    Beautiful game with an impactful story about the cost of revenge. Clearly so many of these 0 reviews miss the true moral of the story, which is that revenge is toxic and if you succumb to the desire then you will lose who you are. Brilliant and powerful ending.

Crazy gameplay switching almost seamlessly between super complex animations no other game has tried to do in this much detail, which makes everything feel like a real solid "punch" when you execute enemies or dive around. Grabbing objects up as you run by and immediately tossing them at enemies in 1 motion is wicked cool. The limited resources for ammo is trickled in almost perfect amounts in my experiences. I'd always say "wow I think I have a lot of ammo" and then nope, never enough unless I had some extreme precision. Enemy AI is dastardly too.

    Story pacing and narrative issues are present, but opposite of the review bombing, I'm going to have to ignore it. Would've said like an 8 or 9, but this is a 10 out of spite.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really appreciate that Naughty Dog did not just go the safe way and make a game that will please all the fans. I understand that this alienated many but the result is a piece of software that will stay very unique for a long time. Even if I was shocked by many of the events in the story and did not like all of them, I have to give a lot of credits to the developer for making me feel that way. It's a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end credits roll.

    Gameplay and audiovisual design is of course stellar. The game feels very polished and offers a fair amount of challenge.

    I understand that not everyone is happy with how the game ended but at the same time, I think is unfair to rate it so low just because you did not like it.    … Expand

    For me it's a cautionary tale that our mistakes can come back to haunt us; that no matter how much we correct our ways, some will focus on that terrible mistake, so be ready for the consequences.

    And at the risk of sounding preachy, that instead of letting our future selves be defined by our mistakes we should strive to be better regardless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who absolutely loved the first game, I was extremely worried when seeing the overwhelmingly negative reactions to the leaks. Thankfully, having played through the full game I can say the game is absolutely amazing and on par with the first. Although Joel dies early, the game does a wonderful job to draw the player back in and empathise with Ellie and the other new protagonist, despite having competing motivations. The narrative payoff is completely worth it at the end of the game and the final chapters really carried emotional weight - not something I’ve experienced in a video game to this extent.
    In terms of gameplay, this was a great evolution of the mechanics created in the first game with crafting, stealth and gunplay all being expanded while still maintaining the tense, fight for survival feeling present in the first game. I’d definitely recommend playing the game on the higher difficulties (hard or survivor) as the limited resources do a lot to add to the tension and force players to think about when to engage and what to craft to handle the situations you’re put in over the course of the 25-30 hours it takes to complete.

    Overall, an absolute masterpiece. I think much of the negativity around this game comes from the fact that most stories told in blockbuster movies and video games are feel good stories. Most of these stories don’t place emphasis on complexities and contradictions inherent in people - something which this game does so effectively.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely fantastic continuation of the series. It’s a sad sight to see all the fake user review scores from people who clearly haven’t even played the game themselves.

    This builds on everything that made the first game great in almost every way. Every gameplay mechanic has been enhanced, with some great additions to the core gameplay mechanics, with more options for stealth, weapon upgrades, new craftables etc.

    During the 2nd part of the game my mind had 100% hatred for Abby, I kept telling myself there was no way I could ever like her, well I was wrong, as by the end, her character just made sense, the reasons and motivations for doing what she did, and her chance to redeem herself was very well played out. END SPOILERS - At the end scene it could have gone either way, but I was actually somewhat happy it ended the way it did. Going the other direction would have just sparked another revenge story. I think they made the right call with the ending decision.    … Expand

I played this game very slowly, soaking in all the environmental details, exploring every nook and cranny, appreciating the amazing artistic talent that went behind crafting such an immersive world.

    Narrative wise, I avoided all spoilers coming in, had an open mind and thoroughly loved the story. Most games have protagonists and antagonists that feel detached, villains that are always in the background who want to take over the world etc. Whose motives don't quite inspire or make me empathize. However, in TLOU2, it's very nuanced, layered and deep. Never have I experienced a story told this way. I felt connected to every character and the story beats hit me hard emotionally.

    If you want a deep narrative experience coupled with powerhouse graphics and intense stealth-action gameplay with survival mehanics, this is it. Please I beg you ignore the hate surrounding this game. I've been reading forums and reviews and videos to understand where the hate is coming from but I, in my honest opinion, feel it is very unwarranted. Play it, it's worth it!    … Expand

    Игровой процесс со времён прошлой игры серии не претерпел сильных изменений, хоть и был сильно улучшен. Хотелось бы отметить группу одаренных людей, которые поставили нули в день выхода игры просто потому, что в игре присутствуют представители LGBTQ+-сообщества. А также тех, кто угрожал актрисе, которая исполнила роль Эбби. Становится стыдно за этих людей, за их слова и действия. Не к такому современное цивилизованное общество должно стремиться.

    Summary: - The plot is thought-provoking. Yes, there are more questionable story twists than we had in the first part. Yes, some of the characters are controversial. Nevertheless, it's    One of the best games of all time. Another extraordinary job by Naughty dog. Without any doubt. Don't listen to all these trendy hate reviews.

    Summary:
    - The plot is thought-provoking. Yes, there are more questionable story twists than we had in the first part. Yes, some of the characters are controversial. Nevertheless, it's one of the most mature stories for the game industry.
    - Visual graphics are stunning—the excellent final for the PS4 generation.
    - My applause to all the actors. All characters look and sound like real people. And yes, to all the haters of the exact actress. Grow up. Her role is the best in this story.
    - Music. Like in the first part. No other words needed.
    - Gameplay. Still interesting to explore and fight. Developers took some of their tricks from other games, like rope and grass gameplay from Uncharted 4, but it's great. These new (old) features freshened up the gameplay.
    - The team did an insane work with small details like face animation, physics, objects destruction, etc. You need to see it with your own eyes.

    To sum up. Even if you find some characters, their decisions, or plot twists controversial; you still will be satisfied with this game. It's definitely not a zero/1/2 points like whiners say. If you love single players games, don't make them ruin your day. I wish everyone play the second part and enjoy the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's amazing how divisive this game is... I was floored by it. It consider it not simply the best narrative in gaming, but one of the best narratives in ANY medium. And while playing I kept waiting for whatever happens that caused so much controversy and hate. At first, I thought it was Joel dying - but that didn't make sense to me. Game of Thrones (before the last seasons) killed off tons of beloved characters and people still almost universally loved it. Was it that fact that Ellie is gay? That couldn't be it. We knew that from the trailers and the DLC for the first game. Maybe some didn't realize it, but there certainly can't be enough people angry at a character being gay to justify so many negative reviews. Then Lev came about, and I thought maybe it's that - but how could, what quite possibly be my favorite character be hated by so many unless it's bigotry. But I need to believe there's not enough bigots to account for so much dislike of the game. No that couldn't be it. So I kept playing, figured the problem would reveal itself later - but all the way until credits rolled the story just kept impressing me more and more. I do not understand how so many people dislike it. It's puzzling.

    I've read several negative reviews, and I just can't seem to see the other side of things. I assume it's the same for them, they probably think I'm blind or crazy for liking it so much (or assume I'm lying for some reason). It's baffling how divisive this story can be. It feels like it's literally a coin toss and you either hate the story or love it. I guess I consider myself lucky I fell on the love it side.

    But everyone can agree that graphics, gameplay and other aspects of production are amazing. The only warning I'll give to people wanting to play it - it is a very linear game. No choices affecting the story, the level design is well done but it is point A to point B. Which is exactly how the first game was, so if you liked the first game, you'll like this game - as far as gameplay goes. As for the story, I guess you'll need to flip the coin.    … Expand

    The game is a masterpiece of storytelling, and is MUCH deeper than Part I... foiling violent hatred against deep empathy with incredible effect through reciprocal gameplay elements. Ellie's emerging sexuality, and recurring strong female leads (both literally and figuratively), play center stage in this game, which is generally refreshing (and not licentiously overdone).

    The results are an absolutely magnificent work of storytelling and gameplay... equally thrilling and heartwrenching to play and watch.

    Unfortunately, this game has received an unfair and emotionally charged low score by many disheartened prior players (of TLOU Part I) who felt cheated by Naughty Dog's necessary maturation of the main character, (Ellie). While the Ellie of TLOU Part I was a bright and brave young teenager, full of quips and quick comments, the Ellie of Part II is now a competent and dangerous adult, who has matured while enduring years of emotional damage in a savage world... each leaving her with its own unique scar (physical and/or mental). Fans of LTOU Part I should be aware of the emotional change in the gameplay BEFORE going in. Your fond memories of the funny and snarky Ellie (and Joel) from Part I will forever be changed, often for a much darker, albeit morally rich and complex, main character.

    With that caveat, this game is WELL worth the money... don't be fooled by the haters.    … Expand

Ah well, let’s just try to ignore it for the sake of giving my own review. “The Last of Us” was one of 2013’s most well-received video games, and it’s a title that has been hailed as one of the greatest video games ever created. It took me several years to get around to the game and play it myself, and when I did, I was legitimately worried that the hype would oversell the final product, but thankfully, it didn’t, and the original game remains fantastic for me. It’s one of my personal favorite games, and while the prospect of a sequel was exciting to me even before I played the first game, my hype thrusters went into overdrive once I actually played and beat the game. The more I saw of the game, the more excited I got, and the more I was hoping that the sequel would blow me away like the first game did. And I must honestly say, this sequel did blow me away!
    “The Last of Us Part II” knocks it out of the park in all aspects for me: visually, this is by far one of the most impressive-looking games that I’ve seen thus far, with stunning animations and an all-around fantastic design that perfectly captures the bleakness that surrounds the game. Down to the littlest details, the visuals shine, and it’s truly a technical achievement. It’s very rare that I find a game that can invoke my fear of heights and give me anxiety, but kudos to the visual designers for being able to do that. From a gameplay perspective, I think the game is consistently tensing and heart-pounding, whether you’re moving stealthily or engaged in a one-on-one boss fight. Even in its slowest sections, it never fails to put you on the edge of your seat, and while this might seem like a weird descriptor of a game like this, the gameplay does feel…really fun. The writing, as controversial as it already has been, is honestly one of my favorite things about the game. I think the story is extremely layered, and even though it’s very dark and depressing, there’s a lot that I can appreciate as I continue to think about the game. Even after finishing it, I still feel like there are layers I’m continuing to unfold and new ideas popping up in my head, and I think that the game’s handling of a story that’s constantly at conflict with itself is really fascinating. The characterization is great, I love the old and new cast all the same, and I think the writing is lifted by some of the excellent performances from the game’s cast of actors. These actors give some mesmerizing performances, and it’s quite a wonder to behold. Top it off by a light but impactful score from composer Gustavo Santaolalla, and you’ve got a game that really can do it all.
    Usually, this is the part of the review where I talk about the negatives of a game, and honestly, in this case I can’t, because there really wasn’t anything that detracted from my enjoyment of “The Last of Us Part II.” What I will spend this time doing, though, is giving a bit of a warning: I know this game has been very controversial so far, and you can probably tell by the user score, but it’s received a lot of criticism, which doesn’t totally surprise me. This game was always going to be divisive, and given that the story centers so heavily around moral ambiguity, it’s going to be polarizing and constantly at odds with itself. Some elements of the story will leave you conflicted and, at times, probably really angry. That said, though, this is a game that’s very layered and it often begs for you to read into every little detail that you can. For better or worse, even the most controversial aspects of the story have purpose in it. My advice if you want to get the most out of the game: take nothing the game gives you at face value. There’s always something to unpack here, so if nothing else, don’t immediately write off the game because of some of its controversial elements.
    All in all, while “The Last of Us Part II” might not exactly be for everyone, I think this is yet another amazing adventure from Naughty Dog that lives up to the standard they have set for themselves. I personally thought it was just as good (if not, dare I say, better than) the first game, and even if you’re put off by some of what you’ve heard, I highly recommend you at least give the game a fair shot. It’s polarizing, but it’s worth it to see what side of the fence you sit on with it. For me? I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and it’s gonna stick with me for a long, long time.

The story is about just one character, instead of the duo we got so familiar in TLoU - this is what pissed so fans off. But once you realize the story is trying to do it's own thing, the game becomes much more engaging.

    I thought it was impossible to out-do the first game but they did it. It has its flaws (like everything and every human in life) but it’s a masterpiece. Story, emotion, level-design, gameplay and atmosphere-wise Naughty Dog have outdone themselves! This is one of the biggest achievements in gaming history. Masterpiece.

    For the umpteenth time Naughty Dog has surprised everyone by completely changing genre. Visually speaking The Last of Us part II is overflowing, so full of detail will leave you breathless in more than one occasion. The Last of Us is very sad and moving, a constant punch in the stomach when you least aspects.
    I really loved this game has given me so many emotions like few others.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some complain about LGBTQ+ representation, some complain about having to play as a muscular woman. Those people are obviously ridiculous.

    But then there are those who say that the message of the game is that "revenge is bad." It's, uh, way more complex than that. You don't just play as Abby to show that everyone is the hero of their own story, and that Ellie or Joel could be seen as the villain in someone else's story. You also play as Abby to see what it looks like when someone believes their violence is more justified than someone else's. Abby tells her dad that if she were the immune one, she'd want her dad to perform the operation anyway. That's noble of her, but it's not noble to kill someone in their sleep without their knowledge. She and her dad thought that act of violence was justified (it wasn't).

    And so Joel thinks that killing the Fireflies and the doctor was justified (it wasn't). Abby thinks that killing Joel is justified (it wasn't). Ellie thinks that killing Abby is justified (it isn't). Abby thinks that killing Dina would be justified, because Ellie killed Mel (it isn't).

    Elsewhere, Lev thinks that shaving his head is justified (it is). The Scars think that killing Lev is justified (it isn't). And so Lev stops Abby from killing Ellie. And Ellie stops herself from killing Abby. The cycle only stops when someone decides to stop.

    If it didn't occur to you during the 1st game, while carrying out Joel's act of killing dozens of people, including doctors, to save one person - even if it means that you're damning everyone in the world to continue living in a zombie apocalypse, and lying to and gaslighting the person you claim to love - that this might be morally questionable, something's wrong with you.

    The game never wants you to shift your loyalty to Abby and suddenly hate Ellie. The game wants to expand on the idea it left you with when Joel killed all those people - that you should question your own morality. The game makes you play as Abby while she hunts for Joel and while she attacks Ellie so that it feels BAD when you're attacking a half-dead Abby that's been roasting on a stick in the sun for a few days. Because that should feel bad! It may just be a video game, but you can still feel empathy for characters who have made mistakes. You don't have to like Abby, but you don't need to kill her.    … Expand

    The characters in TLOU are not real people. They're not your best friend; they are signifiers. Stop whining and realize that is the case with nearly every piece of fictional entertainment.

    One quarter of the way through the game opinion: I enjoyed this more than the first. Deeply appreciated that Druckman didn’t sellout and write something to please everyone. I’ve usually associated gay as being a bit too annoyingly sensitive and too gentle (for lack of a better word...or maybe it’s delicate), but this movie is as gutsy and manly as it can get.

I’ve usually associated gay as being a bit too annoyingly sensitive and too gentle (for lack of a better word...or maybe it’s delicate), but this movie is as gutsy and manly as it can get. But at the same time it steals your heart even though u might not be the same sexual orientation as Ellie u can’t help but sympathize and appreciate that there is love there. There’s so much I want to say it’s funny, the game play is so enjoyable but tbh I gotta keep playing. I think if there are complaints about this move it’s bc some ppl a bit to sheltered (as this generation can be) to appreciate a story with some real struggle and some suffering and I kind of enjoy seeing fruitcakes like that squirm a little.

    After finishing: you can tell so much love went into creating this. There is such attention to detail, but at the same time, each step is leading us toward a bigger picture. Its hard for me to see how someone can not like it if they play it through, or even just play it half way through. Understandably I think some people were devastated by listening to some of the leaks, I went on nearly hate site towards the game and liked it, but well before the end of this journey I could see I was hasty in my reaction. It's a better story and more entertaining and more meaningful than most best pictures like Forest Gump, Braveheart, No Country for Old Men...and in comparing it to a book, it its in the same vein thematically as "To Kill a Mockingbird", but I feel even more superior because it was a sequel.

    I sympathize to those who heard about leaks and felt their high expectations were crushed. I know a theme of hope leaves you with this feeling that's hard to beat, like at the end of part 1. At the end of part 2, despite the insult you felt to your heart early on, you can tell as a gamer who longed to take a journey, you were deeply respected and loved.    … 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]
