    A classic teenager sex fantasy game. 0/10. Yet another Life is Strange if you want to call that too.

    The game is awesome from all perspectives, it may be that at some point you will not understand it completely but at the end all will be clear! And yes, once finished just start new game because it's fantastic go play! (P.s. it's the second game after Sekiro that gives me this sentiment)

    Did you enjoy the smart, careful, pragmatic, untrusting hero of the first game? Well I hope you enjoy that character being dumb, careless, gullible, and beaten to death with a 9 iron within the first few hours of the game.

    Gameplay and history are total garbage. Seriously, more than 10 hours of cutscenes?

    Gameplay and graphics worse than games released years ago. I've played games of 2015 with more beautiful graphics and better scripts.

    The script for this game is a bad joke. It was better to stop at the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OH MY GAWD ... False equivalencies much ? Joel does what he has to to save his daughter from death and the doctors daughter travels across the country years later and kills him in cold blood in front of his daughter. There wasn't a guarantee "the cure" would have worked and the doctor wouldn't have sacrificed his own daughter... ! I'm very disappointed by this sequel I've been looking forward to for years. TERRIBLE writing, horrible characters, they even managed to ruin Ellie.

    The forced turns of events were really hard to take and then this horrible person through sympathetic sappy BS was the last straw. Perhaps i will finish this some day, i sure spent enough on it, but it wont be today. I cant believe i have buyers remorse on the sequel to my favorite game of all time. Shame on you Naughty Dog!

    Gave 4 points for game play then took away 3 as im so disappointed i cant stomach playing it.

    "Critics": ... Graphics, Lighting choices and bold sexual preference statements in "unexplored territories" have blinded your appreciation for what a video game should be. The story sucked, felt cheated but WOW did you see the lighting ?    … Expand

The last of us part 2 has by far been a game that has touch me in so many ways. To feel so confused of my feelings for characters like this has been truly unique. I felt every blow and seen the enemy’s in the game as people not just plot devices. My hatred for Abby turned to love and watching her and Ellie fight was heart breaking and bold. I did not want Abby to die. So much emotion through out. Thank you for story based gameplay. I enjoyed the first game but I am in love with this one.Robert Simmons… Expand

    This is my third time revising a score and review that nobody will likely ever read. I have now finished the game.

    I'm giving it a 6 because I'm averaging the 2 scores on game-play and story. Normally I would rank game-play as far more important than story but because this game is so story-driven and full of cinematic scenes, I think it should be weighed 50-50.

    Starting with the story. I'm giving it a 4. It should be less but the visuals in this game are stunning, so that helps. I found the interactive cut-scenes overabundant and tedious but I'll acknowledge that some of them did manage to play with my heartstrings a bit, which is something. The whole guitar theme was too much. Seemed like they were really milking that one line from the first game about Joel teaching Ellie to play guitar. It felt forced. So did the lovey-dovey stuff in the first half. This game tries hard to contrast joy and suffering by having a lot of happy scenes spliced between the brutal game-play. It failed to be profound and just ended up being tacky at times. The unskippable cut-scene of Ellie serenading her girlfriend to "take on me" almost made me quit the game. I've heard a lot of people complain about various parts of the game but nobody seemed to be as offended as me by the tacky stuff like that. Seems like there is a lot of stuff to dislike about this game even if you don't have the same disagreements about the main direction of the story.

    Here's the thing though: I really didn't like Abbey and I didn't want to play as her for as long as I did. She grew on me a little bit by the end of her segment though I'll admit. But dude, why did they feel the need to show me her bewbs? That sex scene was almost as bad as the "take on me" scene, but at least it was short and skippable. What's worse is that by the end of Ellie's arc, I disliked her more than Abbey. They also made me dislike Tommy. I get that they were trying to give her character layers and nuance and all that, but she was just irredeemable. What Joel did in the first game was selfish, but understandable. Throwing everything to the wind to try and kill someone who has already had 2 opportunities now and every reason to kill you but didn't, that's arguably just lazy writing. Story wise, the game should have ended sooner than it did. Not because it would have been a more happy story, but because it would have been a better story. The last act was pretty fun game-play wise though, so I'll give it that.

    The game-play gets an 8. There are a lot of really awesome moments but if you don't have the willpower to get to the later parts of the game, you'd be temped to say that it's all the same repetitive encounters. I was playing in survivor mode, which made some moments super fun and riveting, but with such low ammo and item supply, I got flashbacks to the Arkham games, where you're slowly creeping around waiting for enemies to turn their backs and trying to memorize their movements. I like the Arkham games, but they are repetitive and tedious. There were some parts where I almost stopped playing because it seemed like I was just doing the same stealth challenges over and over, but I'm glad I kept going because there were definitely more rewarding moments sprinkled throughout.

    The level design is impeccable. I prefer the richly detailed linear design to the bland open world environments that are currently plaguing most AAA games. The only thing I didn't like was sometimes you'd unknowingly advance to the next area and be unable to turn back unless you had created a manual save, which means you can leave behind key items that might have been stored in a safe, which is an obsessive completionist's nightmare.

    I want to finish by calling out the people who are saying this game is being "review bombed" and implying that there is something wrong with that. These people paid money, and they deserve an opinion, regardless of whether or not that opinion is level headed. If it's not a reasonable opinion, they are entitled to it. Especially if they paid full price for the game, which most of them did. Paying money for a disappointing product is as good a reason and motivator as any to leave a scathing review. There were definitely moments in this game that I felt people were trying to check off items on a diversity quota. It wasn't that bad, and it didn't bother me much, but I definitely got that vibe more than once. It made me feel bad for the devs who were putting their heart and soul into creating riveting game-play mechanics to think that their colleagues were sitting around a desk deciding which character should be having conflicting thoughts about their gender roles and how they could tie that into the already convoluted story.

    So the average of 4 and 8 is 6. This game gets a 6 because overall, it's just ok, pretty good even, but not a must-play. They should consider a mode where you can just choose which action sequences you want to play, like a "challenge mode".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got a few reasons for my score being zero.
    Number 1. Everything what you loved about this game, the relation between Joel and Ellie will be gone within the first our of playtime. All the foundation you build up through the first game within the worlds strong atmosphere and set pieces, this really made it difficult for me to actually continue on playing.
    Number 2. I actually played a lot of the multiplayer in the first game bsck on the PS3.
    The abscense of a multiplayer makes it only worse. This game was so well crafted when it came to its dedicated MLG maps, progression system, weapon feel, playstyles, to some extend I considered this one of the better multiplayer games. My point is, even IF (hypothetically speaking) TLOU was a BAD GAME, I would have still been glued on my chair for its addicting multiplayer component. TLOU2 has no multiplayer so less content for the same money. I usually play games like Battlefield and Call of Duty competitive and if we had to rely on its single player completely, it would have been mediocre at best. Hence why the multiplayer does justice (those single players are plain trash I uaually like games like Darkness and Bioshock instead).
    Number 3. In case you're a cuck who says "HaVe YoU pLaYeD iT?" stop humiliating and contradicting yourself. You don't need to play a game like E.T. for two hours to realise it's bad. The same applies for this game, and pretty any game really. You're not going to tell me that if you don't like a sports, racing, fighting game that I (anyone) have to play it for 10+ hours to form an opinion if I just have no interest in the core gameplay. Yes, in theory, the last three hours could be the best hours of your entire life. However, I did only feel pessimism at every second whenever I had to keep on playing what the writers did to Joel. I went back to the retailer why I was upset, and I got my money back. Now I'm stuck with a TLOU2 tophy list on one of my dummy accounts that I can never remove. It feels like a confrontation whenever someone can see this on my list. I really feel letdown by Naughty Dog. I played since I was very young both Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter on my PS2 (PS2 is backwards compatible so no I didn't need a PS1 to play PS1 games), up until Uncharted 1, 2, 3, 4 and the first Last of Us.
    Number 4.Yes, the game does function but it adds very little in comparison to ALL Naughty Dog games. So why bother having a game fhat really ruined the first game, and is inferior on many fundemental fronts. If you want a game like this that is actually good and recent, go with Uncharted 4, Last of Us 1, God of War 2018, just a few games that don't ruin your mood and really do praise to both old and new fans.

    TL;DR; BAD STORY, FLAWED FUNDEMENTAL GAME, KILLED THE PART 1 PROTAGONIDT, BETTER ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE, EXCLUSION OF MULTIPLAYER.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu não conheço muitas pessoas LBGTs que são verdadeiramente fãs do jogo. Gostaria de encontrar aqui, gays, lésbicas, enfim, que assim como eu que também detestaram o jogo. Por favor, apareçam! Vamos conversar.

    Eu me decepcionei com praticamente tudo o que foi apresentado em The Last Of Us II. Cagaram por completo na história de uma forma imperdoável e meus motivos são os seguintes:

    Personagens: quase sem vida, sem sentimentos, feito bonecos que lutam para conversar. O diálogo é pobre, sem roteiro, tudo o que Joel e Ellie precisam fazer para agradar um ao outro, ou Ellie para agradar Dina é tocar violão. Sem isso, o cenário fica "vazio", um personagem fica olhando para a cara do outro se perguntando: "que bosta estamos fazendo aqui?"

    - Joel: a morte dele, como foi contada, é inaceitável. Na minha opinião nem mesmo a morte da Dina justificaria uma vingança da Ellie. Pensamos que seria assim. Mas foi pior. De fato, o Joel poderia ter morrido, entenderíamos, ao controlar Ellie, sua raiva, mas por que do jeito como foi contado? Por que transformaram Joel em um homem ingênuo? Cagaram por completo nele e isso eu não aceito.

    - Tommy: o personagem mais babaca da história do segundo jogo. Sem sentimentos e tomando atitudes completamente desconexas. Sai sozinho em busca de vingaça, se fode, e no final, a todo custo manda Ellie, sozinha, vingar o irmão. Ellie, que também merecia ficar em paz. E por que diabos tiraram a Maria dele? Já não bastava o cara ficar todo fodido fisicamente e ainda quiseram fode-lo ainda mais perdendo a família? Horrível, sem palavras.

    - Ellie: o que fizeram com a Ellie? O que fizeram? Faltaram totalmente com o respeito com a sexualidade dela. Exporam de forma muito ruim e grotesca os sentimentos dela, levando os heteros a odiar ainda mais esse o movimento LGBT. Ellie foi completamente exposta a consentimentos ruins de sua sexualidade, sendo que isso, no primeiro jogo passava tão despercebido que ela era adorada por todos. Não que agora seja odiada, mas taxaram Ellie de modo que não conseguimos olhar para The Last Of Us II como uma história de amor e sim como um movimento gay. Não achei ruim as cenas dela com a Dina no que versa sobre o amor de ambas, se apresentasse uma HISTÓRIA, essas cenas seriam as mais fofas do mundo, principalmente no final, quando Ellie segura seu bebê. Alias, falando em cenas, conseguiram estragar a minha favorita dos trailers, a do beijo, após Dina convidar Ellie para dançar. Eu simplesmente era apaixonada naquela cena e quando finalmente consegui vê-la no jogo, aparece um velho ridículo e as ofende de sapatão. Quem, em um apocalipse zumbi vai se preocupar em ofender alguém de sapatão? Tomar no c***.

    Cenário: perfeitos, realmente de cair o queixo, o que justifica minha nota não ter sido zero. Porém,
    até neles consegui enxergar defeitos. Os mapas são imensos e há poucos inimigos e principalmente infectados. Praticamente só encontramos infectados em locais confinados. Sendo assim, até explorar se torna cansativo.

    História: desconexa, sem fundamentos, sem sentimentos, sem essência e principalmente... sem amor. E o pior, inseriram personagens sem carisma nenhuma nela, nos fazendo engoli-los goela abaixo como se fossem pessoas "legais." Não são! Definitivamente não são! Abby não significou nada para mim, odiei cada segundo jogar com ela. Na boa, querer explorar a história da filha do médico que o Joel matou para salvar Ellie? Muita maconha, cara, muita viagem. Durante toda sua vida no apocalipse, Joel não matou por prazer, ele matou porque teve que matar. Independente se seus motivos foram egoísticos para salvar Ellie, foi uma abordagem muito mal feita e covarde. Para mim, a história se resume a isso, a vingança contada em duas perspectivas, a de Ellie e Abby, o que um lixo. A todo momento comparam Ellie com Abby, tanto que somos forçados a jogar com ela. ELLIE NÃO É COMO ABBY! NÃO É!

    Resumindo, nos contaram uma piada e não a história de The Last Of Us II. É com muito pesar que digo: lamentável...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is technically maybe the best game ever created. The combat and the character progression are incredible. The graphics are amazing, a NaughtyDog classic mark, and the details of the maps are astonishing. The AI is improved from the first one and the enemies are very well developed. The sensation of hitting an enemy on the head with the bow is still incredibly fun. As I said, everything technically is great, but everyone who plays TLOU plays it because of its story, and this is the part we should talk about.

    The beginning of the game reminds us the great story told on the first part, it is touching and exciting to see our favorites characters back again, especially on the guitar scenes. But the first problem appears with Joel. In the first part, Joel is skeptical, he distrusts everyone even Ellie in the beginning. But inexplicably he trusts in a stranger who is with her group, that they never heard about, in a camp beside their city. He and Tommy go there, and Joel is tortured and killed. But OK, although convenient, that is the motivation of the game. After that, Ellie parts in a journey of anger and revenge.
    Ellie´s story is actually nice, until the middle of the game. You understand her anger and as she, you want to kill Abby no matter what. The exploring in Seattle is fun and the encounters with her enemies are brutal and emotionally incredible, it seems like you are living that with her. But then starts Abby´s story.

    Before talking about Abby. I´d like to talk about the tsunami of politics implicit in the game. It seems like everything is about the politic opinion of the director. There are things forced and pass the limits in several times. Two girls having sex in the middle of a marijuana plantation in a house with a snowstorm in a zombie region, really? A girl who is discovering her sexuality, shaves her head and is pursued to the death by a religious cult (that is weirdly not explored at all in the game), like they have nothing better to worry about, like killing zombies, fighting for supplies, trying to survive a war with a highly armed rivals. Of course, homophobia is a problem in our society, but the game explores it in a wrong perspective, nothing is educative or awareness, it is all provocative and brutal. None of it is putted in the game in a soft way or scripturally convincing, everything is pushed, forced in an unnatural way. It looks like it was made to please a minor radical part of the society. Honestly, we don´t need this right now, our society is completely divided. Everything is politicized, even the brand of toilet paper. This is bad. Politics discussions are not healthy today, they are toxic and hurtful. Nobody will change their mind after playing TLOU II, it will only generate hate.
    In the first game, homosexually was treated in a perfect way. We know for seven years that Ellie is a lesbian and nobody cares, in the contrary, everybody loves her. Just because it is natural, the script is well written and it is logical that she be that way, just like Bill. In this game homosexually is treated in a provocative way, with nothing corroborating to the story, it is there just to provoke and stir up fights, adding nothing to the story. But enough of this political ****

    Now, Abby´s story. In short it is like in Harry Potter you being Voldemort. He has his reasons and, in his way, he would appear right, but it does not mean he is the hero or the good guy. It is not cool playing her side. I understand the view that the developers wanted to show, but it is not nice. The characters on this side are forgettable, with no charisma, boring. And the worst part, We have to hit Ellie, WE HAVE TO TRY TO KILL ELLIE!!! WTF??? She is a symbol of a generation, millions of people around the world loves her, we watched her growing up. I don´t want to kill her, I don´t want to play that part ever again. Maybe Abby´s part could be a DLC, I don´t know, but it just not seems right.
    Well, finally, the end of the story is at best disappointing. It is nice seeing Ellie living with Dina on an incredible ambiance, but the second part of the journey is nothing but a **** conclusion. At the end of the game, including both journeys (Seattle and St. Barbara), Ellie kills HUNDREDS of people, most of them INNOCENTS, hundreds of infected and several DOGS to arrive at the beach and LET ABBY GO. WTF?? In short, everything you do in the game, everyone that dies in the game, EVERY 30 **** HOURS YOU SPEND PLAYING THIS **** IS POINTLESS!!!
    At the end:
    Joel dies
    Jesse dies
    Tommy is **** up and lost his marriage
    Ellie doesn´t end with Dina
    Ellie doesn´t get her revenge
    Ellie can´t play guitar anymore.

    OK, I was not hoping for a good end, but I was not hoping to be so disappointed with this game, that I´ve waited for 7 years.

    Congratulations NaughtyDog, for the worst story you ever made    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Towards the end of the game I found myself just rushing through the different areas on easy mode, because I got bored by the repetitive gameplay a lot and just wanted to finish the story. The search for Tommy, which makes almost half of the game, is packed with boring detours and grinding for material in houses or basements. The game at some points is really bloated and makes you do everything twice, thrice, and so on. The enemy encounters are somehow always the same and differ only very small parts. I found no motivation to make my way through the Scars' or Wolfes' camps like the developers intended to as clearing out those camps was not even necessary to move forward in the story. Sneaking, waiting, attacking, watching a way too long stealth kill cutscene (yes, I know you could shorten it by skilling, but why would I spend my pills on that skill?), looting, crafting, and in the next area I had to do the same. It was just a convenient method to give the player something to do and maybe to hide that there is only little substance with regard to the storytelling. Rushing through without killing anybody remained without consequences, so I kept looking for a purpose of my actions. I found also very very annoying that you almost made it to your point of interest and then - suddenly - you dropped into a river or fell down many floors so that you'd have to go there again, but just another way this time. Killing off the minor characters frequently (Jesse, Yara, Danny, ...) wore off at some point as if Naughty Dog just wanted to highlight how cruel their storytelling can be, but it was rather pointless. And compared to TLOU Part 1 it indeed was in many ways. I always thought that Game of Thrones' Littlefinger was the only character in the world that could beam from point A to B in minutes without context.
    Yes, the presentation of the game is phenomenal, but it's something that I take for granted when it comes to an AAA title. In the end it is also very easy to praise the details of the landscape or houses because they somehow looked all the same. There was only little variation. Almost every house had the same cupboards, the same kitchen, the same bathroom, it looked like a copy & past design, which is another aspect that bored me.
    As for the story I quickly lost my connection to Ellie and never established one to Abby.
    I am also very disappointed by the developers praise that we would have to endure the consequences of Ellies decisions and actions. That's what they said many times in a short 5 minute clip prior to the release of the game. Turned out that this was simple marketing nonsense. The game itself made the decision, I never got to decide anything. And what decisions in life do not cause consequences? Whatever you do, it will have a result. Like developing a boring and repetitive game causes players' frustration.    … Expand

    An honestly amazing game. Many people here hate it because of the story and how it seems to betray you, but that is exactly the point. The game is not supposed to make you comfortable, it's supposed to make you angry, and it does just that. I loved it. Only reason it isn't a 10 is because the gameplay can get slightly repetitive, but besides that, amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How far your willing to go for revenge? Ellie & Abby story for revenge was gripping at my heart strings from beginning to end. Those that helped in their quest for revenge got what came to them. Most of them died but that those who survived in the journey are forever marked by that experience. A lesson learned that for those who wish to walk that road. Ask yourself... Are you willing to sacrifice your loved ones and innocent bystanders to get what you want? Ellie learned at the end of the day, with all that blood in her hands it wasn't worth it anymore.
    Personally Abby should have died but she did suffered enough at the end when her friends and lover died... her body was also tortured and abused then left to bake in the sun. Thinking about Lev as well as his actions... loses and torture throughout the story. Abby was the only person he has in this life. Should ellie take that from him? Would she or even Joel be ok with all this? Hard to say but in my gut I knew killing abby wasn't the answer.

    Story aside I loved the puzzles, safe cracking solving, scenery and graphics! The game is very beautiful and polished. 10/10 a very thought provoking game.    … Expand

Better graphics, uninspired dialogue, weak story, gameplay is virtually unchanged from part I, and plot holes the size of Venus. Joel part I: "I think that guy is faking being hurt, I'm gonna hit him with my truck.", Joel part II :" Hi I'm Joel, Joel Miller, How ya doin'? Whats this, you want me to go in this here murder shed while you lock the door behind me? Sounds good pal!" This should not have been a game. A Movie or Netflix series maybe but this is 2020, you can't just phone in a story like this and not expect to be blasted. All the 10/10 reviewers say the same thing "Great game but I didn't have fun." well then it wasn't a 10/10, and it's not a 0/10 or 1/10 because the graphic design team did a great job but everything else is just lazy.

Even after hearing all the negative press and even seeing spoilers, Joel’s death, playing as Abby, characters committing acts you would have previously never thought they were capable of, the empty feeling you are given at the end. It’s all in service of a larger and unforgiving story that doesn’t and shouldn’t care about how you feel or who you’ve personally spent time with. Especially in the world the Last Of Us occupies. Graphically unbelievable and impressive, you will blow a screaming and begging enemy’s skull open and see a flap of their scalp hit a window or television, see it slide down leaving a trail of blood behind it. the combat and the immersive AI, especially on higher difficulties, can make you feel like you don’t have any better chance making it out of the encounter than your targets.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics and sound effects are excellent. But this is also the only really good thing.

    The gameplay is similar to the first part, which isn't necessarily bad. But after 7 years of development one could have expected more. For my taste there are also too many annoying Quick-Time events.

    The AI opponents are blind in places and mostly follow fixed routes. This could have been done better in an AAA game.

    The story is the real point of criticism. It is garbage.

    First the death of Joel: He is letting himself be led like a lamb to the slaughter in the first two hours of the game. Tommy has also lost all of his survivor instint. With the early death of Joel one feels screwed because the trailers suggest he's going off with Ellie. This was the first point – two hours into the game! – where i considered quitting.

    Still the game had the potential to entertain me because Ellie was still left. But her character development was a total failure. The multi-layered personality of the first part became a female captain Ahab, who wanted to slay his white whale at all costs. Totally flat. The only thing you can say about Ellie in the second Part oft he game ist that she's lesbian, vindictive, and extremely dangerous. She has become absolutely boring.

    But the really **** part is that you have to play half the game as Abby, the murderess of Joel. She is a completely psyopathic, testosterone-damaged mass murderer who enjoys killing. One of the most unsympathetic characters I have ever seen in a game/film. Compared to her, Joffrey Baratheon is a lovable guy. When the gameplay switched to Abby i stopped playing, but restarted later to hopefully get revenge on her. So I spent half of the game thinking, "When am I going to switch back to Ellie and be able to kill Abby?

    But even that is not to happen. In the end, after Ellie has lost everyone and sacrificed everthing for her revenge and is literally seconds away from killing Abby, she just stops and lets her go. Wow, that is like Captain Ahab stopping to stab Moby Dick because in the last moment he recognizes the senselessnes of his acts.
    Why does the player not get the choose what to do? Every third-class RPG gives you choice an builds an individual end based on your choices.

    One can sum up the story oft he game with one sentence: revenge ist bad. That´s it.

    In the end TLOU2 is a solid survival action game with great graphics, great sound and an average gameplay.
    However, the plot is more than thin and the characters are hollow and unsympathetic.

    I did not enjoy the game at all and would personally give it zero points.
    But since only half of it is bad - story and character development - 5 points seemed more appropriate. It is works as an undemanding shooting game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay: 10/10 - I loved the gameplay from the first one and all they did was expand on it.

    Graphics: 10/10 - Easily one of the best, if
    not the best looking game out there.

    Environment: 10/10 - The attention to detail was unreal, and the ability to recreate Seattle with extreme precision was remarkable. The subtle, “you have to pay attention to see it” details were the cherry on top of the sundae with this.

    A.I.: 7/10 - Still kind of clumsy. The zombies were still too easy to kill, even with the slightly more difficult combat system. I liked the different factions of enemies, rather than in the first game, where everyone was almost identical.

    Story: 5/10 - Nobody wanted Joel to go out like that. (or in my case, at all.) Having seen spoilers before the game released, I knew it was coming and came to terms with it beforehand. I think they dropped the ball having him die so early, and so quickly. Although it made sense, in terms of where they wanted to go with the story. Playing as abby for 10 hours of the game.... hated it. I figured “hey if I’m not gonna play as Joel, at least I can play as Ellie” but it didn’t happen. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Which wasn’t because I had to play as Abby, but because I wanted to play as Ellie, the character I had an emotional attachment with, not some random forced on me. I also might be in the minority about not killing Abby as well. I think (in terms of the story already laid out) that killing Abby wouldn’t of made as much sense as letting her live. I was upset as first about the ending, because first game Ellie would’ve killed her, just like first game Joel wouldn’t never been in the situation where he died. I gave it a couple days, and I’ve come to terms with those decisions.    … Expand

Just let's pretend this game never exist. Thank you for flop of the year.… Expand

    This game is not perfect. We all wait for 7 years for better story. But gameplay and graphics are beautiful.

    Отличная графика, замечательный геймлей. Хотя по мне, местами слишком жестокие сцены. Не понравился момент, когда меня заставили пытать девушку, когда играл за Элли. Почему я не имею права выбора? Сделали меня соучастником.

    It is an incredible game, why? First, the game mechanics are fascinating, like their combat, which is the best I've seen in a long time, thanks to its dodge system and multiple death scenes. Also, the intelligence of the enemies is so well polished that when you kill one, your allies realize that it disappears and they shout your name, just like your allies, who help you with battles.It is an incredible game, why?

Second, its graphics are the best I've seen on PS4, they are very realistic, the lights are very well done and the flora is also very well done, the infested are scary, etc. Third, the sound section is very well done, you hear the crystals of a glass if you step on them after breaking one, when hitting an enemy you hear as if the blow was real, in short, it makes you feel as if you were in the game. To finish, as many negative critics say, his story is bad, which is not, because his characters are well developed, everything fits, except the end, which is a meh.
    In short, IT IS A GREAT SEQUEL AND GAME.    … Expand

    'Subverting expectations' is a story-telling trend that needs to die.

    Overall TLOU 2 is an ok game. I don't really have any problem with the story overall although I do wish certain things had been presented differently than the current implementation and I really like the exploration in the open zone areas.

    IMO, the game has taken a step back in a few areas in terms of polish, melee combat, and stealth.

    I've encountered a few bugs throughout my time playing which while not egregious I did not experience in TLOU 1. This mostly takes place as AI pathing issues and clipping through a wall or floor which requires a restart. Nothing gamebreaking but just kinda annoying in general.

    In regards to the melee combat, I feel like the flow of it has suffered in order to make way for the dodge mechanic. I can no longer rush up and surprise them with a melee hit to stun them and either take them out or throw them into a grab. Most of the time doing so involves either getting riddled with bullets immediately or treating it as a normal combat initiation.

    Stealth wise, I feel like the things they've tried to spice up the stealth mechanics such as dogs that can catch your scent and chase you or being able to hide in grass to be more difficult to detect, ultimately ends up muddying the stealth play and I wish it was more like the stealth of TLOU 1.

    Regarding the enemy AI, I feel like compared to TLOU 1, they are much more likely to instantly shoot you when you pop out of cover to take a shot at them or shoot multiple shots at you in the time it takes to shoot one shot at them but that might just be me so I'm not holding that against it.

    Visually, the game is great but some parts are a little too heavy on the film grain where it just seems a bit over-bearing for certain parts of the presentation.

    Overall, I think it's a good game. Not terrible, not amazing, but somewhere in the middle.    … Expand

It was so cool to see the side of the “villain” (Abby) because it revealed how she wasn’t that bad... there were no “good” main characters in this game. I felt as if I played Ellie too little though.… Expand

    It's a story about revenge and it shows us how it transform a person. We barely recognize Ellie at the end. Revenge was taken too far. A truly nice thing about the story, is that we see the Wolves as monsters from Ellies point of view, but once you start playing Abby, you understand how much you were wrong about everything, and it's just mind-blowing. Not going to into the details of the game play cause. Everything is great. Just play it and have a great story to enjoy.    … Expand

    If you didn't realise this, Joel was the bad guy in the first game!! shocking right? and this was a great game that perfectly shifts the paradigm of the first. It doesnt do any sjw stuff and isnt what psuedo intellectuals proclaim it to be with all their hot takes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Giving it at 1 is being nice only reason why is because the gameplay was kinda smooth, the story felt forced, the script was definitely written by 21yr old tryin to hand in a essay the hour it's due, the credit show alot of people that worked on it. I bet no one criticized it at all and they just said yes that works. Perfect boss, your gonna make history boss, Shït like that. They took a fine age game and turned it into fools gold. The way they killed Joel was just for shock value. The supporting characters didn't even play a role but to either leave or die. And the Abby was okay it was different. But again the script was so badly made I didn't care about what they were saying. And to be honest playing it on the hardest difficulty wasn't even worth it No special achievement or anything… 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]
