    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely the Last Jedi of video games. It subverted almost every expectation i had for this game. We can all agree the soundtrack and graphics are AMAZING, especially considering this game is running on console, but the story is where everyone is divided. It took me roughly 17 hours to beat and when the credits started to role i felt DISGUSTED! "what game did i just play? What was the point in all of this. Nothing was achieved by anything that i had done on my journey to the end."

    But then i went to bed and thought about it. I thought about it a lot. I was so affected emotionally by how it made me feel i didn't realise how much it got to me. As Neil Druckmann stated, "the first game is about love, this game is about hate". I didn't hate it because it was poorly written, cause its not, i hated it because i wasn't thinking it from every characters perspective.

    When playing the second act of the game as Abby, all i was thinking about was "why in gods green earth am i playing as someone i absolutely loathe AND FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG! What game did i pay for?" i asked myself. But then as her arch went on I understood her head space, it got to the point i even questioned why i loved joel so much to begin with. Context also, last of us one is my favorite game ever, so much so i bought the custom PS4 pro and collectors edition. I could see where Abby is coming from, just as much as i could see where Ellie was coming from. I read a lot of people saying this game has tarnished the legacy of such a beloved character (being Joel), but the way i see it, it made you see the flaws in the people you love. Something a lot of people have a hard time doing even in their own personal lives. This game brought me to a place emotionally no other game has before, which is why i rate it so highly. If you have only seen the leaks without context, i highly recommend you play it as it really can only be defined by the overall journey and the context brought to light because of it.

    And i know most of you haven't played it cause when I beat it, i was one of 0.5% of people who owned the game who had done so. You trying to tell me 36k people make up 0.5% of the game??? im gonna hit F to doubt.

    I didn't give it a 10/10 because of how misleading the marketing was, and not for the reasons you think. I was so not onboard playing as Abby cause i did not get myself into the head space to do so. If it even slightly alluded to the fact in the games marketing that id be playing as someone else for almost a full half of the game (without any narrative context obviously) i would have enjoyed that portion of the experience a lot more.

    This game is BOLD, and begs the question of what defines right and wrong. Both characters are protagonists and Both are antagonists in their own right. I don't think I've ever seen such perfect form of story telling, as well as such well written characters. You will not like this game if you refuse to accept people who you adore have done **** things for their own self interests, and that people you hate have good reason to feel and do the things they do, and vise versa.

    Having finished the game I can say 99% of people rated game havent played it. Graphics are excellent gameplay is fun and reminds last of us 1. Story is interesting with its own twists. Play game for yourself instead of crying about it..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm between a 9 or a 10. This game did something I haven't experienced before in any media. It massively explored our feelings and the ability to empathize with someone who hurt you really bad. I do feel that the ending was "cut short", which kind of reminds me of Life is Strange 1. As if they were in a hurry. I liked the gameplay, although it's not for everyone. If you liked the gameplay in the first one, I don't know why you wouldn't like it in the second one. It's weird that the most emotional parts were during flashbacks, but they still hit the spot. I'll think about this game for a while. Expand

    Great graphics, but the plot clearly shows that the creators decided to spit in the face of heterosexuals who came into the game to protect themselves from the LGBT community. Developers probably believe that only minorities play their game, but they don’t consider normal people to be people.

    Let me start off by saying I love the last of us part 1. It's my favorite game of all time. I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face.

I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face. Going into this game I was trying to have an open mind. I didn't mind ellie being gay so much. It bothered me in the DLC because she was like your daughter and I never once questioned her sexuality or cared to know. I didn't really have a problem with ellie being gay in this game seeing as she is much older and I don't feel like naughty dog really pushed it too hard. i feel like it flowed naturally and it wasn't just shoved down my throat. I think when they introduced the trans kid things were a little too much there. It was definitely forced and an obvious agenda was at play. I was kinda confused when I first saw abby but after learning about her background I understood her character. The graphics in this game were incredible. I also loved the gameplay. The main things I absolutely hated about this game was the ending. I think if i played this and didn't look at the leaks I would have hated it more when Joel died. I guess I kinda just accepted it before the game came out so i lived with it seeing as I preordered the game. Once the game panned over to Abby after the Theatre encounter I couldn't wait to hurry through and see what happens next. Let me tell u it feels like this game NEVER ends and in the worst way possible, but you keep playing to find out. Only to be F'ed over so hard with the ending its so unreal. The ending was so bad it has potentially made me not even want to buy a ps5 next gen and that says ALOT. I mostly buy playstation to experience games from naughty dog like uncharted last of us and FF7 remake is big on my upcoming games, but after seeing how sony and naughtydog treated this whole situation I think I might go rock out on some Halo next year. I would like to at least give this game a 5 for graphics because those developers deserve a well 10/10 for that, but this director has F'ed this game up so bad I have to rate a 0 and try to give it the lowest overall score as possible so maybe decisions can be made to better the brand.

You ruined such a great IP, I can't believe I defended you, I thought the game was good at first but then it turned into complete garbage. I won't be finishing it.

You can say it is rediculous. Joel will never trust anyone easily, Joel will never go to anyone's place while he don't know that person , Joel will never help Abby for sure. Joel is very f**king CAREFULLY person in The last of us Pt.1. Only 4 years cannot change what what he did and was for over ten years. Trust me, the story that is signature of the last of us part 2 is wasted of time. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi so this is my first ever review and I can honestly say that I loved this game everything about it had me hooked from the griping emotional roller coaster of a story to the greatly intuitive controls.
    In retrospect of the story I'm not 100% happy with the direction you took especially with the killing of joel but after going through my paces with the game I have come round to the idea and can see the reason why you took the direction that you did and I'm glad that I stuck with it too the end this is coming from someone who fell in love with joel from day 1 and a person who spent 40 different play throughs just spending time with my favourite ever characters to come out of a video game.

    With this all said I hope that Naughty Dog doesn't take the hate to heart and listens to the points given by them and there more positive fans feedback and moves on to still make great games for us to enjoy I'm personally super happy with The Last OF US 2 and can't wait to see where Naughty Dog goes in the future.

    Much love a fan.

    Neil Druckmann simply took and ripped out heart from the fans. They did not care about everything, the main thing is to work out the agenda of minorities. He forever destroyed the story ... even the first part will now be apprehensively remembered. He has no forgiveness.

    sorry but i usually dont rate games on graphics and gameplay alone. the most important thing in any medium is story characters and how you go about these things. so it is safe to say that last of us failed miserably in all of these 3 parts. who wants to play a game that doesnt make sense. if you want to see good graphics look out of your window, best graphics yet. if you want sick gameplaysorry but i usually dont rate games on graphics and gameplay alone. the most important thing in any medium is story characters and how you go about these things. so it is safe to say that last of us failed miserably in all of these 3 parts. who wants to play a game that doesnt make sense. if you want to see good graphics look out of your window, best graphics yet. if you want sick gameplay play doom or dmc.
    but man if you want a good story with believable characters just play a game called last of us 1, it is pretty sick.i cant see how tlou2 should be worthwhile FOR ANYONE when there are literally hundreds of better games out there. if you really want to continue ellies and joels story it saddens me to say but you cant. all you get from part 2 is some crippling depression without any conclusion or overall theme, which made the first one so good.

    Spoiler free this is more addressing the ridiculous scores a bunch of "players" are leaving. Firstly leaving a score review when you've clearly not played the whole game or at least a significant chunck is pointless and ridiculous. I've heard things like it's not open enough yet at points the area's you can explore are substantial if you look.
    People saying it's boring.....you move to one

Firstly leaving a score review when you've clearly not played the whole game or at least a significant chunck is pointless and ridiculous. I've heard things like it's not open enough yet at points the area's you can explore are substantial if you look.
    People saying it's boring.....you move to one area kill enemies then walk around for 20 mins with nothing. Yes at some points there isn't a lot of action but that's not what this game is about. You need atmosphere, a lot of the time the down time moments are to allow conversation between characters or simply to allow some atmosphere. Also a lot of the time these moments allow exploration where notes can be found for more world building or safe codes. Equally the contrast between the quiet moments and then the moments of action are key to the experience.
    This game is about story, it's about creating a believable world with relatable characters. It hasn't evolved a whole load from tlou 1 but then why change something great? If anything this improves on the first. Movement and conflict is so much smoother with more fluidity to motion. The only criticism I can find is that there are a few light glitches but v rare and insignificant.
    Finally anyone bombing this score because there is a feminist undertone or because Ellie is a Lesbian who has a relationship with (shock horror) a girl.......
    Go look at yourself in the mirror and question what you are doing.
    The game is excellent. Tlou 1 is one of my fav games ever and this definitely joins that list. Well done naughty dog.

    All the positive reviews must be fake, done by paid journalist even though some might like it.

    This game was the brain-fart of the Niel Druckmann and Halley Gross. Westworld never mixed with LOU from the start.

    But what is most disturbing is Druckmann's and other's responses: reducing and mocking the fans, calling them haters, bigots and alike without a second thought instead of listening their true concern and issues with the game! They can be so ignorant and arrogant because of their previous successes, what exactly the players expected. But they were betrayed.

    But why is that a so successful studio receives only 3.4 user rating? It cannot be just because of some lesbian action, it is because they destroyed everything.

    Ask yourself the question: do you want to play this game because of Last Of Us or because you want to play the character Abby who destroyed everything you found dear in the Last Of Us?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing sequel to easily one of the best, if not the best, game I have every played. The story takes a drastic turn from the expected early on, I personally feels like it drags during the middle of the game, but toward the end it is once again enthralling. The gameplay was better than the first but decent at most, but this isn't a game you play for the gameplay, although I did feel it suited the type of game very well. Expand

    I hate people who'd like to silence the enture opinion they don't like. I sincerely hope you'd go to hell with your agenda. I hate when you make a game with politics in it, that's just... Alienating for me. If your game is getting "review bombed", then you deserved it.

    The graphics look amazing, charakter animation, physics and effects are top notch. The gameplay itself feels a little dated and repetitive by now. I'm going to give it 2 out of 10 because i feel sorry for the developers who poured their soul into this concerning the horrendous story.

    The sex scene was disgusting and awkward, they continue to claim that Abby is a girl, but they prob say that about Bruce Jenner too.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jugabilidad similar al 1 pero con varias mejoras, la banda sonora excelente como siempre.
    La historia, les guste o no, está bien desarrollada, porque intenta ser realista, mostrar que el personaje que más usamos en el 1 muere de esa manera es hacernos caer a una realidad que, pese a ser un juego, hay cosas similares a la vida real. Mostrar el punto de vista de Abby es excelente también, ya que muestra el lado humano, ayuda a entender el porque de sus acciones y ayuda a crear una atmosfera diferente cuando les toca pelear a Abby y Ellie. No sentís que es Ellie contra la villana de turno, sentís que es una pelea entre dos personas que sufrieron bastante para llegar hasta ese punto. El final quizás es algo cuestionable, pero no deja de ser razonable, una Ellie que entiende los porqué de Abby y al final decide perdonarle la vida.
    En conclusión, un juego que intenta narrar una historia más realista, con dos enfoques diferentes de la narrativa. Gracias ND por no caer en el cliche de historia de venganza.

    The game should range from 4 to 7 (out of 10) depending on what you are looking for. If only interested in graphics, this will be very high up there, as the motion capture, environments and visuals are all well deserving of praise. If you want engaging gameplay, maybe 5 or 6. If you want a sequel to the character driven predecessor, you are probably better off looking elsewhere. TheThe game should range from 4 to 7 (out of 10) depending on what you are looking for.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know this game is really polarizing for a bunch of fans and I was slightly disappointed with the ending. But it took me a while to internalize it and think about the story as a whole. Yes the killing of a main character sucks, but this isn’t the first game to do that. The LGBTQ aspects of the game DO NOT bother me whatsoever because it doesn’t make it the main focus of the game. There is no doubt that everything but the story is amazing. Crafting is familiar, weapon upgrading is familiar, the visuals are amazing, voice and motion capture is amazing, combat is way way better. Open level design, etc. Do I think Ellie should’ve killed Abby? I really wanted her to. It would’ve finally given her closure and justice. But where would that have gotten her in the end? She still would’ve ended up going back to a home without Dina and JJ.

    As much as Ellie hates Abby for killing Joel, what Ellie says to Joel the night before he dies “I don’t think I can ever forgive you for that, but I would like to try.” Also kind of ties into the final fight with Abby. She can never forgive Abby for killing Joel (even though she had every reason to) but she’d like to try forgive because of what Joel did to Ellie. She was on the verge of leaving Joel for good because of the lies he told her. Overall, it’s not a terrible game, it’s not an amazing game, I would be categorized it between good and great. It’s definitely not as good as the 1st game. I also don’t think it really lives to the 7 year hype. Again, this game will polarize the fans, but I think everyone needs to step back and really really understand the story in great length. The game was about HATE, I wasn’t really expecting a happy ending to a game about HATE.

    Absolute, sheer, idiocy. The entire thing is awkward and clumsy. It's like Druckmann is trying SUPER hard to be edgy and waste beloved characters with a "no one is safe" narrative" whilst forcing some clear agenda down our throats.

    The reason "Game of Thrones" was so successful in this, was because GRRM wasn't getting rid of characters for some political messages for the real world.

    The reason "Game of Thrones" was so successful in this, was because GRRM wasn't getting rid of characters for some political messages for the real world. He did it because they were well times, and made sense. This was just downright sloppy and offensive and a slap in the face. So incredibly forced just to push more "inclusive" archetypes into the narrative. I would say story, but its not even a story because it's like they just took bullet points and made a script from them.

    Abby is trash. I don't give a flying farquad if she is non binary, or identifies as a fish or is asexual. That's all fine and dandy. I loved Whiterose in Mr. Robot....because she worked and made sense from a narrative standpoint. There is no "bigotry" or "hate" when fans are uniting across the board to trash this monstrosity (see twitter to notice a LOT of the LGBTQ+ community are also apalled at this analfissure, and fail representation of their community - its so flipping patronizing when you force these things, and its an obvious backhand to anyone who can see it).

    The gameplay is so lackluster. It's one of the easiest games I have played in the last year or two... It's clunky and the mechanics are all fine but...when I am given choices and they lead to the same place...its just stupid.

    I'm done. This was just bad.

After Abby kills Joel, How in the world does she allow HIS BROTHER and a Girl who clearly loved him to live? Did you not think that they weren't going to seek revenge like you spent all this time seeking revenge? Lastly at the end, this whole game felt useless after Ellie decides to let Abby live....

    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.
