    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m incredibly upset with this game. I loved the first one. It was amazing and I definitely recommend to anyone who owns a PS4. I was weary of a sequel as the first one didn’t need it but as each trailer released I got more and more excited. I knew very little about the leaks and after playing it I have to admit it wasn’t probably an honour to have this game spoiled. First off Joel dies in a completely disrespectful way to his character. Then it gets worse. About halfway through the game you play as Joel’s killer and you have to beat the living **** out of Ellie. And then it gets even worse as Ellie lets Abby go after murdering pretty much everyone in Seattle. The only reason I’m not giving this a lower score is because there are some good moments mainly the flashbacks with Ellie and Joel and the gameplay has improved also with some excellent level design but I seriously don’t recommend this game. Maybe if you can find it for under £20 or if it’s free on PS Plus in the future but yeah a bad game that’s very disrespectful to the first.… Expand

    The game makes me very uncomfortable with the young lesbian scenes. Majority of the game is playing with the enemy who you don’t want to play with. The back and forth switching to present to past was just awful. Did JJ abrams direct this game too? Star Wars:the last Jedi, last season of game of thrones, not this trash game. What a waste of money and time!! Hot garbage

    A masterpiece in design and story telling. Don't listen to the haters. The gameplay is familiar to the first game with many welcome changes. Very emotional experience, not without it's minor flaws. Definitely worth giving a chance.

    A masterpiece, the best example of game as an achievement of art and storytelling. The Last of Us II leads us to a sensitive journey that challenges our selfishness. A must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a woman who played both games entirely. I am so disappointed with the new story! The game was beautiful, but the story was butchered. I get taking risks, but this was just misery porn. I dislike most of the new characters too. Jessie -was- cool! Owen was growing on me too. But everyone that annoyed me was able to live. I just dont know why this was advertised as Joel & Ellie. It should just be called "Me Abby"… Expand

    Uma das histórias mais intensas e emocionantes que já vi num jogo. Personagens carismáticos e mt complexos. Esse jogo não é apenas sobre vingança, e sim sobre consequências, comportamento humano e amor. Sim, amor. É preciso ter maturidade e a mente aberta para entender a complexidade da história e dos personagens. Na parte de gameplay não tenho nem o que falar. Simplesmente incrível.Uma das histórias mais intensas e emocionantes que já vi num jogo. Personagens carismáticos e mt complexos.

    the gameplay is quite similar to the first game with slight improvement and all new mechanics, making it quite fun to play. The story is also great, it does a great job of immersing the player into the role of Ellie. I do understand why a lot of people are mad, but if you want to appreciate the game you've got to actually open your eyes to the story. overall its a great game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una locura, te lleva emocionalmente de un lugar a otro, haciéndote experimentar todo tipo de sensaciones y plantear verdaderos dilemas morales.
    Debo admitir que duele lo que le sucede a Joel pero es parte de darle profundidad también al juego anterior, en el que no solo salvamos a Ellie de Npc si no que de personas que también viven y sienten igual que nosotros. Luego gráficamente es impresionante y las expresiones faciales son de lo mejor que vi.
    Por otro lado la jugabilidad es bastante fluida se siente en muchos puntos muy real y natural, aunque hay que admitir que no es completamente igual a lo que nos habían presentado en el 2019/2018 más o menos. A pesar de esto sigue siendo increíble y muy logrado por parte de los estudios desarrolladores Un juego que vale la pena jugar y del cual no te vas a arrepentir de haberlo hecho.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know it's just a freakin' game and should put aside my emotions when rating but I found the game very very depressing when compared to the first game. I don't mind the ultra-brutality of the gameplay but in the story, there is tragedy after tragedy after tragedy and it almost never stops. And i must admit that when Joel died I got really depressed. Characters die one after another. There is not a moment of relief or even a glimpse of it because as you play the game you can already assume that everything will end bitterly.

    To a newcomer of this game I would likely recommend this but to those who have played and loved The Last of Us Part I, I give this warning that this sequel is something that may probably devastate you. But if you are brave enough, be sure to try this one and if you are not then pretend that this sequel does not exist at all and Joel and Ellie are still living peacefully ever after.

    Respect and Peace!    … Expand

    I liked the character who pretended he was a woman, shame there was not much more to like, collecting hormones in the apocalypse seems pretty silly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The whole story is mainly about forgiving. This game makes you feel the anger and the lust for vengeance. Then, it shows you what these feelings cost. The process of forgiving takes time, this is why Ellie killed so many people but not Abby at the end. And if you still want to kill Abby at the end of the game, then it means you lost the game. This game shows you that you are not pure good and the people you hate are not pure evil. There is no hero or villain in this story and in the real life. In addition, in real life, most of the people die early in a way they do not deserve. So, I think that the joel's death was so realistic.
    Moreover; atmosphere, graphics and the combats are so good. You may not like the game for you did not like the story, but you must appreciate that.    … Expand

    It's a game about giving up everything you love for revenge. It's about you being the villain in someone else's story. It's about feeling empathy by putting yourself in another person's shoes. This game broke my heart, and I loved every minute of it.

    I’m pretty confused about all the “controversy” because this game has it all. It has a gripping story, very well written and complex characters, incredible gameplay. Beautiful environments. It’s an emotional roller coaster in the absolute best way! So much replayability and it’s such a satisfying length. You won’t regret picking this one up.

    En la era donde reina la inmediatez emocional, llega una obra maestra que indigna a los necios, presentándoles la introspección infinita del mito.

    Pegaram a sequência mais fácil que poderia ser feita, e fizeram algo totalmente diferente. simplesmente incrível, chocante de mais, tive muitos sentimentos jogando, e não espero menos de algo que é uma arte.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game follows the idea of revenge. The graphics are brilliant, but that's about where it ends. The story tries to make us sympathise with a new character, Abby, whose dad was killed in the crossfire at the end of the brilliant game that the first one was. She gets saved by Joel, but ends up torturing him and kills him in front of Ellie, who now embarks on a mission. I felt that the new characters were weak, but Jesse became quite likeable, but Ellie's girlfriend seems unnecessary, being pregnant and being hauled along. Character development was bad, Abby's story was not good enough and a huge disappointment of a game, especially because of the hype, a brilliant first game and waiting around for 7 years. 1/10.… Expand

    This is a joke. Dull gameplay that hasn`t changed since 2013. God-awful story. The reliance on graphics instead of interesting combat and likable characters. And this is what we get after 7 years of waiting?
    This game should have never been released.

    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]
