    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is **** mental. Feeling sorry for the small minded **** missing out on Joel's museum tour and other moments that actually make you grieve for a video game character. Never been so immersed in combat and exploration. I appreciate the people that have actually played it and enjoyed it for themselves instead of crying and banding together with the other sheep just to **** on it… Expand

    This game is amazing... beginning to end. Especially the 2nd half. It’s disgusting seeing these babies cry about a story all because they aren’t mentally mature enough to understand.

    Beautiful experience and a worthy sequel. The art, direction, acting, music, gameplay and writing is exemplary. It’s a journey worth taking, brutal, honest and full of moments that will break your heart and leave you questioning everything.

    A very decisive game, clearly. The story takes risks, and doesn't play it safe. The best literary work does the same. No one wins a Man Booker Prize for writing what was expected or safe.

    Expectation is a dangerous thing...

    The details Naughty Dog have gone into in creating this game is incredible. Especially the animations , this is a next gen preview on current gen hardware.

    Seeing the perspective of Abby later in the game makes this story much better and anyone hating on the ending , misses the point of why Ellie spares her.

    Is it as good as the first games story ? No Is it still a fantastic story yes.    … Expand

    I don't see why this game is getting so much hate! I purchased this game for my wife's two children from a previous relationship,Tyson and Deontay. They thought it was great! I played it with my wife's current boyfriend as well and even he agreed that, it was not only stunning.......but also brave!

Sure, there are problems with the game that I won't deduct points from the game for example there is a clear lack of black main characters in the game. To me Neil Druckmann needs to create TLOU3 and prove that black lives truly do matter, we could have Will Smith and Al Sharpton be playable characters with the main arc of the story being oppressive white men dictating our current political landscape. To me, that would be so true of today's current landscape, but until this happens Neil Druckmann can't tell me that black lives matter!!

    And yeah another amazing hit from Neil Druckmann what a powerful man this guy is, another wonderful game and finally that toxic white man from TLOU1 is gone. THANK YOU DRUCKMANN!!!

    So this game is VERY OBVIOUSLY getting review bombed. I see review bombing as an extremely distasteful and immature practice...

I see review bombing as an extremely distasteful and immature practice... First off, there is NO WAY that this many people finished the game after only being out a few hours (when the negative reviews started popping up), therefore they're basing their reviews off of hearsay, political views and/or very initial opinions at the least - which is not fair. Admittedly I'm only about 5 hours in and I'm working from home if that tells you anything - I gots the time to put in and I've barely grazed the surface. I mean are all these people just like "F$*% it" and staying up to play for 30 hours straight ignoring the rest of their lives? I don't think so...

    The story-line *5 hours-in* is emotionally charged, the characters are ok - not mind-blowing but also not worthy of a zero... The very first thing that caught my attention is the graphics. Now I'm a PC gamer and I originally only bought the PS4 for Bloodborne. I've come to appreciate the PS4 as it's opened me up a whole new category of PS4 exclusives which are mostly top tier quality games. Within the first 20 minutes I got used to the 24fps @ 4K on the PS4 (down from 144fps @4K on my monster PC) and in all honesty I was pretty blown away... (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)

    I think the problem of the blatant review bombing stems from within two areas... 1) there have been some leaks and some of these story-based leaks have been extremely unpopular with hardcore fans and 2) The use of LGBT characters is seen by many in gaming culture as a sneaky way of forcing a political agenda onto the audience. This kind of thing definitely happens and it can ruin a game if it's over the top, but IMHO it's NOT the case here. Before even giving the game a chance many stubborn fans are screaming "SJW! SJW!". For myself, I appreciate diversity in both life and in games. I love seeing/hearing a story from someone who doesn't make similar lifestyle decisions as I do or maybe belongs to a subculture that I don't have much knowledge of. It's eye opening and by having some diversity in games it only helps the community. I do admit that I don't like political agendas shoved down my throat either but that is NOT what is happening here. She just happens to be gay, that's it, end of story - get over it. I honestly think that by continuously bringing this up it only makes the gaming community look like we're bigoted/closed-minded and I know that many of us are not.

    As I stated, I'm only about 5 hours in and I've been trying not to catch any spoilers... I will come back and write an HONEST review once I have finished the game but for now at least, take user reviews with a grain of salt.    … Expand

    Naughty Dog could not have made the end of the first game more meaningful than they did in part 2. Of course Joel being killed is a slap in the face; it's supposed to be and drives the whole story.

Of course Joel being killed is a slap in the face; it's supposed to be and drives the whole story. And then that story takes a turn and the person you perceived as the villain turns out to be very human aswell which is apparently a tough pill to swallow for all these 0 raters that can't distinguish fictional characters from reality. Joel and Ellie aren't some heroes from a comic destined to have great adventures for eternity and live to tell the tale. It's a rough world in which Joel did some horrible stuff and that just caught up to him. Of course everyone has a right to their opinion but I dont get how one could love the first game for what it was and proceed to **** all over part 2 because Joel is killed in a meaningful way. If you really loved Joel so much you should feel like Ellie and be extremely motivated to actually play the game instead of just the first 2 hours. then there's the SJW bull**** that I can understand even less. Ellie has been a confirmed lesbian since Left Behind and shouldn't be a big deal at all. Ih yeah and then there are some Asian characters one of which happened to be trans, you know, like how some people are in the real world. It ties into the story too, in a believable way. The game doesn't make a big deal of it, though, nothing is forced down your throat, it's just there. And although those things being there dont have to be political at all if you choose to not look at it that way but just take it as character trades, what the inclusion of those characters does show us how much bigoted closed minded people there are, who get so angry from a lesbian and a trans character that they feel the need to rate this game a 0 one hour after its release and proceed to spend hours ****ting on the game on social media and send threats to the developers. That last sentence applies to the 'can't get over Joel being killed' people aswell but at least they are not necessarily a bunch of homophobic **** but just can't grasp how amazingly well written the plot of Part 2 is. So long story short; I dont understand the hate this game gets at all. I get that this story might not be for everyone since it's dark and sad and unapologetic but at least go in with an open mind and actually play it. Just play it. Its such a damn good game from exceptional storytelling to stunning environments, ridiculously good graphics, beautiful soundtrack and overall audio, so many little details and great combat that has some improvements since the original Last of Us (though mostly the same but that's not necessarily bad).
    Downside is that the game is so realistic and soaks you into this post apocalyptic world so much that some encounters with infected almost made me crap my pants and made my heart almost explode with fear and adrenaline, especially with bloaters, shamblers and whatever the **** that thing in the hospital was.

    This game has and forever will divide players. Personally, this game is a masterpiece that has elicited certain emotions that no other form of media has before. Whether you are talking about its violent yet beautifully animated gameplay to its stunning graphical fidelity and impeccable audio design, there is no argument that Naughty Dog is on another level in terms of technical artistry.

    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.
