    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found this game to be cinematic, powerful, enjoyable and extremely graphic. The only reason I am even writing a review is because there are so many bad reviews for this game with statements like "marxist" or "SJW's ruined this game." Tons of reviews out within hours of the games release. I played this whole game blind (I didn't read any of the leaks/ no spoilers) and finished the whole game prior to review. 26 hours. The story is gritty, it breaks your hear in several places. It shows graphic violence and very adult situations. It was tough to watch in couple places but so very worth it. The game play is good and the enemy AI decently well done. The sound and music isn't overdone and it fits well into the mood of the game. Graphics are phenomenal and in some of the take downs its like you can feel emotion from someone who is being killed in front of your eyes. Some scenes are flat brutal. Joel's death and the final battle between an emaciated Abby and a near mortally wounded Ellie is pretty rough. Not a game for the faint of heart. I will say this if i could i would give it a 9.5 just because i found it to be a very easy game. On the normal setting it felt more like easy and if i could restart my play through at hard I would. If you consider yourself a "good" gamer play on hard.

    Finally to see people so upset about someones sexuality is simply sad. Don't let close-minded people tell you this is a bad game just because it offends their sensitive nature. If you played the first last of us then play this one. Give it a chance it is truly a very very good game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this story was masterfully crafted. I find that the newly created animation, the ability to throw objects to stun them temporarily to disarm characters is a very welcoming addition to the gameplay and graphics. As well as now Zombies will attack each other given the right circumstance, it's just such an endless amount of possibilities that you can do because of this new engine.

    When i first heard about the leak of the game that was so beloved to many, I wanted to watch and see the spoilers. Then I slowly started seeing youtubers hating on the game, and then saying that "Naughtydog is in trouble" or "Naughty Dog is bad" or just anything negative to say about this incredible team. That's when I decided to experience the story for myself without any spoilers, so that I will give the game a chance without any influence from any external sources.

    Then I started playing the game. At times, I have the marvel at the incredible graphics they were able to achieve on the playstation 4, and the level of detail is unriviled, including PC titles cranked to the max. I mean, watching the physics of the backpack bounce around is just an attention to detail that I have not yet seen before. The foiliage moving around the character is still yet unriviled in any game yet... But on to the story, which in my opinion, is masterfully crafted. It made me feel so many different emotions, throughout the game, and made it seem that this revenge cycle only gets people killed. Granted, people play games to take them out of real life, but I feel like the approach to revenge is so realistic, people hate it. The problem is that they're hell bent on what's black and white, that they don't show enough empathy to see what they've been through. In the end, who is right and who is wrong? The people who follow through on their revenge is wrong, and they are severly punished for it. The people who are able to let go of all this rage is able to grow as a person. I think it's not your typical hollywood story where there is a clear indication of who is good, and who is bad. But this game has me wrecked at the end, making me feel the same feelings at the end of the first game: I don't want to kill this doctor but I have to save Ellie. ironic how you're doing the same thing with Abby towards the end, but it ends in a much happier note.

    I personally think Ellie is the villian in this game because she did not help anyone but herself. At least Abby aided her friends and the 2 Seraphite kids. Ellie was just hyper focused on revenge.

    I think people couldn't get over their hatred for Abby, and they powered through the game hating to play the character they hate, so everything that she did that was good, was already unsavable. But at least you get to make that choice yourself, whether or not what she has done is a good deed. The story of this game is so complex, I think the reward that Naughty Dog was waiting for did not pay off. It is so advanced, and we, as gamers, are not mature enough to see things from different perspectives. I think Naughty Dog could've just made "The Last of Us Part 2" soley focusing on Ellie and her revenge, and made another game called "The Last of Us Part 2 - The Lost Chapter" talking about Abby, but by then, if people see an Add on, they may be turned off to it, or forget what Abby did, and could not tie the stories together. But to me, this was a masterpiece in just showing that it's never black or white.

    Going back to some backlash about "Imagine John Wick never being able to revenge the dog". Well imagine if that Dog killed your only child.    … Expand

How you gonna kill off the main character, the one everyone liked and claim it to be the best game ever when it’s far from that it dosent deserve its meta score rating when it’s player score rating is basically eat for the nes... shame it’s even called and associated with the last of us they ruined everything the community loved about the game just goes to show you never trust meta score rating they are most likely paid to post high ratings and it’s not the critics that count it’s the loyal fan base that they just **** on expecting us to love it because it’s a sequel… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate this game because they turned beloved main characters that I felt I knew for so long, into antagonists. At the same time they tried to force me into accepting unknown people over them, just because they were capable of heroic deeds as well, or because they also could relate to me in some other way.

    Makes me feel like the first game is pointless and also, I hate being stabbed in the back... Although a well thought stab would be appreciated, this game makes it feel forced just for the sake of teaching a lesson, as of which I feel like the OG characters ended up suffering more. (Or maybe I don't know the new characters enough for me to care as much).

    I choose to give this game a 4 because despite the terrible story telling and the small improvements on the gameplay, I feel like the team behind the visuals, the sound and the voice acting, did a tremendous job!

    But just like Druckmann said, he knew a lot of people would passionately hate this game, and that is why I choose to erase this one from my memory.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game plot walks you out of the comfy zone and offers you to a different perspective to look at love and killing in the apocalypse. Part 1 was about killing to protect what you loved whereas Part 2 is about ending the cycle of hatred and letting it go! Even as you play Ellie throughout the game, you will start to question what you have done. It is definitely heartbroken when seeing the two fight, who have lost nearly all they have in the seek of vengeance. To a large extent, Abby is an another self of Ellie and Lev to Abby is what Ellie to Joel. The two girls have some much more in common. I like and pity both of them for their fate. Overall, I would say it is a risky try for Naughty dog but definitely worthwhile for the game community and we need it!
    Not even mention its game-play experience. More cooperative, smart, yet brutal AI enemies, more diverse enemy types and more weapon and crafting options just drive this game to a whole new level.
    The game will be rated differently depending how you expect this game to be. If you decided to treat it as a thought-provoking literature and taste it nice and elegantly, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Rythme : Je le trouve très mauvais. ND se permet de briser le rythme de son jeu par pur égocentrisme, pour imposer au joueur leur travail sur les animations ou autres, au détriment du joueur qui devient un simple spectateur.
    Ce n'est vraiment pas la vision de jeu vidéo que j'aime. Un jeu qui fait le choix du monologue plutôt que de s'adresser au joueur. Un jeu qui balance des miettes de gameplay régurgité du premier jeu, sans aucun renouvellement dans sa boucle en + de 20h. Un jeu qui est certain que l'on va subir sans broncher, persuader d'être intouchable avec sa technique remarquable. On arrive à un point ou la différence entre regarder et jouer au jeu apporte la même expérience. Cela donne vraiment l'impression que le joueur dérange le jeu.
    Je lui donne un six pour sa violence graphique et sonore qui démontre un certain courage. Et pour sa technique irréprochable bien que je pense sincèrement quel est surtout pressente pour satisfaire ND qui peut étaler son argent que pour satisfaire le joueur.    … Expand

    The story was great. The animation was mind-blowing. The acting was just incredible. The outdoor environment was absolutely beautiful. The cinematics were fantastic.

    Cons: Sneaking around the enemies and looting houses seemed too repetitive without as much variety as I would have liked. I appreciated how there was more racial diversity with the zombies... but it seemed like they all bought the same generic shirt at Target. lol There wasn't too much variance in body type either. What if you had an OP zombie in a wheelchair or chubby ladies and some chubby guys? Add some personality you know?

    Switching my weapons was too slow and resulted in frustration, especially when in a life or death situation. I felt like accessing my inventory was an unnecessary frustration.

    But seriously... I enjoyed this game. It was great. And I'm excited to see more people speak up once they've completed the story. I definitely recommend it 100%

    It's definitely on my Top 10 list.    … Expand

    I find the game very impressive , it has it's own plot holes and cliche's but totally it's really a good game. From it's unique narrative ( depends on how you understand the message of the story) 8/10 . The newly added cameplay mechanics and it's combat fluidity 9/10. Soundtrack and sound design is 10/10. Finally the astonishing graphics, every detail of these game is a 10/10 no doubt.

    Extremely average. What made the original interesting was the choice at the end, it was cool to play a game where you were the bad guy; but the "wrong" decision Joel made at the end of the first game was a decision most people would make.

    The way Part 2 sets up the story within the first 3 hours makes it seem like a revenge story, but by the end it becomes something completely    Extremely average.

    The way Part 2 sets up the story within the first 3 hours makes it seem like a revenge story, but by the end it becomes something completely different, and Ellie's motivations are a little odd, with an ultimately unsatisfying end that leaves things wide open for a sequel.

    The graphics are great, the gameplay is okay (Similar to the original, leaving much to be desired) and as before the music is fantastic. The story is a very disappointing followup. Character's motivations are odd, and out of character nearing the end of the game. The pacing is odd at times, trying to weave together two stories meeting at some point.

    It was impossible to follow up the greatness of the original, but this doesn't even come anywhere near furthering the legacy. If you want great graphics and decent gameplay, I'm sure you'll have fun playing the game, but I'm certain you'll feel as unfulfilled as I did 6 hours into the game, all the way through to the end. If a sequel were to come out, I just can't get excited about a ND game again after everything I loved about the original was butchered.    … 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]
