The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece that evolves the gameplay, cinematic storytelling, and rich world design of the original in nearly every way.

The Last of Us Part II is messy, bleak, and brutal.

Can a slick, mainstream action game really reckon with the violence that drives it? The answer is yes - messily, but powerfully.

Naughty Dog's PS4 swansong is an astonishing, absurdly ambitious epic that goes far and beyond what we could have imagined for a sequel to an all-time classic.

This intense game set in a post-disaster world poses moral questions about the motivations for violence and is brilliantly acted by its human contributors

“The Last of Us Part II” is one of the best video games I’ve ever played; I hope the cost to the developers was worth it.

Naughty Dog has taken everything to the limit to create The Last of Us 2 – the PS4, its design template, and its staff. In some respects, it’s gone too far, but the results are undeniably spectacular and this is the studio’s best game yet.
