    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game should have ended the same way God of War 3 did. They did a terrible job making you relate to Abby. If I was able to kill her at the end the same way you get to kill Zeus, and Ellie didn't get her fingers bit off I would give the game a least an 8/10 but they ruined it. Naughty dog used to be one of my favorite video game developers but they just lost a fan. They ruined one of my favorite games. It's a revenge story without revenge I don't care if they wanted to get their revenge is bad story across, it's just a bad dissatisfying story that literally made me depressed after. It's a damn game for crying out loud! I don't want to leave a damn game feeling empty! I'm going to pretend this trash does not exist and Joel and Ellie live in Tommy's town together without any disturbance. F*** you Naughty Dog and Neil.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know many people will say you're an idiot, You're not a real gamer whatever, but I think that people just hate the game because of the Death of Joel and The Final Part and just because of that they said it is a waste of money. So let's recap what happens in the game:
    Abby wants to kill Joel because he killed her dad when Joel saved Ellie in the final part of the past game, so Ellie goes after her for revenge, but in the end, Ellie forgives her and let her go.
    The Main Problem: Joel's Death
    I'm really sure that many people didn't even play the game, they just saw the death of Joel and threw the disk like a frisbee. a lot of people say: "why the hell does Joel would go inside the cabin and said his name, a very strong detail that many of you didn't notice was that Joel Changed, he is not the same person he was after Sarah's death, and you can really notice this at the beginning of the game, Joel says to Ellie a joke and sings to her, the mercenary Joel would never say a joke and less sing.
    Ellie really changed Joel. and maybe it was just me or maybe there were a few people that thought that Joel Would die in this game, I thought that and i agree with you he deserved a better death but what characters in The Last of Us had a glorious death, none.
    Another valuable point than again many people didn't even care was the fact that the relationship between Ellie and Joel changed after Joel said to Ellie the truth about he did their relationship broke and you may say Ellie it is so ungrateful. but when Ellie saw how the guys that left Jackson ended she maybe thought that if the fireflies made the cure this wouldn't happen, that she could change that, and when Joel said to her the truth she broke.
    and now the Finale.
    Like the director said this game was about to empathize that's why you control Abby in the game. If you think this through, Joel would do the same if Ellie or Tommy were the ones that are dead in the game. Joel would Hunt that person and kill him just like Abby did to Joel Hunt Him and Kill him, and when I was playing the final Part I didn't want to kill Abby.
    So to Resume because I still don't know how to explain this in the way I want. The Last of Us Part II
    It is a good game, of course, it has their mistakes and script holes but you have to consider ALL THE GAME TO MAKE A FINAL DECISION not just play until the part where they kill Joel and cut the disk    … Expand

    Joel, the most favoured character of the First installment, all of a sudden feels like he has dementia or some form of mental disability. All character logic goes out the window to create unrealistic and dramatised situations.

    The driving point for the narrative with Ellie having virus immunity was interesting and helped unfold the first story. That is now irrelevant.

    Naughty Dog would say"It's a game, you need to play it to understand", well I have... Unfortunately destroying my most beloved franchise .

    It's literally just propaganda, brave new world crap. The game itself is about as average as the first, but the story is straight up propaganda. Very creepy game. Watch a lets play to see what kind of art you'll be getting in the next 20 years from this social justice book burning culture, or lack there of. Truly this is a work of psychopathy and the authoritarian mindset of radical leftists.

    Technically very good, but the story is an out and out abomination.
    It destroys everything that was wonderful and enjoyable about the first game and replaces it with a cast of unlikeable characters and gender rubbish.

    After finally finishing the game I can say this is truly one of the best games I've ever played.Where some might have not enjoyed the way the story turned out (Which is fair) I wish it didn't turn out this way, but that doesn't mean I didn't like the game, because the game is **** amazing, probably the best looking games ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Game will probably be one of my favorite games of 2020. Now I'm not saying this game is better than the first game. But, it is still really Amazing. Ellie story is done in my opinion a well done way. Everything from the flashback to the ending made sense to me. Now the only critic I had for this game was that we play as Abby. To me I understand why we play as Abby because there are two sides to every coin but, I wish her story would have been cut down to make room for Ellie's story instead. Or better yet make her story a cutscene based story happening while Ellie story is happening. Another thing I see people complaining about is the ending and I get that but it makes sense. During the prologue Joel sings to Ellie before giving her the guitar. He states that " If I ever were to lose you. I'd surely lose myself." To me that is exactly what happened to Ellie. We see at the beginning of the story that Ellie is just trying to live a normal life the best she can. But, when Joel dies that world is shattered. When she deals with all the people that helped kill Joel you see she starts to break down because of some of the actions she took. Then we finally track down Abby again where we have our last fight. WHen she is about to kill Abby I believe when she sees Joel she realises that if she countinuess she will lose herself. She will be no better than Abby was. Risking her friends lives just to get revenge. When she returns to Her and Dinas farm, Dina and JJ are not there. She even tries to play the song Joel sang to her during the prologue but she is unable to since she lost her ring and pinky finger to Abby in their last fight. She truly did lose herself but she came back from it. Then we see Ellie put her guitar down and we see her walking away from the house from the window hopefully heading back to Jackson to possibly reunite with Dina and JJ. It makes sense that Ellie after everything finally realises that she did lose herself and now she is on a path to regain the person she once was. This ending to me made sense and was actually a fitting end to the story. This game was not perfect but, I don't believe it should receive all the hate it's getting. If you loved the first game I Highly Recommend that you get this game as well. This is definitely another top notch game by NaughtyDog.… Expand

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 !!?!?!

    Absolute technological marvel from the whole technical team at Naughty Dog. The level of quality and skill of craft is seen from beginning to end and I cannot praise this high enough. Even on the base PS4 you will be in awe as you explore the varied environments over the course of the game. The world comes alive from trash on the streets, clutter in the houses, light sources that react to everyday materials and nature, textures and meshes that mimic real life, foliage breaking through cracks of a collapsed society, and sound design that brings you into the brutal world you know from the first game.

    Unfortunately, the experience is ruined by poor writing and story telling from the first death to the last, through hundreds of infected, humans, and even animals. The progress of story telling jumps all over the place, characters are dull and only introduced to throw into the meat grinder, and everything is misery for the sake of shock. Characters from all representations are introduced over the course of the game which is a great step forward for all groups, but actually sympathizing or caring about them will be a hard sell for many. You will be angry, frustrated, and wanting to rush through much of the story in attempts to bring back focus for another character.

    The game reads like an attempt to be but falls on its head with a hard fail of an ending that is left open for more of the same in the future. Some major restructuring would have done this game some benefits and likely avoided how it is being absolutely **** on right no by the general majority. Is this saying that review bombing is good in this case? No. I want to warn people; The trailers cannot be trusted and have edited footage for pushing sales.

    I cannot recommend this game. If you were a fan of the first just leave it as that. If you come into this you will feel like walking away by hour 3. You will have half of the 25 hours playtime (on average) in this state of mind. This is by-design and in no way to the benefit of the player.

    The Last of Us was lightning in a bottle and will not happen again at the Naughty Dog studio under the current director and writers. Violence is bad and we all know it and this isn't introducing new concepts or becoming an instance classic. You are hurting your existing brand and will only be remembered for that.    … Expand

    The first game was great. It really saddens me how they betrayed the memories of the fantastic characters that they established from the first game. The story makes no sense at all and in the end you feel as if the whole game is pointless. The graphics look great, but this is the type of game where the story is really important and unfortunately it is a real disappointment.

The characters are really well written, even if some aren’t as likeable as the first game. The dynamics between certain characters aren’t as strong as Joel and Ellie in the first game, but they are still enjoyable to watch and learn about. The flashbacks sprinkled throughout the game were what really sold the game to me. The first two hours of the game really set the mood for the rest of the game, because a lot of the game was painful to play through at points. And surprisingly I actually enjoyed playing as Abby and seeing the human sides of the people that you were after throughout the game. Even though I felt like as a player I spent a little bit too much time playing as Abby. Overall the game is not as bad as it was made out to be, by leaks and by the reviews, and the “agenda” that almost every negative review mentions isn’t as prominent as they cry about and is not a large factor in the game. The trans character is briefly touched on in one sentence and that’s all that’s mentioned of it, even though it was hinted at during gameplay. Also not a Naughty Dog dick rider, just loved the game.… 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...
