    Lesbian warfare is what this game should be called. Don't buy, complete trash, waste of money.

    Absolute joke of a game. I waited 7 years for ND to ruin what could have been the greatest game of all time. The game's story dosen't line up with the first game and neglected the crucial established character traits of the main characters is reminiscent of GOT's failure in season 8. Hopefully the game is revealed to just be a bad dream by ellie by the devs

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us 2 is definitely the game of the year. The game is AMAZING. You soon figure out why Abby killed Joel and you start to feel for her. Most of the player reviews are people who haven't even played the game yet. They just rate it low because they know Joel died. Some people are pathetic. This game is amazing so far and I love that ellie is a lesbian and I respect it. Why are people so mad and mean to this game? I don't understand. I give the game a ten out of ten.… Expand

    Os gráficos são bons, mas é uma dos piores roteiros da história dos games. Bastante forçado, criando ações ridículas, para justificar uma matança ridícula, para que na hora da vigança final, tenha um perdão ridículo. A única coisa que salva nesse jogo é a jogabilidade e os gráficos, o resto é lixo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. The story, the character development are so bad. The game looks amazing and the sound are phenomenal but i think that the main of this saga is the story and the characters and those parts of the game are totally ruined. If you kill one of the most beloved characters in the saga, early in the game and want to bring in another character to replace him, you have to give a story to them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's legit so sad how they ruined an incredible franchise just with a snap of fingers. I hate everything of it. People that defends this game just because of the graphics are indeed stupid. Graphics don't make the game, storylines do, mechanics do, etc.

    Not even 3 hours of game and they just kill Joel, with a freaking golf stick. He at first saves a member of some group and after that the hole group goes to a house, which Joel never have been there before! In the previous game we see how Joel is never confident about his location, he never feels comfortable, always doubting about everything, being always one step ahead about all situations, he is savage. But now, in this game, it's weird how a smart man transformed into a neglected man. He deserved better. Or even a honorable death if it's the "only" way to continue a story. A man that we all cared about, and we see his death in this miserable way, it hurts to see, to be honest.

    They also did false advertising in the trailer, putting in a lot of moments Joel, making it seem like he was going to live all along. But that of course didn't happen.
    Later Ellie looks for revenge, wanting to kill Abby (the person who killed Joel). Abby (no one knows why) left Ellie and Tommy escape (yep, they both watched the death of Joel... Well, Tommy was knocked out so... I guess just Ellie did), afterwards she goes after Ellie. They have a mini confrontation, and then when Abby had the opportunity of killing Ellie, you guessed it! She leaves again.
    Ellie is now going absolutely after her (Abby), in the process of getting to her, Ellie kills 4 (or more, sorry if i counted wrongly) of her friends.

    At the end Ellie finds Abby like like a Jesus model in a wooden stake. She saves her of the stake, Abby gets a friend that was on the same situation, they go to a boats that where at the shore. Before Abby and his sleepy friend leave on the boat, Ellie then decides to fight... Punches there, punches over there, ok. Ellie is about to kill her by drowning her, the moment we all expected, the revenge we were all looking for through all the game, this revenge was the aim of the story... But well, you know how this turned up... Ellie is about to kill her, but a flash of Joel playing the guitar appears, and for some reason we can't really understand, Ellie stops drowning her and she let her go leave, the main purpose of the story was to finish her. Why? That doesn't make any sense. If this was real, if you get a flash of someone you love and you have the person who took that other person from you... Wouldn't you get even more pissed off and kill her at the instant? This thing of "killing is bad" doesn't make sense because you just killed a bunch of people just to get to the main objective, you can't use the moral when you want, because that's not hoe it works! It just looks too forced.

    Another thing is the orientation of the protagonist, Ellie. The problem is not that she is homosexual/bisexual, the problem is that they don't normalize it, even at the start they talked about how she kissed a girl... Like, we don't care, is fine if you like whatever you like, but don't put it every time in coalition. If Ellie was a heterosexual girl, probably we wouldn't see a lot of conversation at all over her oriented sexuality. I really think they use the topics of the LGBTQ+ topics just for marketing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es muy simple lo unico que deberian haber hecho es dividir las historias, muestrenme a abby como lo que es desde la posicion de ellie pero no se salgan de esa historia en ningun momento mover esa muerte tan asquerosamente mal hecha en el inicio y ponerla directamente en el final y despues desbloqueamos a abby. es tu eleccion el elegirla como personaje y si quieres seguir como ellie seguiras como ellie en su historia hasta la parte final en la cual se encuentra con abby denuevo, en ese punto pasa todo el rollo de la venganza y ves al niño, no lo conoces pero sabes que seguramente lo recluto en su ruta, en la pelea final tener la eleccion de matar a abby seria un puntaso por que seria una eleccion irremediable asi que si jugaste con ellie antes literalmente no podrias ganar el la ruta de abby dejando a esta saga donde se merece en algo unico y especial pero prefirieron desordenar la historia, darnos momentos el control de abby sin ningun tipo de motivo y nosotros tener que derrotar a ellie que si lo planteas asi, yo como jugador no voy a querer que gane abby… Expand

    There gameplay is smooth as butter, the visuals are breathtaking. The story narrative is the best I've seen in a game for years. If you don't like this game it's either because they're gay and you can't handle it, because you like games that are all action and no story or because you're a simp.

    Like the first game and it’s DLC, this isn’t a game that everyone will enjoy and is in fact even more divisive than the first.

    The game is **** trash story-wise, sure graphics and gameplay, same **** as the TLoU 1, compering gen to gen but this game was never about the gameplay it was about the story. Garbage, probably some amateur story writer would write something better than this **** trash.

    Too SJW. Focus on content instead of pandering. Less focus is going into good games rather than pandering to the lowest common denominator.

    It's not the story that those who played the first part was expecting but it is FOR ME is perfect for the characters. The addition of Abby as playable character is much as good as Ellie's. However they didn't made the same decision as far as revenge goes. Kudos to Naughty Dog's team.

    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]
