    The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the best video games I've ever played. Wow, I did not expect to be saying those words. For one, I was only not a huge fan of the first game.

For one, I was only not a huge fan of the first game. I actively disliked the combat and stealth gameplay in the first game, even though I loved its story and world building and characters. The sequel, however, improves on almost every single aspect of the original game. It may be an evolution and not a revolution but everything is polished to perfection in a way that boggles the mind. The sequel made me care about the characters and the world in a new way. And it improves upon the stealth and combat so that it now is really fun to play, whereas I was really struggling to enjoy myself with the first game. The incredible sense of freedom in the stealth and combat scenarios allows for endless fun and variety. The visual presentation is stunning and the world is rich in life and detail. The ruined Seattle is an absolute joy to explore. The calm and beauteous moments complement the dark moments. The audio soundscape is perfect for ambiance and emotion. The story is epic and sprawling yet also focused and tight and perfect. I played the game on the highest difficulty "Survivor" (not recommended for the first playthrough, the game warns!) and that heightened the tension in a way that only made the game better for me. The fear of constant death and the brutality of those deaths, combined with the ability to nearly instantly restart an encounter, made for a unique experience. In short, the game pushes the boundaries of interactive media by marrying one of the best narratives ever told with one of the best gameplay systems. An incredible game. 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The hatred of this game simply astounds me. Story aside, on the technical achievement this game is a 10/10. Looks and sounds fantastic, has a massive range of accessibility options too that you don't see in most games. The acting too is great. Great performance from the cast and solid directing.

    Now the story, I played the first game 5 times (twice on Grounded mode) so I'm in a position to comment on it as someone who loves the story from the first. Spoilers ahead.

    So Joel dies at the hands of a girl whose father he murdered at the end of the first game. His actions regarding Ellie at the end of the first game WERE extremely selfish, but understandable. Aside from that, we learned that he did some bad things in his past between the outbreak and meeting Ellie. He is the anti hero in a series about Ellie. This series was always about Ellie and here she takes the lead role. Does Joel die to early? Arguably. But the controversy surrounding his death is pathetic.

    I like the way the game is split between Ellie and Abby. Playing as Abby opens up a whole new perspective in this world. She's part of a group that can be lethal when required, but also human in comfortable moments. The same as Joel and Ellie's new found group in Jackson.

    Overall it's a great game. The faux outrage over it is downright pathetic. People need to grow up. Buy the game, try your best to ignore the hive mind of social media and make up your own mind. If you don't like the story that's ok, but the game itself is still great to play as the game play is fantastic.    … Expand

Still, if you enjoyed the stealth, crafting, combat mechanics and gunplay of the first...there should be plenty to love in TLOU 2. The story, honestly, is harsh....yes....but very fair....and very brave, if you ask me. It is a natural extension of what was started in the 1st game, if one can simply detach from unreasonable expectations garnered in everyone's love for Ellie and Joel's character. At the end of TLOU, Joel's decision plays out as a heart-wrenching one of a loving father figure. But only in as such as we get the narrowest of keyhole views into that decision. TLOU 2 allow the full consequences of that decision to bloom. And as heartfelt/heart-wrenching as that decision was....it was also a devastating decision....a selfish tribal-driven decision (understandable, tho! Saying this as a father of 2 girls myself) which breeds and weaves the ugliness of tribalism into the brutal story of TLOU2. Looking back from as detached a perspective as I can muster, the story is true to the heart of TLOU. Druckmann and co must have known he/they would be harshly criticized for their decision to tell that story. Kudos to you, good sir. Brave choice!… Expand

    Really great game. Most male gamers have fragile egos and think all women in games are created to satisfy their sexual fantasies, since they can't get any IRL. So, when they see one that doesn't, they rage.

The story pushes back against the player just as much as the gameplay. The visuals were incredible and I was constantly blown away by small details in the environments, characters, objects - everything. Everything looks so realistic and lots of time has gone into grounding the player in the world. The gameplay has also become a lot more engaging since the first instalment. I found that the stealth gameplay was a lot more engaging as there is more to do, rather than just waiting and watching. The large variety of ways to engage people was also great, as I always felt there were interesting and varied ways to survive encounters. I played on the second hardest difficulty and really enjoyed it. I didn't use the listen mechanic at any point (as a personal challenged) and I didn't feel like I needed it. The sound design was so good that you could generally get a feel for where the enemies were and it increased the my enjoyment of each encounter - making things more tense. I also really enjoyed the story. The story isn't fan service - this game is clearly not about making people feel good. It is a thoughtful game that challenges you and your actions and this is something I enjoyed. Going into this game - I knew it would make me uncomfortable just like lots of top-tier art. To me, this is a strength of the game rather than a weakness. After loving the first game, I didn't feel like I needed another instalment. Even with that mindset, TLOU II surpassed my expectations in every way and left me extremely glad for having the experience. There is nothing else like it and I highly recommend it to any that wants to see the potential of video games realised in 2020.… Expand

    Never expected a game would tackle issues like war, peace, forgiveness, homosexuality, love, hate, racism, violence, and so many more in such an organic way. Have watched plenty of movies, tv series and read alot of books in my life, but this is how you implement social problems in a piece of entertainment and make it work.

The story is about just one character, instead of the duo we got so familiar in TLoU - this is what pissed so fans off. But once you realize the story is trying to do it's own thing, the game becomes much more engaging.

    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN they did it! I love it even more. It's hard to find anything negative about it. Even the soundtrack is fantastic and I really thought they wouldn' top that. Well, they did that too.

    For starters, this is the most beautiful game of this generation. The level of detail and animation technology here is stunning. Part of the reason why you get so convinced in getting involved with the characters is because of how they talk, move, laugh, cry, talk and just react to things. What the devs pulled here was a work of art. A phenomenal graphical powerhouse that paves the way for an incredibly elaborate story.
    The gameplay's still very reminiscent of the first entry, but much more improved. Combat and stealth are gruesome, intelligent, challenging, intense and breathtaking. You may not have the level of flexibility of MGSV or the improvisation possibilities of Uncharted 4, but you can ACTUALLY plan how you're going to face encounters and recover from bad decisions, turning the tide to your favor. It's almost flawless. Upgrading your character also feels a lot more rewarding now. Looking for supplies and saving bullets and items matters a lot more, this time.
    Oh and the environments are GORGEOUS! Not only to look at, but to explore. They felt scary AND charming at the same time.

    But the true driving force of TLOU2 is the story. The acting and writing is at its best. I've seen few things like it in a video game. Without getting into the infamous heavy controversial spoilers, I felt like EVERY decision made in its plot was masterfully done and well justified. It's weird when they break the tale's climax to change the perspective, but when you get further into the script, you just get it. You root for both characters. You may even hate them both. It makes you question MANY things about society, revenge, choice, family, humanity and love. All of these things backed by the strong portrayal of amazing actors, great writing, precise details and impressive animations. Can't remember the last time I cried and laughed this much as I did here.

    I guess the bad parts of TLOU2 are in its structure.
    Like I said, it is extremely justifiable, but it takes a while to justify it. The story is massive and beautiful, but they break it with many flashbacks and perspective moves. Pacing kinda drags, especially with the "Can't Go This Way, Let's Find Another One" moments. It definitely did not trouble my experience, but I get that it can be bothersome. The third act, albeit VERY impactful, can kinda feels rushed. Specially since they just throw a new group of enemies at you without any background.
    The stealth, when facing the infected, doesn't always work. Maybe it's on purpose, but I went through some frustrating moments when dealing with them. Also, your companion's AI sort of... Sucks.

    It's really hard to give this game anything different than a 10. It might not feel like it in the future, but I really see almost no flaw in it. I had fun, I got sad, angry, happy, frustrated and felt challenged by TLOU2.
    Challenged not only by the gameplay, but also by the story. The game's biggest challenge is to see both sides and to deal and accept that, well... Tomorrow begats tomorrow. Wether it's a good or a bad one. A brutal or a beautiful one. A bloody or a peaceful tomorrow. Your decisions will make or break you. And it might just make or break others too.

    Не понимаю, почему у игры столь низкий пользовательский рейтинг. Геймплей - это та же первая часть помноженная на 10. Сюжет - просто изюминка. Однозначно игра года 10/10

    Игра не заслужила такого хейта. Жаль, но судя по всему индустрия банально не доросла до настолько комплексных и взрослых историй.
    Искренне верю, что спустя время TLOU2 станет живой классикой.

    As expected, Naughty Dog delivered on making an exciting, thrilling and incredibly dark game. However, since I thought the first one didn't really need a sequel, the story sometimes falls short. Playing as Abby for such a big part of the game was certainly interesting and it did the job of giving another perspective on the whole situation but it was too big a part of the game for    SPOILERS

    Gameplay is very much like the first The Last of Us (TLOU). It does add more stealth options: crawling and being able to hide in tall grass. And in combat you can now dodge enemy melee attacks. The survival aspects have not changed that much. The amount of items you scavenge has increased slightly (played on hard difficulty). It allows you to use crafted items/ammo more often than in TLOU 1. It seems enemies no longer drop the ammo you are currently using which helps a bit with immersion. There still are pretty much the same limits on ammo and items you can carry. While it is slightly illogical it helps to keep the survival tension very real throughout the game.

    Graphics are absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Animations are so smooth and fluid. It makes it really hard to go back to play other PS4 titles. This really looks and feels like next gen. The amount of detail in the world you go through in this game is also really incredible.

    Sound and music is also top notch. Really helps with the immersion.

    Story is the divisive one. I personally loved it, but as you can see from the user score and some youtuber reviews, not everyone did. But for me it was an emotional rollercoaster and i enjoyed it for most of the journey.

    Conclusion: I highly recommend anyone to play this game and if you do want to play it try to avoid any spoilers. I enjoyed the game a lot and have to congratulate Naughty Dog on an amazing game.    … Expand

    I would say that the game fully continues the ideas of the first part, some turns of the game are really unpredictable, especially in the end of the Prologue ;)
    The game play is extremely involving.
    Finally, for sure, no other game didn't make such a big impact on me after finishing. At the same time, I understand why people put 0 - this game isn't something they were waiting for.

    I never thought I'd see so much hate levied at this game which at first glance seems like evangelical-conservative-sovereign-citizen-kryptonite with almost every element being anathema to that world view but I think that's incidental to the random hate.

    It seems like in every comment I see about this game's ending that the people who hate it understand the ending, they just flatly refuse to accept it. This game constantly flies directly against US revenge culture which has always clashed heavily with Jesus's concept of forgiveness.

    This is why they don't offer a meaningful rebuttal to the message of this game, they just pick it apart like the babies picked apart The Last Jedi or Empire Strikes Back when they came out. The actual reaction to this game is what makes it a masterpiece more than the story itself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Historia:

    Voy a empezar dando mi opinión de lo más polémico. Dicho esto, me acuerdo del final del primer juego y como esto pensé que iba a tener repercusiones en un futuro, Sabia que no se podia quedar asi y para mi es logico lo que ha pasado Cuando muere Joel. Quizás fue un poco apresurado pero iba a pasar almenos eso lo tenia en mi mente antes de las filtraciones, me quedo con el momento de cuando Ellie le dice a Joel, levantate pensando que él es implacable y se niega a verlo de esa manera pensando que eso no va a poder con el...

    La historia me ha gustado mucho más que la del primero, muchas partes de Ellie como de abby me han llegado a emocionar, ponerme de los nervios, odiar, reconciliarme con el personaje, entender porque actúan de una manera u otra...

    Me encanto el Cover de take on me, No esperaba encontrar nada en esa tienda de música y me meten ese momentazo, asi como todos los momentos de guitarra donde Ellie se acuerda de Joel tocando el principio de future days...

    Yo he llegado a este juego sin saber nada de abby me he llevado una grata sorpresa, al principio estaba un poco desconcertado y en la segunda parte que es cuando la manejas no me sentía agusto con ella, tenia cierto odio por lo que había hecho... Avanzando con ella me he llevado una grata sorpresa con la historia que ha tenido con Yara y Lev superando sus miedos y demostrando que es un personaje que merece la pena y que tiene también derecho para hacer ciertas cosas, Ni los buenos son tan buenos, Ni los malos son tan malos, Eso lo demuestra muy bien este juego.

    Me marco mucho el momento de cuando Ellie se entera que Joel le mintió no una sino varias veces y como marca eso al personaje, me quedo con la parte final donde Joel le dice 'si dios me hubiera dado otra oportunidad, lo volveria a hacer sin dudarlo'.

    La historia de los serafitas me parece muy interesante y espero que no lo dejen en el olvido, me gustaría saber más de sus inicios...

    Dicho esto y para no extenderme hasta el infinito, siendo la segunda parte alomejor me hubiera gustado que me contaran más cosas sobre el origen del virus posible cura o solución etc... Aunque creo que eso les da al equipo mucho jugo para sacar una tercera parte y pienso que lo harán. Pienso que Tlou2 lo querían solo para dar a conocer mas a estos dos personajes a fondo.

    Gráficos:

    Lo he jugado en una ps4 normal y me he quedado embobado, naughty dog es una compañía que sabe exprimir las maquinas de Sony al máximo con un diseño artístico implacable. Para mí es de lo mejorcito que he visto en esta consola y en esta generacion.

    Las animaciones faciales, las animaciones en general, la iluminación, los entornos, el comportamiento de la lluvia, texturas. Se nota que todo se ha hecho con mucho mimo y detalle.

    Los pequeños detalles marcan la diferencia y este juego en muchas ocasiones se aprovecha de eso.

    Sonido-ost:

    No soy experto en sonido, pero a mí la banda sonora me ha transmitido muchísimas sensaciones y pienso que cada canción estaba hecha con mucha atención a cada momento que pasaba tanto en la historia como en los momentos más tensos.

    Puntuación sonido - 10

    Gameplay:

    Sigue la formula del 1 perfeccionandola, No soy mucho de juegos de sigilo pero en este almenos en normal se me ha hecho muy apacible ya que el juego me daba las dos opciones. La ia rodeándote, comunicándose, lamentando la perdida de sus compañeros, indicando a estos cuando te quedas sin balas, te mete muchísimo dentro del juego y hace que disfrutes mucho jugandolo, así como algunos puzzles y el uso de algunos objetos que me ha sorprendido.

    El gunplay se me ha hecho bastante llevadero y satisfactorio así como el uso de las distintas herramientas para matar a enemigos.

    Los nuevos enemigos, tanto los serafitas con su peculiar manera de comunicarse y los nuevos infectados le han aportado bastante novedad en este aspecto al juego.

    En mi partida no he tenido ningún bug que entorpezca mi experiencia cosa que si he visto en algún que otro tweet u otros lados.

    Opinión final:

    El mundo de los videojuegos últimamente esta como cubierto de una neblina espesa de negatividad que no la hace ningún bien a los juegos, en mi caso si no hubiera seguido mi propia opinión me hubiera perdido uno de los mejores sino el mejor juego del sistema en mí opinión claro esta.

    Por cierto hay muchas cosas que me he dejado por el camino lo sé y otras de las que no soy muy conocido, pero espero que si lo habéis leído os haya gustado.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly went into this game not expecting much, partly because I thought TLOU didn't need a sequel and because it lacked the MP component which I loved. I had also seem some of the leaks before I got to play and while I didn't get the whole game spoiled I had enough revealed that I didn't like what I had read.

    However, after playing the game myself I can definitely say that this game was amazing. Not as good as the first, story wise, but only marginally behind it. It's a story that once played has impact. Abby ended up not being a character that I completely hated by the end of the game either, contrary to how I felt at the beginning. Gameplay wise it takes the best parts of the first and improves them greatly. Adding more mechanics, weapons, and tools to play with. The technical aspects (graphics and animation) were top notch of course as is often the case with Naughty Dog's games.

    This was a game that I definitely needed to play myself to actually get the experience that was needed to from it. While it definitely doesn't stand ahead of the first, it can stand right along side it as a fantastic game that should be played if the opportunity arises.    … Expand

But this time 'hate' is the main theme, hate that the main character feels and is taken over by it which is correlated to your emotions and as time passes and you proceed through the story you start to have second thoughts about your feelings, as does the main character.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game! I don't understand the hate. I enjoyed the story and felt that it was just as good if not better... If you didn't feel guilty gunning down the fireflies in TLOU1, you might be a psychopath... Joel did a terrible thing… Expand

    Finished game today and I don't have any complaints. Not the best game in the world but one of the bet this year. All hate is not established.

    A masterpiece, just what I was expecting from this sequel. I don't understand the hate and the low scores. One good reason to ignore the users' score from now on.

    One of the best game I've ever played.
    Yes, the plot is complex, ambiguous and has tons of perspectives but, you know what, this is the benefit of this game, not the weakness.

    It's a beautiful game with fun stealth gameplay and an emotional roller-coaster of a story. People giving it low ratings don't agree with some of the narrative choices they made, but that's really a matter of opinion. The game takes you out of your comfort zone in a way that few games will risk to do. For me, it worked.

    Easy 10/10

    I love how the developers don’t stick to the tried & tested formulas most other games do when it comes to the story. Perhaps all these negative reviews are from people who just don’t get that some people are gay? I can’t honestly see any other reason why so many would give it such terrible reviews.

    Take your time with this game, I saw most of the negative reviews were out within hours of the release. Either hateful Xbox fans or people who decided to put their race horse blinkers on to finish it as fast as possible.

    If you loved or even liked ‘The Last of Us” or “Left behind” then without doubt, you will really, really enjoy this game.

    The greatest game of the generation and a story-telling milestone.

    The change of perspective in this game is something you never experienced before! It's a triumph. The many debates about it are proof that this is a true work of art and one of the most important interactive experiences ever.

    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]
