    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um.... What? This game may be the WORST story I have ever played. I waited like 5 years to play this and it wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Joel died in a dishonorable way less than 2 hours in. Then the rest of the story we get annoying characters that I had no sympathy for. Jessie was one of my favorite original characters and he also died in a dishonorable way. This whole story was just kind of a let down. Abbys part took WAY too long and I didn’t even care about it AT ALL. The graphics gameplay and music were the only decent part about this game. In the trailers I thought the game would be about ellie and joel but they weren’t. It was some crappy revenge story and we didn’t even get revenge in the end? What? Big let down. If there’s a last of us 3 it better not be like the last of us 2. I had faith this would be good.… Expand

    Great game. Everyone’s being over dramatic, for what it is it’s a good game and I enjoyed it.

Overall I loved this game ! It’s very thought provoking by the end and I’ve seen a lot of different takes That I didn’t think of that make the game even better for me long after I finished the game. If you’re open to letting a game take you on an emotional roller coaster with great sound, beautiful music, breathtaking graphics and an interesting story, then I recommend you try “the last of us part II” it’s worth the experience alone.… Expand

    Phenomenal... Daring... A joy to dive back into this world and figure it all out.

    The twist to play as both characters bugged me at first but quite rightly i then became to like Abbey and realise the parallels and intertwined life they both had. Well done Naughty Dog... well done

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics Look Next gen.Sound effects sounded true and brutal.Gustavo songs far and few.my favorite songs came from all of ellies guitar playing,the song that joel plays for her in the beginning of the game.ND has found a great way of using the swipe bar on the PS4 controller allowing you to play guitar.The combat the same as the first game and is frustrating at times.the melee system is kinda clunky,the shooting is very slow and inaccurate.If anything i feel the prone button came in way more useful then the jump and they should have hyped that up more because it was extremely useful and long overdue feature that was finally added.The dogs was a very bad choice in my opinion.Now the story.The first half playing as ellie was more or less fine.The joel death scene in particular should have been done a different way if he wanted to do that story.First off joel and tommy save abby and within 5min of gametime i think it was shes blowing his leg off and playing golf on his head.That specific part felt rushed, and not fleshed out.It was also out of character for tommy and joel to just reveal their base along with their names .The flashbacks in my eyes stole the show and really hit an emotional beat.My issue with this is they were far and few between.The first one in particular was sweet and a feel good sad moment for the player.So for ellies side of the game neil wanted to convey that she wants revenge for joel but it becomes pretty clear that is not the only thing that is bugging her.Throughout the flashbacks you find out that she is beyond upset with joel and finds out he lied about the hospital incident.So all the time your playing as ellie you slowly see her get worst and worst descending into darkness.They honestly could have just done ellies side up until she hunted down abby and exacted revenge. I felt the game did not need much of abbys side story at all.You could have just told her story via cutscenes throughout ellies trip to finding ellie.I did not enjoy playing as abby at all once i was forced too.As i got more into the cult part with lev i did take a tiny bit of interest but nothing huge.To me abbys section of the game felt almost like another game entirely.You find out that lucy(lev) was actually the trans player people were referring too.I dont think there was an agenda here.Lev becoming trans fit into the story of the seraphites not accepting him and hunting him down.So i dont feel that trans was forced into the game.i feel like ellies relationship felt true and honest,my only complaint is that ND chose to focus on fleshing out an unlikable character abby instead of a likeable character dina.I think the story would have been alot better exploring ellies and dinas relationship further as ellie slowly loses her mind to hate.Most of the charachters on abbys side i hated.Owen had good character ark and is the only one outside of yara and lev that i actually felt somewhat invested in.Now the ending parts of the game.You are forced to fight ellie as abby after she just killed jesse and what appeared to be a gunshot to tommys head.Trying to recreate that father/daughter relationship joel had just annoyed me and made me dislike abby more.no fault to laura bailey did a very good job and trying to make abby relatable and have empathy for.Then they show ellie back on the farm with dina.Tommy gives ellie all this info and wants her to finish abby.She doesnt think she can and tommy just starts hating on her because of it saying stuff way out of line.Whether its grief that he had or brain damage thats causing him to act like that it defintely does not feel true.the ending scene with abby and ellie fighting it out.The scene it self was well done.Sadly it ends with ellies 2 fingers getting bitten off and then letting abby just leave.This felt unsatisfied and pretty much made me question why this game was made even in the first place. If he was going to do that then he needed to spend more time emphasizing ellies departure into the darkness and how she just cant let the hate go instead of a side story about abby's fight with the seraphites.The ending scene when she arrives back to dina and the house is empty was pretty sad and did a good job emotionally but there was so much more room to emphasize with ellie they could have done to really bring a tear to your eye.I only got teary eyed during the final scene with joel and ellie talking about she just cant forgive him.This scene needed more because it was on the verge of being really emotional but its like the writers just decided to hold back.just an ok game and makes me sad that they chose to flesh out abby rather then focus on the true stars of the game joel and ellie.The game would have benefited more from flashbacks showing more of the anger she slowly kept getting towards joel finally leading up to an emotional ending scene where she finally tries to forgive him.Hell it would have been even better to have tommy give ellie a final letter from joel. An OK game… Expand

Un gameplay molto aggressivo e violento che ti lasciano a bocca aperta con dei movimenti fluidi e scontri con i nemici molto realistici.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd just like to say as a start im not sure why everyone hates this game. Maybe by those who got spoiled it was hard to see character decisions being made when they were made. Maybe there's another agenda that they find offensive for no reason. But all that aside I thought this was a great game the story was done well characters were well written and most of all it was well executed i think playing the game and experiencing the story without it being spoiled made it a lot easier to see the events unfold I feel as if you were to have told me prior i would be confused and not understand why this happened and get upset with this plot. By seeing the story payout the way it did amazed me and tugged on my heart in all different ways. Playing this game made me appreciate the relationship between Joel and ellie that much more and the new character Abby was amazing, she showed me that behind every death theres someone who cared for them and what lengths some people will go through to make others suffer like she did and in the end regret it. Seeing ellie get over his death in the end and not killing abby was the most adult thing she could do and probably took everything in her to not finish the job. One last thing I want to mention is the guitar in this game, in the beginning you start as joel and you hand the guitar to ellie then you play as her in the end ellie sets that guitar down and the screen no longer focuses on her. The story is over and it was an excellent job I cant wait to see what Naughtydog does next!… Expand

    This game is goated. if you like the first one, you’ll love this one. The story is just as emotionally involved as the first. The combat and gameplay is smoother. The graphics in this game are best in class. Overall a 10/10 experience. Recommend playing on survivor if you want to feel rewarded for your efforts.

    I can only talk about this game in superlatives. There is no word, that how grateful I'm for the Naughty Dog to put this incredible effort to create even the tiniest details and drop my jaw everytime when I play this unbelievable adventure. This game is worth even way more money than It costs. Thanks again for this great experience!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I see many people give very low points and I honestly do not understand why. Lets say you do not like how the story is going you still have to at least give 5 out of 10 points for the super graphics, the super intense situations and the all and all awesome game play.
    I do not understand the hate on the Story for me the story starts as a clear case of Abby being the bad Guy by killing Joel and Ellie by being to good one for avenging his cruel and gruesome Death. But when you start playing as Abby and even before you see that the World is not only Black and White and that both of them have reasonable points for their Actions leading to me being a little bit annoyed by the way Ellie acts at the end.
    The only point where I can think of criticism is needed is the end. For me the perfect ending would have been with Ellie, JJ and Dina on the Farm trying to help Ellie get out of her Pt-sd. I personally think that the part in Santa Barbara is a little bit stretched and long but still comes up with a very good Cut scene leading to see Ellie trying to forgive Abby just like the way She tried to forgive Joel.    … Expand

    Bad ratings are only from people who can’t enjoy a game that it’s not going how they want it to go.
    It’s all perfect, gameplay, graphic, storyline...I don’t know I feel like I’ve dreamed about this story for how it looked and felt realistic to play it.

    I honestly cannot see where all the hate is coming from for this game. Do yourself a favour and play this game, you will not be disappointed. The graphics and game play are amazing, the story line is fantastic. Just because I don't like one aspect of that story line, I'm not going to hate the whole story.

    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]
