    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found the game amazing. Nobody is talking about the mechanics, the animations, the tone, the music, the locations, the graphics, the gameplay. Everybody is focused on the story. So the game is perfect in a game-wise sense and the story has gotten so many people affected they can't shut up or agree about it.

    That in itself is a feat worthy of praise. I am too a bit disappointing Ellie had to share the spotlight, personally I'd rather see a focus on her and Dina's story, but I can see what Naughty Dog tried to do, and their intentions are magnificent. Playing the game like a candle burning at both ends is a narrative experiment I really like, even though it hampers the pacing a bit. Having both main characters fight each other fit the story, but it was really frustrating as the player because I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to, just like the characters are conflicted about the whole ordeal. That's genius.

    Overall, gameplay, music, voice, acting, tone, setting, graphics (those locations man, oh my god). All of it is STELLAR. The experimental choices made are divisive, but I for one am grateful a AAA Studio like Naughty Dog dares to shake things up.

    See, the first game had zero expectations and hit huge. It had all the freedom to do whatever it did without anyone knowing what to expect. All these years later, people claim fierce ownership of these characters and no matter what they did, some people would turn out to be disappointing anyway.

    I love this game, I love the creators and their intentions - I only wished there was more of it.    … Expand

    Brilliant game. Graphics, animations, story, setpieces, voice acting, sound, music, performance capture and combat are all top notch. The only ones that disagree are incels triggered by the existence of gay people and people who didn't understand the story of the first game and were expecting a cliche buddy adventure with a happy ending for everyone and no consequences.

    I just finished the last of us part 2 and wow I really almost cried with the end it is so full of feelings maybe people did not like the end and it is not the one we want but I sincerely loved it since it gives a message that only one can understand in his own way one of the best games of the year and without a doubt my favorite of all the ones ND made

    Without any spoilers, this game delivers an emotional and heart wrenching story providing you with an explanation of a traumatic point in the story from two different point of views. For me at least, the character you hate from the start becomes a character that you empathize with towards the end, this left me torn between who was in the right and who was in the wrong. The gameplay is smooth and satisfying with a great combat style similar to the first game.
    The graphics are IMPECCABLE! I spend so much time admiring the scene I’m in.
    Although I can understand the controversy regarding some major plot points, I believe each person must play the game before establishing an opinion. As well, you should stay open minded to try an understand the actions of some characters, imagine yourself in their place, what would you do? It’s hard so understand characters you want to hate, but that’s what, in my opinion, is beautiful about this game. It allows you to understand both sides of the story, and it does so amazingly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many idiotic takes based on a tiny fraction of the game they've played (if they've even played at all). To think Abby is supposed to be empathetic by the time she offs Joel is **** stupid.
    Pretty sure if someone killed your parents and you virtually knew nothing else about that person aside from the fact that they might be well regarded by other people you know nothing about - you might also have a vengeful view of that person.
    Maybe give the game a chance to tell its story from her perspective instead of focusing on your own love for a character. The whole thing serves as a catalyst for the story telling, morons.
    Unless you just want 1-dimensional, good vs evil characters in TLoU... Despite that not being what even the first game is about.
    EDIT: But please, respond with your justification for your stance based on a few hours of the game - because I sure as hell haven't seen one that doesn't just boil down to "but I loved Joel!"    … Expand

    I cannot say if the Last of Us part II is better or worse than its predecesor, simply because it is a sincere original dark story about loss, guilt, redemption and consequences of ones action. This game is a must to play and I am grateful to NaughtyDog that they made this sequel. It made me think about a lot of things.

I loved the first game and its characters as much as everyone and knew it was a game that was going to stick with me for a long time, if not for life. But I get why Naughty Dog went the direction they did with this game. In my opinion, the story of TLOU2 perfectly captures the tragedy and brutality of the post-apocalypse world they created. That there are repercussions for the decisions made in the first game and this game. Not many games (besides Telltale games) do that, show the perspectives of those who are hurt by the main character’s actions. Many people will disagree, but I kind of respect Naughty Dog for making these major story decisions and they probably knew it piss off the fanbase of this franchise. I’m not saying that the story is perfect, there is definitely that “political correctedness” that other people despise, I don’t mind some of it but there is a little bit too much here and it threw me off in terms of “jeez, okay we are in pretentious territory here”. Also, some characters make really weird decisions that can be out of character and don’t make sense disregarding the build-up of some tragic events. I can say that this game can get depressing and there is so many emotional moments with joyful moments so far few in between. Which might turn some people off. Despite these downfalls, this story was great enough to keep me going and keep me immersed. Again, like the first, it is a story that will stick with me. I think people should give this game’s story a chance.

    I had bit of a long section for the story part of the game because it is narrative-driven, but I should also speak about the gameplay and graphics. Combat and stealth sections are tension-filled and can be really challenging, which I appreciate. Naughty Dog improved in terms of adding realism to the combat sequences as you can get knocked down or flinch when you get shot, completely throwing your aim off. I played on the regular difficulty and I got my ass kicked a lot. Enemy human AI is pretty smart and will try to flank you, especially dudes with melee weapons. Moreover, the infected sections are still creepy and tense as always with some new enemy types to keep it challenging. I plan to play on the hardest difficulty to make resources scarcer, as I felt on the regular difficulty resources was never really that scarce despite what gameplay videos have said. They even added a feature where you make your own custom difficulty which is pretty cool.

    Lastly, the graphics are amazing, as expected of recent Naughty Dog titles, so good that your PS4 will sound like a motorcycle (IDK if that’s a good thing). The facial animations are on point in combat and in cutscenes, in particular the combat, the facial animations add so much realism if you can pay attention and adding to the brutality of it. The post-apocalyptic scenery can be really beautiful in most parts of the game.

    Thank you to those who read this whole review, I know it’s long, but I really wanted to get all of my honest opinion out on this game. I do understand all the negative reviews and why people can’t stomach the story. But if you’re looking to buy the game but are a bit sceptical, I’d say give it a shot. I really think its important to understand the context of the story decisions Naughty Dog has made in TLOU2.    … Expand

It’s tense, nerve racking and heart breaking, I love it. I take my hat off to Neil Druckmann, Ashley Johnson, Troy baker, and the whole naughty dog team for this unexpected heartbreaking story, simply incredible.

    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.
