    This game is absolutely incredible. It expands and improves on everything the first game did and then some. So many people who seem upset with there story seem to be missing there point that there is no desired outcome in this world. No one get to choose how things end and no one is promised a respectful send off and that's just fine, because real life violence is awful and sad andThis game is absolutely incredible.

No one get to choose how things end and no one is promised a respectful send off and that's just fine, because real life violence is awful and sad and leaves you feeling empty in a way this game converts just beautifully. Gameplay, esp combat and exploration, have improved so much and overall this game is just an absolute gem, 10 out of 10. Side note, I also love the first and consider that top 3 games of the pst decade, so you CAN love both experiences despite what some are saying.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic made it so hard to post this review. It kept crashing and saying error 500 and noticing the high reviews are being legitimately bombed to save this game it's just unreal . There is less bombing and more actual opinion about the game on the negative reviews scores than the overrated ones. I notice how the majority of the reviews for the game being amazing do not point out it's flaws. Whereas the negative reviewers give reasons and also explain why the game is goos. So unfortunately I have lost faith in the gaming industry and seen it's true colours even on metacritic. Regardless here's my review. Joel's character is weaker and his demeanor is smaller and not so interesting. The new character Abby also has little interesting points. In the first game Joel gave us meaning to be interested he lost someone close who was innocent. Ellie also is innocent and being chased and protected which is interesting. In this game Abbie's father was not innocent so no one cares if he dies. They made a clip of him regretting the surgery but it doesn't make you like him. There wasn't any scene that makes you like Abbie in a way you want to help her agenda knowing the first story. And the creators make you play this very lake character for hours. Sex scene was disgusting and unrealistic. Graphics great but I buy a game that is made for the story for the story and the story was over the top violent and sexual in a lesbian or gay way. Which is fine. But way too focussed on it to be enjoyable.… Expand

    Gameplay excelente, mas uma história completamente forçada e que até contradiz principios de alguns personagens do primeiro, onde dividirá opiniões entre pessoas que curtiram, não curtiram e as que odiaram...

    After the first part I expected something especial, something gorgeous. And finally I got a beautiful candy at the first sight. It has delicious package outside and a piece of s h i t inside. Actually, it's not a game, it's the piece of the LGBT propaganda masked as post-apocalyptic survival game. Thank you, Naughty Dog, it was the last your game I bought.

    Been watching a lot of people’s gameplay. I’ve noticed that once the “golf scene” happens, people tune out or they just aren’t the same as when they started playing. This game just isn’t it.

    gameplay 6/10, Pretty much identical to the first game, nothing new, relatively outdated
    story : 0/10, Holy **** how can you mess the core part of your game so much, honestly, i didn't even have high expectations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They didn't run out of ideas, that's for sure. However, the ideas they ended up using are very telling of the questionable narrative talents of Halley Gross and the other two "writers" Neil hired as fillers.

    The plot holes in both narration and character arcs made this sequel disconnected from what the fans loved and championed about the first. In a way I get what ND was going for because in the real world if this were to happen, it would likely end up the same way: merciless, unfair, and saddening; but the execution needed a little help from Troy, I believe. Maybe it wouldn't have been so jarring to fans had he voiced and mocapped the "sequence" to show more the regret Joel had for trusting a pack of strangers and giving his and Tommy's names outright. There's a part there were they could've zoomed in on him and showed this so as not to leave the fans saying 'what the hell happened to Joel? a hunter would never do this!'

    Also, what happened to the black doctor we all shot in the first game?! Yes, the surgeon in the first game was black, which makes Jerry's character so bizarre and last-minute to even include.

    Still giving it a rating of 6 because it tried with all the Mortal Kombat fatalities which was nice. And you can't deny those graphics. That next-gen rendering alone already gives this game half the score.    … Expand

    This form of media, as a game specifically, is excellent. It is clear that Naughty Dog has created a very real and detailed world. One can see that they worked very hard. The scenery in this game is beautiful. It is highly detailed, mechanically consistent, and a testament to how hard they worked.

    For this reason alone, this game does not deserve a one star. It is a good game. Perhaps, based on this alone, it deserves at least 3-stars.

    What is left to be judged is the story. If you're reading this, I highly recommend you play the game yourself no matter what you read here and form your own opinion. Many people are leaving bad reviews based on an early event that leaves feeling players betrayed or "shoved SJW ****

    Naturally, players will be angry and leave bad reviews for this, but again this game does not deserve that. The circumstances that happen in-game are believable and real. The story is just as real as the first game. It is surprising, frustrating, depressing, fun, and so much more.

    This is a must-play game. The bad reviews are undeserved.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (In normal circumstances I’d give this game a 9 but the tons of bad reviews given by haters that are based off of spoilers made me give it a 10 to “compensate”)

    Now about the game, as you may now every technical aspect of it is gorgeous and on point. Graphics, mechanics, expressions and so on. The story is dense and complex and although I’m a huge fan of the first game and the characters, Joel’s death felt necessary (yes, I agree that it should’ve been a little less “lazy” about how it happened, but still necessary). The second portion of the game, where you play with Abby made me care a lot about her, despite what she did, and that’s where the game is so genius. I felt horrible fighting against Ellie but I felt even worse fighting against Abby in the ending. I was in pain every time I cut her and by the end of the game I found myself crying just like Ellie cried after sparing abby’s life.

    For me, the main flaw about the game is the over use of violent deaths. Yes, the universe of the is cruel and raw, but the excess of deaths made care less. The scene where Abby found Owen, the love of her, dead should’ve felt so much more emotional for me but it just felt like another one. Having said that, TLOU part 2 doesn’t seem right till you really finish the game. If you choose to play it, make sure to play it till the end cause each second of the story is fundamental to the experience.    … 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]
