    Honestly hard to judge a game like this because it had really nice graphics. However if it is just the graphics then go watch a CGI video because this game is suppose to be about great story telling. It is here where they missed the mark. Spoiler free.

    The lack of character development and numerous hollow plots in LOU2 left me forcing myself to finish. Normally I have a few days after release and my video review is done but never have I felt more forced to play. While the character development is lacking so are the environment puzzles played a part of it predecessor. Game mechanics have improved a bit but nothing really innovative that I haven't done in other games over the past years.

    In the end there is one factor that made me post the lower score and that was answering the question. "Was I entertained by this game?" No After you see the improved graphics and slightly improved mechanics in the first 30-60 minutes. It just fails.    … Expand

    I only wish, well educated and talented screenplay writers will come back to the industry one day.
    Level design is also rubbish. It is monotonous and boring locations.
    You trampled the work of concept artists.

    I did not enjoy this game at all. The graphics are great. The gameplay is fine. And the story is a disgrace. Neil forgot what made the last of us so special. The characters.

    Hands down probably the best, most impactful game I‘ve ever played, only the first part is in the competition. It has been two weeks and I still sonetimes can‘t sleep because i think about this marvellous story. I‘m very grateful that I made this experience and I will most likely never forget it.

There were parts that felt a little long and I just wanted to get to the next plot point, but looking back I do appreciate the frustration you feel with all the roadblocks that get in the way because it makes me feel the desperation of the characters even more. The whole experience and story reminded me of the feelings and emotions I felt in the vengeance trilogy by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook. But just like those movies the dark story in The Last Of Us Part 2 isn't for everyone. This will be a game that will stick with me for a long time and I would definitely recommend it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets get the obvious part out of the way. Visual, sound and acting ... all top tier so there really isn't anything people can complain about in terms of these 3.

    Gameplay wasn't the highlight of the first game either. It is a very basic action and stealth gameplay, with light survival elements. Since this basically the same passable bare-bones gameplay loop with slight tweaks, that adds little to none to the experience and is there to fill out the actual gameplay sequences between cutscenes.

    Now the bread and butter of the first game was its story. The actual setting wasn't anything new. But the thing is that the setting itself played secondary role to the actual characters. It just served the purpose if instigating events that would lead to Joel and Ellie meeting.
    From there on, the actual story of a dead world, and the possibility of a cure was way overshadowed by the simple but effective dynamic between the two.
    Joel could be the father he never got the chance to be, and Ellie finally felt like someone cared for her.
    It was simple, but the small bits of bliss in an otherwise dark world kept people stuck to their screens.

    The Last of Us Part II has almost none of that. It has 2 very short flashback sequences where the charm of the original game got to shine trough, but that's all.
    The Last of Us Part 2 basically boils down to one major shock factor, that is showed in fairly early into the game, and the rest is a bore-fest of following the uninteresting new character, or the bleak revenge story that leads absolutely nowhere.

    It has been said before when the first game was released, and sequel emphasizes this, but the first game was a wholesome story and experience, with a proper ending.    … Expand

    TLOU part 2 is a masterpiece. it will hit you with emotions if you let the story take you on this roller coaster, it has a unique and brutal story line you won't see a lot in games or even other mediums the story does not care about your desires and thoughts so you have to let it take you on this ride, which makes this game so divisive but nonetheless this is a piece of art

    It's great - graphics, sound, character models, acting, gameplay. All great. And despite many suggesting otherwise, it's story, tone and characterisation are also great. A different but very "Last of Us" tale, with a similarly, multifaceted message at the end. If this was 'just a revenge story' then The Last of Us was just about helping your friend (clue - it wasn't).

    My main criticism of the game is that it is a tad too long and could do with a couple of lighter moments to break the bleakness. Not sure if the significant graphical improvements and subtle but welcome gameplay tweaks quite make up that shortfall when comparing it to the first game, but otherwise this is a great sequel that only loses out to its predecessor slightly and only because it hasn't got that novelty value. I mean we were expecting something mind blowing and lightning in a bottle is very difficult to capture twice. They came close though.

    It is very similar to Part one - bigger sure, better? maybe, maybe not.

    For those that enjoyed the first one, if you understood why it ended in the way it is did - not just the "saved Ellie cuz I like Ellie" bit, you are highly likely to love this game. If you are the sort of person that freaks out when you realise sometimes things happen that are bad and there is nothing you can do about that, then consider staying away and just continue to enjoy the first one.

    What is funny is that the story (which is essentially about bad things happening and learning to put things behind you so you can move on) has flown over the heads of a lot of the previous game’s fans in the most spectacular fashion.

    I know, right? a game about growing up, being review bombed by people that mostly haven't grown up!?

    Who'd have thought...

    P.S. Partly came here to check the rumours about MC blocking negative reviews (lol). This is my third attempt posting a positive review, so it’s likely just the massive volume of activity on this page (compare it to any other big game, its crazy!). Still at least it gives the nutters something else to get upset about!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part 2 really shows how weak and boring the ganeplay is once you strip away the fantastic story and characters of the first game. Part 2 is so focused on setting up shock value to try to make the player as angry and traumatized as Ellie by Joel's death that it forgets hoe to tell a story. Joel has to act out of character in order for him to be vulnerable in the first place while stacking up Coincidences one after another. They game does have an investing idwmea here and there such as making the player play as the antagonist for roughly half the game and has you fight against the protagonist while doing so. However the game fails to get the big payoff for this due to its shallow emotional set ups. Im sorry, but having npc bad guys call out a completely random person's, or dog's, name when they die is pointless at best and comical at worst. Speaking of comedy, there is an entire section of the game where a full blown pregnant woman is running around a battlefield simply because she can't be told what she can and can't do is moronic to the point I was crying with laughter. That dame character then passes moral judgements on everyone while the game clearly wants me to care and reflect on how selfish Abby is but all I can think about is "that baby dead".

    The gameplay is Mediocre at best.
    The story is laughable/frustratingly bad.
    The main cast of characters have been ruined by poor out of chatacer choices.
    The supporting cast is weak and uninteresting at best and laughable at their worst.
    Acting/voice acting is the best videogames has to offer.
    Sound design is great.
    Graphics are truly unbelievable and right up there with God of War and Final Fantasy 7 Remake as the best the ps4 has to offer.

    The question becomes how much do graphics, sound design, and acting mean in a game with such a heavy focus on Story and and Chacter? For me, the answer is about 4 points out of 10 because what is the point of these things if the reason I am playing the game in the first place is story and character? This game is a beautiful house built on sand.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A true masterpiece. I'll focus on the narrative aspect for this review, because I think few would dispute a 10/10 rating on the graphics/sound side of things. I also think the gameplay is greatly improved over the first game and largely deserving of a 10/10 rating. Anyway, onto the real point of contention, the narrative:

    I truly think this game will have a lasting impact on the videogame industry and we'll still be talking about it a decade from now. I think similarly to the first it transcends the medium and changes the expectation for video game narrative.

    Essentially it can be boiled down to this question: does a video game need to provide a sense of accomplishment and validation of your actions, or can it force you to do things you don't want to do?

    I see it a lot like Spec Ops: The Line, which flipped the narrative by framing your gameplay as horrific, but mostly tormenting you for actions to which you couldn't see the consequences beforehand. Basically the game was asking you to think about your actions, but only after you recklessly performed them. There's a little of Shadow of The Colossus too, which slowly made you realize you were the antagonist, you were the one tormenting the colosses

    In both these games the gameplay is still "fun" and you are a willing participant in these actions, they are just painted as cruel narratively, often *after* you've performed them.

    TLOU2 takes it a step further by forcing you to perform actions you do not want to perform. It creates your antagonist then forces you to play as her. It forces you to try to kill Ellie, the person you love, the person you are rooting for. It forces you to play as both the hero and villain to *both* stories. It's heartbreaking and difficult, and often it's not... fun. And that's why I think it transcends the medium and takes it to new grounds, in a continuation to what TLOU1 did for AAA storytelling.

    It's a breakthrough and a masterpiece, and I can't wait to see how it impacts the industry and what Naughty Dog comes up with next    … Expand

    for example imagine the first game as an avengers movie and this one being there will be blood. both are excellent however to make that transition from one to the other with the same characters is for the few not for the many.
    I think naughty dog would knew the reception it would get and I am glad they stuck by it. If you are reading this and going to play it for the first time, one big recommendation- go in with a fresh mind, persevere and by the end you I hope you will see the light at the end of tunnel just like I did.

    DONT BELIEVE THE NEGATIVITY!!!

    This game is an excellent continuation of TLOU. The story seems shallow at first glance until you realize that the collectibles in game have been given a much more important role than previously. Instead of having the story spoon fed to you in cut scenes, it rewards careful and deliberate exploration with meaningful interactions, dialogue, and even Ellie's internal monologue in the form of journal entries. The story has a lot of interesting parallels to the first game that get more fascinating the longer you dwell on them.

    Gameplay is strictly better than the first, better weapon variety, better craftables, more interesting skill trees, more believable AI. Melee fighting actually takes effort now instead of button mashing square.

The story is very good and in some points it made me angry or sad or happy. I felt a lot trough this game and that is a good. I don’t even need to say something about the graphics and the gameplay is also very decent. And I love Ellie as a character and how she act or feel trough the story. There are a lots of hearthbreaking moments for example with Joel. But when it comes to Abby it is a little bit hard to like her in the beginning because she killed Joel but at the end I felt sad for her and could understand her. And Joel is also a very good character. He is not good or bad he just did the right thing for him in saving Ellie. I think he didn‘t deserve the way he died but I can understand why he died like that. All in all a very good game!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was a big fan of the first Last of Us, but developer Naughty Dog made some drastic decisions in the story telling elements that, in my opinion, hurt this game. I actually liked the story in Part 2 and where it went, but to me it felt as if I had skipped a game or something. It felt like i was playing Last of Us Part 3, while getting to play flashbacks of the events of what should have been Last of Us Part 2 (Ellie and Joel/Abby's flash backs). Naughty Dog started the game off perfectly by throwing us into the events directly after Joel and Ellie escape the hospital and find a new life in Jackson, but it all gets jumbled by skipping 4 years into the future and attempting to piece together the events that brought us to where we are in this game.

    In Part 2 within the first 2 hours we see the main character from the first game, Joel, die at the hands of a new character Abby and her "friends" (WLF). This initially was shocking since i managed to not get it spoiled for me, but it became a recurring theme throughout the whole game that got dry and made me detached from the new characters. In this game we play as Ellie, which i was fine with, but the developers made the mistake of allowing the players to watch all of Abby's "friends" die at the hands of Ellie BEFORE the players got to form an understanding of who they are, which ultimately made playing Abby's portion of the story a bit unnecessary since her WLF "friends" seem to serve no other purpose than to die, giving Abby an excuse to wanna kill Ellie. From a players perspective i got extremely bored of the game telling me that this person killed that person so now the character we play as has to go kill the person who killed the person they liked.

    I get the point the Devs where trying to tell here: There are two sides to every story. However, trying to explain Abby's perspective felt jumbled as well. It turns out her dad was the guy who could have made the cure and was going to operate on Ellie, but was killed by Joel when he took Ellie away from the hospital. I feel the Devs did a good job explaining why Abby hated Joel and why she killed him, but I feel it would have been better to just go at it chronologically and not introduce her by painting her in negative way. I feel they should have allowed the players to get attached to her by playing the events leading up to her killing Joel instead of justifying it in flashbacks.

    Also something that bothered me was NO CHARACTERS DIE TO INFECTED OR BECOME INFECTED. Like what a huge story point to just not even use. In the original game we see Henry and Sam and the complexities of suffering (Henry kills himself) due to the loss of his brother by Infection. In Part 2 there was some random enemy towards the end of the game that gets bitten by a Clicker as a way for Ellie to escape, but thats it folks. Everyone in this game either dies from a bullet or from being stabbed/hit, which after Joel's death, via a golf club, began to feel repetitive, and made me numb whenever i saw another character die in a similar manner. They didn't matter and i shouldn't get attached to them since they serve less purpose than a 3-D rendered set piece that doesn't do much to connect with the payer or drive the story further.

    Not everything in this game was all bad. The gameplay is relatively the same, but with some quality of life changes. The player can now use grass to hide from enemies kinda like in assassins creed. Characters can now go prone on top of crouching. New attachments to weapons such as silencers and explosive arrows allow for some really satisfying ways for players to approach each new situation. Graphically this game feels next gen. Something as simple as walking and tracing back your footsteps in the snow really impressed me, but there are some frame rate issued to be had when in grass green areas kinda like breath of the wild had in the forest sections, but its doesn't take away from how gorgeous this game looks. The sound track is ridiculously good and the sound design is better than ever. Simple things like character voices getting harder to hear when in different rooms or listening to clickers nasty noises when sneaking past them sound top notch especially with headphones. I really enjoyed the guitar controls too

    Also there were two new characters, Lev and Yara, that felt very well written and interesting for the player to engage with. They are Scars/Seraphites, which are essentially religious cultists. Lev is a Trans male who wants to continue his religious practices, but is critical of it when she felt like a he. No judgment there, but it lead to some interesting story elements about attachment and discovery. Most of the other new characters didn't really stand out as well as these 2 did.

    When people talk about the first game they mention how good the story was. In part 2, I felt the story jumped around too much and characters died too often in similar ways, which left me overall disappointed 6/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When the Last of us part II release and the reviews reached one hundred thousand distribution score on Metacritic which contain a lot of negative comment mostly by people somewhat frustrated with the developer (Which I’ve read include death threats to the director and some of the actors) I immediately bought the game to see what the fuzz is all about.

    It turns out to be the best game I’ve played in any console ever and let me tell you the reasons why:

    Gameplay is better than the first one, it enhanced slightly to be more enjoyable and challenging at the same time. More fun and thrilling than the uncharted series I must say.

    Now the story was the one that make the internet fumes with anger and I understand that people would hate the story (I’m not going to judge for the ones that hate it). It deals with the theme of loss, revenge and anger, a very brutal and dark game and I think it’s very well fitted with the last of us story.

    The developer take a huge risk on this game to challenge players for not using the media subjectively. Killing of your beloved characters, make you play as the antagonist while hunting down the main character and more importantly the ending is the example of the risk that they took to challenge how the players feel. by the end of the game I don’t know how my feelings were about it until I took the time to write this review. I understand now why is very much debated and why it got tons of the reviews in the online community, that is how polarizing this game really are.

    Don’t get it wrong, this game is not perfect, it has some flawed. It’s not the game that many people want nor expected and yet it contains scenes that were unforgettable for most players in years to come. Hopefully many studios would still be bold to make something different after the back clash and death threats in recent times. I’m not saying it’s a perfect masterpiece but it deserves for me to be considered as a flawed masterpiece.    … Expand

However, I couldn't help but feel so miserable playing through this story as I felt forced to feel a certain way about characters as the writers wanted. An example of this is the section with the dog that the player is forced to kill, then forced to fall in love with this dog and feel guilty for something I did not want to play through. I continued to play, hoping there would be a bone thrown for me having to endure this tragic tale but nothing of that sort ever happened.

    You only do what YOU think is right in order to survive, even if it's wrong. But everything you do has a consequence.
    What if there was something deeper underneeth the story?
    Everything is not all Black or White. Always check the two sides of a coin to evaluate the situation. What would you do in these or that position? THIS IS LIFE...
    Sure it can be cruel sometimes but it is what it is. You can be sad for sure, but just take the time to understand or at least trying.
    This game give you tons of emotions and i can't say i was impassive trough the events. I felt, joy, saddness, fear, anger, compation, all of this...

    For all the haters out there, please, grow up. This is not a teddy bear and candy world. And also, just because a story doesn't fit your vision doesn't mean that it was bad.

    Anyway, i had much pleasure playing The Last Of Us Part 2.
    The graphics are great and pushing the PS4 to the limits at the end of her life.
    The acting is awesome, nothing more to say about it.
    Music is a bit less present but the tone is more dark and i think this is the reason.
    Gameplay is basically TLOU 1 with better gestion and mastery.
    Only a few characters are less attractive because they are less developed.

    The people who hate this game for a certain ‚agenda‘ are what’s wrong with the gaming community, or even what’s wrong with the world. Besides being a masterpiece from a technical point of view, this game is what the world needs in 2020 contentwise as well. This game is not pushing any agendas, it just comes closer to the diverse reality we live in than any other game before.

    The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I ever played.

    Besides the very sophisticated, controversy story, it features the best graphics I ever saw on any console, a superb sound backdrop as well as tough strategical horror gameplay that will definitely keep you on the sofa's edge with a quickened pulse! But now to the most important part: the game's very courageous storyline.    The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I ever played.

    But now to the most important part: the game's very courageous storyline. It's an absolute roller-coaster of feelings. Nope, it won't go the old-fashioned "good versus evil" way with tough guys and weak women, it's a very modern story, even with same-sex feelings. If you're "too tough" for standing that, just leave it; it'll just make you angry. But if you're open-minded, the game will make you laugh, love, hate and everything in between.

    Also, and that's why it's modern and very brave for an expensive triple-A title, it sheds light to "the bad side" too, by switching perpectives. Like many outstanding movies that make you ponder (21 Grams, L.A. Crash, BABEL, The Thin Red Line, ...), the game shows that your enemies have their own issues, reasonable motives and feelings, too. Just like enemies (=people) in real-life would.

    Usually, this is not a topic for games as its easier to write a one-sided story and simpler to digest for the consuments. But it also won't make you THINK about it. Now we have some **** storms and (stupid) petitions, so ND did something right. ;) PS: TLOU2 is also not a game for children, it is VERY (because realistically) brutal and contains some sex scenes, too. Just saying. If you own a PS4, PLAY THIS GAME!    … Expand

    Originally, like most, I finished the game with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, but i played a 2nd time with an open mind and was actually amazed with how brilliant the story actually is.

Treat the main characters like they are the hero of their own story, look at how amazingly the game and writers compare the two main characters to show how similar they actually are as they both go through their own separate struggles over the course of the game and how they process and overcome their individual demons. You have to look closely, the game doesn't just lay out these gems for you like most media platforms like movies or TV, you have to dig deep to appreciate the layers this game has. This is absolutely a masterclass in complex storytelling. Bravo to all involved at Naughty Dog!!… Expand

    Es un juego que, para gustarte, hay muchas condiciones. Principalmente no spoilearte o estar abierto a lo que el juego quiere mostrarte y poder sentirlo. En mi caso personal, me sucedió y debo decir que fue hermoso.
    Hablando de la historia, fue un camino de emociones. Pase de llorar, a incomodarme, a ponerme feliz, alegrarme, sentir odio, querer venganza, etc. Puedo decir que peca en alargarse un poco, pero su intención al fin y al cabo es la que a muchos no les afecto y a otros si (SPOILER: ///e.m.p.a.t.í.a.///).
    El juego se complica en ese sentido únicamente.

    Banda sonora: Muchos dicen que no la sintieron, pero creo que es cuestión de que el tiempo pase y cada vez te va gustando mas. En mi caso, tengo 4 o 5 canciones en Spotify 10/10 Santaolalla

    Jugabilidad: Adictiva, envolvente, real y muy divertida. 10/10

    Graficos: Hermoso. La ambientación es muy buena, y eso que es solo un apartado ya que todo lo demas hace conjunto del ambiente que te genera el juego. Lo mejor para la PS4, un cierre a la generación 10/10.

    Desarrollo de personajes: Resumen sin spoilers seria decir que personajes como Ellie que es la protagonista pudo desarrollarse muy bien, y se logra ver fácilmente un cambio muy natural y comprensible. Aun mas si se logra entender a través de saber lo que se siente.

    S P O I L E R S Ellie, despues del final del 1, en los flashbacks, es la misma chica. Luego, cuando ocurre que se entera de la verdad, surgue un gran cambio entre la relación de Joel y ella misma. Ese quiebre desencadena su dolor a la perdida de Joel y a la vez es lo que le molesto tanto... el no poder perdonarlo y que su ultima charla fuera tan mala. En mi cuestión personal, se perfectamente que es perder a un pariente como un padre o madre. Se lo que es no perdonarte por cosas que vistas desde afuera son comprensibles, pero ese odio tuyo y a lo sucedido es muy grande. En fin, Ellie pasa de la niña optimista y alegre a ser alguien que se obsesiono por su sed de venganza y a la vez por poder perdonarse. Cuando está por matar a Abby, logra darse cuenta y siente que eso no solucionara nada y que solo traerá mas tristeza a todos (Ya me imagino a Lev vengandose). Ellie paso de esa niña a esa loca desesperada por venganza que destruye a todos a su paso. Esta vez no mata por supervivencia, sino por odio. Ese odio es lo que la cambia por completo y la deja sola. El final te deja en claro que empieza desde cero, y me parece tristemente hermoso.
    En cuanto a los otros personajes, Joel estaba completo como persona. Aspectos que dicen que fue forszada su muerte por confiar en los demás, me parece completamente comprensible. A punto de una desición muy dificil la cual llevaria en un instante a otro a Jackson en una oleada y su muerte junto a la de Tommy. Aparte, hay que fijarse en como Joel paso de lo que fue en el TLOU hasta ahora. Un hombre completamente cambiado. Se volvio amable, sabio, divertido y bondadoso. Eso fue a causa de que él vivío en Jackson en paz durante 4 o 5 años. Volvio a lo que era estar tranquilos en un poblado.

    SIN SPOILERS
    En conclusión, puedo decir que es un juego que no les puede gustar a todos si no llegar a sentir lo que te quieren transmitir. Hay que ir con la cabeza en blanco. Es algo muy complicado de lograr, ya que es arriesgado y lo logra con algunas personas. Es un juego que es muy complicado no spoilearse, lamentablemente. Lo recomiendo completamente. Mas allá de la historia, en todos sus demás apartados es muy divertido y hermoso.    … Expand

    I have just finished the game and from my point of view it has been a very disappointing experience and I really don't care about a next game.

Focusing on secondary pointles, bland characters ( Lev and Yara for example ) just to make a point, instead of telling a good story. Also the relation between Diana and Ellie, which is central to the game, seems artificial, it is just there, with no explanation why do they like each other then they just do, there is no development, the 2 characters have no chemistry at all. As a story driven game it fails and it is sad. I won't even talk about Joel, it is ok to do what you want with a character but it could have been done in a better and more respectful way, it was just cheap shock and lazy writting (best example to compare with is SWTLJ) Unfortunatelly this game has entered the club of soulless entertainment media like the new Star Wars Trilogy, Marvel Movies, Season 8 of GOT, HBO Watchmen etc. What can I say it is just a game, even if we are disappointed there is no reason to linger, we should enjoy life more and be more careful when listening when someone tells us what to like or to buy.

    My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
    I waited 5 years to play this
    And they gave me a horrible intro and **** ending
    I just want to forget about this game.

    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]
