    Absolute 10/10 Nothing comes even next to it when it comes to attention in detail,mechanics,stunner animations and cut scenes,gameplay and level design, the game feels just too "alive" and "breathing" in every step you take. An absolute pleasure to play.
    The hate to it because of some people not liking where the story went is just unfair...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, my real score is 8.5/10. Why I set it to 10? Later about that.
    I'll start from storyline, because it is storyline, what provoked maximal resonance.
    This game neither about gays nor about trans-genders, neither about strong women nor about feminism. This game about hatred and forgiveness, about problems in mutual understanding and just about life. In real life absolutely not all people are beautiful inside and outside, not all people are heterosexual and every character, so loved by fans, can be killed at any moment. This game asks so many questions, and show us, how monochrome our life vision can be, how hard for us can be put ourselves in place of another people. If you ask me, this game masterfully playing with our feelings and worldview, rotating story way by 180 degrees when it needed.
    Tightness of the story can be disputable moment, but I'm not sure that without it, we could feel what we have felt.
    About other parts of the game.
    Pros:
    Graphics is great, especially if keep in mind fact, that PS4 platform has been released 7 years ago. Gameplay and enemy AI are improved in comparsion with first part.
    Sound is not so cool as in Hellblade, but still no complains. Music is great, but worse than in 1st part.

    Cons:
    Sometimes is highly noticeable, that NPCs with same models staying on distance of few meters from each other, that spoils impression about the game.
    Allies AI still can be boring a bit. Especially for Dina.
    Music is good, but worse than in 1st part in my opinion.
    Hard level (not maximal) is too easy. I always had full inventory and died just 20-30 times during all playtime.

    As I already said, my score is 8.5/10. So why 10? Just because lot of people gave 0/10 even if noted good visual, music, gameplay etc. Even if you totally disliked the game because of Joel death, lesbian Ellie, heavy-proteined Abby or something, it doesn't deserve 0/10 at all, because, as you said, it has good graphics and interesting gameplay. So my 10 is just for balance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great story with deep characters and moral conflicts.

    The first half I was definitely on Joel's and Elly's side, but this all changes after discovering the past of Abby and her family and friends. "There are two sides of a coin" never felt so apt.

    The only thing I don't enjoy was, that the game often felt long, it took too much time for the essential story.

The world is stunning, the gameplay sharp and varied. Why not 10? The first game was near perfect in level design - you never lost sight of the objective even if there was room to move - An early section in part 2 lost its way a bit - too much space that resulted in one character constantly reminding us of where we had to get back to. It’s a minor fault but for me it slowed the game down just when it was gaining speed. A couple of inexplicable decisions by characters marred the story but not enough to derail it. I enjoyed the game. Expand

Empathy is a big factor , personally I didn't find it hard to empathize with the characters, after all they are humans and have human actions and emotions. There is no evil character, there's just flawed humans trying to handle the grief that leads their misguided actions into the ultimate revelation that an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

    Only real flaw with this game is the pacing is sometimes a little slow. Aside from that, this is one of the best games released this generation and will certainly be remembered as such.

    Naughty Dog didn't play it safe with this game and well done to them. It has a bold story and is a technical masterpiece.

    My thoughts in a nutshell; I loved the game. It’s a very different story than the first game. It’s a way more sad, tragic, heart-wrenching game. It’s brutal, yes, but TLOU2 makes it a point to put your mental and emotional state in the blender for a reason. It was one of the most thought-provoking games I’ve played in a while. This game uses the player’s emotions against us perfectly and brings all of humanity’s ugliest flaws to the surface and rubs in our faces. When I finished this game, I actually took a pause to reflect and just thought about how grateful I am to have what I do in my life. To let go of any anger, stress, grudges that I have. It’s hard to explain without giving away story spoilers. For me, the game is essentially a ‘not-so-gentle’ reminder, that in our dark, cruel world, (not entirely post-apocalyptic yet), we should find our bits and pieces of love, joy and hold on tight……. Hold. on. tight.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was advertised as a game centred around Ellie's revenge, although I agree with this I also believe it is a story about forgiveness. You can see how Ellie struggles to forgive characters early on in the story with the way she struggles to forgive Seth who she calls a "bigot" instead of accepting his peace offering. This tells us a lot about Ellie's character early on. Ellie does not only struggle to forgive others she also struggles to forgive herself, she feels guilty for not forgiving Joel. By Ellie not killing Abby it is Ellie forgiving Joel. If you don't forgive Abby at the end of the story and are upset that Ellie didn't kill Abby you are the Ellie that embarked on the journey to murder everyone in her path the Ellie which is unwilling to forgive. This game shows that life is a cruel but efficient tutor. Both the characters experience trauma related to their father figures death. Ellie with her flashbacks to the basement and Joel's face and Abby with her flashbacks to the firefly hospital. I loved the deeper meanings in this game. Expand

    however, there are some things that do bug me, like when you change character and you start playing as abby, you go on missions who are not really central to the plot. like you barely see the carnage that ellie is leaving behind her, and that was a real bummer. and the fact that this game has 2 endings, like, it ends, and then it ends again, the second one was a little forced, a little weird, but it is still damn good, give it a try, ****

There were moments I remember clearly where I was struggling to stay alive in the game, and yelling on my couch because it got so intense. It's the same feeling from Resident Evil 4 where fear comes from scary enemies and overwhelming odds. Survival, especially in the stealth sections, require a lot of creativity. It's very rewarding when games require you to think and make it clear that there are a lot of options. I played on moderate, and found it pretty difficult. There was incentive to avoid being seen and remain in stealth, because enemies easily overwhelmed you and drained your supplies otherwise. I never got bored even with this long campaign, which is impressive.

    Alright, the story. It bugged me, but I think that was the point. Part 2 continued Part 1's theme of characters doing what the characters would do. In other words, the events are realistic when you consider the game world and the character's experiences. The writers did not try to make a story that would make fans happy. While it's admirable, it causes inevitable discomfort. That's why I can't give this game a 10. But I don't think the story ruined the game.

    A few other notes. The start of the quest is a little slow. This game is very large and provides a lot of opportunity for searching for additional lot and even upgrades. Sometimes it rewards, sometimes it punishes. Again, that's realistic. It also can be really boring at times however.
    Graphics are beautiful and motion capture and faces are crazy realistic.

This is the only game I have ever cried at (when Ellie cannot play the guitar and reminisces about Joel), and I couldn't think over a better game to have that experience with.

    The graphics are second to none and wouldn't look out of place on the PS5, so I applause the art designers for that one. Gustavo Santaolalla has given us another masterpiece with the beautifully elegant soundtrack for the game. The gameplay was amazing, the animations were so realistic and the stealth mechanics are some of the best I've experienced.

    If I could change a few things they would be:
    - Play the game earlier in the timeline, making the game maybe 10 hours longer. This would allow us to experience the amazing flashbacks as actual parts linearly. This would add to the emotional trip Ellie experiences throughout her story. (Also giving us more Joel aha)
    - Let us play the whole of Ellie's story and post finishing the game, say now you can play Abby's story and see what she was doing the whole time. I get this ultimately defeats their aim with Abby, however, I believe playing as Abby disrupts the flow of Ellie's revenge-fueled emotional voyage.

    And for that, I leave the review with a solid 9/10

This game is not that bad as everyone tells it's just that people don't want to understand it . Gameplay mechanics , Graphics even the story were good . The story was emotional mainly the part with Joel . After his death even I had low expectations but as story goes I started to like the new and old characters . I liked the part with Ellie going on revenge after Abby , but instead of killing her she kills her friends (only Lev and Abby survive) . As I started playing as Abby a lot of things were revealed about her and I think she had some kind of redemption arc going on which I really liked . The Ending was bit disappointing maybe if they gave people the ability to choose it might have been better . But the best thing or the thing I liked the most were the flashbacks with Joel mainly the one with Ellie's birthday. I already achieved the Platinum trophy so for me I would say the game is underated and people just hate it because of Joel's death but they haven't even tried the game or didn't have it a chance . For me it should be the Game of the Year . Expand

    Masterpiece of story telling. Naughty Dog have created an incredibly somber dark vision of a world plagued by a virus that rampaged the population.

    Ellie’s story for revenge is haunting and disturbing to play, and yet so well executed. The game struggles with the darkest sides of humanity with no clear protagonist or antagonist. It’s straddles the gray middle between black and white and forces you to be incredibly introspective on how the themes fest with in the game unfold It’s also a technical masterpiece, gameplay is very similar to the first one but enhanced a bit, it actually becomes very addictive. New additions like land mines and pipe bongs makes killing genuinely fun. The graphics are probably the best we will see from any console game for many years. I can’t get enough, every set is a masterpiece with so much detail it almost becomes hypnotic to look at.

    I personally preferred this one to the first and think most people who have the ability to think objectively and not emotionally will find this one of the best games ever released by Sony

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minha vontade sinceramente era de dar uma nota 6, o game assim como o primeiro possui uma jogabilidade muito boa, gráficos sensacionais e dublagem excelente (PT Brasileiro)
    Mas, eu, como fã por anos do primeiro jogo senti muita decepção quanto a história...alem dos baits nos trailers não terem s ido legais, nos forçam a simpatizar com uma personagem que muitos não queriam nem ver

    Confesso essa decepção COMO UM FÃ do game The Last of Us, dei a nota 9 pois o game sofreu muito hate...e não achei justo.
    Ainda tenho um carinho pela equipe da Naugthy Dog em respeito ao primeiro jogo. ( ah e achei os detalhes e a brutalidade na morte de um personagem tão querido por nós fãs, Desnecessário.)

    The direction this game was taken in story wise was a big risk but and not what a lot of people were expecting but I wouldn't say it was badly written overall. The gameplay, graphics and sound are a big improvement from the first game which is to be expected but it really is one of the best looking and sounding games out there regardless of opinion on the games plot. The sense of brutality and emotion in the last of us 2 never really drops off from stealth kill to gun fight to cutscence it will have you questioning you're morals and emotions from beginning to end. All in all a solid game with a narrative that is very rarely seen from a video game or movie so I rate it highly for pushing the boundaries of narrative driven singleplayer games, graphics and audio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, game aside, I'm glad that ND went to such lengths to hide the plot, quash the leaks and even deceive fans re playable character's, Joel's involvement etc. Having waited so long for this game, it was far preferable, immersive and more impactful to play through naively blind!

    The visuals and game mechanics in this game are stunning. Not to mention the music. ND have created a world that is beautiful to move through and, whilst the controls for performing actions are simple, the mechanics of performing certain actions (i.e. glass smashing) are really satisfying. The open-world of Downtown Seattle was a brilliant section to play through and gradually build up to more difficult sections later in the game.

    Pacing-wise, it is slower than the first game and obviously much longer. However, by THE halfway point I was nowhere near ready for the game to be over. That being said, I found Abby's arc to be a bit too drawn out, with one too many visits to and from the aquarium. Whilst the encounters on the island with Lev are excellent, I don't feel as though the sections' inclusion added a great deal to the overall narrative.

    In terms of the overall narrative, for me, ND accomplished what they set out to achieve. They took a character who you are supposed to despise, and they lead you to empathise with her story (in addition to taking a character you love and then questioning her actions). By the end of the game I didn't want either protagonist to be killed. And I didn't feel 'tricked' or 'coerced' into feeling that way, it was organic.

    The game is obviously dark and there is a lot of sadness, but there are also lighter moments, often experienced through flashbacks. You get way more moments akin to the 'giraffe' scene from Part 1.

    Overall, I admire the risks that have been taken in making this game as it is, and the fact that it is generating polarising reviews is, in a sense, a measure of its success. If you can play it with an open mind, engage with the decisions that are made on your behalf and try to understand the emotions of the characters then you'll find the game - if not the story - very fulfilling.

    Could there be a Part 3 centring on the theme of redemption? Ellie battling her demons and ultimately seeking out Abby and the Fireflies to give herself up for a cure to be developed? I hope so. I'd also love a DLC where you play through the same 3 days from Tommy's perspective...


    Other likes:
    - The stories within the story, e.g. Boris the Bowhunter, that you discover through finding artefacts and notes.
    - The parallels with Part 1, e.g. David vs. Ellie and the first Abby vs. Ellie encounter. Also the interrogation techniques used by Tommy and Ellie, copying the methods of Joel in Part 1.
    - The anxiety you have of playing through for the first time. Creeping and sneaking through sections that don't end up having any enemies!

    Would have liked:
    - Ellie to put the sniping skills that she learned into practise.
    - Isaac to have been used more as an antagonist. You learn loads about him through notes during the first half of the game, but then he rarely appears and disappears quite anticlimactic. More emphasis on gim and his torturing of others might have helped the narrative flow in terms of Abby turning her back on the WLF.

    Questions:
    - If I get Ellie to leave a trap mine on the theatre fire escape, will Abby and Lev see it when they sneak in later?
    - If I run through the infected section that Abby plays through twice, will they still be there to attack the Scars on the return leg?

    Truly the greatest game ever made. The story is brutal and unforgiving and requires an open mind. If you come into the game wanting a rerun of TLOU1 then you're going to have a bad time and get angry. Ignore the haters, avoid the spoilers, roll with the story.

This game is the most emotional invested game I’ve ever played. The way Joel died made me want to **** beat the **** out of Abby. The game wanted me to feel that way, you have to think about how the game is trying to make you feel and understand the feel and keep on playing. That’s why the user score is so bad because of Joel’s death. This is one of if my top games of all time. If you don’t like the game, just play through it again and understand the emotional investment it puts you through. Understand the hate it will give you towards Abby. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog ​​got as heavy on the story as 1 or 2, the strong point for me are the characters, extremely well scared, it seems that there is real life, and a courage that had to kill the main character was incredible. They killed or Joel in a dry, cruel way and would even say cowardly, but with a purpose: to make people feel and with revenge on their skin, just like Ellie felt, something that is due to Dina who does not cause the same impact, not criteria for the same drama and it would just be another game with the theme of revenge. In such an end of the world, death is a horror, ugly and raw, I was even waiting for some words like "I love you", "take care" in the deaths of certain characters as fantasy, but no, it was dry, it was de suddenly and I cause very strong emotions. As for example, in Jesse's death, before opening a door he was alive after opening a floor like a potato sack, without saying a word, and that's exactly what happens in the world, nothing fancy for 5 minutes to redeem etc., then death. In addition to revenge, the game talks about empathy, something that many people do not feel, did the other side of the coin, so it was amazing to play with an abby, although I still prefer Ellie. The genius of the end was incredible, or the emptiness in which abby and Ellie fight, symbolizing how they feel about the whole story, abby had her goal completed, Ellie did not, but nothing else was left to her since she saw everything that was not there. Joel back and still had Jesse and the Star. The boats too, or the abby's boat turned to the sea to move on, and Ellie's boat towards the land, the abby has already done his revenge, lost people too but the goal was completed and he became a better person and he was ready to move on, already at Ellie, continuing the story of revenge. I love Ellie's ending very much, the biggest fear was being alone and unfortunately it was, in my head I hope you went to Jackson and reconciled with Dina. Tommy, a guy who has weights on his back, but was also being a better person again, became obsessed with revenge too (the loss of his eye symbolizes being blinded by revenge) and had problems with Maria, something that I think ended after the death of his father, who broke up with Owen.

    The game is incredible, I never felt anything like it, but some things spoil the presence of some bugs, but they don't interfere much in the gameplay, and frustrations with the listening mode, as they sometimes don't catch or affect them, are being exhibited.

It seems like more and more bigotry and hatred is coming out every day and my faith in humanity has been diminished all the while. This game is an absolute masterpiece and anyone who doesn't agree hasn't given it a chance to tell the story they so elegantly designed and executed. I'm appaled by anyone who can give this game a negative review. Almost anyone who honestly thinks this game is bad is not the type of person you should keep in your life as all of the hate for the game that I've seen has come from hatred towards the LGBT community and that is unacceptable in this day and age.

    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.
