    This game has the story of a blues clues episode, I can't believe Neil Druckmann would try to create this sequel in large part by pushing his own political agenda.

    If you like the first you like the Second! Simple as that. If you didn't like that one you won't like this one.

    Not as good as the first one, but still a FANTASTIC game. Had trouble putting it down because it was so engaging. Took me about 19 hours to finish and I loved almost every moment of it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Opinion about this game is very controversial. In fact, she is excellent. It can be seen that people really tried to make the game perfect, they love this game, in 25 hours I had 1 bug. She is infinitely beautiful. But the plot.
    Joel’s death is very controversial, because the game is about the connection of two heroes, about how they pass through the world of apocalypse. And at first I thought that Joel was replaced by Dina, but she is not the main character, unlike Abby. Here the situation is directly heating up, because even with Abby's unbelievably cool background, she should not be the one for whom we should beat Ellie. At this moment, I was simply waiting for an end without emotion, which was drawn out indefinitely. Unnecessary storyline with Leo and Yara. People were waiting for a game about Joel and Ellie, and not about soldiers and freaks. When Abby came to Ellie, I thought it was the end of the game. But the game did not end very long. Just a lack of understanding of the reason why I saw what was happening was throughout the rest of the gameplay. But even if you do not focus on the storyline of Abby (he is not bad, but the game is not about that), then beating Ally is the peak of trash. Then stupid mercy. Then already a nasty family life, after that everything. AND THIS IS NOT THE END. You go to kill Abby, and you **** do it so stupidly, and most importantly not to the end, this release, this useless fight, it was so unpleasant to look at all this.
    It is very difficult to describe in text the opinion of such a game when you have infinite love for the heroes of this game, its plot, which even in the second part was sometimes amazing, is not rare. But how the game led to the ending, and what it was, cannot be perceived .
    And I, of course, understand that non-traditional orientation is not critical. Yes, even game characters can have this kind of problem. But LGBT propaganda is not the most pleasant thing for the community.
    My rating is 4, because it is really a great game, and although terrible, but the absolute end of the game for most. And an objective assessment, better than a meaningless hat, for those who have made an unlimited contribution to its creation.    … Expand

    This game, what to I have to say? It's one of the best and most exciting experiences in my life. I never ever played a game like this and felt this feeling about a game. When Joel dies, you think that the game is destroyed, it's not worth playing anymore. But, trust me, you I'll get one of the best experience of your life. The Last Of Us Part 2 shows us that revenge is a fool's game. The Last Of Us Part 2 teaches us that there isn't a good guy or a bad guy, there are people, trying to survive and make the life worthy. If you ask me about the Gameplay, Music, Scenarios, Characters and all that stuff, you will get from me a ton of 10/10, the gameplay is like the first game, with some good improvements. The music by Gustavo Santaolalla is perfect and fits perfectly with the style of the game. Characters may not see quite "good" at first look, but, as the story is been told, you start to love and understand them. The graphics are astonishing, and probably the beautiful graphic of the generation. But, what really catches you is the story. At first you don't understand why to play with Abby, and you become very mad to play with Joel's murderer, but as the game continues, you start to see that Abby is like Joel, a person who is strong, and very mad with everything, and when Lev is introduced, Abby starts to change and become as Joel were in the ending of The Last Of Us. I cried so much when Ellie was trying to play Future Days without her fingers, and when Joel was trying to apologize with her and her was trying to sorry him. It's a very Must-Play game, and I'm sure to say that it I'll be the GOTY 2020. Play The Last Of Us Part 2 now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's the problem: People are upset that Joel died, he's a great character, and very lovable, and all the little touches down to the book on his bedside table make his death hurt even more. But the reality is honestly, he had it coming, he made way too many enemies to not die, and honestly when it comes down to it he made a selfish choice at the end of the first game and paid the price within the first four hours of the second. If it wasn't Abby it would be someone else sometime soon that kills him. As for the rest of the story, ya a lot of the stuff that happens sucks, but they beautifully manage to take a person who brutally murders your favorite character and make her rather human, even likable at times, it's a brilliant example of no good or bad characters, only humans, and if everyone would stop review bombing and just play the game I think the reviews would be a lot better.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent a good amount of time and effort avoiding spoilers, I figured it was all being blown out of proportion and there was no way a game as good as TLOU would get a sequel that was anywhere near as bad as everyone was claiming. I was warned by more than one friend not to spend the money but I did and now I understand the hate. I went into it knowing that Joel doesn't survive and I kinda understood that decision, he was getting older and honestly he wouldn't be capable of the level of fighting and action it would take to survive the hostile landscape they exist in. I expected him to go out in a cliche but respectful way, saving Ellie or Tommy (his only family) but the choice they made here just pisses in the face of all the emotion and connection players developed over the course of the first game. I assume a lot of people did what I did and replayed the first game recently to refresh all the info, so these emotions were in full force. The fact that NaughtyDog was willing to treat his character with that level of hate and disregard shows how little they care about anything other than making money by pushing whatever agenda is hot.

    There are so many other ways they could have told this same story that would have been amazing, instead they chose a way that has established characters doing things that go completely opposite of their personalities and instead of figuring out a way to make us feel some sort of compassion for Abby you take the easy way out and force us to play as her for 10 hours and just hope we care enough at the end to overlook the insane choice Ellie makes by not killing Abby because woman beating in man's head with golf club, good but woman killing woman who took almost everything she cared about, including her fingers, bad.

    The game has positives, when I first started it I was blown away by the visuals, they're breathtaking. The game play is good and everything seemed polished with none of the glitches or issues that seem to be present in most AAA titles lately. The only problem is the story and there is nothing that can save a story this bad.    … Expand

    tbh they could have made a The Last Of Us remastered remastered, because this game doesn't do it for me. If naughty dog only applied those new graphics to the old game other people would have a better time playing it again.

    The narrative is gripping, some really powerful moments, and a game I couldn’t put down even though it was really hard to play because it’s so gruesome.

    I wish I could make it a 9.5, it’s not perfect, but it’s really really superb. Play it with an open mind and you’ll be rewarded.

    Totally disappointed. This sequel is ruined by SJW. The TLOU 2 story and character development make 0 sense and are only working for political correctness purpose. If you are a fun of last game, don't buy TLOU2 and show your attitude.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A HUGE LETDOWN! Everything is good except the writing, The Last of Us 2's Writing is absolutely **** here's why I think that:

    - The Story -
    In a nutshell.. The Entire Story is "ReVEnGe iS BaD". That's the theme.. "ReVegne SUper BaD" The same **** thing beatin unto you constantly throughout the story. It got tiresome & boring quickly. It's a generic cliche story told million times before, it feels so lazy specifically compared to the first game which was so unique and masterful in it's themes & storytelling. It's really disappointing.. - The Characters -
    So Many Characters in this game are introduced then Forgotten completely. Most of them lack depth and development because you barely even see most of them. they feel so bland. - Jesse impregnates Dina, then fights with Ellie a bit then dies suddenly, and then he's completely forgotten as if he never existed.
    - Dina has no real character to her, she just makes jokes sometimes & she's the main love interest for Ellie.. That's all. Barely any reason to care about her

    - Manny.. Literally all he does is that he spits on Joel's body & says pendejo a lot.. He dies in front of Abby then completely forgotten. - Abby's character was handled horribly.. Joel kills Abby's Father to *Save* Ellie, because she's like his daughter & the surgery is not even guaranteed to work, so Ellie might of died for nothing, Abby tortures then kills Joel out of *Vengeance* literally minutes after he saved her life without any hesitation, and the writers expect me to care for Abby?? I think Conceptually, the idea of making the player control the villain is great, but the execution was absolutely terrible. Showing flashbacks of her 9 HOURS after she killed Joel, forcing you to play as her for 10 HOURS.. Totally disastrous attempt to make us "care" for her.. She could of been a really great character but they managed to effed up the execution sadly.. - Ellie suddenly becomes an insufferable brat and completely changed from the first game without any real believable development to her character

    - Joel barely appears and dies in the first 2 hours out of nowhere in the most pathetic way possible. His character was really dumbed-down. He survived in a zombie apocalypse for 25 YEARS and knows not trust anyone, but they made him stupid enough to share his name to total strangers. Completely out of character. This is the same with Tommy

    - There's this pregnant women who looks like she's about to give birth, stupidly.. she fights in the front lines?! Literally with Guns.. How are we supposed to care about characters like these when it feels like the writers themselves don't care about them.

    - The Ending -
    Ellie mercilessly kills HUNDREDS of people without hesitation throughout the Game, she left her home to kill Abby after she let her go Twice, she was determined to kill her, After gunning through countless of soldiers to get to her. She starts fighting her with a knife..?? Then Using her Fists?? SHE HAD GUNS, WHY DIDN'T SHE SHOOT HER?? Feels like the writers wanted Ellie to lose her fingers at the end but couldn't figure out a competent way to do it..

    The Ending is just so unsatisfying.. Ellie literally ABANDONS HER LOVER & CHILD TO KILL ABBY but she let her ago? After ALL THE TROUBLE she went through, she decides to change her mind when there's literally only the character you're SUPPOSED to kill left..

    One of the most underwhelming endings to a story i have ever seen.    … 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.

    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]
