    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The set pieces and overall improvements over the first game are amazing. You can see what hard work, dedication and a toxic work environment by a triple A developer can produce. Having said that, the overall narrative and deceptive marketing truly negates the potential of this “masterpiece.” This really could of been something special. The sloppy writing, forced plot devices and contradictory character interactions spoiled the entire experience for me. It’s fine if you wanted to shock the audience, but instead this game pulls predictable “violence begets violence” themes with no resolution in the end. Ancillary characters died at the drop of a hat, while main characters only suffer emotional scaring. There is no real lesson here besides “don’t start something you can’t finish” and that unfinished business is the game’s own story quality. Hopefully this will be a lesson as to what really is important to storytelling and what lying to a loyal consumer base gets you.… Expand

    Iron man didn't go through all that trouble to Forgive Thanos. Now why would Ellie? Naughty Dog is a disgrace.

    Essa é uma prova que bons gráficos não fazem jogos bons. A história faz com que o jogo seja mais longo do que você possa imaginar, péssimo. Você torce para que o jogo acabe logo, mas ele ainda continua, como um pesadelo. Gostaria de pegar meu dinheiro de volta.

    This game makes you hate every character you play as. Also it has a lot of stupid AI and boring gameplay. Would not spend a dime on this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having completed a full playthrough of the game, I'd advise you not to waste your money. Cringey dialogue, lazy writing, no payoff. There's no silver lining. No levity. The one message the game has is "violence and revenge bad" and it beats you over the head with it repeatedly, like you're a mentally challenged toddler, while pretending to be deep. The game does its very best to make you feel like a piece of **** for doing the things it forces you to do. The sounds people and animals make as you viciously beat, stab, hack, or shoot them are horribly realistic and drawn out. Your enemies' companions and the owners of the dogs you're forced to brutalize cry out in horrified, despairing anguish at their deaths. and in the end, it snatches the only possible motivation any sane person could have had for continuing to play the game after Joel's death out from under you at the very last second and just leaves you feeling disgusted and depressed. Neil Druckmann has beaten this franchise to death with a golf club and spit on its mangled corpse.

    I made this account solely to tell you how much I despise what was done to this game. This is the first time I've ever bothered to review a game, that's how pissed off this piece of trash made me.

    The heavy push for strange and out of place topics in combination with recycles game mechanics and a weak, illogical story filled with plot holes make this game a disappointment beyond belief. If you care about a good story, skip this one at all costs and spend your money on games and developers that actually care about their game

    Troppo monotonia? Ho fatto una fatica boia a finirlo, una vera tortura e devo dire che ha spezzato il legame dei fan con la saga. La narrativa è assurdamente pesante se a questo ci aggiungi la fatica che fai per farcela a non spaccare la play, è veramente dura.

Good graphics, but a bad story, made to please the "Slayers" fans, or as we can say, the Boring fans who complain that such a character is not a lesbian and etc. DO NOT BUY the game, you will regret it… Expand

    Worst story ever. Good graphics are worth nothing with a story like that. Have no words to describe the frustration of waiting 7 years for that. The only reason it is selling well is because of the first game.

    A well decorated piece of ****
    It looks beautiful. It sounds beautiful. But still, it's just a piece of ****
    Congratulation, Neil Druckman, you successfully ruined one of the best game developer in the world.
    From now,naughty dog will never be my choice, again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you really enjoyed the first game because of how beautiful the story was and the relationships in that story, and if you found yourself attached to the characters at all, you will NOT enjoy this game nearly as much, if at all. It’s almost like the COMPLETE FORGOT why the first the last of us was so successful and adored, and has such obsessive fans. If you’re playing this game without playing the first one then it will be moving and emotional and a nice rollercoaster. But if you are playing this game off of excitement after the first game you WILL be disappointed. I played the first one with my friends and family and we all continuously said we’d love to see Ellie and Joel to grow together. And they all said there favourite character and one of the only reasons they liked the first game was because of Joel and his relationship with Ellie, then to see him die at the start of the game completely ruins the idea of the game. It’s like going on call of duty and removing all guns from the game.

    The good parts about the game I would say are the aesthetics are beautiful and it always looks amazing walking around this game, also the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie make us remember how good the game use to be and those moments were special, also playing as Abby actually was an interesting concept to see what she had gone through as well but then to put the player through the disgusting task of having to fight and beat Ellie is an awful idea, I don’t care what anybody says it is horrendous that we have to fight against the character we’ve always loved, that along with Joel’s death crushed the ratings so low. It’s not being special and unique in the story and the way it’s played it’s just being deluded. I hope they remake it and it was all a dream and they do a story at least some more of the Ellie and Joel action we all love and are not tired of as we’ve had to wait 7 years anyway it will be amazing to get some more of it in a nostalgic way.

    Story is NOT GOOD. If you were even a little invested in the characters from the first game, don’t bother buying this. Not worth.

    The worldbuiling and gameplay is done very good, but the story... I am ashamed naughty dog profited hundreds of millions from this crap.. Two beloved characters ruined, i wish i never played part 2. The guy who came up with the story should be fired. This has nothing to do with lbtq+.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una jugabilidad sencillamente preciosa, los gráficos mega realistas.

    Pero nada de eso te sirve si las vas cachetear con el argumento y la historia. Típica enseñanza de “la venganza es mala“, pero desarrollada de una forma despreciable. Ellie no quiso matar a Abby porque “la venganza sólo trae consecuencias :((“ pero mató un montón de gente para llegar a Abby sólo para decirle que la perdonaba.

    No pues si.    … Expand

    The story is disgusting and some exploration and flashback sequences are really boring. This game is a disgrace compared to its predecessor and the Uncharted series.

    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]
