    To the ones giving a bad score... I feel sorry for you.

    This game will shake you like no other game has ever done. It is indeed controversial and it made me do things I didnt want, and some others were not like I wanted them to be BUT, because I can do it all over again, I will.

    As a fan of the first game, I’ve been waiting eagerly for this. Unfortunately, there were some major spoilers released that were disappointing. Now don’t get me wrong.

Now don’t get me wrong. What happened story wise in the spoilers I am not upset about. It’s just the fact that someone ruins other experiences. That aside. I quickly forgot about it once I’d started playing. This game is a masterpiece in story telling. People are complaining about the story choices but listen, they are only angry because they didn’t experience it organically through gameplay. Without the spoilers, no one would be complaining. This game is beautiful. It’s dark, it’s heart wrenching and utterly exhausting. This is exactly what you want for the Last Of Us universe. It’s not a walk in the park. It shouldn’t be. Not everyone will love the outcomes and that’s fine. Just enjoy the experience. I am a huge fan of the first and I am left very satisfied with this journey. The story of Ellie and Joel has been engrossing from the start and The Last Of Us Part 2 really takes it to the next level. There are some incredibly moving moments, and some dark, heartbreaking arcs. There are a whole new cast of great characters and luscious locations. Wonderful story telling. Hats off to everyone who worked on this magnificent game. 10/10. Expand

    Game play was 10/10 for me. I personally loved the story and Abby's quest. I'll give the story an 8/10. The graphics were incredible too (10/10).

    For me, the best moments in this game were the boss fights and the story exposition. I did my first playthrough on "hard" difficulty and it was really well balanced and fair, but presented a good challenge. The loop of killing enemies, hiding, repositioning, and figuring out how to kill the next enemy was super fun. I also enjoyed the two different play styles of Ellie and Abby. Both characters were badass in their own way, with Ellie feeling more nimble and tactical and Abby being an overpowered bare-knuckle brawler.

    The standout moment of the game for me was fighting the giant miniboss lady with the sledge hammer as Abby.

    Criticism 1: I think the game is slow to get going.

    Criticism 2: I think that in the pursuit of making "art", Naughty Dog mislead a lot of people, which maybe wasn't fair. I avoided the leaks and approached the game unbiased and absolutely loved it. I found myself waking up at 5am so that I could get a few hours in before work; I was completely addicted. The thing with art though is that not everyone appreciates it in the same way- people have different tastes and that's okay. I guess I'm trying to say that I understand why many were turned off by the game, but to me personally, it was a masterpiece.

    Also, I legit think many of the review bombers did it because playing as a girl with big muscles somehow assaults their masculinity. Not saying that everyone who didn't like it felt this way, but definitely some.

    Fantastic game and a great addition to the first story. Combat has been greatly expanded upon, the ability to assault enemy positions from above and below is genuinely game changing, as is the ability to dodge, prone and listen on survivor mode.

    The crafting and weapon upgrades have also been massively improved, offering a wider selection of skills and abilities so you can really mix up the gameplay, it's incapable of becoming stale.

    Level design Is second to none here, players are heavily rewarded for their exploration and the areas are so big it is one step away from being a true open world. I've lost count of the amount of times i've finished a fight and then saw another piece of terrain I could have used and wanted to re-do the fight again.

    The story is absolutely fantastic, we can truly see the motivations of each side of the argument and are reminded that there is no such thing as good and bad in this world. Abbys plight is as important as Ellie's but there is also things to be learnt on both sides. Abby is a fantastic character with much the same motivations as Ellie and it's really interesting to see the story play out from both sides.

    I honestly couldn't recommend this game enough. Fans of the original will find all the same mini interactions and attention to detail that they loved in the first game, mixed in with a satisfying update to the combat and a thrilling story that will leave you bloodthirsty.

    10/10 a must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being the most anticipated game of 2020 following the major success of its predecessor, The Last of Us Part 2 had some tremendous shoes to fill. It had to muster a thought provoking emotional story that rivaled the previous game, needed graphical quality that reflected the current generation, and gameplay that built upon the already flawless crafting and gunplay that we saw before. Yes, this game has its neigh-sayers, ridiculing the writing of the story-board designers because of the murder of a beloved character, but just because your favorite character was killed, doesn't mean the game isn't good, or you can't appreciate how they were able to build on the lore of the world, create new characters that you can relate to and mourn in their passing, and excel at moving beyond this departure of the supposed glue holding the previous game together.
    The LoU2 improves on it's predecessor in nearly every facet, notice I say nearly because I do want think Naughty Dog could've chopped up the story a little to make it less lengthy, but, that isn't enough for the game to receive zero's from fans on sites everywhere.
    The story was amazing, playing with your emotions from the the time you pressed play to the scrawling of the credits at its conclusion. From the immense satisfaction of being back in the LoU2's world, the moments of utter dread and sadness that came at the loss of our most beloved characters, and the anger that seethed within us, as well as Ellie and Abby as they embarked on their quests for revenge. You couldn't revel for five minutes within this decaying world without feeling on edge and having the sneaking suspicion that one of your allies would bite the dust at a moments notice.
    The passing of the protagonal torch from Ellie to Abby tinkers with emotions even further. You think as Ellie that you are in the right. You just trekked across the western part of the United States to seek your revenge on this mercenary party that butchered your beloved father figure, successfully perform said task, only to then change hands, see a new perspective, and realize that this world is not what it seems.
    You see that the world Abby inhabited wasn't too different from Ellie's. She had friends and family that she adored, a father who was lost, and a decision fueled by revenge that she believed would "make things right". But if there is anything that this game is trying to emphasize is that revenge isn't entirely a course of action worth pursuing, and that human beings aren't as reliable as we initially think. The story blurs the line between who is truly good and evil, and emphasizes that humans are incredibly prone to mistakes and acting rashly due to fits of rage and emotionally driven agendas.
    When I assumed the role of Abby I was disturbed by the fact that the characters I had killed were not mere evil-doers who deserved to get axed, but people who were a part of a loving and cohesive society just trying to live in this outbreak-stricken world. They had families, lovers, companions, just like anyone who was back in Jackson, or even Ellie herself, but due to our lack of knowledge we found ourselves rooting for someone who is clearly not on the correct side of the moral compass.
    This is what I love about the LoU2. This dichotomy presented between Abby and Ellie is not drastically different as we once thought and I love that the game forces us to consider who is the faction we should showing allegiance to.
    But I think there is another underlying message; that we are supposed to be combating the scourge of infected that inhabit our world rather than one another. Unify, instead of oppose one another creating bloodshed.
    This point is what I think a lot of people are missing and I think its poignant that we are reintroduced to that fact at the conclusion of the game when we discover that the Fireflies are not an extinct organization like we thought. There is still a chance to beat this virus and save humanity. But I guess we'll have to wait and see for when the sequel rolls around.
    Moving on from the topic of the story, the game is visually stunning and, debatably the most visually appealing game to come out this generation! The characters models are incredibly life-like, the textures and light exposure mirror reality, and dilapidated world that you are wading through is lush, green, and forgotten, adding to the magic of The Last of Us.
    The combat is is crisp and fluid, every encounter with an enemy is full of grit and viscera, and you teeter between feeling like an action-movie star to a mere mortal fighting for your life. To make this combat possible you have to craft weapons, survival gear and anything else that will help you best the fungal beasts and the gun-wielding barbarians. It improves on what was in place before and then some.
    To rap it up, The Last of Us Part 2 is near perfect. The story could've been tinkered to provide a swifter conclusion, but it is a worthy candidate for GOTY.

    I guess all the bad reviews of this game show that people don't like stories that go off the beaten path for video games. They just want to save the princess ...

    I'm 42 now, and i have been playing games since i was 14. This game has to be one of the games with the best story i have ever played. It made me think, it moved me, it managed to reach a height that few hollywood movies can match.

    The tension in the game can be very high. At more than one occasion, i simply needed to take a break because my heart was racing.

    This game also portrays death in a way that is never done before. Ellie clearly flinches when she cuts somebodies throat, and you actually sometimes feel sorry for your enemies. The enemies also reference each other with their name. All this adds to the grimness of the game.

    Not only is the story that good, but the technical execution is simply perfect: moving from a platform to a ladder is without hassle, camera behavior will never bother you, the inventory menus are intuitive and even making some ammo in the heat of battle is a breeze.

    All this combined with gorgeous graphics and sound design, and i cannot see why this game does not deserve a perfect 10.

    A história do jogo é muito bem contada, e sem pontas soltas e a imersão criada nesse jogo através da narrativas, cenários, inimigos e trilha sonora complementa o sentimento que esta imerso no jogo e deve ser algo a ser seguido nas próximas gerações!

    Minha recomendação é para pessoas com mente aberta e maduras, que tolerem o gore, porque ele esta bastante presente no jogo, mas a violência não é forçada, ela existe dentro daquele contexto porque a história leva a esse ponto. E sobre as críticas a homossexualidade, religião, aborto, drogas, etc, não influenciam na narrativa, são temas que estão presentes mas como pano de fundo, é apenas um background que faz parte dentro do contexto social, e não como agenda política como pessoas ignorantes e com mente fechada para novas experiências não foram capazes de absorver o melhor desse jogo, meus parabéns a Naughty Dog e espero novos games com a mesma imersão e qualidade!

It is a brutal, credible game and brings us a reflection that I have never seen in any game, film or book. In short: this game is a masterpiece. It is the game that separates adults from children. It is a game that requires the player to have a more mature mindset. It is not a simple video game. The way the story was told is something unique. If you're reading this here and haven't played the game yet: play it, but be there and face it with an open mind and let yourself be allowed and be absolved by the narrative. I still can't get the game out of my head. It is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played in my life. And the ending is impressive, I cried like a boy and I was bad, very bad. Best of all, it opens up infinite possibilities for The Last of Us 3. It's not just a game, it's an experience. And this is a game about "Revenge", in this game there is no justice, just like the 1, everything is a matter of perspective. Expand

    It may not be the masterpiece most expected but it certainly took everyone for a ride. This is not one of those feel good games or stories and while it suffers from poor pacing, questionable sex scenes and shallow side characters this game had a good story to tell. Definitely would be one of those games that gets better as time goes on.

    I would score the game 9/10, however I have completely different view on the game. I think the strongest point of TLOU2 is the story, and ability to understand two sides of conflict. On another hand I did not like the graphic and repetitive stealth killing. Wazzup!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I claim one simple thing: Nobody else has ever built a game like The Last of Us Part II. Whether you like it or not it is something that the world hasn't seen before. Graphics, animations, sound (just OMG how good it is), the way how storytelling works (I'm not touching the script itself), the in-game atmosphere. All those things are simply unbelievable. When it comes to the most disputed aspect, story, well.. I liked it! I disagree with those people who say it doesn't deserve anybody's attention etc. etc. For me it's opposite: revenge was just one narrow line of the story but eventually turned to be something much bigger. The overall idea is much wider and deeper than that. But you have to play the game to feel and see that. Seems like the worst thing that happened to this game is the leak 2 months before the game came out. Because Neil is absolutely right: just play the game and experience it all yourself! But the public (of course, not all of it) already made their judgement based on those leaked materials.. Expand

Genialny pomysł grania zarówno protagonistą, jak i antagonistą zmusza gracza do wczucia się i pełnego zrozumienia obu stron konfliktu. Wszystkie postacie w grze są psychologicznie prawdziwe i wielowymiarowe, a animacje twarzy są absolutnie fantastyczne. Całość wieńczy tragiczny i jednocześnie ironiczny finał.
    Pod względem graficznym i animacyjnym Naughty Dog po raz kolejny pokazało, że jest absolutnym mistrzem i nikt, z wyjątkiem Rockstara, nie może z nimi konkurować. Oszczędna, klimatyczna muzyka dopełnia tę doskonałą grę.

    There is not an objective or possible way to try to underrate this game. Neither you like or your hate the story, there are many facts, way too many facts and pros in The Last of Us Part II to analyze and compare to other games in its genre, and Naughty Dog's last game simply is an magnanimous hand-made videogame that I've ever seen in my 30+ more years on videogaming. Uncharted seriesThere is not an objective or possible way to try to underrate this game.

Uncharted series were over the top in every aspect and TLOUII is simply three steps forwards and none backwards compare to everything else done before.

    Also, although it wasn't necessary at all, cinematic direction and concept game direction were very risky, but they were executed properly and in a good way (Debatable). Script, story-telling and what we play is the most "Game of Thrones" things in videogame, where killing any common enemy will look so ridiculously gorgeous and photorealistic, with eye animation and such a great quality design (Not only graphically, but in concept) that it's almost hard to watch because you feel like you're killing a living being. To experience empathy is very common in this game.

    You will feel "something" in every decision made in the story-script. Will it be sad? Will it be good? Will it be bad? it will depend entirely on your personal experience with the madness-vengeance story, but be sure that you will feel something. As a player, you will be part of the story because the connection is too tight and perfect to every character shown. There are not black nor whites, only greys.

    Technically is also one step forward everything you've seen. It looks like a damn PS5-XSX even on PS4 FAT, and we still don't know how magicians Naughty Dog's developers made this.

    A masterpiece that everyone should play at least once. A better and riskier game than the original The Last of Us (2013).

A game consist of multiple elements and If you cannot judge/review based on more than 1 of these elements (Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound, etc.) then please consider to not review at all as it’s not very helpful to anyone. As a long time Naughty Dog fan I’m still blown away. This could very well be the best game I’ve ever experienced and it’s undoubtedly the best PS4 game as of yet and this is coming from someone that’s played games since the 80’s and well over 100 PS4 games to completion including all other AAA games that is considered the best of the bunch. This is a story heavy game and it’s playing with completely different questions and emotions to what you’ve normally come to expect from a game. You may not like it since it dare to challenge pretty much everything we’ve come to learn and feel up to this point in the story but it’s very difficult to question the quality of the story telling independent if you agree with the direction or not. Me personally understand and respect the choices they made and the gambling they obviously did. It’s much darker than the original The Last of Us with a lot of violence and gore but it’s also very fitting based on the revenge theme of this game. It’s not there for the sake of being there but to further explain the darkest sides of humanity. It plays and feel like a Naughty Dog game and if anything I would say it’s an improvement over last installments. The AI is the best I’ve witnessed in a video game and it’s also an excellent stealth game even judging by Metal Gear Solid standards. It’s challenging (>=Moderate) without being frustrating and I never felt I was punished by the game or suffered failures due to anything but my own mistakes. The length of the game is longer than any of the other ND games and even though I prefer shorter and tighter games I never felt that it overstayed it’s visit. I’ve read a lot of debates about pushing feminist agendas but other than that I kept away from any spoilers or in detail reviews about the game, purely to have my own experience. I don’t agree with the critique related to politics and pushing agendas and if your whole world collapses if you witness anything HBTQ related, then I just feel sorry for you and the people around your black cloud. The graphics may very well be the best that is possible to achieve with current PS hardware and the sound design and music is a triumph as well. Everything that’s created is there to support the mood they want to achieve and according to me it hit all the right strings. If possible for you, then I recommend to use headphones while playing the game. This is a pure masterpiece and it got me to review my first ever game on Metacritic. 10/10 from Sweden. Expand

В первой части я прорывался через геймплей ради сюжета. В этой части я им (гейплеем) наслаждался. Вроде всё тоже самое, но он стал глубже и разнообразней.
    Сюжет крышесносный. Это совсем не то чего вы ожидали! Это разрыв шаблона. Я трижды думал, что вот уже конец игры, и каждый раз всё закручивалось еще сильнее. Здесь нет правых, а есть свои и чужие. И у чужих тоже есть своя правда. Игра заставляет проникнутся симпатией к антогонисту. Прочуствовать всю его боль и понять его мотвацию. Пожалеть Мишку! И ты уже не знаешь кто здесь антигерой.
    Меня игра просто выпотрошила эмоционально. Это реально круто. Концовка идеальна. Я сидел в шоке доигрывая конец игры, так же как я был в шоке от финала первой части. Спасибо ноти дог за оффигенную игру!

    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.
