    Dark, depressing, beautiful Absolutely amazing game with detailed world, characters and gameplay. Game is incredibly fluid.
    Story is written very well. People might disagree with the direction of the story, but it’s impossible to deny incredible storytelling.

    I pre-ordered this game twice, due to Sony canceling the first from delays. The first came from faith in Naughty Dog’s ability to deliver: verified throughout the Uncharted series and the first part of this series. The second pre-order was a decision I made after hearing that the story was leaked; I avoided the content of the leaks but witnessed the overwhelming negative reaction to them. The only hints I gathered for the plot were based on trailers and pre-leak comments, such as the theory that Joel dies -- which turned out to be correct. My excitement never died down, throughout all delays and controversy. I’ll make some notes about gameplay, but the focus of this review is the story, which has caused the most divisiveness online.

    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay and mechanics are great and drove me to keep playing for hours and hours in a single sitting. I played on Hard and it turned out to be a good balance between pacing and enjoyment (I didn't want to finish the game just for the story). My only problem is that I could rarely pull off the flashy moves seen in the trailers, which showcased incredible interactions with the enemies and environment. I think a future run-through on an easier difficulty will open up those possibilities, though. The ability to go prone was a simple but much-needed addition that made me feel more human and mobile than the first game. Most spaces were navigable and squeezing through narrow spots proved to be a satisfying mechanic.

    CHARACTERS
    The newly-added characters are my biggest problem with the game.
    In TLOU1, the writing combined with the voice acting resulted in some of the most engaging dialogues and personas I have had the pleasure of experiencing, in any form of media. The game's introduction -- a short and sweet conversation between a daughter and her dad -- had me deeply invested in Sarah and Joel quickly but organically. The Southern twang they spoke with made them unique and real, and contributed to the feeling that I knew who they were. When Sarah was killed, I was feeling the exact sense of dread that Joel felt, and this instantly cemented him as a do-no-wrong protagonist in my mind. Despite this, my positive view on him was constantly challenged throughout the game, though, making him more complex than just a 'good guy in a video game'. None of the other events of the story would have mattered if I didn’t initially care about Joel.

    In TLOU2, I only saw this rich character evolution in characters I already knew, and this was because I understood who they were. I could recognize each turning point in their character arc, such as Tommy’s initial indecision on revenge transforming to his irrational desire for it. On the other hand, I could never engage so deeply with additions like Dina, Jesse, or Abby. Part of this was because the voice acting was fairly cookie-cutter, all sharing a rather neutral personality with no distinguishing emotional characteristics. They had stories to tell, but I couldn't care as much for them because they weren't distinct or special. This isn’t to say these characters didn’t undergo an evolution. For example, Abby helping Lev was a turning point for her, but it didn’t feel like one because I couldn’t determine who she was before this change.
    Luckily, my enjoyment of the complete experience in TLOU2 made this less impactful than it could've been if, say, the gameplay or story were not as impressive as they were.

    STORY
    After my first play-through, I felt the story did not live up to that of the first. This may have been due to preconceptions I garnered from the loud outsiders who bashed the plot before experiencing it. Sometimes, I would find myself picking at tiny details in the story rather than taking in the overall picture. Once I changed my microscopic view to a more holistic one, I came to love TLOU2’s story more than the first. No other game has given me so many different interpretations to the character’s reasonings, or had me questioning their decisions weeks after completion. No other game has drawn such a blurred line between protagonist and antagonist (I still don’t know who’s who). As my appreciation and love for Joel kept growing and growing through the incredible flashbacks with Ellie, a tug-of-war commenced between understanding Abby’s (and humankind’s) revenge while wishing that Joel lived, or at the very least, died a dignified death. This wasn’t the only tug-of-war going on; Ellie's internal conflict for revenge against Abby also left me deeply torn, as did many other decisions and deaths in the story. Despite this, in the end, every single rope broke and the immense pain endured by all parties to ‘win’ meant nothing.

    Side note: Joel’s death scene is a masterpiece. The museum flashback is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Ottimo gioco, sicuramente un capolavoro che rimarrà nella storia dei videogiochi.
    Un pò lunga la parte con Abby, non mi è piaciuta la scelta di far giocare metà gioco con l'assassino di Joel.
    Sarebbe bastato dare 1/4 di storia ad Abby per conoscere e comprendere il suo punto di vista.

    Amazing story (as expected by the geniuses at naughty dog), I genuinely believe The Last of Us (I+II) is one of the best stories ever told by a video game/ movie/ tv show/ book or any other storytelling medium. However I feel the game-play could have been better, it is a bit repetitive and boring at times.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Look I played the game 3 times already , and here is a quick review of the game in my opinion. 1) story is actually good if you actually understand the point of it. Slightly weaker narrative than the first game 2) Main Characters are excellent. Loved Ellie and Abby, the side characters are mainly plot devices especially Abby’s friends. Wished could’ve learned more about Dina and Jessie they were interesting characters 3) Gameplay is amazing very responsive and smooth. when you play as Abby, she is basically Joel, she can bust up skulls with her bare hands just like joel. Ellie’s gameplay is also well designed. Going stealth as Ellie is the super fun, using the bow with explosive arrows is so satisfying 4) Graphics is AMAZING.
    5) Lastly Joel’s death, yes it’s sad , I’ve seen many people’s reaction to this and majority said that he doesn’t deserve this death and should have a hero’s death. Look man Joel’s no hero, the man did bad things to get what he wants and he literally is a selfish man he literally prevented a cure from happening just so he get a second chance to have a daughter. The reason why we love him so much is because he’s so real , we learned his side of the story and he is a father figure to Ellie. That’s why we adore him so much. But saying he deserves a hero’s death is dumb. Overall love the game so much 9/10    … Expand

    However once I steped in Abbys shoes I was not only blow away by the fact that they are a mirror of each other but also the fact that Naughty Dog made me side more with a character that was just introduced as the villa, over the main protagonist of the previous 2 games.

    Abby as a character is strong both physically and morally but she is also very much so human, she has fears, impulses and failures but they all add up to make what I would consider a perfect character.

    But for me, it is the best part, at first when we were given to control Abby. But this is the beauty that you've to journey along with the person you hate and see her emotions, see her getting peace because hate is not the solution (which she thought she will get after killing Joel. The peace she achieved and the peace Ellie achieved in the end were similar. For me, it was a beautiful story.    … Expand

    It's raw, it's upsetting, it's sad.
    There's anger and confusion, every topic is spot on. The level design is supporting the whole plot and makes it even more intense.
    Naughty Dog did an amazing job and I'm glad it took this long to come out. Product is finished and close to perfect.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t know where to start. But play The Last Of Us first before embarking on this piece of art. But for me, while avoiding anything that had to deal with this game, months prior to its release and the emerging leaks. I was totally blown away from the hard working craftsmanship from the awesome people over at Naughty Dog, again. From the super smooth and gorgeous graphics to the lively gameplay and very human like characters, it feels like a fresh breeze of air for video games. The smallest details just had me paused and just acknowledge the world that you are role playing in as Joel, Ellie or Abby. Now the narrative is **** awesome from starting as Joel telling Tommy, his brother, the lie he told Ellie that her “immunity meant nothing” when in fact he saved her cause he loves her as almost as a daughter and wasn’t able to save Sarah (please play the first one, the game echos with numerous references to Part I) to the ending where Ellie let’s go of drowning Abby. I was disappointed, at first like why did she let her go? But then I thought about the Thank You letter from Neil Druckmann on behalf of ND. “-a game that we’re incredibly proud of and that we hope will enthrall you and challenge your own views of justice and empathy.” Just my opinion, but if Ellie didn’t go to Santa Barbara to seek out Abby, she would’ve died. But this game is about retribution for Joel’s death through the eyes of Ellie and Abby for why she sought him out. Which is a gnarly chain reaction. The way the team was able to mirror those perspectives, like seeing someone as the “enemy” and then you playing as the “enemy” totally sealed off whether they are the hero or villain. Instead I saw them as two beings fighting in their own theories of justice, which usually ends in violence. And for Joel’s death, yes it was heartbreaking and a punch to the gut, but no one is invincible (even in reality) in this universe and his actions finally caught up to him, he will always be a dope character and I hope they go in depth with him more in the HBO Series, but it was necessary. From his consequences to really pushing Ellie’s and Abby’s narrative it’s just a full circle ending of violence. This game will probably be seen as a modern day “Manhunt” game but really questions, is violence the answer? Really awesome playing during the COVID-19 outbreak, potential showed a dystopian for mankind if we don’t get this fixed, but was unprecedented. So it felt like a festive game, not going to lie. And also the diversity of characters that they brought into as well was like its reflection on society but the aftermath of an apocalypse. But anyways I’m on my New Game + on Survivor, collecting the collectibles, and I haven’t felt this was from a different game since Fallout 3. There’s soo much to explore and see and for it not being really open world, they make it feel like that. Finally I just want to say that seeing Naughty Dog go from Crash Bandicoot (Smash Brandi’s Cootch) to this game just shows how much they’ve grown a lot and my first game that I played ever was from them (Crash). So a big NICE **** JOB will always go to them. Game of the Year for sure and a game to top for the decade. I’m waiting on Part III, please.… Expand

    I enjoyed it too much, the most ambitious game that I have played until today. I did not like Aby at first but little by little she won my heart to the point of drawing tears in a particular situation. Great game that explores the different faces that the characters have as heroes and villains at the same time. I finished it a week ago and I'm still reflecting on what I experienced.

Naughty dog не подвели и в этот раз. Все кто хейтит игру ожидали что будет игра максимально похожая на первую часть, но дело в том что это совершенно другая игра. Да, с теми же героями но другая. Первая часть была дорожным приключением, вторая история про месть и про последствия. За последние годы ни одна игра не вызывала таких эмоций и переживаний за героев. В этой истории нет чисто хороших и плохих, есть обычные люди которые живут, ошибаются и пожинают плоды своих ошибок. В ходе игры приходится играть за обе стороны конфликта и это привносит свою изюминку. Игра это смелый эксперимент, неудивительно что многим не понравился такой подход. Про техническую составляющую игры и говорить не надо, все на высочайшем уровне. Геймплей очень хорош, не понимаю тех кто говорит что он скучен. Искусственный интеллект противников на высоте, я играл на максимальном уровне сложности и мне было очень нелегко. В заключении скажу мне игра очень понравилась, конечно не шедевр, но очень крепкая и сильная игра, несомненно заслуживает высокой оценки. В поддержу Naughty dog поставлю игре высший балл, ведь в наше время мало выпускают такие смелые и авторские проекты.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally I really enjoyed it, and gameplay and storytelling wise, it was a definite improvement since the first game. Only real issue I found was that the final area felt rushed, unpaced or that something larger was cut due to content or time restraints. Other than that, this game was amazing. This review will very quickly summarize the first game, address this current game, and address the constant incredibly false rumors circling many gaming communities.

    This will contain [!!!!SPOILERS!!!!]

    The game is a direct continuation, and the story is the complete result of Joel's decision at the end of the first "The Last of Us".

    Last Game Summary
    In The Last of us 1, the story is about a man named Joel who is hired to take Ellie, who is immune to the zombie infection, to a specific set of people who would use her to make a cure for the infection, thus saving the planet. The game is mostly about Ellie and Joel bonding, and upon the end where Joel gives her up, he learns that Ellie will have to die in order to save all of humanity. Joel refuses to let her die, so he commits a brutal genocide of the innocent doctors, who are trying to save the planet, and lies to Ellie about what happened. Roll credits, to make the player really think critically about whether or not Joel was the bad guy or not.

    This Game Summary
    In the Last of Us 2, It very clearly restates all that happened back to the many many people who didn't quite understand the end of the first game, who genuinely thought it was a happy ending. The story is perceived by 2 people. One is Ellie, the immune girl who Joel lied to her whole life, and who he let her live so everyone can suffer in the zombie hell hole. And Abby, the child of the cure-making, world-saving doctor who was brutally murdered by Joel. Abby on a quest for vengeance on the man who not only murdered her whole family, but also doomed all of humanity, and then to find the rest of her people, and Ellie on a quest to find her uncle and kill Abby, once Abby brutally takes revenge on Joel.

    The story and its symbolism
    Both stories are reverse parrels and told in a very artist and symbolic way, causing many who didn't pay attention, have never taken a simple language class or are inept are reading between the lines, be confused or not understand it fully. Allow me to quickly summarize the basic themes.

    Abby's story is one of redemption, and filled with many guilt and regret symbolism, especially as it becomes more and more apparent of her horrendous guilt he feels for Joel's murder and the fact that she really only wishes for the cycle of violence to end while trying hard to keep her composure. Her guilt toward Ellie and the realization that she caused Ellie to become similar to her in regards to revenge is a very apparent reason to why she lets her live in every single encounter. Her dreams, that appear in each day, are symbols of regret and that one day she may face her dad. Lev, Her f-m trans companion, is Abby's symbol of innocence and positivity whom she grows closer to as her redemption progresses

    Ellie's is the story of anger and hate, started as an innocent girl, and ignited from Joel's death, it builds only in anger and depression. Constantly affected by her Joel/Abby related PSTD, she has constant flashbacks to Joel's death/ has intense handshakes and she pushes everyone away and seeks only violence. Dina is her symbol of innocent and positivity, who Ellie grows more cold and distant to Dina as character regresses.

    False Rumors/Statements

    "There were papers in the first game that did say there were other immune children, or that the procedure would not 100% guaranteed"
    The first game has no such papers. This is a simple false rumor that is incredibly easy to prove.

    "Abby is trans. Male to Female, It's so obvious because she is so jacked"
    This is unbelievably wrong. She is just strong.

    Conclusion
    The game is great. However, if you were incredibly attached to Ellie and Joel, and honestly believed that the first last of us had a happy ending and that Joel's horrific actions were justified you may not like this game. That or if you're some moronic incel who can't play a decent game just because the MC is female    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was one of the best game from Naughty Dog I ever played in my life. The story is beautifully written and told, I mourned the loss of Joel, it made me emphatize when I didn't wanna to, with a Abby, whom I really disliked for a major chunk of the game. Then I understood, I second guessed the decision of Ellie, which I saw destroyed by the loss and hunger of blood. I just wanted her to stop and find peace with Dina, no more tears no more hurt.
    The game is well paced and it's a natural upgrade from the first one, which I loved too. Thanks Naughty Dog for this game. I really appreciated it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Whether you like this game or not is going to be completely subjective. Youre going to have to play it for yourself and see how it hits you. For me, it got me to feel so many things. I really thought I was going to hate the game. SPOILERS When you get to play as Abby, the game feels unbearably long, because of the tension in the theater you just left. All I could think of was getting back there to figure out what the hell happens. Plus you hate Abby. When they tried to get me to feel for her i wasnt biting. I did not care about her, or her past, or her relationships. She killed Joel. But I thank God they did draw it out, because that gave me the time I needed to humanize and forgive Abby. They got me so late in Abby's story. When I saw what she went through to help those Scars, I didnt see a villian anymore. I saw an actual person with a good heart. When her friend scolds her and tells her shes not a good person and Abby breaks down because she can't seem to forgive herself either. She wasnt happy with what she did but I think she was looking for peace just like Ellie was trying to do when she went back for Abby. The game made me go from this completely one-sided blind hatred, to compassion and wanting nothing but the best for her. I WRESTLED WITH MYSELF pushing the attack buttons on the final scene. That was unlike anything I have ever experienced, and though the pacing mightve been screwy to some, I could not imagine any other way to do it. The way it moved me up and down gets a Fat 10 outta 10. Gameplay super intense and fun too but I just wanted to talk about the story lol.… Expand

Independent of time, this game will make you feel what it is like to be a human being struggling to survive a (much more severe) pandemic, and does so without pandering to the age-old game narrative of "good" vs "bad. Towards the end, I felt like **** and wanted the game to end a few hours earlier. But I'm not even mad - IIn retrospect, I enjoyed the grueling last few hours.

    My only complaints are that the game mechanic of searching every corner of the level after killing everyone somewhat breaks the pace, and at times it is incredibly frustrating to be searching for a safe code and accidentally go past that level's point of no return, causing you to save before every door out of fear of having to redo the chapter. These both break the immersion, but not enough to remove more than 1 point from my score.

    There is also the occasional bug (e.g. reloading levels changes items, and sometimes I was shot into space or stuck in walls). No big deal.

    Do yourself a favor and play this game and explore the way you feel while doing it. Even if you are upset about certain beats in the story. It is only a story, and if you pay attention, it takes you to interesting places.    … Expand

    Deep, complex, emotional, intense, wonderful. First: Its a big mistake to compare with first game (if not played you miss a lot of the sequence). Second: If you expected a "zombie" game or a terror game, you will be disappointed. Observe the rating of specialized critics and the users, so different, and why? Because The Last of Us part II is not a game for all.

Desde mi punto de vista, es lamentable que un juego como este, que sorprende a nivel técnico, a nivel de narrativa, que rompe las reglas, porque da puntos de vista diferentes sobre un mismo hecho, como sucedería en la vida normal, mostrando que no hay negro o blanco, en general, hay grises, y de hecho, le guste a quien le guste, le dan al juego ese realismo que tanto aprecié, tenga la nota que tiene. Entiendo que Joel se merecía una muerte más "digna" podríamos decir, pero también entiendo que actuó casi como un padre, de hecho, el padre de Abby no puede responder cuando le preguntan que haría si fuera su hija la que había que sacrificar. Pero con Ellie si estaba dispuesto a sacrificarla. Es Abby mala? No, de hecho es una más bien buena persona. Son Joel y Ellie malos? Tampoco. Son gente que esta sobreviviendo, con sus cosas buenas y sus cosas malas. Todos. Podría resumirse en que el juego peca de realista, y eso a muchos no les gustó, pero bueno si quieren finales felices les recomiendo peliculas de Disney, la vida es diferente, y este juego me hizo sentir cosas que pocos habían logrado, como por ejemplo el metro exodus otro excelente juego. En fin, detesto las malas notas que le pusieron por puro hate sin jugarlo porque se pierden una joya. Y al que no le gusto en serio, realmente creo que, o no entendio el concepto, o es de los que quieren finales felices a toda costa que bueno, tampoco esta mal. Para mi, sin duda alguna, de lo mejor de la generacion. Un 10 merecidisimo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 give us a new story in the same universe and with some of the same main characters of the first game. It also have a good amount of new ones. The main motivation for this story is a direct consequence of the events that happened on the first TLoU.

    The game play follow much of the first game adding some new movements (as crawl and rope climbing/swinging/jumping) and some new mechanics (as the rope mechanic). Ellie's knife is unbreakable (witch turn things a little bit easier) and the improvements ah more-or-less in a "skill tree" arrangement.

    [SPOILERS AHEAD]

    - About Main Story:

    The mains story is well designed and you can really relate with Ellie's feelings.
    The begging of the game makes us feel the same hate that Ellie feels, as we love Joel as much as she (because of the first game). So you can relate with his anger and the pursuit for revenge.

    As the player advances through game you see a couple of flashbacks that explains the relationship between Joel and Ellie after the ending of the first game. Here are some of the most beautiful scenes of game (maybe both games), like the museum one.

    At the end you will be just like Ellie: hollow. This isn't a game that makes you happy or gives you the satisfaction of the obvious and comfortable ending.

    - About "The Other Side" of Story:

    The other protagonist (or antagonist as you wish), Abby, has strong motivations for her actions and the game tries to show you that.
    Is it really hard to relate and have empathy for her since we had a entire game to learn to love Ellie. Is it really painful to play with Abby after seeing what she done and is specially painful to play with her at the final battle of her campaign.

    There are some characters the are underdeveloped, like the WLF leader , Isaac. I'd love to know a little bit more of his story, but it is understandable that when writing a story you have to make some choices as not every character can have the same "screen time".

    - Footnotes:

    The only thing the really made me disappointed was the lacking of a multiplayer mode. I'd really love to have a multiplayer mode like in the first game. But this was no surprise as Naughty Dog had has already told us that there was not going to be one.

    PS.:
    To the ones that are afraid because the haters speech, the game is great. The story is great. The sexuality of Ellie is just another layer of her personality witch helps to make her feel real (and isn't the main point of the game at all). This is a story about hate and revenge and it accomplishes it's purpose.    … Expand

    I cannot believe all the hate this game is getting, I have been playing video games all the way back to the original Atari console. The Last of Us Part 2 outshines every game that I have played, from the masterful story telling to the amazing graphics. The haters just need to STOP!

    Masterpiece, conflicting and unafraid to do something out of the ordinary. A true watershed moment in gaming.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a gut wrenching masterpiece. Don't bother with the review bombers who've never even touched the game. Play the game to make up your own mind and come to your own conclusion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get into it, I have played the game and have finished it. So I have put in the however many hours it took to get it done. This is an outstanding game and it is some of the best writing for a video game you are going to experience. There is one caveat to my time with it. I am new to the Last of Us franchise, so I did not have the experience of "waiting years for this." I played through part 1 and then immediately dove into part 2, so it is certainly possible that improved my experience. There are some plot holes and some character's behave in ways that are very inconsistent. These things did not detract from my experience at all.

    Yes, the game's heroine is a lesbian, GASP! And there are female/female love making scenes, GASP! For the trolls that have highlighted this as the main problem, SMH.

    Yes, Joel dies very early on in the game. I know this has been a major bone of contention for many. And, as you work through the game, it turns out, Abby was probably more justified in killing him than Ellie is in avenging him. Dude killed Abby's Dad. Come on people. Ellie also finds out that Joel was completely lying to her, in a major way.

    I am glad to see the gamer ratings going up for this game. It shows that people are actually working through it and figuring out the trolls are trolls. Hopefully one of the trolls has also actually played it and discovered the errors of their ways. Somehow I doubt that though.

    As for the game play, it's not perfect and the main reason I am not going with a 10 rating. Many have called the game play, "clunky" and I think this is a good description for it. The game is also close combat heavy. Which is fine, and I would have appreciated more opportunity for long distance sniping. I was disappointed that you don't get access to a silenced long gun until the last 2 hours or so of the game.

    All this being said, I really enjoyed playing The Last of Us, Part 2 and I cannot wait until the end of the trilogy on the PS5 ... If part 2 looked this good, damn, just wait for 3 ..    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very few times will a game make me openly cry. This one made me do so multiple times. The gameplay (while the difficulty ratings were slightly sandbagged) felt smooth and innovative, and well utilized the presence of two unique playable characters. Playing as Abby, I expected to be playing a reskinned Ellie, but she really did feel like a unique character in the way you approach situations. Story wise, I don't know that I've ever felt such pain and heartbreak for a set of characters. By the final scenes, I really just wanted everyone to walk away and go home or go on with their lives, even though I knew that couldn't be the way it ended. Excellent work by everyone on the team, and an excellent game. Just make sure you are in the right headspace for it… Expand

    Fantastic game, not sure why people have downgraded it so much. The brutality of the game tops off from the first game from early stages and just gets worse throughout the game but following the story through it is definitely worth it.

    Gameplay is fantastic, animation is beautiful, story will rip your freaking heart out. It's extremely dark but I loved it, just finished my second playthrough and once I emotionally recover again I'm going to go in for my third.

    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]
