    This game is a mess, it wants to be unpredictable at the cost of stupid acts. The gameplay and graphics are decent, but the narrative is what totally destroys the experience, from the prologue you can see how they dispose of one of the important characters from the first game in such a horrendous way and the supposed lesson Ellie learns in the ending doesn't make any sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego esta bien pero como que es más de acción y Cinematico que de supervivencia Zombie, pues estos pasan a ser un obstáculo más del Entorno mientras que los humanos tienen combates más divertidos. La historia me pareció horrible ya que termine y apenas me había importado el destino de algunos personajes, solo me dolió la muerte de dos de los que salen y además hay demasiados Flasbacks que podría decirse que en ellos está la verdadera trama del juego (Un recurso muy barato a mi parecer). Pero igual me divertí y emocioné en muchas ocasiones, eso es lo que importa y hasta diría que recomiendo demasiado que le den una oportunidad pues pese a lo que dicen no es ni una obra maestra ni una basura, es solo un buen videojuego.… Expand

    This game caused a lot of conflicting emotions, but in the end it left a good aftertaste.
    Yes, a lot was not as much as I would like to see it, but nevertheless, I experienced just a gigantic range of emotions during the passage, and this is probably worthy of applause.

    The game aint better or worse than the last. The Story just continues and yes Joel´s death hit hard and it really took a while until I could continue playing but it really kept me playin. I loved every second hunting for his murderer and I hated every second playin her but she has a Story and I ended up not liking Abby but at least understanding her. No Improvement in Gameplay or anything new to mention otherwise (except the Graphics of course), but I didnt really expected that to happen anyway after the first game because what do you wanna change? Its all fine?
    loot,kill,cutscene/storytalk - repeat
    perfect for me.
    3 points away for not making a multiplayer because: Just a Story? not even choices? No unlockable Outfits like in the first part? No Replayability I would say even though ive replayed the first one like 8 times and im now on my 2nd playthrough with the second part because it still delivers the thrill and a good Story on top ( only if youre not too sensible I guess, seeing all those crying people cursing the writers as edgy teenagers haha)

    Probably just dudes bein dudes anyway cant stand a women killing their male mc.

    But the Game gives me exactly what I wished for. If not for whats missing id give the Game for what it has a solid 9. The end was really shaking me up but I didnt get that ultimate finisher, like that was already Joels death    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just want to get this out of the way and say this game is not bad, and is decent. There is a lot of factors that play into why this game gets hate. If you have played the first game and loved it I will say go and play the second. I just need to say why this game falls flat.
    My actual game problems include the gameplay being kinda recycled, some lackluster characters, and horrible story decisions. The graphics and emotional depth is incredible, but the narrative is bad. Their will be moments that will piss you off like character deaths, ending, Abigail, and the overused theme. It’s such a shame since you can tell that Naughty Dog put so much effort and passion into this game. I will continue to support Naughty Dog even after this game. The expectations were unrealistic, Halo, 2, 3, 4, God of War, Red Dead 2, gta 5 for example had such high expectations and this game suppressed all of these. I feel like no matter if the game was great people would still be disappointed, because people were expecting this to be a masterpiece. So either way this game was kinda bound to fail. When you make a sequel to a book, movie, or a game. The thing only people care about is how well does this game carry on from the 1st one. This game does that poorly. With elements that no one cared about. I don’t think I have to talk about them, because at this point beyond knows about them. Overall the game suffers from the expectations, and how poorly the story expands from the first game.    … Expand

After having seen an unknown person brutally murder one of the main characters we are already familiar with, we are then forced to play as this very person. I cannot even imagine why someone would want to do a trick like that. I got so repelled and disturbed by the scene of Joel’s death that I couldn’t sleep the following two nights. And now I have to play as his murderer. I do not think this is a contribution that matches the first part. Brilliant design and graphics, I admit that. But the plot truly disappointed me.… Expand

    The game shows that there is not a good and a bad side, this only depends off the point of view that you have. What you think is right and just for you destroys the other part.

    The narrative shows you that the vengeance only destroys you and the others and it will not make you feel better,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра очень хороша. Смысл игры в насилии, с чего он начинается, и к чему приводит. Основные проблемы игры в: 1.)концовках- играть за Эбби и пытался убить Элли и наобарот, при этом постоянно умирать и перезагружается, уж очень бесит. 2.) Когда когда на половине игры у тебя забирают уже прокаченную Элли, у которой уже всё оружее, ресурсы и навыки, и впихивают "голую" Эбби без оружия, ресурсов и навыков, то воспринимается это не очень хорошо. 3.) Мне понятна сюжетная линия и её смысл, но когда тебе уже насильно впихивают историю Эбби, то очень наскучивает, всё прохождение за Эбби у меня вызывало лишь скуку и неприязнь. У меня как у огромного фаната первой части, конечно вызвало возмущение убийство Джоэла в самом начале, но позже оно утихло. Я понимаю смысл истории,-что Элли сошла с ума на почве мести, но ничего столь плохого я в сюжете не вижу, теперь первая часть воспринимается как: "сказка про розовых единорогов", не иначе, ведь вторая часть намного жёстче и сложнее (в морали) . Я люблю эту игру, и всё же жду продолжение.… Expand

    Played this game after a year and a half of release because of all the release fud, and I'm really glad I could get past that and focus on my own player experience.

And she was, but they made her that way onPlayed this game after a year and a half of release because of all the release fud, and I'm really glad I could get past that and focus on my own player experience. Overall, I think the story was well thought out. Abby stepped up to the plate (no pun intended) even though she knew she was going to be a hated character from the get-go.... And she was, but they made her that way on purpose. We had to hate her, ellie had to hate her, so we could play through her revenge phase and EXPERIENCE Ellie's rage right along side of her. But also to experience the emotional and psychological scars, the guilt, the shame.... Then comes Abby.... was it easy to play as her? No. But I enjoyed getting to know her, her back story, her motives, her friends, and what she was all about. And to walk a mile or two in her shoes really gives some perspective on the emotional and psychological turmoil she too was going through. Both Ellie and Abby loved and lost and both sought revenge, and neither found what they were looking for: closure. Instead, they both suffered further consequences. This isn't just a flat 2-d story of revenge, this game goes so much deeper. It was a longer game, 25+ hrs, but that time is needed to build an understanding. I think a revenge plot, fulfilled, would have fallen flat as a story line with no character arc. Instead we experience a game with more emotions and conflict than ever before. I went in knowing and wanting to hate Abby, but left the game wanting to know more about her and her situation and, if I'm being completely honest for a guy who hasn't pretty much zero empathy for anyone, had a great amount of empathy and compassion for what she'd been through by the end. It's so strange of an ending as you don't know who to root for anymore. The game helps you with that as you don't have a choice, but looking back, I think that would have been a saving grace for the whole controversy this game underwent.... Just the allowance of the end-user to make a choice as to how they wanted things to end. And that choice would lead to it's own ending and consequences for the character. (Far Cry pulls it off time and again, why couldn't TLOU do it?) At the end, it's a story with 2 distinct character arcs, and comes down to the simplicity of forgiveness. I do believe the game had some of it's own agenda items to push and I don't necessarily agree with the major push behind that, but I won't get into that here as I didn't see that it detracted that much from the story, but definitely skirted the line of unnecessary intrusion. Not taking any points off for that. Gameplay was great, graphics were great, weapons and upgrade system was fine, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, but due to the personal emotional turmoil, I don't know that I'd go through it again. That and the jump scares, daggum this game had some solid effing scares in it! Speaking of jump scares, the sound design was spot on, the musical score was spot on.... Overall, was dark and gritty, gruesome and graphic, but a masterpiece in it's own way. I'd like to see some DLC's on how things ended up afterwards. I think there's some loose ends the player base may be interested to know more about.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think sadly, in a way, the story of this game was too progressive for its audience and for the gaming culture of today. Whilst it's brutal and emotionally difficult to process, I think the game accurately portrays grief and loss and how it can change a person to the point that they are unrecognisable. I'm not going to sit here and say that it's a perfect game, there are flaws the same as all, but I don't think it deserves the amount of hate it receives.

    The reason why I have given it a 10 is because in my eyes, the story makes perfect sense, the scenery and music is beautiful and the game play is just really fun. Joel dying in the beginning happened because he had it coming to him, as unfortunate and devastating as that is (I cried for hours). Ellie then turns into a person that we don't recognize from the first game, fuelled by hatred and betrayal and sadness as a now grown adult. That's another thing people seem to forget: Ellie is not the same person that she was in the first game. She's not 14 anymore, she's come into her adult self (probably influenced by Joel as the father figure later in her life) and therefore her actions portray as such.

    The game, if played with the right mindset, makes the reader question every moral they have by playing as both Abby and Ellie. Playing as Ellie, Abby in the beginning is the antagonist but as you come to the end of Ellie's time in Seattle, you start to see her almost as the villain. Playing as Abby, the killer of much loved Joel, you start to understand why everything panned out in the way that it did and in turn see her side of things and begin to see Ellie and Joel as the antagonists of her story. The game highlights loss and the cycles of revenge that are seemingly never-ending--it also makes you question every belief you have about the original characters.

    I think to be honest, people who dislike this game only dislike it because Joel died and that doesn't come across well after he was the protagonist of the first game. I think they find things to hate about the game, such as the fact that both protagonists are female, or that Ellie is a lesbian, or that Abby doesn't appear like the societal beauty standard of a woman or even that Joel dies and base their opinion of the whole game on small things like this.
    When in fact, if you zoom out so to speak, and look at the entire picture, you can probably see that the game has one of the most intense and beautiful stories of all time in my opinion. It's an emotional rollercoaster, but worth it.

    The game deserves better ratings, I thought it was phenomenal.    … Expand

    Naughty Dog obviously wanted to make a darker sequel that makes you think.

There's some problems to the game such as a couple story shortcomings but that's it. This game is graphically the best looking game I have seen to date, there's no denying that. Gameplay is improved from the last game in every possible way and if you think it's too simple or easy, turn the difficulty up!! I promise the higher difficulties in this game will have your heart pumping and will have you holding your breath in almost any encounter to hope that the enemy won't hear you. IMMERSIVE. The original score/soundtrack in this game is intense, heart-pumping, anxiety-inducing greatness. Some characters die yes, this is a horrid extremely violent post-apocalyptic world where literally all humanity has left the mf chat my guy.

    a bunch of spoiled babies who are not used to anything of more value than marvel movies review bomb this masterpiece. What shame really... There's need to be more games like this, that challenge your perceptions and expectations, so gamers can be more open to be challenged, and not to have every piece of narrative kindly given to them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Series deserves to be on any must play list. Specifically in order. The first game exemplifies how to write a perfect story. The audience can easily follow the character driven story. A story that attaches the player to Joel and Ellie; to such an extent that even a casual player cares about them. As the next game sets up, the player is shown the huge rift between Joel and Ellie; Due to Ellie learning about what actually happened in the hospital. Ellie alienates Joel for what he did, the bond is still there but it is barely holding- Upon Joel’s death the player shares ;Ellie’s Pain, Sorrow, Rage, and want to inflict your mutual Vengeance. You feel that initial satisfaction and vindication as you hunt down Abby. It is not until you’re forced to play as Abby, do you see the wake of your desperation-
    At the beginning of Abbys journey you truly hate her. You want her and her friends to fail. But you’re forced to see who these people actually are anyway. It’s trying to tell you that doing things out of hate will not make you happy-
    We find Ellie living with her love interest on a beautiful ranch in Montana; and it feels like Ellie has made her peace. Except instead of Ellie moving on, she is struggling with PTSD. The only solution she sees is taking Abbys Life as she took Joel’s-
    The finale brings you within breaths of your revenge; and right before its finally over. Ellie lets go of her hate & animosity towards Abby, realizing Joel is a bright light in her life and Abby can never take that away from her- The player feels robbed because of this, even if you did not want Abby to die anymore. Its an equivalent feeling to holding in a long stayed sneeze. Naughty Dog shot for the moon with this sequel, and it looks and plays INCREDIBLY. -The fact Ellie hates Joel because he saved her from the fireflies blows my mind. He never tells her that they drug her, or beat him senseless. Or that no vaccine for fungal human infection has EVER been made; let alone in an apocalyptic scenario. -The attention to detail here is second to none, compared to the games coming out now. - a large part of the first game was showing the player just how HARD it is to traverse this world. Yet here we’re jumping hundreds of miles in seconds. -Playing as the villain for half the game is a unique concept that the average consumer has never seen. They were very close to something great here, but that does not make it bad. Which is why I gave it a 7 out of 10. It’s an above average game; and in comparison to the games that have been released since then it’s a knockout.
    If you can get this game below 60 dollars it’s a steal. You get a lot of game for your money here. And I want to make this perfectly clear if you hate this game because you can’t handle a lesbian main character or that Abby is “implied” to be trans then please spare the rest of us by not writing another review.    … Expand

    TLOU2 is a beautifully brutal and unforgiving game. With graphics and details which compete with that of Rockstar's 'Red Dead Redemption 2' and combat mechanics that are inarguable one of the best among PS exclusives, TLOU2 could've been worthy of a high score.

'Could' have been. However, the story and character dynamics is what draws the line, hence my inability to rate this game any higher than 7. Every side character in TLOU2 are one-dimensional to the point that it hurt my brain. I adore a good relationship build-up between 2 characters amidst a zombie apocalypse. But Ellie & Dina? I hate how the game tried to shove them down my throat. Like no, I don't care about them. They have no chemistry, I don't know anything about Dina (neither do i want to, because she's so one-dimensional and a burden). When the game made me control Abby in the second half, at first I was angry like most others but at one point, i gave up on the anger and decided to look at the story from a new perspective. Even from an unbiased point of view, Abby's story arc is a cheap rip-off of TLOU1. Lazy writing, just a lazy attempt at manipulating the player's emotions into liking Abby. It didn't work, though. I still didn't like her. Her height phobia was a good detail, for the sake of comedic relief. The addition of a cult like Seraphites is an interesting idea, on paper. But the game couldn't even make a cult arc good. They deserved an award for this abomination. In conclusion, the gameplay makes up partially for the bad writing. Instead of 'The Last of Us Part Two', if it were a whole different game with characters you've never seen before, maybe-- just MAYBE this game would have been worthy of a higher rating. But, oh well.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't normally leave reviews but I felt obligated based on the train wreck of handling user reviews and feedback post launch. I watched numerous lets plays of this game to develop my opinions of this game and to see if any sense can be made from it.

    Positives:
    The gameplay, audio design and AI are very good especially considering this kind of game where story is the most important component and is more of a walking movie style of 'game'.
    This game had some great improvements from the first such as enemy groups calling their allies by name and demonstrate a grieving sadness when you kill them making the experience more immersive and making me want to actively avoiding killing where possible.
    Visually the game is stunning considering it's a console only release for the PS4 so considering the limited power of the hardware it's very impressive what the artists have done with the game while also making sure it runs acceptably.
    The audio team hit it out of the park in this game. The background music helped immensely with creating an atmosphere where I felt tense especially in dark deserted buildings where there's potentially enemies. The voice actors also did an amazing job with what they were given and full credit to them.
    The story had it's points where it grabbed me and wanted me to continue playing to see what happened next, this happened regularly for the first half of the game.

    Negatives:
    The game was rather buggy for me especially, I don't really see many people talking about this but there were plenty of bugs ready to break my immersion and took away from the experience.

    The largest downside by far is the story. This is a huge disappointment especially considering these games are more of a walking movie and falling short on the most important part is a horrific mistake to make.
    The structure of the story is the biggest mistake made, if the story was restructured in a way where you played as what many people consider the villain from the start and play through events as they occur in the timeline rather than the monstrosity that made the final cut then maybe people would be able to make a connection to Abby before she kills their favourite character. I know at least I would've.
    The death scene itself was very badly done, I don't expect Joel to be a Marvel Superhero but come on, he literally just got taken out by a complete random out of the blue, the entire introduction for this part was a disaster. Wasn't it possible to have any conceivable way of Abby and Joel crossing paths rather than a coincidence, like literally anything, like maybe a civilian shelter distress call or something. And also, why would Joel just give out his information to a complete stranger when in the first game it was shown that he is a very distrusting person.
    One of my more recent complains is the being forced to kill animals, in a game of this scale where it advertises inclusions for vulnerable people you should not be forced to do uncomfortable things such as executing Abbys dogs. Also I'm not a fan of sex scenes in games so having to sit through multiple scenes of intimacy made me feel uncomfortable as I felt as if I couldn't skip in case
    I missed some important plot piece.

    Summary:
    Game is a train wreck of a poorly structured story which is a large let-down considering what this game could've been if that were not the case. Game is rated highly based on what it does right which is almost everything else.    … Expand

    I love every hour I spent with this game. The story is the strongest side of it

    The Last of Us is one of the rare beloved games of the past decade that not only didn’t demand a sequel, but actively seemed to resist the idea of one. Its story is largely poignant because of how self-contained it is: not knowing what happened between Joel and Ellie after his fateful, final decision burned a mark into the brains of many who played it, and that open-ended question hasThe Last of Us is one of the rare beloved games of the past decade that not only didn’t demand a sequel, but actively seemed to resist the idea of one. Its story is largely poignant because of how self-contained it is: not knowing what happened between Joel and Ellie after his fateful, final decision burned a mark into the brains of many who played it, and that open-ended question has lingered for years. But with The Last of Us Part 2, developer Naughty Dog rises to that challenge with not only a complex, profound story that gives it a reason to exist, but also deep and satisfying evolutions to the original’s third-person action/stealth gameplay.

    I can’t tell you much about some of Part 2’s best aspects, but not because I don’t want to – I’m bursting to talk with anyone about all the moving, uplifting, and heart-wrenching moments that have been replaying in my mind for days since I first beat this adventure For me it's a great game and it deserves grades.    … Expand

    I just finished the game and the story of the game is crap. The ending sucks. Damn. You had no right to make the game this bad.

    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]
