    Imagine if those leaks never happened. Players would concentrate on the whole story, without specifying certain moments. No one would play the game with leaked scenes in mind. Just try to perceive the story as a chunk, not in pieces. Maybe THEN you will understand.

    Quite simply the most impressive video game I’ve ever played. Narratively challenging, visually stunning, the most dynamic combat I’ve ever experienced in a video game. Really something else. Play the game, forget the knuckleheads who can’t get past Joel’s death to appreciate a layered and complicated story. This was a remarkable, moody and stunning journey.

    Ok listen up. This game is a Masterpiece, a real piece of art. It goes beyond what the haters and whiners see at the surface.

Music is amazing just like the first entry, and also as it is to be expected has some pretty amazing visuals. Now on to what everyone    Ok listen up. This game is a Masterpiece, a real piece of art.

    Music is amazing just like the first entry, and also as it is to be expected has some pretty amazing visuals.

    Now on to what everyone complaints about... The story.
    Most people complaining have either not played the game and had a part of the story spoiled or have played the game and not finish it..

    This game will not tell the story you want it to tell, that is true, but that is also true for life itself. The game does a wonderful job with narrative, deep and complex emotions, amazing support characters and relationships, dichotomy and duality, and twists and surprises that ultimately reflect human behaviour.

    This game goes to show that this is not a fantasy world where everyone is happy, **** happens and how you deal with that and the journey you go through. Also, in case people did not understand it after playing part 1, you are not playing a hero, you are not playing as the good guy, you never have in TLOU.

    Summary
    Naughty dog continued its trajectory of great story telling and amazing characters all within the world that we all love although this experience may not feel much of a "zombie game", with the great little touches to the gameplay and music makes this the best work Naughty dog has brought to the industry in as an art form    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To everyone saying that the story is bad. Incorrect, the narrative is bad. Get your head on straight. Joel is not a good person and wether you like it or not, he was eventually going to pay for his actions anyway. The world is still realistic enough that it still makes sense. Going out of your way to leave a bad review on a game that you clearly haven’t played all the way through is wrong. Now, I get that people are mad at the ending as well... And Abby. But to explain Abby, yes, I hate how you play nearly the rest of the game as her just as you were starting to have fun with Ellie. This is were the NARRATIVE is wrong, not the story. By shoving you in to play a character you hate, and making her seem likable, it’s hard to play that portion of the game. The only way they could have fixed this is by splitting the Ellie and Abby scenes up leading to them meeting up together. The next thing is that the ending is bad. It’s questionable and symbolic, yes, but not bad. I’m not saying it’s great either but there are some thing you need to realize. Symbolism is a big feature in this game. The moth (one of the key symbols) is to display how moths are attracted to light, which kills them, just how Ellie is attracted to revenge, it takes everything away from her, just as it also took Abby’s friends. But the symbolic ending isn’t that Ellie was trying to avenge Joel, she was trying to find peace instead, which is why she spares Abby when she forgives Joel (the last flashback). The ending also isn’t as sad as you may think. As many people have pointed out, Ellie has her bracelet that Dina gave her AFTER the fight with Abby at the end, but not when she left to go find her. All of Ellie’s stuff is also gone from the house except a few paintings and anything related to Joel. This is most likely to show that she is still with Dina in Jackson but has come to finally let Joel rest (leaving all of his stuff behind and his guitar). She does this by playing the first notes of Joel’s song, and then leaves into the woods. If I were to guess, a Part III would be a sort of redemption arc that will hopefully not make the same mistakes this game did. Final note, to touch on bs arguments, here:
    LGBTQ-guys, it’s 2020, move on and get over it.
    Abby has BIg aRmS-Really? What argument is that, it’s kinda sexist and I would suggest looking up the person they modeled Abby’s body for.
    Politics-Sure, it makes the game bad, but it doesn’t. If you want politics, watch the first game. FEDRA vs FireFlies is the definition of politics.
    Religion-I mean... ok?
    Boring to play-there are difficulty settings...

    Closing note: this game isn’t bad but it’s not the best thing on the planet. If this game were to be for everyone’s expectations, it would be boring. It would make the entire game guessable if it was what somebody wants. Also, this game follows the same act story that the first game had. A person sets out on a journey to complete a task ultimately changing their mind in the end. I’m talking about the first game here, not the second.    … Expand

The mass hate is completely unjustified and based off of people not being willing to enter with an open mind, and judging the game at the very start, rather than forming their opinions at the end. Go in with an open mind and be willing to see through the story, and try to put your biases aside as much as possible. With tight gameplay, excellent visuals, and a solid combat system The Last Of Us Part II is a blast to play. It's a game changing and monumental work of art, and is executed masterfully. The story is beautiful and heartbreaking. There are no "political opinions pushed" onto the player, and the game does not strictly tell you how to feel. There are also no good or bad guys, yet many of the critics feel the need to use that as an argument, which is proven to not be the case at various times throughout the game. The characters are dynamic and rich, and the voice acting is top notch. While this game is sure to be decisive, keep an open mind and form your own opinions based on the story that the game developers wanted to tell. The few cons that I had would deal with the game overstaying it's welcome, and certain parts dragged on, and risked being repetitive to the point of being boring. I encountered a few minor bugs, but I would not say they impacted the experience, and none of them were game-breaking. Give this game a chance. I would realistically give it an 8/10 due to the gameplay being too long, about 3 hours could have been cut and instead that time could have been utilized to build more story moments and to give us more information and moments with key characters. All in all, this game is worth it, and does not deserve all the mindless hate that it gets.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a genuine masterpiece of Gameplay and Story, i love almost everything about this game, ill start with my cons as i only really have 1, Pacing, i think this game can drag on sometimes, especially in Abbys sections but other then that, id say this game has so many pros it doesnt matter, Joel is dead and that means war to Ellie, Joels past actions regarding the fireflys and his actions at the finale of last of us 1, Abby, the daughter of the doctor at the hospital that Joel murder'd for Ellie, Now this is important, im ok with Joel dying, this is because it makes sense, Joel did something AWFUL, he doomed the Earth for his own gain, Your actions have consequences, as is shown by Ellie chasing down Abby as a result, this game made me feel more then any game ive ever played, before i discuss the ending i feel i should discuss the Gameplay, it feels great to play and looks absoulutely phenomenal and it maintans the last of us 1s tone and gameplay, its a broken world. Now the ending, i think the Ending is amazing, the game would have been so basic if "Ellie kills Abby you win", this is TLOU you rarely win, Ellie earned her revenge, but she broke they cycle, because if she killed him, she would be just as bad as her, i think people dont want to like Abby because they refuse to understand that Joel did Horrible things, People hate Abby because they are actively TRYING to hate Abby, i understand hating her at the start but if you still WANT to hate her, your obviously going to hate her by the end, if you let your guard down, you would actually start to like her and her friends, the ending leaves it open for both of them. I love the last of us 2 and i think the story was done well, G'night.… Expand

    It is not the typical game where you have an immortal hero, here they are all exposed humans looking to satisfy their own needs.

    If you’re looking for super happy times, don’t play this game.

    Many people do not appreciate the brutality, bleakness and grittiness of this story, and instead want to look away and curse at it rather than see what it is really about: finding the light in the dark.

    It is an often-overwhelmingly dark story that shocks you to your core, and if you don’t like that then you won’t like the characters or their actions, which seem perfectly natural in a world as bleak and unforgiving as post-apocalyptic Seattle.

    As well done as those elements are, the story is overlong by about 5 hours, there is an anticlimax that could have been more emotional (that ends up turning itself around and making up for it in the end) and the gameplay gets a bit repetitive sometimes.

    But there’s truly no need for the slew of negative reviews that have come out from users panning it for having a “bad” story and being “disrespectful“ of characters we love when in reality they just can’t handle the truth.

    Oh, and people panning it for pushing a LGBTQ agenda can shove it— the story is about so much more than merely pushing a political agenda.

    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.
