    One of the best video games ever created. Negative reviews are written by children who can't stop crying about a certain character's death.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is the best video game experience I've ever seen. Everything here enchanted me, especially the technical aspects, such as the soundtrack and the graphics. The game's story and plot are amazing, showing that in this world, there are no "heroes" and "villains", only survivors, who do everything for love.… Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II is the best video game ever made and it's not even close.

    It's not a game about revenge it's a story about loss and forgiveness. TLOU2 shows us that when searching for justice, violence is not an option, its a beautiful masterpiece that will always have a place in my heart.
    And I will end my review by this quote form Joel.

    Final Thoughts:

    Love it or hate it, The Last of Us: Part 2 is an experience you have to have for yourself. Its dense and thoughtful story is brought to life by stellar performances and a talented team of developers. It’s a game with lots to explore, to return to time and time again, and one unlikely to leave anyone’s mind for a long while. For the full review and more posts like it,    Final Thoughts:

    Now this was really hard for... Joel is my favourite character of all time, through and through. Watching him die was unbearable so rightly so I should hate this game.

But I don't, I think its a masterpiece. I think a majority of people who dislike this game haven't played or they didn't experience it properly or aren't open minded enough to understand it. This game isn't wanting to make you feel bad, it wants you to reflect, to show how pointless revenge is. It doesn't make things better, it caused everyone Abby knew to die, and Ellie lost everyone she cared about. The game wants you to feel something whether its a good reaction or not, that's the point of a game and for a video game to be able to create such an intense feeling is genius, not many other games can do that. The story is miserable, and its meant to because its a story about grief. You aren't meant to like Abby but to understand her, she lost her father so she was in the right to hate Joel, whilst Joel was in the right to save Ellie as even though he could have let her save the world, Ellie was Joel's world. Its a game about perspectives. Its not meant to be fun.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand how people rate this game...
    It has one of the most fascinating and plot-twisting story in video game history (in my opinion).
    It is a very mature story about hatred, love, denial and revenge, and with those It is not obvious after all which characters to love, and which to hate.
    Yes, Joel is being killed at the beginning, but this is what makes this story so heartbreaking. No other game gave me that feeling before, and I am grateful and angry at this game at the same time.

    In my opinion, one of the most important stories that everyone should learn about.    … Expand

    It is true that the script can be very controversial, but in my opinion it creates a powerful, realistic story that stays true to the spirit of the first part. It can be sad af but after finishing the game i can say it brought me some tears of happiness more than once. Can´t wait to see what HBO brings us with the second season.

    The last of us part 2 is probably one of the most inconsistent games of all time. This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting.

This game's visuals are incredible and have 10/10 voice acting. The controls and combat of the game are a huge improvement from part 1 as it is much more immersive and uses different ways to find treasures, etc. The first half of the game (before we turn to Abby) is near perfect, it has some intense moments and also keeps a fairly well-balanced pace. Until we get to the second half where I believe the final 3 hours should've been turned into its own last of us game because the ending feels very rushed and with a game like this, it should've been much more spread out. Also another negative about the game is that the game makes you feel miserable, watching a "beloved' character get tortured and killed or shooting dogs doesn't make you feel good and this makes another problem of the game, Pacing. One of the most important parts of a game is the pacing, and the pacing for this game is **** terrible, after watching Joel die, you then go onto a peaceful adventure looting chests and finding clues slowly, If a game had this, it wouldn't be boring most of the time, but the fact that we watched Joel die a gruesome death before, makes this game have a very weird narrative for the beginning of the game. I still do think that the stealth of this game is **** amazing and makes you feel SUPER tense while playing. overall the game had the potential to be incredible, but naughty dog being naughty dog, had to make it controversial and surprise the reader lol. Overall it's very hard to rank this game because when I think of all the amazing things of the game, I wanna give it a 9, but then when I think of the huge problems, it makes me wanna give it a lower score. Overall I do enjoy this game and the score of it doesn't matter so even though it's shown as a 10 (mainly to boost the score cause this game is much better than a 5/10) it's more of a GOOD/10 because this is Mr Morale & The Big Steppers Dialled up to 11… Expand

    Not what everyone wanted but this appealed to my personal taste and I thought this was a perfect sequel and an utter masterpiece.

    This is an emotionally manipulative journey that forces you understand and empathize. Before you know it you care for characters you thought you hated. Your forced to play both sides of a conflict that you just want to end, and I never felt negatively towards    Not what everyone wanted but this appealed to my personal taste and I thought this was a perfect sequel and an utter masterpiece.

    The world is beautiful, wondrous, dark, and disgusting all at the same time. The “gametography” is as if not even more beautiful than the first game, so many perfect shots can be found here.

    The combat is perfectly visceral, sly, brutal, and explosive.

    This is yet again another masterful achievement in gaming from Naughtydog. I’m so happy that I loved this.    … Expand

    Extremely well made game from start to finish, it is easily one of my favourite games. It has such a big emotional impact on the player, the story is gripping and very interesting until the very end. Gameplay and graphics are top notch. Simple 10/10. To all the review bombers: try to be a little bit more open minded and first finish a game before reviewing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game advances with the story in a way that nobody wants, we all want our beloved characters to continue their development, but this changes after joel's death, even so while you advance with a sour taste you begin to understand the message he wants to give and you start to feel a new taste, the way the story is carried out fits perfectly with the world of the last of us, a world where nobody is special, there is no hero who will never die, we are all equal and we all have a story behind us, and everything can be refuted quickly. This game has been quite an experience and I personally think it's the best game around gameplay and story. The best thing is that I bought it for 9 dollars but if I had to buy it at the launch price I would do the same because it deserves to be spent after giving me more than 3 continuous days playing, it is true that it lasts less but if you give it time to get to know and explore the whole game you have for a while… Expand

    I just finished the second part yesterday and it is was one hell of a ride! Apart from the awesome graphics and the technical uplift from the first game, I really liked the original story with a lot of plot twists.

    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]
