    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im soo UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED. waited before i write this review to finish the game with hopes that it could redeam itself with such a memorable ending. But everything in this game was a disappointment from SPOILER ALERT you know who's death and the stupid LGBT bs that they kept shoving in my face.
    I dont mind that BUT I wouldve wished they wouldnt have done it the way they did. It seemed they tried to replace JOEL WITH THIS RELATION WITH THAT STUPID GIRL (which i never gave a **** about in the first place).
    There was the time they made a teaser and showing Joel and ellie and EVERYONE WAS HAPPPY TO SEE THEM but then you decide to kill him in like 2 hours ? such a meaningless death by a meaningless charactor well played ruining his legacy in our hearts. I DONT MIND JOEL DIEING but maybe make it more heroic like ellie gets captured in order to BAIT JOEL. Joel goes in to save here and be a bad ass just one more time and during the rescue he gets shot and bleeds out till death SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD'VE BEEN SO COOL... JOEL DIEING TO SAVE HER, The idea of saving Ellie one last time would've been mind blowingly amazing. I thought of this in 2 minutes and you couldn't have made it any better in 7 **** YEARS. Disappointed and never try to make a revenge game again you honestly suck at it NAUGHTY DOG    … Expand

    Это просто ужас! Разработчики, вы уже задолбали со своей темой ОЗЛОБЛЕННЫХ ДУР (СИЛЬНЫХ И НЕЗАВИСИМЫХ ЖЕНЩИН) на весь мир. Знаете что, вот пусть они и покупают этот ШЛАК!

    Yeah, it looks pretty (which is nothing new these days) and its game-play is completely "meh" considering that is basically the same that we saw in the first game.

    The really important aspect of "The Last of Us" as a game, and now franchise, was the story and the relationship between the main characters. On this sequel, everything that people loved was utterly destroyed and literally spitted out by the developers. The worst part? They made it on purpose.

    "The Last of Us Part II" is the most recent and important proof of what happens when the developers are most concerned about "subvert expectations" than telling a good story. If this game wasn't named "The Last of Us" no one would be defending this poor excuse of a plot.

    If the critics are allowed (and of course paid) to exaggerate the good aspects of the game to give it a 10/10. The fans are allowed to exaggerate the bad aspects of it to give it a 0/10.

    This game and apparently the Naugthy Dog of these days, represent everything that is wrong with the industry and its just sad. But hey, my expectations where indeed subverted since I thought it would be a good sequel and story and resulted being trash.    … Expand

Well. whats the point in even trying sugar coat this. the game is horrible. way too basic you can almost turn of your brain and you will win the game nonetheless. Poor poor Joel. Also it was supposed to be a post apocalyptic game... most of the political propaganda in it is... well... BAD to say the least the ending is even more horrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Estou completamente devastado.

    Era pra ser o melhor jogo da história dos videogames mas, não passou de uma enorme decepção.

    Preferia ter visto a história pelo youtube do que ter gasto quase 300 reais na pré venda!

    Os gráficos são belíssimos, o game design é estonteante e a iluminação é de encher os.olhos... mas a história e o desenvolvimento de personagens são superficiais demais! Quê decepção!
    Quê tristeza!

    Damn those leaks weren’t kidding, but even then holy **** this is God awful. Even if you get past all the sjw crap the game still sucks. The story is mind numbingly boring and exhausting, I’d argue that the gameplay has gotten worse somehow, and the graphics look about the same as tlou1 (not the remastered version).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite all the review bombing (on both sides, positive and negative), I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and give my honest review. I try to keep it vague, but I couldn't keep it 100% spoiler-free.

    If you think this game deserves anything close to a 9 or 10, but have not yet beaten it, you really need to do that first. The first half of the game is incredible, but it takes a nosedive after Seattle Day 3. You'll know exactly what I mean when/if you get there. If you have gone through it all and still think it's a masterpiece, then that's great. Congrats on having your perfect sequel, and for being part of the 3% of players that have the "completed the game" trophy. Anyway, onto my review.

    Throughout the first half of the game, Ellie is hunting certain named NPCs. You either find them dead or kill them yourself, all in pursuit of a High Value Target. There are some incredible parts here. For example, Seattle Day 1 has an incredible free-roam section, and there are flashbacks to Joel and Ellie that really make you see where the 10/10s come from.

    The second half, though, tries to humanize those already-dead named NPCs via an obscene amount of flashbacks. It tries to make you feel bad that they're now dead, whether it was by your hands or not. This falls flat, though, because not only are they 6 hours too late to try to get you to feel for these people, but the reasons you're hunting them in the first place are very good ones, that most players will agree with.

    In the end, the High Value Target gets to walk away, because the game assumes by now that you feel bad for doing what you did. It doesn't matter that you were *forced* to do it by the game, it's your fault.

    If this was any other game, it'd be maybe a 7 or 8, but it's The Last of Us Part II. They completely **** over beloved characters to make this mediocre plot with a cliche message happen.

    The gameplay is fun, the character-on-character dialogue is great, the graphics look great, the RPG mechanics are well-fleshed-out, but the overall plot is so unforgivably bad to me that it kills the whole game, because the reason I consider The Last of Us to be one of the best games of all time is due to it's plot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished game on "Hard" on PS4 PRO

    Pros:
    Nice graphics, when it's not bugging out
    Nice animations, when they are finishing properly and not clipping
    Nice sound design

    Cons:
    Graphics is buggy - frequent shimmering of reflections, visible LODs, sometimes textures do not load in hires for minutes, occasional props made from literally 3 polygons, breaks immersion all the time
    Animations can be very unnaturaly canceled when transitioning to one another, models sometime cant let go of objects from previous animations
    Gameplay is still same from tlou, NPC is still dumb, you can deal with every encounter by sitting in one corner and "stockpiling" bodies cuz dumb enemies just go straight to their dead allies without flanking or waiting for help, all my death was to scuffed controls (like looting box instead of grabbing enemy)
    Worst part is the story, its full with bad character development, awkward phrasing, plot holes and out-of-character moves - Dina moves from "first kiss" to sex and " i will go on a suicide mission with u" in ~48h? Joel risks his and brother lives to save some stranger? Tommy forces Elly to go on a suicide revenge trip twice? Secnod time in very rude manner & while Elly has family? Etc. Some small things, like Elly never mentions death of hers horse, which was wtih her for at least 4 years? List goes on ...

    Ending is garbage - "right/good" act cant be truly appreciated without freedom of choice, wich developers could done with ease, not to mention that this sudden change feels strange and out of place

    This game is probably 4/10, but i give it a 0 to compensate for 1010 fanboys and out of contempt to misleading marketing wtih Joel in every trailer and "CINEMATIC COMBAT WITH SMART OPPONENTS".

    Better stay away from this game if u value your money and time, good games dont get review-bombing.    … Expand

    A mediocre story without an interesting conflict between the two main characters

    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]
