    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was done masterfully. The subtle movements and facial expressions characters make within each cutscene give clues as to what each character is feeling.
    During the scene that divided fans, you could see Joel uncomfortable while Tommy was relaxed. You could see Abby's shock and disgust after she went through with the act that she had long awaited. Because she realized revenge doesn't fill any holes in your heart. Those that angry at the game chose to hate the game from that moment out. They never gave it a chance solely based on the fact that a main character died. The story being done in a non-linear fashion angered many, but just because one does not like it, doesn't mean its a bad story. The pacing with the non-linear story could have been done better, but overall it made the experience of Abby better.
    The game did exactly what it sought out to do and that was make the audience feel. Overall, the graphics, gameplay mechanics, action sequences, and the attention to detail that the Naughty Dog team labored over pushed the level of games in 2020.

    A true masterpiece. The hype was real. The hate reviews are not true. After i completed the game i had self doubt that why did i enjoy the game while everyone else was hating it. Game is great and has a perfect ending according to me.

    A brutal masterpiece that will leave you heartbroken, but wanting more.

    The critics are correct and the users are wrong. The bad ratings is a symptom of the 2020. Everybody is easely offended and cancel culture.

Dreams that the gaming Omnissiah himself Godd Howard (blessed be thy graphix card) would be proud of. Gamers, rejoice, for our prayers have been answered, in this game we have something that hasn't touched our cynical Doritos be-speckled hearts in quite some time, what we have here, in essence, is Nirvana, in video game form. As our Holy Lord Gaben Newwell (hallowed be thy processing core) forewarned eons ago, there would come a game, a game so monumental it would shake the very foundations of Gamers faith, but low and behold that holiest of tests has been passed, Witcher be praised! 10/10 would recommend.

Gráficamente es genial, la banda sonora acompaña muy bien la experiencia, la jugabilidad no es nada del otro mundo, pero es una evolución orgánica y bien lograda de la primera entrega, salvo por la mecánica de saltar qué en realidad solo la puedes usar cuando el juego lo permite, lo demás está muy bien logrado, la historia me parece algo agridulce, pero al final personalmente, fue muy de mi agrado, aunque entiendo a quien no le gustó también, no es algo que se presente todos los días, tiene sus cliché, predecible en cierto punto, pero en lo personal aplaudo qué los guionistas y escritores no se vayan a la segura con los personajes, y retraten hasta cierto punto como es la vida real, gris, no siempre va a ser tan bueno lo que les pase a los personajes, y tampoco tan brutal con quien quisiéramos, por estos motivos me hizo sentir diversas emociones al jugarlo, y repito, no es una trama del agrado de todos, pero me parece que se logró, al menos parcialmente transmitir lo que se quería con este juego, uno de los mejores de la generación, lo puedes amar u odiar, pero recomendado qué vivas la experiencia para criticarlo personalmente, no solo leer reseñas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally loved it. There was some issues with it such as not going in depth with the Rattlers, Owen's motives, the sex scene, but overall I thought it was good. I'm being generous with my review because I feel the game is getting unnecessary hate from "Joel fanboys" who are just triggered that the game killed off their favorite character and how "unjust" his death was.

    Granted some people may genuinely hate the game and that's ok, but I think the story was good. It made you see things from the villain's perspective and had people relating to Abby and see where she was coming from and if you can make a sympathetic villain like Abby that's good story telling. There was also little key things throughout the story that painted a bigger picture and deeper story. An example was the bracelet Dina made Ellie. It spurs questions to the end of the story. Depending on how you look at it, either Dina left Ellie or she's back in Jackson waiting for her while she says bye to Joel.

    The moral was also on par with the last game. The last game the theme of family was consistent throughout the game and in this one the theme of vengeance was also heavily emphasized.

    As for the complaints that the promos were misleading because it lead you to believe that Joel wasn't dead. I'm not sure if anyone remembers the promos for the first game, but it lead me to believe that I would be playing Ellie instead of Joel the entire time. So this isn't the first time that we've been mislead before.

    I just hate seeing a well developed game get bashed because the users disagree with the story and now it's gotten to the point of threatening the voice actors. This fandom is becoming as toxic as Star Wars and all because everyone is just upset because they're obsessed with Joel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games of the year, up to this point. For starters, graphics are from another planet, the game is just beatiful to look at, naughty dog made a masterpiece out of the pro and i'm sure for slim/fat too. Story is not just a continuing of the 1st past, is more of a step forward towards the enviroment as a whole. The game is dark, the human urge to survive, the hunger for more that even in these times is not absent and the game of power that people play for decades. A punch in the guts, to have a look at humanity naked. The Abby part of the game seemed as it was necessary for the storytelling, it was a great idea to get to see the side of the "bad guy", the way it was written made it almost crazy to end her. Storywise Ellie was more mature, too, after the event that kickstarted the game. Mechanisms are not very different from part 1, with some great additions that were necessary to be present. This game is a must play. Expand

I loved the game. I rarely replay games because I always have so many others to play and never enough time to do so. However the second I finished I wanted to get straight back into it. It’s also not often I buy a game at release let alone preorder. I wait for sales for pretty much everything. I preorder this and did not regret it.
    I love the gameplay and really like trying different ways to take out enemies both human & infected. As well as trying to sneak through whole encounters untouched. Several parts made my heart race and I was trying so hard in real life to hear any little sound or spot movement, especially for stalkers. The game is dark and there’s lots of parts that genuinely pulled at my heartstrings. I hope there’s gonna be dlc or something like that because the ending felt a little missing. I get that not everyone likes the same things in a video game, but I wish people got less upset about someone enjoying something they don’t.
    I like story driven games. I like survival style games. I loved the 1st game. So for me this was a great buy and I would definitely recommend.

If there's something specific you wanted out of this game, you may not like it as much as me. If you can't keep an open mind or you're just a bigot you might even be on here giving the game a zero. The game isn't perfect in every respect and has some jarring transitions in story and gameplay near the middle portion. You may not even "like" this game. It isn't "fun" the way some other games are. It filled me with a sickening sense of dread at the fate or actions of my favorite characters. There will be painful moments where you watch characters make decisions you don't agree with. But the game isn't made for you to like it or to be traditionally enjoyable. It isn't a game that cashed in on the latest trends or played it safe to reach the broadest audience. It's a game that was made to get a point across and make you think about what's important to you. And by the credits I had no doubt that it had accomplished that goal. That's the mark of a true work of art. I can't ask for anything more than that. Expand

Each protagonist and all their connections are revealed as much as possible. Experiencing each main character. The authors raised the theme of the circle of cruelty of malice and hatred. The outcome of the story is very realistic, it is not always possible to get rid of the void after loss. The main thing is not to stop and will learn to let go and put up with these losses.
    First of all, for me, this is the best game for its plot, authorship and graphics. Authors can start creating serious scripts for films!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Game!
    I think the Abby part was a little long, that way it didn‘t feel like Ellie‘s Journey but like the Journey of both of them.
    On the other Side i really liked the Story with Lev and the Scars. It made sense to show that the Character that killed Joel isen‘t pure evil. I think Dani and Jessie where great as well and i loved the short part with JJ, i think the Game portrays well how revenge-driven people sometimes will leav everything behind just for their revenge. I‘m glad that Ellie spared Abby at the End and you can really see, what everything did cost Ellie, with her not even having enough fingers left to play the guitar. The Szene with Joel was cruel at the End, she just wanted to work on things with him the night before he got killed... i think the story was great! Sure there were some small issues, like i didn‘t cared for most of the WLF’s bcs i new they are dead anyways. But yeah all in all it was nice storytelling.

    Also, the music, lighting and rendering are all incredible! As well as the acting but i think that‘s needless to say.

    I hope there will be a DLC where we search for Dina and JJ.

    Let it be known that most of the user reviews on here are from people that didn't actually play the game. They were just upset by a couple of leaks they saw, probably watched some YouTube videos trashing the game so they can feel justified, and review bombed this game.

    This review is coming from someone who tried to not see any of the leaks and spoilers and decided to play the game with an open mind. Maybe the game will be good, maybe it'll be bad. Won't know until I play it.

    The Last of Us Part 2's biggest flaw is that it's a video game. The combat is actually good. It's largely the same as the first game's combat so there's nothing innovative here, but they added some quality of life improvements and lots of layers of polish that it ends up being way more fun than the first game. There's lots of different ways to tackle a combat scenario and it accomodates people of different playstyles. Outside the combat though is when the game starts to dip in quality. The locations are big and beautiful... but they're also big. With no enemies. And constant looting and looking for supplies. There's way too much downtime in the game and it really ruins the pacing, which for a game that prides itself on telling a cinematic story, horrible pacing can ruin a lot of great stories.

    Which is why I believe that if this story was a film, or better yet a TV series, it would've benefited more from the medium it's in. As much as I liked the combat, I dreaded the in-between sections where there wasn't story or combat. This is also a very linear story where the player can't change a character's choice, you have to just let it play out. So even if the story is REALLY good, I still have to go though 2 hours of walking around, bits of combat here and there to keep me from being bored, until I finally get to the next cutscene to see how the story plays out. This shouldn't have been a game. This story does not benefit from being a game (despite the actual "gamey" parts being really good).

    Of course EVERYONE is critiquing the story more than anything. Which makes sense, Naughty Dog prides itself on linear storytelling in games to be as cinematic as possible. You SHOULD worry about whether or not the game has a good story. But most of the people critiquing the story either hasn't played the whole thing or made up their minds before playing and were close-minded the whole time. So is the story good? Or is it as bad as people say?

    It's good. Not a masterpiece. Not very original (but let's not pretend the first game was). However, the execution of everything: the actors, the music, the writing. It's all A+. I respect Naughty Dog for taking risks and trying to tell a story that could upset fans. Because at the end of the day this story makes sense in the world the characters live in. "I don't like this new character that I play as." Really? Because this character is REALLY similar to a character you like in the first game. Literally has the same qualities. I was invested in the story the whole way through. There were certain characters that I hated at first, but over time I realized they're actually well written, fleshed out, three dimensional characters. This is a great cast. Telling the story out of chronological order could have backfired, but it's so well written that it actually works. So the game in my opinion is an 8. The combat is REALLY fun, the story is good, the graphics are beautiful as is the music. The attention to detail is mind-boggling. And no matter your opinion on whether or not the game is bad, praise MUST be given to Naughty Dog for all the accessibility options. This hopefully will become a standard in AAA games going forward. The game could've gotten a higher score from me if it wasn't for the horrible pacing, all the walking around and opening drawers just to collect tape and half pairs of scissors. The huge environments aren't beneficial to your game if there's nothing interesting about them; no matter how good the graphics are. Also the over abundance of safes.

    Tl;dr: Combat good, story not as bad as people say, biggest flaw is walking around being bored.

This game ripped me apart, it didn't give me what I wanted, but what I got was amazing, I am not a happy ending kind of guy, hoped for a different story, but all makes sense to me in the end, and really liked the new brave way to do a videogame... I still think this is a masterpiece of a story. Don't hope it ends like this, hope for more gaming and not closure on the HBO series Expand

    Although many expected a different story, The Last of Us Part II delivers in every single aspect. Naughty Dog took a very bold decision, and executed it almost flawlessly. The actual gameplay itself will reel you in, but the story and the character development is what gets you hooked. Hats off to Naughty Dog, you've made another masterpiece and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

TLOU2 forces you to face yourself and your own preconceived notions of how things should be. I've only grown to love these characters more (faults and all), including the new characters. My only issue with this game is the pacing. The gameplay is fun but repetitive, not too bad until the 1/2-2/3 way through the game do you start to feel exhausted. I sometimes found myself wanting to rush through the next gameplay segment to get more story. I highly recommend not doing this as there are tons of notes and artifacts hidden through every single level that help flesh out the world. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I NEVER leave reviews. I enjoy reading them but never felt conflicted enough to spend the time I have to actually leave one. Until now. I read so much hate on this game. Hours of reviews, of videos, even of conversations with friends. But all of it is complete malarkey. This is a beautifully designed and written game. I am blown away at the pettiness people have towards such minuscule things that actually make the game so great! I understand that people have developed feelings towards certain characters based off the first(also amazing) game. And what happened in this game definitely shook me to my core. But when has a game done that for you?! When did a game challenge you and your complete way of thinking towards a situation? We are so focused on our own issues, our own thoughts that we can’t even see what is going on from another point of view. But this game does that. This game is firing on so many levels and showing people there is a story to both sides and literally puts you in their shoes. Also being completely diverse with its characters is just incredible. Even in an apocalyptic world people are going to be who they are. And raging mushroom headed monsters or scars or rattlers or anyone for that matter is going to change that. I wanted to write a review because I believe this game is so much more than just a game. I wanted to give it the justice it deserved. I am sorry that people are having issues with characters or story line or whatever it is but I just think their perception is slightly blinded by the hurt they may have felt. I did have some pretty high expectations but this game blew right past them. I am so sad it is over but so glad I got to go through it. So anyways, I hope whoever is reading this, whether they have or have not played the game, just keep an opened mind. We all got to be apart of an amazing journey and that is that part we cannot forget. Thank you for you time. Expand

Despite all these, the gameplay was really good and AI was outstanding. A lot of effort was put into the details of graphics.

En esta segunda parte no solo fue bien llevada la historia sino que lo hicieron de una manera magistral y justa. Cada evento tuvo unos detalles exquisitos, de esto se trata la escencial del juego, así crudo, sin utopías heroicas de personajes de cuentos de hadas, de esto nos enamoramos, de lo contrario se hubiese condenado al fusilamiento desde los primeros minutos de la primera parte por la muerte de la hija de Joel.
    La historia es digna de reconocimiento y debe tratarse como una sola entrega y no como dos cortes independientes y como tal nos deja una gran enseñanza desde todo punto de vista como aplicativo para nuestras vidas y nuestros seres queridos en ella.

Двигаясь по сюжету, испытываешь весь спектр эмоций: от ненависти и страха до любви и бесстрашия. Разработчики ловко играют на наших чувствах: сперва заставляя возненавидеть одних героев и полюбить других, приглашая затем взглянуть на ситуацию с обратной стороны. Здесь нет антагонистов и протагонистов, каждый в итоге решает сам для себя, кто ему ближе и понятнее. Понятно лишь одно: ненависть порождает ненависть.
    Игра окунает нас в уже полюбившийся всем нам мир после катастрофы, мир, где на каждом шагу подстерегает смертельная опасность. Дьявол в мелочах. Каждая локация уникальна, интересна, со своей историей. Окружение настолько детализировано, что можно надолго залипнуть, разглядывая семейные фотографии, книги, брошенные детские игрушки. В каждой новой комнате нас ожидает сюрприз. Пробежать игру по сюжету, не обратив на всё это внимание - непростительная оплошность. Игра отлично оптимизирована: огромный мир и отличнейшая графика без единого намёка на проседания. Для Playstation 4 FAT первой ревизии - это отличный результат.

The gameplay is a more polished version of part 1 but still the same, which isnt something bad, like it isnt a call of duty or an ark, its good as it is.

    People are **** around because the game doesnt deliver the warm hearted family friendly content they all somehow expected, its a modern game spinning current topics into its long and well told story, with a lot of characters where you more and more learn why they did certain things they did. I really started to feel what the different characters are going through, giving me an emotional carousel because they all have theire different point of views on the same topic.

    Im really mad to read all the hate and negative feedback because i personally cannot understand it. Its a masterpiece and every gamer that is merely interested in story games should try to play this fantastic game.

    This game sets a new bar in gaming in terms of narrative context, and while "gamers" are still complaining about how ND delivered the story, i'm sure that the majority of developers will try to reach and imitate what ND just did.

There are amazing details which you won't find in other games (for example NPC's got names and when you kill somebody, they will search for him and call his name) ,The storytelling (and story itself) could have been better tho.

The story has some strong and also some weak points with plot holes. Most of the characters are not interesting/boring... I have mixed feelings from the ending and the way the developers served it to us. Also, the LGBT propaganda in this game is too strong... but that's just a note and it does not affect my review for this game. Game gets repetetive in the end of the game. Overall I can recommend this game for its fun gameplay and amazing universe which you will dig into right away. Expand

    Great game, story not as strong as the first one but people have to understand Joels actions in the first game and the amount of people he killed was always going to have repercussions, other than that graphics are amazing and gameplay is superb

    As you can see by the reviews, TLOU 2 is a divisive game. The game, from a technical standpoint, is absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone who played it would disagree with that. The biggest divide comes down to the writing. TLOU 2 is a very different story than the first game, and many people say (quite accurately) that a sequel didn't need to happen. But if a sequel were to happen,As you can see by the reviews, TLOU 2 is a divisive game. The game, from a technical standpoint, is absolutely amazing.

TLOU 2 is a very different story than the first game, and many people say (quite accurately) that a sequel didn't need to happen. But if a sequel were to happen, this is the only direction I think it could have gone. The story's structure isn't traditional in any sense. It is non-linear and follows multiple timelines that intersect. It is a story about grief, and about finding peace and meaning in life. I can only say approach the game with an open mind, and take breaks to process some of the bigger parts of the story. This game takes risks and tells an amazing story. 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]
