    I'm gonna get the pro out of the way. The best thing about this game are the graphics, and that's about it. Other than that, the story, the characters and the game play are all terrible.

    This game does not deserve 10 and the title of the best game.
    This evaluation to compensate for the false evaluation from the press.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. S***** game. A bit couse of gameplay that haven't evolved from the first game. 2013 GAME. If i can endure first 10 hours because of Elly, because of nostalgia but 2nd 10 hours (or MORE) I can't. INCLUDING SPOILERS. Ofcourse I don't want play for Abby. This is just disgusting character (outward, manner of speech, her friends). This game want me to perceive her environment like Ellie's environment, but i CAN'T. They empty, they hideous. In the same time Ellie's friends (that i know from the 1st game!!!! and LOVE) is a good persons. i don't give a **** about LGBT suppoena. I just don't like this past-gen game… Expand

    How could a baby child named abby kill a man who traveled across the whole US in the first part just kill him with a **** gulf stick,Think about what amazing things you did with joel in the first part, how many people and zombies you killed all by your own, just killed in his **** home? If you want to kill joel just kill him good not in his own **** territory and With a **** gulf stick, the writing sucks, i can’t believe i waited all these years for a piece of crap    … Expand

    Just made an account to rant here, this is the worst story telling ever in any piece of media, Neil Druckman and company should take as example on how to make the story work in tandem with the game design from Metal gear solid 3 or even master storytellers like Fincher or Spielberg. This game sucks story wise

    A mi parecer es un muy buen juego, le daría un 10 pero siento que el final deje mucho que desear, además del relleno que hay en el juego por parte de Aby y la gran cantidad de tiempo jugado con Aby

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give this game a 5 since the graphics are amazing and I like what they did with ellie and gave her a family but what they did to Joel was not good I wouldn't mind if he died later in the game because than we could at least see ellie and Joel's relationship grow ,also I think they should have made it shorter by not playing as abby and if we were to play as abby it would be cool to see at the end a plot twist and how she kills joel . And if they were to do the story normally they should of ended it at the farm but no they wanted ellie to go on a pointless journey and realise that what she was doing is wrong .… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some reasons why i hated the game:
    1. False advertising.
    I avoided the leaks and pre-ordered the game. So, the only information I had about the game were from the trailers which clearly but deceptively showed that Joel would be a part of certain parts of the game. Except they killed him off within the first two hours, replaced him with another character and put his scenes as flashbacks even though the trailer showed him and Ellie as being older. At the moment they killed him off in the story I would have returned the game but trusting Naughty Dog and the professional reviews I had pre-ordered the digital copy so I was stuck with it and continued playing becoming more disappointed as the hours passed.

    2. The incoherence of Joel and Tommie’s characters which leads to Joel’s death.
    Both characters have survived decades in the postapocalyptic world, yet they stupidly follow an armed group down to the basement and then tell them who they are and where exactly they live. It doesn’t make sense. Why don’t they question why this armed group is so close to their settlement? Why don’t they assume they are some sort of raiders? Why were they not prepared in case these were bad people? Is this the same cautious and intelligent Joel that ran over a man pretending to beg for help for an ambush?
    A common response I’ve heard is that they became soft after the years of peace they’ve lived in. But being soft doesn’t mean being stupid. Also, the game itself contradicts this characteristic of Joel because in the game Ellie wears a gas mask, why? Because of Joel’s cautiousness! It is literally explained in a flashback that Joel does not allow her to tell anyone she is infected not even her friends and Joel tells her to wear a gas mask to which she replies no one is going to see her but Joel argues that they might run into someone.

    3. Abby.
    Our introduction to Abby is when Joel rescues her from being killed by the infected and then her immediately brutally torturing and killing him. This alone is reason enough for me to hate this character.
    The reason they give for her doing this does not justify it. Basically, Joel killed her dad and she was out for revenge. Except we know that Joel killed her dad in self-defence and her dad was trying to kill Ellie for a cure without her consent. Even the game shows that Abbie used the golden rule of “do unto others what you would want done unto you” to support her dad in killing Ellie arguing something like “if it was me, I would want you to do it.” Neither she nor her dad even wanted to give Ellie the choice. So, both Abbie and her dad are introduced as sadistic psychopaths.
    Someone might argue that Joel was also a sadistic psychopath, except as far as i remember, in the entire first game Joel only kills those who attack or threaten him and Ellie first. So, no he can’t be compared to Abby and her dad.
    And we are forced to play as her for 10+ hours.

    4. Gameplay.
    It’s the same gameplay as the first game. Except, in most cases, you can literally run past all the enemies then just jump over a ledge, climb something, go over a windowsill or most commonly hold triangle to open a blocked door. During the final sections playing as Ellie, I didn’t fire a single shot or kill a single enemy, I just rushed through. If I enjoyed the story and liked the characters then I would have played through properly but all I wanted was for it to end. Little did I know the ending was worse than I could imagine…

    5. The ending.
    The moral of the game is that revenge is bad. But at no point does Abbie show any remorse for killing Joel, she doesn’t suffer instead dozens of other people are killed by Ellie and co. Then at the end Ellie doesn’t kill Abby rather she actually saves her! Ellie ruins her own life and risks it in order to save Abby. She didn’t even have to take revenge, she just had to not get involved or walk away and Abby would have died.

    Conclusion
    I could write a lot more criticisms of this game such as it being an SJW’s wet dream and how they ruined Ellie’s character but at this point I just want to forget it existed. I hated it so much that it even ruined my like for the first game because I know it leads up to this garbage.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game would have gotten a 4 maybe 5 out of 10, but it is so bad that i couldn’t even finish my new game+. I beat it on survivor so there are some pretty tough parts that are challenging. It seemed more like a chore to play the game as I had wasted 60 dollars on it with a digital pre order. I couldn’t go through the story a second time. It’s just so bad. There is so much wasted potential with the game. The game is horrible so much that I didn’t even want to play the first one anymore. I took time to download the first one then thought what is the point of even playing it. That’s how bad this game is. It has completely ruined the entire franchise. I cannot even play the first the last of us. The story made me cringe. The love triangles were not necessary. The choices people made are bad, Mel being pregnant. I think they could have done a way better job with the story. Graphics are nice, gameplay is good but sometimes a little glitchy where I couldn’t see the NPCs or they randomly show up in front of me. There were times when I would be sneaking and get noticed by someone not there. It makes that weird sound when your spotted that happened so many times that made me think who the f*** spotted me. Also the dodge command seemed to be broken. I would press it and nothing happened next thing I know I’m getting shredded by a runner. Gameplay could have been better. I wanted to give 5/10 but just can’t because as I was writing this i remembered all the BS i was put through with mechanics.… Expand

    Lo Unico bueno que le puedo ver a este juego son sus gráficos y jugabilidad pues son una experienca fantástica, pero ¿de que te sirve eso? si la historia y la narrativa son una basura
    Solo es entender la historia para saber que destruye todo lo que el primer juego creó, el final... es decepcionante sientes como si todo lo que hiciste en el juego fuera una perdida de tiempo

    Visually one of the best games to come to PS4, the gameplay is similar to original last of us game so that's good. Don't like the fact I was forced to play abby it's like rockstar forcing us to play micah in RDR2 and the story could of ended differently but overall it's good.

    Very bad story. A steep decline from the original. If you want to play a lesbian girl and hear yourself talk about the kiss last night - then this is the game for you! If you want shooting and adventure - then look somewhere else.
    It seems like the Naughty Dog guys want to bury this series too, the same way they did with Uncharted.
    Pity.

    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]
