    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing THE LAST OF US PART II it took me a while to find the right words to review this game.
    Having not read any leaks, this story is not what I expected, but that's exactly what makes this game so powerful! Naughty Dog plays with all your emotions - and at one point you might think to yourself "I don't want to do this anymore".
    But this is not simply a story of revenge and hate, it's a story of love, rage, loss, and - above all - forgiveness.

    Yes, killing of one of the two main characters is not what we wanted to see, but it shows us, that this post-apocalyptic world is relentless and every decision has its consequences. This is not only true for Joel - his decision to save Ellie at the end of Part 1 dooms humanity, makes Ellie eventually hate him and ultimately kills him - but also for Ellie.

    How much are you willing to risk to get your revenge? For Ellie the answer to this question seems to be "everything". And only "everything" is good enough to travel through this harsh and cruel world. Yes, Joel's death was a punch in every gamers face, but it was necessary.
    For a long time he was Ellie's "everything", the only one who cared for her. Think about that scene in the first game when she says "Everyone I have cared for has either died, or left me. **** except for you!" - she had no one, and now her "father" is gone.
    The flashbacks during THE LAST OF US PART II help us to understand their relationship in the past few years. The amazing museum-sequence shows us how full of love this relationship is, yet other flashbacks let us see Ellie's scepticism about Joel's firefly-lie and her absolute disappointment when she finds out the truth.
    These flashbacks are crucial to the emotional roller coaster this game is - and they are crucial to understand how everything plays out in the end.

    Having to play as Abby for a big part of the game was frustrating, seemed unnecessary at times and even made me angry. it felt like Naught Dog wanted you to like this person - and I wasn't ok with that at first. But without knowing her story, getting to know her character and intentions, she would have been just another villain. Yet her story is quite similar to Ellie's.

    But while Abby seems to become more and more humane, Ellie's development goes the other way.
    Losing Joel fills her with so much hate that she seems to have no mercy for anyone. She kills everyone who tries to get in her way, not even hesitating to use torture. The lovely, intelligent and nimble-witted teenager turns into an almost emotionless killing machine. And when she throws away her life with Dina on the farm, the character we once loved seems to have vanished. But this final seek for revenge is her only way to find closure.

    And this final payoff is probably not enough for many gamers.
    But fighting Abby to absolute exhaustion and seeing Abby's and Lev's suffering is all Ellie needs to find closure - to be humane again. At this point she might not find forgiveness for Abby but for Joel.
    And Ellie sitting at the beach, crying, was the most gut-wrenching moment I've seen in a long time.

    Over all, the plot could've been more pleasing, since some major plot decision seem to be pointless, but I think in the end, it fits together beautifully and tells a human story that is full of emotions. it had me crying in the end - and what more do you want from a video game?
    Everyone can write a happy ending, but choosing to go the difficult road elevates this this game to a new level.

    Gameplay: as fun as the first game. Some great new additions: crawling, silencer, different training manuals...
    Graphics: stunning. Every detail looks amazing and especially the characters look extremely realistic. Also superb acting - another wonderful performances by Ashley Johnson.
    Music & sound: the music plays a big part in making this game so emotional. Best moment is probably Ellie singing "Take on me".

    For me it's an absolute masterpiece!    … Expand

    Going in completely blind with no leaks or spoilers made this a great experience for me. Keep an open mind on the story. The graphics are best in class, and the gameplay is much improved over part 1. Loved the majority of my time with this game. Feels like Empire Strikes Back and hopefully we'll be getting a Part 3.

This story is one that takes time, its uncomfortable, emotionally taxing, at times light and joyful and others gut wrenchingly sad. The graphics are incredible. Level design is varied and interesting. The sound design is perfection. Game play is very similar to the first game with a few welcome inclusions.

    There are many people who have missed the point entirely, they have confused "This is a story I didn't want" with "bad storytelling". Make no mistake, this is a masterclass in storytelling. It delivers an emotional punch that no other media has managed to date. All I can say is buy the game, play for yourself and see.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game today. I really loved the story and found it to be very emotional and moving. I went in blind... never read any of the spoilers or leaks so everything was surprising a new. Honestly, I can see why people didn't want this fate for Joel and Ellie but it doesn't make me love them any less. Dramatically, having Ellie lose Joel is heartbreaking and is really the only thing that could drive her on her single minded quest. It gave the story unexpected weight and consequence that I never expected.

    And, yes, the decision to have you play as Abby really was challenging at first... but I did come to love her as her stay progressed. She and Ellie are more than people seeking revenge... that would be too simple... these are people suffering from severe PTSD and their only way to deal with it is to hack and slash through their nightmare world.

    The scope of the story and set pieces are as amazing as everyone has said. The combat is as fun as the original and even smoother.... really inspired to play through and again and to master the weapons and combat even further.

    Like a great book, I already miss being in this world with these characters... can't wait to see what Naughty Dog does next.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been excited about Part 2 since the first game came out. I was quick to defend the game before it even came out, and I made sure to play the entire game before forming any opinions. And honestly? Disappointed is an understatement. The gameplay, the visuals, the soundtrack, were all amazing. The story on the other hand was needlessly miserable. It was hollow and empty, convoluted and contradictory. What I loved most about the first game was Joel and Ellie, and their love for each other. What I loved was the story about finding hope and love and family in dark times. The second game destroys everything the first game built up. Joel dies immediately, a decision so jarring and horrible that I had a hard time continuing to play afterwards. The only scenes with Joel and Ellie together are flashbacks. I think I may have been able to stomach the rest of the story, if not for several facts. For starters, more than half of the game is played as Joel's killer. The game tries to make you understand, to let you empathize, but I couldn't. We had an entire game to get to know and love Joel and Ellie. We watched Abby murder Joel, and then we're expected to fall in love with her later. It was hard. I couldn't do it. Another thing that I found to be lazy and unfortunate was the handling of character deaths in the story. Every single character who died did so in an abrupt and often times unnecessary way. In the first game, there was always something to foreshadow or warn of an impending death. The Last of Us Part 2 relies soley on shock factor. My third issue is with the way the characters were written. Often times I found it hard to recognize the characters. Tommy especially was contradictory in the most jarring way. In the first half of the game, he seemed like the Tommy we all knew and loved from the first game. But by the end he had a sudden change, contradicting his character from the beginning of the very same game! Fourthly, our biggest conflicts from the first game were given little to no attention in the second game and I found no closure. There are several scenes of Ellie questioning Joel's decision to save her at the hospital, and one scene of her discovering the truth. It was not enough, and it was all handled poorly. The ending of the game is brutal for no reason. There is no satisfaction. There is nothing to comfort you, or to make you feel like your time playing the game was spent well. It is hollow. It is lonely. It is needlessly miserable. My disappointment for the story of this game is heartbreaking. The first game was one that I found I could play over and over again. The second game is one I'm not sure that I can ever play again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand the hate. I love this game. It's one of the best games I have ever played. I'm on my second play-through. I probably played through the original six or seven times.

    To address some of the complaints you may be hearing:

    Yeah, Joel dies and it sucks, but, that's a crappy world they live in and I'm surprised that he stayed alive for that long.

    Plot holes? The story is a bit complicated, with multiple timelines, but I didn't notice any holes in the plot. I am a bit confused as to why people are confused.

    Like many of the people on here, I too was apprehensive at first playing with Abby. However, by the end of the game I began to understand her and respect the writers' message despite them killing off one of my favorite video game characters. At least he didn't get infected. That would have really sucked.

    I do not think that Naught Dog has some sort of SJW agenda. This game included characters of all types. It's kind of like how the world is right now. What's wrong with that?

    The violence...Well, the game is violent, super violent, and I understand that it could turn some people off, but it didn't bother me at all. I'm also a former paramedic and now an ER nurse so I have seen death and the aftermath of violence for many years. I'm probably desensitized.

    The visuals are absolutely amazing. I am spending a good portion of my second play-through taking screenshots attempting to be some kind of photographer in the game. It turns out that I am just as awful of a photographer in video games as I am in real life.

    I think the gameplay was great, and improved, zero complaints, but I am also used to the gameplay from the first game.

    My only complaints to Naughty Dog: Stop being so stingy with the tape! I need to make more arrows!

    All in all, I give the game a 10/10 and I stand by it. You may not agree, but, one of the cool things about this world is that you don't have to agree. For those that have yet to play it, give it a shot. It's a game. It's a story. It's an experience. And it will definitely leave you thinking.    … Expand

This game **** on the relationship of Joel and ellie, joel gets killed in the first 2 hours and then we play as abby the one who killed him for 10 hours and naughty dog expects us to sympathize with her i'm sorrg but i can't force myself to like her. The leaks were worse than i thought the ending is **** cause ellie just lets abby live. But there are a few good moments in the game especially the flashbacks i loved the flashbacks and idk why the writing here is so bad because neil wrote this and the first one.

The graphics are fantastic, and the facial animations often look extremely real.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The short version is that I really enjoyed this game despite its flaws. It's not perfect, but I don't think it deserves the ire that it's receiving.

    Let's start with the bad.

    Inconsistent gameplay:
    - I came across a few bugs, the worst one being an animation glitch where Abby kept trying to draw her weapon and ended up looking like she was having a seizure. There were also a few times where Ellie teleported across a door to open it or got stuck in an animation while opening a drawer or cupboard.
    - The platforming is pretty bad. Considering Naughty Dog's experience with Nathan Drake, I expected better. The jumping feels slow and unresponsive, and many of the platforming puzzles require you to sprint and take off at the end of a ledge.
    - Stealth mechanics could have used a bit more polish. There were a couple of times where I was crouched behind a wall, completely out of view, but then suddenly the combat indicator went off without warning. Thankfully these issues weren't super common, but the couple of times they popped up came as a nasty surprise.

    Storyline:
    - It's a long game, the middle portions really drag on, and pacing feels all over the place at times. This is most apparent when you switch to Abby after 10+ hours of playing, and the game feels the need to reeducate you on how to craft items and toggle your flashlight. Also, I'm not a big fan of flashbacks within flashbacks. It just feels like sloppy storytelling to either retcon something or to make the player empathize with the character without earning it.
    - Too many characters and not enough development made me wonder, "Who cares?" Abby's crew consists of Owen, Mel, Nora, and Manny. Owen gets a decent backstory and Manny brings a few moments of levity that add some personality to his story, but the rest of them feel like cardboard cutouts. I actually forgot who Nora was when I got to Abby's storyline because she was such a minor character.
    - Kill hundreds, spare one. Similar to the Uncharted series, The Last of Us Part II struggles with the moral gray zone of its protagonists mindlessly mowing down hundreds of people and balking at the idea of killing one more person. With Lev watching Abby, it made sense, but Ellie giving up on her revenge mission after sacrificing her family, her friends, and even herself (or at least her fingers) felt a little weak to me. I get that not all endings should be satisfying, especially for bad people who do bad things, but it did feel like they were setting Ellie up for some kind of redemption arc only to let her return "home" to an empty farm.

    Alright, so now let's talk about the good.

    Graphics:
    - It's genuinely one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The setpieces are incredible, and the water effects both while swimming and in the rain are breathtaking. Artistically it sets a new bar for games.

    New Mechanics:
    - Ellie and Abby's new agility made for some genuinely tense and exciting gunfights. I typically favor stealthy builds, but this game forced me to play more aggressively with less predictable enemy routes, dogs that can sniff you out, and far more limited resources. Many of the arenas also had a lot of verticality, so I found myself constantly finding angles or flanking enemies. The gunplay feels familiar but polished, and the cat-and-mouse evasion routes didn't get old for me even after 25+ hours.
    - The rope physics are really cool! It's not a very prevalent element of the puzzles, but the "Aha!" moments of using wires to climb something felt super satisfying.

    Plot:
    - Alright, let's talk about the plot. Abby murders Joel in front of Ellie's eyes. It's a visceral, gruesome moment. Since I avoided spoilers, it came as a huge shock to me, but it didn't feel cheap or shoehorned in. It felt like the culmination of all the people he killed to get to his happy ending in Jackson. I believe after 4 years of living a comfortable life and watching Ellie grow up, he got a little soft and even learned to trust people. You're talking about a guy who cleared out a whole museum wing just so Ellie could sit in a capsule and listen to an audio recording of a shuttle taking off. He changed a lot.
    - To anyone complaining about roping in political, SJW plotlines, remember that Ellie "came out" during the Left Behind DLC. If you're a true fan of the series, you'd know that. And the bits about Lev - His character shows the most development besides Abby and Ellie, and it feels earned. If they wanted a superficial trans character added to their game, they would have made it Nora or Danny or some other random person, and they certainly wouldn't have given them an entire chapter of the game.

    All this is to say that I enjoyed my time with the game. Do I love the direction they chose for all the characters? Not necessarily, but I respect their decision, and I think the story is impactful and powerful. If you really believe it deserves a 0/10, you must not play many games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the game. I enjoyed the story. I learned to like Abby. It's not the popular opinion, but this was an enjoyable game for me all-around. The story kept me invested despite the twists, and I found the internal struggles of the protagonists to be really interesting. I found charm and humor, and a solid 30 hours of entertainment. I don't like that Sony tried to silence people discussing the leaks. I don't like that they tried to strongarm content creators. I don't like that forced reviews of only 40% of the story were the status quo.

    But I enjoy the game. It made me feel. It made me think. I understood what the characters were going through. I felt for Abby. I understood why she hated Joel. I understood that while playing with Joel made him my hero, I. Abby's world he represented evil and hate. Is this a generic message? Yes. It doesn't change it is an idea that has been prevalent in discussing our humanity, and has been since the beginning of time. Ellie's decision at the end made her strong. Joel made her strong. Abby wasn't just a heartless killer, she showed more compassion to Ellie than Abby ever showed her. Maybe it upsets people that Ellie would be presented in such a sadistic way, but the fact remains that Abby showed her a restrain and compassion that Ellie didn't show Abby until the very end. The end represented Ellie holding on to a little of the humanity that Joel sacrificed himself to save.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Acabo de jugarlo y sinceramente me pareció genial, la ambientación, la jugabilidad, las nuevas mecánicas, es increíble lo bien logrado que está el juego, la gente tiene problemas con la historia, la mayoría opina sin haberlo jugado o haber visto el final en un vídeo de youtube, a lo largo del juego se demuestra con ciertas simbolizaciones como Ellie sufre de estrés postraumatico despues de presenciar la muerte de Joel, y ella pensaba que la única manera de conseguir paz es a través de la venganza, lo cual al final se da cuenta de que esa no es la salida, la vision de Joel al final representa esa ultima pizca de humanidad que le quedaba a Ellie, por eso decide dejarla viva y perdornarla, porque matando a Abby no obtendría la paz que buscaba, lo mismo se percibe cuando controlamos a Abby, los pesadillas en el hospital siguen a pesar de que ella ya habia matado a Joel, sino hasta cuando decide salvar la vida de los hermanos Serafitas que ella logra calmar sus sueños, por eso el ultimo sueño que tiene del hospital es con su papá vivo, el juego hay que jugarlo con perspectiva neutra, ni Ellie ni Abby son los buenos, sino que todos son los malos, como jugador es obvio que estaremos a favor de Ellie por ser la protagonista del primer juego junto a Joel, pero viendo desde la perspectiva de Abby, Ellie es la malvada porque mató a casi toda su gente y todos sus amigos, y lo mismo desde la perspectiva de Ellie, el juego requiere cierta madurez para jugarlo y no es un videojuego dirigido para todos, para los que buscan la típica historia del bien venciendo al mal y todos felices, es por eso que me gusta tanto el juego, porque se arriesgaron al elaborarla y les quedó una obra maestra, Ellie se obsesionó tanto con su venganza que se quedó sin nada, lo perdió todo, la ultima conversacion con Joel y la ultima escena dejando la guitarra que le regaló significa que ella ya está lista para dejar atrás todo lo que vivió en esa etapa, ya está lista para madurar y seguir adelante, en cuanto a contenido no tengo quejas, los lugares bien diseñados y ambientados, la pelea con el jefe del hospital es brutal y el mini rework a los infectados especialmente a los gordinflones son de lo mejor, en resumen, lo recomiendo si buscas una historia profunda, madura, y realista, escapa de los clichés como había mencionado antes, si esperabas una historia del bien venciendo a mal, todos felices y a casa, no lo recomiendo.

    I've never before experienced a video game that was so amazing yet so emotionally corrosiv at the same time. TLOU2 is a masterpiece in ever sense of the word.

TLOU2 won me over in a completely different way than the first, with its humanity, terror and emotion. This game blew past my expectations and has taken the first ones place as my favorite video game.

    Gameplay is smooth, fun and more challenging than the first one. All in all the same basic mechanic with a few new features. Plays well and this story has a lot more horror than the first one that only added to my experience. The only downfall is I felt a section or 2 of the game had slight pacing issues but nothing that was blaring or took away from my experience.

It pains me because the game is getting so much backlash for the sole reason of Abby's flashbacks being poorly timed, THATS THE ONLY REASON IT HAS HATE. I loved the story, and especially the end fight in the water, I think that the meaning and messages are being overlooked, and that's why people dont like it. It obviously can't be better than the first game, sequels never are, but the 8/10 would've been a 9.6/10 but the placement of Abby's flashbacks just wasn't timed well.

    The Last of Us 2 is a good game - putting aside the most divisive factor, the story, you're still left with one of the best games for the PS4 era.

It is clearly a labor of love fromThe Last of Us 2 is a good game - putting aside the most divisive factor, the story, you're still left with one of the best games for the PS4 era. Incredible graphics, fluid and dynamic game play utilizing the best in motion matching and animation, as well as an incredible display of sound design, level design and detail, features and accessibility. It is clearly a labor of love from Naughty Dog, and the best technically from the studio. Aside from a couple of small gripes and issues (such as not being able to switch shoulders when not aiming), it's as close to perfection as you can realistically get.

    In the story department, rather than rehash the first games story into another version of itself as many fans might expect, the game uses the fundamental interactive nature of video games to do something different and risky - use the player's emotions against them in a sort of meta analysis on the tribalistic nature of mankind, loss and grief, as well as the player's own perspective in this story. I can't help but be compelled to draw comparisons between the pain Ellie feels of being robbed of a chance to reconnect with a loved one, with the pain many player's feel of being robbed of the potential connection they were hoping to have with this game based on their expectations.

    The story sets up many assumptions, and then through perspective switching and flashbacks, asks you to question what you "know": will Ellie really achieve what she sets out to accomplish; what makes a "bad" person, bad; what separates "us" from "them"; is tribalism inherit or learned; and finally - is forgiveness more powerful than revenge?

    Many will say the story is bad, or has plot holes, or is just pandering to an audience - I disagree (mostly because nobody has been able to clearly articulate why these conclusions are true). But even if these things are true, the story deserves praise for being different and daring to try something radical with a medium that is fundamentally more powerful than anything traditionally. I suspect that much of the hate the game is receiving is based on this expectation of normalcy shattered by an attempt to wrench the player through a traumatic experience - an experience that many may unwilling to examine past the initial shock, which many may be trying to pin on the game itself, rather than what's it's trying to communicate.

    Many hate this game simply for not being what they want it to be. That's fine - because not all media is designed to be what you want, and I think that's great.

    Given the impact it's already had a mere 6 days after release, I'm excited to see what kinds of discussions this game generates moving into the future.    … Expand

    The hate surrounding this game is idiotic. The story and characters are superbly written, music is great, and the have been some improvements to combat. If the game was a bit shorter, had more new combat elements, and had less bugs it'd be perfect. It is arguably as good or better than its predecessor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished this game, and this may have some minor spoilers in it.

    To start, the original Last of Us was one of my favorite games of all time. I replayed the game a couple weeks before Part II came out so it'd be fresh. I highly recommend doing that.

    Let's talk about what this game does well. First, I think the story as a whole was pretty good. Some people would say that the story-telling was poorly done, but I think it was fine. The story is told in a non-linear fashion, but I generally didn't have a problem piecing things together. Wasn't perfect, but I'll get more into that later. Overall, I'd give the story itself an 8/10.

    Another thing the game does well is the gameplay. Besides the larger world with more parts for exploration of supplies and collectibles, the gameplay, especially that of the combat system, was mostly the same as the original game. The game also adds the ability to jump and climb up ropes, which adds more verticality to the game than the original had. I would give the gameplay an 9/10.

    Now let's talk about what the game doesn't do well. First, I felt the pacing was very poorly done. The game is 25 hours long, but it felt way longer than that. After the halfway point, it started to feel like a never-ending slog. Once I got to the main Abby portion, the story had answered most of the main questions I had early on, so I didn't feel like the Abby portion added much to the story. I didn't really care for Abby that much, probably because she killed Joel at the beginning. Seeing Abby do that created such hard feelings against her that even seeing her side of things in nauseating detail wasn't enough to overcome that. As a result, you end up being forced to play as a character you don't like for 12 hours. Had the game had her kill Joel at a point in the game after we had seen her story, we may have empathized with her more. Nonetheless, it felt like parts of the game were way too drawn out, such that in the second half of the game, I felt myself just wanting to get to where I needed to go to finish the game... only to run into yet another group of enemies. It started making the gameplay and combat feel repetitive and stale. I'd give pacing a 2/10.

    The second thing that could've done better is balance. I played the game on moderate difficulty. Played Part 1 on hard. I'd give the first game a 10/10 in balance. Perhaps this was intentional, but this game was much harder to stealth than the first installation. Maybe that was the game's way of forcing the violence onto you. The enemy placement was such that many times, it was nearly impossible to stealth kill one enemy without another seeing you and triggering an all out gun fight. To add to that, I felt that the raw number of enemies per encounter was more, such that many times I felt that there were simply too many enemies. I felt far too often that the game threw these giant hordes of enemies without giving you a reasonable way of avoiding them or stealth killing most of them. Consequently, each enemy encounter was far more exhausting than enemy encounters in the first game. These encounters quickly made me feel burnt out from the combat which was only exacerbated by the poor pacing of the game and the annoyance of running into yet another giant horde of enemies. It quickly felt like many enemy hordes were there only to extend the length of the game and the game's content. The spacing of enemy encounters felt poorly done too - sometimes there would be long stretches without enemies (which I'm not complaining about), or you'd run into a giant horde right after clearing another giant horde. I understand that Naughty Dog was trying to create an over-the-top, violent experience, but it's not fair to ask players to go through that, AND have an overly long experience on top of that. I'd give balance a 3/10.

    Overall, this game had the potential to be a 9/10. Maybe even a 9.5/10. The story I felt was good enough for that to happen. But the pacing and balance issues were too much to overlook in my case, so I'd give this game 6.5/10.    … Expand

The game reminded you that it is the character's choice not the player's choice. It forces you to make decisions that you may never agree with. Puts you into the shoes of the person you would think you would have no empathy for and manages to take you from the side of Ellie to put you in between the conflict between Abby and Ellie. The game is not supposed to leave you satisfied, its supposed to leave you thinking, you're not supposed to agree with Ellie's choice to spare Abby, you're supposed to disagree and think about Ellie's choice. Ellie never got to forgive Joel like she wanted to, and sparing Abby was a way for her to do that. Joel's decision not only took Ellie's death away from her but took Abby's life away from her. If Ellie felt like she couldn't forgive Joel, she understood that Abby couldn't either. And because Abby never had a bond with Joel, Ellie knew that Abby would resent him. Ellie understood Abby and Abby understood Ellie, which is shown when Abby offered to help in the end. They took from each other, and one of both of them ended their cycle of violence. That's what this game is about. The cycle of violence and how it goes full circle, and how forgiveness breaks that circle… Expand

This games story is honestly one of the worst sequels of all time they turn geole in to a **** plot device abby is made out to be the protagonist and we are made to feel sorry for her. But we only have motivation to hate her she is a ruthless and sadistic character. She has no reason to be liked and viewed as a hero of the story when she is clearly the villain . not to mention the copious amounts of sences from trailers that are completely different in the game basiclly scaming people who wanted to see hella and Ellie do there **** . over all this games story is a absolute train wreck and not the good kind. Don't buy this… Expand

    Wether you love the story or you hate it, you have to appreciate what Naughty Dog was trying to do, making the player see tragedy from both sides. The level design and environment detail is so amazing, I have no desire to now ever visit Seattle. The combat can become repetitive, and the first chapter in Seattle drags on way too long. But after that thgame really get moving.

    Amazing gameplay, visuals, and amazing cinematic experience. It is great that a beloved game can have such a masterpiece as a sequel. I think that is rare.
    It is a shame that this game is getting bombed on here because of insecure bigots. Goodness, grow up.

    It reminds me of The Godfather part 3, while it is a very good game the fact that the predecessor was a masterpiece really left fans disappointed.

    The last of us 2 has better combat and really good looking graphics but the story just wasn't as great as the first one in my first opinion. It's an okay game. By the way i hate what they did with Ellie's character in the end .

    This is a visually stunning game that seamlessly blends combat and action with the rest of the gameplay, making every encounter feel fluid and interesting.

The story isn't for everyone--I have to admit, I had some complaints while playing--but I warmed up to it, and, in the end, I loved it more than the first installment. It forces the player to understand and sympathize with the person who wronged Ellie, and it does a fantastic job of making you care for both the protagonist and antagonist. Another thing is that Ellie is a fantastic lead character. The way she fights is desperate and brutal, and it really adds to her persona as a total badass. Anyone complaining about an "SJW agenda" is just immature and needs to realize that gay people exist and that they're normal people. So I recommend this game more than anything for its story because that is the most important part of the game, but I don't think the wild twists and turns will please everyone. Its visuals, combat, and cinematic scenes make it worthy of a purchase in opinion, though.… Expand

    This game is not what fans of the first game were expecting. And that is equal parts frustrating, heartbreaking, exciting and.... I can’t put my finger on what else. And I think that says all it needs to say. After completing the game, I’m at a loss on how I feel. But I feel SOMETHING very strong. In a good way.

    The game is intense in many ways. Not sure if it is better than the first one but still more complex with very different enviroments to explorer (besides the excess of coffe shops).
    Good game, nice acting, goode action, new different enemies and a lot of spoilers

I'll admit things sort of dragged on when first playing as a different character but as their story progressed I got more interested in their gameplay. I feel like people who are mad about the ending don't really get the point of the story or what Ellie's going through. Whether that's the developers and/or players fault, I don't know, but this game really doesn't deserve the hate it's getting.… Expand

    For the most part, I am enjoying The Last of Us: Part II but it is sadly not my Game of the Year for 2020.

    To begin with, Naughty Dog pushes the PS4's hardware to the limit as the game looks absolutely amazing (played on PS4 Pro) with beautiful, realistic environments, fantastic lighting and life-like characters. The inclusion of a photo mode is a great addition.

    The game play has improved, with new abilities such as jumping, climbing and going prone to crawl. These additions are not ground breaking or unique and we have seen them in other games before, but their inclusion does improve the overall experience, especially stealth. The combat and stealth mechanics work well and I had a lot of fun with the stealth segments.

    I also appreciate that pills, or supplements, used to buy new skills and upgrade abilities, becomes more common to find, especially considering that now, you have access to multiple skill-trees. The environments are also quite large, offering multiple paths and optional areas to explore. The music is also a delight, a mix between calm and beautiful, to eerily uncomfortable.

    The characters are all performed well by their respective actors, and while the overall story is competent, it is not nearly as strong as the previous Last of Us, released in 2013. I find that, despite some of the performances, I just did not care at all about some of the characters.

    My biggest problem with The Last of Us: Part II was that the A.I. partners would frequently get in my way, disallowing me the ability to move where I needed to go. This was especially frustrating in hostile environments, such as trying to hide from an enemy about to spot me (one of my A.I partners would be blocking the path), or when I tried to seek cover, an A.I partner may unintentionally block me from cover, resulting in me being seen, getting shot etc. This wouldn't normally be that annoying, or maybe I'm just unlucky, but it happened in almost every combat encounter I experienced, when I had an A.I partner with me.

    The game is quite lengthy, averaging anywhere from 20 - 30 hours to complete, depending on your chosen difficulty, how good you are at the game, and if you're using guides or not. This is kind of a good and kind of a bad thing. Some people may appreciate the longer time, giving them more of a story they might enjoy, while some might feel that the game can overstay its welcome at times and become repetitive, which is what I found. I like long games, but with formula of The Last of Us: Part II, it might be a little too long for my taste. It's also a massively sized game, a physical copy of the title comes on two discs, a data disc and a play disc, and the install for on a PS4 is 95GB, so you better free up some space r get yourself an external hard drive.

    There is also a New Game Plus mode, which allows you to replay the game with all of your acquired weapons, weapon-upgrades and skills, albeit the difficulty will be slightly increased higher to accommodate for your advantage.

    I think The Last of Us: Part II is a good game and I don't believe it deserves all the hate it's receiving, but I also don't agree with fans claiming that it's the perfect game. It's pretty good, but it's sadly not mind blowing. I thought the first game was incredible and it was certainly my favourite game of 2013, so perhaps my expectations for this game were a little too high.

    If you're a fan of The Last of Us, and/or if you enjoy action games with stealth, then you'll probably like this.

    The gameplay is fantastic, but the storyline doesn't support it. Nevertheless, it must still be a great work.

    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]
