    Gameplay 10/10 : It builds on the gameplay of the first game and completely refines it, making it much more fluid in combat and stealth.

    Graphics 10/10 : The graphics are simply spectacular, although they are not the best I have seen, there is no other game that is above this on a technical and visual level that can move a ps4.

    The facial animations are perfect, work as detailed as this is rarely or rarely seen. Is incredible

    The Last of Us part 2 is a phenomenal game in nearly all aspects including storytelling, gameplay, and graphics would definitely recommend.

    The last of us part 2 is the best game I've played till now. And I loved and cared for ALL the characters. It's just a piece of art that represents so many things like LGBT ppl, Love, Hate, Vengence, Violence, Forgiveness and Moving on. This is so rare in the game industry which is filled with nonsense stories and shooters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a game that received a lot of criticism over its story. Some of it coming from a place of love and grief over losing Joel; some of it from anger at having to play part of the game as Abby - the girl that killed Joel. However, most of it just seems to be coming from people that have an animus toward either NaughtyDog, Neil Druckman or Sony. I have one question to everyone in the latter camp - if another studio, director, corporation developed this game would you have the same feelings about it? It all seems a bit manufactured at this point to me. All the outrage, all the bad review scores, the videos of people getting bent out of shape and rage quitting/trashing the game over its story or gameplay - it’s getting old. So here is my informed opinion on why this game is great. First, the story - let’s get it out of the way. Yes, Joel dies; yes, you play as his killer - Abby. None of that makes the story, or the game inherently bad. You might not like the fact Joel dies, you might not like being put into the shoes of Abby, but everything in the game works to craft a compelling narrative experience. Playing the game is essential to appreciating the story in this case as well; you have to be the one engaged in the action, controlling the characters and experiencing their joy, pain and loss right alongside them. Sharing in their triumphs and failures brings you closer to them, just like in TLoU. If you just passively watch the game’s cinematics instead of experiencing them after controlling the characters to that point, you miss out on the attachment you form... The bond you build. Even for me to describe my experience with the story would be too much to detail here. Instead, I will try to be brief; the story is one that is better experienced by actually playing through the game rather than reading a review of one persons opinions or watching someone else play the game just so you can see what happens next. Seriously, you may come away loving the story (as I did) or maybe you get done and you absolutely hate it (or possibly something in between). Either way you owe it to yourself to come to a conclusion on your own with respect to the story. Honestly, it is going to come down to your taste for stories like this. Next is the gameplay, all I have to say here is it is better in every way over the first one. Shooting feels improved with better hit and kill indicators, less general sway to weapons when aiming, expanded and improved crafting, character skills and weapon upgrading. Environments are more beautiful with so much more details packed into every square block of downtown Seattle. Enemies show entrance and exit wounds after being shot, especially in the head. Throw an explosive at them and they will probably be torn apart as legs and viscera go flying all around. These violent expressions are probably why the combat/gunplay feels so damn fun. You relish scavenging for supplies because you know it means you will get more parts to upgrade your weapons; or maybe you find supplements that give you new abilities to keep a healthy supply of bombs and trap mines crafted and in you inventory. Not to mention this game has the most extensive accessibility and gameplay customization options I have ever seen. It is basically designed to be playable even if you are deaf and blind... So yeah. This game does so much better for the actual gameplay. I think this is not debatable at all. So if you are a fan of the gameplay in the first title, this one will leave you breathless and yearning for more. Overall, the game does play somewhat differently from the first, but there is enough in common, that it makes you feel right at home. I will try to wrap this up with some of my favorite things that the game delivered for me. 1. Incredible story that griped me and had me exploring my emotions and re-evaluating my stance on characters. 2. Combat is beautifully violent and such a pleasure to start mastering to develop your own tactical approach to encounters. 3. The music is so sharp and only serves to enhance the tone and attitude the game is evoking. 4. Top notch environments with stunning scenery, characters and graphics. This game will hold the spot as favorite so far this year. So I really hope this helps you decide on whether to pick it up or not. If you do/did and the story is wearing on you, understand it is supposed to, but if you really don’t like it - I am sorry. I know it might not be for everyone, but thankfully you can skip cutscenes and pretend it didn’t happen. Now if you don’t like the gameplay/were only in it for the story... this is your cue to avoid the game then. Hopefully, if that’s the case, you didn’t commit to buying it outright and just rented a copy/borrowed from a friend. I seriously love this game and hope with time people go back and revisit it with a fresh perspective and give the story a chance; I think there will be a newfound love for TLoU pt II Expand

    Let’s be honest, the game is close to perfection. The emotional rollercoaster you experience is like nothing else. If people don’t agree with the story, please stop reading books. Take the stories as the writer made them. The acting of the characters is so good and the switch between a cutscenes and gameplay is like it should be. Naughty Dog, please don’t never change!

    This game is worthy of 5 stars. It is a beautiful game to look at and play! It made me feel such a range of emotions, from crying with sadness, squealing in glee and shouting at the TV as it had made me jump for the 50 millionth time!

    The theme of this game is revenge and how that emotion can build up inside a person and has the potential to destroy everything. I think to enjoy this

    The theme of this game is revenge and how that emotion can build up inside a person and has the potential to destroy everything.
    I think to enjoy this game fully you need to have the ability to empathize with all the characters in the game, yes, it didn't end how I wanted it too but that doesn't mean I hate it, far from it. As the game progressed Characters I hated I grew to love and characters I loved I grew to despair, that is the power of good writing and a good story.

    Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey are amazing actors and deserve so much praise for what they achieved. All the actors do, it was like being immersed in a movie for 13 nights in a row.
    All I can say to people reading this review is to please play the game and make your own opinion. If even you wait a year so get it cheaper, just please go on this journey.

    My only negative....why do I have to open so many draws only to have nothing inside it?! haha.

То что в эту игру приплели лгбт - никаким образом не портило мне игру, только перекачанная Эбби первые часы немного раздражала. Игра отличная и подарила мне кучу эмоций. Повествование делится на 2 части, и как по мне, первая половина сильно проигрывает второй и она достаточно затянутая, но в целом она у меня оставила только положительные эмоции. Лично я не чувствовал, что меня заставляют делать то, что мне не нравится, как некоторые пишут, мне наоборот было очень интересно наблюдать за происходящим на экране. Все геймплейные механики выточены на ура, работа проведена колоссальная. Деталей куча. Управление героем ощущается на каком то невероятно тактильном уровне, я прям чувствовал каждое движение Элли, каждый шаг. Отдача от оружия чувствуеца на кончиках пальцев, удары ближнего боя э мега сочные и прекрасно поставленные, от самих приемов до операторского ракурса, все великолепно. Атмосфера.. Атмосфера передана великолепно, особенно пугающие места здесь сделаны просто потрясно. После каждого боя с зараженными, выходил с трясущимися руками. Сюжет к сожалению может многих разочаровать, но как по мне он хоть и уступает оригиналу, но не в коем случае не плох. Вторая половина игры, заставила меня испытать кучу эмоций, а концовка вывела на долгие размышления. После прохождения я понял на сколько все в этой игре получили по заслугам, и каждый ответил за свои действия. Я рекомендую эту игру, но строго не рекомендую ожидать много от нее, иначе можно совсем разочаровываться! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really loved the concept of switching out characters mid game. I got to understand the perspective of the "villiian" and realise that she was just the same as Ellie. So many people leaving bad reviews just can't get past the black and white / good guy / bad guy separation. Maybe move on from Disney and open your mind to something a bit more grown up.

    The gameplay was a bit too similar to the original but the world was just gorgeous. I found it a lot harder to get past some of the bosses than the original too.

    The story was really well done - it was a roller coaster of emotions. If you don't like feeling really really bad and really really sad...maybe not the game for you.

    The Last Of Us Part 2 is the most artistic masterpiece i have ever laid my hands on.

    The environment and the level design in this game is crafted to such an incredible detail that makes it the most beautiful game on the PS4 right now and yes, even more so than Death Stranding.

    The enemy AI design is something that is innovated in a never before seen approach which adds new behaviours and they are much more intelligent and cognitive which make you try out different scenarios and continuously change your position.

    Now, let's talk about the story. The story indeed takes a darker turn but still have some very beautiful moments to balance out all the lows. This story captivates the reality and practicality of the situation the characters are in and tough choices they had to make in them. These choices also have consequences that cannot be undone.
    Without spoiling the story, I would just say that the game lays out different perspective of the characters and justifies the path they take.

    This is a very emotional journey that I recommend anyone with a PS4 to experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's actually embarrassing, that you can "review" a game without Having played it. So many reviews from the same day the game came out, when the game clearly is 20+ hours.

    With that being said. It's hard for me to imagine people not understanding this game. A beautiful game that shows exactly how different people are.
    We have to understand how they try to squish in the theme, not only "forgiveness", but also how people cope with loss and pain.
    I think that flew over the head of a lot of the younger "reviewers".
    The game isn't trying to make us "like" Abby. It's just trying to show that not all is black and white, but with the combination of amazing Animation, it was way more personal and gritty, putting a knife through someones throat that is playing a video game on their phone. We have experienced so much violence in movies and in games. That makes it easy to shoot the *bad* guy.

    In the beginning of the game, we see how Joel is talking to Tommy about something he has done.
    Something he has never talked with anybody about in his life. Something that has been weighing on him.

    As we hear Dina say later that Ellie probably should talk to her about her feelings/about what happened. Ellie mentions that Joel wouldn't have done that.
    That's exactly the problem with both Joel and Ellie. Of course they are imperfect characters, they don't know how to cope with their problems, and since Ellie was "raised" by Joel, she would never have really understood how to cope with extreme emotion.
    Through the game we then experience her frustration. To begin with, you can say that she definitely wants revenge, but through her story it was also a way to cope with her loss. Was she going to sit home in Jackson? Impossible, she had never learned to mourn anybody, and the only way she can combat the pain, is by anger and hatred.
    This brings us to Abby's part. We see what she went through by Joel's hand.
    Joel single handedly stopped the cure for the entire world. He is not a good guy. He is just a guy.
    Who puts his own selfishness and pain over ANY other human being.
    Playing as Abby is definitely a shock and confuses the player. That's exactly the kinds of emotion only this game could bring to such an extreme.
    I loved Abby's part, though it was a bit exhausting playing as her since we just played as Ellie, and frankly we would just get back to her, but over time it really shone through how normal all these people are.

    The end of the game, where we are the cabin, everything is "perfect".

    Ellie can't let go and just like his brother, Tommy can't either.
    Ellie hasn't coped with her loss still, after so much death, she still hasn't brought pain to Abby(She feels like) As Abby has to her. As the player we kinda beg for her to stop, we are Dina in this scenario.

    That brings us the the very last scene.
    Abby is weak, she has been through hell.
    Ellie let's her go, and then they are at the boats.

    But Ellie just feels this void in her heart, she doesn't know what to do with it, other than fight it out.

    She never learned to cope, only her own way, she never really learned to forgive. But she was going to try.
    So in the end she wasn't forgiving Abby. She was coming to terms that she was forgiving Joel.

    Maybe this game isn't a 10/10, it's definitely close. But because of the abundance of troll reviews, that wants a "new" game that is different, but when it's given to them, they cry.
    So yeah A 10/10 game.

As for me, the first and second part would be ideal to combine together, because it is a whole story that will cause you a storm of emotions if you penetrate it. The only thing I want to say about the plot is that the scriptwriters revealed each character, thereby forcing us, the players, to rethink the question once again: “where is the truth?”, “And who is right?” NaughtyDog created an amazing game.

Even if you don't like the direction the story went, the gameplay and graphics are incredible. I didn't see any bugs, the fighting mechanics were top notch, and the gunplay was unforgiving in the best way possible.

    I think there is a number of people who wanted to make decisions in the story themselves, and when our protagonists had the final say, the player found them to be poor choices. You may have loved these characters a lot and found yourself heartbroken over their decision making, but I think that means you never understood who they really were, who they have become, or their internal struggles in the first place.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Druckman said the story is about hate and revenge, to me it is a story about forgivness or the missed chance to forgive and the realization that allowing grief to is a way to heal . Ellie is angry not only because she is driven by revenge but also because she wasn't able to properly forgive Joel before he died. So she wasn't able to properly grieve and let hate drive her.
    The story is awesome and multiayered and even though I was hesistant to play Abby in the beginning I came to like her and feel empathy towards her.
    Killing her in the end would not have made Ellie satisfied, but forgiving did!
    The game gave me everything I hoped for in a game: Anticipation, tension, fear, humor, sadness, every now and then horror and in the end it doesn't let you go and gives you something to think about.

    2. Gameplay - is interesting and varied. I personally used almost the entire arsenal that I had.
    3. History - is not so simple with that. You will understand this, as the developers planned, only when you start looking at Ellie from a different perspective.
    introducing a new game character is very risky, but Naughty Dog were able to show and reveal the character very well! If you look at him not biased!
    4. Character growth - Yes! in contrast to the first part.
    So to enjoy the game, you need to play on high difficulty and not be biased to follow the story itself and consider the characters from a different angle.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a master piece!
    I have read some poor comments about this game, all I have to say is...what an immature collection of people!
    In this review I will not discuss the development of graphics or mechanics of this game, because they are just perfect, has is the sound, environment and voice acting!- Congratulations from a Software Engineer.
    I will although defend the story of this amazing game, a story that everyone seems to miss the point. I am tired of classic stories where a character we love gets killed and we have to simply avenge him, this story is a lot of things, but simple is not one them!
    I found myself not wanting to see what the game had to show me, not because of negative things, but because this game touched my feelings like no game has ever done before! This game doesn’t just tell the story of Joel and Ellie but puts the player in the mind of the people that are actually in an apocalypse! You start the game angry and wanting revenge for what happen to Joel, you follow Ellie’s point of view, where everything you are doing seems right! You think “These people deserve it”!
    But then the game touches in your deep feelings and twists them by making you play with Abby...”what a low blow”... I first thought, but it was in fact genius! Abby is so much like Ellie, and more than that...she is so much like Joel! When you get to the end of Abby’s days in the beautiful city of Seattle, you end up with the fact that...”damn...she is actually a good person”...and so are the kids from the Scars and so is Ellie and Joel...and that’s where the simulation of the apocalypse comes in...the main characters of this story are not bad people at all...just people fighting for different things in a **** up world...
    I ended this game having to admit to myself that if anyone acted badly...was my favorite character...Joel...love makes you choose in a selfish way...
    The end of this game...is about grief...and both Ellie and Abby lost more then they gain with revenge...Abby lost her friends, Ellie lost the opportunity of a family and happiness...but in the end she managed to make piece and say goodbye to Joel in a last song...just...beautiful...
    Such an original story...like I have never seen before, I could never predict anything on this game!
    It’s time that games enter in a new era, with new stories and emotions! And it’s time that us, gamers, open our minds for what the game has to show us and not for what we wanted to see!
    Naughty Dog...thank you!

What at first appears to be a rather generic plot that is told well, with an incredibly bold move in killing off a beloved character, transforms into something quite remarkable. I’ve never played a game before that is so provocative, ambitious, relevant, challenging and bold in its execution. It tests the very fabric of the players sense of morality and hits with a profound sentiment. The game is borderline Shakespearean in its approach to the human condition in a way that gaming could only attempt. A true testament in the evolution of gaming, I feel this title is further proof that gaming is the best platform for art in history. It’s a game you have to experience, watching it or reading a review doesn’t do it justice, because it is a story to provoke and test you the individual. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People who hate on this game and say that it is poorly written is clearly stuck with Hollywood endings. This is a post-apocalyptic world where it is dark and unsafe. I really really appreciate how this game is so close to reality especially how amazing the graphics and sounds are. It is true that the way ND told the story may not work for everybody but it worked for me. I was so emotionally attached to the characters, though there are some that need more spotlight like Jesse. But nonetheless, I was wrecked for days after playing it.

    Like what Neil explained Joel felt safe for years, he got used in saving people and bringing them in Jackson. After many years of feeling safe and comfort, of course, there will be moments where you'll let your guard down. Besides, though his intentions of saving Ellie is good but let's face it, what he did was wrong.... killing a bunch of people and loses the chance of having a cure. ND left us with Part 1 thinking if Joel's actions were justifiable. It felt so badass and right at the time so it didn't matter until we got a part 2. In this world, you will not die in a heroic/honorable way you imagined, you just die and sometimes it is because of the choices you made in the past.

    I understand that it would be very difficult to play as Abby after what just happened. I even killed her on purpose in the first few minutes but in order to really feel and fully experience what ND prepared for us, we just have to have an open mind. I honestly got tired playing as her after her Day 1 and really want to be back as Ellie but again, I allowed myself to experience the game and the emotions. Only at the theater scene I realized I was attached to Abby. I didn't want her to die but I also didn't want Ellie to die (but I let Ellie shoot Abby a few times just to get even haha). ND really did a bold move there, letting players think that you'd kill Ellie as Abby. It tore me apart, I was so confused. Every punch hurts. But that is also brilliant! Never have I played a game that made me feel that way, that played with my emotions like that.

    Ellie already have a great life with Dina and JJ until Tommy showed up. I was shocked to see that many people didn't get why Ellie chose to go after Abby. I mean given the trauma she has, the mock she received from Tommy and knowing that there is still this lingering feeling in your chest that you could do something to make it stop. That is enough reason to blindside me of what is in front of me and what I have to lose. And people ask why she didn't kill Abby? Did you guys look how shook she was after killing Nora, Owen and Mel? And look at Abby and Lev. Ellie knows she's not a bad person and killing Abby will lose the last humanity left in her. Joel wouldn't want this for her too.

    Sometimes, we think that what we are doing is right but you'll only realize that it is wrong once you are there at that very moment.

    I think that's what happened, that's why she didn't do it. It's just depressing to see that she had to lose everything to see that. But that's what makes this game so realistic. In reality, you make bad decisions and you face the consequences.

    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...
