    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t understand people that hate the game. It is a story about brutal and unfair world, same as the first part was. It is not a fairytale about unicorns and happiness. It is a story about loss, desperation, struggle and humanity, after all. Joel was never a 100% positive character, and weeping about him being killed in post apocalyptic world, while living in a world where you could be killed for a few bucks in your valet, hit-and-run or whatever else dumb reason, sounds ridiculous.… Expand

    I honestly don't understand the flak this game is getting. I thought it was a really fantastic piece of entertainment, that word chosen specifically because it's a emotionally taxing and exhausting game to play but this only feeds into the the grim dystopian future the game depicts. I would thoroughly recommend it

Can't tell too much without spoil, but I found that every choice that was made was really good, especially related to the characters we do control.

    But it's not possible to understand that without playing at least a few hours... And about that LGBT and other drama things : who cares ? This was already known from the first game (Left Behind DLC), and why should it be a problem ? Regarding Abby, it's another thing and is fully explained in... the story ! And I mean the real one, not the faked leaked one or the **** you can read anywhere on this metacritic user Reviews page...

    Thank you so much Naughy Dog and Neil Drukmann for this piece of art. Please for the third one, raise the volume music a little. Your music is incredible, so please give it honor like in the first game. Otherwise, perfect match for me, thanks again ! :)    … Expand

    This game is such a great piece of art and storytelling. Living in a post apocolyptic world relationships can make you or break you. Death has its consequences and this story encompasses all of that and more.

    The graphics show the true power of next gen consoles. Never seen such a beautiful game.

    This game was absolutely incredible! The story was phenomenal. The graphics were a 10/10. The map was huge and exploration was fun. The dialogue and facial expressions were great. The game has replay value and I'm on my 2nd playthrough as I'm typing this. Both side stories were great. This game is so close to living up to the first one. If they made a part 3, id 100% play it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having completed the game (29 hours and 40 minutes), I can say that this game has the potential to be one of the greatest of all time. It is a very HARD story, but it is a very powerful and moving story.

    People who hate this game hate it because:
    A) They think it carries some political Agenda (It does not)
    B) They are angry that Joel got killed thinking that either he didn't deserve it (if you play the game, you understand why Abby killed him...and you would do it to) or that his death was "wasted," I disagree, Joel was not a nice man, he had more than enough red on his ledger over his life and he had to know there were probably at least a dozen people who had the motivation to kill him, but his death, as brutal as it was, was the catalyst for this game.
    C) They didn't get the "revenge" they wanted....and thereby missed the whole point of the game. The Revenge cycle destroys everyone who participates, willingly or unwillingly. They both lost nearly everyone that they cared for, but in the end, Ellie salvages her humanity.

    This game makes you see and experience the humanity on both sides. You experience the humanity and inhumanity of each. No one is innocent in this story and there is no happy ending, at least not in the traditional sense.

    But in the ending cut scenes we see that while Ellie has lost everything, she still has the option to start again and grow. She is not handcuffed to the past. It was a horribly expensive lesson, but it was a lesson she learned and is now able to grow from.

    Yes, it is not a feel good story and it is hard to play at times and it is emotionally gut wrenching at times, but I believe that this sets up the franchise for a fantastic Part III. I believe that TLOU2 will be just like what the Empire Strikes Back is to the original Star Wars Trilogy. A very dark middle that sets up a glorious ending for the saga. And all these "haters" are going to have to eat their words.    … Expand

    Themes behind the game: Hate, Morality, Loss, Love, Pain, and Remorse.

    Evolution of gameplay: Similar to previous installment, but with many improvements. A.I. is more intelligent, forcing the player to think fast. With Ellie being more agile, exploration is expanded. The Non-Linear exploration gives us more freedom to explore the massive world before us.

    Story: Requires alot of focus, open minds, and is down to one's interpertation. Expands on characters. A second playthrough is highly recommended to fully grasp all of it. Soundtrack: Fits the tone of the sequel, whilst being familiar to the player, it also builds tension in the right places. Graphics: Extremely detailed, the team really put alot of effort to make it highly believable and breathtaking. Along with maintaining the sense of an abandoned and harsh world. The brutalility depicted is detailed to a point that you may feel a little queasy from time to time.

    Overall: The Last of Us Part 2 is a bittersweet and emotional triumph, where it throws you into a darker, more violent bloodbath than its previous title. It is also a game that will make you question the character's motives and morality at the end of My Score: 92/100    … Expand

I can say without fear of being wrong that it is undoubtedly one of the few video games that show us how everything would be after a pandemic of this magnitude and that from my point of view is something that is very remarkable.
    Last but not least, the story. I think that like any video game the story has its positive and negative things, but without a doubt the most remarkable thing from my point of view is how heartbreaking and raw it becomes, which is perhaps one of the reasons why so many criticisms of the game.    … Expand

    I honestly love the game. My only issue with the game is the length, but that to me just adds replay value to it. I think it's a strong story. I think it's not the story everyone wanted, so they didn't enjoy it as much as they would have without the sky-high expectations. Honestly, this is probably in my top three games of this year

    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]
