    Right off the bat, some of the issues are in the pacing and the way Naughty Dog sets up the game. There's a reason the pacing is done the way it is, but there are drawbacks to it. Similarly on the gameplay, we're all used to the stealth/survival gameplay loop and the game does it well, but it actually plays even better as an action game. If you play on NG+, make your loot settings easy and go to town. It's a fantastic action game, and most players will never experience it that way because of the default setup Naughty Dog encourages through tutorials and difficulty settings. So those are flaws.

    Technically, it's probably the best game ever produced. Graphics, sound and accessibility are at the top of its class. This is why you should immediately disregard anyone calling it a 0/10, and probably even stuff like a 2/10. It's a masterpiece in those areas, and the gameplay is actually pretty fantastic.

    Where there's a lot of dispute is the story, but what I'm really seeing a lot of is people being unwilling or unable to read below a single level deep. A lot of idiots are repeating "rEvEngE iS bAd" as a criticism of the game, but it's really not a story about revenge. If you read The Great Gatsby in high school and understood that is more than a melodrama about rich people, you should be able to figure it out. Forgiveness is the critical component of the game, and for Ellie it's largely about forgiving herself and those closest to her.

    At its heart, the story is about the grieving process. Every single flashback cut scene reinforces the idea I'm talking about. Pay attention to, and think about why ND chose those scenes and what the purpose was. The rest of the game's story will come to you.

    And you may have heard a lot about how depressing the game is, and it probably will leave you sad or melancholy. But all is not lost in the end, and the people who say that are missing what's going on. Ellie has to live with herself, first and foremost, and she had difficulty doing that even before the events of this game. By the time you get to the false ending, she's incapable of doing that so the idea of ending the game there would basically doom Ellie as a character. She goes on the final leg of her journey which I think was a bit too long (there's definitely some fat that could've been cut out), and learns to live with herself in the end. Materially, she may be broke. But spiritually, she's more complete than she has ever been before.

    That should be a hopeful message to everyone, even as you go through **** times.

    Some people argue that the game failed to make them empathize with one of the characters and that's a fine complaint. I disagree, but I get particular enjoyment about of books and movies that ask me to stretch my level of empathy. Others don't, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But I have to imagine, even those people aren't the ones rating it a 0/10 or probably even below a 5.

    The people giving those types of sub-5 reviews are entitled children. They're able to regurgitate a list of 15 different nitpicks and there's no use in trying to dispute them because they're not interested in a discussion on the game. The first game has all of the same issues (for example, the plot armor is even more extreme in the first game) but they don't even entertain those ideas because they're not receptive to new ideas. These people are better off left alone, until they make it out of their arrested development.

    As I mentioned, there are perfectly fair reasons to not think the game is a 9/10 like I did. But the range of sincere reviews should be something like 6-10. The people posting 5 and below are insincere.    … Expand

My point is that this game will make you cry, all the deaths have meaning no one is safe from loss and sometimes vengance is not the answer. Losing someone you love is heartbreaking, and ellie going on this journey to get revenge for joles death is understandable but by the end you the player realise its wrong.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seems like there is a lot of hate out there which probably stems from gamers having to play strong complex woman, as opposed to 'good old Joel' . That and the story is darker and less forgiving for characters' past actions. People need to get over their attachments to previous characters, especially given the post apocalyptic context. I for one thought it was a fantastic game. Beautiful visuals, enthralling gameplay and compelling story. The plot admittedly does get slightly frustrating in parts, but overall its both emotionally challenging and beautiful. The characters are way more complex and developed than we usually see in these types of game. Hats off to Naughty Dog for pulling this off. Ignore the hate.… Expand

Gore is gruesome, the violence is grim yet satisfying. The story is incredible engrossing, and challenging. The negative review scores reflect the general gaming populace's unwillingness to turn their brains on when engaging with stories. These people cry from the top of their lungs that video games are art, and then step all over and scream at a true masterpiece when it stares them in the face.

    Not a full 10 out of 10 because...well, I can't really put into words wise. This game is truly amazing, and a must buy, but few games are perfect. For example, this game lacks multiplayer unlike it's predecessor. Also, the pacing suffers slightly towards the beginning of the halfway point of the game. The story telling is disjointed, and while it works incredibly well on the first playthrough, I'm not looking forward to playing it through a second time. A chronological mission setting would be a brilliant addition for a second playthrough.

    The Last of Us Part II is a triumph, and will be remembered for years to come as being one of the most exciting and controversial games of a console generation. The Last of Us Part II ushered in the era of serious narrative based story telling at the end of the PS3 era, and it's not lost its touch in the slightest. Right at the very end of the PS4 it swoops in and reminds all the wannabe's who is boss. Buy it, play it, love it, let yourself cry and feel and empathise with those you hate. It'll be worth it, I promise.    … Expand

    At the risk of falling prey to recency bias, this might be the best game I've ever played. It is certainly unlike any game I can recall, even its predecessor. I don't know if it makes any sense, but I was so spellbound at times I felt like I was playing in VR even though I wasn't. The story is incredibly compelling (and yet so painful), the attention to detail is staggering, the characters voiced so wonderfully well that every story beat lands like a ton of bricks.
    I run out of superlatives. The environments are difficult to believe for current gen, and the sense of immersion in this ruined world with its deeply damaged characters is almost overpowering. My only real critique of this game is that it verges at times on overkill, by which I mean there is sometimes too much of everything, and the game shouts at times where it have whispered. Having said that, this feeling is possibly a result in part of my playing on survivor, so YMMV.
    On a more general note, I am very grateful to everyone involved in this game for the bravery they showed in the writing of this story. There are no compromises here, no laziness or fan-service. The result is extraordinarily painful at multiple points yes, but it is also that rarest of things, a narrative that is as moving as any film or novel I've ever experienced, asking probing and often unwelcome questions about the way we judge others and are deeply invested in our own righteousness. I hope, in time, to see part 3 in some form. Thank you, TLOU!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first playthrough of TLOU2, I would have given this game a 6/10, but just finishing my second playthrough I give the rating above, an 8/10.

    First of all, the graphics, acting, and gameplay is an amazing part of this game. Some points I just stared at the beauty of the graphics that this game offers. It makes it feel so real and jaw-dropping. I hope they remaster this game for the PS5.

    Naughty Dogs displays very strong actions to kill off Joel in the first 2 hours. As a lover of the first game, I was in shock to see the protagonist die like that, but I realized Joel's actions in the first game, had consequences. The next about 10ish hours, we play as Ellie going through Seattle to revenge Joel's death, and when it reaches its climax, we replay the days in Seattle but through Abby, who killed Joel to revenge her father's death by Joel. Mad that we have to play as her, I continued, to see where Naughty Dog is trying to do with this approach. Throughout playing as Abby, they didn't develop the story surrounding Abby and her friends, the WLF, the Scars, etc. The pacing could have been better and maybe that could be a DLC in the future. In the end, Ellie doesn't kill her, spares her life, even though Ellie travels hundreds of miles from Jackson to Santa Barbara which confuses me so much. But in the end, explains a very powerful message that only my second playthrough made me realize.

    Ellie finally tries to move on from this whole revenge thing and takes in what it caused when she wanted her revenge. Dina and JJ are gone somewhere, Jesse died, relationship with Tommy, her mental state and more. Everyone wanted a good ending for Ellie, but to take in all the stuff we have done in the TLOU2, killing hundreds of people, will not bring Joel back. So at least Ellie is ready to move on and leaving everyone behind in the past (Why she left Joel's guitar).

    In the end, this is not a terrible game, but not a 10/10 game. Definitely could have been a masterpiece game but has shown a good message. I hope Naughty Dog creates a part 3 in the future, I can't see an end to this series yet, Ellie's story must continue!    … Expand

    The production quality is by far the highest of any video game that's been released so far. Anyone denying this is delusional, frankly. I thought the story was fantastic and well done, but I can certainly understand that others didn't feel that way. But the people giving this 0/10 are childish idiots.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its clear that many of these reviews are false. You cant rate a game on day 1 without having played it, which is silly.

    My take on The Last of Us Part 2. The game is brutal and unforgiving which shows how revenge can destroy both parties. The characters are all broken by their experiences which makes the games softer moments all the better. You find yourself looking at it from a skewed perspective for a time only to have the carpet firmly pulled out from under you, taking you out your comfort zone. The characters are well envisioned and written great. You understand their motivatilns whether or not you agree with them. Their justifications for horrific actions is purely to satisfy the guilt they feel. However, the realisation that they are slowly turning into monsters sets in and perhaps this can be seen as a redemption. I am reminded of Game of Thrones to a degree. Jame Lannister was reviled for his actions. Yet, in the later story, he realises the he had been manipulated by Cersei and wished to make amends of sorts. When I began playing as Abby, this is what came to mind. I felt thatI realised that, regardless of her actions, we hd no understanding of her motivations. Ellie cannot see past the death of Joel and neither Abby nor the rest of her crew explain why they sought revenge. And for that, Ellie is driven to chase them down and kill them for their transgression. I applaud Naughty Dog for taking risks and making something that is not another paint by numbers sequel you see so often today.

    The acting is great I don't think one person in the whole game felt lifeless. Even the nameless soldiers who seem to be everywhere have personalities which make them more than just cannon fodder. The relationships that each character has feels real and this is only improved by the amazing performances. Ellie and Dina's budding relationship is turbulent and not without grief. But what relationship in the apocalypse is going to be perfect? I love that Ashely Johnson and Sgabnon Woodward seemed so natural that it was realistic and not forced in any way. Is the story original? No its not. Revenge tales are 10 a penny. But, the originality notwithstanding, the story has been told well and didnt leave anything to the imagination.

    However, i am not without some gripes. I feel that the story rushed a little at the start. I wasn't really able to enjoy some time with adult Ellie before everything went to hell. Similarly I feel that this is the story best left to the third game in the series, but I cannot fault Naughty Dog for going the direction they did. Gameplaywise, there is little difference. While this is not necessarily bad I felt that perhaps changing up the gameplay a bit more would have been a good idea. There is little innovation to speak of here. All in all The Last of Us Part 2 is a brutal and emotional journey that explores the nature of revenge and its effects on those around you. With only a small amount of gripes I feel that this is a great way for Naughty Dog to close off this generation.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first half of the game (where you play for Elli) is very good. But the second half (Abby) is so-so. You play as a character who killed the protagonist of the first part. You just hate yourself. And it takes a living to play. It was necessary to fix up so that we played for Abby only at the beginning of the game. Just to show who she is and what she wants. I know that in the second half of the game they wanted to show Abby as a character, so that we penetrate her by the end of the game, but Naughty Dog did not succeed. Everyone criticizes the fact that Joel did not die “heroically”. So this is the meaning of the game, to show that in this cruel world not everyone dies heroically and that not everything always goes according to plan.… Expand

Realmente este juego lo odiaras unicamente si al terminarlo sigues odiando a abby y no estuviste de acuerdo con la muerte de joel. Pero yo como dije antes si estoy de acuerdo con la muerte de joel, esta entre nos muestra la evolucion de ellie y de lo que conlleva la venganza.

    I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm a big fan of the original and that I don't agree with almost all of the backlash this game has gotten.

    GAMEPLAY: If you enjoyed the gameplay of the original you will definitely enjoy it in this game. Combat feels visceral and tense. Weapon variety is excellent and there are many ways to handle combat situations without feeling like too    I'm going to preface this with the fact that I'm a big fan of the original and that I don't agree with almost all of the backlash this game has gotten.

    GAMEPLAY: If you enjoyed the gameplay of the original you will definitely enjoy it in this game. Combat feels visceral and tense. Weapon variety is excellent and there are many ways to handle combat situations without feeling like too many. The stealth mechanics work well and don't feel as tedious as in some other games. Being found out by an enemy isn't the end of the world and if you are quick and clever you can go back to hiding. (NOTE* I played on normal difficulty and found that in some cases I had more crafting supplies then I needed. If you are experienced with this style of game and are looking for a challenge you may want to bump up the difficulty level)

    ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was incredibly well done. Individual chapters each feel unique and have their own style to them. Everything from visual cues and sound really help to immerse you in this treacherous world you are exploring. Trying to sneak up on a clicker in a dark room is just as tense and controller gripping as it was in the first game.(also I know graphics aren't everything but man is this game stunning to look at.

    ENEMIES: Enemies are well done both infected and human. There is enough variety in the infected that they are interesting and difficult to encounter. The human enemies also feel a lot more genuine and seem to have more human-like reactions then I have seen in any third-person-shooter.

    COLLECTIBLES: I don't normally enjoy collectibles in games but I actual found myself actively hunting them out here and getting a rush each time I found one. At least for the first half, I didn't have the same excitement for the second half of the game.

    STORY: As I said I am a big fan of the first game and I think that the story felt like a natural and well done continuation of character arcs and themes from the first game. When new characters were introduced I found myself hesitating a bit to warm up to them due to certain story moments but as I spent more time with them and they revealed more about themselves I began to see them as more well rounded and those character arcs were something I really admired by the end of the game.

    I found the themes of the perpetual cycle of violence and how the "othering" of our fellow man not only dehumanizes them but also dehumanizes us to be really clear and powerful throughout the game.

    CRITIQUES: While I largely enjoyed most of this game I do have some criticisms. It feels like sometimes the "gut punch" moments of the story are stacked a little too much to the point where they begin to lose some of their impact and you begin to numb to the pain of the characters. This is especially true with the amount of physical punishment that gets dished out.

    A moment at the end of the game felt a bit awkward and while I don't wish they had changed the ending I wish they would have changed how the ending came about to make it fit more with the established character arcs and themes.

    This is more subjective but as I noted I never really felt like I was low on equipment past the early game which I think would have helped with tension of the game if resources had been harder to find.

    Also a gameplay transition in the middle of the game felt a bit jarring and perhaps could have been handled a bit differently.

    Overall I really enjoyed my experience with TLoU2 and it was a game I would think about afterwards and a gameplay loop I was excited to jump back into when I wasn't playing. If you were a fan of the original and are open to the idea of it's gamplay and themes being carried by new characters I would definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    Game shows the chain of revenge. when ı played abby for the first time, game was certainly finish by my side and I was begging to end the game but after that ı realised the game actually showed me both sides of the blade no matter how much I take ellie's side and hate abby, the game realize us what situations they are in and how environment effect them. You can see how these two warrior women fight to death for justified reasons.

    Graphics

    Top point of ps4 definitely amazing.

    Hit feeling

    AMAZING!

    Environment

    No matter how open world it looks, this is not the case except for a few sections. but the section designs are very successful and there are so many places to discover that you get the feel of the open world.

    Musics and sounds

    no need to speak.

    Joel

    If we talk about the death of joel, no matter how shocked and upset I would be, there would be no real vengeance story for anyone other than joel, and I think the plauer could not create that exact feeling of revenge.

    Final Idea

    it is not liked by most people but I think it is a nice and worthy game in general, There is a problem about some characters rub in and game fiction way controversial, but this does not mean that this game is bad, I can say that it is the most succesfull and high quality game that came out in 2020 right now.

    The game is great. Minus the Abby gameplay/storyline. I just could not get into the play as abby part. What was the purpose? To get some kind of connection to her so you can maybe have sympathy for her when she goes after Ellie? That whole part of the game was just a please lets get back to ellie portion. Went on way to long. It almost caused me to lose interest in it.

    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.
