    This game is so impressive i can’t even start describing it. It made me feel so many things and completely immersed me in its world. Its a strong story, not easy to digest at times, which just makes it so much better. Mechanically, this game feels great, with a lot of freedom in choosing your play style and i would even go as far as comparing it to mgs v. An absolute must play.

    TLOU2 it is a great game that deserves to be played. I'm just at the beginning and I already realized that it is a colossus in games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Video games are made for entertainment. Games should never contain any extremist ideas or support for any political or religious thought. This trend will negatively affect the industry and the biggest losers are game companies. Games are made only for fun or a discussion of societal thought. Sony must respect the players community because they are the foundation of this industry… Expand

    This game is fantastic. I believe practically everyone who tried to bash this game was influenced by youtube hater reviews and Joel's death. I was one of them, I assure you (Unfortunately). But yeah, that was an emotional roller coaster as I was playing the game. I've never played something similar before. I thought Naughtydog nailed it, and I liked every bit of it!

    99% of the review bombers are a mix of 1) Bots, 2) Immature/unintelligent people, who are used to watching Marvel movies and playing COD and don't pick up on subtlety and nuance very well, and 3) People that deep down are upset that there is diversity in the cast and that they have to play through the game as a lesbian.

    On top of that, you'll notice most of them mention how poor the story, characters, and ending were, yet were written minutes/hours after the game (which takes 30 hours to beat) came out. Suspicious? You bet.

    I've played the game for 9 hours so far. In my experience, its one of the richest storytelling experiences I've ever played. Easily.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game will be looked at as a historical benchmark in pushing games forward. For a comparison, in the film industry, you have the illustrious Oscars. The best movie award is an achievement of top master craft. The Games Awards is something Geoff Keighley has built up well, but it does not have quite the esteem to the general populace that the Oscars do.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game that has the kind of levels of quality to be that kind of level of game for the games industry, that is, an all time great.

    The game is about love, hate, revenge, forgiveness, and letting go among other things. The creator said it’s about revenge but that was being tight lipped to not spoil things before release, I suggest people listen to the Kinda Funny spoiler podcast with Neil, Ashley, and Troy for insigh.

    This game is also set during 3 days for the majority of its time,

    I may come back and write up an even more thorough review, but I want to speak to the hate toward the game.

    Some people have subjective takes on the gameplay or story elements that the game is just not their style. That’s fine. Unfortunately there is a troll/hate train on this game for varieties of reasons. One, Neil and Naughty Dog are being accused of being SJW and having a political agenda. Just because a studio is more liberal and wants to tell stories with characters we typically don’t see does not mean there is a nefarious purpose. This has generated heat.

    Additionally,, things happen in the story people just don’t like. Joel dies, You play as the person who kills Joel. Through the process of all the hatred and killing and loss Ellie ultimately does not kill Joel’s killer when given the chance.

    That’s simplifying a very engaging gaming storyline with great characters, immense action, and tons of suspense.

    Those who don’t “like” some of the direction of the story are mistaking their emotions with actual quality. The game is extremely well written with some exceptions. Example: in killing people Ellie drops a map. On said map, she has their hideout obviously circled. This is one thing I agree with naysayers on, that is a little too convenient to the story of their hq being found.

    One small example but a majority are people just hating because they don’t like the direction.

    Others try to say there is no character development which is silly. Both protagonists develop quite a bit, one character who is great devolves by the end, and many, many people die. Flashbacks do a big part of the development for more essential characters and as I stated in the beginning - the game main,y takes place over 3 days - if you are expecting development for supporting characters in a 3 day time period you are crazy. The characters had well defined personalities and those given the screen time were fantastic.

    Particularly fantastic was the brother/sister combination of Lev/Yara. Prerelease people thought Abby (I had stepped around her name until now but she kills Joel) was going to be trans because she is muscular. Lev is actually trans, born into TLOU2 word perceived as female by her group but he is a male. Dina is an awesome love interest for Ellie and both (Abby and Ellie) are surrounded by a variety of fun supporting characters in Tommy, Owen, Manny, Mel, and Jesse. There are some more characters but those are ones with more screen time.

    There are no heroes in The Last of Us. Joel was a Hunter in a past life before smuggling and meeting Abby. He committed horrible acts before we played as him. He also killed a whole hospital of Fireflies and stopped the cure. (I have no regrets there).

    Abby is no better by brutally killing Joel.

    Ellie is not any better by tracking down and killing Abby’s friends either.

    Moral ambiguity, grey area, etc. is the world of this show. There is no good versus evil.

    It reminds me of our extremely divided times here in the US. I see a comparison in the left vs the right in Ellie bs Abby. A vicious cycle back and forth where no one is really winning and so man6 peop,e are so laser focused on getting that next chunk out of their opponent that they aren’t stopping to consider how they can heal themselves and the world. Just as those offended by this game feel the need to go on hateful rants about it.

    Speaking of the hate - look at the #’s. God of War with 13,000 submissions for ratings. This game is over 80,000 or soon there! Craziness.

    I do believe the game effected people emotionally enough to drive more reactions than GoW, but 80,000 and barely even out? There is an agenda of hate here. With the growth of social media we have trolls and haters who just get their rocks off on hating. Whether they truly hate something or take pleasure in piling on, it’s a fact.

    Again, people can have subjective dislikes and not be in this hateful group.

    Im up against the character limits. Thanks for reading my ramblings, masterpiece game.    … 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]
