    I really enjoy this game.Visual and gameplay, all on top level.Plot very rude to player and his feelings, but if you can accept all that happens and just flow on story line, its pretty good story.

    We truly only get narrative games like these once every few years. Naughty dog (some how) does it again.

    Terrible story and abysmal writing.

    So as a linear, story driven game, it fails on the most important points...
    It's a shame because the overall game mechanics are great, and there is a good attention to detail.

    It's sad to see all the 10/10 reviews. Since when does your gender or sexuality make you an interesting character.
    It is simply inclusion for the sake of inclusion.

Technically brilliant in every way, but how Abby was treated with such meaningless violence, spearing Ellies life TWICE, is something I never can erase from memory. It felt so wrong cutting up Abby in the end, that I will never forgive Naughty Dog for this.… Expand

    This gets a 1 because the graphics are good and some of the music fits certain moments. That is the only thing I can praise about this game.

That is the only thing I can praise about this game. There are times where items that the characters bring directly into their face and up to the camera take a minute to pop in the correct textures so even the graphics are hindered in ways. The music has some very bland tracks and completely feels out of touch at moments where they think the audience should be feeling one way, but almost no one is. Apart from those obviously OK things this game is incredibly bad and poorly directed. The characters act nothing like you would expect them to or what they acted like previously. All the somewhat interesting or likable characters are thrown out of the narrative and everyone else left is unappealing at best, including the two protagonists. They make decisions that even a child would know is a bad one and then reverse that when the writers deem it convenient for a "message". A message should not exist at the expense of strong, reliable characterization and a cohesive, interesting plot. Everyone I have heard from or seen play this game has found the story confusing (due to random flashbacks within flashbacks seemingly placed in particular spots for no reason), uninteresting (to the point of not wanting to continue, changing difficulties to get through it faster, etc.), and has relayed that they felt completely disappointed in every single plot thread that was shown any serious screen time. The gameplay is better than the first but no one was praising the first for it's generic gameplay either. It feels average at best here, being just another, of the hundred or so, third-person, narrative focused Sony exclusives. If everything but the graphics and music is mediocre or worse why is this even a game? Just make a slideshow presentation with stock music in the background, at least that wouldn't have disappointed so many people and made even more lose faith in Naughty Dog as a competent developer.

    Overall:
    Graphics - 8/10
    Music - 5/10
    Gameplay - 4/10
    Characters - 0/10
    Story - 0/10

    If a developer made a really good looking model of a pile of **** with generic music playing in the background then asked me to play it for 25 hours and wanted my thoughts on their "game" I would give it a 0/10 but these devs actually thought their pile of **** was special and seriously worked on it thinking it was special and had a message, so for that I can boost it up a point. I'm feeling generous, but the vast majority of people who finish this game won't be as kind, and they shouldn't need to be. Stop deleting negative reviews and stopping others from being posted. If you're going to double check random low scores you should be doing the same with random high scores, but seeing the lack of moral fiber from previous instances involving this site, and reviewers in general, I doubt that will happen. Don't buy this game.    … Expand

Plus, it's impossible to suspend your disbelief in so many respects. It was said that the game shows you how bad the circle of revenge is BUT the character that GETS their revenge goes away unharmed. The other person who gives up on revenge, loses everyhing. What's the message behind it? Is this the message ND wanted us to get?    … Expand

    Well imma not get into too much detail since many people have already. But I was ultimately just disappointed in this game. I don't get hyped for games much anymore, but I was looking forward to this game. Unfortunately I was let down with the the execution of the story and lack of innovation to this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't a Last of us game I wud give it an 8/10. But because it is a last of us, game it is not enjoyable to play. The game was about Abby, a Carakter i hated because she killed MC.
    We as Player, as Joel, have judged all of humankind to die under Zombies just so we can be happy with Ellie, why shut we start caring for our Enemies?
    The Carakte felt no loger the same. Joel was easely exekutet and Ellie no longef feld the same.
    Abby rund the game 10h of something i don't care about.
    Cons:
    1. in my eyes the trailer implied that Ellie's girlfriend will be killed and Jole and Ellie go to avenge here. I bought the game expecting Joel to die in the end ore give him a minigfull end, the chance to lay our live down for Ellie maybe.
    2. The start is good, i don't remember to mutch. What I do remember is that I hade a bead feeling withe Abby. From the first time, the saw the City that sadly never left. Even thou it was spouse to change in the 10 + hours game time. with only 3 likable side Characters, the Mel, Leve, Yara, whas it way to long and dragt out i skipt nearly all the cut scenes because i was so bord and wanted beck to the real story of ellie not knowing that Abby wut last 10h. (i realy dilikte playing as Abby whitch let to disinterest in the story).
    3. Joels death made me feel empty no faith no noting just butchered in front of Ellie. It felt random and lackluster, there was no will for vengeance, just disepeutment.
    4. Instead of Joel we go out whit Dina where we get some sweet romantic interactions, who in my eyes wher dullt, because Joel was supposed to go whit Ellie.
    5. The on of romance with Dina and Jesse was to mutch, it made me question (like Joel) the intentions of Dina and if they were genuine.
    6. Playing Abby against Ellie was *****, It felt forced and as Player you felt as if you were Playing out a bad dream. You only Play in hopes it will come to a and where you whin (Ellie wins) but that never happens. I have trite to Kill Abby but nothing changes.
    7. Tommy gets to live an Joel is dead.... Make Joel appear and then go to kill Abby then 8/10 game.
    8 The ending feels disgusting, the last of us made you feel something. 2 it is just sadness ore noting. Molstly confugen or noting the hole game trou. The end wher you just fell sad and emty is not a Game i what to play

    Cons: Gameplay
    1 Ellies face looks so goofy in the flashbacks just jus the old model.
    2 I miss breaking looks, save feels repetitive mix it up with both.
    3 i bow felt not as good as in the first game
    4 Whapans where not rewording and ammo where to scars at the end. Rushing the Hospital as Joel with an MP was fun. As Ellie, there was no ammo even thou you got an Mp what was in the fits game the sine to go hame on people. Felt to slow ant to repetitive. To many carts, they felt spammy.
    5. boss fits felt sometimes random and the big Zombies was not intuitive. I failt a lot bevor i randomly hotshotet on hade on the Zomby 2 sek after a new try it felt not rewording.
    6. Movment felt wörs then lat game
    7. Boss Zomby was to dark no way to mover felt frustrating and luck. The last of us 1 Sports hall was brigt and easier to understand.

    Musik!!!!! Wher ist he clasik Musik i mist that so much. The world felt boring and empty i never noticed the Musik.

    Pros: Story
    - Ellie being gay is modern and felt to me not forst.
    - Jackson was nice shut have ben just more.
    -
    Pro gameplay:
    - Exploring was ok, was not too motivated because I hate more interest in the story
    - Crossbow was cool
    - Wappen crafting lookt good not to satisfying.
    - environment hat a lot of detail and the rooms tell a story of the owner
    - bots where nice
    - horses to

    The Game wut be good if it was a stand alown. The carakters where new you did not care much about them and the story was presented in a way where you where mate to hate the character and afterwords supposed to like em because of 10h of gameplay.
    No revenge no Ending not to goot. Felt empty

    Call it "Evel and Lesser" and make it a separate game 8/10 maybe if you have not playd 7 years of Joel and Ellie.    … Expand

    For Neil Druckmann to teach you a lesson about revenge is more important than a well-written and coherent plot!

    All this hard work that developers put into stunning animations, graphics, sound and fluid gameplay mechanics is completely ruined by an awful story

    Oh and by the way, all of a sudden Ellie is a psychopathic maniac just to push this stupid narrative

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acabé el juego el domingo 21 de junio después de un par de días creo que puedo dar una opinión al respecto. El juego sinceramente es sobresaliente, la jugabilidad aunque al principio del juego pueda parecer aburrido, el juego va de poco a mas, gráficamente una bestia. Pero porque le doy un 5 raspado? Porque sinceramente no es un juego de suspenso, pero después de unos días de razonar el final del juego me a defraudado muchísimo. Y no me refiero a la muerte de Joel, al contrario la muerte de Joel me parece lo mejor de la trama para captar la atención del jugador. Ese momento en el que matan a tu protagonista no lo había sentido desde la muerte de Ned Stark o Robb Stark en Juego de tronos. Pero me refiero a la conclusión de la historia, Ellie lo pierde todo, desde Dina que la abandona hasta los dedos de la mano por lo cual no podrá volver a tocar la guitarra, el instrumento que le enseño a tocar Joel. Y fuera aparte de todo esto, cuando te pasas el juego cambia el fondo del menú de inicio, dando a pensar que Abby llegó a la isla de Santa Catalina. ¿De verdad me estáis contando que si hubiese una PARTE 3 el personaje principal podría darse el caso que fuese Abby? No me jodáis. Nada mas pasarme el juego reconozco que me pareció el final buenísimo, pero días después de razonarlo bien, sinceramente una decepción.… 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.
