    I have no words, this game is a mix of sadness and happiness, that make me feel empty.
    Like "I know that append, but I don't want to accept it".
    The end it's something I have never seen before, I was litteraly crying.
    The final flashback of joel give a sense to all story but it hurts seeing him sad for ellie, knowing that he would die.

    When i finished The Last of Us Part 2, i wasn't able to talk or say anything to anyone for a whole hour.

    I was (and still am, 2 days later) emotionally drained. I have no words to describe everything this game made me feel. It's a piece of art that will stay on my mind for many, many years. It's written so perfectly that it makes you feel in the character's shoes. You question    When i finished The Last of Us Part 2, i wasn't able to talk or say anything to anyone for a whole hour.

    I knew some of the leaks, and still when plot points that i already knew happened, they hit me like a train because how well executed they were.

    Thought provoking story, amazing and believable characters, incredible acting, beautiful graphics, out of this world audio design.

    I can easily say it's 10/10. It is now my favourite game. Made me cry a lot. I'll start replaying it once i'm feeling okay again.    … Expand

    Masterpiece. Really made me look at the characters not just as zombie killers who are surviving the apocalypse but as fully fleshed out human beings with motives and feelings of their owns. Environment is on a whole nother level. Fun mechanics and they really reward exploration. Had a blast, shed some tears, and really enjoyed every minute

    The ideas behind what they were trying to do with the story are decent albeit bland, however the issue with the story is how they execute those ideas. Characters are also forgettable or shadows of their former selves. I give the game this rating because it has very nice visuals (AAA standard for 2020).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you expect uncharted 4 with zombies you may as well not buy it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Uncharted! But this game is an emotional roller-coaster containing everything:
    - violent endings
    - empathy and moral dilemma - gore and terror
    - revenge and pain
    - teardrops and anger
    - love

    It’s basically entertainment for grownups, not children. It’s a story that makes you feel and it seems that some people can’t handle that. Spoilers below:

    You’ll probably be as shocked as I was when Negan killed my favorite characters in The Walking Dead when Joel dies. You will feel betrayed and hurt. I believe some people gave the game a bad review solely because of that twist in the game. Same thing happened to the walking dead tv series. A lot of people quit the show because of that. Except real fans.

    Don’t worry though. Joel will be present throughout the game. Abby is another great character you get to know and love. The dynamics of this love/hate relationship between you and the characters as well as between the characters themselves is emotional and well done. There’s seldom a game that has put me through so many different feelings and emotions. Abby is an intriguing character. I love how the game portraits her. She’s not conventional at all and after reading some other reviews of the game I can’t help but comment on this: 1) the game couldn’t care less about explaining her gender identity because it wasn’t needed to be explained. If you think she’s a trans or gay or whatever, that says more about you than the character. 2) Ellie was always a gay character and that’s not a spoiler, have you even played the previous game?

    The ending is open. It’s room for more storytelling. Ellie’s journey has not ended. Neither has Abby’s.

    10 out of 10 from me.    … Expand

The game did not live up to the first game due to pretty basic themes and storytelling. it relies heavily on pre-established emotional connections to characters to play on emotions, many of the new characters introduced seemed pretty simple with little to no depth involved expect maybe one or two. The gameplay was pretty much the same as the first and that's a good thing because the gameplay loop is very enjoyable. Beautiful environments and gameplay are the main things that make this game good. If the first game had not been such a masterpiece and upped the bar on what we expect from naughty dog storytelling this equal wouldn't have felt as bland.… Expand

    Why did you add a noise filter to hide the defaults or the doanwgrade of the games?
    Total disappointment the gameplay of the horse is to be reviewed because it slides on the side the gaming experience is marred by details and the 30FPS the impression that the character when you rotate big blur effects and the noise filter that the thing even worse.

The graphics are top notch, absolutely gorgeous in 4k. I know that this game is getting alot of negative reviews, but the majority of the people havent finished the game. the game. So becarefule.Bput

The development between characters and even less important ones seemed so life like. Only a 9 not a 10 because I get emotionally invested in everything and cried at the end. I got upset only because the characters were brought to life and felt so real in this game, so much I didn’t like how Ellie ended up alone after the first game she told Sam that was her biggest fear.… Expand

    Being a huge fan of the first game, i was kinda disappointed with the story but that doesn't mean that the game isn't amazing. As neil druckmann said, it's not for everybody. I wish the story was different but the game just shows that not everything goes right in a world of apocalypse.

    The art, graphics, atmosphere, and attention to detail are all stunning. There are so many things this game got right only to be drowned out by the writing and character choices.

    The game almost seems to be directed and written by different people who have completely different views on what the first game was, what it was about, and the justification for the things that the characters did in that setting.

    This game took a turn basically the way GoT did. The first seasons were well fleshed out and thoughtful then in the last few seasons it seems like a completely different entity. This is exactly the way TLOU2 feels while playing. Its the same "show" just in essence just completely different from what came before it.    … Expand

I was a little worried about how the story would play out after the incident that occurs about 1 hour 30 minutes into the game, how the game would continue and how it would keep me playing. Those fears were put to rest when I continued playing. The gameplay is top notch, the survival horror aspects have you on the edge of your seat.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game definetly has excellent graphics, character animations/great facial expressions,weapons and customization options, good sound quality and solid AI, but the storyline is very disappointing. I think that after ending of the first chapter losing Joel in such a controversial manner wasn't appropriate. Moreover being obliged to play and emphasize with the character that killed him for literally ages feels very forced and painful . The ending is the worst though, it made me feel depressed and empty, like i wasted money and time for nothing.

    Finished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at timesFinished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at times and feels like your spending to much time clicking triangle trying to find out where to go next instead of actually playing the game the whole love triangle heavily influenced LGBT thing was way to focused in the game not that I have any problems with it but once agendas start running the show in video games it starts to mess with the plot point and can start to confuse the players immensely I love almost all of Naughty Dogs work but when they said “Fun” was not a word they use they took it to another extent they took the game out of the video with cutscenes that easily take up almost half the game not to mention the Abby parts big sheeeeeeeeesh. Aside from all that we all expected the Combat, Gameplay, Customization, Visuals, Graphics, Soundtrack, Infected, Mechanics, AI to be phenomenal which it was but with The Last Of Us being a mostly story driven game and “Ellies Revenge” never really being a thing I think its fair to rate it a 5/10 would I buy it again ? Definitely not for the 60$ price point especially with it having no multiplayer mode but if you could snatch it for a lower price it definitely would not be a complete waste like I said right direction but was not executed in the right way not that everyone expected it to be a Disney fairytale but it really does feel like there’s no possible way this is what a company like Naughty Dog comes up with in a 6 year development of one of the most cherished PlayStation exclusives of all time… Expand

    This game was gripping and a fantastic game. Just because some dick spoiled Joel's death doesnt overshadow how good of a game it is. Cant wait to jump back in on a new game plus and play again.

    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]
