    Hey bud, I heard you hate this game with a burning passion. I can tell you why. You're soft, and a little upset Ellie can't be your imaginary girlfriend anymore.

    Anyways, the story was immaculately airtight and told brilliantly. Admittedly, I felt that the Abby portion of the game could have maybe used a little different pacing. It was great to see everything slowly piece together.    Hey bud, I heard you hate this game with a burning passion. I can tell you why.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is marvellous in every way but in saying that their is some huge flaws that just aren’t missable. For example the pacing in this game is bad and, for me, the most enjoyable parts of this game were with Ellie. Considering that she is only half of the game that is big. Before buying the game I emphasised with Abby but during my 20 hour play through I became to HATE her. It looks like there is potential for another instalment in the franchise but I don’t think most gamers will buy it anyway by the time it comes out in 2030.… Expand

If you dont agree with the story just dont give it a high grade. But the graphics, sound and gameplay are already worth a 7. This game is really good and i loved it! Congratz Naughty Dog!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is well done but it doesn’t really have that 7 year wait. The game really shows Ellie lust for revenge for killing Joel and all she lost just to get her peace and at the end not killing Abby because she knows killing her won’t make a difference. The ai is phenomenal is how killing one person can make the other scream out there name. The story is long so it’s worth the money I paid, but there have should have been two campaigns for Ellie and Abby or a dlc for Abby but keep why Abby killed Joel in the game And make Jessie a bigger character like a flashback where it’s a important moment with Ellie although very good game can’t wait for the next one… Expand

I honestly don't ever leave reviews or sign up for stuff I'll never use like metacritic, but I just really wanted to give my two cents. This game is amazing.

    Technically it's the best game I've ever played. The gameplay is very much like the first but it's a lot smoother and more deep than it was before. It's disappointing that each character still only has one animation for each thing that they do but it still feels really satisfying to do it. The game also looks amazing, it's up there with God of War and RDR2 as the most beautiful games I've ever played. The atmosphere at times can be truly terrifying, and the violence can sometimes be so brutal even i go "holy -" I think part of their goal was for the player to get sick of the violence and it really did that for me. Druckman said the game wouldn't be fun but engaging and that's how I felt playing it pretty much the whole time. The more wholesome parts of the game really warmed my heart as a huge fan of the first game and I also got to experience that unrelenting violence and terror all over again in a new game. I'm really pleased.

    As far as the story, it's great. It was a lot better than some people will give it credit. It's like when the leaks happened people just jumped on the hate train even if they weren't really that upset and are just making sure that people don't enjoy the things they want to enjoy. Those same people expect Ellie to still be a 14 yr old girl at heart even though her chances of being a cure for mankind have come and gone, which would be devestating. And they think Joel is an invinsible brick wall with no emotions, even though they've never seen him in an environment where he's not thinknig about survival 24/7. In the end I got all my questions from the first game answered, and that's all I really asked for. The timeline and pacing of the story was really engaging and I liked the way it was executed.

    All in all this game has taken a spot in in my top 5 of all time, and I can't gush about it enough. You should definitely play it yourself if you haven't, because I'm sure 90% of the people giving it poor reviews have no plans on even buying it. Definitely try it for yourself, I think you'll like it.    … Expand

Also the graphics are amazing, great lighting and sound design. I personally also liked the story because it was very bold of them to kill off a major character like that. A lot of games don't do that because of the hate they're going to get for it, but that's what I like about naughty dog. They're willing to take risks. I thought the ending was good, not too Disney, i guess. I just really enjoyed this game and all the characters.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful and captivating sequel that i really enjoyed to play through. After all the bad news and user critics I was skeptical first, but the experiment Naughty Dog dared turned out really great. Since a main character is murdered brutally in the beginning of the game, the further plot revolves around hate and revenge. By not only playing Elli, but also her opponent, the player can feel both points of view. Most things are not that simple as they seem to be. The game clearly shows that revenge is not a solution and can make things even worse. The graphics turnde out very good, but not great. I expected a little bit more. The levels were created rather open than linear, as it was in the first part. This leads to more interesting levels on the one hand, but a constant fear of overlooking something. The mechanic of playing both opponents was a interesting innovation, but i would have preferred to play both characters alternating rather than consecutively. All in all: A very good game definitely worth playing.… Expand

A huge fan of its predecessor, I was, like many fans I'm sure, anticipating this title way more than any other release this year. Promo trailers and pre-release gameplay footage aside, I managed to go into the game blind... almost. Despite trying to deftly avoid all spoilers following the controversial leaks at the end of April, ultimately one key scene managed to slip through my net. However, I was determined not to let this ruin my enjoyment of the game - if anything the furore and inexplicably vitriolic waves of hostility that were being levelled at the game that erupted online only served to strengthen my resolve to play it first and make my own mind up how I felt. Well, having done that (twice now, already), I can safely state that this game has not been a disappoint. Sure, certain story beats hit hard, but that's exactly what I was counting on from the get go - I wasn't expecting a happy-go-lucky road movie adventure. We all knew that this was going to be a darker, revenge-oriented story, and even way back when the very first teaser trailer was released, some of the fan ase plot theories that immediately started circulating really weren't so wide of the mark, so certain key plot elements shouldn't have been such a leap of disbelief. As for the narrative, it's brilliantly written. The sterling performances from the entire cast really help flesh out this world - even the NPC dialogue feels so much more naturalistic, especially during combat - I was utterly riveted once I got fully immersed in palm-sweatingly tense slealth, mêlée combat and gunplay encounters with this infinitely more realistic array of foes. And as to the horror quotient: there are some genuinely harrowing jump-scares and breath-holdingly creepy encounters that kept me glued, unblinking, to my TV screen. There are some brilliantly vertiginous, stomach-turning key sequences too. In fact, at times, the entire game feels like a long string of finely crafted set-pieces. It does suffer a little with pacing issues at times, but as a gamer who likes to take their time and get their money's worth, this really didn't bother me all that much. My first playthrough took me a smidge over 50 hours, my second, 45 or so. Ker-ching. Gameplay-wise, there are improvements to the overall mechanics that make this so much more fluid and satisfying. I've played the original through probably a dozen times now since its release - and I can see myself returning to The Last Of Us Part II for many repeat visits to come.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to admit I've just finished TLOU2 today after I had bought on release date. And I've been hearing the quarrels about this game and always tried to avoid them to make my own experience.
    And after all that, it is a really good game and I enjoyed every second of it. I can understand both point of views. However, I won't understand and talk to the people who are complaining about transsexual characters or that Abby is simply too ugly or similar s**** like this.
    It's shocking and in some way frustrating if the polt twist contains a change of characters and nobody wanted to play Joel's killer. But Naughty Dog tried something new and they did it really good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game and I think it was a masterpiece. I felt so many different emotions throughout, it truly made me think and that’s what I think was a big part of this game. It didn’t make you just think in terms of story but also in terms of strategy. The gameplay was fluid and playing on survival made me really plan out my next steps. I don’t fully understand a lot of other peoples hate for the story, yes it was brutal what happened to Joel and sad to see him die so early however it’s a brutal world they live in and that’s what happened. I think they did amazing work as I was enraged and distraught just as Ellie was, I wasn’t just playing as Ellie I was Ellie. Then things turned around and something happened that none of us expected, we were forced to play as the character we had come to hate. However it gave us an opportunity to do what a lot of people don’t do, look at the other side of the picture. I felt sick at first having to play as Abby, however as time went on and we found out more I began to almost understand in some way. Again it made me think...I still hated Abby for what she did but I know why she did it, it’s more or less the same reason for why Ellie is going down her own revenge path. I fully understood by the end that the main idea was forgiveness and the ability to move on, breaking the cycle of revenge. Abby has clearly been through a lot with the rattlers and I think that was one of the reasons that Ellie let her go, mainly though I believe it was that she saw Joel in Abby at that point, regarding her love and dedication to saving Lev, just as Joel did for Ellie. Furthermore I just want to say how amazing the little details are in this game and the side stories you find out through collecting artefacts. The scenery and the music. This game was a masterpiece to me, harrowing yet beautiful. I could go on and on, there may be things that weren’t quite right with the game but If so I don’t care. I enjoyed it and that’s what matters. Also just play it to blow someone’s legs off with explosive arrows.… Expand

    With Part II, Naughty Dog improved greatly on gameplay for the player. Survival horror was revived with the first game and now is remastered and improved with Part II.
    With having creatures that can’t be heard and that are faster and harder to go against from what you were used to. And also humans having difficulty strategy due to which group they are apart of.
    For a gameplay perspective, it’s better than the first in many ways.
    Story-wise, I can see where the team was going with this approach, and I can’t say that it fully worked for me though. I will commend them for being different and having us play from perspectives. But the way the game was edited and pasted made it not only a little confusing at certain points but made the player forced to finish the game with them not wanting to.
    Many are frustrated due to leaks and deaths, but The Last of Us Part II is not just a story, but still a video game with that.
    It isn’t correct to hate a game for its leaks and delays, you are at fault for looking into them and spoiling for yourself.

    Even if you might not like the story of TLOU2, technically this is the most amazing game out there. The way all the animations blend in so smoothly is great, the dynamic combat with how you always have to think what move you're going to make with the add of the beautiful graphics, which sets the atmosphere incredibly, and the sound design is just mind blowing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is clear that this is a very polarizing game, and I can understand why some people are upset, but I don't share the common anger directed at this game. I found The Last of Us Part II to be a very unique game in that it solicited an emotional reaction I have very very rarely felt while playing a video game, and in some cases in any other form of media. I believe this game is so successful because it is the first time I have felt that the interactive aspects of video games have produced feelings of personal unease and guilt that can't be replicated in print or film.

    From here on out there are spoilers, so do not read until you have finished the game.

    In the first act of the story, I felt a constant sense of dread. I contribute this to the pacing of the first act and the sound design. If you can play this game with surround sound do so. Naughty Dog uses many tricks taken from cinema such as low-frequency sound to produce unease. Of course, this culminates in the death of Joel. I'm not going to discuss the writer's decision to kill Joel, but I will say that the way it was done was very well crafted. It was emotional and haunting and the themes that stem from the killing permeate the rest of the game.

    The rest of the story is engaging in my opinion, but the finale was not very shocking. Unlike many others, I felt I could sympathize with Abby, and I felt that she fit in with the game's shades of grey morality. I will agree with other's arguments that the story feels unfinished as you never achieve any of Ellie's goals. It feels like you just watch Ellie loose so much with nothing to gain. Others have said the characters and the rest of the story were tone-deaf, and I do not agree with this. I do not wish to discredit opposing views, but I simply disagree. The characters made sense, they were engaging, and their actions were rational. Tonally the game nailed it in my opinion. If I were to compare The Last of Us Part II to a movie it would be the 2009 film The Road. Both are dark, character-driven narratives that relentlessly drive home the point that the apocalypse is brooding and dark and not someplace you want to be. I believe this was Naughty Dog's goal, and I believe they nailed it.

    The graphics and sound design are amazing. There's not much more for me to elaborate on. They're the best we have seen on this generation of consoles, and rival modern-day PC graphics in many ways.

    The gameplay as well is excellent. The fights are vicious, unrelenting, and desperate. It is refreshing playing a game where you do not feel you are playing as some super-killing machine, and that you must use your wits to come out on top. Most encounters are asymmetric and require you to approach them with thought and deliberation. When stuff gets out of control it turns into a desperate battle where you try to exploit your opponent's weaknesses and maximize your character's relative strengths. It is fun and refreshing.

    I'm also going to add that this game is very violent, and I think that is good. Video games too often make violence appear fun and almost comedic. The Last of Us Part II tries to mimic real violence as closely as they can and it is unsettling. There were numerous times where I felt uncomfortable after an encounter, and that is a profound feeling. The fight as Abby against the scar where you slice open his mouth with a scythe comes to mind as very unsettling. The opponents in this game feel very human, and the game takes violence seriously.

    Overall I think this is a game you should play. Despite what many people say I think Naughty Dog achieved their goals in producing a dark and gritty post-apocalyptic world to explore, and in many ways they have acheived what no other developer has been able to do so far.    … Expand

A lot of people have talked poorly of the game without giving it a second thought / playing with tunnel vision.
    My honest review is that I truly don’t think I’ll ever have an experience like this in my lifetime again. The amount of work these people put into this game shows, and it shows a LOT. From the sounds (if you shoot a person, the death screams are haunting. If you shoot them in the mouth or throat, you can hear the blood fill up their throat and lungs. It’s insanely realistic. Even the sound of rain as it hits different surfaces.. you can HEAR the difference) to the facial expressions were absolutely phenomenal. One thing I kept mentioning was how REAL the characters looked and acted. Their facial expressions were so amazing to look at. It was awe-inspiring. The mechanics were near flawless, the environment was beautiful from the forest down to the scary, spore-infested buildings.
    As for the story, I don’t want to say too much due to spoilers, but it had me hooked from beginning to end. It broke my heart and ravished my soul over and over again but I feel like it was a GOOD thing. It pulled emotions from me harder than any game I have ever played previous to this (I have a large back catalog of these) to the point that I cried remembering some things even after the credits rolled and I had the time to take a day to think about it.
    I chose to give this game a 10/10. It is well-deserving of this score and I wish I could rate it higher.

Decisions that made narrative sense, and gave the story meaning and weight. The game also introduces a roster of new characters that are not immediately likeable, but i personally grew to understand and love. The game mechanics is also stellar, improving on the all the good parts of the first game, and introducing a few new and fun things. Graphics are top notch.

    Naughty Dog could have just made another fun stealth zombie shooter like the first game, but they chose to do that while also telling a story that questions themes such as violence, tribalism, and how humans deal with loss, grief, and vengeance. I personally feel like this was an ambitious take that paid off, and has raised the bar for videogames, to affect people on the level of art. Thats not to say videogame isn't already art. It takes a team of various skillsets to make any videogame. and it takes them years to get a game into the hands of gamers who could easily disparage it even without playing it . So if you've read the leaks and dislike what you read, or you've heard a lot of vitriolic comments about the game but havent tried it for yourself, do give it a fair knock before writing it off. you may not agree with all of the choices ND made in this game which is completely fair, but you will definitely get something out of it!    … Expand

    Я, как человек чувствительный и эмоциональный, заранее ознакомилась со спойлерами (делаю так всегда, мне так легче и проще), чтобы не сильно бомбить в процессе игры, поэтому процесс принятия сюжетных поворотов у меня начался заранее, и к началу прохождения я подошла в, так скажем, стадии депрессии)) В целом да, и у меня было полнейшее неприятие всего произошедшего в начале, огонь из задницы до луны и обратно и вот это вот все, НО! Но просто дайте игре шанс, и возможно к концу вы получите такой эмоциональный опыт, какой не может дать ни одна ААА игра на данный момент (на мой взгляд).

It’s such a shame that these people cannot go through the process of the game to form their own judgment. It also goes to show these people don’t have a level of maturity required to play these games and/or have had much life experience. The pros: The story is phenomenal and a worthy experience. This is a game that will make you experience emotions and connections that you wouldn’t have experienced via a film or other game. These are real life emotions that will leave you unsettled at times and wanting to take a break. I had to stop the game on numerous times to take a break from the intensity. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic, it’s an improvement on the first game and so fluid. I never had any issues during the game. If anything, playing this game and having to go back to other games has marred those games. Nothing will be as good as this to date.

    The game is stunningly gorgeous with an incredible amount of details, from the grass, water and yes, even how the blood splatters.

    The soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla remains poignant and on note for his post-apocalyptic story while the environmental sound is as detailed as the graphics of them.

    The gameplay is an improved formula over the previous game:
    - Giving more options on how to tackle your enemies by adding silencers, the ability to go prone, etc.
    - Increasing the variety of the enemies and their abilities.
    - Most of all, the game sets a new bar for customization and accessibility, allowing the player to customized the difficulty of the game they want to play like no game before.

    The story is, well published by now, divisive. It appears that some people hate it but for myself, no other game provided such a roller-coaster of emotions and such an amount of inner discussion on the themes of vengeance, forgiveness and redemption.

It's a 10/10 game for me

    I think it is important to make a difference between if a work of art is well made and if you liked experiencing it. The last of us 2 was an anxiety ridden, frustrating, anger inducing and sad experience for me. I cant say i had "fun" with it in a sense of i was laughing and joyful. But that's not what this games aspires to be. Still it is a 10/10 game for me because the narrative is cohesive, thought provoking and self reflective. I found myself stopping every so often to discuss with my partner how i or him would have reacted in the same or similar situation. The game keeps holding a mirror in front of your face and makes you think about the things that the characters in the game face themselves. The characters are met with such incredibly complex emotions and situations that make simple "yes no" answer just impossible.
    I wasn't happy with the decisions that were made and the characters that were killed/not killed on a personal level but that's the point. on a analytic and professional level I dont have to agree with the choices of other people same as i don't have to agree with the choices that characters make in a video game.
    I would probably have reacted differently, but i respect the choices that were made and every death (yes..even THAT one) was a good choice in the context of story telling and motivation for the different consequences that unraveled after those deaths.

    Naughty dog made a masterpiece. Its coherent and it is able to pull the player in its gut wrenching story line, that made me unable to pull away from being asked very hard questions that have no clear answer.

    I really think people need to get over themselves just because decisions in the game are different from what those players would have decided themselves. I hope naughty dog doesn't deter from making such incredible thought provoking and brave pieces in the future.    … Expand

    Cheguei agora aqui pq eu tava me blindando de tudo relacionado a esse jogo, zerei ele ontem, e isto é o que achei do jogo :
    Primeiramente, achei que a tag de +18 no game, não é só para a violencia grafica, mas também pela própria história do jogo, é uma história forte, real e que lida com principalmente sobre as consequencias de cada personagem, quando comecei a jogar o jogo, jogando com a ellie e vendo o joel morrer, fiquei com raiva, com sede de vingança, assim como o personagem naquele momento, porém, quando jogamos com a abby vimos o outro lado da história, pra mim, abby e ellie são como um espelho, as 2 tinham "familia" amigos, pessoas com que se importavam e que se deixaram esvair por vingança. A cena final, é pesada, mas ao mesmo tempo é linda, mostra a abby, com toda as coisas horriveis que ela fez e como isso não adiantou de nada, ela continua sendo lembrada pelo aquilo que fez, perdeu tudo, assim como ellie. Quando ellie deixa a abby viver, ela acaba percebendo isso, assim como abby, de que matar por vingança para preencher o próprio ego, não valeria a pena, pois tudo na vida, tem um custo. No primeiro jogo, Sam pergunta pra ellie qual era o maior medo dela, e ela diz "meu maior medo é acabar sozinha" e foi justamente o que aconteceu, pela sua sede de vingança. Chorei demais nesse jogo, me impactou de uma forma gigante, e me fez repensar algumas coisas sobre a vida, para mim, The Last of Us Part 2 é uma obra-prima, me deixou muito mais pensativo do que no primeiro jogo, sobre escolhas e suas consequências, perdoar aqueles que estão ao nosso redor, pois ignora-las só fará com que você sofra ainda mais no futuro, caso essa pessoa venha a falecer. Senti que a ellie se arrependeu de ter tratado o joel daquela forma, essa foi uma das mensagens mais fortes que recebi do jogo.    … Expand

    I finished my first play through of The Last of Us Part II yesterday. One word describes my overall experience, wow! My hat is off to Neil Druckmann and the Naughty Dog team on their beautifully dark masterpiece.

My hat is off to Neil Druckmann and the Naughty Dog team on their beautifully dark masterpiece. Before I get into the story (which is clearly either I love it or I f@*$ing hate it), lets chat about the graphics.
    I had NO idea our gracefully aging PS4 console had this much untapped potential. The incredible (INCREDIBLE) details, the animations, the acting, the dense and plush and extremely realistic environments, and the facial animations are insane. Talk about helping to suck you into the story. I don’t know how many times I was staring at the screen during a cut scene, mouth agape, and then realizing that I was making the same disgustingly contorted look of pain, anger, hate, and extreme sadness, mirroring Ellie! Boy, did it cause me (and clearly everyone else because of the emotional impact it is causing across the PS4 community) FEEL. And it does all of this while running at what is a very smooth frame rate. At least on my PS4 Pro.
    Now, the story. Oh boy, was this a roller coaster ride. I’m not talking a little kids wanna be ride, I’m talking about the God damn Kingda Ka! The direction of the story is EXTREMELY different than the first game, which does explain some of the hate. But omg, was it surprising and emotional. And realistic. Very, very realistic. It doesn’t necessarily feel like a story written by the very talented team at ND because everything that happens is believable. Emotionally realistic. Ill compare it to hearing my Grandpa’s war stories from WWII. No, I’m not equating WWII to a video game folks, but I am saying that it gives me a somewhat similar overall feeling. The feeling that I was being told about something so powerful, real, and impacting that actually took place. But is hard to believe that it took place because it is so world changing. Not a made up story. In addition the “heroes”, the good AND the bad are all given detailed back stories. They help us to see and feel that the opposing side is arguably just as legitimate in their, what we thought were heinous acts. Empathy. That the “bad guys” might not be so bad and the “heroes” might not be all that heroic. That we are ALL humans and we all make mistakes. And sometimes bad decisions.
    No, I will not be playing this as much as the first game. Not because it is lacking in any areas or isn't as fun but because it is so emotionally impacting. Because it no longer feels like I am playing a game. It now feels like I am playing a movie. But I absolutely love it and hope ND continues down this road.    … Expand

    The game was perfect in everything. I can understand that story would have been better but it is still not bad at all. It is realistic!! A story from two different perspectives which is genius!! Some people want everything to end perfectly and the story hero wins everything and looks very very ideal!!. Sorry, this isn’t realistic!! This isn’t humans story in very difficult situations!!The game was perfect in everything. I can understand that story would have been better but it is still not bad at all. It is realistic!!

    Even if you think that story wasn’t good enough. That means -2 points out of 10. Then what about different aspects: gameplay, graphics,.....etc.

    This why 3 , 0 , 5 , 2 score isn’t realistic at all. And doesn’t make any sense!!!. You aren’t happy with the story then your score should be between 7 and 9....please respect the impressive work done by game developers. It is almost perfect...this why I gave it 9.5    … Expand

    Form your own opinion, if you believed the first was a great game you'll love the second game. If you loved the story that pushed the boundaries of morality, you'll love this one too.

    This game is a masterpiece. Even if you don’t like the story, how ND pulled off such an amazing experience is mind blowing. The intense scenes, actions parts, and stealth segment are all pulled off on an unparalleled way.

    The too political or bad story complaints are utter BS by Xbox/Nintendo fan boys or insecure babies. The “leaks” and assumptions made are completely inaccurate about the new character and proves they didn’t play the game. They are the problem as people who didn’t get a story they want leaving unjustified bad reviews. Complaints that Abby is too built to be as girl, score it a 0? Really? None of this makes it a bad game or takes away from what ND pulled off. Its completely ridiculous.

    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]
