I can not argue with all the (industry) critics rating this game a 5/5 or 10/10.

    To the people who jumped on the bandwagon bad mouthing this game since the leaks came out: Put aside all your biased opinions and play this game with an open mind.

    I just hope that Neil Druckmann will define the success of the game not by local estimates, but by sales. And all this nonsense will not affect him, and he will continue to create the games like this one. Best game I've played in years. Neil, just do it. Sorry my bad English, but l know you understand that i try to say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly don’t get the negativity behind this game, I’ve just finished playing and honestly, I cried many manly tears. When Joel died the way he did I was angry, sad and just confused, I didn’t know how to react and seeing Ellie just as this broken girl trying to grieve the passing of the only father figure she had in her life was truly heartbreaking to watch and play through.

    The character development in this game is amazing because I went from hating Abby and the rest of the members of the knockoff Fireflies to actually liking them and hating the fact that they died, it’s safe to say playing this game is probably what it feels to have Bipolar, one minute I’m sad, one minute I’m happy and the next I’m pissed off by something that’s happened.

    I almost lobbed my controller when Abby shot Tommy, I honestly thought she killed him, and I wasn’t ready for that to happen, not quite yet anyways.

    I want to talk about the ending as that’s where people seem to be annoyed about the most which honestly I can kind of understand but the way I look at it is this, Ellie has lost everything, she has lost friends, she has lost her family, she has lost everything and now she is alone, I feel like she realised that she related to Abby at that moment when she was drowning her at sea and it was at that point Ellie simply, gave up. She saw that she would be no better than Abby in that situation, and I honestly love that ending, I would love to be able to play as Abby again if there is a third game which I honestly hope that’s there is. They left the game on a (somewhat) cliffhanger, Ellie arrives back home to find out that Dina has up and left with little baby JJ. I want to know what happens next and I hope I don’t have to wait 7 years to find out!

    Well, The Last of Us Part II is not the most important game in the franchise, nor is it a revolutionary game at its base or in its gameplay.

But everything he promised, he fulfills with wisdom and still being better than expected, such as: Beautiful graphics and full of details, as well as the effect of blood, animations, footprints in the mud, water, facial expressions, in the setting (giving the impression that this has really been abandoned for years). His story, which is actually very good, is also courageous, giving a great twist at the end, giving several life lessons and also approaching the point of view of some characters since in the game we control more than one character. It also brings striking scenes and emotions with very impactful deaths. Another thing I liked was that the game got bloodier and more realistic, addressing heavy topics (such as pregnancy, revenge, grief, loss and insanity). Speaking of gameplay, it is not very different from the first one and as I said up there "it is not revolutionary", but it still has some small improvements. Another positive point is that the places were more open, with stores with intensity that can help you. Containing parallel stories that even connect with events. The only thing that took some of my immersion out of the game was the artificial intelligence that is still kind of stupid compared to the first but that's it Besides, the game is incredible and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had in the gaming world.

    In a world without Part 1 it's a solid 10. But this story… I don't know, I can't say it's perfect. Even at Ghost of Tsushima revenge story is better than here. But everything else is great. Visual part (not good in the beginning, but starts to shine later on), music, a lot of tiny details makes this game one of the best at this generation. But again, not perfect

    The ugly side of gamers turn their head once again. They can't handle a lesbian protagonist so they find every possible excuse the reviewbomb this awesome game. (Not saying all of you who gave this game a bad score did this because of this reason). I for one finished it and thought it was really good. Better than the first one? I'm not sure but certainly close.

    The game is all about forgiveness, and realising that maybe, you're not always correct and on the right side.
    It's true it isn't all about fun in this game, but it's about the immersive and sometimes terrifying journey you enter on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First things first, for me this is a 9 for reasons I'll explain later, but given the score bombing I feel compelled to give it a 10. By the way, if my English is not perfect, I am sorry, but it is not my first language. Well, what do I begin with? Graphics are great and the gameplay is pretty much the same from the original The Last of Us, which means that it is good. In my own experience, regarding the gameplay, I missed some diversity, because at some point killing infecteds and humans in stealthy mode got repetitive, but I must say that I never got bored. Having said this, let's go to the core of this game, the story.

    Some spoilers are coming up, so please do not read any further if you want to stay "virgin". The plot of the game is not too complicated and nor was the plot of the previous game. Joel and Ellie live in Jackson, where we left them at the end of The Last of Us, when a bunch of guys coming from who knows where, show up and kill Joel, apparently for something he did in the past although we do not know exactly the actual reason. These guys spared Elllie's life, but she decides to seek vengeance and follows Joel's brother, Tommy, who has already departed tracking the trail of Joel's murderers to Seattle. In this journey, she is accompanied by her girlfriend, Dina and, some time later, by a friend from Jackson called Jessie. And this is pretty much the first half of the game, Ellie, killing anyone on her way to the final executioner of Joel, a girl called Abby. During this fragment of the game we experience how Ellie grows darker and darker consumed by revenge and guilt. She feels guilty because, as we know through some flashbacks, she had a difficult relationship with Joel once she learned that he rescued her from the fireflies at the expense of the cure and the never reconciled afterwards. And the storytelling of the game would be horrible if the story stopped there, but it didn't. Once we finally find Abby, the game goes back in time and now we control Abby. We learn that she had some reasonable motives to kill Joel, basically he spoiled the cure and killed her father, and we find out that besides killing our beloved hero from the first game she is a pretty fine person. Actually, her quest is a story of redemption by saving the lives of two kids escaping from a dreary cult, the Seraphites, that is at war with Abby's group, WLF, and this will eventually make her fight against her own people.

    So by the end of the game we find Ellie and Abby wanting to kill each other while, we, as players, want exactly the opposite. We want Ellie to stop plunging into darkness and we want Abby to complete her quest of redemption by escorting the surviving Seraphite kid, Lev, to a safe place. And this is the magic of this game. In the first half they want us to seek for revenge and enjoy killing all of the people we find on our way. It is true that at some instances I did not want to be as cruel as the game wanted me to be, but I basically wanted to kill all of that people. But then, the game changes the perspective, now you play the role of your former victims and find that they are not the monsters you imagined, now you start to wonder whether what you have done is all right to the point that by the end of Abby's quest I just wanted to escape and avoid any killing if possible because I was fed up with so much violence. I no longer wanted to be part of it. And such feeling is only possible through videogames, a movie cannot make you feel the same since you are not playing the role of any character. This feeling, in my opinion, is the very core of the The Last of Us II experience and it was an experience that totally paid off.

    Regarding the polemic about gay characters.... Some people have a problem. I know that some recent movies and games are too focused on delivering a so called liberal message rather than telling a good story, but this is not the case. First, because, as I already explained, this is a good story and second because the sexual orientation of some characters is anecdotal and completely irrelevant for what the creators are trying to tell us. I mean, of course, you can create a great work focused on this topic, but this was not even the intention in this game. Ellie being gay is irrelevant for the story and if you have a problem with her being gay it is your problem not the game's.

    In conclusion, I do recommend this game, maybe it is not perfect and maybe its message will not reach every player with the same force it reached me, but if it does, you will really enjoy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterpiece, and I don't have words to express my feelings about the entire experience I've during the story. Half of the community hated the game only because of Joel's death, forgetting about the cruel word they live and ANY character can possibly die from many ways. Besides that, the game itself is dark and I understand the feeling of "It should not be ended in this way", but there's no way to bring Joel back, making the decision of revenge a stupid action, since Abby is trying to redeem herself by saving Lev, being stopped by the tenacity of Ellie when she remember about Joel. Nobody is a "hero" in this world, you need to pay attention to all the details in this game to understand this. For example: All NPCs have names and their friends and allies have interaction with their deaths; You can see the peaceful vision that Abby have about this world, turning against the Wolves and saving two Scars from their death. She don't want to be part of a meaningless genocide of people that are trying to survive against the Infected. The conflict between Wolves and Scars only resulted in several deaths of innocents, like the chase of Ellie to kill Abby, killing a pregnant woman and his boyfriend. To understand the feeling of the game, you need to feel empathy for Abby, because her dad was killed by Joel, making him the villain of HER story. We interact with two stories at same time, and no one wins in the ending, making Ellie alone. The LGBT details in the map are kinda random, but it doesn't matter to the story after all, and the part o Lev being a trans man to avoid the situation of many womans in their tribe is very impactful, showing hope for kindness and love aside hate and death towards their people.

Story tackles complex & thought provoking issues, challenged my biases & perspective & made me feel a wide range of intense emotions. ND took a big narrative risk with their vision but managed to tell a story that was true to the characters & the world they inhabit. Gameplay is vastly improved & super fun. The more open world structure encourages exploration & allows each encounter to be approached using a variety of different strategies. This is a massive game, twice the length of the 1st with stunningly realistic & crazy detailed graphics, & that very natural character dialogue & mo-cap facial expressions which we come to expect from ND. My only criticism was that certain sections of the game felt a bit long & stretched out, leaving me exhausted & hoping for a bit of reprieve. Though it’s likely this was their intention. One of the best analogies I’ve heard comparing each game is that the 1st ends with hope on the surface but a sense of misery underneath whereas this ends with misery on the surface but a sense of hope underneath. Just as part 1 was to PS 3, this game is the very best of this gen of consoles, it has excellent replay value & will stay in your heart & mind long after you finish it. Expand

The story blends in the gameplay and thats how you feel the story telling even better than in most recent games. The music is so well done and the acting the is nothing like this in any game. You can really feel the characters emotions. Most games its just gameplay and than simple cheap acting story momentsabd back to gameplay again but here it blends in while your playing and offcourse there a longer cut scenes. I love how you can feel a different between playing against humans or the creatures. Sometimes it feels repetitive but lets be honest here what game doesn’t ? But because of the change of area’s, characters, story you stay in the game and the story. I can understand that a lot of people don’t agree with the choices in the story. I kinda like what they did with the characters to play both sides and kinda understand why someone acts like that. I find it sad that the comments are negative like this cause that means future developers not gonna take a risk like this. And we will get the same basic simple Standaard storyline, Hero vs Bad guy But this is all my opinion and I respect everyone’s opinion. I loved it and hope the will keep on making games like this.

I don't get any of the complaints about the game being ruined by SJWs — and I'm one of the ones who thought Rian Johnson's SJW masterpiece Episode VIII was a pile of hot garbage, even if it succeeded in subverting my expectations of an enjoyable sci-fi action film.

    There's no trans character either, what on earth is anyone talking about? Yeah Abby is pretty buff and has masculine features, but it's by no means outlandish, I mean Ellie is buff as hell too, she's just petite. I mean, just look at actual women around you some day. She's very realistic looking, unlike the disaster character models in, say, Bioware or Bethesda games. Ellie being a lesbian was already in TLOU1's expansion, and since they ripped off Ellen Page's likeness, who came out as a lesbian after the first game came out, it doesn't seem particularly out of place or agenda-pushing to have that included in this game since it's about a what, 18-20 year old protagonist? It's not like it's a particularly important element of the game either, so if that offends you, that's kind of ironic since it makes -you- the little snowflake.

    Yes Ellie is the main character of the story and not Joel, that's not a surprise, literally all the promotional material for years was saying this would be Ellie's story. I found all the dialogue and characters' actions to be internally consistent and rational. Yes their actions are often kind of stupid and emotionally-driven, but that makes perfect sense for the setting.

    Kind of suspicious how many of the 0 star reviews came out on Jun 19 or 20 considering it takes at least 20 hours to beat it even if you're speeding through on easy.

    Isn’t this what we all search for? Why we read books or play games? To be immersed in a good story?(and i don’t mean happy ending kind of story - you can watch cartoons or read summer romance books if you are after that) A story, the way the author envisioned it, might not go the way we want it always but we need to appreciate a masterpiece! You will not regret playing this game or spending money on it. Even if just for the amazing life-like scenery created by the graphics engine. The story is made so it stirs emotions in you, and it will not let you down either.
    I do suggest you do not rush this game. I believe a huge portion of the reviews were rushed in a frenzy to be the first ones to comment and review it. Enjoy the game, it’s not made to be a competition of who finishes it faster. Give yourself time to process the emotions that you will feel through the story. You are mad because the story didn’t go your way, or happy because it did - pause it for a few hours, go enjoy the feelings this amazing game can stir in you! Don’t drink it all in one go like some cheap wine getting drunk and blaming your hangover on it. This game is like a great wine that is better drank with moderation to be able to fully savor the taste and emotions.

    PS: if you are emotionally unstable and insecure about your manhood that a female only protagonist can cause such rage and hatred maybe you have bigger problems in your life than worrying about a game. Just saying.

No me malinterpreten, a mi también me molestó, pero no por eso le daré una nota que no corresponde. Porque la parte de ella si es importante para la historia y para lo que nos querían mostrar, tiene un montón de riquezas que no puedo obviar. Aunque igualmente soy partidario de que lo que nos mostraron con Abby, pudo haber sido perfectamente desarrollado con Ellie. Eso es lo que más me molesto, porque yo quería jugar con Ellie, quería que ella fuera mi protagonista, que ella sea la que recuerde en un futuro, y casi me dejo llevar por esos sentimientos, ya que al terminar el juego, no le daba mas de un 7, pero al ver las cosas en frío y al intentar reflexionar sobre todos los tópicos que nos quisieron mostrar, me di cuenta que la nota es de por lo menos un 9. Yo no soy ningún sabio como para hacer una mega reflexión, si no que es algo que puede hacer cualquiera, y al hacer eso, me di cuenta de todas las riquezas que tiene este juego al abrir por completo su envoltorio. Luego de terminar el juego, siento que la percepción de este cambia para mejor, por todo lo que ya dije. Ya para finalizar, yo venía a colocarle un 9, pero al ver la nota que tenía me sorprendí, y siento que tiene un montón de notas bajas que son injustas, porque de verdad, lo mínimo que se le puede colocar a este juego es un 7 si es que no te gusto la narrativa o la historia, porque en todo lo otro es sin duda un sobresaliente, es por eso que dejo mi 10, como un poco para compensar lo injusto que fueron algunos con este juego.

    Truly amazing use of video games as a storytelling medium. This studio is really pushing on games as an art form and what can be achieved with it that cannot be achieved through other mediums. My only critique is that sometimes the mechanics weren't fully aligned with the narrative experience, but all in all this was a minor issue. A powerful and fascinating game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best game I have ever played, the graphics are amazing, the animations and realism of the gameplay are just mind-blowing, the combat system, dodging, the AI, it's just tremendous. However, almost everyone didn't seem to like the story. I believe it is because they didn't understand it as it actually is.

    Most people hate it because Joel dies and Ellie doesn't kill Abby. First of all, every human being dies at some point, people have to accept that, also the average life expectancy in the US is around 72 years, so obviously in a post-apocalyptic world, the average life expectancy would lower down a lot, which means Joel was supposed to die around his age. My point is even if Abby didn't exist, Joel was anyway gonna die (plus characters always wonder if they're going to die from old age, because it is very improbable).

    In addition, the fact that the predecessor's doctor NPC was Abby's father, doesn't mean it's the only reason Joel was killed, Abby wasn't alone on her quest for vengeance, everyone wanted him dead because he made the worst decision ever made in the entire world (literally). About Ellie not killing Abby at the end, there are many reasons. 1- Ellie couldn't sleep anymore, she always had the memory of Joel dying, she couldn't even hunt (this is when the birthday gift part becomes important, when she finds the boar in the museum). So she went to Santa Barbara and when she's going to kill her, she finally remembers Joel playing the guitar, Ellie finally calmed her consciousness and stopped thinking about him only because of the fact that he died, but because of how he was. Then, she realizes there's no point on keep destroying that woman, so she lets her go.

    2- (This is my personal interpretation) Ellie didn't kill Abby because she saw herself in Lev, she knew that by killing Abby, she would be, in a way, killing Joel.
    The game makes you not only understand that Abigail is a good person, but to comprehend the Mother figure she is to Lev. She was there when he losed his mom, she was there when he loses his sister and his home, she understood he wanted to be a boy, she all he had, and he was all she had too (after losing the love of her life, his girlfriend + future son + dog, her friend group and her home, the WLF).
    So Ellie realized she was the villain of the story, and allowed her to leave with Lev.

    I also wanted to emphasize the fact that, in the beginning of the game, when you just get to know Abby, after killing Joel, she gave me that feeling I got when I argued with my dad, that threatening sensation that would send shivers down my spine, I would cringe with my arms to the sound of her voice, I was totally scared (you can see that when she asks Ellie to toss her weapon and she does it while shaking). Even in the Tracking Lessons chapter when she throws a stone to her father, I could feel that fear even though she was a child there, but when I got to know her better through her gameplay, that disappeared, I had totally empathized with her. There are people who say they didn't stop seeing her as a villain (I thought that myself) but you actually do, you just don't realize it in the process.

    I personally believe this game recquires a high level of maturity and analysis to understand, as a big percentage of the gamer community is conformed by underage people (or even 10 year old children), it is probable that the majority don't get to comprehend it. Nevertheless, this game is still one of the greatest games ever made, I would call it "The ‘Pulp Fiction’ of games".

    You dont get this type of games often
    I mean its the last of us, its a cruel **** world.
    You can’t deny the effort they put making this game, the details and grafics are astonishing and the gameplay is almost flawless.
    Yes, I finished the game and I felt emotionally drained. There isnt other game that had me feel anything as TLOUS saga has ever done, its an eye-opening **** game too. I agree Abby deserved to die in that **** beach, but it wasn’t our call to make but Ellie’s. If you have any love for the TLOUS, at least respect Ellie’s decission. And I dont **** care what you say. Ellie got her revenge at the end, goddammit I wanted Abby dead too. But Ellie killed everyone close to **** Abby. Thinking it twice, I don’t dislike the idea that Abby’s life will be full with of regret and torment on what she has **** done.

    Just remeber there isn’t any exclusive **** game from other console franchise that can top the story of the last of us.

    Because of you people **** around is why we dont **** get good games anymore, stop throwing **** to naughtydog, or don’t tell you want another pointless shooter game as halo 8.

    !!SPOILERS!!



    Everyone is hating on the death of one character but the whole premise of the game is revenge without the death what reason would there be for any of the events in the game.

    I get everyone loves the character and I do too but I think the game does real justice to that character by paying tribute to them with thew flashback bits.

    I loved this game. I've never written a review for anything before. Not a yelp review, or an amazon purchase, nothing at all. But this game. My god. I honestly don't know where to begin.

    I loved this game. I've never written a review for anything before. Not a yelp review, or an amazon purchase, nothing at all. But this game. My god. I honestly don't know where to begin.

    I would be lying if I said that I wasn't disheartened when I found out people were bombing this game on review sites, in some cases before people had a chance to even play the game out in its entirety. And I suppose that's partly why I'm writing this, but I digress. Let's get into it.

    I loved TLOU, and I can honestly say that TLOU2 was even better. Make no mistake; I was pissed when the anti-hero was initially introduced and did the deed that must not be named. I put down my controller after it happened and contemplated whether or not I even wanted to continue playing. But I'm so happy that I did.

    Naughty dog takes you on a journey in this game, one in which you start off absolutely despising a character, and initially you feel that this hatred is wholly justifiable. You want them dead, and by Ellie's hands no less. Or maybe you feel like it should never have happened in the first place, that it was just a trite plot point intended to illicit superficial emotions that doesn't make sense or go anywhere. I know I did. I couldn't see how naughty dog could redeem this character, ease the pain of what happened, or in any way provide some kind of resolution that would be satisfying enough. But the story goes on, whether you want it to or not. And boy does naughty dog deliver.

    I don't want to spoil anything so i'll try my best to be vague, but the journey you go on with Ellie and her nemesis breaks you. Like, it seriously messes you up. The supporting cast is brilliant, each serving as not just a means to further the plot, but to also change and help develop the main characters' psyches in a way that doesn't feel forced or superfluous. And I appreciated the diversity. I'm not straight, or white, and it was nice to see some representation. I NEED to stress, however, that I never felt like it was heavy handed, or put in the game just to appease the SJW's or whatever. They served a purpose, supporting the main characters growth, allowing them to see that the world isn't black and white (no racial pun intended).

    Both of the main characters are instinctive, their decisions often rash and fueled by revenge, and it takes time for them to realize that the path they tread on may not lead them to where they want to go. They make mistakes, they falter, but you root for them - both of them - because you genuinely care for them. You mourn with them when they suffer loss, and you cheer for them when they overcome the most dangerous obstacles. These characters are not coins with only two sides. They're multifaceted, complex characters that yank you from both arms and don't let go until you're emotionally exhausted. Eventually, the lines blur. Who is really in the wrong here? Is there even a "right"?

    This is where I throw my hands up in praise for naughty dog. They shove you into a long, painful, beautiful, traumatic, heartstring-pulling journey, and just when you think there can't be any more to it, they shank you and then quickly patch you up for some more. This game was an emotional journey, one I couldn't stop thinking of for weeks after I had finished it. I'm almost ready for a replay, maybe in a few weeks.

    Finally, a few words on the cinematography and gameplay: gorgeous and fluid. That's all. Play this game. Keep an open mind. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

The graphics where absolutely stunning Played this later than most people had too swerve every spoiler. While trying to read how people felt about it, it was emotional thought Joel's death was the most heartbreaking as I did not expect it to be so brutal, hating abby for what she did and theoretically killing Joel myself with how I controlled abby into meeting up with joel.
    But thought I felt Ellie in her journey and when I thought it was over it was abbys turn to show me her side of the story wow id never fought id understand what she had gone through. Even to the point where I was like " Ellie don't leave your family to get her just settle down now its what joel would of wanted" The story on the whole was no where near the same as the first TLOU but thats because they both had two different emotions behind them. Id love to replay this game but joels death was to heartbreaking maybe one day when I can let it sink in,really was an emotional ride I felt for each character and there journeys.

You have to play the game to form your opinion. The players who are dissapointed by the game are not seeing the whole picture, they are just carried away with feeling of taking revenge. But if see the whole scenario it was the best thing that Ellie could do. You should definitely give it a try because it's worth a shot, even if don't like the story a lot (if you are too carried away), you will definitely like the Gameplay, the graphics, the sound effects and every other aspect of the game and yeah the accessibility of the game is fab you can customise almost every bit of the game, from the shape of the retical to the health and intelligence of the enemies. And also the weapon upgrade scenes are very fascinating. Do consider this review. Thank you for your time for reading. HAPPY GAMING!! Expand

    If you want the story to be like the first game, than go to play the first game! If you only want a developer that goes all "fan service" than it's not the right game for you; just go play some game with a simple storyline like GoT, got it?
    Anyway, this is game of the year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you peel yourself away from expectation and entitlement and just go along for the ride It is a great game. People say that joel and Ellies characters don't feel authentic but survivors guilt has eaten away at Ellie for years. The killing of certain characters brutally is in line with the world that we have previously been introduced to. People are annoyed because now it applies to their favourite characters too. If you want a Holywood, 'everything ends wonderfully game dont buy this. If you want an unapologetic look into the reality of the world presented and can appreciate more neaunced story telling wuth genuine heart and feel and arnt just looked to be triggered by anything that is presented to you (entitiled) then you will see what a masterpiece this game is Expand

    Я не знаю о чём думали те, кто в порыве гнева ставили единицы игре. Одумайтесь и подумайте головой. Посморите на сюжет по взрослому. В эту игру вложены какие то нечеловеческие труды.

    Simply one of the best games I have ever played in my life. Naughty dog really knows how to tell a story. I strongly recommend to play, but you have got to be with your heart opened to understand.

    Лучше этой игры просто нет. Сюжет пробивает на самые разные эмоции, давно не испытывал подобных ощущений от игры. Многие недовольны развязкой игры, но как по мне все логично. Касательно ЛГБТ повестки в игре скажу так, кто ищет тот всегда найдет.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece. I hated that Joel died, but with what he did at the hospital. Especially with Abby, it makes sense why he did die. The world is gorgeous as hell. The character relationships (like Joel and Ellie, Ellie and Dina and Abby and Lev) are fantastic. The infected is still incredible like the Rat King is INSANE!! The new enemy types are amazing. I love the Scar brutes, the guard dogs. I love that Ellie is much more faster and agile than Joel in TLOU Part 1. The combat is brutsl and I love it. Even though people hate Abby for what she did to Joel, I love her character and her story Expand

    Like almost everyone else, I’m a huge fan of the first game. I’m also a huge fan of Part 2 and I hope there somehow ends up being a Part 3. TLOU2 is incredible on all counts. It’s fun to play; it’s intense, dark, brutal and beautiful. The graphics and gameplay are evermore improved on the first game. The music is intense and I’ve found myself listening to the soundtrack on repeat whichLike almost everyone else, I’m a huge fan of the first game.

This story puts you through the emotional ringer, but the ride getting there is intense and scary as hell. I highly recommend this game if you go into it with an open mind and just be part of the experience. Expand

    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]
