    This is Amazing experience and no it's not a game u want to play to relax or have fun with.
    But if u just wanted to play more of Ellie and Joel go play the last of us remastered.
    It is it's own game and is one of the best interactive media of the generation

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best game I’ve ever played in graphics, gameplay, details. But the plot is the worst. I played all the game with the revenge’s feeling and in the end nothing happened. And, Joe's death was in vain. They tried to humanize the villain.… Expand

    Ignore the idiots review bombing this game. It’s fantastic, if you enjoyed the first game then you will have the time of your life. Everything you enjoyed before has been improved, and guess what...proper fans knew Ellie was gay anyway, and guess what, proper human beings don’t care anyway!

    The Last of Us is my favorite game of all time. I have played it numerous times, cried every time, and just kept wanting to go back and play. I was eagerly awaiting for The Last of Us 2 for years, and to finally hear it was coming out this year, I was ecstatic.

I have played it numerous times, cried every time, and just kept wanting to go back and play. I was eagerly awaiting for The Last of Us 2 for years, and to finally hear it was coming out this year, I was ecstatic.

    The wait was well worth it. The game mechanics are just like the first game with some additions to it. The story is phenomenal and gets you invested in it early on. The story is scary, frustrating, happy, exciting, and depressing. You'll feel all sorts of emotions through this game and that's exactly what Naughty Dog wanted, for you to feel the pain of the protagonist. They wanted you to want revenge, to be angry, and the reviews reflect that. They want you to see the grey in things, that not everything is black and white. The decisions made by characters in this game and real decisions any of us can make if pushed to the breaking point of loss and sadness. They made some BOLD moves in the story and I think they're excellent. I cried, it was hard to see this story play out.

    The Last of Us 2 is now my favorite game of all time. I'm now on my third play through and I plan to keep going. The world is huge, the story is long, and there's lots to see along the way. Get this game and be ready to feel all sorts of emotions. It's worth it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like most when I heard about the leaks I was disappointed, but I decided to keep a open mind and purchase the game.Controls take time to get used to, and the pacing is a bit slow at times but the game is well worth playing.
    In my playthrough a question popped in my head-WHAT IS THE PRICE OF VENGEANCE, AND ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY.I’ll start with Abby’s vengeance. In her pursuit of Joel she is faced many times with Owen attempting to build a relationship with Abby, each time Abby turns it down and continues with her “Leads” even though it is clear they still like each other. Eventually this leads to Owen dating Mel and getting her pregnant. Later in a cutscene, Abby and Owen have sex(keep in mind Owen is still with Mel) it was a long time coming. After the affair Owen wants Abby to travel with Mel and him, Owen says he’ll try to make it work, in his love triangle. Mel later reveals to Abby that, she never liked her(probably saw and Abby and Owen close still) Later Abby aids in finding Lev, Owen tried to join Abby, Mel strongly disagrees. Abby knows at this point, that the time for her and Owen has passed. She tells Owen to stay and get his priorities in line, ending any further involvement.
    Abby lost her chance to grow a relationship with the only other person that she cared for. As well as losing her friends. And she also has a change of heart and befriends two seraphites, which leads her to kill her comrades(WLF)

    Ellie’s vengeance leads to her being mentally and visibly shaken by her actions after getting Nora to “talk”. Later she shoots Owen and stabs Mel in the neck, in Owens last moments he informs Ellie that Mel was pregnant. This disturbs Ellie leading to her getting on her knees, breathe heavily, and wrap her arms around her stomach(throw up?pain?) she is snapped out of it by Tommy and is taken back to base, only problem is Ellie left her map, leading Abby to find her. We cut to the future(after Abby beats Ellie and Dina), Ellie is on a farm with Dina and, Dina’s child JJ, just like Dina wanted. Ellie walks around the house with JJ and has a good time, eventually she has to herd the sheep into the barn. While herding you hear winds picking up. Ellie locks the small door that holds sheep, only to find a lamb out. She approaches the lamb resulting in the lamb knocking over a shovel, which triggers Ellie.a flash of Joel’s dying face appears and attempts to get the lamb only for the door to close. You play in a small room with stairs that lead down, she hears Joel calling Ellie for help, Ellie reaches the door but it is locked, she can’t open it and starts yelling. It cuts to reality and Ellie is screaming and the baby is crying(Ellie had JJ in a sling) Dina tried to comfort Ellie. Tommy shows up(you find out he lived) with only one eye and his leg doesn’t work like before(from Abby and Lev) he reveals him and Maria are taking time apart. He came to inform Ellie that a informant saw a muscular woman traveling with a boy with scars in his face. He tried to get Ellie on board. Dina tells Tommy, that they are done with that, Ellie tells Tommy she is sorry. Tommy packs his bag, and tells Ellie,”you said you’d make her pay” angry he leaves and Dina has “parting words” with him. Ellie eventually decides she has to finish it, Dina tries to stop Ellie from leaving, telling her she has a family and that she won’t go through it again. Ellie leaves. Skipping ahead Ellie finds Abby and they fight(real gritty) Elle gains the upper hand, and starts to drown Abby while chilling music plays, the camera pans to Ellie’s face. Bloody and in tears she has a memory of Joel, and decides to let Abby live. She definitely had a revelation, but it’s open to interpretation.

    Ellie returns to the farm to find Dina has left and the house is empty and cold, in contrast to before, it was colorful and warm. She goes up stairs to play guitar, she plays the song Joel sang to her,”if I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose my self” this hit me, she lost Joel, and lost her self figuratively and literally as she lost her left ring and pinky fingers, leaving her unable to play the guitar properly. Alone and changed, she has a look on her face I can’t describe(see model viewer “Ellie-epilogue”)

    Ellie’s price was her mental state as seen after her encounter with Nora, Owen and Mel, Jessie dying, Tommy losing a eye and ability to walk properly, as well as him and his wife taking a “break”, Ellie’s ability to play guitar, last but not least- Dina leaving.

    It is a different game with a tragic ending, one that is welcome in a market of happily ever afters and fears of telling a story like it due to backlash(like right now)

    I came in with a bit of disappointment but kept a open mind, and left with a amazing experience.Is the price of vengeance worth it? Are you willing to pay? For it not only impacts you, but also others.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sloppy story it was alright to me to kill Joel off if you were going to justify it for the rest of the game..... not play as the character they made you hate from the get go. They tried to get you to see both sides but the way they killed Joel and the boring back and forth missions felt monotonous most of the time. They lied to us fans about Joel and who on earth wanted to be Abby and beat the crap out of Ellie....... Crickets that sums up the game to be honest… Expand

    The game makes some upsetting choices but in doing so not only tells a compelling story but stays true to the world and characters without giving in to fanservice. The gameplay, graphics, audio design, AI, score, acting, writing, and everything else are setting a new bar for games. Bravo, Naughty Dog!

    Firstly, ignore the bad reviews. If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. A finely crafted immersive masterpiece that gave me exactly what I wanted and surprised me with things I didn't know I wanted. I can't praise it enough, simply spectacular.

    Love this game so far, 10 hours in. Grim and sinister. Darker than the original. Also, well written and directed. Great acting. Pretty sophisticated story telling for a AAA game... I wish more big budget games had this kind of adult focus and narrative ambition.

If people weren't mad about it, Noughty Dog would have done something incredibly wrong. They wanted us to feel angry, and they nailed it. They actually achieved their goal.

    Of course people don't have to like it, and maybe a lot of people expected a different kind of story, but giving a game 0 points without playing the game is just childishness in my opinion. And I don't want to talk about these LGBT accusations at all. This is just too rediculous.

    And yes, I played the game all the way through, unlike many others here.

    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]
