    For any person that calls themselves a gamer, and a fan of story telling, this game is a must. I haven’t left a review before but this game needs to be praised.

I haven’t left a review before but this game needs to be praised. I’ll be honest, I am not generally a fan of female protagonists in games. Stupid of me, but I find them mostly forced and in there just for the PC likes. This is not the case in this game, I had just as much fun playing as the females in this game as I did playing Kratos or Arthur Morgan, they were **** brutal. The graphics are the best I’ve ever seen in a game. I am a PC gamer first and foremost, and this tops RDR2 for me in that department. Easily the best character animations in gaming, just unreal. You can tell the hours that went into this, it’s extremely polished from top to bottom.

    The story threw me throughout and I enjoyed the multiple character aspect, particularly how it played into the story. I won’t spoil but I liked this story more than the first Last of Us.

    Gameplay was sick, lots of variation on how you can attack the encounters throughout. Just such a brutal game, having just come from playing God of War I was not suspecting this to make me react more than that with how cool and just **** up some of the kill animations are in this, particularly when I died. All in all, having played games for 20+ years now this game would comfortably sit in my top 5 comfortably alongside Red Dead 1, Assassins Creed 2, God of War and Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Use fake trailers to deceive the old player and kill Joel. Force the player to operate Abby to kill Arie. I will never buy Naughty dog games anymore

    I just ended Last of Us 2 and I can't but to give this game a solid 10. It's not perfect, (there are some parts that takes too long when shouldn't ) but the gameplay is awesome and the story is just amazing. I can understand some of the critics from users not liking the way the story takes ( I myself gets angry in some parts), but Last of Us never was a happy game with Disney endings.

I can understand some of the critics from users not liking the way the story takes ( I myself gets angry in some parts), but Last of Us never was a happy game with Disney endings. It's brutal, cruel, it tears your heart away and stomps it, and is really mature. The script writers puts You in the tight rope and plays with your feelings till the point of making You feel bad for your (or the characters) actions. But it removes your guts as any other game have ever made. So, It's not a game for everyone, It's not a game for people that wants a happy ending, and You have to stay cold till the very end to get all of this feelings together, but I think it totally deserves it. Thanks Naughty Dog for this amazing masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't buy....Worst game I've ever seen, such a shame as the seven year wait got wasted within the first hour of gameplay and if you decide you want to torture yourself and play the whole game you get made to play as the villain for the majority of it, a game built on revenge but you never get what was promised revenge instead you get a badly written story on why you should feel sorry for the villen and her god awful father who in the first game wanted to kill a sleeping kid for a chance for a cure without her consent or knowledge that she was being sacrificed yet naughty dog wants me to sympathies with this lunatic and his even more messed up daughter, no A is the worst character to ever exist and should of been punished by the player for what she did. I just wanted a game with Joel and Ellie but Instead I got this trainwreck of a game. Please for the love of God don't make a part 3, the world will thank you for it, Or if you want to make part 2 again and recon this sheet game I'll be thankful for it.… Expand

    - character's acting/expression are top notch, i didn't find the dialogue stupid as what some reviewer said
    - the game length just feel right
    - difficulty highly customizable
    - only one tiny bug encountered throughout the entire game
    - unconventional story telling and bold decision made (which i like, what make a memorable game is it stir your emotion during the game, TLOU2 delivered that)

    Con
    - limited enemies type, all human enemies feel the same
    - Less puzzle solving
    - No challenging big boss
    - No replay value

    Neutral
    - repetitive gameplay (but which game is not?)
    - linear gameplay, no day night cycle (which I am fine)

    Some user said many plotholes, but i didn't find any. I personally think that RE2 remake has more plotholes.

    If there is no the last of us Part 1, this game's score would have been higher than 8.0. People giving it 0 is because they didn't like the story as much as TLOU1, which is a bias. i am okay with the story based on revenge, a lot of game/drama/series did that, it's nothing wrong with that. You don't like the story doesn't make it a bad game, it just disappoint you based on the high expectation you have.

    Personally i felt this game deserve a 8.5, but to balance those bias reviewer, i am giving it a 10.    … Expand

What the hell would u want to play with abby right after she kills Joel. This was the worst game i have played since i can remember. I hated how the game forced me to play as Abby for like 10 hours, that's 10 hours too many. If i could get my time and money back I would but i don't see that happening anytime soon. (sigh) What the hell was Naughty Dog thinking would happen when they released the game?… Expand

    Game was so disappointing. Played the entire game. Story was spiteful and unfulfilled. Best character was cut short within 2 hours. There were flashbacks with Joel to show how good this game could of been. I hate that they ruined one of my favorite games of all time. I understand what they were trying to do. There’s no way this game deserved a 10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece of a game. I finished it yesterday after about 32 hours, and I'm still heartbroken from that ending. It's probably the best story you'll ever see on a game. However, it is not for everybody. It's a really dark game, and it was meant to be like that. Naughty Dog clearly did not want to play it safe and went for something that was less appealing for some, but much more meaningful for the rest. I can see why some are mad about some of the major plot points, but just remember to keep and open mind. Focus on trying to feel what Ellie is feeling, instead of arguing about not liking what they did to a character. Enjoy the game!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My only gripes are that it's slightly too long, can still can be slightly repetitive, and AI can falter at times, but these are minor at worst. Otherwise, this is an absolute masterpiece of the medium. Incredible set pieces and boss fights, many of which will remind you of the best of the survival horror genre while standing head and shoulders above the rest. Much improved gameplay. The story is incredible, and the ending makes sense once you realize the only way Ellie can begin to forgive Joel is by ending the cycle of violence he and the Fireflies started. His death had to mean something different, as did Ellie's life. Characters are fantastic. Abby is great, and her entire arc makes sense once you understand her motivation. Joel was responsible for the deaths of millions. There are no heroes in this world, which is another theme that many missed. I cannot wait for the HBO show!… Expand

    Was a huge fan of the first game and have been on tenterhooks for this one. An hour in, the death of Joel instantly made my jaw drop, I was ready to hunt down the crew that did it. But then, you play the WLF's side of the game via Abby. I was not happy about this, but over the next 10 hours I realised how much i liked and was invested in her and her friends which then gave me a different perspective on the entire story so far.

    I won't blab on too much about the story but it's so worth playing until the end, it's dark, gross, upsetting but in some weird moments uplifting.

    One of the best Naught Dog games I've ever played.

    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.
