“Well... that didn’t suck”

The game is very immersive. Your GPU works so hard rendering individual raindrops that you can feel the humidity rising in your room. By hour two, your PC is covered in condensation, and by hour five, mushrooms start growing on your keyboard. For the whole experience, keep a brick on your desk and throw it at your monitor every time your frames drop below 60.

The Last of Us Part II is a game that not only stunned the gaming community but also elevated video games to a new level in terms of storytelling, character depth, and boldness in addressing important social issues. Neil Druckmann, the creator of the game, has managed to create not just a sequel to the iconic first title, but a work that makes you reflect on life, morality, and human relationships in a harsh post-apocalyptic world.

One of the most striking and courageous aspects of The Last of Us Part II is the inclusion of LGBT characters, which at the time was an important step toward inclusivity in the gaming industry. Ellie, the main protagonist, doesn't just have a standard storyline; her relationship with a woman is openly explored. This is not just a "shock value" element, but an organic part of her character, revealing her inner world, emotions, and growth.

However, the developers' boldness doesn't stop there. The story is not just a journey of heroes, but a real moral dilemma where every choice and every action comes with a cost. The game forces players to reconsider concepts like revenge, forgiveness, justice, and self-sacrifice. In a world where everything is destroyed and every day is a fight for survival, it’s hard to determine who is right and who is wrong, and what exactly should be done.

The gameplay of The Last of Us Part II is a true masterpiece. The combat, exploration, and decision-making create an incredibly tense atmosphere, and mechanics like cover, stealth, and weapon variety fit perfectly into the overall rhythm of the game. The surrounding world is meticulously crafted, making each new location feel alive and unique. The music and sound design further immerse players into the game’s atmosphere, making every event feel more emotionally intense.

Neil Druckmann and his team have once again shown that video games can be more than just entertainment — they can be a powerful tool for conveying complex, multi-layered stories. The Last of Us Part II is not just a game; it’s an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll.

This masterpiece will undoubtedly be discussed and analyzed for many years to come.

Five years later, it's time to find out why players began to hate golf.

I have over 400 games on my account across 16 years, and an average of 20% completion across them all. 80 Games I've completed in that span. That equals out to around 5 games a year with an average completion time of around 2.5 months per game I've actually finished.


At the time I'm posting this, I bought this game two days ago at approximately 7 pm. I have been incapable of putting it down.

The story is phenomenal.
The game play is phenomenal.
The character design and pacing is phenomenal.
The mechanics are phenomenal.
The graphics are phenomenal.

I haven't felt this way over a video game in years. It was enjoyable from start to finish, and even on the standard difficulty still provided ample challenge for my geriatric middle aged ass. It's rare that I come across a title that I'd be willing to play through multiple times but I think I found the latest addition.

If any of you are even remotely considering buying this title, take it from somebody who's never once felt the need to write a review for ANY game before and go on this adventure.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

One of the most visually beautiful and engaging games I have every played.
so glad i didn't spoil it for 5 years before it came out on steam 10/10

Spoiler Warning:

This is the biggest Nightmare. You will lose Everything for Nothing & you cant stop it because you have no Choice.

Dreams never die & Nightmares never end

MUCH better PC port than the first game.

I'll update when done. But for now, it's good.

im making this comment as someone who has finished the game before. the animation quality is like an advanced and faster version of RDR2. the facial expressions, voice acting, and atmosphere are of a quality that is very hard to find in other games. Maybe we don't all fully agree on the story, but it still manages to draw you in. there's top tier craftsmanship here. It's a favorite of mine, and i recommend everyone to play Part 1 and Part 2 at least once.

Really wish more games would take advantage of their M for mature rating and add extensive gore and blood mechanics like this game has. It adds that extra bit of violence to the combat that makes it feel so good. The way blood splatters and runs down walls and how you can blow people to bits is just lovely.
