    It is an absolute masterpiece. I can't stress this enough. A MASTERPIECE of gaming.
    It has its flaws like any other game before and like any game that is yet to come. But no matter if it's graphic, storyline, characters or gameplay, it's incredible. I cannot understand all the hate. Play it yourself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Niel Druckmann was too focused on the wrong things and even though the sound and graphic designs are amazing, it doesn’t make up for the complete lacklustre and disappointing story and boring characters. The first TLOU had those things but this is just a disaster and especially after the first is one of the greatest games ever. I love Joel and Ellie and their bond and relationship. I was really looking forward to hear and see and play Ellie’s story and follow her and Joel onward in this world, but instead we get a boring non compelling revenge is bad story where you play as a badly introduced character in Abby. They should either had made Abby her own game first or change the order you play the game in, because the way it is right now I don’t want to or feel anything for abbys character.… Expand

    This game is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart. This is a ultra violent revenge story. The first game was about the love between two characters. This sequel is the counter of that. This story is about hate. TLoU2 feels a lot like Jee-woon Kim's I Saw the Devil. For me, it's easily one of the beste story driven games ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its a damn shame the reception this game got from fans.
    After the simple, but well executed story of the 2013 play station last of us oriented around an middle-aged man losing his daughter after the outbreak of a global pandemic and reconnecting with his human side by befriending a girl of the same age 20 years later. changing from ruthless killing machine to ruthless killing machine who has a daughter figure.
    its a really simple, shallow story that would be near impossible to f*ck up due to its basic setup. but people lost their minds over this fairly average game with a memorable heartfelt story, and this along a side naughty dogs continuous climb of excellence making hit AAA title after hit AAA title people were expecting something they would never get.

    Last of us part 2 is a Good game. not a 'Sh*t' game and by no means a 'masterpiece'
    people expected something they would never get, the last of us again.
    The game is stunning, sounds like god, controls perfectly, is the single best animated game ever and is superbly acted. a lot of hard work was put into making the world. almost sweat shop conditions where people almost f*cking died due to naughtydog's crunch type game development. where people would be working up until 9pm. The game is worth playing alone for all of these reasons.

    But people aren't mad about this. They are mad about the story.
    So from an unbiased view, how is the story? pretty good. Better than most games you find in AAA titles such as Assassins creed or Gears of war or Call of duty or Days Gone. The only real issue is its slightly jarring structure and downright inconsistent pacing, that is being nice. but again most people aren't mad about that either. its the 'twists'and deaths and lack of character development.

    Before i go into spoilers let me just say i do recommend this game, and i recommend it blind and i recommend that you play the game with the key word being 'Empathy'. You need a lot of that and a fair bit of emotional intelligence with a lack of bias to truly appreciate this game.
    Okay, spoilers from this point on:

    I would discuss the whole plot but i've sent my general thoughts and would just like to go over major plot points that people are pissed over and do my best to explain that these aren't poor decisions but instead are actual features of the narrative. starting with Joels death. people have called it 'pathetic' and 'rushed'. now whilst i somewhat agree with it being rushed it ins't a cheap move to make a plot its a natural and fair conclusion to what is a pretty terrible person. He is killed by someone that has more than all the right to kill him. the daughter of the surgeon who would've saved the world. Abby.
    please remember the empathy idea i brought up. This story is about empathising with 'bad' people.

    Second thing people are p*seed about is Abby. playing as her is very aggravating at first but as you play more and more so long as you don't b*tch and wine about tit the whole time and take your time to pay attention and listen to her side of the story, despite its annoying structure of turning back the plot and playing it all over again, you can empathise with her more and more. Abby feels terrible guilt for the brutal murdering of Joel and starts a journey to protect and help a brother and sister. and does so because of the guilt and because Abby sees herself in Lev (the brother) as he also had his family and home torn away from him. Like Abby had from Joels selfish acts.
    so long as you take the time to appreciate her story you will find yourself interested and invested in what is essentially a re-telling of the last of us 1.

    finally people don't like Ellies lack of an arch. to which i say, what the f*ck? the whole point of Ellies journey is that she has had her purpose in life taken from her by Joel, and finds her only motivation she has left is to kill. But not being strong enough emotionally she becomes more and more sad and psychotic, towards the very end looking like a genuine insane person with blood all over her terribly damaged body - reflecting her mind.
    Ellie doesn't learn and has caused herself to lose everything she had. Not Abby.
    Its sad to watch and play but its only natural this happens to someone, especially someone who's only 18 bear in mind. so her arch is shallow and she doesn't better herself but only worsens herself.

    So to conclude, most of what people disliked about the game was just the point of it. Play this game again and really think whilst playing and you may just find a unique story with a few interesting new things to offer.    … Expand

    Potentially my favourite game of all time. Loved the first when it came out, finished it 4 times. However I loved this game even more. People can't handle it's method of story telling, the controversy justifies it's uniqueness and brilliance. I have no tolerance for the stupidity displayed by haters. Philistines. 11/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is good but not as good as its predecessor. I played the game with an open mindset since I saw how users hate the game, during the first 2 hours of the game we witness Joel's death and I won't say that it was a reasonable way to kill him... it was not, I expected that Joel would die in the game, how I expected that is pretty simple, this is Ellie's story not Joel and Ellie from the first game, it was clear from the E3 Reveal, game cover and from the interviews. The reason to why they killed Joel is reasonable but the way they killed him was unreasonable.

    That brings me to Abby, I don't see a single reason why Naughty Dog thought that the player would sympathize with Abby. It is impossible to sympathize with the game's antagonist. Unlike Ellie, Abby is a very evil character, she has no morals... she kills her own with no remorse. Ellie on the other hand she is on a journey to "Kill Every Last One of Them" there are some scenes where Ellie kills Abby's friends/followers and she doesn't feel good about it, she has morals unlike Abby. At the same time the fan base have known Ellie since the release of the game and people liked her from her silliness and overall a funny character while she was learning from Joel. Abby is a new character that begun with an evil approach, no one cares about her flashbacks with her dad, nor can sympathize when showing us that she plays with a couple of pooches.
    THAT is why people sympathize with Ellie more than Abby.    … Expand

Joel's death is really hurt, and a game shouldn't take such a complex story, we need time to fighting and garbage collecting etc., damn it is not as good as 10, I do this because there are too many low scores just for anger and hatred, I just hope there will be a part 3. tears...… Expand

But it felt as hallow, and dumb as a blockbuster action movie. They really tried to replace Joel with Abby and it did not land with me. I really disliked more then half of this game. It was very difficult to push though to complete and left me wishing I hadn't played it. The first is the only game I recognize.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics, immersive audio and familiar but refreshed game play for Part 1. The story and dialogue from Part 1 was the main driver and attractor, Part 2 however, leaves much to be desired. Felt like there were political/social themes being forced into the narrative this time around and it felt so unnatural. One of the main characters has a physique that would just be near impossible to maintain given the world's conditions. Multiple new characters, uninteresting and under developed. I hate that this is what part 2 has come to.… Expand

    What an amazing achievement this game is. Besides the amazing visuals and improved gameplay, I really appreciated what ND did with the story. I applaud them for trying something different. Yes, it didn't work for everyone. But if it worked for you, it worked big time. The emotional rollercoaster that the game provides is unprecedented.

The graphics are phenomenal and the gameplay enjoyable although some times it can feel repetitive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра оставляет абсолютно ни с чем. Вся игра один сплошной месседж о том, что мы должны нормально относиться ко всем меньшинствам, и всё. Слили Джоэла, слили Джесси, ничего не оставили в конце. Любовная линия с Диной абсолютно никакая, её не за что любить, пока был жив Джесси, она металась туда и обратно, то к нему, то к Элли, поэтому не возникает никакой привязанности к ней, никакого сопереживания. Единственный положительный момент, который можно разве, что только додумать, это личные переживания Элли, из-за невозможности простить и проститься с тем человеком, который заменил ей отца, всё. В остальном игра крайне никакая, не раскрыта, растянута. Полно "сильных" женщин, которые все решают за "слабых" мужчин, в постапокалиптическом мире полным полно гомосексуалов и трансегендеров, что мы натыкаемся на них почти повсеместно. Мир игры остался на том же самом месте, ни развития, ни изменений, как подготовленный кусок глины, но без гончара. Если смысл игры в одно большом месседже на тему толерантности, то разработчики успешно справились со своей задачей. Если смысл всё-таки в развитии истории и персонажей, то они определенно справились с этим плохо.… Expand

    Intel's hate this game. All these negative reviews from people who haven't played the game just show how sad the gaming community is. No one takes this community seriously and for good reason. Get a life, get out the basement, you are what all the stereotypes stem from. It's sad and cringe. On top of that, I'm on my second play though and can say this game is amazing.

    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]
