    I'm really not a leftist but I can't believe how butthurt people are because of either too much variety in the characters or how the game is not a Joel & Ellie roadtrip.
    Exactly this is why imo it is something more and of the best games ever made. Their relationship is the driving force of the story but it's still about other themes. Of course some story details could have been executed    I'm really not a leftist but I can't believe how butthurt people are because of either too much variety in the characters or how the game is not a Joel & Ellie roadtrip.

    Spoilers:
    I think you can only really enjoy this game when you experienced all the characters feelings to a similar extend in real life. And if Abby grows on you or not.

    I really felt for both sides, but was with Ellie till the very end. Many people obviously don't understand real hatred, when they don't believe that Ellie would go again even when her life is perfect. Also, many people don't get loyalty, friendship and family when they saw Joel as a bad man for killing the fireflies.    … Expand

Whether you are talking about its violent yet beautifully animated gameplay to its stunning graphical fidelity and impeccable audio design, there is no argument that Naughty Dog is on another level in terms of technical artistry.

    Semplicemente il miglior gioco a cui abbia mai giocato sia dal punto di vista del gameplay che della narrazione. Naughty dog si dimostra lo sviluppatore più coraggioso del momento e in particolare Neil Drukmann che è riuscito a scrivere una storia brutale e spietata senza compromessi, per la prima volta in un videogioco si gioca con persone e non personaggi.

There were times where I just wanted to put the game down and stop playing because I didn't like the directions things were headed in. Despite that I kept playing because some part of me wanted to see it through to see if there would be redemption. In the end I didn't really get the satisfying redemption I was looking for but it made me question things like who's good and who is evil in the story. You may be the hero in one person's story but the villain in someone else's. No other game has ever drawn out so much emotion in me for the plight of fictional characters. Most movies don't even accomplish that much personal connection to the viewer. A true narrative masterpiece. Can't wait for Last of Us Part 3!… Expand

    Visuals, well it's Naughty Dog what you'd expect but do a favour for me and turn off the motion blur it looks much better. Visuals 9/10
    Now story is a little hard to explain without any spoilers.
    The game is split into two segments, one were you play as Ellie and the other where you play as a girl called Abby,. Why? That's a pretty heavy spoiler but this game takes the approach of "You're the villain in someones story." That's all I can say The story is weaker than LOU1 but a good story none the less. Story 7/10
    Give this game a shot. I'm not promising you'll like it but I am saying it's worth giving a shot.

It had me emotional in some moments especially the ending had me on tears and I don't cry at a lot of things. The game really grasped me in it's story. The acting is the best I have ever seen in a video game, and maybe even in all media, I just can't get over how good it was, every moment felt real. The animations were top notch and the enemy AI was a lot more intelligent than in the first game and most games I've played. However there was a moment in the game where it didn't really feel like it took place in a The Last of us world type setting which I did not really like. And even if the story doesn't appeal to you the gameplay wise this game is phenomenal and still worth picking up in my opinion. I would also like to mention that I was upset with the false advertising. Nevertheless I still very much enjoyed the game and I am looking forward to Naughty Dog's next game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My Review:

    Naughty Dog's mistake was to believe that people would be able to understand the complex world and mind of the characters and their changes during the years between TLOU1 and TLOU2.

    Joel's death was composed perfectly, and has more deph to it then people were actually able to see. Joel lived for 20 years of his life in a quarantine zone as a smuggler, fighting the military, killing a lot of people and doing whatever it took to survive. But in TLOU2, Joel had his life completely changed. He was living in a city where people from all around would go throught it to trade, sleep for a feel days, and just go away. Joel was relearning how to live, relearning how to interact with people, and his only worries were Ellie's and the community's survival. Joel was a changed man! He "trusted" Abby because he had no other place to go and was used to finding travelers around the area. Also, it was not the first time Joel chose to trust someone, as he had trusted on Henry, not once, but TWICE in the first game + Henry even betrayed him, but Joel could forgive him as shown in the tower scene where they were having a very friendly chat and laughing. (OF course Joel wanted to know if Henry was right about the fireflies, but Joel had a place to go in his mind, and he choose to follow Henry instead of going afer Tommy, proving that even dough he was harsh, he could still trust people).
    So in conclusion to this topic, Joel could not have know what he was getting into, and even if he saw something coming, he didnt have other choice + He had met a lot of traveleres that were friendly, so Abby's suggestion did not sound bad to him, especially in the situation they were. Joel's death showed he was a human being that can sometimes trust the wrong people and die. Its just like he told Ellie in the first game: "We are just lucky, and luck runs out".

    About the ending:
    TLOU2's ending was close to perfect.
    I read a critic by Cultured Vultures that had me disapointed, because I couldnt imagine how a specialized crew could be so blind to see all the game's journey and how the conclusion proved a enormous point, that is the main critic of the game (its important to say that I think revenge was the main critic, but the game makes a point about everything bad in the actual world right now, so its just my point of view about what is the main critic. It could be about something else in the actual director's plans)

    Cultured Vultures on TLOU2:
    In trying to subvert expectations, The Last of Us Part II discards the best aspects of its predecessor to provide a rote revenge tale that is ill-considered, ending on a note that makes everything — all the violence, all the loss, all the struggle — feel utterly, hopelessly pointless.

    Dear Cultured Vultures, the "pointlessness" of the revenge was exactly the sensation that the game needed to provide to show that revenge was not the best solution to anyone's problems, but you guys were too stupid to see.

    Ellie and Abby lost everything during this journey of revenge. Abby had lost the fireflies and her dad, so she chaced Joel and killed him , but her revenge directly impacted someone that had no reasons to go after her before, and started a cycle of revenge that could have been avoided if she moved on. So Ellie goes after Abby, finds and kills every last one of them except for who she actually wanted to kill, and its forced to give up, because otherwise, she would get more people that she cared about killed. And the only reason that Ellie actually survived the third day, was because Abby showed herself as a good person that was blinded by revenge, and realized that she started this, so she tried to stop it herself by sparing both Dina and Ellie.
    But Ellie had not learned her lesson and in her mind, her comfort would come from killing Abby, when it actually would only come if she could forgive Joel and herself, and by doing so, accepting his death like of those she loved that had died before. So in conclusion, Ellie was not ready to accept what she loss until she had lost so much that the only thing left was her humanity and the memory of Joel, so she spared Abby at the final scene, because in that moment where she nearly killed Anny, the thing that came through her mind was not what Abby had done, but what she could not do, which was forgive Joel sooner and learn how to love him again, and that was Ellie's biggest regret and the main cause of pain + She even lost her fingers 3 and 4, making her not able to play guitar, which was the thing that most resembled her of Joel's goodness and love.

    Even if u didnt like the story , giving this art work of a game a "0,1,2,3" is unexcusable!
    4.4 user average just shows that theres a lot of stupid people with internet, and that people arent ready for games as complex and deep.

    The Last Of Us Part 2 is the best narrative I have experienced in all my life as a gamer.

    Really good game. Go in with NO expectations, even as a sequel. Beautiful visuals and great gameplay really make the world feel alive. The story starts seemingly simple but gets very ethically and emotionally complex. The game’s worst parts, looking back, are the beginning sections, and even those are pretty good. The game only gets more and more intense and interesting as it goes on. TheReally good game. Go in with NO expectations, even as a sequel. Beautiful visuals and great gameplay really make the world feel alive. The story starts seemingly simple but gets very ethically and emotionally complex. The game’s worst parts, looking back, are the beginning sections, and even those are pretty good. The game only gets more and more intense and interesting as it goes on. The only thing is, without spoiling, this is not a Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson game, but rather an Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey game. Don’t go purely for Troy. I felt a little angry at the game’s story at times, but by the end, it feels complete and bold. Intense, interesting, and fun (in terms of gameplay, not story of course), this game is really good. And while I loved the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the great story here along with the drastically better gameplay and graphics make me prefer this game to be honest, although the original will always have a special place in my heart. And, without spoiling, I feel it does do Joel justice, but you have to play the WHOLE game to understand that.

    Finally, even if you are bad at these games, I would highly recommend to at least try moderate or hard difficulty with aim assist and other accessibility features (some of them go too far, but most don’t sacrifice the experience). If you are still bad, you can change the difficulty, or even only certain aspects, in the settings at any time. I felt that the increased difficulty didn’t make me die a lot more, but it made the experience more intense and made me have to consider my resources slightly more. This sounds weird, but the gameplay routes provide many ways to get through the game.    … Expand

    There is no way this game should be rated as a 0 out of 10 completely dishonest reviews or it's because people are salty due to a certain incident in the game, the reason they have done this is to make you angry and make you WANT to kill the enemies for what they've done and for me personally it worked, they could have done what other games do and just said "kill these guys because they'reThere is no way this game should be rated as a 0 out of 10 completely dishonest reviews or it's because people are salty due to a certain incident in the game, the reason they have done this is to make you angry and make you WANT to kill the enemies for what they've done and for me personally it worked, they could have done what other games do and just said "kill these guys because they're not apart of our group" but instead they've involved the player emotionally this is a very rare thing in games now.

    I thought this game was great only minor thing that annoyed me was sometimes during the encounters I felt like I was being made to go guns blazing whereas I prefer to use stealth.

    Pros
    - Story
    - Atmosphere
    - Combat
    - Graphics
    - Detail/realism - Music (Play with headphones!)
    - Photo mode

    Cons
    - Stealth (issue mentioned above)


    This is based off a 22 hour playthrough gathering all collectibles, inspecting and reading all collectables. I will be doing a second playthrough to fully upgrade weapons and skills to get platinum trophy. I'm pretty sure there is no game worth a 0 out of 10, some of the reviews are laughable and makes me question if we played the same game. If you think I'm sticking up for Naughty Dog I'm not this is a genuine review, I've paid my money for the game, had I felt I'd been ripped off then I would have given it a bad review regardless of its creator.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel as though I'm in some kind of alternate universe to everyone else playing this game. I found it gripping from start to finish. To those saying there is no character development, I am absolutely befuddled. The writing of both Ellie and Abby is stellar. Ellie begins transfixed with this idea of revenge, much like the player does. But then Naughty Dog forces us to play as a character designed to be hated. They are taking us out of our comfort zone, which is what an emotionally compelling story should do. They tasked themselves with the seemingly impossible job of lifting both the player and Ellie out of this spiral of hatred, revenge and self-destruction. And not only did they manage to pull it off, they did so all while staying grounded and true to the characters. I truly think it rivals the first game in terms of its storytelling and I feel distraught for the fans who did not enjoy it in the same way I did.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As time goes on we can start to see the reviews from the people who ACTUALLY played the game and didn't jump to the fanboy/hate bandwagon.

    I would rate it a solid 9.5 but since it is not possible i'll settle for a 9.

    The gameplay is improved in every way imaginable from the first game, it feels heavy and meaningful, you actually feel bad killing most of the time.

    The graphics are (in my opinion) the best we have seen from the ps4.

    Here comes the "controversial" part, the story. It is a sotry about revenge, about a cycle of seemingly never ending violence.
    Joel's death lights the fuze for this story of revenge, making you HATE Abby and wanting to kill her at all costs. But as time goes on and you get to play as Abby (i'd say probably 1/3rd of the game?) you get to see that like Ellie and Joel, she too has a family and some friends to protect, an active comunity.

    At the end of the first game i kept trying to excuse Joel from the countless murders and the dooming of hope for finding a cure. "He killed a lot of people... but he did it for Ellie" i thought.
    This time is the other way around, i was starting to undertand Abby and why she did what she did while at the same time trying to hate her. "She saved some kids from certain death BUT she killed Joel".

    No other game has ever given me an experience sush as this one.

    Despite all of this i too would have liked to see Abby die (which is why i rated it 9.5 and not 10), but i understand why Ellie ended up not doing it. She finally breaks the circle or death, hate and revenge and becomes "the better woman", in a sense, better than Joel was.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent. The story makes you feel a range of emotions. It’s not a happy story But that’s the point. It won’t be for everyone. I was so disgusted by Joel’s death and I intensely wanted Abby dead. As soon as you play as her I knew they would try and make me have empathy for her. I didn’t think it was possible but I eventually grew to like her to the point I no longer wanted her dead. Think about it, if there was no TLOUS 1 or backstory to Joel or Ellie then people would hate them for they did to Abby. I’m glad Ellie let go before the acts she committed destroyed her completely. I do wish that Ellie found some kind of happiness and meaning in the end though and I hope that’s the focus if there’s a DLC or continuation of the story… Expand

    NO spoilers!
    I will begin with these words: this game worths its money (I made a pre-order) and all of my expectations were met.
    From the very beginning, you can see that developers loved what they were doing. The proofs for this statement are all the tiny details which they made: starting from the backpacks which are slide on the characters' backs while they are moving and ending with    NO spoilers!
    I will begin with these words: this game worths its money (I made a pre-order) and all of my expectations were met.
    From the very beginning, you can see that developers loved what they were doing. The proofs for this statement are all the tiny details which they made: starting from the backpacks which are slide on the characters' backs while they are moving and ending with the small pieces of glass which stay on the windowsill when you break the glass and then the character can swipe these tiny pieces from the windowsill while jumping over it. I can hardly remember any other game which has such a detailing.
    The game itself is pretty long. It took me 30 hours to accomplish the game but I tried to explore every corner, every small location, also I was reading all the notes I found and tried to open all the vaults. These actions took some extra time but I really enjoyed it and it helped to improve the vibe of this post-apocalyptic world. I really enjoyed some of the new game mechanics such as in the moment when you are given a map and you should explore a pretty big location and mark the places which you visited and what you found. Talking about locations, the thing which I noticed pretty soon is that the game itself became bigger than the first part. I really liked this fact because I loved exploring locations in the first game and here I did it too. Especially because the graphics in the game is really amazing even on my PS 4 slim. Also, I really enjoyed the atmosphere which makes you scared pretty often and keeps you on your toes.
    Talking about plot, it turned to be very touching for me and I got some ideas to think about. For me, it is not worse than in the first game, although, I think that not all people can enjoy it so much as I did. Many people scream out about that fact there are no such relationships like between Joel and Ellie in the first game which were the core of the atmosphere. Yes, there is almost no such relationships (except the flashback scenes) but I, actually, respect developer for that. They could do just a copy of the first game because they know that idea if the first game works and people love it but in this case, we would have a situation like with the new Star Wars movies. I mean the 7th episode is a plot copy of the 4th episode. The 7th episode was made just to attract new people. Developers of TLOU could do the same but they didn't. I respect them for their bravery.
    However, the game has some drawbacks too. Firstly, I noticed that many people talk about stupid AI. Alas, it's often true. For example, I was sitting around the corner and when an enemy comes close to me I can silently kill him but then another one spots his body and comes close too me too and I kill him too in the same way. Once I killed 4 enemies in this way. It breaks the atmosphere a lttile bit. However, enemies often make you afraid of them and you try to go through them quietly, what is more, I've just talked about is not familiar with the infected.
    The second disadvantage is that stealth mechanics haven't changed significantly since the first game. You still бщыедн just pick up bottles and bricks to attract enemies' attention. The differences are only the facts that now you can crawl and hide under cars and can craft silencer for the gun. When you making such a big game which is supposed to change the game industry you should add more new mechanics. However, the physics of the guns themselves became much better.
    The third con is about LGBT. I'm not familiar with homophobia and stuff and I respect such people but I don't like when it's aggressively promoted and in this game, it's obvious that it was added, just because they were asked for that. Nowadays just if you don't include an LGBT topic you will be accused in "homophobia" and they decided to follow the "rules" and no to "oppress" anybody. They made some brave decisions but in this case, they failed, in my view
    In conclusion, I love this game. It's a decent continuation of our beloved story and developers did such great work. However, I can's score 10 because of the cons I found but I still consider this game a masterpiece.
    Dear Developers, I can't even imagine how difficult it was to create this game how nervous your were. I'm sure that you felt responsible for this game as almost everyone considered the first game a masterpiece and you had to do something better than it. It's difficult to imagine how many problems you've got during the development including problems with family and health. It's obvious that the game was developed under big pressure. Non or the less, you did it! I want to thank you for that and let you know that time goes and the attitude to the game will improve in the future. Thank you one more time from a gut from a small Russian province town!    … Expand

I understand why controversy surrounds it, but I truly hope that folks realize the controversy was inevitable. This is game designed to put you through its paces, to force you to experience its narrative. It’s not a game about choices, which by itself makes it sort of a throwback in these days of almost infinite character design and open worlds. This is a game with a story to tell, and it requires you to travel with it.

    And what a story it is, far more akin to a novel than a game. You won’t be able to empathize with one character throughout, because that character’s actions will force you to reevaluate your feelings. Likewise, your initial impressions of other characters will change because of their deeds and motivations. I’ve never seen anything like in a game before. It’s clear that enormous thought and planning and artistry went into this story before any programmer touched a keyboard.

    Perhaps that is what impresses me most about the game, that Naughty Dog had a singular vision and, holy hell, did they follow through on it. I still find it hard to grasp the sheer scope of it all, the ridiculous beauty of the mountains surrounding Jackson, the heartbreaking devastation of Seattle, the set pieces that had me as tense as I’ve ever felt during a game. I can’t tell you how many times I asked, “How did they do that?” Even though it’s been seven years since the original, it’s hard to believe they pulled off this massive — there’s no other word for it — world in such detail.

    I will play it again, but not anytime soon. I want to approach it after it’s not so fresh in my mind. If you are on the fence, or have been concerned by the mixed or negative reviews—please, give it a shot. This game was created by talented professionals working at the very peak of their powers. You may love it, you may hate it, but I promise you that it is an experience you won’t soon forget.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is far from perfect, but it is the sequel that TLOU deserved. Well, first of all I don't even know what to say about the graphics and the gameplay, it is simply the perfect evolution of what the first game had created. The amount of animations made for the combat and all the little features that were added, like the silencer, are breathtaking and make the gameplay feel dynamic and as fluid as ever, and therefore making one of the best 3rd person games ever (gameplay wise). Naughty dog really nailed the techinical aspect, but now the story...

    I don't think that this game has a bad story, not at all, it has the best premise that a TLOU sequel can get, taking one of the main characters and making him pay for all the stuff he made in the first game is simply the only plausible motivation that would make Ellie seek revenge at any cost. But I agree that the way in which they did it was pretty bad, I get that the TLOU world is cruel and that death is always around the corner, but it's f*cking Joel. I don't think that Joel deserved that miserable death, maybe he could've sacrificed himself for Tommy or something like that, because it really made him look weak.

    As I said, I truly don't think that the story is bad, I just think that it is poorly told. I really appreciate the ambition of ND by making us see all the sides of the story, because after all, the last of us is a game about people, and not about Joel and Ellie. But they sure as hell shouldn't expect us to be happy by making us wait more than 10 hours to progress Ellie's story. I simply don't get why they needed to add 2 campaigns that are so long, maybe they could've made 1 day with Ellie and then 1 day with Abby so that we don't get so tired of expecting Ellie's story to come back. It would have the same effect that the devs intended, we kill everybody that day with Ellie and then see Abby's point of view of who they really are, instead of killing them and only seeing who they really are 15 hours later.

    People aren't complaining about the game because of the LGBT characters or the strong women in this game, it's just that the structure and pacing are horrible, and even though Abby's story is very interesting there's always that background thought wondering about what is going to happen with Tommy and Ellie that never goes away and that doesn't let us us enjoy Abby's plot as much as we should've. This isn't the game that we wanted, but it is the game that made sense as a sequel, I would give it 7.5 but since there isn't an option, I'm giving it an 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get started first thing I want to say is that The Last of Us is my favorite game series ever. The original game has been number one on my list since I first played it, and I have played the game all the way through at least 35 times or more. I was eager about The Last of Us Part 2 and waited forever for the game. I purchased a new PS4 in 2017 in hopes to get the game and I waited and waited until I had played so many games I decided to get another PS4 before playing this masterpiece. I bought a PS4 Pro as an upgrade and awaited the game. Suddenly all these leaks come out. Everyone is downing the game and I find out Joel dies. Well I had expected Joel to die oddly enough. Unlike some others it wasn't a surprise to me at all. However the way they took him out did surprise me, but honestly the leaks had me even more hyped than before. I couldn't wait to learn who these new characters were and what the new story was like. While some hated the story I found it fitting of the characters Ellie and Joel and also found it very realistic. When pulling back the layers of the game you get a glimpse of each persons role in the Murder of Joel, and even get to analyze them as a group. Each has their own part in the whole drama and I found it all to be very well done just like the original. The graphics are a 10, Sound is amazing and is a 10. Story? I loved it myself. So much care went into every aspect of this game and it really comes off as a film or show, and the acting is top notch. The game-play is brutal and the story veers into some horror levels equal with RE7 and the remakes. The Boss in the Hospital was amazing and much more well done than I had expected. Naughty Dog has really done well pushing the PS4 beyond it's limits. It is a very violent game and if that is what you are looking for look no further. The combat feels great and is addictive to play. I am already playing a second time through on new game plus. So much hate for such a great game. Don't let other deter you. If you are interested in this game just buy it, it is amazing to behold. I can say The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2 stand on the same line for me. They are both masterpieces and compliment each other instead of rehashing the same thing.… Expand

Cuando Sara murió, Joel cambió su    Mi opinión en español , el juego es muy bueno, me encanto la verdad. Pero tiene un par de cosas...

    Aspectos a tomar en cuenta sobre lo que se está hablando:

    La muerte de Joel
    Joel estaba con cierta ansiedad por haberle mentido a Ellie y peor aun cuando ella lo descubrió, es un punto en el que las personas no lo dicen, eso cambia a las personas.

    Cuando Sara murió, Joel cambió su forma de ver la vida, cambió por completo, el dejo de ser el que era antes, si recuerdan bien, el cambio a ser muy frío y era un traficante de armas al que solo le importaba terminar con lo que debía, a todo costo. Luego conoció a Ellie y el cambio completamente, pasa todo lo que ocurrió con ellos en la primera parte y ahora que lo vemos al final del juego llorar por Ellie, podemos darnos cuenta de que el siendo ya una persona mayor y mucho mas tranquilo, volvió a ser como en realidad es, no podemos decir "Joel habría sospechado de Abby y sus amigos" cuando el ha confiado en los hermanos negros en la primera entrega.
    Y su muerte fue como la vida real lo es, de un momento a otro. El se convirtió en un hombre noble, doblegado, es la misma persona que estaba con the last of us 1 con Sara.

    Era una bomba de tiempo para que las pocas luciérnagas quieran matar a Joel, el fue una persona mala en su momento. Y fue cuando menos se lo esperaba.

    EL FINAL

    Me parecio muy bueno. Ellie tiene un problema psicológico en el que no le dejaba tranquila por la muerte de Joel, la gente piensa que no debió ir a por Abby si no la iba a matar, no la mató porque sentía que iba a ser igual, por eso tuvo ese flashback de Joel muerto. Así que decidió aceptarlo.

    Fue un final agridulce al ver a Ellie perder lo que mas queria...

    Extra

    Ellie se identifica con una polilla, por que buscan la luz, las luciérnagas...

    My opinion in Spanish, the game is very good, I really loved it. But it has a couple of things ...

    Aspects to take into account about what is being talked about:

    Joel's death
    Joel was with some anxiety for having lied to Ellie and worse even when she discovered it, it is a point where people do not say it, that changes people.

    When Sara died, Joel changed his way of seeing life, he changed completely, he stopped being what he was before, if you remember correctly, the change to be very cold and he was an arms dealer who only cared about ending what he owed, at all costs. Then he met Ellie and the change completely, everything that happened with them in the first part happens and now that we see him at the end of the game cry for Ellie, we can realize that being an older person and much calmer, he returned To be as it really is, we cannot say "Joel would have suspected Abby and his friends" when he has trusted the black brothers in the first installment.
    And his death was like real life is, from one moment to another. He became a noble man, bent, he is the same person who was with the last of us 1 with Sara.

    It was a time bomb for the few fireflies to want to kill Joel, he was a bad person at the time. And it was when I least expected it.

    THE END

    I thought it was very good. Ellie has a psychological problem in which she was not left alone because of Joel's death, people think that she should not have gone after Abby if he was not going to kill her, she did not kill her because she felt that she was going to be the same, that's why she had that flashback of dead Joel. So he decided to accept it.

    It was a bittersweet ending when I saw Ellie lose what she loved most ...

    Extra

    Ellie identifies with a moth, because they look for the light, the fireflies ...    … Expand

    What an incredible game! Start to finish it truly takes you on an emotional journey. Dont listen to those with negative things to say regarding the game. It's obvious what there intent is behind the hate. Must play, must be open minded, must finish! So excited to see how this story moves into potentially part 3...

If she wouldn’t have killed Joel all of her friends would still be alive. I keep seeing people say Abby got a good ending she didn’t she lost everything and only has Lev left which is exactly what Joel had. Joel was miserable then he found Ellie and now it’s happening with Abby and Lev. The graphics are wonderful and the story is good but has some downs. Honestly I felt bad for Abby and I never thought I would have empathy for her. I cared for Ellie tooo overall the game made me question everything I was trying to figure out if I wanted Abby dead or Alive I liked her but I loved Joel but deep down I knew Joel wasn’t a good person. People keep saying Abby is evil but it’s not true she doesn’t kill innocent people and at the beginning of the game she tells her group not to kill Ellie because she’s innocent and didn’t kill her dad. Abby is a good person because she saves Lev and his sister. Ellie and Abby our the same both lose their father and got lost in revenge. Honestly I think Ellie doesn’t know who she really is- I feel like she wants to forgive Joel and she does when she doesn’t kill Abby. But through out the game Ellie is ruthless and angry which she should her dad died but at the same time she’s lost she’s not the Ellie from the first game she’s older and darker. This game gives me mixed feelings it’s morally grey which is realistic no one is perfect. But I liked the story because it was realistic every action has a consequence. Abby killing Joel made Ellie kill all her friends. And Joel killing Abbys dad made her come for him. This game shouldn’t be a 0/10 the gameplay is fun and the graphics are amazing. Another thing is the game wasn’t ruined by sjw you were just mad Joel died. Yes there is a gay character and guess what there was a gay character in the first game. Lev being trans is an interesting plot and helps you build a bond with him honestly Lev is one of the most bad ass characters. Ok I’m done I respect your opinion if you dislike the game.… Expand

    This game is unlike anything else, it’s a real masterpiece. It provided one of the most stunning, harrowing, conflicting, emotional, gut-wrenching and intense experiences of my life. It broke me in ways I can’t even begin to explain, it made me feel everything with such intensity that no other piece of fiction or media has been able to accomplish. You can have your opinion and disagreeThis game is unlike anything else, it’s a real masterpiece. It provided one of the most stunning, harrowing, conflicting, emotional, gut-wrenching and intense experiences of my life. It broke me in ways I can’t even begin to explain, it made me feel everything with such intensity that no other piece of fiction or media has been able to accomplish. You can have your opinion and disagree with some narrative choices, but Naughty Dog gave us a real story in a world where bad and horrible things happen. It was a story that needed to be told. And is brutally uncomfortable but equally astonishing. And you can’t deny either how well-crafted it is as well as the heart and soul poured into bringing this game to life. The gameplay, the visuals, animations and graphics are unparalleled and situates this game in a whole other level. So thank you Naughty Dog for delivering such a complex and beautifully crafted story and video game.

    Even if leaks and spoilers “ruined it” for you, give this game a chance. It is so much more than what you think it is or think you know. Play it, live through it and let it take you to one of the most gripping experiences a video game has ever delivered.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it is compared to the rest of the AAA games that are out there it is a definitive 10, there is no other game that can be compared in gameplay except MGS V, and if we talk about graphics it is the best that exists today it is almost not to believe that it is running on a PS4 and not on an RTX, the audio quality is just as sublime the audio is so good that it becomes something that is part of the same gameplay and gives total immersion, listening to the Seattle rain is more impressive to be a PS4 which the audio is not as good as it was on ps3 and the music of Gustavo Santaolalla because we all know how good it is, the art design, needless to say, it is the best of the game just like it was in the first, artificial intelligence is one of the best there is, enemies are always alert, they communicate with each other, they flank you, they track you down and they notice if something is wrong or if a partner is missing, in addition to going in front of an enemy or being exposed for a long time is very complicated, one thing for sure is that it is the game with the best lighting system (not RT) of all, and the characters (except for the unmentionable) are very good, Dina, Jessie, Owen or Lev have very defined personalities and can be empathized and feel interest very easily, and if we talk about the voice acting work this is something that was already a guarantee of excellence with the actors that we know lend the voice, and if we play on the subject of animations it is definitely the most natural and refined that It exists so much so that people came to think that the gameplay trailer was cinematic because it was not to be believed, the studio animations are to date the best in the industry. The game when compared to everything that exists out there is a 10 without problems, there are not many games with this level of quality.… Expand

    It's great - graphics, sound, character models, acting, gameplay. All great. And despite many suggesting otherwise, it's story, tone and characterisation are also great. A different but very "Last of Us" tale, with a similarly, multifaceted message at the end. If this was 'just a revenge story' then The Last of Us was just about helping your friend (clue - it wasn't).

If this was 'just a revenge story' then The Last of Us was just about helping your friend (clue - it wasn't).

    My main criticism of the game is that it is a tad too long and could do with a couple of lighter moments to break the bleakness. Not sure if the significant graphical improvements and subtle but welcome gameplay tweaks quite make up that shortfall when comparing it to the first game, but otherwise this is a great sequel that only loses out to its predecessor slightly and only because it hasn't got that novelty value. I mean we were expecting something mind blowing and lightning in a bottle is very difficult to capture twice. They came close though.

    It is very similar to Part one - bigger sure, better? maybe, maybe not.

    For those that enjoyed the first one, if you understood why it ended in the way it is did - not just the "saved Ellie cuz I like Ellie" bit, you are highly likely to love this game. If you are the sort of person that freaks out when you realise sometimes things happen that are bad and there is nothing you can do about that, then consider staying away and just continue to enjoy the first one.

    What is funny is that the story (which is essentially about bad things happening and learning to put things behind you so you can move on) has flown over the heads of a lot of the previous game’s fans in the most spectacular fashion.

    I know, right? a game about growing up, being review bombed by people that mostly haven't grown up!?

    Who'd have thought...

    P.S. Partly came here to check the rumours about MC blocking negative reviews (lol). This is my third attempt posting a positive review, so it’s likely just the massive volume of activity on this page (compare it to any other big game, its crazy!). Still at least it gives the nutters something else to get upset about!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay and visuals are incredible (can't wait to see it on next gen consoles). Sometimes I paused and used the photo-mode to capture some of the jaw-dropping set pieces (classic Naughty Dog).

    The stealth mechanics were some of the best in any game I've played, mainly because they were more realistic than other games that use similar mechanics (but still offers a significant advantage to the player). For example, you'll have dogs sniff you out if you get within a certain detection distance and enemies can spot you from pretty far away. If you're in the grass, it doesn't completely shroud you from detection if they get close enough and you're in their line of sight. The AI is also pretty clever in this game, making for some tense situations. If you're quick enough and have good aim, you can silently take out enemies and avoid combat at higher difficulties. The thrill of sneaking past some of the absolutely horrifying monsters in this game combined with the factions hunting you down really gets the blood pumping.

    I didn't have much of a challenge playing through the game. I played on hard mode my first play-through and had numerous occasions where I was fully stocked. There are some tough boss fights, but there are numerous autosave points to make fights easier. So if you like a challenge, you'd probably be fine starting out on survival difficulty honestly. Just make sure to explore and to move/kill from the shadows as best you can.

    As for the more controversial topics, I liked the characters. They're animations and conversations seemed realistic, the facial animations were stellar, and the developers fleshed out most of the characters just enough to understand their personas and motivations. Obviously, the structure they chose just made gamers rage against the machine, hence the mixed reviews. Out of all the things that make this a 10/10 game, such as the gameplay, the visuals, character development, first openly lesbian couple in a game, references to the complexity of gender identity ( all of which wasn't in your face about it), the little details in the combat/easter eggs/environment , hilarity in the light hearted moments, the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie, the clever level design and AI, sound design and ambience.... ALLLLL that, and you **** up the structure of the game? ND could have kept everything they had here, restructure the game, and you'd have a definite 10/10, GOTY on your hands. Sadly, I have to painfully give this incredible game an 8/10 for this one criterion.    … Expand

    When I first heard of the controversy surrounding this game I was surprised. I was told that the game was pandering to the LGBTQ+ community in a way that was so unnecessary that it seemed patronising. I can can tell that the level of LGBTQ+ representation is this: there are gay/trans characters in this game. It doesn't derail the story in anyway. These characters simply exist. And they'reWhen I first heard of the controversy surrounding this game I was surprised.

I can can tell that the level of LGBTQ+ representation is this: there are gay/trans characters in this game. It doesn't derail the story in anyway. These characters simply exist. And they're great.

    When I sat down to play the game I was instantly hooked. It's a thrilling, emotional and devastating revenge story that barely let's you catch your breath. The writers do an incredible job at showing the futility and destructiveness of revenge as well as the grey morality of the characters. The switching perspectives between protagonists will make you realize no character is completely good or evil, they all have their own motivations and their own stories. You'll begin to feel like every NPC you kill has lived a life just as rich and full as Ellie and Joel have. Which adds significant weight to every encounter. It's a difficult thing to come to terms with as a gamer, as you are so used to feeling certain throughout the game that what you are doing is right. You will not feel like that playing this game.

    Yes this game is heartbreaking. Yes it's not what many players wanted to become of these beloved characters. But it's an example of some of the most gripping storytelling in gaming I've experienced (I haven't been as hooked to a story since Red Dead Redemption 2) and it left me staring blankly at my TV for the entire duration of the end credits. Feeling a thousand emotions at once. Gamers are emotional. So I completely understand some people's anger at the story. But the story is fantastic nevertheless. Please ignore the controversy and negativity surrounding it and play this game. It's incredible.    … Expand

    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]
