    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot was dumb. You had a pregnant enemy fight with abby(dumb). Joel dying in the beginning(dumb) and last but not least(you went all though that troublke just to not kill abby(DUMB!) The grpahics are the only thing good about this game and I won't give a point to that bc there is too many negative dumb things for that!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In 2016 when this game was announced. Neil Drukmann (the writer) said that the relationship between Ellie and Joel was the most important thing to remember, he said "no one loves these characters as much as we did and the sequel would be about Ellie and Joel". He even said "he and the team had played games where you were other characters and they just didn't feel right, they pulled you from the main story"... "Part two will be about Ellie and Joels story and their relationship". And he told the truth, for about 7 hours anyway! Trouble is the game is about 25 hours long!

    Don't get me wrong, the Last of us Part 2 deliveres excellent gameplay, great graphics, music, mechanics and phenomenal gunplay. However, the storyline was an absolute mess.

    SPOILER... They kill a main character and some won't be happy... including me. Now It wasn't great, but I understand why they did it. Yes it was upsetting, but it was a great driver for every emotion Ellie had and her continued journey. But then (and this is the real kicker). You are then forced to play the game using the character that kills the main character mentioned earlier... for the majority of the game too. It make absolutely no sense. Add into this that the this character is a lifeless and utterly dislikeable character, made worse by her actions in killing one of the main characters.

    So the first part of the game (with Ellie) I thought was a 10/10. But the rest isn't enjoyable at all and you are left wondering when you will get to be Ellie again.

    Add into that the fact Naughty dog wanted to use the game as a platform to showcase every problem with LGBTQ issues in the world today. Again I have no issue with this being included in a game, but the sheer amount was too much. It ended up pulling you away from the main story and everything that made the first game so amazing and the platform it created.

    Also Naughty dog lied in the trailer by cutting in shots of Joel from the first game into the trailer to make people think they were going to play with Joel more and no mention of the twist that everyone hates!

    So at the end, after all the above. I haven't felt this cheated since the final season of Game of thrones!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is nowhere near the shadow of the prequel, the gameplay is fine and the graphics are fantastic.
    But, that someone who has played the original, can realize that the factors that made the first one a success are not present and if they are, they did not polish it well.
    Because history has the key: "revenge", constantly, they are saying that you have to take revenge against (spoiler) Abby for what she has done and does not even give the option to kill her. With the revenge key, it doesn't work in a game that was about surviving and seeing how Joel and Ellie went with their relationship.
    It is not a "haters" thing (if you are stuck in 2017), it is people who have played the game and realized that it had no similarity with the previous one. Also, does it not seem strange that the reviews will tell you a hundred in everything, when in their previous ratings they give great games between 80-90? It sounds to me like something happened to them.
    The only good thing that came out was the Gameplay, the graphics and even some flashbacks that Joel and Ellie had 2 years after the first one that expanded their relationship in a pleasant and not forced way as the rest of the story feels, I do not I import that they put things of the LGBT + with that at least that the history had been interesting, but outside, that not even that they could do well.    … Expand

    Subverting our expectations with writing logic similar to Game of Thrones Season 8. Take a great original story and just then just take a big old **** all over it.

    Good visual, music. I think many people(who make 10 or 0 review) arent fair, because this game is middle, not best, not worst. Why? Because long tedious start and no choosing in the game. Authors forgot, about differences of game and movie, tv series. In game I want to give my part in the story, but tlou2 dont give it. Many fans didnt forgive Abby and me too.

    I'm not judging based on graphics or gameplay, just the story. The story is everything to me in a game because if I'm not happy with the story I'm not having a good time. This game ruined all of the enjoyment I received from the first game. Last of us 2 somehow managed to ruin 2 games with this one due to horrible writing.

    I am such a fan of the first game and i love joel and ellie as characters. Part 2 destroys what made the first game so special. It feels like a spit in the face to fans of the first game and the characters. Awful story with an unsatisfying ending. Im done with this franchise and im done with naughtydog games.

    Just wondering how did you manage to come up with that kind of plot. I'm a simple man. When I see low quality plot I'll give 0 point since my main reason in the playing games is experiencing stories.

    Well, The Last of Us Part II is not the most important game in the franchise, nor is it a revolutionary game at its base or in its gameplay. But everything he promised, he fulfills with wisdom and still being better than expected, such as: Beautiful graphics and full of details, as well as the effect of blood, animations, footprints in the mud, water, facial expressions, in the settingWell, The Last of Us Part II is not the most important game in the franchise, nor is it a revolutionary game at its base or in its gameplay. But everything he promised, he fulfills with wisdom and still being better than expected, such as: Beautiful graphics and full of details, as well as the effect of blood, animations, footprints in the mud, water, facial expressions, in the setting (giving the impression that this has really been abandoned for years). His story, which is actually very good, is also courageous, giving a great twist at the end, giving several life lessons and also approaching the point of view of some characters since in the game we control more than one character. It also brings striking scenes and emotions with very impactful deaths. Another thing I liked was that the game got bloodier and more realistic, addressing heavy topics (such as pregnancy, revenge, grief, loss and insanity). Speaking of gameplay, it is not very different from the first one and as I said up there "it is not revolutionary", but it still has some small improvements. Another positive point is that the places were more open, with stores with intensity that can help you. Containing parallel stories that even connect with events. The only thing that took some of my immersion out of the game was the artificial intelligence that is still kind of stupid compared to the first but that's it Besides, the game is incredible and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had in the gaming world.… Expand

    O jogo conseguiu atingir seu objetivo, que era de trazer uma experiência extremamente real, fazendo com que você sinta tudo o que os personagens estão sentido no momento, tendo jogabilidade e gráficos muito superiores ao primeiro game dentre outras evoluções e melhorias. Foi uma experiência única e incrível.

    The graphics are good, as is the shooting, but the story and characters are terrible.
    after part 1, I thought that part 2 would be better at everything, but no. Only the graphics and the shooting, everything else got worse.
    Especially Abby, Is it just awful when we see a normal female ontagonist? Isn't that pumped up something with black armpits?

    In a world without Part 1 it's a solid 10. But this story… I don't know, I can't say it's perfect. Even at Ghost of Tsushima revenge story is better than here. But everything else is great. Visual part (not good in the beginning, but starts to shine later on), music, a lot of tiny details makes this game one of the best at this generation. But again, not perfect

    The ugly side of gamers turn their head once again. They can't handle a lesbian protagonist so they find every possible excuse the reviewbomb this awesome game. (Not saying all of you who gave this game a bad score did this because of this reason). I for one finished it and thought it was really good. Better than the first one? I'm not sure but certainly close.

    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]
