    This game is being underrated, totally worth $60. This is the kind of innovation for story telling we need in games. The characters they push just feel like people and dont really feel like they are pushing an agenda. I liked it.

    Un Juego con Demasiado Potencial.
    Una historia que te hace reflexionar sobre la venganza y el valorar a tus seres queridos ya que nunca sabes cuando se van a marchar. Que es lo que puedes perder al encaminarte hacia la venganza, que estas dispuest@ a perder.

    Le jeu est excellent, la direction artistique est splendide ainsi que la bande son qui l'accompagne.
    Le gameplay est viscérale et intelligent.
    L'histoire peut laisser à désirer mais pour mon cas j'ai aimé, mais la narration de celle-ci est parfaite.
    Pas de micro-transactions. Juste une chef-d'œuvre à faire et qui vaut son prix.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 60% of bad reviews made by people who don't play the game LOL.You don't criticize just by watching videos.If you want to criticize you have to play the game so that you have a thought about the game
    anyways at the beginning of the game,
    they wanted to do it dramatically like the first game for example, let's think that they want to make a dramatic introduction at the beginning of the game, the only character we have connected with is Joel it would be absurd if there was a vengeance story for dina or tommy but I have to admit that the death of Joel creates a gap in the other part of the game.The game constantly kills things we connect with for example, we love dogs at the beginning of the game and then we kill the dogs.playing abby was seriously insulting.The most ridiculous thing was not to kill abby at the end of the game.Other than that, the gameplay was very nice. I saw people who said gameplay was bad, please keep playing cs go.The game was not bad except for the emotions that wanted to be felt much in the game do not call the game bad because a certain community says it is bad.Just play the game and criticize it with your own ideas    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. !!SPOILERS!!

    I genuinely hated this game for a solid 4-6 hours into the second half of the story. I kept telling myself the gamey would have to pull off a miracle in the end for this to all be worth it. While calling the ending a miracle is definitely hyperbole, the game ultimately succeeded in what I personally needed it to in order for it to all be worth it in the end. This game made me feel sick to my stomach, it made me question myself and it genuinely disturbed me. Some may see this as shock value but, trauma really is shocking. That is why it is trauma. As someone who has dealt with trauma, Ellie's journey in this sequel is deeply personal to me. Experiencing Ellie's trauma along with her via the sudden flashes of Joel really gives the game a dark sense of realism and depth. Ellie's episode in the barn was heartbreaking and felt as though my heart was being torn from my chest. I wanted nothing more than to hug Ellie in that moment, to somehow comfort her.

    No game or film has ever moved me like this. You have so many people on the hate bandwagon, saying this game is poorly written because they are incapable of discerning subtext or decoding non-linear story structures. This is a game that should only be experienced free of leaks and spoilers. If ever there was a story that could be tainted by such a thing, it is this one. Certain individuals will simply close themselves off and reject the story in its entirely due solely to the fact that said scenes exist rather than endeavor to understand what they mean in the broader context.

    There are many people succumbing to the social pressures of their in-group to despise this game and it is more tragic than the story itself. In years time, I know many will look back more favorably upon this game. This is certainly a story that requires effort from the viewer, something gamers keep claiming they want but refuse to accept it when they finally get it. This is the most mature story I've ever experienced in a video game, not just when it comes to themes but with what it asks of the player. You will be challenged, you will be expected to discern subtext and you will be expected to piece together the non-linear narrative. If this is something you are not comfortable doing, then I can certainly see why you would dislike this narrative.

    This is not a generic revenge story. Those that say it is are the same who say that !!SPOILER!! Ellie should have killed Abby. The fact that Ellie lets her go and the reason behind it is precisely why this game is so much more than a generic revenge story. In the very moment Ellie decides to spare Abby, she breaks the cycle. In that very moment, Ellie has finally forgiven Abby for what she did, forgiven Joel for taking from her what she perceived to be her life's purpose but most of all, she has forgiven herself... You see, this game is not about Ellie's war with Abby, it is about Ellie and Abby's wars with themselves.

    Ellie blames herself for Joel's death because she is the reason he made the decision to save her, despite what that meant. She blames herself for being immune. She blames herself for not being able to provide a cure. She blames herself for being unable to forgive Joel for what he did; being unable to reconcile before his death. In the very moment Ellie spares Abby, instead of seeing a traumatic flash of Joel's bloody face, we see a flash of Joel sitting in a chair on the porch, playing his guitar. Finally she is able to let go of her guilt, finally she is able to forgive Joel for doing what he did to save her, finally she is able to forgive Abby for her transgressions against her broken family, finally she is able to forgive herself for being the catalyst for this entire series of events.

    This story is deeply disturbing, tragic, heartfelt and has a bleak sense of realism. This game is not a window into an ideal world which audiences are so comfortable with. It is a mirror that reflects the darkness of humanity back at you and forces you to feel and see things you are not comfortable with. That is why this game is so divisive. Some people just cannot handle the mirror, they prefer the window.

    This is the most important game I have ever experienced and I suspect it may change my life moreso than the first installment.    … Expand

    Equally as good if not better than the first. This storyline was far more intricate and complex. The technical achievement of the improved graphics, the art direction of creating these beautiful places and the diverse set of characters truly makes this one of the best games of all time.

The acting, graphics, storytelling, writing, gameplay, level design, progression, pacing, art direction, lighting, enemy and character designs are all top notch and a new step forward for Naughty Dog and the industry as a whole.

    A must play game for anybody, and a generation defining experience for me. The seven year wait was more than worth while.

    If you've only seen the leaks, and already decided that you don't like the game, I urge you to reconsider. The leaks don't do the game justice, in my opinion. Let's start with what I think the game does well, and then what it does not so well.

The leaks don't do the game justice, in my opinion. Let's start with what I think the game does well, and then what it does not so well.

    Pros

    Graphical fidelity: Arguably one of the best looking games ever made. Lighting, character models, art-style, etc. are all phenomenal
    Acting: The best acted game I've ever played, period.
    World-building: All the artifacts, environments, and character interactions really make the world feel real, lived in, believable.
    Stealth gameplay: The ability to go prone, craft a silencer, and use silent weapons like bows and knives make for really engaging stealth.
    Story: This has been the most controversial aspect of the game, but I really appreciate that the story is risky. It wasn't the safe option for ND and I like that they took a risk. I also think that risk paid off, the story they told was really impactful to me. We've seen revenge stories before, but I think this game says something unique and presents it in a unique way.

    Cons

    Pacing: As much as I like the story, I think the pacing is a little off, especially when you get to the halfway point. I also think there's a little too much down-time in game play, it doesn't have enough story set pieces for my liking.
    Gameplay nitpicks: The lack of a lock-on feature is really frustrating, especially when dealing with large groups of enemies. The addition of a dodge feature is useful and very welcome, but I wish I could lock on as well.

    Overall, I think the game deserves the hype. It makes a lot of bold choices that I really respect and I think it's worth playing if you're a fan of the first game. Don't just make assumptions based on the leaks.    … Expand

    I felt like it was a perfect extension of the first game, felt like there was never even a time gap between playing. While I wish some things would have been a little different I can appreciate the direction they wanted to go with the game and absolutely enjoy it for how it was presented. Don't let hateful people make you feel bad for something you enjoy.

I can say no matter what happens with the story this game is a stellar sequel to the first. The gameplay is improved, the graphics are improved, and the story, while controversial, is very real. You can’t expect everyone to be safe simply because they are main characters. Killing characters off made this game world feel way more real than it did already. Fantastic game through and through, and all the negative feedback was day one, which people didn’t even play the game. Review bombing because you don’t like the way the story goes is BS… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As already mentioned, this story is a continuation of the first part and demonstrates the consequences of the events of the first part. The plot is built on revenge and hatred, what violence leads to and what is the price of justice.
    Ellie, wants only revenge for the crime because of which she is tormented by a thirst for justice with this and for this she goes to Seattle to search for the guilty.
    The city is a battlefield in which there are two fractions:
    Seraphites - ‘’ scars ’’ and ‘’ WLF ’’ or ‘’ Wulfs ’’ - Washington Liberation Front.

    I won’t stutter about the gameplay, it’s awesome, exactly like everything else, and therefore I would like to discuss and tell, as much as possible without a spoiler script.

    In the course of the story, we will explore a city that looks amazing. I want to explore every building and every brick with its facing, in this case, the developers tried their best.
    Ally, obsessed with revenge, she goes on to do very scary things, the game is very cruel and if the first part seemed cruel to you, then here cruelty is multiplied by 200%, which only colors the game. There are also bright memories of Ellie, which dilute this darkness.
    The first half is only an introductory part, the second half reveals the other side of the coin and this needs to be seen and played. The game may seem prolonged and incomprehensible, but it is necessary to reveal the characters and enhance the effect of the ending of the game.
    Music plays even more on your emotions, makes you cry and rejoice. Without a doubt, the composer Gustavo Santaolalla has great respect, we take off our hat.
    But the juice itself is the last chapters. Imagine Tony Montana at the end of a ‘’ Scarface ’’, but only you are the one who attacks his palace. It is here that Ellie is revealed as a cruel and merciless girl who has no choice but to revenge. The game plunges a knife into you, which twists the blade inside your tissues and makes it clear how thorny the path of revenge is? What is the price of revenge? Was it worth it? What remains after the completion of justice? Does it make sense to get revenge? Soak your hands or entrust it to fate?
    It is about this game, about the continuous cycle of violence that generates even more violence. Revenge freaks Ellie, provoking the desire to kill, after which the question arises: ‘’ How are you better than this? ’’.
    What if, sooner or later, justice comes to the person who deserves it?
    Each player will make a conclusion for himself after passing, but the story will not leave anyone indifferent. Perhaps you will hate the game or vice versa. I would like to tell more, but all the details, even minor ones, are the whole mechanism from which this machine works. The story is masterpiece, there was no such thing in games or even the movie industry.
    Everything is perfect in this story, but most of all I want to again mention what promise the ending carries, demonstrating the result of Ellie's revenge? What did she have to become for her purpose? What sacrifices did she make?
    The game leaves very sad emotions, it is merciless to the player in the same way as Ellie when she opens the throat with a knife to the next “Woolf” or “Seraphit”: calmly and cruelly. Indeed, everyone had the thought of revenge, how would you commit it, when you think that you will enjoy the process, but in fact you will get even more pain. It will not distinguish you from the one who deserved the punishment, you will not become yourself anymore after what you have done. You spoil yourself and The Last of Us Part II makes you think about it. In the end, I can say that this is the best game I have ever played and perhaps the best that exists in the gaming industry. This is an amazing piece of art. If you are among the viewers, plot plums for 3 hours and have constructed a negative opinion, the conclusion is obvious who you are. In this game, there is no agenda for the LSS and LGBT propaganda, this is not and never has been.
    This is a very unique and ambitious project, for which I can pat and say only:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story:
    This game makes you feel a lot. You get all the emotions. Happy, sad, joyful, depressed. Everything's planned. A lot of the reviews were made negative within the first two days of the game’s launch. On day 2 of playing the game, I was at the character switch, as I suppose many others were. And just like the many others, I was mad. This is where many decided to quit the game, and write their hate review. However, I kept playing. At the end of the game, I understood what the developers wanted. I understood AND FELT the ending because I put my bias towards the main characters aside. Once you do that, the story’s flawless. It’s very easy to follow along as long as you stick through with it. For example, a lot of people get confused at the start of the game. However, if you play past the confusing part, the pieces all start to fit together. Gameplay:
    It’s simply perfect. They didn’t change much, but what they did change added only more depth from the first and made it a lot more smooth. There’s also a lot more ammo and material to be found around the world, even on the higher difficulties. Why I rated the game a 9 and not a 10:
    Simply from lack of content. At the moment we have a new game plus mode, but unlike the original, there’s no character skins or game filters. I was expecting a lot more skins, even branching out to weapon skins. Maybe the devs will add this later, but I’m rating what the game launched with. Overall:
    Amazing experience, truly emotional. While the ending did not make me happy, it wasn’t suppose to. The last time I felt this way about a game, was when in MGS3, you find out Big Boss was doing everything for her country, and that no one would know her sacrifice except for you and a few select others. Just because a game doesn’t have sunshine and rainbows at the end, doesn’t make it any less of a terrific game. Side Note (spoilers):
    The Last of Us 1 had a sad ending. Joel shoots up an entire hospital and you can tell at the end that there is a tear in the relationship between Joel and Ellie. The Last of Us 2 has a sad ending as well, although this one is more blatant and extreme. So to everyone complaining that the game is too emotional, yet enjoyed the first game, were you just ignoring the ending of the first one, or too oblivious to see it? No one in this game’s universe is a good protagonist. Joel is a flawed hero. We only see his side of the story when he’s with Ellie. They mention countless times of how he had a bad past, from small conversations with Ellie, to arguments with Tommy and Vic, also the scene when they get off the highway and he knows about the ambush. The only difference is that at the end of The Last of Us 2, we have a strong bias towards Joel, which makes us hate the other character. Had the game been flipped around, and we’d follow the other character besides Joel and Ellie, we’d grow to hate them as well.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU 2 é uma obra-prima guys. Os gráficos e gameplay são absurdamente lindos e polidos. A história é mais brutal e contínua exatamente aonde o TLOU 1 terminou. Se tratando da história, nós temos dois lados, o da Abby que perdeu o seu pai assassinado brutalmente pelo Joel e o lado da Ellie que busca vingança contra a Abby por ter matado o Joel em busca de justiça. Isso vai nos mostrar que nesse universo não existem herói ou vilões, e sim humanos, com todos os seus lados lindos e podres. Apesar de a primeira vista parecer uma história de vingança clichê, o caminho que é percorrido pelas duas protagonistas é extremamente interessante e te faz ama-las e odia-las pelas suas decisões. A trilha sonora do jogo é linda, e como no primeiro jogo, o compositor é o Gustavo Santaolalla. No mais, esse não é um jogo que recompensa o jogador por faze-lo matar. Ele é uma montanha-russa de sentimentos, tu vai amar, odiar, ficar frustrado, aliviado e etc. Ele merece estar entre os candidatos ao GOTY com toda a certeza, e se tu tem um PS4, esse jogo é praticamente uma compra obrigatória.… Expand

No. In fact, if    Okay so after finishing the game, I think everyone freaking out about (you know) and how the death occurring and the bombardment of negative reviews is too much.

    SPOILERS

    Joel deserved to be written off in a better way, that's the simple answer to all of everyone's outcries. Was Abby such a bad character? No. In fact, if Naughty Dog Part 2 only about Joel and Ellie, Joel dies, Ellie kills whoever killed him and in Part 3 you play as Abby and her story. Everyone would have been happy. In fact dare i say, Abby and Lev had the closest thing to what Joel and Ellie had in the Last of Us (first game).

    I think the combination of playing as Joel's killer, seeing him die in such a way, and then trying to push certain concepts and ideas was a bit much. Games should show and not tell, but Part 2 couldn't live up to the hype. I will say that outside of Joel's death, this was a great game. A great ride, not the story or ending I wanted nor the path I would take at all. But adding a compelling and motivating plot (kill the people who killed our love character) + great gameplay (outside of the jump button being almost pointless) + amazing graphics. These are things that we can all enjoy, The game isn't as bad as people are saying, in fact even though i started off hating Abby and wanting her to die. And yes even I was like I don't wanna play as her i wanna keep playing as Ellie, the Abby storyline was enjoyable and well done.

    Pretty much horrible way to start the journey, amazing journey, bad transition, good (dare i say great) other viewpoint, bad ending.

    Very fitting continuation of the first part. Maybe not as good as the first part, which is almost impossible anyway. Nevertheless 10/10 as both games are linked and can't be considered as single titles.

    Who didn't really understand the first part - which is OK - should definitely avoid the second part. Gameplay is OK, but there are other titles that do most things much better. This is    Very fitting continuation of the first part. Maybe not as good as the first part, which is almost impossible anyway. Nevertheless 10/10 as both games are linked and can't be considered as single titles.

    Who didn't really understand the first part - which is OK - should definitely avoid the second part. Gameplay is OK, but there are other titles that do most things much better. This is not enough to enjoy the game.
    But who - like me - after the credits of the first part half an hour after the end of the credits still sat speechless on the sofa and wondered what just happened and had to process the emotional rollercoaster ride of the last minutes will find a worthy continuation in the second part.

    The established world is meaningfully expanded and captivates with breathtaking variety concerning the artistic realization. Not only the graphics are "awesome", but also the choice of locations and their extremely detailed elaboration is fascinating.

    The story answers most of the open questions of the first part, but also dares to take new paths with unconventional and courageous steps in the demands on the player. It's not a game like many others and dares a lot of new things - a player who gets involved in the game (especially emotionally) will find a pearl that is rare. But TLoU2 is definitely not a game for players who just want to be entertained. It is a further development of "video games" - some like it, some don't. The days when the whole community was feverishly waiting for a title and loved the game equally are over. Long gone.

    TLoU2 may or may not please you. The game forces the player not to like it, it's up to the player to find out.But if you didn't question the first part and didn't get the real masterpiece of the first part, TLoU2 will torture you. Whoever has opened up this level of the first part for himself - have fun! ... or good entertainment? Cruelly good experience? I don't know what to wish the inclined player. Only one thing you have to bring along for sure - time. If you play the game for an hour in the evening and stretch it over weeks, you will probably not be able to experience the full spell of the game.

It might not be what everyone wanted out of it, but it's use of storytelling and how it explores themes on revenge, forgiveness, morality and redemption is well crafted. It's definitely a game that is meant to be diverse for people who were fans of the first game's story, but this is a whole new story and the only way people will enjoy it is by taking the time to understand both sides of the situation that goes on among these characters.

    Although the game might be polarized by some fans, people might hopefully start to appreciate it more as time goes by. I for one believe these Last of Us games will go down in history and be considered one of the greatest video games ever made. If there is a Part 3, this game might even be considered The Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy. I am definitely eager to see if Naughty Dog will decide to give this franchise one last game to not only complete it as video game trilogy, but to Ellie's story overall. This game alone proves that she is the true protagonist of these games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. wow, this game is unlike anything I've ever played, it takes a concept that's been done a million times, revenge, and makes does it so well. at the beginning of the game, the character Abby kills Joel, you view this as an unforgivable act but as the story progressives you see Ellie become what she vowed to kill, she shoots a pregnant woman and does some pretty unforgivable things when taking into consideration Abby's story, speaking off Abby's story, once again ND knocks it out of the park, this character who does an unforgivable thing is humansed and while that isn't special in it's self, the fact that the game kinda makes you root for her is incredible, you start to seriously care about her and lev's relationship. the supportig charecters are all great dina, Jesse, lev, yara, Tommy and owen. now this game doesn't pull its punches, in the end most of the characters are dead. a lot of people have an issue with this, i do not, the way i see it, every death is a consequence, Jesse for instance only dies because Ellie killed owen and Mel, yara died because lev wanted to reason with his mom, every death moves the story forward in a forfilling way. for all the positives of this game, there are a few negatives, one is that at points in the game, the gameplay became stale and more of a chore than actual fun, there were points were i would fall threw a floor and be angry because i just wanted to progress the story not go through more corridors with a few infected. my other negative is the stories pacing, i think the way the game is structured could have been much better, you play as Ellie for 3 days, the tension is rising... and then your put back to the beginning... yeah i didn't like that, i would have much preferred playing one day as Ellie, then one day as Abby. this would mean the stakes were always rising and you could more easily draw parrels between there stories, plus you wouldn't get sick of playing as Abby, while i love her character there were points were i felt like i wanted a bit more of ellie. despite those flaws, i have to give this game a 9, its an incredible experience, and i know i wont win any popularity contests by saying this, my personal game of the year, assuming cyberpunk doesnt blow my exspectaions out of the water… Expand

    Pros:

    - graphics - atmosphere - sound - music All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned. Cons: - story - character design - character development - plot holes So, even with all the    Pros:
    - gameplay
    - graphics
    - atmosphere
    - sound
    - music

    All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned.

    Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.

    This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke.

    Safe your money and buy something else.

    And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done.

    You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core.

    Jugabilidad: se siente la evolución desde la primera parte, brindando grandes opciones para enfrentar las situaciones, ya sea de forma sigilosa o totalmente como una maquina de matar.

    Gráficos: Me parece que las imágenes hablan por sí mismas, una gran forma de cerrar la generación actual, todas las texturas con un gran nivel de detalle, incluso se puede apreciar las texturas en la ropa, y los rostros de los personajes sumamente expresivos.

    Sonido: Al igual que el primero juega un papel importante aqui, no solo por el soundtrack que te ira acompañando para cada situación, también es importante para poder detectar a los enemigos (ellos podrán hacer lo mismo si haces ruido al correr o pisar objetos como cristales rotos), o incluso grandes detalles como poder abrir las cajas fuertes guiandote por el sonido.

    Diseño: Este es un punto que merece la pena destacar, todos los escenarios por diseño permiten explotar todas las situaciones desde diferentes ángulos, y está de una forma excelente retratado la union de restos de edificios y calles en conjunto a la naturaleza, mostrando estampas post apocalipticas muy pocas veces vistas.

    Historia: Este es uno de los puntos más atacados, pero es importante resaltar que no porque sea mala, desde antes del lanzamiento se habia comentado que dividiria a los usuarios y me parece que eso es acertado, es mundo que siempre ha buscado retratar de forma realista y cruda el mundo, por lo que no esperen historias típicas del héroe donde toda su vida tiene tintes magníficos y heroicos, muestra la realidad de supervivientes en un mundo cruel, y a lo largo de todo el juego se construye una narrativa acerca de lo venganza y lo mucho que pueden destruir sus consecuencias, el final es cierto no agradara a todos, pero no por eso es malo, al avanzar y vivir toda la historia para llegar al punto final va en concordancia con todo lo ocurrido, por lo que es una historia que tiene claro sus objetivos y los cumple, que a cada uno le agradece o los entienda dependera mucho de que tipo de usuarios seas.

    Conclusión: El juego es una experiencia que vale la pena, por todos los apartados podrás experimentar diferentes emociones, y que a cada uno podrá llevar al limite de diferentes maneras, si eres usuario de ps4 y lo empiezas con la mente abierta a disfrutar y poder entender la motivacióin de cada uno de sus personajes y porque hacen lo que hacen, sera mucho más gratificante de lo que puedas esperar.    … Expand

    Well this game is not 10/10, but will it deserve 3 or 5 out of 10? Definitely not.

In a world where social stigmas have been destroyed, of course there is going to be more openly LGBT people, no one is talking about how realistic that is. Imagine *feeling like* “LGBT agenda is being shoved down your throat” because of representation. Talk about bigotry. It’s a good game. It tells a dark and gripping story with fragments of hope scattered throughout. Really cool new types of infected and even a crazy boss fight goes down. There are some moments of frustration, like how there is so much aim drift on a controller (I really don’t know how they expect us to aim without upgrading stability). Playing as Abby was frustrating at first, but Lev makes it a really engrossing narrative. Also, I really like how Tommy gets a respectable amount of screen time. Joel died, that was sad. But that doesn’t give you the right to review bomb Naughty Dog before playing it. There’s so much fake news about this game, just go play it and make your own opinion.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Back in 2013, i had the most thrilling experience with gaming in my life (maybe with life in general since
    i was thirteen), i remember very fondly going to the store and buying the game, and man, it chills me to the very core. Seven years later, here i am, absolutely crazy about the idea of a Part II. Such amazing graphics, small little details that increases the experience when you notice them, it's amazing to see the amount of love and hard work Naughty Dog put on these game. But, we're talking about The Last of Us, and it's all about story, and oh boy, TLOU always been an a dark story about humanity, fear, love, hate, all human things, the Part II is with no surprise about it. The controversy of Joel's death just reminds us about the world that the characters live in, there's no fancy and heroic deaths, you don't get to choose how you're gonna die, and seeing a character that we love so much die this way, it's really heartbroken, but that's the story that are being told. Never in my gaming life, hold a controller was so heavy, and the fear of what's coming next was so intense, never in a movie or reading a book i've felt like this before, this game is an absolutely masterpiece, Naughty Dog put some weight on the controller, makes you feel so many things trough story and gameplay. The flash backs of Joel and Ellie oh my god, you know how it ends, and it just make you grab that moment and enjoy it while you can, and also it shows how is Ellie still feel Joel's by her side saying "I got you, is everything ok". This game makes me crack a smile in the most sudle moments and also bring me down to tears. This game makes you think, it sticks with you, it's not only meant to be funny and that's that. Naughty Dog deliver us another masterpiece, 10 out of **** 10.    … Expand

    In all honesty I really did enjoy the game but I can see why almost everybody hated it. It was such a shocking turn of events that I really did not see coming. Was I extremely mad about how they did my dawg Joel only 2 hours into the game? Of course I was. I was infuriated. But once I got over that and realized where the game was taking me I really did enjoy it. The decision to force players to play as Abby was a strange one and I, along with almost everybody else killed Abby in almost any way possible as soon as I was thrown into her story. However, as I continued playing I realized it was necessary for this particular story. You as the player needed to see that Abby is no different than Joel and Ellie in the world they live in. As much as I loved Joel, I sympathized with Abby (somewhat) because if I were thrown into her situation I would've done the same thing. It's harsh and dark and felt like a punch to the stomach, but that's the world they live in. There aren't happy endings in this universe and I get that.

    I also understand where they wanted to go with the whole "cost of revenge" story line and "breaking the cycle" but to me what would've made this game a 10/10 is 1 thing only. All this game needed was for Ellie to go through with killing Abby in the end. Nothing else had to be changed, she could still walk away losing everything. Could've been a tragic revenge tale. Yeah you got revenge but at what cost? Sort of thing. But instead what we got was a tragic tale that made you miserable and depressed throughout its entirety with no redeeming aspects. Yeah it makes sense in this type of environment but for me personally....it made it seem like a big waste of time. Also, the simple fact that Abby walks away freely kind of contradicts the whole point they were going for. Abby got her revenge and gets to live happily ever after but Ellie gets **** on....pretty damn stupid to me.

    At the end of the day video games are an art form. They wanted to push a message in this game and I can respect it. The story really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. There was only one problem with it and it was the missed opportunity of Ellie killing Abby. Other than that I really enjoyed it. It took me on an emotional journey from start to finish and it's a game that will stick with me for a long time. In my eyes that's what makes any form of entertainment, "good". Whether it's a movie, book, television series or video game, if it sticks with you and has you thinking about it for a long time it did its job.

    And to all you morons/devs....Just because somebody doesn't like it doesn't make them "homophobic" or "transphobic". yOu dOn'T lIkE mY gAmE yOu hOmOpHoBiC....makes you sound like huge babies that can't take criticism. Almost none of the problems people have with this game has anything to do with that stuff, cut it out.    … Expand

I think people just dislike the game because they were so ruthless... it was a tough game but non the less a peace of art. SPOILERS!!
    I think people “hate” the game first of al because it’s “cool” to hate it now but also because they killed Joel, Jesse... and Ellie didn’t get her revenge, and lost everything for it... she didn’t want to do to the thing to Lev that Abby did to her... also this game focused on the fact that there are ALWAYS 2 sides of a story and no matter how right you think you are, it will be a horror story for someone else and you will be the bad guy even tho you do “what you have to do...”
    Long story short don’t hate the game because they make bold decisions... live doesn’t alway have an happy ending and I doubt that will change in an apocalyps... whatever you say it was a peace of art, a shocking but wonderfully written story. The only thing I can say is “Thank you, naughty dog!” You guys did it again!! No game ever has played with my feeling so much and touched me like this game did...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first i did not enjoy Abby at all as many would agree, but diving into her character was oddly amazing experience. we’ve grown so much love for Joel and Ellie that we forgot how grounded this world is, how consequences matter and that no one is safe. Ellie realized when she was about to kill Abby that she needed to let go of the guilt, shes lost everything because of revenge, Joel, Jessie, Dina and JJ. most importantly she started to lose herself. Abby has lost everything as well, her dad, Owen, and yara. they both lost everything due to revenge, it goes to show that nothing good come from revenge. Only Loss. this game is a masterpiece, one of the most controversial games ever and Naughty Dog did a FANTASTIC job with this game. By far one of the best games of all time and is my Game of the Year.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Contrary to popular opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed TLOU Part II. While my expectations were not completely met, I was more than happy with the outcome of the game. The gameplay was intense and amusing, the graphics were very impressive on more than one occassion, and the sound design was top-notch. With all of that said, the story is where the issues lie. While I acknowledge the flaws that this game had, I believe that the pros outweighed the cons, in this instance.

    One of the main grievances I've seen people have about the game is the death of Joel - specifically how and when he died. His death, in my mind, happened too early in the game (I would've liked it if he was in the game for an hour or two more), but his death was not complete "character assassination," as some have called it. If there's one thing that Naughty Dog tried to get across in the game, it's the notion that not everyone has a heroic death. Even our heroes, as much as we love them, meet grisly and unsatisfying ends. I was astonished with Joel's death, but I was forced to rationalize it and learn to accept it, just as Ellie had to do throughout her journey in this game. I wished I could've had another adventure with two of my favorite characters of the last decade, but I couldn't. Just as Naughty Dog had hoped for, Joel's death made me upset and struck an uncomfortable chord inside of me - it fueled my want for revenge, but it was intentionally drenched in grief and disappointment.

    The next thing many people have been angry about is Abby. This comes with good reason. At first, I felt absolutely nothing for her character. I didn't like her, I didn't hate her, I just did not care. When I was forced to spend 10+ hours playing with her, I was so upset that I actually turned off my console. If Abby had been given a longer introduction (possibly with more useful information about her), I would've been more willing to play her. Fortunately, I was resilient, I picked up my controller the next morning, and I kept playing. Abby's run was surprisingly fun for me, after I got past day 1. While I never grew to like her character or feel overly sympathetic for her, I learned her lore and accepted her.

    I think the thing that upset most players was the jarring switch between Ellie and Abby. Switching from high-paced, emotionally-charged action as Ellie, to a sunny trip with Abby's father was not the smartest move on Naughty Dog's part.

    Lastly, I'd like to talk about Ellie letting Abby live at the finale. This final act of Ellie's was not Naughty Dog's way of saying "revenge is wrong" or "killing is bad." To Ellie Abby's death would do nothing for her. Ellie could finally remember Joel in a peaceful, positive state and her mind, for the first time in the entire game, she was not completely marred by the bloody image of Joel's corpse. Most players would consider Abby's death a victory for Ellie. However, in her fragile state, completely abandoned by everybody who ever cared for her, Abby's death would've been a hollow victory. There is no one to boast to, she can't undo the things that have been done, and Abby's death would've resulted in one more lost child. Abby's death wasn't a necessary part of Ellie's life anymore, as her old life completely vanished on her warpath to destroy the WLF.

    The Last of us Part II is based in reality. There are no dramatically heroic deaths, there are no protagonists or antagonists, and it seems that, with time, nowhere is safe. Living can be suffering. The best thing that one can do in the world of The Last of Us is hope for a new beginning. Leaving Joel's guitar behind, letting her grievances wither up, and accepting that the past is unchangeable, Ellie sets off to find where the apocalypse will take her next.    … 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]
