    I'll make this simple..dont listen to these people hating on this game. They havent played it. This is clear.
    This game is nothing short of a masterpiece. It IS one of the greatest games of all time. The acting is award worthy. The grapics are almost too realistic. Ive played many games and have never seen graphics look THIS GOOD. The gameplay is greatly improved from the first game.

Ive played many games and have never seen graphics look THIS GOOD. The gameplay is greatly improved from the first game. When you kill someone in this game, you feel the weight of it, and I have never felt that in a game before. If you thought the first game was intense, this takes it to another dimension.
    Now, about those "leaks".
    Yeah, some of them were true. Yet..it doesnt affect the game. Sorry, not sorry. If you are that affected by "LGBT" or "a tranny with a golf club", youre just ignorant. YOU DONT LIKE THE STORY BECAUSE IT DIDNT GO YOUR WAY!
    That is all it is. This is a game set in the middle of the end of the world. What did you expect? Sunshine and rainbows?

    Game is again..a masterpiece.
    This isnt a debate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *if it weren’t for the average score of 3.9, I’d give this game an 8 but I’ve chosen to change that to a 10 to help boost the rating more.

    The Last of Us Part ii delivered a great gaming experience for me. Despite some very controversial plot points, I overall enjoyed playing this game. It took me a couple days to complete with a playtime of around 26 hours so I doubt a lot of the users giving this game negative reviews have even played through the game fully as they were only posted on the release day.

    Story: 6/10

    One of the weaker parts of this game. I questioned a lot of major plot decisions such as how the ending was left and killing off Joel. Joel’s death felt too rushed and insignificant for such an important character. It was sudden with not much buildup, and his death felt somewhat pathetic for such a strong character. It didn’t feel plausible, as I doubt Joel would usually trust strangers so easily. I felt this scene could’ve been handled a lot better.

    The decision to let Abby live at the end left me feeling rather unsatisfied. For Ellie to go through all the effort of hunting her down and killing lots of people on her journey for her to NOT kill the very person who murdered Joel came off as strange. The message of revenge not being the answer is good but.. just not in this case.

    My favourite aspects of the storytelling were by far the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie. These were handled very well and had me smiling all the way through. The bond between the two was shown perfectly. The pacing of the game was very nice (apart from Joel’s death feeling rushed) and left us with some beautiful moments like the first game did. A favourite of mine was Ellie playing the guitar to Dina.

    Gameplay: 9/10

    The gameplay was practically the exact same as the games predecessor, except with a few added mechanics. This isn’t really a complaint as I thoroughly enjoyed the first game’s gameplay.

    Loved the AI, as it felt like I was fighting against real people. Their walk cycles weren’t as predictable and the fact that they each had names and reacted to the deaths of their comrades and pet dogs was a nice touch. This almost had me feeling bad for them.

    Started off easy but started to incorporate harder battles about half way through.

    Graphics and Design: 9/10

    The graphics were stunning, as expected from Naughty Dog. Some scenes almost looked photorealistic. The lighting was especially great, setting a variety of moods for each scene.

    Areas felt somewhat linear, but this doesn’t bother me much as it’s a game focused on story over exploration. Each area was designed very well and I loved the small details inside the houses.

    Sound design and Music: 10/10

    The best part of the game. The music was beyond beautiful, capturing the feelings of each scene perfectly.

    Sound effects were also amazing and very immersive. Not much else to say here as it’s just perfect and I have no complaints.

    Characters: 7/10

    Contrary to popular opinion I love most of the characters. Ellie and Joel will always remain my favourites but Dina and Jesse were a nice addition to the game and I liked seeing them on scene and seeing them interact with Ellie.

    Only thing that brings down this score is Abby. She’s a god awful character who even though I’m supposed to have empathy for, all I feel is rage towards her. Having to play as her was unbearable as I hold so much hate for this character. She wasn’t likeable at all.

    Replayability: 7/10

    Gameplay was fun and I love playing as Ellie, but having to see Joel die again, playing as Abby and knowing how the game will end sort of ruins the experience a little. Give it time and perhaps I’ll play it again on a harder game mode. It’s worth playing again just for that one flashback at the dinosaur park to be honest.    … Expand

    TLOU2... where do I even begin.
    The experience of playing... no watching TLOU2 is on par with being forced to **** your wife in the ass, but the catch is she decided to never wipe again. it's like being forced to watch a women **** a dog in a porno and then write a 10/10 review for it because if you didnt you'd starve. swallowing Lester's ball sweat is far more enjoyable than watching this    TLOU2... where do I even begin.

It feels like making every wrong decision, but there was always a glimmer of hope that you'd finally make a right decision and everything would be okay. But that never happens. Playing TLOU2 is like having that one friend you always picked for everything in class. But then one day they decide to pick someone else and you're stuck with the girl who constantly hisses at everyone and talks about wanting to be a wolf. 10/10 would recommend    … Expand

    IMHO the main reason this game is getting hate is because the players didn't get the story they wanted. I get why people are upset about that but that doesn't make this a bad game. In fact, people feeling so strongly about this game just shows how amazing the story is in TLOU1 and TLOU2. You genuinely care about the characters and what happens to them. They are more than some 3D sprites inIMHO the main reason this game is getting hate is because the players didn't get the story they wanted. I get why people are upset about that but that doesn't make this a bad game. In fact, people feeling so strongly about this game just shows how amazing the story is in TLOU1 and TLOU2. You genuinely care about the characters and what happens to them. They are more than some 3D sprites in a video game, they are people you care about.

    Gameplay:
    Similar to the previous game but with a few additions. More of an evolution than a revolution. You get more weapons, the ability to go prone and more variability in encounters due to the environment. Also, certain enemies like dogs force you to change your tactics. However, it can be a litte repetitive. But mid-way through the game the gameplay changes up a fair bit. If you liked the first game’s gameplay, you will like this one too.
    Combat has significant weight to it; you aren’t just running and gunning like some unkillable soldier guy. The guns feel and sound the real thing. The shotgun kicks back like a mule and alerts everyone in the area. The bow is silent but need headshots if you want a kill and arrows are hard to come by. Every action in game requires a bit of planning and forethought and not just random shooting. On normal difficulty, stealth is pretty straightforward and easy; sometimes a little too easy.
    There are some other minor issues as well: too much micro exploring. Instead of taking in the beautiful vistas, you spend a lot of time looking at drawers and dark corners to find loot to craft items. Consider how essential these items are to combat, this is unavoidable. And this is probably the weakest part of an otherwise exceptionally good game.

    Art/Graphics:
    Everything in this game is incredibly detailed and feels so real. The lighting and scenery in some of the sequences like the subway are just top notch. Animation is likewise very detailed, and characters move life-like. Overall, one of the most beautiful games to date.

    Sound:
    The music and sounds are some of the best I have heard in a game. The sound design is excellent changes based on your environments: your footsteps are different when walking on concrete or sand. Rain sounds different if you are in back of truck or inside a building. The sounds enemies make when injured are intensely uncomfortable as they should be.
    Voice acting as with all naughty dog games is comparable to mainstream movies and sometimes better.

    Story: (This section has spoilers. They are marked)
    Games are quite unique among storytelling media in that it asks you to be an active participant and not simply go along for the ride. And Naughty Dogs is one of the best when it comes to storytelling using video games. The story of TLOU2 is probably the most divisive part of this game. Personally, l loved it. I am a huge fan of the first game and played it again just before playing this game. I feel that the story of part 2 does it justice and fits in the world of TLOU. It is very intense and sometimes outright unpleasant. I couldn’t stop thinking about it even when I stopped playing and I still can't. There are sequences in the game where you as a player do not want to do what the game asks you to do (and unlike something like the Witcher, you don't really have a choice). You have to accept the story that Naughty Dogs has decided to tell even when it is unpleasant. This has unfortunately led to a fair bit of backlash.
    *MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD*
    What happens to Joel was pretty much a guaranteed outcome even if the sheer brutality of the scene was a bit much. But it serves the narrative purpose of making us, the player ready to seek revenge. Also switching the perspective to Abby was likewise a great narrative choice and allows us to see the other side of the coin. Towards the end of the game, I just wanted Abby to live and would even go so far as to say that she had the moral high ground.
    *END OF SPOILERS*
    But this subversion of expectation is not something everyone appreciates (see also The Last Jedi). This possibly explains most of the backlash the game is getting and the disparity in audience and critic reviews. But if you are willing to give it a go, it will take you through one of the most compelling storytelling experiences in any media.    … Expand

O game passa uma experiência que nunca tinha sentido nos games, onde o ódio é vivido na pele, é algo pessoal e intimo para o jogador, e mais do que isso, o game te obriga a refletir sobre o seu ódio, ver se ele faz mesmo sentido, se vale o custo, se é inteligente, racional, ou se é apenas cego e animal. Certamente que muitos não esperavam uma obra com essa profundidade e queriam algo mais genérico, simples e divertido, e não tiro a razão, pois a maioria dos produtos são assim e é natural esperar apenas algo divertido.

Не стоит зацикливаться на том, что в начале умирает один из главных героев прошлой части и просто самый душевный персонаж серии, не стоит идти и поливать грязью игру, после того, как играешь за Эбби, эта игра глубже, чем кажется, она заставляет менять своё мнение о персонажах и не раз, а если осмыслить концовку, то она может много о чём сказать, у меня есть претенция к сюжету в том, как легко Джоэл заманился в засаду, это, по-моему мнению, единственная недоработка и нелогичность в сюжете.
    До прохождения самолично игры ожидал ЛГБТ-дерьмо с терминаторами на спидах, но оказалось совсем иначе если попытаться понять игру, а не проходить с твёрдым мнением.

If you're homophobic and sexist and refuse to play a game where the main character isn't a male and where most of the sex is non-heteronormative, you'll be unable to understand the plot of this game. If you are literally anyone else who actually paid attention to the story in part 1 and understand that Joel's actions were bound to have consequences and that Joel was a flawed human being, you'll be very interested in this game's storyline. The story is very innovative for this medium in that it makes the player think carefully about their character's actions and has you play as the villain almost as much as it has you play as the protagonist. At one point you play as the villain and defeat the protagonist. The game also draws comparisons between the villain and Joel and suggests that Joel is not so different from the woman who kills him. In fact, if Joel were in Abby's shoes, he undoubtedly would have done the same thing. Like Joel found Ellie, Abby finds Lev and grows as human being, finds a reason to live again. This is a game that really breaks new ground in storytelling. They found a way to tell a story that can only be done with a videogame. The exploration of how people deal with loss and the consequences is perfectly executed. It's also an intellectually, emotionally and morally challenging experience. Players who hate this game don't want a game that forces them to think critically.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a fantastic game, well worth the wait.
    I don’t understand all these negative reviews left, the majority being on the day of release, so they have barely played the game at all.
    people are complaining about the characters and how different Ellie is, they seem to have the image of the 14 year old girl from the first game... the fact that she is now a young adult (19/20) seems to confuse them, she is not going to be a standard young adult by today's standard as she grew up in a apocalyptic world...
    The game takes away the effect of being able to run in and gun everything down instead you have to think carefully about the encounters, and plan your moves carefully as one wrong decision could be the difference between life and death.
    The story is based on Ellie’s quest for revenger after the brutal murder of Joel, its more based on the physical and emotional effects of her decisions and actions, and you can see her character change due to this throughout the course of the game.
    I am speaking from knowledge of the game as i have completed it once and am now on my second play through.
    Now i admit there are things that could be done better and explained more, however the overall game is amazing, i also love the fact that they are diversifying with their characters with Ellie being gay and Dina being Bisexual, it just brings to light that just because there is an apocalypse doesn’t mean everyone will suddenly be heterosexual.
    Honestly i think Naughty Dog have done another fantastic game, i would recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Barely a review, it's more like a review of some negative reviews i've read)
    This game is a masterpiece in storytelling. A winning achievement for gaming, this is a story that couldn't be told as effectively any other medium. When i say masterpiece i don't imply that this isn't a game without faults, but in my experience, i'm yet to find a game that i can't find faults in. Even in games others consider masterpieces. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the game clouded an experience that had to be played without any sort of bias. The hate for the game dates back before any of the leaks had occurred. My theory regarding the reason for this i prefer not to discuss. The bottom line is that people were making dumb arguments before the game had come out, and soon the consensus became "bad game". It certainly didn't help that some people misremember/misinterpret the ending of the first one. They think that Joel is a good person that deserved nothing but the best, when the game makes it clear that Joel was a broken selfish man that admitted to murdering innocents for personal gain in the past. They try to justify his actions at the end, when Ellie herself condemns him for disrespecting her only dream in life. In short, it was never about Ellie, it was that he wasn't strong enough to make the right choice. People mistake the fact that he is an amazingly written likable character with him being a good person. This is all to say that, to me, and i think to any who understood the first game, his death was a logical event, justified by the story itself. If Ellie gets on the path of vengeance over the death of her parental figure, isn't it logical that there would be people wanting to kill Joel when he killed countless fathers? And not all of them were bad people. The main argument people will make is that his death was badly written or humiliating (well yes, sorry, this is a realistic setting, his death had meaning to his character and that's all that matters). This is incorrect, by any standard. But you've have probably heard it a million times, or experienced it yourself. Well this is the effect that bias has on people. I have written more than 6000 characters explaining why nothing about his death was badly written, or explaining any supposed "plot hole". I am yet to come across someone who can prove any plot hole. There's a 5000 character max for this review, so i can't post it. But just by watching the scene again i'm sure you can come to that same conclusion. "Joel gave his name like an idiot, he would never have done that" Wrong. Abby already knew his name. Tommy told her. Why? Well excuse Tommy for not thinking of a false name when being on the verge of being eaten by a horde with slim chances of survival. He just didn't imagine that he's talking to the daughter of a Firefly Joel murdered 4 years ago, and that she somehow knows where he lives, his name, but *not how he looks*. Other people will say that Joel wouldn't have trusted Abby. And i agree, until you watch the scene and realize there was literally no other choice. It was trusting her or dying. Literally. That was their best and only chance. That's what they say. Moving along, people say that it's stupid that Ellie doesn't kill Abby at the end. The context needed to explain this requires 25 hours of story that lead up to that moment. The reason is simple. Abby doesn't deserve to die because she has learned from her actions, feels guilt, and has paid a tremendous price (people often forget Ellie kills ALL of her friends and "boyfriend"). And then, she spared Ellie. For the second time. She proved merciful by not killing her at the start (because for her it was about justice, Joel deserved death, but let Ellie live, because she had nothing to do with it). And then she proved merciful once again, because she knows she doesn't win anything by killing her, it will just make things worse, even if Ellie killed everyone she cared about. And then you have Ellie's side, where she gradually realizes that she has become a monster, a torturer, no better than Abby herself, someone who would hurt her loved ones if it meant getting revenge. She says so herself, at some point, it stopped being about Joel. She knows she can't justify what she's doing, and so she spares Abby, because she knows it won't bring Joel back. If anything, it will kill whatever trace of humanity Joel left in her.
    And still, there's so much to say, so much to explain, justify, because people just can't get enough of hating the game. Some hate the game for external reasons, some hate it because they heard it's bad, some hate it because they played it but didn't give it a fair chance, some hate it because they didn't understand the first one, and some hate it because of justifiable reasons. I could make an equally long review all of the virtues of the game, and some criticisms that i have, but hey, who will even read it. I just wished they had given the game a fair chance. Have a nice day.    … Expand

    The visuals are out of this world and envoirments are huge with an insane attention to details.Every few minutes I had to stop and take the view in, not to mention how every place is packed with notes/items that tell stories of the people who once lived there.


    I was initially dissapointed with the story after reading all the leaks and the ending and even considered cancelling my preorder, but I couldn't because I pre-downloaded it, so I went into it expecting a great game with a terrible story.I was very, very wrong.Once I saw how everything unfolds I was blown away, the story is great, characters are extremly well written and even the ending, wich to me seemed irredeemable, turned out to be amazing.I'm never trusting leaks ever again, I can't believe I almost didn't play this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is pure art. I don’t necessarily need to be happy with the events that happen in a game, movie or series. I was incredibly moved by the story, and have never been more invested in a game. And because of how much i care about this game, I will try to justify the two big events of the story that alot of people have a problem with. This is a story about hate and loss, and I think the choices Naughty Dog took with Joel’s death and letting Abby go, was necessary for the story. The death of Joel put Ellie on a revenge mission, and will kill anything that gets in her way. I think that is completely understandable, and shows her incredible loss. She goes on a journey of hate, and only cares about getting to Abby, and therefore not showing any emotion other than hate towards her fellow Wolves. Abby lets Ellie live when they met at the theatre, and therefore shows that she is willing to let go of her hate in order to stop the killing. Also getting to play as Abby, seeing her humanity, and symathizing with her, is a fantastic part of the game. After that, Ellie and Dina lives quite happily on the farm with JJ, but Ellie still has severe problems with Joel’s death, and has a firm belief that killing Abby will make it stop. Dina knows the loss of what a journey of blind hate can make you lose, woth Jesse getting killed. She understands that it is not worth it, and has perspective on what is important. Ellie has not yet realized that fully. She finds Abby on the pole, and is kind of paralyzed when seeing her so weak. When getting memories of Joel, she is enraged and wants to fight, and has the opportunity to kill Abby. When getting another image of Joel, she stops. I think this is because she realizes how much she has lost, with Joel, Jesse, Dina and JJ because of this pure hate. There is simply no point anymore, she figures out that it wont resolve anything. It will only create more suffering. It is sad that alot of people had to die by her hand before she realized, but i dont think it makes the story or the game bad. My perception is that Ellie was clouded by hate for very long, and with time and distance, she subconsiously left that hate behind her, and when she finally had the chance, her hate was gone. I don’t feel good or fulfilled by the ending, but it makes sense. This game moved me and made me think, that is what i think great art is about.… Expand

Technically, it's better in every aspect you could imagine: stunning graphics, probably the best we'll ever get to see on current hardware, beautiful scenery and fantastic level design which opens up so many different possibilities for you to solve the situations you encounter. It's also longer than the original, and I mean that in the best possible way. TLOU2 is remarkably generous. It's packed full of diverse content and unique scenarios which are overflowing with detail.

    If I had to critique one thing I'd say Naughty Dog were a bit lazy with the character progression mechanism. In TLOU2, pills to unlock new character skills and nuts and bolts to upgrade our weapons make a reappearance, which is a bit out of place in such a grounded game where absolutely every single other mechanic and items we use has a purpose and fits perfectly into the world we're playing in and the story the came is unravelling before us.

    I will say no more as I could write pages upon pages about the virtues of this game. If you're looking for a bold, adult, thought-provoking story complemented with solid gameplay and you happen to own a PS4, I cannot recommend this game enough. And if you don't own a PS4, this game is definitely worth the purchase!    … Expand

    I have never experienced these many emotions in a video game, even rarely in other medias. The game made me feel anger, sadness, hatred, happiness, grief, scare, calm, hesitation, and so much more. Many times, multiple emotions are mixed together at the same time.
    It is a masterpiece and must play if you like good stories and can keep an open mind.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game seven years in the making, the long awaited follow up to what is widely considered one of the best games of the last decade.

    Let me start by saying I think the story is amazing. I go much more in to the nitty gritty in my full review on my YouTube channel DotakuHUB but here I will just say that while there were completely personal issues I had with the    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game seven years in the making, the long awaited follow up to what is widely considered one of the best games of the last decade.

    Let me start by saying I think the story is amazing. I go much more in to the nitty gritty in my full review on my YouTube channel DotakuHUB but here I will just say that while there were completely personal issues I had with the structure of the story and placement of certain scenes, I think on the whole the narrative was wonderfully crafted. The story made me feel the entire range of emotions. Happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, all of it and there were parts where I felt really uncomfortable and even hated what was happening but that was the whole point. Its meant to make you feel uncomfortable, it's meant to challenge you. The long and short of it is that its not an easy story to experience but that's the whole idea.

    Graphically I mean, do I even have to say anything? This game is probably one of the most gorgeous games I have ever played if not THE most gorgeous. Sure its not my personal all time favorite from a stylistic standpoint, that’d be Bloodborne, but it is impossible to argue that this game in terms of pure graphical fidelity isn't absolutely jaw dropping. From the textures on things like Ellie's backpack, to the heaps of little details added to enhance character and weapon models, to the insanely dense environments, to the best in class lighting this game looks fantastic. Much like I couldn’t believe that Part 1 was running on a PS3 I can’t believe Part 2 is running on a PS4 and I can’t wait to see it running even better on the PS5.

    The sound design is great. This has some of the most immersive sound design in any game I’ve ever played. The sounds of the various weapons and enemies, the sounds of the surrounding world, the various audio cues, all serve to add to the atmosphere and tone of the game. I also really enjoyed the st of the game, from the licensed tracks to the songs written specifically for the game. It's all really well done.

    Gameplay wise this will feel very familiar to the first. You gather resources, craft, upgrade yourself and your weapons all while sneaking around and or killing various threats from both the infected and human enemies. That said there are tons of small changes and tweaks that make the gameplay feel even more enjoyable this time around, at least for me. Ellie for example doesn't need to craft shivs, instead using her knife for quick stealth kills and instead of valuable resources being hidden behind shiv doors you have to use basic problem solving skills to get into some more out of the way areas. Weapon upgrades are no longer locked behind tool kits, instead you can unlock any available weapon upgrades so long as you have sufficient bolts. Almost on the flipside, player upgrades are now locked behind various training manuals in a light skill tree system to enhance your stealth, crafting, combat ext. Stealth has seen an enhancement thanks to the ability to go entirely prone and hide under various objects and in tall grass,which helps in doing away with many of the stereotypical waste high walls from the first game. Combat sees the addition of a dodge mechanic which really helps make melee combat much more plausible and something I actually used way more often this time around.

    Overall The Last of Us Part 2 is a more than worthy sequel to Part 1. It created an even more emotionally challenging narrative, the graphics were a massive leap forward, the sound design was top notch and the gameplay was familiar but still a significant improvement of what was there.    … Expand

    It saddens me that some gamers might be swayed by the unprecedented trolling that has taken place here. Yes, I am sure there are SOME actual, thoughtful negative reviews, but 99.9% of the 50,000 that are currently here have absolutely not played or purchased the game.

Yes, I am sure there are SOME actual, thoughtful negative reviews, but 99.9% of the 50,000 that are currently here have absolutely not played or purchased the game.

    I'm a mature gamer and took a HUGE hiatus from gaming after the masterpiece that was 'The Ocarina of Time'. 'The Last of Us' and the 'Uncharted' series were my gateway back to gaming and 'The Last of Us II' has now cemented itself as what I would consider the crowning achievement for what is possible with the art form that is game design. This game deserves a place on the mantel amongst all that we consider holy within the entertainment industry. That includes the best of modern literature, cinema, television, music...the amount of sheer ingenuity, creativity, obsessive attention to detail and love that went into the production of this game I can only begin to imagine. What is even harder to imagine is how anything like this could ever be accomplished again. I felt the same ache I did last night when I completed my first run-through of 'The Last of Us II' that I did when I finished the pioneering achievement that was 'The Ocarina of Time'. This art form deserves to be lauded and regarded at the same level as the rest of the entertainment media we consume, specifically because of games like these. That said, there truly has never been a game with the depth of storytelling, character development, sound design, gameplay, music performance and composition, than what has been achieved here with 'The Last of Us II'. Truly.

    If you were moved by anything that Naughty Dog has accomplished in the past, especially the characters they've brought to life through 'The Last of Us', don't hesitate to buy and play this game. Regardless of whether you agree with the decisions they've made with the introductions, fates and farewells of their beloved characters or particular plot elements, don't let ideology or politics prevent you from experiencing this masterpiece. It is just that.

    If it helps those who are still on the fence here is a list of games not yet mentioned that I have also thoroughly enjoyed in no particular order:

    - Bloodborne
    - God of War (reboot)
    - Horizon Zero Dawn
    - Red Dead Redemption (I and II)
    - Inside
    - NieR: Automata
    - Breath of the Wild

    - Bioshock (The Collection)

Но на месте ND, я бы все же предоставил в конце выбор игроку. Разработчики должны были понимать, что игру воспримут очень по разному, и решение проблемы, как раз дать выбор в финале. Я ставлю 10/10, осознавая какой труд был приложен к созданию этой игры, проработка каждой локации, каждого угла игры, просто аплодирую стоя.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having finished the game I had to put my thoughts on it.
    too many jump on it when they didn't even play the game, I think you have to play the entire game to really see it for what it is.
    The environment is superb, the sounds and the factions.

    The gameplay is taken from the previous game and is getting better and getting more features that makes it feel different and better, like the dodge that makes melee feel more fun than the first game.

    The exploration in the game is great, the stages feel very open and the option to enter places and look for recources and look for notes that tell more about the world.

    The quality of the animation is unreal and makes the game very believeable it's insane.

    And now to the point of the story that many jump on it because of the leaks.
    I truly believe you have to play this game and not rely only on leaks or on what other think about it to see it for what it really is.
    the world of the last of us is a dangerous one and part two shows it, no one is safe.
    its getting out emotions that not many games will get out of you.
    it's a tale of revenge and hate and how it's consuming and can leave you with nothing.
    the part of two perspectives is not something new but it adds to the story to show that the other side has their reasons too, and while yes I love the characters of the first game and felt rage for what happened in the first part of the game, the second part is successfullly making me see why it happened and accept it, and even like the character and wishing for both to get out of it, and that's why in the last part I felt heavy and just wanted then to stop.
    This is a dark game and in no way a bad one, not all games need to be Cinderella games with happy ends and I hope many can accept it.
    I think everyone needs to play the game and see for themselves if they accept it or not, but even if they don't like the story the game is worth it even for the gameplay, environment and all the other stuff in it.    … Expand

    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...
