    Such a great game, The only criticism that can be made in my opinion is about how bold the story is. I believe that Tha last of Us 2 is like wearing glasses, you’ll only know if you actually like it if you try it yourself. And mine fitted perfectly. Congrats to naughty dog

    2020 has been a **** year and Last Of Us Part 2 is one of the **** thing, next to Covid-19. Well, at least Covid didnt make players waiting for 7 years for some kind poor narration and out of place storyline. Neil **** is China. And ND's LOS Part 2 is the worst version of Covid 19.

    The ending was pretty crappy and the Abby gameplay was not for me but it was definitely an amazing game. The graphics and motion captures were phenomenal, highly recommended game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A complete let down! I finally finished completing this stupid, depressing and disappointing of a game and I regret pre ordering this game and buying it even on deluxe edition, the storyline is just garbage, your favorite character in this game dies by the same person you spend most of the time playing as her, Abby, I hated every second playing as that annoying character, the game tries so hard to have some sort of sympathy for her for killing Joel by letting us play as her for 12 hour+ or something, if I knew that I would be wasting a lot of my time playing as her I wouldn’t have bought the game. Also you can’t avenge his death even after all Ellie’s been through. Hell, the ending itself is even more disappointing than the whole plot. I rate this game 2/10 just because of the flashback moments during the playthrough.… Expand

    Good graphics are to be expected in most games, a good soundtrack can make or break a game, and this game has great music. The Story, and characters....a piece of steaming ****

    Un juego realmente lleno de emociones, que hacen empatizar por ambos lados, lograron mezclar la razón y al final dejar de lado el odio y la venganza, hasta del mismo jugador, sin duda muy buen gameplay, buena banda sonora,

    Worst game of the century. While the part 1 is a masterpiece this one is totally opposite to what the first one is. What are the developers thinking!!!! Pointless, useless story!!!

The characters are completely different from how they acted, and you'll only watch them suffer relentlessly before being forced to accept a new character that is written so poorly i barely could finish the last 8 hours of the game.

    Good gameplay, excellent graphics, beautiful design, awesome... but the story and how it is tell is a little bit disappointing, i wish i could play with other characters of the original story. Joel and Ellie will be forever loved in the video game industry.

    This is definitely a controversial game, but humans are flawed and in the view of the world has gone apocalyptic the other side of the story should be appreciated like in real life, not all good guys win and not all bad people lose, our world is not perfect like Joel, Ellie and Abby are not.

    Best game of 2020 no doubt. The ones who are giving it a negative are 1. The people who bought the game due to it looking popular among the gaming community as they knew nothing about the game. 2. They just hate single player campaigns and not a last of us fan.

    It's a 25-30 hours game + 10 hours of cut scenes. This game had some VERY intense game play and jump scares. But nothing beats the deep story and messages in it. I loved every minute of it. Any fan of brutal fun extreme violence will have a blast playing this. Definitely not meant for children or people with low IQ.

    The last of us part 2 is a stunning looking game. The gameplay is the same gameplay from the last game which is not a bad thing. The set pieces and the whole is fun to explore. The first 10-15 hours of the story is fantastic but when the game makes you play as Abby is when the game falls short.

    O jogo vem com alguns bugs, mas nada que atrapalhe a grande jornada que o jogo proporciona, algo incrível e mágico, porém trágico, faz o jogador ficar entre a cerca entre gostar de X ou Y, e com um final que deixa qualquer um de boca aberta, espetacular, ao nível Naughty Dog de trabalho.

    It feels as though Naughty Dog has let me down. I've been a fan of their work for years. But this game has a poor narrative, kills of beloved characters, and leaves you with an empty feeling inside. They sacrificed a great game story for cheap shock value and it has ruined this game. What a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed the game. There graphics were great and I for the most part enjoyed the characters. For the most part I can’t forgive Abby for killing Joel, but I could still get interested by her side of the story. Ellie’s was simply amazing, this story of revenge eventually overcome by the forgiveness she had begun to give Joel was a great way to wrap things up. And the epilogue was a sad, yet realistic way to wrap it up… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't often review games but in this case I needed to. When I played the first game I was very unimpressed until I reached Jackson midway through the game. I noticed the bond between Joel and Ellie and was bewildered by the attention to detail. No other zombie game really pays close attention to how an event like a zombie apocalypse can change a like-minded individual. Joel kills so many people before and during the events of the game it's ridiculous and it's all capped off by one of the best endings to any game. The Last of Us 2 is not as good as the first that's just not something it can be. It is however a very innovative game when it comes to the portrayal of enemies and the gore effects. It also nails the story I could really care less if you agree with me. Joel's death was an inevitability as one of the patrols his job is to kill all infected on his route and to identify and trade with other groups to keep Jackson thriving. When he and Tommy meet Abby they are forced to trust her and retreat to her camp because of the horde. As said earlier Joel killed a lot of people and it was only a matter of time before he crossed someone and when he did it wasn't going to be pretty. I say these things because common complaints are that Joel should have known better or he should've had a heroes death but there is no such thing in The Last of Us. Joel's death affected me probably the exact way it was supposed to. I've never been so onboard for revenge I remembered the people who did that to Joel and they were always looming I'd always hope I'd be running into them soon. Once I got to the Abby story line I was about as upset as everyone else I got to the chapter ground zero and took a break for a couple days and came back fresh. I finished Abby's storyline and as much as it's presence in the story is a blemish on the game the 2nd half is far better than the first half. What I would have done with the Abby story is make it an optional campaign upon finishing the game sort of like separate ways from resident evil 4. The end leaves something to be desired but I think it's fine. Please don't review bomb this game just play it if you feel like playing it and give it the score you would actually give it. Review bombers are a plague on the entire gaming community and makes it very difficult for some people to find a resource for whether they should buy a game or not and undermines everything the devs worked on (yes the ones who were on crunch to bring you the game as fast as possible). Before you say "0/10 is my score for the game" this game isn't a 0/10 not by a long shot games like Big Rigs, Ride to Hell or Rambo are games worthy of that score.

    Pros:
    *Combat
    *Graphics
    *Attention to detail
    *Enemy behavior and personality
    Cons:
    *Poor use of Abby's storyline
    *Poor ending    … Expand

With Of all this quarantine and covid 19 we really need something we feel good at and happy, but this a complete the opposite, you wont feel good with the story, the transgender stuff i dont care, it make more realistic, but if you kill the main character just like that doesnt justify it, give him death at least he dies for ellie, or cut his legs and give other character a try, something like that at least if you messed up, Joel is still alive you can do it right on last of us 3, and we didnt have the satisfaction to avenge joel at the end..

    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]
