The Last of Us Part II

Prepare for anger, fear, pain and disappointment. As clichéd as it may sound, Naughty Dog has reached a new, seemingly unreachable level of narrative design. The Last of Us Part II will hurt you in ways that no game has ever done before. This is a story you must experience. [08/2020, p.36]

The Last of Us Part II is a third person action game, a survival horror, an immersive sim, a walking Simulator, and snippets of so many others, all at the same time. Without the immensity of an open world, it masterfully emulates the sense of freedom, and without the classic features of an RPG, it has allowed us to make the characters our own. Or rather, the other way around. It is an evolution for the genre in terms of technical aspects and an exercise in maturity in terms of how it deals with its themes. Despite some sloppiness, it holds the highest of standards and sets the mold for what should be the next generation of AAA games.

The entire package is wrapped together in a gorgeous presentation that serves as Naughty Dog’s PS4 swan song. The Last of Us Part II’s harrowing tale and exploration of violence may not leave everyone happy by the time the credits roll, but it’s another stunning home run for Naughty Dog.

Naughty Dog delivers their best game yet –an exceptional game in every aspect. It is an incredibly shocking, epic, terrifying action adventure with an unforgettable story.

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 enjoyed the first TLOU, you'll definitely find something to love in The Last of Us Part II. The game greatly expands upon just about everything that made the first game popular. The second game didn't get to me emotionally like the first game did, but it definitely has some heavy moments and the shock value is rather extreme at some points.

In trying to subvert expectations, The Last of Us Part II discards the best aspects of its predecessor to provide a rote revenge tale that is ill-considered, ending on a note that makes everything — all the violence, all the loss, all the struggle — feel utterly, hopelessly pointless.

I have little to complain about this masterpiece. In a parallel universe maybe all the aaa games are of such quality. Top notch gameplay and story.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

It's a good game, but a lot of things in the story don't make sense. However the game has a "good" ending.

When they give you a choice to kill the doctor or not in the first game, (Obviously i didnt, i just took Ellie and left) then you play this game and all the sudden this woman has fake made-up revenge and kills Joel for no reason. Like your fathers alive i didnt touch him. Honey chill..... It's really just..... ****... Poor Scripture, other than that I love everything else.

Well. My 4 score only for the gameplay mechanism, graphics technology and other stuffs of developers at naughty dog except narrative and story ! Neil druckmann please read reviews of players ! you need to leave from naughty dog for save positions of the other talented developer in naughty dog. Your propoganda will not work again anymore ! so give our good past memories again with naughty dog and please just leave from there. It is the best job you could do for the studio long time ago but sadly you already ruined two franchises. Now enough and please leave there its wish of all gamers whom love to playstation.
