    Ignore the people blinded by rage. I had my doubts before the game released but Naughty Dog has outdone themselves. It’s probably the most cinematic game I’ve ever played (in a good way).

    This game is very good.
    I am 40 year old gamer, been gaming since the late 1980'es. I think this game is made for older gamers, who have some life experience, have a family, wife and kids. It is so much easier to relate to the feelings love, trust and relationships when you are a little older and more mature. Also we understand the reference from the 1990.

    I like the story, is much more then revenge, its about humanity, empathy relationship, love, hate, losing loved ones, and much more.
    Graphics are beautiful maybe the best ever on PS4? the small details are so good, the way they characters express feelings are just amazing, and the world is also beautiful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game does not deserve a score below 5, I'd like to see anyone try to game with great mechanics and graphics.
    The game went in a direction that not many stories would go towards, not everything is fairytale. Although I despised Abby for killing Joel as I really wanted to play as Joel, this game showed brilliantly that the so called "bad guys" of each story are not always never justified even if it is less artistic than the way the movie Joker was portrayed.
    The stunning environment and graphics should mean that the game deserves atleast a 4 even if the story is pretty mediocre, rating it a 0 is just plain insulting (hence why I gave this game a 10).

    In summary: not every story should be overcome the villain because they are just plain wrong, when in reality you are fighting your own demons even when that villain shows compassion (which is a rare feat).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game. The whole story shows how violence begets violence and ultimately leads to more personal suffering. I was a huge fan of the 1st game and think this is just as good in another way. I went into Part 2 absolutely appalled that I'd have to play as Abbey after seeing her torture and kill Joel. I couldn't imagine ever empathizing with her, but her flashbacks and the little interactions she has with all her friends (playing fetch with Alice hurt knowing I had to kill that puppy as Ellie) really humanized her for me.

    By getting to play as both Ellie and Abbey, the game offers opposing perspectives that really capture the gravity of the choices each of those two main characters makes and the consequences that follow from those choices. Basically, I loved this game and highly recommend it.    … Expand

    The game took risks, some payed off, some didn't. Despite this it told an emotionally driven story, that makes you question your own previous feeling and thoughts about certain situations and characters. Something of a rarity in video game media.

It is a refined version of the first game and that's absolutely okay. If ever they were to do a third game this sequel sets that up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the exact game I've been looking forward too. Back in 2016 when the first trailer dropped me and a buddy predicted that this game would show us the consequences of Joel taking down the fireflies - and that's what we got here. The gameplay is similar to the original, the score is phenomenal, the characters go through hell and back. They made some bold writing choices, and sadly a lot of people weren't on board with it, seemingly due to leaks mostly. The leaks are a bit off, they don't fully explain the experience of this game. And to the people just watching "Lets Plays" that doesn't really give you the proper experience either. To me this is one of the best games I've played, with the only detractor being some minor pacing issues. Otherwise its an easy 10 for me, waited 7 long years for this and was not disappointed.… Expand

    The second part of the game is more of a rushed one so the characters were not that emotionally attached that's why the climax didn't feel like as it was intended by the developer.

    I can't say I enjoyed every minute of this game, but I did want to play every minute of it. I have never played a game that led me through so many contrasting emotions. There were moments I really loved and moments I truly hated. I was uncomfortable, I cried, I hated Naughty dog, I laughed, I was tired of it, I was genuinely touched, I felt dismissive... I could list a lot more. Two daysI can't say I enjoyed every minute of this game, but I did want to play every minute of it.

I was uncomfortable, I cried, I hated Naughty dog, I laughed, I was tired of it, I was genuinely touched, I felt dismissive... I could list a lot more. Two days after finishing it and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. The only thing I am sure of is that I've never thought about a game as much as I have thought about this one.

    Game play wise, it is solid. I played on moderate and felt it was a little more forgiving than the first game when it came to resources, but the areas are larger and there is a lot more to discover and explore. I had some truly wild surviving 'by the seat of your pants' spells in the game, expending my resources and going hail Mary to survive which was incredibly satisfying and adrenaline filled.

    The game is a lot more open that TLOU, there are some large expansive areas which can be explored or ignored, which in my eyes is something of a double edged sword. There is so much to be discovered in the optional areas, sweet, funny, touching, bleak and harrowing world building moments that really add to the game, but could be easily missed. If you’re playing just for the main narrative, and head for that next 'checkpoint' at every opportunity, there is a huge amount to be missed.

    There is no other game like this. You are forced into situations that you do not want to be in, you are forced to do things that you do on want to do. You do not get a choice how these characters behave, you are pulled through a story against your will and forced to contemplate who these characters really are.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played all through TLOU2 and I genuinely liked it a lot. Its not as fresh or new as the originals, so I already feel like it has that part going against it, but overall as an experience I enjoyed it, and I found the differences between Abby and Ellie interesting.

    I still think that if anyone hadn't seen the spoilers and didn't have their opinions of the game warped by the "rational anti-sjw" YouTubers, it would easily be better received and people would actually think for themselves. Even if some ideas of representation came off repulsive to people who get that upset by that kind of stuff, I believe it would be easier to brush off for that crowd. I personally liked Ellie's relationship with Dina, even if I feel Dina lacked some background in some areas, but what I found to like about her was that Ellie, even with all the **** shes gone through, had someone that she could love and be comforted by who accepted her for who she was, and I genuinely found that endearing.What I liked about Abby was that she was essentially a representation of what Ellie COULD have become. She got her revenge, and when she was given the chance to back down from Ellie and spare Dina, she did, even after all the **** that Ellie had gone through. In the end I actually believe Abby went through even WORSE circumstances than Ellie did, yet she decided to move forward and not be consumed by hate anymore, while Ellie couldn't even live with herself anymore and her entire identity became engulfed in rage and hatred, letting it get the best of her and her friends.

    The game was clearly trying something different here that isn't normally done in story driven games, and while I was strongly opposed to playing a different side of the story, I grew to empathize with Abby and appreciate her arc as a character, and see how contrasted with Ellie. They're both different sides of the same coin. Both characters basically broke even, yet both processed their tragedies differently. Given that the theme of TLOU2 is "hate", I would say it does an excellent job of portraying it. Instead of Ellie choosing to move on, she chose to seek revenge. Instead of choosing to be happy, she chose to let the anger consume her, leaving her with nearly nothing left, but the smoldering ruins of her life. I wished the best for Ellie as well, and I can see how people are disappointed in the ending sequence, but I honestly was fond of the message it was trying to promote. Revenge sounds like a sweet prize in videogames, but in this scenario that tries to mimic reality, it is a often a hollow victory .

    Id have to give the game an 8/10. It's trying something different that falls short in some aspects, but I respect what its doing and in many ways succeeds at it. People who are giving this game 3's and below while pretending to be "honestly giving their opinion" are just trying to veil their short sighted anger, while having the entire experience already ruined for them because some "anti-PC redpilled" youtuber told them that you're an idiot for liking this game. Almost no triple A games deserve ratings as low as a 3, and ESPECIALLY a game as polished as TLOU2. Even if the games story was as **** **** as people claim it to be, it would still deserve a MINIMUM of a 6 out of 10 for the level of detail and fidelity it has poured into it.

    I cant convince anyone otherwise of how to view the game because it feels that anyone who even browses YouTube has had their perception so monumentally **** up to the point that there is no discussion to be had. They just see the game's leaks where you see everything completely unexecuted and left to the imagination, and then hear about it from someone online who wants to call it "SJW trash" and it will immediately be subject to the worst possible lens of skepticism and reviews. If everyone in this game were a bunch of straight white dudes, nobody would give a **** and maybe the only thing that people would criticize was that the story goes a bit too long.

    8/10 for me, and to someone who dislikes the game, a 6/10 MINIMUM under any circumstance.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When the game started I felt an instant nostalgic feeling which made me quite happy. Although, I don't like how the game has forced irrelevant political views in the story, and there was no multiplayer provided like it's predecessor had. I have not yet finished the game but I'm greatly enjoying it at the moment, the section of the game where you play as Abby feels like a chore, but overall would recommend it to anyone that enjoyed the first game,feels really similar.

    EDIT: Just completed the game and the emotions are overwhelming, for a game we've all been waiting for 10 years it did exceptionally well, takes me a lot to tear up, and the ending did that. I can't stop thinking about the final scene of the games and Abby's survival, does this leave it open for a third game? Or maybe a cheeky DLC? Thanks naughty dog, I had my doubts, but it really lives up to the first game, which was a work of art.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed my play through of this game. It’s darker than the first, but I feel the creators do a fair job of portraying Ellie’s continued development in a harsh world. I like that she seems affected by the choices she makes in a way that game creators often gloss over. And although I don’t always find myself agreeing with her choices - in fact there are moments where I was opposed to her decision-making - I understand why she does what she does, and I like being challenged as a player to play as a character that isn’t acting like a cut-and-dry “good guy” from jump.
    I also really appreciate the introduction of the character of Abby, who serves as sort of a foil to Ellie as the game progresses. It’s not a light game by any means, but I think it’s a good exploration of how cyclical revenge can be and its long-term ramifications. If you’re in it to dive into a story, then it’s the game for you. If you’re strictly looking to have fun from a mechanical standpoint, you’ll probably enjoy playing a different shooter more.    … Expand

    The characters' decisions and motivation are well justified. The story poses one of the most debated philosophical questions, "Would you sacrifice fewer human souls to save many other souls?" This not good against evil. This is two good sides acting from different perspectives. You cannot choose a side because both are right in their own way. Therefore the ending is difficult to predict. The ending was perfect by the way.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the last couple of days now I have been reading through hundreds and hundreds of mind numbing and brainless comments from people who couldn't see the point if it stabbed them.. The Last Of Us Part 2 has been getting absolutely torn apart by players saying anything from "it is horrible and lazy storytelling" to "Naughty Dog have completely destroyed the games franchise and betrayed fans.. Just because Joel dies?..

    Well at least, I've seen proof of dozens and dozens of people that got to that scene and stopped playing due to hysterical emotion only to start blindly slandering it in every way..

    Yes, it is quite a gut wrenching scene for a video game and I don't mean graphically, (although it's up there for that reason too)
    I mean because of the connection with Joel from the first game being so strong that it literally wrenches your stomach.. But for a lot of people who don't think that Joel dying outright ruined it, it's about the way he dies being so unmagnanimous in nature that it doesn't, or just can't make any sense to them..

    This is incredibly narrow minded, and if your argument is that he didn't deserve it, then you need to take a few marshmallows out from in front of your eyes and witness reality, he didn't deserve it, but things that aren't good happen..

    The voice of Joel himself, Troy Baker said something like this, and I'm paraphrasing quite freely but the point remains the same.. He said; People need to allow themselves to enjoy Joel and Ellie' stories and not the story they want..

    Which I think is perfect for summing up the exact opposite of how almost everyone has reacted to this game, just get upset at how it didn't go the way they think it should have and say its a piece of garbage regardless of anything else or the fact that it's brilliant.. "IMO"

    Okay so Joel gets his head bashed in with a golf club, and it's by this **** named Abby that, for a fairly long time playing, no one knows who is but it's clear she has some kind of problem with Joel, and that's the main reason for all the hate.. Clearly this gets explained as the game goes on, however..

    People are saying, mostly, that he shouldn't have been in such a stupid position as getting surrounded by strangers and then giving his name, which prompts Abby to blow his knee out with a shotgun before going to town..

    But at that point, it had been 25 years since the outbreak began and his daughter was killed, 4 years since "saving" Ellie, and two years since he had to tell Ellie the truth about other people with immunity being a lie and what had really happened that night at the hospital..

    That being said at the beginning of Part 2 Joel is very obviously a different man, he is weaker, because he is older, has been through so much and also due to the fact that he and Ellie had grown apart over Joel's decision 4 years ago, and she now resents him for what he did...

    On top of all that, it is perfectly understandable, and humanly acceptable that Joel and Tommy had grown a little careless or more trusting of strangers in need of help after living in Jackson comparatively comfortably to the previous 20 years of the outbreak...

    Meaning they simply let their guard down, especially forgivable seeing as they were in the middle of a worsening snow storm that would have killed them all, so they acted quickly and on what was now, weakened instinct..

    Playing as Abby is copping ridiculous hate as well, I think it's amazing storytelling the way it goes in and out of time periods and shows exactly what was happening with Abby at the time of Joel "saving" Ellie as well as the events of Seattle days 1-3, and it all reveals crucial information which, in case anybody didn't notice, is all explanation as to why this games story goes the way it does.. In conclusion, the game is not hindered by poor or lazy writing, that's why it has the professional critic score that it has, because it's amazingly good.. Retrospectively that is also why THEY are the critics and everyone else just posts their dumbass opinions on the internet without a shred of insight to them..

    What this game is hindered by, is a shockingly large lack of people able to make use of critical thinking and enjoy something for what it is rather than whinge because its not what they wanted.. Spoiled Little Gamer Syndrome.. Peace..    … Expand

    Тем, кто боится темы ЛГБТ: здесь она почти не затрагивается, а в те редкие моменты, когда затрагивается, все очень мило, что дает вам лучик света в мрачном мире игры.

    Геймплей хорош, Naughty Dog явно прыгнули выше своей головы, но, учтите, играть надо на двух последних уровнях сложности, чтоб ощутить все его прелести.

    Графическая составляющая как памятник ps4. Да, не без даунгрейда относительно геймплейных трейлеров с е3, но все еще потрясающе.

    Проработка мелочей, как графических, так и сюжетных, на высоком уровне.

    Актеры бесподобны, озвучка бесподобна (на языке оригинала естественно - sony russia, хватит кормить нас дерьмом).

    Сюжет. Краеугольный камень этой игры. Вам не понравится. Но в конце, если у вас есть голова и умение анализировать, если вы прочли хотя бы несколько серьезных произведений в своей жизни, вы смиритесь с ним и поймете его. Восприятие сравнимо с чтением Достоевского - сложно, со скрипом и с постоянным вопросом внутри головы "А должен ли я сопереживать персонажу?". Именно из за этого вам не понравится, ведь вы, очевидно, как и я, привязаны к Джоэлу и Элли еще со времен первой части. Поэтому вторая половина игры ой как не легко вам дастся. И, да, из за багажа первой части вторая половина игры будет казаться сухой. Уверен, Naughty Dog могли бы лучше прописать вторую половину, но тогда бы повествование растянулось еще часов на 10, что было бы перебором для игры не укладывающейся в понятие открытого мира.

    И все же, оно того стоило.

    Закончить хотелось бы цитатой из игры:

    Jaw dropping graphics. Amazing level/set design. Cinema quality lighting. Fantastic character modelling and animation, very few uncanny valley moments. A showcase of what Naughty Dog is capable of doing at a hardware platforms end-of-life.

    Sound design and music is top notch. The music – as well as being beautiful – is a masterclass in acoustic instrument recording. Sound effects and ambient sounds are nothing but perfect.

    The acting is at the highest level, much due to excellent dialog written by Gross and Druckmann.

    The mediocre:
    Gameplay mechanics are a little janky sometimes and can feel dated and repetitive. Sneaking is implemented nicely, but you will undoubtably become frustrated by the limited situational awareness caused by tight FoV combined with slow head movement. Shooting mechanics are OK, and is of typical Naughty Dog style – alright for those only playing on console, and at times infuriating for those who mostly play on PC.

    The story – there's no denying it. It's sub par. People give it 0/10 because of one single event early in the game, as if they have ownership of the characters, or perhaps a sense of being co-creators since the played the first game. This is called entitlement, and is a real problem in todays society. You have to remember that you are a viewer of another persons creative vision. You where not a part of making the game – you are the audience. That being said; The Last of Us Part 2 has a very strange story. A typical hollywoodesque revenge story with the same old tropes and cliches. All set in a well known nihilistic post apocalypse that seems inevitable for every American writer. Humanity is reduced to a psychopathic lizard brain that can only torture and kill. The Last of Us part 1 managed to tell a fresh story in this standard post apocalyptic setting – a story that resonated emotionally, and managed to hold on to humanity by its last thread. The Last of Us part 2 on the other hand is just a revolving door of hatred and despair. Perhaps it was meant as a study of what would happen if you grew up in such an environment. But it falls through. The main issue with it is that it fails to be believable. It fails to be relatable.

    The bad:
    At the end the game fails to resonate emotionally.
    It will leave you empty. It will not leave you with questions, it will not leave you in awe like the first game. It will not open up discussions around anything. It will not provide deeper meaning or the chance of interpretation. Theres nothing to analyse. The story and character developments come across as a juvenile, with a high schoolers knowledge of psychology and philosophy. The gameplay has too much focus on loot. vacuuming every corner and every shelf spamming triangle whilst being 30cm away from the wall takes away from being able to enjoy the larger world.    … Expand

    The story had its ups and downs. I don’t mean in the writing, I mean in how I felt. I think it was done on purpose. I hated certain moments of this game. Particularly towards the middle and end. But as it went on, I became attached and understood the reason behind why I am playing. The game makes it seem like it is a story of revenge, and for parts of it, it is. But that is not the major theme. It branches out and does things that many of us did not want to happen. It pushed the limit on storytelling. It went against the grain of what people most likely wanted. It definitely isn't what I wanted or expected, but I really enjoyed all of it. I just had to finish the game and sit on it for a night before I took the time to write about it.    … Expand

    I actually played the game, unlike most who have review bombed this game. It's absolutely incredible. Every minute of it is tense, heart wrenching or just goddamn fun.

It's also a game you don't get to play idle, you need to be focused on it or you miss out some key things that characters say outside of cutscenes. This isn't a "silly revenge story", it's a story on how opposing sides with similar motives can forgive, and that revenge isn't actually the answer. 10/10 on everything, play this damn game, or you're missing out… Expand

Un juego con jugabilidad excelente que hace hace pensar "como escapare yo de esta situación" con una historia que te atrapa al principio sin embargo es difícil de tragar y desearías que fuera canón, ningún personaje termina con un final feliz sin embargo esto es solo en el final del juego, disfruta de este juego desde el principio hasta casi el final sin pensar demasiado en la muerte de ese "personaje" PDD a mi me encanto el juego intentando que la historia no me afecte demasiado.… Expand

    INCRÍVEL, um jogo que deve ser jogado por todos, apesar da história não ser oque a maioria dos fãs queriam, é um jogo que deve ser jogado, gameplay realista, gráficos muito bonitos, trilha sonora impecável, the last of us part 2 não é sobre personagens e sim sobre pessoas, e um mundo devastado não só por uma doença mas sim pelo ódio.

    A great game! Yes the story is very different but thats good. I don't need everything to have a happy ending in life like a Disney Movie. Real life is also not fair and cruel.
    I think they made a great Job.

    Perfect game, if you didn't like the plot of the game, ok!
    But you can't give it a 0 because of that.
    It has the best character and level design of all times.
    Naughty dog must be proud of their work, it's perfect.

    One of the best stories of all time. Never does a game manage to impact on your emotions as heavily as TLOU2, whether good or bad, undoubtedly this game has impacted many people deeply. Round it off with stunning visuals, top class sound design and upgraded gameplay and you’ve got one of the best games of all time.

    All the hating on this game is ridiculous. Fair enough if it's not your thing but to call this game bad is just a childish response to not getting the story you wanted.

    The only reason I gave an 9 is because I played just first 5 hours of the game otherwise probably I will give a 10. So far is a great game from my perspective, I don’t care about any LGBT **** in the game, I just enjoy the game and period. Beautiful looking and a good story with twists and turns ! Good one Naughty Dog !!!

    TLOU2 is one of the best written games of our generation it’s oriented for a very mature Audience and takes on a lot of modern political issues without been In your face or rude about it.

It's not the type of game to rush through, you have to take it slowly and experience the amazing graphics and surroundings you are in. If you have never played this game then you have no idea what you are talking about. It's a game to play, to experience and to love from beginning middle and end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand some of the complaints people have with the story but it doesn't deserve the level of hate it's getting, if you give this game a rating lower than 7 that is crazy for me but to each their own. This is a great game in every aspect, loved the gameplay, obviously the graphics and the art design are amazing, the music is perfect and the storytelling is so good it made me feel all kind of emotions and the story makes perfect sense after the event that happened at the end of the first one. The characters are great and complex, i loved Ellie and, after killing Joel i didn't think i would say this but, i loved Abby too and they made me feel for her and understand her motivation.
    The only complaint i have is that the ending is too depressing i would have preferred a more bittersweet ending, showing Ellie reuniting with Dina and JJ, and even tough i liked the last flashback it left me wanting more, like maybe having them play guitar together one last time would have been perfect. So that is why is not a 10/10 for me but it was really close to it and maybe after experiencing the story a second time knowing what happens it could get there.
    I am happy that i was able to experience this game. When i replay the first game killing the doctor at the end is going to feel so different.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
