    This game is trash. Totally boring. Dumb story decisions. Dumb character development. Lame gameplay. Overhyped.

    Honestly this is the best video game the world has had up to this point. The writing was as great as the game play and graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found lev and Abby storyline a bit repetitive and forced in to humanize Abby really pulled at the mind when Abby father is asked would he kill his own daughter to save mankind but again Abby coming in kinda ruined the moment . Also the melee is this game is probably one of the most satisfying of all time hitting people with hammers boards wrench’s ! So fun . People talking about “stop bringing politics into it need to get over themselves and I would love to actually know where because as far as I’m aware there wasn’t . Definitely some holes in the gameplay/story but one of the best games I’ve played this year… Expand

    Stop trying to force modern agendas onto gamers who just want to enjoy what should've been a compelling story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start I want to say clearly that this is NOT a review that targets naughty dog or other **** they are saying. if it was just harassment, I wouldn't write that many words into it and only say *** this game. But, it is my personal and sincere opinion on this game. First of all, I want to say that as a big fan of TLOU1, this sequel is a missed opportunity. it is clear purpose was NOT to make the player enjoys a game. it was clearly made to shove SJW ideology into our mouth.

    people on the other side says that everyone who rates it low is homophobic. here I defend myself and all the others by saying that this is not what makes us HATE the game. if their idea was normal inside to context, I will say it's ok. but an entire game that focuses so much on the character's sexuality in a dangerous world were deaths are around every corner is ****.

    More importantly, killing Joel in the most disrespectful way then force us to try to empathy the killer is just pure stupid. Don't get me wrong, I tried my best to give it a try. I truly tried to look through Abby eyes. but however i see it. i think she is just pure evil. trying to make her less evil by her being nice to dogs and trans kids haven't worked as they thought it will work. she and all her gangs are just unlikeable at all. I didn't care for anyone of them as much as I cared for Joel and Ellie. Then, he just kills Joel and makes Ellie lose everything in her life for a stupid typical un-complete revenge story.

    One more note, in so much dangerous world, how can a 13 years kids think about his sexuality so much and believe that he needs to transform into a boy ?????? aggggh just make it believable that all I ask.

    to be fair, the graphics and the gameplay was so damn good, no other game will beat that level of details. I don't think it is a 4.5 game at all. but, as a response to nail when he has given us a big finger by killing our most beloved character and spitting on it and destroying Ellie's character. I will give him this review as a return. The gaming industry depends on the player's opinion, so if he doesn't care about his audience, then he deserves what he gets.    … Expand

    Poor writing and plot holes here and there. One of the example is Joel character, at the first game he will never trust strangers, it's actually one of the very first lesson he emphasized on, always avoid strangers or be ready for an ambush if you can't avoid them. In tlou2 he actually walked into a lodge full of strangers and drops his guards completely. So out of character, and that'sPoor writing and plot holes here and there.

    Absaloutely meaningless story, such a shame, I enjoyed the action and horror segments but between the messy story and weird left social commentary angle it has just zaps it of all life, a dry meaningless story that trys to hard to be edggy and leaves you blue balled, nah I'm out

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well first of all, they put together 2 stories of abby and ellie, my personal opinion thought this game was all about ellie and not half ellie half abby so, I was getting frustrated through abby’s gameplay.
    Then the end wasn’t what I expected, a lot of hype for the game and really, not that great.
    It’s good, you could play it, but, don’t get high expectatives in the story finale.

    Graphics 10/10 one of the best graphics Music 8/10 really the last of us 1 had a great soundtrack but the last of us 2 doesn’t have like a track that i would remember, only the singed songs

    Gameplay 9/10 it’s the same strange layout from the last of us 1 but they included new things like crawl, dodge and jump so, it’s cool and new/old weapons from the previous game

    After all, a cool game but not what every fan was expecting, still, give it a try. It’s worth it    … Expand

    Yes, the game squeezes out of the prefix as much as possible, in terms of graphics, detail, but we are not playing in graphics, there was a great story of the first part, the story of Joel and Ellie, everyone was like it was unconventional orientation, everyone was captured by the story and the choice made by Joel at the end.

The second part is a complete failure in the story, and in the gameplay part, too, the game is boring, tight, favorite characters will find the fate of John Connor from the failed Terminator 6, and those for whom they will be offered to play disgusting, the ending is unrealistic, it's a bad story, before the sale was cheating players with the trailer that Joel will not let Ellie go alone, forget, you'll get lesbians, pumped transgender, and the scene of sex between two men (now it's a meme). And the game isn't bad for LGBT, it's just a bad script. Druckmann ruined everything for a reason, about a hundred employees, including those responsible for the first part, and Uncharted, left the office.… Expand

    The gameplay and graphics is what the Last of us 2 shines at and the environment is also superbly executed. Some times this game gives more suspense horror moments than franchises like RE, Outlast etc. Now, The story!!!.

My ps4 pro sounds like it is launching into orbit when running this game.

    The story is pure garbage. New characters introduced for no reason. The second half of this game was a pointless side quest that I did not care about. Without spoiling the ending ill just say that it was laughably bad and unsatisfying.

    This is without a doubt the most disappointing video game I have ever played. The bait and switch used to market this game is disgusting.    … Expand

    Pros: Nice gameplay, level design, graphics, audio component.
    Сons:
    - SJW agenda making u sick, - torn plot, - illogical plot twists, - a lot of basically jump scares(indi horror style), - backplot served through notes in 2020 (indi style again). Recap: Another fail of so called "game critics", it's 100% not 10/10 game in many ways. Sequel don't deserve stand along with original.

    Excelente juego, te enseña sobre el lado oscuro de un mundo post apocaliptico, detalla la historia de cada personaje y como se desarrollaron hasta comprender que cada vez pierden mas humanidad por un intento de "sobrevivir", madurando a medida que viven cada suceso, viendo que lo que hacian antes no los diferenciaba de los infectados.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like other reviews I've read. I agree that the gameplay and visuals were pretty good. However, parts of the story were lacking to me and certain parts just seem tedious because of the constant flashbacks from two different characters. Believe it or not I went into this game spoiler free and had no idea of what was going to happen. I will say that during the confrontation between Abby and Ellie, I felt pretty angry that I had to play as Abby and I assumed the worst. I would just look away from the screen and tap the square button just forcing the inevitable. Surprisingly they didnt kill Ellie off there and dragged on. At the end they decide not to complete the quest that the entire game leads up to! Leaving the fan base empty handed on theyre blood thirst for revenge. 5 out of 10 from me. I expected different!… 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]
