    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another amazing Naughty Dog game. Unlike what others are currently saying, the story is extremely captivating. Joel's death was saddening for all those that played the first game, but in my opinion, was necessary to continue the story with Ellie. Graphics are excellent as always, and the game mechanics were familiar and enjoyable.… Expand

    This is graphically beautiful game with improved game play from the first. It does not feel antiquated in my opinion. The story is great if you like realistic character motivation and growth. Overall just amazing. I almost never play story focused games a second time but I will with this one.

    After waiting a whole 7 years of this games release after finishing and playing it, there’s many emotions you go through in this. Most of the feelings are crucial, playing as two people who both want revenge turns into something regretful which makes me feel angry.

Right when I started the game in the beginning after playing 4 hours, Joel gets killed by Abby, it happened way too fast and i started to not feel any empathy for joel, but i was filled with anger but just not sad :/ it was weird. Also playing as a character you hate and end up having sympathy for the character is interesting. When in the very end of the game Ellie started wanting justice for Joel and wants her to finish the job she goes there and Abby is almost in the urge of already dying , Ellie wants to fight but Abby doesn’t want to, (I’ve realized if Ellie wasn’t there she wouldn’t have saved Abby or Lev and I know we wouldn’t wanted have lev to do die because he basically saved Dina ,… Expand

    This is a superb game that enhances almost everything that the previous installment started.

    I’ve never played through a game as quickly as I have with TLAOU part 2. If you’re on the fence at least rent or borrow it before listening to the negative reviews theres a lot of backlash from biggots. Yeah things could have gone differently and by now most of you probably know what I’m referencing but it made me take everything that happened after so intensely personal.

    TLOU 2 is literally a game-changing for the games industry.

    It isn't perfect, but neither is the first game. Incredible story telling, incredible art. The buildup of anxiety and jumping from intense scene to intense scene leaves you feeling like an emotional punching bag. Also, ND says Trans Rights!

    It's about 20 hours to feel, hate, understand and forgive choices and actions. The journey of vengeance, the loss, the pain and the lives in a world with uncertainty future. For me is GOTY for sure! Play and feel the history, and forget the rest!

    I really enjoyed the experience this game brought me. It made me feel some very complex emotions that were new to me. I could barely put it down after I started, and it took me 30 hours to complete. I’m seeing criticism that the message is just “revenge is bad” which is an oversimplification meant to disparage the game as a whole.

I’m seeing criticism that the message is just “revenge is bad” which is an oversimplification meant to disparage the game as a whole. To me, it’s a game about forgiveness, and how impossible it may seem for the most unforgivable actions, but how necessary it to try in order to move on in life. Without forgiveness, which can come in different forms, we can never progress. Maybe people feel that Naughty Dog did them wrong with the choices made this game... and maybe they don’t think they can ever forgive ND. But hopefully, someday, they’d like to try.… Expand

    I've never had any piece of media emotionally drain and uplift me as much as TLOU2 did. I sat through the whole credits staring blankly at the screen as I had not a clue what to do with myself afterward in the best way possible. It's been on my mind ever since.

    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]
