    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WHY NAUGHTY DOG WHY!?!?! You HAD yourself the perfect setup. WHY?!?! Shock value?!?!?! Using Joel's death as a PLOT DEVICE to "motivate" Ellie for revenge?!!!?!?! You literally had every option open to you so "genius" Bruckmann says "Hey! Let's kill Joel! The players will LOVE IT!"

    This REEKS of idiocy that panders to the most simple minded individual and tries to pass itself off as "thought provoking" and "intellectually stimulating."

    Then to flip the script and be stuck as someone that just killed off one of the most cherished characters for the first game, with not even the illusion of choice at the end is INSULTING.

    People whining about "well you didn't play past ______ so you're opinion and review shouldn't count!" Tell you what? I have this carton of milk here. It may or may not have been sitting out for an entire week. But you can't have an opinion about it until you finish the entire carton. And you can't smell it. And regardless of how it tastes, you MUST finish it before I care about your opinion." You honestly think every single person that hated on this game in the first three days should not immediately go get their refund because they must endure 15-20 MORE hours of a game they hate before they can voice their displeasure? If that were the case, every person whining about Donald Trump should have shut their traps until 2020 when they can actually vote his a$$ out of office. (I didn't vote for him and he needs to go!)

    Do yourself a favor, if you're on the fence about this title, go watch a stream or a play through. The graphics and detail rocks, the sound and voice acting are good, and the gameplay will likely feel familiar to you from the first title. But if you're not sure you can endure 25-28 hours of a story you may or may not like, watch a few hours first. You'll at least know what lies ahead before you spend your money.    … Expand

    It’s a great game unfairly judged as bad. It’s in no way a game for everyone, but it’s still better reviews from other users.

    This is one of the weakest stories I’ve ever played. The first game is a masterpiece, the best character development I have ever seen in a video-game, the second just abandons it. Yet, there is great graphics and I see some minor gameplay improvements, and the game is just gorgeous.
    Pros:
    -Great Graphics -Minor Gameplay Improvements -Minor AI improvements Cons: -Bad story -Character    This is one of the weakest stories I’ve ever played.

    Overall, this game was totally different from the first game, the focus was not in the story but the gameplay and graphics. I would not recommend this game for any fan of the original game. Only if you liked the gameplay more than the story and characters (I don’t know how). Anyway, in conclusion, I will give a 4/10. Great disappointment, for all what they did to the game.    … Expand

    This game is possibly the worst game that any game company has ever made Joel dead is possibly the worst way to give a character death and then you going to make us play as the person that kill one of the loved characters in gaming history for 10 hours is just **** up man

    Just terrible, a lot of false and misleading advertising making you believe that you can play as Joel when in reality you play as Abby for about 60% of the game in addition to basically giving Joel a **** end with so bad writing that I believe a 7 year old could do a better end and story for this game.

Furthermore the ending dose not make sense if **** thinks a logical human would let Abby just go after what she put Ellie trough I honestly don’t know anymore. All in all never play this game think as the first one to be the conclusion in my mind this is very disappointing and distasteful and dose a major disservice to the fans who waited almost a decade for the next chapter in a such promising franchise. All I can bother to say to Neil and the naughty dog team is don’t even bother making a third entry in this franchise if your not going to remake the 2nd game and make it good.… Expand

    Decepcionante la historia, ya la realidad del mundo es lo suficientemente caótica para incluirla en un video juego que es un pasatiempo y sirve para distraer del dia a día, los video juegos no deberían provocar la fyria colectiva, algo hicieron mal

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I start by saying that the gameplay is one of the best so far. artificial intelligence is very beautiful and level design is a masterpiece.
    But this game is not just about gameplay ... the story really sucks. There are too many plot holes. You can't understand what happens sometimes. For example when abby beats dina and Ellie the plot moves into the future without explaining how They found a doctor to treat the wounds. (Ellie had a broken arm, dina and Tommy were seriously injured. )Jesse dies like a retarded. Ellie spares abby in the end for no logical reason. This game is against Joel. Joel has been "mistreated" by Ellie. Tommy then after a blow to the head It survives by losing only one eye. ARE WE SERIOUS? I put 4 just for gameplay, music and level design otherwise this game deserves 0    … Expand

The shooting dynamics are boring the stealth leaves so much to be desired and honestly the story feels like you just watched some revenge show on Netflix and wrote then bought the story from some freshman at film school. So besides how good the graphics are. Which is this games o e reading quality. Like damn good btw. The rest of this game is boring sad and a huge disappointment… 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]
