    The Last of Us Part 2 goes out of its way to preach, shame, and leave the player unsatisfied at every opportunity, and makes illogical decisions for how it presents its simplistic, common-sense themes.

    There is a whole host of good in the game, but those diamonds are not worth the mountain of dirt needed to claw through to reach it. I will touch upon graphics, sound, gameplay, and then story.

    Graphics:

    Definitely a step up in visual fidelity for this generation. Facial animation rarely gets this good in AAA games. You will constantly be in awe at the amount of detail, design, and animation present. The game runs at checkerboard 4K on the PS4 pro, but unfortunately it runs at a capped 30fps and occasionally dips down to the low 20s, so if you're a PC gamer used to 60fps and above you may want to skip this. There is also this awful film grain effect always present that cannot be disabled like the motion blur and camera shake can be.

    Sound:

    Amazing sound design, the library of ambient and dynamic noise in this game is basically perfect. The music is perfect, although some segments of the gameplay are silent where you have no companion to speak to and no atmosphere to suck in. A good tune or two in these segments would have helped alleviate boredom. Another issue with the sound is that the volume mixing isn't as clean as it could be, your companion footsteps are just as loud as yours and enemies two rooms over can sound as if they're a few feet away. Rather than using your own sense of sound, you're a slave to the game's listen mode that highlights enemies through walls. I'm sure, however, that tweaking the deep sound settings could help this as you can tweak dynamic range, sound source angles, etc. The majority of players will not do this however.

    Gameplay:

    Rather than advancing the formula from the first game, Naughty Dog decided to advance it "diagonally", in that some things are better and some things are changed just for the sake of it. Swapping weapons before getting new holsters is the exact same except you press X instead of Square. Changing shoulder aim is still done while aiming but you press Square instead of R1. You still craft a few new items but sometimes they're just not worth using unless you're in a situation where you're desperately using everything you have. You can go prone in grass now to hide, but it's functionally the same as if they had just added more cover everywhere. You can jump but it's useless outside of linear traversal.

    Gunplay has not evolved in a meaningful way since the first game. You're still expected to go for headshots constantly, in spite of the artificial aim sway and having to aim with a thumbstick, as well as a bloomed reticule that never shrinks to pinpoint accuracy ala Red Dead Redemption. Do yourself a favor and disable camera sway in the accessibility options and increase your FOV. Enemies are still bullet sponges unless you get head-shots or opt for melee. You can easily be stun locked to death, or knocked down as an NPC tags you with a John Wick shot the second you poke your head out. Though combat never gets hard, it can easily be more annoying than fun at times. The game clearly wants to encourage stealth.

    The stealth in this series has not taken any meaningful less from the greatest stealth games released in the past decade. Enemies have more realistic sight lines (sometimes, sometimes you can walk clear past them in plain view) meaning you need to move between cover more often and look for openings. However, you have a very slow movement speed meaning if an enemy decides to randomly turn around you have to pray you'll make it to the next bit of cover before he sees you. Even this is inconsistent though, as VERY often I'll be detected up to 5 seconds after moving behind cover. TLOU1 and 2 also commit the stealth game sin where one enemy detects you and everyone knows where you are, even if they don't get a chance to shoot or scream.

    The tools they give you to navigate these stealth challenges are basic; some silenced weapons, throwables, and a takedown. Silenced weapons are only useful if you can reliably headshot every enemy in the level first try. Throwables are abundant, until they aren't. Melee takedowns are incredibly slow and can get you in more trouble than sneaking by, only effective if near cover or isolated. Levels cannot be ghosted intuitively first try, as it relies more on map knowledge and patrol routes than skill.

    The "puzzles" in this game are awful and usually just amount to going the long way or reusing elements you'll learn in the first 3 hours without any creativity, or finding a paper that gives you a safe combo.

    For a critique on the story, I recommend Hoeg Law as I've hit the character limit    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having an opinion is everyone's right, but it's such a shame that so many would review bomb a game they haven't finished, or in many cases even played, just because they didn't like the path the story took. I didn't like what happened in the game either. I was intensely attached to the characters at the end of part 1, and to see the way part 2 ended left me hollow, sad, and empty. But for me, the beauty in this game lies in its ability to make you feel, intensely, what's going on in the moment. The gameplay is absolutely stunning. I've never played a game that's had my heart pounding to the extent that this one did. The graphics, mind-blowing. I struggle to see why we even need another console generation so soon (not that I'm complaining), when my launch PS4 is able to give me such a stunning immersive experience. And the storyline, well, it's tough. The only joy you find are in the little moments, like the flashback to Ellie's birthday. But that's what TLOU is about. The world is bleak, joyless, and the game makes you come to terms with that far better than even the masterpiece that was part 1 did. Furthermore, never before has a game made the player come to terms with their own actions like TLOU2. Two instances in particular spring to mind. First, where you slaughter a vicious dog, and later are made to play catch with the same dog and see what a sweetheart she is (RIP Alice). Second, where Ellie gets information from a seemingly meaningless character, who in the second portion of the game we see as a jovial character who had simply been protecting herself. Without giving much away, I have never been made to feel so profoundly by any video game, or any form of media for that sake. There are times when the game gets uncomfortable to keep playing, but that's what makes this franchise what it is.
    Also, just as a P.S. (Spoiler Alert), the moment where Ellie tells Joel she will try forgive him for lying about the fireflies made me so emotional I almost had to stop altogether.    … Expand

The knockback you experience when you get shot makes every shot feel more impactful and keeps you from wildly rushing enemies. The two separate but intersecting storylines made for an interesting storytelling device, but could have been executed better. I found myself rushing through the second storyline because I wanted to know how the cliffhanger I was left with concluded. Would have worked much better if the gameplay alternated evenly between the two characters, as opposed to all at once one at a time. Still a positive, challenging experience overall.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just list all the reasons why I absolutely hate this game.

    1. Beloved character Joel died like a dog. His demise is so meaningless, created just as a plot device to push the game forward. Worse yet, you can't even get the satisfaction of revenge. Poor Ellie travelled all the way to Santa Barbara just to SAVE the murderer at the cost of her two fingers. She later tried to play the guitar but because of her lost fingers she couldn't. This is just so fking sad and ridiculous. I cried twice at the end of the game. Why ever would you do this to your fans Naughty Dog? Do you take pleasure in making us sad and miserable?

    2. Too many inconsistencies in the game. Tommy initially tries to persuade Ellie to not to go to Seattle but later got mad because she didn't want to. Abby is painstakingly shown in the game as a moral character who pets her dogs and tries to do right by people who have helped her, yet she didn't even blink to smash Joel's head in, even after Joel and Tommy just saved her life (I mean, at least show her hesitating, but Neil is too incompetent to think of this). Without Lev's intervention Abby would have slit Dina's throat, with great satisfaction that is. So much for a moral character (btw Ellie didn't know Mel was pregnant and only killed her in self-defense. This is different.). Ellie had no problem killing hundreds of people just to take revenge on Abby, yet when she finally had the chance, she gave up. (This bewilders the heck out of me.) What's worse, when she gave up, she should be thinking of the two previous occasions when Abby spared her life, which would make Ellie sparing Abby much more understandable, yet she was thinking about Joel when she stopped choking Abby. Wtf? Why didn't Ellie become angrier thinking of him? Why would she let Abby go? I can't believe a game that takes 7 years to make has so many loopholes like this.

    3. You are forced to play Abby for half of the game. Because of her actions many players DO NOT want to empathize with her. This is just another example of the terrible design of the game. If they place Joel's death at the end of the game, after they have shown Abby's backstory and struggles, then people may find it much easier to empathize with her. But ND decides Joel should die as quickly and as miserably as possible at the hands of a total stranger that is Abby, which makes it much more difficult for players to relate to her sufferings, and therefore makes people sick and disgusted the whole time they are playing as Abby. Want some proof? Just check out how many players tried to suicide Abby. I did it, many times, and it felt amazing.

    4. Shocking people for shock’s sake. Many of the scenes in the game feel unnatural, contrived, and illogical. Examples: Joel and Tommy suddenly go stupid and walk right into a group of strangers to whom they honestly confide their names; Abby’s group decide to spare Ellie’s life despite her repeated threatening of their life (the logical move was to kill her, but obviously the story has to continue); the brutal fight between Ellie and Abby at the theater can only end after Abby (played by you, who hate her guts) has killed Jessie, shot Tommy in the head, beaten Ellie to a pulp, and nearly cut Dina’s throat. There is no other way to continue the story (This is by far the single most disgusting plot design I have ever played in my entire life.). What is even more retarded, though, is Abby’s decision to spare Ellie’s life, AGAIN (…Well, it turns out in the end that this decision was actually not so bad, since Ellie also became retarded and came a long way to RESCUE her and Lev, instead of seeking revenge on her). These unnatural and illogical plot development can only be explained by the writer’s deliberate attempt at shocking the audience: Joel and Tommy suddenly become stupid because Joel has to die in a spectacular way, so **** logic, they are going right into an ambush. And of course, Ellie has to be there to witness Joel’s head becoming a golf ball (shocking as hell), so she’s there to see it and later released (stupid move on Abby’s part). I can go on but I don’t want to; you get the idea: shocking people for shock’s sake makes the story stupid and unconvincing.

    5. False advertising. This has been talked about by many people. The scenes featuring Joel in the trailer was swapped by Jessie. This is unacceptable.

    6. Too much LGBT propaganda. Ellie is lesbian; Abby is stronger than most men; Lev is trans, and Dina is bisexual. I feel like I'm watching a LGBT show than playing an actual game. I do not hate the LGBT groups but such overrepresentation of them is cheap and shadows other themes like revenge, love, and redemption.

    I'm really sad at the moment, not only for the TLOU series, but also for the terrible fate that befell Joel and Ellie. I'm deeply hurt by this installment and I'll try my best to forget that it ever existed.    … Expand

Gotta say that this game wasn't what I was expecting, I mean, the plot is just a bad joke compared to the first, it went from surviving an apocalyptic world, devastated by a virus from an unknown fungus, to being a generic stealth-shooter? The gameplay is great, I must say that because is the true, but what is a game if it isn't completely enjoyable and fun? You have this, a boring and repetitive game without replayability.

Killing Joel in the beginning of the game was an awful decision, specially the way they did it, turning him into a gullible character, contrasting the first game. The way they tried to make Abby into a somewhat good character with understandable intentions was pitiful, by introducing her as just a stranger to the story that just decides to kill Joel in cold blood ruins any intention of an invested player trying to understand her, making the 10/15 (!) hours that you will have to play with her painful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game left a very bad feeling once I completed it. Let me first start off by saying this has nothing to do with the LGBTQ community since I did not mind/care about the same sex relationship or the transgender references/characters. What I did care about was the fact that the story just felt like nothing to me. From the beginning, once they announced a second game, I had a feeling Joel was going to die. It made sense, he had been around in the apocalypse for a long ass time, it was bound to happen eventually. Its important to be able to lose characters that you grow with, especially when it has the opportunity to pull out strong emotions from the audience. But this... This.. This was just too much. The fact that Joel gets smashed within the first few moments of the game was something, but the real issue I had with it was that he didnt get any honor to his death. No "I love you Ellie" or goodbyes, or anything. He is just gone, and after playing through him in the last game, growing with him over 7 years, and seeing him as the father figure he is. The developers felt it was okay to say bye bye. Which is just wrong.

    As for Abby, I have not hated a character more than her. I think they could have done some good things with her, but the fact that I had to play as her for 10-15 hours of my gameplay, going through a story that I did not care about at all, and meeting characters I counted give a **** about and kind of wanted to kill right there, did not sit well with me. From the few times I would die as Abby, I laughed, because I cared that little for her character. I did not care for any of the main cast in her storyline, I did not care for the Scar children, and therefore as they all started to drop out one-by-one, I felt nothing. Nothing registered as they were killed because I did not feel anything towards the characters. The whole point of it was so that we can attempt to have some understanding and acceptance towards Abby, but that never came for me. (I'm not angry at her for killing Joel, just an f.y.i, like I said, him dying was not a bad part of the game)

    Oh and don't get me started about Jessie's death. They just had to get him out of there to make it easier for Dina and Ellie to be together so he wouldn't be around with the baby. Removing a great character like that who is a strong character supporting the Asian community was just a rude idea. Laziest story writing ever.

    All in all, this was a beautiful game. Design was 10/10, Gameplay itself was 10/10. It was the story and the characters which are the things that fell flat for me, and that is the biggest part of becoming attached to a game. You can make it look as pretty as you want, but you need more than graphics.    … Expand
