    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just beat it last night and WOW what a masterpiece. A lot of the people here are taking stuff massively out of context and clearly have little to no understanding of the characters, their motivations, and the complex development throughout. The story also doesn't necessarily hold your hand with the character's reasoning, it's largely up to you to put it all together and a lot of people don't have the patience to do that.

    The story is great, the gameplay is stellar, the graphics are wonderful, the music is perfect. There's so many memorable and emotional scenes.

    This game will go down as one of the best of all time. Again, an absolute masterpiece.    … Expand

    There are many reasons to love this game, while there are many reasons to hate this game. Thus 6/10. The inconsistent characters, weird turning points in the plot, and bad pace in story telling ruined something that's supposed to be a master piece.

    Naughty Dog make it happen again! Excellent gameplay, extraordinary graphics in-game and unbelievable CGI. METACRITIC should be an example and apply filters about users review! The haters are awful and digusting people!

Some of the side missions with Ellie and Joel were truly wonderful. The game looks mostly amazing and the game play is solid though the ai is a lot to be desired. Also you have to kill dogs ...which isn't cool. The problem is the story. You hear this a lot but it really is a mess and the game is built around this story so you see the major stumbling block. I like some of the new ideas and as I said I like the new character. But it's a mess.

    Mostly it's just too long. A little boring and silly. I like Abbey alot. ALOT. Also the game is violent. Like ultra violent. So there's that.

    Buy it on sale. Play it. Sell it. Move on. Ignore the devs acting like asses or the lunatics who hate minorities.

    It deserves a 7.5 on technical skill but if a game makes you feel sad and ill then just want to forget maybe it doesn't deserve 10/10    … Expand

    El descenso de Ellie hacia la locura, este juego sabe transmitir emociones demasiado negativas al jugador y solo la gente que puede abrirse a este tipo de sentimientos lo va a entender. Lo que siempre digo, no hagan caso a lo que dicen los demás, ni lo que digo yo, pruébalo por ti mismo. Esa gente solo sigue al ganado y tiene 0 criterio propio. Este videojuego es muy pero muy bueno.

    A weak 10. But still a 10. fantastic story. Amazingly beautiful. Emotionally strong.
    Part 1 was bout Love. Part 2 is about hate. It is also the most hated game in history, which makes this game more than a game. It is actually art.

    The level of detail and work they put into this game as expected is top level stuff. Trust me when I say, this game is genuinely a great ride from beginning to end. If you liked the first one even a little. it's a no brainer.
    As with anything, play it before you judge it, seriously. Don't go by the review-bombers, most of which haven't even touched the game.

    I watched all of the leaks, and still decided to buy this game. Naughty Dog has always come through in the past, and I assumed would do so again. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is slightly improved from the original, but the story is a typical Hollywood trope, that has been done countless times before. For me, this was a huge letdown.

    The story and franchise potential is absolutely destroyed. I have finished the game recently, and if you think that the main game is terribly dumped into bottomless pit alongside with all the hopes and love for the franchise - wait until you'll finish the game. The ending is terrible and absolutely demolish everything you loved in the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is dumbfounding to me that people see Joel as a hero. He murdered all those fireflies and the one doctor that we know of that could potentially make a cure, all to selfishly save Ellie who didn't even have a say in it. And he lied to her about what happened and permanently damaged their relationship. The whole point this game is making is that violence begets violence and Abbie's revenge on Joel seems justified, just as Ellie's revenge on Abby seems justified. But as the body count gets higher and Abby loses all her friends after seeking vengeance, the message that "violence isn't the answer" becomes clear to anybody who can consume a story properly. There are definitely some huge problems with pacing, especially in the beginning and the second half with all the flashbacks. The ending was perfect, Ellie broke the cycle of violence but it was already too late and Dina had left. And her leaving Joel's guitar behind was symbolic of leaving behind the violent ruthless tendencies she learned from him. She broke the cycle. Watch American History X if you want a story with the same ending where the character that redeems themself still dies in the end because of the cyclical nature of violence and vengeance.… Expand

    After finally finishing the game I can say this is truly one of the best games I've ever played.Where some might have not enjoyed the way the story turned out (Which is fair) I wish it didn't turn out this way, but that doesn't mean I didn't like the game, because the game is **** amazing, probably the best looking games ever made.

    Technically is perfect. But, the Script is hideous, cliché, pretentious, proselytizing and very bad.

    Verdict: Bruce Straley urgently needs to return to ND.

    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]
