I was upset at first as well with Joel's passing but after playing and finally finishing the game.. I was left speechless for how anazing Of a story it turned out to be. I am also flabbergasted from all of the hate. The negative comments are clearly from people who either don't play video games on PlayStation or haven't given the game a chance after the first hour.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us part II in many ways expands this story, and even though it is painful to see Joel out of the picture so soon, I feel it was necessary for even I to be motivated with Ellie’s goal. I remember thinking ok I’ll stop after this section and then kept playing for the sake of it was my revenge too. And once I switched to abby I felt so conflicted the further I played as her. Did I want Ellie to succeed or Abby to flourish? And although even the end didn’t feel successful to me I could not get it out of my mind. This game is truly a masterpiece for even making it possible for myself to switch and understand other perspectives, and to even feel the emotions I felt. All I really should have said was this game is a must play, for anyone who likes a phenomenal story.… Expand

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. The story is simply outstanding and the characters are like real people, with their own motivations and hopes. I can't understand people reviewing this game with a 0, this proves that fanatics don't have any criteria at all. For me, one of my most favourite games of all time. Do not miss it!

    Ellie’s story for revenge is haunting and disturbing to play, and yet so well executed. The game struggles with the darkest sides of humanity with no clear protagonist or antagonist. It’s straddles the gray middle between black and white and forces you to be incredibly introspective on how the themes fest with in the game unfold It’s also a technical masterpiece, gameplay is very similar to the first one but enhanced a bit, it actually becomes very addictive. New additions like land mines and pipe bongs makes killing genuinely fun. The graphics are probably the best we will see from any console game for many years. I can’t get enough, every set is a masterpiece with so much detail it almost becomes hypnotic to look at.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty dog ​​got as heavy on the story as 1 or 2, the strong point for me are the characters, extremely well scared, it seems that there is real life, and a courage that had to kill the main character was incredible. They killed or Joel in a dry, cruel way and would even say cowardly, but with a purpose: to make people feel and with revenge on their skin, just like Ellie felt, something that is due to Dina who does not cause the same impact, not criteria for the same drama and it would just be another game with the theme of revenge. In such an end of the world, death is a horror, ugly and raw, I was even waiting for some words like "I love you", "take care" in the deaths of certain characters as fantasy, but no, it was dry, it was de suddenly and I cause very strong emotions. As for example, in Jesse's death, before opening a door he was alive after opening a floor like a potato sack, without saying a word, and that's exactly what happens in the world, nothing fancy for 5 minutes to redeem etc., then death. In addition to revenge, the game talks about empathy, something that many people do not feel, did the other side of the coin, so it was amazing to play with an abby, although I still prefer Ellie. The genius of the end was incredible, or the emptiness in which abby and Ellie fight, symbolizing how they feel about the whole story, abby had her goal completed, Ellie did not, but nothing else was left to her since she saw everything that was not there. Joel back and still had Jesse and the Star. The boats too, or the abby's boat turned to the sea to move on, and Ellie's boat towards the land, the abby has already done his revenge, lost people too but the goal was completed and he became a better person and he was ready to move on, already at Ellie, continuing the story of revenge. I love Ellie's ending very much, the biggest fear was being alone and unfortunately it was, in my head I hope you went to Jackson and reconciled with Dina. Tommy, a guy who has weights on his back, but was also being a better person again, became obsessed with revenge too (the loss of his eye symbolizes being blinded by revenge) and had problems with Maria, something that I think ended after the death of his father, who broke up with Owen.

    The game is incredible, I never felt anything like it, but some things spoil the presence of some bugs, but they don't interfere much in the gameplay, and frustrations with the listening mode, as they sometimes don't catch or affect them, are being exhibited.    … Expand

Most people hated the ending as they thought the entire plot was pointless considering she lost almost everyone and everything to kill her and ended up not doing it.

    But I believe it was better that way. During the ending I was low key hoping Ellie would just end up forgiving Abby... And then it actually happened. We see a flashback to Elie preparing to forgive Joel and just as she was drowning Abby, she remembers this and realises that this isn't what he would've wanted. She forgives her.

    The whole point of her going back to kill Abby after settling in the farm was to find CLOSURE. She needed to stop seeing Joel everywhere. The only way to find that closure was by finishing this. But at the very end, she realises that just by forgiving her, she finds that closure she longs for. She is happy with her decision. That's what we all want.

    At the end, when no one is at the farm, it's not over yet. Dina and the kid most likely just went to live at Jackson since it must be lonely to live for months alone with a baby. We see Ellie going there as well to join her love and her son.

    People who say all this was a waste of time and that she killed all those people for nothing are only partially right. In the end, she got what she wanted. She released revenge doesn't solve everything.    … Expand

    Masterpiece. Best game of the generation next to Witcher 3. Better than the first game. The gameplay, story, music and enviroment are among the best I have played.

    I never played the first part and I think that was a mistake. The Last of US Part II catched me like no other game before. The graphics are gorgeous and the music and effects are on place. The story hooked me like no game before.

    I'm going to dive right into this. I LOVED THIS GAME!!! It made me feel responsible for once! most games I kill blindly and without remorse as there is no real emotional connection between you and the npc's.

I know a lot of negative reviews seem to focus on the fact that you don't agree with what Ellie is doing in this game. I think that this is the point. The game finally makes you feel bad for killing. I often times found myself stealth a lot more, to avoid killing NPC's. Unpopular opinion...I prefer the sequel to the first game. I love the aspect of walking a mile in another persons shoe's aspect. I love the love triangles, I love the artistic way they show comparisons between Ellie and Abby, I love the fact that they don't focus on Ellie being a lesbian as it should just be a normal thing, I love the real fear that a character you love might just die at any moment. The list goes on. 10 outta 10 would recommend!… Expand

    This game is controversial. But its a lie to say this is not a great game.

    It's not right to review-bomb a game that you haven't even spent some time in or given a chance. I watched TheRadBrad play the whole thing through and while yes, there were certainly... unexpected moments, the game as a unified whole is nothing short of a masterpiece--linear storytelling perfected. If you haven't gotten around to playing or watching it yet, I highly recommend that you do.

The 2nd, is what I thought, of which I'm going to be spoiler free, so I won't hit on certain subjects. At the end I will refer to the leaks, but not in detail.


    Wow, well what can I say about this game. This game is intense, it is infuriating, it is ingenious, it is immoral, it is incredible. There's a lot of words there beginning with I. I did that, as I see a lot of negative reviews using I. "I wouldn't of done that". "I don't agree with that" etc. Now, I'm not discounting ALL the negative reviews, people are entitled to their opinions. However when you give a game a 5 out of 10 (hell less than a 7), because you say it's not what "you would have done". Sorry my dudes, but the game isn't about you.

    An example of this that I'll give, and I won't refer to them by name. This reviewer said things like, they wouldn't have done that. They didn't understand or couldn't relate to, how the main character would do what they did, because of what happens to them. That they didn't like how part 2, forced them to play as if they killed a certain character at the end of part 1, and they're adamant they didn't. Things like that last part, are what you need to keep an eye out for. You have to kill that character at the end of part one, it's not a choice, part 1 forces you to do that. You can't complete the game if you don't. So straight away, you know this reviewer is full of it. Then the fact that they can't separate what they would do irl, from what a character would do in a video game. So to them, the narrative of the game is a mess, that doesn't make sense, so they give it a 5. You can't do that.

    To me, the story of the last of us, is about the characters in the game, what decisions they would make, faults and all. Ultimately, it's about the story Naughty Dog wanted to tell, we're just along for the ride. Most of these negative reviews are attention seeking trolls, and review bombers, but not all.


    The last of us part 2, took everything that was groundbreaking with the first game, and cranked it up. This game is one of the most technologically impressive games of the generation. It's level, sound and environmental design is exceptional, it's **** beautiful, to put it simply. Combat is fluid, and probably the best I've played this gen. Every encounter is harrowing. Each kill is brutal, and the fact that every enemy has a name, which the other npcs will call out when finding their body, just adds to horror. I won't even touch on the feels about the dogs. [Insert sad face]

    The story, however divisive, is one of the best I've ever experienced. That being said, when I think about the story. Sometimes I loved it, and at times, I straight up hated it. Which just made me love it more, because it provoked such an emotional response from me. That's the point. They perfectly crafted the game to do that. They want you to feel every moment, love and hate. That's what makes some of the story beats hit so hard, and gameplay choices make sense, once you've completed the game.

    That's the biggest thing. PLEASE complete the game, then make your decision. Multiple times even. You can't take the leaks at face value. Some are true, some are just straight out lies, but all are taken out of context. Once you've played through the game, with all the facts, what Naughty Dog did with the story, makes perfect sense. You can see everyone's side of the story, you can understand everyone's motivations, and why they do what they do, or don't in some cases.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first ever review here, although I played many games in my life. The reason I'm writing it is because I think this game received a lot of undeserved negative reviews... From insecure people who can try and grow over themselves to see a bigger (and brighter) picture.

    I understand that for many players the first part became the beloved game of the decade, creating high expectations for the Part II. But listen me out...

    Ellie. There were obvious clues in the first game that Ellie was homosexual and I'm not even talking about the kiss itself. Remember how awkwardly she tossed the adult magazine out of the car window? If you are disappointed by her being gay despite the beauty of the game and its compelling and complex narrative, go read some books, schedule a visit to a psychotherapist or other mental health professional. Discuss it with him/her. Before you grow old and become your racist homophobic uncle.

    Joel. You are disappointed that Joe is dead? I get it. But that's because you watched too many marvel movies. How many people (and infected) did he kill in the first game? He survived all of those encounters. He even survived a major injury which I find hard to believe but nonetheless he survived against all odds. That's more unbelievable than what actually happened to him in the beginning of the Part II.

    Abby. Her story shows us that she has higher ethical standards than our stubborn protagonist Ellie. She sparred Ellie's life twice and despite that Ellie returned to kill her, losing (once again) her new family — Dina and JJ... As well as her little and ring fingers and thus her ability to play guitar, which reminded her of Joel.

    This is a beautiful game with engaging mechanics and complex characters. We can witness the consequences of their decisions and take a note to become better versions of ourselves.    … Expand

They are each the heroes of their own stories, a fact which for many consumers, has become hard to comprehend. Gameplay is a major improvement overall, including mechanics which aid those who would otherwise struggle to play such games. The visuals and gameplay is outstanding, but the real star is the storytelling. Bold, dividing... a tour de force that has many talking about.

The story is hard to play, leaves you wanting more, but is absolutely fulfilling on both ends. It really does show you how hate can consume you, and that forgiveness is the true route to freeing yourself of that consumption. This game is, without a doubt, a must play.

    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.
