    I think all the hate is overblown and unwarranted. You may not be fond of the story and I understand. But from my play-through, the gameplay and combat was fantastic. i liked the story and they really didn't meant to be sympathetic to abby, they just wanted you to understand from another perspective, and I did. One of the best games of 2020 in my honest opinion.

    Took me a month to finish the game (because you know, work responsibilities).

    Despite the negative reviews, I'd give this game a 10/10. It talks about a lot of important issues, (Ellie being a lesbian for one) but i personally can relate to the Ellie and Joel relationship.

    Worth every peso i spent to get this game at launch

If you are still a teenager then it´s understandable, your stupidity is justify as your brain is still underdeveloped, but if you are already in your 20s, grow up for god sake, life is not always as you want it, things not always go as you expect, and all in all is very much full of sh**. That been said, the game is a masterpiece, great mature story and characters developement, solid and satisfying gameplay even thou it doesn’t innovate, amazing world, graphics and music. If you like happy endings this game is not for you, and that is ok, just don’t trash over the game because of that, there are tons of good games with happy ending, go pick one.… Expand

What people are calling "plot holes" in the review bombing are some details that are well enough justified during the game, but some of them take place in crucial parts of the game and could have been better thought. These details and the smallest highlight to the soundtrack( comparing with the first one) are the only "bad" things that I could find in this game.

    Nobody is prepared to this game, if you can't handle a profound game in a world where no character is safe, and where there are no heroes, then you should go play fortnite. This is a disturbing and yet amazing experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m going to start this review by saying, this game Is not for everyone, but neither was TLOU part 1!

    This is my 1st game review ever, but I feel compelled to add my 2 cents as I am a fan of the original and the zombie genre.

    It’s important to understand that this game may upset the loyalist but remains true to the cinematic story created and in which you play countless hours traversing thru.

    That being said, the world these characters live in is cold, violent, dangerous, painful, emotional, and most importantly has consequences.

    Let’s first understand that TLOU part 1 is not Joel’s story. He is the vehicle that propels the story, which is Ellie’s story. Ellie is the cure; Ellie is the reason to go across the country to get her to the Fireflies; Ellie is the reason Joel transforms and wants to save the daughter he couldn’t. Joel’s story hasn’t been told. Joel’s story is in the 20 years between his daughter’s death and when he accepts to smuggle Ellie across the country. I assume that his story will be told with the TV show coming to HBO.

    TLOU 2 is Abby’s story. She seeks revenge to kill Joel for killing her father. This was the consequence of saving Ellie in addition to stripping away humanity’s hope for a cure to the virus. A selfish act on Joel’s part, yet we celebrate that decision. It shouldn’t sit well with anyone despite it being a great game, but this game at its core is a cinematic experience and that’s what makes this game complex, emotional, and a masterpiece.

    Story: Well if you played it then you know that gamers are split on the story. Some people hate it and some people love it. I have to look at this from both sides of the coin. As a game, it’s complex and I would have to say ahead of its time. Balancing the cinematic along with it being a game is a challenge. However, I do expect more of this with the upcoming PS5. The focus will be not just on gameplay but the incredible storytelling that will sway more towards the cinematic. Now the story in TLOU2 is a great cinematic experience full of violence, danger, pain, emotion, and most importantly consequences. As I mentioned, the story fits the world these characters are in, but I do think there could have been a better payoff at the end. A better ending would have been for ND to have us believe Ellie kills Abby, to later find out that she is actually still alive. This still would have given the gamer closer and still been a setup for a TLOU 3 which is what they intended with the current ending anyway. I think Naughty Dog would need to add a DLC that would entice us to buy TLOU 3. As it stands now there are too many people distraught over Joel’s death and Abby still gets to live. So, I get that. I think a DLC should focus on Lev and Abby in Catalina and the reemergence of the Fireflies as well as Ellie’s life after this experience. Will the Fireflies come after her for the cure? Will Ellie start her life outside of Jackson?

    Gameplay: The gameplay mechanics are hands down incredible. Crafting is always fun and the game is more challenging than the first. I actually like Abby’s gun better so I had a blast playing 2 different characters with different weapons and strength. It was like playing 2 games in one. I also liked that ND added accessibility features which allows new players with a handicap to play. I think the gameplay was fun and well thought out. Thankfully that they didn’t change too much from the original game. Lastly, I like that I got to keep all my upgrades every time I play so that was cool.

    Graphics: Stunning! The landscape is ridiculous and the best I have ever seen! The best scenes are when you first meet Lev and Yara and when Ellie chases Nora. Those were incredible sequences.

    So, I will give this game an 8 overall. I think you have to just try to accept the story and trust in the journey. I think just a standard linear story would have been boring, so I like that ND tried to do something very different at the risk of losing some loyalists. They stayed true to the characters within this world they have created. However, without a DLC I think it would not excite most fans to return. One other thing I would like to see added is perhaps a way to skip some of the flashbacks for your 2nd walkthrough. It doesn’t add value to the gameplay and I just want to kill Scars, Rattlers, and Zombies. Lol! I think it’s a great game, but you must let the story carry you and not go against the grain. Enjoy the ride and you will enjoy it more.    … Expand

    This is an extraordinary game for which the developers took a lot of risk. They knew by having a gay woman as a protagonist, and a prominent trans character, that they would be opening themselves up to be targeted by a very vocal subset of gamers who would be intolerant to such things.

They knew by having a gay woman as a protagonist, and a prominent trans character, that they would be opening themselves up to be targeted by a very vocal subset of gamers who would be intolerant to such things. For those who are not (let's face it) bigoted in such ways, you are in for an eye-popping adventure with heartbreak, humor and and ultimately a story unlike anything I've seen in a game. Indeed, what Naughty Dog has achieved here is only possible in a game. This is a story about empathy, humanity, and the moral grey areas within which most of us reside. To say more would be to provide spoilers, so I will leave it at that.

    The original game contained possibly my favorite story in any narrative art form, and this continuation raises every bar. The Last of Us Part 2 is dark, there's no denying it. And it may not be for everybody. But please don't let that user score be the thing that scares you off: this game struck a nerve in public discourse, and it was review-bombed mercilessly before the game was even released.

    Anyway, I recommend this game with all of my heart. Look to the light.    … Expand

Even with my massively high hopes and expectations, I had a great experience with this sequel. ND had a lot to live up to, and they certainly took some risks with the bold plot decisions and ambitious writing. What I will say is - I avoided almost everything about this game before it was released. Hardly paid attention to so much as a trailer amongst the chaos of the leaks etc. By doing so, I had no pre-existing views on this game whatsoever, and allowed myself to experience it on a completely blank slate with an open mind as I'd intended. There are so many fantastic things to take away from this game that people are completely overlooking because of the things they dont like. I personally love the gameplay, as its familiar with regard to the first game and doesn't stray away from what we know and grew to love, however it's still been healthily adjusted in ways to be smoother and very enjoyable with a few new touches to it. I played it through on Survivor difficulty for my first go at the game, which was a refreshing challenge. You really have to be conscious of your resource consumption, and have to make the effort to explore the areas you come across to get the most out of your travels. I think the stealth side of the encounters is very thorough and enjoyable, while being very tough at times. The same goes for a more aggressive, gun-based approach none the less. NPC behaviour is much less predictable and you have to be very patient. I'd recommend playing this game on a harder difficulty to get the most out of it honestly. If you are one of the more veteran fans of ND games, there're are a few nice Easter Eggs to be enjoyed through the game if you take some time to look around. On that note, the treasure-hunting side of it is quite comparable to that of Uncharted, yet the lore within the many artefacts you will discover is incredibly detailed and adds a whole new layer of depth to what's already going on through the game. The artwork is amazingly detailed as I'd expect, and the scenery/settings just look fantastic wherever you are. I am also massively fond of the composer of this series. As a musician myself, I found I really appreciated how great the compositions are, and felt they were executed incredibly well through the game. These are some elements that particularly stood out for me. Now to confront the negative responses to this game... I believe a vast amount of the players aren't even attempting to enjoy or understand some of the elements of the game that make it a great experience... I dont necessarily think it is absolutely flawless, and I can appreciate genuine criticism that is put forward reasonably of course. There were decisions in the story that didn't just sit right with me at first, and I'd have to let them sink in over the course of the game. I eventually came to understand the parts that I initially met with scepticism. I wouldn't expect everyone to have the same views as myself on it and that's fine. But I am seeing a ton of very shallow, limited criticisms that are presented very bitterly, and just seem completely sheepish as far as I'm concerned. Not only that, but I have seen some takes on certain things that are just so dim-witted that I can't even take them seriously, since the people putting such judgements forward obviously lack the compacity to think over a story on a deeper level and are completely misundersting aspects of the plot in the game. Furthermore, last time I checked, not even half the owners of this game had actually completed it themselves. Funny how there's an overwhelming amount of loud negativity towards the title when you consider this right? Play it with an open mind and form your own opinion. I wish people's approaches weren't so narrow-minded and that they thought for themselves for a change... Anyway, that's how I see it. I don't mean to rant on this, but some of you will understand where I'm coming from, others will write off the game and everything I'm saying because they are blinded by resentment and pre-existing opinions already. It is what it is. I hope some of you can take the positives from this game amongst anything you may not like as much, and form a genuine, balanced opinion on it once you have finished it. How one can score this game as low as 0 is absurd to me. It isn't as if no effort has been put into making it, but you would think so based on some of the irrational, compulsive reviews people throw around online on very limited grounds.

    I hope anyone who hasn't already experienced TLOU Part II can take my review on board and approach the game with an open mind like I did myself, and you may just find you are able to throughly appreciate what this title has to offer. If you have read this far, thank you for putting the time in to do so.     … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was hands down the greatest game I have ever played. That title was previously held by the first game.

    The story was a work of art for me. A genius masterpiece of a level I have never experienced before through the video game medium. I hope other AAA titles can learn from this game, as I believe it brings the entire gaming medium to a new level not previously achieved.

    The graphics, sounds, atmosphere, details, environments were all flawless. The game play took the core loops of the first (which were excellent) and improved upon them. The real magic of this game lies in the story however. I have never felt more connected or personally involved in the stories of a cast of video game characters. By the end of the game - Ellie, Abbey, Lev, Dina, Yara were all very real people to me.

    I cannot recommend this game enough. You are doing yourself a massive disservice if you skip over this title. To date is stands as the pinnacle of gaming experiences, and I cannot wait for more games to follow suit at this caliber.    … Expand

    TLOU2 is an incredible sequel. It doesn’t have the magic that you experience playing TLOU1 for the first time, but it makes up for that with a fantastic story.

    But back then it wasn't possible for grifters with a political agenda to rally an army of like-minded to spam a single site with thousands of negative reviews (zeros ... c'mon) upon a game's release. Logistically, it was impossible for the 3.3 user score to be a genuine reaction based on actually playing the game.

    TheQuartering and the other Youtubers that have attacked this game haven't even played it as they have "reliable sources" (a small handful of mixed reviews). They're not an intellectually honest group of people: "The Last Of Us 2 Sales PLUMMET 80% & Games FLOOD The Used Market!" This is an almost identical sales drop as Uncharted 4 which is not unusual for an AAA release. I knew they would cherry pick this data (they're grifters) and I honestly feel bad for anyone stupid enough to fall for their crap.

    TLOU2 is a brilliant game. Not everyone has to agree but the reaction to the game really has been absurd to anyone with more than a few brain cells. If someone hasn't intentionally spoiled this game on you (unlikely), go in fresh and keep an open mind.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games ever made.
    Really good acting, story and maybe some of the best graphics I 've seen so far.

    I get why a lot of people did not like the ending or the killing of a major character in the beginning of the game. Nevertheless there is no doubt that this is a great game. When I finished it I felt pretty empty inside. One side of me wanted Aby to die and one side of me wanted her to survive. I also felt the same for Ellie. Why should she get to survive after all she has done to so many good people?
    I think it was the ending that the game needed but maybe not the one I really wanted. I don't really know.
    The above feelings is exactly why this game is so amazing. It makes you feel stuff for the antagonist, it makes you question your own loyalty to the protagonist and it makes you question revenge, even if the end feels like you just saw a Lanthimos movie and your heart is about to fall in the darkest place ever.
    This is not a classic Denzel Washington movie and should never be one, where revenge is a dish served cold. It is freaking warm and you can feel how much revenge is about doing bad things no matter how much you need it.

    I feel that the bad user score this game has got is because of the lack of objectiveness in the gamer community or maybe in the world in general. Maybe that was the point of Naughty Dog's game from the beginning: to play on the objectiveness of people.

    To conclude I think this is a must play game.

With extreme dexterity, I kept myself away from the spoilers as I had already ordered the game and was eagerly awaiting the release date. And, as the release date approached, I prayed that my money and my long waitI remember, when the main gameplay bits first started to leak; the kind which didn’t need any context to matter, yet it was the kind to infuriate most of the gaming community. With extreme dexterity, I kept myself away from the spoilers as I had already ordered the game and was eagerly awaiting the release date. And, as the release date approached, I prayed that my money and my long wait would not go wasted. The recommended videos on my youtube home page didn’t help however, as many videos started to be titled as “The Story of an Angry Lesbian” and “How to Not Make A Sequel”. The video titles were not wrong; well atleast the first half of them. You see, The Last of Us Part II IS actually the story of an extremely angry lesbian - but how one’s sexuality can affect the game’s outcome is beneath me. The other half of the youtube video titles however, soon turned out to prove themselves to be wrong, as this proved to be (atleast, for me) the greatest sequel to any game ever.

    > Story (without spoiling it):
    The Last of Us Part II is a story of vengeance. In fact, I think it is the greatest story of vengeance ever crafted. It’s the story of Ellie and her hunt for blood following the events of the first game.

    The game takes off at around a couple of years later from the incident with the Fireflies. The game constantly pans out and off from the current time period, showing different scenarios of the past with the aid of time stamps. TLOU2 shows us a blood thirsty Ellie in an ageing world. For events that stirs up at the beginning of the story, Ellie goes on a hunt for revenge and takes down everyone who seemed to be a barricade. >Detailing:
    You cannot ever depend on firearms and only truly learn to depend on the usability of your trusty switchblade and stealth. Drops of ammo and supplies becomes rarer with the rising difficulty and the experience that much harder. There are workbenches to upgrade your weapon and safes to ravage from. Whenever you want to craft something or apply a medkit, you need to do so manually, which teaches you to utilise every fleeting moment in an encounter or a battle. In these tiny, yet evolving manners, The Last of Us Part II always holds the attention of the player. It’s almost unfulfilling ending reminds me of my favourite tv series’ and once again sets the bar for “cinematic experiences” in games to a whole another level. This is not the sequel we asked for, but the sequel we needed. >My History With The Franchise:
    I first played The Last of Us back in 2014, in my PS3. A year later, I bought the remastered edition on my PS4, to try out the DLC. It was amazing; it had the most consistent character development, borderline thrilling storyline, an unique gameplay and just the overall aesthetic of the game was appealing. The Last of Us had one of the most fulfilling endings in any game I played, yet from the moment I finished the game, I was eagerly waiting for a sequel. The next year, we were blessed with a reveal trailer, and the waiting got more and more hard to deal with. Before the date of release, I feared the game would be terrible. I was sad, as I already had ordered the game and was badly waiting for the release date. It was a delight to see my fear being proven >Why I Love The Game:
    The Last of Us Part II loves testing the players by putting them in tough situations. I often found myself staring up above to the sky, looking for a high building or navigating for the sunset or spotting the ferris wheel. I only did those, to get around. There is no HUD map, and that’s how it should be. TLOU2 likes to show dominance as a survival post-apocalyptic game, and it does in every chance possible.
    Combat is absolutely terrifying. You can light up entire hordes with dynamite pointed arrows, explode blood hounds on your trial with land mines, take hostages as their friends cry for their life - kill their friend first and slowly kill your hostage as he/she begs for their fleeting life. Instead of watching the same animation for stealth killing someone, you’re blessed with gruesome scenes of Ellie puncturing her enemies’ throats as their blood soaks her clothes. Instead of fighting every infected in the area, you can stun them sharply and run for your life. Instead of going in with blazing guns; you can take up stealth and execute it a score of different ways all while your comrade follows your lead. These are all new to the series, as in the previous entry all we got was sadly monotonous gameplay compared to its sequel. The point is, the best looking game on the PS4, also is a ton of fun regardless the blood ridden storyline.

    > Final Thoughts With everything the game has to offer along with the best ending I’ve witnessed; I am utterly in love with the whole experience. If my words are worth anything (which is rare to be so), I’d rate this masterwork; quite easily and deservingly 10/10.    … Expand

    Throughout my play through of LoU Part 2, I genuinely couldn't understand why it had such a low user score - the game plays like a dream, visually stunning, technically amazing and the story is incredible if not horribly bleak at times.

    So with these points in mind... here's what I demised.

    First Point, Gameplay.
    Not straying far (if at all) from what made the first game so great to play, all the mechanics from the predecessor are back. Crafting, pill supplements, fluid stealth or gunfights depending on your play style, listen mode... all the familiar traits are back which if anything have been tightened up for an even smoother ride. There aren't too many new elements that have been introduced and resources are once again pretty scarce, so exploration and using your findings sparingly is key, but having played the first one, you'll soon get back into the scavenger mindset.

    Speaking of exploration; this is more of a big deal in Part 2. Whilst it's not an open world game, the sections are HUGE. You will need multiple play throughs to see everything, and having gone over every section as finely as I possibly could, I still found myself missing treasures, artefacts and who knows what else.

    Combat and general gameplay is once again airtight. There are no loading screens, lag or drops in frame rate making the whole campaign very fluid. There a couple of bugs that have worked their way in, but these are few and far between which don't generally interfere with the experience too much, but there were a couple of moments where it killed the illusion for me slightly because when they do happen... they are noticeable.
    There are also many great cinematic chase sequences along with seriously intense fights - my heart was racing on numerous occasions from pure adrenaline.

    Seriously though... the fights are something else.
    The first game had its fair share of balls to the wall conflicts, but Part 2 expands on this hugely. Every NPC has a name, making it all the more guilt ridden when you hear one of their friends crying out in despair after you mindlessly pop a bullet through their head, or worst yet end up killing a dog when it's them or you. At the start I thought this was a nice touch and would maybe make you think a little bit more about mindless violence.
    However, it's later in the story when you truly see the consequences of your violent actions that make you question yourself and everything you have been through up until this point in the game. More on this further down.

    Second point, Visuals.
    Not much to say here aside from the LoU's game engine really gives it everything it's got to deliver a visually breathtaking world.
    Starting off in the beautiful sunset overlooking Jackson, painting everything in luminous golds and oranges, all the way through blinding snow storms, rainy and flooded cities to fires raging through a settlement - all the environments are painted with glistening detail. Two of the most impressive elements are the shadows realistically given off by your flashlight, and the effects of water that convincingly soaks as well as darkens everything it touches.
    They also didn't spare any detail on the grimmer side of the LoU world either just to note - if you shoot someone through the head even with the "weakest" gun in your inventory, it's going to leave a realistic chunky mess accompanied by convincing audio to keep you battling your lunch down.

    Now, the story...
    Now, from what I have seen in other reviews, this is what seems to upset so many people. I'll try to avoid too many spoilers!
    The story in a couple of words is incredibly intense, and at times very bleak. The story truly expands on Ellie as a character and we see a whole new form of her - blinded by pure rage and the promise of revenge, you see her inflicting acts of violence on a whole new level to what we have previously seen.
    The genius of this game though lies in the consequences of these actions. Unlike any other game I have seen, you truly see the impact of what bloodlust and revenge leads to - pain and torment. When the game switches in the second half to Abby, you end up understanding her and her companions more, getting attached and then maybe even siding with her despite the awful introduction.
    No other video game has put you in the shoes of the "antagonist" in this way, and I can only say it truly is very important that a game has finally done something like this - we are saturated with violence in video games, and in a way it can make us desensitised to it. Last Of Us Part 2 flips this round and makes you get attaches to these people you are set out to kill, and in the end makes you feel genuinely uncomfortable for having to carry out Ellie's actions.
    Basically, this is a game that really makes you think. It is depressing at times, but this is pretty real depiction of what would happen were the world to fall to ruin like this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es una maravilla, el nivel de detalle alcanzado por Naughty dog es simplemente impresionante, mecánicamente el juego logra pulir y refinar la bases del primer juego, haciendo una evolución bastante orgánica. La historia en mi opinión fue un buen acierto de Naughty dog, fue un movimiento arriesgado y un cambio muy bienvenido, quizás la historia puede conectar o no contigo pero el nivel de inmersión logrado por este estudio es magnífico, el cambio a Abby fue duro, ya que este personaje da una pésima primera impresión, pero no desentona para nada en este universo, no olvidemos que ninguno de éstos personajes puede ser considerado como héroe, ninguno va a morir de manera heroica ni teatral, aquí no hay personajes permanentes y tur acciones siempre van a tener consecuencias. Abby y su venganza es consecuencia directa de las acciones de Joel, mismas que lo alcanzaron por fin en Jackson y Ellie simplemente ya la perdió. Es una experiencia que se tiene que vivir en carne propia y sacar sus propias conclusiones, para mí es el mejor juego que ha lanzado Naughty dog. Lo recomiendo… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After passing The Last Of Us 2, I was left with a feeling of emptiness, I could not perceive the story and did not understand what the game wanted to convey to me. By the way the final location in this game where Ellie arrives perfectly reflects the feelings that
    I and many other players have experienced a lot of desolation, which is a very symbolic detail. But after a while, I fully comprehended the ending. After I realized what Drakman wanted to say at the end of the game I realized how brilliant the ending is. The essence of the plot of The Last Of Us 2 is that it shows us not how to take revenge, as many thought after passing. This game is entirely dedicated to the story of the cycle of violence it shows us how the path of revenge can be unnecessary and tragic and what irreversible and terrible consequences it can lead to this is the whole essence of the plot of the second part of TLOU. People who really thought that the plot is a banal story about revenge(which was strange to expect from Drakman), in the final saw not what they expected because of which there was a huge amount of controversy and negative reviews.    … Expand

    A truly incredible game that is being destroyed by people who have a problem with a story that challenges its audience and characters who don't always act the way the audience wants them to.

    Não era o final que eu esperava mas, achei o jogo 9/10, parabéns Naughty dog pela obra prima, não curto a lacração forçada do game e a apologia ao uso se drogas, mas como é um jogo voltado para maiores ok, achei super injusta as baixas avaliações, jogo é fantástico sim.

    Es un juego excelente, que exprime al máximo las capacidades del ps4 por su atención al detalle, me canicas de combate entretenidas y sobretodo una historia madura que apetece terminar. Su pecado más grande es que es demasiado largo y hay cosas que el juego puedo evitar para hacerlo más didáctico.
    Sin duda es un juego que recomendaría a todo poseedor de una ps4

    The game play and story set the bar high even for Naughty Dogs standards. Everyone involved in making this game should be very proud. Congratulations! This game is a true masterpiece and is a perfect example of why gaming offers experience that can never be obtained in movies or books.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
