    As inevitable as it is, creating expectations and feelings toward things that we like and anticipate will (mostly) always be a part of the experience.

As a fan of the franchise, I'm destroyed by the gruesome, hard, heartbreaking, true to itself storytelling. Every single chapter of the game was a necessary and pleaseable (in some weird way sometimes, got be honest). The mechanics, the script, the delivery of every single line was on point, and when I say on point I mean pure perfect understanding the possibilities and the story beeing told . Saying that, makes me completely saddened to see the mostly irrational backlash that the game and the creators are receiving, I believe a lot of that comes from a place of prejudice (like homophobia), and because of that I am truly grateful for the creators for beeing bold enough to do a realistic and inclusive and necessary game. As a female gamer, makes me enormously satisfied to see true representations of female characters and bodies, to see true wlw relationships beeing portrayed. So, for all of that and a lot that is not being told here, thank you. I wish I could express everything that I felt while playing it: the pain, the laugh, the tears, the fear, the love and another countless feelings that made me realised that this franchised has become one of my favorites of all time and this game occupying a special place in my heart.

    A total masterpiece. I laughed, gasped, screamed and cried. Fantastic layered story that will repeatedly leave you shocked and guessing until the end (provided you haven’t had the game ruined for you by people trying to spoil it for others). Could not recommend this game more. Went into new game+ as soon as I finished it and the story has stuck in my mind ever since completion.

    It's unfortunate to read so many reviews with a rating below 5 where it appears the objective of the narrative and story crafted by the writers is lost on the reviewer.

This story wants you to hate Abby. You are meant to feel the way you feel when you play as her. The entire experience playing as Ellie and then Abby is meant to teach you that revenge and payback are, at the end of the day, not going to solve anything. If this sequel was just a simple revenge story of Ellie killing someone who took something from her, the reviews would be on average a lot higher, but the story would be a lot shallower. I would encourage anyone who has had a negative experience to come back to this game after they've had a break and replay the story, this time without the weight of expectation. Understanding the point of the game is the key to enjoying it (much like any movie that requires a 2nd viewing to fully 'get it)'. My only criticism of the game is that the sequel fails to bring much in the way of new gameplay mechanics eg. still using bottles and bricks for sound diversion, moving dumpsters etc. I think as a new character(s) it would have been welcomed to have some new skills.

    Instigante, polêmico e visceral. The Last of Us Part 2 toma decisões corajosas em sua narrativa (se certas ou não o tempo dirá) e apresenta uma trama dura e violenta, como o mundo pós-apocalíptico é.

Не понимаю эти тупые негативные отзывы, это постоянное нытьё : «онию убюлии Джойла, эта мускулистая, лисбияньки, разработчики не любят азиааатов, хреновый сюжет и т.п.» детский сад! Я переживал за всех героев, все было сделано гениально. Сюжет не пресный, выдержан достойно, диалоги может где-то затянуты, но терпимо. Игра показывает, как может случается по настоящему в нашей жизни, когда ничего изменить уже нельзя. Посыл к мыслям человека хорош и предельно понятен. Сам процесс игры и взаимодействие выстроены просто изумительно. Однозначно - это шедевр! Мне очень жаль, что комьюнити реально деградировало всякими ассасинами, колдой, батлой и т.п. , и ждали от этой части солнышка и печенек. Жаль людей которые так и не захотели посмотреть в лицо предложенного Дракманом сюжет, так же как и главные герои игры совершив ошибки , идя на поводу у своих страстей. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would give it the game a 9,5/10; but I can't so it's a 10/10. This 0,5 that I missed is a 0,5 that reflects a whole game that doesn't exist, but it should. TLOU II is actually an excellent TLOU III.

    But nonetheless I have no words to describe TLOU II, it's a masterpiece, graphics, gameplay, story, everything is so far from the games we have, only GoW comes close to what TLOU II is, we are on the limit of this generation, we'll maybe find a better game only in the next gen, maybe. This game made me feel nausea from Joel's death until the end, the only thing I felt after I finished was pure joy and relief. It's sad people aren't ready for games like this, this is an experience, not only a game, probably they weren't frustrated when they were children, saying it's just "SJW" game or pure ideology means you know nothing about anything, neither ideology nor society, everything is political, LGBT+ people exist, and they can be protagonists, they don't fit only in the stereotype. Double check your prejudice and your pride, learn about 21st Century society.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fair warning, I wanted to hate this game, I didn't think it should have existed as the end of the first was perfect and poignant, however after experiencing this game without being spoiled, without knowing what would come next, I feel this game justified its existence, added to the weight of the ending of the first but showing that Joel's decision affected more than just him and Ellie. The game is a rollercoaster of emotions, that sets the player off on a path of hatred, this continued for me until about an hour into Abbys part. The craftsmanship of the writers allowed me to understand Abby through this section, though I still hated her for what she did to Joel. I i think the ending also made sense as if I was EllieIi I would want closure and for the nightmares yo stop, I think seeing Abby in the state she was in though gave the feeling that she suffered enough for what she did and killing her would not have solved Ellies issues but being able to finally move on with closure did help her move past Abby. Not only did this game live up to the first, I feel it surpassed it as well. Expand

But the destiny of some chracters maybe not good for every but it is what happend in a fully vengeans way and its what the writer want .

    The only problem with this game is the long cinematic videos. The story is a story full of emotions and it’s intense. In my opinion, this story helps to understand how to be a good person in moments of crisis, to know that vengeance, selfishness and carrying hate is a bad thing.

Story gave us the closure we needed from the first, and kept myself hooked on character development from start to finish. Yes it was heartbreaking what happened to Joel at the start, but going back and seeing flashbacks of him and Ellie together, moving from just like they were in TLOU part 1 to seeing the rift open between them was brilliantly done. Some really good environmental puzzles, and the stalkers provide a nice amount of anxiety. Abby was a really interesting character to play, and it was great to see the build up that lead her to hunting down Joel. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mild spoilers to follow.

    I have an unpopular opinion - The ending of the TLOU1 is the saving grace of the entire original game.
    i did not love replaying the game recently and i had to drag myself through it. However the final moments in the original left me with enough ambiguity and gray morality to leave me thinking of it for days after.
    To me, i knew that Joel had done an objectively wrong, yet understandably human thing.
    This provided a platform for debate for me and my friend as we had our own opinions on Joel's actions.
    This leads me to the second game - The story hones in on this moment, exploring the fallout of these actions.
    To me, (as someone who avoided the leaks) i still knew or at least suspected what had caused the inciting event for this game.
    The fact that the entire story revolves around the choices Joel had made was an incredibly respectful way to treat the character- at least to me.
    You spend time with Joel across the story in various ways - flashbacks gameplay sequences filling you in on the four year jump between the original and Part 2.
    Meanwhile, you follow two separate & intertwined stories with differing perspectives in the present day - one belonging to Ellie and the other focusing on a new character to TLOU Part II.

    I wont wax eloquent about the story.
    Simply put, i loved it more than the original.
    It managed to stir emotion in me that games rarely achieve.
    It wont be for everyone - not everyone has the stomach for it nor will they like some of the risks taken by the story.
    Much like the original, the overarching story is incredibly basic, filled with cliches and tropes galore.
    TLOU has never been about this. It has always been about character moments.

    This is where Part II knocks it out of the park.

    Gameplay - i wont go into it too much here because i don't feel like this is being unfairly railed on the internet, but suffice to say, as someone who hated the gameplay of the original this game is so much better to the point i actually enjoy the moment to moment. still lots of scavenging but interspersed with frequent (newly improved and dynamic) combat and dialogue,

    I would give this game an 8 or 9 out of 10, however i can see a million trash reviews with a 0 score, (which this game definitely is not, regardless of how butt-hurt you are about the story) so i'm giving it a 10 to try balance the scale a bit.

    Please ignore the review bombers. If TLOU 2 isn't a 'good' game then I really don't know what a good game is. I do understand *some* of the hate, even though I think a very small amount of it comes from people who have actually played through the game.

    The story skips back and forth a lot, to the point where the end product feels a little jumbled. And the pacing in the first half isn't

    The story skips back and forth a lot, to the point where the end product feels a little jumbled. And the pacing in the first half isn't great, I was starting to get a little bored before the story dramatically changes gears. And while I don't particularly agree with the notion that the game didn't add enough onto the first game mechanics wise, I can understand that some people may have been wanting more new upgrades and weapons then they got. For the most part the game sticks with the same upgrades that were introduced in the first game.

    But simply put, I can't think of many revenge stories better told than this one is. Certainly one has never taken advantage of a video game as a storytelling device more effectively. In its opening hours, the game gives you incredibly strong motivation to hunt and hurt the villians of the story. Over the course of this 30ish hour game however, the lust for revenge and violence ebbs away as you become emotionally invested in the people that are dotted throughout a story, and you see how much this journey takes from the people undertaking it. More harrowingly, Naughty Dog continually build the people in this journey up as likeable, human characters, and then tear them away from you in normally senseless and brutal ways; that's the world this game is set in.

    People who say this story sucks might have missed the point of the first game, or simply take issue with the more progressive plot points in the game whether they realise it or not. But every moment in this game is so carefully crafted to lend itself to the story, and the acting and animation of everyone in both the cutscenes and the gameplay is beyond incredible. The small comments characters make to themselves or each other which normally mirror what you're thinking continually align yourself with who you're playing as. The high level of quality over everything is so much more than just gud graphics. It's the work of a studio completely devoted to creating an experience where every encounter adds more onto your understanding of these characters as people.

    This game should make you incredibly uncomfortable, which I think is the strongest valid reason to not enjoy it. But it should make you feel uncomfortable because you're a human being, and it's hard to watch what these human beings are capable of doing to each other. For that and all the reasons above, is why I think this game has been an incredible way to cap off this console generation. The controversy will die down as people find other things to complain about, but this game is going to be long remembered as the incredible technical and creative feat that it is.

On the contrary of the majority of reviews I’m not mad about Joel dying, since the trailers were released it was obvious that something was gonna happen to him, and that Ellie was going to be moved by that. That’s the whole point of the story, Ellie’s revenge. Both story lines present two human characters who have suffered from the loss of an important person, the story forces you to feel emphatic about both girls and understand that they are antagonists, one will fight the other. The story made me feel nostalgic, terrified, angry... and that end seems perfect to me. Ellie realizing that revenge consumed her, and forgiving Joel. For me this is a masterpiece, and a game for this generation. Expand

    Naughty Dog have done something I thought they'd never achieve - a sequel that surpasses the first. From the beautiful graphics, to the excellent acting, the stunning soundtrack and the engaging gameplay. A clever, undoubtedly controversial moment comes with a surprise shift in gameplay some way through the game - but the way it soon wins you round is quite the achievement. And the story -Naughty Dog have done something I thought they'd never achieve - a sequel that surpasses the first. From the beautiful graphics, to the excellent acting, the stunning soundtrack and the engaging gameplay. A clever, undoubtedly controversial moment comes with a surprise shift in gameplay some way through the game - but the way it soon wins you round is quite the achievement. And the story - an emotional rollercoaster: violent, brutal, funny, heartbreaking. Just brilliant.

    It truly pushes new ground in the line between movies and gaming.

    And that guitar...

    If I have one complaint, it's the same one that I had for the first game - the AI is not the best. But you can forgive that.

    An easy 10/10 for me.

    An aside: The ridiculousness of people spamming zero stars based on spoilers they'd seen rather than playing the actual game (laughably thousands of these appeared within minutes of release - despite the game taking 25-30+ hours) is incredible.

    I will just say this: to those writing it off because of some spoler you've read - just play the game. Trust me, many of you may you may be surprised.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I fininhed de first one, immediately I started to think what was about to happen, if everything would stay ok, was open, but I realized that this was the best way to end... And to be sincere, I never wanted a second game. When I had The Last of Us Part 2 in my hands, And started the menus, I had fear of what was coming, this never happened before, so I immediatelly understand why Part 2. Playing it, I was aware that something would happen with Joel in the beginning, but not certain about his death, and then, he is killed, so easy... I felt impotent, so do Ellie, and there I got what was about, and that it means I was playing a game that try to be better than your first one in all the ways, and that is inside the game history too, we need to be the better of ourselves everyday, and the thing is, we can be better noticing who we are everyday, who we were. The game is better than your first one at everything, and reinforce the idea of the first one, in a way that you cant ran off... The idea of that in real life there are no hero, and we are people, and the characters there are meant to be people, thing that we rarely see in blockbusters of other medias.
    Like I said, Joel dies easily, but when I try to put my self in his place, things should most likely go worse... That time, there was no lucky, he could say a false name, but maybe they did before, but with years of travelers, and everything well, maybe that was the fisrt time on the spur of the moment, they just did what they did... This could happen in the reality, and in other situations always happens.

    Gameplay - On the harder difficult I could ran well, because the mechanics runs so good that I could handle easily with the enemies, mainly with the stealth.

    Graphics - I cant believe that they did it again, like the firt one, we had the game in the generation finals, and the games somteimes looks likes the new generations trailers we had, we could easyly show to someone and tells it is from PS5

    History - I had good moments, and very hard moments with this game, some people must confuse it, frustrating with it doesn't mean its not good, at least with me, they achieved what I think they wanted, I could hate and not hate anymore, and I could dislike someone I love, felt the losses, didnt have time to cry because I was in shock most of time... Thing could have been different, but they wasnt, as do life goes, and as do Joel quotes.

    I hope we have more audacity that way in industry, because when a thing is meant to be good as art, the artists are trying to be the better of themselves, and sometimes art tries to mirror the reality, and sometimes people dislike it and doesnt know, they are disliking reality.

    In the end I think that,same as movies, we need to remember that this game we are just along for the ride that Naughty Dog team wanted to tell.

    For example,as many, I started hating Abby but by the end I was rooting for her and make me feel unsured whose side I wanted to win.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an incredible, generation-defining game. To those who feel upset that it's not an "ideal" story, and that you don't end up liking any of the characters – that's entirely the point. Nobody is right in war and violence, everybody has their reasons for doing things – however irrational they may be – and in a post-apocalyptic world that they're living in, everybody is just trying to cope.

    There is both beauty and brutality throughout the game. A number of characters are given satisfying arcs, sometimes ending all too soon. We go from one "side" to another, unable to decide who it is we truly care about. We're forced to empathise with both sides of the story, which is something clearly more of us need to do.

    I'm sorry that some people out there are sad that a certain character isn't a big part of this game. Perhaps they should replay Part 1 if they need to scratch that itch. Once they're done scratching, I hope they come to realise that Part 2 is an infinitely more rich and immersive game that doesn't rely simply on rehashing the original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly I would say that people are confusing a game with a story they didn't like with a game that is trash. Yes this story wasn't what alot of people where expecting but that in no way makes it bad. Naughty Dog told the story they wanted to tell and for me it was an absolute privilege to play through it. The most important thing to me about a games story is that it has to make me feel something and I can safely say this game succeed in that. I was looking forward to seeing the progression of Ellie and Joels relationship so when Joel died I was deeply saddened... But thats a good thing and made the moments you spend with Joel in the game even more heartbreaking and I loved it and by the end of the game I was deeply satisfied by the progression of their relationship. This game isn't afraid to make you feel sad and for some gamers that isn't what they want out of a game but as a filmaker I adore this level of storytelling. I really can't find the words for how much I enjoyed the story, all aspects of it, the quiet moments between Ellie and Tommy, the guitar playing with Dina etc. Such a beautiful story that I imagine took a herculean effort from everyone at naughty dog to make. The voice acting and mocap where stunning, the soundtrack is gorgeous, graphically the game boggles my mind with how good it is. I will admit that for the first maybe 20mins playing as Abby I was unsure about how I felt but she quickly grew on me and was a fantastic addition to the game as she is a beautifully flawed character questioning her morals and her and Ellies collision is beautiful once you know what they both took from eachother.

    I really love this game. Just because it isn't the story some people wanted doesn't make it a bad story/game and I find myself getting frustrated with peoples criticisms. For me this game took around 30+ hours to complete and for everyone negative review that was posted on day of release I find it really hard to believe that all of those people completed the game in less than 24 hours. The review bombing is immature and paints a distorted picture of how good this game is.

    Dine and Eliies relationship was perfect, they complement eachother so well and in the absence of Joel I was more than happy exploring with Dina. And as Abby getting to play alonside her friends was also a blast. Again I love that this game made me feel emotions and it isn't a bad thing because of it. If people want to play a story that isn't complex and challenging to comprehend emotionally then thats fine but you can't bomb the game in response.

    I love every aspect of this game and cannot wait to replay it (thanks btw for having new game+). This game made me feel sad, angry, frustrated, happy etc and its truly beautiful and is my game of the year without a doubt. Everyone at NaughtyDog I thank you all for this masterclass in storytelling and gaming, you have once again raised the bar so good luck with your next project :).
