    a great game, but it makes me depressed, I don’t agree with the ending, there should be a continuation and completion of the plot.
    The game is very cruel!

    Excelente jugabilidad y los mejores gráficos de esta generación, pero pésima historia que arruinó la franquicia.

    I trust naughty dog so much,so I spent 60$ and pre-order this **** game. This must be the worst story I ever seen in my life. When I forced to play as someone I hate so much, i just stop playing and turn off my console. It really hurt my mental heath. I gave 1 point for the fascinating graphics.

    La muerte más estúpida que he visto en un videojuego y para un personaje excelente, menuda basura. Sí, supone ser un juego crudo, pero aún así que mal manejaron la forma en que muere Joel.

    A very controversy, brave and emotional game. I was not expecting that deepness and perfection in telling a story that realy hurts the actual enviroment that we live in, giving visibility and suporting causes without ruining the story and actually giving it a great direction to go foward. Great experience, best game in ps4, Maybe best game ever.

    Forcibly using the death of the previous generation to sublimate the game is something that the weak will do. If you feel that such a storyline is used to perfunctory players, you have done it.
    Isn't playing games full of sensory stimulation? Why bring the set of your real hobbies into the game?
    If Ellie was killed, Joel will use his life force to destroy the opponent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us: Part 2 wasn’t a terrible game in any way shape or form, under any other title it would be seen as a great game. But the fact that the initial game was so great and the standards were so high for a sequel, it somehow seemed destined to fail. It was one of the most beautiful games I’ve played. The attention to detail of the characters and the feels of the areas you explore are immensely pleasing. The core visual of the game could be mistaken for cutscenes at points. I can tell the effort put into the game visually and gameplay wise were very thorough and it showed. Where the game kind of lost me was the storyline and the feelings the game left me with. When I ended the game I set down my controller and I didn’t feel positive, I didn’t feel as if I completed a great triumph or just had an unforgettable experience with the game. It left me in regret. I wish I hadn’t played the game. A lot of the story seems out of place. There are flashbacks in random points that either interrupt the story or don’t give anything really meaningful, (though the flashbacks with Joel were very beautiful and sweet to play through). The characters had no meaning to me because they were introduced and were killed before we got to know them, and they are either 1)later revealed to be a good person and we should feel guilty for it (I never felt guilty) or 2) were not touched on at all for the rest of the game. The plot was very simple minded. We all would want to get revenge in a situation Ellie was put in obviously but I feel like it could’ve taken a much better and more controversial approach, where it could leave you wondering if you made the right decision or not. I didn’t mind Joel’s death, in fact I think it needed to happen, but the revenge plot just made the story seem one-dimensional. Additionally, a lot of the points I felt bored with the repetitious gameplay and it didn’t feel like anything new or dangerous was around the corner. Lastly, the whole zombie/ infected outbreak was kind of abandoned. Not a single important person was bit or infected which gave me the impression that they kind of got rid of the outbreak being a point to drive/ break the story. It felt wrong in that sense. In conclusion, The Last of Us: Part 2 is a ‘good’ game but the fact that it was a sequel to one of the best games to have graced our screens made it feel pretty poorly thought out and executed. I didn’t wait 7 years to play a ‘good’ game after I had played an unforgettable experience. It, in all honesty, left me with a sick taste in my mouth and makes me not want to touch another story driven game for a long while because I’m afraid to be left with the same taste… Expand

My issue was having to play this new character called Abby. I couldn't care less about her and approximately 50% of the game you play as her. She's hollow, uninteresting and unlikable and I just couldn't connect with her the same way I did with Joel and Ellie in part 1.

    I ended up reducing the difficult to very light. I had no desire to improve skills and gun specs. I stopped looting vaults and cupboards/drawers altogether. Despite all of this, her parts still felt like an eternity. It completely ruined the game for me.    … Expand

    From the technical standpoint, the visuals are really good... that's it. The gameplay becomes repetitive and tiring very quickly, and when I think of it, it would probably have been the same with TLOU 1 if it wasn't for how invested we were in the story and the relationship between Ellie and Joel, on top of being accompanied with some excellent narrative elements.

    The best bits of TLOU2 are precisely the flashbacks featuring Joel and Ellie... if you decided to make a sequel, THAT was the game you should have made as that's what I would have been interested into.

    Instead, TLOU2 is a soulless return to the same universe of the first game but with characters and a story I just don't give a damn about and without being invested in the story it makes this game far less enjoyable, to the point where I found it repetitive and tiring...    … Expand

This game was a real let down not worth the money, I will never play it again in my eyes the Last of us 2 was a fan fiction realised by fans and is not a real continuation of the first game. The way Joel is killed is really disappointing and downright disrespectful and being forced to play as Abby for hours was awful I didn't care for her story at all I hated playing as her and then not even being able to kill her at the end of the game was stupid and a real letdown. For me the franchise ended with Ellie and Joel on the hillside and never had a sequel.… Expand

    With all this new technology and moderate gameplay improvements (but no one really played for the gunplay tbh) it had set the stage to completely outshine its legacy and create a true game of the year or even decade, all of its hard hitting emotional scenes fall flat or worse, induce a feeling of dis-satisfaction and disappointment, the relationship between the players and the characters was handled with utter contempt, with no saving grace between them, if we can even call them the same characters, many of them do not act consistently and often jump to irrational and illogical decisions that have been shown repeatedly to be against their entire backstory and demeanor.

    I don't know if the original writers were bought back for this game, but i heavily doubt it, TLOU was not a game that can stand up based on its gunplay alone, 80% of its core was a compelling story with relatable and consistent characters, its successor needed to be handled with the utmost care and tact, of which it failed to the point that im not sure if they were even trying, i feel bad for the coders and programmers that poured so much of their heart into it, because that does show, the writing team had failed the game, the company and their co-workers, its madness that no one tried to pull them up on it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game:
    Gameplay is at a high level. There are mechanics from the first part but there is also a lot of new ones, for example crawling - it gives a lot of new opportunities during movement and during fights. I think that thanks to such mechanics, the game is almost not boring. Of course, the graphics are wonderful and realistic. Character faces always look vivid at different times. The sound setting is also very good. You can see that the naughty dog ​​always keeps the level of its games.

    Story:
    In my opinion, not everything must always go our way. This game is just like that. Not predictable and suspenseful. Many people may not like the fact that we play the killer of our favorite character. I was that person myself. However, after learning about Abby's story, we can come to the conclusion that she is not really a bad character. Yes, she killed Joel, but all she wanted was revenge for her father. The ending in my opinion is also very good and leaves a lot of unspoken words. Anyway, it does the same as the first part. I think the game is brilliant and I had a lot of wonderful moments with it. I hope to come back to Ellie's story one day and find out what happened.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We are December 3rd, 2016, during the Playstation Experience, we finally discover the first trailer of TLOU2. Do you remember the cheers of the crowd and the happiness that we all felt when Joel finally appear? Do you remember the scream of joy when we saw in another trailer Joel saying "You think I would let you do this on your own"? This is how TLOU2 has been advertised for us fans of the 1st game and in love with those two characters and this is how we thought the game would be and should have been.
    I will talk about the story because I think we all agree that graphism and the OST are incredible and the gameplay mostly good.
    We arrived in an apocalyptic world where some people are mad against Ellie for being lesbian and where Ellie is disrespecting Joel because she has her puberty maybe. This already puts the tone of the story. After 1 hour and half-interesting, we meet the second playable characters of the game, Abby. I didn't expect to play another character since the director of the game said explicitly that only Ellie would be playable. The biggest problem of this game is the incoherence in all character's actions and I will explain why it's inherent to justify my grade of 3.
    Joel is a survivor that is able to guess an ambush in the first game and that told Ellie to never gave her name or trust strangers (We see that she follow those rules during the Winter Part in the first TLOU). Nonetheless, in this game, he follows a stranger into a lodge and give his name to everyone there and follow them into a room without escaping possibilities. After the massacre that he did to the hospital with the fireflies, he must know for sure that some people might want him to die. Ellie is a lost character in that game. She smokes weed and has sex in the middle of a building crowded with infected and where she can die every second, which is stupid and incoherent with the situation. She followed Abby around all the countries and kills thousands of innocents and a dog (The studio said that you are not obligated to kills any dogs in the game but it's false, you are obligated to kill one which I didn't like since I have a german dog too). All those deaths to reach Abby and when she reaches her and can kill her she doesn't.
    Abby finally, is incoherent in her decision. Every intelligent person would have killed Ellie like Joel killed Marlene in the first game. It was sure that Ellie would follow Abby for revenge and after killing all her friends, she decides once again to not kill her. (Maybe because she is a girl because she killed every guy but not Dina & Ellie). The game tried to make us have compassion for Abby but it's impossible after what she did. It was torture to play as Abby for 10 hours after what she did and it would have been more suitable to put that part with Abby before she kills Joel.
    Dina looks more like a love interest and isn't an interesting character, Jesse is interesting, Tommy is useless and Lev is here just to promote transsexuality and inclusivity because the only thing they say about her is that she shaved her head and is a man. The game gravitates around revenge and tries to tell us that revenge is bad but doesn't succeed because Abby got what she wants by taking revenge so we as players want to have ours too. The final let us frustrated and we felt very down when we think of all the lives lost, all the sacrifices done and all the hours we played. We lose so many characters, some with very bad injuries such as Ellie and Tommy and we lose everything as Ellie finish alone. This game doesn't accomplish anything and the only happy ending is the one of Abby that has her happy ending thanks to revenge. The game tried to make us have compassion for Abby and make us realize that Joel is a bad guy but Joel only killed for surviving and by love while Abby killed by hate. The only "innocent" life that Joel took was one of the surgeons, the dad of Abby. I understand the volunteer of the studio to deal with feelings such as remorse, compassion, and self-identity but this is totally not coherent in a world such as The Last of Us. To survive you have to kill and don't have places here. Self Identity about being a guy doesn't have its place, you talk about an apocalyptic world, I don't think it's the primary issue on someone mind here.
    I think that this game has been ruined by the agenda that the studio had and all the contributors that give their touches to the game. The person playing Lev had racist tweets, Ellie in the flashbacks has a more masculine face because of some feminists activist and I truly think that the idea of the game was to get rid of the male character to put a woman that breaks the rules with a man body. I waited 7 years for the other game, I trusted Naughty Dog on it because it's my favorite studios and all my favorite games are from them but they let us down with this one. I truly think that this game was made for people that didn't even play the first one or knew 2 years ago    … Expand

    I was looking forward a story with positive meaning ... but this is a story of losers. You learn that revenge is not the answer but it never was! Abby is infact the character I hate the most. She ruined everything for revenge and she knows It because she kept loosing people due to it!

    I just feel very frustrated after playing it ... you do not want to see your heros defeated and also playing as the one ruins everything is something I don’t understand.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The developers obviously do not understand what made the first last of us game so good. Killing of Joel right after he saves Abby's life (it's not even a quick death, its a slow torturous death) doesn't get justified by the 10 hours + or so of game time that you "have" to play as Abby. Those 10+ hours are pretty weak narratively as well. I don't get how someone who played the first last of game can potentially like this game. The backlash is completely justified and a lot of things seem forced. The DLC was nicely done and when it's revealed that Ellie is gay it was a really wholesome moment. However, the Dina/Ellie chemistry is just lacking and lot of times is completely forced. I would say steer clear of any Naughty Dog games, never pre-order, and save your money to support other game developers.… Expand

The trailers produced led everyone to believe certain characters would be in the game at certain stages and this was never the case. I understand how marketing works but this may have tricked thousands. Overall I would have to give it a 4, characters from the first game completely doing things which they would have never done in the first game and many other things. The story has left me wanting more and it’s simply not good enough. Like many others I waited over 7 years for this, just to be truly let down. Hurt would be the best way to describe this feeling. Could have been so much more different.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My actual rating would be a 7.5, but I’ll round down due to my overwhelming sense of disappointment in this game. Mechanically this game is flawless. The graphics are beautiful and one of the best I’ve seen and played. I commend Naughty Dog for improving a combat/stealth system that felt perfect already. I also believe the level design and voice acting are big strengths as well. However, while these things were great in the The Last of Us, the narrative and writing is what makes that game one of the greatest of all time. The Last of Us Part 2 falls very short in those regards. There are far too many coincidences in the story; Abby stumbling upon Joel and Tommy, Ellie losing her map out of her closed backpack for Abby to find, someone magically coming from California who saw Abby. These are a few instances of the lazy writing that is prevalent in this game, something I never would’ve guessed I’d be saying about a Last of Us game. Character motivations aren’t clear, and new characters are so poorly written and forced upon the gamer. They give us no reason to care about Jesse, Dina, Abby, and/or any of Abby’s friends. This game also lacks the moral ambiguity that it’s esteemed predecessor had. This game paints everything as good or bad, and tries to teach a lesson we already knew and was done much better in other media, that murder is wrong and revenge leads to more violence. However the biggest sin in this game for me is the Abby section. In this 25 hour game, you play close to half of it as Abby. Including a near 11 hour stretch in the middle of the game while being left on a cliffhanger. I don’t understand why Naughty Dog thought we would go for that. Not one person wanted to play as anyone other than Ellie or Joel before this game was released, and they damn sure didn’t want to play as Abby after we see what she does to Joel. Just an idea, if you want people to care about a character, don’t have her brutally murder one of the most beloved video game characters of all time in the first 3 hours of the game. That was a terrible decision, and is pretty indefensible. Overall this is an amazing game mechanically, but The Last of Us Part 2 needs more than that to stand up the the first installment. What made the first game have such lasting impact is exactly what is missing from the second game. I am seriously disappointed with this game, and it has dashed my excitement for future games in this franchise. Hopefully they can right the ship in the future, but I don’t have much hope for that.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game can be played as either a fan of the franchise or someone who has not played the first game. I am the former. A fan of the first game and hence I will review this as a fan of the first game and what made it special and what it built.

    Graphics: 9/10.

    Graphically the game looks very good. The details to the environments, the light, the textures, the models, the fluid animations. The physics is incredible. All is top notch.

    Gameplay: 7/10.

    The gameplay at first is very good but after roughly half way through the game, it becomes quite repetitive. You have to always repeatedly press square fast in close encounters. To use melee you press square. Every quick time event is square. And these occur very often in the game. The puzzles also start to become very repetitive and monotonous. And a lot of your time is spent in cut scenes which is not gameplay.

    Story: 0/10.

    The biggest problem with the game is the story. This game is not isolated on its own, in the sense that it already established the personalities of the characters and also a fan base with the first game.

    Joel gets killed very early in the game by acting out of character in trusting complete strangers. Now, five years after the first game, you cannot tell anyone that within five years a person makes a complete 180 turn in terms of his personality. It just does not happen for adults. For teenagers, yes. But certainly not for adults who are living in a post-apocalyptic world which is unforgiving. The way Joel gets killed is very brutal and most importantly it does not do justice to his character. If you are going to kill off a beloved character, then make his death impactful, honorable, and memorable.

    The character Abby is not likeable and the unraveling of her motives do not redeem her. She comes in as a complete stranger, murders Joel in the most brutal way, and sets the revenge story on its path. The worst part is that we have to play as her for a substantial amount of the time. She murders just as much as Joel and Ellie have, yet she never actually has any mental breakdowns from her slaughtering. She seems plain and fake. Whereas Ellie kills a pregnant woman (in self defense I may add) and after she finds out that the woman is pregnant she pretty much suffers from what she has done. Ellie is much better written than Abby and there is no connection whatsoever with Abby.

    The story finished off by Ellie slaughtering her way through to get revenge for Joel's death, gets her fingers bit off by Abby and in the final fight against Abby, Ellie all of a sudden reaches the moral illumination that revenge and killing is bad and lets her walk away; Ellie comes home to just find that she is all alone and lost everything. The story is bad. Really bad.

    Score 4/10:

    Note also that this is a story-driven game. So the story has to be weighted more than gameplay and graphics. I weighted the story twice as much as gameplay and graphics since this is not an online fps where the story does not matter but the gameplay does.

    Hence, the final score is ( Graphics + Gameplay + Story + Story) / 4 = (9 + 7 + 0 + 0) / 4 = 16/4 = 4.

    Final score 2/10:

    Thus, the final score of the game that I would give is a 4. If there would have not been false marketing from Naughty Dog's side, that is. And this issue has to be addressed too in the final score. Naughty Dog has deliberately swapped models from the trailers which correspond to in-game scenes in order to manipulate fans. In trailers, we see some scenes with an older looking Joel. However, when we reach those particular scenes in-game, then we can see that those are flashbacks from the first game with the younger Joel from the first game. Such "grey zone" manipulation and giving a false sense that Joel will be much more in the game than he actually is should not be tolerated. It is immoral. Since the game does not exist independently of its developers, marketeers, and publisher, we have to include their reputable actions into the final score too. This immoral behavior cost the game 2 points. Hence, my final score is a 2/10.

    Final thoughts:

    I do not recommend this game to anyone who has played the first game and is a fan of Joel and Ellie. For those who have not played the first game, your experience might differ and perhaps you will enjoy the game as a standalone independent piece. But even then, this is most certainly not a 9.5-10/10 as these critics make it seem. Any rational person will give it a 4-7/10 (if you wish to ignore how the game was marketed; if not, then subtract 2 points).    … Expand

It’s a depressing, dragging video game that leaves you wanting to end much sooner than it does even after a couple of hours in. There was so much potential here to build off the legendary story telling of part I and in its own attempt to justify the revenge plot ends up trying to convince itself this is what it’s meant to be. The magic is gone and we’re left in a world where there is no hope, no reasoning, no light. You are left with a sour, unsweet taste of forcing a narrative that’s a complete disconnect from the prequel. As has been said before at least we have the first game and we can all use our imaginations to come up with a better succession to what we’ve experienced. Part II is a dark void of an alternative universe. Nothing is familiar here.… Expand

    Like many players here I write this review with much disappointment in my heart. I wish I could give a 10 out of 10 score like so many "pro" media did. But that just isn't how I feel about the game. I truly loved the first TLOU. I am no game designer nor a writer but I think there are many much better ways to continue this saga. In my opinion, Naughty Dog has failed tremendously. YouTuber Skill Up made the prefect comparison pf TLOU2 to Game of Thrones season 8. It's the same level of betrayal and disappointment I feel as a fan.

    The technical side of the game is where it shines. I love its visual, graphics, voice acting, music, motion capture, all top-notch work, even next-gen. It's the only reason it still scored a 4 for me. But its storytelling failed spectacularly. The first 10 to 15 hours of gameplay was fun, then it became so repetitive and predictable. All you need was the knife actually to beat the game. The gameplay became mind-numbingly dull, it became something I had to endure just to see the horrible story progress.

    Midway through the game, players are forced to play as Abby. A character I was led to despise for her brutal killing of Joel. I hated it. It's such a low-ball emotional manipulation effort I felt I was forced to accept. I hated every blow I delivered to Ellie. The worst part was the grand finale ending. The story just doesn't make any fxxking sense. It felt like emotional cheap shots with no real purpose.

    I rarely write reviews, but I feel like Naughty Dog needs to hear this. They've made a horrible game that I waited for 7 years but did not want to waste my time to finish. So I ended up watching YouTube videos just to see how the story ended. I was glad I didn't invest the time to play to the end. I wish I could get a refund on my time and money.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS: Now I admit that I haven't played the game personally. But I have watched enough walkthroughs that allow me to understand the direction of the story. This fact DOES NOT make my opinion less credible than someone else's because I know what I was looking for in a part 2 (which was the story) and Naughty Dog did not deliver on it. With that being said, here are my issues with this game:

    PROBLEMS: * Ellie and Joel do not have enough gameplay. Their relationship is what makes the first game great. But that is not built upon and ends prematurely in part 2. Flashback scenes feel like hurtful jabs after what transpires.
    *Supporting characters are dull and uninteresting. (Jesse, Dina, Owen, Manny, etc.)
    *Abby as a character fails to make me feel sorry for her. She feels no remorse when she takes lives and is motivated purely by her lust for blood. Ellie feels regret for her actions which is the human element that is missing in Abby.
    *Very disturbing sex scene. Extremely difficult on the eyes and has no purpose for storytelling.
    *Joel's death is dehumanizing to the character and makes no sense. Joel is very experienced with sketchy situations but somehow is oblivious to the danger of entering the company of complete strangers. Joel is tortured and killed in front of Ellie without a chance to mend their relationship after Ellie learns of what happened at the end of the first game.
    *After Abby kills Joel, bashes the head of a pregnant lady, kills the father of the baby, shoots Tommy in the eye we still play as her fighting Ellie. One of the only characters left that I am emotionally invested in. And we are still supposed to like this character?
    *After Ellie's revenge quest, killing all who was involved in Joel's death, the actual murderer is spared for seemingly no good reason. This robs the audience of a final conclusion.
    *Ellie is treated like the villian and loses everything. Loses her fingers so she can't play guitar like Joel taught her, loses her family in Dina and the baby, loses her bestfriend Jesse all for nothing in return.
    * All of these factors not only impact part 2 but the first game as well. I can no longer play the first game and look at these characters without thinking about where they will be in part 2. I can no longer save Ellie at the end without thinking, killing this one surgeon will ruin the franchise completely.

    CONCLUSION: All of these factors are the ingredients for a horrible storyline that is betraying to the fans and the characters. I'm sure that I haven't even stated all of my issues within the game still. I have also decided to leave out Naughty Dog scandals and real life mishaps even though they have destroyed any respect I have for the company. What angers fans like me the most is that the outrage was predicted and intentionally instigated by Naughty Dog and Niel Druckman. With that being said I will not buy the game and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy either.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off this game gets a zero because the devs lied through their teeth and sony enabled them.
    They initially said that ellie is the only playable character, player doesnt have to kill dogs and when the leaks came out in direct contradiction to these facts they tried to abuse the DMCA system to suppress it. This is disgusting behavior and needs to be called out and reprimanded sternly.
    On to the game.
    The games review will be divided in two parts. Story and gameplay. The gameplay is awesome but quickly becomes repetitive but what doesnt become repetitive is the at times breath taking vistas the game offers. This is by far a graphical masterpiece.
    The story is like **** donkey coming and **** all over the place. Abby kills joel, while showing no remorse. Ellie kills all her frens with a lot of remorse, in the end they fight but ellie now decides to let abby live? She loses joel her two fingers her partner and her kid meanwhile abby loses nothing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Since the release of the game a few days back, we see tons of people giving it some bad reviews only based on their superficial perception of it. Joel's death, Abby, a vengeance incomplete, and etcetera. But, as I said, is a superficial thing, of people who maybe didn't even play the game at all.

    The Last of Us 2 is a history of anger and frustration. Ellie's story about vengeance, is just a background for something a lot bigger: the human soul. When Joel die, initially you think that Ellie is just pissed and sad, and wants to kill every one who killed him, only because they killed him. But, I think that's not it. When you get to the ending, you actually see a cutscene showing exactly what Ellie and Joel talked in their last conversation, and that is why Ellie can't stand about his death.

    She was so mad at him because of what he did in the fireflies hospital, that she didn't want to talk with him anymore. But, in that conversation, she says that wants to forgive him for that are ready to try it. In the first chapters of the game, while she patrol Jackson with Dina, she says that will watch a movie with him and stuff, but, it was late for that.

    The frustration of treating the people you love the most poorly, and the anger of watching he die in you sight is what drives Ellie to Seattle. There, you, the player, meet Abby, and find out all about her will to do what she did, and of course, you see the regret that she carry over for doing so as she see her friends die one after the other, culminating in the lost of the most loved person for her, and in that point she is ready to kill Ellie, Tommy and Dina and get that over with, but, another wonderful character interrupts.

    Abby had lost so much until that point, that she is ready to give up everything in her soul for her vengeance, but Lev's shout saying "Abby!" is just enough for her to realize that if she do that, she will never be able to live with a clear mind again, and that is why she don't kill everyone, and go live her life and follow her dreams with the only person that she loves, that is left in her life.

    In that path, we go back to Ellie, and see the opposite. She can't live without getting her revenge, she is supposed to live happy with Dina and JJ, but nightmares and panic attacks with Joel's fate and the way she treated him on his last day simply don't leave her be. So, she follows Tommy's path and give up everything for vengeance, seeing Dina cry and not being able to stay in that dream.

    We walk with her in the beaches of Santa Barbara, California, to see a totally different nature in there, and the graphics once more, enchant us all. And in that beautiful place, we learn that terrible things are happening, and Ellie kills a lot of people that she doesn't even know why are there or what they are doing there, just to find Abby, who they've captured. And when she does find her, she sees that Abby is almost lost. Is skinny and weak, and was left there to die, but in the moment that she frees her, Abby runs towards Lev to save him too.

    That point she almost give up on the vengeance journey because she know that Lev needs Abby, and if she killed her, he was going to live alone, and most likely die... Another person who doesn't need to die, dying? Ellie can't stand that anymore, she, Abby, even you as a player, are completely tired of that story, and that sight, so she was going to let them go, but another sight of Joel dead, make her even put a knife close to Lev's throat to make Abby fight her.

    And after that long, and angry, and tired fight, Ellie don't kill Abby, but get close enough to realize what Abby did realize months before her, that doing so will make her lose everything about his soul, and noticing that she already lost everything for that vengeance: the man who was her father in that chaotic world, a friend who was dear to her, a woman who she loved and a child who she loved, and most importantly: lost herself.

    As I said in the beginning of this, The Last of Us Part II story, is about anger and frustration, and that this the feeling we are left when we finish the game and see Ellie walking away from the farm alone and without actually having a porpouse. She lost so much for revenge, that her life doesn't have a meaning anymore, and that was the main reason she was pissed with Joel. In her head, if she died on the Hospital for a cure, her life would have a meaning, and she was going to be free of that cruel world.

    Naughty Dog and Neil Druckman in a amazing way, show us that characters in a fictional scenario most tied to reality are not immortal, and are not superhuman. They feel, they panic, they cry, and most importantly, they die, on the outside (Joel) and on the Inside (Ellie). And that is why this game is a 10, or a 100, or a 1000, whatever. That is why the game is almost perfect, because, we can't say that it is perfect, as I said the story of the game itself, show us that is impossible to be perfect.    … Expand

I’m amazed at the lack of effort put in by the reviewers themselves looks to me they all gave it a 10/10 for the sole reason of liking tran ny co ck. Don’t let personal preference interfere with work guys! :) Oh wait that’s literally all you can do right? These people have zero credibility and everyone with a brain can see that by now. No self respecting person would play this game after the first chapter.… Expand

    It's ridiculous that the Joel character is collapsing. It's understandable that you show a completely different behavior from the previous one, but I think it should be at least for a reason. The characters who change their personalities like psychotic patients without any reason for the careless Joel's carelessness. Where has the probability of disappeared?

    There is no need to play this game unless you want to know what happens with the franchise. Everything about the game is just a copy of the first one.

    It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, the majority of games filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We waited 7 years, they gave us litteraly garbage story and just killed the most badass and beloved character in 2 hours of gameplay. This is pretty much the only thing i dont like, the gameplay is still like the first game. just a bit better, but still the story is pretty much garbage.… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. Affecting story, evolved gameplay. Initially it wasn't what I wanted after the original, but after a single 30 hour playthrough it solidifies its merits.

    After the first last of us, I was hyped for the sequel but, from what i saw this game is complete and utter bs. The only reason i won't give it a zero, is because of the graphics.

    What I think about the unbelievable good critics' score, is that they just can't give it a bad score, because if they don't like it then they'd be homophobes, and haters, and probably even nazis...

    This game somehow derailed an entire franchise. It also showed how entitled game developers think they are, and that they can’t handle any criticism about there game without making lame excuses. Hoping this doesn’t get deleted.

    TLOU2 is a masterpiece, ellie's quest for revenge is brutal and exciting, the gameplay has significantly improved from the first game, and the ending has a very strong meaning and message.

    Juegazo en temas técnicos. La historia, lo que más llama la atención del juego, malísima y muy politizada para ser correcta ante los medios masivos.

    The franchise is all story and this is a game with a terrible story. The game does have lovely visuals and better than average game play, but the story takes all this away !
    The story tries so hard to force you to feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for they are really just unpleasant people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no idea why this incredible game I getting bombed so much. Maybe from the internalised homophobia and misogyny. I can name 1 other game with a gay woman in it. As a lesbian, this game really resonated with me. Do you have any idea how many games, films, tv shows, books I've had to sit through about straight men? Yo . You should all be ashamed. Joel couldnt live forever, that would be boring. Get over yourselves and just take the game for what it is. A damn masterpiece… 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]
