    This is an amazing game and a worthy sequel. I have very few problems with it, and it definitely deserved all the awards it got.

    This game is a masterpiece. If this was a movie, in my opinion it would be Oscar deserving. But this is not just a movie, here you are not just watching the protagonists doing good and horrible deeds, YOU are.
    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love. Unfortunately not everyone fells good whenever a medium tries (and    This game is a masterpiece. If this was a movie, in my opinion it would be Oscar deserving.

    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love. Unfortunately not everyone fells good whenever a medium tries (and manages) to challenge their most deep feelings, as you can see from the number of negative review (5.7 is ridiculous). An interestingly high number of this negative reviews are partisan stances against the "politically correct storyline", I imagine because it features strong women with normal-sized breasts and diverse sexual orientations. You know, like in the real world.
    Circling back to the game, everything is outstanding: the graphics, the sound design, the level design. The acting is amazing and really drives the story (both motion capture acting scenes and the voice over). The music is great as in Part I.
    But the overall attention to details is in my opinion what keep everything together, what makes this game a work of art.

    The downside is that I'm sure it will be difficult to find another game to enjoy as much as I enjoyed The Last of Us Part II. I believe it ruined videogames for me, in some wonderful way. But I'm also sure that this game will push the boundary even further, and I can't wait for that.

    In the meantime, give yourself a favour: play The Last of Us and then The Last of Us Part II. If during the game your feeling will hurt it means that it's working, and that you do have feelings: it's good to exercise them, it helps you to grow into a more complete version of yourself.    … Expand

    Das Spiel wird von vielen ja gehasst,    Ganz ehrlich ich schäme mich für die Community, die diesem Spiel einen userscore von 5.7 gegeben haben, TLOU 2 ist nach Uncharted 4 mein absolutes Lieblings Spiel, die knapp 30 Stundenlange Story wird zu keinem Zeitpunkt langweilig, die Charaktere sind wie von Naughty Dog gewohnt unfassbar gut geschrieben und auch die Grafik kann absolut überzeugen.
    Das Spiel wird von vielen ja gehasst, weil sie mit dem Weg den die Story schon ganz am Anfang geht nicht klar kommen, aus Spoilern Gründen möchte ich dazu nichts sagen, es sei aber so viel gesagt, es ist schon gleich in der 1. Stunde des Spiels ein absoluter Herzzerreißender Twist, den ich nicht kommen habe sehen und den ich persönlich sehr gut gelungen fand und das geht die nächsten Stunden genauso weiter, jede weitere Stunde, die man Allys Rachefeldzug spielt denkt man immer weiter nach, ob das hier überhaupt sein muss und ich habe mich immer wieder mit dem Gedanken erwischt, ob Ally wirklich die Heldin in diesem Spiel sei, ich mir aber auch immer eingeredet habe, das das wohl noch in Ordnung sei, bios das Spiel am ende nochmal eine Kehrtwende macht, auch darüber möchte ich nicht viel verraten, aber jeder Schritt den du danach gehst wird dir von den Entwicklern aufgezwungen, du bis nur noch Zuschauer, eines Erlebnisses das du nicht mitansehen möchtest, einem Erlebnis das du nicht erleben möchtest und das soll nicht heißen, das dass Spiel plötzlich schlecht würde, im Gegenteil ab diesem Zeitpunkt kommt die größte Stärke des Spiels zum Vorschein, denn ab diesem Zeitpunkt ist Ally nicht mehr die Heldin und ihr könnt nicht mehr vertreten, was sie macht, aber ihr müsst es eben trotzdem machen, was wirklich zu sehr starken Momenten führt.

    Ich hoffe die Review war nicht zu verwirrend, ich habe versucht dieses grandiose Spielgefühl zu beschrieben, ohne das ich auch nur eine Sekunde der Story Spoilern muss, weil das einfach jeder Gamer selbst erleben sollte.
    Abschließend sei gesagt, dieses Spiel ist ein absolutes Meisterwerk und gehört in jedes Gaming Regal, egal ob virtuell, oder physisch und zu den 66.000 Menschen, die dieses Spiel schlecht bewertet haben, sei nur gesagt: entweder ihr habt einfach keine Ahnung, oder ihr habt tatsächlich eines der besten Spiele aller Zeiten nur wegen eines Story Strangs, den ihr als Entwickler vielleicht nicht gewählt hätte tot zu haben.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jamás entenderé el hate que tiene este juego por la historia. Naugthy Dog nos pone en el papel de Ellie y Abby para que veamos ambos bandos, para que nos demos cuenta de que no hay nadie bueno, que las venganzas de Abby y Ellie solo han traido desgracias, de que las acciones de Joel en el TLOU1 tienen muchas consecuencias, de que la muerte de Joel es dramática que es lo que necesita la historia, no hace falta que sea heroica.
    La historia de Abby con Lev en este juego es muy parecida a la de Joel con Ellie en el 1, matando gente de su propio clan para salvar a esa persona.
    En el final del juego, en la batalla final, Ellie deja escapar a Abby porque se da cuenta de que no va a solucionar nada de hecho lo ha empeorado todo, cuando vuelve a la granja y Dina no esta y ni siquiera puede recordad a Joel porque ya no puede tocar la guitarrra por la perdida de sus dedos.
    En lo narrativo es espectacular, otra cosa es que te de pena como acaba la historia de los personajes pero que te entristezca o te de rabia no significa que sea malo, sino todo lo contrario.

    En cuanto a jugabilidad es prácticamente igual que el 1, con ciertas mejoras, el modo sigilo si me hubiese gustado que hubiesen implementado mas cosas.
    En gráficos y sonido es brillante el juego.
    La Ia me parece muy buena y un acierto el sentimiento de rabia o tristeza cada vez que uno de esos npcs que matas es encontrado por otro compañero, porque buscas venganza por lo de Joel pero para esa gente el que has matado podria ser un Joel para ellos y te das cuenta que utilizando la venganza estas cometiendo las mismas maldades que ellos han hecho antes y Joel hizo anteriormente tambien.
    En definitiva, no entiendo las notas negativas por la narrativa, son de gente que no lo han entendido o son demasiado fanboys del 1 o de Joel como para darse cuenta de la obra maestra que tienen delante.

    Chapo Naugthy Dog, pero tambien decir que si haces un juego con la historia que me has contado en esta segunda parte, con el mensaje que quiere transmitir de la crueldad que hay en cada muerte de todos los personajes que haces, no puedes hacer un juego donde el prota se cargue cientos de npcs sin remordimientos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 tells a dark, brutal story about the parallel and ultimately converging paths of two young women discovering the consequences of letting revenge consume them. Players are immersed through gorgeously rendered cutscenes with brilliant cinematography and satisfying, varied gameplay greatly improved from that of TLOU1.

    We begin in the perspective of Ellie, now a young adult. Her relationship with Joel is strained, and we learn why through emotional cutscenes and flashback gameplay as she’s forced to uncover the truth and consequences of Joel’s actions in TLOU1. We see how Joel was changed by his love and admiration for Ellie, transforming from a hollow shell into a protective parent who regains hope and purpose. We glimpse their lives in the community of Jackson, where trust and compassion rather than force and brutality are the prevailing rules. These factors ultimately explain the events leading to the violent killing of Joel, viewed in excruciatingly impactful detail by both Ellie and the player.

    This is juxtaposed with the history and experiences of main antagonist Abby, who due to Joel’s choices became traumatised her intimate knowledge of her father’s murder and the robbery of humanity’s only known hope for a cure. In an unexpected twist, the second half of the game is played from Abby’s perspective, during which she is greatly humanized, and the full impact of Ellie’s vengeful actions is realized. Abby’s growth is demonstrated as she struggles to move beyond her dark past. A tragic and terrifying story of revenge and redemption is thus told, with both women ultimately losing everything and everyone that mattered to them.

    The arc concludes in a heart-breaking fight to the death between these two emotionally and physically broken characters that we’ve come to understand and care for. At last, Ellie’s memory of her last conversation with Joel – one exemplifying forgiveness – coupled with the realisations that she’s killing the very thing that made her someone Joel cherished, and that Abby is needed just like Joel was, gives her the perspective necessary to begin letting go.

    A first of its kind, the storytelling of TLOU2 allows the player to experience and then later confront and condemn their own justifications for Ellie’s revenge mission. The player first shares her feelings and motivations, then through Abby is made to feel the devastating impact of Ellie and Joel's choices. PTSD and the lingering effects of trauma are accurately and respectfully depicted through intense scenes brimming with emotion and imagery. The characters feel unique and real, with their evolving personalities and decisions justified by their histories, relationships, and experiences – comprising love, fear, fury, regret, and more. The narrative of TLOU2 is one of the most well-written and memorable stories of our time, proving that writing for games needn’t be shallow, predictable or tropey.

    Whether it’s ruined buildings overrun by infected, overgrown cities patrolled by hostile humans, or settlements where people are attempting to survive and rebuild, TLOU2’s environments always impress. These highly realistic settings are packed with detail, and it's clear that those tasked with designing and modelling them carefully studied and replicated real-life examples. No two areas feel quite alike and there’s a lack of noticeable asset repetition. Each area has its secrets - everything from vital crafting materials, to books which unlock new and powerful skill paths, to letters and other grim discoveries which together paint a poignant picture of the savage world of TLOU.

    The pacing of the game’s tension is brilliant and delightfully unpredictable. The player is rewarded for being cautious and attentive, thereby producing appropriate trepidation when approaching an unfamiliar location. Exploration is dynamic, with a mixture of peaceful areas, those which appear peaceful until something triggers, scenarios encouraging stealth, and sections of high intensity where the player constantly flirts with death. Enemy AI is smarter than ever and the sequel boasts several new enemy types, resulting in challenging encounters. Resource availability on Survivor difficulty feels ‘just right’, with success requiring thorough exploration and careful management of combat and crafting.

    The stellar story and environments are complemented by top-quality voice acting and animation, emotive music and immersive sound design, appropriate game length, and extensive accessibility settings. The game’s cast also features LGBTQ and racially diverse characters with appropriate depth and realism rather than as a token set dressing.

    TLOU2 is undisputedly my favourite game, having left a lasting impression on me, and represents a quality standard for future game developers to aspire to. Paired with its predecessor, the series offers a journey that everyone should experience.    … Expand

It might be better if there are more reasonable details and explanations of why this character dies, why that character survived or why the character didn't choose to kill.

    The game's fantastic in every aspect if we ignore its a few flaws on the plot. it's really a good job.

    Some mad players gave a 0 review, admitting its stunning graphics, amazing scenery and better gameplay than the first, but only for its so so storytelling, denying its all just on this one point... which I think unfair. Tlou2 can't be a 0 reviewed game, and it should be above the average. So I give it a 8 just as IGN Japan did.    … Expand

    It actually made me feel things, the game got me so engaged I ended up crying at the end.

    The cons:
    The story doesnt match the gameplay, this is actually a big one, replaying both the first and the second its obvious the first has a more straight-forward more linear more conventional story. Almost like a western, and the gory dark gameplay matches it perfectly, the second game though, it does has more obvious problems matching the constant killing with a revenge-story pointed at a single characher that ends in a sort of redemption story, even thoung both Abby and Ellie becomes mass murderers in the process

    I still give it a 9 bc its so extremely ambitious and it actually made me feel things no other game has made me feel, it was one of the closest things to experiencing great art I have experienced playing games.    … Expand

I don't understand the controversy around it, people are mad that Ellie didn't kill Abby, but when I reached the end I was hoping she didn't. I was so relieved when Ellie pulled her head out of the water. The game did a great job at making you feel symphaty for Abby. The graphics are excellent, I loved the gameplay, but what impressed me the most was the random details and polish. The animations feel so natural, the transitions between cutscene and gameplay were amazing, and much more. This game was amazing… Expand

    I've heard all the negative reviews and can understand why some people are upset at the direction this game took but something drastic had to happen. Life isn't always peaches and cream and damn did this game hit me in the gut.
    It was a good pain though because it made me realise I love Joel that much more and he'll always be there in Part 1. Maybe we can have a prequel of the time Joel and Tommy were on their own or a sequel showing what happens after Abbey finds the Fireflies. Either way, this game is an amazing work of art.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us Part II is just perfect.
    Apart from great animations, character interactions, graphics, the game drags you through a realistic, crude world where pity is non existent. Personally, I think reality would not be far from this.
    Naughty dog slapped us in the face repeatedly during the story, and never in a kind way. Every loved character death (starting with the first, the most important) contributed to build up Ellie's character, and it's even more poignant when we see the final cut scene.
    The search for revenge, rage driven vendetta that consumes both the protagonists more and more during the story makes us see how their stories are just parallel lines.
    There is no right or wrong part: Joel, Ellie and Abby have light and dark aspects in their motivations, and that's what i loved the most.
    To me, the conclusion could not be anything else than what it is. Ellie, finally interrupting the circle of violence that Joel started in the first part. And finally, letting him go. I just loved it, a depressing, realistic
    masterpiece that make some bold plot decisions but works them all out in the end.
    Personally i see no use in the critiques to Joel's early death, yes it hurt, but it was necessary.
    About the critiques to Abby's appearance... I have no words for the ignorance of some people. If you want to play a game just to see hot chicks, play something else because this is not it. Also, her physique is not "on steroids". Women can be buff, especially contextualized to her role where she obviously trains a lot.
    And about the critique on Lev's character, I find them so stupid too. Making him a trans character doesn't ruin anything and if you have a problem with it for the simple reason he's part of LBGT then maybe you should try and be less of an ****
    If I have to find a flaw in the game I'd say that some parts of the game were a little bit tedious, but nothing that can make my opinion change.    … Expand

I see most negative reviews here based on the fact that they got rid of the main character from the last game within the first 2 hours of this game and that he wasn’t playable. I feel last of us 2 has been on the receiving end of some unnecessary hate only for the story and doesn’t get enough credit for the other things that they did so well with this one. A game with such superior graphics and so many options weapons to choose from. You are emotionally invested in this game even more than the previous game. Yes, it absolutely sucks to play as the character that was responsible for the death of the main character of the prequel and many people including myself were so damn offended and disappointed at first, but then as the game progressed I was kinda fine with that too. This game also has some great boss fights and is still worth every penny you spend on it.

This is the greatest narrative put in a video game but not just as a passive gamer but the narrative is actively engrained in a gamer’s experience of this game. I did things I didn’t want to do but I felt what the character I was controlling felt. I have never felt like this before in a video game.

I thought, if the rest of the game is like this then no thanks. But pretty soon you got into the familiar gameplay of part 1 which I loved. Switching to other playable characters was confusing and frustrating at first but later I grew more attached to the characters. The reason why I give this game a 10 is exactly because of the different way of playing the game by switching into the role of the 'enemy' and seeing that there is no such thing as a 'good guy / girl and bad guy / girl'. Being good or bad is all relative and the classic view portrayed in movies and games of 'good versus bad' is drawn to a more realistic level in this game. The story might not be as 'grand' as part 1 where your 'goal' was to save the world with a cure, but everything that happened made sense and felt natural to real life. And switching to the 'enemy' side story is a brilliant piece of art in my opinion as you get to see how things are from their point of view and how they see you as evil. Everyone is right and wrong at the same time. If you want a classic game where the 'hero' is immortal and always good and the enemies are always 'bad guys' and 'pure evil' and you don't want that view shattered, then this is not the game for you. But if you are open to the concept that this games tell more than the characters and are open to see the message that is told here about revenge, pretentiousness, assumptions and how nothing is what is seems, then this game will open a new world for you. I truly enjoyed this game.… Expand

    The new mechanics and approaches to fighting, looting and simply exploring are outstanding, as you feel you have so much more freedom than before.
    The graphics are simply out of this world, as you can feel not only the environment around, but you can feel you are in the environment. It was also a trademark of the first game, but in this one, with all the tech advances, you can say that there is almost none (if none actually) difference between a cutscene and the gameplay itself.
    The plot itself is also incredible, teaching us life messages on and on. It makes us feel what the characters feel, seek what they seek more than anything, but gives us, as "the third person" in the story, the chance to see whats right and wrong, which culminates in the understanding of the game itself. It makes the player stick to the game in order to see what's next and as a groundbreaking and cinematic experience as it is, it's a roller coaster of feelings and emotions.
    It is such an engaging experience that we can feel rage, hate, fear and happiness, all of that in one of the best, if not the best video game created until this date.    … Expand
