The characters are well written and each has their own motivations. The narrative is driven forward in organic and impactful ways. The gameplay has improved upon what was existing and added in new options for combat. When I booted up the game for the first time I like many others was on the lookout for virtue signalling and after all the hours I have put into the game I can safely say they appear in either very minor capacities or not at all. TLOU 2 is a fantastic continuation of the first game and touches on the adage 'an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind'. Only negative I can speak to is the cutscenes feel long at times and now that I'm on the final stretch of gameplay I'm anxious to see it resolved. Expand

    Tired of the hate and review bombing - this game is as good as the reviews say it is. These fools either are homophobic or can't get over that their views are hypocritical. There is very little separating the actions of any of these characters. Don't buy the hate and miss out on something incredibly ambitious and special.

    Tlou2 is a very strong emotionally driven game with indepth detail of the characters story. No punches are held back when it comes to shock value that happens in a split second and raw emotion portrayed at its finest and darkest.

    It's not a perfect game but it's the best game I ever played. When story told in game/book/video can torn you apart leave you speechless and brokenhearted, when you feel joy and sadness and later you hate creators because they engage you emotionally and later when you have been vulnerable give you a blow... It's always 10.

    Tecnicamente é o pináculo desta geração em todos os quesitos. Possivelmente os melhores gráficos desta geração, efeitos sonoros incríveis, level design para lá do esperado e uma evolução bastante notável em relação ao seu antecessor.
    A gameplay melhorou bastante, corrigindo os pequenos problemas que o 1° tinha e inserindo nibas mecânicas que apesar de parecerem simples ao início, mudam completamente a experiência. Vale ressaltar que os espaços são muito mais amplos e incentivam muito mais à exploração. As áreas de combate também estão muito melhor construidas, transmitindo um realismi enorme.
    Com relação à narrativa: OBRIGADO NAUGHTY DOG! Uma narrativa poderosa e que merece ser experenciada e compreendida por todos.

    I really have to say that I love this game. I don’t see the problems others have with it. To me this is a well written and well played game. Visually it is stunning probably the best looking game I have played. Naughty Dog deserves praise for putting this game together the way they did. Loved the first game and I have the same love for this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How far your willing to go for revenge? Ellie & Abby story for revenge was gripping at my heart strings from beginning to end. Those that helped in their quest for revenge got what came to them. Most of them died but that those who survived in the journey are forever marked by that experience. A lesson learned that for those who wish to walk that road. Ask yourself... Are you willing to sacrifice your loved ones and innocent bystanders to get what you want? Ellie learned at the end of the day, with all that blood in her hands it wasn't worth it anymore.
    Personally Abby should have died but she did suffered enough at the end when her friends and lover died... her body was also tortured and abused then left to bake in the sun. Thinking about Lev as well as his actions... loses and torture throughout the story. Abby was the only person he has in this life. Should ellie take that from him? Would she or even Joel be ok with all this? Hard to say but in my gut I knew killing abby wasn't the answer.

    Story aside I loved the puzzles, safe cracking solving, scenery and graphics! The game is very beautiful and polished. 10/10 a very thought provoking game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the next step for the medium. It’s storytelling surpassed most books and movies these days - you care about the characters, you understand what they are doing. You feel the pain. It’s beyond anything a videogame ever did!

    ND did almost the same with Uncharted - I remember how I feared for Nate during the last couple hours of U4. But TLOU - as a series, it’s the most adult storytelling you‘ll find in a game to date. This shows, what the medium is capable of.

    The ending left me in tears.

    Not to mention the technological excellent the game is made of. It looks so incredibly good...you have to see and hear it.

    I promise you, it’s not the overhyped game, a lot of people think it is. It’s a real masterpiece.
    Take the ride, you won’t regret it. Even if it’s hard to swallow all the violence especially towards the end. It’s worth to get through it.

    I am so happy, a studio like ND exists. So curious to see, what they’re gonna do on PS5.

    BTW...@metacritic: please get rid of the fake reviews. Most of them look like bots. Nobody was able to finish the game on the same day of its release.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just incredible. The gameplay is improved over the first game in every conceivable way. Stealth is difficult but rewarding. Guns are varied and customisable. Hand to hand combat is more involved and manages to replace most QTEs with something that feels more like gameplay.

    The graphics are out of this world. I was wondering whether I needed to wait for the PS5 for the game to look good enough, but the PS4 looks every bit as good as the E3 trailers, just with lower resolution, some aliasing and dithering artifacts, and some slightly nauseating effect while panning the camera quickly (temporal upsampling artifacts maybe?). Still worth it for the amazing detail on characters and environments.

    The story has upset some people (spoiler time) but I liked it. The game feels like a hopeless cycle of murder and revenge, but doesn't feel repetitive by the end. It was always building towards something, but not quite what I wanted. (Full spoilers time) Abby is a better person than Ellie and I kind of wish Abby had killed her. I cared about Abby and her friends, I cared about Dina and Jesse. I understood where Ellie was coming from.

    I empathized with all of them (especially Yara and Lev). I chose my side, you can choose yours, but Naughty Dog's portrayal of humans doing human things is top notch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the fact that so many of these reviews are 0/10, and that it got review bombed with 0/10 keyboard smash reviews right at the hour it was released just goes to show how whiny gamers are. Sure you might not like the game, but it’s clearly not a 0/10. Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of legitimate criticisms to the game but there are tons of illegitimate, petty ones too. Of course the game isn’t perfect: it’s constantly bleak with few moments of levity, it’s endlessly violent, and it transforms a girl we knew as a beacon of hope into a revenge driven slaughtering machine. But I hate to break it to people: the world these games take place in is constantly bleak. It’s endlessly violent. And Ellie goes through this transformation to mirror Abby; a girl who had her father and community slaughtered by Joel. By US as the player. It might make people upset, and as tragic as it was, it makes sense to me that Joel’s actions caught up to him. And again, it might make people upset, but it makes sense to me that in the end Ellie lets Abby go. I think it shows a lot about her character and that somewhere in there she still has that goodness that we see in the first game. Ellie knows that this is the woman who killed her surrogate father. But she also sees that Abby has become a surrogate mother for Lev, and chooses to make her peace and break the cycle of violence and revenge. I’ll finish by saying that I definitely enjoyed the first game more. But that doesn’t mean this is a bad game: not in the slightest. As the user rating begins to rise (since people who have actually played the game and not peeked at spoilers online are starting to leave their thoughts), I think we’ll begin to see proof that while the irrational negativity of the members of the video game community is often relentlessly, impossibly loud, once they quiet down, it opens up the room for actual conversation, which I’m eager to see. P.S. stop being dicks to the actors that were in the game. You might hate it but they had nothing to do with the writing. Expand

The fact that they could do this much on 6 year old hardware is incredible, and the dev team deserves all the commendation in the world for their feat. The game play is similarly fantastic, and I enjoy the slitting of throats and destruction of femurs with shotgun shells more than I'd care to admit.

    However, neither of these are the controversial aspect of the game. The narrative direction has pissed a lot of people off, to say the least. Some are justified, but most of the negative reviews you see here are something along the lines of "they don't respect the characters." I can't really elaborate further without spoilers. Personally, I loved the way the plot progressed, because it felt like I was in the pages of a gripping novel, the kind that you can't put down. That's the best way to think about this game, as a novel. Tension ratchets up and simmers off and ratchets up again. It's messy, the objective you start out with is never achieved. It's frustrating. In that way, I think it emulates real life far better than the first game, which is decidedly more movie-like. If you don't like reading, you're probably going to struggle with this story. It isn't for everyone.

    This game has grown on me in the weeks since completion, and I have a great respect for Naughty Dog pushing the bounds of storytelling in video games. There are issues that I have with the game; enough to knock it down to a nine in fact. However, if you own a PS4, do yourself a favor and buy this wonderful mess.

I couldn’t describe what I felt throughout playing the game, I loved it, but I was extremely sad too. I started caring about Abby, who I hated for what she did to Joel. How we see her side of the story is something I did not like in the beginning, but throughout the game having played as her, I felt such empathy for what was first a villain. Ellie wanted revenge, but the path of revenge is an endless one. She became what she was hunting. And in the end it was all not worth it. She became selfish and lost what she had built, ending up alone. Only to wonder where she will end up.. This game is a masterpiece in all aspects. Expand

    Vivimos en la era de los ofendiditos, de la gente con piel de terciopelo y de la gente amargada por el mundo como si llevase un palo metido en el culo.
    Grandes personajes, me enamoré de todos los personajes nuevos, especialmente de ABBY Y DINA, sufrí por la muerte de Joel y de la perrita ALICE, Ellie me dejó bastante indiferente, pero todo UN JUEGAZO. Tiene mi 10 y porque no puedo ponerle más.
    La historia es espectacular, yo no vi ningún spoiler y todo me pilló de sorpresa, la muerte de Joel no me la creí hasta que vi su tumba y su casa llena de flores, me hizo llorar, me hizo odiar a Abby y a los Lobos de manera increíble, y por supuesto, después, tragarme mis propias palabras de odio cuando empecé a conocer la historia de Abby y darme cuenta que no son ni malos, ni buenos, son supervivientes, que todos tienen padres, madres, hermanos, amigos incluso aman a sus mascotas, por mucho que estas estén entrenadas para combatir y exponerse a muerte segura y es algo que hicieron aquí a posta al contrario que en su primera entrega, exponerte claramente que todos tienen su historia, no como el primero que anularon eso y ves como claramente el grupo de David son malos, son caníbales y demás cosas que te dan a entender, pero porque esta hecho así a posta, para que tengas claro quién es el bueno y el malo y estés acomodado sin un duelo interno emocional, también te das cuenta de las desigualdades que sufren ambas protagonistas en la segunda entrega y cuando estás con Ellie piensas que bien montado tienen el pueblo con sus viveros sus tiendas, sus bares y provisiones aún siendo escasas y aún teniendo a un homófobo mesero intolerante. Pero cuando manejas a Abby es cuando realmente te das cuenta de la superioridad de Los Lobos en todo prácticamente, tanto en la comunidad, como el lugar donde viven (un jodido estadio) como por supuesto en la milicia.
    Me dejaré muchas más cosas.
    Si claro no es nada progre que en primer juego haya dos lesbianas: Ellie y Riley, también un gai: Bill (el amigo de Joel) que la mitad de los personajes importantes sean personas de color: Marlene, Henry, Sam y Riley, que decidieran crear personajes femeninos independientes, fuertes y con liderazgo: Tess, María, Marlene y esta última como he dicho antes no solo es persona de color si no también líder de los luciérnagas. Que además en aquel entonces fueron (junto con Assassins Creed Syndicate) ser de los primeros juegos en incluir npcs femeninos tanto de soldados random como de infectados en este tipo de juegos. Si claro, pero el SEGUNDO JUEGO TODO ESTO ES UNA LOCURAAAAA.

You may become enraged at times or suffer from a broken heart, but any story that can make you feel that way deserves maybe a little attention. We get to see two characters filled with rage and despair who see each other as pure evil, and start to see their actions weigh heavily on them.
    Pacing off? Oh definitely! This story could have flowed a lot more smoothly. But I'm definitely glad at most of the story/information being given. Abby could of done with a lot more building up and background to start off her side of the story.
    Beautiful graphics and world? HELL YES! So many small details and plenty of info around to pull us into the world! It was a long game, it left me winded and just waiting for the end at a certain point. On the contrary, now that it's been a couple days since finishing, I'm actually trying to psych myself up to go back into it on plus mode. I'm not looking forward to certain parts, but I really enjoyed the game overall.i know I'm going against popular opinion here, so who am I to say to play it?

But never ever with a game... Until I played The Last of Us Part II. For the first time I left the game feeling I just experienced something that was bigger than me.

    The game-play, graphics, and all that jazz is obviously great. That it's a work of love is clearly evident in its focus on detail. But that's not the source of my experience.

    The source of my experience is in the story. So beautifully tragic, so sad, so bittersweet. I don't think a shooter game has ever been so explicit and clear on the consequences of violence. The game goes to pains to make it clear that the people you're killing, even the ones robbed of their humanity through an infection, have a story. They were people with family and friends. They had aspirations and dreams and also yearned for life. And all of that has been wastefully lost. Even those surviving are losing. Violence begets more violence. Revenge breeds more revenge. The consequences are laid bare. All the potential for peace, happiness, greatness is thoroughly lost.

    I can fully understand where a lot of the negativity for this game is coming from. This is a game not aimed for those looking for some easy escapism, which is something we all need in these days. This is a game that makes a lot of demands from those who play it. When the first Last of Us came out, the world was a different place. The first game was good for escapism and it garnered a lot of love from people who at the time got that escapism from it. I'm guessing a lot of these people were hoping for some mindless fun (a crucial thing in these days) and when they didn't get that from their beloved game, they were understandably disappointed and even angry. I just hope that one day all those giving this game such negative reviews consider stepping away and come back and revisit it with no expectations. That they'll take the game for what it is: A very violent game that ends up being against violence and makes you feel like you experienced something bigger than yourself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I finished Last of Us Part 2 and I can't sleep. Like so many others I have too many thoughts and emotions in my head swirling right now and I think I understand the outrage and need to get my thoughts down. This is going to be long but I will avoid spoilers. To summarize: play this game at your own risk after playing the first one which can be traumatizing in its own right.

    So lets start by setting aside the bigoted alt right movement who are attacking this game for similar reasons as Captain Marvel (yes LGBTQ characters make out and have sex in the game get over it).

    Next point is that the original Last of Us came at a time when multi-player games and apocalyptic stories flooded the market. It changed how stories can be told in not just video games but movies. One could argue that several beloved movies such as Logan, Quiet Place, John Wick, Bird Box and many others wouldn't exist without it's inspiration. Same could be said for critically acclaimed story games like the new God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4, and even Spiderman PS4.

    So obviously this franchise resonates with people and while people are criticizing the story for not having a point they are also criticizing it for having a political agenda. Neither are true. The directors and creators of this game said four years ago that making people uncomfortable was going to be the point of this game. They knew what they were doing. They knew people would be triggered. I think a lot of people are mad that they are feeling all these mixed emotions but they don't understand the deep psychological reasons why or dont have the self awareness to process these emotions due to the avoidance tendency modern society has created due to political, religious, and mental health issues as it makes them uncomfortable. On top of that the timing of this game is impeccable. Right during a pandemic where humanity and society is splitting itself apart.

    This game is not positive vibes. This game is not the same type of fun like Naughty Dogs other franchise Uncharted. There is no winning in this game. One could argue it is not a game because of these traits. I'd agree. It's an experience. This game made me have a panic attack. It caused me extreme anxiety. Great, both me and the character have PTSD. This game was visually the most beautiful game I've ever played but also the most horrifc game I've ever seen. No it's not fun to have to shove a knife through a dogs throat because its about to tear your throat open and hear it whimper as it bleeds out. How the hell did I kill 10 people with 2 bullets and a empty beer bottle? Ah **** that guys name was Jimmy? Sorry I guess. I cant hear a clicking sound or a whistle right now without having my heart skip a beat. I am numb. I am hurt.
    Traveling through Wyoming, Seattle, Santa Barbra, and more is breathtaking. What would I sacrifice for love? What would you sacrifice to survive? God I love dinosaurs. Can I play Hotel California on the guitar? Holy **** I can.

    Right and wrong is all about perspective. Think for yourself. There is no such thing as good and evil. Humanity is horrible. This game may not be a 10/10 like the original. But I'd still give it an 9/10. Sometimes there is no meaning in death, sometimes it is unavoidable. Yes this game is painful.

    Yes this game can be traumatizing but it's also beautiful. The longer time goes on I think the more people will appreciate this game. It is unforgettable. Things don't always go the way you want. Sometimes being a better person is not in your own self interest. At some point enough pain will break you. Sometimes the person you love is in the wrong and the person you hate is just reminding you of the person in the mirror.

    A game about the apocalypse without a fairy tale diseny ending does NOT mean it's a bad or a garbage game. For those who criticise the game for its "pandering," what the developers did in this game is the absolute unequivocal opposite of pandering. For those who provide valid criticisms not clouded by personal agendas or sense of entitlement, thank you.

    The gameplay is very improved from the first game. If you liked the gameplay of the originally, you'll love it here as well. It's very similar, but improved. There's a dodge button that can be clutch at times, there's more things to craft, and there are a lot more enemy encounters.

    I will say, go in with an open mind and play the game without expectations of what you want it to be.

I had the ending to the game accidentally spoiled for me. So I was kinda of treading it but by the time I got there I couldn't be happier with it. At the start of abbeys story I was so annoyed by it. But I gotta admit it has some of the best moments and made me really root for her. All in all I loved the journey but still the standouts in the game were Ellie and Joel. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can't understand how anyone can rate 0 for a game with so many pros. In addition to excellent gameplay (just like the first), incredible environments and wonderful graphics, the game has a very different story from the first, but still connected, showing the consequences of the actions of the characters and how it changed them. If you haven't seen the reason for Joel's death, or how those characters have become what they are (and not what you want him to be), maybe you should have played Last of Us part 1 more closely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Buzzwords and phrases used by critics to describe this game calling it a once in a generation game and a console defining game made me nervous that hype had affected critical evaluation of the game. The negative user reviews concerned me greatly so I actually went into the game worried that it would let me down. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This game makes incredibly bold risks and changes our attitudes towards beloved characters from the first game. Never have I seen a game manage to create such multi dimensional characters whilst also drawing out some of the best motion capture and voice acting of any game i have played. Many user complaints i have seen emphasised Joe;'s death, Ellies behaviour throughout the game and the section played as Abbie. Firstly Joel's death hurt but it sets up the narrative arch and philosophical themes throughout the game. The game deals heavily with the emotional burden hatred and lust for revenge bares on a person so by killing off the most beloved character you ignite the hatred for Abbie within the player almost immediately. The only annoyance i can empathise with is people complaining that the marketing lead people to believe Joel had more of a presence in the game. But then again whilst he does not go on this games journey with you his presence is so important through flashbacks that contextualise and develop these characters past the first game. These flashbacks were some of the most emotively potent sections of the game for me and i truly loved playing them.
    Secondly, like many others I was incredibly annoyed to play as Abbie when the game resets to Seattle day 1. However as I played her section I couldn't help but empathise with her as she slowly rekindled the humanity she lost after the killing of Joel. Lev, Yara and Abbie quickly became my favourite charters in the game. I cannot stress enough how much i came to love the Characters in Abbies story specifically the sequence in the Seraphites home island. Not only was this my favourite part of the game to play with the chaos and burning huts looking like something out of a medieval epic. But also this feud between the Seraphites and the WLF that has been bubbling in the background of the narrative referenced through NPC conversations, notes and some cutscenes, comes to a head. This happens just when the pacing seemed to lag and was a primal depiction of the brutality humans are capable of inflicting.
    Ellie's behaviour as a complaint i simply cannot understand. How many characters have we seen be driven to do horrible things as a result of happenings during the apocalypse. Why should Ellie be any different. The all consuming hatred is captured perfectly in pivotal scenes with excellent motion capture and voice acting and Ellie's pursuit of revenge is one of my favourites in video game history. Did it lower my estimations of her, yes. Was it unrealistic, no. Ellie is complex as humans are and the murder of the only consistent figure in her life drives her to near insanity. By the end of the story my perspective shifted and i wanted nothing more than for Abbie to get away with Lev. Why does there have to be a black and white separation of morality in video games? Can't morality be examined as a more complex and subjective element to storytelling in video games? There have never been more complex characters in a video game ever.
    Finally the ending is so bittersweet and heart wrenchingly sad that I cannot believe how pitch perfect it is. The final flashback to Joel had me in near tears and perfectly wrapped up Ellie and Joels relationship up whilst also serving fans closure. I wished Ellie could have sat with Joel on that porch forever. From seeing the depravement of Abbies would be grave at the end to the painful to watch final fight between Abbie and Ellie. The ending is long and masterful and finishes with a few subtle but unfathomably powerful moments. Ellie's lost finger making her unable to play the guitar properly, the Moth symbol on Joel's guitar and Ellies arm and the desolation of the happy family home. All sad and happy, good and bad but ultimately amazing.
    Music is amazing, graphics are amazing, and the gameplay was very good. Refined from the first game but not enough to warrant a 10. Also Tommy was the weakest character in the game for me and served little purpose other than to set the final chapter in motion. A narrative tactic rather than a three dimensional character. I have no time for people getting annoyed at the games diverse casting of race, gender and sexuality. When the story is as strong as it is these elements don't affect the game at all.
    All in all, this truly is a once in a generation game.

    Avoid spoilers and all the hate. Some fans from the first game simply cannot understand how to add emotion to a video game sequel. I am a straight male and didn't care that most main characters were female. You'd be missing out if this bothers you.

    Here is my spoiler-free review:

    (Overall) If you enjoy a suspenseful dark story and intense brutal gameplay, then this will be amazing for you. I loved everything about it. I can say for sure that it beat the first game for me and every other game I've played. It is not as adventurous as the prequel, since the environments explored was reduced but this is not enough to decrease my rating.

    (Gameplay) The gameplay is very immersive and on par with God of War intensity. The animations and attention to detail are like no other. There is lots of exploration opportunities, but not too much to get bored. Some might not like the gameplay of a particular section of the game, but it will eventually make sense.

    (Story) The story is my favorite part, which might raise some eyebrows - the sheer tension and thriller makes you so involved as a player. You will definitely not agree with some events that occurs, but this is exactly why it makes it so haunting and memorable. I have never felt so invested in a story with dark and gritty characters.

    Play it until the very end before you make a final judgement - it is genius.

Special shoutout to the Bow. Major improvement compared to how the bow operated in the last game.

    Naughty Dog has delivered their staple stellar storytelling yet again, in the best and most harrowing way possible. I cried, I laughed, I got mad, and I felt pain with Ellie and all the other charac ters. With such dark themes, I expect it to be a divisive one, in a good way. It will inspire philosophical debate and conversation on how fragile humanity truly is.

    The technical side is absolute perfection. Not a single glitch was noticed, it ran on a stable 30fps, and it just looks oh so gorgeous. It’s amazing what they did with a 7 year old piece of hardware. Up there with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Uncharted 4 as the best looking games ever, maybe even having a slight, yet noticeable, edge.

    This is a strong contender for GOTY, and a strong early contender for Game of The Decade.

People just decided to hate and review bomb TLOU2 for whatever reason.
    So here´s an actual honest opinion. I just finished the game. And pretty much it's impossible for anyone to have finished it in just 24h. A long side the main story the game has several side content for you to explore. So if you do that not only is it an enjoyable experience but also it will take you longer to finish. What I can tell you right away is that only after the first hours of the game I not only got hooked but It became clear to me how talented Naughty Dog is at world building, storytelling and at gameplay. You need to play this to understand how detailed and deep the game is. But still if you really are on the fence, go watch some actual early gameplay videos that will allow you to understand what the game is all about. You'll see that the game is much better than what 11000 people claim to be only after the first 24h. Open your mind people. You built your own perception of what the sequel should be without even giving it a fair chance. It is because of how you are abusing the Metacritic system that it stops being useful for consumers that actual want a real impression on the product. Metacritic the way I see it you need to start asking for proof that a person actually bough the product in order to submit reviews. Anyway. If you finished the game and didn't like it I respect your opinion. But for me this is a groundbreaking game. One of the first or at least most impactful tragic game story. This is what people dont understand. They ask developers to be more original and when they do it they're criticized for doing it. Let me put it this way . People who love this game will forever hate it. And thats what is so good about it. Welcome to tragedy in video games. Thank you for having the courage to do it Naughty Dog.

There are a few games that made me feel emotions, happiness, anger, sadness and after finishing them they left me speechless. One of them, and the best of all is the The Last of Us. Part 2 did the same thing, sometimes it was more intense. But Part 1 is still my favorite game of all time, just because it was the first one, and it started it all. Part 2 is a darker game, a more violent game, and it isn't a bad thing, if you aren't a child, because the world where we live in it's just as dark as the game,but in other ways, because there are no zombies among us, but there are horrible things, but we can not see them because they are well hidden by we know who, and some people don't understand that. If you are upset that Ellie is a LGBTQ+ character, please, just go back some hundreds of years ago and live there. It is 2020 where every person should know that there are different persons on this planet, and everyone can love whatever gendere they want, and be what gender they want. Thi is part of the freedom we want and we have. This isn't a planet for a single type of persons, it is for all of us. And the part with politics that i am hearing, if that is actually true, we deserve that for our behaviour against simple things that we don't want to accept. You can't tell me that there is a better story telling game. But if you do, make sure that you played the entire game, played yourselves, and feel the game yourself, not on youtube watching a random youtuber, that has half of the brain required to think more about a story. This drives me crazy when i see streamers just calling this game "a piece of s**t", and they didn't play singleplayer games only by themselves and feel the games just on streams rading the chat. You should have your own opinion, if you are an open minded person, about this game.Ok they leaked a lot of things about the game, they leaked some untrue things, but this is marketing guys, this is how you do it, because if you don't people will lose interest. This was one of the most hyped games of all time, it had a bigger impact that everything else in the gaming history. This game is one of the best games ever made that the world is not understanding and that is why we don't deserve it. Expand

    Masterpiece! This is a tour de force video game for Naughty Dog. A perfect aurevoir to the Playstation 4. The writing, design and gameplay are master class. If you have an appreciation for artistic vision and masterful technical execution, look no further. It almost seems impossible to fathom how this game isn't running on a next generation console.

    Wow. Absolutely breathtaking game, one of the finest ever made. If you’re legitimately here because you’ve never heard of The Last of Us. Please excuse the low ratings. It’s a bunch of sad little boys/men who have nothing better to do with their time than review bomb a game they haven’t even played.

    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]
