    *Huge spoiler alert*

    This game made me feel so much, the beginning of the game was so well done. I cried my eyes out when I heard Ellie beg for Joel's live to be saved. It was such a powerful scene that no one wanted to happen, but it did. That's what makes it so strong especially killing of Joel. Throughout the whole game I felt the anger Ellie felt. I needed revenge on all of them.    *Huge spoiler alert*

    This game made me feel so much, the beginning of the game was so well done. I cried my eyes out when I heard Ellie beg for Joel's live to be saved. It was such a powerful scene that no one wanted to happen, but it did. That's what makes it so strong especially killing of Joel. Throughout the whole game I felt the anger Ellie felt. I needed revenge on all of them. When we got to the part where we killed Nora and the square button popped up. I smiled and actually took my sweet time killing her. It was **** up but so well done. When we killed Owen and Mel and Ellie unzipped her jacket and saw that she was pregnant was insanely well made. Abby saved Lev at all cost and she came to the aquarium expecting her friends alive and well. But they were brutally murdered. I don't care which character experiences this but no one deserves that. Even though when I played as Ellie and killed them I loved it. It was great seeing the other side of the story.

    I get the hate for this game, I totally do. When we got near the ending and we had to hunt down Ellie as Abby I really wanted to stop. Even though I really liked Abby, but I like Ellie more. Then the most unexpected ending ever happened. We lived in a farmhouse with Dina's baby and I had to get the sheeps inside of the barn. However somehow everything reminded Ellie of Joel's death and I cried again when I had to run down those stairs in her hallucinations. The ending of the game is the only thing that I wish they changed. I hoped we actually had a choice to kill Abby and if you did. You'd just see her lifeless body with lev in the boat and realize what you've just done. While writing this the good ending is actually, leaving her alive.

    Abby did the same thing, she killed Joel but even after she did she still couldn't get her mind of her dead father. Killing him literally only made her life worse and that's what Ellie prevented by letting her go. Really powerful story.

    Gameplay: 9/10, combat sometimes feels a bit wonky but I haven't seen a game do it better.
    Graphics 10/10, phenomal graphics. Don't have anything to say about that
    MUSICCCCCCCCCCC: 1000/10 I can't explain how much I love the soundtrack, I played this game with all the sound options on 40/100 and music 100/100 and I recommend you do the same.
    Story, 9/10, they could've just made a generic. Joel and Ellie go on an adventure thing again. Which honestly would be just as good but this made it so much more unpredictable and powerful.

    the game for me is a 9.3/100 but im giving it a 10 because in no universe does this game deserve lower than a 7/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I'm just going to talk about the story, gameplay and graphics are already a 10/10 for me. And I'm sure most of yawl may share the same opinion till here.

    Now, where you all will disagree is this. SPOILER ALERT.

    I do understand why people wouldn't like this game. But I'd also say or quote Troy Baker, "keep an open mind". If you actually look and understand the story closely, the writing does induce the feeling of loss of a loved one in real life. I mean, to be honest, I've never actually felt such anger for some character dying, that too in a game. The game makes you feel 'Hate'.
    Well yeah, anytime anyone can nitpick this w being 'overly complex' just to keep up w the 1st one. Eventually, inducing hate in audience for the series. But if you do look at some avant garde film concepts, you'd definently realize it's not only about relatability with audience's mind, but also about making them 'feel' the emotion. (Wouldn't be a right example, in comparison. But may prove my point for you, only if you're interested in the avant garde)

    I mean look at films by Andre Tarkovsky, they make you feel 'time' or by Carlos Reygadas which make you feel 'a perplexed individual's reality' or even by Quentin Tarantino which make you feel comedy in absurdity.

    Now talking about the complexity, (just my opinion) I felt it was perfectly balanced out. Neil Druckmann didn't force you to 'empathise' with Abby. Coz if he did, he wouldn't have gone for an aftermath ending where an older Ellie takes an effort to take revenge and looses all she had; my man could've simply made this game an Abby biased game instead of keeping it 50/50 each character perspective with Ellie biase. I mean, I'm damn sure even Druckman knew nothing can account for Joel's death. So what he did instead is show you a 'perspective' of a villian (and not her side of the story by forcing you to empathizing with her). And to keep that 'perspective' interesting he uses the concepts of 'war' during the Abby sequences to elaborate how everyone has an internal war. Abby's internal war is guilt, Ellie's revenge, Lev's sexuality.

    And just like a war to end all war does nothing but creates more, the ending sequence where they both fight like beaten up pigs is just so you see this situation from an objective yet ellie's POV.

    Well, at least to me (call me an opem minded naive) but honestly... by the end of the game, I felt Joel did have to go. (Though it's a personal biase) But w the concepts of war, space and ocean the game did get meexistential and made feel Joel's death as a trivial part of survival. Yet I cried when he did. (Well, some might've felt it's a drag.. but I just simply loved the game)

    Thanks for reading this far and wasting your precious time :P    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From many other negative reviews I can clearly tell that our world is stuck up - apparently even the gamer community or those trying to politicise it with their reviews, trying to shut down developers that dare to try and depict the virtual humanity as it is and not as singular as those upholding obsolete worldviews nowadays would enjoy them to do.

    I get it: Women loving women (and not men as they are supposed to in your little world) is hard to take if you kinda despise women because none ever touched you.. Having saved little Ellie from zombies only to have her grow up a lesbian surely frustrates all those idiots that were likely even already drooling over her as a minor in part 1. sure, the game has its plot twists that are shocking and need some getting used to.. it is differwnt, felt just like playing uncharted 4.5 with different protagonists..

    but those who claim even mechanics are bad and no upgrade to the first game.. they are simply wrong.. it is easy to recognize the gameplay and mechanics from last of us.. just they were refined here and everyrhing goes really smoothly.. awesome gameplay.. no npcs getting stuck etc. i havent seen any bugs either.. (ea, maybe you should hire naughty dog to consult you on this haha..)

    graphics are mindblowing and story telling is too in my eyes. unless you hate the world and lesbians and a male strong alpha type protagonist being switched for a female. sjw stuff works for me too. i always connected with ellie and thus i wanna avenge and destroy and hated almost just as much as she did.

    if you hate this game because of what you say is "character choices", bad story telling or "the developers sending a political statement". poor you. little heads up.. the world is changing. and surely isnt close to your obsolete wishful thinking reality anymore.. victim role warriors: yes, now the weirdos and queers took video games away from you as well.. if you hadnt stayed inside gaming away your loser reality instead of living life and experiencing the world and its people.. i am sure you would love it as much as you hate it now.. not too late yet.. just a wake up call maybe? get over your weird phantasizing over ellie dying already.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think this game is the right game for this current historical period.
    I like the idea of how the ending of Uncharted (straight) was also the best The Last Of Us (homosexual) was the same. Compliment to all the company of Naughty Dog and to the director Neil Druckmann who managed to represent also the other part off the love.
    Which is completely natural but which has been the historical victim of renegades and secular punishments.
    Open the minds that we are in 2020 after Christ.
    Live and let live and if you don't like the topic, don't play with it, nobody will force you.

    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]
