    Its bad enough that the devs hoodwinked the fans with the trailers but giving us a hopeless story with a very unsatisfying ending is a slap in the face.
    The gameplay is solid, the graphics is great but the story is awful and the ending reinforced it instead of correcting it.

    The game encourages players to explore the beautiful but dangerous world by rewarding the players with more character dialogue (getting to know the characters more), supplies and ammo for an in game edge on all the dangerous survivors and infected in the world.
    The games story did an excellent job in bringing out my emotions such as: hate, anger, sadness and shock. "The Last of us part 2" is not a story where everything turns out fine in the end,and you feel happy finishing it. It rather leaves us contemplating the moral decisions we play throughout the game, and if our actions were truly justified.
    One of my highlights of the game was how it made me think. There were a lot of moments in the game, where i found myself speechless and made me question my own morals, and how it would reflect if i was in that world. It emphasizes on the fact that there are no "good vs bad" in life, we're all just people trying to survive, but we are also "people" who make questionable decisions and moral choices, and the characters in "The Last of us part 2" are no different from that.
    Game play wise, i feel that the gun play is the most unique out of any of "Naughty Dog" game, on how the Guns feel, look and sound realistic. The Guns feel heavy and damaged, contrasting itself to the games characters Themselves. The Stealth feels like the original "Last of us",but with more variety on how i would play with the NPC's, but at the same time more tense. Often found myself contemplating if i should use my supplies i recently found to make a med kit, or to rather make a Molotov. The decisions you make will accompany your play style.
    I personally loved the "skill points" in this game, even though it's similar to the original "last of us", the skills are more grounded and avoided what i feel like most games do. Often times with skill points, i feel like you'd buy a skill just to get to another one, and never use the original one you bought. I found myself finding every skill worth using in my first play through.
    My only negative in the game is the enemy Variety, throughout my play through, i found myself bored with the enemies. There's only a handful of different human enemies, and they all can virtually be taken out the same way you would a basic enemy with a pistol. The infected, i felt were unfortunately the most boring. Most level designs were runners and clickers, occupying the same space, with the occasional Shambler to make it more tense, and often times left me hoping for more enemy variety which the game lacks on.

    "The Last of us Part 2" was an emotional journey, with some of the best game play and story telling i have seen from"Naughty Dog", but unfortunately lacks in enemy variety. it's an amazing game worthy of it's predecessor, and a game that's meant to open conversations about moral choices in life. already looking forward to my next play through.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rarely do reviews, but for this game I had to write one. For gamers who are looking forward to play this game based on the reviews, I would suggest not to do so otherwise you would be missing out one of the finest games ever.

    One observation that I had is how the game's user score kept improving consistently. About a week or so before writing this, the user score was 3.7 and now after 10 days it has improved already to 4.8. This gives an indication how premature those initial negative reviews were. A lot of those reviews might have been made with out even playing/watching the full game. Here's a detailed review for different sections below.

    Graphics and visuals: 10/10. Simply can't expect any better than this in current console. Few of the areas looked amazing such as haven, the village, the jungle, the bridge e.t.c.

    Gameplay: 8/10. The gameplay is amazing. The stealth aspect is also wonderful. Still I am giving it an 8 because of one reason. That is how the game forces you to play as different characters in the moments of a conflict. For example in the initial fight between Ellie and Abby you are forced to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie. Since by that time Ellie is already such a favorite character, you might not enjoy those few moments.

    Level designs: 10/10. To me it has even surpassed the first part. There are many new kinds of infected such as stalker, shamblers, weird new bosses. All that added to the excitement and intensity of these fights.

    Story: 8/10. No matter how disappointed you might be after the death of Joel, there is a very good chance you would still like the story for how it is if you go with an open mind about it. Of course, to some people killing Joel in such a way so early in the game would mean end of the game. But to me the story that they put was still good and interesting. I also enjoyed how they organized the whole story telling by switching between characters. One weak point I felt about the story is how easily Abby kills her wolf-mates when she's fighting against them with Levy. Same goes for Yara as well. But of course, desperate times. Despite these the story is still amazing'    … Expand

Naughty Dog certainly chose to not play it safe and have delivered something that is challenging and in many places profound, although this seems to have been lost on many of the other "reviewers" on this website that have given it a 0 out of 10. Hopefully it should be clear to anyone thinking of buying/playing the game that a 0/10 is not a score that is given by somebody that is thinking critically about their experience but is rather showing that they have an axe to grind (the repeated use of the terms "SJW" and "politically correct" should inform you of the level of intelligence some of these people exibit). After playing the game you will probably find that a great deal of the criticisms levelled at the game's story can be disregarded with a some careful thought and attention payed to the subtle clues that are dropped throughout the 25 to 30 hour experience.

    So anyway, with that out out of the way, what do I think about the rest of the game? The graphics are superb. There are multiple environment types and locations, and even though much of the game is set within a ruined overgrown cityscape I felt that the visuals were rarely repetitive. This is a game that is truely stunning to look at.

    The combat is (by today's standards) quite basic, but that isn't necessarily a criticism. I found that there were parts that felt unnecessary clunky (the fist-fight "boss" scenes in particular) and were a bit of a chore to get through. On the whole though, the gameplay was fun but occasionally repetitive.

    As a hobbyist game programmer myself, I am absolutely astounded at the artistic and technical acomplishment that the individuals working at Naughty Dog have achieved here. I doubt that many of the reviewers giving 0/10 scores (yes I'm still salty about that) have any notion of how much talent and work goes into making a body of work such as this. The game is receiving high praise from game critics though, and I suspect that if we could filter out all of the 0% "review-bombs" from the user score we would find a rating more in line with what the critic's have given.

    The only truely negative thing that I will say about this game is that I was disappointed to hear about the levels of stress / "crunch" that the employees of Naughty Dog had to undergo during the making of TLOU2. I'm sure that most of us will agree that this kind of thing leaves an unpleasant mark on what has otherwise been one of the top gaming experiences of the year, and I hope that the "AAA" industry as a whole finds a way to create content like this without causing their workers to seemingly age 50 years in the process.

    Anyway, enough of this. I'm about to play the whole damned thing again in New Game plus, and I can't wait.    … Expand

    If I could provide an exact rating, then I would say this game is a 9.7/10. The main issues with the game are that the AI can be slightly messy at times and the gameplay does feel slightly repetitive. Sometimes I was still looting supplies in my sleep. However, the first game also had this same issue so anyone who hates on this game and not the first needs to rethink their life.

However, the first game also had this same issue so anyone who hates on this game and not the first needs to rethink their life. I have read some of hate reviews of this game and they have no substance. This game achieves a level of empathy and a conflict of our emotions towards characters which has never been done before. This game is groundbreaking in storytelling and should be seen as the catalyst to this. The gameplay is excellent and truly exhilarating which will keep you playing for hours without ever wanting to stop. This game will be seen as a classic once enough people have actually finished the game, unlike these haters posting 0/10 after the first 5 mins that the game came out. Play the game for yourself and I hope you’ll understand the story that is being told. You don’t have to accept the decisions that are pragtonists made but just appreciate and empathise for the reasons of why they did.… Expand

As a player, you were spending several time with Joel and Ellie to create a bound and you can't simple cut that bound as something simple. If you were thinking on generate a bound with that antagonist character, I visualize multiple ways to do it, but the way you make the game narrative, merely didn’t work. I feel the 2nd part of the game like an excuse to make you feel in tuning with the antagonist, all looks so much forced. I feel it long, stressful and with out any sense, also to force you to fight against Ellie and Tommy is something that is painful for the player. The game playing, controls and drawings are awesome, but all those incredible features get opacity by the bad narrative and 2nd forced path. The 3rd part is the worst, has 0 sense, you are not going to sacrifice everything, to get nothing. I don’t disagree with Joel death, that could be happened, but you make a disaster with a story, with a big potential game.

A very narrow and particular narrative being displayed, targeting a specific group of people (males) as toxic and troublemakers while the other group (females) being the holier-than-thou problem solvers. Good luck trying to sell that **** to the gamers, majority of whom are males and don’t appreciate such stupidity in games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pesar de todo lo que se había comentado decidí jugarlo y establecer una opinión personal del juego. No es malo como todo mundo lo quiere hacer ver, el hecho de que la muerte de Joel se de en un momento tan temprano es lo que desencadena toda la trama del juego y para mí su muerte es algo que podría pasarle tarde o temprano pues cuantas personas no mató durante su camino en TLOU1.
    De ahí en adelante el juego es cierto que por parte se vuelve demasiado tedioso siguiendo un largo ciclo: Matar-avanzar un poco-matar- avanzar un poco. Creo que se pudieron ahorrar varias horas de juego si esto no pasara.
    Mucha gente igual se queja de que te "obliguen" a jugar con Abby y yo siento que es parte fundamental para comprender el porque de su odio a Joel, incluso creo que la historia de Abby se vuelve más interesante en ciertos momentos que la de Ellie haciéndote reflexionar con ella, no le llamemos empatizar porque todos la odiamos y la seguiremos odiando por lo que le hizo a Joel pero al menos el juego te intenta dar la perspectiva desde su punto de vista.
    Llego al final de mi review con el final del juego, la verdad pensé que después de aparecer en una nueva casa, con JJ y Dina en ella se terminaba todo pero de repente llega Tommy con nueva información del paradero de Abby y nos volvemos a embarcar con Ellie a la ciudad de Santa Bárbara. En esta parte encontramos a Abby y Lev en un estado deplorable y aquí comienza la pelea final donde ambas con más impetu que fuerza se intentan matar, cuando parecía que Ellie ahogaría a Abby le llega el recuerdo de Joel y decide soltarla, dejándola escapar en una lancha junto a Lev. En esta parte me hubiera gustado que después de tanto viaje que hizo Ellie, matara mínimo a Abby pero igual puedo comprender hasta cierto punto el porque de su decisión de no hacerlo. El hecho de matarla ya no remediaría todo lo que pasó a lo largo del viaje, Ellie dejaría a su suerte a Lev, tal como Abby la dejó a ella al momento que mató a Joel.
    Finalmente, en el epílogo Ellie regresa a su casa para darse cuenta que Dina ya no está y no hay nada en la casa más que sus pertenencias, incluida su guitarra la cuál intenta tocar pero al haber perdido dos dedos que le fueron arrancados de parte de Abby ya no suena igual, es ahí donde se da cuenta que lo ha perdido todo, incluso el único vínculo que tenía con Joel.

Including this game. This game will not only live in its predecessors shadow forever but it will always be remembered, by me at least, as a hideous black mark left upon the face of what could have easily been one of the greatest video game franchises of all time. Being such a die hard fan when the leaks happened I naturally championed and defended the game as much as I possibly could for a month or so before it came out and unfortunately I’ll be eating all those words and then some. This game isn’t “woke” trash like it was made out to be. What this game actually is, from the story perspective, is a completely convoluted, contrived, ass backwards mess. This game was simply put together wrong. We are constantly asked to disband our belief through out the entire game for the sake of a story that is sub par at best. We are introduced to new characters through out the entire game and are asked to care about them just to have them die at an instant just so we have a route to the next section of this misguided mess of a game. The characters that return from the first game all act COMPLETELY out of character throughout the entirety of the game and on top of that the writing of these once beloved characters are treated with such tasteless disregard that by the end of the game I could not stand Ellie. The characters we got in the first are not what you get in the second. For what reason? Because revenge is bad? So in order to get that message across to us you have to completely rewrite established characters in to senseless, soulless, mindless killing machines? And then there’s Abby. I actually liked Abby unlike most people. The problem I have with her is more of the garbage pacing this game has to do with her rather than her herself. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this was put together completely backwards. I give Naughty Dog credit for trying to do something different but I also shame them for falling on their face and doing a complete disservice to the franchise and the fans. Yes, this is the best looking video game I have ever seen and I feel sorry for all of the extremely talented people who spent years putting this together (outside of the writers) and yes, there was parts of the story I did enjoy and the game play is good too. But you can only ask so much from your fans while you spit on them and the characters they love for 25 hours.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just so you know, I'm not review bombing. I will not get into the identity politics aspects of the game. I will just address the story. I play the first The Last of Us a couple of years after it came out. After hearing how good it was I purchased the remastered version for the PS4 play it and absolutely fell in love with Joel and Ellie. I felt heartbroken when I saw sam turn, for then Henry to take his life after killing his younger brother. I put myself in his shoes. I probably wouldn't have been able to pull the trigger. That moment stuck with me for a very long time. Just like the death of Sarah, the ranch scene, the time Ellie saves joel and Joel's learns to trust her. Those are the reason I loved The Last of Us. Because of the emotional character build up that the game allowed me to experience. Then came the announcement of this game. I was so excited about this game I wanted it the day I heard about it. Then I heard about the leaks. Given I went out of my way to play this game spoiler free, by staying away from comment sections, staying away from Twitter, Instagram, any youtube content that contained spoilers. I wanted to experience this game with no input from other people, and I succeeded. I managed to stay away from all spoilers, and experience it for myself. Played through it saw how Joel has his guard down and falls into a trap by literally putting him self in the middle of the room with compleatly unknown strangers. This is the man who ran over another because he felt like there was an ambush planed, and he lets that happen to him? Come on Naughty Dog you know better. You made the first game why is the original have such good writing and for the send off of a beloved character, you did this so lazily. Then you expect me to care about the person who killed him? No that's not how this works. Then Ellie goes off on a murderous rampage killing everyone in her way just to let her live? Ellie has lost everything and she gets to have a happy ending? I thought you loved these characters. I'm so disappointed with the story hat I don't know if I ever want to support any future endeavors. And yes I know I'm just one person but, i was a dedicated fan of this game and yeah I'm not owed anything, I have no entitlement to anything. And neither do you. I hope it was worth it to you guys to ruin such great characters for who knows what.… Expand

    My Honest Review after being more or less off the Internet to avoid Last of Us Part 2 spoilers.

    Writing a sequel to the Last of Us was always going to be a tough one.

And on the other hand I could not imagine a repetition of the first game´s story and themes    My Honest Review after being more or less off the Internet to avoid Last of Us Part 2 spoilers.

    Writing a sequel to the Last of Us was always going to be a tough one. On the one hand I was never able to imagine a story that did not have Ellie and Joel as we know and love them front and Center. And on the other hand I could not imagine a repetition of the first game´s story and themes that did not fall flat in comparison to the first.
    The Story Naughty Dog did end up telling in Part 2 however is unlike any I have ever seen or experienced in this way before in any medium. It does not care about what you might want from the story but instead forces you on an emotional roller-coaster full of trauma, despair and hatred but also cracks of light, laughter and love that shine through a damaged world full of damaged people.
    It is by far the most morally grey video-game I have ever played, forcing you to reflect and empathise even when you don´t want to or at first feel unable to.

    It is at times suppose to be an uncomfortable experience and while there are many reasons for the insanely negative reviews this game is getting from Users (even hours after the Game released) I believe it is this uncomfortable reflection the game demands of you which is not easy or fun for everyone. It´s not what they wanted and therefore they don´t give it a chance.
    But if you do let go of the story that you might have had in your head for years and give it a fair shot, you will find that this game will move you and make you think in ways you might not have expected.

    As someone who loved the first game and somehow managed to stay spoiler free I think The Last of Us Part 2 is a Masterpiece.

    - Gameplay loop (scrounge for supplies, craft/upgrade, stealth, combat, repeat) is deep and satisfying
    - Control and animation are perfect. Responsive, believable, fluid
    - Combat and stealth approach MGS3 levels of openness.
    - Crafting, weapon, and character upgrades constantly create tough decisions (on Hard difficulty)
    - Lengthy campaign with no filler
    - Transitions in and out of gameplay are beyond seamless. Past Naughty Dog games have excelled at this, but LoU Part II blows even them out of the water. This feels like a landmark for interactive content for the game direction alone.
    - Environments are varied and memorable, though some interiors begin to look familiar (lots of pipes and industrial rooms)
    - Set pieces are thrilling, particularly due to the direction

    Story
    - Hinging the story around Joel’s decision at the end of Part I adds weight to everything in both games
    - In parts it truly feels like a continuation of the first game, not just a sequel
    - Flashbacks of Joel and Ellie’s relationship, particularly the birthday museum visit, are a highlight of the whole series.
    - Most new characters (Dina, Jesse, and Owen in particular) are likable and believable

They killed off a huge factor in the first game's success withing the first two hours, and the rest was just nonexistent throughout the game. The new characters introduced went through little to no development throughout the course of the game and they were overall non-memorable and boring.

    Don't make a game about vengeance and violence if you're going to skip the part trauma part. In interviews that surfaced after the release of the game Neil mentioned removing some scenes that explored Ellie's PTSD because "it didn't fit into the flow of the game" and that's honestly idiotic. The game has 28h+, it's split in two halves and it has lots of flashbacks. There was enough time to do character development right. If you think showing trauma ruins the rhythm of your game then you shouldn't tell these kinds of stories @Neil.

    Not exploring Ellie's trauma and doubts better made this a very tone deaf game. So she's fine murdering dozens of people who have nothing to do with her quest for revenge and only struggles with the ones that do? This should've been explored way better. There were some entries in her journal that somewhat tapped into that, but not near enough. This is honestly something that should've been "show not tell".

    Anyways, even with all those problems it's still fun to play and that's honestly what I look for in games. I've played and enjoyed games that have worse stories.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS*
    What I say in this review will be nothing much different than other creators and honest reviewers have stated. This game pissed me off, but i also thoroughly enjoyed playing it at the same time. The graphics are stunning, easily one of the best looking games from the ps4 with only a title like red dead 2 coming close. The game play, though nearly identical to the first game, was enjoyable for me. I loved the first game so much not only for it's incredible story and character development but I enjoyed the game play as well. It's simple, but fun. Repetitive, but never really got boring for me, I loved it. So the visuals and the game play were incredibly enjoyable for me. What ruined the game for me, and so many other people, was the abysmal storytelling. The premise of the story is not what i'm solely mad at either. It's the way and sequence they told the story that was laughable.
    Killing Joel is something i feel could certainly be done, i almost expected it. But to do it so early, with no build up or setting of the story line, WHY? Playing as Abby as a unknown character didn't anger me at first because i thought they would interlace the story lines side by side so that we could build each character into the way we could care and love each of them. But the game brings you to a climax with the story of Ellie, making us hurt for her and HATE everyone that was a part of Joel's killing. I enjoyed the murder of each of Abby's friends, and I was hoping that a fight would entail to kill Abby right in the theater and end the game. But no, they throw you back to the beginning of the game and force you to grind though another 10-12 hours playing as the character you hate the most! I don't care about this person, I hate this person! I want her to die I don't care about her or her friends well being. Then they try to change her perception from being an **** by saving those kids. But it's far too little, far too late. They absolutely ruined the entire game with not only the forcing of Abby on you, but the way they do it as well. Then while you think they've salvaged up whatever ending they may have left with Ellie able to be happy with Dina and her child, they rope you into another few hours on a mission that only lengthens and ruins the story even more. Not only revoking you of the death you desire of Abby, but stealing any sort of happiness Ellie may have left. Leaving you feeling empty inside, the whole game feeling pointless. Just to wrap up I've seen some people upset at the fact that Ellie is gay and that the scar child is trans.
    There are some little parts in the story that baffled me by it's unnecessary placement, but others i felt were warranted. I feel like Ellie being gay was a good idea, before the trailer came out I figured she would be anyhow. I don't mind the trans placement with the child. I feel like they should've maybe made him a bit older to give more certainty to his choice, but in the context of the story it makes sense. He and his sister became outcasts because of his choice, and that's what brings them to Abby and poses them against their own people and I thought it was interesting. The sex scene though, totally out of left field and unnecessary. It is only even a thing for a few minutes in the next scenes and I feel only put in to make the story seem even more adult. But to put that on top of characters I couldn't care less about, and towards the end of a story I only want to wrap up, it wasn't needed.
    I give this game a 4 solely because of how much I enjoyed going through the mobs as Ellie, trying to get revenge for Joel. This game could've been so much better and after years of waiting it is an utter disappointment. At this point they should've just kept it alone with the first game, at least it left the story at a better place than this.    … Expand

    What can i say Gameplay okay graphics amazing Animations amazing as well but the story **** it up. I believe if this game was a stand Alone and we didnt know the characters and not a sequel to the last of us i believe that would be worth an 8 but well compared to the first this One is worst.

    para mi me parece uno de los mejores juegos que saco naugthidog.
    la resolución de texturas me parece impresionante sobre todo las partículas de nieve o esporas.
    el tema de combate lo mejoraron por excelencia al 1.
    la ecolocación me gusta como la han dejado y queda mas realista y sobretodo esperemos que el multijugador no sea como el 1

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 in my opinion is a masterpiece although the choices of some parts of the story I question overall I left my first play through feeling desperate for more I was not only intrigued over the adventure Abby but it gave a whole new perspective on why she would want to do the things she has done. Overall I understand why people are frustrated with this game but that’s why opinions are opinions I think they did an even better story than the first game in expressing how getting revenge can mean loosing everything but at what cost do I stop? We see that perfect example here in part 2 as a 18 year old who’s favourite game was the last of us the second it released being 14 at the time had me feeling like I grew up with these characters and the loss of Joel in part 2 hurt but I grew to understand I hated Abby and left my first play through quite annoyed and bitter but my second play through I learned forgiveness and my 2nd run I felt a lot more of what naughty dog was trying to achieve I loved the first game as I do this one I have platinumed both and would love to see more of what this universe has to offer with the continuation of this story hopefully Ellie’s story as she’s still young you never know. 10/10… Expand

    En lo personal me encantó el juego, me hizo experimentar lo que la mayoría de los juegos no han echo, tener enojo, emoción, tristeza, compasión, un 10/10 rotundo, toda esa gente que le da mala calificación no saben entender los mensajes que da la historia tienen la mente cerrada

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I first played The Last of Us 1 when I was 11 years old, and even at that age I could feel the range of emotions that most people twice my age could feel. Now it's been 7 years later and unlike some people I wanted a second game. After playing the game it breaks my heart to say that this game was absolutely terrible. The bond that was in the first game between Ellie and Joel wasn't there in this game. It was in a couple of the flashbacks but it just wasn't there. A lot of people are complaining about he politics in the game like the fact Ellie is lesbian but honestly I really couldn't see the politics being pushed in this game, and the fact Ellie makes sense 100% considering in the first games left behind dlc it confirmed she was. Enough about the story I don't want to talk about the story too much because I know there are 100 other reviews that are going to only talk about the story. I want to focus on another terrible part of the game and also some good parts. Starting with the bad parts which is gameplay, the gameplay in this game started off great it was really nice it was different than the last game the stealth in my opinion was actually really good, but the problem is, is that you do this the entire game. Some will argue that "you don't have to always do stealth" yes that's true but that would mean you only have two choice gameplay wise. Kill bad guys with loud gun, or kill bad guys with knife or bow. This gets extremely repetitive and after the first 5 hours of the game. Another thing that I dislike about this game is how 85% of the game is based around Seattle, this gets very old unlike in the first game where there was multiple areas that you was able to explore for long periods of the game. moving on from negative things about the game, which there are many more I could cover but i'll leave that for the other reviews. I wan't to talk about some things this game did very well. First thing is graphics this game had amazing graphics although I had to play it on my loud ass ps4 it was still an amazing looking game, I remember taking a lot of screenshots during the cut scenes and out of the cut scenes because of how amazing the game looked. That's all I really have to say about the graphics but if I had to rate the graphics alone 10/10 moving on. Soundtrack, there is very few other games out there that has a great as soundtrack as this one and surprise surprise those other games are naughty dog games. Naughty dog does a great job with the soundtrack in the game and better yet connecting the characters with it. I actually liked this soundtrack enough to pick up the guitar again and learn a few of the songs from the game, which by the way are very good. Anyway i'm getting tired of typing so I will just end this review here. If I had to say weather or not you should buy this game I'd say no, just because this game honestly ruined the entire franchise for me with it's terrible story telling... Just keep the memories of the first game alive and pretend this game doesn't exist...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went through a journey, it frikkin sucked at first. I launched Abby off a cliff every chance I had. But, I got it out of my system, I decided to stick with it, see where this goes. Really sought to understand how the story is unfolding as I played and in the end, I witnessed an edgy, gritty, modern revenge tale told from 2 perspectives, that ticked all the boxes for me. Might I add, the Ellie boss fight was the most incredible feeling I've ever had in gaming. It was hard, she was OP, so I wanted to do my best, but no, my heart was screaming at me, no you can't kill Ellie.. no, just no! How many games just rip you apart like that these days?

    I'll still say, TLOU2 is in no way the story I wanted, as a fan of the first outing I still feel disappointed that this franchise isn't a Joel and Ellie team up anymore. However, the more I review the story, the more it clicks into place for me.. with all Joel had done, especially the atrocious act of severing humanity's last chance.. would he really have met a good end? Are we really okay with a happily ever after for him, those were questions I never really had the answers to, even from the first game.

    As much as I love the character, he'd done some **** and that's putting it lightly.. If it wasn't Abby, it would have been someone else coming after him. And as a narrative-focused gamer and movie-goer, I appreciate this ballsy decision in the end. If they wanted to just make more money, more sequels, they would have pandered to fans, more and more Joel and Ellie adventures.. TLOU4, or make that 10.. and I wonder if that isn't a worse kind of death for my favourite gaming MCs.

    It may be sounding a lil like an ND wank now, so let me clarify.. no, the story wasn't perfect, I don't feel Druckmann is a genius or anything like that. However, objectively.. it was pretty good. For me it was coherent, it had depth and originality, it certainly doesn't deserve the "universally negative reviews" it's getting right now. IMHO that's only happening because if the leak fiasco which has skewed everything. Imagine if someone leaked Empire Strikes Back, back in the day.. there might have been a riot! The reviews would probably be totally different than the love it's enjoying right now, because the audience had to wait to see it to experience the proper "shock".

    ... to appease the rage of the worst of us (pun intended), the 3-4 year skips is plenty enough room for a TLOU 1.5... could even be covered in the TV series.. One can always dream~ but, if we let viral cancel culture take over here, the IP becomes unprofitable and it's good bye forever...    … Expand

    Breathtaking, dark, brutal and an emotionally taxing game. Without watching any promotional material or trailers I finished this game. This game is exceptional in all areas! I've also finished the first game. I appreciate the message(s) the writers wanted to convey in this game vs. the first one taking it in a new direction.

    Worst story in Naughty Dog's history by a landslide, which is particularly disappointing since the first Last of Us was one of the best stories I've ever experienced in any medium. Disappointing.

I played first part because of story.Graphic and gameplay are not not such important for me.But in the second part not only story but gameplay is absent.Who could write it?So many plot holes..To say I'm disappointed means nothing to say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a strange review for me since part of me want to give this game a 10 and part of me want to give it a 0. It could have easely been a no brainer 10 for me and I even like many parts of it more than the first one.

    First I want to just list some stuff that I absolutely love about this game (I played the game on the hardest Survival difficulty):

    The character models and their facial expressions and how alive they look is the best I have ever seen in any game.

    The AI behaviour of enemies is the best I have seen in any game (apart from it being a bit too unrealistic how they can't see you crawling around in grass, at least of the hardest difficulty I would have liked if that part was more realistic as how well they can see that.

    The gore and how blood flows and even streams of the characters is the best and most realistic I have seen in any game.

    The environments and sense of details is some of the best I have seen in any game and up on par with the sense of details in games like Red Dead Redemption 2.

    The HUD options where you can tweak almost everything to be visible or not for the most immersive experience possible is amazing

    Now as I said in the beginning this game would normally be a no brainer 10 out of 10 for me and I would even like it more than the first one. Apart from one thing.

    What is that thing? Some might think the story and how the main character is changed and how she kills Joe etc. And no that is not it, I actually love that kind of thing as my favorite novels are those of Mccarthy where cruel and often completely "meaningless" things happens, as that is life and reality (which I am sure is also a big influence on the game)

    I actually ended up liking Abby as a character and sympathised with her in wanting to kill Ellie and thought it was pure genius how they managed to show the other side and actually made me side with the "bad guy" and want to kill the main character heroine. I was so dissapointed and sad when it felt like they just built up for that moment and then reversed on it at the last moment in a very anticlimactic and completely out of character way. It did not make any sense at all.

    However, even though I was sad and dissapointed in this and thought it was a huge waste of potential for all the build up to that point that would still not hurt the game enough for me to not want to give it a 10.

    The main reason now why I can't put a 10 score on this is that I see how they put social agenda before the art of making this game as belivable and realistic as possible. There is games and movies with women that are beliviable and with intergrity, one example that feels quite close to the Last of Us is the movie Sicario. While the woman in that movie feels right for the movie, everything here in this regard just feels forced and unrealistic. They did not make every enemy squad in the game be ordered around by a womans commanding voice because that makes the most sense in the world they are building, but just because of reason: "strong womanz" and that is it. It is extemely transparent when someone makes a piece of art, like a novel or a movie, or a game and tries to make that world be as beliviable as possible (especially when it is as gritty and realistic as this one). It feels very insulting though and transparent when it is obvious that someone puts things like this in their work, not because of the best of the work and the integrity of the work, but just because of their personal agenda, like they just want to preach something at you and that is more important than the art. I can take strong women or gay and trans issues in a work of fiction, if that feels like it belong there and was put there because it should be there in its own right no matter the creators personal agendas, but in this case it is so constantly forced on you that it almost ends up as a comedy where you start to have a hard time to take anything else in the game seriously.

    As I said, I even liked Abby as a character, even with her roid physique (she has back roid acne also so I assume she is on roids as that would actually make sense in the world where you would take drugs like that if you could to enhance your survival chance so I give this the benefit of the doubt here in that it does makes sense in the world and that she was not just built like this to further push uneralstic "strong womanz" agenda, which is sadly probably the only case if I am completely honest)

    It actually speaks to how good the rest of the game is that I still don't want to give this 0. Normally I would never give something any more then 0 that I feel insult me in this way in thinking they can push things on me in this blatant and stupid way. But the game is so good outside all that stuff. It is just sad that we have to see so many great works of art get so tainted by all these agendas these days that does nothing but hurt the believability and integrity of the art that I can't just ignore it either.    … Expand

    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.
