    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler Alert ! This review contains spoilers.

    almost 4 days, finally I reached the end. I didn't see any spoiler before I played it by myself, so when I saw Joel's death, the story of Abby's father, Ellie's revenge, I was totally shocked.

    Personally, I can accept the whole story of Part 2, I can understand both Abby and Ellie. Abby's hate of Joel, because of her father's death. Her father was shot by Joel, without any weapon in his hand. Abby can not forgive Joel, her heart was taken by rage, she belived her father is a good man, who wanted to save the world, but killed by Joel. the next few years, she just trained herself, joined wlf, met exboyfriend. All she wanted is revenge, is Joel. you can see, When she killed Joel, she didn't blame Ellie, she gave her life, let her go, that is first time.

    Abby didn't meet someone who really save her souls, until Lev and Yara. After 3days with Lev, and her two best friends were killed by Ellie, she still gave Ellie second chance. Because she konws that feeling, that your heart was taken by RAGE, REVENGGE, and you kill someone who can not hurt you, even you hate that man, he can still be you nightmare all your life. that is different, Abby do have killed so many people, but she can tell herself, on that moment, if she didn't shoot, she might be the dead one. But with Joel, she can't tell herself like that, because joel was under her foot, without any chance to do something. She knew that feeling after Joel, so she didn't do it again to Ellie, twice.

    And Ellie, some people can not accept the choice of Ellie. Did you guts really kill someone?Did you guys really kill someone who have nothing to do with you, and have nothing in her hand when you pointed her with a gun, and be Pregnant?if you did that once, you might understand Ellie. of course, Ellie has killed so many people, but the same, she did that because of defense too. And Joel always taught her to be a good girl, she knews what is right, what is not. And the most important, Ellie didn't have a chance to apologize to Joel. She want to save the world, she know she might be the hope of the world, but Joel made a choice for her, she feels guilty all the time after she knows the turth. she finally forgive Joel, but Joel is dead, she have no chance to say that. And after Mel, Ellie knows if she do it
    again, Abby will be her nightmare too. so she let Abby and Lev go. I can totally feel her struggle and pain.

    i want say it again, i can understand both Abby and Ellie, i think it's a good story, I don't want to be a silent player. I just want to make my voice heard.

    Won't beat around the bush; this game does not care how you feel; It makes you angry, tired, drained, frustrated... on purpose.
    It's dark, heavy and emotional. It's a game that takes a lot of chances and hits in every way. The story is masterfully put together and entwines with the gameplay in a way that has you feeling all the emotions Naughty Dog wants you to feel. You will hate characters, love characters, then be forced to second guess your views on them, as well as the actions you've performed in the game. You will kill enemies out of necessity, then come to the realisation that you're killing somebody's loved one. This game does not care how you want things to go and it will drag you through this experience and it will do it violently.
    The violence in this game is brutal, but it's relevant and meaningful; it's not gore porn. Ellie is relentless, the world she is in and the enemies she's up against are relentless.
    This intensity adds to the already intense gameplay, you never feel like you're safe and you always feel like you just can't catch a breathe.
    I could go on and on about how amazing this work of art is; from the sound design, to the writing, to the acting, graphics, animations... I'll stop there.
    Quite easily one of the most intense, harrowing, emotionally draining experiences I've ever had in media, let alone video games. A masterpiece.

    I like it. Does it honour the memory of the dirt game no. But it’s a great standalone. You’ll only really find bad writing here and there but the overall experience is great. The game succeeded as ND got you to feel emotion and the ones they wanted like anger hate and grief with occasional love and happiness. This game had the potential to be a lot and I mean A LOT better but it just wasn’t.

    I had loved the first one - This one goes beyond. It's visceral and you're gonna be tapped to your sofa for the 25-20h needed to compleet the story.
    The best PS4 game made ever (and I'm a fan of TW3 which is completely different by the way). I really don't understand at all the bad critics from users, the story is jsut insane and most of all the way they make you live it is just mindblazing.

I liked the story, even if far from perfect (maybe playing Abby sooner instead of a 10 hours part late in the game would be better). The gameplay is basically same as the first, with a few more possibilities (jump, crawl, dodge). Graphics are often fantastic, same for the sound design. The level design is better than the first game, more varieties for the levels, some great parts to play (the forest by night, the building late in the game, the first encounter with the scars). No major glitches for me. Just found the introduction a bit too long, the AI is still far from perfect (but more aggressive and more enemies), and basically, the progression is the same as in every ND Games. But great adventure. Expand

    A masterwork of a game, easily one of the best games in the past 10 years, even better than the original. Of course it's hard to overcome the awe and newness of the original game in its time, but objectively the new game is better on every level, even if a lot of it's elements are now very familiar.

    A masterwork of a game, easily one of the best games in the past 10 years, even better than the original. Of course it's hard to overcome the awe and newness of the original game in its time, but objectively the new game is better on every level, even if a lot of it's elements are now very familiar.

    The writing, dialog and performances combined are possibly the best I've ever seen in a game, it's even better than most movies in the genre. I wish that this is what Walking Dead was more like, and kinda was in early seasons, but I digress. The writing has excellent pacing, weaving between sequences of intense action followed by much-needed respites, pretty perfectly balanced. Whether I was doing straight gameplay or essentially watching a movie section I was thoroughly engrossed throughout. And I really liked the character arcs, this game has interesting things to say that even sorta addresses criticism of certain thematic aspects of the Uncharted games. It turns things on its ear for its audience the way few games have, ever. And that is very good. And even on a moment to moment basis, this game was filled with so many "gotcha" moments and I hardly ever saw any of them coming. I love that in any movie or game.

    This is probably the best-looking game I've ever seen, there is so much detail and artistry packed into every corner of this game and it is simply massive! It would have been enough if the game was half as long but at 30 hours or so it's a highly satisfying length. To put that much detail into such a long game is unfathomable. And it seems like they maybe took a page out of God Of War by making a point to blend seamlessly between gameplay and cutscenes and weird hybrid gameplay-cutscenes. It's very effective.

    The gameplay is tight and fun, I was rarely frustrated with the controls. There are tons of ways to approach encounters and great depth and strategy. In these types of games I typically approach encounters in a boring way by sticking with one weapon or tactic the whole time, but with the chronically low ammo count per weapon you are forced to always mix things up which makes every encounter interesting, and when you pull it off, you feel like a right badass. And even when I'm in a section where I'm dying over and over again, each attempt hardly ever happens the same way twice, which is fun.

    Now that I finished I went back to look to see what everyone's fuss about regarding the story leaks and I can confidently say that it's all very unfounded and anyone who hated the ideas inferred in the spoilers, then played this masterful game, and still hates it, well... they are not using reason, but are blinded by emotion. And to everyone who is review-bombing the game who hasn't even played it (looking at everyone who posted reviews before it came out or only on the first day it came out) shame on you.

    Avoid reading or seeing any details for this game, and go play it as soon as you can.

If you know Naughty Dog and what they are capable of, you can probably tell these user scores are just trolls, I had seen the leaks and played the game. All I can say is, its hands down, one of the best games I have ever played in my life. Supposedly the anger is because of the outcome of some beloved character than some people could not handle.
    some say, the marketing was bad but that was only if only to keep the story protected.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. aside from the obvious split in opinions based on what happens in the game, The Last Of Us Part II showcases one of the most visually appealing games in PS4 history along with some great audio design and an enjoyable, though somewhat tedious, gameplay. when playing a video game like TLOU2, you got to understand that this is Naughty Dog's story to tell, not your own story to create. there is nothing a user can do to change the 25 hour-long story that ND spent years to present. I respect the bold choices the studio made to break away from the happy endings and fan services that many video games still fall victim to. the story might have been depressing, violent and full of hate as ND claimed long before the game's release and leaks (possibly the worst thing to happen to this game, I am sure more people would be on board with Abby's character if it weren't for the leaks) but at the end of the day, a story that involves hundreds and thousands of deaths, including characters we love, was inevitable in the world Naughty Dog built throughout the first TLOU and I am still excited to see what direction ND takes in TLOU3 based on what happened in this game. Overall, I am just as satisfied with TLOU2 and I was with TLOU in a totally different way, and the amount of both justified and unjustified hate this game is receiving from the general public is disappointing to me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I think that this game was what it was supposed to be cinematically and so much improved from the TLoU1 mechanically. Storyline(spoiler after disclaimer) - Ellie and Abby’s arch’s make sense if you consider them as real people rather than characters in your story. PTSD, sorrow, sadness masquerading as revenge, and finding closure without finality are all real and I felt it all. I felt the rage and bloodlust after (spoilers until next paragraph) Joel’s death. I felt the confusion at finding all the dead in Seattle, I felt the tiredness at the end of day 2, the confusion and sense of duty as Abby, and when I was at the farm with my family I felt like I’m done but, can I just leave it like that. Once I was in this fight with Abby, I just didn’t want it to be so personal, why couldn’t I just shoot her. Why are the developers making me do this, imagine being Ellie in that fight. “Why do I have to kill her? I’m so tired. I’ve come so far. Is this really what I want or just what I think I need to do. This does nothing for Joel. This kid will die if I kill Abby. I just want this to be over.” And so she chose it to be over. To choose herself and her conscience over revenge. I loved it. Also, it had some of the unfairness of real life. I did all this **** to get the surgery kit for her to get merc’ed come on. Lol The story was great if you’re willing to let go of, well basically yourself, and realize Joel had a good heart yes. But he was far from perfect and made bad decisions, and was ultimately as selfish as everyone in that godforsaken world, and as Ellie have to go against that mentality in the end. Game mechanics - I liked everything the changed from the first
    -Finally I have a knife
    -I can jump
    -I can craft arrows
    -I can dodge and get into real brawls
    -I can make silencers
    -I can go prone
    In general the gameplay was smoother and cleaner than a game from 2013 nothing to write home about. Cons-
    It felt too easy...? I played it on the hardest mode and it felt pretty easy to kill anything, my ammo was usually full, my backpack was usually full, I found all of the cards. I hope they drop a harder update but that’s about all.

    Thanks for reading!

Every new character is alive, and more interesting than the next. Truly a well developed, and frankly obviously step from the previous incarnation. A bit derivative in the story, but still engaging. Anyone who saw Joel as a hero from the first installment is an idiot. Expand

Although most people don't agree to Joel's death, not everyone dies the honorable death they wanted in this cruel, harsh world. Naughty Dog also did a good job in making us feel sympathy for Abby, although she killed the fan-favorite Joel, she was on the same mission Ellie was on, they both extremely loved their "dads". The ending also completed it all,Ellie remembered the scene where she was on the porch with joel, telling him she will forgive him, she put 2 and 2 together and let Abby go. She also didnt want lev to lose Abby just like she lost Joel. What. A. Masterpiece. Expand

    The only issue I have with the game is being forced to play as Abby.
    I believe that Neil Druckman should have made Abby story into a mini game for finishing the Main story.
    It could have been a bonus game story to play, if the player want too.
    By taking out Abby from the main game. The game would have not felt, so long and dragging.

    For example: When you finish the main campaign, and the title screen tell you "You can replay the game with game Plus blah...blah..." a second message pop up. Also, for finishing the main campaign you now unlock "Abby story". This way the player can choose to play Abby story till the End.

    I also feel the ending should have 2 ending. One giving you the choose to kill Abby, and a Second choose to let Abby go. I feel that Abby has suffer enough by the end of the game for killing Joel.

    If you kill Abby in the end of the main story, on Abby story she dies, if you let her go on Abby Story she lives.

From great powers comes great responsabilities then Neil Druckmann and all NaughtyDog decide to push forward the meaning of videogame as an interactive medium with themes and connections between other medium like comics movies and music that has been just barely touched in indie games and never in AAA games in this deep way. The only negative thing that i'm a little sad about is that the public wasn't ready for such a brave change and because of this we can't all share the impressions and the love that such a great storyline and character development deserves because the vast majority of people that are playing videogames are just a bunch of ignorant babies and fanboys/groupies for characters but i guess that if you sold 4 millions copies in 3 days is fair that some people will be offended and will spread just hate.

    A poco più di 7 anni dall’uscita del proprio capolavoro, Naughty Dog ci catapulta nuovamente nel mondo devastato dal Cordyceps, un fungo causa del collasso della società per come oggi la conosciamo e responsabile del deturpamento, o meglio, del ritorno allo “stato di natura” degli uomini che la componevano, eppure è proprio in un mondo come questo, “dal volto sfregiato”, spietato e buio,A poco più di 7 anni dall’uscita del proprio capolavoro, Naughty Dog ci catapulta nuovamente nel mondo devastato dal Cordyceps, un fungo causa del collasso della società per come oggi la conosciamo e responsabile del deturpamento, o meglio, del ritorno allo “stato di natura” degli uomini che la componevano, eppure è proprio in un mondo come questo, “dal volto sfregiato”, spietato e buio, che sorgono delle “luci”, segnali che forse, non tutto è perduto: sono tanti i gruppi che cercano di ricostruire il “vecchio mondo” e allo stesso modo sono diverse le comunità che cercano di ricominciare da capo, proprio come la comunità di Jackson. E’ proprio a Jackson che 7 anni fa abbiamo lasciato Ellie e Joel, esempio di come anche in un mondo in cui non si vive bensì si sopravvive, esista ancora l’amore, qui nella forma di legame fra un padre e una figlia che va ben oltre gli orrori del mondo di The Last of Us, e che ricorda che così come la cattiveria, l’egoismo, la brutalità, anche l’amore è una caratteristica intrinseca dell’uomo, che non può che emergere anche in un contesto crudele come quello dell’opera di Naughty Dog. L’idea di un sequel di The Last of Us mi ha spaventato: ho sempre ritenuto il prequel un titolo sbalorditivo in quanto metteva in gioco una potentissima componente emotiva che mai prima avevo fatto esperienza in un videogioco, attraverso una narrazione dettata dal rapido susseguirsi di eventi d’impatto, dall’approfondimento dei personaggi e dei legami fra loro, dall’analisi di temi vicini a chiunque come la perdita, il sacrificio, la paura, la fiducia, l’amore; l’idea che questa perla rara potesse essere in qualche modo “sporcata” da un gioco meno potente mi ha impaurito, ma non per questo sono mai stato scontento per il sequel: sapevo che il gioco si trovava nelle migliori mani possibili, quelle di un genitore che si prende cura del proprio figlio. Insomma, The Last of Us parte 2 si ritrova ad avere una grande responsabilità, ovvero di raggiungere o, meglio ancora superare, il gigante che lo ha preceduto, senza dimenticarsi di esso e della sua identità, di ciò che lo ha reso probabilmente, uno dei più grandi giochi degli ultimi anni. Ritengo che il gioco riesca in buona parte a svolgere il suo compito, senza però eccellere su alcuni punti come il predecessore. Sia chiaro, il gioco è il degno sequel di The Last of Us ed ha migliorato alcuni punti critici del predecessore, risultando dunque un gioco più vario, digeribile e divertente sul fronte ludico, discorso a parte va fatto per quanto riguarda la trama e il modo in cui si sviluppa, motivo di tante critiche rivolte al gioco. Giudicare un gioco profondo come The Last of Us parte 2 è difficile ed è davvero facile cadere nell’errore di giudicarlo troppo negativamente per via di alcune coraggiose scelte fatte dagli autori (se non viste e riviste attentamente dal giocatore) così come è facile dire che è perfetto quando in realtà, non lo è. E’ un gioco che fa male, che non vuole far contento nessuno, che non vuole fare politica, ma che vuole dare un’importante lezione ai giocatori facendoli riflettere su un temi ostici. Il gioco purtroppo non ha solo sulle spalle la grande responsabilità di doversi confrontare (senza però sfigurare) con il primo, ma ha anche la sfortuna di essere nato in un’epoca in cui anche un bambino stupido e capriccioso ha la possibilità di dire la sua e giudicare senza nemmeno motivare il perché delle sue parole. E’ in un mondo superficiale come il nostro, in cui le cose vengono apprezzate attraverso sterili numeri e mi piace, che un’opera così profonda e di rara bellezza ha difficoltà a germogliare e posso dire che questo gioco sia senza dubbio uno dei migliori giochi che abbia giocato negli ultimi anni. The Last of Us parte 2 non raggiunge l’intramontabile predecessore ma non per questo sfigura davanti a lui: è il gioco di cui noi giocatori avevamo bisogno, capace di mostrare il piattume generale delle persone e di dimostrare che, effettivamente, non tutti “erano pronti” a qualcosa di questo tipo. Sono triste perché non ha saputo emozionarmi come il primo (proprio perché tende invece a mettere il giocatore a disagio, in conflitto con se stesso) ma allo stesso tempo sono felice: sono felice come persona, perché sicuramente questo gioco mi ha lasciato una lezione importante, ma non sono pienamente felice in quanto fan del predecessore, perché ho visto andare in fumo ciò che avevo visto nascere anni fa e che mi aveva fatto innamorare perdutamente di quel mondo terribile. The Last of Us è come una persona a me cara, che ho imparato a conoscere e ad amare nel tempo ma che adesso, con parte 2, mi sta abbandonando prematuramente, lasciandomi amarezza e tristezza, ma allo stesso tempo con una dolce nostalgia nel cuore che mi ricorda che niente è per sempre, ma è bello finchè c’è, nonostante le avversità, comunque vadano le cose Expand

    ЭТО ДРУГАЯ ИГРА!

    Да, я начинаю сразу с самого главного.
    Друзья, Part || - это совсем другая история, другой масштаб и да, совсем другой взгляд на происходящие события. Чтобы дать оценку второй части, нельзя не упомянуть, а что было ДО.

    Если вы играли в первую часть The last of us, то знаете, что её основная тема - это любовь. Игра не оставила равнодушным никого. Душераздирающие сцены и искренние эмоции. Игра стала для многих очень личной. И поэтому вторая часть была особенно ожидаема.

    Но что-то пошло не так.
    Все очень просто - ВЫ НЕ ПОЛУЧИТЕ ТО, ЧТО ЖДЕТЕ ОТ ВТОРОЙ ЧАСТИ.
    Она не о любви.
    Она о НЕНАВИСТИ И МЕСТИ

    Разработчики приняли чрезвычайно рискованное решение. И как показывают оценки, большАя часть фанатов игры оказалась к этому решению не готова.

    А решение очень простое - дать тебе как игроку начать испытывать противоречивые эмоции. Заставлять тебя делать то, что ты не хочешь. В какой-то момент испытывать разобщённость с любимыми персонажами. Ты всеми силами этому сопротивляешься. Но ты знаешь - у тебя нет выбора. И ты идёшь дальше ...

    В какой-то момент я стала испытывать то ужасное чувство, из-за которого у многих игроков так неистово бомбит. Это разочарование (это было ненадолго).

    * НО *

    Если вы отпустите свои ожидания, если вы оставите впечатления от первой части в прошлом, а я очень рекомендую это сделать (хотя бы из уважения к колоссальному труду, проделанному над второй частью), уверяю, игра с гораздо большей вероятностью вызовет у вас положительные эмоции.

    И да, концовка не оставит равнодушным НИКОГО.
    (Игру я прошла вчера, а концовку ещё 3 раза пересмотрела, настолько она потрясающая).

    Вторая часть - чрезвычайно взрослая и эмоционально тяжёлая игра.

    Это уже не типичная линейная история.
    Это не простая мысль, которую мы понимаем в конце.

    Эта игра - совокупность сложнейших эмоций и мрачных сюжетных переплетений.

    Поэтому надо быть к этому готовым. Надо принять это как данность. Мое мнение:
    THE LAST OF US PART || - потрясающая игра. Этот опыт ни с чем не сравним. НИ С ЧЕМ!

    Игра крайне жестока к вашим чувствам и ожиданиям, но дайте себе шанс полюбить эту игру. Вы не пожалеете. P.S.

    1) Если у вас пригорает от ЛГБТ сцен, успокойтесь уже, их совсем мало и они никак не отражаются на геймплее.

    2) Игра гораздо длиннее первой части. Запаситесь терпением и свободным временем.

    3) Лично для меня игра стала страшнее. Приближающийся инфаркт был моим постоянным спутником во время прохождения игры. 4) Мне не хватило запоминающейся музыки. Я безумно люблю треки из первой части. Они сильно влияли на атмосферу. В этот раз композитор игры Густаво Сантаолалья меньше радует. Но игра от этого не хуже.

The gameplay and visuals are are second to none and graphically, I don't think we'll see better on consoles this generation. Lastly, what the story does do is give a lot of fuel to a third game and that may and probably will bring part 2 into a different light for those who are disappointed with it at this present time. It'll age well once people play through again and have time to digest and comprehend the story. It's not perfect but still a great solid entry into the series and a 9/10 for me. Expand

What 7 years of elaboration just so that we did not like it?

Everything is amazing in this game: graphics, story, gameplay, facial animations, atmosphere. The plot is very interesting and unusual. The way the developers were able to continue the story of the first part and develop it so unusually makes you clap standing up. At first, we think that Abby and her friends are enemies and villains. But then the game shows these characters from the reverse side. And it turns out that they are not so bad. By the end of the game, you even start to dislike Ellie. The finale is just gorgeous. It makes you think about everything that happened. The plot in this game is incredibly good and thoughtful. It is rare to find a game with such a story. The gameplay has not changed significantly, but it has new features. Facial animations are awesome. Summing up, I will say that absolutely all PS4 owners need to buy and pass this game.

    If you want a game that makes you think a lot, this is foy you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? Naughty Dog have not only set the bar they moved it so far it's going to be awhile before anyone can reach it! I braced myself for a horrible travesty of a game after reading the negative reactions but this game delivered everytime I turned around. The story and pacing for me were excellent.! Ellie was written perfectly and when here quest for revenge starts to eat away at her you feel it. Somewhere along the line she starts to think what am I becoming and you can tell it she is turning into someone she doesn't like. And,playing as Abby is just as powerful someone you want to hate but you're forced to see she is just a person just like Ellie who went through with her quest for revenge and learns that it wasn't worth it and didn't change anything for her. Two sides of the same coin that show revenge is never the answer especially in a world where the ultimate fight is to try to hold on to their humanity. It's not easy but sometimes the fight to stay human is the hardest one of all and this game illustrates that point perfectly! Excellent lesson for the times we live in today! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even if the story isn´t the way we expected after watching the trailers or replaying the incredible first part, The Last of Us Part II is an amazing game. The graphics, details, facial expressions and just everything is very polished. Even if the gameplay is very similar to the first one, the improvements on the AI makes it a different and more interesting challenge. As I´ve seen, the story, the decision of making almost half of the game to be played as Abby and the ending are the most disliked parts by players. But I really don´t think those decisions are bad, they make you experience the game from a new perspective to show you that there is no villain or hero in this world, just people trying to survive and hoping their loved ones survive as well.
    My only "complaint" would be that I think Abby´s part sometimes felt a little dragged and some of the characters in her side of the story weren´t really memorable, but nothing too bad or excessive, I think the ending was justified and a good way to end this story, even if it clearly isn´t a happy ending or anything close to it, since Ellie´s ending is absolutely hearth-breaking.
    This game was truly an emotional rollercoaster, filled with amazing and emotional moments that will be in my mind for a long time, as this just became one of my favorite games of all time.

    Naughty dog really didn´t lie when they said that some players would love the game and other would hate it. I guess the best way to find out i trying it out for yourself ad making your own opinion about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well. This game was a lot to digest. What an emotional rollercoaster it was. There are so many elements which make it **** awesome. The story is very well written and the flashback which explain so much about part 1 are so good to watch, after all these questions you get after part 1. It was good to know that Joel finally told Ellie the truth, as painful as it was. It was tough to watch her struggle about this. The character development of Ellie is made so well. To me it shows she is having many flaws. She needs to get revenge, even after she is spared by Abby twice, she keeps going back. It is something so stupid, but it shows about her character, how much pain she has from Joels death.
    Something else I really liked was the fact you first hate Abby, but then you gain more sympathy from her, after playing her part. This is something I didn't see in many games, only in Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, as I can remember now. It gives a very interesting twist to the good/bad side of a game.
    The character of Joel is also very well written. He has a lot of internal struggles, especially his love for ellie which even made him betray her. It is tough to see, but it really explains why he does what he does. He cares for her so much, he tries to make her have a great life, teach her guitar and all that. She is his ''new'' daughter and he doesnt want to lose one again. The only thing I don't get is why he trusted Abby, a complete stranger.

    What I also liked a lot was the intensity in some battles. Some get pretty tough and the feeling to be trapped with only 3 bullets and one bottle is quite terrifying. Especially when you are in a dark area with only infected, who are running **** fast. THe part that reaaaally gave me the creeps was abby in the basement of the hospital. It was really horrific, but I loved it so much. And all of the weapons you can use, of which the most brutal ones were definitely the pipe bombs, the trap mines and the flamethrower (so glad it returned).

    About the battles: I feel there were not as much intense battles as in part 1, since the pacing in the game is quite slow. For me, there could have been some more. However, the pacing is very important. It creates a lot of depth in the story, and it puts all the pieces of the puzzle together. I reaaally love the moment when Ellie and Joel are in the history museum. I also was blown away by the liveliness of the stadium were Abby and her group lives. And the part very high up in the sky with all the bridges, **** wonderful
    Now I am touching to another part I **** loved. The graphics and the entire atmosphere. I kept getting surprised and blown away by the tremendous detail of anything and everything. Sometimes it is only small things, a gesture, someone making a small comment, the anxiety, fear or anger in the characters face and body language. I loved the fact how much despair and anger there was in ellies face. Theres not much happiness in her, but this is not strange if you look at what happened to her.

    Some things that I didnt like: sometimes you are walking around for ages trying to figure out what you have to do. It is kind of frustrating. However, it could also be just me. Some battles are designed kind of poorly, for example the one with the sniper, it is so easy to get hit and there not that much fun in playing this battle, since the best way is to stay in the back all the time. Some melee combats with these ''smart'' infected, as well as the combats between ellie and abby are very unsatifying and somewhat frustrating. THe only skill you learn is how to press the right buttons at the right time, instead of having a proper battle. What put me off as well is the repetition and somewhat unbelievabilty of the story. There is really not a lot of variation in the battles. And revenge as the primary motif in this game gets kind of hard to believe. People risking their lifes over and over again to kill 1 person. And Abby saving some strangers and even risking her life to get medical supplies in the darkest place of a hospital gets kind of unbelievable as well. Even more that she betrays her whole faction which is suicide anyway. I just don get it. The only valid reason for her to break the rules is to rescue her boyfriend. But thats all. The environment and the intense moments make up for this to some extent. But sometimes it really felt they only made you play a section because it is epic to play, rather than contributing to the story.

    A final thing I loved a lot is the dark, depressing vibe in the whole game. Sure, I didnt like Joels death at all. But this whole world is **** up anyway. It is not a fairytale. The story is not made primarily for the player to play what is happy and satisfying for them. People die, people do **** up things, people get twisted minds and all that. But they keep going. That what I loved about part 1 and about part 2 as well.

    All in all a game that gripped me from beginning to end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A divisive game for sure, but one that possibly deserves every bit emotion it generates. This is a story of vengeance and loss that affects not only the characters but the player themselves.

    From the beginning we are presented with the hardest truth a fan of the first game must realize: Joel has been tortured and killed, viciously and unapologetically, in front of Ellie. The trauma from this event scars her, but it also scars us. We feel the anger and hatred because Joel was important to us. The first game cemented our connection, ND being amazing at what they do, and they use that to elicit the kind of emotions they want from you. In this case legitimately feeling revenge and hate was the point. To make you ACTUALLY feel. This game was designed to be terrible and sad and feeling these things proves that the developers succeeded in their goals.

    Gameplay and mechanics are essentially a given at this point, again masters of their craft, so the story is the only thing left to even consider. The grief and hurt from these events are channeled into the game, pushing you to find Abby and make her pay for what she's done. Make some sense of the callous and quick nature of the murder of a beloved father figure. We want to make the pain go away. We need to deal with the grief.

    But that grief is never resolved. Revenge never truly sated. The reality of the futility of the pursuit of vengeance crystallized in a way I've never seen before. It is an experience you don't often get to have and it's told in a way that respects and reinforces the connections made in the first game.

    Play this yourself. Get angry. FEEL. And take in the beautiful tragedy. One of the most thought-provoking and visceral games I have EVER played. Thank you Naughty Dog, you bastards.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t listen to the beta male haters of this game. They made it their mission to review bomb a game that most of them didn’t even play. They watched the spoilers and got butt hurt that Joel died. And their homophobic lgbtq nonsense just adds to their lack of any kind of meaningful insight to the game. That being said, this game is amazing. If you loved the first game and fully understood its themes, you’ll love this game. It’s beautifully done. Not only the graphics, music and gameplay, but also the story. This game will make you truly “feel” what’s going on inside these characters. I was fully ready to hate Abby for what she did to Joel. But after completing this game, I grew to understand why she did what she did. And although I wish I still would’ve had the option to kill her, I understand why ND wrote the story in this way. Abby arguably lost more than Ellie ever did. Abbys story is essentially the same as Ellie’s, just from her own perspective. Joel deserved to die. If you truly believe that Ellie deserved vengeance, than you can’t logically think that Abby should’ve been denied hers. Abby spent 4 years training for her mission to find Joel, and it shows in her physique. Much like an MMA fighter. Again, my only regret is not getting the option to kill Abby. Although ND made me empathize with her, I’ll always be loyal first to Joel and Ellie. Expand

    1 . The gameplay kinda is the same the whole game with fewer enemy types and few new weapons...it also feels a little repetitive.
    2.the story is bold so it might be devisive and the transition from Ellie to Abby feels bad and leaves u disconnected
    Overall you all can surely experience this game And it's games like this which we see once in a lifetime so don't miss it.

But it is every ounce the narrative and character masterpiece of its predecessor.
    This is the next chapter of the story. This is what happens. Quite possibly the unabashed unapologetic end. For better and for worse. Love it or hate 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.
