    The Last of Us did not need a sequel, however Naughty Dog knew if they were to continue this story it would need to mean something.

This game does not aim to please fans, or cater to what they would have wanted in a story. Instead, if stays true to its own rules, and world that we were introduce to in the first game. Naughty Dog refrained from creating a cash grab feel good game, and instead tells a moving tale about revenge, humanity and the consequences of others, and your own actions. The game is gripping, moving, unrelenting, and somber, and people dislike it for it. Yet that was the tone of the first game. I really don't think anyone could create a real opinion on it unless you play it for yourself, or watch someone play through it fully. I won't ramble on about the graphics, but the gameplay is very similar to the first game, but almost every aspect of it has been improved here. Environments are huge, combat scenarios can be tackled in 10-20 different ways. There are some flaws here, as no game is perfect. Something that definitely could have been improved in my opinion, is the environmental storytelling. To much of it depends on stopping and reading a note, and I would have loved some fallout-esque set design. The pacing of the game can also be criticized, as the game can feel drawn out at some moments, both on the front end of the game, and the back end. They could have shaved 4-5 hours off, and I feel the the story would have flowed a bit better.

    All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in this game. Sure I didn't leave with a massive grin on my face, but not every story is ment to invoke that kind of response, but that sure as hell doesn't mean it's a bad story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People are giving this video game very low scores while failing to give an input on the beautiful graphics, game mechanics, features, voice acting, fear tactics, etc. that made this game very great to play regardless of any opinion towards the storyline and characters. Speaking of the plot and characters, players are failing to see from the many different perspectives of the characters in the game. If the story sparked some emotions, whether it be anger, happiness, sadness, or frustration, then it is valid. Seek to understand the weight of the characters decisions and don’t be so single minded. The purpose of the switch after the climax was to help you gain an understanding of how hurt and revenge works. Yeah someone could hurt you or someone you love, but stop to think of how they’re hurting. Don’t let revenge ruin your life and integrity.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly don't get all the hate. Yes, the game is depressing and in many ways horrible (the story, not the game), but it is also really really good! Is the gameplay perfect? No. Is the story perfect? No. But it is still so, so good! I hate what happened in the beginning of the game, and I wanted Ellie to find and kill Abby. But then you play as Abby, and oh my gosh! I kinda ended up loving her! Not what she did, but her, as a character. And sweet little Ellie! I feel for her and my heart kept breaking for her as the story went on. This game suprised me in many ways, and had me in tears many others. Seriously! Play it, and try to stop being offended that Joel died. This game does not deserve zeroes. There have been games I personally don't like that I can still appreciate for the game it is. And this one is gritty and dark and depressing, but also beautiful in a dark way and wonderful and heartbreaking and deserving of love.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is pretty great. It does have its story issues but overall it's a great piece of work. I guess they could have done the major twist in a slightly different way, maybe reshuffle the order of play from Ellie to Abby. That said I actually loved the Abby part. Ngl originally I wasnt a fan since it felt like I was forcibly pushed out of Ellie's story, but the more I played with Abby the more I liked her. It wasnt even about me 'forgiving' her for killing Joel, she was quite a well-rounded character.
    The end is quite dark and leaves this stale feeling knowing that Ellie, who we have rooted for since the first game, does not get a happy ending but thats the good part about this game, it's quite realistic in that sense.
    My only big criticism is why on earth has no one realised that killing Ellie in the first game would have been such a stupid idea and would have most likely destroyed any potential for a vaccine???    … Expand

    Disappointment, that is what generated the end of the game, for me the bases of a good game are: the music, the gameplay and the history, this game is outstanding in the first two points, but the history is not what you you wait (in the bad sense of the word). I don't think I can replay The Last of Us: Part 2 if I have to be frowning during the 25 hours it lasts.

Also when you get to the switch over. But after seeing Abby's flash back etc I completely see why she did what she did. Looking back at the 1st game you can't deny Joel was not a squeaky clean persin and he does technically doom the world. That had to come with consequences. Watching Ellie throw away her family for revenge when she is spared twice by Abby had me screaming in my head to give up and live her life. It's a story that flips the concept of good and evil. Actions have consequences. Looking forward to the finally in part 3… Expand

I totally understand people's frustrations with the story and I can see how some may get annoyed with the gameplay. I however really enjoy the game so far. I don't think it's perfect by any means but its definitely a really good game. The gameplay alone makes it a 6-7 out of ten for me. There so many little intricate details that make combat just the funnest thing. It's exactly what I've always wanted out of a game. It feels like a fight. Enemies aren't bullet sponges and neither are you. You can die just as easily as they can and it makes taking down a large group of enemies fun every time. I will say some of the traversal can get a little tedious. Not because its difficult or anything its just full of those moments when the door is right in front of you but you have to go all the way around to open it and it feels like fluff to make the game longer. Now on to the story. I really can't say its bad. I can't tell you its poorly written and I honestly can't tell you that its "the worst story ever." I will say that I didn't love the direction they went with things. I'm not going to spoil it but the big thing that pisses people off, isn't that bad. Honestly, it was expected. I don't think the story would have been needed if they didn't do it and if it didn't happen then reviews would likely say that the game was forgettable. That being said, the thing i don't love is what they did to Ellie. Shes no longer the sarcastic fun loving happy go lucky child, she used to be. Now, she's a mean angry adult who rarely cracks jokes and makes the game miserable. I hate that. Ellie is one of my all-time favorite characters and honestly, shes been ruined. Its the single most worst handleing of a character ive ever seen. So that makes this review conflicting. I love the game. I honestly love the game. But i really hate some of the things they did. I would say its a 7.59999999999 but i need to round up to an 8. I feel like thats fair.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic game! You NEED to play both as Abby and Ellie to fully understand the main message of the game; Cycle Of Revenge. When Joel kills Abby’s father and then she kills Joel then it forces Ellie to go after Abby. This cycle would go on forever if Ellie killed Abby. Ellie thought about Joel and realized that she needed to stop this cycle. She lets Abby live, which would make no sense if we only saw the game from the point of view of Ellie. This only makes sense because we see the consequences of killing in both Abby’s story and Ellie’s. I loved all the guitar parts literally my favourite parts of the entire game and the gameplay is fantastic. Story may not be what you want, but instead what it needs to be. Sorry not sorry... overall good game but the way they killed Joel just makes me super sad and I really did hate playing as Abby but I understand that it was necessary. For those reasons, 8/10.… Expand

That said, take the tens of thousands of negative reviews with a major grain of salt.

    Being part of that 20 percent, I have to say that this game is so much more inspired and has much more depth than it's getting credit for. From the game's design, to yes, the story. So while it may not be what you expected/wanted it to be, ND still did a good job of providing backstory and explaining WHY certain events may have taken place. I will admit, the game can feel a bit drawn out at times, and perhaps it is. But it's not as hollow and "predictable" as people are making it out to be. (Not unless you've seen the leaks, which I was fortunate enough to avoid.) Despite all the outrage, TLOU2 is one of the best titles I've played in quite some time. If you're a fan of the first game and didn't have it spoiled for you, please do yourself the favor of playing TLOU2 someday. Whether that means paying full price or buying it on sale, it's every bit worth the experience.    … Expand

The layouts of fights were sometimes claustrophobic enough to induce panic, and sometimes wide and open with many options for stealth or head-on fights. I had a brief moment around 60% of the way through the game where I was feeling a bit of drag and was tempted to go read ending spoilers to see where everything was going. I'd recommend powering through if you haven't been spoiled - I'm glad I did!

    The good:
    Characters: The supporting cast was charming and fun without devoting too much game time to fleshing them out. Ellie is older and is grappling with some heavy stuff, and you can't help but feel everything alongside of her. New characters are a welcome addition to the mix of motivations and interactions.
    Setting: The locations are great and feel fresh, even spots that can be overused in games (subway stations, banks)

    The bad:
    Timeline/series of events: Sometimes I felt a little like I was watching Westworld Season 2. Where are we? What's already happened? Non-linear timelines can be executed well, but in this case it was a bit distracting. The structure of the game was already a creative use of timelines, so adding in random flashbacks was additionally jarring.
    Theme/gameplay combo: This game has a strong message about choice, but at no point did I feel I could make a meaningful impact on the story. Games that are on rails are totally fine, but I have to imagine a small decision tree could have been implemented to great effect.

    Overall, great game. Suffers from a sequel's curse of not quite hitting exactly the same notes as the first game, but amazing nonetheless.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created this account just so I could leave a review for this game...I will probably never leave another review. I just finished the game and I think the user reviews are ridiculously unfair for a number of reasons. I do think that the first game was better overall, but by no means is this the "worst video game of all time," as so many other reviewers have written. My only major complaint was that I found the character movements to be a little cumbersome. For a game released in 2020 that has been in development for this long, I expected it to be a little smoother. That said, I otherwise enjoyed the game, but I want to address some of the common reasons others are review-bombing this game. If you don't care about my opinion (and really, why should you?), then feel free to stop reading here. If you are interested, hopefully I can provide some insight below (this part will contain spoilers and is LONG...sorry):

    1. A lot of people are mad that they killed Joel, but I really don't care; he's a fictional character from a single game. Video games and other media kill/write off characters all the time and replace them with new ones. I can't say I wasn't a little shocked/disappointed at first, but as I kept playing, I thought it fit fine within the narrative. Nobody freaked out and review-bombed Endgame when they found out Tony Stark was killed, and that guy was in way more releases within his universe (10) than Joel was in the Last of Us universe (1). I would just say don't invest so much emotional weight in a fictional character.

    2. Another reason people are mad is the Abby character. Again, I really don't have an issue with this character. Yes, she seems like the villain early on, but I think as the game continues, it is clear that there are no heroes or villains. Abby got revenge on Joel for what he did to her father. Ellie then goes on a quest for revenge against Abby (and others) for what she did to Joel. Both playable characters make questionable choices and I really don't think either was ever intended to be labeled as hero or villain (and I think this is also true in the first game with Joel...yes he is the protagonist, but I don't think he was a "hero;" he basically doomed all of humanity to save the life of a single person). I personally liked playing as both Abby and Ellie, because it allowed the user to see both sides of the story.

    3. The last thing that some seem to be complaining about is the issue of gay/transgender characters. I suspect that many more of the negative reviews are about this issue than let on in their comments. A lot of people have been saying things like the story/plot is bad, but that is a load of crap. As far as video games go, it's still above average. It's not as good a story as the first game, but it's certainly not a bad one. I suspect that a lot of reviewers, rather than say something others may condemn as homophobic, just cop-out and say the plot is bad instead of sharing their real feelings. Other reviewers are more direct and just admit they hated the game cause they felt like a "gay agenda" was being pushed. Again, this is a load of crap. You can have gay characters without having a political agenda. I think too many reviewers are letting their own political views and biases get in the way and are doing too much "reading between the lines." In the end, it's just a video game...I don't think anyone is trying to push an agenda or make you feel a certain way about gay rights or gay culture. If you play this game and that IS the impression you get, I think that's more on you than on the game, and you should consider pulling your head out of your bum to get a better perspective.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Многие хейтят эту игру за ЛГБТ или «плохой» сюжет, а также феминизм. Да, местами ЛГБТ и вправду бесит, но этого не так много. Если представить обычную гетеросексуальную пару, то они так себя и вели, так что обвинять эту игру в пропаганде ЛГБТ - бред. А вот с феминизмом другие дела. Его тут много. Ладно главный герой - это женщина, ладно даже два главных героя - женщины, но то что Naughty Dog сделали с Эбби - это полный п****ц. Перекачанное некрасивое нечто. Конечно не все девушки должны быть красавицами, но это, это перебор. У Элли же с внешностью всё в порядке. Но феминизм проявляется не только во внешности, но и в геймплее. Маленькая, практически беззащитная Элли, превратилась в машину для убийств, для которой нет преград. То же самое и с Эбби, но тут и так понятно, что это терминатор. А теперь разберём сюжет. Он здесь неоднозначный: одни говорят, что это шедевр, другие - что историю слили и сюжет г*вно. Кто же всё таки прав? С первого взгляда сюжет и правда такой себе, я ожидал что-то другое. Но когда ты начинаешь копаться в нём, добираешься до его посыла, до смысла сюжета, ты понимаешь: это ведь реально шедевр. Сюжет о девочке, которая в погоне за справедливостью потеряла всё. Эта игра учит нас тому, к чему может привести насилие, тому, что в погоне за своими желаниями, ты можешь потерять многое, если не всё. Многим не понравился сюжетный момент с Эбби, ведь это по сути главный антагонист, который убил полюбившимся многим Джоэла. Но это было необходимо. Таким образом разработчики хотели показать, что нет плохих или хороших людей. Играя за Эбби мы делаем много хороших поступков, а играя за Элли - много плохих. И уже с одной стороны персонаж плохой, а с другой - хороший. Также много негатива вылилось из-за концовки, где Элли, жертвуя всем, просто отпускает Эбби, хотя уже её фактически победила. Мне самому это не очень понравилось, лучше бы Элли её убила и потеряла всё. По итогу она и не отомстила, и при это ещё и потеряла свою любовь, друзей и два пальца. Но даже такую концовку модно оправдать. Элли считала, что в её кошмарах и мучениях из-за смерти Джоэла виновата Эбби, и вообще по логике это так, ведь она убила его. Но в одном из флешбеков Элли узнаёт, что Джоэл наврал ей в конце первой части The Last of Us, из-за чего смотри на него обижается. По итогу она не успела при жизни простить его. В конце же она поняла из-за чего эти кошмары, из-за того, что она не успела простить Джоэла, а не из-за того, что его убили, и она отпускает Эбби. Цитата: «Элли мучали кошмары и она думала, что это из-за Эбби, но когда она топила её, то поняла, что дело в том, что она не простила Джоэла во время жизни». Игра даёт почву для размышлений, так что пусть каждый думает сам, что значит эта концовка и игра в целом.… Expand

    I understand the criticisms the game is getting. The game makes some ballsy moves both gameplay and story wise but I can appreciate it for what it tried to do. I still enjoyed it but it's hard to not get frustrated/confused when the game is split up the way it is.
    I think the game does a really good job of humanising enemies and forcing you to see things from different perspectives.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я дикий фанат первой части. Она для меня одна из лучших игр для моей консоли и всё так же ею остаётся. Я с огромным терпением ждал выхода второй части и вот она тут.
    После двух прохождений и получения платины решил сказать своё мнение об этой игре.
    Для меня оригинальная игра осталась на первом месте, сиквелу, увы, не удалось её затмить. Как минимум из-за самого базиса сюжета. В первой части мы наблюдали за взаимоотношениями между разными людьми совершенно разных поколений, от их неприязни друг к другу, до огромной привязанности, заставляющей идти на всё, чтобы спасти жизнь напарнику, который стал уже как часть тебя.
    А что же во второй части? Просто месть. Да, конечно, есть много ещё сюжетных линий, которые скрашивают такой невыдающийся задел, но никак не могут превратить его в шедевр.
    Как по мне, это великолепная игра в плане геймплея и графики, общий сюжет мне тоже понравился, хоть и его основная ветвь содержит 2 непонятных для меня момента.

    *Спойлер!!!*

    1. Какого хрена Джоэл вообще доверился какой-то незнакомой бабе, имея столько-то врагов и опыта за плечами.

    The game is not bad, it has interesting gameplay. but only if the difficulty is above average.
    The characters are not bad. but with the transgender girl, as for me, they went too far.
    The end is what it should be, but I was hoping Ally would kill Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing art, graphics, scenery, interesting and a bit improved gameplay from the first game but man...what about the story. The story is interesting and great BUT it doesn’t fit the first game not even a single bit. I know they said that they’re taking a different approach with it and that was a big mistake in my opinion. They could of killed Joel in later parts of the game and nobody would complain. Some are giving negative reviews because of LGBTQ+ implemented in the game but that’s just stupid. I personally didn’t care about that but the problem was lack of connection between Ellie and Dina. I enjoyed the game nevertheless, even tho I was hoping for a better story. First game still holds the crown in TLOU franchise.

    Perfect by no means but not nearly as bad as the blatant review bombings would make it seem. The game-play only steps things up from the last game, the graphics and world design have improved across the board as well.

    Story is at the front and center of a series like The Last of Us, and well-written stories can be finicky and difficult to create a satisfying follow up for. But a story should at least be experienced in it's entirety before it gets written off as garbage. A lot of people who saw the leak decided to review bomb this game months before release. Actual living people who call themselves game critics or reviewers and have large following said things like "This game is so bad, I'm not even going to play it." when the news about the leak was trending, a sentiment which should be seen as entirely inadequate from the perspective of someone who reviews games for a living. Clearly that sentiment has lasted through to release, and review bombers were in full force within hours of the launch.
    Thing is, while this isn't the story many people had envisioned (whatever that means when you knew nothing about the follow-up plot to begin with), it's not even bad. I do admit it takes awhile to get going, I didn't really like how fast things happened at the beginning, but I also didn't discredit an entire games worth of storytelling based on the first few moments. I really like where the story leaves off, and I like that they've established that Joel and Ellie aren't the Nathan Drake of this series, it's a harsh world they live in and everyone has to bite the dust someday.    … Expand

Por mais que seja contestável o meio como se deu o desfecho do personagem Joel (realmente uma morte tosca para um personagem tão grandioso), é algo que impulsiona o jogar e o faz sentir a raiva que a Ellie sente no momento. Quanto a jogabilidade com a Abby, creio que a Naughty Dog quis nos mostrar que toda história tem sua versão, ou que cada um é o herói de sua própria história. Não precisamos e talvez nem devamos perdoar o que Abby nos fez, mas só perceber que ela também é humana e teve seus motivos, além do final nos mostrar o que um caminho repleto de ódio e vingança pode nos trazer. Ellie perdeu dois de seus dedos, o que a incapacita de tocar violão (um dos últimos elos que ela mantinha com o Joel) e também perdeu a sua nova família. Não chega aos pés do primeiro título, porém a mensagem que esse jogo pretendeu passar, é profunda e muito bem construída.

This game is absolutely masterpiece, people just hated the game once they saw Joel died, but in fact this game is one of the best games ever made in gaming Industry, story telling is just amazing, how the developers got Abby (who killed Joel for vengeance) is just so damn smart.
    The way they connected the characters is so freakin smart and clever, they showed why Abby killed Joel and how Ellie wanted to kill her but after all, in my opinion the ending still sad, but they showed a possibility of a part3 which I’m really looking forward to, I don’t even know why this game had so much hate, I guess ND were right when they said “this game is not for everyone”

    killing Joel wasn't an issue for me expect it happened so early in the game , it was there , he had a past full of bad deeds he wasn't going to die peacefully in his sleep of course but killing him 2 hours in the game i really don't think it's a smart choice
    game play was amazing , graphics and soundtrack are amazing , story not so much what i expected after the first game
    such a letdown on the story side , i hope they can fix this with a DLC or anything else , i also hope they make a third part where they fix the story for the better , the ending wasn't the best , Ellie lost a lot and didn't get what she wanted , she lost Dina , she lost JJ she lost 2 fingers which means she wont be able to play guitar again the last thing that connected her to Joel , while Abby didn't lose as much as Ellie lost , they left the ending opened for a new part , which must be made as they cant leave the game with this ending , i really want to see a game detected for Ellie not anyone else just Ellie    … Expand

    I can understand some of the criticisms about this game's story, but I can't help but get engrossed in its narrative when looking at the bigger picture.

    Before diving into the story, I'll quickly get everything else out of the way by saying that the combat, visuals, and score are all more than serviceable at their worst but outstanding at their best. The combat and exploration does overstay its welcome at times to the point where the game feels almost bloated but it still works wonderfully to help understand just what these characters are going through.

    I want to try my best to not spoil anything about the story, so I'll start by saying what kind of story this ultimately is:

    The story of TLOU2 is about forgiveness but disguises itself as revenge. When you begin the game and start Ellie's journey, everything feels obvious, you know that the person who started this is bad and you need to get revenge for what they've done. But as you play more, you start to see just how many layers there are to what you're doing and how nothing is as black-and-white as it seems, and by the end you understand how selfish acts only hurt everyone - most importantly yourself. This doesn't only come through the brutal violence that surrounds the game, but it also shows itself in each characters's emotions and feelings towards one-another. The catch is that this only becomes apparent if you allow yourself to empathize and understand the characters without letting pre-conceived notions cloud your judgement. If you can look past the flaws of certain characters and understand them as people then you'll likely enjoy this game, otherwise it'll be nothing but misery.

    My only gripes with the story are more based in how it's presented rather than the content itself. The story will continuously use flashbacks, albeit in a chronological order, but in a way that still distracts from the story at times. But much bigger than that is the overall pacing, as it tends to make the game feel much longer than it is. The game itself took me 25 hours, and while this did include long stretches of looting and exploring, chapters often felt incredibly long and filled to the brim with story moments that almost made it hard to handle. Multiple objectives and important story events will happen within a day and the ending started to feel like it was farther and farther away when it was actually closer than ever.

    Overall, the story, the bulk of the game, is wonderful and bold for a video game. But it'll only be that way if you really try and see what the writers and actors wanted to convey instead of letting your own ideas cloud it all. My only other recommendation is to play the first one beforehand and to go in as blind as possible.    … Expand

    The first game is about:Selfishness, and how joel doesn't want to experience loss once more do that is why he "saves" Ellie.
    The Second game is about:Forgiveness, and how Ellie cannot forgive Joel for taking away the only thing she looked forward to, In the scene where Ellie tells Joel she´ll try to forgive Joel is parallel to her not killing Abby. Ellie isn't as sadistic as Abby so revenge at the end becomes futile, she isn't at Abby´s level , by letting her live she has moved on from Joel's passing.

    It's no secret how terrible Abby´s writing is, the game structure is all over the place, when we play as Abby we do not care or have motivation, I believe the Abby part needs waaaaaaaaay better writting and that the part we play as her is the part we play first so we wonder who this person is and them BAM! we´ve been playing as the villain all along.    … Expand

When playing as Abby it did get a bit slow but gave you a sense of her side. Joel's death was way too convenient. Abby just happened upon them. Was not feeling that I wish they made us work for it more. The ending I understood. Ellie could never forgive Joel for what she thought was a betrayal. Therefore she could not kill for him. Try as she might it brought her no closure. She risks everything to figure that out. The ending leaves me wanting more. Where do we go from here? I hope this isn't the end.

It was incredible. But it was not perfect. In fact, the flaws in the game were so glaring that it’s a testament to how great the game is that I still gave it an 8. I think it’s worth noting that I played the game through after successfully avoiding any spoilers or leaks that were abundant in the lead-up to the game’s release, so I played the game untainted from any and all controversy. (Tangentially, I believe it highly likely that the vast majority of the low scores were submitted by people before playing—much less finishing—the game.) In short, TLOUP2 is probably the best game I’ve played in several years. For a minute there I thought it might be the best game I’ve ever played, period. Alas.

    Easily the biggest flaw of TLOUP2 was that it kept going... and going... and going some more. Which problem was compounded by the fact that it also suffered from the same issue as the first game—repetition. By the end of the first game I was just so tired of going into a “new” (old) building and killing infected in (basically) the same ways, searching for the same stuff, etc. I felt like TLOUP2 tried to improve this by mixing in more fights against humans (WLF, Scars, Rattlers), which was a nice change of pace. But with the game playing as long as it did, it still resulted in the same issue. By the end of the game I was barely going through the motions of playing the game, just to see the story play out.

    Which brings me to what I thought was one of the strongest and also weakest parts of the game: the story. I am in the camp that thought the story was brilliant. It was masterfully created, told, and tied together. It was compelling. It was thought provoking. HOWEVER—as good as I thought the story was, it was just EXHAUSTING. In a good way at times... but HOLY GOD. By the end it was just too much. Making you play fetch with the dog that you know you already took pleasure in killing just a few hours ago was just cruel. (There were numerous examples of this.) The most egregious over-the-top-ism I think was essentially turning the audience against Ellie by the end. I got the point. I see what they were trying to do. But I’m just not sure it was necessary to that extent.

    Further to the point of the story being a tad over the top, I lost track of the number of times various social justice themes were driven home. Hammered home. THUNDERED home. I don’t want to be beaten over the head with a cause—even ones I support. Especially in a video game. And everyone got the transgender message here. We didn’t need a not-so-subtle-dialogue explaining it to us. Much less witness the boy’s religion, society, AND MOTHER try to kill him for it, all but forcing him to turn against everything he knows and loves—to include murdering his own mother. Again, just a bit unnecessary.

    Anyway, again—great game. Amazing game. So many really great moments. Graphics, game play, soundtrack, acting, dialogue... they really nailed it in a lot of ways. And even with some of the flaws prevalent throughout, I think the game would have gotten a 9 or even a 10 from me if the whole thing had ended with Ellie sitting on the tractor watching the sunset. Story was told, lessons were learned, characters are still (mostly) beloved. It was enough. It was more than enough. The rest was just superfluous.    … Expand

    Ellie completely lost her mental health and we see an Ellie with serious problems of post-traumatic stress and attacks of anger.
    Dina and Ellie's relationship is only there as filler for the story but it was really somethin0g unnecessary, I'm not homophobic but forced inclusion in an apocalypse is something "wtf?The only characters that were worth meeting in this installment were Lev and Yara. Nice detail in adding a very strict religious sect, in an apocalypse the church would still be powerful and manipulative. The gameplay is satisfying and makes your heart beat every time you die or survive the attack, nice detail in adding dogs and enemies like the Final boss. On this occasion Gustavo was also magnificent with his soundtrack. Love the game but it is not a masterpiece like the first . Thanks Naughty Dog. Sorry for my bad inglish.    … Expand

La storia è emozionante e ammetto che ho tanta voglia di finirlo quanta voglia di lasciarlo lì perché lo vorrei giocare all'infinito. Sarebbe stato un gioco da 10, probabilmente osservando solo i particolari tecnici lo è eccome, eppure non ho apprezzato in alcun modo la trama di Abby. La storia è bella ma penso che si poteva fare in un DLC a parte e lasciare il gioco con la sola vendetta di Ellie, rendendo così quest'ultima più lunga da affrontare. Mi sono affezionato molto al personaggio di Ellie che può risultare antipatica a molti ma è la persona più vera e bella che abbia mai visto in un videogioco. La naughty dog è riuscita a rendere reale un personaggio finto. Do il voto 8 perché come ho detto non ho sopportato l'obbligo di fare la storia di Abby, per il resto è un gioco perfetto.… Expand

    ok so i have played the game twice from start to finish now, and i like the game, and i hate the game, but i did not like Abby at all, she sounds stupid when you confronts her about killing Joel, when Joel killed her dad, he just killed him, he did not torture him for a long time or kill him in front of his daughter real or not, so yes of course we will hate Abby, that being said, i actually really liked the game, it is def a 8.5/10, there are elements i did not like about the story, killing the two named dogs was a big one, don't force me to kill a dog and then name them after, that is just cruel as **** and the Abby segment was way to long, i understand getting her backstory, and some of the leading up to the fight stuff, but there was too much of it, and i just wanted to get past it to play as Ellie again, also Tommy just turning into an **** in the end did not sit right with me, so yeah there is some stuff i did not like about the game, but the game was a beautiful one, and one i will remember for a long time to come, and if there will be a part 3 to The last of us, i will def buy and play it to the fullest too :D    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didnt think I would review this game initially because I have never felt the need to but I personally love this series and hate to see it be bashed so hard, I know people really disliked this game and thats fine, but I also wish I could change someones opinion on it at least a little just so they can maybe feel what I felt when looking at this game. I also want to point out that I have not actually played the game yet, though I have watched hours and hours of game play and story and re watched many parts again, I also watched all of the negative videos on this game and positive ones. I think you should take a look at this video whether or not your view on the game is mixed bad or good, I think hearing the people that made the game talk about it might give you some more insight to many things that I personally was very confused about though if you dont care or want to like this story then there is no need to watch (links not permitted)
    now im going to start talking about the actual game and not just all of the controversy surrounding it. First off its pretty obvious that this game has some of the best graphics you will see in a while, there are so many small details that you most likely wont even notice and it all joins together and makes the game come to life. Small things like taking out an enemy near water makes their blood dialate with the water making it more clear. The level design is amazing and there is a really nice atmosphere in the rainy city of Seattle. I could go on and on about the graphics but you get the point. The gameplay is really good as well, though the normal mode is pretty easy for some and I think is more for players that wish to experience the story of the game first. Lots of people get bored of this though so if you like more challenging gameplay that puts your skills to the test, you are probably going to love the harder difficulty as it really makes you think about your ammo consumption as you find much less and enemies are just smarter overall. The stealth in this game has some of my favorite stealth scenes I have ever seen, it feels amazing to be hiding in tall grass and sneak around enemies, and tensions are raised whenever you come across dogs as they can trace your cent, all though it is very cool it is also very easy to counter this as throwing any object near the animal will break its trail to you. Weapons feel amazing and the animations for upgrading them are also fun to watch and see what your character will add to the weapon. Sometimes you will enter an area that will make a weapon more beneficial than others, and when fighting zombies or people your weapon selection will most likely change. I was a little disappointed to see how easy the iconic clickers zombies were to take down. Having Ellies unbreakable knife is definitely a nice quality of life after the first game but ultimately just makes zombies not very hard to deal with or seem easy without needing to use nearly as many supplies, though shivs do make a return once you play as Abby which I kind of enjoyed. The game is very immersive especially when you are in those stealth sections, but the one time you will really find your immersion shatter is when your ally walks directly in front of an enemy and the enemy doesn't react, though small talk is much appreciated and made me chuckle a lot and sometimes (very rarely) made me overwhelmed in joy, it is also very nice to be alone for many parts of the game just for immersions sake alone, also making you feel more bad ass talking on so many people solo. The game has many sections made for stealth and given the shortage of ammo you will almost always have, it is best to be stealthy, although you do not have to stealth kill anyone and you could go guns blazing almost whenever you see an enemy group which is a nice choice to have but it is just more difficult.
    The main thing about this game that people cant stand is the story, and I can completely understand why, though personally this story is everything and more than what I had asked for. Not only that but it is one of a kind and doesn't take the normal route most stories take. The large group of people that have seen this story are mainly angry because of Joels death (not that he died but how and when) and the ending which supposedly doesnt make a lot of sense. Im going to back peddle a bit and say that this story is very demanding of you and your feelings and requires you to go into it thinking selflessly about everything and take it for what it is, which is very cool because I dont think I have seen many stories do that to the viewer. Im not going to talk about the story a lot because I am running out of characters so I recommend you watch the video I sent if you wish to try to see this story in a better light because no one is better than the makers of the story to show you. Now I need to say that this story is not perfect, there are many coincidences in the story sorryranout    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was f*cking LIVID over this game after I finished it, as most people are. Of course the graphics are f*cking amazing, but we all had a huge issue with the story and their deception in the trailers. SOME TREE TRUNK FIGURED B*TCH killed my man Joel and in that moment I was Ellie. I was full of anger and rage and all I saw was red for the entire rest of the game. Thinking that- making us play as this B*TCH was twisted and F*CKED up. I was stubborn. I didn't want to sympathize with Abby and I just wanted Ellie to get this show on the road and KILL her ass. I was like... f*ck naughty dog for thinking I'd want anything other than Ellie to get brutal ass revenge.

    After taking a step back from it, calming down, and reanalyzing I began to feel less angry. I thought about Abby's storyline and I started to sympathize. Ellie killed her friends and Abby spared her two f*cking times. TWICE. Abby broke my f*cking heart sometimes. I wanted Ellie to just part ways when she saw the boat...and I think she did too. She thought about Joel and instantly the anger comes back and in that moment I was Ellie. I wanted to beat that b*tch to a pulp. I believe they purposefully prolonged the fight, it went on so long and It didn't seem worth it anymore. That INSTANT GRATIFICATION wasn't worth it anymore. Man in that moment I was Ellie.. I let it go. She didn't kill her she let her go. Ellie ended the cycle and actually ended up saving Abby's life one could argue.

    I still have a hard time understanding why they lied about Joel surprising Ellie in the midst of the game when it was actually Jesse, so I'm docking a few points for that. Docked points as well because although it was necessary to view Abby's perspective...it did go on a bit long. Also... the repetitiveness of the actual gameplay was a drag.. felt like I was doing the same thing over and over, but that wasn't as big of a deal for me.

    NAUGHTY DOG I apologize. I was leaving comments, tweeting them, etc...and talking so much sh*t but man.... this f*cking game was a masterpiece once you realize the emotions you feel, good and bad, are exactly what they wanted you to feel. Actual geniuses.    … Expand

    For me LOU is defined by its dense atmosphere. It makes you feel and believe that you live and survive in this beautiful and yet completely f***ed up world. Again, ND does the trick with unique art design, sound design and graphics.
The fights are scary, brutal and really intense. I can only compare it with Resident Evil 7 played with my VR headset. You do not want to die in this game -For me LOU is defined by its dense atmosphere. It makes you feel and believe that you live and survive in this beautiful and yet completely f***ed up world. Again, ND does the trick with unique art design, sound design and graphics.
The fights are scary, brutal and really intense. I can only compare it with Resident Evil 7 played with my VR headset. You do not want to die in this game - really you don’t as the consequences are breaching the limits of pain. The survival-horror-action gameplay is well known, however improved enough to make it fresh and captivating. The enemies are sometimes really clever, and other times downright stupid, which can kick you out of the immersion. Not always could I agree with the decisions of the characters and they carried me from frustration to despair. ND made very brave choices and I want to say thank you to all dogs. As far as I am concerned I am still enjoying family life.
    However, the game is not perfect and the story cannot reach the quality of LOU1. The main weak points I felt are:
    1) You cannot alter the fate of characters or change the story in any way. That was also not possible in LOU1, but the main theme of hatred and absolution asks for it and the game would have profited a lot from a flexible storyline.
    2) There is a strong disconnect between the story and gameplay. Its an issue shared with many other games (like Uncharted, TombRaider...) The characters don't fit their very own actions during gameplay.
    This disconnect reaches a whole new level in LOU2 when story and gameplay collide. In a single phrase: the theme of hatred and absolution does not fit 35 hours of bloody urban warfare.

    Naughty dog didn't chose an easy path, to please the player, but never in a game before i loved to disagree with what I was doing with my character, but I was driven by a story, like Moby Dick somehow, and not with the feelings of the game giving fake choices.
    They succeed what Walking Dead series tried to (last seasons at least), making disturbed characters that you can relate to, empathize to, never characters animation felt so alive, with great acting. Even Seattle has a story, visually.
    If the game isn't about Joël that much, TLOU 1 was more about Ellie at the end of the day (remember that we skipped 20 years of Joël's life). And now we face collateral damages her life (saved) engendered, literally in the skin of protagonists, which might be disturbing, but also exciting.
    It definitively not deserve a **** note because you wanted a story you expected .
    Now about the gameplay, to make short, the violence makes it so reel, it almost hurt when you get shot, I found it more immersive than many FPS. I'd wish a better menu though, Days gone was more intuitive with weapons. But hey, i didn't give a 10 :)
    And visually, it's stunning.

I do believe it is a good game, but many things hold it back at times, Abby is not a character anyone wants to see in a game as she serves no purpose other than for story, it is very difficult to relate to her becuase the way she went about things didn't seem to be fair. The game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it didn't reach the same level of greatness as the first game.… Expand

    Don't let the naysayers fool you! The graphics are great. The combat is great. The story isn't as predictable as it was in the first one. People who rate this game a 4 or below are very stupid and probably haven't even played the thing. Those three things alone give the game a 5 or above at least. Granted 10 is too much as well. That said, yes Abby is awful and I don't understand why NeilDon't let the naysayers fool you! The graphics are great. The combat is great. The story isn't as predictable as it was in the first one.

That said, yes Abby is awful and I don't understand why Neil wants us to like her. Almost all of the attempts to make us like her fall flat on their face. People do need understand though that Joel did an awful thing so this plot point had to happen. I think ND could've handled it better, but for this to be truly a sequel it had to happen. At least try it out when it's on sale.… Expand

    If someone posts a 0/10 it’s obvious a fake review. There is more to this game than the story. I had issues with several points in the story but still overall it’s a great game. The gameplay is improved from the first game along with the crafting system.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay 9, si bien tiene muchos aspectos innovadores y muy bien logrados, considero que hizo falta un poco más de infectados en los enfrentamientos. No me gusto el movimiento de los personajes, les falta fluidez cuando tienes que girar, parece que van caminando de lado


    Gráficos 9, es un juego muy bonito visualmente, pero aún asi, creo que queda por debajo de un Red Dead Redemption 2, por ejemplo, y tiene un ligero popping a pesar de haberlo jugado en una PRO.


    Música 8, no está mal, pero tampoco percibí nada remarcable a excepción del cover que canta Ellie, considero mejor la música de la primera parte.


    Narrativa 6, considero que los giros argumentales son buenos, pero caen en la exageración al repetir constantemente temáticas de lo políticamente correcto, y para mí lo peor, su insistencia por querer meterte con calzador a cierto personaje para que empatices con su causa cuando has pasado toda la historia defendiendo y amando a otros personajes, y el hecho de tener que jugar con este nuevo personaje para golpear a nuestra querida Ellie fue devastador, estuve tentado a dejar hasta ahí el videojuego porque es algo que no quería hacer.    … Expand

Soy un fan del primer juego, y su historia se convirtió en un referente, y como fan no puedo negar que me duele lo que hicieron con esta historia y el personaje de Joel, que desarrollaron tanto en el primero y le quitaron el foco en esta parte, no lo merecía, perderlo a el fue como perder a un padre (mas por imagen que realidad), pero aun así hay que ser justos con el juego y juzgarlo como videojuego que es, y juzgándolo en este criterio solo puedo decir que es una obra maestra y una inspiración para futuros juegos del genero.… 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]
