    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not a paid actor (unlike these review-bombers) and am really enjoying the game. The story is one of the best parts and the gameplay is more refined from the first game. Joel was gonna die one way or another and all of you should've known that. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutly adored this game and wish it never ended.

    The 7 year wait was well worth it for me. The story is heart wrenching and does a brilliant job of quite literally showing two sides of the story. It also shed light on our own biases, as fans of the first game probably found themselves rooting for Ellie even though she isn't necessarily the good guy in this tale (there probably wasn't one. Maybe Lev.)

    The graphics and worlds are so gorgeous and immersive, and the game mechanics are sufficient albeit maybe a little aged.

    I am so frustrated at the 0 scores on here. There is no conceivable way that this game deserves those user reviews, even if people didn't find the story enjoyable - the world and graphics are enough to warrant a couple points.

    From the level design and graphical fidelity, to the characters and world-building, The Last of Us Part 2 is clearly the work of a team at the top of the game. And like very few teams at the top, Naughty is willing to take risks with their beloved IP. Those risks heightened my experience.

    The craftsmanship of this game is undeniable. I spent countless hours completely swept up in this world, using the quiet moments to take in all of the detailed notes and architecture. Exploring is always rewarded with extra narrative moments and crafting opportunities. And once I found myself in combat, my focus was entirely commanded in an effort to save my character.

    The story is amazing. Much like the world, it's sprawling; covering ground and characters from multiple places and times. There are a few moments where it almost crumbles under the weight of its ambition, yet it doesn't. And those moments where you feel that ping of uncertainty or skepticism disappear immediately after you consider the larger context.

    Moment to moment, this game is a whirlwind. Overall, it’s a contemplation into who these characters are, what this game can be, and how this medium fits within the world at large.

    I absolutely loved this game.

I enjoyed the game a lot, as well as the characters and the story*, and how Ellie and the other characters discovered more about themselves and changed as people as the story went on. However, the only negative I see is the dreadful pacing. Other than that, the gameplay is phenomenally brutal and satisfying, moreso than the first The Last of Us, and it CARRIES this game. (I play on Survivor so the AI is a bit more human and challenging, since they’re kind of dumb on moderate difficulty) On moderate things can get too easy and bland. I strongly recommend the challenge of Survivor difficulty. I am definitely going back for a second playthrough Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you like the game mechanics of the first one you will definitely like the new installment.The world building, graphics and attention to detail is unlike anything i have ever seen. I would have preferred if the story was taken in a different direction than just a revenge quest but what we got i felt wasnt as bad as its conveyed by so many other reviewers. This game is divided into two characters and they both are playable characters (Abby and Ellie). I believe that Ellie's section f the game could have used better characters and more scripted action sequences or a more layered objectives rather than just going to a destination to find a person. As much as i hated Abby for killing Joel, her section of the gameplay was much more interesting than Ellie's as i found Lev and yara
    to be better side charactrers than Jesse and Dina. Even the gameplay segments were very unique and clever as opposed to Ellies gameplay run. The entire game made me uncomfortable several times but not for its brutality but for having to play as the person who killed one of the most beloved character in gaming world. However i deeply enjoyed every aspect of the game. The emotions were thoroughly delivered. the voice acting and the cut scenes were phenominal.The story is bold and divisive but not extremely bad. It sure has its flaws but it is still worth enjoying this amazing experience.

I decided to purchase this game anyway and I’m glad I did. I have played it beginning to end, and I feel it rates a 10, as I feel it is a masterpiece and a game I will replay for years to come, just as I did with the first one. I do understand why fans are upset, but I would recommend to anyone on the fence about this game to play through it once with an open mind. It ties in well with the first game and I ended up liking all (well, almost all) of the new characters. It did upset me terribly to see what eventually happened to characters I loved from the first game, but I understand why the tragedies that befell them happened in the manner that they did. This is a harsh and unforgiving world where there is a reaction to every action and the line between good and bad is blurred repeatedly. Does this game have a political agenda informed by a feminist, gay, trans, woke agenda? Sure. Does that bother me? In some ways yes and in some ways no. Did they kill off one of my all-time favorite characters who happens to be the antithesis of all those things? Yes and graphically. Was I happy with all the narrative choices Naughty Dog made? No. But this is a damn good game with a damn good story and I enjoyed it immensely because it made me feel a wide array of emotions, and, simply put, it entertained me. For $59.99, that’s a good deal to me. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, let me say this game is decisive when it comes to the player base. That can be seen from the reviews alone. But for the open-minded, this game breaks beyond the mold that is storytelling in video games. By the end of the game I had gone through so many emotions. I had laughed and cried along with the characters. Every death, whether it be Joel, Jesse, or the suspected death of Tommy, literally had me putting my hand on my mouth in fear and melancholy. The character development, and storytelling that is done without dialogue (such as reading Ellie’s journal) is phenomenal, and the average player wouldn’t even know it was there. The player that goes the extra mile and reads the small things like that will truly appreciate the story. Let me get on to one of the biggest “upsets” for the game, the ending. At the end of the game, you fight Abby who is the woman who killed Joel and Jesse. During this fight, Abby’s surrogate son “Lev” is injured and unconscious in a boat nearby. Ellie beats Abby and is holding her underwater, on the verge of drowning her. It’s during this brutal cutscene, that you see a very short flashback of Joel on his porch, picking away at his guitar. Ellie then gets off of Abby and tells her to take the boat and leave. I think so many players despised this ending for Abby, because they were so focused on the perspective of Joel and Ellie. Just like Ellie at the beginning of the game, they were blind with hatred and wanting revenge, no matter the cost. I believe that the flashback serves as Ellie remembering what Joel meant to her. She didn’t want anyone to feel the pain she felt by losing a parent figure, So Ellie lets Abby go. I won’t speak on the rest of the ending because it is so masterfully crafted and moving that you really should experience for yourself. Any fan of the first game is going to feel a deep sense of closure when you hear that credit soundtrack. This game has changed the way I will forever see storytelling. Another masterpiece and my new favorite game, all thanks to Naughty Dog. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is really hard to believe that this game is receiving such a hate mob. There really are only two reasons people are so upset with this game:
    1. Joel's Death
    2. Ellie has a girlfriend/Abby is a very muscular woman who was rumored to be trans... uhhhh maybe her sex scene with Owen will scare away all the alt-right bloggers for at least ten seconds or so

    First off I would like to say that if Joel dying automatically ruins the whole game for you and that you feel the need to write a negative review even before beating the game, which it appears thousands have, then I do not think you understand the harsh reality of the Last of Us Universe and more importantly the fact that this is all about ELLIE. Joel is not Master Chief or Superman. He is very mortal in a universe that is dangerous and **** up. Characters are more than good or evil. They are complicated like actual human beings, so when Abby kills Joel because he killed her dad and the Fireflies. You should understand that Joel wasn't necessarily a perfect person and his death was justifiable to Abby. If you think the death of your favorite character from the previous game ruins the game for you then stay on Xbox where Master Chief and Marcus Fenix always live. This entire game is about Ellie's journey essentially as Joel's daughter. She learns from her father's past mistakes and is in the process of forgiving him for what he's done along the way. Instead of blood-crazed revenge she lets Abby live at the end because she understands that Abby isn't some awful terrible person. Abby wanted revenge for her dad's death, and Ellie's ENTIRE story is literally her seeking revenge for Joel's (her father figure) death. They are the same people on opposite sides. Ellie realizes this, and that revenge is not the way to gain closure. People hate the fact the Joel died and they hate even more that the person who killed him isn't some cool mega-villain. Instead it is a complex person. The writing and set-up for all of this is perfect, and just because portions of it were leaked by some **** doesn't change that.

    Now, the bane of all conservatives enters the fray. Gay couples. If Joel shacked up with some woman nobody would say anything, but you better believe that when a gay couple is in a video game it is "agenda's being shoved down our throats." Grow up guys. It is called love and it is excellently portrayed here. Ellie's relationship with Gina is so heartwarming and at the end when it seems to be over it is devastating. Sadly, we live in a world that dismiss the game as soon as themes such as gay relationships enter the picture and that is incredibly sad.

    Lastly addressing another concern I see for this game, Abby. A lot of hate from the leaks were poured onto Abby's character because she killed Joel and is muscular so people assumed she was trans. She literally **** a guy in the game so people hating on that should actually play the game. I understand not liking Abby for torturing Joel. Everyone loved Joel. It was why his death summoned every high-schooler to there metacritc account to write a scathing review about the game's poor writing. "You can't kill Joel we love him!" The unique and amazing thing the Last of Us 2 does is give you a large chunk of game where you play as Abby, and develop alongside her. Abby's character arc is such a great parallel to Ellie's. I really would like you to dig deep in what both protagonists have learned by the endgame, and see how much they have changed. Abby is a great character who was given too much hate for murdering Joel and possibly being trans (There are a lot of people who hate that I guess.) The idea that having gay characters makes it pandering to a certain crowd btw is absolutely stupid. This is life and people can love whom they choose. Especially in a **** apocalypse.

    This game is a graphical masterpiece with an amazing soundtrack and terrific writing. Sadly, due to Joel's death and the divisiveness of views on LGBTQ relationships, the Last of Us Part II is being unfairly buried. This game is a perfect story that makes you want to laugh and cry, and it has many hard pounding sequences along the way. I implore anyone who loved the first game to play this. because This is a story of love and empathy.

    TLoU2 boasts a complex story that takes Ellie on a struggle to put meaning to her own existence that sees her fighting through the infected, a paramilitary force, religious zealots, amazing environments, her own demons, and sadly a bunch of real world bigots. Yeah, there's some gay stuff in it - Ellie's gay. If this offends you, well that's on you. Gay people are real, get over it. The Last of Us Part II is incredible. The visuals, gameplay, adventure and story are second to only one. The Last of Is Part I is the best game of all time. Part II does not dethrone the king, but eff - it comes pretty close.
