    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely incredible. Never in my life as a game left me with tears running down my face. When I first started playing as Abby I was pissed I had to play was the person who tortured and murdered Joel. After "Day 2" I had no choice but to be invested in her story. I was again upset when I had to attack Ellie and then elated when Lev stops "me" from murdering Dina. When Ellie tracks Abby down in California I was fully prepared to murder Abby but she had Lev with her and they were both broken, when Ellie is drowning Abby I literally had tears running down my face.

    GOTY for me, never has a game made me so emotionally invested in the "villain" (whatever that means), because in Abby's story Ellie is the villain, so to be able to see both sides made me rethink how much I hated Abby in the beginning. Such an amazing and unique way to tell a story.    … Expand

    I started playing with a huge amount of uncertainty as I heard bad things. I truly think this game is as good as the original.

I think there is some very mild "agenda pushing" but that absolutely did not really take anything away from the game for me. It is a story that leaves you in deep thought when the game is over, something that only a few developers such as Naughty Dog can accomplish. This game absolutely does not deserve the type of bad press it gets and I can only recommend playing for yourself.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 was hard to get through. The game is very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat.

    Graphics: Visually stunning. Environments look realistic with the fantastic lighting. Animations are superb. The characters have weight to them when you move. The game has some of the best looking water I've ever seen.

    Sound: This is what made the game so intense and immersive. The calls of the infected are chilling. Killing people was especially gruesome. If you injure someone they'll scream as they bleed out or gurgle through a slit throat.

    Gameplay: Here is where I felt the game fell a little flat. Combat is mostly the same from the first game, but the way in which you interact with the environment is vastly improved. Letting players go prone and able to go under structures and vehicles felt really good. The game is exceptionally violent but it does not glorify it.

    Story: I liked it a lot. There are major character developments that shake up the series. The story is depressing but in a way that makes sense.

    Overall: A 9/10 for me. I had no idea what to expect from it and thoroughly enjoyed the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t believe the false negatives! This game is great. Grinded it on survival mode for 31 hours. Fantastic storyline and impeccable character development. From hating Abby, to rooting for her to kill Ellie in the end when you realize she’s actually the more altruistic of the two; this game surely sends you on an emotional rollercoaster. Not to mention the countless deaths of supporting characters you wanted to see thrive (Yara, Jesse, Manny). Joel had it coming and we all know it. The brutal battles scenes and challenging 1v30 WLF/Scar slaughtering served to impress beyond anything Last of Us 1 could offer. Seeing both sides of the story through the eyes of Abby and Ellie was truly masterful by the devs. And left you deeply contemplating who was in the right. On to what I didn’t like .. At times the game would feel very repetitive in that “ok, we’re here and we need to get 5 miles that way through crumbled building and hordes of enemies.” If the battles weren’t so intense and graphically amazing, this would have made a big impact on my score. My final word and issue with the game... Did we really need to go to San Francisco to reach the same outcome? Don’t get me wrong, the battle with the Rattlers is awesome and it felt like they would never stop coming out of the woodwork, but Ithad the same ending that the theater battle had. No one actually believed the devs would kill a changed Abby and protecter of Lev. When Ellie was initially shown at the farm with Dina and JJ, I thought it was over. I hoped it was over! But they instead added that extra bit in San Francisco because they thought it’s what we wanted. It didn’t bother me too much, but I know deep down that it just wasn’t really necessary apart from maybe setting up for Part 3. That’s all, hope you enjoyed my review.… Expand

The Music was awesome as always and the attention to detail was a lot improved, eben though in the First Part i thought that it couldnt get much better. There are some easter eggs that made me smile, like Gustavo Santoalalla playing guitar. And that you can explore auch huge parts of seattle was a really nice experience. Everything was really immersive and the fights were really terrifying. At oke Point i was disappointed by the story and I really didnt want to keep playing as abby Even though now i have to das that her story was very interesting and I would Even want to See what will Happen with her in lev(Finding the fireflies). I just think that Joel didn’t deserve to die this way and Ellie didn’t deserve her biggest to fear become true, she lost everyone and now even her memory is getting left behind because she can’t play the song anymore. Anyways just like reality there aren’t always happy ends.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got acquainted with the first part already in the reissue on PS4. The game undoubtedly hooked me and settled in my heart, and the news of the sequel made me just tremble. I was impatient to see the old characters after many years, to find out what became of them and what path they went through. And I got it all in the second part.
    From the first sight, the first sound, you feel the love of the creators. You look at Joel, Tommy, and Ellie, and you remember how the journey was made. However, this path was a stumbling block. When you finished the first part, did you have any questions? Did Joel do the right thing? As a father, Yes, but as a person on whom the survival of the species depends? Many people looked at what was happening through the prism of the fact that they were killing simple bots, but after all, in the essence of the story itself, there were the same people trying to survive in that disgusting world. And as we see, there are no actions that have passed without a trace. I didn't see any spoilers, but I suspected that something would happen to Joel either off-screen or in-frame. And so it turned out.
    A question for those who think the game is bad because Joel was killed: "Why?" You know what kind of world the game is in. This is not a Marvel's happy ending. Here, death can occur at any moment. Killing Joel is a great scenario solution, showing that if you bring death yourself, you can't hide from it later. The character of Abby is not just a woman with cans, like a bodybuilder, and squeezing heavy weights. Yes, it may have been different, as it may not have been LGBT ideas, but this is the world where we live. But the plot of all this does not change its essence. Drakman-well done, that was not afraid to reduce the impact of all this to a minimum.
    The character Abby turned out to be well-written with a story that you understand. She has a difficult fate, like everyone else in the game. But people see only a shell, inside which a person is just as vulnerable and weak, who wants justice. The characters of Dean and Jessie were not very clear. They were not enough to understand who and what they were.
    In General, the plot is good, not without flaws, but there will never be an ideal scenario in the world. There will always be victims for the sake of history.

    Gameplay of the game has made a leap forward. Of course, the base remained unchanged-craft and stealth. But the new interaction with the world just blows your head off. Gorgeous interaction with the world, combat and stealth tactics are infinitely diverse, you do not feel safe even in apparently empty places where no one is present. Enemies are not stupid bots, as in 95% of games, you are not allowed to sit still not in battle, not in stealth, and the success of survival is only your skill. I can scold only for the prolonged action towards the end, or I just got too full of it. There are no comments about the image and sound - 10/10. I wanted to explore the world more and more, so the presence of only one open location for research is upsetting, I would like more.

    I don't know why people don't see the pros of the game, but only the cons. If you are fixated on Dina's armpits, then the very movements that irritate you have won. You didn't see the game, you only saw the cover, which had a small scratch on it that you stuck to.    … Expand

Puede que la historia al final sea un poco rápida y no te da el tiempo de degustar lo que pasa pero se compensa con su buena narrativa. Hay ciertos aspectos que se sobré explotaron y se sintieron forzados como es el tema de la sexualidad de Ellie o la forma forzosa por empatizar con Abby, pero fuera de eso esta bien. La narrativa de “The last of us” es oscura y triste, te explica de un principio que los personajes por muy queridos que sean pueden morir en cualquier momento. El juego si te mantienes centrado en la historia (sin tomar en cuenta el montón de distractores que mantiene el juego, ya sea exploración o mejoras) las emociones que te hace sentir juegan un papel crucial para el entendimiento de los personajes y la historia.… Expand

    BUT exactly this is what makes this game so unique. The Problem is that we as Players love Ellie and Joel so much and identify with then that we are Not able to see things from an objektive point of view. Think about it..what makes joel and elli better then abby and there friend, or all the people they killed during their journey?
    This game wants the Player to see things from a hole different perspective and exactly this is the method to Show us the brutal world of the last of us.
    It hurts to be honest but on the other side its what makes this game so damn realistic.

Для меня была неожиданность смерть Джоэла, как будто отняли что-то личное, родное. В тот момент я переживал Элли и полностью разделял её намерения о мести. Но чёртовы доги так играют с эмоциями, что чем дальше, тем сложнее смотреть на Элли, во что она превращается. Ещё очень сильная часть игры, это был показан конфликт с двух сторон, тяжело было смотреть на их истязания в конце. Вообще, конец максимально грустный, Элли заплатила за свою месть. Я считаю оно того не стоило, просто мне очень интересно что бы на всё это сказал Джоэл, как бы он направил Элли? Ставлю 10-ку, хоть и первые 2 часа геймплея за Эбии были нудноваты, но на фоне всего остального эти 2 часа меркнут. Просто возьмите геймпад и пройдите её.… Expand

It's emotionally jarring but I feel like that was the intention. The gameplay is excellent for those who enjoy interactive movies.

It's a look at a grief process in a world gone violent.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2... A game which answers allot of questions that I had from the first. This game also raises many, but this is why I like it. I went into this game without seeing any reviews, because I didn't want my own view to be hindered by others which i find tends to infect peoples minds which has happened with previous games or films due to their popularity or unpopularity. Lets start with the gameplay, Truly out of all game experiences I had with single player games, I have never played a game with so few bugs. The only 2 bugs I saw in my entire run through were gaps in textures during the Tommy section with Abby. I give the gameplay experience a 10/10, however the gameplay is not all the last of us brings. It brings a story of anger and to be fair, I don't think story wise, this game is as good as the first. However you would be deluded to think the gameplay hasn't had some vast improvement. The world is stunning and really brings an atmosphere with really fluid gameplay mechanics which have improved even more from the first game. I honestly couldn't write enough about how good the gameplay and graphics are in this game, because it is truly a standard all games should aim for.

    Now onto the story, honestly I don't understand all the hate with the story, I find the brave writing refreshing because there is too much fan service nowadays than what the writer wants. I believe a truly good story is one that the writer believes is right for the story. I agree that there are some coincidences to benefit movement of the story, however these are not story breaking. The argument that Joel's sending off was cheap is delusional. People forget that this is last of us part 2, not last of us 2. Completely disregarding the first game as character development and saying his outing was cheap is crazy to me. The whole scenario that happened to getting Joel killed is clearly an attempt by the writer to get the player angry, and I know this was a strong focus by the writer, because he is constantly trying to make you lose your temper with the story. People need to understand that just because you're angry with the writing, doesn't make it bad writing. As far as plot holes go, I personally did not spot any, and the people that have said there are, I haven't seen a clear one. If the only plot hole is Ellie killed 100s of people to not get revenge, is completely stupid. I guess the player doesn't want any action, I guess we want a post-apocalyptic tour simulator. Let's not forget you can technically go through allot of the game with killing very few people anyway. The most interesting part with the story was the attempt by the writer to make us feel sorry for Abby after already setting the player with a bias relationship with Ellie. It really gives you a reality check to think even when a characters actions are justified are still treated as the villain is truly worrying when you think about human psychology. The ending was similar to the first with more of a realism take however this time was unsatisfying to the player. This was not done purposefully by the writer but is on of the reasonable outcomes. I truly think the ending I think every player was hoping for would have truly been sad. A tragic story with a tragic end, however I think the one that was chosen was just fine.

    I'm running out of space so I will end with this. The game is not a masterpiece, nor is it that unique, however to say it is a bad game is completely delusional. A must play and is still a game of the year contender in my book. The hate is mainly generated by the writer doing what he wants and not what the player wants. It's a story about realism, just like the first. But it seems the fan base only like it went the realism turns in their favor. Thanks for the experience naughty dog, and thanks for reading.    … Expand

    as the lyrics fit perfectly in Ellie's situation.
    The thing that hit me deep was Ellie walking away from that guitar.. the last thing that reminded her of Joel. The memory of Joel is what kept her on the path of revenge, which lead to more pain and loss. She finally came to terms with it and leaves Joel behind.

All of this because of an outbreak that spreadThe Last of Us Part II is anything but simple. At first glance you’d argue that it is. It’s about a set of characters in a post-apocalyptic world. Food, medical supplies and other basic necessities are in shortage. The government has crumbled and in it’s place factions have risen to either gain control or give hope to the people around them. All of this because of an outbreak that spread to quickly to even give people a chance to find a cure or an appropriate way to contain the infection. Days Gone, Dying Light, The Walking Dead, DayZ, and many other games have touched upon this concept of an infected-filled world. It’s hard to talk about this game without revisiting the first one because Part II does start with the end of Part 1. So you got Ellie - your escorts mission throughout all of Part I - and she is immune to the fungi that creates these zombie-like creatures in this game. in fact, she is probably the only one that is immune. Then you got Joel, who is your main protagonist in the first game and the one that has to take Ellie to one of the factions called the Fireflies in hopes that they can study Ellie and find a cure. You get to see Joel lose her actual daughter early on in Part I and thusly see him hesitate in taking on the task of escorting a 14-year old girl in Ellie across America to the hospital that will find a cure for humanity. He takes the job anyways and in his journey with this girl begins to empathize with her and allows himself to bond with her as though she was his daughter. Given that he is all sorts of gray, he ends up taking a decision that impacts the future of humanity in saving Ellie and you have the premise of Part II.

    Joel kills the only known neurosurgical expert that can perform the necessary procedure to study Ellies brain. The reason, he couldn’t bare losing his newly adopted daughter as the surgery would have killed her. Without hesitation, Joel rushes into the operating room, takes out the doctor, takes out anyone and everyone in his way and saves Ellie, while at the same time dooming humanity. You see this morally gray guy take a definitive action, a selfish one at best and you have to deal with it while also questioning what would you have done if you were in his exact same shoes. If you experienced the TLOU Part I and allowed yourself to be in Joel and Ellie’s shoes, you were probably engrossed in the story about them two as a father and daughter, and the infected world became secondary to their story. Still important but not the real focus of the story. Part II does the same thing. It starts off revisiting that hospital scene and giving you Joels rationale. Then, you play as Ellie for most of the game and then Abby for another good portion of the game. You get to see what happens because of Joel’s action through both of these characters. How they internalize it, how they express their feelings outward and how they inevitably impact the immediate world around them. This is still an infected world with more chaos than the first one, as no cure is found after things fell apart thanks to Joels action four years prior. Though you live in this world and interact with the present factions and learn about factions of the past, the game informs you that it is not about the world and instead it is about the characters you interact with in the world. Ellie is not hunted for the cure because she was not necessarily identifiable. Joel was because he was. So instead of this game being about hunting Ellie and her escaping it, it is about Ellie dealing with Joel’s actions and her own actions. It is also about Abby and her actions, as how it relates to Joel. The world that’s here is to inform you about the characters’ mind set and how it can push them forward to take certain actions or help them hold back. This game is not one note, contrived or preachy. At least I didn’t think it to be. It can be cut and dry at points and shocking at others but there’s deeper meaning to everything that happens and it happens organically. What I like most about this game, that may not be new, is that it goes off the path to give you uncomfortable moments that make you think about the society we live in and the society in this world. It makes you think about your own values and moral codes in comparison to the characters you play as. Of course, that is if you let it happen. At the end you go along on a tough ride in which you as a player clash with your characters actions in pivotal moments. This game is a buy, just like the first one was. It is well told and well crafted, and deserves your attention. It has great combat mechanics, visceral action, a unique cast of characters that are well enough fleshed out for you to care for them (pay attention to flashback as and notes) and will leave you thinking the game through days after you finish it.    … Expand

New game plus does provide some incentive for replayability however it does not do enough to keep one playing the game for a long time.

    Definitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiereDefinitivamente uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida... no es que no haya juegos que lo superen con respecto a la narrativa y mucho menos jugabilidad, pero es plenamente un juego el cual no me arrepiento haber conseguido, y experimentado gracias a Dios con un mente lo suficientemente abierta para con ello asegurarme de comprender más allá de lo que este juego me quiere hacer entender. Como dije, este juego no es perfecto, y algunos de los factores que hacen que no lo sea para mí,, es el orden de los eventos acontecidos en la historia, siento que la estructura que se planteó para el videojuego no fue la correcta por lo que el juego no fue del agrado de una gran parte de las personas que lo esperaban con ansias (Aunque igualmente iba a existir un grupo que a pesar de todo odiría el juego sin importar absolutamente nada). Por otro lado, quieren darte a entender la diversidad en cuestión de preferencias y personas con diferentes perspectivas sobre sí mismos que existe dentro de los establecimientos de la desarrolladora al momento de crear el juego, mas lo llegué a sentir, no relevante, mas si parcialmente forzoso el tema de la cuestión inclusiva. Pero por todo lo demás, considero que es un juego que te da justo lo que no esperabas de la secuela de esta grandiosa historia, y es justamente lo que YO esperaba, al enfatizar con esto, quiero decir que no quiero estar de repente hablando por todos, si no que es mi opinión, como yo veo el juego, y cómo no decepcionó para nada, porque después de el primer título, esta era la secuela que necesitaba, más cruda, más brutal, más gráfica, más sangrienta, menos melosa, y más realista.… Expand

    The last of us 2 isn’t a masterpiece, but it also isn’t a 5.1 game (metacritic user score). The last of us 2 has many moments that don’t mean much and have almost no deeper meaning, many of the things in the game happen because the writers wanted to “shock” the person playing it, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when used so many times makes it less shocking and more repetitive and exhausting. I hated playing as Abby, not because she killed Joel or anything like that, I actually liked her character a lot, but because the way the story is told makes it very irritating. *Spoilers* : when Abby kills Jesse and is about to kill tommy, the only thing I wanted to know was “WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?”, but the game then switches to Abby in Seattle Day 1, and we go almost until the end of the game playing as her. When we finally come to the scene where she might kill tommy and Ellie, the “hype” to it was almost completely lost, and it could have had more impact if they didn’t wait so long to show what happened (but that’s a very personal complaint I have, and many people might not have been bothered by it).
    The Last of us 2 challenges the player to forgive. When Joel is killed by Abby all we want is to revenge him, and we believe we’ll never forgive her for doing what she did, but as the story goes, the game makes us play as her and understand her side, understand that she isn’t just an villain, which we later learn that she actually isn’t, and challenges us to forgive her. At the end of the day, The last of us 2 isn’t about revenge, it’s about Ellie’s grief, and how she deals with it. This game has challenged us to incorporate, understand and it has brought many important themes to the table. I can’t convince anyone that the game is good, because that’s my personal take on it, but I can assure anyone reading this that this isn’t a 4.8 game, and that it was very courageous of Naughty Dog to try something few games/tv shows/movies have tried before. I’ve seen many complaints about the game saying “bUt It’s A rEVeNgE sToRy, eLliE sHouLd haVe kiLled AbBy”, and I’ve got some things to tell those people: Abby did suffer, she lost all of her friends for what she did to Ellie and Joel, and I must say, being alive and having to deal with all of this is much harder than just getting killed. Second of all, if until the end of the game, after you’ve been on Abbys shoes, you still wanted her dead, then you might have won the game, but you didn’t win the mental debate Naughty Dog offered you. I’m not saying how anyone should feel about the game, I’m just saying what I believe were the intentions of Neil Druckmann (and company) while developing the game. I give The last of us 2 a 8/10, but since people are roasting the game and giving it 0 or 1 /10, I must go against that flow and give it a 10/10. It is a very divisive game, but it isn’t a bad one, and even if you didn’t like it, you must admit it isn’t a bad game.
    I congratulate Naughty Dog, not for making “a masterpiece”, but for their effort on trying once again bring something new to the table.

    Sincerely,
    A TLOU fan    … Expand

    I've now completed The Last of Us Part II twice and I am really impressed with the game. I also replayed the first game recently to make sure any comparisons I make are meaningful.

Without spoiling the game, Ellie's journey is full of difficult choices and weighty character    I've now completed The Last of Us Part II twice and I am really impressed with the game. I also replayed the first game recently to make sure any comparisons I make are meaningful.

    Story:
    Continuing from the end of the first game, Last of Us Part II focuses on Ellie as the key protagonist. Without spoiling the game, Ellie's journey is full of difficult choices and weighty character moments and I found myself gripped. There are additional characters introduced in this game. Standout is Abby, a new character who parallels with Joel's journey from the first game. There are sections where you play as Abby and I found her gameplay to be a refreshing change from sections playing as Ellie.
    Overall the focus of the story is a revenge mission made of two parts. Again I won't go into too much but the ending is satisfying and sets up for Part III whilst also being a definitive end to this part. I found the story to be more realistic than the first game. Characters question their actions more here, and murdering hordes of people is no longer just a 'by product' of a journey, but part of a clear story narrative. The writers have also been brave with the story choices. I was particularly impressed with the representation in this game. There are numerous characters introduced from BAME backgrounds and there are characters tackling issues linked to sex and gender identity. This doesn't feel shoe-horned, but rather a natural reflection of the world we live in, not the make belief all white world you see in most games.
    Focusing on multiple story lines, does at points make deviate a little from the overall narrative, but not so much that it hinders the story.

    Gameplay:
    The new elements added to Part II are great. Part stealth, part frantic action, most fighting sections left me running around looking for resources to stay alive. With the introduction of new enemy types, the game stays fresh whilst refining what was good in the first. I'm particularly impressed with the enemy AI which is more reactive than ever. Especially the dogs, which as a dog lover, I must say I hated them by the end of the game.
    Weapon mechanics are similar to the first game but better. On one end you can craft silencers for your pistol, on the other you can craft explosive arrows. I did two runs and in the first I was largely stealthy and made use of the ability to craft arrows and silencers. On the other I went in loud, making use of explosive ammo and bombs. Either way there are plenty of tools for the job.
    This game also ups the horror elements. Now the infected are scarier than ever and there are a few scenes which particularly shook me up. New infected types are introduced and they are a great additional challenge to the game.

    Sound:
    The music is as excellent as ever with the score from Gustavo Santaolalla bringing a great ambience to the game. I played the game with noise cancelling headphones and found the soundtrack immersive and powerful. There are moments where the soundtrack really builds as the character is grappling with tough emotional decisions, and of course, when you are running for your life.
    The sound effects are also better this time. Guns sound punchy and the infected sound scarier than ever.

    Overall:
    If you loved the first game, you will also love this game. The characters have grown in weight and complexity and the gameplay is fine tuned to perfection. It is the only game this console gen I have immediately replayed and I look forward to doing so again.    … Expand

The story wouldn’t be good. There’s so much emotion and brought me to tears several times. Ellie’s statements when killing and just little comments and her visible discomfort and ptsd is shown so well and even with Abby who at first playing as made me annoyed, was made so well that I ended up feeling bad for her and her story. The ending showed Ellie as human, and Joel’s death, though very sad, brought the game together, with Ellie and Joel’s visible desperation emotionally and ending on bad terms, you could see Ellie break down and loose herself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone hating on this game needs to play it through again, and this time they have to pay more attention to the story, not just Joel's death. Yes, Joel's death was sudden and brutal, but that's just a reflection of the game. They didn't just kill him and then he wasn't in the game anymore, there were flashbacks and the whole plot revolves around him. He is very much present throughout the game. Playing as Abby was kind of like a punch to the gut, for the first part of the game we'd been told to want her dead. But then we see that, really, she's not that bad and not that different from Ellie. That's another astounding part of this game, the way that it shows us time and time again how brutal Ellie is, and how we should technically want her dead too. But we'll never want Ellie dead because... we just wouldn't, and it's something the game does so well, building up our support and love for the protagonists (for example Joel, a very flawed character who we loved) The graphics, well, they were undeniably amazing, the scene where Abby is climbing over Seattle is phenomenal and something I've never seen in a video game before. Seattle itself looks incredible, the Infected are almost too realistic at times, it's all done so well. This game was gut-wrenchingly brutal, it makes you do things you'll hate, not only in the killing sense, but even when someone says "Let's cut through this building," it fills you with dread. More than once I crawled through a dark, abandoned building in silence, breath held for when the clicker would jump out at me, but then nothing happens and I felt stupid for being so apprehensive. Overall, this game was well worth the wait, it hits you in all the right ways and doesn't always heal the wounds it leaves, something I loved about it.… Expand

People are very upset that joel died and i get it we all love joel but saying that the game is **** because joel died in a **** up way is just stupid... I mean this is a post apocalypthic world people just die and thats all there is no heroic deaths in this universe. I loved the overall gameplay, the graphics are just the best in the world, the sou dtrack and music are incredible so for me this is the best game of 2020.… Expand

Things happened in the game that make Ellie go on her revenge tour and they need to happen. The gameplay although not greatly changed is brilliant. In terms of movement of character and character abilities, there isn’t much you can change as they are not super natural but Ellie moves faster than Joel and is more athletic which does to lead to come good movement momentum moments. Being able to dodge, go prone, again although small in the greater picture do so much to freshen up game play. I would have loved to have seen some type of gameplay involved with the rope physics. That could have used to make traps if you carried a rope around with you. You could place it on the group to trip NPC’s. You could place it between doors at neck height, attract the infected to run into it and trap them. It’s a one time use as once it’s triangled you’ll need to retrieve it kind of thing. The world they have created is beautifully horrific. Dilapidated buildings, overgrown friends it’s just stunning. The sound design is all time great. Rain splashes, gunshots, voice active it’s a masterclass on immersion.

    The only moment in the game where I actually felt disgusted is 3/4 of the way through the game when things come together, you are forced into a fight that NOBODY would ever want to be in. It’s does give you some insight into how your opponent actually fights but it’s just so hard.

    This game is a masterpiece in gameplay and eliciting emotion for the player.    … Expand

Tbh I think that everyone is mad about Joel's death, personally I think it's brilliant because while you start playing with ellie you just want to kill Abby but when you start playing like abby you realize that Abbys feelings towards Joel are not that different. And you find out that maybe if you were willing to kill someone who killed a dear one then they can think the same way. It's really a good game… Expand

    Gameplay was pretty good, not great by today’s standards, but good enough. The stealth was fantastic though it’s too easy unless on hard difficulty. Story was a roller coaster of emotional reactions...REAL emotions. When Ellie finds the guitar in the farm house and sings one of my favorite songs (I still get chills whenever I hear that song)...

    The ending (no spoilers) left a bad taste in my mouth, but I think that was the point. Final battles felt like I was being tortured with a golf club.... I was somewhat disappointed by the ending when it was over but in retrospect it was the only way it could have ended and still have been an effective story. This was one of the best and worst gaming experiences of my life.... I don’t think I will ever replay it but I don’t think I want to. This was a work of art, truly brilliant. If you left a negative review and didn’t finish or even play the game it’s very obvious to those of us who gave the game a fair shot and played it through.    … Expand

    "A Flawed Masterpiece"
    This is a very hard review to write - there are parts of the story I adored beyond words, and there are parts that I hated to the point of very nearly putting down my controller and walking away. And yet... I'm so very glad I never did.
    Without spoiling anything, it's safe to say that there were some pretty extreme narrative risks taken in this production. Even    "A Flawed Masterpiece"
    This is a very hard review to write - there are parts of the story I adored beyond words, and there are parts that I hated to the point of very nearly putting down my controller and walking away. And yet... I'm so very glad I never did.

    Without spoiling anything, it's safe to say that there were some pretty extreme narrative risks taken in this production. Even having reached the end, it left me not satisfied, not happy - but rather, sad, confused, empty. I spent days pouring over the experience, trying to untangle the mess of emotions I was feeling (yes, still, days later) - and over time grew to accept, then grudgingly admire, then downright cherish the experience I've just played (lived) through.

    It's not a 10/10. There are some frustrating bits even outside of narrative, and while I did enjoy the story overall, I can't help but think that something could've been done to pace it better. And good grief I would've killed for an actual choice towards the very end... But this is largely nitpicking.

    Final verdict: I don't regret a single dollar, nor a single hour, I've spent on this game. It made me feel like **** but only because it wanted me to - never unintentionally. It's certainly a game that will challenge you not so much as a player, but as a human - and I while I appreciate that, not everyone will. Yet in my eyes, the biggest testimony to its achievement is the hole it's left behind. What other game could possibly measure up at this point?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece of storytelling that subverts our cultural love for justified violence. There are many people who criticize this game for not giving a satisfying ending, but that isn't the point of the story. So many are calling for a "good guy vs bad guy" story instead, but our culture is already flooded with those. That kind of story is easy to do. Letting Joel live would have been easy to do. Letting Ellie kill Abby would have been easy to do. Go watch a superhero movie if you don't want to question your morals. Stories don't exist solely to make us feel good; if that were the case, Shakespeare wouldn't be a cultural icon for storytelling. If anything, this is the most realistic representation of conflict I've ever seen in a story. Nobody commits terrible acts without reason, and the more you come to know about someone the more you start to understand their justifications. As much as we push the "justice" narrative, "good" and "evil" are not in any way realistic, or distinct, groups. Seeing this fleshed out in a story hurts, and it's easy to blame "bad storytelling" when you're forced to confront your morals. Nobody wants to empathize with the person they hate, and that's the point. Ellie and Abby showed us the cycle of violence perpetuated by rage; one that couldn't be solved by killing, no matter how many bodies piled up. If the story ended with either one of them dead it would have been a cheap ending. An unrealistic ending. The ending feels underwhelming because it's not the "justice porn" that we're so used to consuming. Justice feeds into the cycle. This is a story about letting go of that cycle. Abby did it when she saw how Lev would come to hate her if she fed into it and Ellie did it when she realized how brutal she had become (which was not, as some may think, a disservice to the innocent lives she had already taken, but rather an acknowledgment of the fact that bodies would continue to pile lest she change). This cycle was also echoed in the greater story of Seattle, the killing of two WLF children igniting the endless war between the WLF and the Seraphites. The Last of Us Part II isn't meant to give you another wholesome story, that's what the first one was for. Its purpose is to undermine our sense of moral justice by showing us the destruction it begets.… Expand

    Best game of generation. A lot of people just can’t handle the fact that the history didn’t go as they expected, the circumstances of the game and the consequences are based in what would happen in real life. Life in a world post apocalyptic is sad and there’s death. Haters should get over themselves...

The ending is what sort of redeems the character arcs of all them and. You may not be satisfied, I wasn't but I was ok with the ending which sets up the third game.

    The idea the devs have of the story was good but the execution is where they mess up. Some gameplay descions and character descions made will surely upset players which is the only reason in my opinion that gives the game this controversy. The ending might also not make it home for some but if you try to understand by the end the decisions Ellie and other characters make and the point of the story it will definitely make the game better for you.

    For the nay-sayers that say the story isn't original, so what? Yes it has the arc of an epic tragedy, but just because you see your car is going to crash doesn't mean it won't hurt less. But the story doesn't focus just on revenge, but what comes after, juxtaposing Abby's redemption and trying to find a purpose in the face of grief and loss.

    To that that think the ending doesn't make sense/is anticlimatic, etc- rewatch the final scene with Joel, understanding the implications of his actions, and Ellie's response, and its implications for Ellie and Abby.    … Expand

    To rate this game lower than 5 is ridiculous. If game of thrones kill loved characters it’s fine but Lou2 gets slammed as bad story. The game was made to be thought provoking and it certainly did that for me. Anger leads to anger, hate breeds hate and as I’m currently playing my second playthrough I find myself wanting to get to the second portion of the game again. Knowing what I know now I want to enjoy Abbys story more. On my first playthrough I rushed, gave her less time and struggled to empathise her story due to the anger felt towards her. I don’t feel that anymore. The ending, wasn’t what I’d have wanted to see but still powerful enough and during the final fight every punch I swung gave me less and less enjoyment and satisfaction. Ellie struggling to play guitar which is in the end the best way to keep her connected to Joel’s spirit is tainted.    … Expand
