What do the reviews say?
The bad
There are presently only three negative reviews:
Frustrating, morally messy, and occasionally lovely, the second season…is bigger and broader than ever, exchanging heart-melting scenes grounded by Pascal and Ramsey for relentless torture and execution sequences. – Inverse
The Last of Us Season 2 is a mixed bag, full of gorgeous craftsmanship, from riveting turns from celebrity guest stars to carefully-concocted faux fungus. However, it ultimately feels a bit unsure of its own reason for being. – Decider
It’s still the best video-game adaptation on TV. Yet to pretend that The Last of Us completely transcends its original medium would be to ignore the hole at the center of the show where insight and complexity and rich supporting characters should be. – Time
The good
The Last of Us Season 2 is earning widespread praise for its bold storytelling, emotional depth, and cinematic production.
Critics are calling it one of the best video game adaptations ever, with standout performances from Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Isabela Merced.
As an adaptation, season 2 of The Last of Us improves upon its source material in every conceivable way. It is the best game adaptation ever made, and then some. – Toisto.net
The season masterfully blends intense action and horror with character-driven drama, highlighting themes of revenge, loss, and humanity.
Visually, it’s being compared to Game of Thrones at its peak, and emotionally, it’s being described as raw, gripping, and heartbreaking. Many agree it’s a powerful continuation that deepens the story while expanding its world.
Simply put, the show looks amazing. Its action sequences put most movies to shame, but even its quieter moments feel grand. It’s a stunning visual achievement on par with Game of Thrones at that series’ best. – Nerdist
