    The most beautiful and cinematic game of generation . Strong story and narrative, awesome gameplay. Meticulous attention to the details: the environment, animations, faces of heroes. So far, an extremely decent level - the best PlayStation 4 exclusive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ce jeu est le meilleur que l'on ai pu avoir pour clôturer cette génération de console !
    L'ambiance visuelle et sonore sont tout simplement sublime !

    Le gameplay n'a pas évolué énormément par rapport au premier, si ce n'est en ajoutant quelques mécanique supplémentaire bien sympathique (se coucher par exemple), mais en soit, ce n'est pas ce que j'attends d'un titre comme celui-ci. Je préfère au contraire que le studio garde ce qu'il y a de mieux dans le précédent opus, et c'est ce qu'ils ont fait !

    Concernant les débat qui font que la note est ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui, je trouve cela puéril est surtout invalide.
    Un des personnage lesbienne/gay ? Et alors ? Il est ou le problème ? Le seul problème que je vois, ce sont les c** qui n'acceptent pas qu'une telle chose puisse exister dans un jeu.

    Trop de cinématique ? Que neni ! J'ai trouvé au contraire que des fois, le gameplay tirais un peu en longueur, et des cinématiques en plus n'auraient pas été de refus (cela dit, ce n'est pas un point négatif pour autant).

    Une histoire bancale ? Non, du tout ! Bien au contraire, TLOU II nous amène dans une direction que personne n'aurais imaginé avant. Tout le monde se voyais déjà parcourir les USA avec Ellie et Joel, comme au bon vieux temps. Mais ce serait oublier que TLOU se passe dans un environnement violent et détruit par un infection virulente !

    De plus, celui-ci nous questionne sur deux points très important :
    - Notre relation avec la vengeance ;
    - Démontrer que dans le monde, tout n'est pas tout noir ou tout blanc, qu'il n'y a pas de bien et de mal, mais au contraire une très grosse nuance des deux en une seule instance.

    Abby n'est pas méchante, elle a fait des choix car elle a vécu des choses qui l'ont mise face à ces choix. De même pour Ellie, qui n'est pas méchante non plus, mais qui souhaite se venger suite à la mort d'un être cher.

    En fait, Abby et Ellie vivent exactement la même situation toutes les deux. Leurs père (ou de coeur) a été froidement abattu, et elles demandent vengeance.

    Bref, titre énorme, je ne regrette pas d'avoir perdu 30h de mon temps dessus, et je m'en vais de ce pas en perde 40 de plus en survivant+ !

    Et f*** les rageux :D

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. These reviews are ridiculous and show the worst part of a user review system. The game is great, just as good as the first one. Any hate it gets is for spoilers with no context or anger of a made-up "agenda" should be ignored.

    The story does have some pacing issues, but it subverts expectations. I went in loathing one of the two main playable characters, but by the end I really enjoyed them. It was a great juxtaposition, where Ellie is an entirely new character arc, and Abby is more akin to the first game, and they cross over in a brilliant way.

    lack of multiplayer out the gate is a huge bummer as I really enjoyed the multiplayer in the first game. Hopefully, they add it later.

    The story is good ,not what I expected but it is not something that I hate or dislike I can live with it, they made the story close to real life and what would happen in a real world and it will give you the feel of sadness and hate both wich is opposite of the first game,in general it is a very good game.

    As for story, I think the death early in the game was tough but the goal was always to have Ellie take the lead role. It's a standard trope, sure, but it was needed for Ellie to truly fly. That said, I'm not sure why we had to play as Abby. Just give me their story in cutscenes. Their gameplay really doesn't add anything to the game. But I love the representation. Naughty Dog has done it again! If you want to experience some of the best storytelling and gameplay the games industry has to offer, PLAY. THIS. GAME!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not what I expected. A lot of things happened that I did not really like but I believe that is just how it goes sometimes. We forget that not all stories told to use thru any form of art is meant to be one thing. Sometimes a picture can look of way, but you see something different. So, the story is what kept me in this game. The look is nice. sound is good. Gameplay is I would say its weakness. I never felt like I was fully in control of Ellie. She kind of went left when I went left and when switching to right, she would walk backwards awkwardly. The gun play has not changed much. It’s a bit wonky but it was like that in Last of Us. SPOILER TALK: So, I went into this game with an open mind. I didn’t read any spoilers till after I was done with game. Am I a fan of Abby and the time I spent controlling her? No. I did not. She killed my favorite character in one of the greatest story games I have ever played. Why would I want to control her? Well the story explains it. Joel was not a good guy. He was not the good guy in first Last of us. He did a lot of horrible things before the first game. Did bad things during first Last of Us. And Abby was someone that he wronged. Her hate came from the murder of her father. The man that Joel killed in the surgery room to save Ellie. In our eyes we loved Ellie just as much as he did. We spent a lot of time with them to justify what he did... But. We knew it was wrong what he did. Right before the credits of Last of Us, when the camara zooms in on Ellie. We see her puppy eyes. And all she says is "ok".. We knew everything that just happened was wrong. We felt guilt. We and Joel lied to her. The chance of everything going back to normal was stripped away but a man and a lie. So ... I understand Abby. Her hate she had for Joel. And why she had to kill him. It’s what we felt for her thru Ellie while we spent hours hunting her and her friends. I will not go into any gay or trans or any issues like that because I believe your opinion is your opinion. I had no Issue with any of that. Back to story. I would have preferred to not control Abby. Always be with Ellie. To have the story of Abby and her dad revealed someway different. For Ellie to be like you killed my dad and Abby sees what she has done. That the father was taken from her and her hate and revenge has done the same to someone else. I cried a little when Joel died. I had to stop and gather my thoughts. I was sad, angry and confused. That was good story telling. Going back in time thru Ellie's memories was amazing too. It made me feel the feels lol. To see hear Joel's voice again. To hear him say kiddo. I felt what I believe Ellie felt. Calm. Happy. and once the scene ended. More anger and hate. Now I will not go to into it. I did not like the ending too much. I think going back for Abby. Trying to kill her and then deciding not to. Getting home to see Ellie's life is gone. Dina and everything gone. Missing her fingers so she cannot even play Joel's song to Ellie.... I teared up again. We see a flashback of her last conversation with Joel after the bar fight with Seth. She finally lets out what Joel's lie made her feel. She felt useless. Like her life meant nothing. And they patch things up. Joel saying if he had the chance, he would do everything again made me feel the feels x5. He loved her. She was his kid now. And he would always fight for her. He would beat up a bigot at a bar, or even mow down an entire army of solders to keep her safe. To finish up. I enjoyed the story. It had flaws. It could have been told better. This sadly was not a story about a girl and her dad surviving. It was a story about lose. Hate. Revenge. Losing yourself. Mentally going where you thought you could not. A place you might never escape. Ellie went thru something I am sure Joel went thru with the loss of Sarah. I am an optimistic. When Ellie remembers how she was able to start forgiving Joel. I hope this gave her hope to go find Dina and get her life back. To leave the murder and hate behind. And be the girl in the room full of weed. Being somewhat happy. And having a reason to being alive. So, I am giving this game an 8/10. It made me feel what I did not expect to feel. Thank you Expand

    Music: 9/10 - Fantastic music, every moment was appropriately scored, and boy did it evoke some feelings
    Voice acting (not counted toward final score): 10/10 - Absolutely top notch. I was blown away by all performances in this regard. Well done, ND.
    Pacing: 6/10 - I was not happy with how brutally long some moments were, and it did feel unnecessary many times.
    Story: 8/10 - A believable tale about the consequences of Joel's actions and what PTSD can do to someone. Could have been better, but still great.

    Final score: 8.4/10 - an enjoyable game in almost every aspect.

    Because I believe in justice, to offset all the absoiutely ridiculous 0/10 scores, I will be scoring this a 10/10 here. There is no universe where this game is a 0/10, so we can confidently say those are all nonsense. However, there are arguments to be made that it is a 10/10, so I will once again say, my score is 8.4, but I am putting 10/10 here anyway.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can never understand people who are waiting for some kind of indulgence from heaven. This is a game, it makes sense. No need to pay attention to LGBT or racial issues. This is just a game, it is what the developer sees it. I was in love in the first part of the game and went through it several times. I haven’t played many games several times. In the second part, I waited for a very long time. I want to note that I did not expect a specific plot. I was just waiting for the sequel. The graphics are superb, especially with good TV. The gameplay is the same as in the first part - it's cool. The plot is good, just good. Nothing supernatural, but not **** as many tutus write. The average percentage completion of 31-35 according to various sources. I don’t think that people who write * game **** * went through it to the end.
    My humble opinion is that the game is worth playing and understanding what is important to you.

    This game is...the most affected i have been by a games story since...maybe ever. The way the narrative rises and falls in a cyclical motion mirroring the cycles of hate and more importantly forgiveness present with its characters. I can understand why some people may not enjoy this game the entire way through, but personally i don't think that's the point.

I can understand why some people may not enjoy this game the entire way through, but personally i don't think that's the point.

    You are supposed to hate certain characters and certain moments and the beauty of the game is that it tests your ability to forgive in those situations. The game itself is almost a social experiment, testing how far you would go and wether or not you can learn to empathize with others despite possible wrongdoings.

    Not to mention this game's combat mechanics are top notch, and the graphics may be the best I've seen to date. Every character here feels realized wether they spend much time with you or not. The level designs are varied and interesting, and the new weapon customizations are awesome.

    If you have been paying attention to these scores for users they have gone up from a 3 to a 5 now that more people have actually beaten the game and seen the story play out. It's not an easy game to get through, it's emotionally draining at times. But for those who can handle the intense violence and complex themes the world of The Last of Us has to offer, this game is a MUST play. Game of the year 2020 right here.

    Naughty Dog took a risk with some parts of the story which is why people 'hate' the game. Graphically the game is fabulous. Face mimics are out of this world, literally the best face animations I have seen in the video game. Regarding the plot, it is twisted and I understand why people don't like it so much, however this is not a reason to give this game 2/10.

    I have not played a game for some many consistent hours in a long, long time.

    If you want quality, buy quality.

    People are just bombing this because they think they will make a point about something. The game is good over all, I have actually really enjoyed it, and the parts people are pissed about really isn’t that bad. Great over all game, but it is definitely a game that you have to play and decide for yourself

    ignore the trolls writing the 0-1 star reviews. Most of them outright admit they didn't even finish the game. It's criminally underrated. It's a commentary on revenge and what it does to a person.

Only negative I found was maybe little too much looting. All the plot twists people keep crying about weren't anything negative to me. It almost feels like people are too used to Disney happy endings and all main characters surviving to make 7 sequels. I think they learned a lot from GoT that there's a value in shock value and that's what I saw and liked. Story was good but not great, everything else in this game is top notch and best we've seen in this generation. I can't even imagine how you can improve graphics from this or animation or motion cap acting. I do still understand that for some the story or characters is everything but for me all combined is what makes a good game and this is a very good game. Oh yeah and Abby part of the game for me was the most interesting part but not because of Abby even though I kinda liked her in the end. Scars was the most interesting parts of the game. Gameplay is intensive af and I love it. So satisfying weapons and I love gore in games. I'm not good at writing reviews, so I'm little all over the place but I still think people should play this before passing judgement. I loved it and I think many like me would be surprised how much better it is than what you thought from the reputation it has now. Expand

Joel's death, is handled immensely well, it is a fitting end for a man who killed maybe hundreds of people remorselessly through his lifetime. The semi strained relationship between Ellie and Joel also feels appropriate with her knowing that he lied to her about the fireflies. It makes sense that she not trust him 100%.

To co se stalo s joelem po dvou hodinách hry mě sice šokovalo, ale neodradilo od hraní. Naopak mě fakt zajímalo jak se to bude vyvíjet. Pomalejší rozjezd hry za Ellie a první den v Seattlu jsem uvítal. Mrzelo mě že už nebylo více takových lokací s minimapou a otazníky cejtil jsem se chvíli jako v zaklínači. Každým dnem gradovala skvělá atomosféra. Zdlouhavý looting mi dlouhou dobu vůbec nevadil jsem typ hráče který opravdu do detailu prochází lokace nasává atmosféru a všímá si maličkostí. Zlom u mě nastal v polovině hry kdy jsem se dozvěděl že si za ellie nějakých deset hodin nezahraju. Najednou jsem hrál za holku která vypadá jako almara byla mi nesympatická už v první hodině kdy ani nevíte co provede a hra vám deset hodin cpe do chřtánu jak je to vlastně skvělá holka. Najednou přišlo znechucení lokace jsem probíhal mnohem rychleji gameplay byl sice za Abby akčnější a měli jste i nový arzenál zbraní, ale já si to prostě nemohl užít tak jako kdybych hrál za ellie nebo Joela nebo kohokoliv jiného kdo nerozbil oblíbený postavě hlavu golfovou holí. Příběh Abby mě proste nepřirostl k srdci neprobudila ve mě špetku empatie jen jsem chtěl mít tuhle pasáž za sebou. Až do epilogu. Jakmile Abby podruhé nechá ellie žít stoupne u mě. Najednou mi za ní v epilogu nebylo za těžko hrát. Náplast přišla v posledních dvou hodinách za Ellie které jsem si opravdu užil. Potom přišel samotný konec ze kterého jsem nemohl ani usnout. Ellie má oblíbená postava přijde o všechno o kamarády Joela asi i o Dinu jen kvůli tomu aby dokončila co začala. Když k tomu má dojít nakonec ji nechá jít. Takže nemá rodinu, pomstu a aby toho nebylo málo což mě nasralo asi úplně nejvíc nemá dva prsty a nemůže už hrát na kytaru. Alespoň už ne tak dobře. To mě jako kytaristu zasáhlo. Na Ellie jsem nejvíc miloval to že umí hrát na kytaru. Ani tohle na konec nedopadlo a já byl fakt zdrcenej a nasranej. Nakonec musím hru zhodnotit kladně protože mě celou dobu bavila i když bych si přál aby byl jiný konec a nemusel jsem hrát za tu mužatku. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing this game I had high expectations, and despite what the vast majority of user scores will tell you, it was succeeded. This game is all about death, hatred, and above all revenge, and it has a lot to say about these themes.

    Watching Ellie on her never-ending pursuit to avenge Joel and the things she did in order to achieve this, it was to put it simply brutal. Around the halfway point, when Ellie killed Nora who was just trying to protect her friend, I found myself unclear of what side I should be on if any. As for the ending, where Ellie decides to spare Abby even after everything, as much as people say it's anticlimactic, I understood why, and I felt an immense amount of sympathy and love for her as I watched her cry blood-soaked in the ocean.

    In a world where society has little to no traces of civilization left, one can either submit to hatred and violence, or fight it. In this story, we watch Ellie submitting to her anger again and again and again, and seeing her eventually show humanity to Abby who despite the horrific things she did is just trying to save her colleague. It was immensely emotional, but also immensely cathartic. The ending doesn't show what happens to Ellie after, but its an unsaid understanding that the rest of her life will be focused on redemption and acceptance.

    I think this review in particular sums up my thoughts on this pretty well: https://collider.com/last-of-us-2-ending-explained/

A lot of the people here are taking stuff massively out of context and clearly have little to no understanding of the characters, their motivations, and the complex development throughout. The story also doesn't necessarily hold your hand with the character's reasoning, it's largely up to you to put it all together and a lot of people don't have the patience to do that.

    The story is great, the gameplay is stellar, the graphics are wonderful, the music is perfect. There's so many memorable and emotional scenes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is dumbfounding to me that people see Joel as a hero. He murdered all those fireflies and the one doctor that we know of that could potentially make a cure, all to selfishly save Ellie who didn't even have a say in it. And he lied to her about what happened and permanently damaged their relationship. The whole point this game is making is that violence begets violence and Abbie's revenge on Joel seems justified, just as Ellie's revenge on Abby seems justified. But as the body count gets higher and Abby loses all her friends after seeking vengeance, the message that "violence isn't the answer" becomes clear to anybody who can consume a story properly. There are definitely some huge problems with pacing, especially in the beginning and the second half with all the flashbacks. The ending was perfect, Ellie broke the cycle of violence but it was already too late and Dina had left. And her leaving Joel's guitar behind was symbolic of leaving behind the violent ruthless tendencies she learned from him. She broke the cycle. Watch American History X if you want a story with the same ending where the character that redeems themself still dies in the end because of the cyclical nature of violence and vengeance. Expand

While the first Last of Us had an alluring story of bonding between a figuratively father and daughter, second game is about the grief and how different people deal with it. First game was dark in atmosphere, but was full of jokes, funny and sweet moments and overall message of the game was bright. Second game is much different. This game has practically zero light in its story and it is full of darkness, which is shown in the very end the best way possible. I honestly believe, that everyone should play this game just to experience this darkness and to see how they react to it. I think, that people, who say that the plot here is 1/10 are either shallow people who have zero understanding of what darkness is or people who are so in love with the first game, that they cannot forgive NaughtyDog for making second one as different as possible. I do not respect the choice of NaughtyDog to push transgenderism and LGBT policies (my only issue with LGBT was the word "Bigot" in the very beginning of the game, because this word is overused), but it is crucial to say, that these ideas were as little represented as possible and have no influence on the story whatsoever.

    To sum up, I cannot say if the Last of Us part II is better or worse than its predecesor, simply because it is a sincere original dark story about loss, guilt, redemption and consequences of ones action. This game is a must to play and I am grateful to NaughtyDog that they made this sequel. It made me think about a lot of things.

    - It's hard to look, and play, this game without thinking that it shouldn't be possible on 7 year-old hardware

    - The story kicks off with an unspeakable act that drives you to pursue revenge - no matter the cost

    - Throughout your journey you lose those closest to you because they cannot understand or share in your hatred and relentless pursuit of vengeance

    - Only when faced with performing an unspeakable act of your own do you reflect and wonder, "Was it worth it?"

    Some people may be disappointed that they don't get the revenge they were desperately hoping for but, IMO, that would have been a bad, generic story that betrays its characters and our understanding of them.

    The only thing keeping me from calling this a 10/10 are a few, very minor, gameplay decisions that add up to the loss of a single(meaningless) point.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
