    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The people who are rating this game anything below a 5 I am convinced they haven't played the game. The game came out on June 19th and will take the average person at least 25 hours to play the entire game. Reviews are marked "June 19th" as if that gave them more than 24 hours to play the game they think is bottom of the barrel trash that a 0 rating implies.
    Almost every review is about not liking the narrative likely because of the leaks. Yet even if the story was terrible there is still the amazing rest of the game. The combat flows better, feels better, and still makes you feel like a badass.
    The animation is stellar, the voice-acting is stellar, the cinematography is stellar.

    People hate the narrative probably because Joel dies within the first section. If I were to guess these people wanted more Ellie and Joel time and this part killed them. Little did they know that they still keep that dynamic with the flashbacks. Not only that, but there is no other character in the game which could be able to drive that same hate Ellie feels for Abby if it wasn't Joel.
    The game succeeds spectacularly in everything it tries to do and if anyone tells you otherwise they are not only lying to you, but to themselves.    … Expand

    Funny how many 0/10 reviews for this got posted withing 12 hours of it coming out, when it takes at least 20 hours to finish, longer if you're actually exploring and playing as intended...

It's about the best and worst of humanity    Funny how many 0/10 reviews for this got posted withing 12 hours of it coming out, when it takes at least 20 hours to finish, longer if you're actually exploring and playing as intended...

    I will start by saying I can understand how this game isn't everyone's cup of tea. The world and stories that take place it in are unrelentingly dire. It's about the best and worst of humanity showing through under the most traumatic circumstances imaginable. That said, I don't know how anyone could say that this game isn't a solid product.

    Well, OK, I guess if you feel like a character being Jewish, or Gay, or Trans, or you know... a Woman, is "rubbing" an agenda in your face, I suppose you'll hate this. I personally like that they made none of those above traits the defining trait of any of the characters, they're people who happen to be one of the above, among many other well rounded things.

    Mechanically, I found playing the game a lot better than the first one. The reworks to character movement and stealth are a huge step forward without feeling like they were trying to reinvent the wheel. This also allowed for much more open and inventive level design, thanks to more mobile characters and more varied AI behaviors. The fact that the game feels similar, but not the same to the first one is a plus.

    Narratively, the story is a lot darker than the first iteration. It can be a slog at times. I was glad when it was over because I wasn't sure how much more I could take. But at the same time, I couldn't put it down until I reached the end. I played my first play through in about 25 hours, exploring liberally, and completed it in 2 days.

    Does it live up to the previous iteration? It's hard to say. I will say that it felt True. This is not a world of rosey outlooks and happy endings. The consequences of the previous game are significant, and though I was upset by what happened, I never felt like the events of the game didn't follow a natural progression of cause and effect. Ultimately, the ending felt satisfying, if melancholy, which frankly isn't that different from what I felt at the end of the first game.

    That said, The Last of Us was one of the greatest stories ever told in video gaming, so if Part II only reaches 90% of that level for you, it's still pretty good.

    The graphics and sound design are exceptional, the game is mechanically sound, and the narrative is well crafted. How anyone could give this game a 0/10... I dunno. As I write this, the game is out 2 days and it's 9420 - Green, 932 - Yellow, 22014 - Red reviews. I suppose, like the world this game depicts, the majority of people, free from the constraints of society, choose to be belligerent ****

    For my part, I first reviewed this as an 8/10 but every day I come back and I knock it down a point. It's a solid 6.5 in my book. A masterpiece of craft and storytelling that I really did not enjoy even a little bit. Days latter I'm still thinking about the ending and feeling bad about everything that came before.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and improved combat is all this game has. In the beginning we are lead to believe we will go on this harsh journey to bring justice to beloved Joel, just to forced to play as the insufferable villain and then forced to let them go after a terrible flashback story of the character that could of been written out all together. It seems the writers really were being lazy on this one cause the whole story doesnt make any sense. Why did the antagonist linger on Joel for this long instead of surviving and how come they survive the long journey when many parish. Why are the infected treated like such a side piece and not a main enemy. The characters they feel so hollow inside and out. Even playing the game feels like some cheap chinese knock off. Honestly if only Joel was around longer in the game or at least died in the end then it would be okay. Gonna never jump the gun on buying a new game a again… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, here's my problem with the other side of the Reviews that give it a perfect score.
    My logic is this : You gave 'The last of us 1' a 10 too, so you should be able to tell the difference between a great story with great narration and character arc, since you liked that 1st game so much. But you fail in this simple task, You saw no flaw. I repeat. You saw and played a PERFECT game.

    *Spoilers ahead*
    This game has no 'heart'. The story is weak and character choices are at least dumb and careless. There is no essential 'journey' here, only Jumpcuts years later. And this happens 3-4 times throughout the game. 4 years ehave passed, some years have passed, etc. This is poor writing in my opinion. There is no respect to the characters (bad or good), they all seem to be driven by anger but the game fails to communicate that anger. It just puts the player (which let's face it, we are not the player but rather a mechanism to progress the inevitable story, since you cannot alter any of the facts) to a dark place. A place where they want to put the controller down. If that's what they where going for, well, they did it.

    And then there is all this weird stuff planted in a videogame like, smoking weed, lesbian sex, transgender like characters nailed from behind by a director lookalike, a rather inappropriate way of killing essential characters from the 1st game's cover being spit on by a game director lookalike, poor dialogue, and it seems that WOMEN are the only essential part of this game. Furthermore, there are these silly fights in which Ellie or Abby seem to overcome with no broken arms or legs or anything really rather than some bruises, yet Joel doesn't even lifts his hands up when he is about to take a hit from Tiger Woods. It's just the directors way of giving us the middle finger. It's like he was angry at US or he is in such a miserable dark place of his own that thinks THIS can cause feelings to the player other than anger. Well, it can't.
    Then we have this angry looking face on the cover that screams revenge, yet no revenge ever occurs. And spare me with this 'she realised that killing her won't bring back joel'. She knew she couldn't make Joel come back right from the start. She just wanted revenge. Well, too bad she wasn't the director's favorite transgender.
    The way men die in this game (essential characters like Jesse , Joel and everything that starts with J probably) is just stupid. Tommy gets shot in the head and lives? In what universe a trauma like that heals in a post apocalyptic world? This is just POOR writing. And he talks too? like no nerves harmed? just a flesh wound? just to progress this hideous story?

    Sure, it's visually pleasant and rather smooth looking game, althgough the camera needed some work and some animation (like the dogs sliding turning animation in the city) needed extra love, the sound quality is excellent but there are sound effects like jumping that could be spared. Level design is great but the set pieces of the enemies needed work because normal people do not have this behavior in real world, like walking up and down in a corridor when they have a lookout right outside. Stealth is a joke since the outcome is probably every time the same.

    Gore. It's a gore galore. Gore right until the very end, where Anakin, sorry Ellie realizes that she can't lose any more fingers. And Abby needs to take the part of Joel for The Last of Us 3, where now a strong independent woman teaches that boy how things work.

    And you know the worst part? It's going to win Best game of the year award because all of these critics that FAILED to do the simple task of rating a game with so many flaws. They saw no flaw. I repeat. They saw and played a PERFECT game.    … Expand

    An impressive technical achievement that still manages to deliver effective and simple, yet arguably dated gameplay, with a story that shows moments of brilliance, yet is overall marred by poor writing that feels contrived, forced, self indulgent, and overly moralistic.

    pros:
    - excellent graphics
    - incredible environments to explore
    - dated, yet IMO still effective gameplay - an extension of TLOU's tense resource scarce combat and exploration
    - some very good story moments (in particular the flashbacks) that will make TLOU fans nostalgic - the game is arguably worth playing for these alone.
    - The game tries to do something very daring in its story, which is a good thing. As is the inclusion of new characters who are openly transgender (no, not Abby, but another new character), and who do grow close to you as the game progresses.

    negative:
    - very badly told story with a ton of "WTF, why did they just do that?" moments that are obviously out of place, are unintentionally funny, and appear to be included solely as a means to get the story moving
    - some unlikeable new characters that give nothing new to TLOU universe
    - The game attempts to make a player question the point of violence, yet does this by never giving you a choice in key moments, and makes the possibility for complete stealth gameplay (no kills) virtually impossible (eg. in order to fully explore an environment and gather resources you will have to kill all enemies, otherwise full exploration is near impossible. The game thus forces you to play in a certain way otherwise you will either not progress, or will miss half of its contents - significantly, this is not due to difficulty, but rather a failure in game design).

    On the whole if the story writing and screenplay had been better the structure of this game could have really paid off... I found the idea of having a main character killed off early, and playing a part of the game as the antagonist, actually quite good - it is just how this is done, who these people are, and what they do that makes you laugh due to the cringe, which is an unintentional outcome of the poor writing.

    It gets an 8 due to the fun gameplay, incredible environments, great voice acting, and graphics... having finished the game it did manage to leave a profound effect, as the overall experience was still enjoyable despite the serious pacing and storytelling issues.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you read the review with spoilers, then you know that the developers killed Joel in the first hours of the game. With this act, the developers caused a loyal fan of the first part of the game a real pain. Sudden and sharp as a stab. But, as if this were not enough, the developers further force the player to look at how Ellie suffers and morally degrades. This brings the player no less pain, but a long and dull one. Like a toothache. And then the players are forced to play for Joel's killer - Abby. They reveal her as a bad person who is struggling to become good. Perhaps this would be a good move if the players did not have such a strong emotional connection with Ellie and Joel. But there is a connection. Therefore, attempts to humanize Abby in the eyes of the player look like a mockery. After all, in parallel with how Abby morally grows, Ellie sinks to the bottom and does terrible disgusting things. It will devastate you. And I think that the developers sought exactly this effect. But for what? To tell a banal story that revenge is bad. About that which causes only revenge and does not give deliverance.
    This is a commonplace thought, but this does not mean that this cannot be a topic of conversation. Because it is important. However, if you were going to tell the story of revenge in such a cruel way, then you should have given us the story of Abby, which would have hit the player’s heart as deeply as the story of Joel and Ellie. Then a collision between Elli and Abby's foreheads at the end would be appropriate. But instead, the developers tell us something very mediocre ... The story of Abby is the level of one episode in The Walking Dead. It is interesting, but I do not want my favorite characters to die for this ...
    In general, the screenwriter and the director get 3 out of 10 from me.
    Out of respect for the workers who worked on the game for 12 hours a day, I will give the game 7. I would give the employees more, because technically the game is almost excellent. But I can not. This is dishonest in relations with Joel, Ellie and their fans.    … Expand

It takes clever gameplay elements from the first game and makes welcome improvements in multiple ways. In an industry with a lot of mediocre releases this game does stand out from the crowd, and itLet's start with the obvious: this game did a lot right. Technically it's a masterpiece, the acting and mo-cap are excellent, the attention to detail and level of polish is exceptional. It takes clever gameplay elements from the first game and makes welcome improvements in multiple ways. In an industry with a lot of mediocre releases this game does stand out from the crowd, and it doesn't surprise me that critics loved it.

    Users have been more divided though, so let's next cover the elephant in the room: no, this game doesn't have "an agenda." Honestly I've asked lots of people what they mean by that and I've yet to receive a coherent answer (unless you count "the existence of lesbians" as an agenda). This game has flaws, but they aren't related to politics in either the game's themes or its creators.

    So why did this game not match the excellent first game? Well there's 2 things you need to realise about the story. Firstly, many games centre around player agency but TLOU2 has fully fledged characters and instead invites you to walk in their shoes- whether you agree with their decisions or not. The first game did this too (I remember much ranting about the lack of choice at the end of that game), so this isn't inherently bad game design, but it could cause frustration. Secondly, this game is about revenge but it isn't about catharsis of *achieving* revenge. This isn't Taken or John Wick where revenge is the flimsy excuse for a bad-ass character to leave a trail of violence. Instead it's really about obsession: about pursuing revenge to escape something else; repeatedly characters throw themselves into courses of action in order to avoid something that is really hurting them (in the 2 main examples it is avoiding grief by pursuing revenge, well past the point of rationality, but in 1 case it's really to avoid an awkward conversation... yeah I know.)

    So Naughty Dog had an ambitious idea for a story- make the player walk in the shoes of characters who are running from their emotions, who act abhorrently, who the player has reason to hate. It could have worked too, but I think (personal theory here) the reason user scores have been so divided is because ND tripped themselves up in the story-telling, and as a result they didn't manage to bring everyone along with the story in they way they hoped.

    I'll avoid specific spoilers, but despite dramatic early events the first part of the game is actually a slow burn. There isn't much tension between the characters present then, so all of the narrative tension comes from the distant promise of pursuing revenge. But on top of this, the game heavily uses flashbacks to flesh out story points. Taken on their own, these flashbacks are lovely and beautifully written, but in the pacing of the game they feel like interruptions. In the Left Behind DLC of the first game flashbacks worked really well- but that game alternated between 2 time periods. In TLOU2 each flashback is to a new vignette- requiring exposition, setting, and sometimes new characters. They feel like side-quests that interrupt the flow of the main story. And this leads up to the first big problem: a significant story moment occurs midway through TLOU2 where the writers take their first big ambitious leap- and it feels at first like another sidequest. Rather than engaging in the dramatic new perspective, I think many players played on wanting to get back to the "main" story- and thus missed that, actually, the story was now going in a completely different direction to tell a completely different message. Miss that turn and everything in this game's second half feels incoherent.

    Having said that, this game also loses a point for the 3rd act, which either wasn't long enough or was too long. It had its moments, but it lost all momentum and the final big moments felt more like a whimper than a bang. Again, if you had missed the change in storytelling direction 10 hours earlier the ending wasn't just limp- it must have seemed utterly detached from the "revenge story" of the early game.

    So overall, exceptional game in many ways but over-ambitious story that it couldn't quite pull off the telling required to make it land with everyone, and an ending that works better on paper than in delivery. A sequel to a rightly beloved game that fell short of that standard. Nevertheless one of the better games I played this year and it deserves 8/10 (far worse games have scored better!)    … 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]
