    The last of us 2 personally seems to me one of the best games out there on ps4.
    The gameplay is impressive, as are the graphics, soundtrack, and history. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally loved it. There was some issues with it such as not going in depth with the Rattlers, Owen's motives, the sex scene, but overall I thought it was good. I'm being generous with my review because I feel the game is getting unnecessary hate from "Joel fanboys" who are just triggered that the game killed off their favorite character and how "unjust" his death was.

    Granted some people may genuinely hate the game and that's ok, but I think the story was good. It made you see things from the villain's perspective and had people relating to Abby and see where she was coming from and if you can make a sympathetic villain like Abby that's good story telling. There was also little key things throughout the story that painted a bigger picture and deeper story. An example was the bracelet Dina made Ellie. It spurs questions to the end of the story. Depending on how you look at it, either Dina left Ellie or she's back in Jackson waiting for her while she says bye to Joel.

    The moral was also on par with the last game. The last game the theme of family was consistent throughout the game and in this one the theme of vengeance was also heavily emphasized.

    As for the complaints that the promos were misleading because it lead you to believe that Joel wasn't dead. I'm not sure if anyone remembers the promos for the first game, but it lead me to believe that I would be playing Ellie instead of Joel the entire time. So this isn't the first time that we've been mislead before.

    I just hate seeing a well developed game get bashed because the users disagree with the story and now it's gotten to the point of threatening the voice actors. This fandom is becoming as toxic as Star Wars and all because everyone is just upset because they're obsessed with Joel.    … Expand

    The problem with all the negative reviews is that they wanted a fan service for a sequel. Naught Dog did something entirely different and they couldn't accept it. Also, the story showed that no one is innocent and that there are no heroes in this violent world. It's a realization that makes you feel uneasy.

    This game gets way more hate then I think it deserves. I'm not a very good reviewer but I enjoyed playing the game. I think if you take a minute to see things in Abby's point of view, you really understand her intentions. Its different from the first game but in a good way.

    Graphically this game is an 11/10 but man the story sucks! I was actually ok with it up until you are forced to beat Ellie as Abby. I was trusting the game to come through as its a story is a marathon, not a sprint but they never delivered. I didn't want to play as Abby but understood where the game was coming from making me play as her and seeing her POV. I understand that and I do respect that. The game wanted me to see Abby as a human and understand her motives and not just be a one dimensional "bad guy". I did see her POV and I did understand her motives but that didn't change the fact that I hate her and want to play as Ellie again so I can kill her. The section with Abby dragged on WAY too long and when I was forced to "hunt" and then beat Ellie I almost turned the game off for good. I continued thinking that after all this Ellie would finally get her revenge but no, 30+ hours and no pay off. The game really expects me to hate Ellie and see her as the bad guy now? Not happening! You've taken one person I care about away in Joel and that was a bold move but I am not turning on Ellie. I was actually ok with Joel being killed if the premise was to exact revenge but you never get it. Abby gets to sail off into the sunset (almost literally) after she got her revenge but Ellie loses everything. You never really see Abby grow as a character and she never shows remorse for what she did to Joel. You see Ellie struggle with some of the things she has done, Mel especially, collapsing to the floor when she realises she just killed a pregnant lady but no such thing for Abby. In fact when she finds out that Dina is pregnant she says "good" and goes to slit her throat only being stopped by Lev.

    The positives of this game is that it is visually stunning, just breathtaking at points and i did enjoy playing it but the story and disappointing, stupid unsatisfying ending ruined not just the game but the franchise. If they make a third game with Abby as the main protagonist (which im really worried they will) I wont be buying it. I feel so let down by how this game ended. 7 years I waited for this and its such a huge slap in the face.     … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games of the year, up to this point. For starters, graphics are from another planet, the game is just beatiful to look at, naughty dog made a masterpiece out of the pro and i'm sure for slim/fat too. Story is not just a continuing of the 1st past, is more of a step forward towards the enviroment as a whole. The game is dark, the human urge to survive, the hunger for more that even in these times is not absent and the game of power that people play for decades. A punch in the guts, to have a look at humanity naked. The Abby part of the game seemed as it was necessary for the storytelling, it was a great idea to get to see the side of the "bad guy", the way it was written made it almost crazy to end her. Storywise Ellie was more mature, too, after the event that kickstarted the game. Mechanisms are not very different from part 1, with some great additions that were necessary to be present. This game is a must play.… Expand

I loved the game. I rarely replay games because I always have so many others to play and never enough time to do so. However the second I finished I wanted to get straight back into it. It’s also not often I buy a game at release let alone preorder. I wait for sales for pretty much everything. I preorder this and did not regret it.
    I love the gameplay and really like trying different ways to take out enemies both human & infected. As well as trying to sneak through whole encounters untouched. Several parts made my heart race and I was trying so hard in real life to hear any little sound or spot movement, especially for stalkers. The game is dark and there’s lots of parts that genuinely pulled at my heartstrings. I hope there’s gonna be dlc or something like that because the ending felt a little missing. I get that not everyone likes the same things in a video game, but I wish people got less upset about someone enjoying something they don’t.
    I like story driven games. I like survival style games. I loved the 1st game. So for me this was a great buy and I would definitely recommend.    … Expand

If there's something specific you wanted out of this game, you may not like it as much as me. If you can't keep an open mind or you're just a bigot you might even be on here giving the game a zero. The game isn't perfect in every respect and has some jarring transitions in story and gameplay near the middle portion. You may not even "like" this game. It isn't "fun" the way some other games are. It filled me with a sickening sense of dread at the fate or actions of my favorite characters. There will be painful moments where you watch characters make decisions you don't agree with. But the game isn't made for you to like it or to be traditionally enjoyable. It isn't a game that cashed in on the latest trends or played it safe to reach the broadest audience. It's a game that was made to get a point across and make you think about what's important to you. And by the credits I had no doubt that it had accomplished that goal. That's the mark of a true work of art. I can't ask for anything more than that.… Expand

Each protagonist and all their connections are revealed as much as possible. Experiencing each main character. The authors raised the theme of the circle of cruelty of malice and hatred. The outcome of the story is very realistic, it is not always possible to get rid of the void after loss. The main thing is not to stop and will learn to let go and put up with these losses.
    First of all, for me, this is the best game for its plot, authorship and graphics. Authors can start creating serious scripts for films!    … 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.
