    Maybe the most intensive video game experience I ever had!
    My feelings were like on a rollercoaster ... sympathy and antipathy changed during the game and I was so invested in the story.
    In my opinion one of the best videogames ever made.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played both. Didn't read spoilers. Wasn't sure I was gonna love 2 as much as 1. Thought a basic revenge story would be boring. People on the internet are skimming through this game as if it were a reading assignment due the next day (it shows). The game tells a complex tale of coping with grief, challenging you to objectively humanize the enemy, and themes of evolving identity analogous to the first game. Along with a ton more that I know I missed on my first playthrough. If you are on the fence about playing this game stop reading reviews, stop watching content, just find a way to play the game yourself. The experience is powerful if you just allow yourself to experience it organically. Or... Continue to spread negativity and gain nothing but contempt from others I.e. post comments about a game you truly never attempted to care about in a futile attempt to get revenge for a plotline that you disagree with. The game won't change and you being mad about it does nothing about it sales figures 4 million copies in 3 days. Learn to move on.… Expand

Joel's death is really hurt, and a game shouldn't take such a complex story, we need time to fighting and garbage collecting etc., damn it is not as good as 10, I do this because there are too many low scores just for anger and hatred, I just hope there will be a part 3. tears...… Expand

    Intel's hate this game. All these negative reviews from people who haven't played the game just show how sad the gaming community is. No one takes this community seriously and for good reason. Get a life, get out the basement, you are what all the stereotypes stem from. It's sad and cringe. On top of that, I'm on my second play though and can say this game is amazing.

    What an amazing achievement this game is. Besides the amazing visuals and improved gameplay, I really appreciated what ND did with the story. I applaud them for trying something different. Yes, it didn't work for everyone. But if it worked for you, it worked big time. The emotional rollercoaster that the game provides is unprecedented.

    It is an absolute masterpiece. I can't stress this enough. A MASTERPIECE of gaming.
    It has its flaws like any other game before and like any game that is yet to come. But no matter if it's graphic, storyline, characters or gameplay, it's incredible. I cannot understand all the hate. Play it yourself.

    Potentially my favourite game of all time. Loved the first when it came out, finished it 4 times. However I loved this game even more. People can't handle it's method of story telling, the controversy justifies it's uniqueness and brilliance. I have no tolerance for the stupidity displayed by haters. Philistines. 11/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story of this game is a hard hitting one. It takes dark and horrific turns. Characters are humanised and dehumanised, even your enemies have names.

    The Last of Us 2 is a story of how Abby went from a toxic, vengeful individual to somebody with purpose and a heart, who felt empathy for others and truly realised that every side is capable of being evil, or good.

    On the flip side, it's a story of how Ellie goes from an already fairly broken person to a vengeful, toxic mess. It's almost like she and Abby swap places.

    But I do think that Joel definitely had to die - he was going to. Ellie may have never viewed it that way (You can tell how selfish she is when she's telling him "you took that from me" rather than "you brought me to these people, then murdered them all"), but he was far from perfect, far from a good person, and it was inevitable that his past would catch up to him. By the end Ellie was worse than he was, by a significant margin. If you're attached to Ellie and Joel especially, you'll struggle with this game. If you struggle with empathy chances are you'll hate it.

    Dina is a gem of a character and a bastion of patience, Lev was amazing and really lent to the development of Abby, who definitely had the better arc as a human being. Those environments though, absolutely stunning - that situational environmental design and attention to detail is unrivalled. I'd love to see a sequel from the perspective of Lev and Abby, I think that'd be pretty awesome.    … Expand

    Whether you like it or not, there are always two sides of the story.
    Best graphics, animations and sound. it wasn't the story we all expected.
    But is a great story at the end. A must play game.

In the end, everyone reconciled and just waited. But then the irreparable happened, a lot of videos from the game were leaked, whole cutscenes, fights, etc. I think that this is the reason for all the misfortune that this game faced. For many people, torn scenes from the context gave them an erroneous opinion about the whole product. All this, of course, fueled the integration of LGBT people into the game (which, in fact, does not matter much in the game), and this topic has been very problematic in recent years. I am sure that the studio and Neil knew that this would happen and consciously took a risk. However, Ellie and her story have been crushingly criticized. I hope that in the future, people will learn to criticize a product only after they are fully acquainted with it.

    I have been waiting for the game for 5 years and for me it is not just a hobby, it is a personal story into which I was drawn. And I waited, waited patiently, but then leaks that were impossible to get away from (social networks, YouTube and everything else is an integral part of life now). And it really ruined my impressions, I was very upset. But despite this, I enjoyed this incredible story for 30 hours. About which I will say only a little. The plot is not something unique, we have already seen this in world cinema, but the presentation itself and how we learn the history from all sides makes this game beautiful. And it is heartbreaking, however, all as promised to us, only pain, revenge and a circle of violence.
    Everyone will always find cons for themselves, but really something that spoils the game is not here. If Naughty Dog were asked what I didn’t like in the game, I would only remember about the NPC that sometimes interferes with passing and about enemies who do not always act logically.
    Summing up, I want to say that I am grateful to the studio, to every person who worked on this incredible game. I do not stop watching a video about development, listening to podcasts, and watching early Art in Istagram. Thank you very much for everything.
    Despite the huge damage from the spoilers, I can still say that the game broke my heart and in the end I cried. I think that was exactly what was intended so that the story of Ellie would destroy not only her, but also us, the last of us.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went in blind, never watched the spoilers, didn't stayed on the internet much before it's release, and as soon as I finished it I wanted to talk about it so badly, so naturally, I went to Reddit and oh my god I couldn't believe what the heck happened because personally I really loved the game and everyone seemed to hate it.

    Now one week later, as more people actually played (or watched walkthroughs on youtube) the game, I noticed more and more positive feedback as each day passed, predominately on the PS4 sub and the main TLOU one, also the Metacritic score raised up to 5.0, from a 3.2, leading me to believe that the initial reaction was mostly composed of online troll with nothing better to do. That's not to say that there aren't persons who genuinely don't like the game, but usually, they came in as more civil and respectful to other's opinions.

    From a technical point of view for me this game is a marvel, from graphics and sound design to incredible attention to details it's just perfect. I didn't enjoy so much the gameplay of a game in a long time, HZD was the last game I think to leave me in a state of "wow this **** is so fun". Regarding performance, I don't understand how they did it but the game runs even smoother than Uncharted 4 for me, as with that game I witnessed a few nasty fps drops a couple of times, here I didn't encounter any sequences with noticeable frame rates drops. I play on a ps4 slim from 2017.

    With that said I really loved the story as well, the (big spoilers ahead) midway switch to Abby clicked with me, eventually, I ended up liking her, by the final chapters I was seriously hoping Ellie won't kill her, not only because I liked Abby and Lev as characters, but because it would mean the definitive downfall of our protagonist in my opinion. The sudden pop of Joel's memory as she was suffocating Abby to death was a representation of how Ellie acknowledged that she was using revenge as a coping mechanism to escape guilt because she didn't make amends with Joel before he died, killing Abby wouldn't fix her issues on the long run. And I think at that moment came some great character development for Ellie, as it takes great willpower to control your rage and spare the murderer of your beloved in an attempt to move forward and heal. So for me, the ending was actually bittersweet, touched by a note of hope, showing us that the main theme was actually forgiveness. Maybe it hit me differently because I'm trying to leave aside my toxic "solutions" and attitude towards some personal issues I have

    All in all, this is a 10/10 for me, the pacing at times could have been better, but other than that it's a really good game. Definitely a must have at least when it's on sale.    … Expand

    As for the negative reviews giving 1 star. Let's dissect that for a minute. These reviews are saying this game, it's graphics, gameplay and story are one of the worst games ever made? It's laughable so you can happily ignore those reviews. They're from trolls who haven't even played the game because let's face it, why would someone spend 30 hours of their life playing a game they thought was one of the worst ever made.
    This game's story, among its many themes, is about choices and their consequences. Naughty Dog has made a game that forces you to play through the consequences of those choices which carry over from the first game and they're confronting. It just takes a little emotional intelligence, emotional maturity and empathy to appreciate the wrenching experience they've achieved in this game. Unfortunately trolls don't have those traits and are doomed to spiral down a path of hate that will only damage themselves. Ironically, if they played the game, they just might learn that.    … 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.
