    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. The story is dark and twisted. If I wanted to relive what was in the first one, I would go and play TLOU.
    I loved the gameplay. Sneaking around, better combat, more swimming, more hiding. Really great.
    I liked two sides of story. I dont think you were suppose to like Abby cause you have to play as her. Its your choice if you gonna like her, or not. No one elses.
    Yes, it was cruel what happened to Joel. But what he did while saving Ellie - we all knew its BAD. its to choose one person over all others. Joel and Tommy did some stuff before the game and we all know it too. They were no saints.
    So, didnt you think someone would take revenge? Someone from family gonna just pass on that? Eye for an eye. Thats the whole story. Revenge. On both sides.

    And for god's sake, if you complain about s*x scene with Abby, and her body type - I really suggest looking around that women come in ALL shapes. As a woman myself, I was pleased to see someone who is not the sexy body type, or skinny, but a woman, who works out and have muscles. ( If you think Im the same, no. I'm absolute opposite. )

    Play the game. You don't like it? Fine.
    I loved it.
    A little minus for some repetitive parts of games. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.
    Ive read some people who wrote they own plot of the game...There is forum for that. Just cause you don't like that it's not happy ending story, does not mean game is bad.
    And thank you Naught Dog, for including LGBTQ+ in the game.

    This game doesn't need the bad reviews, even if it wasn't what you expected. People delayed this game just to make sure it was perfect for release, maybe it doesn't remind you of tlou cause the characters evolve, Ellie isnt just a kid anymore so what did you expect? Another father and daughter moment in a post apocalyptic world?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game you have to play all the way through to really appreciate. Honestly about four or five times throughout the game I thought I was at the end and for the first few I thought, “ehhh decent story but not that great.” Then the story kept going. What it ended up being is a masterpiece, better than the original. This game forces you to play as Abby, the one who killed our beloved Joel. When it first switched to her I didn’t want to play with her. Was I wrong. She’s now my favorite character in the series. She has so much depth to her. The entire game uses this to show us there are two sides to every conflict and who is evil is merely due to where you’re standing. Abby overcomes her hate in some respects but can’t let go of it in others. It’s the most true example of human nature I’ve ever seen in a video game. The two games together could be studied over a semester in the same way we studied classic literature in high school and college. I can’t say enough good about this game. Don’t listen to the people who hate it. This is truly and honestly the best game I’ve ever played. I loved it so much in fact I created an account just to review it (never reviewed a game before).

    No entiendo el odio que le tiran al juego, si bien es cierto que el primer momento importante narrativo no fue el mejor y pudo mejorar, no es consecuencia de que tenga tan baja puntuación, no se dejen guiar por la gente que mantiene una mente cerrada a que todo salga como seria obvio que saliera.
    Cada mecánica y momentos narran una historia realista con ese toque tan excelente

    Cada mecánica y momentos narran una historia realista con ese toque tan excelente cinematográfico, usaron el mundo de the last of us para mejorar cada y una parte de él técnica y gráficamente, y la historia no se queda nada atrás en ningún momento. Para mi, si bien el primer juego lo sigue superando, es por muy poco.
    No se dejen guiar de opiniones malas, pruébenlo ustedes mismos. Para mi es de los mejores juegos de la generación y merece ganar el juego del año.

    This game is a masterpiece in my opinion. I stayed away from all the spoilers and was better off for it. It's my view that most of the negative reviews I have seen are from people who didn't get their fanfiction realized in the story. You won't find better videogame craftsmanship than The Last of Us Part II

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alchile es un juego súper cabron y me di el tiempecito de terminarlo y sin duda volveré a pasármelo esta semana con más calma, mi puntuación a este game fue un 10/10 sin duda excepto lo de cortarle los dos deditos a ellie no estuvo chingon:( jajaja pero fue mordida por mordida xd

    Yo no quise dar mi reseña en Metacritic ni en ningún lado hasta terminarlo, tampoco vi spoilers ni el juego en otro lado para ir a dar mi crítica toda inútil sobre lo “políticamente correcta que era la historia del juego” JAJA ni tampoco de la sexualidad de distintos personajes

    Para empezar No hay enemigo en este juego, Abby no es villana y se darán cuenta en las 3 horas que la debes usar, solo es una sobreviviente más como lo era Joel y Ellie, llegó un momento en que llegue a encariñarme con Abby por todo lo que hizo, ella solo vengo a su papá y pues Ellie se vengaba de su compañero de vida, fue algo muy cruel ver a Ellie quedarse sola y ver a Abby derrotada y delgada xd, esta lleno de sentimientos y decisiones chingonas, sin duda es un juego que te llena de emociones y te hace entender que no siempre vas a terminar con un final feliz, espero sin duda que haya tercera parte para saber cómo estás dos avanzan y aquí les recalcaré algunas cosas que son mentira
    -Abby no es Trans solo hacía demasiado ejercicio y es una chica fuera de lo normal a lo que se supone que la sociedad dice como se debe ver una mujer, sin embargo su compañera Lev si es mujer y se siente hombre (nose como se les llama a la sexualidad estas personas)
    -El director si se integró en el juego pero jamás tuvo relaciones con ningún personaje y tampoco se puso como el más inteligente al contrario en el juego esta muerte xd, aunque así lo fuera no tiene nada de raro jajaj

    Es un buen juego pero muchos seguidores de él y grupos tanto amigos míos nos hemos percatado de que ya los milenials de hoy de esta época son muy llorones y no aguantan muchas cosas y todo les cala como la homofóbia, que tomen contenido gubernamental o cosas así, como el juego dio lo que se prometió pero sinceramente si no lo has jugado no des tú critica jaja, acepto que a muchos no les gusto pero la historia trata de sobrevivientes, es algo que muchos hubiéramos hecho si estuviéramos en el lugar de cualquiera de las dos, sin más que decir, juéguenlo, se lleva mínimo este año como un buen juego de supervivencia, excelente trabajo por Neil D. Y Naughty Dog ❤️

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not for someone wanting a feel good, light-hearted fairy tale. It is by far the most gritty, no-punches-pulled survival horror I have played to date. There is an incredibly ominous, dark undertone to the theme, which is underscored by the brutal combat between multi-dimensional, well developed characters. The body count of those characters that the audience has come to know and love only helps to solidify this game as an absolute gold standard in story telling.

    If you played the first game and you didn't think that Joel had a reckoning coming, you are severely naive. He was a most smart, dangerous, cunning protagonist. He and Ellie had more than a few close calls but every time got away because his purpose was to protect her. After slaughtering all the fireflies at St. Mary's, he tried to prevent his fate by coldly executing Marlene, but he didn't get away as clean as he had hoped.

    Now, in part II, that reckoning and all the pain, anguish and fear that comes with it are unleashed on the audience. If you are angry that Joel died, it is because you cared about him and he was ripped away. That doesn't make this a bad story, it makes it the best story that can be told. One that actually makes you feel angry or sad or helpless. Then puts a goddamn gun in your hand and lets you hunt down those responsible, at tremendous cost.

    If it is playing as Abby, the one who has the blood of Joel on her hands, that upsets you, then perhaps you are too short sighted to understand that she had every reason to beat him to death with an iron. He killed everyone she knew, including her father, and virtually damned the world to a fate where there will never be a solution to the cordyceps. Perhaps the most interesting perspective on this is to consider that would you have played as Abby first, and never known Joel, you would be on her side and despise him as the antagonist. Ultimately, Abby and Ellie are foils of eachother - Joel killed Abby's father and Abby killed Ellie's.

    I loved this game and it has truly been worth the wait. The gameplay was the most fun experience I've had on the sticks in a long time with the addition of prone mechanics, excellent dodging and crafting weapon attachments being most notable. The story was sad, gut-wrenching, horrifying, and bittersweet. Anyone who does not consider this game an absolute masterclass should take a step back and remember that the point of a good story is to feel something and the excellent storytellers at Naughty Dog didn't settle for a feel good crowd pleaser.

    With gameplay that is polished to perfection and a story that will make you laugh at one moment, then cover your face in horror at the next, I am confident this game will not be outdone for a very long time. Thanks Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was so intense, thrilling and a rollercoaster of emotions. The graphics, mechanics and the warfare was amazing. I can say 10/10 best game of 2020 so far. Nice job Naughty Dog, sorry for all the crybabies rating the game so bad.
    What I can grab from the story is revenge after revenge, a never ending cycle, Joels actions shaped the entire West Coast, making people split. What's so hard to understand?
    We see communites and people trying to rebuild the world, everyone cries about the story not being Apocalyptic, but if the game was only zombies they'd cry about that too.
    Most of these bad ratings are people who bandwagonned on the hate train or just hate the fact that ellie is gay and Abby is more masculine and fit than them.
    The ratings will only go up from here.

I found the story to be deeply powerful, and while it may look like the majority of people don't like it I guarantee you that they're just a very vocal minority. As I get older I've been finding it much harder to get really into a game, but this one had me right from the start. The visuals are incredible, the game play is engaging and intense, sounds design is best in class, and while some may find the story and its ending to be upsetting I found it to be very natural and realistic. I mean who actually thinks you can have a happy ending in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, especially after all the traumatic experiences these characters have gone through? Anything else would have felt forced and out of place. Go out and get this game!! Expand

I was so glad abby didn’t die in the end nor ellie cause if abby wouldve died the revenge cycle wouldve just continued..I have so many unanswered quesions!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Das Spiel ist ein echtes Meisterwerk ich hab mich gut in Ellie hineinversetzten können. Natürlich ist es tragisch und auch traurig das ausgerechnet Joel so früh sterben musste und dann auch noch so grausam, aber wäre ein anderer Charakter an seiner Stelle gewesen hätte es nicht so eine Auswirkung gehabt. Man fühlt mit jedem Schritt den man in der Story macht das Bedürfnis für Gerechtigkeit um Joels Tod zu Rächen. Als man dann Abbys Seite kennen lernt staute sich noch mehr Wut an, da man jetzt ausgerechnet mit der Mörderin von Joel spielen musste. Der Story Abschnitt mit ihr zog sich und ich war echt erleichtert als es zu Ende war. ich habe diese Erfahrung ich möchte da nicht mal Spiel zu sagen nun durch und hab so auch meine Meinung gebildet. Wie schon gesagt ich finde Naughty Dog hat dort ein Meisterwerk hingelegt es zeigt einem das Gewalt nur Gegengewalt erzeugt und das Rache auszuüben nichts bringt außer noch mehr leid. Deshalb fand ich auch das Ende sehr gut gelungen da endlich die Einsicht von beiden Charakteren kam. Das Speil spielt so sehr mit den Gefühlen ich hab geweint und gezittert vor Wut es war einfach grandios und ich würde mir gerne mehr davon wünschen. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually find it annoying that this game was bombed with negative reviews within hours of its release. As someone who has played the entire game I can confidently say that it is amazing, I do not believe it is better than the first one however it doesn't come too far off. The fact that people are giving the entire game 0 out of 10 reviews is a shame before even playing it because they're pressed about the death of Joel. Regardless I never thought of that to be a problem when it came to gameplay or visuals, people are saying the entire game is trash due to the fact that they're butthurt about one thing which truly is unfair to people who wanted to play the game as they get a misconstrued idea of what the game actually is. I had no problem with any of the gameplay, in fact I believe the gameplay aspect was better than the first. The biggest criticism of the game is the storyline, I agree it is worse than the first game but as a whole it really isn't even a quarter as bad as people make it out to be. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending sequence between Ellie and Abby, I understand peoples frustration how she didn't even end up getting killed because trust me, I was just as annoyed. However, people don't appreciate the cutscenes we got between Ellie and Joel which to me provided more meaning to their relationship and ended the game in almost a perfect manner. I didn't care who I controlled, as long as I got a good game and I certainly did. Though as the player we are tasked with the impossible challenge to feel sympathetic toward Abby, we at least are provided with an explanation to her motives and know what her revenge story is as the game isn't completely about Ellie, and the gameplay we are given whilst controlling Abby is some of the best in the game (such as the hotel and hospital sequences). If you are a salty 14 year old kid who can't deal with the fact that the main character isn't playable in this game, you need to grow up, Naughty Dog took a bold move and still made one of the best games to play without him. Its not like we saw nothing of Joel the whole way through, in fact the cutscenes we got were probably more meaningful than any gameplay we could have had with Joel, so I advise people to actually play the game - yes the story isn't as good but the game is incredible Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is a fantastic game, and one that I plan to play again. Having played The Last of Us only days before playing this, I can confidently say that TLOU2 has much better gameplay, both in terms of the crafting and combat experiences. The game felt unrelenting and stressful as well as capturing the atmosphere of being in an apocalypse very well. Progression of enemies from the first game was also very nice, with more enemies both in the living and undead. One unique boss fight in particular stood out to me as being particularly challenging and scary.
    The game ran well on my gen 1 PS4, with the optimization being better than with games like BFV or COD MW. As expected, the graphics of the game are beautiful, allowing for a fairly accurate representation of Seattle to be portrayed.

    Ellie and Joel:
    The story of this game is very different from the first installment in this series. While the first game was about Joel becoming a father figure to Ellie, the second takes a completely different direction. I went into the game without expectations for the story. I think it struck the correct cords with me when I was playing it. The twists were unexpected but necessary in my opinion. We already got a game about Joel, and this game is about Joel as well, but the memory and shadow of what he did in the last game. His death gave the story meaning. The character which kills him, a woman by the name of Abby, is one that you hate at first, but then come to appreciate and side with in the end.
    What people need to recognize is that what Joel did at the end of the first game was not the right thing to do. He ended the chance for a vaccine to save the human species, and he killed the people necessary to revive such an effort. His actions were selfish, all though understandable. His fate is one that isn't entirely undeserved.
    The ending of the game leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. There is no Hollywood ending, no happiness at the end, only pain and suffering, all brought upon Ellie by herself. She had it all, a loving wife, a kid, a farm, and she chose to give it up to chase a chance at revenge. She received closure, but at the cost of her entire life.
    Abby and the WLF:
    Abby's story and gameplay are markedly different than Ellie's. Her gameplay is much more combat-focused, with an emphasis on going balls to the wall gun-running and loud approaches. I think that this shift in gameplay helps with the pacing of her section because her story is lacking. Her motivations for a large part of the story are weak, and the side characters in her story are rather cookie cutter. However, that being said her story gives context to the greater Seattle story, and to the war that is brewing between the WLF and the Seraphites.
    The "Agenda"
    Apparently, many people seem to be under the impression that there is an agenda to TLOU 2. Ellie is gay, which we already knew thanks to Left Behind, and has a bisexual girlfriend who eventually becomes her wife. Her sexuality and love story is as in your face as any other, and really I could care less about it. Had it been a man she was with it would have been a similar story, albeit with some changes to character motivation.
    What I'm surprised people aren't talking about is the side character Lev in Abby's portion of the story. In-game, you learn that the former Seraphite was a young girl who changed their name and shaved their head. Seraphite enemies call the child Lily or "the apostate", and regard them as an enemy of the cult. This really didn't get in the way too much, however, it was a plot point and motivator for Lev's side of the story. That being said, it didn't really bother me or get in the way of the story at all.

    The story, while strong for a video game such as this, was definitely a 9/10 for me, and didn't come close to the 10/10 that TLOU 1 was for me. The different vibe and emotions felt were a good change of pace from the last and offered a different experience from TLOU1. I give this game a 9/10. Unrelenting and tough, this game is an experience that I would recommend.

This game is amazing, don’t listen to the hate. Unfortunately if you’ve seen the leaks and formed an opinion already, you will be too far gone. I loved this game. The gameplay is bigger, longer and uncut compared to the first game. The environments are huge- a lot more to explore, read all the journal entries and notes left in this beautifully detailed world to better understand characters motivations and story arcs. If you’ve played the first game there’s not much difference gameplay wise, just bigger environments and new enemy types. The environments do change the combat and stealth as there are so many more areas to hide and climb higher to get the advantage on these large groups. The sound is phenomenal, my house rattled from the intense scenes to the eerie clicks of the infected. Voice acting is second to none with naughty dogs motion capture enhancing every scene.

    Story is unforgivingly savage in its decisions- whilst it can make you angry, you are supposed to feel that way. The only problem I have is the pacing between story and gameplay compared to the first game. There was enough gameplay between the story cut scenes in the first game to keep you completely invested the whole way through. Whilst I was invested in part 2, the areas are much larger now with enemies spread throughout which can really slow the motivation before the next story segment. Not to say there isn’t anything interesting in these long areas- the characters are constantly talking to each other and giving backstory as you explore. As much as the pacing was a slug sometimes- I still loved it, as there was so much to do and see that I was impressed in how much effort and love was put in this game. If you’ve managed to stay away from the spoilers and you’re trying to form an opinion on this game. Buy it and try it for yourself, you will find this game is amazing if you soak it in and take your time playing every inch of it. If you’ve seen the spoilers and jumped on the butthurt wagon....you’ve missed out on an amazing game and you have no one to blame but yourself.

    Though the pacing was off I still enjoyed every second of it- it’s just not as tight as the first game. Definitely worth every penny and I applaud naughty dog for taking risks where most Game companies play it safe. I feel for everyone involved in making this game that have had people bomb the reviews over story choices.

    First ever review to defend this awesome game.

It's a refreshing title between dozens of AAA games that are always the same where they play it safe with the same generic characters and plot over and over, here they took bold and unpopular decisions, that made me feel conflicted, but in the end, I understood why they did it and I'm glad they did it this way because all the choices of the characters make them human and realistic. It's an unfair and cruel story, but we're playing in a post-apocalyptic world, so if it was done in a different way it wouldn't be as good as it is now. I'll be playing many more times for sure.

This game pushes boundaries and tells a revenge tale we have never seen done this way before. There are two sides to every story. We experienced Joel's in part one and we understand and relate to this character, but have we forgotten that actions have consequences? Bad things happen to good people. This game makes you question what is moral and what is immoral, and it is done in such a brilliant way. Revenge is always bitter, always cold.. since when is it satisfying? The pain that sets you on a journey of bloody revenge, still remains even after the smoke clears. What a brilliant game! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an absolute masterpiece. The complex feelings that it has caused the players to feel is amazing. Feeling fear and disgust perhaps even?? From a character you have known for so long. Creating complex ideas of right or wrong. That’s what the first game did so to expect anything less than that for part 2 would be a mistake. The game makes you feel so worried about the safety of the beloved Ellie as she goes on a reckless journey for revenge. And to those who hate on the ending, I’m sorry you lack any form of empathy. Abby is a complex character that has been seeking revenge for 4 years and gets it. While Ellie is blinded by the fresh wound of Joel’s murder. To say that Ellie should have killed Abby in the end is a misunderstanding and disregard to what the story is telling you. There are plenty of flashbacks that set up the fact that Ellie is not necessarily wanting revenge but closure for the relationship her and Joel ACTUALLY had. It is a somber end but it leaves it open to interpretation. To me it shows an Ellie who has found closure both with Abby but more importantly with Joel. This is a masterpiece of story, gameplay, and environment. I’m not sure how any game will top this. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest theme in TLOUII isn’t revenge. It’s not hatred. It’s not loss, or grief, or anger, or any of things it looks to be at first glance. These things still obviously play a huge part in the story; they contribute to the characters’ actions and decisions, and they’re the things that drive the narrative. But they’re not the most important themes for the player.

    The most important theme in this game, that I have seen no other game explore in this detail, is perspective. And players who are open-minded and don’t allow themselves to be blinded by their own outlook, will appreciate the game for what it is.

    Without perspective, the game is over 2 hours in. You know from the point of Joel’s death where the rest of the story is going, and you know how it ends. You’ll guide Ellie through her revenge mission, and you’ll make Abby pay. Because it’s a video game and that’s how video games work. But TLOUII isn’t any other video game.

    You’re proven wrong, time and time again, thinking you’re reaching the end, only to first be given the unexpected second half of the game to play, and then another additional 2 hours on top of that the second time it appears to be coming to a close.

    That middle point, where the perspective changes and we start to see things through Abby’s eyes, is uncomfortable. As a player, it was easy to recognise Naughty Dog’s intentions to paint the “villain” in a different light. The goal was to have us eventually empathise with a character who, not 2 hours into the game, had killed a protagonist that we’ve known and loved for seven years. And as a player, I was sceptical it was going to work.

    As I did indeed grow to care for Abby, I felt a conflict within myself as I wrestled with what it meant. What did it mean that I was starting to like a character who had done such a horrific thing? It meant that Naughty Dog had accomplished what I can assume was what they intended to do: force me, as a player, to recognise how important perspective is and understand things from both sides.

    Was Abby killing Joel any more horrific that Joel killing Jerry? And not to mention, Jerry was killed in the process of Joel committing arguably the most horrific action of The Last Of Us’ story: depriving humanity of a cure. And I like Joel just fine.

    To Abby, Joel was the “bad guy” and her reasoning for believing so is the exact same reasoning that Ellie’s perspective brands Abby the “bad guy”. Neither character is “right” while the other is “wrong” and Naughty Dog did an absolutely phenomenal job of blurring that line, leading to my use of quotation marks; who’s “good” and who’s “bad” all depends on perspective.

    It was a risky move to place the player in control of someone they’re conditioned to hate from the near outset, and to expect them to come to understand her reasoning and empathise with her, and I can assume that this is the main reason a lot of players have found issue in the game, because for them it didn’t work. But for me personally, it was a powerful experience and I knew that the conflict I felt within myself as Abby grew to become my favourite character in the whole game, was intentional on Naughty Dog’s end.

    As far as the ending goes, I’ve seen a lot of people claim that the whole game was “for nothing”, but I think that these are the players who refused to budge on their own perspectives. They’d branded Abby the “villain” from the start and so she was supposed to die. They didn’t get their closure. But Ellie did. Abby did.

    That last flashback we get that covers Ellie and Joel’s last conversation is what prompts Ellie to let Abby go. Joel tells her that given the chance to deny humanity a cure again, he’d make the same choice. Ellie remarks that in her sacrifice, her life would’ve had meaning, and that she can’t ever forgive Joel for taking that from her. But that she’d like to try. This opportunity, to grow and find it within herself to forgive Joel, was taken from her when Abby took his life. But if Ellie wants to find it in herself to forgive Joel for doing arguably the worst thing a human being could’ve possibly done, maybe she can find it in herself to forgive the woman who killed him.

    In Ellie’s eyes, Joel’s death is given meaning in her decision to be better than him. Joel may make the same decision over and over given the chance, depriving Ellie the opportunity to have her life harbour meaning, but Ellie won’t. She has one chance, and she won’t make the same choice he did. She won’t remove the meaning from Joel’s death, the way Joel removed the meaning from her life.

    The whole sequence, the fight, the flashback, and Ellie’s decision to let Abby go was another phenomenal choice that Naughty Dog made in subverting expectations. We’ve all played video games before and we know how they go. but, like I said, TLOUII isn’t any other video game.
