Couple with that one of the most satisfying and engaging gameplay loops available on PS4 and you have nothing less than one of the greatest games ever made. There has never been another game quite like it, and I expect that it will remain a standout for generations to come.… Expand

    Beautiful game, spot on voice acting, sub-par story with any sense of achievement or fulfilment from playing the game through to completion denied to you. I know that this was the story you wanted to tell and you told it well, but it wasn't at all the story I wanted to play through so that's a fat return. :(

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great story. So realistic in that people don't get avengers style death speeches. It shows people are flawed. Ellie loses her way in not handling grief well, just like a real human. It's heavy, it's dark, but that is refreshing after a decade of neatly tied up stories where everyone gets their happy endings.… Expand

I wondered, are the writers just trying to make this girl the most unlikeable protagonist ever? Then when I saw how they were presenting the new protagonist and how it seemed she was the real hero (and Ellie the real villian) which made sense to me, but I still didn't like it. Nevertheless, I wanted to finish and I have to say honestly, I do not regret it. I believe the game really picks up after the half way point and things just become more interesting for me. At the end of the story I shed tears for everything that had happened, and all the consequences. This is not the greatest game ever, and I don't think it's better than the first, but it is worthy... This is by no means a happy story. Still, if you played the first, you don't HAVE to play this one...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only and I can’t stress enough on ONLY given this game a three star review and that is pushing it like genuine review probably 4.5 - 5 out of 10 and that is solely based on the parts where you play as Ellie, and the gameplay as a whole because if you liked/loved TLOU the gameplay is more or less the same and being a guitar fan I do like the little snippets of Ellie’s new talent being put on show, but that is where the good in this game ends completely, but I’ll explain.

    I felt lied to from the trailers and overwhelming disappointed in the direction they chose for this game, I absolutely hate and I mean actually hate the character Abby and wanted nothing more than to stop her from breathing in the game I don’t give a rats arse about her backstory, maybe if she was in the first game and it was about her, but no, she is the invader and she is a psychopathic monster that I just wanted the closure of killing her to end that game, but even if I did get that when finishing the game there is absolutely nothing as a reward, Ellie this character that we have grown to love has been dragged through the mud and made to be some mental case and is ultimately left with nothing, “congratulations for finishing the game all that’s left is for the main character to kill herself because why not” they couldn’t of destroyed what was a masterpiece of a story more if they tried (wait no they could make you play as Abby for longer that would do it) first thing I did when I was forced to play as this terrible character is run to the first point where I was able to get killed, I no lo her cared about getting caught by enemy’s or detected by infected I just ran straight in, I mean I wasn’t getting any satisfaction from the game I might aswell get it from watching the character i just wanted to die from the start die over and over again. This game was about as enjoyable as bowel cancer... if you make a part III please just use it to erase the abortion of a game this was by making it all a horrible dream. And this time don’t pretend to include characters you kill off in the first 30 minutes of the game. It’ll take a lot to earn your fan base’s trust back Naughty dog, but for the sake of the amazing content you use to make, I hope you do.    … Expand

    Un juego increíble, que logra transmitirte cada sensación de la historia, un gameplay impresionante, realista y viceral. Entiendo el porqué alguna gente está molesta con la historia; sin embargo no estoy de acuerdo con ello, es una historia que te muestra los dos puntos de referencia y te hace empatizar con ello. Un final que pocos comprenderán. Un gran juego!

    Incredible! I avoided all spoilers and opinions online and played through the game. Was disapointed at the half-way mark when the game turns. But slowly started to understand more and more about the intertwined plot. By the end of the game, I felt emotions toward charcter motivations that no other media had ever provided.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For context I’ve played through the original game 6 times. I’d like to say I understand the characters, and I think this sequel did a good job staying true to those characters. A lot of criticism for this game has come in the form of a revolt against the agenda of the creators. Let me remind anyone that played the first one that there were multiple gay characters in that one too, so having them continue to be gay shouldn’t be that shocking to anyone playing the sequel. Joel’s early death caught me off guard and of course I was saddened by it, but his story was pretty much over. He had his entire character arc through the first game, therefore, not much was left to discuss in the sequel. This also allows new characters to be explored.

    Despite his early death, he comes back in flashbacks that happen throughout the game. These flashbacks give useful context for the continuing story, and allows two very separate story’s to combine for an exciting climax.

    I will say that the game is paced well, although the constant timeline changes with flashbacks and character changes can bog down the story if you aren’t paying close attention. This game also has a habit of quickly killing off main characters. If you blink during some of the deaths you could easily miss them. My biggest complaint is the same complaint as the first game (which I still give a 10/10). Enemies will try to kill you with guns but won’t drop ammo when you take them down, as if they used their last shot just before you finished them off. The voice acting, the acting, the graphics, and the gameplay are all very well done. Gameplay features a few new mechanics for traversing the world, combat, and for puzzles.

    As for the developers’ agendas, the complaints are entirely unwarranted. There is no agenda here. They aren’t forcing lgbt values down our throats, there’s just gay characters. Ellie was gay in the first game and obviously continues that into this game. It would make sense that Ellie would find a love interest after 4 years of living in Jackson. There are a couple scenes with Ellie and her girlfriend Dina, but nothing is forced. It is treated the same way all the straight relationships have been in all the other naughty dog games. The antagonist Abby is not trans, she’s just buff. There’s a gym in her base and she works out constantly. Apparently if a girl isn’t entirely feminine then she’s just a dude? There is one sex scene featuring Abby and it lasts for maybe 5 seconds. That 5 second scene has been the crux of most people’s criticisms of this game so feel free to ignore any of those reviews.

    This game is well made all around, the original is just so hard to beat. For anyone that really enjoyed the first game, or payed any attention to it, this sequel is worth your time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog was my second best game company after Rockstar but they are no where near my tenth as of now. They ruined a perfectly likeable game and character for literally everyone. There's so many ways this story could have gone. The fact that they deliberately decided to murder a beloved character in the most contrived and gruesome way possible while fully understanding the effects of this choice on the millions of fans out there is as disrespectful as it is outrageous. There's so many ways the story could've progressed without killing off Joel. Pretty much everyone's "raison d'être" for playing the game. I probably could've come up a better story than this contrived **** being force fed to fans because they lack the motivation to tell a good compelling and engaging story like the prequel. If they wanted revenge to be the backbone of this story, they could have pulled it off regardless in a remarkable fashion without having to murder the main reason why people were gonna buy the game. This obviously explains why they lied to everyone about everything. Even the trailer was a **** lie. If you wanted a revenge story and relished the thought of murdering one of the characters, why not perhaps kill off Tommy and have Joel and Ellie go avenge his death. Seems pretty logical to me. The Joel in the TLOU certainly will do that if he lost his brother and I can totally see Ellie tagging along considering Joel will be pretty old and not as agile and strong as he used to be. If that's still too extreme, why not murder say a pregnant Maria and leave Tommy badly injured in a raid so much that he has to rely on Joel and Ellie to exact revenge for his beloved wife in his stead. Or why not destroy the town, kill a few people if you have to and mortally hurt Joel if you wanted to have Ellie go solo. Beat him up, even shoot off his leg like you did but keep him alive. It will make better sense why Ellie spared Abby's life in the end.
    I could think of so many other scenarios and despite not being a writer, I can tell the story was forced. Forced so much that even if they tried, there will always still be loose ends and half plots to deal with. The game just feels broken and messed up on so many levels, I can't help but think this is some sort of a propaganda story. They had no reason to kill off Joel, yet they did, to prove a useless point that makes no sense at all.
    I'm not gonna say anything positive about this game because when you start a game on such a badly horrific note, that's what you're gonna get. It destroyed the experience for me and I can't help but wish the game never released at all. Or it released with completely different characters telling a completely different story. You deserve a lot less than you're getting Naughty Dog. Better be grateful!    … 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...
