    I know a lot of people got angry at the loss in the beginning of the game, also at the fact that the game had more than one story arc, forcing the player to abandon their favorite character for some time.

But one.of the deaths caused by Joe on the first game did always strike me as very absurd and gratuitous, something unnecessary that harmed humanity more than getting Ellie out of the building. This didn't made me dislike Joe, but made me question his decisions. Having this decision to bear such dramatic consequences on the second game was one of the marks that made LOU2 a more mature and deep game than the first one. The first was like a road movie with less definite villains, the second like a revenge movie with hateful villains. LOU2 made the players understand that everybody had unacceptable losses in a destroyed world with a broken society where the strongest and first to attack had, most of the times, higher chances to keep on going with their lives. In the end, Joe didn't have to die, but also didn't have to kill a skilled doctor in a world without even unskilled doctors to begin with. That doctor could still work on a cure without Ellie, and no revenge would be needed, and no new revenge would come after the first. But, then, we wouldn't have a game to play and talk about. In the end, LOU2 is mature, have an engaging story, and characters that you first have to make an effort not to hate, then you learn to forgive when you empathize with their losses, and then you learn to care about and root for them. On both sides. Not everything is perfect, of course, but the game didn't deserve the review bombing it took. I bought it on pre-sale, something that I rarely do, and probably got the best value I had from a pre-sale game in my entire run with the PS4 and Xbox, since I have both platforms. Highly recommended a completely enjoyable is you're willing to play it with maturity and empathy for all characters.… Expand

    Fantastic game! I played around 23 hours and as a huge fan that completed the last of us part 1 I was like "maybe a 6/7 out of 10" and that was mostly because I felt the story was drawn out and Long. Because the attention to details are so impressive that event though Combat hasnt changed that much IT feels so much fluid and intuative. But things made sense in the end.

    Excellent game. For me, best game I've ever played (but I know this part about "best" is related to opinion).

    But about the game, is amazing. The story, the mixed feelings, the emotions, the tension and the relaxing moments. Also, very good attention to details, colours, shadows and every technical stuff. Of course there are bugs, as any big software has. You can argument if it is    Excellent game.

    You can argument if it is above expectations or masterpiece, but there ir no way it is a 0-to-6 score. All those low notes is only biased by appartment-boys that's only Marvel's fan where everything is predictable, where revenge is successful and men are the heroes. And of course, happy endings.

    its a beautiful game which I feel has improved in a number of ways from the original.
    There are some story and pacing decisions I didn't agree with however I have not "Felt" as much as I did in this game.
    Though you may feel like a horrible person for some.of it it is a must play

    ! Soundtrack - I listen to it separately from the game and even when I write this review, it was the same with the soundtrack from the first part.
    ! Plot - I would like to remove the score for a pregnant Mel who went on patrol, but I can't, my head is spinning only one score.

    A interactive misery simulator that holds up to the previous title, and then breaks through the barriers of current AAA games. Only to be review bombed by people that never experienced the full game. A testiment to the future of storytelling and what video games strive to be.

    I loved every single detail I hope this harsh, unfair and out of spite criticism stops sooner than later. Everyone should recognize the amazing work of Naughty Dog.

    I think people review bombing the game aren’t looking at the full scope, or maybe haven’t even completed the game. I personally loved the first game and the second was better in the gameplay and graphics department obviously, but I also though the story was equally as strong.

    A game that can not easily be summarized, and, in my opinion, transcends beyond the realm of being simply a “game”. It’s an experience. It channels the full gamut of human motion, challenges your thinking and morals, and is still totally badass and a **** of fun. Could not recommend more highly, or praise more thoroughly.

    The game is not flawless, but despite it's flaws it parallels the impact of the first. The game is a masterpiece, an unexpected sequel with an unexpected story to go along with it. It is mature, justified, and forces you to think outside of your own comfort zones.

I get that art is subjective so maybe this story isn’t for everyone BUT for me personally this game was incredible. Like most I HATED Abby for what she did but once you find out her reasoning it seemed justified. The game is dark and twisted and you have to know that going into it. There are some fair criticism to the game and some that are not fair at all. This game worked for me. The story. How it was told. The ending. The characters all set the bar high for me. If you’re a fan of the first one like I am play this one. You won’t regret it.… 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]
