Reception
Pre-release
In January 2017, PlayStation Blog awarded The Last of Us Part II in the category of Most Anticipated Game of the Year. Later that year, it won Most Wanted Game at the Golden Joystick Awards, and Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards. While the game's second trailer was mostly well received, it drew some criticism for its violence; Polygon's Julia Alexander particularly criticized the violence against women, noting that while the violence in the first game was justified and the victims "aren't women or marginalized people", the trailer contained no such justification. Jim Ryan, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe, defended the trailer, stating that the game is "made by adults to be played by adults".
