    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you expect uncharted 4 with zombies you may as well not buy it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Uncharted! But this game is an emotional roller-coaster containing everything:
    - violent endings
    - empathy and moral dilemma - gore and terror
    - revenge and pain
    - teardrops and anger
    - love

    It’s basically entertainment for grownups, not children. It’s a story that makes you feel and it seems that some people can’t handle that. Spoilers below:

    You’ll probably be as shocked as I was when Negan killed my favorite characters in The Walking Dead when Joel dies. You will feel betrayed and hurt. I believe some people gave the game a bad review solely because of that twist in the game. Same thing happened to the walking dead tv series. A lot of people quit the show because of that. Except real fans.

    Don’t worry though. Joel will be present throughout the game. Abby is another great character you get to know and love. The dynamics of this love/hate relationship between you and the characters as well as between the characters themselves is emotional and well done. There’s seldom a game that has put me through so many different feelings and emotions. Abby is an intriguing character. I love how the game portraits her. She’s not conventional at all and after reading some other reviews of the game I can’t help but comment on this: 1) the game couldn’t care less about explaining her gender identity because it wasn’t needed to be explained. If you think she’s a trans or gay or whatever, that says more about you than the character. 2) Ellie was always a gay character and that’s not a spoiler, have you even played the previous game?

    The ending is open. It’s room for more storytelling. Ellie’s journey has not ended. Neither has Abby’s.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It disappoints me that’s so many people have given this game such bad reviews. This game is incredibly well thought out. I loved the story because it wasn’t what I expected and every character had layers, instead of a linear personality. Having Joel die so soon was a shock, and I was angry at first, but I understood that’s the point! This event is what drives the entire story of the game and it’s supposed to make you feel upset. The aim of this game isn’t to make the player feel comfortable and to reminisce about the Joel and Ellie duo we all loved in the first game, it’s meant to make you feel unsafe and scared about what could be next. For a game to evoke these kind of emotions in the player just shows that it is more than just a game. They want you to experience it as the characters would, and let’s not forget the incredible graphics in this game! They worked so hard on every single little detail like the way Ellie’s backpack moves when she walks, the way thin ice breaks, the hand movements when Ellie plays the guitar, and my favourite, how the cables/ropes in the game move/are coiled. One thing I particularly loved, was how the cut scenes and game play seamlessly transition into one another, something the first game didn't have. I was engaged in the story from start to finish and I couldn't be happier with the result. Incredible game play, graphics and attention to detail!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR: Don't understand the negative reviews, game was stellar in graphics and design alone (at least a 7/10) - story was complex and emotional (10/10) for me. If you wanted the same story from TLOU1, play TLOU1!

    I have been a Naughty Dog fan for a long time - fell in love with them with the Uncharted series. I have been gaming since the PS2, but really don't enjoy online games like Fortnite or Call of Duty Online - really enjoy single player games with lots of storytelling (Naughty Dog's specialty).

    I have played (and loved) the The Last of Us - and waited patiently a long time for this game to come out, even making sure that I borrowed a friends PS4 Pro to see the game in 4K with HDR. I did not watch any leaks or look for any spoilers before playing - I wanted to get the full experience the first time.

    Gameplay (10/10): Very similar to TLOU1 with the addition of jumping. Basic premises are the same - you're trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Crafting, skill upgrades, and weapon upgrades are similar to TLOU1 - except for skills you have to find guidebooks hidden around the environment to unlock new "channels" to upgrade on each character, which are upgraded with pills you find in the environment. Weapons are upgraded with parts you find around in the environment - and completed at weapons benches you must find as well. The weapons upgrades had some of the coolest animations I've seen in a game. Just like TLOU1 - weapons and some resources are scarce. If you expect to go in guns blazing into every enemy encounter, you will likely find that you die often and don't carry much resources around. To me this makes sense as you're in a post-apocalyptic, scavenged world.

    Enemy AI was impressive to me. Addition of dogs added an extra challenge, but enemies were very responsive to changes in the environment - which caused them to change their searching patterns and even go so far as to look under cars and in hiding places. Pretty normal 3PS gameplay otherwise.

    Graphics and Animation (10/10): Some of the most amazing graphics I've ever seen in a video game - Uncharted 4 and RDR2 are the only games I can think of that comes close. After I beat the game I bought the art book - and just ordered a limited edition print of concept art from the game for decorating my room. Every scene seemed incredibly realistic - and the lighting and animation were stellar. Some of the vistas and lighting effects left me with tears in my eyes and jaw on the floor. Motion capture was great as always, as well as some incredible voice acting.

    Story (10/10): A lot of the negative reviews I've read seem to focus on Joel's death and playing as Abby. To me, Naughty Dog has always pushed the boundaries of storytelling. And as someone who has studied a bit of film in college, people who push the boundaries will often receive initial blowback and negativity, but turn out to be lauded later on. I think the same is true here. Naughty Dog took a risk and defied a normal story telling and plot structure - and to be fair, warned us that 2 would not be the same as 1. And it wasn't - 1 had a great father-daughter dynamic that was destroyed in 2. Although if you go back and play 1, in the epilogue you can see that dynamic change when Joel lied to Ellie.

    When Joel was killed - we all felt the hurt and shock - I've seen some describe it as a punch in the gut. That's what it was intended to do. You were supposed to hate Abby at the beginning - it was supposed to make you rethink everything from 1 and what you'd seen so far in 2. For me, the shock of Joel dying made my sad and upset - and thirsty for revenge. But as we played as Abby and saw her backstory, we came to see her motivations for revenge - and knew where that was getting her. Friends and family dead - nobody left to care. I thought that the flashbacks were well placed and made sense - and also provided some time to play with Joel and Ellie again. The astronaut scene in the museum brought tears to my eyes - and reminded me of what Abby took away.

    The "ending" with Abby was anticlimactic for some - but so many things in life are that way. Not everything ends with closure or understanding- but to me if you paid attention and listened to what the story was saying, you saw that Ellie realized that killing Abby would get her nowhere. She would be (and ended up) alone, sad, disconnected - killing Abby would not bring back Joel. The final scene brought me back to the beginning, and showed me how unfair Abby's actions were - how Ellie was going to try and reconcile with Joel before she took that all away. I cried like a baby.

    Good storytelling makes us feel emotions - all sorts of emotions. Stories aren't designed to always be happiness and rainbows. Sometimes they show us the cold hard truth, This story made me hurt, it made me angry, it made me think. That's what true story telling does - makes us think and feel - and this game did it like no other I've seen before.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have now finally finished the game after 33 hours, and I feel ready to give my review. With every game I play, I always look for certain key points: Story, Dialogue, Characters, Details, Gameplay, Graphics, Music/Audio, Meaning/Emotion and Afterthought. For me, The Last of Us Part 2 is revolutionary is every single key point, and I don't need to write a novel about how beautiful the game is, how awesome the gameplay is or how extreamly detailed it is. No one thinks otherwise, no matter how much someone dislikes the story. The main theme of the story is "the different sides to a conflict". And it's kind of poetic, that this is exactly what is happening to the games fan base right now. To understand the message Naughty and Co. Is trying to give, there is a point to consider from the first game: The final scene with Ellie and Joel, we hear Ellie talk about her time after her and Riley getting bit. Ellie talks about her waiting to die, and we get a feeling the reason she's been this happy and positive kid throughout the entire game, was because she felt her time was overdue.
    And by giving her immunity to the Fireflies, her (and Rileys) death would mean something. Her life would have meant something. And Joel took this away from her. So when the thing with Joel happened in Part 2, her old feelings of needing her life to matter, returned. Including the feeling of impending doom/knowing you will die soon. She already had a sort of PTSD long before Part 2. When she finally reach Abby, and actually are mere seconds away from getting what she wants, and what she thinks will put the visions of Joel's bloody and lifeless body to rest, she still sees Joel. The PTSD visions doesn't go away by doing this. And when Abby is dead, then what? Will the act of killing her be the one thing that makes Ellie's life have meaning? Does she have to replace Abby with someone new, for Ellie's life to have meaning?

    The final scene is Ellie leaving Joel's Guitar, and leaving the farm. She has finally let him go. Let him rest, and now will try to find a new meaning with her life. Maybe Dina? Little Potato? Back to Jackson? We may never know, but that's the beauty of it all. Another thing worth mentioning: Neither Abby or Ellie know why any of them is after each other. Ellie doesn't know Joel killed Abby's dad, and Abby doesn't know Ellie was the immune girl. What would have happened if they had just talked about it? Sometimes the refusal to listen to each other's motivation in a conflict, can destroy entire communities and families, and if we just listen to each other, we may actually find peace for once.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm so saddened by all of the negative, hateful reviews of this game.

    The Last of Us 2 is probably one of, if not THE BEST GAME I've EVER played in my entire life (and I'm in my mid 30's).

    --Gameplay--
    TLOU 2 takes everything good about the first game and combines it with everything that makes the Uncharted series of games so fun to play with heightened mobility and more streamlined controls.

    There are more weapons with more customization options and more ways to get through combat in such a satisfying way. Snipe from a distance, shotgun blast up close, use smoke bombs and trip mines (my favorite) to really level the playing field against tough and satisfying opponents.

    Everything that sucked (yes.. sucked) about TLOU 1 was removed from this game (using palettes to get Ellie across water, etc) and what's left is one of the most satisfying control and combat systems in a game I've ever played.

    --Story--
    Here's where people REALLY go off the deep end in their hate for this game, which is both moronic and just overall deeply deeply sad.

    Joel is NOT a hero, nor is he supposed to be the pinnacle of admiration. So many people are SO mad about Joel dying, and THAT'S THE POINT. You as the player are supposed to feel enraged at the brutal murder of Joel so that you play as Ellie with a burning, passionate hatred and unstoppable will to get to Abby.

    When you get to that point, you feel triumphant in your quest. But then the game takes a MASTERFUL turn and flips the script. Some might say this is a trope, but mostly people are just angry and upset (and stupid) about being forced to view, feel, and understand the motivation behind the opposition.

    Playing as Abby feels frustrating at first, but there's a glimmer of curiosity as we are plunged into her world and we hope to uncover some deeper understanding as to why Joel was murdered. It's something that is going through Ellie's mind the entire time we are hunting down Abby, and now Naughty Dog is finally giving us a taste of what those motivations are.

    During the time we're playing as Abby, we see an entirely different and new side to the events that are unfolding in Seattle. We are introduced to a very human set of characters that were dehumanized in the eyes of Ellie because of their actions. We are given a rare opportunity to understand our enemy. By the end of Abby's Seattle adventure, we are (if you're not a totally brainless and heartless moron) actually ON HER SIDE!

    Joel selfishly(!) murdered Abby's father, a man who wanted to bring a vaccine to the entire world and was ok with paying a very heavy price for that "victory." Maybe he deserved to die because he devalued the life of one person (Ellie) in favor of others, but these decisions aren't supposed to be easy. None of the decisions in this world/story are easy. Abby is fully justified in her pursuit of murdering Joel to get revenge, and we are exposed to her fragility and sensitivity (and aggression) throughout her half of the game. She could have sailed into the sunset with Owen but instead went back to save the life of the Seraphite children who saved HER life. The story is layered and nuanced in a way no video game narrative has ever felt (to me) in all my years of gaming.

    The Last of Us 2 forces you to see beyond your own selfish, hatred, misguided motivation and understand the opposing views. Most people are upset with that (I think) because most people are just as selfish and fueled by anger and hatred as Joel and Ellie (and Abby).

    At the end of the Seattle chapter of the game, Abby winds up sparing Ellie, leaving her to live with her haunted nightmares of Joel's murder and the fact that her life is "meaningless" because she didn't die when she was supposed to so she could save humanity. When Ellie decides she can't go on without her revenge, she selfishly leaves Dina and the perfect life they've cultivated for themselves so she can pursue her distorted view of justice.

    At the end of the Santa Barbara chapter, Ellie winds up saving Abby's life so they can finally battle to the death. Right before Ellie gets her ultimate revenge, another image of Joel flashes in her head. This time, not one of him dying or as a bloody mess, but an encounter where she promised an attempt at forgiveness. Would killing Abby justify that? Ultimately, no. So she stops. The cycle of killing has to end, and she realizes she has to give up her selfish hatred in order to do what's "right."

    The naysayers who are calling for Abby's death are completely MISSING THE POINT that Naughty Dog's excellent writers are trying to convey. Instead, Ellie returns home to an empty farm and (presumably) decides to go out and fulfill her promise to Joel of forgiveness.

    Bravo to Naughty Dog and the entire voice acting team for such a wonderful story.

Wenn man das Spiel unvoreingenommen spielt und die Charaktere auf sich wirken lässt, dann kommt man nach cirka 3/4 der Geschichte dahin, dass man Abby nicht nur versteht, sondern sie mag. Sie hilft den beiden jungen, flüchtenden Scars, distanziert sich von den Wolfs, lässt Ellie, obwohl sie 2 mal die Gelegenheit hat sie zu töten am Leben ... und ist einfach der nettere Charakter als die von Rachedurst zerfressene, mörderische Ellie. Ich habe mich gefreut, dass Abby am Ende mit Lev in ein neues Leben mit den Fireflies fahren konnte. Mich hat die ganze Geschichte gefesselt, mitgenommen und ... ständig zum Nachdenken über die irre Gewalt zwischen diesen ganzen zersprengten Menschengruppen gebracht, die in dieser beschissenen, apokalyptischen Welt nichts besseres zu tun haben als sich gegenseitig umzubringen. Das einzige Spiel das mich zuvor auf diese Weise bewegt und zum Nachdenken gebracht hat war "Becoming Human".… Expand

Лично мне не понравились первые два дня после первой половины Игры потому как в них не было никакого смысла с точки зрения цельного сюжета, мотивацию одного из главных персонажей раскрыли как то скомкано и то ближе к концу Игры. Тем не менее все минусы что я увидел не перекрывают того факта что игра очень красивая, интересная, трогательная и местами пугающая...Как игра абстрагируясь от первой ее части это 10 из 10, как продолжение 1 части это немного другой проект от которого многие ждали немного другого...Я крайне рекомендую пройти именно до конца, концовка игры может сгладить те шороховатости возникшие в ее середине.… Expand

    Not going into a full review here, but this is an absolutely phenomenal achievement of a game. If you aren't mature enough to handle the subject matter then you don't deserve to play it, simple as that.

    I get some people aren't happy about their favourite character being killed off or playing as the person who is killed him but I loved it.

    People say one action doesn't make up for a person's mistakes in the past so they can't forgive abby but they are quickly forgetting all the things Joel did in between losing his daughter and saving Ellie in order to survive. Her story arch mirrors that of Joel's in some ways. We see both characters get consumed with hate and wanting revenge. Abby gets to take that revenge but then she is left with guilt and is viewed differently by her friends and she doesn't like that. She has nightmares of the past. She then gets saved by the unlikeliest of people, her groups enemies. But she soon finds a purpose again and goes off on her own little adventure. Whilst as Ellie you take the journey to get her revenge and you see where it takes her along the way and how it consumes and changes her. You see both of them go through so much and lose a lot. The game has you constantly up and down with your emotions, naughty dog took risks with the game and I think they have done it wonderfully. The graphics are spectacular as ever and the level of accessibility for other gamers who may need these are just beyond what you'd expect. Naughty Dog you have done amazing with this.    … Expand

    The hate over Abby is rediculous, she had her family and friends murdered just as much as Ellie, and if anyone has a issue with her image, clearly lives in the past, hench women are all over social media so get over it.

    I have given a score out of 7 out of 10 due to certain disappointing content but lets make this clear this isn't a bad game and I would deft say give a play until the end and make your own mind up.

    positive points:
    Stunning Graphics
    Amazing gameplay
    Large open world
    numerous weapon customizations
    Great Melee Fighting
    Long Game

    Negative Points
    Disappointing Story
    Characters not Likeable
    Feeling cheated by Naughty Dog & lied too
    Various Game bugs & Glitches.
    Not a fun game very dark
    Unnecessary violence

    having played around 30 odd hours playing this game I can honestly say I feel cheated by naughty dog , as way back at the announcement of the last of us 2 trailer I recall Neil Druckman saying we care about these characters and we wouldn't do anything to them , hence in the first 2 hours Joel is killed by a very butch looking female by a golf club which was extremely graphic to blood spurting out of Joel's head , which I found was disgusting to kill him off in that way not only did naughty dog piss on the character of Joel but totally miss lead its fans , as I was expecting a better game and continuation from the first last of us , but instead we get a stupid ass revenge plot which a 2 year old could of written. If naughty dog was intending to do this kind of plot and be actually honest with there fans from the beginning , then the fans could of understood better as for mention there's a scene on one of the first trailers where Joel says to Elie do you think I would let you face them alone showing Joel's face to then the actual scene in the game Jessie repeats the exact phrase so again total bull crap from naughty dog as they obviously deleted Joel's face and replaced it with Jessie repeating that phrase.

    Real shame naughty dog couldn't of treated Joel in more respect in giving him the death of like Arthur Morgan in red dead redemption at least Rockstar new how to respect there character instead of finding the most distasteful way of killing him. So I didn't enjoy this part and made viewing this very uncomfortable and if that was naughty dogs way of achieving this then well done naughty dog you did it well done three cheers , but for me playing the game I felt cheated and lied too.

    Anyway lets give the game some credit the graphics are truly beautiful and all the buildings are detailed and there is many ways to explore each building collecting and scavenging as you go as you will need to be careful with your ammo as the harder you set the gameplay then harder it will be to find bullets and weapon upgrades so big tip conserve your ammo. I also like the melee fighting which feels fluid and with each hit and kill it truly does feel you are doing the damage as Elie is one bad **** with how she dispatches anyone who crosses her path to knife kills in the chest or throat with blood spurting out so again be warned it is very graphic

    I did enjoy all the different weapons in the game to the revolver , shotgun , cross bow , to even a sub machine gun at the end so that was fun and you can upgrade each weapon on the weapons' bench spread through out the map. I found the game very detailed to all the level design to all the characters faces so much detail you can tell the designers worked very hard on this.

    Lets talk about the levels and Zombies each level is very well designed and you can even see certain city building that the designers copied from specially noted in the Seattle map with lush grasses to all of the desolate buildings which some are very dark where plenty of the undead are waiting to pounce and there are plenty of different nasties to kill from the runners to stalkers infected bloaters shambles to one big ass baddy at towards the end of the game which i wont spoil.

    If the story had been better written and the game was a continuation from Joel and Elle fighting the dead this would of definitely been a game of the year but due to naughty dogs bad story writing this completely ruined the game as the story plot didn't make sense was miss jointed from one side story flashback then back to Elle and to abbey i found it hard to keep up with what naughty dog was trying to portray as playing over 15 hrs. with one character I didn't expect and to be honest I didn't really enjoy as I kind of got lost with the actual subplot the ending was very poor and didn't really make sense and is not believable and then having played 30 hours I definitely felt cheated as I didn't achieve anything apart from frustration and annoyance of me wasting all that time playing.

    So on my final thoughts would i say buy it well that's a tough one if you didn't play the first game and had no attachment to Joel I would say yes as the game as some nice points but if you are hoping for something like the same as the first game then I would say avoid as you will feel cheated like i di    … Expand

    Graphics- Excellent. Some of, if not the best available on modern consoles. Excellent character models, immersive environments, tons of small details thrown in everywhere to make each area feel unique.

Excellent character models, immersive environments, tons of small details thrown in everywhere to make each area feel unique. The digital acting is amazing, as well, and all the characters seem to move very realistically both in game and in cutscenes. The execution animations are brutally realistic, with flesh handing from faces and gore spattering in every direction, after a close range head shot. Arms being shredded to pieces, with ragged pieces clinging to the split bone from a shotgun blast. Blood pouring in fountains from a neck wound made by a switchblade thrust aggressively into the jugular. Not recommended for the weak of heart, but, absolutely high quality for the themes the game was going for.
    Sound & Music- Again, excellent. The voice acting is movie par, making the characters truly pop to life in every instance. Enemy sound design is well done, as well. Hearing the stacatto growl of a Clicker from just out of your view, echoing softly through an enclosed space makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The whistles of the Scars growing ever closer and more frantic as you take them out one by one adds a real depth to even the most basic of enemies. The sounds of melee weapons bashing against skulls, knives piercing flesh, and enemies gurgling on their own blood as they fall to the ground, enemies crying out for their friends or begging for their own lives as they crawl away injured, even dogs whimpering sadly when they discover the body of their fallen masters, are so well done, its easy to cringe when it all comes together. Environmetally, they really pull you in. Rain falling on different section of a car or different surfaces, sounds different, and exactly how you'd imagine.
    Gameplay- There are many improvements from the first title. Namely, better enemy AI, the ability to go prone, more environmental options (i.e. smashing windows to draw attention or create new routes) and more open areas to explore and devise combat strategies within. One complaint is that certain sections drag on a bit longer than they should, and there are some underwhelming Infected encounters sprinkled throughout, but, as a whole, very well done.
    Story- This will obviously be the most divisive section. As mentioned before, the digital and voice acting is excellent and serves the characters well. The overall story did draw together very well for me, with one particular section mid-way feeling very abrupt, initially, but serving more of a purpose to the overall story by the end. Your mileage may vary, depending on expectations going in, or what sort of stories you generally enjoy. Its decently long for a story based game (25-30 hours), and does tend to feel as if certain sections drag on a bit (see gameplay section), but, by the end it felt very much worthwhile. There are points where it felt as if they may have tried to include too much in the game, but, as a stand alone title, the story is head and shoulders above many other titles. Much like the first, the stand out elements are character moments spread throughout and moral quandaries. My score actually improved a bit after beating the game, and having some time to re-examine and think about certain elements of it. There will be differing ideas on the game logic, plot choices, presentation, or pacing of some certain situations, with no argument (positive or negative) really having 100% accuracy, unless you play it for yourself. I personally found many of the complaints presented for the story to be present in many other very well received titles, the first game included. The fact that this particular section will be either the strongest or weakest element of the game for most shows just how truly divisive the story is, and only proves that personal experience of it overrides hearsay. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a shot, and deciding for yourself. Unfortunately, review bombing and media controversy has skewed the scores fairly drastically (both positive and negative), so an overall consensus will be difficult to find. My final rating falls somewhere between and 8-9/10, with my guess being an average users experience to fall somewhere between a 6-9/10 rating, depending on story preference, No matter your opinion on story, the overall quality of every other element of the game is above and beyond what you could expect from modern titles, so I'd expect nothing less than that.    … Expand

    I'm a HUGE fan of the first game. The story is not as captivating or meaningful in Part II imo. Gameplay, graphics and character modeling are state of the art, but again the story does not hold up to the gravity of the first game. If you're as a big a fan as I am of the first game I am sorry to say... save your money until it is on sale! Yikes... this was not what I was expecting.I'm a HUGE fan of the first game.

    The last of us 2 unfortunately doesn't have a strong story line when compared to its predecessor. The graphics were amazing (one of the best to date) and gameplay was great although there weren't many new additions to the gameplay. The game is still enjoyable with lots of places to explore and collectibles to find but story is a bit lackluster even though the game is heavily focused on the story.

    One of the most emotionally raw experiences I've had playing a video game. Hopefully in time, it gets the appreciation it deserves.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
