    I saw some of the spoilers a few weeks before the game came out and maybe that gave me time to accept what a lot of people seem to have issues with. Maybe it made me prepared. I don't think that's it, but it might be a solution for some people who have had knee-jerk reactions to plot beats in this game. Give it time to settle.

    Because there is an amazing game here. It's beautiful not only in its graphics but also its story of loss, revenge, and the pain that comes with both. This game made me emotional in ways that no media in any form ever has. It has some of the saddest parts of the series and also some of the happiest.

    I would recommend if you have any amount of interest in the game then you play it. If you have seen the spoilers or you haven't. Play it. Give it time to breathe. Let it settle. Experience it for yourself.    … Expand

Kill hundreds who probably have families and friends themselves who would be willing to get revenge on Ellie, and yet even after all those deaths, when faced with the person who clubbed her father figure to death in front of her she simply lets her go, oh but not before having two of her fingers bitten off of course.… Expand

    No tengo ningun problema con que maten a joel, era de esperarse pero no me hagan jugar con el personaje que lo mato y me fuerzen a intentar empatizar con este, no me hagan ir y matar a medio mundo con ellie para que al final la deje viva

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story/Plot: 1/10... 7 years for this?
    Graphics and Characters: 8/10. Some bugs here and there, nothing serious.
    Music/OST: 10/10. Santaolalla career is perfect. Any music sheet from his hands are a masterpiece.
    Gameplay: 7/10. Feels a little rough sometimes to play. It's not mechanically smooth as its Prequel.

    Resume: NAUGHTY DOG, YOU CAN'T GIVE OF THIS CRAP DISGUISED AS A SEQUEL!

    I feel very very bad with this. 7 years being waiting for this day and now... its worst than the Cordyceps infection.

    Don't misunderstand me but the plot its a mixture of LGTBI+ that nobody cares but still important to sell this Game quickly, vengeance not well grounded plus the murder of one of the most iconic characters in the last 10 years... All this in a story that doesn't feel connected and worked well from Naughty Dog.

    The introduction of new characters to the drama was intelligent until you kill Joel, and worst.... they forced us to play with that Character because not even Tommy or Dina are powerful characters to be played. (Damn... Dina as character and partner is useless as F***, only thinking in who's the next sugar mommy)

    The entire story doesn't feels good, in connection and continuity. They try to sell an inclusive game, trying to be "White Knight" of justice on this matter but, nobody cares!!! We're only wanted a good conclusion between Joel and Ellie cos' it's obvious (since the ending of TLoU) that she's gonna know the truth sooner or later about her story with the Fireflies and her immunity. For god sake... You simply destroyed a good story.

    About "Abby's Story"... Simply don't match with the game. I fell asleep 4 o 5 times with this part. I can comprehend that you want to introduce very well her reasons about "WHY" she kills Joel but... Her story it's more like a DLC than the main game itself. Not bad as all her story of course, but not for a main game for sure.

    This Title has incredible potential and i'd hope Naughty Dog launches very soon a HUGE DLC to compensate things.

    Joel deserves another ending, another conclusion to his life and his decisions... not be thrown away like this.

    Graphics, Music, Gameplay: Not bad and not perfect, the only exception here it's Santaolalla's work. That man knows how to put you in mood.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the most awful game I have ever played, and that is saying something. Neil C uckmann absolutely ruined the game that was hailed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. The entirety of the first game made you fall in love with the parental relationship between Joel and Ellie and this game destroys that within the first two hours. For what? The devs say its to make a statement on the theme of revenge, but I say you shouldn't do that at the cost of one of the best relationships portrayed in video gaming. Absolutely pathetic. Not to mention C uckmann's self inserts himself into the game not once... not twice... but THREE times during the game. The ego on this guy is showcased in how he commented on the game saying "some of the fans of the original aren't going to like the game." Then just make a new f ucking game! Don't ruin the game because you want to make some political statement and generate pointless shock value. I pity those who had to work on the game, knowing it was going to be such a terrible excuse for a sequel. Thank God for the whistleblower that saved so many people from buying the game. And for those that don't know, not only will you have to play as Abby for 10 HOURS, but you are forced to spare her in the end. You can't even make the game good no matter how hard you try. Don't bother with it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK, this game is horrible but let me explain, in this game I expected a story that connects me to the characters like the first game with engaging dialogue that lets me understand and see them make decisions that make complete sense in the situation. hahaha no there is none of that there is so much BS that goes on and to the point that you are cheering on for these poorly developed characters to die and die again as they make the most stupidest decisions that lead to serious cringe to wtf just happened moments making you lose brain cells along the way. The story is all over the place as you have flashbacks to why the character is doing this, but in the second half, you play as Abby in an earlier section of the game to catch up to ellies part so you can have symphony for her. and you keep on having flashbacks in flashbacks and this keeps on happening over and over which kills the suspense of the game constantly. The gameplay is so easy playing hard mode is comparable to easy mode in the first game and I had to switch it to grounded so I can have a challenge. the gameplay is the exact same as the first with one new infected that is basically a suicide bomber that does dick all damage, and all enemies have the same rail back and forth ai as the first. but the only thing that they did change which impressed me is the stalkers as they are no longer seeable in listening mode which makes things more tense but can be exploited by running around as they are prone blocked (because they are hiding) they have a solid second delay to react to your new location and are easily killable. the crafting system is so boring that you can easily get the guns to one-shot anything. Compared to the first game where you had to get tools to be able to further upgrade the weapons and it was noticeable that they improved slightly but now it doesn't matter. Now the graphics/ animation holy **** they are so beautiful that it shows a nextgen feel which pushes the hardware to its fullest but knowing that it is wasted on this story you just don't care. With everything other than the story it is at a 5/10 but the story brings it to a 2/10 or 3/10
    I'm so disappointed that this is what they had come up with in 7 years.    … 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]
