    It's linear as hell, boring and has an crappy plot. Don't buy it, the first one is way superior while this was just made to cash in on the current Political Climate. Avoid it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To me without a good story the rest doesn’t matter. The graphics, audio, game design are all good. Here’s why you shouldn’t support Naughty Dog:

    Joel is killed brutally. Someone people spent much of the first game building an attachment with. I believe it’s because Naughty Dog doesn’t think games should have straight white males anymore. You play the second half of the game as his killer. How ND thought this was a good idea eludes me. Abby (the killer) is not a likeable person. People want to play more Ellie instead they have to play as someone they hate. The story is all about revenge being bad, yet Abby gets hers and walks away while Ellie loses everything. The game doesn’t give you the choice to kill Abby as Ellie. Robbing you of what you want to do because god forbid Neil Druckmans leftist masterpiece character Abby dies.    … Expand

    They just stomped on everything that made the last of us good, the characters and the story. I'm giving it a 1 because the gameplay looks decent but honestly, we bought it for the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a disappointment of a game. The reason we all wanted a sequel was to see how the relationships of the characters we know and love are doing and maybe meet some new faces along the way. We all wanted to visit some old friends but nope naughty dog said forget that and throw pretty much a new cast of unlikable and unredeemable people for us to play as while completely disrespecting our main characters in every possible way. Very uncharacteristic decisions are made by our Joel Tommy and Ellie which without we don’t have this forced story. I love the first game so much I would call it my favorite game of all time without a doubt. This one however Is completely disrespectful. The flashback with Joel and Ellie at the museum is beautiful and especially where he sings Pearl Jam for her !! That’s what we want and I give those parts of the game a solid 10 so I’ll give the game a 1 just for those scenes alone but the store is a solid negative 7… Expand

    They could have done so many great things with the dynamic between Joel and Ellie, the reason the first game was so amazing was because peaople could relate to that relationship. This is gone.

    The driving point for the narrative with Ellie having virus immunity was interesting and helped unfold the first story. That is now irrelevant.

    Naughty Dog would say"It's a game, you need to play it to understand", well I have... Unfortunately destroying my most beloved franchise .

    Even Assassins creed 2 is a better game with graphics of 2009 than this **** just because the story telling sucks to match with your game in 2013.

    utter tripe, save your money, don't buy this garbage. Don't bother playing this get Last of us part 1 it is far better and actually has a storey that makes sense, characters you can become involved with and a meaningful relationship between the two main characters - Part 2 has none of this, it is one long SJW wet dream, utter crap

    The whole game is about feminism.
    I Don’t care AND IM SURE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL AGREE, that we didnt care about being a strong women/girl caracter, but the way that game pushes in ...nahh this could have been indeed a game of a gen but it isnt.

    A shocking disaster. Paying no respect to the first game, Last of Us Part 2 progresses the series in an offshoot direction, with a message completely opposite to that of the original—failing to justify its name as a "part 2" to the story. While the gameplay remains fine and the graphics top notch, the unbelievably and at times laughably bad storyline makes The Last of Us Part 2 a game toA shocking disaster. Paying no respect to the first game, Last of Us Part 2 progresses the series in an offshoot direction, with a message completely opposite to that of the original—failing to justify its name as a "part 2" to the story. While the gameplay remains fine and the graphics top notch, the unbelievably and at times laughably bad storyline makes The Last of Us Part 2 a game to remember for all the wrong reasons.

    Firstly, the good. The graphics are among the best we’ve seen out of the ps4. A true spectacle from start to finish, the 3D modeling work, animation, voice acting, and production value in general are all fantastic. The gameplay is… fine. If you liked the first game’s gameplay you will like the gameplay here, but likely not very much more if at all. The game barely progresses its gameplay in any meaningful way. The jump button is pathetic. The aiming is stiff. The melee combat is an improvement with the dodge mechanic, but it remains a button smashing contest now with one added button, the dodge button. The dodge mechanic can be readily abused and enemies can regularly be ran past all together. So that’s the good, on to the terrible: the story.

    Every character acts unlike themselves. From Joel to Ellie, the cast you used to love has been abhorrently butchered. Joel and Tommy have been watered down to bumbling idiots and Ellie has become an unlikeable mess. Character motivation goes out the window as the writers of this game seem to think everybody playing are complete idiots.

    Violence is wrong. Violence is bad. Yes, we get it. We got that in kindergarten. At no point does the game push itself to give the player choice, at no point do the writers ask themselves is this worth throwing away the meaning of the first game. Ellie, a hollow shell of her former self following the early events of the game, no longer provides the regular comedic and energetic flair she provided from the first game. Fine, character development right! Well who's going to provide the levity? Nobody! Life sucks! That's what the writers will say, oh so smugly. Everybody you meet is slated to be awful or be killed. And the writers will revel in the kills that they force you to play. How many dogs are you ready to kill! We made the enemies scream extra-long so you really get that violence is bad. After all, revenge sucks... right?

    No! Says the fanbase! How could you possibly think anybody would want to play as Abby? After the things she does, there is no redemption. The writers seem to have failed to realize that we, the player, have played 20 hours as Joel. We understand him, and we understand the situation. We also understand that this is a sequel, 7 years after the original--Joel was obviously going to end up here. But like this? At the hands of an npc who not even Joel remembers? Right at the beginning of the game? You don’t even get to play as Joel for more than 10 minutes. False advertising could be argued! Be warned reader, you play half the game not as Joel or Ellie! But as somebody who was in none of the promotional material or trailers--somebody who you will come to hate so bitterly within the first moments you meet her. Abby will go down in history as one of gaming’s biggest **** ups.
    The shame is that in a vacuum, the Abby section could have been a good spinoff Last of Us game. I suspect somewhere in the tumultuous 7 yearlong development that this may have been the case. But as it stands, sandwiched between the horrors that are the beginning and end--Abby, like Joel and Ellie, has been ruined.

    The ending will leave players shocked that they wasted so much of their time and hard-earned money. But hey, now we know that revenge is wrong, right? We now know the difference between responsibility, peace, and accountability! We now know what real pain looks like! What it means to be human!

    1/10 on metacritic since there are way too many people who have not played the game giving the game a 10. The real score is a 6/10 or 7/10 for me. Anyone who says 10 is blatantly ignoring not only the flaws in story, but also the mediocre gameplay that has barely progressed from the first game. A 10/10 gameplay experience should really push a genre and set a bar in some respect. Does this game have any stealth ideas that push the genre past where it already was? No. How about the third person shooting? The platforming? The puzzles (the handful that there were)? Nope. If you really enjoyed the gameplay that is fine, but none of it sets any kind of bar. The only bar this game definitively sets is in presentation and acting.    … Expand

    The story of the game was supposed to be very beautiful, away from dirty ideas and from the foreign agenda. Homosexuality is disgusting and anyone with homosexuality should go to the psychiatric hospital.

    puedo decir que gráficamente es muy bueno pero la historia es excesivamente forzada , la jugabiilidad esta bien pero nada que no y se ha visto.
    si quieres un juego visualmente hermoso puede pasar pero como una historia flaquea mucho hasta el punto que llega a molestar ,sus mecánicas están bien pero nada de lo innovador que se hablaba
    en fin "solo un bonito juego"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A few things first. The gameplay was okay, nothing that new or innovative but still okay. The animation and graphics were spectacular. But you would have to pay me to play this game again, and that would be a maybe. What they did with the story and how they just bent their knee to the SJWs is just absolutely pitiful. Along with the false advertising, making it seem like Joel was going to be in it more mainly, you just offed him, literary spat on his body, and made us play as his killer. I do not care about Abby, I didn't want to play as them at all after that. You tried to make them look pathetic but you utterly failed at it. And then the ending, I don't think I have to even bring that up because I want to just forget this game. Waste of my money and time. And If you take this review down because of me being either a "Troll" or "Bot". I paid for the game on release, avoided all the spoilers, and tried to enjoy it. OKAY, I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER 30 MINS TO TRY AND POST THIS. YOU CAN'T JUST MUTE BAD REVIEWS.… Expand

    Really? Thats the plot? And ok dead?... time to get a refund. Another game where the critics pander to the game studios so that their access doesn't get cut off. Graphics are good, story sucks. Its like a great story got attacked by Hollywood and written for the lowest common denominator. Save yourself the money and pass on this one.

    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]
