    Best game ever. Graphics, sound and story are awesome. Never caught such an intensity in a game.

    Perhaps The Last of Us part II's plot is a manipulation of feelings and makes us feel guilty for what we had to do, but it's a great game nonetheless. Which has great characters and beautiful locations to offer

    In my opinion, The Last of Us Part II is the second best video game ever made (after RDR2). I rated the game based on four elements;
    Art design & graphics, sound & music, gameplay and of course the story.
    Art design & Graphics (10/10) There isn't much to critic, I personally really enjoyed the art work in this game it was literally flawless. Might even be the best one so far amongst
    In my opinion, The Last of Us Part II is the second best video game ever made (after RDR2). I rated the game based on four elements;

    Art design & Graphics (10/10) There isn't much to critic, I personally really enjoyed the art work in this game it was literally flawless. Might even be the best one so far amongst the other games.

    Sound & Music (10/10) In my opinion the best part of the game was the musics. They put me through an undescribable emotional wave that I've never experienced before while playing a game so it would not be possible to pass without mentioning the music and I can definitely say the same for the in game sound so thank you Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Gustavo Santaolalla and other people whom worked on soundtracks for this amazing experience.

    Gameplay (7/10) The reason I gave 7 to the gameplay is, it felt like they didn't change it that much compared to the first game, we get to pass episodes and progress in the game by solving the puzzles (sections) like the first game. Also the shooting mechanics could've been better in my opinion but still it doesn't matter that much for me because I consider this game as an artwork like a movie so no matter how compelling the gameplay is we all get to see the same story and ending, that's why I'm always playing in the easiest mode in these type of games so I get to finish the game not too slow but explore the game through every beautiful detail.

    Story (9/10) The reason I left the story for the last is because I think there is a lot to say about it but I'll keep it as short as possible and try my best to criticize without giving spoilers because there are many people who don't play the second game due to this hatred and lynching notion towards the story.

    Personally I've enjoyed the story as much as the first game 'cause Part II definitely gives us a better understanding of The Last of Us universe and since it's a sequel to the first game it makes the events before the Part II even more meaningful so this is a great aspect to consider and actually what I think is if we were to play this exact story in the first game in addition to first game's story I think it would've changed everyone's opinions about the Part II because the events are %100 justifiable. I'm not saying that I wouldn't make it any different maybe I would've made it a little bit less tragic but the Last of Us universe itself a tragedy so scriptwriters actually did a good job by giving us a controversial story unlike the first game, otherwise it'd be just a casual story like we get to see %99 of the time in books, movies etc. everyday. Unfortunately in a cruel universe like Last of Us no one should be that lucky to get a happy ending even the protagonist. That's why I can give a solid 9 to the story.

    So, The Last of Us Part II was awesome overall, therefore I would definitely recommend.. I'll give (9/10) and I want to say that the hate towards the game and Naught Dog Co. was definitely unnecessary and not fair.

    Thanks for reading.

    Now this was really hard for... Joel is my favourite character of all time, through and through. Watching him die was unbearable so rightly so I should hate this game.

But I don't, I think its a masterpiece. I think a majority of people who dislike this game haven't played or they didn't experience it properly or aren't open minded enough to understand it. This game isn't wanting to make you feel bad, it wants you to reflect, to show how pointless revenge is. It doesn't make things better, it caused everyone Abby knew to die, and Ellie lost everyone she cared about. The game wants you to feel something whether its a good reaction or not, that's the point of a game and for a video game to be able to create such an intense feeling is genius, not many other games can do that. The story is miserable, and its meant to because its a story about grief. You aren't meant to like Abby but to understand her, she lost her father so she was in the right to hate Joel, whilst Joel was in the right to save Ellie as even though he could have let her save the world, Ellie was Joel's world. Its a game about perspectives. Its not meant to be fun. Expand

    The last of us part 2 is probably one of the most inconsistent games of all time. This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting.

This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting. The controls and combat of the game are a huge improvement from part 1 as it is much more immersive and uses different ways to find treasures, etc. The first half of the game (before we turn to Abby) is near perfect, it has some intense moments and also keeps a fairly well-balanced pace. Until we get to the second half where I believe the final 3 hours should've been turned into its own last of us game because the ending feels very rushed and with a game like this, it should've been much more spread out. Also another negative about the game is that the game makes you feel miserable, watching a "beloved' character get tortured and killed or shooting dogs doesn't make you feel good and this makes another problem of the game, Pacing. One of the most important parts of a game is the pacing, and the pacing for this game is **** terrible, after watching Joel die, you then go onto a peaceful adventure looting chests and finding clues slowly, If a game had this, it wouldn't be boring most of the time, but the fact that we watched Joel die a gruesome death before, makes this game have a very weird narrative for the beginning of the game. I still do think that the stealth of this game is **** amazing and makes you feel SUPER tense while playing. overall the game had the potential to be incredible, but naughty dog being naughty dog, had to make it controversial and surprise the reader lol. Overall it's very hard to rank this game because when I think of all the amazing things of the game, I wanna give it a 9, but then when I think of the huge problems, it makes me wanna give it a lower score. Overall I do enjoy this game and the score of it doesn't matter so even though it's shown as a 10 (mainly to boost the score cause this game is much better than a 5/10) it's more of a GOOD/10 because this is Mr Morale & The Big Steppers Dialled up to 11 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game advances with the story in a way that nobody wants, we all want our beloved characters to continue their development, but this changes after joel's death, even so while you advance with a sour taste you begin to understand the message he wants to give and you start to feel a new taste, the way the story is carried out fits perfectly with the world of the last of us, a world where nobody is special, there is no hero who will never die, we are all equal and we all have a story behind us, and everything can be refuted quickly. This game has been quite an experience and I personally think it's the best game around gameplay and story. The best thing is that I bought it for 9 dollars but if I had to buy it at the launch price I would do the same because it deserves to be spent after giving me more than 3 continuous days playing, it is true that it lasts less but if you give it time to get to know and explore the whole game you have for a while Expand

    I just finished the second part yesterday and it is was one hell of a ride! Apart from the awesome graphics and the technical uplift from the first game, I really liked the original story with a lot of plot twists.

    I just completed this game last night for the first time, i was holding on to it because of the other peoples comments, and I want to say that most of the people who gave it a bad review are people who got carried away by the things that others people said about the game.

    There are reviews of people who I don't think even finished the game, the game is a premium gift for us gamers with brutally phenomenal graphics, every detail in the game is excellent.

    Yes, I understand the story and seeing how Abby kills Joel and then making you play with our hero's murderer is something that you don't see much in video games, but little by little you understand how each person has a different story and Since sometimes we don't think that each head is a life seen from a different perspective and I loved that from tlof part 2- .

    I think it was not a game for everybody obviously because it could not please everyone but for me it is an excellent game, and on PS5 with 60 frames the game runs georgeous, I will give The Last of Us Part 2 a 10 out of 10

    This is a Premium game for premium people not casual gamers, awesome game with outstanding graphics, sound
    and gameplay. Chef kiss **

    I understand that this story is not to please everyone, as risky decisions are made. Anyway, those who say it is bad, have no idea.

The visuals are fantastic, the game play is brilliant, combat can provide some very memorable self made moments and the story is compelling and harrowing. Certainly not for those who want a light-hearted story, but if you are mature and can handle the darker aspects of life in an apocalyptic world then there is definitely something for you here. Shame it's getting so heavily review bombed because it has unparalleled diversity, an accurate depiction of human society in difficult times as well as truly heart breaking moments that aren't there to make you happy, but to force the questions for you to ask yourself. Much like the ending of the first game, could you and would you have done the same, would you continue or end a brutal cycle of violence? Life isn't always sunshine and lolly pops people. Brilliant game, one of the most accessable games off all time, and one of naughty dogs finest to date. Expand

    best game I have ever played, the characters have a great weight, the story holds us back, it still made a giant evolution in part of the gameplay and I loved it. I highly recommend this game

    Whether one likes the story or not, or generally has an opinion on the LGBT representation, or if it didn't meet their expectations of redefining 'gaming' - this is not a 3.9/10 game. It's a 11 on 10 for me.

I was constantly surprised throughout the game and thoroughly enjoyed the direction of the story. The only thing that holds this back from a perfect score is the length (felt a bit bloated at times) and game pacing.

    The Last of Us 2 plays as a greek tragedy. When it’s dark - it’s pitch black, only to be broken up by some of the most cherishable and memorable scenes in video gaming I’ve ever taken part of.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not just a sequel, but the continuation of the story from the first game. That’s why it’s called The Last of Us: Part II. I fell in love with the first game. The journey of Joel, from loving father, to broken man, to hardened survivor, to finally allowing himself to open back up again to this little girl... Ellie made Joel whole again.

    However, in Part II, we get answers to the hard questions we were left with in Part I. How would Ellie respond if she found out the truth about Salt Lake, and what were, if any, the repercussions of Joel’s actions?

    The monsters in Pittsburgh, who ambushed Joel and Ellie, the ones who would murder people in the streets just to take their shoes and whatever else they could find... Joel admits that the reason he knew it was a trap was because he had been on both sides. It’s part of what created such a division between he and Tommy years prior to meeting Ellie. What they had to do to survive was awful. Many innocent people died, because, as Joel put it, it was either them or him.

    That comes back to haunt him, in a way that is truly unimaginable to us, as gamers. And it hurts. What is done to Joel - a character I related with - was so cruel, and cold, and ruthless, and done without a second thought. It’s what puts us in Ellie’s shoes. We want revenge, and we want it now.

    However, what Naughty Dog does so well in this game is to show us that cycle of loss, revenge and violence, in a way we never got to see in the first game. The path Ellie takes to get “justice” is paralleled with Abby’s path for “justice” on the man who took her Joel... her father. Abby found him dead in a pool of his own blood, along with many of the people she called family. They were killed without remorse, without hesitation, by a man named Joel Miller.

    The Last Of Us: Part II forces us to look at its world and see it’s far less black and white than we would have liked to have believed, even though we knew it wasn’t.

    In the end, I knew I didn’t want to see Ellie go down the same path Joel did... and Joel didn’t want that for her either. In fact, it was the last thing he would’ve wanted. He fought for her, he did things that, yes, were horrible... for her, so that she could live her life... and he’d do it all over the same way. Because, to him, she was his world, and he wanted her to experience the life that Sarah never got the chance to.

    In the end... the very end... Ellie saw that. She felt the love Joel had for her, and it gave her the strength, in her most darkest moment, to let go. It’s the same strength Ellie unknowingly gave Joel 4 years prior, and it was love, and not revenge, that granted it.

    I, for one, am glad she found that strength before it was too late. She saved Joel, and Joel saved her.

    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.
