    Congrats for ruing a perfect game with a sequel that could not have been worse.
    I loved the first game. How could you throw everything out of the window?

    The game journalists reviews are a joke as always..

    This game broke my heart, the only thing that was good in it was the gameplay, I believe that people worked hard on him and worked on every element, but neil drahman ruined everything. The whole plot is pulled by Joel, but because the nile did not like him, the nile leaked it. Here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay SO verdict on the last of us part II, firstly I'm gonna give it a 8.5/10,,,originally it was even going to be a 10/10 because loved the first part of it so much but the whole gameplay with Abby I just felt went on too long, I found myself getting through it not out of genuine interest but more because I just wanted to get back to playing Ellie. In my personal view, the writing isn't as bad as people say, I just felt like the timing was off with Joel’s death, it wasn't the fact that it was done but more when they chose to do it, it felt too soon and I wish we were given more time, if I had it my way we would have a bigger gameplay at the start with Joel and Ellie, then the main storyline with Ellie and have Abby's part be a smaller one because...that part just didn't work for me. I found myself not enjoying it as much or getting excited, all I wanted to do was get back to Ellie, which might be me being biased because ellie is one of my all time favourite characters.

    I do think people are being way too harsh on this game just because it wasn't what everyone expected, in my opinion too much was put on the shoulders of this sequel and everyone expected it to be incredibly perfect but the way I see it, in the world you're playing in all bets are off.

    The ending,,,I understand why people were pissed, for me it felt too backwards. Ellie gets into a brutal fight with Abby; Abby leaves then over a year has past and Ellie leaves Dina and JJ behind to find her again only to then let her go? I understand the sentiment of Ellie learning that everything she had done in Joel’s “honour” didn’t help her and killing Abby wouldn’t bring him back like,,,I understand that but shouldn’t that have happened in the first big fight and then just end it with her getting closure on the farm with Dina?

    The ending has been left kind of opened yet again, which I do appreciate because then it can be left to interruption as to what happens, personally I think Ellie goes back to Jackson to find Dina (let’s face it is where she’s gonna go she wants safety for JJ) and gets forgiveness and her family back,,,I don’t know if I want a full part 3 bc it scares me what they could do lmao BUT a DLC (or a graphic novel) of Ellie and Dina making up??? Yes please I would love that.

    Anyways I really did love this game 90% of the time with Ellie and Dina, who was a brilliant character that brought a lot of light to the plot and Ellie herself...of course there are elements I wish would have done differently but overall I found it a great follow up, it’s just a shame of some of the choices made in the rounding up part. I hope that something is made in the future to maybe level it out, still I’ll say all the Ellie parts were a 10/10 for me.

    Yes I love it. Yes I think there could have been improvements with the narrative. I exist.    … Expand

There are games that have used this tactic before, there are games that turns antagonists into protagonists and vice versa but those games had a very compelling story-line. Like in MGS series and FF, you have very strong and powerful characters, you see your favorite characters change from good to evil, from evil to good etc. But I never felt like forced to play those games, here I felt like turning off my console so many times. If naughty dogs really tried to be Kojima here, they should have at least reviewed his work as well. I would just pretend this game didn't happen and I wont be pre-ordering any games from these developers in future without seeing public reviews… Expand

    Stunning graphics, excellent voice acting, mediocre soundtrack, dated gameplay, dated AI, horrible story, and to top it off the complete and utter betrayal of fans just to push a “woke” narrative. This game is an abomination and should not be considered cannon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is a more refined version of what was started in the first game. If you didn't like that gameplay, you won't like part II's gameplay. the story is alright, not great, but the part that was hardest for me was having to play as abby for 8+ hours straight. the pacing was very off, which is unfortunate. I would have enjoyed this game much more if ellie's playtime and abby's playtime was split equally on each day and not at the end of journey in seattle. this game had potential, unfortunately it didn't completely live up to the hype for me. still a solid game overall.… Expand

This game has so much potential but falls on its face more than anything I have ever seen. I'd like to list some pros for this game before I explain. The level design from a graphical standpoint and flow standpoint is incredible. The character models are amazing. Sound design is amazing, and finally, the controls and mechanics really do feel flawless. However, in a story-based game, all of those things don't matter if your story is a complete dumpster fire which this story is. Characters lack any sort of development. I literally don't care when anything happens to anyone, but Ellie. Every single one of them could die and it would not change how I felt about the game or them at all. The only time I feel any sort of emotion is in flashbacks because that's the only time I see any sort of character development at all. Otherwise, this game left me bored out of my mind. I found myself working through areas faster and faster just to get to the next cutscene in the hopes it would get somewhat better spoiler alert it does not. Most of the character development and good thought out story bits you're going to see are within the trading cards you can find throughout the map as collectibles and honestly, I'd rather read and collect all those than ever play this story again. The second issue I have with the game is with the ending I won't spoil it for anyone, but those of us that played the game understand how bad it truly is and I don't think that we would be having this discussion if it was at least a choice. However, it is not you are forced into the decision it makes, which I can guarantee is not the decision 95% of the player base would have made. The ending straight up feels like a slap in the face as you have worked the entire game for one goal and it makes all that work and effort useless. That's why I gave this game a 3/10, everything about the game is great except for the story which is a major issue in a story-based single player experience. To the team at Naughty Dog who worked on this game brushing up the mechanics, creating the environments, and working on the sound design you did an amazing job. To the team at Naughty Dog who wrote the story, I hope you never touch another project in your life. Just to reiterate this story is so poorly written that imagine if in Uncharted 4 instead of its ending Nathan gives up on his quest halfway through and goes home. That is basically how I felt after this story, honestly, I'd ask for a refund but at this point, I don't even care. I don't want to spend any more time thinking about this game, playing it, or writing about it; this is it. Finally, I am incredibly disgusted by the way Neil has handled the backlash. I'm aware this game has been review bombed but for those of us who actually played the game, his reaction to our criticisms seems like another blow to the gut. On Twitter, he's made jokes about the reviews and that's just a shame he can't admit to his own shortcomings and mistakes, but I really do expect nothing less from him as he's clearly shown he does not care about fans from the story he's written. That is why this game is a 3/10. I'd recommend never touching it, don't let it taint your opinion on the series like it did mine. Just know Ellie and Joel are out there surviving just like the end of The Last of Us and let it end there. Thank you for taking the time to read this large review I truly hope it helps some of you find peace knowing you're not alone in your thoughts even if the Games director will laugh in your face, and I hope those of you who have not purchased it now have some sense of the anger the community has felt and will think twice.… Expand

I felt cheated when I just ran past people and magically dodging bullets even in the last encounter. Then the story... THE **** STORY! the play up this massive revenge plot for avenging joels death. then magically after Ellie is bleeding out and is drowning the one who killed Joel. Ellie just goes, "naw" and lets them go. Naughty dog has had such an amazing track record as a company with their games. The uncharted series had an amazing indianna jones style of story that never seemed to get worse with each installment. So how did they manage to **** up this badly?… Expand

Acabei de terminar o jogo com 22 horas de conclusão, o jogo é bom em vários aspectos graficos, jogabilidade e trilha sonora mas ele da um tapa na cara dos jogadores com a cena da morte do Joel pois ela é ridícula e mal feita, acredito que o Joel deveria ter morrido nesse jogo mas o jeito que fizeram isso foi muito ruim pois a cena foi humilhante pra um personagem totalmente amado pelos fâs e foi contra seus princípios do primeiro jogo onde ele era cauteloso e um sobrevivente-nato apartir dessa cena tu não joga o jogo do mesmo jeito outro ponto que me deixou triste da história foi quando temos que jogar com a Abby até chegar no teatro onde tu literalmente luta contra a Ellie controlando a abby e tu é obrigado a quebrar a cara da ellie. O jogo te conta a história da Abby e tals mas tu não pega empatia pela personagem outro ponto importante é quando o Jesse morreu , ele é um personagem que a gente não cria empatia e quando ele morreu eu literalmente liguei o dane-se para a morte dele se ele não estivesse no jogo não iamos sentir nenhuma falta do mesmo.

I want a little logic, even though the game developers do not value the abby character (we can understand this by not showing abby in the game trailers by not showing the abby character on the game covers) , how can we think that the players love to be connected to the abby character. Instead of separating the characters for 3 and 3 days in the game, we should have played the ellie character in almost the whole game, it is really disappointing on the player side.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played part one several years ago, and it was spectacular and I'd consider it one of the best games I've ever played.
    I've been looking forward to this game since the day it was announced and have literally been counting down the days- I got hit with spoilers which is a huge bummer but I still kept my head high and had faith in Naughty Dog to pull off a masterpiece like they did with the first game. Sadly, and in my personal opinion, they didn't pull through.

    The game-play mechanics and graphics are absolutely incredible and it is obvious that they took every small detail into account, but where it fell short was the story and this is why.
    You play half of the game as Joel's killer which I thought was a complete bore, I didn't really enjoy playing as Abby whatsoever despite ND's attempts at making the player like her and paint our beloved main characters from the first game as enemies. I never expected myself to be rolling my eyes and yawning during the game I held a preorder with for just under three whole years.

    Certain characters were also unrecognisable and had all the qualities which made them so loved in the first game thrown away completely.

    The ending was unexpected, but anticlimactic. Ellie has killed hundreds and hundreds of people without hesitation, but when it comes to killing the person who shot Joel's leg off and murdered him with a golf club, shot Jesse in the face and killed him instantly, and shot Tommy in the face with the intent of killing him but missed his brain- she decided to let her go.

    If I was rating the game off of game-play and graphics alone it'd be a 9.
    If I was rating it off the story alone it'd be a 3, which is thoroughly disappointing from a company which I had so much faith in.    … 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...
