    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I only recommend this game if you played the first one and are invested in Ellie's character development. This game really **** with me on an emotional level. The story is good up to the ending as many of y'all know instead of the game making the call on whether or not you wanted revenge the player should've had this choice. Abby's POV is really good and gives you an interesting perspective i believe that her part of the game story is very good and is why the player should have the choice of kill or not. My main beef with this game is the end it emotional is draining to play this game and the end is brutal. Ellie goes for revenge after having a nice life on a farm with Dina and her child she gives it all up for nothing and when she returns Dina is gone and it **** hurts. After 20 hours of brutal depressing **** the ending leaves you hollow.… Expand

The story is absolutely amazing and I hope Naughty dog gonna continue in making such good story games. At least I would like to see Ellie living a good and happy life after all that. The ending was very frustrating. But that it's not why the game should have such a bad rating.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game yesterday. Now, I'm not one to blindly follow a dev or artist just because I like their past stuff. Bethesda used to be my favorite dev of all time, but after Fallout 4 being okay, 76 being trash and their handling of Elder Scrolls, I can't stand them. This game does not make me feel the same way. After playing the game, watching another playthrough and beginning to go back through it again, I like the story. Yes, it's bleak. Yes, it's a cautionary tale about revenge. No, it doesn't go how any of us wanted it to, and honestly that's why I like it.

    I've always been one for narratives like this, that don't have a happy ending or... really an ending that is satisfying at all for the sake of making a point. Those have always resonated with me. I feel it mirrors the first game in the sense that all of it was, technically, for nothing. When Ellie makes it back to the farmhouse, Dina is gone, and she can't play Joel's song anymore, it represents her losing everything that she was fighting for in the first place. It's a cautionary tale with a tragic ending, and I find myself drawn to those types of stories consistently throughout my life.

    I was in the same camp as everyone else when we first transitioned to playing as Abby. I hated her, I hated the way the story was going, and I just wanted to be Ellie again and kill her. After a while... I still hated her, but I understood her. I never LIKED Abby for a second, but I was aware of her motivations and reasoning for how she is and why she's doing what she's doing, and that's more important than liking her from a storytelling perspective. I respect this game for taking a risk like this, much like MGS2, instead of relying on fanservice or a safe route. That will always get points from me. But, again, these complaints are completely valid and I acknowledge that I am in a minority of people that LIKE the plot.

    TL;DR: I like the storytelling and plot of the game, I'd give it overall a 9/10, and I acknowledge that the criticisms of the games are valid, I just don't necessarily agree with all of them.    … Expand

One group, are immature anti-SJW types whining about gay agenda, mostly because they just didn't want to play as a girl, and especially not a gay girl. The other type are people disgusted with the graphic violence and depressing tone of the game, who I guess expected Nathan Drake to drop from the sky and give everyone ice cream. They're both wrong.

    At the end of the day, this game is A LOT like the first one, with a lot less board carrying, ladder moving, and garbage dumpster placing and a lot more exploration, world/character building and combat tactics.

    Its probably the most beautiful game ever made, and it's probably the first game I've where the slow walking speed that's usually forced in games feels appropriate; the world is just THAT dense with detail. I found myself literally slowing down just because it felt right taking the world in at that contemplative speed.

    The story, is brutal. Period. In fact its miserable. If you like drama like Requiem for a Dream, you'll be right at home, but I understand why this game is too much for some people. It's realistic and it's unrelenting. LoU2 is mostly a revenge anti-fantasy and the game's story ends up being a lot about the price we pay a person hates.

    Game play is a lot of the same but more dynamic with less stupid puzzles to keep you stuck in small areas. Its a wider world and you have a lot more freedom to explore which has been my favorite part. The game probably changes characters and skips around in time a bit for me, BUT these instances more than justified themselves in the story and happen less frequently later on.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games I played this year. Despite all the controversy, I think that as a whole the story is beautifully harsh and real. It tells a story of a girl who got her heartbroken and lost herself to anger. And on the flip side, it’s also a story of redemption. Joel’s actions affected Abby. Abby’s actions affected Ellie. Ellie’s actions affected Abby. It’s a cycle of violence that stopped when they decided not to kill each other. When Ellie made the choice not to kill her.

    The ending, however bittersweet, has a sliver of hope when it comes to Ellie and Dina. Perhaps explored in a DLC? I sure hope so. My only complaint is some parts of the story I felt were dragging. But it seems every time I started thinking ‘man I’ve been exploring without action for a while’, I would get jumped or something crazy happened.

    The action was insane, the gameplay was solid and the world we got to explore was simply breathtaking

    Spectacular game.    … Expand

"The Last Of Us 2" will live in our history as one of the greatest artistic masterpieces in gaming design & story telling to have ever been created within our time as this species. We are very fortunate to have had this experience!!
    This game has so much to teach us about how unbelievably misguided and lost we are/can be, and then at the same time how fine-tuned our senses are for the incredible yearning to love and be loved. Which is "one of" the most powerful "elements if you will" for our survival and longevity as Human Beings.

    The Last Of Us 2 is much more than "just a game" to me... It's a 3-D digital-reality that tries to imitate Reality... but one can clearly feel an almost out of body experience while being immersed in its world. As if the game is invoking something more... pushing outward or drawing inward from a 5th dimension a.k.a "Hypercube" ripping into the fabric of our Reality.
    It brilliantly succeeds in "not imitating" but rather "Emulating" a probable but terrifying "what if?" future of Reality!

It is a story that you definitely can not criticize without having seen or played it completely (both its first part and the second), this gem puts you in such complicated positions that you go from love to hate in a brutal way, and not only love and hate, but also the whole strip between these two feelings, grief and pain are just a few of the feelings that this game exploits in us. If you are not willing to immerse yourself in this great adventure completely, and you have not developed every feeling from the first part, and you are a conservative person with fear of new feelings and emotions, and you fear accepting the cruelty and reality of a world devastated by the brutality of the human being and the nature, this game is not for you, on the other hand if you are the opposite ...

Which means they didn't play it! So don't trust these haters (I'm not saying that those who didn't like the game are haters, they have the right to dislike it, but most ... they are hehe.

    Neil Druckman said from the beginning that TLOU 2 was a story about revenge so if you're not ready to see ANYBODY die well... Just keep playing TLOU 1 and stop telling this game is bad, because it's not !
    The story is so well written, I laughed, cried, got very angry and felt empty when the game ended. I got attached to some characters (abby) which I never thought I would attach myself one day. All this because despite the fact that I was very angry, I kept an open mind and I trusted Neil and his team. This game makes you feel something, and just for that it deserve wayyy more than what trolls are saying.
    I mean, of course some people didn't like the story, which is completely fine, everyone can have their opinion. But most of them are just mad that the game is "SJW" (which is not.. Ellie is a lesbian, ok, but NEVER in a thousand years do you see them having sex or anything like that, it's smooth and very innocent, it's not "pushed down your throat" like I've seen some people say.)

    Now I'd like to talk about the gameplay. It hasn't changed that much from TLOU 1 (apart from the dodge button) but I like this one better: you feel the tension more, you can feel just with the fights that this game is way more mature from the first. It is way more slow, by that I mean that it's harder to aim right, you feel that Ellie is more weak and has less experience that Joel. (maybe it's just me, I don't know)

    Oh I know let's talk about the music ! I loved that one too, but it's too bad that it's less present from the first one. Santaollala did a very good job !

Things I hate in it well there’s not a lot of big things I hate in this game just some small things Like the snow affects and this door is locked you’ll understand is if you play

    Overall
    The last of us is definitely the game of the year it’s the best looking game on PlayStation four definitely the best Naughty dog Game and of course it’s a must play game 10/10    … Expand

    Like many other players, the original The Last of Us is the game closest to my heart. I’ve probably completed it fifteen times, and it inspired me to investigate programming, after which I changed careers to software engineering.

I’ve probably completed it fifteen times, and it inspired me to investigate programming, after which I changed careers to software engineering. I was very worried about a sequel, especially after all the vitriol surrounding the leaks.

    Now that I've played the game, I can say that it is indisputably a technical marvel. The combat is TREMENDOUSLY improved from the first game (almost feels as good as the Leviathan axe from God of War), and the NPC AI is fantastic. Also, the voice acting is stellar from top to bottom. Most complaints folks have been making revolve around the story design however, so that's what I'd like to discuss here.

    In the first few hours of the game, a horrific event takes place that has upset many players and fans. I have heard people say that it is lazy writing, and that the character decisions that led up to the event in question do not align with the characters involved. When I first experienced that scene, my gut reaction was to agree with these sentiments. However, as the remainder of the story unfolded and I personally reflected on the nature of the characters, I came to fully support the creative decisions made. I will be vague so as to avoid major spoilers, but I do want to (very humbly) offer a couple of general thoughts to consider for those who have or have not yet played the sequel. They’ve helped me better understand the writers’ choices:

    1. Remember that this installment takes place years after the first, throughout which our characters are in a community with amenities, security, and a culture of accepting outsiders. If our characters were the exact same as they were when we last saw them, this would be dishonest writing. Dialog and notes later in the game further support this character development between games.

    2. Consider the intrapersonal consequences of decisions made by characters in the first game. How could these decisions subsequently cause people to choose to behave?

    3. The world of this game is brutal, and nothing is too precious to be lost. Even in our real world, relationships and lives are cut short prematurely, and not everything is tied in a nice, tidy bow at its end.

    To conclude, despite how emotionally exhausting this story was, I am forever changed by it. Its dark moments were some of the most most brutal I've experienced in any medium, and the high points had me smiling from ear to ear with tears in my eyes.

    Play this game. With an open mind and an open heart. It is truly a work of art, and what I would consider an absolute masterpiece. Thank you Naughty Dog for your hard work and sacrifices in order to provide us with this experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never leave reviews for anything, but I felt compelled to say something about this game because of the ridiculousness surrounding it.

    This game is good. Like very, very good. In MY OPINION and in my experience, it absolutely outdoes the first game in virtually every way. It was an extremely emotionally charged experience for me, I cried several times and found myself questioning every action I was making these characters take. The way the decided to tell the story is brilliant in my opinion. They make you dislike the new character, Abby, and her friends by making her do something horrible, and then through her section of the story and through her gameplay in the latter half of the game, they successfully (to me) humanize everyone on her side of things to the point that it made me genuinely feel terrible and conflicted about everything I had just done as Ellie.

    The overwhelming majority of the criticism leveled at this game is complete nonsense. I am not normally the person to tell a fan base that their outrage is unjustified. I was angry at The Last Jedi. I was angry about Game of Thrones turning into a dumpster fire. This isn't that. The game is fine. If you don't like some of the creative decisions they decided to make, that's on you.

    Joel being murdered and not a central playable character is not an objectively bad creative decision. It's just that you don't like it. Having to play as the woman that killed him is not an objectively bad creative decision, you just don't like it. Ellie deciding not to kill Abby at the end of the game is not an objectively bad creative decision, you just don't like it.

    I can understand why the game going this direction would possibly make you feel some kind of way. But bombing it with 1's and 0's simply because YOU personally didn't like it is stupid and beyond childish.

    And as for the extremely toxic "fans" and trolls **** on the game because Dina is Jewish, the lesbian romance, Abby's physique, and the fact that there's a young trans character in the game- you are all very simple, pathetic and hate filled people and no one needs to take you seriously.

    So in closing, it's okay if you didn't like the game's story. It might not be your cup of tea. But personally, as a massive fan of the first game, I enjoyed every second of it. I think the new characters are wonderful. I think they made huge improvements in gameplay over the first game. The graphics, models, facial animations (and animations in general), sound design and music are all simply breathtaking.

    It's a shame that there are some people leaving reviews here giving it a 10/10 that may not actually feel that way about the game in order to try and push out the review bomb. Personally though I think the 9.5 critic score is completely warranted. I enjoyed it that much.

That feel when you kill someone who has his own history and friends (Owen, Mel) and its not only NPC anymore is totally destroying me. I love it, I never played game like this, really. And end, when Ellie finally forgive herself and Joel and let Abby go is satisfying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece. You go into the game well knowing something devastating is coming your way. The game delivered that. It might not be what people wanted. But honestly there wouldn’t have been a part two if not for that event. The flashbacks the game has provide you with some of the most heartfelt and purest scenes. The INCREDIBLY details in gameplay the movement the flow from cutscene to gameplay once again. The upgrade system and work bench. Everything was looked after with so much care and detail. The thing that I probably love the most about this game is the relationship between Ellie and Dina, the chemistry the warmth in the most subtle of ways. And the fact the game never made use of the bury your gays trope. A trope that has been used so many times and is so damaging to the community. In fact they did the opposite. We get a taste of what it can be like. And what in my opinion is to come after the final shot in the game. I don’t think I’ll truly like Abby ever, I understand, but don’t agree. And even if it starts out of guilt her most redeeming quality is caring for the seraphite children. Lev is one of the purest characters I’ve ever met and in many ways reminds me of Ellie in the first game. I wanna say the acting and talent this game contains are out of this world. Everything comes across so well. The screams are felt in your bones. And scenes that are happy make you sob happy tears. The game is supposed to make you feel exhausted by the end of your search of revenge and you do. It plays on your mind for hours on end. But to me after that last Scene with joel. The game ends on a much lighter tone. One with hope and closure.… Expand

Joel knew he was a terrible human being in the past and murdered dozens of innocent people along with other evil people. He knew it was a long time coming. Abby is the female version of Joel. She has also killed ruthlessly with no remorse. This game is about ELLIE, ABBY and JOEL and there personal journey of losing everything they love because of their blind rage. This story was used to show us the cycle of violence and how it can literally tear entire societies and families apart. 10/10 for this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m one of the people who saw all the leaks, both true and false ones, and was completely turned off from buying the game. Not to mention the divisiveness of fans even after release. I didn’t want to tarnish my memory of the amazing first game.

    However, due to being bored because of the pandemic, and seeing most of the negative reviews from fans and Youtubers were based off not getting over Joel’s death and straight up bigotry, I decided to buy the game. The only 2 things I regret are looking at the leaks and not getting the Special Edition on launch day. This game is the greatest game I have ever played. So much so that when I heard about the review bombing happening to this game, I felt an obligation to make an account on here and give it my review.

    The technical side is pure perfection. This is a next-gen title on a 7 year old piece of hardware. Very little to no glitches at all during my 2 playthroughs of this game. My only complaints are that it’s 30fps and it’s pretty taxing on the PS4, so make sure to give it a clean before playing this amazing game. Graphics and animations are pretty life-like, both during gameplay and cutscenes. The acting is also top-notch. Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Troy Baker and Co. deserve all the awards for best performances in a video game. Along with the set design and the perfect direction of scenes, this game blew anything we’ve had ever outta the water.

    Gameplay is also amazing. If you loved the first TLOU’s gameplay, you’ll love this. The crafting has been expanded, the gameplay is a lot more smooth, stealth and combat is way more satisfying, human, stalker, and dog AI is a lot smarter, level design a lot better (best I’ve ever seen tbh) and the bigger variety of types of enemies really adds to the tension of the game. The Encounters here make the first game’s look like a walk in the park. Puzzles are a lot more complex than find the ladder/plank/pallet/dumpster too, so that’s neat, too.

    World building is a lot better now, too. There only 4 games where I pay close attention to the collectibles; TLOU, Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy, and this game. Remember the Ish notes from the first game? Now you have multiple interesting note “threads” throughout the game, such as Boris, Jules, and many more! The cards and coins also add to the characterization of Ellie and Abby, so it feels great collecting them too!

    Now, for the meat of this game, the story. If you don’t wanna read my whole review on it, just know that I think this is perhaps one of the greatest stories told in any medium, and will be a turning point for storytelling in video games. The story is very dark, and is about the cycle of violence and how tragedy can bring out the worst in people. The characters are extremely human in how they deal with these events. They don’t always make the most rational choices, but they choose to do what they do based on they’re own emotions, and this leads the 2 protagonists of this game, Ellie and Abby, to make grave decisions that doom themselves and the people around them. People tend to forget that to humanize a character isn’t just showing that they have fears, or that they have families and people they love, but also showing that they make morally questionable choices that make them seem like a bad person in other peoples‘ eyes. Doing so isn’t demonizing them, it’s showing how perspective can change EVERYTHING.

    Without spoiling to much, the parallels between Ellie and Abby, Abby and Joel, & Ellie and Lev are extremely well done. They are all truly 2 sides of the same coin. Empathy is the name of the game, and the moment I started to allow yourself to empathize with both sides, is the moment everything clicks. The moment I realized that Joel’s killers aren’t “evil” hunters, and are just as guilty/innocent as Ellie and co. by the end of the game, is the moment I realized this is something special. Ellie’s story is about her downfall, and Abby’s is about her redemption. Both have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

    It takes the first game’s moral ambiguity to a whole ‘nother level. There truly are no good or bad side. Save for the Rattlers, every faction has a protagonist or an ally to the player. this helps you see their perspective on the world and understand them.

    This write-up has gone on for too long, so I’m going to end it with this: BUY THIS GAME, and BUY IT AGAIN ON THE PS5. I cannot recommend it enough. Want a next-gen experience right now? Well, here it is. Just be ready to get you heart crushed, though, especially if you’re as invested in the world as I am. This is personal my best game of the generation and probably of all-time.

    Edit: Accessibility for the impaired in this game is something that should be an industry standard. So kudos to Naughty Dog leading the pack.    … Expand

    It is a sensational, impeccable game, better than practically all the games I have played in my life, ND and Sony are to be congratulated, what a work of art, a true masterpiece.

    The last of us 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, I seriously can't express how much I didn't want a sequel to it, and how worried I was leading up to TLOU2. After finishing it though, I can safely say I haven't felt this way about a game since last of us 1.

    The gameplay improvements at first seem rather small but each new addition builds on the last games mechanics in surprising and fun ways. Probably the biggest improvement over the first game is the level design, levels are much bigger with multiple ways to clear most areas and so much thought and detail had been put into the environment. The graphics and sound design are astounding.

    The story isn't quite as good as the first games (near perfect) story, but it is still such an amazing, rich, beautiful character driven story, and the fact that people are calling this game sad and depressing is genuinely shocking to me. Yes this game is dark at times but the struggle between the light and dark within both it's characters and plot is what makes this game so compelling.    … 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]
