    This game is amazing. The mechanics are seemless, the graphics are gorgeous, and the story telling is intense. Overall, a masterpiece.

    Loved the first game. For this one, I actually tried to understand the developers and what they were trying to do. So let me start with the good: graphics and mechanics are spot on. The bad: Unfortunately, the game story is very important to me, and they really screwed up here. The death of certain characters was done in poor taste.

The death of certain characters was done in poor taste. And they had to insert a bunch of cultural Marxist SJW feminist bs, that I just can't stand. It is basically weak soyboys everywhere living along the manly or insanely tough and smart women; they even had a pregnant woman go out in the field, fighting. Why? Basically Antifa chumps inserted into the game. It is pathetic. I also didn't like that Ellie and Dina didn't have any chemistry. But I did like them as characters in general. Niel needs to get fired. We need some better writers and people that don't hold a certain ideology or agenda.… Expand

So I’ll keep it brief and spoiler free: The Last of Us II is a game that dares to challenge players expectations, not only of what the story will be but in what you as the player will think and feel. I’ve really tried understanding the perspective of players who hated or disliked the whole experience strongly, but I just can’t get behind that. If you’re looking for a feel-good father daughter banter road trip, this ain’t it. And if you feel betrayed by anything this game presents you really should work on broadening your horizon or at least trying to get behind the creators intentions. For me this game celebrated the first part in every breath it took. Yes there we’re parts that dragged at first or felt eye rolling in the sense of “I see what you’re trying to do here Naughty Dog, but it won’t work”. But if your willing to hear the story out and try to get behind characters motivation and feelings, you’ll have one of the most enriching experiences in media as a whole of the last few years. For me it was the most profound and cathartic gaming experience I ever had.… Expand

    Don’t believe the brigading incel mob. The mechanics are updated. The visuals are bigger, pushing the ps4 to it’s max. After playing it back to back with remastered, the improvements are jaw dropping.

    The difference, and why this has 9x the (spam) reviews of huge games like God of War, is there’s a gay female protagonist. That makes some dudes really really mad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I loved every single moment of it. By the end of it, I was really hoping Ellie would stop because she was getting too crazy with revenge and I’m glad that that’s exactly what happened. Every character had clear motivations and the parallels that were drawn between Ellie and Abby make me feel so bad for them but also understand them at the same time. Amazing game and I’m going right back into it on the harder difficulties. The pacing had some issues to me but that would only make it around a 9.5-9.6 to me so gotta pick 10.

    If you’re looking for a game that discusses some challenging subjects such as empathy, emotional blindness, revenge being a fool’s game, while also giving some fun gameplay (similar to the first but more brutal) then I would definitely say to give this game a try. To me the best way to experience this game is to try your best to see things from every character’s eyes. It might be challenging and understandably so but it definitely helps the point stick.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this was a decent game. Personally way too long. Every time I thought I had finished it kept going.

    People complaining about Joel being killed early I feel have a reason to but also not to.
    In the beginning, my only goal was to kill Abby and make her feel the pain that a lot of us would have had.
    I think the second half of the game does put Abby's revenge in perspective but I don't know if it needed to be literally another game. If it was potentially dabbled in here or there or even the opening cutscene started with younger Abby talking to her father who you learn is the doctor in Ellie's operation room. That would have set the story up a bit differently.

    I want to know more about Scars. Lev and Yara were great characters. I really grew to like Lev and his struggles and his inability to comprehend anything outside of the cult/religion that he has grown up in.

    Ending was good, it's not a happy ending for anyone involved.
    Tommy think's Ellie is a little **** for not wanting to go find Abby - and he's potentially splitting up with Maria.
    Abby and Lev were almost killed by that group of harvesters? And pretty much **** even before Ellie tried to kill her.
    Dina has lost her partner to revenge and has packed up and left. And .... as far as I'm aware not even left a note for Ellie.
    And Ellie is alone again in the world. Joel's gone. Jesse's gone. Dina's Gone. Tommy's gone.

    I think that's good. Not every game has to be a happy ending. I don't think that is what The Last of Us needs to be. So I did enjoy that.

    If anything, the game could have been tightened up. Even by 5% or something, I believe that would have really helped with the pacing.    … Expand

    It's a whole new experiment in the genre of games. It is the best work in terms of game play mechanics and message delivery. However, it may not be a game that everyone can enjoy because it is doing a kind of experiment that is difficult to gain the support of the entire public.

However, if you prefer a more comfortable, simple, and easy-to-understand story to an uncomfortable and challenging question, you won't find any reason to play this game.

    I'VE WORDED MY COMMENT TO AVOID ANY SPOILERS AS BEST I CAN BUT MADE A NOTE WHERE SPOILERS MAY BE HINTED.

    Why do I feel like I'm the only person who LIKES the game? I think it's because I didn't spend 7 years with the characters. I played "The Last of Us" just last month for the first time. I did, several years ago, watch the opening scene with Joel and Sarah in someones Lets Play. But    I'VE WORDED MY COMMENT TO AVOID ANY SPOILERS AS BEST I CAN BUT MADE A NOTE WHERE SPOILERS MAY BE HINTED.

    Why do I feel like I'm the only person who LIKES the game? I think it's because I didn't spend 7 years with the characters. I played "The Last of Us" just last month for the first time. I did, several years ago, watch the opening scene with Joel and Sarah in someones Lets Play. But other than that, I had no idea what to expect from the game. I played it, loved it and was ready for part 2. And I was so very happy with how they continued the story.

    Maybe I've not played enough video games so I don't have context on how much better the story could have been told. But as a filmmaker and someone who loves watching films that challenge you (if done well) than I appreciate them. I felt that was about Last of Us 2. And when I see people raging about THAT scene with THAT character... I think "That's what the game developers wanted, because you need to be as mad as the characters in the game. You need to have every fiber in your being aware that this post-apocalyptic world **** SUCKS. It's awful to a degree few of us have ever understood or experienced."

    I also hear people complaining about the second half and how you start doing something else.... but I LOVED IT. I got the message loud and clear. Violence is awful and sometimes we don't fully appreciate that when we kill millions of nameless people in all these different games. Naughty Dog wants you to think about those people. Really think about them. In fact, live in their shoes and get to know them so intimately that by the time their life is about to be ended, you'll want to fight against that and refuse to let them die.

    When someone says "This game is TRASH!" all I hear is someone upset about what happened to their character... and yeah, both you and your character are furious with what happened, I think that's great that a game could have such an affect.

    THIS PARAGRAPH IS BORDERLINE SPOILER: We all loved Joel. That's why he was the ONLY character who THAT could have happened to, to be what pushes Elie on her journey. And more importantly what pushes the PLAYER to take control of Ellie and find that revenge. And conversely, I thought the game did a fantastic job explaining why Abby did what SHE did and why she shouldn't be seen as strictly a villain. Yes , Naughty Dog wanted to compare Abby and Ellie and actually I thought they did that well too. But it was also just about reminding us that they are all people, including Abby. Not cartoon cutout bad people. Sure it's a little weird how we're introduced to Abby but soon enough I sure understood her and FELT for her because of how Naughty Dog made me interact with her. /BORDERLINE SPOILER END

    That's the bottom line for me, if media wants to tell me a story about shock, sadness, anger, revenge, and wants me to feel what the characters are feeling, then the media needs to make me equally as upset as the characters I'm watching/reading/listening to. This game does that in spades. It's a game that takes place in a **** world, and we can't just look at it from the outside. We can't think "At least I can respawn! I can open up a save and so something different, and it'll be like nothing ever happened!" No, things in the world of Last of Us are sudden, shocking, horrific, unfair... and I don't think it's enough to base that on some unknown character or whatever other method people use. We need to be suddenly shocked, horrified and feel like it was unfair. That's the only way to get the players to feel the way they NEED to feel for a game like this.

    And I do hope... even feel like many of these reviewers who are so negative will come around after some more thought.    … 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]
