    i dont know what is wrong with those people who give this great game a zero, seriously? for me this game is in all possible departments a 10, i can respect if someone doesnt see it that way but everything below a 6 is just embarrasing.

The storyFirst of I will be posting no spoilers and the following is my opinions on the game, that should be obvious to most people but some people get really offended by other peoples opinions so thought I’d include that statement for them. This game is fantastic, the characters and setting are vastly more immersive than the first. The emotions connecting the characters, feels very real. The story they are trying to tell involves a lot of complex emotions. I understand some plot points have been hotly contended but in order to tell this kind of a story it needs to be done. I’ve often find myself both very hopeful and very Machiavellian in regards to humanity and society. This story happens to appeal to that very nature. The gameplay is very fun and tense when it needed to be. I couldn’t be happier with the way it has turned out and I see the reactions from angry gamers about the controversial plot point as a testament to how well written these characters are. The world is fleshed out really well the environment are open and linear which is perfect. The score is somber and thoughtful and I genuinely got lost in the music when it would kick in and exhilarated when it Would ramp up for a fight. The enemies are expertly crafted and will go down as some of the best enemy concepts ever, truly terrifying.

    Naughty dog has always delivered thee best games, The Jak and Daxter series was arguably one of my favourite game series and uncharted is one of the best game series ever made. The last of part II has ensured that the PS4s life cycle is going to end stronger than ever. Congratulations to Naughty Dog I cant wait for the future games from you.    … Expand

    Everything is perfect about this game. The story, the thrill, the adrenaline, the emotions, the soundtrack, facial animations (!!!, btw the best I've seen to date in a video game). This is the game that will stay in my memory forever, some particular moments. The art in its purest form. Thank You, Naughty Dog!

    Most visually striking game outside PC. Combat is better than original, adding dodge, jump, and prone. Dialogue, music, and story all build on and improve on TLOU.

    Don't let all the butthurt snowflakes deter you. It's a masterpiece plain and simple. If only it were the other way around and Ellie died and Joel got revenge for her, then all these self-loathing women-hating basement-dwellers would be prematurely cumming on their waifus.    … Expand

    This is called "part 2" for a reason. The story ties in really well and makes the connections. I know most are upset over something within the first 2 hours of the game, myself included, but, its a 20 plus hour game, see how it plays out. Maybe you'll enjoy it, i did, a lot

    Probably the best game I've ever played. It was incredibly dark, and for that reason I'm not sure I can say it's my favorite game , but it was so well-crafted that I was just continually in awe. The characters, at least the main characters, feel so authentic - thanks to amazing voice acting, really in-depth writing (so many small conversations), and sheer graphical excellence.

The story itself is somber and disturbing, but it sucks you in emotionally. The game play itself is more nuanced and satisfying than any Naughty Dog game before it, and they set the bar pretty high. This game proves video games can be something radically more than they've been before.

    I don't think anybody who didn't appreciate the first game would ever like this one. That first game was dark and uncomfortable too - not exactly the kind of game you "like." This game doubles down on everything: the characters, the story, the darkness, the discomfort, the horror... but it does it so well, it's hard to deny it's mastery of the art form.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 had a big challenge ahead of them to follow in the footsteps of the first game, a game revered for its storytelling, graphics, gameplay, and characters. And it did not disappoint, unless you came into this game with a closed mind, expecting the story you wished they wrote. But they did not write the game you think you wanted, there are no "only happens in a movie" moments. There is no breaking of realism. You get pure, deep and realistic people for characters, in a raw, intense story. The first game is told from the perspective of Joel and Ellie, the good guys. But the second game plays on that, Joel, you seemingly has only ever had the interests of Ellie's and those closest to him in mind. The story unravels that, showing the lies, deceit, manipulation, and the senseless murder of the man who may have been able to end the infection once and for all. We get emotional cutscenes and flashbacks, to the things that mattered most to Ellie, why she idolized Joel, and grew up wanting to be like him, to the scenes of her discovering his lies about what happened in the hospital. Her resentment for him, for the person she had once held so dear. Ellie's journey in this game is how she found a way to exorcise the demon that way Joel, as good as his intentions may have seemed while playing him in the first game. They were selfish and manipulative to others.

    Ellie's story sees her struggle with that to the very last moments of the game.

    Abby's arch, the one you're supposed to hate for brutally killing off the beloved main character of the first game. Is a roller coaster. A good one. Her story has deep roots, amazing character development for her, and if you catch the details of the game, it really makes you empathize with her, she's not a bad person at all, She's just someone that wants to bring her father's killer to justice. She does so, without leaving a trail of other dead bodies behind, a stark difference to Ellie's approach, which as quoted by Ellie herself, were acts that she thought Joel would have done, that is why she needs to.

    No, Abby is not the villain, but the light in the story. Her consistent humanity keeps surfacing over and over again. When she hears a story that one of her best friends his missing after supposedly killing another WLF member. She doesn't just take that and let it go, but she cares deeply to seek out the truth and make sure her friend is okay. She risks losing the safety of being a WLF for a few different characters, even risks her life, facing her greatest fear several times, and encountering the best boss baddie of the game. Through her arch, she sees the innocence of some children Seraphites, willing to help them after they save her life as she is nearing a gruesome death. Never faltering in her morals, a Seraphite and her eventually ends the story in a reminiscent way to how Ellie and Joel ended the story of the first game. Poetic.

    What makes the writing so great though, is that many of the senseless deaths just happen, as they would. Very true to what we would expect the realism to be. There are hardly heroic deaths in dying moments, though a couple, and none that are just unbelievable, all feel real. The game is written to stay true to entertain you through storytelling rather than the unattainable mind-blowing action moves you'd expect in the Die Hard series.

    All in all, this game built on the first game, and pushed a challenging story through, successfully. As long as you're willing and able to see the details in it and not just assume the revenge plot of childish behavior, but actually recognize the perspective. If you miss that, you will probably get caught up on hating Abby for killing Joel. However, if you really do yourself that favor, you're bound to end up seeing Abby as one of the most humane, likeable characters of the series. Both her and Ellie's stories, woven together as they are, have substance. Even more than the first game, and that is saying a lot.

    There is a reason professional critics have this game rated so highly. They genuinely played through the game, with an open mind, and were rewarded with an experience from what could possibly be considered the greatest game to date.    … Expand

    The story goes deeper into the moral dilemma of the value of a life and the consequences of our actions. Although the main story revolves again around ellie, the game now gives us the opportunity to know the other side of the story. How Joel's decision had repercussions far beyond from just "saving" Ellie. The game even gives us the opportunity to play as the "enemy", which it definitely adds perspective and complexity to the world built around the original characters.
    Usually games give us faceless very bad guys to justify the actions of the epic hero, which makes it easier to kill every one that stand on his way without asking if the guy that we just killed had his own motivations. For me, the bad reviews are from people that got very attached to the original characters, and watching them as the "enemy" is not something that you usually find on games. I also have seen criticism about some changes in the characters' personality, and I admit that some changes seem to be there just for the sake of the game's argument. But if you think about it, the context on which we met Joel for the first time, is very different to where he stands on the second part, he doesn't have the same objectives or even the same perspective about his life. While the story seemed to me to be a very good one, I must admit that the last quest is kind of non sense, but I guess that at the end is just Ellie's brutal revenge story and human nature.    … Expand

I had strayed from gaming until Covid had relegated people to their houses and I decided to pick this one up.

I found myself truly engrossed in this title from beginning to end. I didn't want to put it down. Beautiful graphics, great story, excellent game play, very polished presentation. The Last of Us Part II literally checks all of the boxes. I understand that it was review bombed by those that didn't like the way it handled the main characters that they had grown to love from the first title. Those reviews are completely off base, but to each his own. If you haven't played this and see it sitting in the bargain bin at your local store it is well worth the purchase.

The entire game is about the revolving circle of revenge and how nobody wins when seeking revenge.

    My biggest gripe with the game was the super slow beginning, but once the big change happens in the story when you get a new POV, is when the game really picks up.

    I found myself liking the Abby character and her story, here internal moral dilemmas, and her external moral dilemmas, more than Ellie's, which I think has turned a lot of people off of the game, but refused to even give the game a chance to make you care about the new characters.

    As for people who are being transphobic because of the inclusion of a Trans Character, the story doesn't even try to ram anything down your throat, but it does give a glimpse at someone's struggle as a trans person. But if you want to deprive yourself of this great story because you're worried about your transphobia, your really doing yourself a disservice, but you probably don't deserve this experiance.    … Expand

    A lot of people who didn't play the game will hate on it, and some people did not like the story because it made them feel awful, while I think the greatest achievement of the game is to make you feel a certain way, it's a story based game, I recommend buying it 100%

    The story is you like it, or you don't, but that is only personal taste. I did like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS*

    The last of us part II again subverts the expectations of what a lead protagonist should be. While we feel genuine hatred for Abby after she so barbarically kills Joel it creates the same anger that Ellie feels within the player. Watching that scene unfold I felt the same anger and sadness as Ellie and rarely can a game illicit such a response. The last of us part 2 does a great job at posing a real question to the player. Can the love for someone out way the things they have done? And should they not be accountable for their actions? Joel systematically continued the end of the world by eliminating the only doctor that could have created a cure. Thus plunging the world into eternal chaos. Just because his intentions were not to lose another daughter can we really as rational thinking people not expect that decision to catch up with him? It should have and it did. Now when the shift to Abby arrives we again are posed another question. Who exactly is the villain here? We see Abbys trauma almost mimic Ellie’s. Loss of a father that fuels a blinding hatred. I think it’s quite poignant to point out Neil Druckmanns Israeli heritage, not to attack but as a backdrop for the themes of this game. I am a British born Palestinian and my life has continuous been filled with a parental given hatred for a people I know nothing about. I think the whole theme of the cyclical nature of revenge and violence are very real problems the world faces today. Inability to forgive and move past trauma. Naughty dog have really hammered home the idea that everyone is a villain in someone else’s story. Abby the villain in Ellie’s story. Joel the villain of Abby story. Ellie the villain in the stories of Nora, Mel and Owen. And in the world of the last of us that fits beautifully. It’s the post apocalypse and there are no good people any more. Just varying shades of grey. I praise this game not because the story was amazing. But because it dared to do something more. Challenge my preconceptions and opinions uand art that makes you think that deep is never going to be bad a thing. Growth is everything. Forgiveness is all.    … Expand

No idea why it got hate, it’s one of the best games on the PS4 (maybe the best). Possibly people don’t like non-cookie cutter stories but this felt more real than anything the first one ever did. In the end you’re supposed to be left seeing that there’s always another side to the story and people/things aren’t just black and white, or good and evil. And sometimes things don’t just get wrapped up in a little bow for you. Especially in a world as grim as the one in the game. The game played this all out beautifully.

To me, TLOU series was never about the gameplay, Naughty Dog's primary focus was the story and that's where they banked on. And banked on indeed! Fans are split. Yes the story leaves a bitter, burning acidic taste in your mouth from the get go. The story is dark, gritty and leaves you empty but that's exactly what makes it a brilliant game. Character development was nicely paced and needed. Acting chops of of each character in the game was top notch. The emotional impact that TLOU 2 rivals that of a finely crafted drama movie. No other game has made me feel that way. Overall, TLOU 2 was an incredible, breathtaking ride. Can't wait for the HBO series!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a visual masterpiece, and the story is definitely not bad, although I can see why some players won't come to terms with it.

    When Abby's part begins, it quickly becomes obvious that the game is more like a two-in-one short games instead of just one long game. This is because none of the upgrades and improvements gained for Ellie carry over to Abby, With Abby the game starts anew, even to the point of introducing new weapons, along with reset upgrades and improvements. Abby will need to be leveled up just like Ellie was.

    So considering this, I'd suggest anyone to play the game all the way to when Abby is introduced again, and stop there for a couple of weeks. Go play something else, then return after a while, because you'll be returning to the "3rd game" in the series.    … Expand

    People need to grow up - there is no point for Naughty Dog to re-make the same game, just to keep fans of the first game pleased.

    The Last of Us II IS a different game. And while it is different - it is still extremely entertaining and well executed.

    This game is a test. A test by ND to see if gamers have two things. Embathy and emotional intelligence.

It presents violence in an extend that is never presented before..and in the end through that, it gives us a lesson..that everything is in our minds and when we get to reconciliate with ourselves we are going to do that with the others...This game brutally presents that when we do something its ok, but when someone else does it...we cant put ourselves in their shoes...I m grateful that i have played this masterpiece..i hope more games will take such many risks and brake more emotional walls...… Expand

    This game is polemic, its a very good example of what a good game should be.

    I cannot fathom the outrage this game has spurred, but I can tell you that, as a fan of the original (and as someone who felt there was no need for a sequel at all) this is truly a worthy successor to the first, both in story and in gameplay.

    No spoilers follow. I played this game without reading reviews, or visiting this website. I've since discovered the highly polarised response on line. I'm not surprised. I urge you to ignore all of these and play this game to experience what it is. Sadly, I think many of the negative reviews reflect game fans inability to accept female or LGBT story influences.

I urge you to ignore all of these and play this game to experience what it is. Sadly, I think many of the negative reviews reflect game fans inability to accept female or LGBT story influences. There were intense moments when I wanted this game to be over, or that something that was about to happen wouldn't. I felt emotionally drained at times and struggled to sleep when I played it too late.

    However, I knew I was going to play to the end. I may never play it again but it will make all other games pale in comparison. Without being too over the top, it is more than a game. It shows the potential for what games can accomplish, in a more impactful way than other media. I can't spoil it for you but it is truly innovative in the way it confronts you with its story. I've literally just finished so need time to process. But Naughty Dog have excelled themselves and brought the PS4 to a high point.    … Expand

    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]
