    I don't even know where to start. After playing this I just feel extremely infuriated and just overall sad. This game just misses the mark. I've loved all of naughty dog's previous games but this was just terrible. The gameplay is fine, nothing special or revolutionary but perfectly serviceable. The music is good. The graphics are great. The story however is awful. It slogs in places, andI don't even know where to start. After playing this I just feel extremely infuriated and just overall sad. This game just misses the mark.

The story however is awful. It slogs in places, and is boring in others. The biggest issue though is the many odd plot points put in. I feel that it disrespects the characters we all know and love. It seems like it's filled with shock value, and the story was written just to "subvert expectations". There is no need for the type of violence in the game (it seems like a snuff film or something, the violence adds nothing). The characterization of characters was off. Some characters are just unlikeable in this game. The ending was horrible. This game was extremely unsatisfying and after waiting 7 years for this, I do not say that lightly. Save your money and pick this up used in the future, it is not worth it right now. Overall, this game probably should not have been made.… Expand

    Good gameplay and graphics but the K.I. was ****
    Had the absolute worst story I saw in ages.
    Even sharknado has better plot.
    Joel was like father to me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi there. Here are a few of my thoughts about The last of us 2. It's ok to not like a game. I love it, but that's just me. What is not ok, is to collectively review bomb something by calling it trash, when it is one of the best looking games to come out on ps4. This game is a work of art. It is beautiful and engaging. It is deeply polarizing, which is why the fanbase is so divided about it. Again, that's fine. The story is dark, bleak and deeply upsetting. It's a revenge tale. To have a revenge video game, we as the player, need something powerful enough to drive us to want to seek that vengeance. Thus, we come to the death of Joel, one of gaming's most beloved characters. People don't like that. I get it. Hell I don't like it. But it is a damn good way to motivate me to go an a murder rampage halfway across the country to bring his killers to task. Also to show the cycle of vengeance, they have to show us what led Abby to do the dastardly deed, and I am glad that we were put in her shoes to do that. I feel that we are not supposed to sympathize with her, but empathize. To see the path that made her a monster, and to draw parallels between her, and Joel from the first game. Let us remember after Joel lost his daughter, Joel became a murderous piece of **** too. He would cut thru any number of people to accomplish whatever he was doing at the time. This game is about Ellie going down that same path, but instead of finishing her task and killing her rival, she lets go and finds her humanity. Abby does the same. The game ends without a conclusion. The protagonist and antagonist are still alive. This is made this way to make us feel as empty inside, as Ellie does, now that she is alone with everyone she knew and loved either dead or gone. The message is a powerful one, whether or not you enjoy it. It definitely didn't make me feel good. The biggest reason I even did this review is because I saw the toxic gaming community condemning this game simply because they didn't like the story. That doesn't make it an objectively bad game, just one you might not like. Hands down this is one of the prettiest games I've ever played, and the combat is engaging and visceral. The constant collecting of junk got old at times, but whatever. That's not game breaking. I would honestly rate this an 8, but I'm rating it 10 to compensate for the undeserved user scores it's been getting. Also if your complaint about this game is that it includes a couple LGBTQ characters in it, **** you, bigot. You're a piece of **** and you may not know it, but everyone else does.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a mixed bag of good and bad.

    Naughty Dog absolutely nail the atmosphere, environments and the infected are as terrifying as ever with some interesting new ones thrown into the mix.

    Yes they kill Joel, this was expected! The underhanded way of doing it though really ruins the type of character he was in the first game and they do nothing in the story to really conclude that Joel or tommy would be stupid enough to reveal their names, This left a sour taste in my mouth for much of the remainder of my playthrough as i felt the writing was incredibly lack luster if this was how they chose to off him.

    What followed is a pursuit to kill Abby and cohorts through a gorgeous world with generation defining graphics and some fun gamplay... at first. Whilst the envirnoments and graphics were always great the gameplay became rather boring fast. Something i never noticed in the first one, this mainly falls down to the reduced character building between the ellie and Dina, as compared to Ellie and joel in the first one and this leads to some awfully boring solo sections that do not do well as they are just too long.

    They try to portray the violence as something ellie is having a hard time coming to grips with when you meat one of the friends of abby and smash her face in... however youd already slit at least 200 throats by this point.. so the message just doesnt work.

    Abby was interesting and i did prefer her section but the game forces you to restart the upgrade the mechanic and they do this at a time when the story feels like its at a climax really ruining the momentum of the plot.

    The ending... just awful and dragged out 4 hours too long.

    The story just have some amazing sections, the relationship between Dina and Ellie, the relationship between Abbie and Lev, Abby and Owen are all well told but they just dont linger and these moments long enough.

    As for gamplay sections there were so many that were just top of their class, the section in the subway, the sniper run, the boat run, the island and too many small ones to name, but they are just overshadowed by long drawn out pieces of boredome, usually alone with no back and forth between the characters.

    The game is not bad, by a long shot, but for me the story and gamplay are just not enough to be a great game just a decent one. Id give it a 7.5 out of 10 but it has to be 7 o r8 and i cant justify an 8.    … Expand

    Story put together in the worst imaginable way which breaks narrative and makes you forget about some characters which have not been even properly introduced. I can only give 5 for graphics and for gameplay which I loved in the first game.
    I want to just erase that terrible story from my brain to make only first game be associated when I remember last of us ever again.

    Let me say I am so disappointed with the negative reviews .. I believe this game is a masterpiece.
    The lighting is the best I've seen on a console game. physics is brilliant. The gameplay is the best I've played in this genre. The story is different but good. you haven't gotten this game, get it NOW you are missing out. the only reason I give it a 9/10 is because there's no multiplayer for now.

    This is the only review I’ve done for just about anything. Disappointing to say the least. I give a 2/10 just to commend the graphics and gameplay. It’s truly so bad that I regret even having played the original. Maybe I can understand why some may enjoy it, but I can’t support the game. This is just my opinion and I actually hope some can enjoy the game.

Just watching your surroundings for 10 minutes what i would never do in a different game. The story tho was something i did not expect i don't not see the leaks or so only the trailers so i was really hurt when i Joel died i really wanted to get the old feeling back playing with Joel and Ellie but yes that was not gonna happen. Ik liked the way how they tried to give 2 perspectifes, but even tho they tried so hard i did not feel anything for Abby but i liked the story and gameplay with here just being a god damn beast going trough all the enemy's. The ending was a bit rushed in my opinion the scene in the farmhouse could be a better ending when Tommy says that Ellie has promised it, but she kept saying no, it could lead up to a next game. I would really want to see a part 3 i love the world of the Last Of Us.I love Ellie i hope there is more to tell about here and where she's going to end up!… Expand

    This was phenomenal storytelling for me. Yes, I hated that Joel was killed. But, this story ends up being about so much more. It’s about found family, tragedy, and revenge—and how far characters are willing to go. It’s about understanding two sides of the same coin. It has dark moments, and some of the most beautiful and touching moments. If you’re on the fence about the game, I highly recommend it if you love storytelling. This game deserves so much more than the flak it’s currently getting. Look to the critics for actual insight, and not to the hate campaign on this site.

People change, people falter and that's the idea that I feel the game uses to afflict us, that's the magic of the story. The events and characters develop in a very fluid way, without too much force, you may even see acts like in the game near to you.

The Last of Us Part II follows up an a masterpiece that emotionally wears you down and makes you fall in love with its characters Joel and Ellie. If you have experienced life and know what loss is, than The Last of Us Part II will emotionally wears you down in a completely different way. It was designed clearly to.invoke a whole other feeling and it blew me away. It is a it blurs the lines of good evil that we often believe are set in stone, and results in a feel good fairytale for the ones we didn't want to feel good for, and it is a tragedy for the ones we know and love dearly. In the end, Ellie's biggest fear in life that she mentioned in the first installment, becomes her reality after choosing hate over love. This should serve as a cautionary tale of staying true to yourself and how careful we need to be about picking up the sins of our father figures.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a terrible sequel. It is riddled with plot holes, most notably in one of the biggest moments of the game, Joel's death. If you are going to kill Joel off in such a controversial fashion, the very least you can do is explain it well. it is lazy. The game is also structured awfully, they waste about 6 or 7 hours on flashbacks for Abby, clearly trying to flesh out characters like Owen, Mel, Manny, etc, but it doesn't do anything because they were killed hours ago, nobody cares about them anymore and the death doesn't have anywhere near the impact it could have had. It doesn't do anything for Abby either, because she has already killed Joel and fans have made up their minds about her. It doesn't help that these flashbacks are repetitive and boring. Also, so many of these characters that are killed are never mentioned again after their deaths, how are we supposed to care about them if the writers and the other characters don't care about them?

    Abby, the character they make us play as for half the game, is a horrible person. She brutally and mercilessly kills Joel despite the fact he just saved her life, there's no inner conflict, she is so one-dimensional. She takes pleasure at the prospect of killing Dina, who she knows is pregnant. She sleeps with Owen knowing his wife is due a baby soon. And this is the character they make us play as? This is the character they make us fight Ellie as? Who made that horrible decision? Who wants to play as a character you despise, where is the motivation to keep playing? Despite that, they still try to make Ellie out to be the bad guy. Abby pets dogs and is kind to them, compared to Ellie who is forced to kill dogs and you can clearly hear them in pain, Ellie kills a pregnant woman, Ellie murders people whilst they loved ones mourn and cry. Compared to Abby, who has to defend herself against evil transphobic jungle people, Abby, who saves kids. it is so cheap and manipulative. Speaking of cheap and manipulative, the false advertising in the trailers is so scummy.

    The game tells this generic story of revenge and how bad it is. It has been done so many times before and been done far better. Revenge only seems bad when it comes to Ellie though, Abby seems to have no problem taking revenge, because she is one-dimensional and badly written She is the person who takes revenge, but she is also the one who walks away with a loved one. Makes no sense. Many of the major plot points are also badly written, and don't make sense.

    Ellie is just straight up cruel to Joel. She used to understand people, she understood emotions, she understood Joel. So why does she not realise why Joel saved her? She knows how much Sarah meant to Joel, Joel does not want to go through that again, he doesn’t want to lose another daughter. All those years of protecting Ellie, thrown out of the window because Joel didn’t want to lose her. Because Joel gave her a choice of life or death, and Ellie doesn’t like that. The writers don’t seem to understand the first game at all, they don’t understand what made it compelling.

    The gameplay is fine, although they don't significantly change anything from the first game, the visuals are great, but that is not what I play TLOU for, I play it for the story, and the story could not have been worse. This sequel should never have been made. What a disappointment.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would just talk about the story because the sight speaks for itself. The game is amazing because of the transfer of emotions. That’s exactly why there are plenty of negative comments. You need a certain emotional intelligence to understand. As we accompany Ellie's crash throughout her revenge. From murder to murder. The masterfully cut back memories. From half the game, we also understand and feel why Abby did what she did and we follow along as she loses everything for a revenge. It was also a good move that Lev would have a 'conscience.' As their acquaintance changed Abby. When he finally leaves Ellie alive and comes to live with Dina. there as he cannot let go of this situation from his thought and torments him. Finally, when they both get to the end, they lose everything that is important to them because of revenge. We got a great structure and finally got a game of giving and teaching something. That’s why it doesn’t come in for people with low emotional intelligence. Because they don't understand what he was talking about. They just went and fired. All esters GREAT WORK NAUGHTY DOG.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I've finally finished the game. It has excellent graphics and great audio design. However, the story is not as good as the first one. As a huge fan of the original game, this one didn't quite resonate with me. I feel like the writer's attempt to make the player sympathize with Abby doesn't really work well. When I played as Abby, I could never shake off the fact that she killed one of the most beloved characters. The fact is she's a new character and the way she's introduced makes me want to hate her and nothing else. I know what she did was justified and you learn the reason and motivation for her action when you play from her perspective. We played mostly as Joel in the first game and by the time we reach the end, we bonded with the character. And when he suddenly gets killed, regardless of whether it's justified or not, you can't help but hate the killer. This is the only gripe I have for the game. Other than that, I really liked the gameplay, audio design, music and combat. This is not the best game I've ever played but it definitely doesn't deserve a 0/10.… Expand

Yeah, that we have to play the half of the game with a character everybody hates isn't cool, but in the end there are more positive points then negatives. When you are a fan of Part 1, try the second one. The only very very bad thing about the game is, that Naughty Dog killed Joel after we saw him just 10 minutes. Just try the game and form your own opinion. Last but not least I have to say that the look and sound of the game are breathtaking. It has one of the best graphics that I've ever seen, and the gameplay is lots of fun.… Expand

I'm all for revenge but its just been done a million times and weak. the main problem with this game though is that so many reviewers have given it 10 out of 10. there is no way even if you are fan of this style of game and this series that this is a ten its a 8 at most mostly for the fact that the game play is so stale, exploration is like a 10 year old game with invisible walls of grass or vines everywhere, you can even jump on cars or anything they haven't scripted which is just lazy game world making for a exploration game there is very little to explore as its all just open air wall corridors on one level. Its like a game from the early 2000's. So how can you give it a 10 that is just poor journalism. another Massive problem with the game is that the level design is so linear and basic its just not acceptable for even a indie game let alone something with this budget in 2020. In the age of Dark souls, Bloodbourne, Tomb Raider and Jedi Fallen order we have a game which sends you down tiny little paths with invisible walls of vines, come ON! and they are giving it a 10/10. I don't understand those reviews, they must be scared if reviewing it poorly other wise they might think people would think they are anti LGBT, and the whole gay thing is way overplayed on this they make such big deal about it, instead of treating it with respect and just being normal about it instead they hinge whole story arcs on it.

    To understand the disappointment the gaming community had with the release of this game it would be essential to understand the timeframe for the developers to craft this product: 7 years. For comparison, arguably one of the best games of all time Witcher 3 was developed in under 3.5 years with a budget of 81 mil.$. TLOU 2 had almost triple the time and about 100mil.$ to work with.To understand the disappointment the gaming community had with the release of this game it would be essential to understand the timeframe for the developers to craft this product: 7 years. For comparison, arguably one of the best games of all time Witcher 3 was developed in under 3.5 years with a budget of 81 mil.$. TLOU 2 had almost triple the time and about 100mil.$ to work with. Rightfully we had expected it to be, if not better, the same level of quality as TLOU but the reviews, the public outrage and overall criticism towards this game and the gaming studio isnt only justified but is rightfully needed.
    Im sure everyone had said everything what needs to be told about the story and the main characters themselves; thus I want to focus on something everyone tends to ignore: the gameplay. It has some minor improvements but the overall parts remained unchanged thus bringing nothing to the table of the gaming industry. Few people stated this game deserves less criticism because people who worked on the gameplay part of the game did an excellent job which somehow benefits the game whose primary goal is to tell a compelling engaging and entertaining story? The reason why TLOU is so beloved is because the story which is being told was a masterpiece, thus making the game as a whole stand out, and the gameplay only contributed to the story but didnt affect it! Thus claims that because of gameplay this game is better are merely ridiculous and laughable.
    I was shocked to see how people gave this game a 10 out of 10 scores without even acknowledging or straight-up ignoring the problems the game has some stating that "ignore the thousands of 1-star reviews here as they were posted by trolls". Well I would like to pose a question to people like this: Why pay 60$ for the game where the LGBTQ tendencies are seen as character traits, the story is poorly written and the gameplay is almost the same as the first one? I have bought the game and I can tell you that the gameplay, the story, the atmosphere, almost everything is worse compare to the first game. The primary problem with this game is that it thinks that more violence would mean a better atmosphere but when the game solely focuses on that ignoring and forgetting other aspects it doesnt do itself any good. If I had to summarize this game in one sentence I would restate what the former co-director of the first TLOU Bruce Straley had said: TLOU didnt need a sequel and probably wouldnt get one, and unfortunately I hoped it wouldve stayed this way because as the saying goes you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain and sadly that was the fate for TLOU 2.
    In the end I want to sum up the core reasons why this "game" had failed in terms of subverting expectations: First, the game which is primarily known for its great storytelling ultimately failed to do so for various reasons including for various plotholes lack of compelling characters removal of the primary characters making the secondary thus making them contribute even less to the main story etc. (cant give any specific examples because I dont want to spoil this game for those who decide to watch it on youtube). Second, the gameplay part had hardly moved from its predecessor including only a few new mechanics which contribute little to the gameplay part of this game. Third, the atmosphere of the game is extraordinarily unappealing and compare to the first game where the atmosphere was tough as nails this "game" doesnt reach even close to what the first game had achieved. Fourth, the characters are unappealing the character arcs (except for Ellie) are extremely poor and were primarily based on the "shock" aspect of the game: violence, which alone wasnt able to achieve anything other than disturb the viewers and grow hatred towards almost every main/side character in the game. Fifth, the inappropriately failed attempt to show how "woke" the game developers were made the game even more horrible (simply because there is no need for that yet in order to please the modern LGBT society they decided to do so. Yet they didnt only add and enforced this idea throughout their game; they had consciously replaced the themes and values the first game had set and engraved in the minds of the fans and now these game developers rightfully will face the consequences of their own actions). In the end when the game is "a story-driven single-player game you usually know youre gonna have one shot at making your mark" and thus when the story isnt bad but straight-up utter garbage I cant see why or how anyone would want to buy and play through the entire game even when the gameplay is "OK" Yet if anyone liked this game I will be truly happy for them as after finishing this game on my own and then replaying the first game in the franchise I cant bring myself to call this game a canonical sequel, In the end, whats the point of a fancy present box, when inside of it youll find nothing but pile of ****    … Expand

    I always thought there shouldn't be a sequel. This one lacks respect for the first TLoU as it's far worse than I imagined. My main gripe is with the story, the attempt to try out a sympathy project at the expense of a beloved character, setting off a pointless revenge plot with a bleak theme and tone for the game was uncalled for and unnecessary.

The flashbacks were worth the purchase but they angered me more as to what had happened. It also proved to me that TLoU is nothing without the father daughter dynamic that Joel and Ellie shared. As for the sympathy project, I see how they tried to reflect the first TLoU through Abby's story but it felt cheap and the revenge plot was triggered by such forced and lazy writing that I was literally left shocked and in disbelief. Ellie's story in the sequel was hollow like her character with one hundredth of the charm of her prequel self. Abby's story was better and I would've enjoyed it had this been another game. Humans are tribal beings and cannot be expected to feel the same way for every group. The ending was pathetic for not allowing options since a second play through could've made me choose differently even though I doubt it. This sympathy project bites off more than it can chew.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Respondendo a pergunta "Como esse jogo deveria ter sido roterizado?", aqui vai a minha resposta:
    De qualquer outra forma, menos esta. Os personagens amados do primeiro game perderam suas características e tentaram tornar humana uma personagem que não mostra remorso, obrigando o jogador a controlar a Abby por horas. Abby não se mostra abalada, não tem sentimentos, não fica triste que as coisas tenham que ter sido resolvidas daquela forma (ela inclusive mata seus próprios amigos), já Joel e Ellie, por mais que façam coisas erradas no decorrer da história, ambos sentem o peso das suas ações. O que aconteceu com a Abby foi triste, assim como o que aconteceu com o Joel e com o que aconteceu com a Ellie. Essa relativização do que é certo e errado é tudo o que o game quis. Ele veio com a intenção de ser polêmico em todos os aspectos e eu pelo menos, não queria ver uma saga tão divertida alicerçada em cima de polêmicas. TLOU não precisava disso. ATENÇÃO AGORA PARA ESSE PONTO:
    "Vamos fazer um game que você controla uma homossexual maconheira. A namorada dela é judia e tá grávida, cogitando não ficar com a criança. Mas vamos fazer o jogador controlar também a personagem que matou o pai dessa garota, que é super musculosa e mostrando subliminarmente que mulheres não precisam de homens para nada."

    No ponto acima, não existe nada de errado. Tudo é aceitável e é uma escolha de cada um: sexualidade, drogas, religião, aborto, independência feminina, tudo isso são escolhas de cada um e cada um deve ser feliz como bem entender.
    Agora....

I played TLOU (part 1) about 12 months ago, and it did a damn great job at showing me how invested a game can get you in it's story and characters; But nothing could have prepared me for Part II. Naughty Dog clearly knew that this franchise has a strong emotional grip on it's players, and they utilised that to present something so damn refreshing, unique and emotional. I have never experienced such a gripping, emotional journey in a videogame. You can enter this game and let one event ruin your entire experience (an event I personally believed to be totally in line with the tone of the series), or instead, you can accept the direction, and let it take you on this challenging journey. The ups and downs felt so genuine – the writing never feels contrived, and the characters just feel real.

    Sure, it has it's issues as well, which for me sit mostly with occasional gameplay and A.I. hiccups. For example, support character A.I. sometimes gets in the way, or becomes a pain to navigate with. This is something you never dealt with in God of War, for example. Occasionally the character you're playing can feel rigid in its motions, especially when transitioning between different walking surfaces. The same can be said for engaging with the interact prompt when picking things up etc... sometimes you find yourself shuffling around for a few seconds until the damn Triangle button prompt lets you activate it. Also, the interaction with your weapons/crafting menu's can be a bit too step-by-step driven – an example might be when selecting a weapon, and then selecting to reload quickly after – you have to wait for your character's weapon accessing animation to completely finish before you can instruct to reload; It would have been nice to have some more fluidity in this process, and allow speedier instructions, or at least instructions that are tacked on in that instance to play after the character finishes the animation. In the grand scheme of it, though, these things are very quickly overlooked, but do drop the gameplay score a bit as it pulls you out of the game.

    One thing I would like to give an extra mention to, is the audio design. I played this with Extreme Dynamic Range enabled, under Studio Reference. This was on a 2.1 KEF system. This was nothing short of exceptional. The gunshots were jarring, the whistles of the Seraphites in the distance were clear and incredibly well placed, the ambience of the cut-scenes pulled you in. The game has a dark, disorienting bass-driven tone in the darkest scenes of the game, which feels incredible. Each kill felt horrific and impactful, and each major cutscene had such a strong soundstage and tonal mood, that I was genuinely impressed.

    I never review games – honestly, I generally just don't really care. I play a game, I finish it, it was good, sure, it was bad, whatever. This game deserves a genuine review, though. I can't believe how anyone can play this from start to finish and not feel that the emotional cues were expertly placed. I'm a 30 year old dude and it even had me tearing up at the end... i'm so damn impressed. The story didn't go how you wanted it to, and for that I am incredibly glad, because I want to be taken on a unique path.

    For me, this is a solid 9.5/10, which I'm rounding to 10 for Metacritic.
    Visuals: 10
    Gameplay: 9
    Story: 10
    Audio: 10

    I hope Naughty Dog continues to push the boundaries of story driven gameplay. I cannot wait to see what's next.    … Expand

    it's hard to digest everything that happens in this game, but when you stop to think about the roller coaster of emotions it cause to you, you realize how amazing it is

    The game is monotonous and boring I do not recommend it to anyone because it is a waste of money when someone buys this game it is best to throw it into a trash can and spit it the game is also an LGGT propanganda and this is mainly the plot..

    1 bên giết người để bảo vệ người thân, và đồng cảm với người con gái đã mất. Một bên giết người trả thù trước sự cầu xin của người thân của họ. 2 hành động này không bao giờ đc cho là giống nhau, nhưng nhà làm game đã cố tình bao biện để nó giống nhau. không thể cảm tình nổi.

    Total POS compared to its predecessor. I don't care about sexual orientation of characters, I care about good and consistent story, about the experience. Although visually near perfect, story - wise, it's not worth to play even if you get it for free.

    This game is a masterpiece and a work of art. The graphics are Beyond anything I’ve seen on the PlayStation 4. The game play is improved But can feel a bit Repetitive at times especially in the QuickTime events. The story they went with although controversial to me pays off in the end the game is certainly dark and at times hard to play in the sense that it is an emotional roller coaster.This game is a masterpiece and a work of art.

The story they went with although controversial to me pays off in the end the game is certainly dark and at times hard to play in the sense that it is an emotional roller coaster. I think the hate that revolves around this game is purely to be controversial. The story is a nine out of 10 the gameplay is an eight out of 10 and the graphics are a 10 out of 10. Do yourself a favor and ignore the haters and give this game a shot with open eyes I don’t think you’ll regret it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can, partly, Unserstand the rage coming from the Community. This Game does not do what the Fans wanted. Everyone was hoping for a new adventure of Joel and Elly. They could have made an Part 2, just Like the First one, everyone is happy. But this is not was everybody wanted. This is not the typical Mainstream sequel. U really need to be Openminded about this Game, U need to get involved with it.
    In the middle of the game, i really wanted to Stop to play at a certain Point. I used to hate the decision they made. But i paused for a day. Let everything sink in. And kept playing.
    And they did a great job, giving a feeling about what consequences it Made for them. When U Walk Into the Aquarium at the end of the Seconds third and see what happend, U really feel Bad for her too. This is a Story about revenge, but more likely about forgiveness like the Sequence with Joel at the end pointed out.
    BUT. U need to let any expectations U had go. U need to Play this without Anger about what happened. A Bit, yea she did horrible things, but in the end she lost more than Ellie. U need to hate her to feel the Game, but U need to forgive her and Play her Plot Like its Ellies.

    And that is what the Game does great for me. U Play that hatred character but U kinda going to understand. The Story would worked Others way around too. For me, this is an emotional rollercoaster, i often didnt knew what the **** to think over what happend. And in the end, If u cant let your hatred go, you loose way more than u already had.

    Technically flawless. This Game is the Jewel of this console Generation. Perfect graphics, great Atmosphere to deliver the right Mood.
    And No damn loading Screens except for the initial Game loading or the super short one when U die. Can someone please appreciate.

    At the beginning of the Seconds third, i would give a 4/10. But they Made Something great. So 9/10.

    And all those narrow minded people giving a 1/10 dont understand what naughty dog wanted to do. Instead of crying about what happened, look forward to whats coming.    … Expand

    It is an absolutely bizzare game. Considering the end, the entire game is pointless. Horrible story and characters. To me itis an absolutely bad game.

    I give 1 point because the game screen operation is really great
    But the plot basically ruined the game , Screenwriters must be responsible
    3A grade works are so ruined by naughty dogs

    I love it, Despite the fan hate. Without all that, it tells a good but dark story.
    I think you just have to be mature enough to understand the game.

    This might be the first time I actually write a review, but I think what happened deserves one. This game was not made for the players - it was made for vaguely unidentified group of people which certainly are not the fans of the 1st part. Disgusting.

    I trusted you and this is what I get after 7 years? you **** me good, terrible story, terrible narrative, terrible pacing, unlikable characters( you killed off or "assassinated" the good ones anyway), game becomes a chore and a bore halfway through, bravo!

    The writing is very bad and amateur, the dialogue made me physically cringe many times, when characters speak in a manner that people don't in real life, all "relationship/ friend" characters seem to have the same exact way of interacting with each other, people make out of character decisions or say out of character things in order to service the "new" story, which retcons a lot of things from the 1st game in order to push a new narrative, tries to "assasinate" the old characters while putting the new one on a pedestal, it is done badly and feels very artificial, essentialy trying to emotionaly trick the player/viewer to sell the new narrative.

    And in the end it even manages to fail to accomplish its own narrative, because it gives the exact opposite message while at the same time it also makes everything that happened throughout the 20+ hours of gameplay pointless, I find that astounding. 1 point for running when you put the disc in.    … 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]
