    The best game ever! ThankYou Naughty Dog. This game is never a 4.5! You might hate the history but the game is very good!

    this game is the living proof why sites like metacritic shouldn't exist. first of all i'd like to know how within few hours of release there's all these idiots posting 0s, i'm at 5 hours gameplay and are still exploring the first area of the 'real' story. so i'm pretty sure almost all of these 0s are from people who don't own the game.

    That said, the game is a masterpiece. Stunning graphics, music, atmosphere, level design, attention to details. everything is spot on.

    yes, the story is not on par with the first tlou, but that is really the only critic you can move toward the most stunning game ever to reach the ps4.

    if you even remotely enjoyed tlou1, go buy it, you won't regret it.    … Expand

    You need to play the story in a mature and open-minded way in order to enjoy it.
    The plot is made to break your heart. Be awere. Love that they gave us an unconventional product. Worthy to be discussed

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve had time to think about #TheLastofUsPartIl and I had seen a few spoilers before jumping into it and while it saddens me to have seen them I wasn’t gonna let it bother me From a visual standpoint this game was nothing story of one of the best games I’ve ever seen, The music might be only 2nd to Red Dead Redemption 2. The music was absolutely incredible and really knew how to hit the mood. From a character standpoint Joel and Ellie were.. well, Joel and Ellie. Dina was a very well put together character and it was a trip watching,
    Tommy go more and more mad as the story went on. Especially near the end, Jesse was a great new character was well to see. There are too many other characters to talk about in a review so I’ll just say. Some of them were hits and some were misses #TheLastofUsPart2 

    Now Onto the story itself... Is the story better then the first game... no... But that’s OK, because overall the story was while flawed at some points. A very enjoyable story for me. I think playing as Abby went a little too long but that’s OK.

    Seeing Ellie develop as a character throughout the second game as well as in the ending, realizing that no matter what she did wouldn’t change what happened or make her a better person showed true character development for her.

    My final thoughts. I really want to give this game a 10/10 But as of this moment I just can’t, maybe after a second Playthru and sitting down on it I can. But the graphics, sound and character were all great and the story was while flawed a good experience Overall. 9.5/10. Since 9.5 is closer to 10 than it is to 9. I’ll give it a 10    … Expand

    the game is an almost perfect experience like the first video game, it is a continuation that did things well, you know what you want, you have the essence of the excellent game that was the last of us in 2013, wait 7 years for this game and It was totally worth it, a good game doesn't always have to have a multiplayer, and this is the case, you don't need a multiplayer to be an excellent game.

    I've now finished two play throughs of this game and in my opinion it is simply a masterpiece.

Amazing level design makes you feel part of the world & there is something to love in every character. No one is good or evil here, but every character has believable motivations and I was fully invested throughout.

    Gameplay is great, it's a smoother more dynamic version of the first game which was lauded as basically a perfect game. The story and writing are amazing. Are you happy watching events unfold? No, it's a zombie apocalypse it's not going to be a happy ending for anyone. But are the characters nuanced and compelling? Absolutely. Play this game and then judge it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Upon completing the game i was honestly astonished how nuanced the story is in regards to the story. ALMOST every story beat is either a flip or a direct continuation of the certain dialogues from the first game. For example: in the first hour of the first game, Joel loses his daughter and in this game Ellie loses her "father". Even the ending upon reflection is a direct response to Ellies conversation to Sam when she says Shes afraid of ending up alone. I really enjoyed the The Last of Us Part 2, the game really makes an effort to have you understand the choices that were made and fleshes out certain details to give you more insight to the world naughty dog has created. The characters were some one of the highlights for me! I also appreciate the fact that the characters Though I didn’t agree with every story beat, I was able to enjoy almost the thing in its entirety.… Expand

    I remember when Days Gone launched and there was a similar **** show with youtubers hating on the game but the game being actually good.

I do aknowledge the flaws but this will not make me give this game a score of 1, 2, 3 or 4... Doesn't make any sense. I do believe that at the moment there's a mob mentality ongoing and people's opinions are influenced by this.

    La música es extraordinaria, el elemento de tocar la guitarra y tener todos los acordes disponibles es brutal.
    Los gráficos son lo mejor que he visto en ps4 basta con ver la cara para saber el estado de humor por el que está pasando el personaje, los escenarios son brutales

    Quizás el único punto por el que no tiene un 10 se debe al polémico final.. no por la decisión que se toma sino porq quizás me falto que el final tuviese una repercusión más grande sobre el mundo que está planteado en TLOU, por ejemplo, en el primer juego cuando Joel toma esa decisión condena a la raza humana por salvar a Ellie. En el caso del segundo juego tienen un impacto muy fuerte en la vida de Ellie pero nada cambia en el mundo en el que se desarrolla.. ese era el punto que hubiese marcado un diez sin embargo no deja de ser un juego intensivo brutal real humano y que deja una mezcla de emociones fantástico.. juegazo    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely amazing game! The story is truly something I've never experienced in a game, the basic premise isn't new but the way it uses this premise and changes it in a way not often seen in mainstream media especially games. The basic premise is that it's a revenge story and this is nothing new, however what is new is that this game doesn't treat you like a badass for killing these people, it shines a light on the cruelty and negative impact violence has on people and demonstrates perfectly the impact & issues revenge killing ultimately brings. It also helps the gameplay is superior to the first, it's not a major overhaul or anything but just the quality of life improvements (such as the bows improved aiming) and the smoother gameplay (dodging is a huge part of making the gameplay flow a lot better than the first) make a huge difference to the overall experience. To end, both in the story & technical department, The Last of Us Part II is amazing and I would recommend everyone play it for themselves.

Это ощущение схожее с Экзистенциальным кризисом. История девочки Эли (я все же считаю, что это именно её история) её терзания, и всё что с ней приключилось за эти две части оставляет очень много вопросов. Знаете в какой-то момент (когда я тупо залипал в титры) я чуть не разрыдался как девчонка ! Мне захотелось купить ближайший билет до Санта-Моники ворваться в кабинет к Дракману и заорать "СКАЖИ ЧТО У НЕЁ ВСЕ ХОРОШО! СКАЖИ ЧТО У ЭЛИ БУДЕТ ВСЕ ХОРОШО!!!".
    Эта игра вызвала у меня эмоции которые я не испытывал с первой части. И это потрясающе.
    И знаете, если следующая часть истории об Элли выйдет через семь лет, то для меня это будут очень долгие семь лет.

"No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for" We leave the first part of The Last of Us with that quote, and this masterpiece of a sequel just builds upon that but in a more complex way, and from different perspectives that could have been a hard pill to swallow for some.

    In the beginning of part 2, we get to see our beloved characters living a somewhat normal life, with newfound companions and stories that will slowly unfold as the game progresses through meaningful flashbacks. This was a glimpse into the last four years of their lives, a relatively peaceful life that Joel and Ellie have found for themselves. We as the player, step into the story as all of that is about to fall apart. The game does an amazing job of making us feel what the characters are feeling. Sadness, rage, anger, a thirst for revenge. We feel a sense of betrayal as we watch our protagonist get his life beaten out of him, by someone we were playing as just mere minutes ago. We watch him breathe his last breath, through Ellie's eyes, which made it all the more painful and near unbearable to watch. Ellie looks around the room of Joel's killers, we do too. We embark on our journey ready to kill every last one of them.

    The story starts off linear, seemingly a revenge story set in this dystopian world we all know and love. We are accompanied by Dina, a level-headed character who deeply cares for and loves Ellie, and who is equally as capable when it comes to combat. The pair get to explore new destinations that are beyond beautiful, despite the destruction the outbreak has caused. The set pieces and locations are a sight to behold, and Naughty Dog has done such an amazing job of making it feel like we are exploring an open world, even though it isn't one. The sets are designed to make you want to explore every corner and every room in order to not miss a single collectible or dialogue that might be a great addition to the narrative. We fight bigger, badder infected that are more rewarding to defeat, and factions that feel more human than AI, and therefore harder to kill than those in the previous installment of the Last of Us. And with every build-up of tense encounters, we are rewarded with the most beautiful, somewhat poignant storytelling of Joel and Ellie's relationship that would almost guarantee some tears to be shed.

    As we continue on with our gameplay, it is not until the halfway mark that we realize that this is in fact not a linear story line nor a revenge story—when we once again get to play as Abby. At first we're conflicted. Why am I playing as Joel's cold-hearted killer? How long does this have to go for? What happens in the theater confrontation? I don't want this! Take me back to Ellie! The anger we felt during the prologue rises back up again. I admit, I let her get destroyed by clickers numerous times just to satisfy my anger and frustration. But after a shameful amount of suicide attempts as Abby, I trudged on, eager to find out what kind of story is about to unfold. And boy was I pleasantly surprised.

    We get to know the stories behind our prologue "killers", albeit short for some of them, Naughty Dog still manages to give us a glimpse of who these characters are through superb acting and dialogue. I was particularly fond of Manny, who I very much despised during the prologue. I found myself in shock when he gets shot in the head, by Tommy nonetheless, through an epic run-and-duck encounter that's arguably one of the most mind-blowing parts of the game.

    As the journey progresses on Abby's side of the story, I found myself fighting the urge to root for her until I finally surrendered. I loved her story arc. I loved her. I loved Lev. I was witnessing the beginning of an amazing companionship, reminiscent to what we experienced with Joel and Ellie during the first part of the Last of Us, without it feeling repetitive. I was in awe, not just with the story but with what it made me feel simply by giving me a new perspective. It was phenomenal.

    On the two encounters where the two protagonists get to fight each other, I struggled to let the fight go on. The game makes you feel the consequences of their actions by letting you participate in their combat, it was soul-crushing, and it was intended to be that way. That's what makes this game a solid masterpiece.

    The final flashback is the most emotional one yet. Much like the rest of the game, it is all in the details with this final scene. From the crack in Ellie's voice as she says "but I would like to try" and Joel visibly holding back tears, to the emotional and physical distance between these two characters as they talked. It was our beloved Joel and Ellie in their most vulnerable, with a dialogue that perfectly concluded the first game's ending. It was painful yet beautiful, subtle yet impactful. A bittersweet conclusion to an exceptional story, and I expected no less from the Last of Us.    … Expand

I definitely can understand people being upset with Ellie’s decision at the end of the game to leave Abby alive yet, I also can understand why she did what she did and i feel like many are blind to that. Overall the stealth and gameplay is extremely well done and graphics are more than breathtaking. Though this game didn’t leave me with the same feeling as the first one did in its conclusion it is memorable and can truly be seen as a game about hate but also forgiveness.… Expand

    Naughty Dog have done something I thought they'd never achieve - a sequel that surpasses the first.

From the beautiful graphics, to the excellent acting, the stunning soundtrack and the engaging gameplay. A clever, undoubtedly controversial moment comes with a surprise shift in gameplay some way through the game - but the way it soon wins you round is quite the achievement. And the story - an emotional rollercoaster: violent, brutal, funny, heartbreaking. Just brilliant.

    It truly pushes new ground in the line between movies and gaming.

    And that guitar...

    If I have one complaint, it's the same one that I had for the first game - the AI is not the best. But you can forgive that.

    An easy 10/10 for me.

    An aside: The ridiculousness of people spamming zero stars based on spoilers they'd seen rather than playing the actual game (laughably thousands of these appeared within minutes of release - despite the game taking 25-30+ hours) is incredible.

    I will just say this: to those writing it off because of some spoler you've read - just play the game. Trust me, many of you may you may be surprised.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I consider the 1st game one of the greatest ever made, after playing this game for 3 hours so far, i can see it being held in the same regard. The animations, the interactions, the art design and graphic fidelity, despite the 30 fps on ps4 pro, doesn't matter, coming from a high end pc gamer. This game is a masterpiece, i haven't played a game w/ this much detail before. I feel for the crunch the team who designed this must have gone through, but nonetheless, it is a milestone.

    With that said, when i heard the game (through leaks and previews) would be focused around lesbian Ellie, and trans Abby - it felt like a let down. Not because I have an issue playing as a lesbian character as a white 40 something male, but because it feels like virtue signaling to shoehorn identity politics in to a video game. This is a bias on my part admittedly, but i can assure you as an open-minded, non partisan person, the games story is handled with grace, nothing is force fed down your throat; the relationship that Ellie has seems authentic and real, tasteful, and honestly her orientation comes up very minimally so far. Also, Abby is not trans, and even though she kills a beloved character, it honestly didn't bother me as once you get to play at her before she kills Joel, you are able to empathize with her character.

    The game is great so far. This game, like the last, does feel harrowing at just about all times, and that is due to the investment you have with the characters through the excellent story telling; it make the stakes feel that much higher.

    The review bombing is incredibly lame; but i am not surprised due to the enormous divide in this country. Hate on the game all that you want, but i assure you, you will be missing out on a huge achievement in video game play design, art direction and technological sophistication.

    Only being a few hours in, I won't give it a 10 quite yet, but suspect it will be deserving of one when finished.    … Expand

Now the game falters at a point that I think is more important than the graphical section, and it is the story, since you reach the breaking point and continue playing, playing with the character of Abby and sympathizing with her seems uncomfortable to me, and when you play with ellie it feels like she really isn't ellie if not another character. No character you come to love, nor hate, simply leaves you with a discomfort indifference. Still the game doesn't deserve a bad score. It is good but not what I expected.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's the thing, mis amigos: Nobody that has written a review or even gave the game a score would have had the time to properly finish it in the first place. I don't even have the game yet and here I am writing a 10/10 review.
    You need to understand that after the leaks a whole bunch of hateful people and trolls went all their way to harass the developers and ruin the game by spreading those leaks with both real and fake information.
    I'm not saying the game is perfect 'cause I haven't even played it but I would ask you, reader, to go and see for yourself: Read the professional reviews, go watch some youtuber's gameplay videos, read the story from the wiki or trust your gut and buy it and ask for a refund if you hate it.
    You know what's the story about so there's nothing about the tone that you would go blindly into. If the story, gameplay, violence or depictions that presents you aren't your thing, well, skip it.
    All I'm saying is that you should give the game a fair chance 'cause for less than 24 hours since it launched, to have more than 5000 reviews it's just simply baffling.
    I'll update this review (or delete this one and write a new one) when I get to play the game.
    Have a good day, everyone!

    EDIT: After playing the game thoroughly I came with the conclusion that, in fact, it is quite good! The characters are really well-developed and the whole narrative takes a whole bunch of risks that, at least for me, pay off awesomely! And of course, the gameplay, man! The gameplay's so cathartically bloody you can't possibly want to keep up but something pulls you in right back at it.
    I can understand why some people would flat-out despise the story, unfortunately, they fall in the majority of really mundane and superficial complaints (Ex. no. 1: Joel being "careless" like, man, it's been 4 years in which they pretty much show how much he went soft trying to reach an understanding with Ellie and his own experiences in a town like Jackson. Ex. no 2: The "woke agenda" like, you look immature by even using those terms, dude... And believe me, there's no "agenda" in this game. Things play out like in the real world and there is not even a single moment that allows you to go "ah! They showcase us, conservatives, as bad people!". Not even that, they're not attacking you).

    Is this a perfect game? Probably no. Is the narrative flawless? Not really: There are certain moments that probably weren't too polished (a character death that plays more for cheap shock value midway through the game; the jarring change of pace by playing with a new protagonist midway through the game, as well) but overall I can overlook all of that with what we have here. All I could have wished for was for this game to have been longer than what it is, the extra time would have worked wonders (yes, I'm saying that about this 25-hour long game).

    I can understand the hate. I can understand the love. It certainly deserves both: To be loved and hated in this much passion (but hating it doesn't give you rights to be an awful person and send death threats to the developers even if the game was not as "legendary" as you would have hoped for...)

    Ironically, about a game about hate and empathy, the story bleeds out into the real world wonderfully.

    It's 50/50 man, and I wish for the user reviews to remain like they are right now (at 5.3 overall), because that sums it up: People loving it for the wrong reasons and people hating it for ridiculous reasons. People enjoying it for doing a whole bunch of things right, and people hating it for doing things they didn't hope for.
    Give or take. You might love this, you might hate this.
    I ended up loving it, even when the game broke my heart in half and spat on it. But it was an experience that definitely moved me like nothing else in the gaming world. Nothing at all.

    You may end up saying the story is trash, you may end up saying the story is one of the best narratives out there. For me is the second. The only way for you to find out is to play it. Maybe you'll agree with me, maybe you'll think I'm stupid.
    Either way, I got something I wasn't prepared for.
    And I loved every last one of those seconds.    … Expand

    So this is a REAL review on this game. English is a second language so it might feel a little clunky.

    First of all I just wanna say that the bad reviews on this game have two base types: 1) Troll ones, easy to spot, usually the person says something like "great movie, bad gameplay". 2) Real ones, usually of people mad at the story, this person will say something like "awesome    So this is a REAL review on this game. English is a second language so it might feel a little clunky.

    First of all I just wanna say that the bad reviews on this game have two base types:
    1) Troll ones, easy to spot, usually the person says something like "great movie, bad gameplay".
    2) Real ones, usually of people mad at the story, this person will say something like "awesome gameplay, nice graphics, good soundtrack, awful storytelling".

    So now for the review, there's a difference between storytelling and story. Storytelling has to do with how the story is told, with which steps the production take to make something believable, good storytelling make a world concise. For example, it would be bad storytelling if Ellie would have found a dwarf in the middle of the game, a dwarf that would tell her how aliens came to Earth thousands of years before Christ and planned that whole zombie thingy. Now, this is bad storytelling, it would make TLOU universe inconsistent, there was no building to this.

    {THIS PART CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS}

    Now was there really no building to what happens in this game? You kill hundreds of guys, decide that a cure won't be made just so that you keep the person you love by your side and then you really believe that your actions won't cast a raging spirit? Joel's thing wasn't too rushed, it's many years late in the TLOU universe. From the moment he lost his "first" daughter and escaped with life his death was being postponed. Did you cry, did you feel an indescribable rage through that woman? Did you get yourself lost in the game? Did you feel like you couldn't stop playing until all that was solved? If you did, the storytelling is alright.

    People wanted to play TLOU 1 again, a new version of the story of bonding between a parent figure and its child. What they got was the second part of a brute and cruel story.

    If you are somewhat mature you will like the game.    … Expand

    I love this game. Story is interesting. Gameplay is fire. Soundtrack is lit. Graphics are generation defining. There is just so much to like here. :) LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's so deep and everyone is missing the point of it.

    The best game of all time! Spectacular graphics, animations from another world, gameplay never seen before, sound quality from another dimension, music from another level, and history at the level of the best books!

    Played The last of us 1 and now the second part, haven't finished yet, I played 7 hours. I can say its better than the first one. Better ambient, better gameplay, better lights, better movements, maps biggers, more places to roam. I think low ratings must be because of haters or people dosn't like ellie being lesbian or judaism of the characters or other matters of the history.

    Wonderful game with exciting story. I really can't understand how people completed this game by ONE NIGHT and white bad reviews.

    I finished the game a while ago. A game full of emotions and incredible technical processing. The best game of 2020, don't believe negative reviews of all homophobes and stupid people.
    Thank you Naughty Dog for your wonderful work.

    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]
