    This game is a masterpiece. I created an account just to write this. Pretend you never saw the leaks. Take the story for what it is, as a whole, not as plot points pasted in a list. Every decision they made serves the story and the narrative points they were trying to make. Every decision they took, though heart wrenching and angering worked for the experience.

Take the story for what it is, as a whole, not as plot points pasted in a list. Every decision they made serves the story and the narrative points they were trying to make. Every decision they took, though heart wrenching and angering worked for the experience. You don't have to enjoy a story for it to be good. Sometimes things that we hate we also love. Endings don't need to be happy. And in terms of pushing video games forward into the realm of true artistic expression this game is a major step forward for the entire industry. Take a chance, it will be worth it and you will not regret the time you spend with this work.… Expand

    NO SPOILERS. I PERSONALLY RATE THIS 8.9/10 but I will be putting 10/10 because too many users bombed this review as 0/10.

    Before I start this, I will say that if I've known the spoilers/ending before grabbing a copy, yeah I'll probably hate the game too. Because the way people spoiled the story did not include how the characters built up the events to get there. The build up to the end    NO SPOILERS.

    Before I start this, I will say that if I've known the spoilers/ending before grabbing a copy, yeah I'll probably hate the game too. Because the way people spoiled the story did not include how the characters built up the events to get there. The build up to the end of the game consists most of what is good in the game. You'll SURELY hate it at some points, and that's what ND is actually getting at. You will be forced to play the game against your own will because you're just the one who controls the character, not the one who makes decisions. People missed the point of the game, saying the it's about forgiveness, if that's what you've heard. Well, it's more than that. Playing it with no spoilers will be one of your best experiences in a PS4 game. Just like what the main character feels, you won't feel like accepting what is about to happen. And Naughty Dog sure did that part.

    Gameplay: The gameplay alone gives it away. 10/10. There are MASSIVE maps and grounds where you have the choice to explore further or just evade the area, despite having a linear flow story. One exciting thing here is the wide range of upgrades for weapons and ability. You're going to have to think smart about this since you have scarce resources. This is a Naughty Dog game, so you should know what to expect when it comes to the details of the game. The way the player can control the character is just something you are going to geek about. The controls are still familiar, nothing to worry about. It's not that hard to learn the new moves added. Even the most subtle details are story driven. The way enemies react. The way your character reacts. Very real. Make sure to explore the areas!

    Story: NO SPOILERS. It's not perfect. But the way the story was executed may redeem it. There's this one part that is gonna make you want to get it over with because you want to know what is going to happen next. Easily, this is a 8.5/10, just minus 1.5 for some plot cliche. So moving on, the story will make you feel the hatred your character rages in. People will say there is no character development, but there is. And the lack of thereof is actually a part of it. As the player, you get to connect with the characters as you go on with their journey. Remember, you control the character but it's not your decision that is being made. In this way, you can feel what THEIR feeling, also thanks to the good acting. To be honest, this game could break your heart or could just make you hate it. But that is because that's how good the story goes. Hating it is actually what makes this game good, story-wise. That's the point of it, after all. To feel that bringing something to an end will fill the void pain, longing, and hatred caused, but no. It will always leave you feeling empty, no matter how much you desire revenge. Because again, that's how real this game could get. Remember, this is not like the Uncharted series where every ending meets a happy ending, or a fulfilling impression. This game takes place in a world where sometimes people have no choice but to do what has to be done, even if it's against their moral code. And this "moral code" may be the reason why so many players hate this game, but remember, being human is complex. Mind gets f*cked up and it can get really dark that it makes a person feel enraged to have the strength to do things (good or bad), but it also gets vulnerable once a person reaches a breaking point, so you just get to leave things, finished or unfinished. Again, that's how REAL the game gets. Too real, maybe some can say.

    If you're the kind of person who really looks closely into the character of a game, you'll get a lot of insights from playing this game, more so than you think you'll ever have about it. Glad to have it in my collection. This takes a place in my all-time favorites.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is Improved from the first including combat and stealth mechanics. Graphics and overall world building is gorgeous. Little to no glitches. Everything feels very polished. But the main problem most people seem to have with the game, is the story. Or lack there of. I would like to touch on that topic to finish my humble review. First, people say Joel's death was a waste, and was simply just an excuse to continue the series. False. Joel made a sacrifice that affected the entire world's future and while we love Ellie and Joel's development, what Joel did was unforgivable in the eyes of the rest of the world. Including Ellie. If you think he didn't deserve to die, you're living in ignorance of what his actions mean for everyone else. Further exploring those consequences makes for an interesting Revenge/Forgiveness angle. The ending has harbored more hate for this game than I think I've ever seen. I would have liked the ending to have happened differently as well. But the way it happened, regardless of what people think, still goes in line with the story of this particular game. Second, the Homosexuality displayed a "few" times throughout the game is upsetting to many people, simply because they believe that some sort of SJW agenda is being forced down their throats. This is ridiculous to say the least. Not once did I feel that way, because the moments when it happen are so few, and the main focus is on Ellie and her journey to get revenge for Joel. Perhaps certain things pull people out of their comfort zones, and for many, that can leave a bad taste in their mouth. Many could agree that the characters acting as side roles in the game are a little bland and uninteresting, and I could agree with that. But I still don't feel like them existing took anything away from the story. In a game coming off of so much success from it's predecessor, you would think there would have been more dynamic characters they could have worked with. But sadly, TLOU1 had very few characters that we cared about besides Ellie and Joel. Which might be a single downfall of the original. Because now we have to start from scratch. Dina and Jesse and other side characters atleast felt like real people with real problems that an audience should be able to connect with. But again, the story obviously cares solely about Ellie and her journey. So they fall to the wayside. Which is fine. The games build up and thrilling moments become more intense when it's just you and you have noone to rely on But yourself. I give this game an 8 and not a 9 because the story could have had some more quality. I defend it against the hate it's been receiving mainly because the majority of hate directed towards this game is unwarranted. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's come to my attention, after reading several, several reviews, that most people found one thing wrong with the game that has driven them to say what they say. And that's the story. And that's fair. But not fair enough to give the game a 3. So many people have a problem with different aspects of the story, so they want to lump every part of it together, roll it up, and say it is all trash. And that is not fair. So many moments in this game shined very brightly, and made for an enjoyable experience. And sadly a few moments made me realize just where that hate was coming from. But I'm glad to say that there was way more good than bad. Final notes
    If you're looking to play a gorgeous game with intense thriller/horror style gameplay, with fast paced action, high quality stealth mechanics, rewarding adventuring, and overall a decent story line. Then try this game. Whatever you do, don't read hateful reviews about this game first. Try it for yourself and make an opinion based on your own experience. If you loved the first game, you will most definitely enjoy this game as well. Even if there are story moments you don't like. There will be moments you love as well. I hope those shine brighter for you like they did for me.    … Expand

    Lo jugué con un amigo y nos engancho mucho por todo el suspenso y curiosidad que se creaba por saber que hará Ellie y durante el proceso conocemos muchas emociones que son para reflexionar y aplicar en nuestra vida. Tal vez es un poco exagerado o largo las rutas, puede llegar a cansar, pero luego de se punto, el juego es perfecto.

    Story 2/10

    It's not because Joel died but HOW he died!

    The Joel in the sequel completely contradicts who he was in the 1st just to favour the plot.
    That is a pure example of poor storytelling .

    Being forced to play a irredeemable character for the later half of the game is just pointless and feels infuriating to play!

    This is not a troll review, just genuinely dissatisfied after a lengthy wait for a game that didn't deliver.

    And the ending did not pay off at all.    … 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.
