    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like many said- 10/10 graphics and 8/10 gameplay. 3/10 story. And i'm not a bloody homophobe, bigot, 'mysogynist' or a transphobe. i just hate the **** dumpsterfire of a story. So dont hit me with those petty arguments. This story basically made Joel an idiot. He trusts Abby for no reason, and casually reveals his name. "oH, bUt jOeL liVEd in pEaCE fOr 5 yEarS." No. You completely brush aside the 25+ years of hardened surviving he went through. Read other reviews for the rest of the story. I'm just here to tell you why my review wasn't higher. for a story-based game, if the story is terrible, there isnt a reason to put the rating higher. If you like the game, it's your choice. Thank you, bye.… Expand

    The only good thing about this thing is the graphics, it shows that this game is not made with the intention that people enjoy it but to make political propaganda and impose the political idealism of certain sectors in addition to forcing the politically correct to the people and not only that it shows that the intention of the game is to make a hate speech towards men.

The role that Abby has, is absurd in my opinion, so many people that Joel killed and now they came out with it, I understand that, but, the reason for Ellie's revenge they destroy it in a minute, he killed the only person whom Ellie could consider father and destroyed your family. I consider that they did not take those factors into account. graphically it is cute, but, they damaged what could be the best title in HISTORY. 0… Expand

    but the worst part is the plot you don't kill the most beloved character of the game and then make you control its killer trying to justify why she did that you can't just love a character after what she did and o god what they did during the trailer making us believe that joel was gonna be in the game but no at the end was another character that is not something that you do to your fans but hey he killed her father yeah a medic that just took in a day the decision to kill ellie you don't just do that as doctor there are more thing you can do as a doctor to develop a vaccine even if its possible to make one, if you are a fan I just recommend you to play it if you want to watch get a bad ending that is not satisfactory    … Expand

Killing off Joel was a **** insult and the switch in the narrative was completely mishandled. Robbed the game of any sense of momentum. Absolutely hated my experience with it.

    When I was 4, I grew up playing whatever video games I could get my hands on. I’ve become a fan of several amazing, immersive single player games like PS4 Spiderman, Uncharted Series and Crash Bandicoot. A newly released single player game called The Last of US Part 2, a sequel to the Last of US created and directed by Neil Druckmann, was a very anticipated game of the year for gamers. Before I get into it, a major leak about the game was exposed that fans were upset about. Many were quite eerie on buying the game because of this, but I decided to pre-order the game anyways because I was excited for it. In the end, once I had finished the game, I came to the conclusion that this game was Beautifully Flawed! However, I wasn’t alone.

    After a few weeks following its release, The Last of US Part 2 has seen a spectacular amount of reviews with thousands -- if not millions -- of polarizing standpoints. According to Metacritic, a forum of reviews similar to rotten tomatoes but mainly for video games, revealed that The Last of US 2 (for short) had over 100,000 reviews which is insane for one video game with people either really -- and I mean really -- hating or loving the game .

    The game has been polarizing due to Joel’s death because of the type of sendoff he got. To summarize, Joel and his brother Tommy find a girl named Abby and all three were being overrun by infected in a snowy hideout in the mountains. During their escape, Tommy decides to reveal their names to Abby. Eventually they make it out and the brothers meet Abby’s group. Suddenly, Abby shoots Joel with a shot gun, while others in the group severely injure Tommy. Joel is then beaten to death with a golf club by Abby with Ellie, her father figure, watches hopelessly. Many fans were angry that they saw Joel coldly killed off with no honorable or awesome death. This polarizing moment initially led fans to hate the game and even give one the idea to Cut the Disk in Half with Scissors (YouTube: Skippa). I was fine, but very distraught when that happened.

    Another sorrowful moment is portrayed through the games parallel of characters when it brings you to a shocking climax that players can’t do anything about. Halfway through the game, the player is brought to a very big and sorrow climax where one of Ellie’s best friends dies by the enemy her group was trying to hunt and kill. When I least expected it, Neil Druckmann made a bold move and decided to switch the point of view of the supposed antagonist Abby and you play her the same amount of time as you do Ellie. When Druckmann switched the POV of Abby, he created a parallel showing the similarities of Abby and Ellie between what happened in the first game. Many fans didn’t like that switch because the bad guy kills a good person and we the player are to feel sorry from her perspective from last game’s events. What Druckmann did was very bold – so bold, that a good number of fans of the game decided to stop playing it.

    Despite the sadness, there are still fantastic things in the game players will enjoy. The gameplay itself is fantastic. The graphics are jaw dropping, the audio is creepily crisp! As an avid gamer, and after reading a myriad of reviews, I can understand why reviews are so different from each other. Gamers and Reviewers, I know will agree that this game offers a new realistic sense that is improving with time.

    Once you finish the game you won’t come out happy. In fact, you’ll probably ask yourself if this game was worth it because of how sad and dark it was. In all honesty, the game was Beautifully Flawed. Fantastic with sound, graphics, enemies, as well as some meaningful characters within the game and the different plot points. Flawed because revenge is never always the answer and closure allow people to move forward. Overall, this game is something I would highly recommend not because of the zombie gameplay, but because of how unique and bold the story was as this was the first story in any type of film that I have seen that’s brought storytelling to a new level.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert!. This game will go down as the best game story game to turn to ****

    *****************Buy a used copy of this game******************Dont give money to this company for a game that destroyed an amazing possible series****************

    1st. Im gonna address the biggest counter argument that most people at naughty dog seem to claim when they see a bad score/review against the game: Politically Im very much left leaning pro-gay rights, pro lgtb and very much a advocate for do what makes you happy and be whoever you want if it makes you happy person. However , then comes this game set in a end of the word scenario whose main character Ellie is gay with her girlfriend. So far seems fine with me here, they could have made a beautiful love story tying these 2 characters together and bringing the fans even closer to Ellie and this new lover or hers. Then you have Dina, another gay/bi character getting in a relationship with Ellie. Ok fine. Good representation to the LGBT community and a decent love story could have made these two glow in recognition from everyone. Then you have Abby an unlikely character possible in "the end of the world" with muscles that consume 10,000 calories a day and require 3 hours at the gym daily. This is where the problems start, ok so now we have another gay character that everyone ends up hating but ok. So the 3 main characters are gay/lgtb. Then you have a 4th character Lev that joins Abby that TURNS OUT is ANOTHER LGTB character than joins and become part of the main story line. Now up until now you could let things pass, but now you throw you hands up in the air tired of the PANDERING and at this point PREACHING of this whole social justice warrior intentional normalization "agenda" being shoved down your throat in a game that you just want to play to have fun. Everyone easily recognized as straight was killed off. however in a apogalactic game with just a few thousand people alive in the US, and in this world , the only survivors are the gay people. like REALLY??? These people have become exactly the type of person that they had set out to destroy.

    Now in regards to the game. Best word to describe it :Terrible!

    Let be realistic here, just as the first game, This is not a game with incredible gameplay and amazing in depth content. This Part 2 and it was part 1, is a game Heavily STORY DRIVEN. Is a game that will redact the characters in a form that you can empathize with them learn to love them or to hate them. I remember in the first game me continuously had me laughing and going at Ellie :"What the hell is up with this little **** as a response to her snarky and Whitty attitude that was just a front for her ever growing fatherly love towards Joel. In this game Ellie has lost all personality and likeness , basically an Emmo Young Woman that kills and murders with no reassuring reason as to why. Joel was murdered and deleted from his main role 2 hours into the game. This was the biggest mistake. Im not against killing Joel just against how they did it without adding any real meaning and value to the story. Sure revenge was the underlying tone for Ellie to hunt Abby but there were so many deviations that it just felt like that really wasn't the driving force in the game and much less when YOU SEE THE ENDING!! HOLY **** What kills the story mainly is the addition of this Abby Character. The killer of Joel who they make you play for half of the game while you are hating her for just killing your previous main character. There is so much more I could put down but this is more than enough to hate any story driven games.

    The only good thing about this game is the amazingly beautiful graphics and sounds details. I did love the gore of the game and the individualistic setting of the enemies calling themselves by names all the time, which made it even more closer to real life. In my opinion First play the first game then go to Ebay and buy a used copy of this game. Dont give your money to this company for atrociously destroying an amazing franchise.

    I could have given this game a 6/10 but after seeing how many "Professional" Reviews Naughty Dog bought , I will counter with what they really deserve. 0/10    … 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]
