    I enjoyed some few parts, but for me it is too disappointing... You liked it? Good. I understand why some people would enjoy it, but this is not what i wanted.

    The risk does not always justify the means. this game is proof of that. It couldn't get any worse. I am not a tolerant Christian and this game is contrary to my beliefs.

I’m glad naughty dog wanted to try something different with the perspective of characters and it really developed the post apocalyptic very well through doing this; however, in some parts it went way too far. I didn’t mind playing as abby for the most part. As for joel dying, It was pretty sad how it happened so easily for him and it was pretty much fate. As the story unfolded, however, it was pretty clear that he deserved to die, at least Abby had good motivation to do so. Joel’s death really motivated me as well, to go kill every single person involved. I was so angry and furious and heartbroken, that when i played as Ellie seeking revenge i truly wanted to kill all of them, i didnt even care, i thought well, i don’t mind joel dying as long as i can kill every last one of them, to me his death would be worth it. Then we got to play as abby. Of course i disliked abby, but it was nice to see into the life of another community and see that they are very human. I think they could have made abby so much more likable though, she wasn’t even liked by her friends that much and i don’t know, i feel like if you make someone kill joel then make us play that character you better make that character even more likeable than ellie, and they kind of failed at that for me at least. Despite that, playing as abby was interesting and made me feel at least a little empathy for her, yet i still hoped for revenge against her which is why i didn’t mind playing as her. This was until my least favorite part of the game came...they made us play as abby, and beat the **** out of ellie. Honestly it was the worst part of the game for me and if this wasn’t in it i would have loved the game so much more. It upset me that the character i wanted revenge against the most beat up the character that was so beloved by me and the character i was rooting for throughout the game, and i had to do it. It was
    honestly so messed up to me. After that, i felt sick to my stomach and just wanted to stop playing. How does naughty dog expect us to like that part of the game? Why do they think our interests to beat up ellie would aline with abby’s when you showed her brutally kill joel? I was so disappointed and i just wanted to stop, but i continued. Honestly i just wanted to be over with it, but of course we got sent back to try and find abby, I’m not sure if i cared anymore, at this point i disliked the writers more than abby for making me do that to ellie. Then we finally find abby and we beat her but we decide not to kill her. I didn’t hate the ending but i can’t say i understood why ellie
    chose that...i think she realized joel really was a ****ty person and possibly took away the vaccine from man kind (based on the flash back that happened at the end) but she loved him too, and the reason she was even living was because of him and she knew that. I don’t know, honestly i wish we killed abby, but we both have gone through so much **** i don’t know if i even cared anymore.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, the trailers sell a complete different game, it makes you think that this game is focused on Ellie and Joel, like the first one, but the reality is totally different. I feel fooled.

    For me the story is very important in games and in this games it is so poorly written, the characters that we know and we love are not there, it feels like the person who wrote the first forgot who they were. Joel could spot an ambush a mile away but in this game he trusts everyone without a reason and he literally throws himself to the wolves.
    The treatment he got was not deserved, he's just used as a plot device. All the things that made the part one so good are absent here, especially the ralationship between Joel and Ellie.

    Tommy forced Ellie to search for revenge when she was over it because he couldn't get it himself?! is this really Tommy?

    Then you are obligated to play as the Joel's killer for over 10h, and the game tries to force you into liking her giving you useless reasons that of course don't work.

    And at the end surprise there is a message, Ellie lets Abby go because vengeance doesn't give you anything instead it makes you loose everything. Really? It's weird because Ellie didn't get vengeance but at the same time she lost everything and even if she had the intention to break the cycle of vengeance, how many people did she kill before the confrontation with Joel's killer? One more person to her victims wouldn't have made a difference, even better, the game would have ended with ,the only reason that made me play all these hours with Abby, vengeance for the undeserved death of Joel.    … Expand

    definitely, is one of the best video games i ever played. First, the game-play is so good, it mix the action with the dynanism, making a really satisfactory (and inmersive) experience. Also, graphics are beautiful and very realistics. The attention to detail in this game is wonderful: the characters reactions, interaction with the environment, the looting realism, etc. Finally, the storydefinitely, is one of the best video games i ever played.

A simple and complex story at once, there are a lot of things to analize in this game. Its'not a perfect story, but manages to tell it own message and that's the most important. Definitely, this is one of the most beautiful games of the history. A message for angry players: we dont have to criticize consumed by hatred, if you dont liked the game that's perfect, but The Last Of Us Part II doesnt deserve a 0.

In my PERSONAL OPINION and as a long time TLOU Follower this sequel should be scored by a solid 7/10 (Reasons: Such game is built on it’s narrative and character's and Naughty Dog failed to delivers)    … Expand

    The last of us Part 2 is amazing. I'm still playing the game and I'm amazed with everything, like in the first game. The graphics are amazing, the story is really cool and the characters are very remarkable. I don’t Know why all those bad reviews.

Gameplay is at another level here, it's ridiculously fun and challenging. I think it's as good as the first. Don't go into this with certain plot expectations and you'll love it. The effort put into the accessibility options is superb. The people at Naughty Dog should be proud of what they've achieved with this game.… Expand

    If its not a last of us game, I will rate it higher. Its a average game with bad storyline. Visuals, voice acting & music are amazing but this is a story base game & story is bad. I love Tlou but part 2 is worst compare to part 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog delivered yet another masterpiece with their narrative driven games in one Last of Us Part 2. Ellie's journey is one of the most heart wrenching and immersive experience you can play on the current gen of console. The addition of characters are well thought of that it really gives you a lot of perspectives in life. The game makes you recognize if you are the villain in the story. I also felt that if you didn't understand what or why these things happened in part 2 then you don't know anything about Last of Us at all.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A phenomenal fiasco who can't live up to the first game. I couldn't stop comparing it to TLOU 1 while playing and got so disappointed. Killing off one major character for shock value just to "launch" that **** revenge story. No hope in this game, just anxiety and depression. The characters weren't loveable, even those we knew from the first game. Oh wait, the only characters I cared about were Tommy and Owen. Critics aren't objective about this game and it makes me sick. And no, this game is far from being a masterpiece with tons of plot holes. It's an okay game at best. And it's definitely not GOTY. Now no wonders why everyone on ND abandoned ship! Not buying any more games from them, as they keep trolling fans on social media instead of just taking criticism and make better games.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing! If you liked the first one then you’ll love this, it’s more of the same but bigger, faster, more detailed, more immersive! The story isn’t as good as the first one but it’s a different game, it does however feel like a continuation of the story from the first game and certain events that take place however terrible they may be you can perhaps understand why those involved wanted to do what they did! It’s by no means a bad story, it’s not bad at all it’s just different but still fantastic!! Makes you think is revenge ever worth it? The way the game invokes emotion is unreal, I had stopped playing a couple of times as it was all too much! I felt drained in the same way you’d expect the characters to be tired! Where in the first game you could strategically hide in one location for as long as you like whilst planning your next move, in part 2 they NPC’s are looking for you and will find you! This keeps you on your toes constantly! The gameplay is effortless and everything you want to do, can be done! On a technical level, it’s a masterpiece, i look at the reflections and although i know they didn’t use ray tracing, the reflections are just that good! The frame rate is solid 30fps in 1440p on the Pro and only the only time it ever dipped was when i was in water! Which i might add accounts for about 2 mins of the 30hours in game.
    This game is a must have, if you don’t get it then it’s you’re loss entirely! Honestly 10 out of 10 and possibly the best game of this generation and one of the top ten greatest games ever released!    … 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]
