    Loved this game. Technical masterpiece with the best animations and NPC AI of any modern game. Naught Dog has always been great with character animations and this is the best thing they've done so far. If like me you came into the game without knowing most of the spoilers and an open mind, you will really enjoy the roller coaster story this game puts you on.

    My only issue with the game

    My only issue with the game is with the level design can sometimes be confusing and can hurt the story pacing when you spend 5-10 minutes looking for where to go. That might bring it to a 9.5 for me but it didn't bother me enough to warrant rounding down to a 9.

    I’ve been gaming since 1998, and I’ve got to say, this is the single greatest game I have EVER played. The graphics, the gameplay, the fluidity of animations, the polish, the storytelling, and the emotional impact are second to none. Might be too dark and emotionally heavy for some of y'all (made my cry like a lil **** and made me wanna stare out a window on a rainy day for hours), butI’ve been gaming since 1998, and I’ve got to say, this is the single greatest game I have EVER played.

Might be too dark and emotionally heavy for some of y'all (made my cry like a lil **** and made me wanna stare out a window on a rainy day for hours), but it’s an experience I will forever recommend, and one I believe every gamer should play in their lifetime. It’s a next-gen game on a 7 year old piece of hardware. I think it’s worth mentioning that I’m a big horror fan, and the reason why I couldn’t give the first TLOU a perfect score is because for something that was described to me as a survival horror, there really wasn’t much horror. But this one has levels that rank near the top of my list for scariest gaming moments in gaming, and I’ve played damn near all of ‘em. Major props, Naughty Dog, y’all don’t miss. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly went above and beyond what they already managed to do in part 1. A juxtaposing story on two people getting revenge for the killing of a loved one. I loved these characters. Everyone gives a stellar performance. It's honestly a triumphant game which so many people have dismissed because of the death of a major character. The world of the Last of Us is a grim, unrelenting one and the death is brutal and without remorse but that doesn't mean that character becomes any less important. Their presence is felt through the story in the lessons imparted by them.Abby is such a complex and faceted character, and a wonderful foil to Ellie. I loved playing her sections of the game and I can't wait to replay the game (and hope for a continuation in the future) Expand

I never read the leaks, but knew how the mob felt about it and kept my expectations super low. But after playing it, this game is a goddamn masterpiece.

    I want to give this game a bad rating because some annoying guy called A Quag to the Past kept spamming "TLOU2 GOTY stay mad" on my pokemon fansite and it was really annoying (not because TLOU2 won GOTY but because it was spam.) However, I have to give this game a 10 because this adaire guy I know likes this game and he'll be sad if I give it a bad review.

    I loved this game from the beginning until the very end. The storyline is pretty impressive and the whole experience is like an emotional roller coaster. I admire game developers for representing LGBT in a such deep way - not just showing one kiss or something but actually letting us see the dynamic between two characters at different stages of their relationship.

The writing is grippingly intricate and poignant; presenting a deep look into the lives, humanities and motivations of a diverse cast of characters struggling to survive and to do what they think is right. Major themes of revenge, forgiveness, xenophobia, and how we honour people we've lost are all touchingly illustrated with resonant metaphors that rival literary classics from authors like Hemmingway or Austen. Everything about the technical presentation from graphics to sound design to lighting to score, et cetera are all fantastic. My only hesitation about giving it a 10 is the lack of the Factions MP from the first game, but Naughty Dog has stated that they intend to release it separately. If you liked the first game and you're not some chud loser who cries about lgbt+ representation in media, you'll love this one too. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a honest review.
    I've only finished the game a month after its release and I'm blown away. Since the end of the first game I always wondered which consequences awaited our beloved Joel and I honestly you've hated if he faced none, no matter how much he meant for gamers.
    The idea of making us play with the game's "antagonist" was brilliant. By the end of it I can say that Abby and her crew were my favourite part of the game. The writing and cast storytelling it's nothing but perfection. People like me who get to watch a lot of movies, read a lot of books and of course, play as many games as you can, we get to a point where a generic storytelling can ruin the whole experience. This game it's a step above, it's one of those that haters will look at in 10 years time and wish they weren't that stupid, same today we know about the hate The Empire Strikes Back faced on its release, and many other examples.
    The creators managed to create a 30+ memorable cast, locations and sequences. They all look simple and straightforward, complex but not complicated, the right mix to make something unforgettable.
    I haven't even mentioned the game itself, it's mechanics. It has the best "awareness indicator" I've seen to date. You can customise it to your liking. I personally had the game's main core on survivor but my allies on very light, which made them very helpful. I played the game the way I wanted.
    I have 2 complaints ; firstly, your character tends to get into areas where they don't know if there's an exit. And secondly, in some wide areas, enemies there are just over a fence fail the listen the gunshots from your current battle, that's all I have to complain about the game.

    This game is a piece of art. It's sad to see so many small-minded people get angry for certain plot points or the fact that women play a large role in this game. Gender or sexuality is not important, but the fact that the game is awesome is all that matters. Great continuation of the first game, truly a masterpiece.

    This is the best game I have ever played and that's saying a lot. I'm an avid gamer but The Last of Us II breaks the mold and pushes gaming into the future. With all of the hype I was prepared to be disappointed but, to my great and pleasant surprise, it was a better game than I ever could have hoped. Thank you, Naughty Dog, for leading the way and showing other game developers how it's done.

    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]
