    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game in all its aspects - responsive and very fluid gameplay evolved from the first game, fresh story that's not only about survival or violence or revenge but also a tale of love, the path to extreme darkness and back to the light. It's about perspective on things - even the most righteous things that matter to you can be the very definition of `wrong` to another person. This game has torn me inside out - creative and unexpected writing just gets you emotional.

    Graphics are top-notch, nothing even compares to this by the level of detail, lighting, animation today. TLOU2 gives you one of the best NaughtyDog's set-pieces ever- skywalk episode, seraphites' island escape, Ratking fight at the hospital (so scary), and many more.

    Nuanced score by Gustavo Santaolalla, emotional covers of Pearl Jam and a-ha songs by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker create the perfect atmosphere. Not to mention their Oscar-worthy performances - all their mutual scenes and chemistry gives me chills every time I watch them.

    Naughty Dog totally topped all previous games with TLOU2. Best PS exclusive of this generation, the game of the year 2020 so far.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having played The Last of Us to the end and now having played the sequel, I can say that The Last of Us 2 is an absolute masterpiece. I'm fully aware of the amount of people who would disagree tremendously so I'll try my best to explain why I believe it to be far superior to these negative remarks by so many. We are all supposed to love Joel. We are supposed to love Ellie. We are supposed to hate Abby. But as the story unfolds, we get early shocking moments. Joel's death left a bad taste in most peoples mouth. One that would ultimately determine the outcry of such hatred from so many beloved fans.
    What Naughty Dog and the team did here was utter brilliance. They told the story the way THEY wanted. Not the way most wanted. But telling your story, no matter the consequences, is something that so many other games, movies, etc. dont do. For fear of backlash like this. Imagine yourself in each person's shoes here. How would we react in this situation? What path would we take?
    Let me just say...I enjoy Joel's character. I enjoy Ellies character. I originally hated Abbys character. That all changed as I got closer to the end. Watching revenge unfold, passion evolve, relationships questioned, I began to see the story in a different light. It was the perfect way to write this vision. Ellie doesn't need Joel to protect her. She has developed into a strong lead more than capable of pursuing her path alone. Her vengeful mission is understandable. Just as Abbys path is equally understandable. All characters involved are filled with greed, selfishness and a sheer lack of consequence. By the end of this game, I learned to not only love and hate each character at times, but to also understand their drive. To understand that if this were a real life event, I too would probably make the same choices. I think what this team did was genius. They took a risk. They reached a point where it didnt matter if it lived up to the original. They had a story to tell and they were gonna tell it. It doesn't matter if it's what the fans ultimately wanted. Why must everyone be so entitled? Why must they cater to everyone? How boring would it be if every game, movie, book, etc. tried to cater to others visions?! As a storyteller, you reach a point when you say "screw it" and tell the story the way it was imagined regardless of the overall opinion. Sure...they might not make a third. But that's ok. With Joel's tragic death, Ellies lustful urge for revenge and Abbys battle to find her place while also seeking revenge, we are left with an ending that was not only tearful and heartbreaking...but also very beautiful. My hat is off to the team for taking this risk and giving us yet again, another brilliant rollercoaster of emotions as we lived through this world they created.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the last couple of days now I have been reading through hundreds and hundreds of mind numbing and brainless comments from people who couldn't see the point if it stabbed them.. The Last Of Us Part 2 has been getting absolutely torn apart by players saying anything from "it is horrible and lazy storytelling" to "Naughty Dog have completely destroyed the games franchise and betrayed fans.. Just because Joel dies?..

    Well at least, I've seen proof of dozens and dozens of people that got to that scene and stopped playing due to hysterical emotion only to start blindly slandering it in every way..

    Yes, it is quite a gut wrenching scene for a video game and I don't mean graphically, (although it's up there for that reason too)
    I mean because of the connection with Joel from the first game being so strong that it literally wrenches your stomach.. But for a lot of people who don't think that Joel dying outright ruined it, it's about the way he dies being so unmagnanimous in nature that it doesn't, or just can't make any sense to them..

    This is incredibly narrow minded, and if your argument is that he didn't deserve it, then you need to take a few marshmallows out from in front of your eyes and witness reality, he didn't deserve it, but things that aren't good happen..

    The voice of Joel himself, Troy Baker said something like this, and I'm paraphrasing quite freely but the point remains the same.. He said; People need to allow themselves to enjoy Joel and Ellie' stories and not the story they want..

    Which I think is perfect for summing up the exact opposite of how almost everyone has reacted to this game, just get upset at how it didn't go the way they think it should have and say its a piece of garbage regardless of anything else or the fact that it's brilliant.. "IMO"

    Okay so Joel gets his head bashed in with a golf club, and it's by this **** named Abby that, for a fairly long time playing, no one knows who is but it's clear she has some kind of problem with Joel, and that's the main reason for all the hate.. Clearly this gets explained as the game goes on, however..

    People are saying, mostly, that he shouldn't have been in such a stupid position as getting surrounded by strangers and then giving his name, which prompts Abby to blow his knee out with a shotgun before going to town..

    But at that point, it had been 25 years since the outbreak began and his daughter was killed, 4 years since "saving" Ellie, and two years since he had to tell Ellie the truth about other people with immunity being a lie and what had really happened that night at the hospital..

    That being said at the beginning of Part 2 Joel is very obviously a different man, he is weaker, because he is older, has been through so much and also due to the fact that he and Ellie had grown apart over Joel's decision 4 years ago, and she now resents him for what he did...

    On top of all that, it is perfectly understandable, and humanly acceptable that Joel and Tommy had grown a little careless or more trusting of strangers in need of help after living in Jackson comparatively comfortably to the previous 20 years of the outbreak...

    Meaning they simply let their guard down, especially forgivable seeing as they were in the middle of a worsening snow storm that would have killed them all, so they acted quickly and on what was now, weakened instinct..

    Playing as Abby is copping ridiculous hate as well, I think it's amazing storytelling the way it goes in and out of time periods and shows exactly what was happening with Abby at the time of Joel "saving" Ellie as well as the events of Seattle days 1-3, and it all reveals crucial information which, in case anybody didn't notice, is all explanation as to why this games story goes the way it does.. In conclusion, the game is not hindered by poor or lazy writing, that's why it has the professional critic score that it has, because it's amazingly good.. Retrospectively that is also why THEY are the critics and everyone else just posts their dumbass opinions on the internet without a shred of insight to them..

    What this game is hindered by, is a shockingly large lack of people able to make use of critical thinking and enjoy something for what it is rather than whinge because its not what they wanted.. Spoiled Little Gamer Syndrome.. Peace..    … Expand

    Определенно не то, что вы ждете после первой части. Определенно не то, что я ждал после первой части.
    Удивительно выставлять 10 из 10 игре, в которой я так много негативных эмоций получил. Но, на самом деле, это оправданно.

    Тем, кто боится темы ЛГБТ: здесь она почти не затрагивается, а в те редкие моменты, когда затрагивается, все очень мило, что дает вам лучик света в мрачном мире игры.

    Геймплей хорош, Naughty Dog явно прыгнули выше своей головы, но, учтите, играть надо на двух последних уровнях сложности, чтоб ощутить все его прелести.

    Графическая составляющая как памятник ps4. Да, не без даунгрейда относительно геймплейных трейлеров с е3, но все еще потрясающе.

    Проработка мелочей, как графических, так и сюжетных, на высоком уровне.

    Актеры бесподобны, озвучка бесподобна (на языке оригинала естественно - sony russia, хватит кормить нас дерьмом).

    Сюжет. Краеугольный камень этой игры. Вам не понравится. Но в конце, если у вас есть голова и умение анализировать, если вы прочли хотя бы несколько серьезных произведений в своей жизни, вы смиритесь с ним и поймете его. Восприятие сравнимо с чтением Достоевского - сложно, со скрипом и с постоянным вопросом внутри головы "А должен ли я сопереживать персонажу?". Именно из за этого вам не понравится, ведь вы, очевидно, как и я, привязаны к Джоэлу и Элли еще со времен первой части. Поэтому вторая половина игры ой как не легко вам дастся. И, да, из за багажа первой части вторая половина игры будет казаться сухой. Уверен, Naughty Dog могли бы лучше прописать вторую половину, но тогда бы повествование растянулось еще часов на 10, что было бы перебором для игры не укладывающейся в понятие открытого мира.

    И все же, оно того стоило.

    Закончить хотелось бы цитатой из игры:
    Naughty Dog, I don't think i can ever forgive you for that. But i would like to try.    … Expand

This game took me on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster that even after completing it almost a week ago is still sticking in my head and is haunting me. If you looked at videos into this game before buying it you'll only have yourself to blame for not wanting to play it and hating it as you will never have the chance to experience it from your own point of view. If you bought it and decided to stop playing it because of what happens in the story that's your choice. But I had to keep playing it to find out the truth of what happened and why it happend and I loved every minute of it as I didn't know what was going to happen next. I know the story is very dark and violent but I love those types of stories as you never know what is going to happen, where it will take you and how it will affect you. I would highly recommend this game as it has a great and unexpected story to it that will stick with you long after you've played it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you come into this game with the right mindset, it might shake you to your core. This game has a perfectly told story that should make you think. The parallels that are drawn between Abby and Ellie, and their core group of friends have been carefully written. These girls draw from the same moral compass, but they've been on opposite sides of a situation that puts them in a mortal struggle against one another.

    Sure, Abby kills Joel, who is a fan favorite. You are forced to understand this game is not called "Ellie and Joel's adventures part 2"...its "the last of us" (the last of humanity)

    I agree with many on the web that there are many "agenda topics that are shoved in our faces," again, this world is supposed to parallel real life, with the trauma of child abuse, lack of decent males to choose from, it's safe to say that it isn't a stretch of the imagination Ellie would definitely be a lesbian.

    This story tangles with topics of broken trust, forgiveness, revenge, cult-like beliefs and behavior, acceptance of other people's actions and their right to fight for their own beliefs, the realization that those in your community may not give two **** about you, and the need to think for yourself.

    I'm rambling. No ellie does not get her revenge, she accepts that Abby was doing what she had to do after her father was killed, we find out near the end that ellie wished she had been used to find a cure, she could have "had meaning" she had to forgive Joel for taking that away, just as she must forgive Abby for taking Joel away.
    This game draws parallels to modern society, where everyone "draws lines in the sand" over everything and the hate and rage that is freely shown to anyone that doesn't align with you, this game should hopefully make us all think about how we treat others. On the flip side of that coin, this game is JOYOUSLY BRUTAL. No matter which character you play as, you become a murderous PSYCO who's bloodlust can never be satisfied, I went from area to area gleefully and brutally killing every one and every thing. I found myself using leg shots and arm shots to maim my human rivals, rather than insta kill head shots. I smiled as they screamed in aggony and their comrades freaked out just before I cut them down in brutal animation after brutal animation. I loved the adrenaline dumps as I got the crap scared out of me by the infected time and time again,and the dread of knowing that they COULD BE ANYWHERE. I LAUGHED AND SMILED every time I died, because it was all gleefully gory. The art work here is beautiful, the world feels real, the progression of the infected areas are horrific. this game is an absolute must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's sad to see all the negative review's, I don't know if it's because of lesbians on a revenge or that gamers have been looking at the spoilers from a hacker, I've ignored all that news so I can play it all on my own, and now that it's out for a week I can say this indeed, the brutality, the tense moments, the story, and the characters (rather they've died or are still alive). The entire game is a beautiful sequel non the less, having played both of the games including the dlc from the 1st game I can get why some of the fans are mad. but, that all said and done this is in my part the most gorgeous, tense, and brutal game I've ever played in my live, the gameplay and controls is directly noticeable from the start with a couple of xtra new tricks like dodgin and counter attack, new and dangerous enemies that amplified the scare score quite a bit, some characters you hate at the beginning and probably still do at the end, but the look and sights of the world and everything around it is beautiful to look at, the combat is slick and the movement sometimes a bit stiff but overall perfect to play, I admit that sometimes I got a bug or a glitch, but I don't mind It cause it was at a moment when you were either dead or you were walking around and some of the enemies were buggin a bit, overall I highly recommend this game to those who want to play it on the ps4 (pro)… Expand

Some homophobic / transphobic etc and some who didn’t like that it didn’t have a happy ending where Joel survived. The raw emotion I felt, how uncomfortable I felt for some of the intense fight scenes (namely - Abby / Ellie at the very end ) was incredibly moving. I can’t remember the last time a game made me feel that way. Ellie broke the cycle of revenge, and I personally don’t think I can like Abby as she never felt any regret for any of her actions. Anyway, can’t wait to play again 10/10 the scenery, the extra details, everything about it was beautiful !! I’ve encouraged lots of my friends to go out and buy it! Good job ND!… Expand

If you enjoyed the first game because of the story, characters and relationships, this game is not for you. Due to some questionable story-line choices, the game feels like a slog to get through and tries to force its players into a middle school ethics class rather than engross us in an enthralling story. The graphics are some of the best this generation, but the game-play rarely features anything innovative and feels like more of the same as the first game. Overall, averaging everything out I would give this game a 5/10 and similar to Game of Thrones season 8 and Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker, this is one sequel that will sorely disappoint even its most loyal fans.… Expand

    На эмоции пробрало по полной программе.
    Да, игра крайне депрессивная, особенно в связке с первой частью. Это первая игра когда я сам себя ненавидел , сжимал зубы и выкручивал себе пальцы за то, что приходилось нажимать на кнопки (тот кто играл поймет про что я говорю), ну а после титров долго сидел и смотрел на лодку на берегу.
    Вся игра подводит нас к финальной сцене когда Элли в последний раз говорит с Джоэлом.
    Разговор с трудом дается и ей и ему. И в процессе разговора, не смотря на свою обиду и злость, Элли осознает, что Джоэл искренне любит ее не смотря ни на что, и что он не сожалеет о совершенном когда-то в прошлом поступке и готов повторить его снова.
    Играет перебор из композиции "Unbroken". Элли прощается с Джоэлом.
    Джоэл отвечает ей, но не поворачивает головы в ее сторону не потому что он обижен на Элли , а потому что у него слезы благодарности в глазах и он по мужски некомфортно чувствует себя и не хочет чтобы Элли увидела их.
    "The last of us" это игра о всеослепляющей мести, но эта история об умении прощать. Прощать близких нам людей, прощать врагов, прощать самих себя.

    After replaying the first game only days before playing part two the jump in quality was incredible. Every aspect of the game is a major improvement over the first. The gameplay is much more fun now the ability to go full on prone has made such a big difference especially for those that like to go as stealth as possible. Shoot-outs are the best and most action packed I have experienced in a third person game some of them are so good they look choreographed.

    Graphics and sound top-notch not getting any better from this generation of consoles. Let them do all the talking for themselves.

    Naughty Dog have gone above and beyond with the details in this game. They have added things that are not necessarily needed but the fact they put the effort into adding them just you have got to give them massive respect for that. The little guitar simulator thing they do with Ellie is such a cool touch to the game. Check out covers people are making on YouTube using it, amazing.

    The story has divided many people but I personally thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I would say it takes a lot for me to get invested in a story whether is being TV or films. But the way this story is told by naughty dog really gripped me and I binged through the game over five days with an ending playtime of 35hours. I normally begrudge paying £55 for any video game but for 35hours plus all the effort and hard work that they must have put into this game I feel that is money well spent.

    I'm probably going to end up playing it again and maybe make it my first PS4 platinum trophy.

    I went into this game without seeing any reviews and after playing it and seeing the low reviews scores I'm wondering have I missed something. Maybe I'm just too dumb to see how crap this game.

    But this is the best game I've played this gen or probably ever. I'm hoping for some story DLC or even a PS5 version even if that means paying again.    … Expand

Ppl complain that he said his name to Abby. But he is more relaxed now, living in Jackson for 4 years and having a 2nd chance to be a father. Glad he is not the exact same grieving, hurt and distrustful character he was in the first game. Abby changes a lot during the story, eventually trying to redeem herself (including for killing Joel), turning her back on the WLF to help the runaway scars. Ellie's character changes too, as we see her descend into darkness. The ending is amazing. Ppl complain that you had to kill all sorts of people just to get to the end and you don't kill Abby. Well, all those others were hunting you down, were part of a vicious military group or part of a cruel cult. They knew the risks. In fact, that is what makes the ending so powerful, that Ellie is finally able to let it go. Those same ppl complain there is no character development. What greater character development can there be than to have Ellie forgive Abby? This game is about forgiveness as much as it is revenge. Every scene in the game casts a mood over the player. Every action scene is like a really fun puzzle, at least on survivor mode. So re-playable. My fav game ever.… Expand

    The game has unexpected moments which will make you hate characters later to sympathize with them, as well as love characters later to doubt their integrity.

A lot is said between the lines it doesn't hold your hand, emotions and choices that aren't explained and would make the game worse if they were explained. I think this game isn't for everyone, you don't have control over what the characters will do/choose just like in the first game so all you can do is strap in, hope and not expect, which makes it all the more exciting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us shook me to my core. I set out angry and in pain for Ellie. Joel was brutally murdered and we needed justice. I buckled in because Ellie and I had a long road ahead of us. When game started coming to a head I was disappointed. Was this really the end? Was Ellie destined to set of for Jackson? Were we unable to obtain justice for Joel’s death? Was all of the violence she caused and pain she went through for naught? Naughty Dog said sike, this is just the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with it. Abby is the villain! She was evil, why did I have to play as her? I would force her to look over heights just to get a giggle (I’m afraid of heights myself so I started to feel bad). That hatred turned into compassion, and then understanding. Naughty Dog had me shouting a character’s name joyfully, angrily, and calling it out in pained sadness. By Santa Barbara I was hoping the two women who had lost everything because of vengeance could find common ground and end the cycle of pain. I myself was emotionally exhausted. On the beach I was pleading, crying, screaming for Ellie to stop. Every press of square took something from me. As the rest of the cinematics played out I reflected on their stories. I reflected on myself. This game challenges you, forces you to take part and push through. It makes you question yourself and your motives. Every single person that starts this game needs to finish it. You go from an active participant to an unwilling accomplice, at least I did. The Last Of Us 2 just revolutionized the game industry. I didn’t even begin to touch on all of the wonderful details, nuances, and incorporations in this game. It changed me, and quickly became my favorite game.

I went into TLOS:II with the previous game being my favorite of all time but this one (Part II) left me a wreck and one of the most moving gaming experience of my life. Everything from the gameplay, to environment design, to acting and story are truly the best in the business, a masterclass for Naughty Dog again.

    It's such a shame so many are criticizing this in such bad bad faith. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T "AGREE" WITH STORY CHOICES DOES NOT MAKE BAD WRITING. It's so clear since the release that the leaks (and the month afterwards) festered fans groupthink and confirmation bias into bombing a labor of love for thousands of people. No amount of context could ever change their opinion, which is such a shame.

    Play this game. It's my favorite one of all time.    … Expand

I’m not someone who just blindly stans franchises he likes...Star Wars dropped the ball with the sequel trilogy and game of thrones season 8 was trash...but seeing this game compared to those is absurd. ABSURD. Anyone who gives this game a chance will see that it’s something special. I personally had no problem with the story, still deciding how I feel about the ending, but I know for sure that it was an amazing journey.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It really is a shame that the leaks occured and prevented so many people from enjoying this game spoiler free. Or just flat-out refusing to give it a chance. The metacritic review bombing is childish, and so boringly predictable with it. It says more about outrage culture than anything else, and the lack of nuance allowed in mainstream entertainment.

    We're not 'owed' anything, in terms of story. So what Naughty Dog have done here, on the back of a very simple story in Part 1, is tell a story they wanted to tell. Not only that, but they have done it more intelligently. Both parts share the fact that they are essentially character-driven narratives, which is always the best basis for a successful story. When I saw in the leaks that you ended up playing as Joel's murderer, my first instinct was how bold a choice that was. While others were upset, I was more intrigued by the fact that they had made this choice in the first place, and that it wouldn't be a rote action sequel. ND were going to try something different, and I applauded that, while also being intrigued about whether they could pull it off, because if not, then yes, it really would fall flat.

    So, you play as Joel's murderer and the challenge ND set themselves was to turn around the player's viewpoint so far that you might begin to empathise or even like this new Abby character. BOLD. Know what may have been bolder? Player choice at the end, and an in-built prompt that told ND the result. Did the player choose to kill Abby, or let her go? The results would've been interesting, and may even have validated their story choice to an extent.

    But this isn't the player's journey. So having that option taken out of your hands, much like at the end of part 1, just emphasises that point. These aren't your characters. They're not mine. We're watching what they do. Good entertainment often makes us squirm, or uncomfortable - not enough games do that, so to have one that does, and may even make you want to turn off, is a brave developer choice. People can be mad about it; see the leaks and boycott it, but this boldness is something missing from what has become more and more an adult medium. More adults play games than children, so to have a mainstream game that challenges in terms of story, and not just violence, gore, gameplay and puzzles, is welcome.

    Do they pull it off? In the final standoff, would I have let Abby go or kill her? I would've let her go. Without experiencing Abby's arc, would I have let her go? Well, that's an interesting thought too. By the end, Ellie is shattered; both of you have slaughtered hundreds to get there, and gone through emotional turmoil - Ellie's character design at the end is shocking, as she's verging on anorexic. You can see the impact of all that hate and anger. So yeah, maybe seeing that Abby is looking after Lev (which adds to the guilt), and Ellie's own struggle at the time, might've been enough to let Abby go, even without experiencing her arc.

    As an aside, while mentioning character design, I think it has to be hats off to the dev team for Abby's design. The braid and muscle, two simple things, combine to make an immediately exceptional design. You only need to find the spoiler memes across the net to see how it captures something unique. Hats off too to not overplaying the muscles - a lot of Abby's character is inferred, and there's something human about a little girl burning her anger with muscle-building so that when the time comes for revenge, she is more than ready for it. The fact she is NOT trans, or gay, but just a muscled woman, also serves to expose the ludricrousness of the review bombs that talk about pushing some form of agenda.

    The only agenda, when it comes to the main characters, is diversity. Outside of the bubble of Joel's murder, Abby would've been (and was anyway) a kick-ass character to play. Women can be muscley too. And gays exist. It doesn't need saying, but for some people, it does. Creating a game with a diversity of main characters, especially one so in the public eye, is overwhelming inclusive. It helps normalise diversity. The more this is done, the better.

    Though the harder the push-back (see: the review-bombs).

    Is the story perfect? No. It falls foul of its own realism. In many games you wouldn't think too hard about characters coming and going, but here, after you've struggled through infected and armies, and just struggled to even find a path at times, it felt incongruous to have characters suddenly find you. That anyone wants to live in, let alone fight over, Seattle, is also unrealistic. However, everything mentioned, combined with beautiful environments and exciting, accessible, varied, FUN gameplay, make this game 10/10.    … Expand

    It's rare that I feel strongly enough to leave a review but I genuinely feel that all the comments thus far have been unfair jabs at the progressive nature of the game without regard for the game itself. Absolutely stunning, top of the line graphics paired with an emotional story fueled by revenge makes this a frontrunner for what videogames should be in 2020.

    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]
