    You can't buy me.
    This game is a living statement that money doesn’t solve all problems. Graphics? Great.truly impressive. story? Trash. Character development? Trash. Character Relationship development? Trash. Gameplay? Straight out of 2013.
    And honestly.. all these game critics who gave this game 10/10, are shooting themselves in the foot

    Amazing game! Dark, gritty and very realistic. It sets a very high standard in gameplay, story and visuals. It stuck with me, I can't stop thinking and discussing and going over small details that blew me away. A complete masterpiece and a very worthy continuation of Ellie's story.

    Incredible game. The story was hard to accept but once you take the emotion out of it, it’s not hard to see the ambition of Naughty Dog’s gameplay decisions were an incredible risk that payed off.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic is blocking bad reviews for this game... Ive been trying to leave my HONEST review here which is a 3/10 but they won't allow it. So here it is, with a better number because I want people to read this... Naughty dog has fallen very low with this one! you can't silence people, we pay for your game and we deserve to have an opinion. What a disgusting company.

    Here's my original review 3/10
    I was truly hoping the leaks were not entirely true, and I was right, they were not even close. It turned out the game is WORST. Yes, the graphics are amazing... yes, the character modeling is breathtaking, the textures, scenarios, and the gameplay are great and fun.. if you dont care about the story then this game might be one of the best yet. But honestly, the last of us has ALWAYS been about the STORY and the CHARACTERS... how they grow together and share a caotic world. Not how they go around murdering each other and changing everything you came to love when playing the first part.

    What they did to them and the story itself is UNFORGIVEABLE.
    Also, most of the last trailers they showed were 100% misleading, showing Joel interacting with Ellie in several occasions, looking older as if it was happening at the time and it was all a LIE. All of the conversations they had were "memories" and "flashbacks". They actually went into the game after it was done and changed Joel's appearance for the trailers to make us believe it was new footage and cinematics of the game, and on the ACTUAL game is different, Joel is young and that is not happening in real time of the game. So dissapointing, you thought no one would notice? Why are you trying to fool your own FANS???

    If you plan to buy this game, wait a couple of months when people actually see it for what it is, and it goes to the ground and they sell it for $9.99. Don't waste $60!!!! and if possible, do not give your money to this disgusting company that only lies and cares about tricking fans into buying something is not even worth it, while striking down honest working youtubers for even mentioning the name of the game, just to try to avoid people from finding out what a bad game this was going to be.

    This is another "cool loking" 3rd person shooter game with a LAME story. nothing more.    … Expand

I've never cared so much about protagonists in a game before, the only other that comes some what close is Arthur Morgan is RDR2. Thank you, Naughty Dog for this masterpiece. Please continue to be bold and brave in your story telling. You have set the standard again. Please keep doing what you're doing!

    I can only assume people who have review bombed and left incredibly low rated reviews are A) XBox fanboys, B) Fans of other titles that they consider to be the greatest game of all time and do not want TLOU getting that kind of recognition again, C) a combination of both. Note, I'm saying the 'incredibly low ratings' - people can dislike and like different things and that is fine, but the 0's - 4's truly have some weird ulterior motive - if you are looking at reviews to help you decidee, then you can rightfully ignore them. I will say this as well about metacritic - how many of these reviews are verified? 4.5 stars currently on the PS store - those will be ratings from verified purchases.

    As for what may be genuine negative reviews... I've seen a few complaints about *spoiler* not enough Joel and Ellie time and the ending because it wasn't a happy fairytale story - I can't help but audibly lol the world the game is set in and even the real world is not some happy fairytale.

    As well as complaints about playing as Abby - I must admit, early on, I was really not happy about this, but after completing the game, I think this was brilliant from ND. The world is not black and white, Good and evil, there's different shades of grey. Joel was a bad person after Sarah - that much was made clear by Tommy in the 1st game, Tommy talks about having nightmares from their time together. There was a vaccine that would help heal the world. Joel, although most of us would do the same, if given an in game option to do so may I add, stopped that and saved Ellie! Whilst we love Ellie, it's the selfish and wrong thing to do. He killed innocent people. What we do in the game as Ellie is seek revenge, which is exactly what Abby and her crew did... but instead she let Tommy and Ellie live - Joel kills the surgeon, Abby's Dad and Marlene. The game does a brilliant job of not making that crew come across as just some generic evil bad guys, rather we see them as a part of a community much like Jackson... something else that I thought was good was the crew didn't even know Ellie was after them - they thought she was a Scar/seraphite as that's who they were in conflict with. Abby has some redemption with Yara and Lev and her and Lev's relationship felt some what similar to Joel and Ellie, thrown together through bad circumstances. Before Santa Monica I found myself wanting Ellie to stay at the Farmhouse, although I was happy to get more gameplay, because I knew she may end up alone, which is what she feared most. I think I know Joel would not want her to get revenge, but instead to live happily and peacefully with Dina and JJ.. Ellie however is suffering from PTSD. She cannot stop thinking about Joel.

    One thing I may have changed was perhaps maybe play as Abby more before seeing Joel killed, but at the same time, although the most obvious reason why, it was good to find out along the way.

    I've sadly also heard people are upset that Ellie is gay and Lev is a trans - to those people, grow up.    … Expand

    A história é sensacional, muito densa trazendo vários tópicos para a mesa, mas para aqueles que gostam de cirandinha e tem uma única perspectiva(a sua) não vai ser muito legal...

    The story is...something else. I didn't like the story here and there unconditionally, also the ending left me rather empty.

    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]
