    I loved the game. Not quite as good of a story as the first, but good nonetheless. Gameplay and graphics are phenomenal. Great soundtrack as well.

    Yes! It was hard to accept joels faith, to be honest hated the way ND treated him... BUT, i respect what they tried to do here... Could it be better?? Yes for sure, but i cant deny this is a hell of a achievement in the game industry. Hate not to give it a 10, but thats my way of honoring Ellie and joel.

    Naughty Dog have taken incredible risks in story telling that may seem upsetting at first, but by the conclusion of the game you will come to understand their decisions. This is accompanied by some of the greatest gameplay in recent years.

    I went into this game with a really open mind.....and man what a game. Even though hard to play at times due to it’s themes, it’s equally as beautiful due to the amazing environments you come across and varied characters . The characters in this game are amazing. Every single one of them. I loved every second of this game.

    A polished and thought provoking experience! Controversial plot-writing - choices that didn’t necessarily make me a happy survivor, but I can respect a morally ambiguous narrative. I appreciate the creative team’s risk-taking with such a big budget project. Absolutely worth playing!

The complex themes, characters and world presented stick with you long after you put the controller down and I couldn’t not compare what I felt and seen while playing to real world events and people. There definitely isn’t one single message in the game but the cycle of violence and how trauma affects the mind and body really stood out for me. The story feels more stretched out compared to the first game but in a good way, although some parts during the second half could have been shorter and the prologue could have been a bit longer (what in my opinion would benefit the overall pacing of the game). The gameplay develops almost in every way compared to the first game, it’s more dynamic and realistic than ever, what serves the story during times making the player feel disgusted by his or her own actions during gameplay what ultimately makes him/her feel more empathy towards your enemies when you kill their friends or loved ones (even their dogs). In the graphical standpoint, I couldn’t state enough how beautiful this post-apocalyptic world is. The sound design, music and representation aspect of the game also deserve a shout out.… Expand

AND THAT'S WHY IT IS AWE INSPIRING. To explain the rage I feel towards the people who hated this game and bashed its creators, but loved the first one, I would need to crash the Google Servers. Instead I'll say- enjoy your opinions guys, all I know is it's hard AF to make stuff like this and (in my eyes) Naughty Dog and Neil specifically have succeeded in creating an amazing sequel. Throughout the story there are so many ups and downs, so many times the story doesn't go the way you want it to go, so many times I stopped the game put down the controller and walked around venting about what I'd seen and what I'd 'done' and what was going to happen. AND DON'T THINK THAT'S DONE UNINTENTIONALLY. You are meant to feel an inevitability. You are meant to not be happy and depressed about this game. THAT'S WHY IT'S AMAZING- IT'S RAW AND TRUE. AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY DONE WITH LOVE, SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE CHARACTERS, THE STORY AND THE WORLD. Those are humans I saw on the screen, even if I know it's actually Ashley doing Ellie's voice in a funny costume, I believe more of the existence of Ellie than of Ashley, because I know Ellie, Joel, Tommy, Abby, Dina, hell even Isaac... and not one of these character's motives are unjustified, just like true humans. For me this game is untouchable. Because the characters are so well crafted that any action of theirs, or most situations in which they appear, feel true and natural (at least to me). I was ready for any ending, I just hoped it wouldn't be underwhelming, and it wasn't, the last part closes the circle, and sets the motives right, of how the destruction of the last glimmer of hope can cause so much destruction. That's life for you folks. And that's why I can't rate the game itself.... I both love it, but I also 'hate' it, because Life is Suffering and it's hard to experience so much suffering In a virtual world and add that on top of the real world. My suggestion is to play HZD righr after you finish TLOU2, as I'm planning on doing rn. PS: (yes the whole PC messages in the story were predictable, however they are incorporated well enough to not feel like pure propaganda)

    (ONE SPOILER PART)

    THE FACT THAT ABBY IS THE 'GOOD GUY' IN THIS STORY, THAT HER SOUL IS THE FIRST TO LET GO OF THE HATE, AT WHAT I CALL THE 'FIRST ENDING' IS ABSOULTUELY AMAZING. I BELIEVE THAT LETTING THE STORY HAVE A SORT OF 'HAPPY ENDING' IS THE RIGHT CHOICE, BECAUSE IT GIVES HOPE TO THE PLAYERS TOO, THAT WHILE THERE'S A LOT OF UNNECESSARY SUFFERING WE'VE BROUGHT ON TO THE WORLD IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP. ELLIE'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS FULLY JUSTIFIED, AND BEUTIFUL IN BOTH ITS SIMULTANEOUS SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY. AND THE REASON WHY JOEL IS DEAD IS BECAUSE HIS STORY HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD. HE IS NOTHING BUT A GHOST OF GUILT, LOVE AND PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE THAT ELLIE HAD LOST WHEN SHE WASN'T KILLED FOR THE VACCINE. THE PURPOSE THAT WHEN MIXED WITH GUILT MADE ELLIE CHOSE TO GO AFTER ABBY AGAIN INSTEAD OF STAYING WHIT JJ AND HER LOVER. AND THE LAST BIT OF HUMANINTY LEFT IN ELLIE THAT AFTER 'WINNING' AGAINST ABBY MADE HEE REALISE THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO BRING JOEL BACK, AND THAT KILLING ABBY WOULD JUST BRING LEV AFTER HER, DINA AND JJ. OR MAYBE JUST THAT THIS ISN'T WHO SHE WAS, AND THIS ISN'T WHO SHE WANTS TO BE. THIS IS BASSICALY THE STORY OF THE FIRST HALF OF NARUTO SHIPPUDEN ONLY A TAD BIT MORE REALISTIC AND LESS IDEALISTIC.    … Expand

    The graphics are simply out of this world, as a PC gamer I was really impressed by the visual quality, Naughty Dog really pushed their limits, or rather, the PlayStation 4's limit once more.

    The audio is again really amazing, plus the options are highly customizable depending on your setup. Gunshots are actually loud, which isn't the case in other shooters.

    Gameplay-wise, The Last of Us Part II is definitely a step up compared to its predecessor, although it isn't perfect it does what it wants to REALLY REALLY well. Would've liked to see more variety in kills, more fights with both humans and infected. More random encounters while walking and such.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What to say about the follow-up to one of the last generation's most revered gaming experiences?

    TLOU was a masterpiece of empathetic storytelling. The game was featured in academic papers, its ending endlessly debated, its stellar gameplay praised to the heavens. The critics and non-critics united in bestowing universal acclaim.

    Rightly so in my opinion. The first game was lightning in a bottle.

    TLOU Part II is NOT satisfying in the same sense as TLOU 1. That alone has created a storm of controversy.

    But like or dislike, can anyone who has finished the game deny that the director, Neil Druckmann, has become much bolder, more confident, and more daring in his work when one compares Part II with the first game?

    That alone deserves a great deal of recognition. Druckmann knew exactly what we wanted: a follow-up to Joel and Ellie's trek across America. Laughter and lament, ending with the flavor of a bittersweet heartbreak.

    Yet he opted instead to give us something shocking and new.

    I don't know if Druckmann deserves all of the credit for the new additions. There is a wider effort of inclusivity within the game which can be appreciated in the same way if we look at the pains that Naughty Dog took to include all sorts of accessibility options for those impaired of hearing and vision. Cultural inclusivity as well; LGBT characters are featured in starring roles in a subtle, finessed manner. I absolutely adored Dina, Lev and Jesse as new characters who were so damn cool just being themselves. I loved Naughty Dog's extra effort to tell inclusive stories in accessible ways.

    Onto the nitty-gritty:

    If you are a 3-rd person shooter fan a-la- Resident Evil , you will enjoy the gameplay. It's the same as Part I, only much more refined and expressive. The addition of the dodge mechanic and prone stance were my particular favorites. There's also an 'encounters' option in the menu to jump right into your favorite fights.

    Aesthetically, the game is simply a masterpiece of graphics optimization. You will sigh with pleasure when you wade into a puddle of water and see its glorious rippling reflections. There's just so much to marvel: after a while, you won't even bat an eye. Your mind will be so immersed that you simply forget this video game is rendering a lucid dream on hardware that is 7 years old.

    The music, I must say I prefer Gustavo Santaolalla's music from the first game. Its melodies were more recognizable.

    And lastly, the most important effort of all, is the story.

    I cannot enjoy this game's story. And I am just so damn sorry to say it. Naughty Dog poured their hearts and souls, their sweat and their blood into this game. They are true craftsmen and deserve our appreciation.

    Many people, including Druckmann, have remarked that this story is NOT about revenge, but ultimately about forgiveness and about coming to terms with loss. I agree. TLOU Part II has done everything right in terms of narrative direction. Druckmann and Halley Gross's characterizations are considerate and complex.

    But I really have to question, at the end of this journey, what Ellie has learned. What she has gained from her tragedy. And I am left with the dispirited answer that she has learned how to move on. How to heal from her terrible wounds.

    What does this story say about revenge? That it is hideously messy, that it swallows up innocent bystanders and corrupts the original noble impulse of honoring our loved ones? That it brings us to the brink of true evil, of the crime of denying others their humanity?

    But we already knew all that. We well understand, as adults, the consequences of taking revenge. And who hasn't thought about killing someone over a perceived slight, over a heinous injury? Is it terribly satisfying to recognize that our mortal enemy is also full of fear and love, like us? I felt it was a redundant lesson.

    Instead, I felt that as an audience, we yearned to understand the meaning of Ellie's life. Joel hinted that he knew this meaning when he told her that he would have saved her all over again if given the choice.

    If Part II is about moving on, then it's largely moving on from the legacy of the first game. I can understand why Naughty Dog would choose to move in this direction. It's incredibly bold and unexpected.

    But in my mind, Part II is a middle act in a greater story. And this middle arc was excessively violent, predictable and self-indulgent, as are most revenge narratives in my experience.

    Since the prologue of Part II, Ellie has been merely reacting to her horrible loss, reacting to the actions of her friends and foes. But we yearned to see her grow up and to take her life into her own hands. We yearned to see her make choices that reflected the true worth of her singularly valuable life. I could not bear to see Ellie wasting the gift of her life on vengeance over and over again. I wish it were different...but it ain't.    … Expand

    The game design and world building is unmatched. The story can leave something to be desired. While I personally loved the "don't let grief consume you" story, it unfortunately falls into some cliché plot points and falls just short of the original. I enjoyed my time with the game and will likely play it again. If the original was a 10, this is definitely an 8.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game play wise TLOU2 is a solid game. The combat is good just like the first entry and the survivalist atmosphere with low amounts of ammo and items is there in spades. I think it went too far in some points, pitting you against an insane amount of enemies all in one go. Some of these encounters proved to be a dragging slog honestly. The "zombies" were only an afterthought throughout. But in all it isn't as bad as some people are making it out to be. I give it a 7.7-8. Not perfect but definitely worth the play.

    *SPOILERS*

    I don't care about the progressive storyline people seem to be review bombing for no reason. Was the story as good as 1? No. Was it good? Yes. The ending is complex. In my estimation the final section of the game showed how Ellie believed she owed Joel and had to avenge his death. But I believe Ellie realized that Joel wanted Ellie to be alive and HAPPY. That is why she let Abby live. She realized that killing her wouldn't have brought her the happiness she had with her girlfriend and child. The vengeance she had in the beginning of the story was fueled off of pure unadulterated rage but in the end she realized that just like in the first game Joel only ever cared about protecting Ellie and making sure she was happy. That is what rang true for me. I don't think it was the best ending but I think it was valid. Abby did a horrid thing but Ellie realized nothing would right that wrong and decided to move past it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was hard to play, and is obviously a controversial game. The first of which I though right to review. It constantly pushes you over and over. It even made it difficult to keep going at points; however this is what made it so compelling to me. I don't think i need to speak for the visuals as they were stunning, and if you liked the gameplay from the first game you will love this because it makes tons of subtle improvements that when going back to see how the other one played made me think "this is what combat evolution through games should be", subtle, but effective. Through my experience many of my expectations of the game were thrown around, and some of the story beats I didn't agree with entirely, but that's what makes this game stand out. It isn't just a linear journey like the first, this makes it less tight than the first and the main reason why it's an 8/10. My main issue was placement of flashbacks, and although they made some sense on location they didn't feel like they would have the same soft impact they had on me if some were located elsewhere. Also spoilers, but Abby's immediate bond with Yara and Lev definitely humanized her it also felt forced as when she heads back to where she left them she had only known them for like an hour or 2 when escaping the Seraphites. This is my main complaint with the game, but also the reason why I loved it as much as I did. I also saw a couple bugs here and there, none of them were game breaking, just annoying. The fact that I didn't agree with everything that happened and how flawed everyone was to the point where the video game had no true villain. What? A video game without a villain. Yes. Although much of what I'm saying may sound like I disliked the game that is not the case. I am highlighting issues I had with it because of how controversial it is and want my review to be as unbiased as possible because of my love for the first one. This game is also an interesting reflection on humanity and the lengths both sides go to prove their point. That is all, I secede all my time to the Waring factions of the comments.… Expand

You may hate her for killing Joel, but let’s be honest: gEllie would do EXACTLY the same thing that done Abby. They are much alike.

    The game is dark. It’s not the happy story everyone want. But that’s cool. Some people say that the story is pointless. But That’s what creators tried to show: that vengeance IS pointless. . That’s the main problem of the humanity in this story. To survive, people should unite and stop goddamn kill each other.    … Expand

I just finished the game today and it wasn’t until checking what the reviews were like this afternoon that I realised there was such a backlash. I have no idea why people hate the game so much. It’s genuinely awesome. The storyline was brilliant. The graphics are brilliant. The music is brilliant. The voice acting is brilliant. I get some parts of the story make you roll your eyes a bit but what video game doesn’t have some slightly strained plot devices? Yeah sure occasionally a character will do something a bit weird just to get the story moving along but it’s not a reason to give the game such harsh reviews. I can only guess people are upset that Joel dies so brutally and so early in the game but it’s just a video game for gods sake! Another guess is probably because there is a hench woman as main character working with a transgender character but so what? It was done tastefully and didn’t feel overly politically correct at all. My main issue was the searching for loot mechanic felt a bit tedious, running around rooms looking for bits got a bit dull but that was my only complaint.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece. I was truly devastated with the first major death. But intrigued none the less.. I’ve never felt so emotionally attached to a fictional character, through any type of medium.. so I plunged into a hate filled lust for revenge as the game intended.. I enjoyed hearing of Tommy’s success and similar when playing as Ellie I could add to her list as the game went on. When Abbey showed up at the theatre I was gearing up for the final act, instead I was thrown into a whole new side mission (or what I thought was a side mission) until it became clear the narrative was matching the timeline though through Abbeys eyes! It took me a while to get to grips with this, as I was moulded into hating this girl for what she did.. the journey went on, and with a master stroke by the creators, indeed I did grow to enjoy my time as Abbey! In fact, probably even more so then I did as Ellie at times! As much as I hated to admit that at first! The game play, story line, and amazing mix of encounters as Abbey, was such a rollercoaster, and some of the best gameplay of the series so far! It turns out Abbey is the replacement for Joel you didn’t even know you wanted! She is brutal in combat, and an absolute powerhouse of ferocity! The (what I thought, again, was the final act) fight against Ellie, in the theatre, was one of the cleverest moments I’ve ever been witness to in a video game! It threw me back to MGS2, when I had Snake watching my back when playing as Raiden.. you got to feel/experience, from the outside, how badass this character is! I could hear Ellie healing, then I hear her dropping trap mines, and I knew how much of a fight I was in for! She was as formidable as she should be! No easy fight! With that, you’re thrown into a new world! Ellie seems like she has found her peace, and is living and dancing up a storm with her dream girl and their baby JJ! It’s such a nice moment, be it short lived.. I was ready for it to end, as much as I loved the game, I, like many, thought it was over! Then, AGAIN, we’re thrown another curve ball!! Back to ABBEY! This is the moment I chose to take a break and get to bed, and get back to it the next day! I jumped back in, and without taking long I’m finally given control of Ellie again, and with a fully loaded bag pack! This lead to one of the most fast paced, and exciting parts of the series! I chose to let loose and have a little fun with explosives and machine guns, and enjoyed every minute. The final final final act, a hand to hand fight with a gaunt and almost dead Abbey (equally almost dead Ellie) is capped with a massive choice that Ellie chooses.. forgiveness! She made a tough choice, but the right one.. she forgave Abbey, and in my opinion, Joel too. I wasn’t intending on a long review, but as soon as I got going I felt it a worthy few minutes to type this out. I’ve never been more engaged in a game, and I can’t wait to see what they do next, if they come back the franchise or not, I loved the series and I’m truly grateful for the wonderful masterpiece they gave us. 10/10… Expand

The loss of a beloved character from "part one" caused a backlash from some of the more toxic fanbase that either quit the game at that point or failed to register the reason behind the test of the game. The areas in the game are vast and beautifully executed, with nooks and crannies that would be perfect for multiplayer. The only issue I had with the game was the required killing of man's best friends, but that also added to the realism of the game and was well thought out.… Expand

I can see why some people may get upset because of certain events that happen (no spoilers here) but I truly believe that once that happened they immediately stopped playing the game and said 'F' this. I feel bad for those kind of gamer's because they can't see how different in story this game is telling. This one dwells on revenge and the feelings that accompany with it such as pain and suffering. It has it's heart moments but it's nowhere near where the first game was in it's story and I'm okay with that because I don't want another copy and paste game. If I had to break it down and sum it up, Part II is a masterpiece in it's game play, sound design, acting, motion capture, and all that jazz. But the story for me (which I loved in the end) isn't better than the first game WHICH IS OKAY. I loved Abby's character and sure I was heartbroken with what she did but she grew on me and I want to see more of her and her new sidekick in another game. If Neil and Naughty Dog decide to make a Part III, I would want the trilogy to come to it's conclusion by finding a cure and have Ellie do what she thought she was meant to do meaning, the first game d'welled with purpose, this with revenge, finale with redemption.

    Please buy this game and give an open minded opinion on this. If you still dislike the game, that's okay. But finish the game and give the story and it's characters a chance before making your final thoughts.    … Expand

As someone who loves good storytelling in video games, this is an experience you cannot miss. If you can, it's worth trying to experience this game without any of the spoilers. This story is as much about the execution as it is the plot.

    The gameplay is tense, fluid and strategic. There is a good mix of different human and zombie enemies, and you can either sneak or fight your way through a situation. It makes noticeable incremental improvements on the first game, while not changing what works. Sometimes the looting can get a little bit repetitive. I would say the game is perhaps a bit longer than it needs to be.

    There is a great low-guitar score, top quality voice acting, and the environments are gorgeous. Post-apocalyptic Seattle is rendered with beautiful weather and very realistic details. Having been to the city, I was surprised how familiar they made it.

    This game is not going to be an easygoing experience with cartoon-happy endings. It depicts a dark, ugly, violent post-apocalypse in a very human way.

    I am not a fan of survival horror. I am more drawn to stories and thats why I gave TLOU part 1 a try and it was great (9/10).

    I went in without watching any spoilers and I couldn’t wait to play as Joel and Ellie again but then that thing happened and I was pissed. I just wanted to get to Abby and kill her.

    But by the end in the final scene I didn’t feel like killing her anymore.

    There were so many ups and downs, so many emotions that I felt while playing this game that I cannot recall another game or other media that can deliver this kind of experience.

    I can understand why there are so many negative reviews but you have to take them as fans that were really sad from losing a beloved character.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible game, a true masterpiece. Nothing is black and white, every story has multiple sides to it. This game is about ending the cycle of violence and seeing that hurting and taking away other peoples lives and happiness won't help you or bring back the people you've lost, but stopping before you become a true monster will bring back the light you've lost, whether that be through saving others and becoming their family, or realising that you're hurting your family and you need to help yourself and then help them so you can really find peace and happiness together. I also thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, the stealth aspect of the gameplay is phenomenal, so much fun to do, and there are so many ways through scenarios, whether that be avoiding all together or sneaking or just going full ham. I ended up adoring every single character by the end of it, and really empathised with each one and their individual struggles. Made me laugh, made me sob crying, made me angry, made me feel peace. What an amazing game to do that and put me through all these emotions, especially with hating certain characters, and coming to understand and then love them. This is what games should be about, not trying to do what they know fans will like that would be repetitive, but something truly unique, giving us a new story and a push forward. I havent stopped thinking about it!! Massively reccomend.… Expand

    Il miglior gioco di sempre, incredibile pieno di emozioni. È una storia struggente, che non ti lascia mai tregua, un capolavoro assoluto come il primo tlou. Complimenti a tutta la naughty dog il finale mi ha spiazzata, bellissimo dove comprendi la vera rabbia di Ellie,il miglior finale che potessero fare.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is so much to say about this game. I absolutely loved this game! No matter what the detractors say because they love Joel and Ellie so much, everyone has to admit that the storyline was good because it made you feel some kind of way when situations happened to the characters and THAT is what makes the game good! At first I was rooting for Ellie and Joel and when it cane time to play as Abby I literally was thinking to myself “well screw her! I’m just gonna play her and do the minimum!”. I couldn’t stand her at first, but then I started seeing all that she had gone through in the game, why she did the things she did and started realizing, hey she does have a heart and NO she didn’t kill Joel for no apparent reason whatsoever! The only scientist/doctor (that anyone was aware of) that could potentially create a vaccine and save humanity is dead because of Joel! I don’t think people really let that sink in because they want to marry Joel and Ellie so bad. The characters Joel and Ellie were good people in their own way, but Abby was good in her own way as well. It just takes seeing things from another person’s shoes rather than your own selfish viewpoint just because Joel was killed. There wouldn’t be a story if everyone lived. There wouldn’t be dialogue between people about the game either. What would there be? Bigger monsters and tiptoeing through the tulips? Come on people! Abby was after the cause of her pain and sorrow. She didn’t want anybody dead but him, she could have killed Ellie as well, but she didn’t because Ellie wasn’t the source of her distress. It was Joel. No one can tell me they would have done things differently if they were in her shoes! Most people would’ve prolly killed Ellie too, but Abby showed her humanity and it’s wild to me how people didn’t see it! The last fight was brutal and over the top and it showed me that Ellie was kind of crazed during the fight. Abby only fought Ellie to save this teenage boys life. She didn’t even want to do it! Ellie didn’t give two licks. Her humanity was nearly gone. She didn’t care what was going on around her, she only saw one thing and that was to see Abby dead. In the end people really need to play the game in its entirety, PROCESS what happened (if they can’t while playing) and then write a review. Don’t write a review based on love for characters in the last game. Don’t write a review when you haven’t completed the game or based off leaks. I’m only saying this because I know someone who has an opinion opposite mine that hasn’t played the game and thank goodness they didn’t write a review just because of things they seen in leaks and reviews from people who haven’t played.… Expand

    This game made me feel things I’ve never felt playing a video game. With enough notes of levity to break up the despair felt by the characters it strikes the perfect balance for this kind of story.

    Game is perfect! Despite the hatred of the game, its gameplay is perfect, the enemies' AI is surprising, a good combat system and a narrative that supports us in detail. It is not a story for anyone. Game is cruel and bloody, giving you the reality of an apocalyptic world, I recommend to everyone to give the game a chance for the game, and do not go after hate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story: It's dark and great, It's not boring at all and yeah sometimes this game slap you in the face because the last of us two shows you never know when you die or how you or someone you love die, I had a problem when people say: OHH why you killed Joel he was a nice guy he is my HERO!!!!!, No he wasn't, After his daughter died he always makes sure everything happens don't hurt him and its really selfish. he killed so many people because he didn't want to lose someone again. and because of that nobody cant makes the cure. Yeah, Joel died really harsh, and it was too much and Ellie sometimes being dumb and she did some dumb thing, Oh and that sex scene was really disgusting.
    I love the gameplay and graphics.
    AND THAT'S IT.
    I know some people already saying no it's not true this is **** and .......... BUT I think it's wrong because Joel died, say that all the story is **** and ........    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many people are hating on this game and it really saddens me that people get too caught up in what they want to happen that they let it ruin the experience of a masterpiece that is here to tell it's story, not the easy story that some people wanted. This game has improved upon the first in terms of
    game play, graphics, and all the technical aspects (voice acting and music and phenomenal) but this game also manages to deliver another amazing story with compelling characters and interesting moral dilemmas. Naughty Dog really knows how to make amazing characters and this game proves it and the naysayers are just mad that the story didn't go the way they wanted and that instead it tells a darker, messier, and ultimately better story than just your run of the mill revenge story. Bravo Naughty Dog, you've done it again. A must play and another classic and unforgettable experience. Don't let negative reviews keep you from experiencing this yourself, I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    I don't care what anybody says. This game looks and feels good although the end gave me an unsettling feeling in my gut, this game is a must play.

    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]
