    Thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish. Have played through it twice and thought the story, characters, gameplay and overall experience were great. I truly think this game is on par with the first and will be considered a masterpiece when people look back at it in the future .

The amount of symbolism & catharsis that you get as a spectator along with Ellie by the end is one of the most dynamic & fulfilling interactions I've ever had the pleasure to experience within this character-spectator bond. Whether you loved or completely disliked the game, something undeniable is how the story will linger on your mind for the better or for worse which will continue to make it a game that gives a lot to talk about for the years ahead, that in itself makes it once again the game of the generation, not to mention how it arrives at the most fitting time ever however this is a factor that will result in both its blessing & its curse since its final message revolves around mental peace something that many people throughout 2020 have struggled to connect with the most.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 give us a new story in the same universe and with some of the same main characters of the first game. It also have a good amount of new ones. The main motivation for this story is a direct consequence of the events that happened on the first TLoU.

    The game play follow much of the first game adding some new movements (as crawl and rope climbing/swinging/jumping) and some new mechanics (as the rope mechanic). Ellie's knife is unbreakable (witch turn things a little bit easier) and the improvements ah more-or-less in a "skill tree" arrangement.

    [SPOILERS AHEAD]

    - About Main Story:

    The mains story is well designed and you can really relate with Ellie's feelings.
    The begging of the game makes us feel the same hate that Ellie feels, as we love Joel as much as she (because of the first game). So you can relate with his anger and the pursuit for revenge.

    As the player advances through game you see a couple of flashbacks that explains the relationship between Joel and Ellie after the ending of the first game. Here are some of the most beautiful scenes of game (maybe both games), like the museum one.

    At the end you will be just like Ellie: hollow. This isn't a game that makes you happy or gives you the satisfaction of the obvious and comfortable ending.

    - About "The Other Side" of Story:

    The other protagonist (or antagonist as you wish), Abby, has strong motivations for her actions and the game tries to show you that.
    Is it really hard to relate and have empathy for her since we had a entire game to learn to love Ellie. Is it really painful to play with Abby after seeing what she done and is specially painful to play with her at the final battle of her campaign.

    There are some characters the are underdeveloped, like the WLF leader , Isaac. I'd love to know a little bit more of his story, but it is understandable that when writing a story you have to make some choices as not every character can have the same "screen time".

    - Footnotes:

    The only thing the really made me disappointed was the lacking of a multiplayer mode. I'd really love to have a multiplayer mode like in the first game. But this was no surprise as Naughty Dog had has already told us that there was not going to be one.

    PS.:
    To the ones that are afraid because the haters speech, the game is great. The story is great. The sexuality of Ellie is just another layer of her personality witch helps to make her feel real (and isn't the main point of the game at all). This is a story about hate and revenge and it accomplishes it's purpose.    … Expand

I have watched the first 2 hours of the game through youtube before buying the game to see what the fuss was about and why people hated the story, and I understood why, I was the same with those people, but I bought the game anyway after that because I wanted to experience and let my own review reflect on the game instead of agreeing with a a person review, after playing and finishing the game, I understand why naughty dog went towards this path for the story, there are some part to the story I did not like but had to be played, honestly, this game is the best game I have played so far, much more challenges and more activity to do in the game than we got in the first game, more story telling and sad scenes, anyone who just puts the review up without playing the game needs to play and finish the game instead watching someone else play and give their review of the game… Expand

The second has lived up to my hopes and expectations - it’s a unique, controversial, violent, beautiful and emotional journey that only Naughty Dog could create.

    When played as a sequel, you can hardly recognise the choices and careless attitude shown by Joel and by Tommy. Elly may have change, she was just a child in LoU-1. Perplex by the lack of survival instinct and destructive life choices, OK, maybe. But it feels like one of those films where you just cry watching ”for crying out loud, are you mental?”. Stupidity forced on you (decided for you) by the Naughty Dog script, that is not a game you enjoy playing.

    Action is repetitive, most combat goes about the same way. The undestructive knife was not very fun, why bother with other weapons.
    Amazing graphics and facial expressions.

    All in all / a boring game to play that forces you to take decisions that feel stupid, instead of the brilliant morally complex decisions from LoU 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get into it, I have played the game and have finished it. So I have put in the however many hours it took to get it done. This is an outstanding game and it is some of the best writing for a video game you are going to experience. There is one caveat to my time with it. I am new to the Last of Us franchise, so I did not have the experience of "waiting years for this." I played through part 1 and then immediately dove into part 2, so it is certainly possible that improved my experience. There are some plot holes and some character's behave in ways that are very inconsistent. These things did not detract from my experience at all.

    Yes, the game's heroine is a lesbian, GASP! And there are female/female love making scenes, GASP! For the trolls that have highlighted this as the main problem, SMH.

    Yes, Joel dies very early on in the game. I know this has been a major bone of contention for many. And, as you work through the game, it turns out, Abby was probably more justified in killing him than Ellie is in avenging him. Dude killed Abby's Dad. Come on people. Ellie also finds out that Joel was completely lying to her, in a major way.

    I am glad to see the gamer ratings going up for this game. It shows that people are actually working through it and figuring out the trolls are trolls. Hopefully one of the trolls has also actually played it and discovered the errors of their ways. Somehow I doubt that though.

    As for the game play, it's not perfect and the main reason I am not going with a 10 rating. Many have called the game play, "clunky" and I think this is a good description for it. The game is also close combat heavy. Which is fine, and I would have appreciated more opportunity for long distance sniping. I was disappointed that you don't get access to a silenced long gun until the last 2 hours or so of the game.

    All this being said, I really enjoyed playing The Last of Us, Part 2 and I cannot wait until the end of the trilogy on the PS5 ... If part 2 looked this good, damn, just wait for 3 ..    … Expand

The gameplay (while the difficulty ratings were slightly sandbagged) felt smooth and innovative, and well utilized the presence of two unique playable characters. Playing as Abby, I expected to be playing a reskinned Ellie, but she really did feel like a unique character in the way you approach situations. Story wise, I don't know that I've ever felt such pain and heartbreak for a set of characters. By the final scenes, I really just wanted everyone to walk away and go home or go on with their lives, even though I knew that couldn't be the way it ended. Excellent work by everyone on the team, and an excellent game. Just make sure you are in the right headspace for it… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well. I can understand why people are saying that this game sucks. It is because most of us aren't ready to look inside of your ugliness and understand that revenge isn't a good thing, that It'll make you suffer, you'll probably lose everything and, in the end, you'll become a monster. Gamers aren't ready, they're not mature enough to understand such topics, to feel the pain, to understand that there's always two sides of one history and it doesn't matter if the other seems to be the villain... They had their reasons to do it, they have a story behind and they're, above it all, humans with feelings. The tragedy in Abby's life can show us that she had, in her vision, a reason to kill Joel. Joel had a reason to kill Abby's dad, because he saw in Ellie a new chance to protect a daughter since he couldn't do it in TLOU... People are saying this is a bad game because they aren't ready to feel and be true to themselves and be able to understand that Abby is a good person, Ellie is a good person, Joel was a good person, Manny was a good person and even Isaac was a good person, this game is about being alive and fighting for your existence and, in some point of "surviving" you'll forget about being a human. For me, TLOU Part II is a masterpiece, it makes you think about stuff you already did in your life, makes you feel terrible about some choices, makes you evaluate what really matters in the end. Naughty Dog, thank you so so much for this incredible experience.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilliant game. Don't worry about the haters, and if you're still not sure, make sure you're looking at reviews with constructive criticism, and not just hating on Neil or the ending, or the death scene.

    One question you need to ask yourself when playing this game is WHY these characters are making these choices. Ellie and Abbey are completely parallel and mirrored in their choices, except, Abbey is a story of redemption whereas Ellies is of revenge. The pacing of the game at times may be off, i'll agree, and the enemies overall are not as intimidating as before, especially when playing as Abbey, however the story is beautifully crafted and a wonderful tale of revenge, and what it can cost you. A story of love, and how important it is to hang onto it especially in these post apocalyptic times.

    If you don't empathize with Abbey after playing as her for 10+ hours, then i don't blame you, HOWEVER, you have to absolutely see where she's coming from having had her father killed by Joel; a random person she's never met. I'll admit, by the end, i felt so, so strongly for Abbey, more than Ellie, and she quickly became my new favourite character as she was completely fleshed out and complex.

    The game is brutal, and unforgiving, and does not make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, and in fact, will CONSTANTLY disgust you, but that's what it sets out to do.

    For those who hate the ending, again, don't blame you, but it makes total sense. Ellie forgave Joel, someone who in her eyes made an unforgivable choice, so in that moment, she made sure to forgive Abbey, to save her own soul. Realizing that murdering her will bring her nothing, just like how Abbey killing Joel actually made her lose much much more than just her father

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First time writing a review, but I've been in a daze for the past 24 hour since finishing the game, and I don't know what else to do. This game is absolutely incredible. And not because it makes you feel good. Not because it's "fun." But because it moves you, if you let it.

    Story: The storytelling style is very similar to a novel containing viewpoints of not only the protagonist, but also the antagonist. This style allows the reader, or in this case the player, to obtain greater context about the story world, and the overall experience becomes richer for it. Brandon Sanderson's work comes to mind here, as he often devotes large chunks of each book to writing from the perspective of "the bad guy." In a similar style, TLOU2 forces the player to live through the eyes of "the bad guy," Abby. in doing so, you realize that she's more than just a 2-dimensional villain. If you allow yourself to, you'll begin to understand her motivations, and even perhaps respect them. Hell, by the end of it, I really liked Abby. And believe me, when I first started playing through her chapters I was upset and caught off guard. But go along with it; the writers know what they're doing.

    The greatest part about this is that by the end of the game, not only do you get to see Ellie make her game-ending decision about what to do with Abby, but if you've been playing along and paying attention, you will likely have also made that same decision. The writers beautifully succeeded in following one of the age-old rules of writing: show, don't tell. They don't just show you Ellie's internal conflict about whether she should kill Abby. They make you feel that conflict yourself. Well done Naughty Dog, well done.

    Gameplay: As with the first game, the mechanics were spot on and exploring the world was a lot of fun. A mix of stealth and bash-em-up fisticuffs keep things interesting.

    Visuals: Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning.

    Soundtrack: listening to it right now. Gustavo, you are an angel.

    Summary: People have every right to dislike the game, but you should play it before you judge it. I've talked to many people that won't play the game because they don't want to play as Abby. That would be the same as refusing to read a novel because there are chapters from the point-of-view of a character you think you won't like, despite the amount of global context and character development contained within those chapters. Naughty Dog, you all did a phenomenal job, and I'd love to see another game. Whatever you do next, keep up the great work.    … Expand

Сценарий лучше бы написал даже второкурсник тверского кинематографического училища, ну, нельзя так бездарно распорядиться Джоелом. Дыри в сюжете размером с Техас, персонажи убоги и тупы, их действия нелогичны и глупы. Игра затянута по ощущениям часов на 12 (я, тыкаясь во все углы, прошел за 27). Были парочка реально классных моментов, чего стоит только исполнение Элли песни «take on me”. Игра и так то блистала всеми цветами радуги, если вы понимаете, о чем я, но появление трансгендера ближе к концу игры... признаюсь, маляты, папочка был не готов. Из плюсов: графен и пара отличных эпизодов. Красная цена рублей 800-1000. Брать по заявленой цене, лучше просто затопите этими деньгами мангальчик, полезней будет. Не повторяй моих ошибок, путник, обойди эту парашу стороной.… Expand

    As a video game is great, excellent graphics, gameplay and scenarios. But I can't separate it from its story, which is bad; and I think it messes up the half part of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a great game, I haven’t seen a game with visuals like this, it’s pretty impressive the level of realism and details this game has. Set high the bar. the gestures and conversations in each dialogue are enjoyable, maintains a high level of interest in the player, goes from more to more, the story cannot be liked by many but the message came perfectly to me, we always tend to demonize those who believe the enemy without knowing what drives the character, we never thought in theirs interests, they are just people trying to revenge as Ellie wants to. I played this game and felt short for me but it wasn’t, it’s the story, mechanics, the gameplay, the tension, all in one make a great cocktail in this game. Personally I prefer this game over first one, I understand the rage of the people and fans but we have to remember there are no heroes here, just persons with the bad and good what represents being humans, I love Joel but I know he did bad things for his convenience. The inclusion it’s not forced, it’s very organic and represents the reality of some people, Abby is a great character but at the first I hated her because the game wants you to hate her, when I started playing with her I wanted to turn off the game, but advancing you understand why, I don’t love Abby but I understand, and I sympathize with her, I’d do the same, but we already know the cost of that. This game once you finish it, let you thinking and thinking, reflecting and you love it more, I felt is a path of hard emotions won’t let you with a good feelings, it’s bitter, in fact I didn’t want to play again the game just remembering what that entailed, but I did and saw other thing I didn’t when I played it for the first time, places, dialogues, collectibles etc. This deserves the must play stamp, give it a opportunity it’sa very personal game.… Expand

The fact that critics rated the game so highly and literally the entire gaming community is trashing on the game is proof of the fact. Amazing visuals and music. I liked the gameplay but its A STORY game lol the STORY was VERY VERY BAD. Imagine a MAIN character who the entire community of the game loved and cared about being tortured in front of his "DAUGHTER" and killed in front of her eyes. LOL as a story okay you choose to do that fine but remember you are making the game for the people like who in their right mind would want to see that happen even if it was for the plot it doesn't make any sense. delusional director I wish Bruce did TLOU2 the retired. Oh well whats done is done but now you guys should have a good understanding on how these massive critics are just fake and who to trust.

Gameplay 10/10, it’s a shame there’s no multiplayer because the level design is so good. Story 9/10. Yes it was sad to see Joel go so early in the game but his story was done and over with. I was conflicted playing as Abby, I wanted that girl to DIE then I started to like her, then I began to like her more than Ellie. The flashbacks and time spent with Joel were such a great change of pace. The supporting characters while not amazing were all good to great. I like that the story was more mature and made you think. I was happy Ellie and Abby had a bitter sweet ending and were able to spare what little they had left. The people mad about the diversity and LGBTEtc in the game need to STFU.… Expand

    Do you like Ellie? Well she gets her life turned upside-down and you're supposed to like that. You get to play through slaughtering Ellie's friends. You are forced to kill a dog.
    I hope you like Abby, you know, the one who killed Joel and slaughtered Ellie's friends. After Ellie loses everything, she let's the **** go? I call bull****. Ellie lost her father figure, her friends, and her family (and the ability to play Joel's guitar) but we need to be happy Ellie is screwed over and Abby (Butch) gets to live out happy?

    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.
