    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is quite nice
    Graphics damn nice
    Audio a bit buggy (dina stands next to ellie and her dialogue sounds like im hearing from meters away)
    Dialogue is bad (joel just died days or weeks ago and ellie and dina joke around as if nothing happened)
    The story is just bad, totally bad
    We spend hours in the first game as joel and ellie only to see joel die in the first 1 or 2 hours in TLOU2 Guess what, the game forces you to play as abby(the killer) and her story isn't even impactful
    I can talk a lot more but in summary the game just sucks    … Expand

    Joel what are they done to you... There are many positive aspects of the game, graphics, animations, mod for deaf people, but the story the most important thing is very very weak. I have no motivation for playing more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is one of the best games I've ever played. Every act has its consequences. An open ending where Ellie goes alone being one more survivor in the world, while abby apparently arrived with the fireflies, we can see that when we finish the game in the menu that you can see abby's boat. I would love to see a third and last part of this beautiful game, where Ellie returns to be the protagonist becoming like Joel in the first part, a surviving and ruthless girl, struggling for a long time with the idea of ​​surviving, no matter what happens, she will find something to fight for. abby looking for Ellie because she is the only one who can give the cure for humanity, but Ellie does not give it and kills abby, she is not going to give it to the world, because the world took Joel, like Joel, that they took from Sarah. They are only my theories, which I would like to be possible in part three. Thanks to Naughty Dog you did a great job.… Expand

    A completely lost, confusing narrative arc that whimpers out with an unsatisfying conclusion.

The pretty graphics and solid - if a touch repetitive - gameplay cannot hold up the absolutely terrible characters, both old and new. Abby and her crew are impossible to sympathise with after events that take place early in the game, and characters like Joel and Ellie that return from the original sadly do not have their potential realised here. The relationship between Dina and Ellie is the sole highlight in this bleak mess. Then there is the ending: not only does it not make sense, it completely invalidates the final act of the game, and goes against the themes that it appears the developers are trying to base the game on.… Expand

This game was amazing to me honestly, if you can go in with an open mind and try to understand everything, even if it's just a little, this game will emotionally grab you and walk you through it's story and even more amazing world story telling, characters feel like real people with their own proper, real issues that they have to live with, try your best to ignore all the hate it gets online, cause as far as I've seen, 80% of people I see talking crap about it haven't even played it and are just going off of a 20 minute rant video by someone with a bad mindset about the game, trust me, the story grabs you and will lovingly and painfully show you the true horrors of the Last Of Us world, weather it be the infected themselves, or the even less predictable humans, this game even made me cry at the end and yearn for Joel at the end, where he's most needed for Ellie than ever, as far as I can tell, story wise, it's amazing, gameplay and graphically, it's also amazing, the only ever issue I had, was not having enough differentiation between all the guns, as well as it feels like not enough of them, but that's personal opinion. This game is really good if you just give it a chance.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who loved the first part. It kinda hurts to see how differently the characters are acting related to the first part.
    A journey of revenge turns into a nightmare. Personally, you can't decide on any of those actions. You just have to display what the results are of the bad writing. The game is also too long, stretched and redundant as you play as two identical characters pathways. Expositions are the same, Tutorials are the same. You could easily spare hours of non-related and no fun content without sacrificing this horrifying story. The only credits I can give upon the graphics and the eye for certain details around the world. The quality is amazing, grass, environment in generally. buildings.. I wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't experienced it first hand, that one person, the story writer could ruin such game. Kinda feels sad.    … Expand

The game is dark and horrifying, echoing at times the scariest part of gaming, yet mixes this with a rich, vibrant world, that pushes video games forward. Everything from Part 1 has been pushed further- combat, environment, graphics. The narrative explodes in a well placed dense way as Ellie traverses America seeking revenge after a traumatic event. Exploring the other side of the story so to speak (avoiding spoilers) kept me guessing at every step of the way and truly had me evoking empathy in places and people I did not expect. This cultivates in a gloriously poignant finish that left me smothered in emotion, leaving me with a similar feeling after the credits rolled on part 1. The amount of Uncharted-esque set pieces in the game are well placed and thrilling. The themes of vengeance, grief, love and loss run rampant in this game but are beautifully threaded together in ways that kept me guessing, hoping, gripping onto characters. This is not for the faint of heart and I dare say is not for everybody as it plays with players expectations. This at times may frustrate what you've come to know from Part 1 of the game, but is explained in ways that only enrich the first game more, allowing me to find peace. Upon finishing the game the credits scrolled allowing me the time to breathe, take in what I'd just seen over the course of my 27 hour journey and ultimately reflect on what was an experience I won't forget.

    The Gameplay is okay and the Graphics are great, but the story is very very bad. This has no respect for the characters from the first Game, stupid decisions, unlikeable characters, plot holes, overall poor writing, SJW agendas, unnecessarily much violence and a very bad ending. Don't buy this Game, if you're a fan from the first one, for me this is just non canon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute laughingstock of a video game. ND promises a thought provoking story that after 25 hours of game time boils down to
    -Revenge bad
    -Violence bad
    The director Neil Druckmann went out of his way and said: "The game isn't meant to be fun". What is it trying to achieve then? If you're not providing entertainment, then what are you trying to do? School me? Creators MAKE YOU go though all these terrible things and then have you feel sorry for doing it, but (and this is the worse part) not in a single instance in this game can you choose to go 'non lethal'. See that random dude over there? you're gonna have to slit his throat to progress forward. See that pregnant lady? yeah you gotta butcher her too. And what if you say 'no' , what if you decide that you've had enough and you don't want to mindlessly keep on executing dozens upon dozens of people you have never met before? Well, the game just gatekeeps you out of experiencing the rest of the story. In the name of what? Neils twisted fantasy? A laughable, petty story about revenge? Creators say that the game 'makes you think' but it never actually does. People who made this game think that suffering, gore, mass murdering gives the story depth, which is ridiculous in of itself. Making your characters experience bad things doesn't make them deep, it's the things that they think and how they feel that makes them seem like a real human being. Here, they never reflect upon what they do, and what literal war crimes they've commited. In the original game, you had moments of sadness and grief, but you also had cheerful moments and comic reliefs, There is none of that here. It feels like you are watching a Zack Snyder movie cranked up to 11, everyone is perpetually angry or sad, everyone hates each other for seemingly no reason. Think of Deanerys in GoT s8 and copy paste her ridiculous flip out where she goes on to kill everyone onto every other character in this game. And after all this, laying waste to over 100+ people in graphic fashion, that phisically made me sick and the game forces you to do, you get a manifesto from ND saying that it's wrong to kill people. Are you serious?

    On top of all that pandering and literly spitting on the previous game that people loved you get gameplay mechanics from 2009. I can't stress this enough, in terms of it's gameplay design, this is one of the most outdated, unimaginative AAA game you will ever see. You get the dudes back with one button, stab him with a different one, sometimes shoot the gun, that's it. Game markets having dogs as if it was some game-breaking revolutionary addition even though every stealth game has them. All these new gameplay elements, you've seen all of them in different games, sure they are refined, but not in a way that's worth talking about.

    Graphics and sound design are top notch, you already knew that.    … Expand

    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.
