    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us II is not gonna give you what you want. This is the entire point of the game. It is supposed to make you suffer and feel uncomfortable unlike anything else can.

    Everyone wanted Joel and Ellie adventures continuing their beautifully established father-daughter-esque relationship in part I. Well no, you´re not gonna get what you want. Endure it and survive!

    Instead the games takes a very bold approach, one that I personally approve of. And there it is - personal preference. Everybody is gonna have their own opinions and thoughts about this game. So please get the full experience, play it for yourself and then decide how much you like it. For me it´s a 10. I am amazed by TLOU II and what impact it has on me long after I finished my first playthrough. I had a remarkable *unique* 30 hour experience with many mixed states of emotions. You might disagree with that, you might have hated the way the story continued and overall see it only as a 4. And that is totally fine! But don´t let anybody (including me) or any leaked scenes or reviews influence you how to feel about a game (and basically anything in life). And please don´t hate on or even personally attack people who completely stan or bash the hell out of a game, that´s disgusting and there´s just no room for that. Respect other peoples honest opinion.

    The Last Of Us II is able to portray such diverse emotions and aspects. Fear, sadness, fun, tragedy, violence, anger, redemption, forgiveness, panic (increases with difficulty level), love, friendship, nature and beautiful scenery, I could go on... The visuals and character performances are absolutely stunning and create a real life atmosphere feeling. The soundtrack is very well used in the right spots to strengthen these effects.

    I´m not gonna dive very deep into the story itself, I just wanna mention a few things about Abby. I hated having to play with her in the beginning. After everything I´ve been through with Ellie, it was just a smack in the face with a brick. TLOU II is very good with these kind of moments. I let Abby die intentionally a couple times. The game makes you suffer again and does exactly what you don´t want: trying very hard to make you like Abby. As the story continued, I started to get a new perspective on her. When it came down to the dramatic fight backstage in the theatre I didn´t root for her as my emotional connection with Ellie is much stronger. But I gotta admit, Abby has been through some rough stuff. Up high in the skyscrapers and down low in ground zero on day 2 captures this best. Some people might´ve wanted to free Abby from her sins at the pillars in Seraphite fashion. But in the end I was okay with letting her go. Maybe breaking that cycle of revenge is exactly what Ellie needed to do to get her redemption and get the chance at a "normal" life.

    No other video game or movie for that matter left me more emotionally drained when the credits rolled. I stared at the screen in disbelief of what had just happened until a beautiful version of wayfaring stranger started playing making me tear up. After my first playthrough I felt empty, sad and confused. Ellie seemed to have lost everything. I hated it. Seeing her end up with her biggest fear: ending up alone with everyone she cares about either gone or dead. That´s just tragic and hurts my soul. This was just another huge bottle shattered in my face bringing me down.

    It took me a while to process everything and it still does. I was so shocked I didn´t notice small details like: Ellie wearing Dina´s bracelet after not having it on her when leaving the farmhouse. Ellie carrying no weapons and acting unsurprised and unbothered by the empty house. This hints at the possibility of her and Dina settling down in Jackson which I´d be happy to see.

    I believe she went back for the only object you can interact with in the last scene: the guitar. I´m not sure if she planned to take it with her. But after attempting to play with her missing fingers and then putting to rest what was her only connection left to Joel, for me it symbolized that she has finally come to peace with Joel and she can fully forgive him moving forward.

    I don´t know if there´s gonna be another emotional roller coaster part III but I´d be happy to get any new TLOU content, next time hopefully without leaks.    … Expand

    I've been playing video games for well over 20 years, and never before has a video game touched me this deeply on so many levels. This video game let's you experience it all: dread, grief, hatred, anger, confusion but also love, affection empathy, hope. It is perfect and in my opinion truly a masterpiece. It is more than just a game but rather a piece of art. It has lifted the art of videoI've been playing video games for well over 20 years, and never before has a video game touched me this deeply on so many levels. This video game let's you experience it all: dread, grief, hatred, anger, confusion but also love, affection empathy, hope. It is perfect and in my opinion truly a masterpiece. It is more than just a game but rather a piece of art. It has lifted the art of video game storytelling to a completely new level that I believe will inform the industry for years to come.

    Let me go through the relevant aspects one by one.

    Story: Simply stunning. Obviously the story is what drives this game. Never before have there been so many plot twists and moments where I was like...."WTH IS HAPPENING."...and completely surprised and moved. I was among the lucky ones to not have experienced any spoilers before release, so I was completely blown away be the story. But even if you did experience some spoilers, I still believe that the game is worth your time. You need to experience it yourself in order to fully understand the power of the story and the chraracters' progressions and development. Never has a game succeeded this perfectly at making you identify and empathize with the main characters and relive their feelings this intensely. The fact that I, as a 30 year old who has consumed quite a large amount of media and literary content, have been dreaming of this game every night for almost two weeks, is testament to how well the game manages to draw you into its world. This never happened to me before.

    Addressing the critics: The large amount of negative reviews is clearly due to review bombing. Unfortunately, our gaming culture has a problem with a large and very vocal minority of bigoted, mostly male player who are not open enough to identify with women or LGBT+ characters. They simply can't get over the fact that after 40 years the gaming industry is finally ready to tell stories of people other than white, western men. Hence, these reviews are to a large extent driven by misogyny and homo- and transphobia.

    I assure you that if you keep an open mind and truly care about the characters, which you will, if you enjoyed part 1 and aren't a total sociopath, the story will deeply affect you - irrespective of your gender or background. As in most pieces of art and in real life, things happen in the story that you wish were different. But art is not about pleasing the audience. It is about triggering deep reflection on what it means to be human. And this game achieves just that.

    Graphics: Absolutely stunning! You can see that the developers pushed the PS4 hardware to the absolute limit. The lighting, the vegetation, and especially the character models and facial expressions are next level. Exploring rainy and misty Seattle and roaming through lush, green overgrowth truly immerses you in this world. The same goes for dark tunnels or minutely recreated neighbourhoods and downtown areas. On more than one occasion have I just stood around to take the bittersweet beauty of the world in.

    Gameplay: Everything that we loved from part 1, but better! More challenging and intense fighting (especially melee fights). Way better opponent and companion AI. Better weapons and more noticeable weapon upgrades. A more motivating and satisfying skill progression arc. Simply exploring long abandoned buildings is a lot of fun. Also because of the notes and collectibles that are scattered throughout the game and give additional context to the story and different factions (significantly more so than in the last game). This is reinforced by the amazingly detailed conversations the characters have while exploring the levels.

    Sound: The sound effects and soundtrack is truly amazing. The composer, Gustavo Santaolalla, is a genius. The soundtrack is an important element for reinforcing the feeling and experience that the game invokes. I'd definitely recommend playing with good headphones.

    Overall: The game is the best game I've ever experienced. I've intentionally said experienced, because at some point in the story it is not even about having fun anymore. It is about touching our humanity and challenging our identity as a person. Never has a game required this much of me to the point were I had to take breaks, because it was emotionally exhausting. As I said, a true masterpiece that I can recommend. Thank you to Naughty Dog for creating this wonderful piece of art. I hope there'll be a part 3!!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game… It managed to broke me and at the same time give reasons to live. I literally cried in the end because I really love Ellie and Joel and it hurts to see what happened to them. Their relationship meant so much to me and now they are just gone… I understand why Joel did what he did in part 1. Ellie was all he had, so he couldn't lost her like he lost Sarah. So he saved her. Killed for that. But you know what? I don't care. Because... I would do exactly the same thing. A little girl was alive. Even if it was just for a few years, she was happy. So for me, it was all worth it.
    I wanted Abby to be dead. But then Ellie would lost herself and I don’t want that for her. Joel wouldn’t want that for her. He always protected her from this cruel world and wanted her to stay that happy sarcastic kid. She gave him a light that he thought was gone forever. She gave that light to me, I learnt to enjoy small things, just to be happy with what I have. Cause one day it may just not be here anymore.
    TLoU showed me how brutal people can be. And how they can change. Once, at the end of the fight, there was one women left unarmed. She begged for mercy. But i killed her. I knew that if I let her live, she would shoot me in the back. Just one death of hundreds, but it really got me. It felt real. Like I really killed someone. At that moment I realised that people in that world don’t always want to be cruel. It’s like “kill or be killed”, you just don’t really have a choice. I will never forgive Abby, but I understand why she did what she did. So as I understand Ellie. She couldn’t let it go. She knew that everything is gone too far, but just couldn’t stop. And I’m happy that, eventually, she could.
    This is amazing game. I’ve never experienced anything like that. After part 2 I replayed the first game and all those moments with Joel, every their dialogue, it felt so nice seeing them together again, but also sad, cause I know how it’s gonna end…These games taught me to appreciate life and see the light even if I feel lost and empty in this **** dark around. So thanks, Naughty Dog, for giving me that.    … Expand

No matter if you liked the story or not, the technical aspects (graphics, visuals and animations) are mind-blowing, the atmosphere is amazing (some parts of the game are outright terrifying), the environments feel as real as technology enables, the gameplay is fun and intense and i don't think theres much to say about Gustavo Santaolalla's fantastic soundtrack.

    One can argue about taste, but to call this well-crafted piece of entertainment garbage or rating it anywhere below 4 or 5 just boggles my mind, especially considering how modern mainstream gaming is overshadowed by big companies producing stale and repetitive games over and over again and just changing the name tag (miraculously getting better user ratings than this).

    All things aside, the story is extremely dark, violent and ruthless and i deeply admire Naughty Dog for taking a rather unconventional path. It just seems as if most people were upset about the first 5 hours and didn't even try to experience the game with an open mind, let alone try to take a somewhat objective stance on what the developers were trying to convey. People who dismiss the game as just another dull revenge story seemed to miss that it's much more than that. The story deals with guilt, regret and forgiveness, and more often than not kept me thinking about certain values in life. The game does a great job on making you feel that sweet pain, slowly burning and getting more intense up until the point the credits roll around 35 hours later (on hard difficulty - highly recommended). It really feels like a maturation process for Ellie.

    The game has an unusual tension arc and often relies on flashbacks (probably the best scenes of the game), but as the story goes on, you will really appreciate what the game is trying to make you feel, considering you want to feel it. It also does a great job on expanding the TLOU-universe and creating some interesting new perspectives. In my opinion, the characters motives are reasonable and the legacy of the first game is carried on with dignity. I love games that stick to me even after the credits roll and TLOU 2 did just that. I just needed to get that off my chest after seeing how divided the reactions were. I'm glad to call it one of my favorite games on PS4, right behind the remastered version of the first game.    … Expand

Yes some of the story frustrated me to a point that I rushed through some of it just to get back to Ellie but by the time I completed it I fully understood why they made me play through as Abby and the final fight had me rooting for both characters ( im still team Ellie) and not to mention the infected are still as intense and combat with the different groups is very fun, each group giving you a different challenge. So yes the first game was amazing!

It takes the fundamental question that the original left you wrestling with - the morality of Joel’s decision and actions to save Ellie at the cost of so many others - and let’s the player unpack it alongside Ellie across a tumultuous revenge tale. It’s thematically consistent with the original but looks at the same themes through the lens of new characters that will shock when they’re introduced by warm your heart - if your open to them - by the end. It is in effect anti-fan service, and given that I do understand why so many who love the first game might have trouble stomaching this one. Games are subjective, and this game takes some very deliberate risks that are certain to put off some people.

    Apart from the narrative, this game has gifted us with one of the most amazing survival horror/stealth action gameplay sandboxes of all time. I was not a particular fan of the gameplay in the first game, but this game truly took all of the potential of the first one and maximized it in ways that kept me glued to the screen my entire play through.

    This game uses its gameplay to service the story and themes in ways I’ve not sure I’ve seen before on this scale. It will always be divisive, but it will always go down for me is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Game tecnicamente absurdo, gráficos e jogabilidade, mutos bons.
    Um roteiro que coloca o jogador em diferentes pontos de vista, achei genial.
    Queria muito ver uma DLC mostrando o lado e a jornada do Tommy, mas acho que não acontecerá.
    Enfim, mais um masterpiece na Naughty Dog, NOTA 10.

Even if I despised the story, the gameplay is so phenomenal it would probably rank at an 8 at least. Encounters are filled with dozens of enemies spanning across entire streets of buildings, lining rooftops, searching rooms. Avoiding detection isn’t impossible but certainly difficult, and once you’re spotted the game turns into a desperate game of wits and survival, where you’re forced to make the saving shot, saving dodge, saving throw with an inch of health or one bullet left.... over and over and over again. This is one of the only games I’ve played where my character’s exhaustion mirrored my own. The fights are long, difficult, stressful, and mentally taxing. It’s the best depiction I’ve ever seen of one person fighting insurmountable odds in a video game, ever. The story is beyond incredible as well, provided you have the emotional maturity for it. Characters you love and connect to will die in brutal, unfair ways completely out of your control. Characters will make decisions you wish they wouldn’t, and consequences for previous actions, whether they were justified or not, inevitably make their ways to the characters with zero remorse. It’s a hard thing to watch, but the story is one that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Overall, the complaints I have are minute compared to the praises. There are certain plot points that feel rushed, or things that could have been explained more fully. But they won’t hinder the absolute **** 20+ hour experience that is The Last of Us 2. There is nothing like this game and I doubt there ever will be again. Don’t let the haters ruin this for you, try it out yourself!… Expand

Gra w dobitny sposób pokazuje jaki świat postapo jest brutalny i że każdy może zginąć że wystarczy tylko się wychylić za osłony i można dostać kulkę (Manny). Wiem że Śmierć Joela wielu osobą się nie podobała bo np. Chcieli aby zginął w inny sposób np. Kogoś osłonił swoim ciałem ale nie jest tak i moim zdaniem dobrze jego Śmierć miała zrobić to że będziemy nienawidzić Abby i jej znajomych a gdy nią zaczniemy grać wszystko zrozumiemy czemu to zrobiła i że wcale nie jest taka zła . Mną wstrząsło to że w czasie kiedy Ellie zabija jej przyjaciół to Abby ratuje Yarę i Leva. Gdy Ellie może zabić Abby to ją zostawia tak jak Abby zostawiła ją i Dinę.Abby zaczęła opiekować się Levem jak Joel ellie .

So i think this game is getting much hate for no reason other than childish petulance of the people who feel the game should have been how they wanted it and not the way the story went.

    Now to the game, the game itself is is very good, the story is fluent and pulls on the heart strings a few times, it gives you the sense of how both Abby and Ellie feel during a revenge battle and after thoughts and I feel it moves well enough into the new story, although a few more missions at the start about Joel and Ellie after we left them would have been better. The game graphics are very good and the visualisation of the game is great as it gives the sense of apocalyptic scenery. The game play itself was immersive depending on how you choose to play, whether stealth or shooting, but harder levels will deffinately require you too play more stealth, in some respects it could have changed up the style of play sometimes but overall was good enough to give goosebumps when surrounded by enemies in dark places.

    The game wasn't perfect and it could have done a few things better but over all the game play was smooth, scenery great and story was perfectly fine for me and what I expected of the game regardless of the spoilers. It certainly doesn't deserve such a low user score and too many peopl are influecned by others. 8 out of 10 i think is the best score for this game and it doesn't deserve the hate it hs gotten. I have completed the game got most of the trophies and i'll be going back for another Game + on a harder difficulty to finish off the rest of the trophies and find every angle of this game.    … Expand

    Gone are the clunky mechanics and occasional glitches of Part 1, and the new upgrade and skill trees are much more fun to play with. Combat is exciting and gory; where you land your shot depends on how the enemy will suffer and it made fighting seem like real combat.

    Whilst the story was the opposite of what I expected I loved it. After the intro it became clear what was going to happen and what this game aimed to deal with, and the parallels in the second half of the game worked really well. It was great to see a story that dealt with consequence, grief and loss.    … Expand

Environments are stunning, but the thing that stood out most immediately to me, were the INSANELY well done facial animations and body animations. Second to NONE right now.

    Story and writing: Blew me away what they did for the medium. Won't spoil anything, but playing trough the, lenghty, campaign it grabbed me like a great HBO series has. GoT season 1, Chernobyl. Great writing IMO. Better than, the already good, first game by a long mile.
    Gameplay was good, maybe not amazing, but plenty good for a game where the narative is the focus.

    I can't reccommend this game enough, but please: set the mood before playing it. Headphones, no screaming friends around, no distractions. Take the time, make the commitment to get through it. Accept that the game wants to provoke feelings from the player. I hope you like it, but even if you don't I hope you at least try it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so, people seem to have a problem with processing the idea that any given set of events can have two or more sides to the story, so let's separate the wheat from the chaff here.

    Ellie has a viewpoint. Abby has a viewpoint. YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THIS AND STILL CHOOSE A SIDE. This is *my personal opinion *:

    Yes, **** indeed sucks from Abby's perspective. But guess what? Ellie was honestly too young to be able to make the decision to throw her life away in a permanent choice like this. Joel was right to remove her from this situation because OF COURSE she wants to die in a blaze of glory and save the human race. She is a teenage girl, and how much more romantic a chance can you get?
    But THERE IS A REASON THE AGE OF CONSENT/DRINKING/VOTING IS A BIT HIGHER THAN 14.

    Ellie would have died then and there if the decision was in her hands. But she never would have met Cat, Dina, Jesse, had the years of life in between and beyond the events of TLOU2. I'm willing to bet that, with her current experience, she can look back and agree that she would have made the wrong choice. Joel knew that. He knew she would have chosen to die. He was right to take that choice away from her. She was a child then. She is a woman now. And in the end, Joel knew that he was facing the consequences of his actions in saving Ellie's life. Conversely, Doc Jerry didn't have the right to take that choice away from her, and I'm not sorry he got wasted as a result. Abby can be bitter about it all she wants; her father made the decision to end someone else's life *without asking their opinion first*. So when the tables are turned on him, he should understand that he is facing the consequences of his choice. And someone should have explained that to Abby. No one did, or if they did, they should have realized that *SHE DID NOT HAVE THE EMOTIONAL MATURITY TO DEAL WITH IT*. She clearly needed people around her who could explain this to her in an impartial and fair manner. From what we see of the remaining Fireflies, they shared the despotism and self-righteousness that she had. They felt that they had the right to force their choices on the people around them. Abby got Joel's position forced on her. She had to accept another person murdering someone she loved, without giving him a say in the matter. Joel was not willing to sit back and accept it.
    I'm not saying that Abby should have to go through this either. But she needs to face the fact that her father had done to him what he intended to do to another person-- except that Jerry was willing to murder *a child*.

    My feelings are that Joel did right. Jerry deserves what he gets. Abby and Ellie both need to understand not only the beliefs of the others involved, but also the fact that their actions and intentions devolve onto their children in the most direct way possible. But, for my two cents, in the beginning of the prologue, I threw Abby off a cliff. I should have won the game then and there. I choose Ellie and Joel.

    But in the grand scope of things, there are no fast and easy answers in this situation. AND THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT. Naughty Dog did a beautiful job of making the player understand that every person has different views and choices. And, in the words of the immortal Andrew Ryan, we all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us.    … Expand

On the surface, you may believe it's a uninspiring revenge plot, but as you play through, you realise the plot is a vessel for an inspiring narrative, taking you through a gamut of emotions. While some are uncomfortable, they are necessary to experience the games unique story and its underlying morals. What a ride.

This is as pure of a gaming experience you will ever have. This cannot be missed.

I can see why people dont like this game, some scenes are pretty brutal, but personally i think its worth it for the fantastic story that is told. the perspective of abby made the ending in particular that much more crazy and brutal. there isnt much new gameplay wise apart from a few new items and traversal method, but its mostly about the story, and that is where the last of us 2 really shines… Expand

    Best game I have ever played. The game comes with a great story, stunning graphics and acting so real that I was more then once overwhelmed by all kinds of emotions. I don’t understand why so many people hate on the game. The story is brilliant. People who are complaining about the story must have stopped playing the game too early...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished this game recently. I totally understand why some people wouldn't like it. But I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    This game is not without its problems. The 3rd act kinda' falls off after the main characters, Ellie and Abby have their fated duel. And the characters motivations aren't as clear as the original. But I i feel like those criticisms are merely nit-picks in regards to the amazing gameplay. I had hella' fun playing this game and can't imagine what they'll do for a 3rd sequel.    … Expand

    Um belo jogo, a jogabilidade e a história estão em nota 10 ! Me surpreendeu bastante , a expressão facial dos personagens em alguns momentos é de fazer brilhar os olhos . Minha única preocupação era com o tempo de jogabilidade , e me surpreendeu bastante .

If the world really had a disaster such as this, I genuinely believe this would be the outcome. Humans killing each other off one by one, battling for power, not having empathy, and not caring who they destroyed in their path.

    I haven't played a game as immersive as this since the last of us 1. This game took me on a roller coaster of emotions. From shouting at the tv, to crying like a baby. With gaming being centered around paywalls and microtransactions, I can really appreciate the effort that was put into creating this. The story from start to ending, I loved, as frustrating of an experience as it was. Bravo to Naughty Dog    … Expand

    Ignore the haters/dummies... This game was completely engrossing from start to finish. Such a deep story line that keeps you questioning just about everything that you see and do. Please keep this quality up Naughty Dog. A masterpiece in art/story/gaming.

    The game is phenomenal. Bought it digitally on launch and loved it from start to finish. Most of the hate I've seen online seems to be coming from incels and misogynists.

    Stealth game play is wonderfully fluid and the graphics were nerdgasmic on my OLED. Never seen a game look so good, even on my gaming PC. Truly a technical marvel.

    Это буквально лучшая игра в моей жизни.
    Сюжетные твисты - это вау. В итоге игра за Эдди была даже интереснее, чем за Элли.
    Грустно, что они просто не поговорили. Надеюсь, они с Диной увидятся и смогут наладить отношения Я понимаю все ходы и почему вы сделали именно так. Спасибо, что показываете реальных людей с обычной внешностью. Это было отличное путешествие    Это буквально лучшая игра в моей жизни.

    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]
