    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really hated this game when I first went through the whole thing. What bothered me the most was the ending, not only does Ellie not kill Abby but just lets her go.. but it was the fact that Ellie was literally left with nothing. Dina is gone who knows where, Joel is dead (and the way they killed him was TRASH), AND WHAT HIT ME GARD WAS THE FACT THAT ELLIE CANT EVEN PLAY THE GUITAR ANYMORE REALLY..SO SAD And of course I wish The writing went a different way I hated the writing at first but now watching the interview with Ashley explaining their technically wasn’t really a true villain in this game and you’re really all of them in the interview explaining the point of you and how to take away the plight really made me look at it different in put a higher score of this game because it made me not think about it too emotionally. but what I said in my original rating still stands specifically about wanting the part three PLEASE DO A PART lll… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is a game that does well to challenge your perspective and gives you the choice to think beyond your own side.

The player is given all of the tools needed to express empathy, but it is ultimately their choice whether they choose to do so or not, which is respectful to the their ability of thought. The people we don’t know is much more humanized compared to the first game, and each important character is meticulously written to have multiple layers to their character. Many events may initially seem overall pointless to the story, but if the player keeps an open mind and analyzes how these points are executed, these same events seem to serve much larger roles to the overall plot. The gameplay is incredibly fluent, whether it be stealth or full gunfights. Your freedom to be aggressive, passive, or anywhere in between is encouraged, and your chosen playstyle will likely be an option. Absolutely stunning game… Expand

Many negative reviews are from people who have not finished the game. Second, some negative reviews do have valid points when it comes to gameplay. For example, playing as Abby for ten hours felt tedious at times. The writers were a little heavy-handed attempting to make the audience sympathize with her. Ellie. But there are some very good fights while playing as Abby. The gameplay itself is fluid, very accessible, and some of the best naughty dog has made. The story is not as good as the first, but it has plenty of high points. Many people seem incapable of analyzing this story with any sort of depth, they just scream about how it did not align with their expectations. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is fantastic, and the story is still much better than most video games out there. The game is 100% worth playing, it may not be as strong of a narrative as the first one, but it is powerful in its own way. Solid 8.… Expand

    A heartbreaking tale, most certainly to leave you in tears by the end. If you ever felt ridiculed in your life because of you sexuality, or even judge others. Then it's about time you play this game.

    Fantastic gameplay, beautiful graphics, amazing captivating story. they have really built up the world where part 1 left off. Some great, well developed new characters and alot of loose ends tied off. After completing this for the first time I can say with absolute conviction that this is a defining game for this generation of console. Probably the most I have enjoyed any game on the ps4. 10/10

Le jeu a un scénario très particulier qui peut plaire à certains comme ne pas plaire a d’autre mais c’est le choix qu’il ont décidé de prendre et je pense qu’il on fait le bon choix . Ce scénario m’a profondément touché par ce que il nous montre que il a pas de méchant ou de gentil c’est juste le point de vu qui définit si le personnage est méchant ou pas c’est à dire que c’est ni tout blanc ni tout noir. Bref un jeu qui a sut surpasser le Première opus par son scénario digne d’un très bon film mais c’est une tout autre aventure que l’on va vivre dans cette suite direct qui est rempli de haine et de vengeance un jeu ou particulièrement on ressent la rage de cette "héroïne" qui vient de perdre en quelque sorte son père adoptif Joel sous ses yeux abattus par cette femme une fin aussi banal pour notre héro du premiere opus mais qui rend ce jeu encore plus réaliste comme quoi dans le monde de the last of us personne est a l’abri . Le jeu nous laisse aussi sur une fin assez ouverte ou va mais aussi sans doute tres triste car Ellie a la pire fin possible elle finie seule sa pire phobie.Le jeu m’a fait vivre des émotions inoubliables c’est pour cela que je lui attribue cette note mais aussi Parceque je me suis beaucoup attaché a ces personnages et que le fait de les revoir évoluer m’a drôlement fait plaisir.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU 2 de principio a fin te llena de intriga y de constantes reflexiones. Considero que en la parte en donde conocemos a Abby, es en donde empezamos a comprender más que escenas anteriores, las consecuencias de la venganza. Una historia que brilla por si sola, no se le puede comparar con la primera entrega, puesto a que la parte 1 tiene lo suyo y brilla también por sus propios méritos. Esta entrega, en mi opinión, pone en un contexto mucho más realista a los personajes, logrando contagiar un sin fin de emociones. El final, totalmente desgarrador y reflexivo. Observar como cuando ya todo esta perdido muchas veces, incluso la venganza que en un principio fue motor del desarrollo de toda la trama, pierde sentido al reflexionar sobre si de verdad vale aún la pena lograr dicho cometido. Un gran juego con un gran final.… Expand

    More refined combat from original TLOU with best visuals I've ever seen. Story is quite a mixed bag and definitely could've been improved with some small changes to events and the pacing, but overall I do not get the hate for this game. First game's story was a lot more solid I believe, but this game still holds it's own and is certainly worth playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly i got into the game thinking it's complete garbage and what i saw was astounding. I was actually amazed by the detail of the game. When i actually went deeper to see why the game is hated, like 50% of them are because Eliie is gay? Seriously? Like are humans that abysmally pathetic now? Our race is homophobic against a video game character? 2nd thing was false marketing, which i have to agree on, was pretty bad on their part. But false marketing doesn't make the game bad, it makes the developers bad. I noticed that half the people didn't even play the game, like literally, some comments were "the controls are hard", "the story is monotone", "the characters are dumb" and then the same people go on saying how Doom Eternal was the most original game ever (no offense, like the game, but that's just false). All and all Joel's death was explained and it has a legitimate reason, he isn't killed just because. The story is nowhere near bad written imo. The characters are pretty iconic and i definitely don't mind Ellie being gay, i actually understand it in an apocalyptic world. You really can't pick whatever you want, so you are more welcome to experiencing new stuff. right?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the game 3 days ago and earned the platinum trophy too just yesterday, it took me some time to process the game and the ending, and in my opinion there couldnt have been a better ending.. and yes one thing i was pissed about was Joels death, its not that ppl are enraged that u killed joel, they are upset because of the way they killed Joel. Ppl should realise that the game revolves around hatred and revenge, and both ellie and abbys story run parallel, at one hand ellie is furious and enraged wanting to get revenge crossing every obstacle in her way and at the other hand Abby is struggling after the stuff that went through, point is NO ONE IS THE GOOD GUY HERE, its the hate and coping with losing a loved one, the ending also in my opinion couldn't be better because if ellie would have killed abby, im sure she wont feel satisfied considering that she saw abby taking care of Lev, plus Abby has lost enough, all her friends family, she wasnt in the WLF anymore and all that, Sure ellie killed all the friends and did violent **** but that was in s fit of rage and anger, thats what naughty dog forced us to do to feel the anger, in the end Ellie was the bigger person cuz she didnt kill abby, in conclusion id giv this game a 9/10, notice how i only talked about story here yeh because if i start talking about the gameplay ill be here all day, the gameplay was **** sick and fun as ****… Expand

They took a beloved game setting and destroyed it for no real reason. No one wants to play the person who kills your favorite character ... no one. Even the talented Laura Bailey could not bring me to like like Abby. Let us be honest her, they screwed this up so that they would not have to maker another one...period. They obviously do not care for their fans so they probably despised having to make a part two.… Expand

    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.
