    I'm writing this review in hopes the games gets the praise it deserves.
    Graphics are phenomenal, the best of the best on the current gen, the attention to detail, the lighting, the shading, the effects, e v e r y t h i n g.
    Music fits perfectly with everything, the sound is also really realistic and well made.

    Where people seem to have an issue with is how the story is tailored, people were expecting good old Ellie and Joel adventure, and the game would've been just fine had they done it this way, but Naughty Dog chose the uncommon way, taking a lot of risks and, in my opinion, succeeding at it.
    Naughty Dog picks the story 4 years after the first one in a setting where everything seems to be fine, playing the guitar with joel etc.
    They introduce us to another character - Abby - which is majorly the reason people are despising this game.
    Abby kills Joel and that fact alone pushed a lot of people away, people reviewing the game by playing only about 3h of a 30+hour game
    After the death of joel the people who kept playing experienced the violent and gorish side of Ellie, and her pursuit to kill Abby, but, at some point Abby has the upper hand on Ellie and the developers leave you on a huge cliffhanger "is Ellie dead??" and right then an there you enter a 10hour long Abby side of the story, this reeeeally threw people off, why would you want to play as the person who killed you beloved joel? And even in my case i didn't want to play as her, all i wanted was Ellie and more Ellie and moments of her and Joel and violence and her killing Abby, BUT at some point you gain empathy with Abby, you understand her side, the whole story of her and the "scars" children is one of the more rich aspects of the whole last of us story.
    After the whole Abby arc you get back to where Abby confronted Ellie and this part is like Naughty Dog is just completely playing with the heart of the player, you get put in a position like no other where you have to sneak up on Ellie and just destroy her with punches about 3 times, this scene alone invokes feeling I have NEVER felt in a videogame before "i dont wanna do this WTF??" but at the same you know the things Abby has gone through because of Joel and Ellie's decisions. At the end Abby leaves Ellie alone and we get a time skip to Ellie living in a perfect setting with DIna, the "happy ending" right? Hell no, Naughty Dog is not done, they push it further, Ellie leaves the house at some point against Dina's request to stay by her side with the baby. We enter the final arc, Ellie pursues Abby to the place she and the "scar" kid were kidnapped to.
    The moment they meet again Abby is just DONE, skinny-short-haired abby doesn't even care about anything other than getting away with the kid. Ellie has a flashback of her murdering joel and they begin the final confrontation, but ellie has another flashback of joel playing the guitar and that triggers a thought of caring for someone, Abby caring for this kid like joel cared for Ellie, and then they go their separate ways.
    The game ends with Ellie getting to her "perfect" home again but it is empty besides her stuff, she picks up the guitar and starts playing the song that Joel taught her in the beginning of the game but it sounds a bit off due to the two bitten of fingers. She then leaves the home like some kind of open ending "where will she go and what will happen now?".

    Last of Us II is by no means a perfect game, i think the story could've been tailored just a bit differently and the gameplay could've been more innovative, but that doesn't mean it is not a amazing, like the first game you still feel the same emotions, but they added a lot more and gave steroids to every each one of it.

    The Last of Us II is a game that will be remembered forever, many many people don't like getting played with their emotions this way, but if you open your mind and get past through that uncomfortableness you SEE the amazing game it is, you understand the choices of the developers and you get something like no other game does.

    I enjoyed the Game very much. The Story isn‘t meant to be satisfying, I get that much. It hurts at times. Yeah you hate some characters but thats Part of Every story. At least in the end it was an experience. Cant hate a Game for that. And all the gamers who consider themselves betrayed should just let it be and focus on bashing the next game.

    I loved every second of this game. I actually laugh at the number of bad reviews by people who clearly didn’t play the full game, or at all.

They did a good job at making you sympathize with Abby, by the end I was hoping she would survive, even though my anger towards her was prominent. The ending was extremely dark and depressing, so hoping it is a set up for a third game. To give fans a better end to the story. Overall its a great game, the story is way better than people give it credit for, very deep, emotional, and sad. Its 100% worth playing, but you may not want to experience it a second time around. Still one of the best games ever made. Naughty Dog does it again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For haters...The only reason people are so in love with Ellie and Joel is because we were forced to become emotionally attached to them in the first game. Imagine if in Part 1 we were playing Abby and her father. The object of the game was to survive and create a cure. You spend hours getting to know them and seeing the love between father and daughter. Then, OMG you find out there's a girl who's immune and that may be your only hope of saving everybody. But there's a cost, extract what you need from her brain will kill her. Moral dilemma...you ultimately decide the needs of the many out way the needs of the few...or the ONE. Abby and her father fought through unspeakable horrors to make it to the hospital and they have the girl. They have no idea who Joel is, then right before you're about to perform the surgery a guy busts in and murders you. Abby later sees her beloved father, savior of humanity, brutally murdered by some monster. HOW DOES PART II LOOK NOW?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game seems to me that the graphics and the physics are impressive although ... in the story there are very important things that do not make sense.
    In the first part, I loved playing it (Ellie part) but in the Abby part I found it too boring and pointless because whoever wanted to play with the person who killed a character as dear as Joel and is practically half the game apart .

    Leaving aside the end and the part of abby I think it would be an excellent 10/10 game, but the story had very good potential and it could have been the whole game entertaining and fun.
    This game does not deserve all the hate it receives because it is a game with excellent graphics and very good physics.

    Last of us 2 has 46 chapters and you can really feel the length but you kinda need the length because the game really is an EPIC.

    Like I said before this is a lonnnnnnnnnnnnngggg game and the pacing is a bit of a mess compared to the first game which was tight and to the point and in my opinion perfect. Overall I loved the last of us 2 despite its flaws. It’s not as perfect as the first game but it’s definitely a worthy sequel. The Last Of Us series proves that games are truly a beautiful art form.

The gameplay is amazing, better than the first one. You can easily go from sneaking your way around like Sam Fisher to beating everyone up like Kratos and it all flows together perfectly. Story (no spoiler here) is great too, very unconventional but great. Same goes for character development. The vast majority of people who complain about those too points either 1- didn't play the game and based their opinion on the leaks, 2-didn't finish the game and got mad at some point or 3- didn't understand it. everything in the story happens for a reason and everything any character does is justifiable and explained. NO character is "out of character" in this game.. except maybe for one thing near the end (not gonna say more because I want this to be spoiler free). Now is the game perfect, no, to me it's probably worth a solid 8.5 or 9 out of 10.. I give it a 10 to make my part in countering the tens of thousand of trolls and review bombers who gave it a 0/10 without even having played it and those who played it and again give it a 0/10 because they didn't like the story (which as I said, is objectively well written but just very controversial. It is meant to make the player feel angry and sad, it succeeded and those who can't handle it give it a 0). Remember, the vast majority of those who gave it a 0/10 made their review on the day of the release, considering the game takes around 25h to complete, it should be a good hint that they're just angry trolls.… Expand

Gameplay has been tweaked and is a fun loop of explore-scavenge-craft-combat that improves on the 1st game with subtle but much needed changes.

    Story wise, this is a game that asks you to understand multiple view points and to empathise with even your worst enemy. The mature themes on display here ask you to look deeper than simply your attachment to the 1st games characters. You will be forced to confront loss, anger and a need for retribution but then come out the other side to see the bigger picture that 'narratively speaking' tests your ability to empathize with a fellow human being and your compassion. And yes the game is quite dark in narrative but like the first game there is always a glimmer of hope throughout given by those surrounding you during your journey.

    The ending will leave you thinking. But I felt a sense of satisfaction that this story has come full circle and made sense in the grander scheme of things. It's not a fairytale ending by any means. But if you played through this game and expected a happy ending then you missed the point of your characters journey.

    I highly recommend The Last of Us 2 to mature minded gamers who want to play a game that presents a gritty experience with it's confronting themes and narrative. If your someone who will take offence to a story not providing you with constant positive feedback then your not going to have a good time here. But I have no issue giving this game my strongest of recommendations. Thank you Naughty Dog & all the actors/actresses, the world you created is just a stunning achievement. BRAVO!!    … Expand

It made me love the story more than every game I've ever played. The unsatisfying moments were just another layer in this roller-coaster of emotions I had to suffer through. I didn't watch any spoilers and barely an trailers beforehand. If first game would have been spoiled, it would've impacted the reviews as well, because the ending of part 1 made everything feel pointless too, but I loved it. This game had the same effect on me.

    I have to say that many moments in this game makes you angry or sad because it may not turn out the way you want it, but that's life and you also cannot control the plot of a good movie!

    And if you wrote a bad review because u did not like that Ellie is homosexual and something else that I'm not gonna say because of possible spoiler, than you are just a sexist idiot.. These topics are really relevant in real life and I think that it makes the game even a bit more realistic.

    For me definitely a candidate to be the Game of the Year!

    This is a far more daring, complex and interesting story than the first. It requires an open mind from the player throughout, which obviously a large portion of the gaming community don’t have. Without spoiling anything, the game does narratively which I’ve personally never seen in a game, and questions your own actions as a player.

Fantastic gameplay, real moral conflict, obviously stunning visuals, and most of all an under-appreciated narrative.

Then that moment came and I felt so many emotions i may have even had tears in my eyes?! How did it make me feel.... I didn’t review bomb the game.
    I didn’t cut my discs in half and post it online.
    I didn’t throw my toys out the pram and tell everyone else not to play.

    I acted like an adult and carried on charged up on all sorts of emotions hell bent on revenge wanting to blast through anyone and anything to avenge Joel...

    This game truly is a masterpiece... of storytelling of design and you can see the love and care that has been poured into every heart breaking attention to detail.

Level design and setting are breathtakingly rendered and create tones that match the story beats. Despite others' negative story reviews, I loved it--the narrative takes chances and risks reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid 2 that challenge the player to become emotionally connected and reactive to the characters (old and new) and their decisions. While some players may wish for "canned," one-dimensional characters who make predictable moves, the story asks takes on the cyclical cycle of revenge by asking the player to participate in all sides.… 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.
