    this game might have it's pacing wrong, but the story is worth it. The ending tho... It is heavy as fck. The whole game is heavy as fck.

    This is a genuinely well made game. Hats off to ND. Sure, there are sections where the game felt like it was dragging - this happened in the second half, where i wanted to proceed further with the story while the game kept throwing more enemies and levels at me. This is my only complaint. Apart from that, this game is phenomenal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story we didn’t know we needed, not the story we were envisioning. Joel’s death was gruesome and grim just as it should be—The Last of Us is a terrifying world and the characters are beaten down by it. Anything else would have been doing a disservice to the bleak world NaughtyDog created in the first game. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but I think NaughtyDog went a bold direction and explored what it means to be vengeful, what the cost of violence is, and how even those we grew to love in the first game are flawed and corrupted by the world and what they see around them.… Expand

Я в восторге от The Last of Us Part ||, во время прохождения ни одна другая игра (конечно же кроме первой части . ) не давала мне таких эмоций. Геймплей довольно интересен и разнообразен, особенно эта физика и взаимодействия с предметами, когда ты можешь задеть маленький кусочек стекла и он упадёт, заденешь ветку и снег с неё начнёт сыпаться, что очень сильно дополняет и без того хорошую атмосферу. Насчёт навыков, они мне не понравились, от силы только половина из них даёт реальные преимущества, а вторая совершенно бесполезные, да и подобных навыков в играх достаточно много. Стелс здесь хороший, видно что они пытались сделать его разнообразным, но если честно я ни разу не воспользовался дымовыми гранатами во время боя, поэтому он чем-то необычным не отличается, просто не плохой. Очень хорошо чувствуется пистолет и стрельба, благодаря довольно натуральной раскачки оружия, очень громкому и мощному выстрелу, добавили немного новых механик, такие как лассо, плавание на лодке, добавлены новые виды заражённых, что делает геймплей разнообразнее. Вообщем, с технической и геймплейной части, эта игра отлична. А теперь начнём про сюжет, он шедевральный, многие считают что он просто про месть, но это не так, он про то к чему приводит насилие за нисилие, вы рискуете потерять всё что вам дорого, убить тысячи невинных жизней, и стать зверем, чей разум затмён жаждой мести и ничем более. Сейчас начнутся спойлеры, кто не прошёл игру, не читайте дальше.
    Когда нам показали смерть джола, я просто сидел молча с открытым ртом, и у меня по лицу шли слёзы. После это я и вправду хотел мстить. Но когда, мне объяснили все мотивы Эбби, то тут начинается раздвоение, возникает не понимание за кого ты, тут нету плохих и хороших, у всех свои мотивы, за это мне и понравился сюжет, ты сопереживаешь обоим. Naughty Dog отлично показали, что Элли превратилась сама того не замечая, в зверя готового убивать всех ради достижения своей цели. Нам показывают, то что насилие за насилие, приводит к ещё большему насилию, и к потере того кто тебе дорог. А эта замечательная концовка, в которой мы знаём то что главной мотивации отмщения, была тайная ненависть к самой себе из-за того что при жизни она не простила Джоэла за то, что тот спас ей жизнь, а в последний день перед его смертью, она в последний раз оскорбила его. И больше она никогда не сумеет простить его, ведь он мёртв. Поэтому она пытается отомстить с такой сильной ненавистью и оправдаться. Из-за этого у неё на душе чувство недосказанности, которое она навряд-ли когда нибудь сможет заполнить. Я считаю то что тем, кому не понравился сюжет и концовка, не прочувствовали их или не поняли. Всем советую поиграть в этот шедевр (при чём желательно в темноте.) и полностью проникнутся этим сюжетом, ведь он гениален.    … Expand

    B+ for gameplay, S+ for the narrative experience. The twist of the story made me care for characters I absolutely hated earlier in the game, and full of conflicting empathy and emotions at the end.

It is an emotional rollercoaster that grip my heart tightly. It has been 2 days since my playthrough and I just can't stop thinking about it.
    IF you are OK with a linear story where the flow of major events is 100% scripted, like a film, and IF you don't mind non-sequential story-telling (Think Westworld tv series, or Money Heist), then I will wholeheartedly recommend you give this a try.    … Expand

    Der zweite Teil von Last Of Us ist durchweg eine Verbesserung im Vergleich zum ersten Teil.
    Zu Beginn möchte ich auf das Gameplay eingehen, dann auf die Grafik und Inszenierung und letztlich auf die Story. 10 / 10 Punkte vergebe ich, da mir dieses Spiel 25h voller nervenaufreibender Spannung, starken Emotionen und moralischer Selbstzweifel ermöglicht hat. Ich sehe mich nicht als Fanboy,    Der zweite Teil von Last Of Us ist durchweg eine Verbesserung im Vergleich zum ersten Teil.
    Zu Beginn möchte ich auf das Gameplay eingehen, dann auf die Grafik und Inszenierung und letztlich auf die Story. 10 / 10 Punkte vergebe ich, da mir dieses Spiel 25h voller nervenaufreibender Spannung, starken Emotionen und moralischer Selbstzweifel ermöglicht hat. Ich sehe mich nicht als Fanboy, sondern überzeugten Alltagskritiker.

    Das Gameplay wurde bis an die Grenzen der Möglichkeiten weiterentwickelt. Dazu gehört, dass die Rätsel und Interaktion mit der Umgebung wesentlich erweitert wurden und gleichzeitig nerviges Gameplay aus dem ersten Teil weitestgehend verbessert wurde. Seile und Kabel, die wir nun hin und wieder gezielt werfen müssen, sind für Games im Allgemeinen keine unglaubliche Erfindung, aber in der Last of us Part II fühlt es sich für mich so an. Auch dass es nicht so viele Generatoren mehr gibt, finde ich gut. Dass wir jetzt auch Boot fahren können und ein Pferd reiten, sind Möglichkeiten, die ich als starke Verbesserung wahrnehme. Dass Looten beim Off-Dialog stört oder störend die Situation in die länge zieht, empfinde ich hin und wieder als nervig, gehört aber zur Dramaturgie und macht mich mürbe, so wie sich die Figur eben auch gerade in dem Moment fühlen muss.

    Die Grafik ist gut. Nichts allzu besonderes aktuell. Aber echt gut. Lighting und Shading ist sehr gut. Auch bei simpleren Scenes wird dadurch viel mehr rausgeholt. Der Geschmack und die Fähigkeiten für die Szenerien ist bei Naughty Dog einfach sehr gut. Das gucke ich mir gern an, egal ob hell und schön oder düster und eklig. Die Stimmung ist immer genau da, wo die Gefühle der Charaktere sich befindet. Nämlich, wie auch meine: Hin und her gerissen - irgendwo zwischen gefallen und verstören. Die Kamera in der Cut-Scenes ist sehr gut. Wer dort Kamera gemacht hat, der kam mit viel Erfahrung aus der Filmbranche in das Team von Naughty Dog. Ich denke, dass ist ja schon seit Gründung so. Schön, dass man so viel Mühe in der Szenen spürt.
    Was die Inszenierung oder Schauspielführung betrifft, bin ich da einfach überwältigt. Was Facecapturing / MotionCapturing hier ermöglicht und mit welcher Liebe fürs Detail man das MoCap Material noch verbessert hat. WAHNSINN. Da wird am Anfang ein blöder flacher Witz von Joel gemacht und Ellie reagiert darauf mit einem Blick, der so gut ist, sodass ich gleich mehrere Emotionen gleichzeitig in mir spüre. (Komik, Wut, Trauer)
    Dass, was sich in Ellies Gesicht abspielt ist für einen Game Charakter ein novum und bahnbrechend.

    Doch die meisten Hater von Part 2 kritisieren die Geschichte, vergleiche diese mit Part 1 oder sagen, dass die Geschichte konstruierter Quatsch ist. Ich möchte an dieser Stelle nur kurz sagen, dass ich spüre, dass die Geschichte zum Großteil aus den Charakteren heraus entwickelt ist. Dass nicht wir Spieler die Geschichte erzählen oder uns gar aussuchen können welche Geschichte man uns erzählt. Wir sitzen, genau wie im ersten Teil in 20 Kinofilmen, die ohne Werbepause oder Ladescreen am Stück geguckt werden. (20*120 Minuten für je 3.50€ ca.) Wer glaubt, dass er nach 2h enttäuscht ist, der gibt das Spiel einfach zurück. Wer glaubt, dass er nach 25h das recht hat, die Creator zu beleidigen ist Anmaßend und im Unrecht.
    Ich fand es während des Spielens auch unglaublich schlimm, was man von mir als Spieler verlangt hat und ich hab das auch sofort durchschaut, was das Spiel ab einem gewissen SEHR TRAGISCHEN MOMENT von mir wollte. Ich hab das gehasst. Ich hab aber weitergespielt und meine Gefühle haben sich verändert. Es war durchweg überraschend und die Geschichte wollte zum letzten Drittel hin kein Ende nehmen. Ich war dann sehr traurig, verwirrt und sehr bewegt als die Credits liefen.
    Jeder der die Geschichte als pauschal schlecht abstempelt und sie besser als Part 1 findet, dem sei gesagt, Geschmack liegt bei den Spielern. Die Wertung von schlecht oder gut liegt bei denen die verstehen was sie da gespielt haben. Der 1. Part war keine originelle Geschichte. Abgesehen vom polarisierenden Ende war das die typischste Zombiegeschichte aus dem Baukasten. Ausschließlich die Character-Driven Story war etwas ganz Besonderes. In Part 2 ist das genauso und noch viel viel besser. Character-Driven-Stories sind möglicherweise nicht das was man will. Sie sind eben dann authentisch wenn sie aus dem Character heraus getrieben werden.

    In vielen Serien, Filmen und anderen Medien sterben wichtige Figuren. Generell ist das eine gute Sache für uns Spieler oder Zuschauer. Jetzt wissen wir, dass in Part 3 jeder sterben kann und das erhöht die Fallhöhe und Spannung der Erzählung. Ich bin gespannt.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the most part the Last of us Part 2 was really enjoyable. The stealth, gunplay and overall gameplay was advanced from the first game. The graphics were amazing some of the best that I have ever seen rivaling such games like Red dead Redemption 2 and God of War. The Sound design and the soundtrack were both really incredible some of the best sound design ever, I especially love the sound of shattering glass sounded amazing each time.

    But lets get to the most controversial part of the game the story itself. Characters from the first were almost completly different before especially Joels brother tommy who behaves almost nothing like the first game. Joels the death was one of the worst deaths in an entertainment product and wasn´t at all justified. Also most of the characters were really terribly written and I didn´t care for them, only jesse, ellies friend but he was killed anyway so it didn´t matter at the end. Lets get to the most controversial new character in the game, the plot twist with her parents being the doctors that Joel kills at the end of the first was really dumb. Abby generally wasn´t an interesting character to beginn with and her friends were even worse. They all get killed and you don´t even care for them and I don´t even want to start about the laughable sex scene in Abbys part of the game. Also the devs clearly wanted to give abby a lot of screentime considering that this was supposed to be focused more on ellie and it becomes even more because in the course of the game gets the best weapons and equipment. The ending to this game was very dissapointing basiclly making my 30 hours journey worthless and ellie just wondering off in the distance all one basiclly achieving nothing.

    At the end the Last of Us 2 was still really enjoyable and fun for the most part. Even tough it is sad to see what this franchise has turned into. It even more saddens me that Naughty Dog could have done so much better looking at their last few games like Uncharted 4. Even tough I gave this game such a high score I am still very dissapointed in Neil Druckmann and his team.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's one of the best games I've played in a long time. The storyline is great, and really makes you think about the choices you make as Ellie or Joel in the first game, and in this one. *Spoilers* By playing as Abby, Naughty Dog gives us the opportunity to understand her motivation for her actions. It's way more interesting than only seeing the villain's action from Ellie's side of the story. I think it's a great way to share multiple story lines, that come together in the most horrific way possible. If you didn't like the ending, you should think about what your perspective about the story would be if you would have played as Abby since the very beginning of TLOU I, and Ellie coming in as the villain in TLOU II.… Expand

I wouldn't say its plot is a masterpiece, but it's interesting in its own way, I was given exactly what I'd been waiting for: an interesting, slow, emotional story with interesting characters, It's worth playing.

Yes playing as Abby for so long was annoying however I loved the rest of the story. The fact that Joel died was saddening however it made total sense and I loved everything else about the game. And people are saying there’s so many u answered questions like wheres dina gone to. My guess is she’s gone back to Jackson to live there and Ellie is gojng after her. But we’re not gonna know without a dlc or third game. So stop giving this game so much hate when it’s unneeded… Expand

En cuanto a la historia puede que a los fans les hayas disgustado un poco el cómo se contó, sin embargo, el desarollo de todos los personajes es muy bueno, el deseo de venganza de Ellie se sentia con cada acción que hacía y está se transmitía al jugador, puede resultar un poco frustrante jugar con Abby después del odio generado hacia a ella desde el principio del juego, sin embargo, la historia nos cuenta su historia desde su perspectiva y vemos que en realidad no era tan mala, al final el mundo ha perdido toda esperanza y ahora todos se centralizan en grupos que tratan de sobrevivir a un mundo violento donde la peor amenaza no son los infectados sino nosotros mismos demostrando con el gran nivel de violencia en el juego que al final es un recurso muy bien utilizado en la historia para entender lo podrido que ha quedado el mundo después del inicio de la infección.

    A great addition to the series that in many ways beats the original, but also lacks in certain areas. If your looking for much more fluid and heartpounding gameplay than this is for you. If you want a copy of the first game story and relationship between ellie and joel, i advise you watch or read a proper review on the game as the story will most likely turn out the way that you hope.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having just platinumed the game a couple hours ago, I feel like I’ve had enough experience to actually give a review of this game, unlike many of the mindless drones who have given this game a 0/10 out of spite. A 0/10 review for almost any game is a slap in the face. A slap in the face for all of the hardworking programmers, QA testers, environment artists, actors, and everyone else involved. Whether you agree with the decisions the story makes, The Last of Us Part II is objectively NOT a 0/10. The graphics and environments are gorgeous. The attention to detail on display here is awe-inspiring. The actors behind these beloved characters give 110% and I would be baffled and angry if Ashley Johnson got little to no awards for her performance. Her performance is nothing short of breathtaking. Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, Ian Alexander, and Shannon Woodward all knock it out of the park with their performances as well. The animations team behind this game are some of the best in the business. Everything from the small nuances you see while managing your guns to the wide dodges you execute while in melee combat, it’s all top tier. The music by Gustavo Santaollala is nothing short of spectacular, just like the first game. You cannot look at me with a straight face and say to me that these things are bad. A 0/10 means that absolutely nothing is redeemable. A 0/10 is among the ranks of Big Rigs Over the Road Racing, or Ride to Hell: Retribution, or E.T. for the Atari. Those games have NO redeeming quality. I understand I’m probably speaking to a brick wall here, but if you take a second to look back on the game with even somewhat of an open mind, it becomes obvious that this game deserves so much more than a 0. Does it deserve a 10/10? I wouldn’t say so, but a 0/10 is an absolute insult, something Part II is far from.

    The combat is taken up to the next level in this game as the stealth mechanics and gunplay are massively improved, almost feeling akin to Metal Gear Solid V and it’s amazing action-stealth gameplay. The story, while a lot of the plot points were spoiled for me, didn’t disappoint. If you have an open mind, and take these characters for who they are and not just “the girl who killed Joel”, then you might find yourself going on a journey with them that you didn’t expect enjoying as much as you did. Ellie’s journey as well as Abby’s are deep, emotional, and heartbreaking. The story is more than just “violence is bad” like a lot of critics of this game say it is. It’s a story about redemption, hate, love, and most of all, forgiveness. It’s about the lengths one will go to to destroy their entire well being for one goal, a goal that they might not even be satisfied with. It’s a story about questioning your morals, what you’re fighting for, and who the true enemies are in your life. It’s a story that deeply impacted me throughout my first 25 hour playthrough. You might not like that Joel died. You might not like that Abby doesn’t die. You might not like a lot of things in this story, and that’s fine.

    The story is obviously not for everyone, and I don’t even consider it perfect. It’s got problems. The pacing is all over the place, with sections of the game sometimes stretching 1-2 full hours in one place. Another complaint: the sex scene. I understand the need for it in Abby’s arc, but we didn’t need to see the sex. The scene’s impact could’ve been accomplished through a cutaway, a lot like Ellie and Dina’s sex scene earlier in the game. The character of Mel is unlikable to me. Nothing wrong with Ashly Burch or her performance, I just didn’t like the way she was written. The flashbacks can often overstay their welcome, especially Abby’s. However, these complaints with the narrative are overshadowed by a lot of beautiful, emotional, depressing, and sometimes nauseating scenes. Ellie singing Take on Me is a standout, as were all of the flashbacks with Joel. All of my complaints about this game have to do with the story, it’s not perfect, but it’s far from the dumpster fire the leaks and leakers made it seem like it was (not to mention some of the details like Ellie dying were just flat out false).

    I’m not saying you have to love this game, I’m not even saying you need to like it. I’m challenging you to see it from a different perspective. One that is unclouded by the leaks and bad reception it’s gotten from many people. If you play it again through that lens and still don’t like it, I appreciate the chance you gave it. This review was mainly aimed towards the people who are closed-minded and not understanding why people who like this game like it. It’s not better than the first. It’s not even better than a majority of Naughty Dog games, but I’m proud to say that I loved The Last of Us Part II. 9/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Parte 2 è probabilmente uno dei migliori titoli di questa generazione. Il finale della prima parte lasciava al giocatore quel senso di malessere, un finale aperto ma incentrato su una bugia. Naughty Dog ha deciso di creare qualcosa di totalmente unico in questa seconda parte, sfruttando innanzitutto il realismo. Vedremo quindi uccisioni rapide, imprevedibili, che non ci permetteranno di ragionare in fretta. La storia risulta essere estremamente più violenta e cruda del suo predecessore, impersonando una Ellie decisamente più matura e di conseguenza più consapevole rispetto al passato. Verremo subito catapultati in un mondo che cerca di tornare a vivere una vita tranquilla consapevole del fatto che fuori c'è una minaccia più grande di loro. Subito nelle prime ore di gioco ci troveremo alla scelta focale decisa dagli sviluppatori, ovvero la morte di Joel totalmente improvvisa e violenta che lascia il giocatore di stucco, estremamente efficace. The Last of Us Parte 2 ci suggerisce fin da subito di odiare colei che ha ucciso nostro "padre", scelta estremamente efficace e ben riuscita. Naughty Dog però vuole ferirci ulteriormente ed a metà gioco ci fa impersonare Abby, facendoci affezionare a lei ed ai suoi compagni (precedentemente eliminati dalla vendicativa Ellie), altro punto di forza che raramente si vede in un semplice videogioco. Questa risulta essere la vera crudeltà di Naughty Dog, che si diverte a giocare con i nostri sentimenti. The Last of Us Parte 2 è sicuramente superiore al suo predecessore sia dal punto di vista tecnico che narrativo. Una vera opera d'arte, qualcosa che spezza totalmente il concetto di "gioco" e che lo rivolta come un calzino. Un capolavoro assoluto… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just start off by saying that I have never played a game that was full of this much emotion and complexity. The game is incredibly beautiful, rich in details, the exploration and scenery was gorgeous and I really enjoyed the gameplay. Magnificent audio and level design and breathtaking graphics made this one of the most beautiful worlds ever created. The story is shocking and real. And overall the game is top tier and emotion filed journey that had me bawl my eyes out a few times but I will definitely be going through that again and getting that 100%.

    As for the story...what I got from it is that this is a story about the cycle of revenge/violence and the strength and empathy required to let it go and end it.

    Joel’s death was brutal and happened very quickly in the game and made me pause the game and put down my controller because it was so upsetting. But moving forward and seeing Abby’s side of the story, her experiences and feelings I realized those events/moments were necessary for the plot progression/character motivation. Now, don’t get me wrong, I hated Abby at first and was hoping Ellie would get to kill her by the end of it but we all know the cycle of revenge is never supposed to be pretty and if coming to this game and the story of it, you expected everyone to live through the story, I’m sorry but it just doesn’t make sense to me and it’s not realistic. I know I did not expect it to be pretty and that’s how it was.

    Revenge never ends well, it’s a vicious cycle which takes the actions of someone to break. If it doesn’t break people will get hurt/killed in the process, it’s just inevitable and it’s what happened here. First with Abby’s dad and Joel, and then other casualties along the way on both sides. I can’t say I love it but I can’t say I hate it either because I understand it.

    What we saw with Ellie after she killed Nora, Mel and Owen, and at the farm later on, isn't someone that enjoys killing and is comfortable with it. We saw/felt the guilt that she carries with her for it. We saw her PTSD, flashbacks, read about her not being able to sleep nor eat, or enjoy her ''happy'' ending with Dina and JJ at the farmhouse. It’s literally eating her away and breaking her down and we can see that, both physically and mentally throughout the game. She was so consumed by rage and need of revenge that she lost herself on the way, to the point she couldn’t continue living like that and had to/needed to go after Abby for herself and for those around her. And by letting Abby and Lev go she ended her cycle, the same way Abby did previously with letting Ellie and Dina go at the theater.

    Now, I would have definitely preferred the story alternated between Ellie and Abby’s stories for the Seattle days. It would have helped with the pacing and that way I wouldn't be rushing through Abby's parts of the story just wanting it to be over because I was so worried for Ellie.

    One other thing that has been bugging me for a few hours now tho, and it’s not necessary the story’s fault but rather my own for being so attached to a fictional character but what’s new there lol. But anyway what has been bugging me is that essentially Abby got the better ending imo. I mean with the end game title screen and the boat being docked near the Avalon/Catalina Island implies she and Lev made it safely to the Fireflies. So Abby is going back to her “dream“ life with a loving person by her side.

    Meanwhile, we have Ellie walking out of the farmhouse to the woods which implies she is headed back to Jackson to be with Dina and JJ. She broke this revenge/violence cycle by sparing Abby's life and letting go of her immense need of revenge. And sure, like I said, it isn’t supposed to be ideal BUT it just sadness me seeing my sweet baby girl hurt, all alone and not being able to play the guitar properly in that dream farmhouse she and Dina got, when being alone is what she feared the most and playing the guitar is something that Joel taught her and connects her to him and is something that brings her comfort. And the fact that she left for Jackson without the same guitar Joel gave her just brakes my heart even more. I get it symbolizes letting go of her anger towards both Joel and Abby but oh man :(

    And let me just say one more thing. If you played the game and didn’t enjoy it that’s completely fine, I’m not here to disregard your opinion. I just have an issue with people who haven’t played the game going around saying the game is terrible and giving it bad scores/reviews all across the board only because they heard/saw bits and pieces of the story/game that they didn’t like and completely dismissed the rest of it solely on those few bits and pieces. I just find that very unfair and pitiful thing to do. And sadly I’m seeing a lot of those so that’s why I’m saying it.

    Campanha: Você se vê em Seattle procurando certas pessoas em uma gangue, porém, diversos obstáculos irão lhe atrapalhar, seja Infectados ou humanos. O ponto Forte é a exploração dos sentimentos humanos, que por vezes, acabam afetando sentimentalmente o próprio jogador.


    Gameplay: A gameplay foi muito refinada, você pode agachar e deitar em gramas altas, Mas cuidado! Essas gramas não te deixam invisível! O jogo trabalha muito bem com isso, você precisa ser esperto e não ficar muito próximo ou visível a seu inimigo. Outra adição bem-vinda, foi os cachorros! Eles podem te ver mais facilmente, e é claro, te farejar se sentirem seu cheiro; você precisará cuidar deles primeiro, caso contrário, esqueça o Stealth!
    Outro ponto interessante, é o combate corpo a corpo! No primeiro jogo, você só atacava e por vezes desviava, porém, você conseguia matar humanos e infectados de nível baixo sem muita dificuldade. Já na aventura de Ellie, você precisará se esquivar muito, pois ela não é tão forte quanto o Joel, mas é mais rápida que o velho. Resumindo, vocês têm um novo combate para desfrutar.

    Veredito: O jogo une os melhores gráficos da geração com uma gameplay realista e super refinada, fora o sentimentalismo que mexe com a cabeça dos jogadores mais de uma vez!

    The game takes some dodgy steps with story and character development, but before we get there, let's praise the objective extraordinary achievements elsewhere.

The detail in the environments is extraordinary with every house, office    The game takes some dodgy steps with story and character development, but before we get there, let's praise the objective extraordinary achievements elsewhere.

    Graphically it's incredible. I compared with the first game on PS3 which was also an 'end of console' title and the difference is bigger than I'd imagined. The detail in the environments is extraordinary with every house, office and shop being unique and full of environmental stories. And there are dozens and dozens of them. The frame rate is consistent. The animations are breathtaking and specifically the blending and contextualisation of actions means that the characters really seem to exist in the world.

    Audio is wonderful. I love how the floors sound different as you walk around buildings, giving a sense of architecture and physicality. The enemy barks, now personalised, along with musical stings and variable treatment of effects, perfectly communicates emotion and threat as you play. The music has a lovely duality; a kind of peace versus destruction vibe.

    Gameplay is more polished than before but much the same. It tends to suffer from presenting multiple options when really stealth is the only one that makes sense. And there's a repetition with creeping up behind enemies to stealth kill. If the enemies were a bit less lethal then other strategies might have felt more consistenly feasible. But there is at least a freshness in the contrast between encounters, achieved through level design. One encounter with enemy X will be indoors between tight spaces and occluding walls, the next time you meet enemy X will be open and flat with lots of grass.

    Ellie has new abilities which add to the variety. Running and jumping yield some brief Uncharted lite platform sections, there's the addition of a new physics rope (which is a technical marvel if not used in a particularly imaginative manner) and lying down in the grass or under cars adds some useful strategic choices.

    Crafting and resource management continues to be well balanced although a strange design choice (which I hope they patch) means you can't fill some items to max if you have 2 spaces and crafting would add 3 items.

    The story has some issues. In an alternate universe there's a Last of Us sequel that's played safe. There'd be some threat to the new town where Joel and Ellie are living. Maybe Joel is injured and Ellie has to go off and find help. Along the way she encounters people who tell her the truth about what Joel did in part 1 and Ellie faces emotional turmoil about what he's done. Now there's a chance she can still do the right thing but she must choose between going off to find the Fireflies or continuing the happy life including love interest that she's found.

    This is not the path that Naughty Dog chose, and that's not inherently a bad thing (who wants a predictable story) but it is a risky one.

    The structure of the story is a little different too. It's non-linear, with time jumps and flashbacks that occasionally add energy and pathos, but more often slow the pace and dilute character motivations. Unlike Part 1, there's less sense of meeting interesting characters along the way, with most of the cast you 'meet' having been introduced one way or another in the first hour.

    I found that unlike the strong narrative driver of part 1 (get Ellie to the Fireflies), the objective here was either entirely absent (side quests for a few days until the calendar brings the next event) or was hard to buy into. Indeed, the entire plot is driven by two decisions/impulses respectively by two major characters (guess who) which seemed out of character, especially after later flashbacks.

    To be fair, I didn't agree with a couple of Joel's choices in the first game. It's an interesting question for game designers, whether or not they need to bring an audience with them like this.

    For me it felt like they missed a chance to tell a story that could ONLY be told in their world; be it something about the virus or Ellie's gift.

    My final comment is on the violence which is so extreme and draining that I couldn't fathom the point of it all. There are videos on the internet of real human on human violence that I choose not to see. The level and amount of violence here exceeds anything on TV or film. And not only does it bother me as a player, but I also worry about ND's team, who have clearly given so much time and effort to this extraordinary world and must have had to view terrible things for months on end to deliver this.

    If there's a lot of focus above on story it's because this was a strength in part 1. But they were telling a simpler story; a giant fetch quest (take Ellies from A to B) with zombies (OK, 'infected') and interesting characters along the route. Here the ambition was larger and it may have fallen flat. That does not make the game redundant; in fact I've not enjoyed a AAA so much in years. Did they bite off more than they could chew?    … Expand

Following on from the first game was always going to be tough, and I did wonder how they were going to turn it up a notch, as more of walking/exploring a torn to bits US would have just been more of the same thing (not that, that would be a bad thing, but would lack anything original).

    Reading the "story plot holes" add confusion into the game that just wasn't there for me personally whilst playing the game. Ellie and Abby being "out of character" because they didn't ultimately want to kill each other in the final scenes (after both practically nearly kill each other in two sperate occasions), Abby had already had her revenge for starts and whilst a shell shocked and confused Ellie is deciding Abby's fate and cutting her loose, goes and back forth on her decision, and finally chooses to break the cycle of revenge, forgiving Abby to a degree and ultimately finally forgiving Joel. Killing Abby and/or Lev could potentially have repercussions that would follow Ellie on throughout the next chapter. I also think/imagine how you'd both feel if the last 10 years or so of your existence, are so full of hate and death, you would eventually learn killing in revenge doesn't necessarily get you anywhere. Thinking about Dina and JJ, they would never be safe. Ellie would then be the monster.

    Ellie being "out of character" because she left Dina and JJ behind, I also didn't get. These scenes start with an Ellie that is finally happy and somewhat settled. However when something so haunting & engulfing such as the constant visions of Joel being killed, sparked by anything and everything wont allow you to live a normal life, of course drastic measures would be taken, I think Ellie knew Dina and JJ would return to safety in Jackson, and would hopefully be reunited one day.

    Also saying Joel is out of character because he handed over his details to the random group of people, this is the only questionable bit in my opinion. He has gone from a cold hearted killer who would never do something like this, to having to learn how to live in a community again and seemingly this group of people are not SCARS or infected, nor did they try and kill Joel and Tommy on sight like most "bad people", Jackson needs as many good people as it can get if it wishes to survive. It was definitely a mistake on his part, but sadly everyone makes mistakes and he got what was always going to catch him up, the sheer amount of firefly's and other innocent people he murdered with no remorse whatsoever, a phenomenal character, but not exactly
    an innocent saint. He killed the last 3 surgeons that had anything to do with the virus, who were also trying to save humanity and do their job, I'm still glad he did what he had to do to save Ellie though!

    To say a game is bad/shocking because you don't AGREE with the story is wrong. The graphics, the gameplay, the game environment, the mechanics and pacing were second to none for me. I also really enjoyed the story and how it shows you how perspective plays a big role in evil. Making you start to love and care for characters you absolutely detest at first, I don't know any other game to try this.

    I cannot wait to play it through again!

    Sobre a história,na minha primeira jogada eu tinha me irritado com a personagem Abby,foi difícil gostar da personagem,mas conforme eu fui rejogando eu acabei simpatizando com ela,apesar da forma brutal que ela matou Joel,eu consegui entender as motivações dela,e nao deixei meu protagonismo pelo personagem estragar a minha experiência,como a de muita pessoas clamam tanto, a morte de joel é o primeiro passo pra história,não conseguiria ver outra motivação para Ellie sem ser a morte de Joel,acho que o problema que muitos dizem do game é a forma que foi efetuada,de fato incomoda um pouco ,mas isso não me fez odiar o jogo,joel foi descuidado,ele vivia em plena mordomia na cidade de Tommy,ele não é mais o mesmo personagem do primeiro jogo,ele é um ser humano,e humanos cometem erros,esse deslize foi acima de tudo o que causou sua morte.
    No fim, é uma história de vingança continua,Joel mata o pai de Abby,e Ellie vai busca por vingança,a morte de joel acaba gerando a morte dos amigos de Abby e de Ellie,mas no fim ela consegue perdoar a Ellie e deixá la ir embora,o mesmo acontece com Ellie no fim do jogo,ir atrás de Abby faz ela perder tudo,assim como Abby ir atrás de Joel(sobrando somente Lev)a morte de Abby não traria joel de volta,muito menos faria diferença,só causaria mais dor e sofrimento a ela e a outras pessoas.
    No fim do primeiro jogo,joel faz de tudo para não perder outra "filha”,nesse processo fez uma filha perder um pai,essa troca de perspectiva foi o que fez pra mim esse jogo ser ótimo,adorei estar na jogar com duas personagens,por mais que o fim seja de partir o coração ,fico com minha nota 10 para o jogo.    … Expand

    The last of us 2 I dont normally post reviews on games that i play but i believe this one is getting bad reviews for reasons that are unjust.

    I understand all too well the feelings this game is forcing its players to endure. Having just beaten the game myself. And naughty dog has has woven a story built around upsetting the normal thought about a game and its characters. For those who have not played the last of us. In breif, joel is hired to escort a young lady, ellie, across the U.S. because she is immune to the cordyceps that have been turning humans into zombies. After traveling all the way to washington state and leaving her with the fireflys. Joel learns that they will have to cut into her brain to get the mutation out of ellie killing her in the process. Joel then breaks into the hospital killing everyone in the process to save ellie. The last of us one does a great job of narrating from joel position and making the player fall in love with the father daughter relationship that grew from the journey. Now getting into the last of us 2. Early on you are introduced to a lady names abby. No lead up, no explaination of who she is. Eventually she meets up with joel and her and her team beat and execute joel, with ellie present. They leave ellie and tommy, joel brother, alive as they did not have issues with them. Thus begins the main conflict of the game, or so you are lead to believe. There is alot of hate for this move, because noone like losing a beloved character. But there are reasons for everything. Ellie then begins her quest for vengence against abby. Tracking her all the way back to washington state. Seattle. Now i am going to stop story telling and start explaining why i believe this game is amazing and why people are reviewing it so poorly. This game is about vengence, and the cost of pursuing it. It is dark and gritty and, in my opinion, very accurate. Ellie kills hundreds of nameless people and quite a few that are known associates of Abbys, and in turn abby kills multiple friends of ellies. Though they never kill each other both sides take major losses. And in a twist i didnt even see coming, halfway through the game you swich to playing as Abby. Learning that she was not always the crazed killer ellie thinks of her as. She was the daughter of the doctor who was supposed to do the surgery on Ellie. The same one who gets gunned down by joel in the first game. This is where i believe people have issues. They WANT to hate Abby, hell she was created to be hated. Designed by the narrater to be evil, bur she was really the same as ellie. Driven by hatred of the person who killed her father. It is a very uncomfortable feeling to absolutly hate someone so much that you want them dead... just to learn that they are driven by the same motive as the person you are supposed to love. The game goes further by given ellie her peace, family, and home. Just for the story to take it away and send you off after Abby once more. And after a rough fight with Abby and neither side claiming the others life. Ellie returns broken, to an empty home, the one she loved leaving her, and now missing fingers taking her ability to play her guitar, her last connection with joel taken away. This game is an amazing game driven by gritty and dark vengence. Speaking volumes about the costs of pursuing revenge, and about peoples ability to see the others side. This game speaks about current events unfolding throughout the U.S. and how us as a people cannot see each others stories. It is uncomfortable and difficult, but is written beautifully to express those views. I would give it a 10/10 in a heartbeat.

    I also emplore you to review it for what it is. If you dont like the gameplay, or mechanics, graphics or sounds, rate it as you will. But if you are giving it poor reviews because of story, i ask that you look at yourself before you rate it and ask; is it that the story is bad, or that you do not like what it makes you see in yourself.

    SPOILER!!
    Joel no es un héroe , es un villano en el mundo del juego , es na persona que mato a todos en el hospital y salvar a una niña que conocio en el the last part 1 , se que duele aceptar la realidad .
    Cada acto malo tiene su represalia . Pero en cambio para nosotros Joel es el puto amor ,ejemplo a seguir , bueno no tanto , .
    Y lo que paso en la Part 2 duele pero se tiene que seguir la historia , Ellie es the last of us .
    Dejando la historia . Vamos al apartado gráfico , es excelente , el sonido , las animaciones , el juego es precioso , casi perfecto . Jueguen lo con restricciones , no es un juego para toda la familia.
    En conclusión :
    La historia es hermosa , difícil pero hermosa , apartado técnico precioso .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the first game and as someone who read the leaks and thought they were terrible, I really felt the game was amazing on playing it.

    The common criticisms are easily rebuked. Joel gave his name because A) Tommy already did so when they first encountered Abby, so he couldn't lie and B) He hasn't been a gruff, distrusting bad ass for years now. He's a community man who has another daughter, so he's going to soften up and in general just be nicer! He's the Joel from the prelude of the first game, again.

    The story isn't about revenge alone, that's only the first layer. It's about how love conquers it, as we saw with Abby's arch with Lev and Ellie forgiving Joel at the very end. Ellie sparing Abby isn't FOR Abby, it's Ellie forgiving herself and Joel for never making amends over the lies about the Fireflies. That's what was driving Ellie more than anything; her hatred of herself for not giving Joel a chance soon enough. By the end she's able to reconcile with that, regain her humanity, accept her dues, and move forward.    … Expand

I understand why the game got hate after Joel died, but we all knew it was going to happen. otherwise, the story was great with a lot of unexpected moments and twists which makes the game interesting. I still think the ending should be a multiple-choice to kill or let Abby. Graphics are 10/10 all the way throughout the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me this game was amazing, I know it’s like a bandwagon to hate on it because of killing Joel and the supposed “crappy writing.” Yes there could have been more expansion of narrative on some parts to flesh out the story more but overall the story and gameplay where amazing. This game is not a story of happiness, it’s a game that shows you the consequences your actions have, to many people don’t care what they do in video games it’s just complete the objective no matter the cost and move forward, that was the entirety of the first game as Joel, kill everybody in your way to get Ellie to the fireflies and then kill all the fireflies to save Ellie, those actions have repercussions and that’s what we deal with in part 2. Naughty Dog wanted to show the players that even though you play as a character and love them, that in your eyes they are the hero and are amazing, their actions are not heroic, their actions are not without consequences. That’s why I actually grew to like the dual narrative of Abby, it’s not a section to make you like her and her group, it’s a section to make you see the lives you are ending, the dogs you may be killing in the game, it’s to show you the weight of what Tommy and Ellie are doing by killing all those people, and yes the WLF aren’t saints either but they are humans with their own lives, ones that go to the gym or some may have children in school. This game wants to open your eyes to the other side of your actions, where as you may see them as validated, the people on the other side may see you as a monster. For this reason I see the ending as needed, it was not Ellie’s right to kill Abby, if she had killed Abby then the game would have been for nothing, nothing would have been learned and then it would have created a truly bad game, but in her not killing Abby it shows that Ellie has grown and that she knows what she does can have consequences, that if she kills Abby then later Lev could take revenge and later down the line kill her and cause another wave of violence. The game is meant to end the cycle of violence created by Joel in the first, it’s meant to show for new beginnings and for a hope on the future. For that I continue to love Naughty Dog and their ambition to create such raw and emotional games, ones that make you think on a deeper narrative, not just kill until you get to the next location and kill again until you finish the game. I applaud them for taking such a huge risk and succeeding with it, and I can’t wait for any of their future projects.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having finished the game from start to finish, overall the game feels decent. Graohics, sound, animation, gameplay, responsiveness, all feel amazing. And works wounderfully! Even reflections in mirrors and water were kinda tripping me out So story...it is passable, the motivations behind characters actions make sense within the context of this post apocalyptic world. Even if certian things characters did that i did like, aka Abby killing joel, having played Abbys side it makes total sense she'd want to kill joel. The ending. Well i didnt hate it. I certianly didnt like it, but i dont think it was bad. I just didnt like how it ended but yet again it made sense for the world and story. Overall though there are a few things that just seemed a bit kinda shoehorned in, or that its inclusion didnt make enough sense. And abbys section felt the most guilty of this. Biggest question, why did she suddenly have such a massive change of heart just because they saved her? A change of heart, sure. But it seemed way to overblown and drastic and felt a bit too forced. They could have done a better job making it seem a bit more believeable. Then again it took place over like a day and a half so eh. By the end part of the game i can understand their closeness by that point of course. Just happened to drastically at the start imo

    Fun, passable, mostly enjoyable story. Kinda drags in some areas, but overall it isnt as memorable as the first one. But i did enjoy this one thoroughly. Ill for sure be replaying it to platinum, but not sure if id play a 3rd time. Though if complete enhanced for ps5, yeah id play it again. I gave it a 8 because it is a pretty good game. Isolated from everything external to the game, its very good as a game. It is a bit rough around the edges. But i honestly can see other peoples criticism of the game, and i can understand why they felt that way. But for me i did enjoy this. Not as much as the first, but i am very happy with the overall product.    … Expand

Ich kann die Kritik von den den anderen Usern gut verstehen, weil nach so langer Zeit habe auch ich mehr erwartet besonders am Ende des Spiels. Das Spiel hat eine echt schöne Grafik mit geilem Gameplay welches mir persönlich extrem viel Spaß gemacht hat. Die Story war irgendwie packend besonders der Anfang und dann scheißt es rein. Besonders Abby zu spielen hat mich so Getriggert ich hätte 100 mal lieber mit Ellie weiter gemacht, das hat mir nicht so gefallen aber da muss man halt durch. Sie haben einfach viel zu viel Hype um die Story gemacht aber das Gameplay die Animations damit haben Sie zurecht geworben das sieht einfach son Nice aus wenn man jemanden Sneak Killt die Gesichter sehen einfach nice aus mit den Emotionen. Natürlich waren wieder die Jumpscares hinter den schmalen durchgängen dabei, und auch andere aber die waren eigentlich Gut außer das die mit den Schmalen durchgängen relativ oft passierten. So jetzt widme ich mich der Story nachdem ich da oben einfach ohne System los geschrieben hab. Die Story hat echt viele Plot holes gemacht dat werdet ihr auch in anderen Reviews lesen sogar sehr oft. Diesmal war es nicht deine Mission Ellie zum Krankenhaus zu bringen sondern Joel´s Mörder umzubringen. Dabei erkundet man Zahlreiche Gegenden mit Zombies oder Menschlichen Feinden die man auf eigene Art bewältigen kann. Rein in die Olga oder einfach alle Stealth Killn oder komplett ohne Kampf durchsneaken(ist nicht immer möglich glaube ich) die Story Endet echt mies aber auch irgendwie Verständlich muss ich sagen. Mir persönlich hat das Game übelst Spaß gemacht und war kein Fehlkauf, ich weiß die anderen Leute sind Save nicht meiner Meinung aber is ja meine. Das Spiel bekommt von mir 10/10 wenn die noch einen Multiplayer rausbringen da hätte ich übelst bock drauf am besten ein PVE und ein PVP aber beim PVP auch zombies auf den Maps das würde warscheinlich auch die anderen das Spiel dann besser bewerten lassen.

It is meant to make the player feel uncomfortable and to engage in something outside of their comfort zone. If you want a game to lay back and play and veg out, this is not the game for your.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the story was great- I think the characters act as they would have before and as such won't discuss that in this review. This is exactly what I personally wanted from tlou2. I enjoyed the introduction of new characters and liked following someone outside of Ellie and Joel's bubble, who had a wildly divergent background and perspective. Dina, Jesse, Yara and Lev, in particular, were charming and I wanted to see more of all of them. I empathised with Abby a lot and while I wasn't personally invested in her love triangle with Owen and Mel, I did like the protective role she took over Lev. To me, it felt reminiscent of early Ellie and Joel interactions and I liked it a lot. Their interactions made me laugh- Lev was pretty dry and I liked it. Abby's arc allowed for a thorough exploration of Seattle and the war between the two cults that controlled it which is removed from Ellie, which some clearly disliked but I enjoyed it- it felt meaningful and interesting, from the teachings of "the prophet" and the "sky bridges" to the resurgence of the Fireflies. I loved the character designs for all of the characters and the world design was outstanding, as to be expected of Naughty Dog.

    My only issue was zombie continuity- I wished there were more zombie variants, for example, I wished that Santa Barbara and Jackson had a different zombie variant similar to Seattle's Shamblers. I felt disappointment seeing a shambler in California after the characters theorised their formation was due to the wet climate- climatic mutations would be believable after 24 years of the cordyceps existing in the world. Also, only one in-game character model existed for the shamblers and bloaters. Hitting two shamblers with a mine would make them both fall to the ground, perfectly synchronised, completely breaking immersion. The Rat King was a very cool concept, but unfortunately not very grounded in reality which might be to some people's tastes but not to mine.    … Expand

Story beats represent the game's reward and compel you to continue the adventure.

    The graphical quality and technical skill at work are admirable and noticeable nearly constantly. It's clear the team making this game chose to prioritize small moments to reward players with technical beauty and some of the best (painstaking) attention to animation detail. While elements like gameplay and story are somewhat subjective, it's clear that exceptional technical skill made this game possible on PS4.

    People who played the first game feel like the narrative of its sequel is too forced, doesn't match the characters, and doesn't include characters they enjoyed the first time around. I would suggest that--if you are only interested in this game for the plot--to watch someone else play the game or just read the synopsis. This sequel does require you to know the general plot of the first. There are enough hints in the introduction to get you up to speed, but the rest of the story will feel a bit like reading someone else's yearbook.

    Simply put, if you enjoy shooting/combat and puzzle-type gameplay, pretty graphics, and a dramatic-for-the-sake-of-being-dramatic plot, you've got yourself a great game to spend time on.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics (10)- Obviously this is a naughtydog game. The graphics are spot on and so is the detail.

    Gameplay (10)- New mechanics enhance the experience of fights and although I don’t like killing dogs (RIP Alice) I liked their addition as a new challenge to play around

    Joel’s Death (5)- His death fit well into the story and the themes it tries to tell. The only reason I find it so difficult to see and play is because I love this character so much and his death isn’t exactly pretty. When Ellie turned up I felt like I was the one pleading for Abby to stop

    Abby (7)- I didn’t mind playing as Abby. I found the parallels between her and Ellie an interesting addition and I liked the insight to the WLF vs Scars. Also who doesn’t like playing fetch. But that sex scene was weird like where did that even come from.

    Lev (8)- I really enjoy Lev and Yara’s story. Although having Lev kill his mum seemed a bit extra. Felt he had enough trauma already but I can live with that.

    Ellie (7)- I love Ellie but I probably love the first game Ellie more. Some of the decisions she makes is just frustrating like stay at the farm! Although her letting Abby go I wasn’t mad about because I didn’t want Lev to be alone going forward in the story.

    Ellie & Dina (7) - Some flashbacks being in different areas could have helped the relationship feel more real but I liked the patrol action with Dina at the start of the game a lot

    JJ (10)- We defintally know who the dad is.

    Overall that would give the game an 8. Although I enjoyed the game (as well as the story) I still found the ending and other aspects to be very bittersweet. However, my favourite parts of the game were the flashbacks, the new Ellie style of combat vs Abby’s punch infected to death technique and the guitar was also fun to play around with. The game doesn’t deserve the hate it gets I didn’t find it to be that bad.

    Anyone who says the story is terrible either wasn't paying attention, was skipping the cut scenes or has the emotional depth of an ant. You would be hard pushed to find another game that takes you on a journey TLOU 2 does.

    One section did seem a little too long for me but the pay off at the end was well worth the journey. The lines are blurred between the good and the bad guys and at the end I still don't know who was right or wrong. Maybe everyone was in the wrong?
    TLOU 2 far surpasses the magnificent original IMO and there's been talk of a 3rd game although where they will go with that is a mystery.

    Please pay no attention to the review bombers on here, pick this gem up and prepare yourself for one of the best storylines in a game. You won't be disappointed    … Expand

    Amazing game. The story is so heartfelt... gosh I’m still recovering from how intense it was.

    This is easily one of the best games I have ever played. Character development in these games is phenomenal, definitely worth the wait.

    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]
