This game is an emotional journey in a beautiful, terrifying, immersive world that will make you cry, laugh, scream and keep you on the edge of your seat. There are so many negative reviews from people who never played the game. Story and gameplay wise, this game is no lower than a 7. Please go into this game unclouded by hatred and finish the story before making your own opinion… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely brilliant imo. A story that makes you question the morality of the cause from every side that's shown in this post apocalyptic world. Sympathies change left, right and centre. The gameplay is far improved from the original and as always, the scenery & attention to detail is brilliant. Highly recommend.… Expand

    Really? Neil Druckmann ruined this franchise. The storyline is trash. He killed one of the most loved characters to justify his poorly made storyline. And he made Ellie from TLOU 1 into a dumb character with nothing left on her at the end. The actual fight experience was good, though. But the stupid storyline basically ruined everything.

To me Games were always like books you could read and I like some multi-player games but I stuck to games like the Witcher, GoW, Horizons Zero Dawn, Spider-Man, metal gear, ect..
    Part 2 is a beautiful game with amazing mechanics and i can absolute respect the contradicts portrayed in this game however the story completely forgot its roots. Its like characters in the game just forgot their past experiences for the sake of shoving a completely irredeemable character in. The story was awful. I dont care that he died but the way that he did. He would have never allowed himself to be in that situation and the ending of the game completely contradicts the ending of the first game and makes zero sense. I wanted this game to be so good but was left disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you know Naughty Dog and what they are capable of, you can probably tell these user scores are just trolls, I had seen the leaks and played the game. All I can say is, its hands down, one of the best games I have ever played in my life. Supposedly the anger is because of the outcome of some beloved character than some people could not handle.
    some say, the marketing was bad but that was only if only to keep the story protected.
    For someone who had actually played the game, it would be impossible to rate this game anywhere lower than 8.
    I literally just made an account to rant about this mess going on.
    This game and its hard-working developers deserve better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. aside from the obvious split in opinions based on what happens in the game, The Last Of Us Part II showcases one of the most visually appealing games in PS4 history along with some great audio design and an enjoyable, though somewhat tedious, gameplay. when playing a video game like TLOU2, you got to understand that this is Naughty Dog's story to tell, not your own story to create. there is nothing a user can do to change the 25 hour-long story that ND spent years to present. I respect the bold choices the studio made to break away from the happy endings and fan services that many video games still fall victim to. the story might have been depressing, violent and full of hate as ND claimed long before the game's release and leaks (possibly the worst thing to happen to this game, I am sure more people would be on board with Abby's character if it weren't for the leaks) but at the end of the day, a story that involves hundreds and thousands of deaths, including characters we love, was inevitable in the world Naughty Dog built throughout the first TLOU and I am still excited to see what direction ND takes in TLOU3 based on what happened in this game. Overall, I am just as satisfied with TLOU2 and I was with TLOU in a totally different way, and the amount of both justified and unjustified hate this game is receiving from the general public is disappointing to me.… Expand

Personally i think that if i would be with Ellie throughout the game i think i would like the game much more. I am actually going to try to play the game with just Ellie by jumping over the Abby part right now and and forget the part with Abby, and see if the game becomes better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like many others loved the 1st. This game isnt great but its not as bad as the bombers are making it. It sucks in the first 30 mins joel is dead, on top of that, ellie goes about getting revenge ONLY for you to play as the killer of joel. At first it was a wtf moment, and i hated it. Then i kept playing and realised dying didnt change the fact i needed to play as abby. I saw what they were going for and why they did that i just dont think it needed to be so long with her. Right now 2 days out after finishing i wish ellie killed her but understand why she didnt. In the moment when she saw joel and he was happy ,that flash back as part of the ptds set her free and she let abby go free to find the fireflys. I really dont see good and bad in this game, characters are doing what they need to , to survive. People forget the ambush by the bus in #1 joel saying # ive been on the otherside" when ellie asks how did he known they were under attack. The decision to play again is being held back right now by knowing ellie losing everything at the end, her fingers, her "wife" her "potatoe amd of course Joel. I hope they do another game and close it out. Does ellie go looking for the fireflys that abby found on the radio, im sure word gets back to them and tommy being a former firefly, recently divorced, he might tag along. The mechanics in the game are the same as the first. Same keys, same annimation when ellie does a stealth kill, though they do expand the tree to let you get more skills. Ive been playing around with the accessibility stuff in the area where abby finds her dad, thats a short area and that stuff is really good and forward moving.

    People are nuts and not giving this game a fair shake whatsoever. This is a profoundly human story about the cycle of violence and finding the path to forgiveness.

    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...
