    I expected the same strong story as in the first part. Unfortunately, I have not received this. The rest for me in this game is not important, although the graphics and atmosphere are 10/10. But the overall rating is low due to history.

    I did not liked direction that story took in Part 2. Frankly speaking, i hated every minute of Abby drama until the end.
    Whoever was involved in decision of making this stupid character PLAYABLE (for half of the game length) should just quit Naughty Dog altogether.

    Otherwise, the gameplay and world, graphics are amazing.

    The first Last of Us was a masterpiece taking into consideration the story, the second, it's like they didn't take into consideration the first game story.

    История Джоэла и Элли закончилась первой частью. В "Последнем из нас, часть II" должны были быть другие герои с другой историей.

    I play TLOU for the Story.
    I understand the point of the story but it is so poorly done it's painful!
    It's a very beautiful game that plays well but that doesn't really matter cus of the story. You could have made this story to a ok one by reversing the order of some parts but it still is just an ok story at that point.

    Having the story play out like it did then have that 'noclusion' is just not ok. Forcing us to play a character we hate for 10 or so hours is not ok. Trying to make us care for her just doesn't work. I have loved Joel an Ellie for 7 years. I don't care about SheHulk!
    The mixed in politics doesn't help either... I would have liked to see the game 100% detached from real life at this point...
    The 2 points is for the stunning looks and sound.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible storyline, just absolutely horrible. I am only giving 2 stars for the technical aspects of the game but since this is a heavily story-driven game and also a continuation of a wonderful game the story becomes the biggest factor to consider and since it is worse than trash perhaps my score should be even lower. But the fake advertisements of the game has to take the crown! No, you won't play with nor as Joel at any present time of the game, and you will have to play with joe's horrible killer (Abby) for HOURS upon hours (almost like HALF the game) and then fight Ellie as her!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is **** Anyone saying different can go and **** himself. Paid fake critics that are writing positive reviews because they get paid and because truth wouldn't sound tolerant enough to please minorities that wont even ****in play this game. Story is disgusting piece of **** Imagine waiting 7 years for this trash. No improvements in mechanics or gameplay, the only good thing is graphics and visuals. Were we all just waiting for some appealing graphics? For 7 years Naughty Dog couldn't think of anything else than revenge plot. HOW? WHY? This is soo stupid. They couldn't even finish the story properly where Ellie gets her redemption. Ellie just kills 1000s of people just to forgive the one who killed Joel who was like Father to Ellie.How ****ing stupid this is. Devs, what were you thinking? Were you thinking that this game and this story will teach me to forgive or what ? Killing tons of enemies, whole game is based on violence violence, no elements of survival at all and in the end its just forgiveness. Stop this political propaganda, SJW all of this is irrelevant in this game. Killing a lead male character just to promote your Feminism in the game. I dont mind Ellie being a lesbian and I dont mind playing as Ellie or other Female characters at all! But this story is Bull****. We all are here to play video games and enjoy them, video games shoudn't promote **** like this with sjw/gender propaganda or any other stuff. One more thing keep this Anita Sarkeesan away from game industry, she is out of her mind. The last but not least, I encourage all critics to get themselves a pair of balls to express their true opinions and thoughts about the game, have some self respect.… Expand

    El juego es una obra de arte. No puedo llegar a entender el odio que está recibiendo por ser la protagonista lesbiana. Espero encarecidamente que a los desarrolladores no les afecten las críticas negativas y sigan haciendo juegos como este.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What's good about it:
    -One of the most amazing graphics in game I've ever seen. You can see where 100 mil went
    -Gameplay is decent
    -You can turn on slowmo. Kills look very good that way
    What's bad:
    Oh boy, there's a lot. Visual flows:
    -Faces during gameplay. They are scary. It's like those videos where characters are with maximum expression: their eyes are popping out, they are really sad or really angry. Very strange.
    -Invisible walls in the places where they shouldn't be. I can understand invisible walls in forests but not on top of a crane (You can jump of it but if you try to throw a bottle to the left or right it'll break and not fall).
    Gameplay:
    -Jump button is mostly useless. It's not that frequently used and jump animation is wonky.
    -You get stunned if you get shot. Maybe there is more challenge because of it but for me it's mostly annoying. The game forces you to play more careful, you can't really run straight into the enemy anymore, just hide and wait. At least you can run away from them.
    -It's incredibly boring. If you played first bioshock, it's kind of the same experience. You go from one location to another killing similar enemies, looting them and killing them again. There are some interesting upgrades, but not a lot. As you progress you find different types of guns same as in bioshock were potions. But all of that is not enough to make killing similar enemies over and over again any entertaining.
    -Stupid AI. You can enter journalist mode by just laying down. Human npc won't be able to see you at all. They can even walk on you. F U N
    -Notes. Maybe it's just me but making any sort of exposition by placing notes that couldn't have been written in the kind of circumstances they were written is lazy. They're not even that interesting, exposition could've been done without them.
    -Without arrows it's difficult to navigate.
    Story (Spoilers up ahead):
    Jesus Christ it's atrocious. This game feels as a work of someone who surrounded themselves in a bubble of people who have the same "mindset" and no one was dare to argue with them.
    First 3 hours of exposition are already boring but they are probably necessary. Well anyhow, there is Abby who wants to kill Joel because he killed her father, when trying to escape with Ellie from the hospital. It's unfortunately almost all the character of Abby. Oh, and she is also very strong. She kills Joel in the first couple of hours and Ellie than tries to get revenge on her. Before killing Joel, she gets in trouble with zombies but Joel saves her (And immediately says who he is to her even though Joel said himself that the only one you can trust is yourself. Maybe its the old age?) After that Abby kills Joel in front of Ellie and Neil Druckmann selfinsert spits on the corpse of Joel. That small detail is actually how gamers and maybe developers feel about the characters. They are irrelevant. Well anyhow, for some reason, developers decided that it'll be a good idea to play an empty villain character for a half of the game. Every ending where Abby dies automatically becomes a good one, because you don't care about her one bit. She is strong. She is powerful. She got her revenge. That's it. All the side characters are even more underdeveloped or extremely unlikeable. Abby has a boyfriend who cheats on his own pregnant wife with her. Pregnant wife is barely a character. Selfinsert Druckmann is Spanish (it's all the character development). Abby along the way meets little trans boy Lev (trans and lgbt characters are thrown in there just for a tick) and his sister who quitted the Scars - a cultist group which everyone considers an enemy. She for some reason decides to help them, because they saved her life, even though Joel did the same. (Of course, Joel killed her father, but these people are almost random and can potentially be a threat. It's all just to make Abby a little more likable). Abby and Lev lose a lot of friends along the way. But not only they are forgettable to the audience, they are forgettable to characters themselves. Lev loses his mom and sister but as soon as they are out of sight he immediately forgets about them. Not a single word is heard from him. Same thing with Abby's and Ellie's friends. And when Abby gets her very slight character development Ellie doesn't. All she thinks about is revenge. So its even disturbing to see her in the end sparing life of Abby. She killed your father and friends, even bit of your fingers and you won't do anything about it? You killed all those people along the way just to not do anything? Like one youtube comment said:" It's like if John Wick killed all the bad guys for his dog and then decided to adopt a cat".
    Thank you Druckmann, I understand now. Violence is bad. What a valuable lesson. Actually, even when npcs die others scream the names of those npcs you just killed. Well, I guess I feel sorry now.
    Overall there are no interesting characters and you dont sympathise with anyone.    … Expand

Some are frustrating and some are so amazing you’ll be gasping for air. The gameplay is so smooth and the fight scenes are so real you feel like you can see every little movement with such detail. The story tugs on your emotions so much. I had some points I was jumping out of my seat and others I was grabbing the tissues. It is utterly beautiful and everything ND promises it would be. But you cant let the ultimate message go right past you. It is very thought provoking and really the ending is up to interpretation enjoy the game while you can still play it for a first time it’s worth it and you will never forget it if you don’t let one or two things prevent you from enjoying all of it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a beautiful masterpiece. When I first started part two I knew I was in for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride, given the first one made me feel so much for the characters we grew to love. But I also went in with an open mind because we were playing from another protagonist's perspective, meaning we had to experience new hardships and thoughts. And I believe that naughty dog has done a very good job with this game, giving us the chance not only to look at the series of events from Ellie's point of view but as well as our antagonist Abby as well. The combat is very smooth in this game, every zombie attack feels real, every gunfight makes you nervous. The graphics were out of this world from the blood, sweat, and tears. To the environment, we encountered throughout the game. The small things in this game such as playing guitar or experiencing a flashback make you sympathize with the characters and long for simpler times. I'd rate this game a 9.5/10… Expand

    This is a stupid game, adding lbgt things that had no purpose in the game, only to draw attention. Storyline was awful, and gameplay was just plain and repetitive. Only good thing about this one is the graphics, but you had to kill it with the cons.

    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]
