    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wouldn’t rate this game a perfect 10/10. It’d be closer to a 10 than a 9, however. So, on the scale options given to me, it gets a 10. The only thing I didn’t like about it was how it made me feel. It is a very difficult game to play because it is so powerful and depressing. From Joel’s brutal death to the journey that follows, there are so many terrible decisions made by the main characters, so much pain, death, anger, and hatred that I found the game very difficult to play at times. But what happened was the realization that no other game I’ve ever played had made me feel so many things and challenged my views/beliefs on so many topics. I finished the game a week ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. It’s that powerful. Kudos to the Naughty Dog team for taking such a huge gamble with the 2nd installment of perhaps the most beloved game/IP of the past decade. I didn’t like feeling all of those things (who enjoys feeling depressed?), and I play video games b/c they’re fun, but this game is still too good and too powerful to ignore. I highly recommend it to anyone, but just be prepared for an emotional journey unlike any you’ve ever experienced.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Goty, I don't know what else to say.
    First of all to get things out of the way Tommy had already said Joel's name to Abby since he is more innocent than Joel so, that is why Joel said his name, it's not bad writing, Abby already knew that he was Joel so it wouldn't make sense if Joel refused to say his name. People can't deal with a story where the main character doesn't get the revenge. I bet everyone who rated 0 when they started playing Abby's side though "I will kill her so I will not hear her side of the story" resulting in not liking her, so when Ellie didn't killed her they got really pissed of. I guess people can't have a different game, they like when everything is predictable    … Expand

    After playing the game and after getting the platinum (50+ hours) I can say that this game is a masterpiece! The graphics are absolutely stunning, the atmosphere and the scenario are great! I think every ps4 user should get this game! If you don't want to spent so much money right now wait but have to play this game!

    Playing this about 12 hours and damn I love it, it's like growing up, it's not for "kids" it's not for weak minds, it made me angry, it made me happy, it made sad, I connected to the game, it's really good having this narrative in games nowadays

    The story is outstanding. I'll remember it for many years. Character development is at a level that very few works have achieved in any medium. It looks incredible. Unbelievable what the PS4 Pro can do. The filmography, the direction, voice acting, character models, environment details, everything is superb in a way that few games or movies can compare.

The filmography, the direction, voice acting, character models, environment details, everything is superb in a way that few games or movies can compare.

    But make no mistake, this is no interactive movie. Gameplay is great, engaging, challenging, brutal. It will make your heart beat faster. It will make you scream and curse.

    Engagements are way more complex and way longer than in many games. They keep you on your toes and keep the adrenaline pumping. Weapon handling is very satisfying and there's great variety of weapons, enemies and strategies Having played the full game, I can't think of any better game on this generation. For me it beats Red Dead Redemption 2 (which is comparable in tone, looks, gameplay and scope). It looks better than God of War, which is saying a lot. Combat is as intense as any war game.

    In summary, it is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    I found that this game was a perfect blend of action and tension. Its a great game for the fans of stealth action. So many improvements have been made to the stealth gameplay from the first game. The new stealth doesn't make you invisible though, and still adds to the tension of the game. The last of us 2 still keeps you somewhat grounded in the game, and keeps you on your toes all the time. As for the story, it was a bit muddled in terms of pacing, but still had enough of an impact on the player to invoke a little thought. Aside from the common complaints of this game, it is actually brilliant.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (updated)
    Regarding the first teaser-trailer: Joel is only in Ellie's head, giving only one possible direction as a theory. It did not promise anything. This was the only logical "theory" that has now been confirmed.
    Also, regarding the "scam" of the Release-Date trailer: Joel might have been alive originally and Druckmann changed it later. However, I don’t think so, I think this was done intentionally. Not to fool their audiences but to scare them or something. Yes, the media team made the cuts between scenes too fast, true. But: Like in the first teaser, Joel (as Jessie) here could be a hallucination (he wants her to stop), because she expected Joel, everywhere she goes she has Joel on her mind. You can see her hopeless face, after she sees Jessie’s face.
    Well, this was only for explanation reasons. This is not confirmed or anything, but it does make sense.

    Actual review:
    I have played a lot of masterpieces, The Last of Us Part II might be the best of them. Personally, I enjoyed other games more (bc this game is mostly not about fun), but purely objectively TLoUPII is the best game, or at least in the top 3 games of all time. I enjoyed it with various emotions, shed tears and laughed. Please don't listen to haters and finish the game first, form your own opinion. The gameplay, story, acting (check out the facial animation), the characters, the graphics are all top-tier. The story could have been better, by that I mean that the order of events could have been structured differently. The pacing certainly isn’t perfect. Certain scenes split the player-base, are completely logical though. Everything of what comes before and after these scenes was done insanely good. The overall game is a masterpiece of writing that I have rarely seen in any media. And no, I have finished a LOT of games, but only this game has captivated me, entertained me that much. I usually rate games based on facts, not necessarily supported by my own opinion and TLoUPII does not deserve anything below 9/10, sorry. It's unbelievable how much work and love (and cruelty) was put into this project.
    I hope the PS5 version fixes a few things, adds 60fps and ray-tracing. Maybe there will be an optional story-order to choose from, or additional paths.
    We’re still waiting for Multiplayer Mode (as a stand-alone) and it’s coming soon.
    I currently give it 96/100. The PS5 version will probably top that.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    Logical consequences to what happened in the first game and the game is a technical masterpiece. Best graphics/physics i've seen on a console. Really enjoyed the plot, felt realistic and didn't try to cater towards the parts of the fanbase that didn't understand the implications of what happened at the end of TLOU1. I give it a 10. Looking forward to 3.

The story may not compete with the previous as the previous was such an amazing game and that would go for many games such as the witcher 3, the next witcher won't compete in story however this game **** on the previous in many different ways. You feel emotionally attached to Ellie, you feel every moment with her. Remember it's the last of us, people complaining about gameplay are clearly repetitive and only like running and gunning, a massive upgrade from the previous. Dont let silly review scores on metacritic and any other Internet troll tell you otherwise, dont let it put you of this game.

    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]
