    A true master class of media. If you're expecting predictable Hollywood fare of simplistic heroic characters and spoon-fed themes, look elsewhere.

    It's becoming increasingly apparent from the hate-filled review bombings that the M rating should also have a descriptor for emotional maturity, because clearly a lot of people can't handle even remotely challenging feelings. It's also

    It's also worth pointing out that all the negativity and bigotry can appear loud and overwhelming, but they're a minority (the type of people they hate!) compared to the majority of people who actually played the first game and understood its themes and characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Review regarding the story: it was a great story, shows that death does come out of nowhere, with no warning and not everyone gets a superhero death like Iron Man or gets to live happily ever after like captain America. Once you truly understand the story you become more understanding of all the characters. No one is a hero, everyone is a villain in someone else's story. We are all used to happily ever after and that is what we expected in this but in the first game Sarah died, Tess died, Marlene died, Riley died and there was no cure. The story has always been dark and death in an apocalypse is common. Doesn't mean that it won't hurt but you can't really prepare because it is out of nowhere. Expand

It improves on the first game in every conceivable way. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay has been finely tuned. It’s the little touches that really make it special; like seeing weapons actually being modified at the workbenches. The music was perfectly chosen and provides an emotional touchstone throughout the narrative. I didn’t know that it was possible to make Take on Me sound melancholy, but Ashley Johnson managed it beautifully. I would also strongly encourage people to re-listen to Future Days (the Ellie/Joel song) again after they’ve finished the game because it takes on a richer significance. Where the game really shines though is in its story and the character development. We see a softer, more vulnerable side of Joel and a harder, vengeful Ellie that built on what was set up in the first game. This isn’t a game that panders. If anything, it is asking fans to trust it as it leads us on an emotional roller coaster. I never felt like my trust was misplaced. Every scene struck an emotional chord and even though I desperately wanted different outcomes for some of the characters, the game’s events fit the tone and theme that they were going for and had an internal consistency that I could accept. I ended the game bereft and emotionally drained which, while not the usual gaming experience, did illustrate how video games can be a place to grapple with difficult and even uncomfortable emotions.

    TLDR: not only is this the best game I’ve played all year; it is the best game I’ve ever played.

Most of the leaks were somewhat true, but none of them got even close to communicating how impactful this game is: it tears the player apart and destroys expectations one after the other, and it's a better game just because of that. When I finished it, I was in tears, on the verge of an anxiety crisis, and that was the only time a game was able to impact me so much. I wish I could go back in time just to experience this for the first time again. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This second title is really amazing surprise naughty dog prepared for us. I'd risk to say that is the most incredible narrative I've ever seen in games, many important topics appear in this game- even though the "basic line" is pretty simple: a revenge story. The choice by two protagonists- one the villain of the other, both heroes of their own story, is an absolute revolution in games narratives. Graphics at their best in this game, so resuming:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Characters development: 10/10
    Narrative: 10/10
    Soundtrack: 10/10
    Gameplay: 9/10 - It could get a bit repetitive

    For me this is easily the game of the decade- for sure deserves the GOTY. An only experience everyone should try!
    Many "Joel's widows" are complaining about the game, but it just tell us about themselves- most of them really incapable of accepting new experiences and thing more seriously about the whole game experience, this game is not for those who can't have empathy.

    And this one is sure does meaningful for me that's why i appreciated it so much.

    Still it was the best experience for me that this series has ever give. It's like you watch movie, you can related with the content whoever you are, wherever you from and there're nothing wrong with that.
    I understand people despite the concept that they thought they are able to "choose" that's why i gave it 9.5 since you can't choose anything. We just an observer of this story, and also nothing with that because it's developer choices. I don't feel like i was force to do anything since i just pursue this game as it meant to be as for entertainment. But i don't find the story is disappointing for me. I already try my 2nd play through too and each time progress i reach i found more and more small details i have missed. And if you can compile those details together, you can say this game is really well done like piece of craftsmanship works. The expression, body physical reaction, realistic of light / sound and visual. I can say it here out loud that people who gave 0, never play game or they are bias / troll. If you gonna give it fairly you must take it as a whole

    Graphic 10/10
    Sound 10/10
    Mechanic 10/10
    Acting 10/10
    Ai responsive combat design 10/10
    Environment design 10/10
    Story i did enjoy so i give 9-10 / 10

    hope people considering to try it out because i can say it's worth trying for.
    It's not a happy full with rainbow and enjoyable story but it's seem so real and really about human-being

    No spoilers. This game is fantastic, but it is very challenging to get through emotionally, and can make one very uncomfortable. It’s made in such a way as to feel like getting two games. Gameplay and graphics were amazing. It’s a real achievement in telling a narrative through a video game. It was nothing like what I expected, but far from a disappointment.

The gameplay, while very similar to the original, is still extremely good. Turning out the lights, playing this in 4K on a big screen with surround sound, you will get lost in the game. You will experience fear, dread, sorrow, relief, and a myriad of other emotions. Anything that can make me feel things that this game does as effectively as it does is clearly doing something right. I recommend this wholeheartedly, with one reservation - if you are open-world are bust, you might feel hamstrung. This game is not structured that way. It's not meant to let you tell your own story like Mass Effect, and it's not meant to let you go anywhere you want like GTA or Red Dead. But that is what makes it so good at what it does. Expand

In fact, places where some other players suggest a logic fallacy exist, I found them to be quite understandable, and sometimes the character's sharp turns of opinion and code of conduct seem quite logical and even brilliant in terms revealing their characters. The narrative of the story is quite superior to most other games because it obsessive follows and symmetrical structure both in terms of narrative structure as well as characterization. This way of telling a story is quite uncommon in video games but often found in critically acclaimed literature and movies. TLOU2 is a bold step forward, pointing the gaming industry to move from purely catering to people's liking, and into a much more serious and artistic style.

    Even if it is hard for me to accept that my beloved characters are harmed, I can not deny this game is a very good game, and it should be marked as an important moment that video games evolved once again!

    Hi, I'm from r/thelastofus2, here to leave my 50th 0/10 metacritic review on Neil CdrUCKmann's badly written, social justice agenda pushing, plothole ridden, flop of a sequel. I didn't play it, but the leaks were 100% accurate and I can't believe they killed the good guy, Joel. Joel wouldn't just say his name to strangers. Why did they make him soft? I don't want to play as his killer.

Why does Ellie find real love? I can't believe Neil would represent a trans person. This is America! Most of these 10/10 reviews are PAID! Hitler wasn't even as evil as Abby. Do not buy this game and form your own opinion! Make sure you tick helpful on this review! Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. In the game characters has the things that must be done, but must be stopped. In this situation, we can experience extreme suspense and conflict. We are survivors in the game. No supplies are found easily and nothing is enough. It makes every action is risk a shortage, and every moves matter.

At the point when you feel everything has come to an end - they tear your heart out, put it down on the ground and dance on it in a manner that you’ll love.
    The only thing which feels missing is the multiplayer, but for the 30h game with such amount of details and attention put in it it’s too much to ask I think.

Each character has their own name, and seeing how people react to the deaths around them made each character feel much more human. Even the dogs have names and I feel terrible after each one I take down. And the ways the enemies get smarter after each kill is amazing. Then there's the story. Never has any story brought me so much emotion like this game has. It brings you to the extreme hatred after Joel is killed, then you start to sympathize with the killer. It really definitely made every character feel a lot more realistic. Expand

This is a game which you cannot watch on a Youtube/twitch stream, it needs to be played. I recently played through all 4 uncharted games, and replayed the last of us Part 1, to refresh my memory. I can honestly say Naughty dog has outdone themselves. I am sad to see the toxic culture of the gaming community base the quality of the game, on their beliefs on what is acceptable in society.

    I did not rush through this game, it took me about 10 days to play, so after each session of playing I could actually digest what the hell had just happened, there remains alot to question in terms of the story line, but the biggest questions are answered, why, what when and who. I myself would love to see a third, heck even a fourth.

    All in all, I recommend this game to those who seek to play it, and those who are familiar with story driven games.

    Selten ist die Fortsetzung eines Videospiel Franchises zu polarisierend aufgenommen worden, wie im Falle eines TLOU Part 2.

Sagen wir einmal so - Vermutlich istSelten ist die Fortsetzung eines Videospiel Franchises zu polarisierend aufgenommen worden, wie im Falle eines TLOU Part 2. Sei es nun der umstrittene Storyplott, die Art wie Naughty Dog ihre Charaktere weiter entwickelt oder aber die gesellschaftlichen Diskurse, die das Sequel vom vielleicht meistgefeiertesten Spiel des letzten Jahrzehnts aufgreift. Sagen wir einmal so - Vermutlich ist The Last of Us Part II das mutigste Spiel der Videospielgeschichte.

    The Last of Us Part 2 ist nämlich viel mehr als eine Rachestory. Und The Last of Us Part 2 ist viel mehr als eine "wokes" Postapokalypse Drama. Und nein, Naughty Dog geht auch nicht brutal mit ihren Charakteren um, die das Publikum so lieben gelernt hat, nur um zu schockieren. Ich glaube, wer The Last of Us Part 2 an dieser Stelle plump kritisiert, der zeigt am Ende nur, dass er selbst nicht die Eier hat, die Naughty Dog beweist, in dem sie die Welt, die sie selbst geschrieben haben, bis in die letzte Konsequenz ernst nehmen.

    The Last of Us thematisiert eine gewaltdurchsetzte Welt. Eine Welt, in der Utopien keinen Platz haben. Wo jeder Versuch von Menschlichkeit immer wieder von der feindlichen Umwelt konterkariert wird. Dieser destruktive Kreislauf der Gewalt wird einerseits im Rahmen der unterschiedlichen Fraktionen und Gemeinschaften thematisiert, dich sich regional organsiert haben und von denen keine einen gewaltfreien Herrschaftsraum realisieren konnten. Zum anderen spiegelt er sich in der ganz persönlichen Geschichte von Ellie und Joel, die beide Außenseiter blieben, auch hinter den dicken Mauern von Jackson, da sie ihrer Geschichte, der Vergangenheit nicht entfliehen können.
    Letztlich gibt die Geschichte, die Naughty Dog erzählen will, beiden Charakteren keine wirkliche Chance auf Unversehrtheit. Das letzte Bild von Ellie, die aufgrund ihrer Versehrtheit nun keine Gitarre mehr spielen kann, das letzte was ihr geblieben ist von Joel, kann man hier als Metapher für die ganze Erzählung lesen. Es geht nicht um Rache. Der Geschichte geht es darum zu zeigen, dass es in einer Welt voller Gewalt kein Entkommen gibt, keine Unversehrtheit. The Last of Us konsequent gedacht, konnte nie auf das Happy End einer Disney-Erzählung hinauslaufen. Konnte nie Helden zeichnen, die am Ende geläutert und unversehrt für das Gute an sich stehen. The Last of Us musste in einer Zerbrochenheit enden, wenn es sich als Erzählung ernst nehmen will. Hier hat Naughty Dog den Mut bewiesen, den man den Autoren der letzten Game of Thrones Staffel auch gewünscht hätte, damit diese den Zuschauern, oder eben Spielern, am Ende eben nicht die große Erlösung vorzugaukeln, die man sich kollektiv eben wünscht, um beruhigt schlafen zu können.

    The Last of Us Part 2 ist keine Unterhaltung. Es ist kein Disney Kinofilm. The Last of Us Part 2 ist ein Drama. Ähnlich wie Kojima mit Death Stranding, oder Ninja Theory mit Hellblade, sprengt auch Naughty Dog die Grenzen, des oftmals als oberflächlich belächelten Mediums Videospiel und erzählt eine Geschichte für Erwachsene. Ja, das ist nichts für Disney Fans, die immer noch mit ihren Spider-Man oder Star Wars Plastikpuppen spielen wollen.

    Und mal ganz abgesehen von den erzählerischen Qualitäten des Titels, auch hinsichtlich Gameplay, Animationen, KI, Inszenierung und Atmosphäre - Mit The Last of Us Part 2 setzt Naughty Dog neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Immersion und Realismus. Noch nie hat ein Videospiel sich so echt und intensiv angefühlt. Von der ersten bis zur letzten schrecklichen Minute.

    Ein Must Play für Jedermann und -Frau, die wirklich Eier hat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand why people are hating this game. "Oh my favorite character dies, boo-whoo!" Well, welcome to the real world. Cause that's what TLOU Part 2 is: the real world, with real people, in a post apocalyptic view. And just like the real world, no one is immortal. We're all human beings and our lives could be cut short in any moment. "But the entire story is just non sensical! I mean, all of this just to get revenge and in the end, Ellie lets Abby go? That's **** Yeah, because I'm sure that if a person you loved was killed like that in front of your eyes you would take a break and veeeery calmly come up with a plan on how to get your revenge. Surely you wouldn't act on impulse, pushed by the hate, no no. And in case you didn't notice, the more time passes, the more Ellie realizes that she wasn't doing the right thing, especially after the fight in the theater, where Abby spares her (and Dina) for the second time. But then, convinced by Tommy, she wants to go find Abby again, and in the final battle she understand that her sleepless nights were not due to Abby being alive, but on how her relationship with Joel ended. Ellie will never be able to tell Joel that she was sorry for how she treated him and for what she told him. That's why she lets Abby go. Killing her wouldn't have solved anything. Plus, the Abby gameplay was crucial to the story, to make you understand her point of view; to make you understand that neither Ellie nor Abby are right or wrong. Every hero is someone else's villain, remember that. Now that I took this out of my chest, what can I say about the game? Truly a masterpiece. Expand

Graphics, animation and details are the most important advantages of the game. The plot is very good. He made me feel completely different emotions: fear, hatred, anger, sadness and tears, joy. The first part of the game is very happy with what is happening, but by the second half of the game for Abby I was not used to it from the beginning, I had to freeze myself to play for some time. But then I fell in love with the second half as well as the first. The boss fight in the hospital is so awesome that I haven’t admired such things in games for a long time.
