    I am posting a review because of the incredibly misguided backlash from other user scores. Most of these reviews were posted so close to launch it seems fishy, and many of these people could only have played a portion of the story before posting a zero.

Most of these reviews were posted so close to launch it seems fishy, and many of these people could only have played a portion of the story before posting a zero. Rage reviewing a video game simply because the story didn’t follow the plot YOU wanted it to is just so ridiculous, people are spoiled brats. The story is well written so far, the gameplay is tight, exciting, terrifying, and immersive. The environments are so well realized it’s hard to comprehend. I was walking through the barn in Jackson and could actually smell it, that’s how much detail they put into the world... Anyone who has a problem with the social themes get over yourself. The game doesn’t force anything down your throat or anything close to that, it’s just part of the story in the game and there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever. If you have a problem with this in 2020, get an education and try again. This game is so easily a 9 out of 10 at minimum based on what I’ve seen so far. It absolute deserves your time and I can’t wait to finish it.… Expand

    Es un buen juego y creo a habido juegos peores con peores historias a los cuales se les a calificado mejor. La única razon de calificar el juego de forma negativa es por tendencia ya que no califican ningún aspecto del juego con criterio propio

    I love the first part of game as I love my life. Continue of this creation is awesome. I don't know why people hate game because of LGBT. This is not the reason to hate GAME.

    This game is insanely beautiful and a very good game all in all.
    Don't pay attention to the butthurt snowflake 0/10 reviews that claim there is an "agenda" at play just because there are LGBT characters. It's sad that there are still people out there this ignorant and hateful in 2020.
    Anyway, it is a great game. I would say the most beautiful on the PS4 yet. Story is very good too.

    An absolute joke of a game. The deceptive trailers lead you to believe that Joel is more involved in the story than he actually is. It seems as though Naughty Dog has fully embraced the "woke" SJW agenda-pushing it onto players while in turn abandoning what made the first game truly great. The connection that WE as players felt towards Joel and Ellie.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game and enjoyed all segments, the fact that this game is getting review bombed is really bizzare as it gives one of the best single player experiences to date. I completed the game in just over 24 hours and can’t wait to get back in and do it all again in new game plus. The game in my opinion does a good job in terms of story as it attempts to show both sides of a story even if they know most are going to be in favor of the lead characters from the first game instead of the new antagonist/ protagonist depending on how you want to view them. Whilst I can say Ellie’s segments were tense and fun there was also an equal amount of player satisfaction when playing as Abby as some of the set pieces you explore with her can prove to be better than Ellie’s in some cases. For Abby there were many moments that enjoyable with my favorite scene being in her portion of the game even though I prefer Ellie as a character, this scene being the ground zero area of the hospital where you encounter the most terrifying infected to date. I’d say my only complaints with the game is that there is no real reward for completing it and finding all artifacts, entries, workbenches, safes etc other than points you can spend on concept art and character models when I feel as if it would have benefited from an unlock to look forward to such as a special weapon, outfits (which were present in the first game but removed here) or a cutscene to add complete closure on what I assume is the last we will see of our characters after the ending was still a bit open ended with it being unclear if Ellie returns to Jackson, where Abby went, Tommy’s reaction to hearing what Ellie did and many other things which I hope we find out either through media or possible dlc. All in all I believe the game is a faithful sequel that stays true to its roots whilst adding new mechanics that added enjoyment to my play through, I grew to like new characters and hate others only to have my initial opinions dissipate (in a good way) and I hope we see future dlc or a new game in the series at some point in the future. 9/10 solid game and thoroughly enjoyed.… Expand

    Naugthy Dog tiene muy buenos trabajadores, que han hecho sin dudar alguna, un trabajazo de 10. Tristemente, les toco tener como directo a Neil Druckman, una lastima.
    Por lo menos creo que no se han cagado en la magia del primero y eso es suficiente para mi. Creo que el juego solo por su historia se merece un 10.. pero negativo xd.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 5/5 for sound design, graphics and other than Owen the voice acting. Then why the low score? They've kept basically the same gameplay as the original game and although enjoyable it remains a bit clunky. So what keeps you going just like the first one is the game being story-driven, unfortunately the already struggling story goes downhill the moment you start playing as Abby. When you reach what seems to be the final confrontation as Ellie the scene ends and you start playing as Abby, cutting the story when it gets interesting to force me to walk as slowly as possible and watch as many boring cutscenes about character i don't care for is a terrible choice. You quickly realize they're not gonna kill this character with how much effort was put into telling her story in a forced attempt to empathize and mirror some of Ellie's own story as in your face as possible. I just couldn't find myself to care and only kept pushing in the hopes that when I switch back to Ellie I get to kill this b*tch. Except you don't switch to Ellie instead as Abby you beat the **** out of the characters that you actually cared about. Do a timeskip and Ellie and Dina are living on a farm (talk about lesbian stereotypes) when Tommy shows up to tell you he found Abby. Ellie goes after her, loses some fingers and when she's almost drowning Abby to death she has a change of heart... So she spares her just like Abby did the last two confrontations and Abby leaves on the Main Menu boat. Ellie returns home to find her girlfriend is gone and the game ends. The low score is because this mediocre a** story is an insult to the protagonists of the original. Joel is dead and Ellie is living her biggest fear, ending up alone. I get it the boats symbolizes loneliness, but there's not enough here to justify the cruelty which the writers inflict on Ellie.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Take it as you will - I wasn't a huge fan of the first game but I at least respected the story and liked the characters. I am a huge fan of the Uncharted series, which is the only reason I picked up this game or the last one. I'm a man of few words, but here goes.

    If the cycle of revenge is so bad, why does Abby get to brutally murder Joel without remorse, and get to continue about her life as if nothing happened? Why doesn't Ellie get the same satisfaction? Abby even took away Ellie's ability to play the guitar, taking away what was arguably the only everlasting gift Joel gave her, and yet neither Ellie nor the player is given any agency whatsoever in deciding Abby's fate. Naughty Dog should be ashamed of themselves. You have wronged every player and I hope you realise Neil Druckmann is a pathetic excuse for a director. I will not be playing another one of your games.    … Expand

The story, gameplay, graphics, sound, acting, voice work is utter perfection. The motivations of each character felt authentic and I can empathize with them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game does an excellent job at humanizing the people that Joel and Ellie have killed without batting an eye. In the beginning it was easy to hate Abby, she brutally killed my favorite character, destroying the relationship between Ellie and Joel that I bought the game to see further develop. However, once swapping to Abby’s point of view and understanding why Abby killed Joel, I found it hard to be mad. And that’s the point of this game, yes it is called the last of us, but there are many people in the world doing what they can to survive after the outbreak.… Expand

    Here friends we have a clear example of the empathic capacity of the average of our society. For me, a masterpiece, that from the beginning to the end takes you on a thread of intense emotions, the graphic quality greatly increases the expectations of the next gen, Santaolalla has done it again with the soundtrack, the inclusion of    More than 20 thousand negative reviews !!?!?!

I think it’s a great secret from the last of us part one and I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me but that’s my opinion. And I know how they killed off Joel wasn’t the best but really. Naughty dog did what they wanted to do this is their game after all. I played the last of us part one a few months ago before this came out. And I wasn’t expecting much from the sacral and that’s all you had to go into this if you haven’t played it yet you can’t expect much this is a secret after all I went into this just hoping for the best and I got what I wanted it was a good game to my heart.

    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]
