    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The reason that I am giving this a rating of 5/10, is because of the story alone. I really enjoyed the game play and the graphics though. Coming from The Last Of Us, we were not expecting a Part 2, but here we are 7 years later and oh my god. So as I stated, the story is not very good. I know where they were trying to go, but they went about it the wrong way. Not only did they kill off a beloved character (one of the MAIN characters may I add) they didn't even have Ellie kill Abbey. As well as having us play as the killer of JOEL! And they try to make you feel sorry for her! Naughty dog even MISLEAD all the fans of the game by inserting Joel into roles that HE IS NOT IN! Now, I understood about the whole "ending the cycle" of non-stop killing. When you read these reviews on websites about the whole "these people are homophobic or they are incels" and the list goes on. NO! This is not the case for everyone. I have played the ENTIRE game through and i had no issue with LGBT. Most people are negative bombing the game without playing it, and just solely giving reviews on the leaks they see, or they are just agreeing with people who have a bigger following. I actually applaud naughty dog for doing this, BUT DO NOT call the people who don't like the game homophobic, trans-phobic, incels and etc. It just shows how immature these sites are.

    So all in all, It isn't a bad game. Bad story? YES. Good graphics? YES. But we are not allowed to hate the games story without the name calling. It has to stop!

    Thank you and have a nice day!    … Expand

    A great part 2 to a great franchise but overstays its welcome with bloated sequences and padding galore. Opportunity to end in a number of occasions which I feel would have been a more satisfying ending however would not have changed my rating.

    The gameplay is good but not a big enough change to make it stand out. Graphics are great with a big jump from TLOU1. But the bad review from this comes down to the decisions made with the story. The decisions made destroyed what made the first game amazing and I believe the decisions made were not the right ones.

    Last of us part 2 is a great addition to the playstation family with a very thought out story that challenges your thinking, challenges your loyalties and shows you in the last of us universe, each action could have a painful consequence. Great gameplay, great graphic and a very intriguing story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game starts off with a memory of joel and ellie after the events of the first game, and will end many years later, but the game in general will have a lot to show that might be questionable to some fans and will sit firm with some. After the game starts, you immediately feel the world and the characters, the combat feels nice and smooth and will change through difficulty, but the main focus here is the storyline, the storyline was intriguing and depressing but still interesting in a good way. This game wants to show us the amount of work and pressure was put into it, and the developers delivered the game will definitely go down in history for killing off a character other companies wouldn't dare to touch, joel sadly gets beaten by a golf club, but this will become the main story for the rest of the game, the story is hard to understand but if you take the time and really understand it you realize, everything comes together even if you might not like abby she will still become a relevant character that gets misunderstood because so many people think joel is a badass and untouchable, and although we think he is great, he would probably go down as the worst man in history because of his selfishness, joel ultimately gets killed by someone who wants a eye for an eye, and even to end this will be obvios and contributes to the story. Characters are as lovable as ever and will mostly be different which adds diversity and uniqueness to the game and im definitely going back in for another playthrough to see if i find new details on them. The combat doesn't get to much added but it still manages to feel more diverse and vast, but the gun combat will sometime feel just off but it usually doesn't matter because it goes back to its great gun combat almost immediately and stops the awkwardness. Overall The last of us part 2 will go down in history as a great sequel, and will not be doubted until you play the game for your self, but if you dont like the game its okay, thats just life… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler alert. Remember how the original TLOS was about "it can't be for nothing"? Well, part 2 is for nothing. Joel died for nothing. Ellie killed many people to get to Abby for nothing. Jesse died just to leave his child for the ladies, but Dina disappeared at the end so even uninteresting and unimportant Jesse died for nothing. And apparently, for Neil Druckmann, sexual orientation of the characters are more important than their personality. I lost my interest in the upcoming HBO show too.… Expand

    lo matan de una forma ridicula, pero es la escena mas dramatica que tiene el juego, el resto carece de impacto emocional y la mayor parte por no decir todos los protagonistas son desechables, no terminas de conectar con ellos y ya mueren de una forma muy simplista. el recorrido del juego es buscar venganza pero realmente es en vano, ni el grupo podes matar que se mueren solos, carece de sentido y te hacen ir de aca a alla recorriendo ciudades muertas.
    lo peor de todo
    la mitad del juego jugas como la persona que mato a joe, ¿en serio Neil Druckman? que tenias en la cabeza cuando pensaste en eso
    creiste que me gustaria jugar con ese personaje o que simpatizaria con el?

    Beautifully nuanced writing is the staple yet again albeit with a brash way of conveying it. Despite wavering at times, it’s sense of overbearing morality stems through characters, story and outlook on life. Gameplay however lacks variety and affairs meander way too long to the point it forgets it’s a Video Game.

    Un increíble trabajo de Naughty Dog, un videojuego muy hermoso gráficamente, animaciones, detalles muy cuidados acompañado de un jugabilidad impecable.
    Es un videojuego tan espectacular como pensé que serían los videojuegos en un futuro,.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego no se merece las críticas tan negativas que tiene, algunas simplemente sobre cosas muy banales.
    El juego es bueno, aunque es tedioso que tenga tantas horas de gameplay, tampoco me agrada la idea de que me obliguen a jugar con un personaje que me cae pésimo, sólo para intentar empatizar con él. La jugabilidad está anticuada, pero los gráficos son fantásticos, y la historia estará mal narrada para quienes simplemente se pongan a jugar, y no presten atención ni quieran analizar el por qué de cada acción. Podría estar mejor narrada, y desarrollada para esos jugadores casuales.
    Comparando este juego con la primera parte, claramente es un mal TLOU, pero no es un mal juego.    … Expand

    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]
