    This game is actually unbelievable, the story, the gameplay, the graphics, everything is absolutely amazing.

I just don't get why everyone is bombing all review sites rating 0 stars, just pathetic. Maybe it's because of Ellie and dina and their relationship? (I have no idea why it would be that but I've seen some people complain) or the main plot, I can understand some reviews about the plot but it doesn't deserve the 0 stars, other than that 1 part which was very sad, the rest is great. I did start the game after reading all the bad reviews and a lot say after 2hrs it goes down hill, IT DOES NOT! . I agree with the critics this game is definitely a 10/10 game its wonderful.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the long-awaited appearance of the second part of "One of Us" happened. It was something. A magnificent journey and a sea of ​​violence. Visually, the picture is gorgeous, the characters are interesting, the gameplay remains the same as in the first part and has changed a bit. The plot turned out to be peculiar, but not bad. Joel's death was stupid and the choice of Ellie in the final disappointed. But the whole picture of the story turned out to be good and interesting. I believe that the game has earned high marks. The best game in the genre.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game this generation, or at least a very good contender for it. Flipping the protagonist and antagonist theme on it's head and providing an unrivalled experience of the consequence of ones actions. Dark, harrowing and extremely beautiful. A terrific piece of work and story. The story is a mix of happiness and then sadness - a beautiful roller coaster ride that explores human emotion - and delves deep into the cycle of hatred and consequence.

    I have been up for one sitting and completed it. It is truly incredible. Yes, some of the story elements can be disappointing, but this does not make it a bad game in any context. Please do not listen to the review bombers, who have been waiting for the Metacritic user review section to open to purely review bomb the game when the majority of them have not even played it.

    To rate the game 0, but give it a 10 for graphics and 7 for gameplay makes absolute no sense whoever that silly user was. Clearly the game is being targeted due to the high profile and anti-fans will stop at nothing to ruin it. It is a shame but I suggest Metacritic take these reviews down as it is clearly not true.

    Now to actually delve into the review: No spoilers:

    Graphics: a solid 10 - these are some of the best visuals on PS4 and one of the best art directions I have ever seen. The material work is just absolutely spectacular... the level of detail present really brings you into the world. I will also mention animation here to save reading time - animation is by far the best I have ever seen utilising what seems to be motion capture animation frames for every single animation in game.

    Gameplay - 10 - Retains the incredible tense gameplay of the TLOU and expands on it with more verticality and more agility. Enemy AI is perhaps the best I have witnessed in a video game. They will communicate with one another to pinpoint you location so it seems, and they get slightly suspicious when members go missing (by missing I mean strangled) - I tend to go non-lethal wherever possible and yes at sometimes in the game it will force a violent approach on you, which is not a problem but can at times distract from the open-choice the rest of the game has (in a linear way of course). Otherwise this little nit pick is not a deviation from a 10/10 on gameplay side as this is the game. If I could rate out of 100, gameplay would be 96, as such it would be very unfair to give it 90.

    Story - 9/10 (92/100): The story is very good do not let those who want to ruin the game do exactly that for you. Whilst not your conventional bitter sweet and dark themed sequel.... It is brilliant...in a very dark and bitter way.. but there is happiness to be found and I think the theme of the game is consequence of actions taken. Every action has a consequence and this is what happens in the game... at least in a story driven way. It flips the antagonist and protagonist experience on it's head and delivers a very dark formula, but a beautiful one.

    Overall - taking average of all scores is 96/100 and hence giving this game a 9/10 would be unfair.

    To put this is perspective, TLOU was awarded a 95/100 from myself and hence was given a 10, as 9 seemed unfair.

    I implore that Metacritic finds a way to certify you have played the game. As this game is clearly targeted for not letting fans write the story and including a homosexual lead character. So called fans are unhappy because they were too focused on what they want from the story not from what the story is and the journey it explores. It is a story after all, not your story,, Ellies and you need to pick it apart for what it is and not what you wanted the plot points to be. To all of you are review bombing this game simply because you don't agree with homosexuality or the plot points you need to reconsider that it does not make it a terrible game. I found the experience great.

    Having now played through three times. I can say this game is simply beautiful.    … Expand

    Everyone who is not too lazy to give the game minimum ratings, supposedly for sjw agenda in the game, which is almost not in the game itself. The game has an excellent plot and gameplay, it breaks through emotions during the passage. 90 percent of the people who put it to 0 on this site have not played a game and will never play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello, all the dear and honorable users of Jouel's death and the events in the game shocked me to a very bad extent.
    But I've always believed in Sony and Nate Dogg's work. Please check the game carefully and don't comment on emotions.
    Because it only makes the enemies of Sony happy, the game had a lot of small points that must be trusted.Personally, I was very saddened by Jouel's death, and I cried for a long time, and I feel sympathy for you and the other bad things that happened, because I myself was severely beaten
    And last but not least, the negatives only hurt the credibility of Nate Dogg and Sony, making them less motivated to make other masterpieces..

    Please don't leave them alone, they have only achieved so much success through you. Please don't stop supporting them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the game is really fun and I actually prefer part 2's gameplay to the first one. The game is extremely immersive due to the amazing sound design, graphics and music.

    Spoiler warning:
    Joels death gave ellie a reason to fight and seeing the look of anger in ellies eyes shows just how overcome with hatred she is. Ellie leaving abby at the end was good character development as it showed how she realised that violence isn't always the answer and that by killing her she would be just as bad as abby. Therfore proving that she's stronger than abby by not letting her emotions consume her and she brakes the cycle of violence that this game centers around.

    Being able to play as Abby for a long period of time was something I wasn't expecting and it worked really well. At first I thought "why would I want to keep abby alive when she's the person we're trying to kill", but by the end of it abby is an extremely fleshed out character and it makes the player see her in a different light and makes it even better to see ellie let her live as she's already taken everything she loves from her.

    In conclusion I'd give this game a solid 10, this is definitely my game of the year and cyberpunk is gonna have to pull something crazy to beat it. This is seriously close to being my favourite game of all time, probably tied with half-life 2 and uncharted 2.

    Anyway if you didn't like it thats fine, video games are an art and art is subjective. But most people leaving the reviews on this game are rating it unfairly after watching a walk-through or playing the first couple hours and thinking they've experienced enough to rate it. To fully experience this game you have to play the hole thing yourself and even if you're but hurt about joels death, trust me when I say the rest of the game redeems it. I just really hate to see a good game get destroyed by the toxic gaming community and it means it probably won't win game of the year because then everyone would be claiming they were paid by sony or something. So please, if you dont want to play this game because of all the negative reviews, just try it and you'll see that all the critics weren't lying when they said this game was a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Superb game! An emotional rollercoaster rendered in stunning detail! I get that the narrative will have people talking, but giving this a low score based on a narrative choice you disagree with is lame. This game is outstanding!

That’s what makes the story telling so special to me. It was very well crafted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a feeling a lot of these 1 star reviews are from people who haven't even played the game and some from people who own a certain MS console and can't play it. I received my copy 2 days early and I'm now finished. I'm not going to lie the first 2 hours broke me and I found myself very angry and sad about the direction the game was going in, but I ploughed through and I'm so glad that I did.
    Everything looks stunning it's the best game graphically available on the PS4 Pro. And with a generation that includes RDR2 and God of War that's no easy feat. The environment's feel alive in a way I've never experienced in a game before, the characters feel so real and the way enemies call each other by name makes every kill feel even more brutal. Upon first arriving in Seattle I was really enjoying tearing stuff up, mutilating and killing every WLF member I could find and leaving no-one alive, mainly because of my anger about the event 2 hours in. However the story is so masterfully written that by the midway point of Ellies first section I was already questioning whether any of this was worth all the bloodshed. The way enemies are brutally killed by Ellie was satisfying at first but carry weight the further you get into the game.
    Then I reached the section with Abby which during the first 2 hours of the game I never could have hated a video game character more, even more than Micah from RDR2. I wanted her to die cruelly at the hands of Ellie. But again Naughty Dogs masterclass of storytelling shines through. We are treated to a wonderful backstory explaining where Abby's hate began and her journey for revenge which mirrors Ellies story and even surpasses it in some regards, by the time you're done playing with Abby her morals and reasoning behind her actions far outweigh Ellie's bloodlust.

    The talent of Naughty Dog is on show here, turning a character I never thought I could hate more into someone you actually like in the space of 8-10 hours of gameplay is something I don't think any other developer in the buisness could acheive.

    The gameplay itself is massively improved so much more to craft, bigger environments to use stealth and more angles and avenues to use to your advantage in every situation you come across, not to mention the infected are fantastic in this game. The horrifying clickers return which are as terrifying as ever, The runners are also more deadly in this game. Special mention for the Stalkers which are massively improved in part 2, they hide around corners or in dark spaces and wait for you, and are very clever working in packs to try to kill you. I can honestly say in every way this game really needs to be played, I can see why there is division and I found myself angry and upset after the first 2 hours, but that is how the developer want's you to feel. Naughty Dog want you to arrive in Seattle full of hate and I can promise by the time you finish Ellie's section if you don't feel redeemed by all the bloodshed you must be psychotic.
    I've never experienced anything across all forms of media that moved me in the way this game has, that includes films, TV series and games. In a world of video games with stick thin plotlines and tireless open world, climb a tower unlock the next part of the map etc, bland games. This stands out by a mile.
    Really don't understand all the 1 star reviews here, either they've not played the game or a writing their opinion after 2 hours of playing. Funny thing is if Part 2 was the exact same journey story of Joel and Ellie in different locations there'd be another group of people complaining that it does nothing new, and is just milking the first game.
    Maybe that's what people want nowadays, the same stories over and over again with no shock factor and nothing new to add. This remaster culture we seem to have gotten into in the last 5 years or so is proof of this. I have a feeling that looking back in years to come this will be looked back on as a seminal moment in gaming, although it's divisive and raw, it's interesting. Which is more than I can say for most games    … Expand

Special shoutout to the Bow. Major improvement compared to how the bow operated in the last game.

    Naughty Dog has delivered their staple stellar storytelling yet again, in the best and most harrowing way possible. I cried, I laughed, I got mad, and I felt pain with Ellie and all the other charac ters. With such dark themes, I expect it to be a divisive one, in a good way. It will inspire philosophical debate and conversation on how fragile humanity truly is.

    The technical side is absolute perfection. Not a single glitch was noticed, it ran on a stable 30fps, and it just looks oh so gorgeous. It’s amazing what they did with a 7 year old piece of hardware. Up there with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Uncharted 4 as the best looking games ever, maybe even having a slight, yet noticeable, edge.

    This is a strong contender for GOTY, and a strong early contender for Game of The Decade.    … Expand

    Once more, users don't understand the concept of character development and what Part II is intending to do. It's not always black and white and there are shades of grey within us all, sometimes we can't change our fundamental nature. It was even publicly broadcasted that it would be an entirely different beast to the first game, the magic and wonder has been replaced by an eternally bleakOnce more, users don't understand the concept of character development and what Part II is intending to do. It's not always black and white and there are shades of grey within us all, sometimes we can't change our fundamental nature. It was even publicly broadcasted that it would be an entirely different beast to the first game, the magic and wonder has been replaced by an eternally bleak and heart-wrenching tale of vengeance and darkness as it travels into the flawed nature of humanity and the repercussions of choosing revenge. It doesn't glorify violence and invites the player to feel bad about their actions as Ellie becomes further calcified by her survival instinct and hardened as her quest for retribution unravels. The original was about 'love' while this sequel tackles the topic of 'hate' which adds to the gloomy tone and devastating story.

    The graphics and character animations continue to push the envelope and test what studios are capable of and it looks like you're watching a movie, the amount of detail on the locations and foliage to the rundown areas of the country as we journey from more than one state giving it a much larger scope than the first game.

    Neil Druckmann outright said that 'fun' isn't the word he would use for Part II, it's a relentless endurance test that continuously beats you down and shows no mercy in displaying the grim reality which fits with the current state of society and that humans can be just as monstrous as the abominations from the Cordyceps outbreak.

    The voice acting and sharply written script helps make the characters believable and engaging and offers a sense of diversity by not conforming to the norm and showing acknowledgment of other communities like the masculine Abby who originally rubbed me the wrong way but Laura Bailey sells her performance.

    This isn't going to appeal to gamers who want things to stick to the status quo as this isn't intended to take the safe way out and a lot of things will happen that you don't like and it's entirely beyond your control. That doesn't suddenly mean the game is bad because it defies your expectations from the first game, it just shows that we're in a whole different weight class now and characters change. Joel had become consumed by hubris after taking on the Fireflies and fighting through the hospital to rescue Ellie that he found himself nigh on indestructible and his arrogance is his downfall which shares similarities with Walter White when he demands rival dealers to say his name and also, Rick Grimes when trying to take over Alexandria because he's already beaten his adversaries and thinks nothing can stop him.

    This is an entirely contrary to what you expect kind of game that grabs hold and doesn't let go and leaves a chilling indelible mark long after the 30 hour campaign.

    The leaks undeniably hurt the reception but people are blowing it way out of proportion and hold a rosy-colored view of the first game that they can't accept change or appreciate that it wasn't going to be the same. There's also edgelords who dislike Ellie's sexual orientation even though it was obvious in the first game with her tomboy look and her romantic experimentation with her friend Riley in the Left Behind DLC. There's also incels who despise strong female representation in media and slander the slightest things.

    Only you can really perceive how you feel but take off the nostalgia glasses for a moment and you'll see that Naughty Dog have raised the bar, yet again.

    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.
