The combat is intense and you feel yourself count every bullet you are forced to shoot. This is the first game since TLOU 1 that has created such an environment of primal fear for your character. If you haven’t purchased the game, and are giving it a 0 for no reason, shame on you. If you purchased the game and are giving it a low rating for god knows why, please, go back to Warzone and stop shaming the developers for creating quality content. I can't begin to understand how anyone would expect a 100% change in game mechanics after ND created such a masterpiece first time around. I also fail to see how this game is too "PC" or bends the knee to any aspect of today's society just because it takes on the perspective of someone other than the characters that have been repeated over and over again in every other title. Yes, everyone who has reviewed this game poorly is either trolling, 12 years old and addicted to seeing "Victory!" every 30 minutes, or is a moron. This game is stunning and will win Game of the Year. If it doesn’t then the gaming community will certainly enter a dark age. Congratulation, Naughty Dog, on yet another homerun. Please continue to create such work.

    I really hate to see people who have yet to play the game rate it over a leak. I am half way through the game and believe this game is just as good or better than the original. Naughty dog worked hard on this game and it shows. Please buy the game and experience it.

One side says it’s a masterpiece, on side says it’s downright terrible. So let me explain: the original last of us was praised not for it’s mechanics and gameplay, but for it’s storytelling and world building. It kinda lacked in other features, but the story and lore behind it were enough to make itself an masterpiece. The last us of 2 is different. The devs were quite obviously pushing politics, so even if you wanted to ‘ignore’ some aspects and enjoy the game overall, you had to notice it. The story, well, was kind of the problem. There is no context or relevance in the story whatsoever. The characters are acting if they weren’t in the first last of us, and even the new characters we’re introduced to don’t really give us the love Joel and Ellie gave us in the first game. However, it did have some minor upgrades in gameplay (except the useless jumping mechanic) so that’s a pro. Politics is a touchy subject, so i’ll leave it up to you. This is (I think) the best way to sum it up. If you enjoyed star wars: the last Jedi, or game of thrones season 8, I think you’ll have a chance to enjoy the story, even if politics were involved.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El videojuego como tal es muy bueno, graficos excelentes, animaciones de 10, detalles soberbios y por estar pulido sin bugs todo bien hasta ahi pero no llega al 10 por los malos momentos de la historia por el relleno innecesario de gameplay con Abby y por tocar temas como la homosexualidad de Ellie y escenas de sexo que no eran necesarias, por matar a Joel de una manera ridícula, tonta y cruel, por mostrar a Joel como personaje jugable cuando en realidad no se se juega con El, por querer que empatize con Abby durante 10 horas a mas y no lograrlo y por el final que es un despropósito a las 30 horas de juego.
    Si no te intereza la historia seguramente tendrás un juego de 10 pero como estos juegos la historia pesa y mucho se a ganado el odio de la comunidad.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m glad naughty dog wanted to try something different with the perspective of characters and it really developed the post apocalyptic very well through doing this; however, in some parts it went way too far. I didn’t mind playing as abby for the most part. As for joel dying, It was pretty sad how it happened so easily for him and it was pretty much fate. As the story unfolded, however, it was pretty clear that he deserved to die, at least Abby had good motivation to do so. Joel’s death really motivated me as well, to go kill every single person involved. I was so angry and furious and heartbroken, that when i played as Ellie seeking revenge i truly wanted to kill all of them, i didnt even care, i thought well, i don’t mind joel dying as long as i can kill every last one of them, to me his death would be worth it. Then we got to play as abby. Of course i disliked abby, but it was nice to see into the life of another community and see that they are very human. I think they could have made abby so much more likable though, she wasn’t even liked by her friends that much and i don’t know, i feel like if you make someone kill joel then make us play that character you better make that character even more likeable than ellie, and they kind of failed at that for me at least. Despite that, playing as abby was interesting and made me feel at least a little empathy for her, yet i still hoped for revenge against her which is why i didn’t mind playing as her. This was until my least favorite part of the game came...they made us play as abby, and beat the **** out of ellie. Honestly it was the worst part of the game for me and if this wasn’t in it i would have loved the game so much more. It upset me that the character i wanted revenge against the most beat up the character that was so beloved by me and the character i was rooting for throughout the game, and i had to do it. It was
    honestly so messed up to me. After that, i felt sick to my stomach and just wanted to stop playing. How does naughty dog expect us to like that part of the game? Why do they think our interests to beat up ellie would aline with abby’s when you showed her brutally kill joel? I was so disappointed and i just wanted to stop, but i continued. Honestly i just wanted to be over with it, but of course we got sent back to try and find abby, I’m not sure if i cared anymore, at this point i disliked the writers more than abby for making me do that to ellie. Then we finally find abby and we beat her but we decide not to kill her. I didn’t hate the ending but i can’t say i understood why ellie
    chose that...i think she realized joel really was a ****ty person and possibly took away the vaccine from man kind (based on the flash back that happened at the end) but she loved him too, and the reason she was even living was because of him and she knew that. I don’t know, honestly i wish we killed abby, but we both have gone through so much **** i don’t know if i even cared anymore.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The toxicity of review bombing in both games, movies, music and TV has to stop. I played the game and I am now on my 4th hour playing it. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. There are flaws and and when I say flaws they really suck like character textures popping, backgrounds sudden shift and the game is also locked on 30fps that is just sad for this console generation. But honestly it is a must play. Don't hate on the game because of the loss of a beloved character but let the game grow on you.… Expand

THIS IS A 2/10 NOT A **** 6 From someone who believes The Last Of Us part 1 Is one of the greatest games of all time (trust me it’s with Batman Arkham City for me) I was super pumped for this game. But upon playing it with no spoilers going into it I was super disappointed with this product. Graphics were fantastic but We all expected it to be. The story however is awful, truly awful. So many plot holes and dumb choices. And no people I haven’t got a problem with there being trans and gay people leading the game or a woman leading it. Ellie is an amazing character or should I say was an amazing character but man how can you do my man Joel so dirty like this. It’s not even the fact he died cause I expected that but the way you guys done it was just awful. Here’s an idea, why couldn’t he go out in a similar fashion to Arthur Morgan from RDR2?? Also **** abbey, honestly the very worst character I’ve ever seen and as for the cringe sex scene.....Jesus we get it and again this isn’t a problem with her being trans. I don’t want to play a game and there be a “raw” sex scene in it even if it is male on female. I just wanna play and enjoy my game I paid £60 for. Such a disappointment in a time where we needed the opposite… Expand

    De lo mejor de esta generación de consolas.
    Naughty Dog una vez más vuelve a sorprenderme con un fantástico título. Ya nos habían dicho que esta sería una entrega que no a todos les agradaría, pero a mí me está encantando. Gráficamente el juego se ve espectacular, su jugabilidad está muy bien lograda y la historia está a la par o por encima de el primer juego.

    The writing in this is terrible. Terrible story choices. Plot holes galore. No one is giving bad reviews because of LGBT+ elements of the story. Absolutely terrible story. The only reason it is getting a 4 is the gameplay itself isn’t shabby and the graphics are beautiful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and graphics are really good. The story isn't bad, if the leaks weren't out before release there wouldn't be much critic to the game. Of course, there are reviews 2 hours after release that say the game is terrible, even though they havent played it. After Joel's death, it left me in a limbo feeling. Exploring Seattle was basically an introduction to Dina and Ellie and their relationship. The roles are similar to the first game, where Joel used to tell Ellie stories and Ellie use jokes to lighten the mood, it's now Dina doing that for Ellie and Ellie is giving some background about Joels and Tommys history. In my opinion, Joel's death should have been delayed to a midpoint in the game and not in the beginning, which I believe is why most people are upset about. For they don't want to play as Ellie. Rolling back to what I said about the leaks, it's as if this is happening all over again like it did with game of thrones. The game of thrones situation is a bit different, game of thrones' story continued on without a blueprint, but this game is made by the original story teller. I don't think there would be much of a circlejerk about hating this game if the big scenes in the game was experiencd by people playing it, like a twitch streamer or youtubber. I know I'm gonna receive critic from people I know that hate this game for no reason, but I liked it. I mean what are they to say they do not play solo games anyway. I do hope people eventually realize it's not a bad game.… Expand

    Having enjoyed the first game to the point I would call myself a fan, I had high hopes for this sequel. I am happy with what I have played so far and feel that it is a leap in every regard from the first game and look forward to the conclusion.

    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]
