    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely the Last Jedi of video games. It subverted almost every expectation i had for this game. We can all agree the soundtrack and graphics are AMAZING, especially considering this game is running on console, but the story is where everyone is divided. It took me roughly 17 hours to beat and when the credits started to role i felt DISGUSTED! "what game did i just play? What was the point in all of this. Nothing was achieved by anything that i had done on my journey to the end."

    But then i went to bed and thought about it. I thought about it a lot. I was so affected emotionally by how it made me feel i didn't realise how much it got to me. As Neil Druckmann stated, "the first game is about love, this game is about hate". I didn't hate it because it was poorly written, cause its not, i hated it because i wasn't thinking it from every characters perspective.

    When playing the second act of the game as Abby, all i was thinking about was "why in gods green earth am i playing as someone i absolutely loathe AND FOR SO GOD DAMN LONG! What game did i pay for?" i asked myself. But then as her arch went on I understood her head space, it got to the point i even questioned why i loved joel so much to begin with. Context also, last of us one is my favorite game ever, so much so i bought the custom PS4 pro and collectors edition. I could see where Abby is coming from, just as much as i could see where Ellie was coming from. I read a lot of people saying this game has tarnished the legacy of such a beloved character (being Joel), but the way i see it, it made you see the flaws in the people you love. Something a lot of people have a hard time doing even in their own personal lives. This game brought me to a place emotionally no other game has before, which is why i rate it so highly. If you have only seen the leaks without context, i highly recommend you play it as it really can only be defined by the overall journey and the context brought to light because of it.

    And i know most of you haven't played it cause when I beat it, i was one of 0.5% of people who owned the game who had done so. You trying to tell me 36k people make up 0.5% of the game??? im gonna hit F to doubt.

    I didn't give it a 10/10 because of how misleading the marketing was, and not for the reasons you think. I was so not onboard playing as Abby cause i did not get myself into the head space to do so. If it even slightly alluded to the fact in the games marketing that id be playing as someone else for almost a full half of the game (without any narrative context obviously) i would have enjoyed that portion of the experience a lot more.

    This game is BOLD, and begs the question of what defines right and wrong. Both characters are protagonists and Both are antagonists in their own right. I don't think I've ever seen such perfect form of story telling, as well as such well written characters. You will not like this game if you refuse to accept people who you adore have done **** things for their own self interests, and that people you hate have good reason to feel and do the things they do, and vise versa.    … Expand

    Having finished the game I can say 99% of people rated game havent played it. Graphics are excellent gameplay is fun and reminds last of us 1. Story is interesting with its own twists. Play game for yourself instead of crying about it..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm between a 9 or a 10. This game did something I haven't experienced before in any media. It massively explored our feelings and the ability to empathize with someone who hurt you really bad. I do feel that the ending was "cut short", which kind of reminds me of Life is Strange 1. As if they were in a hurry. I liked the gameplay, although it's not for everyone. If you liked the gameplay in the first one, I don't know why you wouldn't like it in the second one. It's weird that the most emotional parts were during flashbacks, but they still hit the spot. I'll think about this game for a while.… Expand

    Great graphics, but the plot clearly shows that the creators decided to spit in the face of heterosexuals who came into the game to protect themselves from the LGBT community. Developers probably believe that only minorities play their game, but they don’t consider normal people to be people.

    Let me start off by saying I love the last of us part 1. It's my favorite game of all time. I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face. Going into this game I was trying to have an open mind. I didn't mind ellie being gay so much.

I wasn't a big fan of the DLC because I feel like an agenda was being forced and pushed in my face. Going into this game I was trying to have an open mind. I didn't mind ellie being gay so much. It bothered me in the DLC because she was like your daughter and I never once questioned her sexuality or cared to know. I didn't really have a problem with ellie being gay in this game seeing as she is much older and I don't feel like naughty dog really pushed it too hard. i feel like it flowed naturally and it wasn't just shoved down my throat. I think when they introduced the trans kid things were a little too much there. It was definitely forced and an obvious agenda was at play. I was kinda confused when I first saw abby but after learning about her background I understood her character. The graphics in this game were incredible. I also loved the gameplay. The main things I absolutely hated about this game was the ending. I think if i played this and didn't look at the leaks I would have hated it more when Joel died. I guess I kinda just accepted it before the game came out so i lived with it seeing as I preordered the game. Once the game panned over to Abby after the Theatre encounter I couldn't wait to hurry through and see what happens next. Let me tell u it feels like this game NEVER ends and in the worst way possible, but you keep playing to find out. Only to be F'ed over so hard with the ending its so unreal. The ending was so bad it has potentially made me not even want to buy a ps5 next gen and that says ALOT. I mostly buy playstation to experience games from naughty dog like uncharted last of us and FF7 remake is big on my upcoming games, but after seeing how sony and naughtydog treated this whole situation I think I might go rock out on some Halo next year. I would like to at least give this game a 5 for graphics because those developers deserve a well 10/10 for that, but this director has F'ed this game up so bad I have to rate a 0 and try to give it the lowest overall score as possible so maybe decisions can be made to better the brand.… Expand

You ruined such a great IP, I can't believe I defended you, I thought the game was good at first but then it turned into complete garbage. I won't be finishing it. I waited literally 7 years, from the moment I beat the first game until now. I wish I could get a refund.

    Can all those paid critics just delete their accounts? Because there is no chance in any universe does this shameful sequel of a most brilliant game deserve even 20 metascore. I would go even further and say it is worse then warcrat 3 reforged with how naugthy dog stepped on their fans with this trash of a story

    I don't genuinely hate the story. it can be a good story if the storyteller actually think about the characters and the insight in first part. So much hard work ruined, what a shame.
    If you consider this a random game without tlou2 title, meh, it aight.

    Quite frankly some of the reviews on here are utterly absurd.

    This game represents the pinnacle of video gaming. Offering unparalleled, gut wrenching challenging gameplay coupled with beautiful graphics.

    Be in no doubt. This is the best video game ever made. Do not let the inaccurate reviews on here dissuade you. Thankyou Naughty Dog.

You can say it is rediculous. Joel will never trust anyone easily, Joel will never go to anyone's place while he don't know that person , Joel will never help Abby for sure. Joel is very f**king CAREFULLY person in The last of us Pt.1. Only 4 years cannot change what what he did and was for over ten years. Trust me, the story that is signature of the last of us part 2 is wasted of time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi so this is my first ever review and I can honestly say that I loved this game everything about it had me hooked from the griping emotional roller coaster of a story to the greatly intuitive controls.
    In retrospect of the story I'm not 100% happy with the direction you took especially with the killing of joel but after going through my paces with the game I have come round to the idea and can see the reason why you took the direction that you did and I'm glad that I stuck with it too the end this is coming from someone who fell in love with joel from day 1 and a person who spent 40 different play throughs just spending time with my favourite ever characters to come out of a video game.

    With this all said I hope that Naughty Dog doesn't take the hate to heart and listens to the points given by them and there more positive fans feedback and moves on to still make great games for us to enjoy I'm personally super happy with The Last OF US 2 and can't wait to see where Naughty Dog goes in the future.

    Much love a fan.    … Expand

    Neil Druckmann simply took and ripped out heart from the fans. They did not care about everything, the main thing is to work out the agenda of minorities. He forever destroyed the story ... even the first part will now be apprehensively remembered. He has no forgiveness.

    Disappointment is no limit.

    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]
