    The Last Of Us provides a complete gameplay experience, in a hambiente that provides very tense moments and some very cool scares, it amuses us a lot and makes us want to play again to achieve even better results.

    The game play hasn't improved at all since last gen, and the story is a hot train wreck. This is a perfect example of why you should still use the word "fun" when making a game.

    After reading the reviews, I realized that half of the negative ratings were left by people who did not pass the game, the other half by those who watched the game and did not play. I do not understand why everyone decided that the work of art should please someone. This is a very personal statement and everyone decides for himself whether it is close to him.

    An Honest 10/10. A game that makes you think a lot more about the consequences of your actions on a quest for revenge.
    Gameplays is always fun and absolutely terrifying at points. The game is super long so if you give it a go make sure you haven’t got anything going on in your life for a week.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion a very good game but i didn't like it and i didn't enjoy it at all. The choices that characters took (been written by the directors and writers) seems that doesn't fit with the story and the choices that made in the previous game . Neil and Naughty Dog wrote the story around Joel's death . So they had to kill Joel , but in the game this fact is poorly executed (not cinematography related but storytelling related) . Joel and Tommy decided to trust a complete group of strangers , invited them in their town , gave up their names with no second thoughts . This choice is against the laws of Joel and Tommy as we all know they did terrible things to survive and we see Joel in the first game teaching Ellie about not trusting easily other people in the world of LOUS . So i think that one of the first discussions they had the writers of ND were related about Joel's death . The fact that they choose to break the laws of the characters morals in order to tell another story seems completely off . When you let your characters with their choices develop the story , well , the story actually works feels organic and alive . But when you decide to develop the story around a fact that happens against the character's beliefs ( Joel's and Tommy's mistake to trust a group of strangers) , well, that doesn't tell a story but it puts the characters as puppets and binds them un-physically in a line of storytelling that the writer choose for them (without taking into consideration their personal choices) . All the above , applies to Ellie or Jesse or even Abby as characters . I liked the world , the vision , the cinematic gameplay , the sound , the details , the hard work of people in ND , I even liked the time-line they choose to tell the story ( you see the bed that they cut Yara's hand as Ellie and you don't know what has happened and then you learn as Abby what happened ) . I didn't like the characters and the storytelling at all .… Expand

    It is hard to write well at this moment about the game. What I have to say is that if you believe in videogames as an art form, and not just consumable entertainment, you should play it. Don't form an opinion until you finish, be open and think about all that went through you. This game is a huge step towards art, for games.

You will not get what you want, but you will get a lot to chew on, think about.I completely disagree with claims of bad writing, everything is well built up, has a place, has meaning. Of course it is not a perfect execution, but it is as close as I can imagine getting, while grasping so much, going into so many complicated topics, and doing it so subtly too in some cases. It is not for everyone to enjoy, but it is for those willing, to experience it. There can be a lot of things disagreed on in the story, many conversations started. And that is why I am glad this game exists. I hope people will be willing to dig deeper, and see what was done here. And over time allow this medium to reach its full potential, which proved by this game, is huge.… Expand

So BUY IT NOW AND MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION! /! SPOILER/! I saw a lots of people saying that this game was awful and bad... But you can't judge a game just because your favorite character is dead at the intro. I could understand some of you, but the game wasn't based on Joel so it's really sad that he died, i really liked him but i let a chance to the story... The game is literally 25 hours!!!… Expand

    Which idiot actually think forcing player to play as killer for much beloved character is actually a good idea? No amount of graphics, sound design is able to save this mess. The gameplay is pretty dated and virtually unchanged from PS3 version. Save your money, don't buy this.

    A Masterpiece of Storytelling in Videogames. While the pacing is not optimal and some levels could have been shorter, overall this is the climax of Naughty Dog Games in terms of Gameplay, Enviromental Storytelling, Cinematography, Sound Design and Animations.
    The Story is divise - you can hate it you can like it - but that does not take away from the quality of the game.

    The game is simply incredible, incredible story, with new characters very well made, and old characters very well worked out, besides having good motivations for each character, the gameplay is very well done and realistic. The game is a roller coaster of emotions and besides being heavy it is exciting and nobody would be prepared for this experience.

    Compared with the previous work, the playing method has almost no essential change. Although the game is very attractive in terms of details, they do too badly in terms of core content.

    The story of part 1 is so epic. It has become my favorite game of all time. I played it so many times on different difficulties. And I couldnt wait for the moment to play part 2.
    And now I cant even tell how disappointed I am. The story of part 2 is so horrible. Abby is a horrible char. Naughty Dog you destroyed your own legend!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel was a good man, a single father who did his best to take care of his daughter. When the world ended, he tried to escape with it, but a military barrier ended that hope. He became a bitter, violent man and lost all reason to live.
    One day he receives a mission, escorting a girl to the Fireflies. Reluctantly he accepts and, to his surprise, begins to develop feelings for the girl. It keeps you alive and safe all the way, no matter what needs to be done. In the end he discovers that fate would once again take his girl, he does not agree and sacrifices the whole of humanity to save the girl, he then lives with the burden of being responsible for having taken - perhaps - the only way to salvation of the world.
    He knows that when she finds out, she will be furious with him, yet she doesn't regret what she did and moves on, with the weight of all these and future deaths on her back.
    Joel - years later - is brutally murdered by Abby, daughter of the doctor who would kill Ellie on the operating table, a clear violation of the Hippocratic oath he once took. That man THREATENS him with a scalpel and stands between him and his daughter. That man made his choice, he could have just run out of the room, he kills that man.
    Joel dies without regrets, he would do it all over again.
    Then it is time for Ellie to avenge her father, whose sin that led him to die was to have saved his life in the past. Ellie can't do this, she can't stand to live with her hands full of blood and lets her father's murderer get away with it, to live contentedly with the revenge she did. The only person she really needs to kill, that she had reason to hate and kill - not just survive - she lets out, out of weakness. Ellie doesn't deserve Joel's love.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The rest of the people on this website are overreacting to an outrageous degree. This game is not as terrible as most people are saying. What they are, is pissed off at certain plot points, to a degree that they ignore the rest of the game. The soundtrack for the game is incredible and immersive. The lighting and visuals are the best out of any game i've ever played. The character models aren't incredible, but to say they're bad would be wrong. Each one is unique and looks better than 90% of games. The actual acting is top notch, as expected from Naughty Dog. The atmosphere is tense as hell, and really immerses you in the game. And no, unlike what everyone says, the game is not as bleak and void of fun as they say. There's plenty of jokes and beautiful moments that make the slower parts worth it. I mean, just look at the museum scene.
    Now, where the game does fall apart, is the story. Yes, it's bad. If NG just rearranged some scenes, it would be perfectly good. The building blocks for a good story are there, but they're not put together. However, the combat system has made many improvements (besides for dodging, because god that's broken), it's so accessible that you can play it if you're visually or audibly impaired, and if you have declined motor functions. There's plenty of environmental puzzles (Even though many critics will lead you to think otherwise), and the chase scenes are tense as hell.

    The only reasons that this game is being rated so low, are:
    People are being pissy that NG made some massive jumps narrative wise
    They killed off Joel without any retribution (When he deserved it, since he removed the potential cure for humanity and killed hundreds of people)
    The story is sub-par (Haha golf joke)
    And, most of all, they're comparing it to the first game. Which is flat out unfair. Nothing they could put out could top the first game, because the first game was built around making connections and deepening them, while getting to understand and connect with characters. But there's no way they could be as compelling in a sequel, when you already know the characters inside and out, the bar is way too high, and they couldn't make any massive twists like the first game, since their personalities are already set in stone from the first.
    Overall, the game is set to way too high of a bar because of it's predecessor, but if you take it as a standalone game, it's easily an 8/10 at the very least.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are the only good thing about this game. Having the characters being out of character is a huge problem. Joel and Tommy would have never given their real names out to a large group of strangers knowing the fireflies where potentially hunting them. Abby holds on to the hate of Joel for 4 years and has absolutely no remorse or unease about killing someone who just saved her life multiple times. This just shows Abby is a psychopath and needed to be put down. They then continue to have Ellie slaughter hundreds of people to get to Abby just to let her go.... They also showed Joel in scenes in trailers that he's not in so you buy the game thinking you get to play as Joel at some point and that he's alive through most of the game. However, he's killed within the first couple of hours. They then force you to play as Abby for 10ish hours AFTER you kill Joel. No one cares to play as Abby after what she did to a beloved character. All around it's just a bad story which you can't have in a STORY DRIVEN game. If TellTale had crappy stories no one would play their games. It contains the same gameplay as the first game with the same dumb AI and Good graphics.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part. II, is a show, with beautiful graphics “even on ps4 fat” and a very fluid and challenging gameplay. A remarkable story that brings different conflicting feelings. It may not please everyone, it requires a lot of maturity and leaves a bitter taste in us, but certainly a unique, adult game that should be played by everyone if possible.

    This game is a masterpiece. Period. But not for everybody.
    First let me tell you what is undeniable good in the game. Then we can discuss the "bad" part. Graphics: It is really stunning, the lighting, textures, effects. You wont believe is still a PS4 game and pc master race boy is telling you.
    Details: The detail on this game is gargantuan, Unreal. From every póster, every note, objects.    This game is a masterpiece. Period. But not for everybody.
    First let me tell you what is undeniable good in the game. Then we can discuss the "bad" part. Graphics: It is really stunning, the lighting, textures, effects. You wont believe is still a PS4 game and pc master race boy is telling you.

    Details: The detail on this game is gargantuan, Unreal. From every póster, every note, objects. You are not longer in a video game room pretending to be a real life place, you are in a real place inside a video game. Every place can tell you a story, each corner shows you how it became stuck in Time, but nature keep moving onward. I found myself looking at every detail in every room and place. Ambientation: You go from breathtaking landscapes to nightmare fuel places, which they were once common crowded places now you have to explore abandoned in the dark. You can feel fear and danger on every step. No apocalyptic world feel so real like this game. Gameplay : Its brutal, dynamic and organic. Every move and Action your characters do has weight and reacts to her surroundings. I never felt safe or powerful, but always with the necesary tools to survive. Acting : yes Acting, since the characters has voice, facial expressions and body languaje, along with prime dialogue writing, sometimes you can forget that they are virtual characters. Now im going to talk about the controversial part. Story. So Minor Spoilers ahead and really helpfull clarifications.

    First, there is no LGBTTIQ agenda. Yes Ellie is lesbian and Lev is transgender, not transexual. But these are character traits, a part of their whole and not a big label.
    You are more into Ellie artístic and geek part, and Lev wisdom and courage and his grow Out of the Shell.

    Second. If you want to play with the charming anti hero that kills every thing without remorse, this is not your game. Joel is no a playable character and the main characters are real people with flaws, but the will to survive. Third and most important. These characters motivations are not clear as water and Their decitions will not be the same as yours, dont try to be rational, they are human beings in a apocalyptic World trying to do what is right or feel right to them.

    That said, if you are mature enough to go along with a simple plot full of the best and the worst human feels, the misery of human nature and the consequences of your actions. Then the game is for you. The ending and the story as a whole will feel like your heart is ripped Out, then crushed and craved in again by your guts. If a game can make you feel that, then is more than a game.    … 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.
