    Graphics: Really good (as expected from Naughty Dog). Beatiful landscapes. It's the only reason this game will get a 1/10 from me.

    Story/characters: That's the most important aspect in a The Last of Us game, and they dropped the ball really hard here. This game disrepects not only the original fans, but every single character previously stablished. It sacrifices its own story to tick off as many boxes as possible in the character diversity checklist. It's not only cheap, it's disgraceful.
    There's a point in the game where an NPC Neil Druckman literally spits on Joel's face, perfectly illustrating what this game is all about: him spitting in the face of everything we liked about the series . And that's just what this terrible director does to the fans, gives us a spit in the face. I am only grateful the Uncharted franchise ended before Naughty Dog could shred it to pieces, like it did in The Last of Us part 2.    … Expand

Este juego nuevo de Naughty Dog nos ha traído sorpresas muy grandes , tanto malas como buenas , han metido un par de mecánicas nuevas las cuales son divertidas , el mundo y su exploración es mas amplia . Los gráficos son bastante buenos , pero el problema lo veo en la historia , el juego no es un 10 , pero tampoco un 0 o 3 . A mi parecer Naughty Dog ha intentado explicar la historia de otro personaje el cual nos muestra otra visión de las cosas , pero creo que se podía haber hecho de otra forma con la que todo seria menos lioso y que veas que literalmente acabas igual que cuando empezaste ( con algunas perdidas , ya sea de miembros o personas ). El juego podria haber empezado igual , haciendo que asi muriese joel , y haber mostrado que los personajes al ocurrir esto se quedan claramente afectados y siguiendo su vida y después de eso empezar a contar toda la historia de Abby , alejando así a Ellie y demás de la historia centrandose en el personaje que realmente se quería poner como protagonista en esta entrega , así el juego te seguiría mostrando lo crudo y duro que es el mundo y te siguiese explicando el porque de ese asesinato y sed de venganza.… Expand

    The biggest disappointment of 2020 so far. Seven damn years went down the vain and I can’t express how betrayed I feel. Screw you Neil Druckman. Screw you Naugthy Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is made to stab a knife on you, it will destroy you, you will be angry for the things that happens, but you need to understand that this is a world where these and worse things can happen, the death of Joel is the consequence of the things he did in the final part of the first game, and if you think with a cold head, you know that Abby had more than one reason to kill him, i'm not defending her, i wanted her to die too and i was angry when Ellie let her escape, but then i understood why she decided this. You may hate or love the story, but you can't deny that the rest of the game (Gameplay, Graphics, Level design, etc) are the top of the industry right now.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was so hyped for me that I disappoint me the first 30 minutes going to the game they killed Joel from the beginning. When this happened all I felt was hate for the Abby the person who killed Joel but then they make me play with her for more than 6 hours a girl that I don’t give a penny about they try to make me sympathetic towards her but failed to do so I hated her since the beginning. The way the killed Joel is nothing what Joel will do. Joel will not trust random people he met he will be suspicious and will not say his **** name I mean come on naughty dog the first game clearly showed he had trust issues but no killed him and ruin the whole game. To make matters worse you can’t even killed Abby in the end game Ellie let’s her go just leaving you there. You killed everyone but the one person you hated the most bruhh what a disappointment a waste of 60 dollars on my opinion just stick with the first game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics were incredible, beautiful scenery, animations, etc and really good gameplay. But, those aspects alone can't make a good game. The story was lacking, a big hit to a story-based game. The character development was somewhere on a scale of bland to nonexistent. The only new character I somewhat enjoyed was Dina although even she didn't have much of a personality aside from existing to be Ellie's relief. I wish they had given the side characters as much thought and development as Tess or Bill. Abby's motives were understandable but her story seemed forced and left no real room for empathy. (Her story would have been better executed if we played as her for the entire game and actually built a relationship with her and her father, even if it led up to Joel's death, or a choice to kill him at the end - anything would have been better than the story they gave us.) After the entire story played out, we were met with an unfulfilling ending. If Joel's death and him being spit on wasn't enough, Ellie lost her fingers and overall ability to carry on his legacy. I can only assume this was Naughty Dog's way of saying "That's it. The game you loved is now dead. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for the 60 bucks." It just felt like the story was written by a person who hated the first game, I'm not even sure if it was written by the same people because it's so one-dimensional. Overall, 3 out of 10 because again, the graphics and gameplay are nothing compared to the story. If a game was made with stick figures but had an amazing story, it would get a 10/10 from me, this game has no excuse.… Expand

Incredible intertwining story with a revenge story from two characters, not fully understanding each other’s motives, abbys father being killed by Joel and preventing a cure, and Ellie’s ‘parent’ being murdered with her knowing why only until the end she realises and resulting in her letting Abby go, had me questioning which one I’m supposed to care about which was difficult as they each had the moral driven reasons. was not disappointed with not one bit of the game, each gun fight, encounter cutscene had me catching my breath at the end of it. Incredible sequel the outstanding first game, thanks naughty dog.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing I'm not a bot, I LOVE Naughty Dog, and the LOU 1 is my fav game. I stayed away from the spoilers and played for myself. That being said I hate this game! I hated almost all of this game.

    Everyone is talking about how bad the story is (it is) but what I'm not hearing is how unnecessarily LONG & repetitive it is. I'm not complaining that it's long I like long games but with this, for me there's just no joy after clearing a level feeling like its done then having to do it ALL over again with a different background. It was non stop the same **** over, and over, and over, and over without any payoff. The first game gave us some kind of "hope" at the end of each level or chapter with the second I found myself wanting to quit because I didn't care at all about what was happening and who it was happening to. I hate this game. The only reason I played all the way though was to see how bad the ending would be, and it didn't disappoint.

    I didn't mind Joel dying, in fact I thought that would have to happen, I mean why else would Elle want to "kill them all"? They way they killed him makes zero sense, the fact the people that did it kept those Ellie & Tommy alive makes no sense. Crazy thing is that I was all fine and dandy to go along with it because I trust the people who made some of my fav games that they'd make this all make sense to me. Spoiler they don't.

    Its just awful playing this game when you know about 10 hours into just killing about 5000 one of three different ways that you still have 15-20 more hours of this ****.

    The graphics are amazing! But I don't play games because of great graphics. The Abby and Lev story was the best part of the game for me, The sky bridge part was freaking AWESOME to play in the game. Problem though I **** HATED ABBY! Thats not gonna change and didn't even after seeing her side of things. She kills a man we love with a golf club, enjoys killing "scabs", pushes away a man that lovers her only to have sex with him after he's with another women who's present with said guys kid, when she's going to kill Dana she finds out she's pregnant and with a knife to her says "good" with almost a smile on her face before Lev stops her. Why should I care about this person. Every time she died when I was playing I enjoyed it, I even let Ellie kill her 4 times in the theater.    … Expand

    Gráficos e jogabilidade me agradaram! Porém, detonaram a história... Sem opção de escolhas empurraram uma narrativa que não me agradou, sem falar que o final é decepcionante por mais filosófico que seja. E a sacanagem que a ND fez, vendeu um outro game pelos trailers! Um desrespeito aos consumidores, se pudesse teria devolvido...

    Soooo, thats my first review ever for a game and it's just because I read an article about the bad critics the game received here by little, whiny kids, that either read the spoilers (it's YOUR **** OWN FAULT if you do that) or are also trans- and homophobic people, who don't like the way ellie is displayed in the second part.

If one of you would have played the DLC "Left Behind", you'd already know that. But I'll put that beside now, that's not what I'm here for. As of now, I've played a little bit more of twelve hours straight throughout the night, and if you think my four year long occurring imaginations were not disappointed, you're absolutely right. NAUGHTY DOG, HANDS DOWN TO YOU! You have raised the bar of storytelling, again, and by God, it's epic. The characters are made up in such fantastic ways, that you can always, always feel with them, no matter if it's sadness or joy. The action parts, along with "running from death" parts as I call them, are absolutely incredible well cutted, it's like a movie. I haven't finished yet, but I can say it were the best seventy euros I spent on a game in 7 years. (maybe you can guess which game it was the last time ;) ) If you haven't bought this game till now, go on, you won't regret it. I BET. I would rate it 15 from 10 if I could. Thank you if you read till here and sorry if there are mistakes, I'm german. If you are playing it, HAVE MUCH FUN GUYS / GIRLS ♥️… Expand

    If you play games for their combat and graphics, then you will love this game but if you care at all about the point of the game and the storyline. then you will be extremely dissapointed.
    Just imagine playing as the character that kills your favorite character. it's a complete waste of time.
    Also why did i kill all of those people if i'm going to forgive Abby in the end? how is that justified?`

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I legitimately feel sorry for the people who are review bombing only knowing a piece of this game without playing it entirely. You're supposed to feel angry about Joel, its part of the games progression to feel what Ellie feels and you're missing out on one of the most incredible games of all time by leaving it at your base level emotion. I've never felt such emotional change from a game. Play the game, get over your preconceived notions. Whatever you think you know, you don't. Joel and Ellie were NEVER heroes, theyre humans. And this game shows that humanity in a beautifully imperfect way.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fact that people have been giving this game a zero is disrespectful. I understand that people are angry because of Joel's death. I get that, it's a very sad and dark moment for all fans, I was super pissed, and that fact that they had the guts to make us ,the players play, as Abby for the whole second half the game was disgusting. However, i soon realized that this was a vital move for the theme of this story. Even though playing as Abby is my least favorite part of the game that section brought to the table what the first game brought. Two people randomly meeting each other developing a special bond creating some of the best story moments in the game. Abby meets and interacts with some of the best characters I have seen in video games this past generation. This also allows the player to see both sides of the spectrum showing why Abby does what she does. Even though this game tried its hardest to make me sympathize for Abby, I just never could. Instead I always saw myself caring for the characters around her like Lev, Yara, and Owen but never her. So this makes it tens times harder for the player whenever it comes down to the moment when "crap hits the fan" and certain character suffer from terrible fates. However in some cases this games story does feel all over the place because of the random flashbacks in key moments that draw you away from the main story. Also the looting after killing dozens of men and the characters just super cheery and talking to each other like nothing happened bothers me. But these moments do not justify the right to give the game a zero. You can tell just by the loading screen this game has some much hardwork and dedication poured into it and over thousands of hours of work put into it. It really is a beautiful game and the gameplay is phenomenal. This game really shows the full potential games can reach in the next generation. Lets get back to the discussion of the story. Even though it may seem like just a classic revenge story with the whole story showing why revenge is "bad" it is way deeper. Naughty Dog whole point of this game is to go beyond and do something no one has ever done. Each characters decisions feel like they have impact and weight to the world, and it gives you this feeling that you will not know what happens next. This game made me UNCOMFORTABLE, I felt like any second a character I loved would soon have their life drained from their bodies leaving me with a feeling of dread constantly. Showing how truly evil human beings are. The story is not supposed to make people happy. *THIS IS NOT A HAPPY GAME* it is eery dark and scary. Every choice Ellie and Abby make are not good and alot of the times questionable. Because of this I was left speechless and sad over the things I had done to these people even though it seems like they deserved it. Even though playing the game through Abby ultimately hurt the game and killed the story for alot of people, and me to a certain extent, I believe that is the whole purpose. The point of this game is not to be happy with the outcomes but to be mad and frustrated with what happens because life is not always a happy story. That's why TLOU Part II is simply one of the best games I have ever played. Because it shows us what the dark side of humanity is.… 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]
