    Personally, I think this game ticks all the boxes. The gameplay is amazing, the graphics are the best in this generation, and the story is jam-packed with emotion. 10/10 from me.

    A unique, engaging story for a mature audience. An atmospheric world, refined film dialogues. animations at a very high level. amazing sound and ambient. pleasant control. Refined in every way. the only drawback that comes to mind is the strange steering of the boat and the slightly out-of-the-box episode on the island of Scars.

The critic reviews offer an unbiased opinion on the game and you can see the rating there.

    For the actual review, this is one of the best games i have ever played, along with its predecessor. The studio behind this series doesn't disappoint as this one is just as majestic as the original and a true sequel to the first game. The brilliant story telling, beautiful visuals and enhanced gameplay dynamics which allow for more exploration and a more open world feel during battles is very enjoyable. The brilliant performance from the actors playing the characters that is displayed in the cut scenes brings each character to life. I felt a mix of emotions going through the different character arcs, such an experience i have never felt in any other game as it is a roller coaster ride. The story follows up from the previous plot but also revisits some scenarios from the previous game to explain what happened in between which explains the story perfectly and this answered all my lingering questions after i finished the first game.

    The world of LOU is visually beautiful and you can see the amount of effort that went into the game. The story kept me on the edge of the seat all the time. The game also explores various social/political issues and introduces a good mix of diversity which blends in with the story perfectly. It also does a great job at depicting how society crumbles in a post apocalyptic scenario and how war between different factions/races with differing values leads to unnecessary series of killing and violence.

    I want to revisit and finish this game at least a couple more times as it is so entertaining.

    With rdr2 best game of this generation. Mature, brutal and consistent story, jawdropping graphics and animation. It's not ideal but no game is (pace sometimes could be better, some characters motives are debatable) but still it's far above typical aaa game. Masterpiece.

I felt like something had happened to me in real life, bothering me. I went to sleep and the next day I just thought about the story, I started to sort out everything that happened and started to look realistically at the situations that were happening, without anger and disagreement. I figured this was a masterpiece. Nothing like this game has ever played me with emotion and it occurred to me to think about it. I understand people who are angry and I don’t blame them, but I have found something I will always remember and it won’t be easy to forget. And very instructive how life can be complicated and that sometimes you have to let go of problems, because you never know how far it will go.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never thought a form of entertainment could make me so upset and emotional. I was connected to Joel from The Last of Us Part 1 and I in many ways agreed with everything he did. Questionable and unquestionable. When the game subverted my expectations and had me thinking that Joel would be okay, I was hit like a truck when he wasn’t. I love this game. It deserves better then the people who are trying to bring it down.… Expand

    This game is a triumph in production, emotion, and character development.
    The story is not "by-the-book" and will leave you wondering, guessing, and thinking for hours after each time you play and Indefinitely after you finish.

The nuance of mechanics, graphics, audio, creative direction is like nothing I have seen in video game before and you can practically play this game as smoothly as a movie. It truly feels like a next generation title. The story is complex (much more so than the original which may surprise most) and difficult which i don't mean to sound as if its a bad thing because it's not. But it's where this games back lash has come from. The last of us 2's story is a true gritty piece of art teeming with dark beauty and harrowing pain. Play it with an open mind, and do not let your personal views cloud the experience of this game. Naughty dog are not trying to push a feminist agenda like the community is making them out to be. This has been blown out of proportion and echo chambered through the community in times of unprecedented social and political tension.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of people came onto here to express how they hate all the "left wing propaganda" but honestly grow up and review the game for what it is. The gameplay is enhanced significantly with many things that felt missing from the first game like the ability to go prone and have more jumping sections. This game has many deep themes with i'm not sure most players have picked up on. I see a lot of people say that the story makes absolutely no sense and that they don't understand why Ellie would not kill Abby in the ending, These people OBVIOUSLY didn't play and finish the game because it was quite obvious as to why she did what she did. The WHOLE GAME was building to that point. The message is that everyone is the same and everyone has different experiences. There is no justice in the apocalypse. There is no right and wrong. That one is especially important as that is what Ellie has to come to terms with and learn throughout the 30 hour experience. She comes to understand that Ellie and Abby are the same, both attempting to get justice and revenge in an unfeeling, cruel world where neither exist. Alongside the story of Ellie coming to forgive Abby, she comes to forgive Joel. Throughout the game she has flashbacks to her time with Joel, the good and the bad. And she comes to understand why he did what he did. At the same time she is trying to understand what kind of person could do that to Joel and as she finally comes to terms with Joel's decision she realises that she is the exact same as Abby. She understands that killing Abby will no longer achieve anything because what she really wanted was not revenge, but acceptance. Since Ellie has finally accepted her past with Joel and what her life means, she knows that killing Abby will only continue the cycle of revenge and death and not achieve anything. THE WHOLE GAME HAS BEEN BUILDING TO THIS POINT OF SEEING ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE. The game is literally built for this purpose. We have 50% Ellie, 50% Abby. Two women who desperately want to kill the other. We play as BOTH and, at least I did, feel for both characters. I was genuinly invested in the characters of Owen, Mel, Abby and Lev in the second half and when I came to one of the later missions where I find the corpses of both characters alongside the corpse of the lovable dog you've been playing with the whole game I felt huge remorse and sadness because I know that I KILLED THEM only a few hours ago. Not only this between the two leads, but between the main characters and every other enemy in the game. Any time you kill someone in a group in front of someone else, another enemy will shout "NOOO SARAH" or something similar, indicating that Wolf or Seraphite that you just killed had a name, friends, family and relationships with those around them and you just ended that in a push of a button. This happens throughout the entire game. As well as this, you find notes from the enemy sides either when your playing as Abby and killing Seraphites or when you play as Ellie and killing Wolves. You find notes from them detailing experiences and lives they had. The entire game is building towards the final moments where Ellie finally realises why other people made certain decisions.… Expand

    Every bit about this game is superb. And the narrative gives you a lasting effect, and make you mind think about it for while, unlike shiny trendy stuff of these days, it doesn't fear being sad and harsh.

    The gameplay improvements at first seem rather small but each new addition builds on the last games mechanics in surprising and fun ways. Probably the biggest improvement over the first game is the level design, levels are much bigger with multiple ways to clear most areas and so much thought and detail had been put into the environment. The graphics and sound design are astounding.

    The story isn't quite as good as the first games (near perfect) story, but it is still such an amazing, rich, beautiful character driven story, and the fact that people are calling this game sad and depressing is genuinely shocking to me. Yes this game is dark at times but the struggle between the light and dark within both it's characters and plot is what makes this game so compelling.    … Expand

    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]
