    It's a great story that subverts expectation and tropes. And it takes the ultimate decision the player is used to making, and gives them to the characters. I believe this specifically is what people hated the most, they came along for the journey and didn't get to decide how that went.
    I think they forget this was the same in game 1, just less obvious. The main example is how the ending of the first game is just not what I would have d chosen if I had the choice which is funny in how it relates directly to the second game. It was hotels coffees I made, as this game is about Ellie's choices and Abbey's choices. I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. It has refined the gameplay mechanics of the first bring TLOU truly into this generation. It tells a story that has taken a lot of flak online but when you dive deep into it it's a tremendous story of 2 women driven by revenge and the consequences of those actions. A must play for anyone who loves complex storytelling and for pretty much everyone that owns a PS4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent exactly a month to complete this game, I must say this game is something else entirely. I cried while playing/going through the end and this is the first time ever that I have cried after finishing a game. I am a person whose favourite game was God Of War (2018) until I finished this game. In my opinion to really enjoy this game, one must be patient and have an unbiased mindset. Of course Joel was one the most lovable characters and what happened to him towards the beginning was extremely heartbreaking. However, I loved Abby and her character arc. Even felt bad for her at times because maybe the game was about Empathy after all and I am in empathetic person. I am not even talking about the tiny details that NaughtyDog had put throughout the whole game. The mechanics, graphics and detailing is extremely good. Lastly, in my opinion The Last of Us Part 2 is a much better and a diverse game than The Last of Us. The Last of Us Part 2 is without question game of the generation and deserves game of the year.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can only conclude that most negative reviews are because of an expectation vs reality factor. People wanted Ellie & Joel part 2 and they were given something very different. If you sit deep in your expectations and refuse to go with the story then you will ultimately have a disappointing experience, but if you are open to being led wherever the story needs to go then this game is the most compelling and satisfying experience that you can have with a videogame. This game is better than the first in almost every way. Graphics, music, storytelling, acting are all superb. But the true brilliance is the way in which Naughty Dog challenge the good guy/bad guy convention of videogames. In TLOU2, just as in real life, there are no good and no bad guys, there are simply people doing what they need to do to make it through. The switch from Ellie to Abby means that we are invested in both characters and the final fight - being asked to pummel a character you deeply care about - is emotionally tough. I have never been asked to do something in a videogame that I have not wanted to do. It was an incredible experience and well earned.

    I wonder whether it is this close-to-life experience that people did not like. Gamers are used to breaking from reality and escaping into very black and white worlds and perhaps it is what they need to make it through the sometimes bleakness of the real world. But I appreciate this game all the more for taking a risk and challenge convention. I applaud Naughty Dog for the direction in which they have taken the game. It would have been very easy to simply do Joel and Ellie again with better weapons and new enemies - the common fare for most video game sequels. They haven't. They have created something far more interesting and complex. The characters have evolved and grown and we are asked, just as we were with the first game, to think and question.

    I can only hope that a third is on the way. And to those who feel let down, I wonder whether with time and distance and expectation abated, you may revisit this and find the game to be the truly remarkable masterpiece that I do.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the best way to kick this review off is to acknowledge that I understand how the majority of the audience for this game has been disappointed in the fashion that they have, and that of course each and every player is entitled to enjoy (or not enjoy) the content for their own reasons.

    The game is a masterpiece, and while the experience I was given was vastly different to the one I believed that I had coming, I still fell in love with the game. The game has a hugely emotional and challenging plot-line, beautiful visuals, graphics and character designs, an amazing musical score and soundtrack including sensational voice-acting, has huge nods and developments from the first installment, and what I believe can be overlooked at times, a huge play-through experience for a linearly based game. I don't think anyone can disagree with the points regarding the look and feel of the game, obviously most of what separates opinion can be found within the narrative decisions we experience.

    The tone of the game is dark, raw and brutal. The atmosphere of the game from start to finish is tense, uncomfortable and desperate, and the characters we follow reflect living in a world of these themes. Ellie and Abby are two sides of the same coin, and their character development is interlinked around their pathways of revenge for their loved ones, with both having huge sacrifice and pain along their journeys. We as the audience are thrust into this story of hatred and brutality by experiencing Abby as a character, and having our wants for vengeance denied.
    This story is in stark contrast to the original TLOU, as we experience Ellie and Joel safe and their relationship intact at the conclusion, with seemingly the threat to this gone. In the TLOU Part II we have these same feelings of satisfaction for our characters crushed, but at the hands and actions of themselves.
    Joel has done horrible things to many people in the world of the TLOU, as much is made clear by himself, he was a hunter and targeted innocents prior to TLOU's events. He expects his past to catch up with him, especially in reference to his hospital massacre, not only in the sense of those wanting to exact revenge, but in the form of Ellie uncovering the truth.
    Abby's story is exactly that of Ellie's following the death of Joel; one of revenge. We see Abby throughout her younger years unable to let go of the death of her father, and purses this as Ellie does. Her father was a good man, and was killed unnecessarily, but she loses so many more people in her search for this vengeance.
    Ellie loses a huge part of herself when she loses Joel, similarly to Abby and her father; their relationship had so much more growing to do. Her quest for revenge is untamed and visceral, and in the end Ellie comes barely to grips with herself that her killing Abby won't change what has happened, despite all of those she has killed before.

    The characters do not have a controlled focus behind their actions, they are operating off desperate and primitive measures. The story does not deliver to us what we wanted, and the story does not give those what we believe they deserve, but that does not make it a bad story.
    I was crushed that Joel was murdered. I was disgusted that we had to sympathize with his Abby. I was left empty that we were denied Ellie's revenge. But I love that this game made me feel, and feel hurt. I loved every minute of this game and will need something truly special to be convinced anything is ahead of it.
    I applaud Naughty Dog and all of those involved in the creation of this game, for taking a chance on their audience and giving us an experience to remember. The detail and intricacies within the game show me a level of respect and enjoyment the people developing it had, and I truly hope that the negative response initially received will not challenge their creative output in the future. I'm far from religious but 'if somehow the lord gave them a second chance at making this game, I would hope they do it all over again.'    … Expand

    But from a storyline point of view I was anxious to reach the end so I could find out what happened!
    This story was COMPELLING. The writers and performers did an amazing job at creating characters who I both cared deeply about, while shaking my head at their major flaws and poor choices.The score of fully-realised secondary characters was just as impressive, each with their own equally compelling journeys. This game was not simply ‘good guy bad guy’, this was exploring very real (painfully real) human beings in a world where the infection isn’t the worst enemy nor are the infected the worst type of monsters. But that just made the moments of human connection, humour and kindness all the more powerful.
    This game was brilliant. Extremely violent, to be fair, but also incredibly beautiful, from the design, to the music, to the themes and characters that are going to stay with me for a long time.

    After any deaths, the loading screen is virtually instant to load back in (2 seconds max)... the colour pallet, the scenery, THE OCEAN WAVES, best water animation I have seen! Now, why isn’t it perfect? In my opinion this would have been an absolute perfect 3rd rendition of the series, the reason I saw this is because I so desperately wanted more of the 1st game again. And this is just such a flip, story wise. Takes away a lot of what people loved in the first, so I can see where people’s criticisms come from. However, for me the story is so bold, risky and so ever present of real life, it just hits my emotions so hard, and I couldn’t love that feeling more (as sad as a lot of it is)

    The sun rays And location displayed in the first chapter, is something I wish I could have played for longer! Imagine this as an open world, playing so smoothly! Other devs take a note,,, I’ll be expecting this quality in ps5 to rate another game as 10! Even the gameplay super fun, moments that scared me, moments that made me feel as if I just just just survived with no ammo, or gear left.

    The last of us part 2 is not a perfect game, it has a few notable issues such as pacing in some areas, a couple of underdeveloped side characters, 1 or 2 small instances of plot armour, looting that isn't quite good enough for how much of it you do and somewhat wonky ally AI.

I also understand why this game is so controversial and why a number of people really don't like this game, however, for me it has been one of the most affecting pieces of media that I have ever experienced. It is a game that is unafraid to take risks and do things that will make many players angry and uncomfortable. It also deals with the first games ending in a far more ground level, human way than most people expected and wanted, but I think that is what this series is all about and so I personally love it. This game is more about building dissonance between the player and its playable characters over time in order to get the player to question how well they ever even knew these characters in the first place. At times it has its characters do some awful things and sometimes even forces the player to press the buttons. This (hopefully) causes the player to feel disgusted, as they not only have to accept that the story this game is telling is not theirs, but the characters - but also become happy that this isn't their story. This is a game about the dark side of love, in contrast to the first game, and explores how this can cause tribalism, extreme violence and how it leads us to dehumanise others, resulting in endless cycles of war and hate, which I think is very prevalent after some of the events that transpired this year. But for me, this games most important themes were those of purpose and forgiveness. This game explores all the struggles of forgiving someone, but also the positive consequences that it can bring. It is also a game all about people who feel like they lack purpose latching onto anything they can to feel worth something and chasing that thread until it damn near kills them. Characters in this game become increasingly self destructive over time, and increasingly start making irrational but ultimately very human decisions as the game goes on. This can become frustrating but plays into that idea of dissonance and, for me at least, has a huge emotional pay off. The ending of this game is also a controversial one, but one that i think makes perfect sense when taken in the full context of the game and one that affected me very deeply which is why I love it. This ending, I believe, is also actually a more hopeful ending than the first games, despite appearing much more grim on the surface. This is a game that demands your full attention at all times and makes big asks of the player, with its hardest game being one that has to be played using your heart and not your controller, and it absolutely will not work for everyone, but if it does work for you then this game becomes surprisingly deep, and incredibly affecting piece that I don't think I will ever forget.

    As far as the gameplay is concerned, there are no huge leaps from the first game but a lot of small additions and improvements that really add up. Improvements to progression, AI, level design, enemy variety, game feel, mobility, stealth and enemy interactivity as well as the additions as prone, dodging and new craftables among other things really all work together to make an incredibly tense, scrappy gameplay experience quite unlike anything else out right now, and probably the best experience ive ever had with a TPS outside of MGSV and the 2 recent hitman games. Though there are a couple instances of small pacing issues where it felt like one style of gameplay was going on for too long, which does hamper things a tiny bit.

    Presentation wise this game is predictably incredible. In terms of raw graphics, this is almost certainly the best looking game ever, and even when taking art style into account its still right up there for me. The sound design is absolutely incredible and the music is insanely good. This game also has by far the best animations of any game ever and its not even close. The performances in this game may also be the best in any naughty dog game, which is an absolutely **** ridiculous feat.

    This games accessibility options are also so far ahead of any other game right now, and worthy of huge praise for just how many people will be able to comfortably play this game unassisted when usually that would be impossible.

    It's also worth mentioning the ridiculous amount of tiny details in this game that help bring the world to life. Botw and rdr2 have finally been surpassed and its incredible just how much work must have gone in to this game.

    Overall, the last of us part 2 is an easy 10 for me, being easily one of my favourite games of the gen and possibly even one of my favourites of all time. I still like the first game a little bit more overall, but for the right person this game is more worth your time than almost anything else out there.    … Expand

Everything is so polished, i sat here with a wide open mouth, staring at fern and birches, at mud and grass like an excited little child because its unbelievable beautiful. The gameplay is a more polished version of part 1 but still the same, which isnt something bad, like it isnt a call of duty or an ark, its good as it is.

    People are **** around because the game doesnt deliver the warm hearted family friendly content they all somehow expected, its a modern game spinning current topics into its long and well told story, with a lot of characters where you more and more learn why they did certain things they did. I really started to feel what the different characters are going through, giving me an emotional carousel because they all have theire different point of views on the same topic.

    Im really mad to read all the hate and negative feedback because i personally cannot understand it. Its a masterpiece and every gamer that is merely interested in story games should try to play this fantastic game.    … 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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
