Bold and masterful storytelling (even if you don't like Joel's death - He had it coming -), gorgeous visuals and out of our mind sounds design. Played twice in survivor and survivor + and fully recommend to do the same to actually experience the pain and the most emotionally exhausting and stressful 30 hours of your gaming life.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my review of The Last of Us Part 2.
    While it took me a while to finish it (July 14), I haven't read or watched any reviews and leaked information about the game prior to my first playthrough. Though I watched some trailers.

    Starting with Graphics and Gameplay.
    I can't say much about it but, if Naughty Dog made their best looking game, then this is it.
    Every detail crafted in this game is high quality. The attention to detail for every interaction
    is also marvelous. The animations and motion capture are realistic.

    Music is still a very strong point in this game. It adds to the immersion and emotion of the game.
    Sound effects are also very good, and seemed like true-to-life.

    Can't say much about the story. After watching that most talked about scene, the game became predictable and boring. As you progress, this game is like doing the opposite what made the first game so compelling, so likable with characters who are relatable and interesting that anyone can feel like they're real people.
    Throughout the game, it became unexciting and depressing. Can't say much about how violence was being depicted on this game. There are times that certain points in the game should have been changed, but for the shock factor, it made through the final product.
    This game felt like Naughty Dog's approach about revenge is to disassociate the fans from the first game and forget about it.
    There were also scenes that I think should have been written better to have a better closure to plot points left behind from the first game and some scenes that i felt placed wrongly in the game. Some of these scenes were a flashback, that felt like telling a story too late.

    As I close my experience with the game, it is unfair to not share one part I really liked, and it was the "Birthday Gift" sequence. It reminded me of what TLOU is all about.    … Expand

    Fantastic game, great story and brilliant gameplay. Part 2 know it's best features and highlights them. New enemies are frustrating and vary your approach to the game. Might disagree with the way naughtydog have taken the story, but cannot disagree with the feel of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful gameplay with rubbish story. We play only for 2 girls: Abby "strong woman" and Ellie. No men playable characters available. Joel was killed in the first hours and all this game is about revenge and LGBT. The transgender "boy" absolutely doesn't mean anything for the story and I don't know why Naughty Dogs added it. Tolerance in post-apocalypsis time where anyone can kill you to grab your stuff and food? C'mon… Expand

Would have been a really great game if the developers were more upfront with the advertising trailer and not try to get us to sympathize with the antagonist especially such an unlikeable one It's like when I play Spiderman, I don't want to play Dr Oct or the other villains to get how they felt.

    The sequel to The Last of Us certainly lived up to my expectations. Graphics are gorgeous, not surprisingly from Naughty Dog, and game play is smooth and in keeping with how we played through Part 1. Nothing drastically new to learn to play P2.

Graphics are gorgeous, not surprisingly from Naughty Dog, and game play is smooth and in keeping with how we played through Part 1. Nothing drastically new to learn to play P2. From the start, the story is gripping and has a far more complex, engaging structure than its predecessor. The game flashes backwards frequently to provide the context for decisions Ellie (and others) just made. The result is a very well-developed universe where genuine character development is possible. I won't spoil anything, of course, but TLOU2 is a treat from the first to the last minute. Some reviews on here and elsewhere are hard on the game for its social justice, LGBTQ themes (again no spoilers from me). Such bad press is unwarranted and unfortunate considering the genuine quality on display by the team at Naughty Dog. I'm pretty sure that some gay/transgender people would survive the apocalypse, and the population left around to deal with the infected would harbour some of the prejudices and presuppositions our society faces today. The game does a good job of demonstrating how existing issues survive the outbreak. Anyways...story is top-notch, and the performance by Ashley Johnson as Ellie is even better than before. TLOU2 will go down as one hell of a final hurrah for the PS4. I do hope there's a Part 3 on PS5, if, however, they can find a story as compelling as Part 2. If not, then Part 2 will be the finale of a terrific, very memorable series.… Expand

Taking on the role off another character wasn't to my liking at first...however i came to find myself engrossed and enjoying playing that side of the story.

    A poorly written game, advertised as being LGBT positive, but was actually queer baiting, as they were killed off instantly. None of the characters are interesting or matter, and the moment they start to matter, they're killed. Not worth anyones time or effort. This opinion and rating could be changed to a 10, however, if 30 dollars were sent on cashapp to $chinigsndeluxe

    What can I say that has not already been said. After the amazing TLOU we get something that technically amazing - graphics and gameplay (although very samey and more noticeable on 2nd play through) but the Story is the biggest let down. Pacing and shock surprises (which are cheap and easy). Dialogue is poor and story writing is garbage and very underwhelming and generic. I can play TLOUWhat can I say that has not already been said.

    The narrative is built in such a way that tries to make you understand the other side of the events. There is no good/evil, no white/black, just a grey messy circle of vengeance that spirals down into chaos.

    WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
    ***********

    Many people dislike the fact that Joel dies and the way he does. Of course I do, too. But if you were expecting a fairytale where everyone lives happily ever after, then you didn't even understand the ending of the first game.

    I think the main point people who dislike the game are missing is the parallel between Joel and Ellie's story and Abby's story.
    Don't get me wrong, I HATED Abby, but at least I understand the motives behind her actions. I think the game makes a great job putting things into perspective. She isn't just a mindless evil villain, who enjoys killing. She is also a daughter, a friend, a PERSON.
    Imagine she, her friends and her father were the protagonists of the first game. Then we would be rooting for them instead.
    It seems that people missed the similarities between Abby/Lev and Joel/Ellie, too... but I want to keep this review short, so find them yourself ;)

    Speaking of Joel and Ellie, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to develop their relationship after the ending of the first game. Those flashback-scenes are truly amazingly crafted tear-jerkers: beautiful, heartwarming and bittersweet.

    END OF SPOILERS

    To sum things up and make a point, you should be open minded when playing this game. Don't expect some cliché narrative. Be prepared for some major twists and try to understand them.
    This game is truly an emotional roller coaster.

    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.
