    There has never been a game more heart wrenching and beautiful, this is truly one of the greats. I am so grateful that this game was created. I desperately want a third installment to come out, but take your time!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say I was very sceptical because of all the noise before the games release, but after having completed it I found it to be absolutely perfect. It had some really tough emotional scenes, but I feel like it fits in perfectly in this harsh imperfect world TLOU is set it. Lot of hard emotional scenes, that really adds to the post apocalyptic scenery. The graphics are stunning, gameplay is amazing, and the story blew me away. It’s just so hard hitting. I was left numb and emotionally drained at the end. Don’t believe the 0/5 comments, it’s become popular to hate on this game due to its representation of diversity and LGBT coverage. I am not for overrepresentation these issues normally but I thought they addressed it in a subtle and relevant way. It’s just incredibly well done. Masterpiece… Expand

    Combat is the best I’ve ever seen next to uncharted and god of war. I was put off by abby’s addition to the story but found her POV and gameplay much more enjoyable than Ellie’s.
    Improved upon the first game tremendously

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is awesome game. Great graphics and great story in my opinion. Some people have criticized this as bad only after a couple of hours of playing or because they have read the spoilers. Sounds in the game is very good and music is incredible. This is for me a game of the year.
    I recommend playing to the end and then giving your opinion on the game because there are a lot of different flavors and styles for different games to play and you shouldn’t stare too many reviews just because you have to actually play and then think about what you liked.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made an account for this. After 30 hours of playing I can happily say the follow up to my favorite game of all time lands in my personal top 5. With as little spoilers as possible, I was a big fan of Joel in the first game but I was a bigger fan of Ellie since I was around the same age as her when the first one came out. I did not agree with Joel taking away Ellie’s decision from her but like everyone understood why he did it. I did after the first one expect Joel to die and I did not have a problem with how he did. Joel’s character was never written to die protecting Ellie from clickers. That would be lazy writing. Having him die as brutal as it was, was In some way a testament to his character and the pain he caused others. But also his death caused the player pain setting up a good revenge story. You just know Joel himself knew he had it coming. Seeing other character like Jesse and Dina ready to sacrifice themselves for Joel shows how he impacted the Jackson community. Ellie remains my favorite character in the series after this game but I do hope if we see more in this series it includes more Tommy. Now onto abbys side, I found some the characters to be annoying. But I think each of them had valid motivations. I did not like Abby when I first started playing as her but as time went on I liked her more and more. Laura baileys performance was incredible. While I still was mad she killed Joel, I understood it and I felt her pain as well. While I’m at it all the acting was top notch. My surprise of the game was lev and yara who helped build abbys character. The gameplay in this game was my favorite of the ps4 single player games. It felt as realistic as an infected filled world could. The engagements felt real, and the enemies felt like they were each created with their own mind and personality. I will replay multiple times for gameplay alone, and hopefully it receives a multiplayer. The graphics and soundtrack were obviously top notch. With graphics being the best I had seen on a ps4 pro, and made me question if we need a ps5. One last thing is the hospital mission with Abby is one of the scariest missions I have played. I’m not a huge horror fan but I have played resident evils and it felt straight out of one. Verdict/TLDR- if you’re a fan of the first one and willing to go in with an open mind you will be very pleased as naughty dog proves they are one of the best again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, this game is great. People really need to do a gut check and realize--if Naughty dog went with a cookie cutter story it would kill any chance of this story continuing. It would be nothing but Last of Us 1.5. Look, the Joel and Ellie story is still there but it is a finality. Now, they can really move the world forward. Also, the love between Joel and Ellie is on display throughout the game. The negative is Abby, she does come across a little annoying. However, there are still great parts with her story as well. The ending was amazing and did justice for Joel. WTG Naughty dog.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is **** awesome first off and people need to relax about SJW and playing as Abby they didn’t need anymore backstory to their characters you know enough about the main characters in the story sure it sucked seeing Joel die early nearly brought me to tears and then you have to play as Abby I took enjoyment out of it I loved watching her get killed when I made a mistake but it’s not all about her it’s about who is really the evil person sure Abby killed Joel in a gruesome way but Joel also murdered almost all the fireflies and took the one chance for a cure with him he damned the the entire human race for one girl because he loved her like the daughter he lost during the outbreak it’s hard to blame him for it too so is it really that hard to blame Abby for killing Joel(avenging her father and killing the one guy who stopped them from making a vaccine (also manny was one of my favourite of the former fireflies and he’s the **** who spits on Joel) in conclusion I’ve seen bad reviews about this game and me personally there either dumb as **** for not seeing the great story telling and making it more than just a revenge story and have it be one that’s also a redemption story for Abby and Ellie who cares if the main character is gay it’s not like Its actually you!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first game, but surprisingly I might love this one even more. I felt so many emotions while playing and loved the relationships shown between Ellie/Dina and Ellie/Joel and how they developed. The gameplay was polished and fun, with cool animations and satisfying sound design. The settings were also diverse and you can really optimize what kind of challenge you want when playing. The story was suspenseful and bittersweet. However, if I’m going to nitpick the story did have some holes. Off the top of my head I can think of a few, such as why weren’t Joel and Tommy more cautious around Abby and her friends? They’ve lived a long time in a post-apocalyptic world and have wronged many, so I don’t think they’d be so open to share personal info. Also, I can understand how Tommy would turn spiteful in the end of the game, but if felt sudden and out of nowhere. It felt out of character to be that harsh towards Ellie. Maybe if we saw more development with Tommy and his anger towards Joel’s death it wouldn’t be surprising. Overall though I have very few gripes with the game and consider it a work of art. Just because the story didn’t always go the way I wanted to doesn’t make it a bad game. Although I still feel resentment towards Abby and will defend Joel for his actions, I was relieved that Ellie spared Abby in the end. Not for Abby’s sake, but for Ellie’s. She found her peace with Joel and realized she didn’t have to kill Abby to do it. The fight at the end showed how exhausting holding on to the pain and anger was, when neither of them truly wanted to continue. Ok that’s my rambling for today. Great game. Highly recommend.… Expand

Yes there were bits of the story that were upsetting; that is the sign of a good story if it impacts the player. The ending, without going into spoilers, ends on a less ambiguous note than the original game. From a gameplay perspective Naughty Dog also should receive credit; they have used modern technology to refine the great gameplay from the first game and build upon it further. Approximately half way through the game an event happens that forces you to adapt and a change the way you play. For an hour or two I was unable to rely on some of the stealth tactics I had been used to up to that point; this kept gameplay fresh and the challenge exciting. Before long I had extra tools at my disposal to play stealthily but in a different manner to the preceding 12 or so hours. The player is put into fresh and new encounters through the course of the game which is no mean feat across it’s run time (I saw credits roll at 25 hours and 53 minutes and collected 198 collectibles). I took a dive straight back in in order to find missing collectibles and achieve that Platinum trophy, which also seems very achievable for anyone. Ignore the low user score, this game is a must play.… Expand

    Have to do my part to correct this score from the people who didn’t even play it.

    This game is exceptional. Every second of it. The gameplay, the world, the graphics, the music, the acting, and yes, even the story. I didn’t read the leaks before playing, and I’m glad I didn’t. It sounds like it ruined the game for a lot of people and I genuinely feel bad for them, to be honest.    Have to do my part to correct this score from the people who didn’t even play it.

    That said, I understand from playing the game what moments were probably controversial to people. They all worked for me though, and tied into what was established in the first game both story-wise and tonally. For those of you that played it all the way through and still hated it, I think you may have misinterpreted the original game and the message it was putting forward.

    Gameplay might be some of the best stealth/survival combat I’ve ever experienced. They took what worked in the first game and just perfected it. The open world segments were a wonderful addition as well.

    Graphics are by far the best we’ve seen this generation. If you told me this was a PS5 game, I’d believe you.

    This may not be how the "fans" would have wanted it to play out - but they did an amazing job of telling the stories... with incredible graphics and attention to detail (as a musician i personally LOVED that this is the first game i've seen where the characters actually make accurate patterns on a guitar ) - and as always fantastic voice acting.

    This game is an emotional roller coaster. You'll laugh. You'll cry - both happy and sad - you'll get pissed off, and rightly so... but if the only thing you can take away from it is "screw this game" then you weren't a fan to begin with.

    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.
