    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not perfect, but despite pacing flaws, the game being a little overlong and some other nitpicks. It's a fantastic follow up both in game play design and story, expanding upon previously established characters brilliantly and introduces new compelling characters, both minor and major that make this game world feel so much more fleshed out and alive. Regarding the game play, if you've played the first game, you'll fit right back in and if you haven't (which you should), it's an over the shoulder first person shooter reminiscent of the RE2 remake. The game however also has a focus on stealth and scavenging and all three of these core components of game play work with each other brilliantly, creating a fluid combat system that keeps every fight engaging. With the addition of long grass and the ability to go prone creating a lot more room to approach encounters in different ways. With being stealthy not feeling tedious like most games fail do but instead feeling fun and satisfying. Another fantastic addition is the subtle personalities of enemies. While fighting people they will yell the names of fallen comrades once they are shot or scream in pain after an arm or leg has been shot, this makes the world feel so much more real. Switching the enemies from just mindless bots to actual people with personalities and feeling and this improves the game immensely, this being a trait in major villains as well as just casual enemies. Finally regarding design, the graphics and sound design are phenomenal. This game may be the best looking game out there with certain environments, especially ones in nature looking photo realistic. The sound design is also great with ambient sounds and the tense combat soundtrack really adding to the games overall emotion. The rest of this review will concern spoilers. So if you haven't played this game please do and keep an open mind. There are many negative reviews but I implore that you play it for yourself.

    SPOILERS
    This game has some major events in the story that haven't been received well by the vast majority of the community, the three parts I'll be talking about are Joel's death, playing as Abby and the ending. First we have Joel's death, personally I think this death was handled perfectly. Though many argue that Joel would've seen the ambush coming, due to him seeing one coming in the first game, the context surrounding these scenes are completely different. In the first game Joel knows about the ambush because he himself says that he had done that exact same tactic of ambush before. The game actually dedicates a huge character moment in the first game where he says how he used to perform that ambush on other people. In the scenario in this game, the characters in the lodge (excluding Abby who gives no reason to make her distrustful at this point to Joel, Tommy and the player) are not aware who Joel is. It's only when he says his name that there is any suspicion but he is shot in the leg and disarmed before he even has a chance to defend himself. As well as that, the game makes it clear through the dialogue that going to the lodge is the only choice, with the storm being too strong to go anywhere else, and with the infected pursuing them in such high numbers, they can't go anywhere else. Calling this death a betrayal of Joel's character is just flat out wrong. It's fine if you're upset about this, I was too, but don't judge the game poorly for something it didn't do. Secondly, the intention of segments where you play as Abby have been misjudged entirely. The point of these sections is not to make her likeable or sympathetic, they're to make her an actual person. The point of these scenes is to show that senseless killing Joel did in that hospital actually mattered, that killing a doctor simply trying to find a cure had consequences and that Joel's choice to save Ellie actually had repercussions. Naughty Dog aren't stupid, they know you aren't going to like Abby after she killed Joel, they aren't trying to, they're trying to show that villains in this story more complex than just good and bad, like in the real world. Which as a game that is meant to be realistic makes sense. Finally, the ending, people were mad that Ellie doesn't get to kill Abby because according to those who hate this ending, without Abby's death, Joel's death was pointless. While also stating that Ellie after killing all those soldiers should have no problem killing Abby. People has misinterpreted the ending entirely. hat moment when Ellie spares Abby, she’s thinking of how Joel said that he does not regret his actions that lead to his death, and that he would always save Ellie over himself. She let’s Abby go because she knows that Joel would be happy regardless of whether he lived or died, or whether Ellie killed Abby or not because Ellie getting out of that hospital and being able to live her life is all that mattered to him. It’s a beautiful ending if you stop and think about it.    … Expand

    I have literally no idea why anyone would hate this game. The story is FINE, maybe even better than Tlou 1.Gameplay is much better than the prevoius one and so are the graphics (obviously) plus the physics used is top notch (especially with the ropes swinging). I'm 100% sure most of the haters havent even played the game or are xbox/pc players getting angry because they dont get ro play this.

Сюжет не настолько плох как утверждает, очень громкое меньшинство, все намного лучше и красочнее. Игра удалась на славу!

    I do not understand, not the satisfaction of most people, personally my opinion after passing the game) I just let out a stingy tear at the end and got into the whole moral thing. You go from the very beginning with one awareness of revenge. But in the end you understand whether you need it now . Killing so many people, losing all their relatives .

Several years after the first game and we find ourselves with an older Ellie and Joel as they have moved forward with their lives since the events in the previous game. After some series of events, the characters (both new and old) are immersed into a narrative that is grounded in revenge and forgiveness. The amount of depth put into the story-telling and the character development is quite impressive and allows for meaningful and lasting story-telling for years to come. Many sequels struggle to best their prequel, but this is far from the case for The Last of Us 2 as it captures all that works for The Last of Us 1 and builds off of those elements while adding in additional elements to the games entirety that make it one of the best gaming experiences of our time.… Expand

It sounds like it ruined the game for a lot of people and I genuinely feel bad for them, to be honest.    Have to do my part to correct this score from the people who didn’t even play it.

    That said, I understand from playing the game what moments were probably controversial to people. They all worked for me though, and tied into what was established in the first game both story-wise and tonally. For those of you that played it all the way through and still hated it, I think you may have misinterpreted the original game and the message it was putting forward.

    Gameplay might be some of the best stealth/survival combat I’ve ever experienced. They took what worked in the first game and just perfected it. The open world segments were a wonderful addition as well.

    Graphics are by far the best we’ve seen this generation. If you told me this was a PS5 game, I’d believe you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers Ahead

    The Last of Us Part II meets or exceeds all the expectations set forth by the original title. The story line may not be 100% as tight or succinct as the original, but that's because it's far more complex in its narrative structure.

    The story in general terms is about the self-destructive nature of revenge, and an exploration of how (and if) cycles of violence and misunderstanding between different people can be broken.

    You initially follow Ellie as she follows Tommy on a likely-suicidal mission to avenge Joel's death at the hands of a surviving contingent of Fireflies. One by one she murders them, but each time she does she comes back changed. This slowly begins to poison her relationships with her remaining friends.

    Halfway through the game the POV changes. You are now one of the Fireflies. At first you reject this shift in perspective, having already decided that these people were scum and worthy of death. However, slowly but surely you are forced to recognize their humanity. And those actions that you previously took as Ellie start to look less and less badass and heroic. Instead, they start to look monstrous.

    In the ending scene, Ellie has lost several of her fingers and finds that she is no longer able to play the guitar song that Joel wrote for her.

    In her quest for revenge, she had killed the one part of Joel that had truly lived on through her -- his music.

    You realize that there was no real villain. Nobody was the hero. Everyone was the villain. Everyone was simply human, and flawed, and was wounded by violence, revenge and madness.

    If that's not an appropriate theme for 2020, I don't know what is.

    The people who are complaining "I didn't get to kill Abby. WTF???" let me say this unambiguously -- you completely missed the point of the story.

    The majority of negative user reviews here complaining about the story were written within hours of the titles release before anyone could have possibly finished it.

    So, who is review-bombing this game without playing it? They generally fall into three groups:

    1. People butt-hurt over the decision to kill off the previous main character, Joel. This was an excellent decision made by the writers. Why? Joel's character arc was finished. That's why. It was thoroughly explored in the first game. Furthermore, his death is the catalyst that spurs literally all of the events of the second game into motion. Though he is dead for most of the second game, he is still a main character in it. His presence, and absence, are keenly felt throughout the entire story. All I can say to these people is I'm glad they do not have control over the game's narrative, since it would have been all the worse for it.

    2. Douchebag culture warriors upset over the presence of homosexual characters. Perhaps they forget that there were heroic homosexual characters in the first game? Who cares, really, what these people think -- these are garbage people.

    3. People who don't understand good storytelling or can't deal with moral complexity. Sorry to say this, but the issue here is that you people are stupid. If you want unambiguous morality, post-apocalyptic fiction is not for you. Maybe try a JRPG or something where the bad guy is the main character's evil twin brother who wears a red eye patch. Let me also say unambiguously -- your opinion is trash. Thank god smarter people wrote this game.

    Other than that, graphics are excellent. Story is cohesive and interesting. The characters are some of the best I've seen in a video game. Gameplay is mostly excellent. Shootouts are visceral and terrifying. Violence is gratuitous. It's as close to perfect as I've seen a game come.

    I literally sat through like an hour of credits just to make sure there wasn't more to see.

    Ignore the conservative trolls. Ignore the people who ran out to talk **** about the game as soon as Joel's death was spoiled for them without playing it.

    For God's sake, play this game.

    Given that it's breaking records for daily users right now, I'm fairly certain that the negative reviews here are from a fringe minority.    … Expand

We can play as lovely Ellie and as Abby (she is the murder). So we can see situation from two hands. To be honest I hated this game from the beginning to the end. But after i saw the end, I understand what creators wanted to say. I recommend all people to play this game… Expand

Stupid of me, but I find them mostly forced and in there just for the PC likes. This is not the case in this game, I had just as much fun playing as the females in this game as I did playing Kratos or Arthur Morgan, they were **** brutal. The graphics are the best I’ve ever seen in a game. I am a PC gamer first and foremost, and this tops RDR2 for me in that department. Easily the best character animations in gaming, just unreal. You can tell the hours that went into this, it’s extremely polished from top to bottom.

    The story threw me throughout and I enjoyed the multiple character aspect, particularly how it played into the story. I won’t spoil but I liked this story more than the first Last of Us.

    Gameplay was sick, lots of variation on how you can attack the encounters throughout. Just such a brutal game, having just come from playing God of War I was not suspecting this to make me react more than that with how cool and just **** up some of the kill animations are in this, particularly when I died. All in all, having played games for 20+ years now this game would comfortably sit in my top 5 comfortably alongside Red Dead 1, Assassins Creed 2, God of War and Witcher 3.    … Expand

It's brutal, cruel, it tears your heart away and stomps it, and is really mature. The script writers puts You in the tight rope and plays with your feelings till the point of making You feel bad for your (or the characters) actions. But it removes your guts as any other game have ever made. So, It's not a game for everyone, It's not a game for people that wants a happy ending, and You have to stay cold till the very end to get all of this feelings together, but I think it totally deserves it.

    - the game length just feel right

    - only one tiny bug encountered throughout the entire game
    - unconventional story telling and bold decision made (which i like, what make a memorable game is it stir your emotion during the game, TLOU2 delivered that)

    Con
    - limited enemies type, all human enemies feel the same
    - Less puzzle solving
    - No challenging big boss
    - No replay value

    Neutral
    - repetitive gameplay (but which game is not?)
    - linear gameplay, no day night cycle (which I am fine)

    Some user said many plotholes, but i didn't find any. I personally think that RE2 remake has more plotholes.

    If there is no the last of us Part 1, this game's score would have been higher than 8.0. People giving it 0 is because they didn't like the story as much as TLOU1, which is a bias. i am okay with the story based on revenge, a lot of game/drama/series did that, it's nothing wrong with that. You don't like the story doesn't make it a bad game, it just disappoint you based on the high expectation you have.

It's probably the best story you'll ever see on a game. However, it is not for everybody. It's a really dark game, and it was meant to be like that. Naughty Dog clearly did not want to play it safe and went for something that was less appealing for some, but much more meaningful for the rest. I can see why some are mad about some of the major plot points, but just remember to keep and open mind. Focus on trying to feel what Ellie is feeling, instead of arguing about not liking what they did to a character. Enjoy the game!… Expand

My only gripes are that it's slightly too long, can still can be slightly repetitive, and AI can falter at times, but these are minor at worst. Otherwise, this is an absolute masterpiece of the medium. Incredible set pieces and boss fights, many of which will remind you of the best of the survival horror genre while standing head and shoulders above the rest. Much improved gameplay. The story is incredible, and the ending makes sense once you realize the only way Ellie can begin to forgive Joel is by ending the cycle of violence he and the Fireflies started. His death had to mean something different, as did Ellie's life. Characters are fantastic. Abby is great, and her entire arc makes sense once you understand her motivation. Joel was responsible for the deaths of millions. There are no heroes in this world, which is another theme that many missed. I cannot wait for the HBO show!… Expand

    Was a huge fan of the first game and have been on tenterhooks for this one. An hour in, the death of Joel instantly made my jaw drop, I was ready to hunt down the crew that did it. But then, you play the WLF's side of the game via Abby. I was not happy about this, but over the next 10 hours I realised how much i liked and was invested in her and her friends which then gave me a different perspective on the entire story so far.

    I won't blab on too much about the story but it's so worth playing until the end, it's dark, gross, upsetting but in some weird moments uplifting.

    -Starting the Last Of Us Part II 5/10 (Spoiler culture, race for views)
    -The fact that The Last Of Us Part should have not been made after Part I 5/10
    -Single player/no multi-player 3/10 (but multi-player from Part I gets longevity, sucks when servers shut down)
    -Graphics 10/10 (Realistic hair, even when shaved, foliage)
    -Sound 10/10
    -Accessibility 100/100
    -Encounters Mode 8/10
    -Pace/game design 10/10 (copy/paste from Part I)

    Whats expected from a seven year hiatus:

    -Character introductions/reintroduction 7.5/10 (It's a SEQUEL)
    -Character development 9/10 (Its the novelty of the Last Of Us)
    -Plot 10/10 (Its a SEQUEL in a supposed trilogy ["hoping for more than 3"])
    -Story-telling 10/10 (People will say that some sequences were too long, I have an idea of where subsequent installments might be going, so the drudgery of these long sequences need to and had to establish motif)
    -Game mechanics 100/100 The narration of the story dictates the mechanics i.e. the pacing, level design, enemy lay out (they even have Encounters Mode), difficulty controls (how the hell did that get a 4.3/10), interface/character skills and progression is bare, sub-par (Last Of Us novelty, beautiful), all around immersion. Audiences would express an indifference in the narration, especially the flash back and memory sequences, as it may seem like its disconnected and fractured, but it portrays what the characters are going through, to drive their motivations. It's the same portrayal that fan-fare demands in resemblance in video gaming services that might have, in fact, directed the production of this game. But the Last Of Us Part II establishes its own motives that even Naughty Dog won't/can't claim as a motif, as reception of this story driven piece was naturally going to cause a rift in the narratives that would accompany game scores.
    -Cult tropes 5/10 (I get it, whatever)
    -Trailers 3/10 (But I get the whole fiasco of it)
    -Spoiler culture 1/10
    -"Golf" scene 0/10
    -Conclusion (of a SEQUEL) 10/10
    ----Character choices 8/10 (tropes in functionality)

    After playing Last Of Us Part II 100/100 (For a SEQUEL, its the best made)
    But as much as I love video games, I'm more a casual gamer:

    Over-all score: 95/100

While there are a few weak points in the narrative, Naughty Dog raised the bar how the medium of gaming can be used to tell a story in ways film and literature cannot. Part II is an epic lesson on the costs of revenge, the tribalism it creates, and the endless cycle of violence that comes from an inability to move forward when faced with trauma and loss on a personal and communal level. The typical plot devices used to rationalize violence against opposing factions present in most games including Part I are upended by making your enemies all too human. Every person you kill in the game has a name, which makes the act increasingly distasteful as you progress through the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLoU2 improves on every aspect of its predecessor. Even though I love Joel and Ellie, ND successfully got me to empathize with Abby on a deep level. You feel for both sets of characters. You understand their motivations. While the overall theme of the game is an old one, it is delivered well. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and you feel that chill in Ellie; right up until the very end when she has lost everything. I even found myself almost rooting for Abby in the fight against Ellie in the theater. You play as Ellie, who was spared, slaughtering countless WLF on your path to revenge. It takes a particular mind to not stop and say "this seems like an unmeasured response." Gameplay-wise the game has improved by leaps and bounds. The upgrades are more fleshed out, combat is more visceral an intense. The enemies are far more varied as well. If you see larger human-type enemies, it usually takes more bullets or brute force to take them down; as it should. One small feature I enjoyed were the segments when you had to use ropes. It's a small thing, but it was neat. The open level design at the beginning of Seattle was perfect. I really cant rave enough about this game. For those who loved the original and are disappointed with the change of characters, I would point you to MGS2. People HATED Raiden when the game first dropped. Years later, its regarded as a masterpiece. The games are very different, but the use of changing characters as a gameplay element and plot device is largely the same. Keep an open mind and try to empathize with Abby, as well as her and Ellie's motivations and intentions and I bet in no time you will realize the true depth of this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game with a great story, The gameplay did not really change from uncharted 4, its the sme type of hide and seek combat, but on higher difficulties it's a real blast to play, because you actually have to use all these gears and navigate trough the map. The graphics are amazing of course, i feel like i dont even have to say this at this point. From a technical standpoint, it's objectively one of the best games ever made. Now, the Story is much more subjective, but honestly, I really enjoyed it.

    SPOILERS
    Ellies and Abby's story are two acts of the same path told with two different characters and I think it's a great idea well executed. Ellie's is a story of misguided anger and blind vengance. When we switch to Abby's perspective, her revenge is over and we see that she is still not satisfied and her friends give her **** about the brutal killing of Joel. Her side is a story about redemption and it heavily paralels Joels journey from the first game. I disagree with the common argument that Joel's death was shock value. That would mean that it meant nothing, but that is just simply not true. Its a vital part of both characters journey and serves as the catalyst of the story.

    A lot of people say that the order of events is poorly constructed and we should've seen Abby's side before she kills Joel, but in my opinion that wouldnt work, because for the first part of the game to work we have to feel the same blind anger that ellie feels.
    At first I was really annoyed that I have to play as Abby, but they managed to humanize her enough for me to like her.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. The storytelling is on a different level. If are looking for real, relatable and complex characters, this is as good as it gets. Do yourself a favour and play this game, it will challenge your thinking.

    Bruh bruh bruh bruh :D
    I liked the game, the graphics are very expressive, the game has had a great ego with violence, I love that the game is like this, a fight between two female characters in which, there is no definition for "protagonist or antagonist" . In any case, people complain about the story, to me, it is not that the story is not to my liking, but there are scenes that are somewhat excessive. I love the game, the graphics are so realistic and everything in general TOO SHOCKING, especially the ending between the Ellie and Abby fight, that feeling of the player when he doesn't know if there is revenge or mercy. Joel's death was the most shocking, angry and sad part of the game. Summary:

    The flashbacks did not fit me much, but the emotions and expressions of each scene were too good. This game is literally just as worthy as a movie, it deserved much more when it came to putting the puzzle pieces together a little more. But the history was cool.

    -Characters: 9 / 10 I love the characters, and even the supporting characters have a good role in the cutscenes. Most of them are good characters and the actors who star in them are very good at emphasizing and performing their roles as characters. I remember the emotional scene when Ellie realizes that Joel lied to her about the cure and Joel tells her the truth, making the Ellie actress play the role of her getting sentimental and angry at Joel. Although this score could be better
    Best characters 4 me: Ellie, Joel, Tommy, Abby and Dina. Dogs too
    The infected are 100% amazing.

    -(The NPC's are okay 8/10)

    Art: 10/10 amazing

    -Narrative: 8/10.

    -Graphics: 10/10 EPIC -
    Cutscenes: 7/10 May i said that cutscenes were cool, but in case... meh xd well, the animation and acting were nice. Good job.

    -Music: 9.5 / 10
    Knowing that Gustavo Santaolalla makes these great soundtracks ... nothing more. Although the music of the first part of the game is somewhat better. The sequel's music has good vibes and good effect sounds, the songs are great for the game's soundtrack. Loved the design audio.

    Accesibility: 10/10.

    -Experience: 9/10 It is as if I were in a movie, a lot of tension and impression, we were all surprised at all times. -Fight: 10/10 It is the best thing that they improved from the TLoU saga, the sequel stands out for the battles and fights that are PERFECT and very well carried out. Those hits, shots, movements, details in battles ... beastly. -My expectation of this game was much more than positive a few months ago, in the trailer there were a couple of XD image tricks, but I was already expecting something like this, that the trailer did not have much to do with the game, many people had thought that Dina would be lost and would die, however we all know that it was poor Joel ... although several of his actions were unethical ... and well, any NPC from the hospital that Joel killed was Abby's father, because Abby he finally finished off Joel with a golf club in front of his stepdaughter Ellie and brother Tommy. This game have got a lot of action and adventure.

    -Let Joel rest in peace, and hopefully he meets Sarah that she will be waiting for him ... 8 or 9/10 score, my honestly opinion.

    And that's because, THIS IS IMPORTANT = try to beat the demons, I mean, Ellie and Abby are pissed off and very angry inside. So much so that when they think of nothing or dream. It is not about revenge, but about dealing with your negative thoughts.

    Ellie: Think of Joel being tortured or looking dead, when she does bad things, it also implies that she gets madder and kills more. In the end she sees Joel with the guitar alive in an image flashback because she already knows that it is not necessary to kill Abby because she has already faced her demons. She doesn't need at the final chapter, the guitar or anything from Joel, she faced the reality and now she lost everything for any cost. In tlou 3, i hope she will be a better person.

    Abby: Joel killed her father. She had nightmares every night that she couldn't save her father. She killed Joel, thinking that if she killed him, she would have no more nightmares and ... ERROR, Abby had worse. Later she meets Lev, and since her group of "wolves" do not accept her, Abby will do everything to protect Lev, since Abby loses friends on the way, only Lev will be with her. From there she found someone and had no more nightmares.

    Beat Your demons. Do not revenge. You will be better.

    Everything it's not black or white, it could be grey.

    A lot of text, right?

    Well, i loved this game, even better than june 2020. Now, 2021 i would give a 9.
    Cuz' in 2020 i said 7 or 8
    But now a 9.

    Everything it's amazing.
    Waiting for tlou 2 multiplayer and HBO serie.

    Ellie it's the best

    Obra maestra! Impresionante apartado técnico y de diseño, sonido de 10, buena jugabilidad y una historia para gente madura en la que no hay blanco ni negro sino gris como en la vida real. Se aleja de las típicas historias basura con final feliz a la que nos tienen acostumbrados en los videojuegos y el cine.

    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]
