    The story and gameplay gave me as much if not more emotions as the first part. And that's always the win in my book. Great game. I applaud the Naughty Dog and Niel Druckman for not catering to their fan base and making something that stands out from any expected scenario for a sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT DONT READ UNLESS COMPLETED. The Last of Us Part II follows up an a masterpiece that emotionally wears you down and makes you fall in love with its characters Joel and Ellie. If you have experienced life and know what loss is, than The Last of Us Part II will emotionally wears you down in a completely different way. It was designed clearly to.invoke a whole other feeling and it blew me away. It is a it blurs the lines of good evil that we often believe are set in stone, and results in a feel good fairytale for the ones we didn't want to feel good for, and it is a tragedy for the ones we know and love dearly. In the end, Ellie's biggest fear in life that she mentioned in the first installment, becomes her reality after choosing hate over love. This should serve as a cautionary tale of staying true to yourself and how careful we need to be about picking up the sins of our father figures. And how when we realize the error of our ways, it can be too late. Expand

    Beautiful game, beautiful characters, amazing gameplay. If you truly play this game through and understand the story then I don’t see why it’s getting so much hate. Sure some characters die, some choices are not ideal, but that’s just how it is. I loved the game and do not regret buying it one bit.

    Fantastic graphics with the gameplay of the first game polished to a mirror sheen.
    the story while not the most original is well executed and like the first game is carried by the characters within it, while some risky decisions were made throughout the story i felt they really paid off.
    the game joins the ranks of bloodborne and god of war as being the best of this generation for me.

El juego gráficamente es hermoso, la ambición de Nauthidog a dado frutos y trajo a nuestras manos una de las mejores escuelas, y a mi parecer el juego del Año, mucha gente le ha criticado por su historia, respecto a esto The Last Of Us 2 tuvo uno de los mejores finales, lo más realista posible. Mucha gente no comprende esto pero les invito a lo que se supone que debe ser el juego, pónganse en el lugar de Ellie y el sentimiento de redención que obtuvo como desarollo de personaje. Musica, lo mejor de Santaolalla haciendo capaz de sentir todos los sentimientos y loejor, la tención de juego hecho realidad.

First off I am seeing a lot of comments saying this gameplay is stale in outdated but I heavily disagree. I think people have a lot of selection bias when remembering the first one. This combat has so many new small features making it feel fresh, there are also no annoying ladders and the level design is so heavily improved upon. Level design is a huge part of the gameplay for this series and it is so fine-tuned it's near-perfect here, Naughty Dog crafts such a detailed world giving glimpses of the past survivor's lives just by traversing it. The layouts of each level play out is so much better than the original as the player has so many unique ways to approach each encounter. Next is the story. This story just like the original purposely makes you feel uncomfortable at some points but it dials it to the extreme this time. I saw a review that complained "By the end of the game I was so numb to violence nothing shocked me anymore" Naughtydog does this on purpose as they really want players to be immersed and feel how these characters emotionally feel. This game's narrative is heavily reliant on the realism and characters making personal yet realistic choices and IMO you lose a huge part of the story if you don't put yourself in their shoes by playing the game. Almost every negative review here is within the first day this game came out. My total gameplay time was 25.5 hours. 99% of these negative reviews are not even possible. Most of this hate is coming from people who don't have the full context of the story. There is a reason this game is much longer than the original and an hour worth of cutscenes alone won't tell the full story. I highly recommend playing the game yourself and not looking at the game through spoilers! I found it a great experience and I hope others will enjoy it as much as I did. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a brutal, twisted and divisive masterpiece. I've been waiting 6 years to play this new game and I was not disappointed. The gameplay was incredible, graphics were unbelievable, music was beautiful yet daunting; but I want to focus on the story because this is where it trips most people. Part II is incomparable to its predecessor due to an entirely different narrative perspective and theme. Naughty Dog takes story telling to a whole new level in the gaming industry where other franchises are too afraid to touch. The direction they took was very admirable and respectable.

    Part I crafts a beautiful father-daughter relationship from complete strangers. I love that Part II isn’t a repetition of that same idea. Instead of growing Joel and Ellie's relationship, they sadistically fueled their fans with anger and turmoil from the get-go to prove that they are willing to take risks. As disheartening and totally gruesome as Joel's death was, I didn't want to give up on the game just because my favorite character was gone. I wanted to take revenge on all those people alongside Ellie.

    Part II's theme of revenge seems clear enough journeying as Ellie. However, when you switch to Abby, you quickly realize she has more cause for concern. This expansive section of the game allows the player to sit with their emotions and maybe think twice if Ellie's actions. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her as she converses with her friends without knowing it would be their last time. Abby's story had a strong arc and was the backbone to lift the story. She grew from a hardened killer to a woman offering forgiveness, similar to Joel.

    Ellie’s revenge quest comes to an end as she realizes Abby isn’t the answer. The only way to move on and forgive Joel is by forgiving herself. The beauty of this game is that one storyline can be perceived in a hundred different ways. Naughty Dog understands this game will divide their fan base. Rather than falling back on a easy-to-please storyline, they narrated a very specific story in a bold and fresh way.

    Either you understand and love it or you don't and hate it. Even if you disagree with the story's direction it's still one of the most beautiful games ever made with A.I. that is smarter than any I've ever seen, the music is great, and gameplay is tense with tons of action. The gameplay should be what you judge it on else the story should come 2nd and the gameplay is amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The barrage of red numbers breaks my heart, for art was not designed to be spot on. Art was made to make the individual think, contort in uncomfortable stupor, and gasp in awe.

    While I understand games are not TV shows, games are not primarily stories aiming at showcasing a disastrous world that can perhaps divide an audience, The Last of Us II is a game that does just that. As an aspiring writer, I always think of taking risks with storytelling, but I worry that my audience will not respect my choices. While I know I love my characters, do they ultimately belong to me, or the people who read?

    The Last of Us II is phenomenal for me because it makes me uncomfortable to live in my own skin; I had to constantly look over my shoulder while playing this game, I felt like I was in trouble, and watching Joel's death did a number on my mental health, but while this made me angry, while this made me hate the game, I trod on. I felt Ellie's pain, I felt the discomfort that crept in Dina's mind when watching the woman she loved make such decisions, I felt these character's ideologies being spat at on their face because the world that they live in was not kind. We knew this starting from Sarah's death in the first game, this world was anything but kind, but this game showed us just how monstrous.

    While I did not entirely enjoy playing as Abby, some of the best gameplay of the entire game was in her play through. I understand the need to hate on her, because GOD I hated her, and I not sympathise with her, and I understand that ND failed there to induce any sort of sympathy in my mind for her being, but I could not deny her existence. Abby existed in the world Joel did, and what Joel did to her was enough to have him killed, even though the way he died was just downright brutal. I jumped out of my skin while fighting the Rat King, I hated any part that displayed Abby's kindness, because who was she and why the heck did she have to be kind? She had no right after what she did to Joel. And by the time I could get accustomed to playing her, as if I were in a limbo and weren't playing The Last of Us 2 at all, I am forced to fight Ellie. I am nauseous by now, my ears were ringing, my hands were trembling and my temptation to see Ellie kill Abby was so tumultuous that I actually let it happen a couple of times, just to see it end.

    But then we begin to play as Ellie. Ellie's living with her trauma, but is she really living? She can't forget the images Abby left behind for her, she can't forget what happened to Joel. Obviously, she goes after Abby. Obviously, she finds her after immense struggle, and quite practically leaving behind everything she could have loved. The image Abby left behind for her, Joel's dying form, keeps ringing in her mind, ringing in MY mind. I will kill Abby when I find her and man, how satisfying it'll be.

    But we find Abby. We find her, but she's not Abby. She's a shell of who she was, lost everything and the look of pathetic desperation in her eye. I am awed, disgusted, and I know what's coming. I am praying in my mind, 'No, Ellie, it's not worth it, don't kill her', and I say 'It's not worth it', because Abby is no longer a threat. Abby is a dot in the scheme of existence itself, Abby is dead. Abby is gone. But, we fight her and my goodness, what a troubling experience that was. Neither one want's to fight, while both are struggling to live. Tired of having merely survived all these months.

    The image of what Abby left behind, Joel's dying corpse, is now replaced by the image Joel left behind. A loving man, drinking coffee too late in the night, playing his guitar. He is soft here, because given the chance, he would have always been, and he is proud of Ellie, because when was he not? Killing Abby the way she is would ridicule the very life a man like Joel had lived.

    The game was heartbreaking because the emotions were spilling out. I did not like Abby, but playing as her made me sympathise with Ellie more. Playing as Abby made me understand that the world is not black and white, but shades of grey plastered over the horizon in uncomfortable shades, shades meant to push and pull, make your mind ebb and flow with the current this game chose to flow with. I am thrilled to say I loved this game, loved every second, while I wasn't too sure while playing it. For the mere fact that it destroyed my psyche, I think the Last of Us II is a masterful genius in its genre, and while the hate breaks my heart, I think it is not a game meant to be enjoyed by everyone.

To start, let’s talk leaks without spoiling anything. As someone who went in spoiled, I can say that it did ruin some surprise and I had prejudice going in. I must say that after playing, there are leaks that are completely false. The game does not spread any agenda other than its central theme of violence and revenge. There is no religious cults saying homophobic slurs. The character people thought was transgender is in fact a straight women. There is one trans side character and I’m sure most people wouldn’t even realize it. Gameplay: it’s still the last of us in its core, however it plays more like a metal gear game with prone added. As Ellie you are faster than Joel, constantly moving around. Playing on survival was a must for me. Every encounter must be thought about. Running and hiding is always an option. Spaces are much larger and it gives you breathing room to plan out routes to take to get an upper hand on an enemy. Upgrades are back, but this time there are different upgrade branches that you unlock by finding magazines. There are missable items/equipment so exploration is rewarded greatly. Weapons feel nice and have impact. There are new enemy types/upgraded infected from previous games that make you really think about how to approach them differently than their counterparts. They mesh together different enemies on maps together more than the first game. This game quite a few boss fights which surprised me in a nice way. Sound: beautifully orchestrated and captures the feel of the moment. Very similar to the first game. Enemies scream in agony during death. Infected sound even creepier. Clickers screeching is absolutely terrifying. Level design: absolutely amazing. Most areas have multiple paths to take. There is an open-world like section early on in the game that blew me away. There are many things to crawl under to hide, ways to sneak from one side of an area to another in fights. Items are usually in places that are intuitive. Scissors in Barber shops, scrap metal for weapon upgrades scattered on tool racks in garages, etc. overall just Well thought out level design that naughty dog is know. Graphics: best looking game I’ve seen. Better than red dead redemption 2 and anything I’ve seen on my high end pc.. and this is on a base model ps4. It’s just gorgeous to look at. Amazing feat.

    Story: If you can get over one major portion of the story (everyone that knows the spoilers knows what I’m talking about) you will enjoy this game. I guarantee you. Dont go in expecting the same game as before because it is tonally different. The story is darker than the first game. It tells the tale of Ellie and another character who I won’t mention in their quest for revenge, much in the vain of something like red dead redemption 1. The story takes many unexpected twists and turns and leaves you thinking about the game long after it’s over. This is a game of perspective. If you are someone who can see two sides to an argument and see where both are coming from, you will love the story.

It's honestly so odd that people dislike this game considering just how excellent it is. the plot may seem like a left field choice but I honestly loved the story choices. This isn't something for those who wanted a happy ending and things to go well for the characters we grew to like in part 1 (and honestly Joel did make such a dark choice and is by no means a hero). it's dark and complex and we need more of this non-pandering in media. I can only think naughty dog may have misjudged it's audience as this wasn't the narrative gamers wanted BUT it is an excellent narrative and would stand strong as a series or a movie. This isnt a marvel plot with heroes and villains. This is a horror game about people with questionable motivations that can be understood. the gameplay is excellent and akin to something like MGSV (not quite that flexible but the same sense of freedom) Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And so, just went through the game and would like to do a review. Behind lesbians and Abby's first breast size, a very blue plot is hidden, although not everyone sees it. “Violence begets other violence,” said Neil Drackmann, and he did not lie. One death gave rise to another, and that death is still a lot of deaths, and these deaths and so on. Around Abby's insults, many may not notice that she is a very deep character who avenged her father. What did Ellie do after that? She also avenged her “father”, killing everyone who was dear to her. There are no positive or negative characters in this game. There is rather more and less evil. And as for me the least is Abby. But you can and should be mad at her, because what did Joel do to her? He killed her father in order to save the girl in whom he saw his dead daughter, with the girl with whom he walked half the country. This is paternal love. It is not difficult for fathers to understand her, as for me, but naughty dog ​​was able to convey this love. The same love for any person, I think I would do the same, even with my daughter, even with a girl. This man is dear. It was very good to show the story from Abby, so we are left with a double opinion about the characters of this game. The end shocked me, but I am very glad that this is how it ended. Enough was the deaths all this time, killing Ellie or Abby, the developers would have destroyed the last drop of humanity in this game, but they did not. Yes, this is not the first part, but they are ABSOLUTELY different. Everyone should go through it at least 2 times, it’s good that there is a “new game +”. Everybody calls Neal, but I understood the game and I want to say thanks to Naughty dog. Just think about it and penetrate the plot, it is very deep. (Ellie and Abby, even here the catch in the similarity of names, which proves some genius of the developers). This game, like a great book, you need to go beyond its borders in order to understand it more. Dina and Jesse are characters purely for Ellie's storyline, so to speak. Abby's storyline characters were more interesting. And this Levi’s sneakers exactly like Ellie’s sneakers from tlou part first. This unreal, this story really legendary. Thank you Neil Druckmann and Naughty dog. Thank you. It’s really bad that people can’t understand this story, it’s so deeply. Expand

The path of revenge well that was surely painfull . Abby's story did make me a little angry at times .. specially at the end at the theatre. But later on I guess seeing her at the true end ..

    I’m a bit surprised by why this game has been the focus of such hate/trolling. The leaks before release were unfortunate and as a company with a commercial interest it’s almost impossible to handle situations like that right, but the bottom line is this game sets new standards in almost every aspect.

    The gameplay loop should be familiar to people acquainted with part 1, not too much new

The leaks before release were unfortunate and as a company with a commercial interest it’s almost impossible to handle situations like that right, but the bottom line is this game sets new standards in almost every aspect.

    The gameplay loop should be familiar to people acquainted with part 1, not too much new there but improvements across.

    What really sets this game apart for me is the sheer intensity, gut-wrenching moment after heart-breaking development after brutal encounter, every situation being executed to perfection.

    Naughty Dog managed to deliver an incredibly complex work of art, that still manages to shine in simplicity. Thank you!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think, and this is just my opinion, that a game that can make you feel all those emotions is worth game of the year, in my opinion game of the decade.

    It still hurts that Joel died, and how it die, but thats the last of us world, a world where no one dies in a heroic way, its dark, its mean, and I love playing in that world.

    If some day I would have the chance to meet Neil Druckman, I would thank him, not for giving me what I want, for giving me the best game I could ever play.

    Sometimes, I open the game just to play again the epilogue, to watch that emotional scene where joel and ellie have their last night conversation.

    And finally, the graphics and gameolay are awsome, but the music, Oh man the music is fantastic, the music in this game is perfect, it makes you feel every second on the game.

I didn’t think they could make a game that was as good as the first, this game will just make me want to play it again knowing what the outcome is. I will play it and try to get the 100% achievement in the game.

    It's pretty simple--the game is excessively well thought out and is excellent. People who are bombing it either have a bigoted side, or cannot handle having to digest something that isn't what they wanted. Neil crafts a story that forces you to look at this world through several perspectives, and many would rather have a heroic gore fest. This game is very timely in the face of that.

    A good and well-told story, with well-developed characters and a different point of view, is not a game of hero or villain, they are just survivors. I never felt things like I did playing the last of us part 2, fear, anger, guilt, sadness. One of the best games on ps4.

However, this game it was like I was Ellie. I was the one dealing the blows. I was the one having the traumatic feelings. I was the one right in her shoes. This game is meant to be played, not watched. You are meant to hold the controller. If you don’t, you are doing this game a great disservice for something that games this generation don’t do.

If everyone sets a revenge course after losing a friend or loved one where does it end? What's the true cost? Naughty dog have produced another masterpiece.

This game is literally about Ellie losing herself, and in the end, regaining some of her humanity. She is crippled by grief and past trauma, and you watch how much it affects her and her relationships. She does find her redemption and it is beautiful.

    I hope naughty dog is not affected by these bad, troll reviews. The game was amazing and emotional in ways i cannot explain. it was just magical.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm sorry, but the story of this game is brilliant. I simply cannot comprehend how people say it's bad. I think a lot of people can't get over Joel dying. There is a difference between something that you don't like happening in a story, and the story being bad.

    The Last of Us 2 brings another point of view to the table. A point of view in which Joel isn't actually such a good guy. He did things in first game that weren't that great, he killed a lot of people for selfish reasons. This game shows us BOTH points of views, Abby's and Ellie's. We see a lot of character development from both of these characters. Their stories intertwine and we realize that they are... almost the same. They both went looking for the same thing: revenge. Only to find out at the end that it's just not worth it. All that came from that revenge was pain, and death, and loneliness. I found it super interesting the way they told the story from Abby's perspective. I liked it. It shows us the world isn't always black or white.

    The game also shows us a lot of flashbacks. The moments shared between Ellie and Joel were simply wholesome and beautiful. The last flashback we see at the end shows us Ellie was angry at Joel after she found out he lied to her. She would have prefered to die to find a vaccine, she said that that way her life would have had a purpose. She ends up telling him that she doesn't think she can ever forgive him, but that she wants to try. That was the last time they saw each other. In my opinion this is what made her look for revenge. It wasn't because of Abby, it was because of herself. She didn't forgive him before he died, and that was eating at her inside.

    The end is bittersweet, but I really liked it. My interpretation of it is, when Ellie returns after sparing Abby's life, she finds out everything that she's lost due to her hunger for vengeance. But to me it really feels like she is... finally at peace? It feels like she finally forgave Joel. And at the same time, forgave herself.

    This game is simply a 10 for me. As I said, I really enjoyed the story. But the graphic aspect of it is simply outstanding as well. The music, brilliant. The characters, brilliant. The gameplay is very similar to TLOU1, but it's still fun and it works. They made some small changes that were needed as well. I don't know, maybe I'm just too positive, but I personally couldn't find any flaws in it.

Perhaps this is not a masterpiece in terms of building a story, but not a single game has yet caused such a storm of emotions and empathy in my head.

    Gameplay has become even better since the time of the fantastic first part. It’s really interesting, sometimes funny and exciting to play.

    The only right option in the case of The Last Of Us Part II is to buy this game and comprehend it on your own, without the help of anyone else from the side, because it will arouse completely different emotions in every person's mind.

    Objectively evaluating the product, I would put 9/10. For someone it might be 8/10, and someone will refuse to accept this story because of their own views and put the game 0/10, but my emotions and impressions do not allow me to put this game score below 10/10.

    Undoubtedly one of the main game of this generation, along with Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War.

The last of us II is a masterpiece in character development and ironically, the very blind emotional rage that has been present is a parallel for the whole story. I actually hope that in retrospect, that irony is not lost on people who actually play and finish the game. It's not about seeing what you wanted to see, it's about seeing beyond your blinkered perspective and predjudice. A truly amazing game, a very worthy sequel and I hope in time the bile is fittingly seen for what it is...
    Maybe some people should actually drop their linear mindedness and finish the game first to understand that this closed minded hate crusade is the very driving force of the game itself
