    If you rate this game lower than 7, you are either a very incompetent reviewer and/or a hateful, homophobic troll.
    The first one was one of the best video games, and this one delivers on the same great level. Great atmosphere, storytelling and action. Intense and emotional scenes included.

    En cierta parte el juego se vuelve un poco largo aunque igual justifica por lo que uno pagó por aquel juego.
    Jugabalilidad aceptable y por último para entender bien la historia hay que jugar la entrega anterior y tener una comprensión y concentración a las partes de la historia porque por que juego representa, no es para ada sencillo entenderlo a la primera    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, first of all, I enjoyed playing both as Ellie and Abby, the game does show the reason why Abby killed Joel, Joel did ruin humanity after all and killed her dad. Joel got old so that might be the reason why he trusted the "new" people. In the end, you have a fight against Abby but don't kill her because Abby literally gave up everything to save this little boy called "Lev" and Ellie still has a heart and you can see because it shows Joel while she is drowning Abby and she stops drowning Abby. Both deserved better. After all, it's a good game, it has good graphics for ps4 and the sound is amazing as well, recommend playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    Just disappointing
    I played the first game back in 2013 on ps3 and i was just amazed how beautiful the narrative was and how complex and detailed each character was, for me it was the best game I’ve ever played. Then I decided not to buy xbox one and buy ps4 just because I wanted to experience this game once more on the next gen console. And since then I've total of 8 playthroughs and    Just disappointing

And since then I've total of 8 playthroughs and another 2 on the left behind. I loved that game so much that I get bored of it. Then when part 2 was announced I wasn’t sure if I wanna play because the ending of the first was so perfect that I thought Niel Druckmann would just ruin it if he tried to continue it ( If it ain’t broke don’t fix it ) Then it came out and every single idea they put in the first game they just kill it in this one, they’re trying so hard to spoil everything you loved about the characters. I got to a point where I don’t know what am I playing. And I can’t event get back and play the first part because it’ll remind me of how bad the second one is So my advice to you if you haven’t played it and you love the first one just don’t try to ruin your experience by playing this, trust me it’s not worth it    … Expand

    Thank you naghty dog for making me fall into your trap called 'The Last of Us Part II'.
    I gave this game a 6 being nice, i could give it less.
    4 for making fantastic 10Hours of gameplay and thrilling story and just nice, Ellie is just incredible
    1+ for graphis(just 1 because after Ucharted 4 it was expected)
    1+ for an Incredible soundTrack, just amazing!!
    -2 for killing joe after like 2/3h in the game, F*** Off
    -2 for another 13h of pure sh*t
    I don't wanna play half of the game with Abby f*ck her, she's the goddamn antagonist
    I just didn't get the ending, where do we stand for Ellie, Dina and her son, Emocionally, Location??

    The gameplay is a great step up from the original, with tense, fluid gameplay in some seriously anxiety inducing encounters.

    I think if I was to have any criticisms, it would be that at some minor points it does drag a little too long, which is a similar criticism I had to some points of Uncharted 4, but I don’t think this is enough to bring it down from a 10 at all.

    10/10 doesn’t mean perfect, it never has and never will. If that was the case, no game would ever be allowed to receive a 10/10, as no game is truly perfect, not even the original The Last of Us.

    A genuine masterpiece in my eyes, with a brilliant story, top tier graphics and animations, and tense, engaging combat and stealth mechanics.    … Expand

    И вот, спустя неделю после релиза я её закончил, при том, что хотел её побыстрее пройти для написания этого поста. А всем тем, кто ставил оценки в первые секунды после релиза советую просто пойти и поиграть.

    Игра потрясающая. От геймплея, который начинается как логичное продолжения фильма, до спорного сюжета, который и вправду не однозначный.

    Начнём с того, что Нил Дракман обманул всех фемок и сделал игру про фантастическое будущее, где наступил матриархат. Что же нас ждёт в таком будущем? Множество женщин, которые делают необдуманные поступки, что приводят к смертям множества людей. Месть просто потому, что у них менструация.

    Графика - ещё один плюс в копилку Нила Дракмана. Народ, вы видели прорисовку собак? Каждая шерстинка нарисована в ручную, а массовку женщин? Такое впечатление, что они были скатаны с первой части Uncharted...

    Геймплей. Мне показалось или у женщин в этой игре (кроме главных персонажей) никогда нету огнестрельного оружия? Всегда они стреляют или с лука или идут в рукопашный бой, но огнестрельное оружие всегда дают мужчинам.

    И таких "дьяволов в деталях" просто огромное количество, что резюмирует один простой вывод: Игра от мужчины для мужчин. Это великий протест всему феминистическому сообществу который наглядно иллюстрирует то, куда может привести матриархат.
    P.S. Девятка только из-за того, что мужчина отводиться так мало времени. Можно было бы сравнить два общества и показать, что патриархат вырывается вперёд    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry for my English!

    I isolated myself from social medias since the 19th June till the moment I walked the game through to avoid spoilers. I haven't seen any leaks and didn't watch the trailer just because I forgot about it. I experienced so much emotions, roller coasters, felt sad and powerful, happy and bitter.

    I was really shocked to see so many hateful and aggressive comments, people are writing threats to authors, calling players who enjoyed the game dumb, destroying discs...

    Joel's death hit me hard, I really love him and his relationship with Elly are just a treasure. But that's why it was a base for a story about the hate - opposition of the first game which was about the love. In other way we couldn't share Elly's grief, though her relationships with Dina, Jessy and Tommy are sweet and warm too - we don't know them as good as we knew Joel.

    I witnessed a death of the beloved person and it haunted me for a long time. Everything reminded me about that day, music, certain food, hospitals, people who reminded me him. I felt like I'm forgetting his face and voice, that everything that left are memories about his last minutes, his last breath. It took a lot of years to cope, but now I think and talk about our greatest memories only, our jokes, movies we enjoyed, journeys we made. He left, but it doesn't change my love for him.

    Revenge never brings happiness, never erases the past. Elly waited for a relief, feeling that she did everything right. But one more death and one more child left alone will not fix anything. A moment when Elly remembered Joel playing guitar hit me hard again. For long months she couldn't remember his sight, all her dreams and thoughts were about his brutal murder, how she couldn't do anything to help him. But without killing Abby her emotions came back. Joel is in her manners, skills, hobbies - he is with her all the time. I literally cried remembering my own grief and understanding Elly's feelings at this moment. At the beginning I felt very uncomfortable playing for Abby, it was obvious from the first scene that she'll be a problem. And though I wanted back to Elly's route too, I enjoyed scenes on stadium, flashbacks about her silly, but kind father, her simple and natural a fear of the height, her inner fight to trust two young seraphites. She didn't get a relief after the revenge too - nightmares, a very risky help to enemies. Even her braid being cutted is like a symbol that she's not invincible or the most strong, somebody don't even need a clear motive to use or hurt you.

    Game is not trying to make you to hate Joel - we saw by ourselves what he did. Maybe it was a real hope for a humanity and certainly was a tragedy for families and Fireflies. Nobody can accept or justify his actions - but we all understand why he did it. For a person you love you're ready to turn the whole world upside down. Flashbacks were a best surprise for me. Maybe till the end Elly didn't "see" them, she needed to cope to accept them again in the heart.

    I spent five amazing evenings with this story and going to reach the platinum. I'm just sad how rude some people act.

    P. S. Remember that Elly loves dogs too, she petted one in Jackson and one of her gift guesses was a puppy. Also in the farm sketches she had a dog.    … Expand

    Most people who rate the game are people who saw the leaks and never played the game. Although I did see the leaks and still enjoyed the game. Its story is not as good but Im mostly someone who just plays games for the gameplay cuz that's what you do in video games play them not just sit there and watch 3 hours of cutscenes that you cant play only watch the story play it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I completed the game on hard mode, in about 25 hours. Here's some insight to my experience.
    Pros:
    -This game was gorgeous. Everything had stunning detail, the animations and visuals were beautiful. Some is the best of this generation.
    - The gameplay was very similar to the first game, yet added some new variations of weapons, upgrading and gameplay style. Whether if you played stealthily or as a brawler. I particularly enjoyed the segments of fighting the infected. It was challenging , yet enjoyable. I thought the shambler enemy was annoying, but the bloaters were terrifying and extremely fun fight against. The rat king was EXTREMELY fun to fight. An infected since day 1? Gets the mind going, like how did that many infected fuse together? It's crazy.
    -The best part of the story that made me happy were the moments that were shared with Joel and Ellie. When Joel sang for Ellie that melted my heart. After he was gone, she played that song which brought out sadness, knowing that he is gone. It was sad to see how Ellie grew to have disdain for Joel after their time together . Bringing saves out of me. Bringing emotion in a game is a plus.

    Cons:
    Joels death was cheap. I hated how he was killed. There was no context in his death . Then forcing the player to play as the killer. Abby's segment was backwards, the flashback of her father's death should've been first, then we would've known that Joel killed him in the hospital. Knowing that Joel might die by Abby's hand. The story could've been so much better.

    Conclusion:
    This is a good game. I just believe Naughty Dog told the story backwards. We saw struggle, and grief with both Ellie and Abby. If Abby was portrayed in a better light, then maybe her segment wouldn't have been so tedious. Overall, with everything together, I believe it's a good game. Definitely a game that will divide the fandom. I will continue to play it and platinum it. Though, many people won't enjoy it. ND could've done better by Joel, and Abby's story. Overall it's a good game, not Great.    … Expand

The game seemed fine until you are forced to play as this terrible monster, Abby, and then forced to SPARE HER LIFE at the end. What a waste of time. Why play a game that's all about revenge only to not get it at the end? I waited this many years for this? To see Joel get brutally murdered for no reason right off the bat, a character that was perfect and beautiful, then see his murderer get spared, without a choice of your own? How disgusting! Revenge was the answer here. Without it, the game is a waste of time and a meaningless story. Only giving it a 2 for graphics.… Expand

    The gameplay is amazing and the graphics are even better.
    I personally liked the story and how it was told. I felt a lot, and i think that's important.
    My only complain is that, as the previous game, the writers of this story have once again treated the Non-White characters awfully. There's an underlying racism that makes the experience quite less enjoyable. Also, the use of the slur against lesbians and the constant use of the Deadname of the trans character was just... meaningless. I understand is a game about cruelty and violence, but these things, as a LGBTQ person, are really out of place. You can address these things without triggering people.
    Nothing else to say, i don't think people are complaining about the right stuff.    … Expand

    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.
