    Absolutely amazing, excellent character development and arch. Takes you down paths you wouldn't expect in a beautifully designed world. Wrought with emotion and twists you wouldn't expect to see.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While not *quite* as tight in its storytelling as the first game (both Abby and Ellie’s individual sections drag a little) the ambition of this sequel is incredible and something that I haven’t seen in a story-driven game to this level before. Naughty Dog took risks in their storytelling that ultimately paid off in their intention to make an entire player-ship question their motives and morals throughout. For all of the complaints about this being a game that ‘disrespects’ Joel, ultimately this wound up being a love-letter to Joel, while somehow simultaneously understanding how his actions could drive somebody to revenge, allowing us to understand their motives at the same time. Gameplay is much improved from the first, with general encounters being considerably more engaging, and set-pieces, especially the Scar Island Escape allowing for the gameplay to be leagues ahead of the first game. It’s also beautiful enough to almost qualify as next-hen, and ultimately will be remembered as *the* game of this generation of PlayStation games. Masterpiece.… Expand

    Fantastic. I understand that people hate it. It is nothing like the first game besides the gameplay and the ending is not as "happy" as the first one. It's impossible to review this game in so few characters so I won't go into details but I advise that you play the game from beginning to end and form your own opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a preface, I just made my first and only metacritic account and I am writing this review and giving The Last of Us Part II a 10/10 to help fight against the unnecessary review bombing. I would honestly give it a 9/10 for some game-play issues, but overall it was a worthwhile experience. I finished the game a few hours ago and successfully avoided any kind of spoilers throughout my time with the game. If you are a fan of the first game, you will enjoy this one. Just do yourself a favor, play through the prior game and this one and make up your own mind before reading though any review site or forum.

    This title improved upon the first in every way, except for multiplayer which they totally got rid of, which is, in a way, an improvement. I experienced few, and very minor, game-play bugs, but nothing that tarnished the game in any way. The game-play gave me what I expected and more. It allows you to experiment and try different methods to overcoming enemy encounters. The puzzles are frequent. Exploring the detail rich environments is very rewarding and adds so much to the universe that Naughty Dog has created. My only complaint about the whole game would be in game-play, which is the AI. The AI is very very dumb. Naughty Dog has added some features that improve upon AI from the last game. At some instances I would have Hitman flashbacks where I would find some murder corner and pile up 20 bodies while the NPCs would vaguely know where I was, but would be completely unable to do anything about it. I do plan on replaying at a harder/the hardest difficulty so hopefully that won't be a problem anymore. However, I didn't buy this game for the shooting and looting. I bought this game for the story and the world in which it exists.

    The story pulls you in directions that you do and do not want to go. Your heroes become jaded and selfish. The villains; you learn to understand and relate too. At the end of it all it's hard to tell who was right and who was wrong. And at the center of it all is you, the player. Throughout the entire journey, I experienced an array of emotions. The story doesn't go or end where I wanted it to, but it went and ended just where it should have. Some stories are fun and kind and the hold your hand along the entire path. This is not one of those stories. Treat this game like a novel. When your done with it, do it again. And then give it to someone else so that they may live through the characters like you did.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played both. Didn't read spoilers. Wasn't sure I was gonna love 2 as much as 1. Thought a basic revenge story would be boring. People on the internet are skimming through this game as if it were a reading assignment due the next day (it shows). The game tells a complex tale of coping with grief, challenging you to objectively humanize the enemy, and themes of evolving identity analogous to the first game. Along with a ton more that I know I missed on my first playthrough. If you are on the fence about playing this game stop reading reviews, stop watching content, just find a way to play the game yourself. The experience is powerful if you just allow yourself to experience it organically. Or... Continue to spread negativity and gain nothing but contempt from others I.e. post comments about a game you truly never attempted to care about in a futile attempt to get revenge for a plotline that you disagree with. The game won't change and you being mad about it does nothing about it sales figures 4 million copies in 3 days. Learn to move on.… Expand

    Combat feels fluid, tactical and exhilarating. It has the same brutal impact of the original’s, mixed with an increased variety of ways to approach scenarios with some thrilling results. The environments are some of the most detailed in any game I’ve experienced and the graphics are some of the best on either console or PC. The music and sound design are also stand out along with the brilliant acting and mo-cap from the likes of Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey and Troy Baker who breath such life into their characters. The story has proven to be incredibly divisive but I really feel its one of the strongest parts of the game. It drew me in completely and I just had to keep playing as I was desperate to know how it would all come to an end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Obviously the user score isn't reflective of the quality of the game itself, but rather the projected insecurities of those that haven't even played it. When the game was leaked, people criticized it for the way that they disrespectfully killed off Joel or how Abby is supposedly trans. Now that the game is out, all of those points just seem to fizzle away. The truth is there, plain and simple... Naughty dog made an incredible game. They killed off Joel early on in a brutal way but the reasoning behind that was expanded upon later on. I had seen people stop playing or give up the game at that point, even going so far as destroying their disk. Those people will miss out on the context and expansion of Joel's character via the various flashback exposition moments between Ellie and Joel in the off moments between Part 1 and 2. Joel is a fantastic character, an excellent father figure, but a **** awful human being for what he decided to do to save Ellie. He shot up a hospital, killed Marlene, killed the only medical professionals that could have created a cure for all of the innocent people left alive, just for him to have his daughter figure still in his life. Over the course of the first game as you progress by killing dozens of people but those were usually cases of self defense, the moment Joel first killed in Seattle, he was strictly on the offensive and a lot of people were desensitized to the fact that he was killing due to them just being random enemies just like every other encounter. The Last of Us Part 2 expands on that by humanizing the WLF. While brutal, they're still humans that are just trying to survive. They appear to be backpacked survivors just like Joel and Ellie, they call each other by name, they get devastated upon discovering the bodies of one of their friends/comrades/dogs that have been slaughtered by you or the Scars. This new perspective simply expands on what you're really facing and if you're really the good guy in the story. It's highly debatable if what Joel and Ellie do in the games that would be considered "right" but those lines become more apparent the more you kill. Joel was a selfish monster that let his own feelings of losing a daughter again take over, dooming humanity. I've discussed this with others and people came up with the argument that Joel had finally found something worth fighting for and living for in a game where it constantly was showing you that humanity was beyond redemption or repair. The more you see Jackson thriving in the second game, you see that a chance at a normal life was a reality that nobody had considered and that a vaccine would have saved so many innocent lives of civilized people. Ellie begins to follow in Joel's footsteps by murdering every one in her path in order to enact vengeance against anyone involved in the death of Joel. An emotional, irrational, response to people that were perfectly in their rights to hunt down a mass murderer of innocent doctors and civilians looking to better the world. Sure it may feel cathartic and satisfying to hunt down these people and get your revenge but that difference in perspective gets thruster onto you when you begin to play as Abby. You peer into the lives you've destroyed or devastated in the events of the first game and you see that you're not the hero that your protagonistic bias has led you to believe. You're becoming the horrifying monster that Joel was, and in that the game's message became clear. This is the circular path that revenge will always be. Abby understands it better than Ellie which is why Abby leaves Ellie alive TWICE. Which brings me to my second point, as of the release of the game the leaks were wrong in the regard that Abby is trans. She's not and that was confirmed. Regardless of if she was trans or not, it was clear just how much spite people had towards a character like her. She's not pretty and she's not meant to be pretty and it pissed people off that they're forced to play as "the ugly villain". I won't even begin to address the hatred against transgender individuals being the motivator for so many negative reviews because that's not a valid point to be making. Abby is muscular, built like a fridge with those broad shoulders. We see in the flashbacks she wasn't always that way, but after the death of her innocent father she trained hard to be able to be strong enough to kill the man who killed him. Sure she might not be the most relatable character you've ever played in a video game, but her perspective was necessary to tell this two incredibly different sides to the same story. You're not meant to like her, you're meant to understand her. The game itself I feel had expanded quite nicely while staying true to the gameplay of the first. The controls were familiar but with an accessible expansion of convenience in terms of weapons and crafting. The strongest commendation I'd give is the sheer attention to detail when it comes to storytelling and gameplay.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU part II, like the name sugest, is a second part of an story. So you need to analise the game as a sequel for the first game.

    About the game-play: TLOU2 give to us the smooth game-play for the first game, with a lot of improve; the shooter part of the game have the same mechanic of the first game, with more animations and more smooth animations, everything sounds more real, the fight mechanics of the second game is way better than the first game, the aditional evasion mechanic makes the melle fight way better too, most important, the melle animations make sense with the scape mechanics, making a fluid scene in every fight scene.

    About the story: You need to understand that this game occours 4 years after the first game; Joel, Ellie and the rest of thw crew showed to us on the first game are now living in a "peacefull" city, with a "Peacefull" live, when you read the log of scouts, this is more clear. So... There`s some aspects of this situation you need to understand to get the point of the plot.

    When you move on the plto, you have a mission, a revenge mission, and a Breaking Bad mission also. The thing about this game is about you, becaming a monster, and undertand what makes you a monster... And why eveybody in this game is a monster.

    There`s plot hole, this is true. The game isin`t perfect, this is true also. But the things that this game makes good, is SO GOOD, that makes the bad things simple and small.

    IMO this is a 10/10 game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOILER HEAVY REVIEW/REACTION]
    While I agree that the first game is a masterpiece, Part 2 is even more so for me on so many levels... This game indeed has a very controversial story, but it makes perfect sense to me and I understand the decisions that the characters have made. Also, the parallel storytelling is absolutely genius, and it plays with my emotions so much. Then there's environment and gameplay, which are definitely elevated from the first game and then some.

    Now let's get onto the real SPOILER heavy portion of this review...

    ===Story===
    Naughty Dog wanted to make a game with a theme of vengeance, and they did just that. The whole game is surrounded by vengeance, and what people are willing to do to fulfill that. In my opinion, the story and character reactions were complicated but never out of place, even though sometimes they can be very overwhelming. I won’t dive too deep into the plot, but I do want to address two main arguments that fans are having.

    First of all, I would like to say that killing off a beloved character simply does not mean a story is bad. I understand people's feeling are hurt, since someone you love so much from the first game got brutally killed. But let’s be honest, Joel is not a hero. While this doesn’t mean he should die (especially in such way), you cannot say his death is not justified, especially that he killed someone's father, and essentially ruined the chance of a cure for the human race.

    Now let's move on to the main playable characters. Ellie was set on a quest to seek revenge because her father(-figure) was murdered, and she went on every length to accomplish that, which is what most of the players want to do after witnessing Joel's death. But when it comes to Abby, whose father was killed by Joel, also set on a quest to seek revenge, I noticed many people are suddenly not okay with that. Honestly, I think Abby's action is just as justified as Ellie's, the difference is that Joel's death is personal to the players, but Jerry (Abby's father)'s is not.

    ===Storytelling===
    Storytelling might be my favorite part of the game because it gives the players different perspectives. When I played as Ellie and Abby, I get to see their personal life, and experience their thoughts and memories separately. At a certain part of the game, I have to go to the same area twice, but as different characters. When I first played as Ellie, I didn't think much and just by default eliminated everyone in that area; but later, as I play as Abby (timeline wise Abby gets there earlier than Ellie so everyone's still alive), I get to talk to them and interact with them. While this doesn't make me feel entirely "guilty" that Ellie has killed them all (since they are obstacles to her goal), it added a personal touch to that story and gameplay, knowing these are Abby’s friends (and fur-friends) and they are just doing their job.

    The parallel storytelling in this game makes me think a lot more than other games. It turned an otherwise linear revenge story into something much deeper and much more human. I equally love Ellie and Abby at the end of the game because I see them both as human, instead of two game characters who are blessed by the creators, I feel their loss and pain, and I understand why they made all the decisions.

    ===Environment and Gameplay===
    I will not spend too much time on this other than saying the game is gorgeous but brutal, and the combat is super fun yet can be extremely challenging (especially a certain new clicker).

    Frankly, I don't write reviews much, but with the tremendous hate that this game has gotten, I feel a need to express my opinions (hence certain parts of this review are more of my reaction). Of course, Naughty Dog can just make another game of a cross-country tour featuring Ellie and Joel that's filled with love, and people would be happy. But I admire what Naughty Dog has crafted. It's a very dark, intense, complicated, and controversial story; but through the gameplay, I feel a much stronger emotion towards the story and much deeper connection to the characters than I excepted.

    This is a game that I would highly recommend anyone to EXPERIENCE firsthand, rather than just be an observer or just storm through the plot. There will be times that you feel happy and loved through the characters’ eyes, but also moments to drown in shock, hatred, and revenge. Afterall, they are human in a post-apocalyptic world, and they are all just trying to survive.    … Expand

La gente está dolida por la muerte de Joel, me incluyo porque pensaba que la que moría sería Dina. Si ustedes leen las razones de porque es un mal juego, solo repiten lo mismo: "Lesbianas" "Transexuales" (que nunca los hubo) "Inclusión forzada" cosas que al final no afectaron en lo absoluto la historia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was an absolute rollercoaster from beginning to end. Honestly, the only thing that is preventing me from giving this a perfect score is the pacing. There is a point mid game where the perspectives switch and it jars the player out of the immersion that had been established. I feel the game would have functioned better by having the player tackle one day at a time as both Ellie and Abby in order to better establish the similarities these two actually share. The themes about revenge and an overall coming-of-age story really does play well into both character’s stories. Abby was a character that clearly had some walls she had built in order to protect herself and with Lev, he managed to break all of that down. In a way, Abby became Lev’s Joel. Ellie’s character is defined by the very obvious discomfort she shows when she tries to be a badass murderer like Joel was: Nora’s torture in the hospital, Trying and failing to interrogate Mel and Owen in the aquarium (resulting in her killing them in self-defense) and subsequently having a full on anxiety attack upon realizing that Mel was VERY pregnant. Ellie is NOT a murderer. She is empathetic and cannot kill in cold blood without repercussions. She isn’t Joel, as much as she tries to be throughout the story. The fact that Abby showed Ellie mercy TWICE and didn’t kill Dina by the wishes of Lev shows just how much Abby realizes that revenge isn’t always worth it. Her revenge on Joel led to her closest friends being killed. On the path of revenge, you dig two graves. Ellie didn’t learn the lesson of forgiveness until the final conflict with Abby. But the cost of her continuing her revenge, she lost everything upon her return to the farm. Dina and JJ are gone, presumably back to Jackson. Ellie lost the life she built due to her need to avenge Joel’s death.

    Another high point in this is Tommy, I believe Tommy embodies that rage that never dies. He was the first to leave after Joel’s death, he didn’t even tell Ellie, who watched him die too and was his surrogate niece. Tommy acted as a catalyst to keep Ellie on her rampage for the sake of avenging Joel. Hell, Tommy nearly died at the theater conflict, but a lucky shot saved him (whether Abby intentionally missed is up for debate). Despite having been okay going back to Jackson that night, he continued trying to track Abby and Lev down. He MOCKED Ellie for wanting to let go and move on. He threw the point of the ending in the player’s face without us even noticing. Naughty Dog really nailed down the themes of forgiveness and the cost of revenge and it’s not often something like that is told in a video game. Again, pacing and establishing Abby’s life as you move through the city only to culminate with the conflict in the theater would have been a cherry on top and given the game the 10/10 for me.    … Expand

One of the major gripes being a particular scene involving a golf club. That scene set up the character Abby. That scene made me despise her and want nothing more than to hunt her down in as Ellie in an epic revenge story.

    The story ended up making me love and understand Abby as a character and completely understand and sympathize with her motives. It made me realize the impact of Joel's actions in the first game, and that the impact of those actions were felt on more than just faceless NPC's.

Leaks aside, we all knew it was something to do with Joel. Or Dina. Or Tommy even. It has amazing visuals, music and gameplay. Stays true to the original and somehow makes it feel new. It is a long game. Especially if you're going for 100%. I think I felt the length of this game because it's not that open world. I put 80 hours or so into RDR2 and it didn't feel like it.
    As a gay person, I did like the representation. Everyone complaining about the gay "pandering" needs help. There is no lack of straight people so I don't know why they're mad. Unfortunately you do have to play as Abby. I get what they're doing. You have to see how Joel's choice affected other people. You never stop and think about who he actually killed. Did that doctor have a family? Was he someone's father, husband? The end is bittersweet. It's open to interpretation. They cycle stopped when she let Abby go with Lev and she just let go of everything. No heros, no villains. Nobody wins in this world. I chose to believe Ellie heads for Jackson to get Dina back and finally move on.    … Expand

    My head is still spinning even after beating it 2 weeks ago. This story will go down in history as something that pushes gaming narratives to areas we never thought possible. It excels in all aspects it wanted to and much like it’s prequel, is the perfect swan song to an amazing Sony console

    It's just, dramatically, perfect. I wouldn't change a comma of this masterpiece: I don't want to go into detail, because it would be difficult to depict its being, and it would take right words. I'll be brief. The Naughty Dog was brave, she took risks; but she took a good risk and she did great.

I wouldn't change a comma of this masterpiece: I don't want to go into detail, because it would be difficult to depict its being, and it would take right words. I'll be brief. The Naughty Dog was brave, she took risks; but she took a good risk and she did great. I felt more of those emotions, which start from happiness, to anger, to sadness, compassion, empathy, to the point of being empty. I didn't think I could feel all these emotions put together, in fact there was a time when I didn't know what emotions to feel - I was in trouble. Every point of view was important, and you have to be the most analytical to understand and appreciate what it is and that will be the masterpiece of years. Morality is there, and if you have not understood the meaning of history or, indeed, morality, you have not really understood what The Last Of Us is in general.

    P. S. Some critics are nonsensical, have the same modus operandi and all look the same: clearly they come from people who have not played it, those who have not understood it, who do not have a Playstation, or who feel "offended" by the themes covered in the game.    … Expand

    It seems to me that the only problem of this game is that it has outgrown part of the audience of the first one. Hence grow the origin of all claims to the motivation of the characters and their decisions. Dissatisfied players either do not want to accept the ideas that the game is trying to convey, or simply can not do it.

    This game is a heart-breaking test of human empathy, that leaves you exploring with your heart more than your controller at most steps. Some minor character decisions stumped me at first, but those of the main cast felt nothing but deliberate, precise, and thought-provoking.

Vengeance has two parts, different point of views, and that was the way the creators choose to tell this story. Looking forward to play it the second time to collect as much collectibles as I can.

    "No one is perfect" I think that's what they tried to show in this game. Everyone is a good person in someones story, and a bad person in someone else's. Must play it with an open mind. Revenge is a chain and in the end Ellie just broke it.    … Expand

    This game cannot be fully understood by most people.It is a piece of art and it should be treated as such.There won't be a game as brave as this one ever again after all the hate it has gotten.I could go on but I suggest you try it for yourself as I did before judging it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A divisive game but one that is very important. What at first appears to be a rather generic plot that is told well, with an incredibly bold move in killing off a beloved character, transforms into something quite remarkable. I’ve never played a game before that is so provocative, ambitious, relevant, challenging and bold in its execution. It tests the very fabric of the players sense of morality and hits with a profound sentiment. The game is borderline Shakespearean in its approach to the human condition in a way that gaming could only attempt. A true testament in the evolution of gaming, I feel this title is further proof that gaming is the best platform for art in history. It’s a game you have to experience, watching it or reading a review doesn’t do it justice, because it is a story to provoke and test you the individual.… Expand

    I’m an graduated anthropologist, and Naughty Dog has created a work that speaks not only of inclusion as something superficial but of understanding otherness, which is perceived at every moment: in each menu, in its creative teams, in the ideas it exposes, in the story it tells. They has created a masterpiece among all, not for what he intends, but for what he does.

    One of the best games I have ever played.

    The story, and the Way they relæ, it’s simple put superb.

    Graphics are the best the PS4 Can deliver.

    Do not miss out. Do not pay attention to the **** ratings given by people, WHO cant handle playing a lgbt character.

    Thors game deserves every gamers attention, as it is simple a tour de Force in storytelling and design.

    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]
