    This game is one of the best games I've ever played. It is not a ''fun'' game but a truly grounded and brutal one. I've never felt so many emotions while experiencing a game, let alone a movie. Finished the game yesterday, started it back again today. Please don't let the people that are angry about the writing discourage you from playing.

    Can't say I would have made this game this way, but kudo to all of Naughty dogs team for putting together the game and story they wanted to tell.
    It was an emotional rollercoaster, even a tear jerker at times. I can't say that I'm not left with the desire to know more of this story, but I can say they produced again one of the most quality games I've ever played, again! Thank you    Epic!

    Only because of the plot I give a low rating. The graphics are good, the gameplay is good. But the plot. He spoils everything. It's like a spit in the souls of fans. How can you enjoy the game when in the very beginning they destroy what you love? The first part is forever in the heart. The second part, I hate.

    No thank you.

    The game's writing is awful. Very poorly written characters who make bizarre decisions that no sane person would do. Forcing players to play as unlikeable characters not a good decision. Ultimately, the game has one of the worst endings I've ever seen and leaves the player upset as opposed to fulfilled. Avoid this garbage at all costs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t get the hate with this game. Sure Joel, the most beloved character in the original Last of Us, gets killed savagely in the first two hours, but that gives Ellie the motive to get revenge for his killers. Without this brutal death scene, there wouldn’t be a Last of Us Part II.

    Also, playing as Abby gives us the opportunity to play as both opposing forces to see their struggles and losses, see that Joel’s death had meaning, and potentially learn enough about the character to play her in a part 3.

    The graphics, gameplay, and story is very well crafted and I can’t wait to play it again. I really hope there’s a part 3 so we can see another master work done by Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the game is really fun and I actually prefer part 2's gameplay to the first one. The game is extremely immersive due to the amazing sound design, graphics and music.

    Spoiler warning:
    Joels death gave ellie a reason to fight and seeing the look of anger in ellies eyes shows just how overcome with hatred she is. Ellie leaving abby at the end was good character development as it showed how she realised that violence isn't always the answer and that by killing her she would be just as bad as abby. Therfore proving that she's stronger than abby by not letting her emotions consume her and she brakes the cycle of violence that this game centers around.

    Being able to play as Abby for a long period of time was something I wasn't expecting and it worked really well. At first I thought "why would I want to keep abby alive when she's the person we're trying to kill", but by the end of it abby is an extremely fleshed out character and it makes the player see her in a different light and makes it even better to see ellie let her live as she's already taken everything she loves from her.

    In conclusion I'd give this game a solid 10, this is definitely my game of the year and cyberpunk is gonna have to pull something crazy to beat it. This is seriously close to being my favourite game of all time, probably tied with half-life 2 and uncharted 2.

    Anyway if you didn't like it thats fine, video games are an art and art is subjective. But most people leaving the reviews on this game are rating it unfairly after watching a walk-through or playing the first couple hours and thinking they've experienced enough to rate it. To fully experience this game you have to play the hole thing yourself and even if you're but hurt about joels death, trust me when I say the rest of the game redeems it. I just really hate to see a good game get destroyed by the toxic gaming community and it means it probably won't win game of the year because then everyone would be claiming they were paid by sony or something. So please, if you dont want to play this game because of all the negative reviews, just try it and you'll see that all the critics weren't lying when they said this game was a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genuinely **** awful story. They crapped all over Joel’s character, and THEN DOESN’T EVEN LET YOU KILL THE STUPID, overdeveloped surgeon NPC characters kid that did it. Don’t know who wrote this, but they must have a set agenda as it is painstakingly obvious as well the more you play. They make you play as the villain for a stupid amount of time, and (S)he has a sex scene which made me want to vomit. A lot of the interactions are awkward as hell as well. Now that I am past the bad, here’s the good. The gameplay is beautiful,and detailed. The animations are smooth and work well almost all the time. The combat system is good, but a tad wonky sometimes, and Dina is apparently fully invisible to enemies. So yeah, that’s my review.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the last of us 2 came out on the 19th and it is polarising. The game is both a visual masterpiece and a 14 year olds fan fiction of the first game with a massive budget .
    Starting with a few things I love
    1. Gameplay is ‘’if its not broken don’t fix it’’ as you Charlie of the channel; Penguinz (subscribe to him) said, I completely agree with that. That is pretty much what it is. Its The last of us, in terms of gameplay and its a good game mechanically speaking.
    2. Acting is amazing and the character development in like 5 of the characters is really good and believable (until something ridiculous breaks the immersion )
    3. Crafting is pretty good, not much different to the first, not much innovation, mostly aesthetics but its still good
    4. The flashbacks are the games highlights, such as Joel and Ellies flashback parts, are the absolute peak of the game. Its like a sample of what the game could have lived up to.
    5. Level design is fantastic. Lots of places to climb, escape to, and figure out what to do. The game has a great flow in combat
    6. The art in this game is slept on. It is beautiful, stunning. If you check out the concept art it is really beautiful, so im giving massive props to the artists team, phenomenal work there. It helps an otherwise drab game to feel a little nicer when its allowed to shine
    7. The accessibility options are a really innovative idea, and is filled with specific options that make the game easier for anyone from me who is pretty bad at games despite playing them all the time since I was a kid to Stevie Wonder. Options like High contrast colouring and decoulraing of the environment make the game playable for people with vision disabilities and such, color blindness, that kind of thing. I think this is a great idea and will become more and more common in games. Theres a lot of options that are pretty silly, like prone mode makes you invisible except when enemies go right up to you for some time like 5 seconds. Its not a bad option, its just really funny and I don’t know who it is catering to. Ive never had a game with built in Action Replay before but it can be used for accessibility and also for **** and giggles.c
    Some bad things
    . The writing is objectively piss poor, its like someone played the first game and then took a lot of coke, for the entire duration of the project (but maybe druckmann was just high on life, and toxic business ethics) . I went into the game optimistic, giving it a chance. As it went on I became really really annoyed by the front seat the incredibly bad story pieces take up in the game. On the back of the cover, it doesn’t say, realistic conversation simulation and some stealth gameplay mixed in. It advertised itself as a game that is like the
    First game. Its an interactive Netflix movie. And a really bad one. Netflix would not green light this. Spoilers here on out> if you liked the first game, you will feel very sad and empty playing this game . You will have paid 70 euro or bucks for a game that actively wants you to feel bad constantly. There is no breathing, the game constantly cuts nice or good moments to put you back into nihilism and preachy generic revenge storylines. It feels like the game thinks you are an absolute idiot. It is a very predictable story, and the game revolves around it. The game advertised as a Ellie and Joel revenge story (it implied Joel with be there for a good portion of the game), but its all about trying to make you like Abby and her friends. Maybe she remorrselessly (she never shows any remorse at all) tortures a man, wanting to keep it going longer, having to finish him faster by her friends. She sees Ellie screaming and begging as Joel iOS in a situation the real Joel from the first game would never risk. She does not show a single expression of feeling moral ambiguity, she does not get emotional , she’s calculated. Throughout, whether its her friends dying or someone she’s getting, she immediately continues on and never mentions them again. No screen time is given to those things because the characters don’t even matter. Its all to justify her actions at the start. It was done so badly , it is appalling. Little of the game is you playing as Ellie doing all cool stuff. If it is its a walking simulator most of the time. Other times its a visually stunning sub par stealth game with fantastic voice acting performances and god awful writing .

    2. This game is very boring for most the time you play it, snail pacing to fill up the game. You’ll find yourself wishing it would end and when it doesn’t you’re like they’re still beating this dead horse? I kept playing hoping it would stop making you just walk and talk and do really dumb puzzles constantly but most 70 Europe I spent on the game was for a conversation simulator.
    3. The game makes you play as a character, anyone who likes the last of us or you know good writing, will hate. The game recons everythi    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful game. Nothing wrong with it, and people providing negative attitudes towards the game with only the argument of “transgenders” & “lesbians” obviously can’t appreciate marvellous writing and game design and are not open to such a unique and perfectly built world. Most people who have complained about the game have really only said one thing “Naughty Dog is trying to force an agenda and ideology down our throat, all while attempting to make white men appear weak.” Those people are the type to think that there is a political stage to everything And must add their own views to all discussions. But if you look at the game AS A GAME, then it’s clear that the devs tried their hardest to provide the more appreciative side of the audience with an emotional masterpiece that leaves you in love with almost all the characters. The only Two problems i had with the game were, no1, Joel dying in such a shameful way (which i know had to happen in order to have a plot at all) and, no2, how extensively they tried to justify the ,bad guys’ decisions... i feel as though a simple extended cutscene would of been perfect, but alas, the devs can’t appeal to everyone and i get that Amazing game, included all the aspects of the first yet also taking a new approach, true nostalgia trip, 10/10.… 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]
