    Sowohl Story, als auch die Charaktere selbst, kommen so real und glaubwürdig rüber, das man nicht anders kann, als mit zu trauern,hassen, lieben.

In the first last of us, you only learned about Joel and Ellie’s struggle. There is always another side to the story. Poor choice of choosing Abby to fill that void but still valid to have a story for the actions that were made.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never really understood the hate for this game. After finishing this game i couldnt express what a masterpiece i have finished.
    The next gen combat style, the details in combat, the visuals and fighting envoriments, the voice acting, the emotions displayed by every character in the vame. Naughty dog really worked hard on this one.
    The Abby part might have been annoying at first because we were at such a good point at story and having to resest to Day1 in seattle again to play as a villain?But her part was really good later on too.
    [spoiler] The ending and everything was a really good way to justify for joel in my opinion. I loved joel so much and by the end of the game i accepted what had happened to him.    … Expand

    The Last of Us was a title that made me love the PS3 as a console. The immersive and somewhat grounded world, the characters who had been affected by this world, and an intense, emotional story built off of their development on a journey through it. It was memorable, beautiful and stayed with me for very long after playing.

The immersive and somewhat grounded world, the characters who had been affected by this world, and an intense, emotional story built off of their development on a journey through it. It was memorable, beautiful and stayed with me for very long after playing.

    Enter The Last of Us Part 2, a game that carries us back into this same world with some familiar faces making an appearance. For starters, the game stands out as one of the most graphically beautiful experiences you can get on console today. The lighting, the incredible density of areas you explore, the quality of material detail, and like the first game, some incredible facial animation work with real acting performances that make you feel like you’re watching real humans interact with each other. It isn’t that often i will willingly ignore the sprint button and walk around a game world, just taking it all in, but this is one in which i regularly felt the need to do it. The best part being all of this is at a very solid and smooth frame rate too.

    The game also sounds incredible, the sonic atmosphere is perfectly balanced with a great dynamic range. The music is also brilliant, again, and perfect for the dark, barren, and often hopeless world it embellishes, the main themes being used sparingly at the main story beats to add to the impact of these moments. I think the most important thing to take from this amazing visual and sonic fidelity, is how immersive this game is, and i think that mainly comes down to the great job the dev team have done creating this extreme, complex and believable world.

    The gameplay is very much similar to the first, but refined and improved in many ways too. I personally really enjoy the main gameplay mechanics, searching for crafting parts to ready yourself for combat, and then finding it’s often just enough to get you through said encounters. I found the ‘moderate’ difficulty option to be more than fair, with a few parts that i found particularly challenging, but occasional difficulty spikes, although rare, did happen. Again though, these could be worked around with a few attempts and some thought (or spamming with the heavy weapons and some luck).
    The enemy variation is much better this time around, with more infected (some new more shocking examples too), some animals and more humans with different backstories and reasons for what they do. These little differences make encounters feel unique and more challenging strategically. There were unfortunately some moments, especially in the latter part of the game, in which the encounters maybe started to feel a bit much, and more like something from the Uncharted series. It felt a little out of place in a game series that usually aims to be slightly more grounded, stealth based and not the hyped up ‘one man army’ style.

    However, i think I’m not alone when i say the most important thing in this game is the story and its characters. Unfortunately, i would say this is a bit of a mixed bag, and there’s a lot of thinking to do after completing it. The characters, particularly Ellie and Dina, are very well written and felt grounded, relatable and real. The cutscenes are incredible, and a few very beautiful moments occur in which, very much like the first, you will be left a little tearful. I generally really enjoyed the game and think its a very interesting and profound story experience, but in a way, there are moments i really did not enjoy. In a sense, i know this is intentional (which is somewhat interesting in itself), but with it being a game, it feels a little odd to be forced to do certain things, and then made to feel bad about not enjoying doing them. In fact, its that divisive and split, there was one particular moment where i was considering putting the controller down and calling it a day, because i didn’t want to do what i had to. It is completely understandable to me that people will not like this story, and some big fans of the first may even struggle to complete it, but i think i do also respect Naughty Dog in some ways for breaking the mould and doing something extraordinarily risky. It is a game that will stay with you, but not at all for the same reasons as the first did, and not necessarily good reasons. Some very important new characters are introduced throughout the game, and some of these new characters are not handled in a very good way, which leaves you struggling to relate and care about them when it comes time to. Also, the game is somewhat split into two main parts, built from two main perspectives, and again, i’m not sure whether this was a great idea (although it does mean you get to meet more characters and see more of the world, which is a positive thing. I am all for world building).
    The game is very fleshed out, deep and detailed though, so you can easily put 20-35+ hours into one play through, depending on your play style.    … Expand

    playing as Abby for the second half was not good i really didn't like her at all , you don't make her kill Joel and then you want me to like her? how the hell am i supposed to like her as a main character ? it felt like forcing me to like a character i didn't want to like
    killing Joel wasn't an issue for me expect it happened so early in the game , it was there , he had a past full of bad deeds he wasn't going to die peacefully in his sleep of course but killing him 2 hours in the game i really don't think it's a smart choice
    game play was amazing , graphics and soundtrack are amazing , story not so much what i expected after the first game
    such a letdown on the story side , i hope they can fix this with a DLC or anything else , i also hope they make a third part where they fix the story for the better , the ending wasn't the best , Ellie lost a lot and didn't get what she wanted , she lost Dina , she lost JJ she lost 2 fingers which means she wont be able to play guitar again the last thing that connected her to Joel , while Abby didn't lose as much as Ellie lost , they left the ending opened for a new part , which must be made as they cant leave the game with this ending , i really want to see a game detected for Ellie not anyone else just Ellie    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel was never the good guy, he was the first game´s antagonist. Just how Ellie and Joel kill people in cold blooded and dry ways , also can abby when killing joel and jesse.
    The first game is about:Selfishness, and how joel doesn't want to experience loss once more do that is why he "saves" Ellie.
    The Second game is about:Forgiveness, and how Ellie cannot forgive Joel for taking away the only thing she looked forward to, In the scene where Ellie tells Joel she´ll try to forgive Joel is parallel to her not killing Abby. Ellie isn't as sadistic as Abby so revenge at the end becomes futile, she isn't at Abby´s level , by letting her live she has moved on from Joel's passing.

    It's no secret how terrible Abby´s writing is, the game structure is all over the place, when we play as Abby we do not care or have motivation, I believe the Abby part needs waaaaaaaaay better writting and that the part we play as her is the part we play first so we wonder who this person is and them BAM! we´ve been playing as the villain all along.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was done masterfully. It didn't force its morals down our throats while still making them clear. Its message was NOT that violence was bad. At least, that's not what I walked away feeling. I walked away with the sense that violence was pointless. Through all the killing from both sides in the game, nothing was accomplished and no one felt like "The good guy" anymore. Of course as Naughty Dog has made us expect, the graphics and sound design were top notch. Many people are criticizing the way a beloved character was taken from us early. This is a real world where things happen realistically and painfully, and while it hurt us to see, it was a great driving, motivating force to play. This game got across every message and every point it wanted to exactly how it wanted to. If people are so blinded by what they think the game is about, that they want a different ending, that's their fault This is a story about Ellie. About what Ellie feels and does, and she goes through so much, and sees so much, and makes the decision many of us would. Get over it.… Expand

I had heard that naughty dog were pushing the agenda with Ellie being gay with Dina and the trans character. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn’t the case. People are gay. People are trans. They don’t talk about it a lot throughout and they just try to survive like they should. Felt very real and I was impressed. It’s not a perfect game but it’s close.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Non Spoiler Review: If you enjoyed the last of us 1, then you would probably enjoy this game too. The graphics are amazing, the soundtrack is phenomenal, and the gameplay is an continuation of the first game. I would recommend playing on Survivor since I feel you can get the full experience of surviving the land of the last of us on this difficulty. I would say lower difficulty made the game significantly less fun. The scavenging is limited in survivor, the enemies AI are more random and unpredictable. Once they see you, they hit hard. Most of the time overwhelming you or one-shoting you. There are bosses in this game that are extremely fun, makes me want to replay for those bosses alone (again on Survivor difficulty). For the non-spoiler review of the story, it reminded me a lot of the Last of Us 1 story in a lot of ways. Last of us 1 and the Last of us 2 can both be described as tragic stories. You will see a lot of things that will make you uncomfortable but its there to tell a story about Ellie. In the end, I was emotionally invested, and felt the same as I did in the end of The Last of Us 1. I would give both games 9/10s

    SPOILERS
    The story elements reminded me a lot of the original last of us 1. Joel original goal was to get Ellie to the fireflies to be the cure for humanity but took Ellie away so he wouldn't have to experience the death of another child. In Last of us 2, Ellie's original goal was to murder the people who murdered Joel. In the end, she forgives Abby for what she did and lets her go.

    Both games had a goal only to be turned over. The controversy of the ending again reminds me of the Last of Us 1. Many people were confused and upset for what Joel did. Now, its Last of Us 2 time to experience the same backlash. Some people call the Last of us 2 pointless but the Last of Us 1 was a pointless tale too. Joel was delivering the last hope for humanity but decided to keep her so he can have a daughter again.

    The Last of us 2 is tragic story. It shows how damaging selfishness can be and how important forgiveness is. Throughout the story, Ellie was losing everyone around her. Her actions led to the destruction of her relationship with Dina, the death of Jessie, the injuries on Tommy, and her losing her ability to play the guitar (in some aspect, ill come back to it. ). On the final battle, She got the upper hand on Abby but ultimately decided not to kill her as Ellie gets a memory of her last moment with Joel.

    Despite Joel ambition to save Ellie. The action destroyed their relationship with each other, Ellie wanted to sacrifice herself for the cure. She saw what Joel did as devastating. It took 4 years for Ellie to finally forgive Joel and understand why he did what he did. That reminder of forgiveness is where Ellie finally realize that killing Abby wouldn't fix anything. Killing Abby won't bring Joel back, won't fix her relationships, won't bring back her friend. The path for revenge lead her to a destructive path.

    Now talking about Abby, very similar events occur. After the death of her father by the hands of Joel. She couldn't stop thinking about her revenge. She spent her time training and looking for Joel hindering her relationship with Owen. After she killed Joel, Abby lost all her friends. She gets the people involve with her hurt such as Yara who sacrificed herself to save Lev and Abby. She was then kidnapped by slave traders where she was beaten and tortured for months. Her relationship with the young boy Lev brought her back to reality (sounds familiar?) . She learned to forgive Ellie and move on. It just took Ellie a few more months to get to that point.

    The ending is very emotional. It ends with Ellie trying to play her guitar with her missing fingers, only to find out she can't. She lost everything trying to kill Abby, even the last gift Joel gave her. I don't think its all bad in the end, since Ellie can learn to play the Guitar the other way. Like playing the guitar from a different perspective. That's just a hypothesis parallel on my part.

    The ending is meant to be ambiguous because its up to the player to decide why Ellie did the things she did. Like how it was up to the player to decide why Joel did the things he did.    … Expand

    at the end i was screaming at my tv and begging ellie to not kill abby , because she was so close to become a monster she was trying her best to be like joel getting revenge torturing making people talk but she just couldn't take it anymore and she finally accepted her mistakes and found out revenge is a pointless cycle without any result, lev made abby to understand this fact but ellie needed more time but hopefully she did get the point , for me it showed that in ellie there is some humanity left ,

    it's kind of funny because when I've started to read some comments toxic people just reminded me the serephites, group if people with some crazy beliefs and just cannot accept their mistakes and give this game another shot and when others trying to open upsome facts for them they just refuse to listen and simply attack

I was VERY uncertain how to feel about how early our favorite character from the last game would get killed off and that most of this games middle section was following a brand new character but by the last 3/4ths it made perfect sense. I started to care for this character as well and understand why she did the things she did. Having the two mains not kill each other in the end but still letting ellie beat Abby within an inch of her life helped the pain of Joel and a few other characters sting less. This game was the most tense and heartbreaking experience I've had in a video game. The animation, attention to detail, gameplay, and art of this game has me absolutely floored.

We played 6 hours a day until we finished it and we loved every minute of the Game. First of all this game gets a bonus point in my rating, just because it was treated very unfair by a huge amount of people, some of them got sad because someone they liked died. (Spoiler free) Thats not a valid critic if you look at this game from an at least a bit objective view

    Graphics and Sound (10/10)

    TLOU2 is one of the most beautiful Games I have ever played. The graphics were really detailed, with realistic characters, detailed hair and what I loved the most, was how they recreated Seattle. The sounds were amazing as well. Everytime Ellie had to jump a long distance, you really heard how exhausted she was, every destroyed window sounded like the window we sat next to was just shattered in the moment, the window in the game did. Those are just a few examples.

    Gameplay (9/10)

    TLOU2 excels over TLOU due to improvements in the Gameplay. Fighting and shooting got clearly improved, making every fight fun, the dodging mechanic allowed you to just beat up runners in close combat more easily and to dodge new, bigger enemies. New hiding mechanics like crouching in tall grass, impoved the gameplay for me personally as well. For me looting was an essential and fun part of the gameplay, but I get, why some people dont like it. Well its a survival horror and you dont have to loot everything if you dont want to. 9/10 because of a few bugs I saw.

    Atmosphere (10/10)

    Its a suvival horror game, that always made you feel anxious in a lot of situations and got you emotionally carried away a lot of times. I had moments were I was really scared, some were I was really angry at characters and some were I was sad and had to cry some tears.

    Story (9/10)

    For me the story of TLOU2 was great. At the moment a character we all loved died, I was really angry at the antagonist and wanted to kill this person and everyone of them so badly. Progressing through the story with everything that happened you saw how Ellie was destroyed by all that hate in her. She turned into a violent person, killing everyone in her way to the Goal, just like Joel. I loved that decision. And the moment you played as the antagonist you felt a bond with her as well, making the end game emotionally really hard to play. If you get carried avay with your emotions like this, the game mus be great    … Expand

    Um jogo para pessoas com um emocional forte, pois do início ao fim, te fará ficar triste, com raiva, criar expectativa, esperança e se decepcionar, e quando você menos espera, o jogo te surpreende e te faz compreender por que cada coisa acontece, e te mostra que ser bom ou mau é apenas uma questão de ponto de vista.

    Foi a segunda vez que um jogo me fez chorar, sendo que o primeiro foi The Last of Us 1.
    É impossível explicar o nível de imersão que esse jogo traz e a forma como ele brinca com seu emocional e com suas crenças.

    A ambientação e qualidade visual são magníficos.
    Os efeitos sonoros são muito imersivos, ouvir um estalador chega a arrepiar.
    Gameplay sobre tensão a cada ponto com inimigos, sendo desesperador contra certos infectados.
    História extremamente bem desenvolvida, a melhor que já pude jogar, meche com seu emocional de uma forma que você fica sem saber o que fazer após finalizar o jogo, deixa um vazio enorme e sentimentos inexplicáveis.

I firmly believe and after having played the game 3 times, which is a very good game, its technical and sound section is perfect, its gameplay is as fun as the first, but this one perfects it excellently, the music is magical and always transmits everything a splendid feeling, the story, I think it is good, maybe it is not a masterpiece like the first The Last Of Us but it is very good, I understand that the player does not like it in the first instance, I hated it the first Once, but after playing it a second time and analyzing everything, I concluded that if it really transmits so many feelings to you and in such a faithful way, hate, courage, violence, sadness, tiredness, just magnificent. Maybe Abby's character is the worst of all, and that's what makes me give her a 9 instead of a 10 but I sincerely believe that Naugthy Dog did an excellent job for the rest. My only point against it is that Abby's development was not the best it could have been, maybe if they had presented him before seeing how he kills Joel, the player could have better sympathized with him.
    In short, The Last of Us Part 2 is a very good game, I could say that it far exceeds the first The Last Of Us in most sections.

TLOU1 and 2 both have agendas if you didn't notice .. you have the right to disagree with it but don't deceive others and say that it deserves 0!!

    All reviews were based on the leaks or the first couple of hours of the game which has a shocking event that make the game make sense imo and even the ending I saw it perfect and it fits Ellie's character 100%

    On the other hand the game's gameplay is amazing and very enjoyable, very few commented on the gameplay which is 80% of the game and I really wished it didn't end, and I'd like to play more.

    This is perhaps the greatest story game of all time. Stick through the 30 hours and if you don’t come with pre-judged negative feelings then you will enjoy a type of game that doesn’t come around very often that it’s to be cherished. Only negative thing for me is, you only get to experience the game once.

But, to trash a game, a game studio, and to ask for the writers or other employes of Naughty Dog to resign? Boy, just, what the hell?

    The story is complex, much more than in the first game. I don't see "forced agenda" or politics in the game, and this comes from someone who hates that kind of thing. I mean, we know Ellie is gay since the first game, and there are people still not cool with that? What were you expecting?

    The game dificulty can be changed overall (easy, moderate, hard, etc), or you can tweak it to your personal like: you can set the AI of your allies independently of the AI of the enemies, you can make the stealth mechanics more forgiving and the combat mechanics more challenging at the same time, and other things like that.

    Why not giving it a 10? Because it's not a perfect game. Some animations, like walking backwards, sometimes feel odd. Also, the game makes it very clear when you are near enemies, and when there is no more danger. For people like me, who sucks at stealth games, this is awesome, but I know there are people who don't want any kind of help like this.

    TL;DR:
    If you liked the first game, and you like complex stories with complex characters, you are going to enjoy this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. STORYLINE:
    From my point of view - the Last of Us part 2 was a phenomenal game for 2020. Aside from some little bugs in the controls - the way in which ND went with the story was done well. Both characters for me were very enjoyable.

    THAT SCENE:
    The game's morals are all in the grey after Joel's death happens - understandable. You have to think with an open mind, how would revenge affect the characters? In Ellie's case, revenge is the driving force for her side of the story. You want to chase down Abby and find out as to what the actual hell was going through her head.
    Early in the game, we've got no idea as to what he actually did to warrant Abby's team to track them down - we can guess, sure - but it's never said out loud until you play Abby's section. Look at this section from both sides and see what revenge is doing; for Abby, it's getting revenge for the death of her father and the lack of cure. Abby walks in to see her father shot in the head, she's rightfully angry for her loss. Ellie wants revenge for the death of a father figure. Also angry. If I were to put myself in either character's shoes - I would feel exactly the same if I were in that position.
    Revenge is one hell of a motivator. Who's the real enemy? Is it Ellie - for chasing down the WLF team on a manhunt? Is it Abby? Is it Joel? There's no clear cut line of right and wrong anymore, only shades of grey.

    I personally don't feel like it was rushed - I felt like Joel's death was at the right spot. Don't get me wrong - I screamed through it and then promptly paused for a cry. It gave the game enough of a push to go 'Oh, this is a thing we need to deal with right now let's go!' as the most 'excitement' that the characters had to deal with at that time is patrols and the clicker/runner groups. The Jackson crew had 4 years of idling. They were living at that point (they had winter dances!), not fighting to survive and without that death - I am unsure as to where the game would have gone. It gave the game enough of a push for the narrative to keep going.
    TLOU isn't farming sim and rainbows - we knew it was a gritty game from the first one.

    ENDING:
    So the ending has brought around a mixture of views; I thought it was OK. It ended a cycle of revenge. What would have Ellie gained if she killed Abby? Potentially Lev chasing her to enact his revenge for his newfound sister, starting the cycle again? It wouldn't have brought Joel back, nor would it help the PTSD/Panic attacks, or the terms in which her relationship with Dina was left. It would have left Ellie in a more broken state than what we saw at the end of the game.

    CHARACTERS AND COMPANIONS:
    There were genuine conversations that didn't feel forced out for the sake of the player. Dina and Ellie's discussion of Judaism in the synagogue and was one of the most organic conversations I've seen from video game characters in ages. The relationships shown between the characters made it realistic; Jesse's teasing at the start of the game, Ellie and Dina with the snowball fight - realistic! (and wholesome)

    The build of Abby in the game was also real - regardless of the 'female head on male body' comments. Look at women who do deadlift, or do MMA/UFC - they are built with muscle galore. Look at Jessie Graff, Weili Zhang, Ronda Rousey, Jessica Buettner, Rebecca Rowley as examples. Broad shoulders doesn't diminish femininity. Actual, real-life body types shown in a AAA game that wasn't hypersexualised was a nice take.

    GRAPHICS:
    The fact that the ND team had functioning rope physics was amazing, in my opinion. The introduction of being able to gather and throw a rope - and have it looking realistic was incredible.
    The snow generation on trees in the early Jackson/outskirts of Jackson was incredibly realistic. Sometimes it glitched out and was bright - there were some texture issues, yes, but aside from that, you could see the spray of snow after you landed in it. You could see blood from the enemies progressively soak into the snow (and the sole of Ellie's converse) and it track through the snow as a footprint and not just look like a red smudge on the screen.

    The attention to detail is wild in TLOU. Look at Ellie when she puts a bandage on - the blood soaks through over time. It's always annoyed me for the longest time when characters flail at their backpack (fully closed) and magic something into their hand - Ellie grabs things out of the side of her bag if they're small (i.e Brick/Molotov) because it's not actually closed. If you spent time thinking 'why's her bag not closed, that's going to annoy me' - that's why.

    SOUND:
    The sound in ND games have always been good. I got emotional during the first Joel song. Guitar moments in TLOU are nice, as you can either play what the game wants you to - or crack out Seven Nation army without the game throwing a fit. You get ringing in your ears if someone fires directly above you (attention to detail is wild!)

    Tolle und Packende Story welche mir nicht mehr aus dem Kopf gehen wird.
    Leider gibt es zu viele Menschen die denken, eine Geschichte müsse so ablaufen wie sie es gerne hätten.

    I absolutely love this game! It is absolutely gorgeous and very well made story/gameplay wise. Despite a lot of people being negative about it is really worth playing! I didn't agree with EVERYTHING that happens in the story but who does? ;) The story is really emotional and very much worth it

    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]
