The graphics are amazing. The landscape looks SO GOOD in 4K. You could pour dozens of hours in photo mode alone. The fight sequences are smooth and some of the most brutal outside of mortal kombat. Anyone who has played the first game MUST pick this up. There’s a lot of bad press on this one, people are mad the story didn’t go the way “they wanted”. Please do yourself a favor, play the game before you make a judgement. You won’t regret it!… Expand

    I thoroughly enjoyed TLOU part 2. The presentation, gameplay, and story were all top class. I truly hope the Devs are not put off by the butt hurt gang, who can't handle a storyline that challenges their sensibilities, and deliver a 3rd installment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is incredible. I've never had a game that manages to change my emotions and feelings about characters as it progresses. Originally, I hated Abby and wanted nothing more than to get revenge. But as you progress, you come to realise she is very similar to Joel. You come to care about her, so that when you get to that bit in the cinema, your emotions are all over the place. The game was visually stunning, great audio track and good action sequences. But for me, the real experience was in the progression of the characters and the realisation that there are no good people in this post apocalyptic world. A remarkable achievement in a game. I'm astounded at the poor reviews on here. I think people are missing the whole point of the game, which is a real shame, because I think it's a masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is one of the most endearing and thoughtful games I ever experienced. It made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me feel terrible inside.

    1. Gamplay:

    The gameplay is a step up from the first game, stealth, weapons and looting feel more natural. The difficulty is nicely adjustable, I like to challenge myself, but also don't want a game to feel like a chore. In certain sections however I got frustated with the looting / crafting system, since I had everything fully stocked and couldn't pick up more which didn't satisfied my inner horder and also got me frustated when I actually DID use my ammo / crafted items and after such instances missing them for about three stages after. Moving in the game either by foot aka prone, crouched, upright or even sprinting, felt great and often times created exciting momentum when in combat situation.
    PLUS! The swimming / diving sections didn't make me want to scratch out my eyes or throw the controller away, so that's an improvement.

    The vehicle mechanic sometimes felt lackluster other times exponantially good. The boot section in Seatle Day 3 with Ellie felt tedious at times, the exploration on horseback Day 1 however incredible.

    2. Level Design:

    Overall the level design was well structured and the different set piece impressed me. Manueviring through Seatle either as Ellie or Abby never got boring, although from time to time I caught myself thinking: "OK, where's the hole in the upper wall I have to climb to progress this section?"

    The levels ranged from small, one way streets to open fields, full of potential gameplay / gameplay style options. I have to admit, at one point I even got lost on bigger stages and ran around aimlessly until I finally looked up or the game's assistent actually told me where to go.

    3. The game's look:

    The Last of Us Part II is gorgeous to look at. It definitely looks pretty at it's worst and stunning at it's best. From beautiful fields to gritty dungeon like buildings in Seatle. My only complain would be that I kind of got tired of Seatle's look after Day I Ellie until Abby's Day II. Everything was just masses bleak, gray buildings overgrown with green grass. However in terms of storytelling it does makes sense. I wish we could've played more different set piece than Seatle and then like 4 hours of Santa Barbara. I thoroughly enjoyed the beginning parts in Jackson as Ellie and Dina on Patrol and also the farm around the end of the game in term of enviromental design and change of setting.

    And now onto the big, controversial point.

    4. The story:

    I loved it and I am still processing everything that happened even after weeks of finishing the game.
    Let me tell you, I knew that Joel was going to die and I accepted it. Truth be told, I was never a fan of Joel as a character per sé. I loved him in Part I not because of his personality alone but because of his interactions and his care for Ellie. Although, I have to admit, I loved Ellie from the her first appearance and in my opinion Ellie always had been the protagonist of the games since the start, Joel, even though I played as him in Part I, felt more like a side character next to Ellie. Her story, her experience in the TLOU universe was the point of view I cared about.

    And oh boy, Ellie's journey in Part II broke my heart over and over again, leaving me a crying mess at the end of the game. I felt like Joel seeing "my baby girl" being torn apart by her actions and her grief made me suffer and hate everything that happened to her. I empathized with her, a fictional character, to understand how she could just go on and on even though she was clearly hurting herself and everyone around her the whole time. At the end of the game I got the feeling Ellie after Joel's death sought revenge on Abby only to punish herself for not forgiving herself and Joel for their own actions.

    Abby as a stark contrast I actually didn't like that much from the beginning until the end. I didn't care much about her friends, her life or her struggles, however I cared about the people she wanted to protect. She changed over the course of the game and in the end I wanted her to succeed in her plans of finding the fireflies not for her sake, but for her companion's - Lev.

    I like that the bait and switch from Ellie to Abby after being confronted by her in the theater on Day 3. I actually looked forward to see her experience losing her friends one after the other I got to kill as Ellie.

    At the end of the game I didn't want either of those women to die. Just rest and be happy again for god's sake.

    The only thing about I really disliked was the last chapter in Santa Barbara. It felt tagged on and rushed and I didn't get enough info on a new section "The rattlers" to satisfy my need for world building.

    Overall I recommend this game and advice to empathize with it's characters struggles and inner thoughts    … Expand

As an enormous fan of the first game and someone who grew to really connect with those characters, I was wary of the narrative this game created (particularly after reading some other fans’ reviews). But after beating it, I really believe the studio did justice to all of the characters in the end. In the least spoiler way I can say - there is a period in the middle of the game where I legitimately wanted to stop playing because I didn’t want to play as the character I was in control of. However, a couple hours later, I became really invested in the story and new perspective. Visually the game is stunning. Gameplay is incredibly solid, though it is quite violent at times. I’m not a squeamish person, and I still found myself cringing at times. Overall, this game is truly an emotional experience that makes you THINK. So many diehard fans out there are saying that the studio has ruined their favorite characters, and I just really don’t buy that. Just because the story didn’t go the way you expected/hoped based on your dreams of a sequel doesn’t mean it isn’t a perfectly crafted story with fully realized and developed character motivations. Play this game. Sit with this game. Experience this game. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you away.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is a technical marvel that pushes the boundaries of cinematic gameplay blended with masterful storytelling. The game will leave you emotionally drained in the best way over the course of around 25 hours, during which you will be forced to make hard choices and reexamine your own personal morals.

Intense to say the least.I think, put simply, the polarisation that the story created reflects the IQ gap within the gaming community. If you can't separate your illogical emotional biases from the fictional characters and, as a result, think the plot is "bad", you're low IQ. Thanks Naughty Dog for the emotional rollercoaster and for taking risks.… Expand

    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]
