    I want to be really honest, I liked the graphics (even though they were not a big deal), the same gameplay. But the story, the characters, the line, the ideological propaganda (lgbt lobby) was absolute trash, as it was progressed in the game, it became more and more empty and incongruous, with characters that became simply insupportable, this sequel has nothing to do with the first game,I want to be really honest, I liked the graphics (even though they were not a big deal), the same gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us 2, where to begin?
    Pro:
    The game itself looks nice, really nice
    The voice acting is good, and the facial works are also pretty good.
    Menu and settings are petty nice, is very much need with the difficult setting

    Cons:
    AI is damn awful, to the point, there are games from 2012 would be superior.
    The Story is really weak compared to the first game and other AAA, it feels like the story group forgot about storytelling and a lot of plotholes.
    Controls are still pretty bad, the jump button is 95% useless, and was far to hyped up.
    Puzzles are not there really.
    Awkward sex screen
    The biggest problem I have is centered on the character Abby, not the fact that she kills Joel, but that could have been done better, but more you have to play as her. and that Ellie saves her "twice" To were most people would have killed her. It feels soulless, and Really wished I had refunded the game back when the leaks came out.    … Expand

Naughty dog has created another masterpiece. After 3 day of beating the game, my mind has not changed, despite all the hate for this game I can’t stop to think that somehow we don’t deserve this game, Neil Druckmann Gave us a masterpiece of a game and people are trashing it away just because they can’t accept the story of the game. Video games, movies, shows, books, they all have us used to think that we are invisible, and when someone shows us something different. Something more realistic, people go crazy, because they don’t understand the fact that we are only human.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 24 hours I finally completed the game and I must say it's just as good if not better than the first game. My only complaints is that maybe you play as Abby for a little too long and gameplay got monotonous, specially on day 2. I understand that some people dislike the choices the writers made but I think they pulled it off in a way I didn't expect, I even played the game having read a lot of spoilers but that didn't take anything away from me because I believe you really have to experience this game and play it for yourself till the end to understand the choices the characters made.

    I see some people say that they don't like the game because they don't like abby, but in my opinion the game doesn't really try to make you like her, they make you see that her motives are just as valid as Ellie's for doing what she did and puts thing in a different perspective, and to be honest Abby has some of the most intense and fun parts of the game.

    My only issues with the story are Abby's motivations to save Lev and his sister and MAYBE some issues with it's structure, it may have been better to mix up playing as Abby and Ellie a little more but, I get why they didn't do that but still. When seeing Abby's side of the story I really liked all the new characters they introduced and they all felt so fleshed out, specially Owen, I even felt terrible because I already knew what Ellie did to them (this is why I think the game is structured how it is).

    Not to mention gameplay was fun and devastating as **** it's the best looking game ever, the soundtrack is so beautiful and push the important moments of the story and the environments have so much detail and love put into them.

    My expectations with this game were as high as they come and it met them. I do feel really sad for how divided the fan base will be now and I really wished everyone enjoyed this game as much as I did, but come on people, it's not even close to a 0.    … Expand

    I was a big fan of the Last of us 1 in 2013 and was completely disappointed when I started to play this game. Why did you pay so much attention to Ellie's gayness? You could have just mentioned that she's a lesbian, but you've decided to repeat it again ang again, again and again. Look she's a lesbian! *after 1 hour* Look she's a lesbian, she's kissing a girl! *after another hour* I hopeI was a big fan of the Last of us 1 in 2013 and was completely disappointed when I started to play this game.

    This game is incredible on many many aspects. The gameplay feels so, so good. Every weapon is very satisfying to use thanks to the sound effects and the gore. The ability to dodge is a good addition. The sneaking works very well with the added ability to crawl and different ways of going through the environment. The puzzle phases are so much better than in the first game and more diverse with the ropes, the jumps, all the windows you can go through. The maps are much more open (at least during the first half of the game) with a lot of things you can easily miss if you go in a straight line (pretty much every weapon and upgrades can be missed). The ambient music works really well to raise the tension. The facial animations combined with the acting make every character look so real, you can read everything on their faces. The accessiblity options also are unrivaled. To sum it up, everything is really, really good and if you liked the first game I don't see how you can dislike this one based on everything I just mentioned.

    Now, for the controversial aspect, the story. It is incredible. However, the game does not go easy on you. At all. Prepare to be upset several times. That said, the hard parts are there for a reason and not for shock value. They make sense. And they make more and more sense the further you go in the story, and take into account every character's motivations. The story in itself is simple but emotionally complicated, a lot more than the first game's that is very straightforward. If you haven't read any spoiler, the better because ouf of context any story can look bad, hell the first game's story can hold on a post-it note. Around mid-game, something happens. If you can get over it and just enjoy the ride, you will love this game. The second half of the game probably is my favorite part because of the weapons you have and the environments you go through as well as the dialogs.

    I am sorry to say it, but I think that a lof of hateful reviews are left by people that are either not emotionally mature (the game is supposed to be 18+ remember ?) ,or mad that this game's story is not what they wanted, or they just decided that they hated the game before they even played it. So, go for it, make you own opinion and I think that you'll see that the game is incredible. Probably my GOTY.    … Expand

    While this game isn't a 0 out of 10, it certainly isn't a 10 out of 10. The Graphics and gameplay are decent, but the storytelling is absolutely horrendous. That's just my opinion though, I would advise you do your own research to decide whether or not to purchase this game or to invest in something that will be more value for your money.

    I was very well entertained. Sure, the story isn't everybody's cup of tea, but if every producer would just do fan service we would have a lot of predictable stories with happy endings.
    The gameplay is as usual very good (at least better than e.g. in RDR2) and for me the journey was exciting and varied.

    If you liked the first part and can live with it if the story doesn't continue according to your own ideas, I can give you a clear recommendation.

    By the way, I have never understood how you can play through a game with more than 25 hours duration (somehow it must be fun) and then give 0 points.

The story may not be true to some people, or just the story is not the same. If to compare easily Award-winning movie Most of them may not be pleasing to the viewers but understand. I want them to end like this. It is similar to many movies as well. For example, the director of Jung Bong Junho, the end may not be as we had hoped. LaLaLand, Her. What is the delay? So it's not fun for everyone. Story >> As for GamePay, level up The thing that the game system itself used to be either uncharted or TLOU, the first part of Naughty Dog, which in the past was already cool. >> As for the beautiful graphic, it is flawless and beautiful. The ps4 jet is pretty, cute, and the Sound is very good. I especially like the guitar sound. And the music was very good. Of course, the Oscar-winning composer remembered the name >> Jessup made very well Would like a big game, Sony made Thai support every game… Expand

    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.
