    Not interesting game. I have been waiting this game for so long, but gameplay is really boring, script of this game is really bad. The only think I liked in this game were graphics. Shadows are really beautiful, but graphics are not as important as plot and gameplay, so I’m really disappointed in this game, not recommended to buy.

    Big disappointment. This game seems uninterested in discovering what made the first game great. Instead it's all about social justice and leftist politics. Regardless of your personal politics, you would think a game about zombies wouldn't have politics at it's core, but it does.

    The game is also filled with hand-holding and a general sense of disregard and disrespect for the player.    Big disappointment.

Probably not, so we'll show you instead of letting you find out for yourself. You feel like an idiot playing this.

    Graphics are nice, of course, and the sound works, that's why it gets a 1. I hope Naughty Dog sees this for what it is, a big miscalculation, and that they do better next time.    … Expand

    This is the first game I've ever felt the need to "review" for anybody. But I must warn people who loved the story of the first game. The sequel is absolutely garbage with story. Not much to say beyond that. It's clearly an attempt to shove unpopular political message.

    I decided that it would be better for me to write a review after completing the game entirely and here I am around 25 hours of gameplay. If I had to sum this game up in three words they would be "A massive disappointment". Let me get something straight, there is nothing wrong with having LGBT characters in a game. In fact we found out of Ellie's sexuality in the DLC for "The Last of Us"I decided that it would be better for me to write a review after completing the game entirely and here I am around 25 hours of gameplay. If I had to sum this game up in three words they would be "A massive disappointment". Let me get something straight, there is nothing wrong with having LGBT characters in a game. In fact we found out of Ellie's sexuality in the DLC for "The Last of Us" that she was gay, which is fine. The first game is my absolute favorite game ever and it breaks my heart seeing that they took this route with the second game. They absolutely destroyed everything they built up in the first game within the first 2 hours of this game. The story is absolutely horrendous it was based on hate and the desire for revenge. After the first 5 hours of gameplay I honestly just did not want to play the game anymore. I had to force myself to play this and it pains me because of my excitement for this game to come out, just to see Niel just burn everything from the first game down to the floor. The reason I am not giving this game a 0 is because of the graphics and game-play. The graphics are gorgeous and the gameplay is ok. I absolutly hated that Naughty Dog forced me to play half of the game as the character that murdered one of my favorite characters in cold blood. The issue here is what made the first game so amazing was the story, that was the important part of both games. The Last of Us has always been about the story. The ending was horrible as well and Neil already said that there are no plans to release a DLC with this game which I see them as saying "there are no plans to fix the story". Like I said earlier in this review, I have nothing against them adding LGBT characters in the game but I really felt like Naughty Dog was trying to shove them down my throat, like if they were trying to push an agenda through this video game, it made me feel like it was less of a video game and more of a political statement which is another reason I think is why most of us gamers dislike the game. Honestly I think this game was a waste of money and a waste of my time. I just really hope that if they do make a third game or a TV show/movie they don't use Abbey as the protagonist, she is the most hated character in the game... that will definitely be the final nail in the coffin for us fanatics of the franchise.… Expand

    Story - Awful
    Gameplay- Excellent
    Characters - Tried to kill most of them on purpose
    Graphics - Top Tier

    The story and some characters really does just bring it down to a one because I pushed my way through the second half and eventually my will just drained it self, don’t play this, stay away and make sure who ever did the writing for this gets boycotted in the future.

    If you loved the first game you're better off pretending this sequel didn't exist. I really wish I could get my 30+ hours back after finishing this game. The most disappointing release of this generation.

    This game never happened for me.I would suggest not to buy this game if you liked the relation from the first game because it was destroyed and was not respected at all but if it the game-play you are after it has improved but not by much and not much more was added

    At first, I thought the massive review bombing was just about some random ultra-con fools, but than I played the role game, just ended right now.
    The history is just full of holes and makes no sense. They lost their narrative while trying to impose far-left politics and ideas.

    It is a game so it gets at least 1 point. The story is trash, none of the characters actions make any logical sense and of course it destroys the original game.

    Si solo quieres jugar un juego con buenas mecánicas y gráficas y no jugaste el primer juego o no lo recuerdas o realmente no te interesa tener una segunda parte Adelante vas a disfrutar este juego.

    I only wish, well educated and talented screenplay writers will come back to the industry one day.
    Level design is also rubbish. It is monotonous and boring locations.
    You trampled the work of concept artists.

    Terrible game to be honest. Absolutely mired in identity politics and political agenda. And no amount of paid critic scores will ever change that.

    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]
