    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a masterclass in AAA games. The visuals are incredible, and not just in terms of graphical fidelity but in terms of variety and imagination. Seeing a giant sweeping river through Seattle was breathaking. There was good pacing for the most part, straddling the line between exploration and action perfectly. I was really impressed how much space there is left to the player to explore and invest in the world. They could have bloated the meticulously designed locations with non-stop action as padding but they showed a lot of restraint in balancing exploration and action. There is a lot of diversity in tone too: when fighting humans it feels like an action game, when fighting the infected it feels like a survival horror game and it swaps between the two effortlessly. Action is fun and stealth is fun and one can seemlessly bleed into the other without any issue. I was particularly impressed by the tension in some of the encounters with the infected. Incredible atmosphere and sense of doom with the sublte low droning music. The new additions to the infected helped to keep combat fresh though I'm unsure how I feel about the use of stalkers in places. They certainly mix up combat and stealth but at times they were annoying.

    The acting and characters are great and the story it tells is actually quite a unique one. I'm impressed they really tried to do something new. It is fundamentally a story of vengence and forgiveness and the mindlessness and violence of tribalism. It's also a story of letting go and mental torture of obsessing over the past. It's ironic that this game has the same hate thrown at it that it is highlighting in it's story. It's the tribalism rife in social media at the moment spewing out hatred between people that could otherwise just get along or at least get on with their lives. Instead we are all meandering around obssesing with fictitious characters of people and we don't care to find out their context or communicate with them. By the end of the game I was on team Abby which I really didn't think I could be at the outset. Ellie just seemed broken and volatile, destroying everything around her when she should have been trying to fix herself. Abby was awful for sure but she moved beyond her past. The ending fight was poignant and brutal. I'm so glad it ended the way it did. With painful self-reflection.

    My main complaint would be that the last 10 hours or so felt a bit drawn out. Perhaps it's because I was playing on hard and being stealthy all the time against increasing odds ends up just feeling like work. Or perhaps in terms of the story, it is just inevitable that the story is drawn out when trying to construct two independent and linked story lines that are both fleshed out enough to care about the characters. Finally, I think some of the bosses are a bit unfair. If you haven't diligently stocked up with ammo they could even be impossible? I had almost no ammo left after the Rat King and I had to basically dodge him for 5 mins trying to get all the crafting materials I could to beat him. Add his insta-kill attack and it just wasn't fun after the 10th try.    … Expand

    El juego básicamente le da continuidad a la excelente primera parte de esta franquicia exclusiva de sony y desarrollada por Naughty Dog. Su fuerte y verdadero reclamo principal es la historia. Una historia que está al nivel de cualquier serie de gran presupuesto de las que nos podemos encontrar en los servicios de streaming de hoy día. Cada partida es un episodio más en el que avanzaremos a lo largo de dos campañas que en el juego se desarrollan de forma paralela y cuyas tramas coinciden durante el tiempo.

    Se trata de una historia dura, cruda y violenta, de gran carga emocional, que nos tendrá pegados al mando por unas 30 horas, hora arriba, hora abajo.

    Técnicamente el juego es impecable. El mundo exterior está vivo, desolado y a la vez muy hermoso aunque tambien se cuenta con escenarios oscuros y terroríficos.

    Esta partida la hemos hecho entre dos personas, mi mujer y yo. Y aunque lógicamente tenemos formas depensar parecidas, puesto que somos pareja, no llegamos a entender cual es el problema por el cual este juego tiene tan solo un 5.7 en su nota de los jugadores. Es un juego de 10 en lo técnico, la historia te podrá gustar más o menos. Pero ponerle notas por debajo del verde es claramente por problemas subjetivos.

    Masterpiece. I disagree with all the “this story stinks” i was engages the entire time. I’m not gonna post spoilers but i loved playing as Abby. It shows the”bad guys” do what they do for a reason. And in her eyes Joel and Ellie were the “bag guys” it’s a cool angel that humanizes the people your fighting and makes u see why the are how they are. I highly highly recommend it.

It's hard to forgive... no, not what Abby did - I get that. But how she did it and under what circumstances. But to me Abby turned out to be a better person than Ellie. Or rather she developed into one. While Ellie remained that same bitter soul, that was supposed to die to give her life meaning but was robbed of that. And now she's lost... And that's probably another reason why people hate this game: we don't get to choose how the story develops and ends. Instead we're made to look at the conflict from both sides. And hopefully see Abby's truth... and understand that there're no villains in this game.… Expand

They definitely achieved the maximum out of the old PS4 hardware.
    Everything else - animations, motion capture, the actor's performance - top notch. For the technical reasons alone it's just laughable to give this game any score lower than a 5 or 6 - the amount of details they've put into the game is just outstanding.

    There were little problems with the pacing, especially in the second half - but all the positives outweighs these little problems clearly.

    After playing this game for almost 27 hours.. I have to say that i had a blast!!!

    Lets start with the pros first... 1. The visuals in this game and the attention to detail is just incredible.

    1. The visuals in this game and the attention to detail is just incredible. I can clearly see that the Dev's at Naughty Dog put a lot of painstaking work into perfecting this department. The atmosphere man... it nails it. I really felt like i was in the world.
    2. The sound and music is fantastic again. The way the every weapon and guns sound has a lot of oomph. The music that plays during quieter and tense combat scenes is better than the original.
    3. Main characters, other secondary NPC facial and movement animations are also very very realistic.
    4. The length of the game is a huge plus.
    5. Enemy AI and stealth is very good. Killing enemies in a gory fashion is really enjoyable, more so than any other game i have played in the recent past. It reminded me of Splinter cell Chaos theory for some reason but on steroids!!!
    6. No BS micro transactions!!!
    7. I really liked the characters in this game. Some may not be completely fleshed out as other Naughty Dog games. But they really tried their best and took a Hugh risk which i think payed off to some extent.

    Now, lets get to the cons..

    1. The story is a big let down. I understand that The story and the characters in it belong to Naughty Dog and they are following their vision. But still it stings a little.
    2. Stealth encounters can be a bit repetitive.
    3. Pacing is not good. Some sections of the game experience down time but its not much.
    4. Game is bit easy even while playing on hard mode. Especially the stealth sections.

    Verdict: Overall, the Last of Us 2 as a Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts. I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing this game and highly appreciate the artistry of what Naughty Dog has created here. The Story and these characters were created by Naughty Dog so, its their right to do what they please with them. They took a risk with the story but it did not pay off to an extent. Writing a story is not an easy job. I though the Last of Us Part 1 was a 10 but I am going to give this game a solid 9.    … Expand

    Don't listen to the March of the Man-Babies... it's a masterpiece, despite some narrative flaws and divisive risk-taking.

    It took me a while to post the review, as I didn't want to do so without actually playing it first (shocker). I am a huge TLoU fan, so between trying to dodge spoilers and hearing snippets of the controversy, I was nervous about what awaited me. Having finished the game, I personally find the review-bashing to be a vast overreaction from a mixture of immature, entitled superfans and garden variety homophobes, neither of which are worth your time and attention.

    Here's my attempt at a calmer response:

    The two biggest criticisms I heard about this game is that it was comparable to the Skywalker Trilogy/Game of Thrones (underdeveloped and disrespectful to character arcs) or that it's pushing some kind of extreme SJW agenda. Neither is true.

    To the first point, I would compare it to what the final season of GoT would have been if they kept the controversial character decisions, but actually spent the time and attention necessary to flesh them out. People will still be mad at seeing a character not act the way they wished, but it was well-supported thematically. In particular, I find the anger regarding the ending to be downright puzzling, as it is the natural conclusion to motifs the story had been hitting you over the head with since the first act. I do agree that some characters' final decisions could have proved more nuanced if supported by an additional plot device or few lines of dialogues, but the environmental storytelling did a good enough job of explaining why the characters did what they did. As I tell my lit students when they read Invisible Man... you don't have to approve of a character's decisions to appreciate the author's intent.

    As for the SJW claim, this game is a great example of why the LGBT community just can't win in the world of narrative depiction. The extent of the "pushy" nature of these characters is that they exist. Yes, there is a lesbian and a bisexual character. They are in a relationship. That relationship impacts character motivations and development throughout the game... you know, like every straight character since the bloody Gilgamesh.

    There is also a transgender character. He commits the terrible internet crime of telling the protagonist that he's transgender once. It's why he's being persecuted by his people, and he doesn't like to talk about it much. Other than that, he's just a character. Oh, and the far-left decided to join the mob because he is dead-named against his will... kind of like transgender people are all the time. So he gets to be a lightning rod of controversy because he is openly trans but not openly trans enough, but also too openly trans, but also too tragic, but also daring to acknowledge tragedies that people like him face every day. And did I mention that he exists? Shame.

    Preachiness aside, there are some easily identifiable highs and lows. The action is smooth, the voice acting is phenomenal, there are some absolutely gang-buster character-building scenes (shout out to the museum sequence), they did a great job of world-building a city despite the game's linearity (a la FFVII remake), there's a nice mix of horror and peacefulness, and you can pet the doggo.

    A lot of the criticisms people bring up are quite legitimate... it's just ridiculous to think that they merit 0-bombing the metascore. For instance, pretty much everyone agrees that the pacing is a problem, particularly in regards to their treatment of the protagonist/antagonist dichotomy... it switches PoV at an awkward time, and should have mixed the narratives more consistently in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance given when the game tries to make you sympathize with the "villain." Likewise, most people agree they failed to actually make you sympathize with the "villain" because of an underdeveloped backstory/tragedy and an underdeveloped impetus for their later attempts to blur the hero/villain line. It also makes you do actions against people you have grown to love, which is uncomfortable to say the least (though at least interesting/unique as a mechanic aligned with the central themes). Plus, it makes you kill the doggo. Boo.

    But you don't actually have to like the villain to appreciate the plot... it's enough to show that heroes and villains are imperfect, both have their own PoV, and the apocalypse isn't allowed a Marvel-esque good/evil dichotomy. You can definitely hate the villain at the end... it's still narratively effective.

    My final thought about the flaws in this game is that they are vastly outshined by its moments of brilliance. To say they earn it a 0 would be comparable to saying Breath of the Wild deserves a 0 and a series cancellation because no one likes weapon durability. Bull-honky. The game is fun, well-developed, and at least has the cajones to take risks... like them or not.    … Expand

    If it disappoints you, I understand it.
    If you love it, welcome to this great audio-visual work.

    Part 2 is, above all, courage. Courage to do something that was not contemplated, something that would surprise again, and not what most of us expected.

    Part 1 changed the rules.
    The second part does it again.

    Thank you, Naughty Dog.

    *STORY: Peace is never lasting. And after a few years of tranquility established in a peaceful community, Joel and Ellie's lives are shaken by a violent event that will put the young woman on a quest for revenge.

    Despite the mistakes Part 2 makes (irregular pace and hours of filling mostly), the story in Part 2 makes complete sense.
    The ending is well-developed, but there is one particular moment that should have been mounted better.
    Part 2 is the opposite of what the first one conveyed: Part 2 is sad, very sad.

    *GAMEPLAY: Part 2 improves very positively the ganeplay of the first one, which was already quite good, but it still had things that could be improved or added and Part 2 does it in a fantastic way.

    *GRAPHICS: Part 2 is a graphic and artistic beast. It's not the best graphics game on the market, but it's on the podium without a doubt.

    *SOUND: Part 2 has an exquisite soundtrack, at the level of the first one or even better, since it's much more innovative than the first part, which could be too similar to each other.

    *INNOVATION: Part 2 risks a lot. For some a success, for others a failure. Of course, it's fresh air despite being a second part.
    We find new weapons, new objects, new enemies and, above all, a great new sequel.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lemme just say I'm unbelievably lucky to have missed the leaks in April. I absolutely loved TLOU from the moment I got to play the demo at PAX East back in 2013. Thankfully I went into TLOU2 without any of the story spoiled for me, but to be perfectly honest, even if I knew I think I'd still like the game.

    Why?

    Now that I've finished it, I would like to give my thoughts on the three biggest complaints I've been seeing online. First, that killing Joel was, at best, **** storytelling, and at worst, a huge F-you to TLOU fans. I hated that Joel died that way, but in my opinion it was perfectly appropriate for the story they were trying to tell. Others have said this, but TLOU2 is essentially a love letter to Joel. I was disappointed that he wasn't a main character but the player is supposed to mourn his loss.

    The second gripe that I keep hearing is "Abby sucks." No **** she's a murderer. You're not supposed to like her. By playing as her, we are forced to experience the consequences of Joel's selfish decision. The unfortunate conceit on part of the writers is that they don't really care if you like her or not. Her purpose in the game is to show that other people in this world, just like Joel and Ellie, have families, hopes, loves, and motivations just as complicated as the main characters. The uninfected people you kill are actual people. Often **** people, but Joel and Ellie aren't exactly saints themselves.

    Yeah, I get that it was a bit off-brand for Joel and Tommy to let their guard down when they first met Abby in the woods, but after five years of "normal" life in Jackson maybe softened them a bit. Who knows? To be completely honest some of the Abby parts for were a slog for me, but the destination was worth it. I could write a much longer essay of what I think of Abby but here isn't the place. Suffice to say, I totally get why some people still don't like her after all that. However, a lot of these 0 and 1 reviews just seem like a tantrum over having to play someone they don't like while completely missing the point that Abby's journey is essential to not only Ellie's journey, but the overarching point that justice isn't always possible and revenge isn't always satisfying.

    The last major complaint is the idea that Ellie "failed" Joel, or that the whole point of the game was lost, by her not killing Abby. That complaint really blows my mind because the whole game was trying to beat into you the futility of vengeance in a world where everyone has suffered terrible losses. Abby learns this the hard way by opting into the cycle of violence by killing Joel, only to lose her friends and loved ones by Ellie's hands. By the final confrontation, they're both completely broken. Ellie's obsession with Abby is really just her displaced grief at never being able to properly forgive Joel, plus her massive survivor's guilt of being immune and it being rendered pointless. During that fight I was horrified at the thought of Ellie actually killing her, the same as when Abby was about to kill Ellie in the theater. Granted I care more about Ellie than Abby, but if the game had ended with Abby drowned and Lev alone I would have lost my ****.

    Overall, I think the game is absolutely worth playing. Sure, there are some things I think could have been done better, specifically the pacing of some of the Abby parts and the fact that all the decisions seem so predetermined. I understand why some people dislike the structure of the game and how you play as Abby after Ellie, but I personally don't think that warrants a very low score. Also, I feel a bit cheated in not giving Ellie a ratking-esque boss fight, but that's not enough to knock off a point.

    What I think the game did exceptionally well is the accessibility options, because I'm hard of hearing and being able to adjust the subtitle size and add direction indicators is really nice. The gameplay, skill upgrades, and weapon selection are top-notch of course. One other thing that made me really happy was they didn't pull the "bury your gays" with Dina.

    The story wasn't a disappointment, but it wasn't immediately satisfying in the way the TLOU was. It took me a week after finishing it to process what I really think of it, and the more I think about it the more I want to play it again. Then again I'm a sucker for sad ****.

    I really appreciate the narrative risks they took with this game. When they said it was dark, they meant for the player, not just the characters. This isn't about revenge as a power fantasy, it's the darkness of watching someone you care about spiral down a path to misery. In the end Ellie saved herself, but it cost her nearly everything. I sincerely hope there's a TLOU3-- that sad dumb lesbian better find Dina and get a happy ending where a cure can be developed without killing her. One can hope, right?    … Expand

Los desarrolladores han hecho uso de sus facultades y su libertad creativa... pero sí, le faltó realismo en un punto: nadie en esa historia parecía tener la madurez suficiente para expresar que todo lo que estaban haciendo por venganza no llevaría a nada bueno. Quizá fue Dina quien apenas mostró algo de sensatez en cierta parte de la historia. Los demás personajes podían hacer cosas buenas, pero siempre era por egoísmo. Aún así, le doy un 10 al juego, porque se nota un gran esfuerzo y sé que si este juego recibe un buen apoyo, servirá de ejemplo para que la industria siga creciendo para bien.… Expand

    Naughty Dog creates stories with video games like no other studio. They proved this with Uncharted, The Last of Us Part I and now with The Last of Us Part II. This video game challenges you as a player, it causes a wide range of emotions. Naughty Dog dared to make unpopular decisions and it paid off. I never played a game like this and I look forward to Naughty Dog's future projects.

    A game not really about revenge, but guilt, the cycles of violence, and forgiveness. It not only challenges your preconceived notions of what is true or not, but more or less tests your capabilities for empathy.

    Первое, что хотелось бы сказать... Я люблю и одновременно ненавижу эту игру. Касательно второго... Во время прохождения сюжета я получил настолько сильные эмоции и впечатления, что во время финальных титров возникло душевное опустошение.. Так было и после прохождения первой части - я месяц после этого ни игры, ни кино не смотрел - на столько высоки были подаренные игрой эмоции. В общем-то переплюнуть Naughty Dog могут только сами Naughty Dog, что они и сделали, создав шедевр.
    Признаюсь, в игре есть резкие и не очень приятные сюжетные повороты, после одного хотел бросить игру и влепить "кол" на метакритике, но потом вял себя в руки и прошел игру.. Она воистину божественна. Качественная графика, красивые текстуры, обширные локации, незамыленный сюжет без обилия клише, порой доходящее до паранойи внимание к мелочам, приятные анимации, в том числе лицевые, доработанный, хоть и до боли знакомый геймплей - все сделано качественно и со вкусом. Еще раз отмечу сюжет - он здесь шикарный, если бы я был дома один, когда играл в эту игру - наверное пару раз заплакал бы. В век ААА-проектов с громадным открытым миром и множеством сайд-активитис в играх легко потерять суть повествования, но Доги и тут всех переплюнули, завставив неистово дико бомбить любителей бессюжетных рпг-песочниц и лутер-шутеров. Для тех, кто боится ЛГБТ-тематики, могу Вас уверить, что в игре есть только поцелуй и легкий флирт, не более.

    Questo è uno di quei casi, dove le emozioni ed i sentimenti che si provano giocandolo, non sono raggiungibili da nessun altro medium d'intrattenimento.
    Part 2 è uno di quei titoli che ti fanno amare ancora di più il videogioco, perchè ne capisci grandezza e bellezza.
    Parlando ora nel dettaglio, partiamo dal lato puramente tecnico.
    Graficamente è ineccepibile. Ogni ambientazione curata nel minimo dettaglio, realistica nel suo contesto.
    Non ci sono assets ripetuti, case uguali, mappe simili. Ogni cosa nel gioco è unica e mantenere tale varietà per più di 30 ore con questo dettaglio, e a dir poco strabiliante.
    Animazioni fluide e realistiche, molte conestuali perciò uniche.
    Il comparto della animazioni facciali è il migliore visto fin'ora, sia in game che nelle cut-scene.
    Modelli dei personaggi, infetti, cani ecc, di una qualità superlativa.
    Cut-scene a dir poco strabiliante, con una recitazione perfetta ed una messa in scena di altissimo livello. Ognuna di queste mai banali, con un'ottima scrittura, rimangono in testa per parecchio tempo.
    Sonoro pregievolissimo ed una colonna sonora perfetta.
    Dal punto di vista del gameplay, ci troviamo di fronte ad una evoluzione completa di quello già visto nel primo capitolo.
    Prima di tutto il fatto di poter saltare ma sopratutto sdraiarsi e strisciare, permette un approccio agli scontri vario, dinamico ed imprevedibile.
    Tutto questo grazie ad un level design a dir poco perfetto, tra cunicoli, strettoie, verticalità della mappa, ecc.
    Buona varietà di armi e personalizzazioni di queste ultime, oltre ad uno skill tree che permette di approcciare al gioco nel modo in cui si preferisce.
    Intelligenza artificiale dei nemici non rivoluzionaria, ma sicuramente sopra la media.
    Infetti più "svegli" e aggressivi, con gli Stalker sicuramente i più tosti da affrontare.
    Parlando dal lato narrativo, il gioco non solo raggiunge le vette del primo capitolo, ma le supera andando oltre. Una storia di vendetta, in cui la vendetta è solo il mezzo per mostrare come il dolore può far crescere quel vuoto, quell'oscurità, che pian piano ci divora dentro.
    Una storia anche di redenzione, dopo aver perso completamente se stessi, ossessionati dall'odio e dalla rabbia.
    Una storia che non ha buoni o cattivi, non ha vinti o vincitori.
    Una storia che non riguarda personaggi ma persone, con le proprie vicissitudini, sentimenti, paure.
    Se il finale del primo capitolo vi aveva lasciato senza fiato, quello del secondo ha un impatto emotivo senza eguali per quanto mi riguarda. Uno dei finali più emozionanti che abbia mai vissuto.
    Potente, triste, speranzoso, malinconico, tutte queste sensazioni in un unico attimo.
    Nelle 30 ore vi ritroverete dentro ad una sceneggiatura e scrittura di altissimo livello, con un finale che vi rimarrà in mente per tantissimo tempo.
    Per me è un CAPOLAVORO, un gioco che è entrato di diritto nel mio cuore e che non scorderò mai.
    Grazie Naughty Dog.    … Expand

Не стоит зацикливаться на том, что в начале умирает один из главных героев прошлой части и просто самый душевный персонаж серии, не стоит идти и поливать грязью игру, после того, как играешь за Эбби, эта игра глубже, чем кажется, она заставляет менять своё мнение о персонажах и не раз, а если осмыслить концовку, то она может много о чём сказать, у меня есть претенция к сюжету в том, как легко Джоэл заманился в засаду, это, по-моему мнению, единственная недоработка и нелогичность в сюжете.
    До прохождения самолично игры ожидал ЛГБТ-дерьмо с терминаторами на спидах, но оказалось совсем иначе если попытаться понять игру, а не проходить с твёрдым мнением.

    Estou na metade do jogo apesar de ter pefgo no lançamento, e posso dizer com convicção. É sem sombra de dúvidas um dos melhores jogos da minha vida. Tenho 32 anos e estou mais uma vez encantado com TLOU. O 1 foi espetacular, esse é tão bom quanto ou melhor. Como disse acima, estou apenas na metade pois não quero terminar, exploro cada canto e enrolo onde posso pois vou ficar chateado quando chegar ao fim do jogo. É sem sombra de dúvidas SENSACIONAL.

    One of the best games ever made. I often think about this game and how I wish I hadn't played it just so I could experience it again for the first time. Truly a horror masterpiece. The accusations of it being "woke" are nonsense. Wanted to leave a review as I was thinking about "review bombing," as that's the snowflake trend nowadays, and how unjustly this gem was treated.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DISCLAIMER: We don't have to agree about this. Honestly, a beautiful thing about books, movies, or games is the discourse between those with differing opinions. One can say that The Last of Us Part 2 is the greatest game of all time while one says that The Last of Us Part 2 is a game riddled with inconsistencies and confusing story decisions. Also, I will be going into story spoilers, so keep that in mind as you read. And yes, I have beaten the first game and this one; I'm not just a mindless drone who follow what the critics say or what the users say. Ready? Here we go...

    If you haven't played this game, and you clicked on this hoping there weren't actual spoilers, let me summarize my overall general thoughts into this paragraph. The Last of Us Part 2 is a remarkable game that has the technical, emotional, and thematic prowess of a well-crafted film. Are there things wrong with it? I'd say so. But, does this underpin the phenomenal aspects of this game that make it well worth your time? I can't say so.

    Gameplay: In short, this game feels and plays wonderfully. The new additions are excellent in how they allow the player to diversify tactics. Nonetheless, I do feel that this game can get repetitive. As fun as the stealth sections are, there's hardly diversions from the formula except for a few key sections. When I was able to call over the infected to fight with the WLFs and sneak by, I was impressed by how creative the section was. When I had to fight just a bunch of scars in another grassy plain again, I was not impressed that I had to do the same thing over. Combined with the games 20+ hour story, this gets tiring over time. I know this is a stealth/survival-horror game, and this is a well-made one at that, but I do wish the game had more originality in its gameplay. 7/10

    Visuals/Music: As expected, The Last of Us Part 2 looks and sounds amazing. Is it Naughty Dog's best looking game? I'd have to play Uncharted 4 again as that game was extremely impressive, but this one has breathtaking moments. From the facial expressions to the backgrounds, this game has so much effort put into it, and I can't express how much of that feeds into the emotional aspect of this game. When the game wants you to feel something, nine times out of ten it will succeed with a lot of it coming from the game's music or visuals. That's how amazing it is. 9/10

    Story: Alright, let's do this. This is where people will either praise or trash the absolute crap out of this game. Where do I stand? I'm gonna do a touch of trashing and a heap of praising. So, let's start off with what I think doesn't work. I can't say it any better than a review I found online where it stated that there was a part that felt like a 10 hour sidequest. I love the story overall, but I can't help but feel that the pace of the game in general does not work as well as the first. Mixed in with that gameplay issue I had before, some parts of the game were a chore to get through. And yes, I'm sure it's a chore for Ellie and Abby to get through these sections as characters, but the game hardly engages me in these sections as it would in other parts. Also, regarding the switch in main characters, the game kind of asks you to flip flop your emotions, if that makes sense. While I actually think the game succeeds in making you sympathize for Abby, it's a complex thing that takes time to develop, so in some ways, I understand why it turns others off even if I was invested. So what did I like? Almost everything else. The way this story moves in order to make its point is at some points genius. Joel's death is saddening especially since he was a likable character; but, think about what Joel did in the first game. He murdered people including those who were about to uncover the cure, even if his reasons to do so was the entire backbone of the first story. Joel's death makes sense in this messed up world. The way that enemies will call out the names of the fallen is a fascinating way to highlight the consequences of your actions. This isn't just a "violence is bad" story, this is a "value of human life" story which I think is far more interesting considering how it ties into the main characters. Ellie and Abby both do some messed up stuff but when it all comes down to their final fight, they both become better people and understand each other. Joel and Ellie both do some messed up stuff but when it comes down to their final real conversation, they both become better people and understand each other. This game doesn't dishonor Joel and Ellie's relationship, because how it ties into Abby and Ellie's relationship is the most significant element of this game. I'm impressed with how this story portrays a coherent theme even in some bold story decisions. 8/10

    You may not like The Last of Us Part 2, and that's okay. But, I highly encourage you to give this a try and create your own opinion. 8/10    … Expand

    Graphics and game play are top notch for any PS4 game out there. Very little bugs, only a couple that were visual that had no impact on gameplay.

    The story I don't see why there is so much hate from everyone against it, I enjoyed it, not quite as much as tlou1. I do think it dragged on slightly too long, at the least the last 5 hours or so and went back and forth in it's revenge plot one too many times. There were two flashback sequences that just involved too much walking around and talking I found particularly boring at times as well. Overall it was worth the $80 I paid.    … Expand

    This game will shake you like no other game has ever done. It is indeed controversial and it made me do things I didnt want, and some others were not like I wanted them to be BUT, because I can do it all over again, I will.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't often review games but in this case I needed to. When I played the first game I was very unimpressed until I reached Jackson midway through the game. I noticed the bond between Joel and Ellie and was bewildered by the attention to detail. No other zombie game really pays close attention to how an event like a zombie apocalypse can change a like-minded individual. Joel kills so many people before and during the events of the game it's ridiculous and it's all capped off by one of the best endings to any game. The Last of Us 2 is not as good as the first that's just not something it can be. It is however a very innovative game when it comes to the portrayal of enemies and the gore effects. It also nails the story I could really care less if you agree with me. Joel's death was an inevitability as one of the patrols his job is to kill all infected on his route and to identify and trade with other groups to keep Jackson thriving. When he and Tommy meet Abby they are forced to trust her and retreat to her camp because of the horde. As said earlier Joel killed a lot of people and it was only a matter of time before he crossed someone and when he did it wasn't going to be pretty. I say these things because common complaints are that Joel should have known better or he should've had a heroes death but there is no such thing in The Last of Us. Joel's death affected me probably the exact way it was supposed to. I've never been so onboard for revenge I remembered the people who did that to Joel and they were always looming I'd always hope I'd be running into them soon. Once I got to the Abby story line I was about as upset as everyone else I got to the chapter ground zero and took a break for a couple days and came back fresh. I finished Abby's storyline and as much as it's presence in the story is a blemish on the game the 2nd half is far better than the first half. What I would have done with the Abby story is make it an optional campaign upon finishing the game sort of like separate ways from resident evil 4. The end leaves something to be desired but I think it's fine. Please don't review bomb this game just play it if you feel like playing it and give it the score you would actually give it. Review bombers are a plague on the entire gaming community and makes it very difficult for some people to find a resource for whether they should buy a game or not and undermines everything the devs worked on (yes the ones who were on crunch to bring you the game as fast as possible). Before you say "0/10 is my score for the game" this game isn't a 0/10 not by a long shot games like Big Rigs, Ride to Hell or Rambo are games worthy of that score.

    Pros:
    *Combat
    *Graphics
    *Attention to detail
    *Enemy behavior and personality
    Cons:
    *Poor use of Abby's storyline
    *Poor ending    … Expand

    The attention to detail and atmosphere in this game is some of the best I've seen. Gameplay is fun, same mechanics as the first game with small improvements here and there. The enemy A.I in particular is noticeably better. Graphics are what you'd expect from an AAA game, stunning environments and the character models are impressive.

That being said, if you're a casual who hasn't played the original, save your money. The only critique I have regarding the story is that it's extremely long which not everybody has the patience for.

    Overall you should play the game for yourself and form your own opinion on it rather than listening to sheep who've never even picked up a copy of the first game.    … Expand

    Oh my god. I can't stand all the garbage people are saying about the game. Everyone is pissed off because character development was not the way they wanted to be, or characters actions was not what they judge best, or because it looks too much political now, or because two girls are getting laid, or… come on people! Grow the ***** up! Stop complaining and just send you god damn curriculum to Naughty Dog and do something better than this. I’m kidding. Naughty Dog wouldn’t employee people like this.

    In my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece and the best 2020 game so far.

    Homossexual relationship, transgender and other stuff are topic in the game, but in a secondary way. And by the way, I don't see this as a problem. I could care less about what Ellie are into. If she is into girls, well good for her. If Abby is stronger the Rambo, well good for her too. I can't believe that this became something to judge in a game.

    The game give to us, again, a harsh reality. And that won't be necessarily a reality we wanted to. Well DEAL WITH IT! Sometimes people we care just die. Out of nothing! And here comes the shocking spoiler: This happens in real life too! If you can’t stand Joel’s death, imagine what Ellie felt. If you are too weak and can’t stand the feeling, stop playing and go find something more colorful to cheer you up. You probably won’t find any consolation in this game. Well I did. But it looks like people don’t think the way I do. It would be too easy for the world.

    I think Ellie is so confused about her feelings that some people say the whole revenge thing is not so convincing. That she turns into a crazy maniac killing people on her way and didn’t even finish what she started. Well that was the way she dealt with loss. In the end, she probably didn't even want that revenge. Maybe she was just so messed up, that killing people was the excuse for her to at least feel something different from regret. And not killing Abby in the end?! For me that was the masterpiece decision. She saw Abby as Joel and Lev as herself when she was young. For me that was the masterpiece. Forgiveness is a way better message for me than revenge. That made me admire her more than I already did.

    Best character ever. Best development ever. And yes, for me is much better than the first one.    … 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.
