    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, I could not play this game, and I had to go to my friend. we went through the game in 4 days, we spent 26 hours, and we think that this game is a masterpiece, it is not better than the first part (which I played), I read a lot of negative reviews and I think that gay propaganda is complete rubbish and False. I can’t understand why 1 kiss (okay 3) of two girls excited everyone so much.
    As for Joel, it's sad that we all miss him, but if he were alive, it would be a completely different game, so I really would not want to. Graphics, I don’t see any reason to say anything about this in order to find fault with the fact that the grass is unreal or that some characters twitched? oh well, I'm ready to play a terrible 2D game, if it has only a space plot. This game is not good or bad, it is a game about the so-called gray morality, where the game does not say who is good or bad, the game shows everyone from all sides, and the player, in turn, chooses who is who + the game shows that violence leads to even more violence, well, you know a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and so the whole world can go blind.    … Expand

    Great plot, optimization (it take 3 seconds to load after death), graphic, attention to details. Amazing locations which are breathtaking. The plot is more ambitious than in part 1. You are no longer saving the world from "the bad guys" but it shows that the world is more complicated and for other people, you can be that "bad guy" even if you think that what you are doing is right.    … Expand

    The new pinnacle of story telling. Spectacular writing, voicework, character development, and art. It makes you feel. It might not be pleasant, there's fear, panic, and heartache but boy it makes you feel it.

    Perfection. Seriously. Anyone who criticizes the story is someone who needs a happy ending with rainbows and unicorns and has no reason to be playing this game. You will not be happy by the end of the game, I promise you, but that is the beauty of this. ND doesn't want to treat you like a child, so don't expect that. Go play animal crossing.

Indeed this maybe controversial to people who prefer plain right good guys and villains, even I always wanted the good guys to always win, but this game makes you realize that humans are way more complicated than that. In my opinion, I loved the game and the ending, the feels(mostly happy and slightly sad, overall satisfied) still linger on to me two days after finishing the game, very few games do that, the soundtrack and visuals are top notch and really enforce the storytelling. So please before judging, play the entire game and decide it for yourself, just don't get into the hate bandwagon just because you heard some spoilers, and that you didn't like a particular events or story decisions through those spoilers. The game is indeed amazing !!… Expand

    Absolutely fantastic game. The story is better in the first one, but this still has a great story and it is told well. Not a perfect game, but all my complaints are small and nitpicky, nothing to drop a point. The details in the game are amazing, so many unique assets make every room feel unique. Definitely well worth playing.

    I think people really have to look at the bigger picture. Not every story has a happy ending and i think people should accept that. Not saying this game doesn't have its problems but it definitely does not deserve the hate it is getting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People waited for 7 years for a sequel on a great game and what people got is a garbage storyline based game. The story sucks they made a character (abby) that killed the chracter you love (joel). Which is fine you can still play as Ellie but the thing is they tried to make you hate Ellie for some reason like having Ellie kill dogs showing flashbacks of Ellie being a dick to Joel. And whats worse is they forced you to play Abby the character you hate and forced you to like her. Like i dont a give a damn about her father and friends he killed joel. And another stupid thing is when Ellie is traumatized by killing a pregnant lady like she killed a lot of people before that but no killing pregnant ladies draws the line. The characters that are killed are forgettable like manny and jesie its like they died and nobody cared. They got a few screen time and then poof they out of the story. Like they forced this dumb ass storyline to our throats.… Expand

    Good game. Everyone hates on it just bc of Joel and it angers me that they didn’t even play the rest of the game. People are too one-sided and can’t even accept change or reality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I have to do an Review for that because I can understand why ppl are angry about the decision what ND did in the characters design and in the Story. The big BUT is that is the goal in this game to make you angry to feel the same what the characters feels to great an character like Abby is all about it to make some ppl angry. People are fearing what is not normal. Abby is an Charakter I have to fight with me because I cannot understand her motivations to be like a strong woman (Man) this Charakter could be also a man and the whole story would work also with the sex scene. That Charakter it out of place it not polished she feels forced in the game with a better storytelling about her motivation to be like a strong woman or be like a man maybe I wouldn’t think about it so much. The whole problem about emancipation is that women’s doesn’t want be a strong women the want to be like a man and lose their whole identity to be an women and that is what Abby is a man. When that is Abbys feeling I’m fine with that but then it should be more an topic in the game to be act like it is normal ND doesn’t have to make to an topic and we player won’t understand why she is like that is bad character design.

    But why I give that game an 10/10 because like I said the story would work also with other characters. For me was that game a emotional rollercoaster. I played it on survivor. The game is challenging on the difficulty I died a lot of dead’s with exploring almost every place I beat the game in 33h and i think for the platinum I need 15 more hours. The level design an master piece so many little details I have never seen in a game. The whole world looks so real an realistic an a life great work. The Acting and the Charakteranimation looks so realistic that I have to think about that is not a real movie.
    The game mechanics and the Charakter AI is much better then in the first game on survivor I had a lot of fun to think about with the lack of resources to fight an overpowered enemy. The Blood an violence is also one of the best what I have seen you really can feel the pain and what you have done with your tools to other humans like you.

    The Storytelling is on of the best what I have played so fare. Like I said emotion roller coaster. The perspective change from different characters is a good choice to feel the pain and the love from every character. I really can feel Abbys feelings (not or motivation about her identity) and Ellis feelings and there wasn’t only blood what flows in the game also my tears.


    Thank you ND I love you for that Game experience I will talk and think about it for Years like with the first game. Pls when ND decided do make Charakter with a other sexual or body identity then pls explain why we player can understand it and can more fit in the perspective of that character most of the ppl don’t know that feelings or why the are like that so for that ppl would it be great to tell them why.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Marvelous gameplay, design audio, etc. The storyline was real and grounded. Anyone who thought Joel was going to get a happy ending was naive. Violence begets violence, you cant kill as many people as you did and stop the invention of a cure that would save millions and not expect backlash. Joel sealed his fate long before and made peace with his decision. I think that made his death more honorable especially in a post-apocalyptic world. I love that Naughty Dog showed two sides to one story it really just showed every character in a different light so we could see them for all that they are (not so we could judge them, rather just understand them) Seeing the lengths Ellie would go to for revenge was disheartening because you see that it eats up at a person from the inside. There were parts in the story where I didn't want to follow Ellie anymore on her quest for vengeance for her own sake. I'm glad that when she finally forgave Abby and got the closure that she needed. Its just so sad to see what the path of vengeance cost. Especially when Ellie couldn't play that tune that Joel taught her in the end. I think a lot of people were hoping for this second game to be fan service and im glad naughty dog didn't go that route. The Last of Us Part 2 isn't its predecessor and doesn't need to be; it is a great game.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
