    This game is amazing. If you hated it, then you did not understand it. If you review bombed it because it hurt your feelings, then I feel bad for you.

    The story: Standard fare for video games is good vs bad. The violence is justified because you play the good guy, and the bad guys are clearly bad. TLoU2 isn't so simple.

    If you play like me, this is an excellent stealth game. You can stalk your prey by keeping under cover, hiding in grasses, and misdirection. When ready to strike, I like arrows and knives. You don't have to play like me though. If you prefer a more formal assault you have a wide selection of guns, smoke bombs, mines, explosive ammo. The game isn't just fighting, it is character interaction. As with any Naughty Dog game, you spent a good chunk of it playing with an NPC partner. Your partner isn't an obstacle in the way, they actively help you take down the infected or other enemies. The contextual conversations that take place enrich the experience and often flow seamlessly in and out of perfectly acted cut scenes.

    The graphics
    The environments are simply beautiful. The forests are alive, the rivers and ocean are foreboding and the streets are believable result of decades of disuse. I loved this game. 10 / 10.    … Expand

The beauty of this game is in viewing other perspectives and realizing others situations and how screwed up everyone is, Ellie included. Overall this is a great game with incredible graphics and the story is excellent. The people that voted the story poorly are just wanting a game to lie to them and tell them everything pans out.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if naughty dog makes a DLC that has a different ending for the people that can’t stand how life isn’t fair.    … Expand

    The last of us parte 2, sem dúvida foi o melhor jogo que já joguei, tecnicamente beirando a perfeição com uma gameplay fluída, personagens carismático e uma estória magnífica. Não acredito que outro jogo me proporcionará os sentimentos/experiência que tive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is phenomenal. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever played and it took huge risks that many devs would never take.

    The bad first:

    My only negatives are that the gameplay can get a little repetitive after awhile and that yes, some of the ways things play out are a little unrealistic, but I understand why realism is sacrificed in order to make the experience fun for the player.

    The good:

    The story is amazing if you can allow yourself to exhibit a little empathy. This game is set in a tough, cruel, brutal setting. It’s not a world of heroes and villains, it’s a world of survivors who have the opportunity take the law into their own hands.

    Graphics and score are breathtaking.

    Relatable characters that you get attached to. It’s clear at this point that people are divided on this, but personally my favorite performance was Laura Bailey as Abby. Abby is unlike any female pro/an(?)tagonist I’ve seen in 30 years of gaming and I really appreciated seeing someone portrayed that doesn’t fit this cookie cutter mold you see from many female characters. I fear the backlash from the mentally unstable, privileged, disgusting losers who are sending death threats (DEATH THREATS!?!?) to writers and voice actors over a freaking video game will deter devs from taking these type of risks in a future. My suggestion is that if you are one of these people that are easily triggered anytime anyone other than white males get a little shine, if you feel attacked every single time something is praised that’s not white male dominated, if you are one of these people that can’t wait to tear down successful media that doesn’t necessarily represent you, please stay away from this game. Go play Super Mario and the hundreds of other games that have been created throughout history with only you in mind and live your little power fantasy. Your hatred is only making this game more talked about, more relevant and more successful.

    My suggestion that if you are actively sending death threats to anyone, but in this case particularly people who are simply writing and performing a piece of entertainment that literally means nothing in the most literal sense that nothing can mean in the grand scheme of things, is to please, please seek help. You are an embarrassment to the human race.

    Congrats Naughty Dog! I hope to see at least one more game set in this universe as I ended the game only wanting more, but if this was the last ride, it was still more than we deserved.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was done masterfully. The subtle movements and facial expressions characters make within each cutscene give clues as to what each character is feeling.
    During the scene that divided fans, you could see Joel uncomfortable while Tommy was relaxed. You could see Abby's shock and disgust after she went through with the act that she had long awaited. Because she realized revenge doesn't fill any holes in your heart. Those that angry at the game chose to hate the game from that moment out. They never gave it a chance solely based on the fact that a main character died. The story being done in a non-linear fashion angered many, but just because one does not like it, doesn't mean its a bad story. The pacing with the non-linear story could have been done better, but overall it made the experience of Abby better.
    The game did exactly what it sought out to do and that was make the audience feel. Overall, the graphics, gameplay mechanics, action sequences, and the attention to detail that the Naughty Dog team labored over pushed the level of games in 2020.    … Expand

In my opinion, but it, I believe it is a 10/10 game; however people are right to say that this game is divisive, so I cannot guarantee you’ll form the same opinion of this game as I have. Review: The Last of us Part II is a masterpiece without saying. I believe that this game shines in many aspects, but the one aspect that I believe it shines in “and many others don’t” is the story. As much as this seems not to be the case, not only is the story a self constrained well written emotional rollercoaster, but in my opinion perfectly compliments the first game in almost every aspect, most of all seen through story. Let’s talk about the major turn off in the story first. Joel’s death, more importantly Joel’s death at the hands of Abby, a random women whom you don’t know off nor do you know her intentions until before you can even process it, has played a golf tournament whilst using Joel’s unfortunate head as the driving range. At this moment you will want to quit. I did to, at this moment you will understand the hate, until you don’t. Joel’s death was necessary in my opinion. In a revenge story you need to be ok terms with the character, and if Dina had died, well you would feel sad for Ellie, but you would feel that way yourself, but by killing Joel, in such a traumatic and realistic manner (on the basis that in the world of The Last of Us, you do not to go out like Iron Man), it makes you want revenge, not Ellie, you. Furthermore, you see and feel these effects throughout the game. When Ellie kills a pregnant lady, when Ellie looses everything, and here is where that perfect complimentary comes between part 1 and part 2. Ellie tells Sam that she’s scared of ending up alone, and she doesn’t want to loose everyone, and in part 2 that happens, but in the end. It’s her relationship with Joel that stops her from tipping over the edge, as she remembers that she forgave Joel for the fireflies lie, and so she forgives Abby. Speaking of. Playing as Abby was an amazing experience. Seeing the other side of the coin only conflicted me more into realising who here was the villain, only deepening the characters. Not only that but once agin giving part 1 a deeper meaning, being that Joel’s choice in the first game had consequences, his lie with Ellie, his wrong doing against Abby, and it all ties that together in the perfect sequel, that I believe is The Last of Us Part II… 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]
