    To the ones giving a bad score... I feel sorry for you.

    This game will shake you like no other game has ever done. It is indeed controversial and it made me do things I didnt want, and some others were not like I wanted them to be BUT, because I can do it all over again, I will.

    As a fan of the first game, I’ve been waiting eagerly for this. Unfortunately, there were some major spoilers released that were disappointing. Now don’t get me wrong.

Now don’t get me wrong. What happened story wise in the spoilers I am not upset about. It’s just the fact that someone ruins other experiences. That aside. I quickly forgot about it once I’d started playing. This game is a masterpiece in story telling. People are complaining about the story choices but listen, they are only angry because they didn’t experience it organically through gameplay. Without the spoilers, no one would be complaining. This game is beautiful. It’s dark, it’s heart wrenching and utterly exhausting. This is exactly what you want for the Last Of Us universe. It’s not a walk in the park. It shouldn’t be. Not everyone will love the outcomes and that’s fine. Just enjoy the experience. I am a huge fan of the first and I am left very satisfied with this journey. The story of Ellie and Joel has been engrossing from the start and The Last Of Us Part 2 really takes it to the next level. There are some incredibly moving moments, and some dark, heartbreaking arcs. There are a whole new cast of great characters and luscious locations. Wonderful story telling. Hats off to everyone who worked on this magnificent game. 10/10.… Expand

    Forget about the hate, the same people hating in the future will be calling the game "Cult".
    Nice story, perfect graphics and gameplay similar with the first game but upgraded. MUST HAVE for all PlayStation owners.

    For me, the best moments in this game were the boss fights and the story exposition. I did my first playthrough on "hard" difficulty and it was really well balanced and fair, but presented a good challenge. The loop of killing enemies, hiding, repositioning, and figuring out how to kill the next enemy was super fun. I also enjoyed the two different play styles of Ellie and Abby. Both characters were badass in their own way, with Ellie feeling more nimble and tactical and Abby being an overpowered bare-knuckle brawler.

    The standout moment of the game for me was fighting the giant miniboss lady with the sledge hammer as Abby.

    Criticism 1: I think the game is slow to get going.

    Criticism 2: I think that in the pursuit of making "art", Naughty Dog mislead a lot of people, which maybe wasn't fair. I avoided the leaks and approached the game unbiased and absolutely loved it. I found myself waking up at 5am so that I could get a few hours in before work; I was completely addicted. The thing with art though is that not everyone appreciates it in the same way- people have different tastes and that's okay. I guess I'm trying to say that I understand why many were turned off by the game, but to me personally, it was a masterpiece.

    Also, I legit think many of the review bombers did it because playing as a girl with big muscles somehow assaults their masculinity. Not saying that everyone who didn't like it felt this way, but definitely some.    … Expand

    The crafting and weapon upgrades have also been massively improved, offering a wider selection of skills and abilities so you can really mix up the gameplay, it's incapable of becoming stale.

    Level design Is second to none here, players are heavily rewarded for their exploration and the areas are so big it is one step away from being a true open world. I've lost count of the amount of times i've finished a fight and then saw another piece of terrain I could have used and wanted to re-do the fight again.

    The story is absolutely fantastic, we can truly see the motivations of each side of the argument and are reminded that there is no such thing as good and bad in this world. Abbys plight is as important as Ellie's but there is also things to be learnt on both sides. Abby is a fantastic character with much the same motivations as Ellie and it's really interesting to see the story play out from both sides.

    I honestly couldn't recommend this game enough. Fans of the original will find all the same mini interactions and attention to detail that they loved in the first game, mixed in with a satisfying update to the combat and a thrilling story that will leave you bloodthirsty.

    It's a beautiful, well-written, morally complex video game that's ultimately smarter than most games and a lot of movies coming out these days.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being the most anticipated game of 2020 following the major success of its predecessor, The Last of Us Part 2 had some tremendous shoes to fill. It had to muster a thought provoking emotional story that rivaled the previous game, needed graphical quality that reflected the current generation, and gameplay that built upon the already flawless crafting and gunplay that we saw before. Yes, this game has its neigh-sayers, ridiculing the writing of the story-board designers because of the murder of a beloved character, but just because your favorite character was killed, doesn't mean the game isn't good, or you can't appreciate how they were able to build on the lore of the world, create new characters that you can relate to and mourn in their passing, and excel at moving beyond this departure of the supposed glue holding the previous game together.
    The LoU2 improves on it's predecessor in nearly every facet, notice I say nearly because I do want think Naughty Dog could've chopped up the story a little to make it less lengthy, but, that isn't enough for the game to receive zero's from fans on sites everywhere.
    The story was amazing, playing with your emotions from the the time you pressed play to the scrawling of the credits at its conclusion. From the immense satisfaction of being back in the LoU2's world, the moments of utter dread and sadness that came at the loss of our most beloved characters, and the anger that seethed within us, as well as Ellie and Abby as they embarked on their quests for revenge. You couldn't revel for five minutes within this decaying world without feeling on edge and having the sneaking suspicion that one of your allies would bite the dust at a moments notice.
    The passing of the protagonal torch from Ellie to Abby tinkers with emotions even further. You think as Ellie that you are in the right. You just trekked across the western part of the United States to seek your revenge on this mercenary party that butchered your beloved father figure, successfully perform said task, only to then change hands, see a new perspective, and realize that this world is not what it seems.
    You see that the world Abby inhabited wasn't too different from Ellie's. She had friends and family that she adored, a father who was lost, and a decision fueled by revenge that she believed would "make things right". But if there is anything that this game is trying to emphasize is that revenge isn't entirely a course of action worth pursuing, and that human beings aren't as reliable as we initially think. The story blurs the line between who is truly good and evil, and emphasizes that humans are incredibly prone to mistakes and acting rashly due to fits of rage and emotionally driven agendas.
    When I assumed the role of Abby I was disturbed by the fact that the characters I had killed were not mere evil-doers who deserved to get axed, but people who were a part of a loving and cohesive society just trying to live in this outbreak-stricken world. They had families, lovers, companions, just like anyone who was back in Jackson, or even Ellie herself, but due to our lack of knowledge we found ourselves rooting for someone who is clearly not on the correct side of the moral compass.
    This is what I love about the LoU2. This dichotomy presented between Abby and Ellie is not drastically different as we once thought and I love that the game forces us to consider who is the faction we should showing allegiance to.
    But I think there is another underlying message; that we are supposed to be combating the scourge of infected that inhabit our world rather than one another. Unify, instead of oppose one another creating bloodshed.
    This point is what I think a lot of people are missing and I think its poignant that we are reintroduced to that fact at the conclusion of the game when we discover that the Fireflies are not an extinct organization like we thought. There is still a chance to beat this virus and save humanity. But I guess we'll have to wait and see for when the sequel rolls around.
    Moving on from the topic of the story, the game is visually stunning and, debatably the most visually appealing game to come out this generation! The characters models are incredibly life-like, the textures and light exposure mirror reality, and dilapidated world that you are wading through is lush, green, and forgotten, adding to the magic of The Last of Us.
    The combat is is crisp and fluid, every encounter with an enemy is full of grit and viscera, and you teeter between feeling like an action-movie star to a mere mortal fighting for your life. To make this combat possible you have to craft weapons, survival gear and anything else that will help you best the fungal beasts and the gun-wielding barbarians. It improves on what was in place before and then some.
    To rap it up, The Last of Us Part 2 is near perfect. The story could've been tinkered to provide a swifter conclusion, but it is a worthy candidate for GOTY.    … Expand

    I'm 42 now, and i have been playing games since i was 14. This game has to be one of the games with the best story i have ever played. It made me think, it moved me, it managed to reach a height that few hollywood movies can match.

    The tension in the game can be very high. At more than one occasion, i simply needed to take a break because my heart was racing.

    This game also portrays death in a way that is never done before. Ellie clearly flinches when she cuts somebodies throat, and you actually sometimes feel sorry for your enemies. The enemies also reference each other with their name. All this adds to the grimness of the game.

    Not only is the story that good, but the technical execution is simply perfect: moving from a platform to a ladder is without hassle, camera behavior will never bother you, the inventory menus are intuitive and even making some ammo in the heat of battle is a breeze.

    All this combined with gorgeous graphics and sound design, and i cannot see why this game does not deserve a perfect 10.    … 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.
