I get it, the fans get it.. at some point Joel was gonna die. The problem is how he died, he was simply killed off for being killed off sake just to send Ellie on a wild revenge crusade. Which by the way was a colossal waste of time. Thumbs down NaughtyDog. … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've just completed the game. And the more I think about it, the more I think the story succeeded in it's main point. And the main point isn't the one some others are referring to, that violence begets violence or that revenge isn't healthy - plenty of other stories have already done that. It's main point, imho, is that there aren't any good guys or bad guys.
    I am hoping the combat is improved by some patches though.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a game that does a good job at improving the gameplay and visuals over its predecesor...but it's narrative brings it down to a poorly executed pretentious product...that underestimates the intelligence of its audience and is (seemingly) not aware of its own hipocrisssy. Just to give a perspective, the balance between narrative and gameplay in this game can be divided like this: 30% pure combat gameplay, 30% exploration and basic gameplay, and 40% narrative driven sequences. So, having that much narrative makes this game rely a bit too much in its story to move things forward. You feel like you wanna see what happens next, and in that sense the narrative sequences become kind of a reward for the player. Given this, is very hard to judge the game as a whole without the story. And it's a shame that the story in itself suffers from the pretentious intentios behind it. There are pacing issues, there are plotholes, there are badly hidden plot devices and stuff that may (an will) pull you out of the experience. It's hard to get into details without spoiling the game but let me say that you have 2 main protagonists, and the intention of the creators to give a message that is stronger than their skills to build a believable story around it. You have main characters treated like plot devices, you have circumstances that are way too fortuituos to be real, many forced situations just to serve the writers intentions behind them. In most cases it just doesn't work well enough to make it believable. There's a 2nd character that you'll be forced to use for half the game, and they try so hard to make her appealing that it also can put you off the experience. But the worst thing is the epilogue...a forced, hilariously long and convoluted epilogue that does more to lessen the overall ecperience than enrich it. The ending must be one of the pointless things I have ever played and watched in my life. It leaves you empty, and wondering what was the point of even doing this game. To me is not a bad game/experience, but is for sure not a good one. Is just a "meh". Maybe it's worst for those who loved the first one and it's characters. On a final note, just say that there are many subliminal and also on your face messages that will remind you of that so called "secret agenda" form Neil Druckman, and it also can pull you off the experience. From religious statements, to forcing certain type of characters, to making all white males die or be useless or dumb, and a long list that I felt does not add to this review. To me is an experience to have just if you get the game in a very good sale.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game visually is the best game I have ever played. The overall combat and gameplay is great for 7-10 hours then becomes a repetitive drag. Only 1 new type of enemy and it's not that big of a deal. The story is flawed 3 hours in and doesn't make up for it. It makes you hate Elly and tries to make you like Abby but doesn't until the end when you just want to be done with the game. The last 6-7 hours I lowered the difficulty out of boredom of the combat so I could finish the story which was not worth it. This game started off great to ok. Then fell apart and in the end I just didn't like it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually The Last of Us Part II is beautiful and the music is just amazing. Gameplay is similar to the first one, not bad, but not the best.The story however is a revenge plot that is extremely poorly executed. They completely ripped apart everything that the first game had built up and definitely did not do right by Joel and Ellie as they said they were going to. Joel gets killed very early in a very dumb way and Ellie loses everything. The new characters are not fleshed out enough and most are forgettable. You play as Abby for half the game and I found her very unlikeable even as they show her past to get you to sympathize with her. The ten hours of gameplay with her just seemed to drag on. I found the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie to be the best part of the game and I really enjoyed them, but unfortunately those were short and few.… Expand

    the game is very good in terms of graphics, atmosphere, gameplay, but the story is horrid and uninteresting, the character of abby is horible and cannot be empathized and the worst part is where they make you fight ellie, and the end It is disappointing and unsatisfactory as ellie lets abby out.

The other thing is, being a writer myself; I understand making a story of everything in between grief, love, and an unpredictable world that we live in.

The thing is I’d love this if it were presented as a complex indie film (MAYBE). But it’s a game that one would spend HUNDREDS of hours on to escape, learn, and have fun. Not hundreds of hours playing as people the users have no respect for, have hatred towards, with an ending that contradicts themes and choices. It’s a game that makes you think but maybe too hard with no payoff. It’s like life but I want entertainment. I’m just bored and angry. Which I already was during a pandemic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came into this game know full well the controversy following it, what with the leaks and all. I was always going to play this game regardless of reviews, cause normally I don't pay them much attention. Alas, here we are and I'm leaving a review.... oh how the mighty have fallen...ANYWAYS lets get into the game. coming off of what was maybe Naughty Dog's most successful endeavor (aside from uncharted I guess).

    I came into TLOU2 with high hopes that were deflated partially due to what I found out in the leaks however, I wasn't going to let that stop me from still experiencing it first hand. If I was going to be disappointed I wanted to be absolutely sure. As I played thru the first few hours I enjoyed the gameplay, the graphics, the beautiful scenery, hell I even enjoyed picking up the collectible cards that had super heroes on them. The accessibility options for the game are top notch. But this damn story!!?!? just all over the place. Ellie is demonized while were forced to try and empathize with Abby, who is no saint whatsoever by the way. actually her arc is already finished within the first few hours of the game! she gets exactly what she wants in a most convenient fashion. and just when you think you get to exact your revenge.... We are treated to 12+ more hours of why we should all respect this other character and demonize Ellie for......well for essentially killing a dog, in which we had no choice cause it was literally self defense, and well... there wasn't any other choice. skipping to the ending where as I played I felt like I had about 3 false endings... Ellie still cant cope and HAS to exact revenge...........but nahhhhhhhhh. just as you feel like, here it comes, here is the revenge literally EVERYONE is waiting for.......flop, she allows Abby to sail off into the mist while she gets to return to NOTHING! (and a few less fingers). and thats it. she cant even play her guitar anymore so she just leaves it and walks off to hell who knows after that butchered story most likely walk herself into a room full of clickers......Garbage Storytelling!

    and no... i'm not a close minded bigot of any sort. My problems don't have anything to do with the inclusion of LGBTQ characters. it's the **** job they did trying to justify half of the characters who were just as bad if not worse than Joel, Ellie, or Tommy. they spent so much time trying to make Abby likable and at no point does that ever resonate. i found myself wanting to know more of the seraphites and the prophet more than anyone else in the game. yet their abandoned and just labeled as crazy bigots.    … Expand

This game was heart pounding fun. Each battle was so intense and also fear. It was like playing Doom Eternal on nightmare but with a dash of resident evil horror to get your palms sweaty. Gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from playing the first one, just more options now and more refined. Animations are on point. Graphics are a masterclass and put shame to PC master race people. Story was awesome. Not sure what people are hating this for so much, but it seems to be "trendy" to do it. I just played the Last of Us part 1 just before this as well, this game does an amazing job of connecting the first game and second game. It creates a much bigger world of his crazy last of us.

    I will start off with the good aspects of The Last Of Us 2, the graphics look really nice overall.

    I will start off with the good aspects of The Last Of Us 2, the graphics look really nice overall. There are moments where a bit less detail was put into them (Like snow falling off trees) but as far as games go, the graphics are solid.
    The reason i have given this game such a low score is as follows: (Warning Spoilers ahead)

    I was devastated that Joel was killed off, i was not only upset in the badly scripted way in which he was killed but how early in the game it happened. It's like Joel's character was such a different person from the first game. Of course humans change, but they really REALLY changed his character. He went from someone who was cautious and savvy to someone who blindly follows into dangerous situations.

    As the game played out i was happy to see a gay person was being given some love on screen. Its nice to see my people in games, but the more i played, the more it became clear this wasn't Story first, sexuality second, it was full-blown IN YOUR FACE GAYNESS, the type i smell a mile away, the type that has an agenda behind it. I felt sick how badly this will set us back in the real world.

    I feel the game has a totally different team than the original classic game and i was correct. I feel the old team were booted out, in favour of a more inclusive team, (Not better.....not even as good, just inclusive) which in layman's terms means people given a job based on their pronouns rather than skills. It means that us gamers suffer in the long run as you find stories suffer for it, and 9 times out of 10 have an agenda behind it.

    Do they think they are helping us gay people? because they most certainly are not. Have they seen the backlash on here, twitter and youtube? This game has single-handedly set gay people back years and made thousands of people homophobic as it seems big companies are playing favourites to gay people over just being fair. How stupid can they be? This is not how you win people around on our struggle.
    The last of us 2 plays every card it can to upset anyone who isn't gay. I was so upset seeing gay people having sex in a way that just seemed bent on inflaming the gamers that paid so much money to play this political nonsense.

    I looked deeper tonight and found out that lead dev Neil Druckmann made the work environment hostile so that many of his team left. I feel this was a tactic to replace an excellent team with people he feels fit his politics. I went on to see Neil talking kindly about a well known far-left activist and anti-men YouTuber who has made it her goal to make sure games are diluted down, where everyone is gender-neutral and plain looking. Where men are feminine and women are always empowered, especially gay people and people of colour.

    I would not be so harsh on this if it wasn't for the fact that these far-left activists always infiltrate already establish games and force identity politics into them like a plague. They would not have the guts to make a game from scratch as no one would buy it, but with an established game the fans are guaranteed to purchase it by the millions no matter what.

    Shame on Neil Druckmann for treating the fans this way.
    Shame on Neil Druckmann for treating gay people are pawns in his agenda.
    Shame on Neil Druckmann for trying to silence people speaking out about his political game.

    and shame on everyone complicit in making this game, I am disgusted in you. You do not represent me as a gay person. You have an agenda and i want nothing to do with it.
    Your game is a total mess, the story is weak and has ruined, totally ruined such a beautiful first game. But of course none of you would understand that as you didn't make it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Для меня первая часть The Last of Us является эталоном сюжетных игр и того, как нужно прописывать персонажей и их взаимоотношения. Когда состоялся анонс сиквела я был просто без ума от радости, что снова спустя много лет увижусь с героями, которых я очень полюбил. И вот сегодня, спустя 7 лет ожиданий, я прошел эту игру. Как фанат первой части я остался разочарован. Разочарован тем, как они слили моего любимого персонажа (Джоэла). Разочарован любовной линией, которая тут вообще ни к месту и в которую ты не веришь. Разочарован подачей сюжета и ее темы, также как и второй половиной игры. Почему я вообще должен сопереживать убийце моего любимого персонажа ? Как на ней отразились последствия мести ? Ей было абсолютно похер. Элли, убивая одного за другим друзей Эбби постепенно сходила с ума. Эбби же наоборот узнав, что Дина беременна с еще большим удовольствием захотела перерезать ей глотку. Если бы ее не остановили, она бы так и поступила. Характеры персонажей тоже очень быстро меняются, будто у них биполярка. Финал мне не понравился, и не потому, что Элли пощадила Эбби, а потому как это нелогично и топорно подано. Но у игры есть безусловно плюсы: это техническая составляющая. Игра очень красивая, геймплей стал более живым, мир кажется очень большим и разнообразным, постановка многих сцен просто великолепная. Ну а самое светлое, что есть в игре - это воспоминания Элли с Джоэлем. Какие же эти моменты ламповые и одновременно грустные, так и навевают первой частью. Подведя итоги скажу, что в конце я расплакался. Расплакался не потому, что прошел одну из самой ожидаемой мною игры, а потому, что эти ожидания не оправдались. Мне очень жаль, что Джоэл умер за ЭТО. Покойся с миром, Джоэл Миллер, персонаж, который за 7 лет моей жизни стал для меня, как родной.… Expand

Whether it's Ellie's indignant attitude and lanky, 15-year-old-boy body or Abby killing the main character of the first game and her comically large arms. Every design choice here was made seemingly to show complete contempt for the player base. It's hard to imagine what Neil Druckmann's intent here was. Why would you kill such a beloved character in such an unceremonious way without any kind of final catharsis?

    And what is up the sex scene? Was Abby born male or not? Why does it look like they are having anal sex? Did Neil make this entire as inside joke and was hoping to ride on controversy? I guess it worked to some extent.

    It's a shame that the game is so repugnant because it seems like the game engine and graphics are very solid, albeit made on system that was outdated even at the time of it's release. I think this game would truly shine on PC or PS5 so that the framerate can really bring out the animations in this game (which are admittedly pretty impressive).

    But as a game that is sold on its story, it's just too awful and offensive to pay the price of admission and the contempt which it shows for its players is enough to warrant it a 3.    … Expand

The story is hard to get behind, even after Joel’s death I still gave it a chance, and the game was fine and story was tolerable till Abbys playthrough and the ending of the game. I never felt sympathy or ever cared for her character. The story even with Joel’s death could’ve been fine, but it just wasn’t and leaves with nothing. Very disappointing.… Expand

La saga de TLOU sigue siendo un exclusivo necesario a jugar si se tiene una consola de sony, y fácilmente este juego podría considerarse GOTY como en su tiempo lo fue RDR2, es una historia completamente inmersiva, y aunque hayan cosas que simplemente puedas considerar innecesarias o incluyentes y vacías, eso no cambia como todo lo que vives y vivirás con el juego pueda ser considerado como tu propia travesía.… Expand

    Spoiler Free section: Regardless of this game not being what fans wanted, It's unfair to call is a bad game. It's a strong story with complex characters and despite how depressing the game is, it doesn't make it a bad game. Naughty Dog    This for me was an 8/10 (+2 because i hate to see the ratings so low) If you disagree with me I understand but at least hear what I have to say

    Spoiler Free section:

    Regardless of this game not being what fans wanted, It's unfair to call is a bad game. It's a strong story with complex characters and despite how depressing the game is, it doesn't make it a bad game. Naughty Dog focused on making a great game, not a good game. Great and good are not interchangeable. Bad people like Hitler and Stalin can be considered Great, but in no way are they good, in fact they are terrible. That's how this game hits, as a game that is very selective in who likes it, but overall is a great game in general.

    Spoilers:

    One of the biggest problems with this games ending is that people can't really understand it well, which is understandable but before writing a negative review because your favorite character died and you didn't like the ending, maybe try to dissect it, ask why, and look for hope in the end because there definitely is some that many people missed.

    Starting from the beginning, Joel sings to Ellie with an emphasis on the phrase, "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself. Unfortunately this happens to Ellie and this whole story is about how she loses herself to try to avenge Joel's death. There is a scene right after Ellie tortured Nora when she is crying partly because of what she has done but then she tells Dina, "I don't want to lose you." This is the moment that Ellie realizes that losing Dina is a real possibility if her revenge continues.

    Moving forward to the end of the game, Ellie tracts down Abby and has her drowning underwater. Instead of ending her life, she pictures Joel playing the guitar and stops (Important for later). At this point we don't know why she lets Abby live and we get even more angry at the game. Then they show that Dina and her baby left Ellie and that Ellie really did lose everything in fact, she can't even play the guitar anymore.

    Finally, we know that Ellie let Abby go, not for Abby and Levi sake, but for the sake of herself. If she really went through and ended Abby's life she realizes it would no make a difference, but more importantly, Ellie would 'surely lose herself'. Showing the scene where Ellie wants to forgive Joel is moment when Ellie spared Abby and this is because Ellie wanted didn't want to give in the the violence and completely become what Joel had become, what she couldn't forgive because then how could she expect Dina to understand. This is Ellie last grasp on her once sassy sarcastic 14 year old self and she is able to stop herself. the game ends with Ellie leaving the farm and (probably) going to look for Dina and JJ now that she has a small piece of herself to give, she hopes that Dina might someday forgive her like she decided to to with Joel.    … Expand

    El problema esta en la forma, hay maneras mas heroicas para ponerle fin a la historia de un Texas Ranger como lo es Joel, solo lo humillaron y torturaron.. hicieron nada de su mejor personaje.
    Este juego es quizá el mejor en jugabilidad detalles, la cuerda que es una obra maestra, como se oculta Ellie es una maravilla. Ni que decir de los enfrentamientos, son lo mejor que he visto. El como suplican los personajes es un detalle increible. Es una pena que todo ese trabajo se venga abajo por tratar mal a uno de sus mejores personajes. Al final, el juego cumple su proposito, te hace sentir rabia, colera, ganas de romper tu televisor, pero vamos, si querian hacer una obra de arte debieron tratar mas a los personajes, a todos nosotros que amamos el primer juego nos dispararon un escopetazo en la rodilla y luego nos torturaron con un palo de golf. Sensaciones horribles, esta bien el juego trasmite mucho, pero si te va a trasmitir rabia por matar algo que querias, prefiero jugar la 1 mil veces antes que esta cagada. Perfecta jugabilidad y detalles echados a la basura, que ganas de querer experimentar con todo lo hecho, finalmente echaron todo a la basura.
    Ahora no nos va a gustar, pero con el tiempo habra mas gente que la quiera, este es un mensaje un poco mas empatico para los productores, TLOU2 envejecerá mejor que la 1, este juego al pasar de los años ganara aceptacion, pero no esperen amor a este juego, porque para procesar la decisión que tomaron con la historia va a requerir tiempo.    … Expand

    Graphics, game play, crafting all great. Those aspects earn it, its 6/10. Although I can’t imagine the gameplay being too rewarding for multiple play throughs.

    The trailers were very misleading as to what the experience would be. You could have made it clear who you would be playing as without giving the story away. It would have been an avoid, had this been known. The structure of    Graphics, game play, crafting all great. Those aspects earn it, its 6/10.

    The trailers were very misleading as to what the experience would be. You could have made it clear who you would be playing as without giving the story away. It would have been an avoid, had this been known.

    The structure of the story is very jarring, there are large sections that are just filler. The main couple in the game have disappointing chemistry, compared to Ellie’s interactions with other named characters, her gf is very wooden. SJW theme is pushed a little hard at the beginning but this becomes a non issue after an hour, it is a shame they felt the need themselves to make a big deal of Ellie being gay rather than just treating it as a matter of fact straight away.

    Playing as the other 2nd main character is just trash. This is a game, it’s meant to be fun. No one wanted this. The first big death in the game, was okay with me but I understand due to the advertising and people’s deep investment why they were angry.

    My main issue is with the writing. It’s very obvious that there was a message they were trying to convey. But the themes they present are not exactly ground breaking, humans capable of evil, we are all the villain in someone else’s story, revenge bad. This is a game for adults, this is not groundbreaking stuff. If you are going to prop a whole game up on these themes. Deliver it well, concisely and nail The characters and arcs.

    Weirdly the arc on the hellish 2nd character is a hell of a lot better than Ellie, but the character is just essentially a ****. Combined with the wrongs done earlier, I’d be surprised if 1/10 people managed to connect with this character. It was awful and demotivating.

    Ellie’s arc is just a total mess. Key decision at the end made zero sense and really made no sense at that specific moment. No one would have had that revelation at that point.

    I could go on, but ultimately the story feels like a story not worth telling. The characters are inconsistent, there are parts where it’s just like, this is not how human beings work. All of this could have been forgiven, but they clearly made the narrative the main crux and message of the game and that falls very, very flat.

    You can have a layered, you can have bleak, you can have a message. But don’t **** it up and sit there like a child and tell people it’s what you take out of it, like this is some kind of high art and not a story that would have gotten you laughed out of any book or film publisher In the world.    … Expand

    Leaving aside the technical section, the story is too forced, all in order to make the characters more complex, which in reality only makes them look superficial and artificial, much of the realism that was the best of the first game has been lost.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Depressingly fantastic tale about deeply flawed people in a flawed world. Performances and the script keeps you engaged in this crueling revenge story.

    In the end you're left wondering about revenge and justice. Where lies the line to just stop and head back. Where lies the line when your personal vendetta is costing too much. Still it is not perfect game. (I chose 10 because that is closer to my final rating than 9 ever will be) Although the game is great in a lot of ways, I think it suffers a little bit in its length. Sudden character change, in the midway point of the game, felt quite awkward at first but the context it gives to the story, made it so worth it. (I personally think Abby is a wonderfully written and executed character) In summary: The Last of Us Part 2 is technically almost flawless game with a gripping story filled with great performances. Although suffering in its length the experience and conclusion leaves you with a smile and a tear in the eye. Rating 95/100    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a total mess compared to the masterpiece that was the first game. The 4 million people who bought this game did so because of the first game's story. I could just play another zombie game if I wanted only that, people expected fun combat along with a story that can live up to the original. What we get is a serious disrespect to the main character from the original game, Joel Miller. They make him act very out of character by telling the wolves his identity and walking into a suspicious ass building without a second thought. Remember when Joel saw a hunter on the road pretending to be injured and knew exactly what the hunters were trying to do? That guy is gone. From a hardened survivor and a badass who was very smart and cautious to the type of guy that tells complete strangers his social security number(not that they have social security anymore in the apocalypse but you get the point). Before I played the game I will admit that I knew Joel was going to die, and I wasn't surprised. I wasn't angry at that point because I thought he would go out in a better fashion(pretty much any other way would have been better). When Abby starts beating on him with a golf club I was sad but not angry, at that point I accepted that he was going to die. When they made Ellie watch it happen that is what set me off and I had to set the game down for a few days before I was willing to play more. Not to mention that Neil Druckmann(Manny) himself spit on Joel, it felt like him metaphorically spitting on the legacy of the first game. If you want to know how to actually kill a main character right, just look at Lee from The Walking Dead. I wasn't angry at all, but actually heartbroken and I burst into tears when Lee dies. It's a very emotional moment and a great way to kill off the main character the right way. He spent the last hours of his life saving Clementine, he cared not about himself but only about her at that point. It was a very heroic main character death and amazing storytelling. Now I want you to imagine if Clementine was forced to watch Lee's head get bashed in by a golf club. Do you think fans would react differently? Don't you think that is a much worse way to kill off the main character? Then explain to me why it's any different for The Last of Us Part II, which was based off another zombie game where a grown man with a past of violence traveled across America protecting a little girl he treats like his daughter.

    I didn't write a review until I finished the game and the game didn't get any better. The story was stale almost the entire time except for the Joel flashbacks. If we just had a DLC that showed Ellie and Joel years after the first game living in Wyoming, that would have been enough for me.

    Now I want to talk about She-Hulk. Wait sorry, Abby. This game makes a terrible effort to make you empathize with her. She saved a seraphite and had sex on a boat, does that mean it's okay to bash someone's "father's" head in and make them watch it happen? Remember how the first game starts off with Sarah's heartbreaking death scene and makes you empathize with Joel? He isn't a good guy, but not evil either. He's just a survivor like everyone else. When he saved Ellie and it looked identical to him carrying Sarah at the beginning of the game you empathized with Joel because he can't lose another "daughter". That is good storytelling. He didn't kill Abby's father in front of her brutally. He was just trying to save Ellie. I think that if she just killed Joel that would be completely justified, instead she traumatizes Ellie when Ellie has no family and treated him like her dad. They made us empathize with Joel despite the people he killed and his selfishness in saving Ellie. On the other hand they made a piss-poor effort to make you empathize with Abby. It could have been a lot better if we saw flashbacks of Abby and her father. I may have felt bad for Abby then. Instead we learn about her boyfriend and watch her have sex on a boat. No cutscenes with her father, nothing. When we see her save a seraphite it doesn't make me empathize with her whatsoever. Yara and Lev saved Abby and she helped them, she helped former cultists because they saved her life. One person who also saved her life was Joel. He personally kills the runner who was attacking Abby and both Joel and Tommy help her. After he did that she didn't empathize with him at all. She didn't bother questioning why Joel killed her dad and talking to him. Yet she empathizes with cultists who saved her? What really irks me is that she made Ellie watch it happen. Abby didn't have to watch her dad die unlike Ellie. This is blatantly bad writing and storytelling, and I don't understand how this could be worthy of a 10/10.

    The combat is mostly the same as the original but it felt extra brutal and realistic(although I don't appreciate a game forcing me to kill dogs). The graphics are beautiful, but none of that can redeem this game.    … Expand

    Before attempting to review this game, I'd like to say that The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time.  I have various collector’s editions, copies of the game for both consoles, and posters on my wall.  I admit my bias from the outset.  I also admit to never wanting a sequel because I was afraid that nothing would live up to the original.

    Graphics:  10/10
    I’m not sure anyone can objectively state that the graphics are anything short of spectacular - easily one of the best-looking games of this generation.  On my PS4 Pro, the game ran at a smooth 30FPS @ 4k resolution; however, I recall two moments during my first play-through where I noticed a slight frame-rate slowdown.  Neither of these were during action sequences and were only slightly noticeable, so the game gets a pass from me on this.  

    If the environment isn’t enough to justify the score, then consider the motion capture and facial animations.  You can feel the emotions of every character - something this game demands as part of the story.  I’ve completed two full play-throughs and replayed various chapters.  Last night, I loaded up The Last of Us Remastered for comparison.  The improvements are remarkable (I should note it that TLoU was a PS3 game originally).

    Sound:  10/10
    Again, I’m not sure how anyone can consider the sound and music as anything short of phenomenal.  Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker return as Ellie and Joel.  As expected, they have unforgettable performances.  In additional to their vocal performances, each were called upon to sing multiple songs in character and adding new depth to their characters.  Does Laura Bailey (Abby) ever give poor performances?  If she does, it wasn’t in this game.  Victoria Grace (Yara) and Ian Alexander (Lev) are fantastic additions to the cast.

    Gustavo Santaolalla returns to the series with another wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack.  Bottom line - if you like the music in the first game, then you should love it in this one.

    Story & Replayability:  10/10
    The Last of Us Part II is like nothing that I have ever played.  It is highly emotional and thought provoking journey.  I’m a middle-aged man, and I have no problems telling you I cried like a baby multiple times during this game.

    This game isn’t for everyone.  If you are looking for pure fun, which many argue is the point of video games, this may not be a title for you.  If you aren’t willing to reflect on the journey once it is over, this may not be the game for you.  If empathy or putting yourself in someone else’s shoes is not your thing, this may not be the game for you.  If you knew what you wanted out of Part II before its release, it may disappoint you.  If you come in expecting more of the same, you may not like this game.  The writers and developers told the story they wanted to tell - whether or not that is what you wanted.  I appreciate their fortitude.

    In terms of replayability, I find this to be even more subjective than the story.  There is no doubt in my mind that some people will enjoy this game, but never want to play it again because the story is so emotionally intense.  Others, like me, will play this game repeatedly.  For me, the game would be worth the $60 price tag even if I only played it once.

    Summary
    Let me get straight to the point - I have a new favorite game of all time, and it is The Last of Us Part II.  Frankly, don’t care if it is a popular opinion or not.  Art is subjective.  If you elect to play the game, just be sure to finish it before casting your final judgement.    … Expand

The story is certainly a sad and dark tale, but I loved how it made me question themes like revenge and whether or not it was really all worth it for the characters I was so invested in coming out of the first game.

    I feel like a game is the perfect way to tell a story like this by letting me play as characters from both sides of the story. The setup makes it feel like a traditional tale of revenge with a clear hero and villain, but very quickly makes you question who's really the hero, or if anyone's really the "good guy" at the end of the day.

    Ultimately I ended up rooting for all the characters to somehow figure out a way to win, and I think it's really amazing that the story was able to pull that off.

    The gameplay felt solid; aiming/shooting mechanics seemed improved a bit from the first game, although the looting system (largely the same as the first game) detracted from the story a bit. There were times when the story was conveying a sense of urgency that I needed to be somewhere, but I couldn't help searching every corner of an abandoned building looking for items I might need. I think it resulted in a balanced and fun combat system where I had to think about what weapons I might use in a certain encounter based on what I had, but a part of me wishes I could've focused on the story instead. There's a New Game +, and I'm considering playing through again with all my gear, but on a lower difficulty so I can experience the story without having to worry about looting as much.    … Expand

I didn't follow the game's development because I was afraid the game would be trash. I say this because I went into the game with a low expectation.

    This game is a masterpiece. I have no clue how anyone can rate this game lower than an 8. It is an emotional roller-coaster. My body felt disgusted after playing parts of this game. I cried in parts of this game. I played a few times till 1 in the morning and was scared diving into the darkness of infected. I could not believe how masterfully crafted every piece of this game was, and how it surpassed my absolute love for the first one.

    I'm glad that they misguided fans in the trailers. I went in thinking that Dina was going to die, because that was implied in the trailer. I was glad to have been tricked because it made certain scenes even more powerful. I was glad to play from other character's perspectives. I allowed the game to do what Naughty Dog intended.

    I can go on and on about the technical aspects that are miles above other titles. But what sets a game like TLOU2 away from other titles is the story. There are no load screens. There are no side missions. It was a straight 35 hour campaign for me. I had no clue where the game was taking me the entire time. There were parts where I said, "I know what's going to happen next," but the game went a completely different direction.

    I am mostly sad for the game community. I have been following Metacritic for years now and never had an account. I made an account specifically to write this review. I am sad that fans could not play this game with an open mind. I'm sad to see fans refuse to experience one of the most beautifully crafted stories of all time, because they "think" they know Joel better than the creators. Joel was not a nice person. I love him, but he is the villain. He destroyed mankind by selfishly saving Ellie in the first game. He murdered many people, even going way before the first game even started. Don't tell me that Joel deserves to be on this pedestal. This is exactly what the game teaches the player; you are not always right and need to look at situations from another's perspective.

    My opinion is small, but it is my opinion. TLOU2 is the best game of all time. I never thought I would be saying that but this game impacted me so deeply that I can't stop thinking about it, days after completing the campaign.    … Expand
