    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First lets address some of the stupid criticisms:
    This game is not some LGBTQ+ propaganda. Yes Ellie is gay, and her love interest is a significant character, but her being gay has no importance to the story. The game would not be any different if she was straight and Dina was a guy. Ellie is the main character on an incredible adventure, that just happens to be gay. There's not a leftist agenda being pushed on Ellie's sexuality, just a character trait. Second, Abby's arms are huge. If you had lost your dad and spent the next four years tracking his murder down to seek revenge, my guess is you'd be hitting the gym hard. Abby is a brute character and provides a very fun gameplay difference from what we're used to.

    This game is DARK, and does not have a happy ending. I was very mad at Joel's death, but I knew it had to happen. The point of this game was to show that all actions have consequences, and there are two sides to every story. It's easy for us to think that Joel made the right choice in part 1 saving Ellie, because we played the whole game as Joel. But he killed a lot of people, including Abby's father. It's great that we're mad at Abby in the beginning, because we buy into Ellie's revenge story. We cheer her on at every step and don't care about the lives she takes because to us, they're the bad guys that killed joel.
    Then the tables turn, we play as the murder. It's weird, I didn't like it. I found as many ways as possible to kill abby just hoping I could change joel's faith. Then we learn about her father, and start playing as her perspective. You start to care about her and her friends and want to explain it all to Ellie. All the sudden we feel bad about Owen and Mel, we want to do it all differently. This game makes you feel all sorts of crazy emotions. We hate Abby for killing joel, hate it. But understand the reason, because we played the same with Ellie. Both sides are avenging a father figure, and both sides are blinded by this.    … Expand

    I loved it. It's as bittersweet as only a "The last of us" game can be. The story plays with your feelings and morals as few games can. Not the perfect game, but storywise I think it's the best of the year.

En el tema visual y mecanico es simplemente excelente se disfruta mucho estos momentos de acción y debemos felicitar a los animadores y creadores de los escenarios ademas de los encargados del apartado grafico esta gente trabajo 15 horas diarias se merecen respeto y admiracion pero la historia es horrible; empezare con los personajes: Joel de aquel hombre que desconfiaba de todo el mundo nos queda un hombre que entra a una base que no conoce llena de gente desconocida y de postre va desarmado ¿donde quedo ese Joel contrabandista y bandido experto en ese mundo tan crue?l y su muerte es lo peor, no quería que tuviera una muerte épica pero si una digna. Tenemos tambien a Ellie que por sed de venganza mata a gente que le suplica piedad y que no tenia nada que ver, pero al final se acuerda de Joel y no mata a Abby por que la venganza no es buena mata el alma y la envenena vamos no me jodas ¿y todos los anteriores a los que disparo, mutilo y descuartiso? ellos no merecian piedad pero a la mujer que mato a Joel y a muchos de sus seres queridos la deja ir te quedas pensando que Ellie sufre de bipolaridad luego tenemos a Abby que no me parece un personaje malo del todo pero que al principio tratas de hacerte autokill por que te obligan a jugar con ella y sientes que sus misiones son el 60% del juego es que parece que el juego es de ella y merece llamarse The last Abby; Los detalles son muy buenos como los comics, el libro de "el espacio para idiotas" y el de "los dinosaurios" que encontramos en la casa de Joel que refuerza el amor de padre que Joel sentia por Ellie y que por salvarla volveria a condenar a la humanidad una vez más.
    Ahora toca la historia que se siente muy forzada ¿porque Abby le perdonaria la vida a Ellie DOS veces y esto apiica de igual manera para Ellie; el tiempo que juegas junto a Dina la trama no avanza y lo sientes como relleno, donde quedo el ritmo del primer juego que suponía un reto en cualquier momento y que los descansos eran cortos y sentías que el juego NUNCA desperdicia tu tiempo.
    todavia no puedo creer que se hayan tardado 7 AÑOS en esto.
    ACTUALZACION: Ahora que me doy cuenta que la historia parece una telenovela y Ellie hace todo por capricho.    … Expand

    game is sub par at best gots good graphic minimal replay value and story is agenda driven and points out what should not be in games the story was disappointing and the plot points were the worst in a game and the mechanic's was not polished and smooth i give this game a 4/10 at best for it's lack of being a sequel to it's predecessor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game really doesn’t deserve all the hate. The so-called “agenda” being pushed, I don’t see at all. And I’d absolutely hate it if the game did this. But I just don’t see any indication of that. Game is great. However, at the midway point about 10-11 hours in, it started to lose me. There’s a cliffhanger and then you’re playing Abby’s side of the story for the next 8-10 hours which slowly began to kill it for me. 2 hours was okay, but then the story began to revolve around new characters you had to help for some reason, which annoyed me as at that point I just wanted the game to reach it’s end. I’d give the game 8/10, as it was still great, but for me around 8-10 hours to long which drags score down.… Expand

    The game is great!!! I loved how they improved on the game mechanics of the first game. And the graphics are beautiful!!! It really makes you feel like you are truly there!!! The story is good, I would have change how some parts of the story were presented and I had some issues with the chronology but overall is a great game!!!

    It's a gorgeous game. Which holds on what we've known about Ellie and Joel in the first part and it's like hour or hour of play and cutscenes that hold's on to that theme.

    It's really sad, in this day and age where political correctness is the no. 1 priority in pretty much everything, we got to the point where it affected games!?

    We all know why the game is how it is, don't lie to yourself.

    The beautiful graphics, the outstanding physics, all ruined by a team of writers that just cared about being politically correct.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to vent and express my frustration with disappointment, the story line is weak and is clearly pushing a narrative down your throat, the story does not flow well at all throughout the whole experience. We are forced to play a character during the last half of the game that I really didnt care about playing. And then I was left empty and unsatisfied at the end of the game, my whole journey was basically pointless and a waste of time. This is a problem and pattern with game developers, you start a great game and turn into crap and ruin it with sequels they think we want instead of making game sequels we want. Sorry Naughty Dog I dont think the TLOU franchise is salvageable anymore and you deserve a boycott. These game reviewer critics that are giving this game perfect scores are lying and they dont want to be blacklisted. Save your money, I had high hope and expectations and I was disappointed and lost respect for Naughty Dog.… Expand

Но следует уточнить , что призывного ничего нет , как это было в TLOU1 , но следует уточнить , что кат сцены на высоте и твои глаза радуются им , словно смотришь на небо Аустерлийца. Визуал похвалил , теперь перейдем к такой важной теме , как гомосексуализм , феминизм , которого в данной игре достаточно... 1. Эбби имеет руки , что моё почтение... Как-будто не женщина , а мужчина... Скажу честно это неприятно , но со временем просмотра привыкаешь. 2.Сексуальные сцены как однополые , так и разнополые присутствуют... Нормально это или нет ? Не знаю , но 21 век на дворе , по-моему это необходимо принять , но я понимаю других игроков , тем более русскую ЦА , которая негативна относится к гомосексуальным меншинствам. Но к ориентации Элли удочка была также закинута в DLS к первой части. На этом предпочтут остановиться, ибо мусолить данную тему не хочу , ды и меня она как то не особенно затронула. Если не любите пропаганду гомосексуализма , то не играйте в данную игру. ( Хотя она не такая плохая , как её оценили большое кол-во ЦА) СЮЖЕТ. (спойлерить не буду ) Основной критерий, за который TLOU2 была осаждена недовольствием ЦА. Скажу пару моментов (Спойлерить не буду ) Игра пройдется вам по нервам!(Обязательно сыграй(те) в первую часть ! ) Сюжет очень необычный и в некоторых моментах может показаться глупым , тупыми , банальным , но это лишь на первый взгляд. Он помогает понять , что испытывает каждый герой , чего он хочет и какую цену он за это отдаст. Его необходимо понять и обдумать. Лично я получил от просмотра данной игры следующие чувства : злость , уныние, непонимание , отрицание. Сюжет играет по вашим чувствам , как Элли играет на гитаре. Вывод. Я могу 4 тома написать о данной игре , но не буду. Игра понравилась. Стоит ли тебе её покупать ? Не знаю... Подумай. Сначала оценил данную игру в в диапазоне 6из10 , но прошло пару деньков , и игре я щедро накинул 2 балла . Скажу сразу это не шедевр из шедевром , какой была первая часть , но и неплохая игра , она наполнена смыслом (пусть и кажется , что глупым , это на первый взгляд ).

    The game is not a masterpiece but a very good game. Gameplay mechanics in comparison with the first part seems more "alive". Well-written characters, interesting fights, large locations, as well as wonderful graphics give a storm of emotions. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with this game (of course, after passing the first part).

Graphics are amazing the best I've ever seen gameplay is really good also, technically this game is extremely good the attention to detail is phenomenal. The story is really bad , it's basically a revenge story so pretty unoriginal, basically Abbey wants revenge for the death of her father bu Joel, the way they write this is stupid Abbey tried to enter the town where Joel live but ends up being attacked by the infected. Just before they gather Joel and tommy miraculously save her but unfortunately can't get back to town as the weather is bad so low and behold Abbey brings them back to her house where all her pals are and they kill him , then Ellie sees this and wants revenge so kills all Abbey's friends, then abbey wants revenge on Ellie finds her but does not kill her, ellie then wants revenge on Abbey again, I could break down all the plot holes and stuff but there is no point… Expand

The overall gameplay was fantastic. I do agree that the story in the first one is better, but I don't understand why people hate this game so much. The voice acting and animation fantastic.

    graphics and gameplay are great.
    new dodge skill, nice.
    But that does not justify taking a DLC and putting it as the main story, throwing the game in the trash, history in the trash.

    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.
