    I would definitely suggest playing it if you like the first game. The ending might be controversial but no one can say it was not earned. Its a worthy sequel.    … Expand

    I don’t think this game deserves all the hate, I really enjoyed it and I think that everybody should at least experience the game.

    Motivations of characters make no sense, game play hasn't evolved in the last decade, false advertising from the trailers, game was WAY too long with too much filler, Abby wasn't needed, focus on Ellie.

    Oh, it looks pretty though... 2/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains SPOILERS BE WARNED:

    First off, Joel is an Anti-hero. The first game was NEVER wholly Joel's story and he was not some beloved character. This ain't Disney. He was a deeply flawed man that made a choice that had severe consequences. He created a vicious cycle with the choices he made. Part 2, even with having to play Abby, was a beautifully told story with super strong themes. Yes, the gameplay was sometimes repetitive and not perfect, but the STORY is, in my honest opinion, a masterpiece. I honestly believe this.

    I didn't hate Abby. It was made clear that these two (Ellie and Abby), in another life, could have been very very good friends. We had 2 protagonists and 2 antagonists. As for Joel; this is how life goes. Joel didn't die a magnificent death, and if you thought he should have, then you haven't been playing and understanding how the world of the Last of Us works. Majority of people don't get to die gloriously; look at every other death in the game -no matter the character. Death is sudden and always unexpected, and it's still miserably hard even when it's not.

    The Last of Us 2 is NOT a bad game. People who think this game is bad just because Joel dies or dies commonly can't see the whole picture, or simply don't care to dig deeper to understand and accept it. It's not a revenge story. It's a story about love, hate, loss, and letting go in order to begin healing. It's about grief. And it hits so damn hard. It's about figuring out what it's like to lose parts of yourself and learning how to heal and cope with that. It's about choosing to end a very viscous cycle of selfishness.

    On the highest difficulty to me, even with the tedious flashbacks, the gameplay was a solid 7.5/10 for me. I had FUN. The story, however, was a 10/10. It wrecked me. Well done, Naughty Dog. I don't know about the plans for DLC or if there will be future installments, but you bet your bottom dollar I will be one of the ones to purchase whatever is to come.    … Expand

    amazing game regarding everything that isn't the story. too bad it's literally a story game so that's what matters most. The most disgusting handling of some of the most beloved characters in video game history.

    The storyline was accepted. But the details were too bad. So many things happened with no logic. If only there were more details to support the logic of the story.

    As a huge fan of the first game, this left me feeling absolutely hollow and disappointed at the end. I haven't felt this disappointed in a game since I finished mass effect 3. They never gave me a reason to feel anything but hate towards Abby, and the last 10 hours of the game were a slog. I'd recommend staying faaar away from this burnt turd of a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited for nearly 5 years for this game, I loved the first one. And when I say by the time I finished the game I wanted to rip my finger nails out, I mean it. The story is completely redundant in it's morals, The new character and antagonist Abby does not have good or valid character building and I don't like how the producers expect us to like her and take her side. There was a story we didn't necessarily didn't get to see with Joel and Ellie, y'know that we kinda built since the first game to just have it torn away and be something we'll never have. Most character death's besides a really big one and someone else just don't feel emotional at all. What the hell Naughtydog? I want my money back!… Expand

    The story of this game is absolutely garbage. The gameplay is funny, the musics are stunning, also the graphic, but the story... horrible. 7 years of waiting for nothing, for an empty ending and an empty story.

    The Last of Us 2 is an improvement from its predecessor in gameplay, narrative and story. It expands on the original world set in the first game by introducing factions and characters that are fascinating to learn about. Naughty Dog have done an excellent job in making the player want to learn more about the world itself and the characters within.

It expands on the original world set in the first game by introducing factions and characters that are fascinating to learn about. Naughty Dog have done an excellent job in making the player want to learn more about the world itself and the characters within.

    The story is expertly written and in many ways quite daring. It breaks away from traditional storytelling seen in most games and gets you emotionally involved in many of the new characters Last of Us 2 has to offer. Many of these characters are written in such a way that you might and probably will dislike them at first, but over time you will feel emotionally invested in a lot of the characters within Last of Us 2.

    As for the gameplay Naughty Dogs have improved upon the first title by adding important features such as being able to get your human enemies to fight the infected, or better yet the infected to fight your human enemies. The combat can also be frantic and you might find yourself hiding under tall grass to escape enemies only to re-emerge and throw a Molotov at a group that was chasing you only moments before.

    You may have seen some controversy surrounding the game. Ignore a lot of the low user reviews for The Last of Us 2. A lot of the complaints are about the story from people who have not touched the game itself and instead have read a bullet point list of the story without any of its complexities.

    As always stick with game reviewers you trust to form an opinion before buying. I personally recommend Easy Allies review on the game.

    Naughty Dogs have kicked it out of the park with another finely crafted game. It's a shame that a large amount of the negative reviews are from "critics" who have never even bothered to pick up the controller.    … Expand

Playing as both Ellie and Abby allowed me to see both sides of the story and empathize with Abby after hating her and not being able to wait to kill her.

    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.
