    A true masterpiece. Must be played in it's entirety to be fully appreciated. Don't listen to the incoherent bots giving this a zero because the leaks triggered them or because they don't have a PS4 to play it.

    No idea why this game has been bombed on the user rating here. It’s a clear and absolute 10/10 in my book.

    Decepcionado totalmente, narrativa espantosa. Con ese afán de meter con un calzador obviamente por marketing, la inclusión. Se nota mucho que es forzado. La verdad lo peor de naughty dog.

    Wow...I finished it this morning and I can't stop thinking about it.I've never been this invested and immersed in a game before, I can barely find my words.
    The gameplay formula from the first game is much improved and the new mechanics, even if they seem simple, add a lot especially for stealth.Some sections from the second half of the game are peak survival-horror experiences.

    The visuals are out of this world and envoirments are huge with an insane attention to details.Every few minutes I had to stop and take the view in, not to mention how every place is packed with notes/items that tell stories of the people who once lived there.
    I was initially dissapointed with the story after reading all the leaks and the ending and even considered cancelling my preorder, but I couldn't because I pre-downloaded it, so I went into it expecting a great game with a terrible story.I was very, very wrong.Once I saw how everything unfolds I was blown away, the story is great, characters are extremly well written and even the ending, wich to me seemed irredeemable, turned out to be amazing.I'm never trusting leaks ever again, I can't believe I almost didn't play this.
    To me this is a masterpiece that surpasses the first game in every aspect, and it's without a shadow of a doubt my game of the generation.    … Expand

    WTF was that. The main complaint is the plot component and the SJW agenda. It is also worth noting the outdated gameplay with a boring quick press of certain buttons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After thinking about why I utterly disliked this game, I could only reach one conclusion.
    In the first game as Joel, I could put myself in his place and picture myself doing the same, anything to save Ellie in the end.
    But in this game... A LOT of the things the characters do make NO sense to me.

    Maybe this is one of those games that would benefit from multiple choices in the ending, I dunno.
    I could NEVER let Abby go, and I never really enjoyed playing as her, it felt completely forced "revenge is bad", witness the other side, etc, shenanigans.

    This game is a sequel, I wanted to see things from Ellie, Joel, Dina and their friends and settlement.
    Even Joel's death didn't bother that much, life in the apocalypse is tough and sometimes the worst enemies are people, I get it.

    As Ellie, I'd probably never leave Dina alone with the baby, but I understand Ellie was suffering from severe PTSD, so... ok I suppose.

    But then, by the end when we find Abby, I wouldn't even cut her loose, I'd just stab her in the gut while she was in the 'pillar' and walk away...
    Or if Ellie insisted in a duel, I could do that and the game could end with either one dead.
    Or just shoot her after she took us to the boats and sail away probably shooting Lev as well... I wouldn't wan't any Abby's friend around.

    TL;DR: There is no way in my mind I can see Ellie (or myself as Ellie) not killing Abby or die trying.    … Expand

    Game story is terrible, the graphics and animations are very good, but they are not worth it in the end. I feel like this entire franchise has been ruined by this release, also I feel like Naughty Dog falsely advertised what the story is going to about, that's why I'm giving it a 4.

    (NO SPOILERS)

    I replayed The Last Of Us remastered the week before part 2 released so it was very easy to compare the two. The original is a 10/10 but does have its flaws. I forgot how little dialogue there actually is between Ellie and Joel and how much of the game is spent running around in silence. I have heard a lot of people saying they loved the first game but hated the second one; yet many of the flaws they passionately criticize in this new release are very much present in the original. Personally I thought part two was a very smart continuation of the story that answered many questions from the 1st game. It also provided ample fuel for speculation and discussion, similar to the ending of the original. Having played both games back to back, I can say that they actually match up well and are directly intertwined in fundamental ways that I found satisfying as a longtime fan of the original.

    I took my time with this game and it is a BIG game. The amount of content provided blows away almost all similarly priced games and delivers an exceptional amount of value for $60. Coming from someone who thought Uncharted 4 was a blast but ended too suddenly, the scope of the Last of us 2 allows you to fully immerse yourself in the world. The documents and collectibles available in the game are actually fun and engaging this time around, and seriously help to flesh out the story and add atmosphere. Collectibles were a major disappointment in the original and I was thrilled to see Naughty Dog put much more effort into them this time around. I enjoyed exploring every single zone to fully take in the visuals and discover hidden secrets, and it felt rewarding to do so.

    Speaking of visuals, this game is stunning from beginning to end. It is by far the best looking game of this generation and even people who hate the story can't help but praise how damn good this thing looks. The frame rate remains silky smooth even in the largest open spaces and during frantic combat. Not once did a technical glitch break my immersion and I always felt fully in control of my character. The variety of locations and color pallets will make you stare in awe, sometimes for minutes at a time.

    After replaying the original, it was clear to me that combat needed improvement. Part 2 improves upon the original's game play in almost every way. It is tense and brutal, but also carries with it a huge amount of variety and player choice. Your character has much more momentum and when your stealth plan breaks down, you can sprint and hide and ambush even in the heat of battle. The game also features an incredibly good checkpoint system that consistently updates your progress mid encounter, but that will also allow you to completely start over if you wish. Restarting from your checkpoint takes less than 2 seconds which allows you to easily rectify a missed headshot that alerts the whole camp. I found myself using this feature often so that I could play through each encounter in a way that felt tactical and satisfying. I never lost more than a minute of progress and load times were basically nonexistent. Although the combat is some of the most realistically portrayed violence in a game, it never felt too over the top or in bad taste. If you shoot someone in the head they die instantly; if you shoot someone in the neck it is also an instant kill but they sputter and choke for a few seconds before falling silent. It added a certain realism but never made me feel uncomfortable. I actually had fun much the same way adults enjoy a good R rated movie such as gladiator for realistically portraying violence.

    Finally to address the story. It is complicated, non-linear and gives the player many opportunities to draw their own conclusions and make their own judgments. I must mention that this ambiguity was openly praised in the original, and what made the original's ending so good is undeniably present in part 2. Personally I found the story mature, heartfelt, tragic, and believable. I didn't cry the way I did during parts of the original, but I very much enjoyed the expertly crafted tale. You will not end this game with a feeling of "OMG I have chills" such as I felt upon completing Bioshock Infinite or the original TLOU. Instead this story is very much a sum of its parts that leaves you pondering and recalling details long after completion. I felt a little let down by the end, but the longer I think about it, the more everything seems to tie together into a masterful work of art. It is not perfect, but is so carefully crafted that I don't feel in a position to point out a specific change or flaw, for doing so would potentially ruin the cohesive tale and emotional impact of the game.

    In conclusion, very few games match the high bar Naughty Dog has set. If you absolutely hate exploration, looting, 3rd person shooting and complicated stories I can understand a 8/10 review.

    I am disappointed with the last of us 2, an evolution of minor gameplay, we are messing up the story to integrate politics in the games, and we are told if we don't like it's that we are homophobic.
    the last of us 1 will remain a masterpiece but on the 2nd my disgust of the license, I never saw it again

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
