    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story in this is abysmal many people are outraged about the LGBT content and honestly I don't care either way they exist in real life and therefore can be written into videogames what I dislike about this is how they've shoehorned in extended gameplay as an enemy character who frankly I hated because she killed Joel and then when you finally reach the end you don't even kill her, honestly some of the most poor plot choices I've seen in a game yet.

    Gameplay is 10/10 story is 0/10.

    If it was any other series this would be a run of the mill triple A game but they really wet the bed with this one

At the beginning it sets up your mind in a state of " I'm going to kill every last one of them" but as the narrative evolves we slowly change our perspective . We get to understand that each one of our actions has a weight in this post apocalyptic world. The quest of revenge is justified but at the end we question whether it was truly worth everything you had. The second main character greatly ressembles Joel's arc in the first game and we see how she changes from a ruthless killer of Justice to a Caring person who finally finds something to live for again. The finale shows us how it is hard to break from something here the cycle of violence instilled by the end of The first game ,but leaves a deep profound impact which makes players think and think and think... For the foreseeable future of the series and in which direction the writers want to expand the story . It is not Joel's and Ellie's story, it's the story of The Last of us.… Expand

    The first game and dlc were perfect stories with amazing gameplay. Now I'm left feeling empty and struggling to point anything I liked about the overly long and incoherent story. No real changes to the combat and gameplay, which is fine because I still enjoyed it. False advertising in the trailers.

    Brutal. Muestra la naturaleza humana desarrollada en un mundo apocalíptico. Muchos esperaban un videojuego palomitero en historia (Que le gustara a todo el mundo, todo color de rosas). La gente no tiene claro el contexto de cada parte, ni el mensaje de fondo de las mismas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I guess I share my back story with this franchise with the vast majority of people here. I absolutely love the first game and have anticipated the sequel impatiently. However, from my very first encounter with The Last of Us years ago I've felt more attached to Ellie than Joel so for me making her the main focus of the story in the continuation was really a dream coming true. That's probably why I find Joel's death (even despite the overwhelming sadness of the moment) a good starting point of the whole narrative and something that gives Ellie very strong motivation for the revenge.
    The first half of the game (everything up until the initial confrontation of Ellie and Abby in the theater) truly left me invested in the story and eager for more. I very much liked watching the relationship between Ellie and Dina evolving and the comfort it gave the main character as well as the player. For me, the camera shots of Ellie's back and the shift in her emotional state, were (and stil are) enough of an anti-violence message that Naughty Dog was surely aiming to deliver.
    And here unfortunately comes the second half of the story... At the beginning of the Abby-oriented storytelling I was convinced it was only for a little while (to add some valuable insights into the character's past etc.). I'm totally okay with temporary changes of the player's perspective (after all it worked in the first game), but why anyone though that it was a good idea to throw everything straight into the trash bin and to force us to solve the problems of the person we wholeheartedly hate for the next ten hours? And don't even get me started on making the player fight Ellie...
    I'm happy that they at least allowed me see the ending of the story through Ellie's eyes and it was very emotionally-charged and thought-provoking, but honestly I was so tired after this whole "Abby twist" that it wasn't as touching kind of closure as I'd been hoping for before all of that happened.
    To nicely sum the thing up, The Last of Us Part II isn't a failure at its core - it's still top notch from the strictly technical point of view, but it was unpleasant for me to see some strange storytelling experiments in my beloved game - there are DLCs for example to implement such ideas. In addition, what's made the disappointment even worse was the advertising - not a word has been said that something like that is coming story-wise and if something takes up about a half of your product, you should mention it. All in all, let me just quote Dina - "I'd give it a six".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is singlehandedly one of another of Naughty Dog’s great games. No, nobody paid me to say that. It is my own objective opinion. Every single aspect of this game is enjoyable which is why I think it deserves a 10/10. I won’t get into details but this story is simply the consequence of all of Joel’s actions put into a game with Ellie having to deal with those consequences, whether it’s having to deal with the countless lives that were lost from not having a vaccine to her having to fight a woman whose dad was murdered by Joel. No one is right in this game and every one is wrong. There are so many layers to this game, and to pick that a single person is wrong would be ignorant of this game’s story. Ellie’s bloodlust versus Abby’s revenge for her father was beautifully written. And one more thing, the reason that Abby was so broken up about her father’s death, wasn’t because someone killed him in cold blood but that based on a previous conversation she would have sacrificed herself for him, so she had the guilt of blaming herself for her father’s death her entire life, which caused her to be more intense, stronger, and to be more powerful. This is simply a good game, and I understand that some sensitive viewers will have a problem and can give their opinion but in general this game is amazing. Again, 10/10… Expand

I avoided all spoilers but had a good idea Joel was gonna die because of the uproar on the internet, though when I started playing as Abby I couldn't stand her at first, I was actually throwing myself off the top of buildings at first to get my revenge for Joel. First time I've purposely killed myself in a game! Ha. But I gotta hand it too naughty dog, by the end I actually liked her and felt for her, I thought the ending was sick and it was better revenge than killing her for Ellie as she killed everyone close to her and left her alive with the guilt that they all died because of her revenge on Joel.

Time passed and I was playing the game just to complete it. While playing as Abby I lost it even more but gain more interest when they “killed” Tommy. I was hyped for how the game was evolving. When I got the the second to last fight of Ellie and Abby, I was shocked with the way they let Ellie live(I loved that). When Ellie went back for Abby I was hyped, waiting for the final fight. Once I got there and completed everything, fought Abby and I was expecting her death but Ellie let her go. That was a complete dissapointment for me, I felt like I wasted my entire life waiting on this game to basically get screwed by a **** ending by Ellie letting Abby go. Story was terrible, terrible start and terrible ending. Gameplay is awesome and the game looks beautiful. The game was not worth the wait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2 out of 10 for the graphics, too bad the rest of the game brings it down. Gameplay-wise( same as the seven-year-old entry) and especially story-wise.

    This game is not telling a story it's trying to push a message. A poor one at that and it disregards all of feelings we had towards the existing characters.

    Remember if someone kills your dad you'd best just get over it.

    The reason players don't care for abby

    This story should have ended with the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't think anybody can deny that TLOU2 has incredible graphics, cutscenes, and music, and if you liked the gameplay of the previous game, you'll have an even better time here. However, I don't think a lot of people play Naughty Dog games for the gameplay or the graphics. Those are the icing on the story-based cake, and (boiling hot take here) I liked it. More specifically, I liked it in the same way I like a depressing movie. I don't like how it makes me feel, but I like that it makes me feel.
    90% of people who are reviewing this game poorly cite two things: Joel's early death and the inclusion of LGBT+ characters. They simply cannot look past the fact that Joel died. But if you're willing to see the significance of it, instead of incessantly complaining about how he died too early, then you'll realize that it was done to make you mad. And it succeeded. Now, as for the inclusion of LGBT+ characters: get some tolerance. Everyone's out here griping about how they're "following a political agenda" or "pushing for the left" or whatever, but if Dina was a dude, or Lev wasn't transgender, and they did the EXACT SAME THINGS, y'all wouldn't care. The LGBT+ characters don't do anything more than what straight characters do in other games, yet people complain that they include them too much. I mean, c'mon. They aren't pushing a leftist agenda here, you just can't stomach a game including LGBT+ characters that take the place of straight ones and do the exact same things.
    Naughty Dog definitely took a risk here, and it's clearly not a risk that everyone liked. However, if you're like me, who appreciates feeling something that isn't happiness from a video game, can look past a single choice that, let's be real, y'all are making much bigger than it was, and has a pinch of tolerance in your body, then I think you'll at least marginally enjoy this game. Do I think that certain characters deserved better? Yes! But that's the reality of the world. Not everyone gets a happy ending. And I think that's what makes the game great. It doesn't pull any punches, and it takes risks that make you feel something. People played this expecting another Last Of Us, but this game is by no means its predecessor. It's dark and gritty, and takes a lot of risks. Is it as good as The Last of Us 1? No, definitely not. However, that doesn't mean it deserves all of the 0s it's been getting. It's not a feel good game, that's for sure, but I definitely think it's a good one. At least, if you've got the stomach for it.    … Expand

    This is emotional rollercoaster. The plot is engaging and you can just feel emotions of the characters. This is a story of tragedy, story of people who just can't live normally because of their past. Everyone hero has his backstory and trying to do their best. And its great. With really good gameplay, it is one of the best games i played.

    Graphics; Best I've ever seen together with Red Dead Redemption 2. Sound: Not as memorable as the first game but still very good, on a technical level it's amazing. Gameplay: The controls are responsive and the animations are among the best I've seen in a game.

    Sound: Not as memorable as the first game but still very good, on a technical level it's amazing.

    Gameplay: The controls are responsive and the animations are among the best I've seen in a game. The AI is not the best but a great improvement over the first game. The dodge and prone mechanics are both nice improvements over the first game.

    Now the bad stuff, I'll start lightly;

    The pacing is sometimes worse than the first game due to more open areas, I felt like there was a bit too much exploring before something happend in the story. The first game had more evenly spread out portions of combat/exploration/cutscenes.

    The new characters aren't all that intresting, but that's mostly because it's hard to avoid comparing them to Joel and Ellie who are always excellent. Dina is one of the worst and most annoying characters I've ever seen in a game, and totally unintresting. Abby was better but I felt her story could have been told through DLC or a spin-off.

    The story in general is not bad, I actually enjoyed alot of it. The main problem I had with the game was Joel's fate. How they could do this to a beloved character that I waited 7 years to go on an adventure with again is unbelivable. A few hours into the game I felt absolutely no reason to go on and finish the game. What kept me going was mostly because I enjoyed the beautiful scenaries.

    I had no real issue with the characters being gay/bi/whatever, but after hearing the word "bigot" twice in the first hour I kinda understood that this was gonna be another one of those "message over story" productions.

    This could have been so great, the potential is surely there. But Naughty Dog went for shock value instead of something more traditional and maybe boring. The problem with shocking the audience is that now something is broken that can't be fixed, and if there's ever a third game I couldn't care less about it.

    I had waited 7 years, I was hyped as hell, I trusted you Naughty Dog, I payed $60, and I got spit in the face, that's how I feel. So while the game looks like a 10 for someone who's not invested in the first game like I was, for me... it will be a genuine 0.    … Expand

This is not just a tale of revenge, but also one of companionship, loyalty, the vicious cycle of revenge, the duality of    The Last of Us Part II is one of the best games I have played in recent memory.

    This is a game that pushes videos games as a storytelling medium and provides some of the most memorable set-pieces featuring one of the most multi-dimensional cast of any story ever told. This is not just a tale of revenge, but also one of companionship, loyalty, the vicious cycle of revenge, the duality of conflict, and regret. It explores many other themes, some of which come unexpected and can only truly be grasped the the most curious of players.

    Its story is backed-up by visceral gameplay, that has you surviving human threats, ranging from the survivor mercenaries inhabiting this post-apocalyptic world, to the ugliest and most dangerous of infected that roam the ruins of a once great civilization. Encounters are brutal and unforgiving. The gameplay is perhaps also the only point of contention in this game, as stealth is often times too easily broken and once that happens, you are left vulnerable and many of the resources you spent hours hoarding suddenly go to waste. It is also worth mentioning that this is a problem because the game was marketed as letting you "pick-your-own-path" in combat. Entire sections can be avoided by sneaking past human enemies and dogs, but this was rarely possible due to the inaccessibility of stealth, having led to unnecessary murders of dogs, which felt deeply uncomfortable.

    The graphics only heighten the sense of discomfort when violence is shown on-screen, as every nook and cranny is beautifully realized and you can see every wrinkle, scar, and blood smear on enemies' bodies as you take them down. This isn't to say that there aren't beautiful moments, because there are plenty and they are truly jaw-dropping.

    Overall, The Last of Us Part II is a beautifully realized piece of art that stay true to the characters it portrays from the original game, and it opens up new perspectives on their humanity, or lack-there-of at times. It fully realized the developers' intent to portray a story that is the polar opposite of its original, and guide the player through a cycle of hate that can only be broken the the bigger person. I truly can't wait to see where this franchise is taken to next.    … Expand

I haven't finished the game because of choices that the game is forcing onto its players, which is the main issue that I have with this game. (I had to watch the rest of the story and cinematic scenes from other people's play-through runs, to see how the story ends).

    Regardless of whatever moral lesson, or story the writers want to convey, i'm never a fan of forcing actions or narratives onto others. I'm not going to play a game that forces onto me, an action that I wouldn't want to make. This game does this SEVERAL times, many many times, to the point that it feels like the writers are just badgering & forcing themselves on the player; there's no real choice.

    +1 point for the amazing and beautiful world-building.
    +1 point for the accessibility features
    +1 point for the science-based, very well researched world plot and character development/psychology.
    -1 point for lack of choice/consequence in your gameplay (it was absolutely on rails)
    -3 points for several VERY FORCED story narratives, which i'm absolutely not ok with. You have absolutely no choice when it comes to the story even if it's morally conflicting to you.
    -1 point for lack of more thought provoking puzzles.
    -2 points for lacking gameplay (poor stealth system, repetitive gameplay... it was incredibly boring)

    Again, last of us would've made for an incredible movie... I just didn't enjoy it as a GAME that i'm supposed to interact with, and be able to make my own choices. I don't really enjoy people forcing their own views or decisions on me... especially not the ones in this game.    … Expand

How the story was written made me question whether vengeance is ever worth it or not. I found myself caring for the protagonists and their allies, sympathizing with their internal and even external pain. Moreover, the characters’ actions are realistic in a sense. They felt alive. When I played as the protagonists, my opinions didn’t matter, but theirs did—and I followed their every choices no matter how disapproving they were to me. The combat, stealth, and exploration of the game are astounding. The combat is more diverse than the first game with their added implementation of the well-done dodge mechanic. The AI also communicates greatly with each other as well as the player and their actions. Stealth is better than ever, with numerous ways of achieving those sneaky kills or sneaky, pacifistic getaways. Furthermore, depending on whoever you play as, how you approach your enemies would differ. On one character, I kept relying on traps and explosive tools. On the other, I mainly used arrows and silencers—the more quiet gear. Lastly, the world is just impressive to have been developed. There are fascinating details and unessential yet intriguing stories and lore, in the form of artifacts and graffiti, in almost every place of the game. This adds more to the place its set in, and makes it feel more realistic. In conclusion, the game did much, much better than the first. Not just on its gameplay aspects, but also on its story. I respect the directions they took, and I enjoyed it all the way. Trust me when I say this, your Last Of Us experience is going to be an incredible, immersive one if you tackle it with an open-mind and an adventurous instinct.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you are closed-minded, are not capable to have perspective and are not able to understand the character's point of views, then this is NOT A GAME FOR YOU! A lot of YouTubers and people are fixated to Joel's death which is understandable, but a lot of people really don't understand the story which is where all the hate is coming from. Yes, it sucks that Joel died the way he did and I even cried because he is a beloved character but let's be real, it would not be realistic if Joel had an honerable death. Real life does not work that way, especially in a world of survival. Joel himself crossed many people and he happened to cross someone (Abby) that was affected by his actions. That is where perspective comes in. From what I experienced playing the game, there are two themes which is Revenge and Forgiveness. Because of Joel's death, the flashbacks have meaning and brings moments of happiness to a world that is dark and tragic. Even the times Ellie plays the guitar enhances my happiness in the game. It really does bring so many emotions out of me playing this game and I think that is what the developers wanted. We are human after all. The characters in the game are very well written and if you actually pay attention to the story and dialouge you have with the characters, you learn a lot about them. Not everything is in cutscenes. There is this constant cycle of revenge but at the end, when Ellie gets that quick flashback of Joel, she found her peace and was able to forgive Joel from the lie he told Ellie since Part 1. She had no need to kill Abby because she found peace and was able to move on. Revenge would not take anybody anywhere. Ellie and Abby are similar in so many ways. Even Joel and Abby were similar when it came to taking care of a child for instance Joel for Ellie and Abby for Lev. Other than that, gameplay is amazing, definitely and upgrade from Part 1. Graphics are beautiful and like I said, I enjoyed and loved the story. FYI I also noticed that after like 5 hours of the game coming out, there were a bunch of negative reviews of the game so I find that very suspicious considering that game takes like 30 hours +.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS: This game is absolutely unique, there's nothing else like it out there.

    I love the fact that you play from the perspective of the villain, it helps you realise that in this world they are all villains and they become so for protecting or avenging the people they love by killing thousands of enemies all with their own backstories.

    This feels like an entirely different experience and a standalone game, not a sequel.

    I was upset and surprised when I saw the way Joel died and how you play with the character who killed him throughout the entire game, but I like the fact that the developers went for a different reaction, it’s something new and it’s well delivered. The only issue I have with the plot is how Ellie and Tommy are left alive deliberately, that feels unlikely given how all the characters have dealt with similar scenarios in the first game. They should have come up with something external interrupting their execution, such as a horde invasion or an explosion, rather than being left alive deliberately with the opportunity of taking revenge.

    The acting is incredible, the characters development and backstory is detailed and deep without giving away too much so that you can find out more information for yourself by exploring the open world and collecting intel.
    The graphics are stunning, it’s an open world that improves on the experience of the first game. The action mechanics are incredible.

    I understand people are attached to the characters of the first game and if we were given an option for multiple endings and plot developments we would have gone a different route (maybe that’s what’s missing, multiple choices, multiple endings) but I don’t understand why so many people are being crybabies about it.
    This game takes you though a journey of forgiveness showing how obsession and revenge destroy everything in its path.

    Compared to what’s out there, it’s easily the best game this year and one of the greatest games in history.

    p.s.
    I would give it an 8 but I am giving it a 10 to counterbalance the basement trolls giving it a 0 just because if they see gay people in a story they automatically start with: "It'S aN aGeNda oF tHe SjW MaInStReAm MeDiA, I jUsT wAnTeD tO kIlL pEoPlE wItH JoEl CaUsE hE's A dUdE aNd I'm A dUdE, If My ChArAcHtEr iSn'T a StRaIgHt DuDe I cAn'T rElAtE, AnYoNe dIfFeReNt FrOm mYsElF mAkEs Me UnCoMfOrTaBlE", grow the f#### up.    … Expand

    No comments actually, sorry.

    Not mad about what happened, mad about HOW it happened and WHEN. Storytelling was a TOTAL DISASTER, there is not a loose end that you can actually grab and say: "THIS PART IS WORTH IT!" LOL

    Graphics are one of the best tho but since this is a story-base game, they still deserve a 0.

    Good graphics. Good voice acting. But the story really ruins this game. It tarnished my memories of the first one. Plus they deceived fans in the trailers. If I can't enjoy the story I can't enjoy the positives of this game. I was so excited for this game. Now I'm sad I played it. I regret it. Not even about the money at this point.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра вызвала бурю эмоций и чувств. Очень деятельно проработанный мир, истории персонажей, локации игры и поведение противников - всё это заставляет поверить в реальность происходящего. Всё что происходит на экране не чувствуется игрой, это всё буд-то происходит на самом деле. По ходу игры мы чувствуем абсолютно разные чувства разных людей, благодаря чему тонко понимаем каждого персонажа. Во время музыки в финальных титрах на глаза наворачиваются слёзы, непередаваемые ощущения и чувства, именно чувства- как буд-то бы всё это произошло с тобой, как буд-то это ты сам чувствуешь всю эту горечь и печаль, всю эту ответсетственность, ту тяжесть решений которые ты принял, тех поступков которые совершил. Тебе хочется утешить Элли, сказать что всё будет хорошо, ты понимаешь как ей сейчас тяжело, когда тех кто мог бы утешить больше нет рядом. Финал я играл со слезами на глазах, потому что всё это чувство мести, которое мы пронесли внутри себя, оно померкло на фоне тех ужасов, которые мы повидали в пути. В то же время мы понимаем что из-за своего чувства мести, из-за своей одержимости, ты сломал жизни сотен людей, забыв о детском желании спасти всё человечество и о готовности отдать свою жизнь ради него... В геймплейном плане игра так же наполнена реализмом - например ножевой бой, который построен на тактике реального уличного боя- Элии держит руки близко к телу, и использует нож как колющий предмет, а не как пачете. Взаимодействие противников- противники явно имеют тактику- они окружают тебя постпенно и действуют сплоченно, использую разные тактики одновренно. Осталяют в ужасе оменты когда при смерти одного, ты слышишь как кто-то в выкрикивает имя убитого, ты понимаешь что убил живого человека, что только что его кто-то потерял. Когда ты убиваешь собак и слышишь как хозяин выкрикивает имя своего питомца, ты понимаешь что убил не животное, а чьего-то друга, который просто пытался защитить человека которого любил. Физика повреждений вышла на новый уровень, за что отдельная благодарность разработчикам, потому что видно что они поработали с реальными фотографиями криминалистов. Разные виды оружия наносят совершенно разный урон. Брызги разбитые стекла от выстрелов, мозги на стене выглядят потрясающе реально. Отдельно хочется отметить дизайн уровней и в частности проработку растительности и света - в этой игре можно просто наслаждать видами, благодаря тому что нет экранного интерфейса, что переводит этот контент из разряда игры в что-то среднее между игрой и фильмом. Эта игра, не смотря на все её ужасы- учит состраданию и любви. Эту игру я никогда не забуду, саундтрэк на всегда будет вызывать во мне самые тёплые чувства. Огромное спасибо разработчика, это приключение, которое запомнится на всю жизнь.… Expand

    A masterpiece in storytelling, visuals and world design. A raw and visceral tale of the dualities of good and evil, justice and revenge.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us: Part II is proof that video games can offer the most profound and insightful story experiences of any medium, a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay.

    The gameplay, music, performances, etc are all incredible and unforgettable. For this reason alone, the game is fantastic. But the reactions to the story have rocked me to my core. I believe no game has challenged the player to grapple with its themes and conflicts more than this game, which is primarily through its story.

    I'll put it bluntly: Part II is a masterpiece of storytelling because of the very criticisms that people have about the game, not despite them.

    In my opinion, people are upset that the game isn't what they expected, and are misconstruing change with a bad story. If the game were exactly like the first, then what is the point of making a sequel, especially as a sequel for a game with a nearly perfect ending? As I said, Part II is a masterpiece of storytelling because of the very criticisms that people have about the game. Since Ellie and Joel are the protagonists, we want them to be morally justified, we want them to live. Like Ellie, we begin the game traumatically watching Joel die, someone who we have waited years to reconnect with, and we are drawn into her quest for revenge.

    Ellie's section is filled with stellar gameplay and touching flashbacks where she grapples with the realization of what Joel did in Salt Lake City. With each murder of Abby's friends, we watch her devolve into a monster, and it feels justified nearly the entire time. The scene in the Aquarium, when Ellie realizes Mel was pregnant, demands that we think about Ellie's actions. We then end on the major cliffhanger in the theater, and suddenly, we're Abby, a monster, a villain. Ellie's nearly guaranteed death hangs over us and haunts us.

    But then Abby's section begins, and the game doesn't just humanize her and her motivations. The game demands that we empathize with her and that we question our assumptions about justice. Joel murdered Abby's dad, and thus Abby murdering Joel is completely justified if we use Ellie's quest as a standard, and probably moreso given that the game once again asks us to grapple with the moral dilemma of saving Ellie instead of producing the vaccine. Ellie grapples with this as well, feeling like her life would have had value if only she had died in the hospital. Having killed Joel, Abby is struggling and suffering, standing as proof that revenge cannot eliminate her trauma and bring her closure. We then see Ellie's journey in a completely new and upsetting light.

    The game is not asking you to side with Abby or to consider her to be a good person, though you may. The game is using the characters as foils of each other to make a greater and incredibly clear statement about the cycle of violence. We learn to view Mel, Owen, Nora, etc as people who act in a very similar way to Ellie's friends. So who is right, who is wrong? Who will "win?" Who deserves to die, and what is the point of any of this? The game constantly forces you to consider and then reconsider its characters' actions in a way that is rarely seen. We grow and develop as Ellie and Abby do, which is stunning compared to other video games.

    The feelings and thoughts going through my head as I reentered the theater, this time as Abby, are feelings that I have never felt in a game and can't put into words. As a player, I was rooting for Abby here, not hoping that she would kill Ellie, but that she would find her humanity and break the cycle of violence. I felt the same way with Ellie in Santa Barbara. The ending of the game, in which visions of the moment she began to forgive Joel are interlaced with her nearly killing Abby, proves to us that what Ellie needed was to come to terms with Joel's death and his decision to save her in Salt Lake City. Murdering Abby would not have helped, in the same way that murdering Joel did not help Abby cope with her own trauma.

    I was worried about whether a sequel was justified to Part I. However, after playing Part II I've decided that the only reason that the story felt finished to us is because we didn't care about the people Joel senselessly murdered in Salt Lake City. We didn't care about Abby's dad. They weren't the protagonists, they weren't important, so the story ends with no loose ends. But Part II rejects these assumptions and goes above and beyond Part I's moral dilemma. Alongside stellar gameplay, performances, music, art, and environments, Part II demands questions of justice, revenge, identity, violence, grief, trauma, bias, and moral ambiguity in a stunning and unforgettable way. No game has ever demanded so much from the player, and Part II elevates video games to a peak that surpasses most movies and books. No game is perfect, but to call The Last of Us Part II anything short of a masterpiece is to criminally underrate it.    … Expand

There will be a lot of exploration just like the first game so if that was not an aspect you enjoyed the first time, this game might not be too fun for you. Another thing that surprised me is how much actual game there was here. moments where you are locked to walking and just hearing character dialogue are mostly embedded into the exploration this time around so you can hear the dialogue and move at your own pace (although the first 2 hours of the game are quite slow in this regard). total play time was 26 hours and 7 minutes, the longest linear game i have ever played.

    Graphics - 10: probably the best ive seen on console and possibly the best anywhere and shockingly i never had a frame rate drop with this game and i am playing on a base ps4.

    Story - 9: Definitely the only part of this game responsible for the controversies around it but I truly enjoyed the story. It is dark, gritty, bold, and extremely unpredictable throughout. The only issue with the story is within the last level where the game feels like it had some content cut for time as it feels rushed.

    Overall - The game far surpassed my expectations and is one of my favorite games this generation. The story might put people off if there are expectations held too high since this game will be about perspective, understanding, and acceptance. The gameplay was extremely fun and brutal, the game is unbelievably long for its genre, double the length of the first game, and I truly am excited for what comes next after its controversial ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To talk about The Last of Us 2, you have to begin with The Last of Us. The story was incredible, with likeable characters. The beginning and end both brought tears to my eyes. The world was beautiful, the story incredible and the gameplay was solid for its time. The last of Us 2 had a beautiful world, maybe the prettiest on PS4. Gameplay has not really moved on since the last game and it felt dated. Also, the world felt empty at times. The story and character are both trash. I put them in one group, because they are related. The old characters are almost unrecognisable, only in the flashbacks you get a Last of Us feeling. The new characters are not likable, either because they are written poorly, or because they are to briefly in the game. I get the feeling they changed the story mid development and this also killed a lot of character development.

    Also this games feels very manipulative. And that is not a bad thing. Good writing is manipulating your feelings, whilst not making you feel manipulated. This game is so obvious in its manipulating, it takes you out of the game. I must admit the death of Joel felt **** and made me hate the game for a moment, but the could have saved it with good writing. The didn’t. They made you playing as Abby. Abby is a weirdly unlikable character and they make you play as her for a good portion of the game. First I thought I didn’t like her because she killed Joel, but I could understand where she is coming from, so that was not all of it. Was it because she looked weird? I would like to think I am more enlightened than that. But I did like the MMA fighter in the Mandalorian(edit: Gina Carano) and found here believable. After finishing the game I found out they used the body model from a female weightlifter/athlete, the face of a second women and the voice of an third women. They created an uncanny valley effect I couldn’t get over. I think it can be done well, this was not it. But in the end it doesn’t matter. I didn’t care about the characters, I didn’t care about the story, I didn’t care about the game.

    I lost my job of 20 years the week before this came out, so as a fan of part 1, I was excited I had the time to play this game. This game made me feel worse than losing my job. Neil Druckmann: “The Last of Us 2 is not meant to be fun.”. Well Neil, mission accomplished.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was really dissapointed! The graphics are amazing, but the thing that caught my eye about TLoU1 was the amazing story, - the relationship between Joel and Ellie, the character build-up and the way they don't act as "heroes", but they act human. (Joel, saving Ellie, even though it was selfish, it was human! We grew to love her and also didn't want to sacrifice her!) We waited so long for TLoU2 and we got this?! One of the most loveable characters, just killed with a golf club? Him, giving his identity to a stranger is way out of character! Totally not a way Joel would act! Then, we have to play as the same person that killed Joel, and we have to try and kill the character we grew to love SO MUCH? And you expect us to just feel good about playing as her and betray our favourite characters? In the first game, when the moment came, we didn't want to sacrifice Ellie. Why would we want to kill her now? Why would we want to play as the character that murdered the fan-favourite? You worked so hard and I recognize that. But we waited so long, had our hopes up for another story with our beloved characters - the duo, Joel and Ellie. Why did you think it would be a good idea to force us to play as Abby? I rate it a three, because of the graphics. I refuse to play.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
