    What an amazing game, emotions are everywhere, hard to watch, hard to play because the story is without pity. Well done, i've never had been so scared and happy, and sad, afraid, in the same hour !

    There are a some valid criticisms to be made. I will generally concede on pacing issues or how combat frequently felt more like a disruption of the story. But alas, I don't place much stock in that. The game is beautiful and detailed. The mechanics are polished. The story is powerful and bold. I'm playing a second time, and I am so in awe of this game.

    That boldness of the story is something I love. Naughty Dog did not play it safe. I'll choose to avoid spoilers in my review, but they made narrative decisions that they knew would be divisive. They told a complex and emotionally challenging story. It asks a lot of the players to engage in this story and feel the feelings it provokes. It's dark, miserable, and traumatic in all the best ways.

    Unfortunately when some scenes of certain moments leaked without context it took away Naughty Dog's ability to control of the experience of those who saw them. While they expected some backlash from fans who played it, the backlash we have now is exacerbated and intensified by the months of stewing after spoilers before the release of the game. There are a large percentage of reviewers determined to hate and nitpick at any perceived fault. Don't let them persuade you. The game is masterfully executed and intentionally made. It may not be a story you like depending on your personal taste, but there is no denying it is art done well.

    Play for yourself. Come with an open mind and willingness to let the game tell the story it has to tell.    … Expand

Those people must haven't finished the game or completely missed the point of the game, it's about beliefs, perception of good and evil, love, grief, forgiveness and humanity. Every character feels so real, you have to pay attention to characters chit-chatting and notes to fully appreciate the characters development and their motivations. The environment is large, you have many ways to approach enemies. So you would not be bore.. Also, goodboyes… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a solid 9/10, one of the best games of all time. I finished the game in 34 hours on hard difficulty and now heading for a platinum trophy.
    SPOILERS AHEAD!
    First of all Abigail was created by the traumatic experiences when random guy called Joel murdered her dad and all of the firefly staff. She had her revenge and CLEARLY warned Ellie a couple of times that if they meet again Abby will kill her. On the other hand Ellie is psychologically a very complex human being, she was very much fighting her own demons between a HUGE urge of revenge and the need of relief, a salvation. Ellie was mechanically fullfilling her plan until the very end when she realised that killing Abigail changes nothing, that relief and salvation came when she held Abby under water and could kill her instantly. I think Ellie realised (seeing Joel in her mind) that Joel wouldn't want her to seek revenage and put her own life at stake. She finally made peace with herself and accepted Joel's death. The ending was psychologically reasoned and logical. It was something out of the box. Not that "American happy ending" you all wanted.
    In my opinion II part is better, more mature, rough, more complex and more psychological than the firts part.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to start by saying that I absolutely loved this game and I am really sorry ND and all the actors receive so much hate.
    The gameplay is amazing (similar to the first one but enhanced). Graphics and lighting are simply astonishing. Really detailed animations and enriched environments. But what I loved the most is the story.
    I am going to be honest, I was more excited about the gameplay because the story in the first one is just perfect and it is hard to make the second one better. But I am awestruck by how well written the story is. From almost the very beginning I saw that Ellie/Joel are not that different from Abby. I did not fully see her as a villain. She did exactly what Joel did or what Ellie was trying to do. And playing as Abby (which I loved) enforced that feeling even more. My heart was broken when I saw Abby on that pillar. I was looking for a strong, powerful, and simply buff woman. And it hurt to see what Rattlers did to her.
    The ending which I personally think starts with the theater fight and ends with the rolling credits left me a complete mess. I was crying for over an hour. I loved it. Yes, it was sad. But it does not make it bad. These are two different things. The ending and the whole story are very well written. And the fact that some of the events are sad does not make it bad. I cried when Joel was killed. But I cried when I had to fight dying Abby as well. The story leaves you with lots of different emotions and thoughts. And I loved every minute of it.
    I would like to thank the whole Naughty Dog team, the actors, and all other people who worked on this game. This is truly a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An extremely ambitious story complemented with gameplay and graphical improvements: exactly what you demand from a sequel. This is a harsh world, actions have reactions and consequences. Revenge will ultimately leave you empty as you cannot undo what has been done. If you want light and fluffy, play uncharted. This game deals with the themes and humanity of the characters excellently. The encounters with human and infected enemies are varied and challenging when coupled with the resource management. These battles are even more tense and exhilarating than the original, being in the midst of a fight, carefully managing ammo and tactics against the superb score is a rush. Naughty dog achieved what they set out, once again they have given us the game of the console generation in its last cycle, pushing the hardware to its absolute peak.… Expand

    Despite what others said, the story is incredible. At first I was as angry as Ellie for what happened to Joel, but after playing as Abby, I knew that she was in the right, she had more rights to revenge than Ellie, even though I liked Ellie more, I was rooting for Abby during their confrontation.

Technically advanced to the first and excelling in all aspects (visuals, audio, environments, level design). Immersive atmosphere and refined gameplay with new elements. A pure gaming pleasure to experience, with the highest standards only Naughty Dog can deliver. My only let down was that the game was relatively easy even on Hard mode to finish. Solid 9/10 from me (42 years old gamer since the early 80s). I am a bit surprised with the amount of negative reviews but what can you do; I guess this game is not for everyone.

The former group I can respect the opinions of and criticism from, the other not so much. This is not the game i thought it was going to be, maybe even not the game i wanted when i bought it, but I've taken it as it is and i consider it a masterful game with a handful of flaws. The pacing is a little all over the place and it might outstay it's welcome on the last few hours, also the violence was a little much for me, not game ruining but something to watch out for if you're sensitive to that sort of thing. So definitely not a perfect game but a flawed masterpiece all the same… Expand

Thats why so many people rated it like the worst game ever, because it didnt fit so well with their point of view and they wanted to get a happy ending. What they didnt understand is that not all stories have a good ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is no other word to describe The Last of Us part 2 but masterpiece, this isn’t just a game it is an experience. I am a massive fan of the original and this sequel builds on every aspect of the original. The gameplay - Solid controls and character manoeuvrability, everything works as it should and no frustratingly awkward controls like some 3rd person games. All game mechanics are simply to learn and after a few minutes you will get the hang of them. Ellie can now swim, go prone and jump freely unlike the original game. My only gripe with the gameplay was the boating sections, the controls felt tight and these section albeit small felt tacked on but this is a minor gripe. The graphics- Easily the best this generation, the character models are amazing and you could remove the HUD and think it was a CG movie. The environments are beautifully dirty gritty and realistic. The game never stutters, never loads and the cutscenes blend into gameplay seamlessly. This game pushes the PS4 to its limits. The story - Here is were a lot of people drop off and start to hate on this game. Personally I really loved it, it was epic, massive and you really felt the slog that these characters go through over the course of the few days. All the characters were fully realised and their decisions IMO were justified and I really understood what the game developers were going for with this story. I think people forget that this is a post apocalyptic bleak world full of monsters, horrific people and dredd. How could anyone possibly be able to put themselves in the players shoes and criticise their decisions. Yes this story has LGBT elements and a very minor transgender diversion for one character but all in all it is handled well and fair play to Naughty Dog for adding this much diversity to such a AAA game title. The Good - - an amazing epic story that sucks you in and takes you on a journey with each of the characters. - beautifully fully realised world
    - stunning set pieces - game runs buttery smooth - percent controls The Bad -
    - the game does drag in a few sections - the game rushes a few parts to get you from A to B - Joel doesn’t get as much attention as he deserves.
    - very linear levels, they feel big but there isn’t much room to explore. The Ugly - - the last couple hours feel that they were slightly rushed as the first 90% of the game takes place over 3 days yet the last 10% takes place over 1-2 years yet is glazed over. In conclusion I think everyone should experience TLOU2 it is a superb title and a worthy sequel to the original. The developers took a chance with a bold story they could of easily if rehashed the first game and it would of still sold amazingly but they chose to give us something new.    … Expand

    Story-telling and characterisation are way more sophisticated than its predecessor. The criticism that the story is full of severe plot holes or inconsistencies of character behaviours is inaccurate. Series of events and character actions are supported by sufficient details that explain why the story unfolds in the way it does. A number of such details are conveyed through minute dialogues, micro expressions, Ellie's journal logs (I'm not sure how many people actually read through the journal) etc. One also needs to read between the lines to fully understand the implication. As long as one notices these details, it's not that difficult to appreciate the story. Nevertheless, I'm not completely happy with the narrative because I'm afraid some of the key messages are too subtle to get across.
    Technical aspects such as graphics and physics, though not flawless, are definitely top-notch.
    In terms of gameplay, it depends on one's personal taste. As far as I'm concerned, I enjoyed the gameplay pretty well, even though it's not my favourite.
    It would be a pity to deprive oneself of the opportunity to enjoy a potentially good, if not great, game simply because of the review bomb against it, not to mention that many of the criticisms are groundless.

The story is as beautiful as in the first part, Ellie is no longer a little girl, who looks at this dying world through a child's eyes, she's a grown woman who understands how the world works, and that without killing you not to survive but to return to those days where Ellie is fourteen years are memories grown-up Ellie, and this is the best moments in the game. But the reality is that Ellie has to avenge the person she loves by killing everyone who gets in her way. The ending of the game makes you think about everything that happened in the game, during the credits the song Gustavo Santaolalla plays, and you understand that this is the end of Ellie's revenge. I am very much looking forward to the third part and hope that it will be released soon and will be as great as the first and second.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply a masterpeice in gaming and story telling! But I think people were not ready at all for the story they got and I understand why they are maybe disapointed. If you expected a carbon copy of the first game, then don't even think about playing this game.

    They killed eveyone's favorite from the start and focused on the real goal of this game, to talk about vengeance! And, mid point, the story is switched to the "other point of vue"!!! This is where causual gamers got lost in translation. Naughty Dogs made us play the enemy! And tru ther story of Abby, we kind of see another world with the Seraphite and the WLF.

    But the beauty of the story is how the gameplay actually affect your idea of vengeance and how sensless all of this is becoming. And by the end, you are simply disguted by the excess of violence we are asked to be a part of and it does not make any sense anymore!    … Expand

    I love that Naughty Dog decided to go in the direction they did. I love the story and how characters evolve during the game. I'm glad I didn't read other user reviews and all the hate before playing. I really enjoyed the game and I suggest you keep an open mind and enjoy the detail that went into the game. Looking forward to part 3. Let's go.

    Lets start off simply. This game is split between people who love it for simply being another installment in the Last of Us and people who hate it for its story. I would like to say this: if you go into any game with any pre-determined thoughts, you will tend to have that experience regardless of how the game actually performs. As with anything in life.

    With that said, I saw the critic    Lets start off simply. This game is split between people who love it for simply being another installment in the Last of Us and people who hate it for its story. I would like to say this: if you go into any game with any pre-determined thoughts, you will tend to have that experience regardless of how the game actually performs. As with anything in life.

    With that said, I saw the critic reviews of 10/10 and 5 stars, etc. I also saw the audience saying this game would be awful after the plot leaks. Those who read the leaks, learned of a big motive for the story, and instantly begun hating the game for it. This is the problem with spoilers. They ruin things for people.

    I was able to avoid the spoilers and went into this game expecting something good, but was weary and open-minded.

    I chose to write without spoilers, as the point of a review is to inform someone if they purchase something or not. This game is a purchase in my opinion. The sound and graphics are amazing, as to be expected with a Naughty Dog game. One thing a lot of reviews seem to miss, is the level of detail though. They do not go into the amount of detail. The world is very immersive and the music fits incredibly well. The combat is hard if you do not loot. The game attempts to will you into exploration and you find things you would not expect. Not weapons and ammo, but the stories of people who lived in the areas you loot. The benefits of this pay off, and you can get good gear.

    Even more so, the combat is very intense. It is violent. Very violent. However, that is the point of this game. To put emotion behind killing. Players are used to killing hundreds of enemies across multiple games without a thought to it. That is the point of this game and the message trying to be told. Violence, in any capacity, is violent. When you kill an enemy, others will cry out their name. Sometimes after landing a shot, the enemy collapses to the floor and screams until they die. This is very different from any game I have played. It tries to make you realize you are actually killing someone. Not some nobody, but somebody.

    The story is not perfect. There was no way to really make a sequel to the first game perfect, as the Last of Us was a perfect game and did not need a sequel. I understand that the Naughty Dog wanted to make a sequel, mainly for money, but also to simply make another game. The story is good for what it is. It is emotional, and those who say moments don't matter, are simply detached from the story.

    This game is best played in a setting where you can focus on it. It is best played when you are not trying to relax. It is more of an art project then a game for that matter. Last of Us Part II wants you to feel emotional during the game and tries desperately to achieve that. It works at times but also doesn't.

    The game attempts to show you the level of emotion behind people. It tries to show you that despite all the enemies you encounter, they all always have a reason for what they are doing. That, they might not actually be bad. The only real "bad guys" are the undead, and they aren't focused on as much for that reason.

    All in all, I think this game takes a lot to understand. You have to be willing to accept things for what they are and role with the game. Make a judgement on it once you are all the way through it, not at the start or middle, but at the complete end.

    This game is good and I would recommend it to others. It is a unique experience in gaming, and there is no other gaming experience like it.    … Expand

Those who gave the game 1 star for Joel's death, what kind of game did you think it was going to be? Did you forget this is an action/horror game set in a post apocalyptic world? Did you not see the trailer?? "Ellie's revenge". What did you think she would be vengeful for? It made sense to me and I liked the way they did it. Let's be real, before Ellie, Joel was an evil **** To everyone that has faced the barrel of his gun, he got what he deserved. Was I upset by his death? Of course! Did I think Ellie deserved revenge? **** yeah! And I was stoked to kill everyone that had a hand in Joel's death. Because I loved the character and thought Ellie deserved redemption. I loved playing as Abby and I grew to love the character. At first of course I hated her and didn't like playing as her because of the animosity I had towards her over Joel's death. But after learning who she was from a kid to an adult, from a WLF to rescuing scars to a prisoner, from a violent, evil brute to a loving carer wanting genuine change I grew attached to her. Having to fight Ellie as Abby and vice versa was so intense and upsetting. I loved the way it was done. You can draw lots of parallels between Abby and Joel. Both began as murderous people, killing and doing it well for the prosperity of themselves and those around them. Finding a young person that they grow to love and care for that changes their ethics and goals, leading them to live more open, trusting lives. The difference is you dont get to see what Joel did before Ellie, it's only referenced that he killed innocent people and set traps.

    Also if you're really that bothered by how jacked Abby is (you're probably a misogynist and) it serves a real purpose. Ellie is super petite and you cant play as Joel so you're missing the classic brutal playstyle of TLOU without Abby. She can hold a massive rifle steady, swing a pickaxe without falling over and punch the **** out of people. My only gripe is before the farm, Ellie and Dina's relationship seemed kind of baseless to me. Context was only found in Ellie's teenage journal in the museum. Didn't really like Dina's character and didnt think she deserved Ellie. That did change after seeing them as a domestic couple but i wished i had felt that much earlier in the game. I think if you had read negative reviews of the game before playing (or have some *ahem* prejudices) and are set on disliking the game for those reasons, you have robbed yourself of one of the best gaming experiences ever.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a game with hardship, despair and loss. But also within the game is love, strong relationships and forgiveness. The story with Ellie and Dina was the main strong point of the beginning of the game. Joel on the other hand, you can see that the relationship has grown very low, because of Ellie finding out the truth of what Joel had done to her. Which is why I agree with Ellie, she had the chance to save humanity and she wanted to do that and was ready for that sacrifice. But Joel took a selfish move and saved her because he seen her as the only thing he had left in this dying world. Joel still seen her as a little girl and not an adult who wanted to do her own thing. Think of him as a loving yet very protective father. To which is why I also love the way Joel is presented in this game, you know that his story is over, and that Ellie, Dina, Abby and Lev now take over. But now we are gonna talk about Joel's death. Joel needed to die. Maybe not in the way it happened (he had it coming tbh) but it happened and we have to move on. He killed Abby's father for trying to save the world, her father didn't see any wrong and only thought in the recovery of humanity. Joel wronged alot of people, but he was also a good hearted person. Abby sought revenge the same as any other person would do in that situation. Especially in the world they live in. Now back to Ellie, she killed alot of people to just get to one person, even a pregnant women who didn't want to be a part of it. The question I kept asking myself was.. was it worth it? All this killing? Abby let Ellie and Tommy go, but again here is another loop. Tommy wanted revenge for the death of his brother, and so set for another killing spree to which I agree. But now I'm seeing in this story that these are two stories with the same outcome... death. Unresolved and unnecessary death on both parties. Which I think Ellie herself brought on to herself. Now onto my favourite character, Abby. Abby's character development was amazing. At the start I wanted her dead for what she did. But later finding out what happened, I understood why. She had a valid reason for wanting revenge. Now we come to the aid of Yara and Lev. Both amazing characters and totally deserve to be recognised in this game. We see Abby's human side here, she could have walked away after they saved her life. Abby went to hell and back for them and in the end, got a new friend. Lev. Lev has had a troubled story, and also deserves full respect for what he had been through. Yes, he is trans and done what he thought was right, and that was to be himself. His own mother tried to kill him because of it and with the other scars calling him 'Lilly' you can tell the other scars did not accept him for it and therefore got so much hate to the point which he and his sister escaped. Abby deserves so much respect for helping Yara and Lev, again she could have walked away but she didnt. She stood her ground for what was right. Now to the ending, both women fighting to the end. Ellie was gonna win but then turned away because of guilt. Ill leave it up to you to what you think of the ending but I think it ended right. Both women deserved what they got, they both suffered and therefore redeemed. Overall, this game was probably the best game I have ever played. The small love moments between Ellie and Dina are amazing (I cried at the 'Take on me' moment, it was so beautiful). This game deserves all the praise it gets and hope Abby and Lev have their own game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m not even going to lie, after finishing this game I absolutely hated it. I hated how they killed Joel, Jesse, and even let Abby escape. But after sitting on the ending for about a week, I started to understand more about some of the decisions. However, it would be foolish to say that everyone is going to love this game. Even people who loved the first game like me might despise this game. I’m going to go through some initial thoughts about major story beats, both of how I felt as it happened and after thought.

    First, I want to go through my initial thoughts of two things. The death of beloved Joel. At first I was in major disbelief of how they had done it, angered to the point where I didn’t play it for the rest of the day. And with the ending, I was so confused of how it went. Abby... got away? Why? Why did she let her just go after seeing Joel? Wouldn’t that anger her even more?

    After I finished the game, I thought about it for about a week. And the more I thought about it, the more I loved it. First, Joel’s death. Through playing as Abby, I was able to understand her humanity, saving Lev and restoring her humanity through him. Like Joel, she learns to love Lev like a brother and cares for him. She even seemed like Ellie in many parts, with her humor and overall attitude. And the ending. I’m not completely clear on it, but here’s what I believe. I think that Ellie saw the huge mistake of killing Joel. But, she sees the vision of Joel on the porch, where she told him that she wants to try to forgive him. Perhaps she wanted to forgive Abby for what she had done like she was going to do with Joel. She was able to see a good side of Abby through Lev, and decided to let her go. And maybe she knew that is she were to kill Abby, Lev would get into the same situation as Ellie was in with Joel. So she decided to end the cycle of violence and take the pain. And by leaving Joel’s guitar and her paintings, she’s deciding to leave what she knows to become a better person for Dina and JJ.

    But even disregarding that, the gameplay of this game is masterclass. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s so smooth that it almost seems real. The acting is even better, with performances from Ashley Johnson and Shannon Woodward. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming at times, both are some of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

    In conclusion, this game is one that isn’t just going to seem fun all the time or just be surface fun like the Uncharted games (not saying there’s anything wrong with that, I love the Uncharted series) but it’s a game that might disgust you, even anger you at times. But after thinking about a lot of things, it feels like one of the most unforgettable experiences you’ll go through. It’s my GOTY.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is overall a great game, and I agree with everyone who says that the story is not better than the original. The first game was more self contained and its story was told in a more cohesive way. That being said, Part 2 expands on everything, improves where it must, and delivers an amazing experience whether you agree or disagree with it's key points.

    Joel dying is not wrong. Him trusting strangers is not wrong based on the assumption that he's been re-educating himself to trust strangers that surround Jackson, welcome and shelter them is part of what the whole community is based upon.

    Abby's side of the story is compelling, but I agree with the fact that it might drag a little bit more than necessary. However, you grow to UNDERSTAND her side of the story, and the game doesn't ever force you to like her, the game knows that you know what she did and doesn't intend to dictate how you see her by the end of her section or the game itself. You can absolutely hate her by the end as well, and even if you do that, you're still within the spectrum intended by the storytellers.

    Ellie is great, and she's not mono-dimensional. At the beginning she really has lost purpose, because she knows that her immunity will not amount to anything because Joel took that away from her. The death of her only father figure gives her a new purpose, which is vengeance. However, the game shows you the path of vengeance, how little by little you can be consumed by anger and rage, and thirst for revenge. She's mostly angry at herself for not being able to set aside her disdain for Joel in time and have more time with him, angry for not being strong/smart enough to help him on his last moments. She then gets a second chance with Dina and JJ, and she's still hasn't broken the cycle of violence and vengeance, and feels that the only way to overcome those feelings is by killing the person who set these events in motion, ignoring that in the end, it was Joel himself who set them at the end of Part 1.

    The secondary characters offer development for Ellie and Abby, especially the latter, who we've never met. This is where most people have issues: feeling that spending time with Abby was unnecessary, or dragged; and while I mildly agree with the dragging part, I feel that it was needed for the story that we knew who Abby was and what her life was before and after Joel killed his father.

    At the end, whether you hate Abby or not, whether you agree with Ellie letting Abby and Lev go or not, Joel and Tommy appealing naive in front of Abby and her friends or not; you can't deny that the game told its story, and told it well for the most part. Even if you didn't even like the game to its core, the decisions made by the developers are justified, and they pay off by evoking conversation and emotion from the player.

    In the end, this game is a must play for everyone.    … Expand

    El juego es sencillamente espectacular, quienes esperen que joel y ellie sean superhéroes simplemente asuman que no lo son, son humanos con sus virtudes y defectos, con sus complejidades en sus personalidades. La historia diría que es 9 de 10 pero el apartado audiovisual y de jugabilididad son sin duda 10 de 10

    Simply great! Another masterpiece but this time an incomprehensible one. This game puts you not only in the protagonist's shoes, but in the antagonist's as well. As someone the finished the game, I can say, thank you Naughty Dog and thank you Neil Druckman for this trip. I'll be expecting your new proyect.

    -that game was amazing, and in fact the best thing about it is the hated parts, killing Joel, playing with Abby and Ellie not killing her at the end.
    -Joel's death made the game interesting, and showed that in a **** up world anyone can die.
    -playing with Abby shows how hypocrite people are, if the story was told in reverse (started with Abby's past and didn't know anything about Joel), more people would've empathized with her, but most people hate her cuz they didn't know her, and worst thing is, they don't want to, thats way the game forces your emotional hypocrit ass to play with her...in the end i empathized, and my take was that the world can be **** up, that there is no real glorious good or evil, only perspective.
    -the last part is the most interesting, keep in mind, Abby spared Dina and Ellie, and now is taking care of Lev (who by the these haters try to forget that he is Ellie from TLOU1 and Abby is his Joel), so Abby IS a good person, and she made the first step by not killing Ellie, and in the end, Ellie rediscovered her true good nature, and stopped from killing Abby, that was where i bursted in tears, i was like : poor Ellie, this **** is too much for her, she is just a kid.
    so let's try to have a wider perspective instead of getting stuck in the revenge cycle, god only knows how much i love Joel, he is too close to my real dad so he is somewhat like my dad, i got never over his death, but i knew that all are victims of the world, and that at least Ellie, Abby and Lev, good people, got alive out of it, that's for me is what made the ending peaceful.
    in the end this game just exposed us, and we are mad about it, that's it, and that's what real art should be about, exposing us without care about our feelings.    … Expand

    Here to do justice for this game. The characters, gameplay, and graphics are amazing. The plot has some holes obviously but it is made up for by the great flashbacks and some of the better moments in the story.

    Even though the story will not resonate with everyone, this is a exceptional game. The polish, graphics, gameplay, levels and sound is phenomenal. The story is uncomfortable and brutal but often has very touching moments that definitely worked for me.

    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]
