    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really thoroughly enjoyed this game.. The graphics are some of the best and the combat is good step up from the first with the introduction of tall grass, crouching and silencers adding a lot of depth to the game play. At first I didn't like the story and was ready to put the controller down when I realized I was going to play as Abby for half the game. But somehow they made me care and sympathize with her and her friends. This is a story about forgiveness and revenge and I think Naughty Dog did a great job at telling it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Druckman sits in his office that was built by The Last of Us, what he needs to realise is that the real creative force behind that game was Bruce Straley. Bruce is missing from part II and you can tell.

    The thing that is really making me butt hurt about the whole thing is the lies Naughty Dog and Druckman have told, in order to sell the game. Doing a model swap with characters to add Joel into the game even well after he's no longer in the game. Druckman even said in an interview that Ellie was DEFINITELY the only playable character.

    Which leads me to Abby, why? is my first question. What was the point of having to control her for over half the game. For myself and probably 90% of the fans out there, the last of us is Joel and Ellie. It never needed a sequel but if it was getting one it better be about those two is what everyone has said. I forced myself to play through the Abby bits as quick as I could, no collectibles, no upgrades to weapons or stats nothing as I wanted to get back to Ellie.
    The game has been touted as being about the circle of violence and revenge and how its bad. But Abby gets everything she wants in the game while Ellie......

    You know what I just can't do it anymore, if your looking to buy this game and you love the first one, please for the love of god, pretend this doesn't exist and theres only one game, go play the last of us remastered then imagine a sequel in your mind, it will be better than this tripe.    … Expand

Bad story, bad gameplay, So your supposed to buy into the narrative that is laid in front of you, Abby who kills Joel after he saves her, then your supposed to feel angry for Ellie when she for god knows what reason to spare Abby after killing so many, the story just goes off the rails, and its sad to see so many people just gush over the thing like its a masterpiece, Naughty Dog would've been better off making a sequel to Crash Bandicoot… Expand

    Después de esperar tantos años por la secuela del reconocido juego “The Last Of Us” para PS3, Naughty Dog demuestra, con The Last Of Us 2, lo mucho que aprecia a sus fans, desechando lo que a la comunidad parecía importarle (personajes e historia memorable) y priorizando las ideas de un tipo que como mínimo podemos calificar de ególatra (Neil Druckmann). The Last Of Us 2 es un juego queDespués de esperar tantos años por la secuela del reconocido juego “The Last Of Us” para PS3, Naughty Dog demuestra, con The Last Of Us 2, lo mucho que aprecia a sus fans, desechando lo que a la comunidad parecía importarle (personajes e historia memorable) y priorizando las ideas de un tipo que como mínimo podemos calificar de ególatra (Neil Druckmann). The Last Of Us 2 es un juego que saca todas las virtudes de una PS4 en el apartado técnico, sin embargo, todo se ve opacado por una historia que le escupe en la cara a los fans y de paso, busca ser trascendente y revolucionario. Lamentablemente, además de no lograrlo, echa a perder la riqueza de una saga a la que, sin lugar a dudas, le quedaba mucho por dar. SPOILER ALERT.



    - Hizo falta continuar profundizando en Joel y su relación con Ellie. Su muerte se siente forzada y sucede muy temprano dentro del juego.
    - Los personajes nuevos son todo menos interesantes. No se crea una conexión con ellos.
    - Falta de libertad en el jugador para decidir sobre aspectos importantes, principalmente al tener la oportunidad de consumar la venganza.    … Expand

    Excellent graphics, performance, sound, etc. It's the best game ever. The game makes you think a lot through a bitter and realistic ending. Anyway, I recommend you the best game of 'Last of Earth 2'.

    This game has the worst scenario of the year.
    The gameplay is no different from the first part.
    The graphics are not bad. I hope the team that created the game finds a more adequate leader than Neil Druckmann

    You may not like the story, but no one can deny this game is one of the PS4 most beautiful looking game, great sound effects, great level design, voice acting and animations.
    For me it was very satisfying seeing story that is not the old and tired good guys vs bad guys most games have nowadays.

    The developers literally spat on everyone's face and disrespect any kind of love the funs had for the game to push their political agendas only to "subvert expectations" , looks great though that's what matters in today's day and age :D

    Ну, что сказать! Игра сама по себе не плоха, сюжетная линия среднечек (не для фанатов 1 части), любителям толерастии особенно понравится (тут им и лгбт и сильные накаченные независимые дамы, ну и как же без трансгендеров). Графически очень понравилась! Но советую ее проходить только на ютубе, так как очень долгая и эмоции она вам не передаст в отличии от оригинальной версии.Ну, что сказать!

    This games story was a disastrous attempt at shock value, keep identity politics agendas from current times out of our games

    What post apocalyptic world would be obsessed with a person gender?

    Ridiculous story, credit where credit is due, gameplay and graphics are phenomenal but at the human cost of devs wellbeings.

    The writing is so bad, Joel telling those strangers his name, and him trusting them goes completely against his nature.

    Jogo muito bem construído, gráficos de tirar o fôlego, todas as reações dos personagens e dos npcs durante o game deixam tudo mais fluido. A história pode não agradar a todos, mas foi sim muito bem executada.

    The game is just amazing. Sure the story is something that has been stirring the community apart, along with reeling in Sony's haters along the way. But this kind of take is something that no other developers or story tellers won't dare to take. So props to Naughty Dog. My only gripe is that the game is pandered to feminism, or more to feminazis. But still the game did deserves 10/10.

Yeah this game killed off Joel like he wasn't the main protagonist of the last game but people need to really look at this game for what it is. It teaches that revenge is a fool's game and gets anyone involved nowhere. I guarantee that most people like myself will at first hate the game but once they finish it and have time to rationally reflect on the story that they will come to appreciate the story and lesson that this game teaches. This game also has the best graphics and combat system of any game out right now.… Expand

    Pros: ALL, but . . .
    Cons: The first 4 hours playing Abby like a character, I was HATING her, but after all long way, that I went through, I LOVED her as character.
    I can understand, that some people doesn’t like the ending, but I LOVED It, Ellie just made a decision, which defined her as a person, and she’s alone, but she did right thing, she DID NOT kill Abby, but wanted all long way in the Game, she didn’t kill her because she is ABOVE It. Ellie understood, that she doesn’t hate Abby, now she hates only HERSELF, because she was stupid **** who rejected the dearest person in the world. And revenge for Joel it’s just a try to forgive yourself.
    In the ending, Ellie repents before herself about everything she had done.
    I LOVE THIS FRANCHISE, LOVE THIS GAME, I LOVE NEIL DRUCKMANN AND I LOVE NAUGHTY DOG!❤️

Metacritic is already deleting all the negative opinions of this game, but in order to have them see what a terrible thing it is I'm going to say it, Abby should've been killed at the end, nobody wanted to play as Joel's killer, and she had absolutely nothing to add as a character, could she have been written better?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the exact game I've been looking forward too. Back in 2016 when the first trailer dropped me and a buddy predicted that this game would show us the consequences of Joel taking down the fireflies - and that's what we got here. The gameplay is similar to the original, the score is phenomenal, the characters go through hell and back. They made some bold writing choices, and sadly a lot of people weren't on board with it, seemingly due to leaks mostly. The leaks are a bit off, they don't fully explain the experience of this game. And to the people just watching "Lets Plays" that doesn't really give you the proper experience either. To me this is one of the best games I've played, with the only detractor being some minor pacing issues. Otherwise its an easy 10 for me, waited 7 long years for this and was not disappointed.… Expand

    Don't listen to a lot of paid reviewers who are giving this game 5 stars vs people voicing their honest opinion, it is for good reason.

    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]
