    Great game! I loved the storyline and gameplay. Violent, polemic, immersing and epic.

    Overall this is another fantastic game by naughty dog. I do agree that the second part is not nearly as good as the first, and some of the story elements feel very forced to fit a very obvious narrative.

    The writing isn't anywhere as good as the first game, and today's political environment is interjected into the game without much thought on how it could impact the tone of the game.

Unfortunately, I think we will be seeing more of this in the next generation of gaming. No one wants the author's politics obviously interjected into a game.

    However, all that's being said... I still enjoyed the game start to finish. It didn't have the same overall impact on me as the first, but that was always going to a hard feat to accomplish.    … Expand

    The story is phenomenal, the atmosphere is incredible and the characters are both sympathetic and well written. This isn't a story of Heroes and villains, but one of tragedy, grief and the struggles along the way.

    Its just a shame this game doesn't get the rating it deserves due to review bombing morons giving it 0/10... you simply can't take those kinds of reviews into account, theres vapourware with higher reviews than that!

    I'd give this a 10/10, but some points have to be deducted for doing dirty like that, plus reports of crunch and not launching with multiplayer. Otherwise excellent work naughty dog!    … Expand

    Games like that move the industry forward despite the hate and bigot resistance. The tone is darker, the scenes are well directed, combat is intense. It's not "fun" to play but it keeps your interest till the end.

    This game tried to create a miyazaki-like grey area on the morality of human nature and it largely succeeded. It was a VERY ambitious game and I think is a real success.

    I literally stopped playing for 2 days when you being playing as Abby. I HATED her. And yet, when you come back, the game really creates a genuine bond. You feel conflicted and pained. People want Ellie to be a hero.    This game tried to create a miyazaki-like grey area on the morality of human nature and it largely succeeded.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a tremendous achievement by Naughty Dog with the Last of Us Part II. Improving on the gameplay from Part I and amping up the cinematic elements has created one of the great swan songs of the generation.

    While not quite as good aa the first game, there are many elements to this game that eclipse the first game. Larger environments, more playstyle options, interesting lore, and the continued emphasis on environmental storytelling means players get their money's worth. The game would be a 7 or 8 alone based on those elements.

    The much maligned story isn't perfect, particularly with pacing. Naughty Dog would have been better suited re-arranging the days of Abby and Ellie to match up. Playing as Abby for the extended period of time was a nice touch, I just didn't like the placement in the game as much. We get to experience the life of someone who is really not so different from Ellie. In a different world, they may have even been friends. The interesting part of the story is that there truly isn't a "good guy" and "bad guy". Both characters are deeply flawed while also being very redeemable. Even up to the very end I was not sure who I wanted to live or die, and that's a testament to the writing and voice acting.

    One other minor issue that makes this game a 9 instead of a 10 is that the game is perhaps 5 to 6 hours too long. This game would have benefitted from a slightly shorter playthrough to make it a more toght experience, but it's nowhere near the level of egregious as a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 in which the entire island sequence could have been cut out and the story would have been unaffected. These minor critiques aside, I highly recommend playing through this game. Its engaging gameplay and story about how revenge and hatred can consume a person's life make for an enjoyable experience that should not be missed.    … Expand

    This story is not simply about revenge, in the same way the original game was not simply a story about finding a cure.

    The first game challenges you in its last moments to ask yourself who is good and who is bad, so does this game, and reinforces that in this dark, cruel world they live in, no life is treated as more special than another.

    This game is bold, beautiful, and presents conflicts like never experienced before. If you can only look at this game through a shallow lens, you will hate it, but if you allow yourself to become immersed, you will find yourself experiencing a journey you would have never expected to be taken on.

    I think in some areas, this game does fall short. At times, the story is forced into directions that the player wouldn't necessarily want.

I can tell how Neil Druckman was trying to subvert the audience's expectations and I commend him for that because him trying to do something different is so much better than him just providing us a cookie-cutter, bland narrative. I felt myself relating to certain characters introduced in Part 2 and I wish instead of continuing to introduce new characters, Naughty Dog would've instead focused on a select few characters that I actually cared about. The structure of the narrative could've been better, but I appreciate what Druckman and his team were trying to convey. After spending about a week after I completed the game to think about the narrative, I've been able to think about how Abby and Ellie are on two sides of the same coin. It is definitely better than people are giving it credit for. Do not believe the intense hate that most online reviewers are giving it.
    The gameplay in Part 2 is absolutely fantastic. The animation is seamless, the gunplay feels realistic and weighty, and the fighting is so brutal. Words do not give the game enough credit for the amount of work that went into this game. Just for the gameplay alone, I would recommend it wholeheartedly. To put it briefly, the game looks and feels perfect. The detailed environments are immersive and the character models are equally wonderful.
    I definitely recommend this game. It is worth every penny. It is not perfect, but it is human.    … Expand

Not really understanding all the complaining about this one, outside of the review bombing day one from people that didn't even play it. Graphically, it's beautiful. One of the best looking games I've ever seen. The attention to detail is second to none. It's a very immersive experience. The gameplay is nearly perfect. It's similar to the first one and improves on it in every area. The characters are well written, and their motives make sense. Ellie's decisions can be frustrating, but she's a teenage girl that just had the most important person in her world taken away from her. What do you expect? Same thing with Abby. If she was the main character from the beginning, nobody would blame her for hunting down and killing Joel. He murdered her father and people in her group, and stopped the only chance the world had for a cure. And as far as the ending goes, it would've been pretty disappointing if Ellie did end up killing Abby. Do people not understand what character development is? She finally lets it go and moves on with her life. I loved the way it all came together. Hopefully there's a part 3 where Ellie goes off to find Dina. It looked like that might be where she was headed in the final shot. But overall, it's a great game. Definitely worth playing.… Expand

    I don’t need to tell you what the last of us is, if you havnt played part one please go play it first, it’s a far superior game and only one of 3 games ive ever given a 10/10 to.. now that those people are gone… last of us part 2 picks up where we left off.. sortve. This is a bit of a fallout of joel and ellie.. again.. sortve.. its complicated… a game that hops all over timelines all the way back to the day joel decides his 2nd chance at being a father outweighed a potential cure for humanity… theres fighting theres pain, theres regret.. theres loves, theres forgiveness, theres hopelessness.. every emotion you could imagine, the last of us part 2 smacks you with.. however its just not an enjoyable game to play through…
    Here youll have a chance to play as joel, but barely.. youll mostly play as ellie and a new character abby… both on a revenge mission…and of course with ellie branching out and you playing as a new character, last of us part 2 introduces a whole new cast of chracters.. and theyre all awful. Every last one of them… this is the most unlikable cast of characters In recent memory.. and in a game all about story.. characters are important.. I even ended up disliking ellie one of my favorite characters in video game history by the end of this game.. heck even within the games first few hours of about 20… shes become such an annoying hipster.. and while this aspect of her fades the darker the game gets… other aspects of her come out that just ruined that character for me… but to the actual gameplay… the last of us part 2 is some of the most fun stealth in a game ive ever played.. this feels much more like an assassins creed game and less like a resident evil like the last game… even the infected are easier to deal with.. in fact this game in general is more accessable and overall just easier for better or for worse… and the world here is filled with the most detail ive ever seen in a game, leterally every square foot of this game is filled with unimaginable detail, and load times here are near instantaneous after dying… it blew my mind numerous times.. however I feel like the passion put into world building and detail crafting was all for none, as the last of us part 2 quickly becomes repetitive bore.. you constantly juggle climb through buildings, crawl through grass, climb through buildings, crawl through grass with the occasional surprise like a museum or aquarium, but it just becomes so painful to play at times because of how bloated the last of up part 2 feels… it took me 3 weeks to get through this game, just because id lose interest so fast while playing… thankfully the final few hours of this games we get some fresh variety, but a game like this that does nothing new has no business being beyond 15 hours.. it just doesn’t..
    stealth, collect, craft.. you know.. you played the first game.. it’s all the same here just more fine tuned, but with such unmemorable levels.. they all blur together with only a couple of stand out moments.. and I just expect more from a naughty dog game…
    Ultimately The Last of Us Part 2 is a great game,
    I do appreciate the attempt at a bold story telling approach with multiple characters, getting multiple story perspectives of the same story, and I appreciate the detail.
    but this game is great in the way that pizza is great, too much and you have a tummy ache.. This is the last of us part 2, its bloated and boring, and again the characters are just so unlikable it was really hard for me to get through..
    and nay good this series had, the games director niel druchman just spits on and throws in the trash…
    I don’t regret playing this game, but I am disappointed in the overall delivery of a potentially crazy story.

This story is going to leave you questioning who is the bad guy in this story. It's a story of cliche revenge, but takes a unique perspective on it. I finished the game feeling unsatisfied, yet content. The story does come to an end, but not how I wanted it, nor how I expected it. The game jumps 4 years since Joel saved Ellie in the hospital in Utah, and fills in that gap through out the game with flashbacks. Some of them are really endearing and enjoyable while others leave more to be wanted.

    The Gameplay hasn't changed pretty much at all from the first one. Not the most robust controls in this era of gaming, but the thing about Naughty Dog games isn't ever the Gameplay. It's the stories they tell. It's still a little clunky, but nothing difficult to work with. If you hated the gameplay and don't want more of that then I'd recommend passing on it, but I recommend it to experience the story alone.

    This is not a perfect game by any means, but the story will make you ask questions and leave you thinking. In that Naughty Dog executed wonderfully.

Undoubtedly, I would like to see some points differently, but Neil is therefore (at least for me) an exemplary screenwriter, because he does his work without looking at someone else's opinion, that is, reflects his vision.
    If you really want to see an extraordinary plot, feel free to buy.

Absolutely gut wrenching and painful to play through, but the story couldn’t be more honest. Violence begets violence, and only self-actualization can help to end it. Dark and beautiful, that’s my take.… Expand

    Não sou crítico nem nada, então vou ser bem direto na minha análise. The Last of Us Parte 2 é um dos melhores jogos que eu joguei nos últimos tempos, o nível de detalhes nas animações, expressões faciais, gráficos e na história é impressionante! Único jogo que se aproxima/iguala ao nível dele é Red Dead 2, capricharam demais aqui. A quantidade de detalhe as vezes beira a perfeição, as expressões faciais e animações merecem um destaque aqui, eu não acreditava quando via algumas coisas acontecendo. Sobre a história eu não vou comentar muito pra não dar spoilers, mas uma coisa que pra mim não faz sentido são essas críticas sem noção que estão fazendo, falando que o jogo é ruim por causa de um detalhe na história que não agradou, parece até piada. The Last of Us Parte 2 tem uma história super pesada envolvendo vingança, é muito mais pesada que o primeiro e passa longe de ser uma história ruim, na verdade ela é ótima e os personagens também são. A história dele não foi feita para agradar, foi feita pra ser boa e pra mexer com o jogador. Você vai sentir angustia, raiva, medo e mais um monte de emoções ao mesmo tempo, é inexplicável o que eles conseguiram fazer eu sentir enquanto jogava. Se você gosta de histórias felizes e fica irritadinho quando acontece "tragédias" em histórias, então passe longe desse jogo, porque como eu disse ele não foi feito para agradar e sim mexer com você.

    Analysis in English:
    I'm not critical or anything, so I'll be very straightforward in my analysis. The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the best games I've played in recent times, the level of detail in the animations, facial expressions, graphics and history is impressive! The only game that comes close to / equals his level is Red Dead 2, they’ve worked really well here. The amount of detail sometimes borders on perfection, facial expressions and animations deserve to be highlighted here, I didn't believe it when I saw some things happening. About the story I will not comment much to not give spoilers, but one thing that does not make sense to me is the clueless criticism they are making, saying that the game is bad because of a detail in the story that did not please, it seems joke. The Last of Us Part 2 has a super heavy story involving revenge, it is much heavier than the first and is far from being a bad story, in fact it is great and the characters are also. His story was not made to please, it was made to be good and to mess with the player. You will feel anguish, anger, fear and a lot of emotions at the same time, it is inexplicable what they managed to make me feel while playing. If you like happy stories and get irritated when "tragedies" happen in stories, then stay away from this game, because as I said it was not meant to please but to mess with you.    … Expand

Such a beautiful game with so many different areas/sceneries to visit along the way. The way it was written was amazing.. pacing the action with the story at different intervals and interweaving a beautifully tragic narrative. They didn't have any other choice than to go down this path. If they kept Joel & Ellie as protagonists going forward, the game would be like any other game... boring, repetitive and almost a carbon copy of the last 20 years worth of action gaming narrative. What naughty dog has done is create a wonderful epic that I thoroughly enjoyed. Both the gameplay and storytelling is to be commended. I'm in awe!… Expand

    Greetings and Salutations everyone! It's everyone's favorite doctor who can write prescriptions and plays what the kids call video games and today i'm going to review one of the best games I ever had a chance to get my grubby mitts on-The Last of Us 2!

    First off, I would not rate this game a 10, id probably give it a 9.6-9.7 so very close but not quite there. Anywho, I want to say this    Greetings and Salutations everyone! It's everyone's favorite doctor who can write prescriptions and plays what the kids call video games and today i'm going to review one of the best games I ever had a chance to get my grubby mitts on-The Last of Us 2!

    First off, I would not rate this game a 10, id probably give it a 9.6-9.7 so very close but not quite there. Anywho, I want to say this game starts off hot with a straight emotional gut punch that I definitely didn't expect. It gave me a dejected feeling like some of my all-time favorite TV shows and movies do. Was it something that I wanted to happen? Absolutely not, but by doing so I knew I was in for a hot-blooded, distinguished experience that has never struck such an emotional response during my 30 years of playing video games.

    The other thing that made TLOU2 such a transcendent experience was its set pieces and whoa nelly where these amazing! While Telltale's season 1 of Walking Dead may rival TLOU2 in pulling on your heart strings, the set pieces in this game has no such rival....and its not even close. There were times while playing where my kisser fell to my gullet and I just pondered to myself, "Gollie, I will never forget that, that was awesome as PETE!" If there is perfection in a game, these set pieces were it, especially for us survival horror fans. Now I played my whole first playthrough on survivor so my experience may have been a bit different than other humans but there were moments where I would be running for my life, barely surviving and getting through by the skin of my taint with a pinch of luck thrown in there. What's is even more impressive is there are 6-7 of these experience. Most games can't produce one experience half as heart pounding in a trilogy of games so the fact that TLOU2 was able to do it and keep doing it throughout the game is mind-bogging and sensational.

    Finally the last thing that made this game stand out above all other games was the fact that it could keep all the combat encounters unique. So many games eventually start to feel the same, after 5- 10-15 hours, even the really great ones, but TLOU2 always changed up elements to make the fights feel uncommon, I do wish they would have had more human vs human vs monster experiences. The few they had in the game were incredible because you never felt like you were safe plus you could turn monster(yes I know "monsters" have a real name that starts with a C but i'm to lazy to look it up) on your human enemies which was wildly satisfying!

    TLOU2 also is a beautiful game, it's well written and acted and extremely detailed. Its also a very polished game on day 1 in 2020 considering the size of the game, I think I only had 1 glitch where I got stuck under a deck of a building. Also its load times are a 10/10, very little wait times between deaths on PsPro-take notes Star Wars Fallen Order. The story isn't quite as good as the first game and the ending wasn't very satisfying but overall this is one of the greatest games I ever played in my life! I love it!

    Also I'd like to point out, this game seemed to receive over 150k zeros within the first 24 hours of the game being released and IMO those people rushed through the game and did not take in the gameplay or story and reflect on it so they could give it a subjective score. That is what had to happen because the only other thing that could have happened is all these people never even played the game and just gave it a 0 out of spite, fanboyism or bigotry and homophobia but i'm sure that is not the case because that would just be petty and insecure so I probably should not have even brought that up I apologize for even suggesting it. Bad Dr Lee!

    Anywho, i'd suggest buying this game in a hot second, its not perfect but its like no game I ever played, fun as the dickens and way ahead of its time, or simply put...an all time classic!    … Expand

    We see Ellie going after Abby with a clear intention to kill her and avenge Joel.
    Ellie is full of pain, guilt, anger, and a sense of terrible loss.

    She goes for a killing spree without any second thoughts.
    When she finally gets to face off with Abby she clearly is defeated but spared because of Lev’s intervention.

    Ellie then tries to forget the whole story and let it go by moving in with Dina and JJ, hoping they will fill the void inside.
    But she still suffers from panic attacks and keeps seeing Joel’s crushed face.

    When Ellie goes after Abby for the second time and finally gets to her she witnesses how tortured and exhausted Abby and Lev are.
    She tries to simply let them go, but sees Joel’s disfigured face again and decides to finish Abby off.

    While strangling Abby she sees a flashback of alive Joel with a guitar and it stops her.
    (She actually remembers that whole flashback we see at the end, where she says she will try to forgive Joel)

    Ellie then says, “Just take him”, referring to Lev.
    She realizes that Abby and Lev are like Joel and Ellie before and that the actual murder will not bring her peace, it will just leave another kid without a ‘parent figure’ and perpetuate the cycle of hate.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Doubtlessly the best game I wish never had been made.

    The first installment in this series is one of my favourite games of all time and I've long lost count of how many times I've replayed it. Thus I was enraged when I suddenly had Joel beaten to death on my screen. Hell, he was like a father to me. An on screen father, but still. Anyhow, at that point I couldn't keep playing. My hands were shaking and I couldn't think straight. All I knew was that I hated the game and Naughty Dog. That I probably should brake the game disk in two and send fungal spores to Naughty Dog. But in the end I realized that I hated someone else even more. Abby. The b*tch who broke my heart.

    So I decided that I might very well brake the game disk eventually and write a bad review. But not until I had my revenge on Abby and all of her loved ones.

    For a few hours my hatred burned too hot for me to enjoy much of the game. Dina felt like a nuisance and all dialogue and interactions not directly related to my search for revenge felt pointless.

    Then there came flashback. A memory of Ellie, Joel and some dinosaurs trying on hats. And that's when the grief truly hit me. A flood of tears dampened the fires of hatred and suddenly I could feel again. Not much, but enough to take in the world again.

    A few hours later Dina turned out to be pregnant, and suddenly I felt a tiny bit of something for her too. Not that I liked her, really. But that I wanted to keep her safe. Protected. Just as Joel had kept "me" safe for the previous game.

    Anyhow, from there on I really enjoyed the game. It made me realize how pointless hatred and revenge really is. Because in the end, you only give someone else reason to hate you as much as you hated that someone. And on it goes.

    To sum things up this game was an emotional roller coaster. Terrible, dark and painful in ways I've never experienced in a game before. Or in any other media, in fact. So, yes, this is a great game. Even though I would have been happier if it never had been made.    … Expand

    The original the last of us is one of my favourite games ever made. I am not one of those people who felt it did not need a sequel as the story of the first game had such a perfect ending. I have every faith in Naughty Dog that whatever game they make will be of the utmost quality as they have such an incredible track record. I was right not to be concerned, this game is incredible.

I have every faith in Naughty Dog that whatever game they make will be of the utmost quality as they have such an incredible track record. I was right not to be concerned, this game is incredible.

    I will not spoil anything here as the less you know the more you will enjoy it. What I will say is that the story is not afraid to take risks and is far better off for it.

    But of course this isn't just about the story, it is about the gameplay and everything else in between, it is all top notch. It runs very smoothly, combat encounters are tense and memorable. The kills are brutal and you will often hear screams of agony and enemies calling out names, which adds to the realism and immersion.

    It is also very violent, you can almost feel Ellies hatred when she kills people involved in a horrific incident early in the game, I love panning the camera around to Ellie when she is taking down an enemy from behind, you can clearly see the hatred etched on her face.

    Some people may disagree with the direction the story takes and some of the actions taken by the lead characters, but I personally feel very pleased with how the story panned out.

    Every single environment feels incredibly detailed, I was desperate to explore everything I possibly could, there are plenty of secrets to be found as well as quite a few Easter eggs. This game demands exploration and I genuinely felt saddened when I realise there was something that I missed.

    I cannot recommend this game enough, you may have heard people complaining a lot about the story and yes it is divisive, but I think it is much better because of it.

    I finished it 2 weeks ago and have not been able to stop thinking about it since.

    Story: Honestly, it's not as bad as the other reviews say it is. It's likely due to the halo effect that most don't connect with the characters or their motives.

It's likely due to the halo effect that most don't connect with the characters or their motives. The writers try a little too hard to force an agenda, yet there is an ugly side to humanity as well that we try to avoid and instinctively abhor. If we accept that what's shown in the game is possible of any of us, then the plot is easier to stomach.

    The storytelling itself is acceptable. The writers do manage to help you bond with the characters. At the end I found myself sympathizing with both the protagonist Ellie and antagonist Abby, as well as their companions. If the game had a little more light, most would give it an 8. But the plot is dark. Really dark. The characters do redeem themselves at the end, but that is too little, too late.

    Gameplay: Same as always. Not much difference compared to the first game. Combat is a little more fluid and exploration a little quicker, but basically the same. And by that I mean entertaining. It becomes repetitive, but the game isn't long enough to get you sick of it.

    Graphics: Much improved over the first game. Textures, detail, design, are all a step above the originals. But that is to be expected. The previous game was a made for the PS3. Wouldn't say that it's amazing though. But there are some portions deserving of praise, such as the character facial expressions and how natural the character's movements are.

    Voiceacting: Perfect, 10 out of 10. The plot might not be perfect, but the characters told the plot as best they could.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I finished The Last of Us Part II this morning and was left with emotions. I felt really sad for Ellie, ended up all alone, like Joel once was... I kinda agree with the ending, Ellie sparing Abby's life because Naughty Dog was going for an ending which didn't feature a useless nature of cyclic revenge and also if you think about it, Abby got what she deserved. Death wouldn't have been worth it for her. She learnt her lesson the hard way. Well I know we all would've loved it if she had killed Abby ofc lol but having this ending doesn't feel bad either. Ellie has always been a kind and strong character and they showed it. Like they say, "The best revenge is forgiveness" since that is a much harder thing to do. This sequel shows the reality of life, how the world has changed into this chaotic crap.. so a gesture of kindness can change certain things.
    I always loved the message Naughty Dog portray with their games, like with Uncharted series and now this. Both Nathan and Ellie WANTED something but at the end, they got what they NEEDED. Inner Peace.
    I was so happy to see the last scene of Joel and Ellie on the balcony, I kept thinking, Joel never got to talk to Ellie and she was being a **** to him but it all went away with that.
    Moving on, the gameplay was so top notch, I never had this much fun playing a videogame. Naughty Dog has really hit it off with this game. Even the graphics. I recently got my platinum for Uncharted 4 and noticed so many little details that I missed on my first playthrough, it was such an amazing game and now with The Last of Us II--they have set up the bar even higher!     … Expand

    I truly loved this game. The stealth combat and set pieces are intense. The game is a technical marvel in terms of performance and animations. I was very onboard for where the narrative went. Very powerful, and it’s great to have a game present complicated motivations and morally ambiguous characters.

    Well, here it goes. Giving this game a 10 to offset the butt hurt fanboys. Game is closer to a 9. I personally like the story a lot. This game took risks and it is better for it. If you all want the same game from sequel to sequel, play Call of Duty. If you want art, play The Last of Us II.

People review bombing no way beat the game real people like us are just now beating the game now and it took a solid 2-3 day and nights straight to do so, I feel like my heart's strings have never been pulled harder and people jumping at spoilers to make judgements have no clue. This game gave me heavy resident evil vibes in the best way that the first never truly pulled off. The boss fight with Abby was straight out of RE:Nemesis and maybe Im the outlier here in that by my time was over with Abby I DID empathize with her SO strongly and honestly at the final fight let her kill Ellie just to see if there was a cannon ending for that. I really was not expecting to like Abby and from the first day in Seattle with her it felt like a slog but something about her, maybe the voice acting, maybe the ultra hard shielding around her heart that she had so strongly that made her so Hateable for many, but Relatable to me. We all love Ellie because we saw her grow up, and I know it was intentional writing, but Ellie pissed me off more than once and it's because I was really close to a few girls who acted just like that. Abby showed multiple times a certain restraint and maturity that Ellie couldn't understand untill she literally lost the ability to play her favorite tune. It was tragic. I truly was surprised myself that by the end I wanted them both to win, though I knew they had already both losses, so, so long ago. It was a masterpiece. And many people may never know it, they will judge this game off many other things, and the gameplay itself is superb in stealth and A.I.

    Once again I wonder or possibly doubt it's even possible for them to continue this story again, especially with Ellie. But I have absolute faith and excitement for anything that may come. At the deepest expense of my emotional reserves. The HBO show that supposedly is happening could potentially turn this into something even greater. But as it stands, this is another turning point in video game narrative, and the the risks may have been obvious, (especially living in a post Game of Thrones world) I think we can all agree that the execution was nearly flawless and The Last of Us 2 has stuck it's landing.    … Expand

And very emotional to see a character trying to move on with PTSD! Any review that was posted in 19 and 20th June had no way of completing a 30+ hour so should be ignored play the game it is a master piece!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been searching for people who suggest other storylines after claiming that it was « bad writing ». Every single one I read worked. And it was a satisfying story. A comforting one.
    Writers didn’t choose that path and that’s precisely what makes that game a **** masterpiece.

    Pretty much everyone acknowledged the quality of the level design, animations, visceral gameplay, sound design, music, lights, particles, physics, good timing for hints, believability of characters gear, storytelling through environment, and incredible attention to details in general.

    So what seemed to polarize people is that they feel forced to root for, or at least forgive Abby. One of the main angle of the series is that there is no hero. They pushed that idea further.
    They didn’t just try to humanize Abby, they showed you behind the scene of factions and around what values and codes the organize and survive.
    They constantly question you about the worth of revenge, but also personal vs collective motivation. And since every time you’d root for Ellie to bash the skull of anyone who hurts her, the game reminds you that you are no better than any of the characters. The story doesn’t try to satisfy you, the gameplay does. The story plays with your ethics and empath by constantly shifting the point of view.

    To address another thing I've seen many ranting about is that at no point they force any sjw stuff down your throat. They live in a world where people have to survive extreme threats everyday so a girl might look like a slender teen boy or be jacked like a mma fighter who don’t give a **** about conservative/progressive view on norms and canons. The focus is on the characters motivations and not what they identify with.

    Final point about the writing, every character has a unique presonality, gimmicks, an accent, all this incredibely well conveyed by the actors. If acting is reacting, this is to me the best example to date in a game.

    So I genuinely don't understand the hate. This is good writing.

    This games punches to your guts just after stabbing you in the same spot, and nails every detail of it.
    So again, it’s a **** masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything aside from the beginning of Abby Day 1 was sooo well done.
    Laura Bailey and Ashley Johnson give the performances of their lives. Everytime Troy Baker's Joel appears is an incredible moment of delight and this story teaches you to dwell with how far one goes and what terrible things one commits in the pursuit of injustice to those which are close to you. I am so incredibly happy that this game was able to handle this discussion expertly and maturely. By the end of the game, I ended up sobbing. Not because I wanted Ellie to kill Abby, or vice versa but because I had seen these characters experience so much suffering that you just wanted them to stop. 'When you're lost for the darkness, look for the light'. I am forever grateful that Ellie found the light at the very end, even if it cost her, her largest fear. Ending up alone. The production is insane, the sound design is insane, the music is beyond me. This is the best step that video games have taken to prove that this medium is the best out there, and we can tell stories which deeply impact us. If by the end, you think that Joel's death wasn't done right or that he deserved a better death, then I am sorry to say that you haven't really understood or Naughty Dog failed to communicate to you how unjust death, life and this world is. No one is ever ready for the death of a loved one. It's never right, and it always hurts. When you lose someone, you can surely lose yourself. Everything is so good. (Some of the pacing, while I could understand, didn't rub me the right way. Abby Day 1 intro in particular. I think that they could've had the truck ride lead them over to the camp to meet Isaac instead of taking the whole long detour since the player isn't going to be paying too much attention because of the shock value of realizing you're playing as Abby for 3 days)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never expected storytelling to be so good in a game even after they killed off one of the most loved characters in such a brutal fashion and made you play as the killer only for the player to empathise and like the killer. Naughty dog has done such an amazing feat utilising every inch of power in the playstation to make a perfect ending to this console cycle. story aside, you can tell Naughty Dog poured their heart into every aspect of this game. The animations and attention to detail are on another level down from the individual actions when upgrading guns down to the blood realistically pouring from a wound after an intensely grim fight - the gore and violence are on a level of their own. Combat arguably outshines the narrative as the AI and additional features make such a brilliant difference that no fight is ever the same. The atmosphere is expertly done due to the soundtrack reflecting each scene perfectly as well as the voice acting from each character, Naughty Dog did intend to make the violence more real and make the player think about their actions and I believe they have done so very well, not only from story moments but, even just stealth killing supposed "bullet fodders" you can see the desperation both in Ellie and the enemies in their expressions again, it's these little details that flesh out every enemy that add to the game so well.
    Back to the story, so while I was intitially seething that they killed off Joel so quickly and the fact that we play as Abby through the second half of the game, I grew from absolutely hating her and her crew to growing fond of them and actually liking her. Lev and Yara i guess, added a little to the story but, in my opinion it felt like a rehash of Joel and Ellie but even so, Naughty Dog conveyed their relationship quite well in a way that didn't rip off from J&E. I love the way the story tied up in the end and going back to my point where I reversed my opinion on Abby; it was to the point where I believed Ellie was the villain and that is why this game gets a 10 from me. Not only from the amazing graphic, animation, sound, gore etc but the fact that Naughty Dog reversed my opinion on a character that did the most heinous thing that could be done to a fan of the series through their storytelling. It's a game that has to be played and not judged solely on leaks and what others have said.

    Although, if I'm being finicky and to make sure others do not see this as biased, the stuff that I didn't like or wasn't a fan of was the framerate drops which occurred a couple of times thankfully it did not take away from the experience, pacing was a bit over the place.    … Expand
