    One of the best video games ever created. Negative reviews are written by children who can't stop crying about a certain character's death.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is the best video game experience I've ever seen. Everything here enchanted me, especially the technical aspects, such as the soundtrack and the graphics. The game's story and plot are amazing, showing that in this world, there are no "heroes" and "villains", only survivors, who do everything for love. Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II is the best video game ever made and it's not even close.
    The haters can hate all they want, but this is a fact, TLOU2 is a class above. It has hands down the best (most realistic) stealth and combat systems, the graphics and animations are the best that I have ever seen even in 2023, the soundtrack is stunning, and of course the story and how it's told is unmatched

    It's not a game about revenge it's a story about loss and forgiveness. TLOU2 shows us that when searching for justice, violence is not an option, its a beautiful masterpiece that will always have a place in my heart.
    And I will end my review by this quote form Joel.

    Love it or hate it, The Last of Us: Part 2 is an experience you have to have for yourself. Its dense and thoughtful story is brought to life by stellar performances and a talented team of developers.

    Now this was really hard for... Joel is my favourite character of all time, through and through. Watching him die was unbearable so rightly so I should hate this game.

But I don't, I think its a masterpiece. I think a majority of people who dislike this game haven't played or they didn't experience it properly or aren't open minded enough to understand it. This game isn't wanting to make you feel bad, it wants you to reflect, to show how pointless revenge is. It doesn't make things better, it caused everyone Abby knew to die, and Ellie lost everyone she cared about. The game wants you to feel something whether its a good reaction or not, that's the point of a game and for a video game to be able to create such an intense feeling is genius, not many other games can do that. The story is miserable, and its meant to because its a story about grief. You aren't meant to like Abby but to understand her, she lost her father so she was in the right to hate Joel, whilst Joel was in the right to save Ellie as even though he could have let her save the world, Ellie was Joel's world. Its a game about perspectives. Its not meant to be fun. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand how people rate this game...
    It has one of the most fascinating and plot-twisting story in video game history (in my opinion).
    It is a very mature story about hatred, love, denial and revenge, and with those It is not obvious after all which characters to love, and which to hate.
    Yes, Joel is being killed at the beginning, but this is what makes this story so heartbreaking. No other game gave me that feeling before, and I am grateful and angry at this game at the same time.

    In my opinion, one of the most important stories that everyone should learn about.

    It is true that the script can be very controversial, but in my opinion it creates a powerful, realistic story that stays true to the spirit of the first part. It can be sad af but after finishing the game i can say it brought me some tears of happiness more than once. Can´t wait to see what HBO brings us with the second season.

    The last of us part 2 is probably one of the most inconsistent games of all time. This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting. The controls and combat of the game are a huge improvement from part 1 as it is much more immersive and uses different ways to find treasures, etc. The first half of the game (before we turn to Abby) is near perfect, it has some intense momentsThe last of us part 2 is probably one of the most inconsistent games of all time. This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting. The controls and combat of the game are a huge improvement from part 1 as it is much more immersive and uses different ways to find treasures, etc. The first half of the game (before we turn to Abby) is near perfect, it has some intense moments and also keeps a fairly well-balanced pace. Until we get to the second half where I believe the final 3 hours should've been turned into its own last of us game because the ending feels very rushed and with a game like this, it should've been much more spread out. Also another negative about the game is that the game makes you feel miserable, watching a "beloved' character get tortured and killed or shooting dogs doesn't make you feel good and this makes another problem of the game, Pacing. One of the most important parts of a game is the pacing, and the pacing for this game is **** terrible, after watching Joel die, you then go onto a peaceful adventure looting chests and finding clues slowly, If a game had this, it wouldn't be boring most of the time, but the fact that we watched Joel die a gruesome death before, makes this game have a very weird narrative for the beginning of the game. I still do think that the stealth of this game is **** amazing and makes you feel SUPER tense while playing. overall the game had the potential to be incredible, but naughty dog being naughty dog, had to make it controversial and surprise the reader lol. Overall it's very hard to rank this game because when I think of all the amazing things of the game, I wanna give it a 9, but then when I think of the huge problems, it makes me wanna give it a lower score. Overall I do enjoy this game and the score of it doesn't matter so even though it's shown as a 10 (mainly to boost the score cause this game is much better than a 5/10) it's more of a GOOD/10 because this is Mr Morale & The Big Steppers Dialled up to 11 Expand

    This is an emotionally manipulative journey that forces you understand and empathize. Before you know it you care for characters you thought you hated. Your forced to play both sides of a conflict that you just want to end, and I never felt negatively towards any of it I was just in pure awe of the experience and knew there’s was no stopping the actions of these characters.

    The world is beautiful, wondrous, dark, and disgusting all at the same time. The “gametography” is as if not even more beautiful than the first game, so many perfect shots can be found here.

    The combat is perfectly visceral, sly, brutal, and explosive.

    This is yet again another masterful achievement in gaming from Naughtydog. I’m so happy that I loved this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game advances with the story in a way that nobody wants, we all want our beloved characters to continue their development, but this changes after joel's death, even so while you advance with a sour taste you begin to understand the message he wants to give and you start to feel a new taste, the way the story is carried out fits perfectly with the world of the last of us, a world where nobody is special, there is no hero who will never die, we are all equal and we all have a story behind us, and everything can be refuted quickly. This game has been quite an experience and I personally think it's the best game around gameplay and story. The best thing is that I bought it for 9 dollars but if I had to buy it at the launch price I would do the same because it deserves to be spent after giving me more than 3 continuous days playing, it is true that it lasts less but if you give it time to get to know and explore the whole game you have for a while Expand

    There are reviews of people who I don't think even finished the game, the game is a premium gift for us gamers with brutally phenomenal graphics, every detail in the game is excellent.

    Yes, I understand the story and seeing how Abby kills Joel and then making you play with our hero's murderer is something that you don't see much in video games, but little by little you understand how each person has a different story and Since sometimes we don't think that each head is a life seen from a different perspective and I loved that from tlof part 2- .

    I think it was not a game for everybody obviously because it could not please everyone but for me it is an excellent game, and on PS5 with 60 frames the game runs georgeous, I will give The Last of Us Part 2 a 10 out of 10

    This is a Premium game for premium people not casual gamers, awesome game with outstanding graphics, sound
    and gameplay. Chef kiss **

    This game is a Masterpiece! Pure and simple.

    I debated about playing the Last of Us Part II mostly based on my experience with the first game. I never finished the first game, I got frustrated and moved onto other games. Looking back, I was not in the right state of mind for a slow and steady walk through a story.

    I was on the fence about TLOU2. Initially due to the negative reviews, but then I stumbled across some 'grounded' playthrough and it peaked my interest.

    If you are on the fence as I was, this story was amazing. It's not a "bad guy does something so you need to get revenge" story. It's so much deeper, so many layers. Without spoiling it, I was torn half way through the story, it forces you to consider your decisions and the rippling effect. This game left me looking forward to the 3rd chapter in the series if we are lucky to get one.

    I just finished the game earlier today, felt I needed to leave a review because I initially read the negative reviews here and needed to shed some light for those considering playing this game.

There is really no difference in the game made for people, they understand that this game is really no different from what they see in life, human relations, etc. situations because the psychology of upbringing changes people, the environmental factor makes women this way, this environmental factor is the last point in the game, I have observed in my own life, grown up under pressure. women act like men, if anyone experiences and observes this, they will make a positive criticism anyway. In his opinion, an intelligent person who has created a game completely reflecting his thoughts will immediately notice this situation. Congratulations, the game is heavy, not for people who do not know the truth. There is a mindset that wants the game to be Apex.

    Fue doloroso perder a un personaje como Joel, definitivamente uno de los mejores personajes en la historia de los videojuegos pero seamos objetivos; toda accion tiene una reaccion y este juego nos hace enteder lo crudo que es en una representacion tan real de algo que podria pasar.

    Even though Ellie was gay in the first game, only now have they chose to reveal their hate that stems from their own closeted feelings.

    You can tell it by long essays of reviews in which they try so hard to sound eloquent like a professional critic but then somewhere along the lines you can spot "LGBT" "SJW" "gay" "lesbian" "agenda" and that's when you realize what's the only reason for hate.
    What did those monkey fans except from the second installment?
    A wholesome fun time for Joel and Ellie?
    "Oh no, they killed Joel, the main character"
    Is Joel the main character just because you played most of the game with him in the first game?
    Or maybe it was Ellie all along the way? I'd go as far as to say that Cordyceps is the protagonist of this story, but the most important part is that those monkey fans wanted this game to be just like any other game where you play with the main character - talk about inovation.
    Playing with Abby gave you an insight into her reasons for torturing Joel?
    Who side are you on?
    Joel? A guy who killed bunch of innocent people?
    Or Abby? A girl who never did a bad deed until she avenged her father?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm honestly confused by some of the reviews I see here. I feel like they were playing a different game to me.

    - I can understand being upset that you're favourite character died, but we're living in a post Game of Thrones world here, that's just part of the narrative
    - I can understand (at least on a theoretical level) being annoyed that this game was trying to be inclusive, and add more representation to the main characters - although personally I'm happy to see that, I think it's well overdue in video games. However even if that's something you're against, it seems reductive to reduce the entire rating of the story down to a 0/10 based purely on that.
    - Perhaps a more understandable critique for me is the level of violence in the game, though I have the impression most of the negative reviews are from people who were fans of the first game, and that had just as much violence

    Anyway, maybe I should write more about what I experienced, and less about what others experienced. For me this is the most nuanced story I've seen in a video game. I was a huge fan of the first game, but, with all the love in the world, the first game's story is pretty tried. I think I loved the story despite of the worn out clichés, simply because the delivery of the actors was so fantastic.

    The story here is doing something difference. It's good precisely because it's not a one decided good guys against the bad guys story, but rather the sometimes good guys against the sometimes good guys. There were moments in this game that were completely gut wrenching (not just early on in the game, when the main character is killed), but throughout. The ending especially, I've never cried so much at the ending of a game, and that for me is the highest praise I could give a game.

    The gameplay/visuals/music is much the same as the first game, if this were simply the same story as the first game, continuing, I wouldn't have given this such a high score. However the fact that the story is so unbelievably compelling, is what drives me to give it such a high review.

    In a wholehearted rejection of the predictable feel-good hero’s journey, the narrative of TLOU2 explores the devastating impacts of Joel and Ellie’s choices, drawing the player into an abyssal whirlpool of emotion from which there is little reprieve.

Extremes of love, fury, fear, grief, regret and redemption are realistically depicted through the game’s cast of refreshingly deep, flawed and diverse characters, who have evolving personalities justified by their background, relationships and experiences. Its exceptional writing is enhanced through gorgeously rendered cutscenes with stunning cinematography, top-quality voice acting and animation, excellent music and sound design, and immersive gameplay which greatly improves upon the simple-yet-satisfying rhythms established in previous entry.

    In-game environments are impressively realistic and rich with detail, noticeably lacking the usual asset repetition. As you make your way through infested ruins, overgrown cities patrolled by hostile humans, and settlements where the remnants of civilization are attempting to survive and rebuild, you will find that each area has its secrets - everything from vital crafting materials, to books which unlock new and powerful skill paths, to letters and other grim discoveries which together paint a poignant picture of the brutal world of TLOU.

    The game’s application of tension is masterful, with the player being kept on their guard through a mixture of peaceful exploration, delightfully unpredictable scripted events, stealth scenarios, and high-intensity action during which the player teeters on the edge of a horrible demise. Caution and attentiveness is rewarded while complacency and poor preparation are appropriately punished. Enemy AI is smarter than ever and the addition of several new enemy types keeps encounters fresh and challenging. Resource availability on Survivor difficulty feels ‘just right’, with success requiring thorough exploration, crafting and careful resource management. A broad suite of accessibility options offers unparalleled accommodation to the player.

    Though NaughtyDog’s approach has proved polarizing to fans, I’m of the firm opinion that TLOU2 represents a quality standard that future developers should aspire to. When paired with its predecessor, the series offers a journey that everyone should experience and judge for themselves.
