    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i love the game so much. Joel’s death even though it was pathetic made me more angry and made me feel like i was in ellie’s shoes. Playing abby was also very fun since we never really see the villains side of the story on a game and seeing her pov made the game different. In my opinion i feel like most of the fans don’t understand what naughty dog have done by making this game different to most games but i love this game! it’s not as good as the first one but it’s probably my 3 favourite game… Expand

    Visually stunning and a compelling narrative.
    Odd that in a story of viruses, mutations, and cults, the most heart-pounding and gripping elements are the consequences of anger. The lengths one can go for vengeance is clearly the star of the show.

    Gameplay, Graphics, environments, outstanding. Nothing more need be said about those. The story is much more under the surface then the first, a requires a lot of thinking to make ends of. I came out with a deep appreciation, and recommend anyone on the fence make their decision about this game by playing it.

    Fantastic game. When it comes to video games, Naughty dog is the best in storytelling. Before you judge this game. Keep an open mind and follow the story all the way through. Its worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dived into this game with caution after reading some general comments on social media. I took my time to play it and enjoy it and I am glad that I did it with an open mind. This is one of the best narratives I've seen in a videogame,

    Calling this a "revenge story" is diminishing what this game tries to portray, those gamers hating the game because they make you play as Abby are exactly what the developers wanted. To feel the anger of pain of losing a father, but then understanding the path to forgiveness and acceptance.

    If you got mad at Joel's death, felt Anger towards Abby, wanted her to die as much as Ellie did, the the game suceeded and deserves all the praise in the world. However, if at the end of the game you got mad because the plot of revenge never came to an end, then you might have beaten the game, but failed at what the story was trying to portray.

    The only reason why this game is not a 10 IMO is because the gameplay loop is a little bit boring (just as the first one) and because I really didn't enjoy the setting of the last chapter.    … Expand

    This game was not what most people expected. It was not a Hollywood sequel. It took risks and was tonally and structurally very different from the original. It had some pacing problems and some **** marketing but intimately the story itself is amazing.

The game is visually stunning and it’s sound design has outdone itself and I think part 2s soundtrack might be better then part 1s. The gameplay takes from the original and expands upon it with more customization and a bigger focus on stealth. The game feels so scrappy like your getting through by the skin in your teeth which creates so much tensions and immerses you in the experience. As for the story, Its so ambitious, really challenging the player to feel conflicted with the playable characters and the decisions their making. The game both expands on Joel and ellies relationship and introduces new characters that are charming and complicated creating very an emotionally heart wrenching and tense experience in which the game asks you to have empathy for everyone and that no ones a hero in this story. It’s a tale of loss, grief, violence, Forgiveness, empathy, hate and love and it will certainly stick with me for a long time. this game is not for everyone so I recommend you go into it with an open mind and maybe just maybe you will see the genius among the madness. is not… Expand

    Esta es una historia para todo tipo de personas, por supuesto que muchas personas lo odian y respeto eso. Pero sin duda es una continuación más que digna y justificada de la anterior, donde profundizamos la relación con Ellie y Joel.
    No quiero dar spoilers, pero si realmente entiendes de filosofía y literatura, el final con el que nos deja es un claro ejemplo de como llevar una historia a su límite. El final es una simbologia total de la relación que Ellie no pudo arreglar a tiempo con Joel, hasta que al final, por fin puede perdonarse a si misma, esa es la razón por la qué no mata a Abby.

    I can see why people didn’t like the end but as life itself this game doesn’t give you the full satisfaction. I saw lots of critics on the characters development but I think all the people disliking the game just wanted to keep loving Ellie’s character.

There are some pacing issues that drag down the story towards the second half, but after another hour or so it gets back on track and is incredibly engaging. I would say hard mode is the best way to play the game, survivor has the best enemy A.I. but requires a bit of trial and error, at least in my experience. It’s very hard to talk about the story without getting into spoilers but most of the critiques levied against this game’s story are easily explained, besides pacing issues which I previously mentioned. Don’t let this game pass you by because of outrage culture and play it for yourself; it is a fantastic experience that I’ve been thinking about and digesting nonstop since I reached the ending.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I see all the people saying that they hate playing as Abby and they despise her. I understand them, she killed Joel in a horrible way, like a monster. I wasn't thrilled to play as Abby also and I was very mad at her and wanted to see Ellie kill her brutally, the same way she did to Joel,
    but when you get to know her and listen to her story and her perspective of the world it makes you empathize with her. Because Joel killed two things for her 1) Her dad (in a very brutal way, I believe that he could just push him away or knock him out, and not shove a syringe down his throat) 2) Any hope for a vaccine/cure for the infection, and hope for a better world, a saved world.
    All that just so he won't lose Ellie, which, became like a daughter for him. I understand why he did it but I really didn't agree with it. So I can understand Abby, not agree or justify her actions, but understand them. This game is way more complex then good-evil/wrong-right/Villain-hero
    I think its a beautiful game and it has a really awesome gameplay mechanics and overall very fun game to play and get into it. I'm not giving it 10/10 because It failed to connect me to the characters and really empathize with them as the first one did. And I didn't get emotional with this game like the first game. I believe that many of the deaths in this game were not dealt with, and you didn't feel anything for them because the player didn't show any emotion to their death (Manny/Jessie ) and just forgot about them. Unlike the first game, Tess's death does have an impact on Joel's and Ellie's journey. Maybe not a huge one, but they don't just brush it away, they tend to it and Ellie tries to talk about it. I think that the meaning and impact of death were lacked in the second game. Other than that its a beautiful and amazing game. 9/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the problem is that everyone thinks Joel is an immortal being, and they don’t realize that he has changed since he arrived in Jackson, but the important thing is, in an apocalypse, he doesn’t have a heroic death, people die like **** at the end of game, it shows that Abby's boat is ahead, but Ellie's is not, you know why? It's because she still doesn't understand that revenge only screwed her up, but Abby already realized that her search for revenge to kill Joel, killed all of her friends, and that revenge didn't bring anything, but Eliie hasn't realized it yet , I believe that those who didn’t understand the game and gave 4 ~ 5 really didn’t think straight, I think it could be something else, but no problem, TLOUS 2 is a game about love, not revenge, what proves this is that Abby doesn’t wanted to continue revenge, for having someone like Lev, who is important to her.… Expand

Look I played the game 3 times already , and here is a quick review of the game in my opinion. 1) story is actually good if you actually understand the point of it. Slightly weaker narrative than the first game 2) Main Characters are excellent. Loved Ellie and Abby, the side characters are mainly plot devices especially Abby’s friends. Wished could’ve learned more about Dina and Jessie they were interesting characters 3) Gameplay is amazing very responsive and smooth. when you play as Abby, she is basically Joel, she can bust up skulls with her bare hands just like joel. Ellie’s gameplay is also well designed. Going stealth as Ellie is the super fun, using the bow with explosive arrows is so satisfying 4) Graphics is AMAZING.
    5) Lastly Joel’s death, yes it’s sad , I’ve seen many people’s reaction to this and majority said that he doesn’t deserve this death and should have a hero’s death. Look man Joel’s no hero, the man did bad things to get what he wants and he literally is a selfish man he literally prevented a cure from happening just so he get a second chance to have a daughter. The reason why we love him so much is because he’s so real , we learned his side of the story and he is a father figure to Ellie. That’s why we adore him so much. But saying he deserves a hero’s death is dumb. Overall love the game so much 9/10    … Expand

Единственное с чем у меня смешанные эмоции, это финал, я хоть и не профессиональный сценарист, но разве не лучше, что элли бы всё осознала, и просто отпустила Эбби? Хотя скорее всего это сделано для того чтобы показать полную неразбериху с эмоциями и действиями Элли.

Honestly really loved this game, thought it was less bleak than people made out (even the ending), loved the the relationship between Ellie and Dina, my only real criticism is Manny, who was...really badly written as a walking latinx stereotype :/

    As a trans person, I appreciated and liked the trans rep with Lev, very cute character and his relationship with Abby was reminiscent of Ellie and Joel in the first game

    I felt Joel's death makes sense, I always assumed he'd die and him going out in a blaze of glory would make no sense, and considering most "revenge" stories focus on a white dude's love ones (usually a wife and/or kid) getting fridged, this was a pretty refreshing take IMO

Las nuevas mecánicas como arrastrarse y esquivar le dotan de mucha profundidad al juego, además de poder disparar y crear objetos desde el suelo. El nivel de escenarios es increíble, con muchas opciones a la hora del combate o el sigilo, con mucha verticalidad. A nivel técnico es de los más bestia que hay en la actual generación junto a Red Dead Redemption 2, además de que se mantienen a 30 fps estables sin bajones. La BSO, personalmente, me ha gustado, pero es más de acompañamiento y suena en ciertos momentos. A nivel de personajes y de historia me ha gustado mucho, contando una un trama de venganza donde ni los malos son tan malos ni los buenos tan buenos. Los personajes son tan humanos que impactan y empatizas con ellos a un gran nivel. Un juego que tienes que jugar sí o sí si te gustan los videojuegos.… Expand

    порой затянутого однообразного прохождения, определённые логические неувязки в сюжете. Но при всём при этом, я считаю что атмосфера левел-дизайна и сама суть игры, которую, кстати, многие не поняли в силу симпатий к персонажам первой части, окупает всё сполна. Я считаю смелой и оригинальной идею заставить игрока играть за персонажа из противоположного лагеря и столкнуть его с уже полюбившимся персонажем из первой части и начала этой игры. Бессмысленность существования, крах цивилизации, жестокость и месть, не знающие границ, мракобесие, милитаризм, ад на земле. Русскоязычное название даёт достаточно однобокое обозначение того, что игра за собой подразумевает. Это "Не последние из нас". По сути это "последнее, что осталось в нас от нас, людей", "последнее, что отделяет наше поведение от поведения животных", разумеется, с этической точки зрения.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story: While this game's story doesn't live up to the original, a feat that honestly isn't possible, it still is extremely strong. The main issue being that we are given too many character arcs to be able to empathize with all at once. By the end of the characters' journeys, and witnessing the destruction they have cause I was left feeling empty, but not in a bad way. I do not understand the negative reviews one bit, the characters people dislike are actually the strong point of the game and are morally superior to the characters from the original. There is one horrible love triangle and adult scene that shouldn't have been included and felt entirely like a trope.

    Gameplay: Once I got the hang of the aggressive stealth combat, I felt this game was top tier. It's a giant step up from the previous game and many other AAA stealth games I've played. The pacing is a bit off due to all the scavenging and there are a few too many encounters that don't service the story, but I'd still give it a 9 or 10/10

    Graphics/Musical Score: 10/10 enough said.

This sequel takes the human complexity and emotional turmoil of the first game and extends it to new and more exciting heights. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and the risks Naughty Dog took with it. This game challenges every emotion you can possibly feel and if you're heart is open like it no doubt was when you played the first game, it will masterfully manipulate you to love characters you otherwise wouldn't think twice about and question their decisions-- for better or worse.

    Story aside, the gameplay is pristine. It takes the real and gritty approach from the first installment and improves upon it greatly. Both character and inventory movement flow seamlessly and are highly satisfying. The variety of approaches and combat devices Naughty Dog has thrown into this game is so dope. I didn't even know you could jump on top of enemies and knife them until my third playthrough! Whether you want slow and anxious stealth or hard-hitting gory action this game more than delivers.

    This game is more than a game, really. It is a comment piece on the human psyche and the actions it warrants. It really challenges the gamer's perception of our own world with a complex narrative and engrossing combat that leaves the player drawn in and wanting more.    … Expand

That would be the only thing that would get Ellie on a revenge rampage... it makes sense, let’s not forget that they killed Sarah in the first minutes of the 1st game in the most beautiful game scene we ever saw/felt! That being said, I have one problem with it: The Chronological jumps to show the players the story! The producers used these flashbacks to make us feel how they wanted us to feel, like now we want u to feel nostalgic, so there is a Ellie and Joel scene from the past. For me they should’ve played everything in Chronological Order, that way we would be able to see Joel and Ellie relationship get stronger and then bad when she found out the truth of the 1st game, and in the mist of it the cataclistic event that pushes the game forward. Then Abby and Ellie switches should happen in the same day, like Seattle 1 with Abby, then Seattle 1 with Ellie.. because the way it is right now, when you play Abby, this long time feels like its a different game and and a different story, and you kinda feel it disconects from the main story and then they patch up at the end! If they changed the order not only of the main levels also for most of the flashbacks they would delivered better the same powerful story that really connects from beginning til the end!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это шедевральная игра. Не понимаю почему люди так засрали ее. Сюжет мне понравился, но он не идеален в том плане, что людям подавай душещепательные истории, многие этого не понимают, поэтому хейтят игру за сюжет. Я думаю, что авторы хотели показать жизнь такой какая она есть: Джоэл- слабый человек, принял решение жизни за Элли; Эбби убивает Джоэла, но как по мне Джоэл тогда не понял, что произошло, а должен бы, чтобы усвоить урок; Элли начинает мстить всем людям, кто причастен в смерти Джоэла, она не разобралась во всем кто все эти люди (бывшие цикады), она даже не знала, что Джоэл убил отца Эбби. Элли тоже не идеальна, так как все равно продолжила мстить, после того как ее пощадили аж два раза. Хоть я и не очень шарю за жизнь и не знаю, как поступил бы сам примерно в такой же ситуации, но со стороны я все это вижу так. Геймплей абсолютно такой же как и в первой части, несмотря на некоторые нюансы, игра выглядит как продолжение первой части. Мало музыки в игре было, в первой части было больше музыки, которая подходила в разные момент, эта музыка очень важна, так как она поддерживает накал страстей, эмоций, и музыка из первой части очень подходила. На счет ЛГБТ повестки, я считаю, что не нужно пихать людям это в лицо, люди и сами разберутся, как им жить, людям непривычно видеть это везде, так как все привыкли, что мальчик с девушкой, а когда наоборот, то это выглядит странно, хотя может это и к лучшему, нужно привыкать ко всей этой теме.… Expand

Some of the highly impactful and effective characters we see in the story are incomplete and wasted of their potential. The world emerges and expands much much bigger than the first game but it causes to lose the strands that ties the story at some parts. The acting is unshakably strong and polished thanks to the brilliant developers, the precious Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey, all the executives and the director and co-writer of the game; Neil Druckmann and all the team made this possible working at Naughty Dog.

    According to the gameplay, the gaming sensations, the second part    Without spoilers! Before the release of the second part, I purposefully for the first time passed a remaster of the main game and addition. Having fresh impressions, having passed both parts one by one, I want to say that the second part is not only not inferior to the original, but, on the contrary, surpassed it.
    According to the gameplay, the gaming sensations, the second part instantly makes it clear - this is still the same The last of us. And this is great, because it makes you feel exactly in that world of post-apocalypse zombies in which the player during the first part is used to acting, to remember the same feelings, but learning a new story. The gameplay has not undergone major changes, because it did not need them, and those small innovations that were added in the second part suddenly turned out to be very useful to the place. The ability to jump and crawl more than expected would diversify the battle, and zombies have become more dangerous and interesting.
    The second part received the level of graphics and direction that she deserved. All your favorite characters, locations, zombies, even spores seemed to come to life. The feeling that in the first part I saw everything through dusty glasses, and only having started playing the second part, I finally took them off. It's so great to see such living Ally, Joel, Tommy and Maria, even the clicker. Fights look much more dynamic and cinematic even.
    My only complaint about the game, which is why I lowered my score by one point, is that in my opinion the game is stretched, there are repeated locations and situations that could be missed. As far as I can see, this is a problem not only of this game, but of the gaming industry in general recently. The developers are trying to stretch the timing of the game intentionally to make it more voluminous, but at the same time not having enough resources to work out the entire content in detail, because of this, frankly boring and of the same type sometimes appear. In my opinion, the game would only win if the number of hours required to complete it would be slightly less. At the same time, in addition to several levels with repeated battles, most of the game locations are made perfectly. They are diverse, atmospheric and memorable.
    The game is great. And above all, this concerns the disclosure of the characters and the complexity of moral issues that are posed not only to the heroes of the game, but also to the player. The plot of the second part is more complex and not as straightforward as in the original, and therefore its perception strongly depends on who perceives, that is, on the player. There is an assumption that the inability and unwillingness to look at the situation from different perspectives, to think, to put yourself in the place of another person is the reason for most of the negative reviews that I read here, and this is sad. I really want the game developers to continue to raise and disclose complex topics, and the gaming community to develop.    … Expand

    With Part II, Naughty Dog improved greatly on gameplay for the player. Survival horror was revived with the first game and now is remastered and improved with Part II.
    With having creatures that can’t be heard and that are faster and harder to go against from what you were used to. And also humans having difficulty strategy due to which group they are apart of.
    For a gameplay perspective, it’s better than the first in many ways.
    Story-wise, I can see where the team was going with this approach, and I can’t say that it fully worked for me though. I will commend them for being different and having us play from perspectives. But the way the game was edited and pasted made it not only a little confusing at certain points but made the player forced to finish the game with them not wanting to.
    Many are frustrated due to leaks and deaths, but The Last of Us Part II is not just a story, but still a video game with that.
    It isn’t correct to hate a game for its leaks and delays, you are at fault for looking into them and spoiling for yourself. But it isn’t your fault that you didn’t agree with how they approach this sequel. Maybe this isn’t what you wanted this game to be, but what the creators needed it to be for the players.    … Expand

    Look I get everyone’s butthurt over Joel’s death, but it fits the theme and he kinda had it coming. Ik people are like “oh he wouldn’t have walked in there” or whatever but remember he’s been living in Jackson for 4 years. It’s a quaint town with nice people. He hasn’t had to kill another human in years, so it’s safe to say he let his guard down. Also, they were running from a horde andLook I get everyone’s butthurt over Joel’s death, but it fits the theme and he kinda had it coming.

This game is amazing. Not as good as the first, but still great. I feel like Abby’s section was a bit messy, Nora’s torture could’ve been cooler, and lev being trans was kinda shoehorned in, but those are pretty much my only complaints. Everyone has their opinion on the gameplay, but I liked it in both 1 and this game. The one on one fights were amazing and the most suspenseful moments I’ve ever had in a game. Everyone should definitely play this.… Expand

    The last hour or so was not required for the game. It was a great game that should've ended where it seemed like a perfect ending. However, the lead up to the game is beautiful and had me at my seats. Can't wait to see what else Naughty Dog will bring down the line.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is clear that this is a very polarizing game, and I can understand why some people are upset, but I don't share the common anger directed at this game. I found The Last of Us Part II to be a very unique game in that it solicited an emotional reaction I have very very rarely felt while playing a video game, and in some cases in any other form of media. I believe this game is so successful because it is the first time I have felt that the interactive aspects of video games have produced feelings of personal unease and guilt that can't be replicated in print or film.

    From here on out there are spoilers, so do not read until you have finished the game.

    In the first act of the story, I felt a constant sense of dread. I contribute this to the pacing of the first act and the sound design. If you can play this game with surround sound do so. Naughty Dog uses many tricks taken from cinema such as low-frequency sound to produce unease. Of course, this culminates in the death of Joel. I'm not going to discuss the writer's decision to kill Joel, but I will say that the way it was done was very well crafted. It was emotional and haunting and the themes that stem from the killing permeate the rest of the game.

    The rest of the story is engaging in my opinion, but the finale was not very shocking. Unlike many others, I felt I could sympathize with Abby, and I felt that she fit in with the game's shades of grey morality. I will agree with other's arguments that the story feels unfinished as you never achieve any of Ellie's goals. It feels like you just watch Ellie loose so much with nothing to gain. Others have said the characters and the rest of the story were tone-deaf, and I do not agree with this. I do not wish to discredit opposing views, but I simply disagree. The characters made sense, they were engaging, and their actions were rational. Tonally the game nailed it in my opinion. If I were to compare The Last of Us Part II to a movie it would be the 2009 film The Road. Both are dark, character-driven narratives that relentlessly drive home the point that the apocalypse is brooding and dark and not someplace you want to be. I believe this was Naughty Dog's goal, and I believe they nailed it.

    The graphics and sound design are amazing. There's not much more for me to elaborate on. They're the best we have seen on this generation of consoles, and rival modern-day PC graphics in many ways.

    The gameplay as well is excellent. The fights are vicious, unrelenting, and desperate. It is refreshing playing a game where you do not feel you are playing as some super-killing machine, and that you must use your wits to come out on top. Most encounters are asymmetric and require you to approach them with thought and deliberation. When stuff gets out of control it turns into a desperate battle where you try to exploit your opponent's weaknesses and maximize your character's relative strengths. It is fun and refreshing.

    I'm also going to add that this game is very violent, and I think that is good. Video games too often make violence appear fun and almost comedic. The Last of Us Part II tries to mimic real violence as closely as they can and it is unsettling. There were numerous times where I felt uncomfortable after an encounter, and that is a profound feeling. The fight as Abby against the scar where you slice open his mouth with a scythe comes to mind as very unsettling. The opponents in this game feel very human, and the game takes violence seriously.

    Overall I think this is a game you should play. Despite what many people say I think Naughty Dog achieved their goals in producing a dark and gritty post-apocalyptic world to explore, and in many ways they have acheived what no other developer has been able to do so far.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to say it's almost been 2 weeks since I completed The Last of Us Part II. This is one of those games that you can't get out of your head and I have to say it truly stays there. This is Naughty Dogs post ambitious game ever and you can tell by the story decisions that are implemented into the game. I heard of one of the leaks beforehand and was so disgusted by what I saw, I almost didn't buy the game but I'm glad I gave it chance because it's not as bad as the leaks show it. Now for the big dead elephant in the room, Joel. When I saw Joel's death in the leaks I was so heartbroken and literally couldn't handle the truth of my second favorite game characters dying like that (first being Arthur Morgan). When I played the game I felt the hate go through my body and wanted Abby to die so badly. i understand this is controversial but I loved Ellie's arch in this game becoming into this killer. It showed how when Joel is removed in her life, she isn't the same person and the way the arch was implemented was pretty interesting in my opinion. I gotta admit when the middle happened, I was ready to kill Abby right there and then but then we switch to Abby's side. We get to see Abby's arch as the clock rewinds and we learn her side of the story plus why she had ambitions of killing Joel. Then as soon as you play more with her, you start to feel bad for her and kinda understand where she comes from. I have to say it's bold to make us play as the villain but that isn't true, there are no villains in The Last of Us universe because everyone is just trying to survive this world. It felt like Ellie's arch was Uncharted 4 has she has a goal and is trying to pursue it then Abby's is The Last of Us as Abby and Lev kinda like Joel and Ellie in the first game (gotta admit wasn't as strong as the iconic duo of Joel and Ellie). Then when it reaches the point of both characters trying to kill each other, I had a hard time trying to beat up Ellie but you saw Abby humanize sparing Ellie. As Ellie lives a better life after that with her lover, Dina you see she hasn't humanized and still has that killer inside of her as she can't fill the hole Abby created by taking away Joel. So Ellie goes to kill Abby and then the ultimate climax happens when both characters try to kill each other. I have to admit I wanted the pain of these two characters to stop and I have to admit in my opinion the ending was good as Ellie spares Abby by seeing a memory of herself forgiving Joel. The story was never about revenge, it was forgiveness and what it means to be human. That's when Ellie humanized. As Ellie goes back to her house she saw Dina had disappeared with her child with everything except Ellie's things. Then Ellie tries to play the guitar but has trouble playing it as she lost her fingers in the battle against Abby. Then you get that memory of her forgiving Joel and how that was stolen from her life, it almost gave me tears seeing that. Then it switches back to Ellie's normal life and sets the guitar then leaving the house seeing what happens in her journey. She ended up alone as that was her biggest fear. This game is bold and I didn't talk about everything because the game is so long. The Ellie and Joel flashbacks were one of the best parts of the game, those itself would be considered 10/10 for me. Overall the story was a 9/10 for me, it did have flaws but when I was open-minded I saw the game was truly something unique I've never seen before and I have to give them credit for that. Onto other things, the gameplay is excellent, it's super fun playing as both characters and trying to do amazing stunts with human factions plus infected. The graphics are by far one of the best a console can push, it is truly amazing looking at this game. The cinematography in this game is so breathtaking as you soak in everything this world has to offer, even though it wasn't open world, it looked massive. The music in this game I wonder consider to be better than the first. As actions kicks in the music set the tone and you actually feel like your there. Another thing not getting credit is the sound. My god, the sound is amazing, when you're on a boat hearing the water makes it feel like your really there. Everything in this game sounds amazing. All in all, I would give this game an 9/10. The narrative is thing that pushes the game and I enjoyed it more than other people. Everyone has their own opinion about this game and that should be respected. If you like or hate the game, don't bash others for that opinion. That is all I got and thank you for reading this! P.S I really recommend everyone to watch Girlfriend reviews and Nathan Zed's videos regarding The Last of Us Part II.… 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.

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