    Best game ever! It was both moving and captivating. I've never posted a review and probably never will again unless you make a sequel, but I had to post in this case. Thank you for making this game and everything that it took to do it!

    Wonderful two-sided storytelling for both of Heroes and villains showing their consequences for the actions of both. Story devastated my heart and made me want to kill them all. But, yet by the end of it i grew and felt stronger and more mature after it.
    The game play was beautiful and the environments stood out. Congrats Naughty Dog

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is zero score. I had to give the maximum score to rate it properly, ZERO. For me, this game is a crime against humanity. It hurts really deep down all the fans that spent so many hours with Joel and Ellie.. and ecperienced so much.. creating a bond with the characters even.. and I think that this game is intended to hurt the people the most so they can call it "a masterpiece". If this game is their intelectual property... DO WE NOT HAVE RIGHTS to protect our mind and well being from this sad and trafic event in gaming history? The responsible for this game existence should know that his decisions will have an impact so negative in TLOU fans lifes.. I personally I was devastated.. and didnt feel well.. and notice many players stopped it right after Joel Death part.. its overwhelming...this shouldnt be allowed for people/fans/players to experience. I can't say anything anynore about this. Please, save yourself and do not give your money for this. Remember to choose wisely where you spend your money, it's like voting. A vote of faith. And they have broken fans/people/players faith, a lot of players will drop a tear as I did.. and stopped the video on youtube. All I hope for the rest of you, is stay safe until the end. Be happy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no issues with the graphics, the graphics, sound design, environments, Ai, all are beautifully crafted and designed, my flaws lie in the story, it felt rushed, poorly paced in places and Abby one of the playable characters, I struggled to sympathise with as she seemed to be comfortable with her fulfilled revenge, going as far as to slaughter her own men towards the middle climax at the theatre. She shows no conflicting emotions about her torturing of Joel. I feel if she had been fleshed out some more and shown to be a flawed Human being, then I would be rating this differently.
    I expected a even greater follow up to the masterpiece of last generation, however I was left with a feeling of hopelessness and a conflicted message. For Abby she gets revenge, a new purpose by the end of the game, and will likely have new friends in the fireflies. She also seems satisfied with most she does, even going as far as to tempt an old flame away from his Pregnant Girlfriend. For Ellie she struggles and gets destroyed me tall, physically and figurately stomped emotionally as she struggles with the morality of her choices. And is left with a bittersweet memory of what could have been.

    The marketing leading up to release had built my expectations to be an Joel and Ellie centred story. And It's false advertising to me, a Joel was in the game a total of an hour and 35 mins total.

    I really loved this game. I waited for over seven years in order to play the sequel to the original one and it was very well worth it. I cried for over an hour with the ending and during a critical plot point at the beginning. I was fortunate enough not to have the story spoiled for me beforehand but, even if I had, the leaked spoilers don't mean anything out of the context they areI really loved this game. I waited for over seven years in order to play the sequel to the original one and it was very well worth it. I cried for over an hour with the ending and during a critical plot point at the beginning. I was fortunate enough not to have the story spoiled for me beforehand but, even if I had, the leaked spoilers don't mean anything out of the context they are presented in the actual game.

    The graphics are great, borderline next-gen. The sound design is great and scary at times. The game-play is amazing and a fantastic evolution of the first game's, with many varied kinds of weapons, crafting materials and ways to approach both exploration and combat. Puzzles are ingenious and actually require thinking to solve, unlike the first game. The secrets and collectibles are very well hidden and are very rewarding to find and actually useful to your journey. The lore, the side stories and the people who live in this world are intriguing, deep and relatable. The animations are outstanding and very realistic. The artificial intelligence of the enemies and allies is impressive. The game is full of beautiful, realistic-looking landscapes, detailed models, but also very explicit gore and violent combat which I liked. The story is unique, mostly unpredictable, tense and very well told, the writers know really well how to curve your expectations and how to play with your emotions. It took me 39 hours to finish the game by playing slowly and carefully exploring every area I could, but even then I didn't find all the collectibles on my first play-through. I imagine you could finish it in 20 hours or so by only playing through the main objectives.

    The conservative snowflakes who got triggered that some characters are gay or whatever are blowing things way out of proportion. Those aspects of the characters aren't relevant to the overall plot, aren't their only defining characteristics, and the game doesn't even delve deep into those topics or into politics at all for that matter, not to mention that some of those aspects were already touched upon in the previous title's Left Behind expansion. Even if the game did push a political agenda (which it doesn't), that wouldn't necessarily, in my opinion, be a reason to negatively review the game. Let's be adults and learn to appreciate works of art for what they are, even if we disagree with the message. Most of the negative reviews I'm seeing here are from those kinds of people and from people who didn't even play the game and are just spreading hate for no logical reason.

    Some of the legitimate negative reviews I’ve read say that they didn't like the story, or the ending, or the tone of the plot, or that the actions of the characters didn't fit their established personalities, or even that they didn't like the events that happened to the characters in the game. I disagree with them but I somewhat understand where they are coming from.

    This is not an optimistic, lighthearted, cliche, money-grabbing, fan-serving sequel or a happy game at all, this is a gritty, deep, mature game with a sad, tragic, post-apocalyptic story which might not be everybody's cup of tea, I get it; but that doesn't mean that the game itself is bad or that the story is poorly written. I would even venture to assume that many of the people who didn't empathize with the motivations of the characters have yet to experience any major loss in their lives or are just not the kind of people who are prone to violence or trauma, or perhaps they simply weren't open enough to something other than what they internally expected the game to be.

    I didn't like that improved melee weapons don't work exactly as they did in the original game, where the added parts were spent first and had a separate durability than that of the main melee weapon. I liked the soundtrack a lot, especially the tracks that play during combat and tense sections but I feel like it was missing a more memorable and catchy main theme like the one the first game had. I am beyond disappointed that you don't get to visit the Space Needle, you see it at a distance and the characters even acknowledge it but you never get to go there. I've never been to Seattle but if you're going to set a game in there I feel like it is a huge missed opportunity not to include the most iconic landscape of the city in it. I am also a little disappointed that we didn't get to know more of the past of one of the main characters, perhaps that could be explored in a standalone expansion like the first game did with Left Behind. An improved multiplayer mode like on the first one would have been nice but it’s not a deal-breaker. I would also have done things differently at the very end of the game had I written the story or if I were the character but, as it is, it's still a powerful, strong closing to this amazing journey.

    The game is totally worth it, I strongly recommend it. Do not listen to the hate, play it and judge for yourself.    … Expand

After 3 days playing the game, I realized that I put myself on Ellie's and Abby's shoes from them moment I started the game, I felt every cut, every punch, every tear, I experienced all of it, I felt the consequences of my actions the more I kept playing and digging into this story, I felt for every character in this harsh journey of vengeance and sorrow and it still haunts me hours after i finished it. Few video games let me experience what The Last of Us and now Part 2 made me feel, and I'm grateful for Naughty God to bring this masterpiece to us, I agree that they made bold decisions and they definitely stirred the fandom, but in a good way in my opinion. This is not a story of heroes and villains, it's about people under terrible circumstances pushed by the anger in their hearts and learn (or not) how to deal with the consequences. Please don’t let mean reviews destroy your hopes to see this world unfold one more time, make your own choice inspired by positivity and inspired by your own heart, it’s really worth it.

    Horrible story decisions purely to virtue signal and play the I'm holier than thou card. its nothing more than pandering to the woke crowd, people that feel like everything is an attack and spend every waking hour trying to find something to be offended by so they can post it on social media to show everyone how much they care about others. I don't care if a story has LGBTQ+ characters inHorrible story decisions purely to virtue signal and play the I'm holier than thou card. its nothing more than pandering to the woke crowd, people that feel like everything is an attack and spend every waking hour trying to find something to be offended by so they can post it on social media to show everyone how much they care about others. I don't care if a story has LGBTQ+ characters in it we all exist we should be in games that's not what bothers me its the pandering and obvious story choices to branch the game off into a woke storyline. There is no way it would happen like that and it's obvious you did it only to turn the game into a trans gay game for praise.

    As far am I'm concerned "The last of us part II" isn't the same universe as part 1 nothing that happens in this game is a continuation of the story this is nothing more than woke fanfiction. It's not canon and the story has concluded at the end of the first game. Hopefully, someone with a brain will make a mod or an unofficial second part that plays the story out farther in a realistic way. Just change the character names and looks a little and finish the story properly.

    You guys did this for the virtue points and money but you haven't figured out that the woke crowd doesn't actually buy things. They only **** about things and then instantly move on to the next thing they find that can display their fake outrage. They don't have time to play 30-hour games, they spend every hour not at work searching for something they perceive as offensive. They live to post on twitter so they can make sure everyone knows how caring and how much better of a person they are than you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *spoilers within* I absolutely loved this game, I am currently playing new game ++ and I still cannot get enough. The gameplay is, quite frankly, incredible and feels extremely realistic. Lots of new things have been added to help with stealth, getting around and combat. You can go go prone and hide under cars and in tall grass, lay trap mines and climb to use height as your advantage. Enemies are smarter than ever, they can surround you, use dogs to track you and use stealth to surprise you. It makes it even more challenging and exciting. The environment is absolutely gorgeous and the sound is just amazing, I cannot get enough of it. The infected have been greatly improved upon and are more terrifying and dangerous than ever. The infected boss battle is probably one of the most terrifying and exciting boss battles I have ever played and there is also a part where you have to make your way through a collapsed and dangerous hotel with infected growing into the wall. The story is completely different to the first one, there has been a lot of criticism (unfair I would say) of this, with some people getting to the first part, stopping and then **** about it on the internet. I admit, I was upset at the way the story was heading initially, however, I powered through and absolutely fell in love with it. There are very few games out there that let you play against the ‘good guys’ and grow to emphasise and even adore the villain. I use the words ‘villain’ and ‘good guys’ loosely here, no-one is a hero or villain in the last of us world, Joel did some terrible things, as has Ellie and so has Abby. There is one part in the game where you have to play as the villain and fight the ‘good guy’ who you have grown to love over the past two games. The concept is risky but I think it has really paid off here. All in all I’d give the game a solid 10 out of 10.

    I cannot wait for factions 2 and hope to god there is a last of us part 3 at some point.    … Expand

And this feeling accompanied me for the rest of the game. It wasn’t a bad feeling but it was something different. The gameplay was spot on if you liked the mechanics of the first one you will love this game too. There were exactly 2 scenes/events that happened that i didn’t quite understand why they had put in. Nevertheless i enjoyed the game and i plan on playing it again soon. If you are a fan of the first one you should give it a shot and if you are scared about the abby parts don’t be she is a well developed character and i doubt you getting bored.

    To appreciate the storyline you have to be a mature person, so if you are not save your money and don't write unnecessary reviews.

    - GAMEPLAY The gameplay is just awesome. Naughty Dog has mixed the gameplay mechanics of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, added new animations and made everything faster and smoother. You have the impression of being in a movie. I tried doing things like    To appreciate the storyline you have to be a mature person, so if you are not save your money and don't write unnecessary reviews.

    - GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay is just awesome. Naughty Dog has mixed the gameplay mechanics of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, added new animations and made everything faster and smoother. You have the impression of being in a movie. I tried doing things like jumping over an enemy from a roof and it actually worked. The silenced gun allows you new tactics, for example you can grab one enemy, threaten another with the gun and kill both silently. These things are not explained, so you have to find out for yourself and I find it simply amazing.
    There are multiple enemies, with different guns, abilities etc. Dogs make stealth missions more interesting.
    Now you can jump, lie down, go under a car or hide in grass so there are more possibilities to defeat enemies.
    Often the areas are very large, making the game a kind of mini open world.

    - GRAPHICS
    I played the game on standard PS4 and the graphics are just amazing. It looks like a new gen videogame. The level design is awesome, every house is different from the others. Facial expressions and animations are the best ever made in a video game so far, it makes it more realistic and makes you identify even more in the story.

    - STORYLINE
    If you expect the usual story where the protagonist saves everyone and becomes a hero then don't buy it. The story takes up some themes from the first The Last of Us, such as the fact that nobody is perfect, everyone is human. Joel and Ellie may be heroes for us, but they are enemies of other people. To emphasize this, they show us the story from other perspectives.
    The main theme is revenge. But it is much more complicated than that. It is the description of human psychology and its evolution over the course of events. The narrative, as for the first chapter, is spectacular
    I don't say anything else to avoid spoilers

    - A. I.
    Alive. The world is simply alive.
    The enemies talk to each other, communicate, look for us, despair if one of their companions dies or if they are injured. When you kill someone, you feel it on your conscience. It is so realistic.
    Dogs simply act like real dogs.
    Your travel companions are real, they talk to you and keep you company. You never feel like you're in a video game.
    The only stupid beings (deliberately) are the infected, which do not reflect and appear clumsy.

    - SOUND
    I finished the game and am continuing to hear the music of the game on spotify. Perhaps for personal tastes I preferred those of the first chapter, but these are perfect for this darker video game.
    Ambient sounds are made with impressive precision and quality. If you have surround headphones, use them and you will realize that what you have in front of you is not a video game, but a real world.

    - DETAILS
    Details are the things that make a great video game, a masterpiece. They might not have put the squirrel on the tree, the rat in the bathroom or the floating plastic bag carried by the wind. But they did it.
    If you kill someone on the snow, the blood is absorbed by it and, being hot, it melts it.
    I tried to get on one thing (I can't say what) completely by chance, and there was a real cutscene for this. An impressive attention to detail
    There are other details that I let you discover for yourself, also because some of them are real spoilers.

    - CONCLUSION
    In my opinion, The Last of Us Part II is at least the game of the generation.
    It may not be a game suitable for everyone, but if you love a powerful storyline, full of emotions, surrounded by an exceptional technical sector and gameplay, then it is the right game for you.

Which is good, because I didn't need to relearn some new difficult controls. The story is ok. I mean I definitely didn't expect that. I am a bit disappointed. Just a bit. But otherwise, the storyline is brutal. I didn't expect it to get so dark since the first part is mostly about Ellie's and Joel's relationship. If you don't like violence and extreme brutality, the this game is not for you. But otherwise I enjoyed killing everyone. I like that they added some new killing ways. And I think that people shouldn't be so mad at the game and the developers. I think its a beautiful experience.

    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.
