    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An improvement compared to the TLOU1. The plot is a **** rollercoaster of emotions and it’s objectively 5x better compared to the TLOU1, I can say the same thing about the characters. I love Abby and Ellie both! If I had a choice between Abby and Ellie I would struggle for 999999 years and **** die and I would be happy about that because I don’t wanna choose one of them… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From false advertisement to poor storytelling, TLoU2 really drops the ball. Most games don't get far by lying in interviews, manipulating advertising to swap characters, adding fake dialogue, and purposely creating new models just to sell a false story that is completely different from the end product because they know the product is poor and is not what the fan base wants. TLoU2 is no exception.

    Couple that with the theme of "revenge is bad" seemingly impacting Ellie and Joel exponentially more than the characters who actually started the cycle of revenge (thus negating the entire "point" of the story and turning it into nothing but a torture... fetish) and potential threats of blackballing for poor critic reviews and you have the makings of a critic darling but a user flop.

    The poor storytelling and lack of narrative cohesiveness would have placed this low to begin with, but the false advertisement and subsequent fake shock by Naughty Dog forces me to give it the lowest score possible.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. If this was a movie, in my opinion it would be Oscar deserving. But this is not just a movie, here you are not just watching the protagonists doing good and horrible deeds, YOU are.
    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love.

    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love. Unfortunately not everyone fells good whenever a medium tries (and manages) to challenge their most deep feelings, as you can see from the number of negative review (5.7 is ridiculous). An interestingly high number of this negative reviews are partisan stances against the "politically correct storyline", I imagine because it features strong women with normal-sized breasts and diverse sexual orientations. You know, like in the real world.
    Circling back to the game, everything is outstanding: the graphics, the sound design, the level design. The acting is amazing and really drives the story (both motion capture acting scenes and the voice over). The music is great as in Part I.
    But the overall attention to details is in my opinion what keep everything together, what makes this game a work of art.

    The downside is that I'm sure it will be difficult to find another game to enjoy as much as I enjoyed The Last of Us Part II. I believe it ruined videogames for me, in some wonderful way. But I'm also sure that this game will push the boundary even further, and I can't wait for that.

    In the meantime, give yourself a favour: play The Last of Us and then The Last of Us Part II. If during the game your feeling will hurt it means that it's working, and that you do have feelings: it's good to exercise them, it helps you to grow into a more complete version of yourself.    … Expand

    I heard that the fans of the series scolded the game a lot, they say it did not live up to their expectations. But I didn’t pin any hopes on the game, as a result of which I was not just undecided, but amazed. This is the most technically advanced game I've played so far.

    Drawn out, creatively lazy and a huge middlefinger to the fans. Game is pretty but full of plotholes and contradictions. Easily the worst sequel to a great game. No real story/character development to speak of. Don't let the bought reviews fool you. Nobody liked this and and its naughty dogs only misstep. Avoid at all costs!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positives:
    - Improved though not wildly altered game mechanics. The fighting is more exciting and there's a few new things you can do, ie crawl, but it has the same basics.
    - Enemy NPCS move and converse realistically.
    - Great graphics.
    - Amazing voice acting.
    - Good soundtrack. Gustavo Santaolalla doesn't disappoint even if all else does.

    Negatives:
    - The game is contradictory, and it goes against everything that the first part established. Joel and Ellie have faced far worse than getting jumped by a group of no more than 6 strangers. Joel single-handedly took out a whole hospital-worth of armed soldiers before. You cannot convince me that this is what it'd take to kill him.
    - Ellie and Joel seem horribly out of character. Once again, after everything that they went through, it seems hard to believe that Joel would be so easily trusting of strangers and let himself get killed without a fight, and that Ellie would be impulsive enough to barge into a room and get immediately apprehended.
    - It's hard to feel sympathetic for Abby for 2 main reasons. For starters, her dad wasn't a good man. He wanted to kill a 14 year old girl - one of the protagonists, mind you, who the audience is supposed to care about and root for - in hopes of developing a vaccine without so much as consulting her first. Marlene points out the fact that he's selfish and wouldn't be so quick to agree to this if he had to kill Abby instead, and she's right. He also gets very little screen time and no development, and so the player doesn't care about him dying. If anything, we're glad that Joel killed him and saved Ellie.
    - Abby is completely unbearable at the beginning of the game. Perhaps she would be more understandable if she killed Joel in a less gruesome way, but she doesn't. Abby knows better than anybody else what it's like to lose your dad. And so for her to beat Joel to death right in front of his daughter and subject her to the same, if not worse because at least Abby didn't have to watch her dad die like Ellie did, trauma seems ridiculous and senseless to me. Playable characters aren't supposed to be perfect, but they are at the very least supposed to be likable in one way or another despite their flaws. We are supposed to feel for Abby and come to understand her, but this is difficult to do because she's so shallow.
    - Death is constantly used for shock value. In a poor attempt to subvert expectations and catch the player off guard, NaughtyDog horribly overuses this trope. The game is a lot more gruesome than the first one, which shouldn't necessarily be bad, but here it's just unnecessary. What made the first game successful is the even divide between heart-warming and heart-wrenching scenes. But with so much hurt and pain constantly taking place, it just gets boring and repetitive. The angst loses it's significance because the player gets so used to seeing it. We half expect something to go wrong every time there's an animated sequence because we've seen it countless times already. Personally, I felt nothing when Jesse and Yara died because I saw it coming from a mile away. I was honestly more surprised to see that Lev survived.
    - The representation for POC and LGBT people is very poor. NaughtyDog does not understand that implementing these characters only to villainise, torture, or kill them (sometimes all 3, and oftentimes purely for the sake of advancing another white character's story arc) does not make them "woke". Yes it's the apocalypse, yes people die - but why do literally none of the black characters survive? The first game is also guilty of this, but here it's especially bad. Why does only 1 out of the 3 Asian leads live? And to have Ellie and Isaac, a lesbian and a black man respectively, be so violent only plays into the stereotype that all lesbians and all black people are aggressive.
    - The trailers painted a completely different story for the game by purposely changing the character models and tinkering with the scenes. I know that trailers are supposed to avoid spoilers, but this was just straight up bait.
    - The ending was unfulfilling. Good stories often leave the audience with a big question in order to A) let them interpret what happens next themselves or B) leave room for the developers to make another game or a DLC in the future. The first game did this perfectly by having Joel lie to Ellie about what really happened with the Fireflies, but too many things are left unexplained here. Where did Dina and JJ go? What about Tommy? What did Ellie do next? Did Abby and Lev ever find the Fireflies? Who were the guys that kidnapped them? It's infuriating.

    I'd have more to say if it weren't for the word limit. I gave part 2 the benefit of the doubt because I loved the first game despite it's flaws. But after an exhausting 30+ hours, I can only say that I'm left disappointed. After 7 years, NaughtyDog's delivered us a game that is contradictory, repetitive, bland, and down-right insulting    … Expand

    A masterpiece, but nap can deny that it is a feminist game. The most striking characters are women and there are hardly any male characters in the game. It's not really a weak point. I almost dropped the game on the part of playing with abby but I believe this discomfort was thought of as part of the work.

The music in these games are as incredible as always. The story is not as good as the previous game but still is a great story with the message being FORGIVENESS! Not this revenge = bad **** that people are throwing around the place, if you really think that is the only reason the game is bad or the game is bad because of certain spoilers... then I don't know what to say to you anymore... I think Ellie and Abby's side of the story is great bringing humanization to Abby, and "justice" for Ellie. I think the best part of the game is probably the ending, it just says so much, and i had such a blast playing this game. overall this game gets a 9/10

    Edit: Coming back to this game now that I've platinumed it, I think that it is even better than when I originally played it! The Combat is fun and **** brutal enough to make you think you are in a life or death gun fight. The Story is really well written and executed, and you could make the excuse that the pacing is what makes this game bad, but the pacing and plot of this game is supposed to be messy. It is a revenge narrative coming from two sides of the same coin, of course the plot is gonna be all over the place that's the whole point! The Music in this game is BEYOND PERFECTION. There is music for the combat which makes you even more intense, and music for the emotional story-beats which on its own tells a whole story by itself. The Characters are extremely well written and I think that it's genius! The AI is also so **** advanced, I think this is the best AI I've had in a game. The Companions are genuinely helpful when you're in fights, the enemy AI is really advanced and fun! The zombie AI is a bit dumb but again zombies are dumb so y'know. Overall playing this game more and more just makes me love it so much more! In my opinion, this is the closest video-games will get to perfection! I'm excited to see what else Naughty Dog releases next, and I'm giving this game my first ever 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm still kind of not sure about how I feel about this game. Like on one hand it has absolutely phenomenal gameplay and combat. But the story really was a downgrade from the first game. I honestly don't even know how they came up with the story for this. I mean the main character is literally killed off within the first 2 hours of the game. And we're then forced to play as his killer named Abby. Then the game tries to make us feel bad for Abby because Joel apparently killed her dad (which was a useless npc that had no relevance to the story) in the last game. I have absolutley no idea why they chose to give some useless npc a whole backstory. Abby killed I don't know how many people in this game. So in the last of us 3 is some random npc going to kill lev? And then will we spend the whole game trying to go kill them? I mean the whole plot of this game is getting revenge. But then when Ellie finally has the chance to get her revenge, she decides it not worth it. Why did she decide that it wasn't worth it then? Why did it take her so long? I mean Ellie literally killed all of Abby's friends to get to her. She basically killed everyone that Abby loved. And then when she finally has her hands around her neck she decides that it isn't worth it? I mean ellie killed i don't know how many people to get to her. She even kills DOGS and a PREGNANT WOMAN. To just eventually decide that it isn't worth it. Then the pacing of the game is just horrible. One second your at your "base" with Tommy and Jessie. And then the next second Jessie is getting his face blown off by Abby. I guess in the next game we'll play as Nora's little sister to go kill Ellie. Its just so not thought out. There's hundreds of npcs that we kill throughout this game. Where's their backstory? Do they have friends that's gonna come seek revenge on Ellie now? Then the section where they force you to play as Abby is entirely too long. I guess they tried to make us care about her and see things from her point of view but it just doesn't work in my opinion. Lev and his siblings backstory was pretty alright I guess. I just wish I didn't have to spend 1712833 hours playing through it. To be honest, in the next game if we're forced to play as Abby and Lev I probably wont buy the game. Sorry but I really just don't care about them at all to be honest. You cant just kill the main character that everybody loves WITHIN THE FIRST 2 HOURS. And then expect us to feel sorry for them. I also didn't like how impulsive ellie acted as well. Like when that man was being homophobic to Dina. Why did Ellie get mad at Joel for STANDING UP FOR HER. The only enjoyable part of this game was when Ellie had flashbacks about going on adventures with Joel. Overall I'm very displeased with this game and the story. But hey at least we got good GAMEPLAY and COMBAT. Don't know if ill buy the next last of us.… Expand

The other parts of this game are the gameplay and amazing graphics which are industry leading so there is nothing to say other than it is the best the industry has to give but some people might think the games limited weapons make it seem repetitive but with new enemy types and weapon modifications and progressive weapon gaining it is far from it. 10/10 this games user score got bombed by people who never played the game and thought "everyone is giving it a 0 so why not"… Expand

It is a lesson in empathy done in perhaps the most gruesome and hurtful way possible, because if it wasn't then it wouldn't hit you as hard as it should.

    There are still glimpses of actual happiness full of charming dialogue, but I do seriously suggest you skip this if you're not in the best place in life.

    This game was a masterpiece. Just because it didn't narratively go in the direction you wanted will not change that fact. I went into it having adored the previous installation, but maintaining an open mind. I was not disappointed by the pacing, depth, and use of the characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never have i played a game that is so spiteful and bland. the last of us never really stood out because of its gameplay and mechanics- it was the story and characters that made it compelling.

    And here we are, with an unnecessary sequel that not only humiliates and kills Joel (which could be a strong plot point), but they also chose to execute it so miserably.

    But wait! we can play as Abby!, isn't that great? a girl with a body that doesn't match her face and voice (or gender). i guess there's a great gym and plenty of food supplements in a in a post apocalyptic world. Oh, almost forgot, it's the daughter of an NPC, and she killed Joel with a golf club. Once again an agenda trumps storytelling and care for characters.

    "it feels great!"

    The combat feels so good and satisfying, Graphics look great but at the expense of blurring. The story DOES NOT make any sense and the quality is way lower than what was the first part.

    The new enemy type SCARS were a challenge every time you encountered them in a good way. Enemy would actively spread out and try to flank you. You need to be really strategic to take down a group of them, or be very good at nailing your headshots.

    I think the infected are probably the worst bit of this game. Clickers can seem to get alerted to your presence even if you are stationary which I found frustrating at times. An they introduced a few boss infected along the journey too, which were basically just bullet sponges that you just throw everything you have at them then run away. Repeat until boss dead.

    In summary, better game play & graphics than the 1st game. I think the story is better overall in part 2, but the story was told better in part 1.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I ask myself:
    But who has set up TLoU part 2, has ever played the first? I don't say in writing, I wonder, did Druckmann start from the TLoU script or from the 2013 TLoU final game? Because I have the impression that Druckmann did not play it
    the game of 2013, let alone Part 2.
    As a videogame player I feel fooled.
    The game is written with such superficial content and pretexts that I wondered throughout the game: Ok but when does the plot start to mesh?
    When does this stupid paradoxical comedy end?
    Did Druckmann take into account that the players think while they play and know after 2 hours that he is throwing on the fire badly explained and intentionally incomplete events to keep this clown standing up?
    The player knows very well what Joel rightly leads to making the final choice, and he knows equally well that Druckmann omits in all this initial reconstruction the Terrorist behavior of the fireflies towards Joel.
    They created Part 2 of a very different story, where Marlene (Ellie's adopted mother) totally comes from the girl.
    The player realizes that the whole part played with Abby is exposed to make her put on the same level as Ellie, but at the same time the player sees the events that are totally exposed in the opposite way, Abby always kills in cold blood, would kill everyone at the Cabin and even at the theater, only Owen and Lev prevent her from doing so.
    Ellie instead always tries to get to Abby looking for information, but the enemies always react by attacking her instead of indulging her.
    Anyone realizes that this way of writing is not inspired at all, but is simply ridiculous.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay mechanics are absolute top notch. Feels crisp and real.

    Environments are some of, if not the best visually seen on the PS4. Anything less than a 10 in the area is unacceptable in Naughty Dogs eyes. Story is the most divided between fans of the first game. The first game is my favourite of all time. I understand why many don’t like the choices ND made in this game. But that doesn’t make it not good. Obviously none of us want Joel to die. But we get great moments during flashbacks that continue to flesh out Joel and Ellie as real people and their relationship.

    People complain saying Ellie was out for too much hate, well guess what I wanted to go and kill Abby and her friends for what happened to Joel so why wouldn’t Ellie?

    Change of perspective. Many people hate Abby simply for the act of killing Joel and I get that, but you have to ride out the storm here. Playing as Abby gives some of the best parts TLOU2 has to offer. Can’t say that ND didn’t go bold here as they always do. Love or hate Abby finally getting to play and feel the antagonist side of the story is fresh in games. I will say that once the switch happens I did feel I was away from Ellie a little too long. Summary. The is a visual and technically masterfully crafted game. Love or hate the story this tale grips from all sides. The Last of Us held nothing back. The Last of Us 2 takes it way further. Joel dies because guess what he was a bad guy just like the rest of the world. That’s not a reason to make review this game 1.

    A hauntingly impactful composition of emotionally intelligent story-writing, atmospherics, and visuals paired with highly engaging gameplay. A true masterpiece.

    Most moving and gripping story I've experienced in a game. It's not perfect, but it's better than any story in any other game I've played. If the people rating this game 0/10 for its story were that nitpicky about every other game, they'd give everything a 0.

    Graphics are the best I've seen (although i haven't played Red Dead 2 yet), gameplay is solid if a little repetitive over such a    Most moving and gripping story I've experienced in a game.

    Can't stop thinking about this game. Much more emotionally deep than the first game. Hard to come to terms with, definitely makes you mad, but give it a chance and you'll be amazed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This title was trully beautiful for me, never in my life I've felt so many emotions and cuestioned my feelings by a videogame's story and events. Most of the experiences i got like everyone else where sad/depressing/angering but this is when it shines the brightest in a world of like 95% happy endings, the freshness of its crudeness, the audacity for not being afraid to dissapoint millions so it can show its world hasn't change in the sligtest, and its the same hellhole as the first one. Joel was my favorite character like most of the people i know and still is, but the events on the character where for my taste a perfect driving point to set the story in motion, and gived the weight on all those flashbacks and motivations to the protagonist. The things people say to give it a awful scores so far are only based on ridiculous tantrums for the sake of things being the way they want, and how the game hurt their feelings and made them fell guilty and sad. Gender, Politics, etc. If All those things play an important role to what you expect from a game, please don't t play games like this, stick to games like Kirby or Pokemon so you dont get emotionally wounded,, amd keep your feelings Ok :)… Expand

    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]
