    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Give us an option to kill Abby.
    Its bad enough that the devs hoodwinked the fans with the trailers but giving us a hopeless story with a very unsatisfying ending is a slap in the face.
    The gameplay is solid, the graphics is great but the story is awful and the ending reinforced it instead of correcting it.

    The game encourages players to explore the beautiful but dangerous world by rewarding the players with more character dialogue (getting to know the characters more), supplies and ammo for an in game edge on all the dangerous survivors and infected in the world.
    The games story did an excellent job in bringing out my emotions such as: hate, anger, sadness and shock. "The Last of us part 2" is not a story where everything turns out fine in the end,and you feel happy finishing it. It rather leaves us contemplating the moral decisions we play throughout the game, and if our actions were truly justified.
    One of my highlights of the game was how it made me think. There were a lot of moments in the game, where i found myself speechless and made me question my own morals, and how it would reflect if i was in that world. It emphasizes on the fact that there are no "good vs bad" in life, we're all just people trying to survive, but we are also "people" who make questionable decisions and moral choices, and the characters in "The Last of us part 2" are no different from that.
    Game play wise, i feel that the gun play is the most unique out of any of "Naughty Dog" game, on how the Guns feel, look and sound realistic. The Guns feel heavy and damaged, contrasting itself to the games characters Themselves. The Stealth feels like the original "Last of us",but with more variety on how i would play with the NPC's, but at the same time more tense. Often found myself contemplating if i should use my supplies i recently found to make a med kit, or to rather make a Molotov. The decisions you make will accompany your play style.
    I personally loved the "skill points" in this game, even though it's similar to the original "last of us", the skills are more grounded and avoided what i feel like most games do. Often times with skill points, i feel like you'd buy a skill just to get to another one, and never use the original one you bought. I found myself finding every skill worth using in my first play through.
    My only negative in the game is the enemy Variety, throughout my play through, i found myself bored with the enemies. There's only a handful of different human enemies, and they all can virtually be taken out the same way you would a basic enemy with a pistol. The infected, i felt were unfortunately the most boring. Most level designs were runners and clickers, occupying the same space, with the occasional Shambler to make it more tense, and often times left me hoping for more enemy variety which the game lacks on.

    "The Last of us Part 2" was an emotional journey, with some of the best game play and story telling i have seen from"Naughty Dog", but unfortunately lacks in enemy variety. it's an amazing game worthy of it's predecessor, and a game that's meant to open conversations about moral choices in life. already looking forward to my next play through.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rarely do reviews, but for this game I had to write one. For gamers who are looking forward to play this game based on the reviews, I would suggest not to do so otherwise you would be missing out one of the finest games ever.

    One observation that I had is how the game's user score kept improving consistently. About a week or so before writing this, the user score was 3.7 and now after 10 days it has improved already to 4.8. This gives an indication how premature those initial negative reviews were. A lot of those reviews might have been made with out even playing/watching the full game. Here's a detailed review for different sections below.

    Graphics and visuals: 10/10. Simply can't expect any better than this in current console. Few of the areas looked amazing such as haven, the village, the jungle, the bridge e.t.c.

    Gameplay: 8/10. The gameplay is amazing. The stealth aspect is also wonderful. Still I am giving it an 8 because of one reason. That is how the game forces you to play as different characters in the moments of a conflict. For example in the initial fight between Ellie and Abby you are forced to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie. Since by that time Ellie is already such a favorite character, you might not enjoy those few moments.

    Level designs: 10/10. To me it has even surpassed the first part. There are many new kinds of infected such as stalker, shamblers, weird new bosses. All that added to the excitement and intensity of these fights.

    Story: 8/10. No matter how disappointed you might be after the death of Joel, there is a very good chance you would still like the story for how it is if you go with an open mind about it. Of course, to some people killing Joel in such a way so early in the game would mean end of the game. But to me the story that they put was still good and interesting. I also enjoyed how they organized the whole story telling by switching between characters. One weak point I felt about the story is how easily Abby kills her wolf-mates when she's fighting against them with Levy. Same goes for Yara as well. But of course, desperate times. Despite these the story is still amazing'    … Expand

    A história é muito ruim,, e os personagens são mal desenvolvidos, Joel morrer com duas horas de jogo é um absurdo para os fãns do jogo e ainda mais da forma que ele morreu e a Ellie parecia uma menina mimada. Cara isso deu até preguiça do jogo.

Naughty Dog certainly chose to not play it safe and have delivered something that is challenging and in many places profound, although this seems to have been lost on many of the other "reviewers" on this website that have given it a 0 out of 10. Hopefully it should be clear to anyone thinking of buying/playing the game that a 0/10 is not a score that is given by somebody that is thinking critically about their experience but is rather showing that they have an axe to grind (the repeated use of the terms "SJW" and "politically correct" should inform you of the level of intelligence some of these people exibit). After playing the game you will probably find that a great deal of the criticisms levelled at the game's story can be disregarded with a some careful thought and attention payed to the subtle clues that are dropped throughout the 25 to 30 hour experience.

    So anyway, with that out out of the way, what do I think about the rest of the game? The graphics are superb. There are multiple environment types and locations, and even though much of the game is set within a ruined overgrown cityscape I felt that the visuals were rarely repetitive. This is a game that is truely stunning to look at.

    The combat is (by today's standards) quite basic, but that isn't necessarily a criticism. I found that there were parts that felt unnecessary clunky (the fist-fight "boss" scenes in particular) and were a bit of a chore to get through. On the whole though, the gameplay was fun but occasionally repetitive.

    As a hobbyist game programmer myself, I am absolutely astounded at the artistic and technical acomplishment that the individuals working at Naughty Dog have achieved here. I doubt that many of the reviewers giving 0/10 scores (yes I'm still salty about that) have any notion of how much talent and work goes into making a body of work such as this. The game is receiving high praise from game critics though, and I suspect that if we could filter out all of the 0% "review-bombs" from the user score we would find a rating more in line with what the critic's have given.

    The only truely negative thing that I will say about this game is that I was disappointed to hear about the levels of stress / "crunch" that the employees of Naughty Dog had to undergo during the making of TLOU2. I'm sure that most of us will agree that this kind of thing leaves an unpleasant mark on what has otherwise been one of the top gaming experiences of the year, and I hope that the "AAA" industry as a whole finds a way to create content like this without causing their workers to seemingly age 50 years in the process.

    Anyway, enough of this. I'm about to play the whole damned thing again in New Game plus, and I can't wait.    … Expand

    If I could provide an exact rating, then I would say this game is a 9.7/10. The main issues with the game are that the AI can be slightly messy at times and the gameplay does feel slightly repetitive. Sometimes I was still looting supplies in my sleep. However, the first game also had this same issue so anyone who hates on this game and not the first needs to rethink their life.

However, the first game also had this same issue so anyone who hates on this game and not the first needs to rethink their life. I have read some of hate reviews of this game and they have no substance. This game achieves a level of empathy and a conflict of our emotions towards characters which has never been done before. This game is groundbreaking in storytelling and should be seen as the catalyst to this. The gameplay is excellent and truly exhilarating which will keep you playing for hours without ever wanting to stop. This game will be seen as a classic once enough people have actually finished the game, unlike these haters posting 0/10 after the first 5 mins that the game came out. Play the game for yourself and I hope you’ll understand the story that is being told. You don’t have to accept the decisions that are pragtonists made but just appreciate and empathise for the reasons of why they did.… Expand

As a player, you were spending several time with Joel and Ellie to create a bound and you can't simple cut that bound as something simple. If you were thinking on generate a bound with that antagonist character, I visualize multiple ways to do it, but the way you make the game narrative, merely didn’t work. I feel the 2nd part of the game like an excuse to make you feel in tuning with the antagonist, all looks so much forced. I feel it long, stressful and with out any sense, also to force you to fight against Ellie and Tommy is something that is painful for the player. The game playing, controls and drawings are awesome, but all those incredible features get opacity by the bad narrative and 2nd forced path. The 3rd part is the worst, has 0 sense, you are not going to sacrifice everything, to get nothing. I don’t disagree with Joel death, that could be happened, but you make a disaster with a story, with a big potential game.

A very narrow and particular narrative being displayed, targeting a specific group of people (males) as toxic and troublemakers while the other group (females) being the holier-than-thou problem solvers. Good luck trying to sell that **** to the gamers, majority of whom are males and don’t appreciate such stupidity in games.

    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.
