    Gameplay, sound, animation, graphics are all 10/10. But that's not what people are here to read about. Honestly, this games story was thoughtful, innovative and unique. There are no "heroes" in this game, only flawed, realistic characters who sacrifice too much for revenge. This is a must play.

    This is one of the best game of this generation,of the ps4,of the console, game and of all time no matter what people say you have to play this game and make your own opinion. I enjoyed this game and the few negative point like the bad use of some characters are not enough to make this game bad. This is the the greatest masterpiece of naughty dog since uncharted 4.

    Masterpiece. Several days after completing the game, I can't stop thinking about the plot, the characters and the kind of world they are doomed to live in. How one's actions can have an everlasting impact on so many people.

    Music is fantastic too, not only the great Santaolalla pieces, but Mac Quayle as well.

    Gameplay is fun as hell. Probably the best stealth-action game ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game with excellent game play and design. The story didn't get me as angry as others got. Structured weirdly for sure, but still enjoyable. Felt underwritten/under realized. Don't let some over talked elements over shadow the good. (Spoilers) The museum scene, Ellie playing Take On Me and more...so beautiful and reminded me of what I loved about the first game. Cool dynamics with world building too- the other factions are interesting. But overall, they dropped the ball on story and the ending. Still a must play.… Expand

    Made an account after finishing the story, this game deserves all of the praise it gets. Naughty dog manages to stay faithful to the first game as they take you on a journey where you feel every emotion under the sun along the way. Do yourself a favor and play it all the way through, absolutely the most ambitious story the studio has told to date.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game was something that many, like me, anxiously waited upon for years, and was also a game that was waited on with such high expectations due to the masterpiece that was the last of us part I. to me, this game was not disappointing in the slightest.

    like others, i was disgusted and horrified by joel’s death, but not in the way that made me want to leave hateful reviews saying that naughty dog had failed the franchise. to me, it was a preview of what would turn out to be the most mentally tolling game i would ever play, both morally and emotionally.

    the decision to have the player spend time as both ellie and abby was extremely risky on naughty dog’s part, but something i ultimately felt was necessary. as we play the same set of days as both these characters who have essentially been destroyed by each other, we get such an insightful glance into the damage revenge has on the mentality of someone and their actions. i found myself not wanting to be hurt as ellie and dina, but at the same time, i rooted for abby and lev, who were essentially the targets of the women i previously mentioned.

    the grief of losing someone by the fault of another is not something that can be so easily remedied, and that’s exactly what the last of us part II shows us. i believe wholeheartedly naughty dog achieved the story they set out to tackle, even though there were faults along the way.

    i urge everyone to play this harrowing game, and urge people who may not be completely satisfied to give it another go. it is vastly different from the game we all grew to adore seven years ago, but that does not make it any less worthy.

    i also applaud the diversity and inclusivity the game provided despite the opinion of bigots. catch up with the world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It took me a week to sift through all my emotions after beating this game. I am not about to type out an essay but here are some quick points.

    1. To call the writing lazy is completely unreasonable.

    2. I threw Abby off of cliffs around 10 ten times before I proceeded to play as her. Now I feel **** about it.

    3. The gameplay is still a blast. Could they have spiced it up more? Maybe, but I can’t come up with any ideas so I’m not going to complain because it was still great.

    4. The story is meant to be challenging and it’s the apocalypse, **** can happen at any moment.

    The best game off my life. Sua narrativa é densa e incrivelmente rica, nunca um jogo mexeu tanto com meus sentimentos. Se possível daria 11 em sua nota. Ao concluir o game você tende a continuar imerso na história e dificilmente esse jogo sairá do topo da minha lista. Obrigado Naughty Dog por essa incrível experiência

Yes some of the side characters could have been a bit better, but you still get attached to them, even with the characters you don’t want to feel attached to.

    Not enough of Joel when he is killed of to early. Playing two characters make Ellie seem like she is not the main character anymore. The gameplay is still the same or even better.All the gameplay accessibility options made me enjoy the game so much more. Makes you emotional good or bad it seems to work.

    It's one of the most complex games i've ever played. Emotionally intense, you can pass from frenetic anger and fury to full nostalgic and sadness. Gameplay is at another level, it has some mechanics that make the player feel fully inside the different situations of the characters. Really enjoyed the experience, really felt the plot.

    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]
