    An absolute amazing game. You thought one was good, well two is even better! The graphics are insane, the story telling is beautiful. Honestly 10/10 game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game about an hour ago. Really been thinking about it. I really enjoyed this experience and don't understand how people have been giving such low scores. The gameplay is vastly improved from the first game. Playing as Abby is a completely different experience from playing as ellie. It allows you to think more outside of your comfort zone and what youre used to. Abby does not have a knife like Ellie so it allows you to craft shows like joel had to do in the first game. The small amount of new mechanics that were added such as jumping and dodging may seem small but really give you a fleshed out and more realistic experience. The story is really solid for most of the game. Although it is hard to be invested in the story upon the second part of the game. They really do a good job with Abby's story and eventually make you come around and start to like her as a character also there was a hotline Miami reference which is 100 extra points.… Expand

    La parte de Abby aburridísima aunque es la mejor en los combates. Se nota que en la parte 3 o algún DLC ella será la protagonista.
    Triste por el final de Ellie aunque es reconfortante saber que terminó en buenos términos con Joel, creo que ese fue el motivo del perdón a Abby.

    It really was a lousy game in terms of history, they threw everything they created overboard and they were also idiots for adding politically correct themes that only divide the community of players

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I totally understand, that people don´t like the development of their beloved characters. Really, I know. I was shocked too, after what happens in the first few hours.
    But, and this is what I give Naughty Dog big credit for, it is the most realistic scenario I have ever seen in a video game. Even teh switch between characters makes sense to me. I was filled with hatred, but then I started to realize that there is another perspective of seeing things from a different character with a different point of view. In a post-apocalyptic world, wouldn´t we all do what Ellie tries to do, vice versa wouldn´t we all try to do what Abby did?
    It really is kind of brave to do a video game like this one. And for sure Naughty Dog knew too well, that there will be a lot of disappointment within the community.
    But for me, the way of storytelling and the Story itself is really brilliant. And very tough to deal with.
    At the end I had it all, Hate for the first hours, indecision in the middle, and by the end I had sympathy for all the leading characters.

    After the first one, I was also hoping for a "they lived happily ever after"...but in a world like this, it makes sense, that someone comes after you, after what you did in the end of Part 1.

    So, blame me, but I am still thinking about the ending and the game itself. I really love it. And just like after the first game´s ending I hope that "they will NOW live happily ever after".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was looking forward to this game after really enjoying the story from the first TLOU game. Personally I would give that original an 8 or 9. Story wise the original had a great story but some of the game play mechanics held it back. Also, as a personal note. I would never give a game a 10 or a 0; there is always something aspects that could be improved or is great that impacts this for me.

    I was hoping to get to see more of the original story and see what would happen to Joel and Ellie. Though after my play through it seems like characters are not acting like their original counterparts. Sadly I think this game is a big let down for me. I think I would have been better off just watching some compiled cut scene video instead of buying. Some spoilers may be noted below.

    Good aspects:
    - Great visuals and linear level design. Graphically the game looks good.
    - Good voice acting. This really does seem like it could be more like a movie than a game.

    Ok aspects:
    - Level design is larger, but still very linear in design. Personally, would have wished we could have seen what a more open environment would have lent to this game.
    - Mechanics are still fairly close to the first game and not much is different at first glance. Core game play is still close to the first game.
    - Stealth aspects do provide a good pacing and tension. But, it will feel not as polished as other more stealth based games.
    - AI is ok, but feels very outdated and not any different than any other games.

    Bad aspects:
    - Overall story, was a major let down for me. I get that this is a revenge plot story but you don't see any resolution or closure for the main character.
    - Characters not acting in line with their past habits or known character aspects. (e.g. you have Joel who is openly trusting not familiar people early on. Joel was not like this and had an open mistrust of new people)
    - There is a lot of plot holes as the story continues on into latter parts of the story
    - Side quest section of the game seems drawn out and doesn't add much. This was around 8-10hrs of game play for me that could have been cut from the game and I don't personally feel it would have changed things.

    Overall I was not a fan of this sequel to the first game. The only saving grace to me was visuals and the voice acting. I get what the Naughty Dog team was trying to do in that they wanted a divisive story that may not be for everyone. I think you have achieved that. It was tough getting through this game. With Joel being killed off very quickly and a revenge story that never seem to find any resolutions for Ellie. She never got her revenge and Abby gets away with everything.

    Overall if you are fan of the first game and looking for more story telling on that aspect I think you will be let down. I can't say that I would recommend this game to many fans of the first game.    … Expand

    The graphics are beautiful. Gameplay is improved and very immersive. Kudos to the tech team- gorgeous backgrounds, movement, and look. It was so nice to see Joel and Ellie again, returning to old friends from years before. I have a deep love for Last of Us 1. This is why i don't give the game a flat zero.

    Horrible writing. Poor character development, decisions completely out of character. These are different people wearing their faces. Not because they matured, but because they needed to push the story forward and create situations. Trashed the core of who they were and everything that made the game memorable.

    No game should be actively trying to make you feel bad about yourself and everything. It felt like a slog in misery. You end up hating everyone in the game.

    I do not recommend. Dumpster fire of a sequel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. NaughtyDog just killed possibly the best story line in gaming history. Joel’s death is just a joke. If you want to kill his character off fine, but give his character the respect he EARNED the way the story went about it is a complete mess of incompetent writing. The ending is even worse than all the leaks. A revenge tale that ends with no revenge and leaves everyone playing confused and unsatisfied. The way the story completely annihilated Ellie’s character is one of the biggest disappointments of the gaming industry. These story writers should never be allowed to work on another game again. It is an absolute tragedy that after seven years this is what fans got. Shame on all of you.… 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]
