    The gameplay is the only thing that saves this game from being the worst sequel to any game I know of. Hey Naughty Dog, know your audience!

    I wonder how many of the people who reviewed this game a few hours after it came out had actually played the game. I have played the game for several hours and I am enjoying the game play, even though it did start a little slow, the story is fine and the graphics are great.

    A mí no me meterán su agenda política.... Menos una copia vendida...... La historia no tiene ningún sentido .... Osea en un mundo postapocaliptico dónde en cualquier momento puedes morir me meten este tipo de personajes????? Bah

    Ok , im going to say this right now most of the bad reviews are people who just wanna **** on the game because it's the trend right now because the game hasn't been out for 24 hours and the game takes more than that to complete I did not finish the game (I only played the first 5 hours ) and I can tell you right now so far it has been a great experience and if in the end the gameOk , im going to say this right now most of the bad reviews are people who just wanna **** on the game because it's the trend right now because the game hasn't been out for 24 hours and the game takes more than that to complete I did not finish the game (I only played the first 5 hours ) and I can tell you right now so far it has been a great experience and if in the end the game becomes worse I will update my review but so far the gameplay has been great it improves so much from the first game from a gameplay and graphical point of view I cant comment on how the complete story compares to the first game but what I can say that it is different because the first game was a heart warming story about love while this is a dark story about revenge Expand

    Gameplay, scenery, graphics, music and sound all surpass the original. Performances and story equal to part 1, a fantastic continuation of the world. Runs flawlessly on base PS4 too

    Not completed as just got today so not sure how there are so many comments putting this game down, I think the graphics are outstanding and I’m enjoying the story so far. I think the people who are complaining are people who didn’t even like the first game and went into playing this one wanting to hate it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People that bash on this game bc of ONE specific scene, cry harder. You didn't get the message. We feel every kind of emotion, practically what Ellie feels too, after someone's death. Hate, anger, sadness etc. And our first thought is so kill every one of them (same thought Ellie has). But in the middle of the game we get to play as Abby and experience her side, her story. I know it takes some time to get over the fact that you're playing her but give it a chance - that's what my friend told me and I'm glad I did.. After killing Abby countless times the moment I got to play her. As the story continues and we get to know more of her, the fact, she's just trying to survives in this messed up world like Joel & Ellie. Ellie and Abby both are blinded by anger, same with the player but as the story continues we get a more cleared view of the whole situation. We turn from the monster that wants to kill every single one of them to a more moral person. And it starts to make you think if killing all those people was correct. Touchy and a big risky subject that ND took and for that they got my respect. btw: Soundtrack The Last Of Us Part II > The Last Of Us, fight me. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an insult to one of the best games ever and to everyone who played and liked the first game. There is no last of us 2 this game is a horrible bad joke and should never have been released. Even the people who worked on this garbage were so mad that they leaked the story to show people how bad it is so they don't waste their money and time on this game. Not to mention the disappointment by this poorly written story. It's hard to say the story has plot holes because it's the only thing the story is even made out of. It's like they didn't even care what the characters in the first game were like they just changed their character to s##t on the player. Joel a very careful survivor now trusts every stranger. Don't ever buy any games from naughtydog ever again. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was actually really good. I understand many people don’t like it but I personally really like it. It’s not better than the first one but this one is really good. The graphics are really good and the mechanics are good too. I hate Joel’s death not only because he died but the way he died and the fact that you play as a killer makes it worse but after completing the game I understand why she killed him. Although Joel was a really good character he wasn’t really a good guy which made him a target. The ending was bad but it made sense how Ellie saw that Abby was kind of like a Joel to Lev and so she decided not to kill her. Expand

    Don’t believe the review bombers, most of who will never play this game. I am a few hours into this, and so far it is one of the most compellingly nihilistic horror video games I have ever played.

    Not even worth a 3/10. Leaving the roots behind to continue off on some unexpectedly bad tangent and dubbing this media a "game". Graphics are good but is not a saving grace, gameplay is.

    Amazing. I dont finish the game,i was played 15 hours
    The history have the same level that the last one. The animations is gorgeous. The music
    Any moments in the history is really really hard.
    The master piece from naughty dog.

    The game story is terrible for exactly what people have explained across platforms. I think you all know the reason why.

    So most of the 50000+ negative “review” posters seem to have misunderstood what a “review” actually is lol - you really need to have PLAYED THE GAME rather than just copied the opinions of other sad sexists and homophobes on the internet, since half of them posted within hours of release...

    A game to think, a game that can be understood in many ways, a game that I loved so much in gameplay mechanics and cinematics, simply beautiful I hope very much for this!

    This game is amazing, the score, the acting, gameplay is so much improved, and yes, the story is taking major risks, but the actions are explained over the course of the game. I highly recommend this game, it is a must play, and in my humble opinion the future GOTY.

    Gorgeous game, that made some bold decisions, to help develop the strong themes on the topic of revenge. Reactionaries are responding ad absurdum to the most minute of progressive values showing their head.

    Not all games need a continuation. The Last of Us part II is proof of that.

    PROS: -The graphics are really beautiful. -The gameplay is very close to the first one. For me this is very good. -It is very pleasant to play with Ellie. -The world of the game is very well made. THE MIXED: -Some new characters are ok, I guess. You'll not care much about them, but they are necessary.

    THE MIXED:
    -Some new characters are ok, I guess. You'll not care much about them, but they are necessary.
    -The dialogues are sometimes forced, sometimes incredible.

    THE (REALLY) BAD:
    The story is absolutely lazy. They didn't put any, what so ever, effort to make a good story. The big event in the beginning is really REALLY bad, and the end is almost worst.

    Do yourself a favor: DON'T BUY THIS GAME. Wait until it goes on sale.

    And don't ever again trust in critics. The hype that they put on this game is a big fat lie.

    Objectively speaking, this game is pretty fantastic; however, I understand the hate.

It is a wonderful character exploration that tugs at your heartstrings almost every step of the way - however the game isn't afraid to upend everyone you knew from the first game. We are emotionally tied to these characters, so when one of them dies - or when one of them drastically changes - we get upset. But please stop ignoring the copious amounts of effort that went into this game, regardless of your devastation at the story. The amount of hate is frankly stupid at this point. If you don't want to see some characters die and some twists in the story unfold - don't play the game. But don't ruin the experience for people who want to experience a rewarding and heart-wrenching story. 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]
