    I enjoyed it seriously, yeah most of u are probably pissed off at the "thing" at the beginning but giving it a bad review because of that its pretty... you know, becuz giving it a low score means its bad game which is not fair for the developers cause they worked hard on the game and you could see that they worked hard throught the little details in the game.

    If you are to stupid for a game like this don't play it! The Story is not like the first but when you want that then play the first!

    Los aspectos en cuanto a jugabilidad me parecieron de lo mejor, su sistema de combate/sigilo esta muy bien pulido y no me parece para nada decepcionante. La historia es lo que más puede decepcionar a los jugadores tal vez puedan conciderar que el primer juego dejo las expectativas muy altas pero para mí aunque no supera el primero sigue siendo un juego increíble.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Heres what mistake ND made. They underestimated how much we loved Joel. You can play all the new Gustavo Santolalla songs you want during Abby's scenes, you can give her a believable motive, you can even give her a Joel-type story arc. It doesn't matter, I WILL STILL HATE HER!! And the fact that you couldnt make me care about her at all, even after playing half the game with her, just shows your terrible writing. You underestimated your first game, you underestimated your fanbase, and now it's going to blow up in your face Neil ****… Expand

    The first was OK, this seems to be just a cash grab, I feel like I wasted my money on a bad game with misleading reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely loved this game. The darker tone and visuals really drove home the shift in attitude that Ellie goes through after Joel's death. And getting to play as his killer for half the game is a spectacular nuance to driving home the fact that these are all just people. Theine of revenge had to stop somewhere and Ellie realizes this far too late. Awesome storytelling… Expand

    Ugly woman with biceps and talking about chauvinism in the first 20 minutes of the game - this is what we have been waiting for 7 years. Fire Drukmann.

    Biggest disappointment in gaming. Apart from the ***show of a story, the game play gets repetitively boring. Feel really sorry for the brilliant ND team who are on the receiving end of all this hate just because of a their ****head leaders/creative directors.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was able to a used copy day one lol i didnt even buy the game just used my gs points. Now, The graphics are amazing, gameplay is still pretty much the same and voice acting is very good, now for the truth. The game is an absolute mess story sucks, the leaks were true, you don't even get enough time to settle into the game until Joel gets taken out its because of that stupid decision the Devs made that really took me out of the game and made want to jump out of my window (I didn't.) But this game literally leads to nowhere. Abby lives because Ellie let's her go?! Really?! I'm glad I didn't buy the game and was able to switch it out for a better game.… Expand

This game is driven by hate and shows you the ugly world of the last of us people are mad that Joel is dead but after a while you will get over it and really see the game for what it is. If u liked the first game play this game it is depressing, beautiful, and scary that’s why I think that just for the story telling it’s a 10… Expand

    I stayed away from the spoilers, I just finished playing. I loved the first game. But it seems like ND was more worried about ticking all those politically correct boxes than delivering a great story. This game is trash. Don’t buy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You guys who are down voting this game did not understand what the creators meant for the story. Yes Joel dies but that is a new journey for Ellie who was under his protection from the beginning. Yes she doesn't kill Abby but that means she got over Joel and she doesn t want to follow his ways. Joel killed the fireflies and saved Ellie but she wants to be different. Also this game was supposed to be about Ellie not the both of them. Also if girl on girl action is not for you than you shouldn't play this game or get to this year' this is a normal thing now.… Expand

    Completado este mediodía tras 34 horas de partida. Me disgustó en un primer momento lo precipitado del nudo narrativo, pero cuanto más lo pienso, más me gusta el giro que le han dado. Hace que coja el conjunto de la saga y mire hacia atrás con una sonrisa. Sólo puedo recomendarlo, en mi caso me han dado una historia más madura y cruda.

Hace que coja el conjunto de la saga y mire hacia atrás con una sonrisa. Sólo puedo recomendarlo, en mi caso me han dado una historia más madura y cruda.

    Las mecánicas jugables aportan pocas pinceladas nuevas, pero le sientan bien. No puedo decir que sea el mejor exclusivo de PS4 frente a otros grandes, aunque se me ha hecho muy disfrutable. Entiendo que los giros argumentales no hayan gustado a una comunidad tan apegada al marco del primero, pero lo que me ha hecho pensar esta segunda entrega hace que me alegre de que hayan hecho la trama como lo han hecho. ND ha vuelto a sorprenderme.

    El principal aspecto negativo que he tenido al jugarlo, dicho en general, es largos tramos sin la presión de enemigos. Expondría más, pero invito a que la gente lo vea completo (o juegue si lo desea) para que saque sus propias conclusiones.    … Expand

    I can totally understand people disliking this game. Even hating it. But considering it a bad game with a bad story and bad characters is nonsense. It’s ironic to me how many people complain about the social politics aspect of the game, and choose to hate it for that reason. Because ultimately it succeeds at the story it’s telling with or without those elements. It’s a very brutal gameI can totally understand people disliking this game. Even hating it. But considering it a bad game with a bad story and bad characters is nonsense. It’s ironic to me how many people complain about the social politics aspect of the game, and choose to hate it for that reason. Because ultimately it succeeds at the story it’s telling with or without those elements. It’s a very brutal game with a lot to say about the nature of vengeance. And frankly it handles it’s violent world better than the first game. It’s not necessarily meant to be “fun” but it’s definitely entertaining. Or engaging. Whatever term you prefer. As far as these negative reviews go, it kinda seems as though most of them are either complaining about a game they haven’t even played, or about the social political aspects (art is inherently political you jokers. Your own politics are your own problem.), or complaining about how depressing it is. I don’t really consider these complaints valid, because few games are made to this degree of quality or polish. And even fewer games tell stories with this amount of believable emotional depth. Oh yes, there are characters I dislike, and character decisions that pissed me off. But it all felt justified and real. (My biggest overall complaint from a plot/story perspective is that 20 or so years of post apocalypse in reality wouldn’t be enough for this level of societal degradation. Cults already having full blown martyrs, and referring to infected people as demons? Sooo ridiculous. Made the cult come off as a bunch of over enthusiastic LARPers. But that’s all theoretical.)

    From a gameplay perspective, it’s kinda silly how easily a crowbar can break, or how little ammo you carry. Yet you’ll have like seven different projectile weapons with you. Why would ammo ever be scarce in America? But these are minor complaints compared to the gameplay excellence on display in this game. It’s so damn smooth. The encounters have great variety. The locations and level design is top- notch. Even if I hated the game, I couldn’t justify not giving it a perfect score. At the very least, it’s one of the best designed games ever made, with a story crafted to be the purpose behind all of it.    … Expand

    Thanks for keeping the negative stereotype of bisexual people being disloyal cheaters, Naughty Dog, that really helps me out in my life as someone who is openly bisexual.

    Also, stop using 'subverting expectations' as a shield for bad writing because when someone actually properly subverts expectations no one actually believes you because you've misused the phrase too much.

Truly, first things first, this game is completely diferent from the first one , this is one is all about revenge from The begining until end , i would really put a 10 out of 10 but i cant , cause of The end, ok we should have some empathy with abbey, trying to show in a woldcase scenario that we always have to look from about two perspectives, but Ellie should have done it!, she didnt cause she felt free, and letted it go just seing Joe smilling, she should have done it , it would be so much satisfying, cause this all The Scores here in metacritic are so low, cause she hasnt done it , just because of it .… 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.

    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]
