    This game is a masterpiece, it was the best story I've ever experienced, the graphics and gameplay are beyond its generation. Part 2 is better than Part 1 in all cases

    Please don't listen to all the haters that rated this game 0s or 1s. Play it for yourself to get your true answer as to how great this game is. The gameplay is NOT for everyone I will admit that but if you loved the first one like I did you will like everything about Part 2 I can promise you at least that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't get people. Many just crying for a better ending or a better story. Many are dissatisfied. How this or that would be much wiser to do blablabla. They want to erase this like that would solve anything, but that's just denial.
    I'm satisfied. I got a story, a story what the creators wanted to tell me.
    I enjoyed the game. The thrills it got me, the gameplay, visuals and the sounds. It all contributed to have a great experience, to involve me as much as possible to the world. The whole game is well thought out and well made. Lot of detail and work had been put into it, that's sure. The makers deserve applause for it.

    I also had problems with characters. I didn't like them at the time, but that's just life. You can't make everyone happy.
    (And you would not want that anyway. From a creator point of view you want to present your idea as you see fit, not as how others will like it.)

    I also had a character whom I liked and at the end of the story I was pity him for being stuck emotionally. Just like how Joel was stuck with her daughters death. Which is totally okay. But he haven't moved on after 20 years. He got a second chance from life and he took it. It had consequences which he paid for after all. Ellies and Abbys journey also had these consequences, but at the end Ellie made the right decision. She has grown. We get the moral of the story, at a cost.
    Thats why this game is so great. Its cold and warm. It makes you hate or like people in it. Makes you think. Life is just like that. No happy ending, just plain cruel reality.

    I think many of us who played the game liked it after all. It just happened that its unpopular to have a positive opinion about it nowadays and it makes it look like this game is trash.
    It's okay to hate it as well as love it.
    Just don't let others ruin your experience. I believe it's a MUST to play this game.

    Stay safe Gamers!    … Expand

    It's truly disappointing what state the gaming community has come to.

It's in the gameplay where the game tends to fall apart, but in it's best moments it shines really bright. It features one of the most compelling enemy AIs I've seen so far, which generates an infinite amount of surprises. In its best moments the games challenges have the complexity of a puzzle which adapts and generates new combat situations on the go. It's the juicy emergent behaviour many designers strive for these days. At the same time TLOU2 features many questionable design decisions which carried over from Naughty Dogs old titles, but didn't age that well with the new game concept. I really dislike the choice of plants in such complex environments to indicate interactable objects. The inventory system doesn't hold up in stressful boss fights and looting is just a pain, especially chaotic environments like a hardware store. Also, the companion AI is really laking in many instances.

    It's saddening to see a bland incoherent title like Ghost of Tsushima get a user rating of 9.3, while a novel work like TLOU 2 gets a mediocre user score. I personally don't feel like I can trust user ratings on metacritic anymore. Whether there's a lack of trustworthiness in those reviews or whether I just grew apart from the common taste I can't tell. I certainly hope the former is the case. I also hope that the sales numbers of TLOU2 don't reflect this sentiment, because I really want to see more of this kind of work from you guys at Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    As a game on it's own merit i'd give it a 5 but due to false marketing, disregard for it's fans and a myriad of other issues i'm giving it a 0. After all, if it's ok for 70 out of of 100 journalists/churnalists to give it a perfect score then i guess it's ok to give it the lowest possiblle score. That's what happens when you don't play fair. Other companies, take note!

    Visually, its stunning. The gameplay is less combat focused this time around. There is far more exploration. i appreciated this more than i thought i would, simply because the detail and variety in the world was far greater than maybe any game I've ever played. It never felt like the developers took a shortcut, as so many other AAA developers often do. it felt that they had taken an almost obsessive degree of care in bringing this world to life. I think the balance between combat, stealth, slow paced exploration, cinematic set pieces and narrative, is maybe perfect.

    Regarding the narrative, which seems to have provoked a great deal of controversy, its not perfect. It seems Naughty Dog maybe tried to do too much as part of the narrative. A lot of it felt patched together. Its far from bad however. In fact, i think that its intention to reinforce that these characters, as interesting and relatable as they are, are essentially killing machines, feels like a continuation of point it makes at the end of the first game. One theme among those who dislike the game, is that they don't appreciate the depressing tone, but were we really meant to end the original feeling happy? Did we feel that the right choices were made by Joel; the character we're supposed to control? Should Ellie and Joel be anything like the people they were following the events of Part 1?

    Like the first game, we are led to believe that the choices being made and deaths that are occurring are worthwhile in order to survive, when in reality, we're killing all of these people without there being a worthwhile ending. Unlike the first the game, Part 2 is incredibly upfront about that fact, making it clear early, with *that moment*.

    The post-apocalyptic world is not forgiving. The human psyche is unpredictable and even nonsensical. The Last of Us Part 2 is thematically built around these two points with far greater confidence than Part 1, and it makes for one of the best games I've ever played.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of my favorite games ever. It looks beautiful, I love the gameplay and story. It managed to make me be able to sympathize with Abby who I really wanted to hate. It made me realize that the only reason we took Joel's side was because we played as him and saw things from his perspective. I felt conflicted when Fighting Ellie as Abby and vice versa, because I wanted them both to be able to move on. I did have a couple issue though. Once we got to the climax, the story rewound three days. I wanted to rush through that part because I was dying to know what happened next. I also feel like since Tommy and Joel had just saved Abby's life, she should probably have even a little hesitation before shooting him in the leg and murdering him with a golf club. I also feel like she got a little too lucky with finding Joel almost immediately and having the perfect reason to lure him back to her group.… Expand

    The only reason I’m giving any points at all is for the games graphics and some of the cool fight segments. Other than that, for as long as this game has been in development, it’s sad to see how poorly written this game is. The game constantly switches between the past and present, creating a few plot holes along the way. The dialogue is horrible as well.

I loved the first game, but don’t like being force fed politically correct messaging, and I was seriously considering sitting this one out. I’m glad that I didn’t. The Last of Us Part 2 is a great ride.

    First, I believe the biggest reason for not liking this game revolves around people’s expectations going into it. If you go in heavily invested in certain characters, or specific endings, you’re more likely to be disappointed than someone with no expectations. I fell into the latter camp. For me, no one was safe in this apocalypse, not even the characters I cared most about. As a result, the story’s direction didn’t bother me. I accidentally caught a few spoilers before starting, but even then was caught off guard by the numerous plot twists. I found the story compelling, all of the characters’ decisions are consistent with who they are as people.

    Second, I enjoyed the game play mechanics from the first game and this one plays the same. I feel like there were some missed opportunities to add more weapons and gear, but it delivers the same stealth/shooting/scavenging/crafting experience that I loved from the original.

    For a lot of people, minds have been made up before playing. But I encourage anyone who hasn’t played it yet to give it a chance, you might be glad you did.    … Expand

    The game is a masterpiece. Fun to play, challenging and with a great plot. It is about loss and revenge in post-apocalyptic world, not teddy bears in a park. The pristine quality of its storyline is rarely found in videogames. Some clearly did not understand it or had their feelings hurt because the story did not go the way they wanted. This is an obvious 10/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has several narrative problems! The event surrounding Joel's death created a bizarre and very poorly crafted storyline. Firstly, because Joel is slaughtered by Abby and her group doesn't kill Tommy and Ellie, knowing that there was a clear possibility that they would want revenge? Since when are they good enough to keep someone out of their group alive? Look at the colossal size of this Deux ex machina in a post-apocalyptic world and CRUEL to CREATE a plot in a forced and stupid way, only blind does not see, I'm sorry, a game focused on history with a hole the size of a crater in the same script this is a shame. Everything that happens after this event is a mountain down, although the game remains in the name of the character that we all like, Ellie, the story creeps into an immense void during her gameplay, with silly confrontations, collection of supplies, infected here and there, blablabla, for later on the part of $ @ # $ # abby you have the best moments of escape, combat and gameplay, and I DEFINITELY did not want to play with this character. The charisma or understanding of this character's "side" was a FAIL in its entirety. Abby has no charisma and had no chance of being able to, she killed the favorite character of many and this is unforgivable, I have no remorse for a mastodon who was the daughter of a doctor who wanted to kill Ellie in the name of a cure that nobody knows if there was going to be.
    The last point is the end of the story, the part with Ellie is excellent and the exploration of that new coastal area is very cool, a different and new air, but damn, when the story ends I think "you went so far, you killed people I **** **** a lot of people to punch and let that slut get away? ", then I say, there is no way a tlou 1 fan can accept this story, even though people like you liked it, but I'm sorry, no give, it's a feeling of hatred for the plot and whoever planned it, because revenge should be completed, this world does not forgive FOR FOOD and silly reasons, will you forgive for killing someone so important? It's like Chris arriving at the end of Resident evil 5 and saying to the wesker "pow, I'm not going to kill you, you are cool"!
    You have a lot of fun gameplay moments, but I'm not going to support these political causes and other idiocies that neil druckmann is trying to impose on people through this game, so my grade is 0, it's a protest grade.    … Expand

    Almost every game is reviewed as a whole.. because, well, they are meant to be experienced that way. But this isn't one of those.

And from start to finish the score fluctuated. But as the game went on, it just became drawn outAlmost every game is reviewed as a whole.. because, well, they are meant to be experienced that way. But this isn't one of those. It should be broken down into two categories: the story and the gameplay. I've played through it 3 times now. The first time was the full game - cutscenes included. And from start to finish the score fluctuated. But as the game went on, it just became drawn out and monotonous. When reaching certain climaxes, you revert back to what almost feels like an eternity ago. Which literally is 2 hours into the game. And it ruins the pacing of the game too much.

    After playing through it initially, I wasn't sure I would be able to play it again. But luckily this game has skippable cutscenes. Which brings me to category two of how this game should be played. When you don't see the story and in a sense, it's just 1 long gameplay sequence, the pacing doesn't feel bothersome. The story that tries to force you to feel a certain way, can for the most part, be ignored if you choose the character(s) you're playing aren't part of any narrative. With that said, in the latter part of the game, I feel like the characters are boring and not as interesting as the ones you meet in the first half.. and at times, even come off as annoying. However, when you don't have to see their story entirely and can skip it, you experience a great game that is a solid 9/10, if you loved The Last of Us.

    But that's unfortunately the problem. The story itself is just trying to tell you that you can't pick sides. You need to understand everything before you choose. It's like a sad attempt at begging. One half of the story is telling you this is why you're taking this journey. Then the second half tells you that this journey should not be taken. The writing is just bad and that's why a side must always be taken. Even if it isn't the right. Who knew Bungie's writing with Destiny would be better than a Naughty Dog game? At least they understand how satisfaction works in video games. After a 25 hour game that had its ups and downs, it needed a solid, fulfilling ending.. but unfortunately, it was just lifeless with no reward for your time spent. It tried to be deep, but deeply failed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked The last of us part II, but i considered that it is not as the fist title.

    Playability: it is better that first tittle (although is a sequel must do), introduces new zombies enemies and dogs (A good point for me, these enemies have got kill me many times), but human enemies are very silly, although i have seen that in levels more high (Difficult and survival) this is fixed (I have played in normal)

    Atmosphere: Jackson, Seattle and California feel alive and it can see the great game design.

    Graphics: The best the generation with red dead redention II

    Plot: Ok, this is the parth that i have felt a little disappointed, i`ve liked the Joel´s death (It is logic, respect the first game), but i think that could be better that we have known more later, Ok i explained:

    In this game we control Ellie and another caracter, Abby, who´s killed Joel, if Naugthy Dog wanted that we felt something by Abby, it shouldn´t have showed as soon Joel death´s, and theremore should have mixed the two stories, because when i started the Abby´s story, i felt to play another game, and is a cut action total, and the island part, i spared a lot, i don´t like anything Isaac, Lev and Hanna (In my opinion, this part is badly told.

It is a rollercoaster of emotions. If you go in close-minded, you won’t understand the story and the brilliant writing that is presented here and miss the point of the game.

    From a technical and gameplay standpoint, the sequel improves on its predecessor in virtually every way. The animations here are the best I have ever seen, in cutscenes that are acted brilliantly by the game’s cast, and also in the gameplay. Walking, running, fighting, grabbing objects and climbing looks and feels not only more realistic, but also smoother than in any game this generation. The soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla is amazing. The graphics, the details and the lighting create an outstanding overall presentation that makes you appreciate how much work has flown into it and sets the bar high for all the next-gen titles that will launch in the next five years.    … Expand

    La historia es una historia madura y adulta , es un juego para adultos , con lo cual se muestra oscuro y crudo , no podia ser de otra manera en un mundo post-apoacliptico por causa de una infección , las criticas a la violencia y la crueldad no tienen sentido , el juego en ese sentido bebe mucho de The Walking Dead. La trama no es solo de venganza si no también de redención , hay que saber ver mas allá de lo que pasa en pantalla y entender los matices que en este juego hay muchisimos.

    La forma de contar la historia quizas es su punto flaco ya que es menos clara que en la primera parte , pero la gracia es que al final todo cobra sentido (siempre y cuando llegues a entender toda la trama).

    El detalle grafico es enfermizo marca Naughty Dog.
    Los personajes los hay mejores o peores , pero los principales cumplen su función y sobretodo Ellie aqui tiene su desenlace,hay que entender que es un personaje totalmente roto por dentro , sin un proposito en la vida por culpa de Joel que a su vez es su figura paterna eso pone a Ellie en un gran conlficto interior.

They only came here because Metacritic doesn't have any account linking to prove you've actually played the game (like Steam does -- this should be mandatory), and all the crybabies who saw the leaks review bombed it, hoping it wouldn't become PS4's bestseller. Well guess what, it's been nearly 2 months now and people are STILL talking about TLOU Part II.

    Now, let's get to the good stuff. The review!

    This is by far the best video game ever created for the PS4. The visuals outshine that of The Last of Us. The actual details (if you make Ellie go prone repeatedly on cement, she'll have scrapes on her forearms and wrists). The story is really great (although I feel like they could have made the game longer to expand on a few things). But overall I thought this was the best game I have ever played on PS4 from Naughty Dog. SO good in fact that I played this game 3 times in a row (not only to get the platinum, which was easier without factions), but because I just love the whole Last of Us world (and I waited 7 years to be with Ellie in her world again).

    I HIGHLY recommend this game. The quality outshines any other game out there. Naughty Dog created new tech just for realistic EYES!

    Do yourself a favor and buy this game. The story hits hard, but that's okay.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, I'm not sure why there is such hatred out there for this game but I felt like weighing in on the action, as I have a fairly different view to other people. I finished the game on the hardest difficulty (survival I believe) and it took me around 30 - 40 hours. Let me explain what I thought:

    Firstly the technical aspects of this game are incredible. The graphics are absolutely stunning, the sound design is fantastic and creates a very tense atmosphere, and the play areas have become much bigger and - considering it is a linear game - make it feel almost non linear.

    Gameplay you should expect more of the same thing from the first game. Stealth focused with lashings of ultra violence when things go wrong. The ability to go prone, jump and climb add a little extra but are certainly not huge advances. Similarly the crafting and upgrades have been expanded slightly, but are not huge leaps forward.

    There were parts I did not like. I felt like the number of set pieces had been increased considerably from the first game, and that is where the gameplay is weakest. On the hardest difficulty there are very few supplies, and all the items you craft are precious, not to mention they can be difficult to swap between when you are being assailed on all sides by runners. This highlights the problems with the controls, for example you may dodge blows from an infected only for your hits to be directed in the direction you were initially facing, rather than to the infected you are now in a hand to hand fight with - hugely frustrating. One such set piece there are waves of increasingly harder enemies attacking you, beginning with runners, then runners and clickers, and ending with multiple shamblers and runners - there were no save checkpoints between waves which meant having to repeat the easy sections multiple times. The set pieces are then reduced to a trial and error approach until you know how to time your actions against the spawns - on easier difficulties this won't be such an issue, but it was very frustrating on survival.

    Another addition I did not like were the dogs. Dogs have a handler, as you'd expect, and once dogs have picked up your sent will follow it until they find you. This can be interrupted by stunning them in a variety of ways. There is one section in game where the amount of dogs and people patrolling make advancing very slow if you are trying to remain undetected. If a dog hits your sent trail though, you have to move quick, they will catch up fast and have huge detection radius on the hardest difficulty. Combine this with their handler and stunning them becomes almost an impossibility. In the end I just resorted to Molotovs before they had caught my scent, or leading them onto mines. It felt a cheap tactic on my part, but I couldn't find any other obvious option.

    Now for the story, where most complaints seem to lie. I thought the story was incredible, it kept me hooked until the end. Joel gets killed early on, but I didn't have a problem with this. We know Joel and Ellie from the first game at this point, and hopefully are invested in them. Joel is a bad dude though, I'm not sure if anybody remembers the end to the first game, but he killed a lot of people and ensured there would be no cure. I couldn't believe it in the first game while it was happening, and was shouting at my screen for him to stop. Ellie feels the same as I do, what Joel did was wrong, and their relationship has become broken down and strained as a result. I had no problem with Joel dying, most of our investment is with Ellie at this point (or should be, in my opinion) so killing Joel is not an issue. Joel is still a father figure to Ellie though, so watching him get beaten to death sets Ellie on a path to revenge.

    Abby is Joels killer, and you are forced to play as her throughout the game. To start with it feels forced too. I didn't want to play as her to begin with either. During this time though, we learn her motivations and we watch as she puts herself through the **** 3 days to save two children. By the end of Abbys section I found myself invested in Abby and Ellie equally.

    The final section of the game is played as Ellie, and I spent the whole time dreading the end. I did not want to reach the end of the game just to find her make what I considered to be the wrong decision, especially after Joel did in the first game. It is gripping stuff, which if you ignore the intricacies can sound very simple and disappointing. Is it just a tale of revenge? Mostly yes. Was the first game just the tale of smuggling a package? Mostly yes.

    It's not a perfect game, the story is slightly weaker than the first game, but the gameplay is slightly stronger. I'd say this was an equal to the Last of Us Part One: Technically incredible, slight clumsiness in controls, with minor gameplay improvements, occasionally frustrating level design, and a slightly weaker - but still great - sto    … Expand

    Thankfully didn't read any spoilers beforehand. All I knew was that people hated it and I wasn't sure why. I went in with an open mind and loved it. While not as good as the first game, it's still really good. Certain aspects caught me by surprise but just like life, things can come out of left field when you least expect them. Honestly, I'm still unsure why this game is getting so much hate.

    Where to begin, I'm absolutely blown away by this game, congratulations to Naughty Dog on creating such a brilliant experience for us all to share. This is a true masterpiece and should be a lesson to all game developers, it's taken me just over 20 hours to beat and what a rollercoaster ride of emotions it has been!

This is a true masterpiece and should be a lesson to all game developers, it's taken me just over 20 hours to beat and what a rollercoaster ride of emotions it has been!

    The level of detail put into the design is staggering, from a technical perspective it's amazing to look at, the sound, environments, and characters are some of the best I have witnessed in a game. It plays great on the PS4 Pro, I did notice some slight drops in FPS when a lot of water was present but aside from that the game is flawless and the HDR implementation is very impressive if you can take advantage of it.

    I feel this sets the benchmark extremely high for all other single-player narratives. I don't want to give anything away but the complexity of the story is excellent and keeps you wanting to play on and on to reach the next piece of the puzzle, with numerous flashbacks, and intertwining plotlines adding something very special not found in many other games, it kept me guessing and I found it very hard to put down, a few enjoyable late nights were had getting fully immersed in this post-apocalyptic world.

    I was a huge fan of the first game and feel that this sequel did it justice. I'm not so shocked that people review bombed the game, because I know that with controversial decisions there will always be a mixed bag of emotions and opinions but all that aside, I would highly recommend this game. Please don't pass up on a very rewarding experience, keep an open mind, and just enjoy the ride - thank me later.    … Expand

    Pathetic story heavily influenced by SJW culture, blank gameplay, pretty graphics limited by feeble resources ps4 can offer, awful character development - do not spend your money nor your time on it.

    Last of Us Part II is a 10/10 masterpiece, an achievement in gaming that better sweep awards. Trolls that attacked this game online can't take away its accomplishment. Oh and for the record I'm Team Abby, and it's not even close. Thank you Naughty Dog, you've come a long way since Uncharted.

    Generic petty-revenge plot, bland characters, poorly executed and an unworthy sequel to the previous title.

    The game is amazing, graphically impeccable, the gameplay has been improved and it flows very well the storyline manipulates you and you find yourself in doubt about who is hero and villain and question yourself at each different point of view of the actions so far Exciting and impactful, with many hours of gameplay

    After playing through this – I dare say 'masterpiece' – it just confirms, for me, that a large portion of the 30.000 plus negative reviews are most likely from transphobic and homophobic fanboys. This game is ground braking, innovative in it's cast and the storytelling is at its finest, purest and rawest!

    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]
