    Beautifully tragic. An emotion grappling story about morally ambiguous survivors, doing what they believe needs to be done to overcome grief, trauma and loss. Plenty of darkness with glimmers of hope and light. This sequel stayed painfully true to it’s characters and most importantly, the world created in the first game.

    A garbage game for a garbage console, I fiddled into it for exactly six hours, when I had to play as a woman-man, I turned off the game and permanently deleted it from my account, graphics of 2012, 15 fps in scenes with more than 3 enemies, plot the retarded, mentally ill Dryckmana, in general, this game should be in the trash, like the console itself.

    Great game. It's intense and very fun to play. You might not like the story and some choices that the developers made but it's a great game and must be played.

    I am sure that many simply did not understand this game. I really liked The Last of Us 2. Largely because of the plot. He's definitely not bad. The game has a lot of unique mechanics, there is a unique physics of shooting, a unique presentation of the plot.

    One of the most disappointing video game releases I can remember since brink for me.

    I played the first game countless times. I prayed they would make a sequel and then waited patiently for years. The first game was such a perfect standalone experience that it didn't need another game, but it was so enjoyable and immersive that it left me wanting more. I wanted to experience more of these characters. Now that I got that wish, I wish I hadn't.

    The characters just don't feel right, the gameplay doesn't feel as satisfying as the first, the story did not need to be told, in fact, I struggle to see what story they were even trying to tell. Obviously it's a tale about revenge, but there are so many questionable and down right dumb or boring events that happened that it made me scoff at my screen a few times saying REALLY?

    The graphics are the only thing that truly felt "Naughy Dog Quality." It truly is the most beautiful looking game I've ever played, but that just doesn't carry it. It drags on waaaaaay past it's welcome in terms on length as well with me just wanting it to end after 15 hours or so.

    All in all, I hope they never end up making a third game. I can't believe I feel that way after how obsessed I was with the first. There just isn't much they could do to make me care about this franchise after this one.

    Maybe I'm being harsh because of how much I loved the first game, but I'm being honest. The taste has been soured for me.    … Expand

    The most woke and overated game of all time. Never trust critics. They are all partisan hacks. Too cringy to finish. Incredibly implausible and assinine plot. Only decent thing about this "game" is its visuals.

    Neither a 10/10 nor a 0/10, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Bold narrative choices have been made, but not necessarily the best.

    Just finished playing it. What an intelligent and intriguing ending... What a feat of writing such complex and authentic characters and what a staging. I've never experienced anything like that. And what a great idea to convey both sides of the story so intensely and to create this fascinating dichotomy in me. An absolute masterpiece for me.

    The game story is garbage. Just a political agenda shoved on your face. The gameplay is repetitive and boring. And this gets a Game of the Year?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Naughty Dog said they don't like the word fun and it showed.
    Great job from the developers, the game looks great, is well polished. The gameplay is improved but it doesn't feel that intense as the last one, where it felt more like a survival (you cared for every shill and bullet you find.
    Usually this makes a game at least 6 but for me it can't even be a 5.
    It was hard to fail with the story because so many interesting things was already prepared from the first part, but somehow they didn't care for that and they preferred to force new characters. Characters that never had enough story to care about and Aby, who had a lot of story, had a very bad written one.
    If her killing Joel at the start was moved close to the end I think it made some things better.
    If the marketing didn't try so much to hide what they already knew people would hate, maybe it would be better revived but I'm sure the game would've sell a lot less.
    The game is very focused on the story so even if it's okay on the other parts the story brings it down.
    Some people may like it, but a lot of people would watch anything and be okay with it. A small number care for real quality.
    It's nothing bad with that. Sometimes you just like something that it's not "wow", smart or mind blowing.
    This game somehow managed to divide people so much and I think this is because of the arrogance that Naughty Dog shows when it comes to this game. They always tell people how good the game is, that they should try it first then ask questions. If a game is good, you don't need "the cook" to tell you how and why the "food is a delicious masterpiece".
    I can make my own opinion, I don't need you to tell me how to fell about your game.
    Joel.
    Is killed without any dialog between him and Aby (his killer). His relationship with Ellie didn't evolve as much and it felt like after all of that he still wasn't able to open up more, to be more friendly (like he was with Sarah).
    His small number of past memories with Ellie shown during the game don't feel as important as if he was still alive.
    If he died after we saw him forming a deeper connection with Ellie, some more bounding, then I would care more and it would make me care more when I see him being killed.
    Ellie.
    She is different, more bitter, more like every other NPC in the game. She is not interested in jokes. Now she wants to get high and make sex. All good and everything but she didn't have any objective until she wanted revenge. She wants revenge and fails but then leaves all she had left behind just to try again?
    What about the virus and stuff like that? I guess she doesn't care about that anymore. She's just a stubborn and stupid little girl that doesn't evolve in any way during the game. She was even more interesting and competent in the first game.
    In the end she clearly doesn't want revenge anymore, it clearly doesn't matter. If she didn't do anything it was objective complete because Aby would've died a slow and painful death. She instead goes to all the trouble to help her, to force her to fight and after she lost some fingers and had even more reasons to take revenge, in just a few seconds she says no.
    That's it. The ending has nothing. I don't care if she survives. She left her last friends/lover for revenge, she doesn't try to find if a cure is possible anymore.
    In the first game's ending I was interested: what will they do, they will remain friends, will she still want to be killed to make a vaccine if she has the chance and knows the truth, is there no more cities unaffected by the virus, will Joel try to be more open with Ellie...
    I had so many questions when part 1 ended but now in part II I don't care, I have nobody to care for, there's no objective, no questions, no future.
    Aby.
    Some people hate her way to much. It's just a very bad written character. She is close to impossible to like.
    They show her torturing Joel until she kills him. She doesn't talk with him, ask him why, ask him if he's sorry, tell him what she thinks about what happened.
    After that I should care for Aby? She tortured slowly someone, without asking or telling why/who/what/when/what now.
    Then she plays with a dog and does a few good things and that somehow makes me forget about how much she insisted on torturing somebody? Kill Joel, but at least Joel did it because they didn't want to let Ellie leave. Ellie was never asked if she was ready to die, she would've never know that it was the end.
    Part II didn't try to build on what Part I did. Make you care for new people, understand what will happen and why, understand what the characters want. They just take out one important character at the start (the main one) then they try to force the others.
    Just showing some good interactions doesn't make good character development.
    How many will buy Part III knowing the story now? Knowing that Naughty Dog doesn't want to make fun games, they want to force a story where we're forced what to think or care about.    … Expand

    This game doesn't deserve to be GAME OF THE YEAR. An over saturation of LGBTQ agendas and strong independent women. And almost all men in this game are nobody. I went through this sh*t with difficulty, but if there was an opportunity to return the money for this product, I would return it.

The story in order to get it you really need to be open minded about it and not to lose your shi* after the first 1 hour or so in the game. The story is just memoreable a story that you will not forget any time soon, very emotinal, but very rough and depressing and i get it the story is not for everyone you will need to have some gut to finish the game but all and all i simply loved it i think that this game is the only game that made me think over the story even 1 or 2 weeks after i finished it. The game is just dripping with atmosphere one of the most atmospheric game i have ever played purely outstanding. The combat is so fun, satisfying and intense and it has the best stealth combat i have seen in a video game and the atmosphere makes it that way. Aaaand the wolrd...is just too beautiful...with tons and tons, and i mean it, of details is just amazing. I really think that this game is a masterpiece and is so sad that some people rated this with a 0...this game just don't deserve this...ok i get it you dont like the story but how the hell you rate 0/10 a game whith a quality like this really now..Recommend this game at any time 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.
