    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am rating this game a 3 for the (1) acting, which is admittedly seller, (2) the graphics and audio which is second to none, the (3) effort that clearly went into creating the world of this game. Unfortunately, the compliments stop there. While the actual acting and some of the dialogue is good, the writing is absolutely atrocious. If you hated The Last Jedi and season 8 of Game Of Thrones, then you'll hate this game. The inane choice of killing off one of the main characters in the first 2 hours of this game is already ridiculous, but the incredibly disrespectful way this game treats that character is horrible. After that, I had no motivation whatsoever to keep playing, and this isn't even bringing up the later sex scene that is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever seen in my life. One last thing to mention is that the gameplay and controls have barely changed or improved from the first game, from 2013. Bottom line, don't buy this game if you cared at all about the first game, but maybe if you don't care about story and characters and only care about impressive graphics then this might do it for you. But frankly, this game is so overly long and frequently boring, even the graphics probably won't do it for you.… Expand

    I'm very excited with graphics, gameplay and detalisation, but I don't like so much storyline, but I know that this is a cool story about people's relationships. This game isn't recommended for kids, but for teens or adults, it's a good choice, which contains blood, mature speech and some crime scenes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the game. Like the first game, this game start with drama, and I cried
    I liked the halfopen world too.
    To those who are saying to the creators to get out the politics of TLOU, I want to say you only allow politics when you don't feel attacked or when the protagonist is a woman that you can consume with fanservice, like Tifa in FFVII.
    Ellie was seen kissing her best friend. It was the way the creators said she was a lesbian. If you can vote without hate, the better
    Other games, like fallout arr about politics, always ending with a clash of powers between differents factions. But you don't feel digusted because of that. Try the game and look at it. With other eyes. Woman are no products of fan service, for god's sale she's a grown wlman in the apocalypse world, you can't expect Ellie with make up and extra big boobs. You won't regret looking at it without homophobia and without misogyny    … Expand

    Es un juego impresionante con una historia que te atrapa desde el primer minuto, las mecanicas y los graficos de los mejores que he visto nunca haciendo de los encuentros con los enemigos muy tensos y emocionantes. Obra maestra al 100%

    Meh. Long ago I’ve wished for the sequel, sometimes I wished it was a movie instead. Then I realize, Gordon Ramsay’s better than this.

    I loved the last of us mostly for the story, this sequel ruined It. Im so sad...almost nothing changed in game mechanics, the only new thing is in the graphic, thats very beautyful,but in my opinion what made great tlou1 was the great story, for me this is just one of the many bad sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are amazing, acting is good, but the story damn, complete utter garbage. The way Joel died is genuinely retarded, he is a smart character and was made into a dumbass who doesn’t know anything about trusting people in an apocalypse. AND THE FACT THAT YOU PLAY AS HIS KILLER AGAINST AND FIGHTING ELLIE is borderline retarded. The ending is so unsatisfying, as in dumb. You kill a lot of innocent people to find Abby and then you let her go. Don’t let payed reviews fool you, watch it on YouTube if you really want to know because they **** is up so bad it’s not even funny.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't normally write my opinion down, but this game ruined one of my favourite franchises.
    How on earth can you kill a character you made us spend a whole game to bond with, then do that. This game was built from the relationship of Ellie and Joel created. What's worse is then to rub salt in the wound make you make us play as the person who did it for a large portion of the game!!!! I mean you let her live!This has killed my my love for the last of us and hope it gets any more bad reviews. The gameplay is is what I expected with nothing overly new added, but the story ruined within two hours was enough for me. Also Dina and jesse blow chunks and are dull.    … Expand

    Graphically and in terms of mechanics is a brilliant game. It delivers an astonishing experience through its environment. The story start in a depressing way which might make you want to drop your controller. But ones you keep playing the game , the story starts to build up in such an amazing way. The environment with the story serves you well.

    The story takes you into a complex journey    Graphically and in terms of mechanics is a brilliant game. It delivers an astonishing experience through its environment. The story start in a depressing way which might make you want to drop your controller. But ones you keep playing the game , the story starts to build up in such an amazing way. The environment with the story serves you well.

    The story takes you into a complex journey and emotional ride which will make you ask moral question whether something is good and bad. The story goes back and forth, showing you the unseen relationship between ellie and joel and the relationship between abby and her father; putting you on both perspective. The perspective of abby makes you see through her pain and why she took that revengeful path. This story gives you answer you didn't receive in the first one. Like did Ellie believe in Joel, did Joel regret doing what he did and so much more.

    The ending of this game does not serve as an ending, nor does it feel like it, it feels like a continuation of more stories that should be told. For me, this game is a masterpiece that could have deliver the story differently to please a wider audience, instead takes a more gruesome and realistic approach that leaves both a satisfying gaming experience and also a sweet and sour taste that will last for years to come;
    I rate this a 10, because of the overall experience , together with its masterful graphics and memorable moments.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to say that most of the outrage aimed at The Last of Us 2, is just social outrage. People angry because Joel gets killed, and they make you play as a lesbian and there are lgbt characters in the game. I’m normally in agreement with that camp. I detest identity politics, and feel that sometimes it borders on authoritarianism. However, this game does nothing with these characters that you could call preachy. They simply exist in the story, there is subtext, but nothing is explicitly stated to try and sway your opinions either way. So it seems people just don’t want those characters to exist in the medium at all. So the criticism that it’s sjw propaganda doesn’t hold much water for me. On to my second point, I hated the first games ending, I hated Joel as a character for making such a selfish decision, based on being unable to live with the trauma of losing his daughter. I hated the way it ended, and I loathed the slow, clunky gameplay, but the reason the last of us 2 seems to work so well, is because of my disdain for Joel’s decisions in part 1. The game is about brutal revenge, and the pointlessness of seeking an eye for an eye. It also deals with the repercussions of Joel’s lie, and the fragility of their relationship built on this lie that Joel “saved” Ellie. I found the writing to be very good, and the scenes involving the original duo, still serve to make you feel for Joel, but while you can sympathize with him, and understand his motivations for what he did. It was still a lie, and it was ultimately what led Ellie onto a path of utter annihilation. I think that the gameplay has been cleaned up enough to fix my issues with the first game, and the story serves to resolve a lot of the anger I had at Joel in the end of Part 1. If you can handle LGBT people existing in a video game, as they do in real life, then I think you should play the game, I think your perspective of the story and characters, will be wildly different based on how you felt about the ending of part 1. You may hate part 2 because Joel is gone, but it may leave you with some appreciation for a game and story that doesn’t just seek to provide fan service for people who only took away positivity, and warm and fuzzies for the lie that was Joel and Ellie’s relationship.… Expand

    A brilliant game. Follows the trend of “the sequel is darker” for what was already a pretty dark game. Not for everyone as it isn’t exactly filled with optimism but I thought it was a great continuation for one of the best games ever released.

    Even though it's an amazing game concerning the visuals, effects, combat the story had some plot holes and lazy writing

    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]
