    The Last of Us Part II one of the most masterfully crafted games of this generation. Everything from the graphics, to the sound design, to the character animations to the voice acting is top tier. The gameplay improves upon its predecessor in almost every way—environments are richer, enemies are smarter, combat and traversal are much more fluid.

    The Last of Us Part II one of the most masterfully crafted games of this generation. Everything from the graphics, to the sound design, to the character animations to the voice acting is top tier. The gameplay improves upon its predecessor in almost every way—environments are richer, enemies are smarter, combat and traversal are much more fluid.

    The most polarizing aspect of this game is obviously the story. In short, The Last Of Us Part II is not interested in fan service, period. Naughty Dog took a big risk with this story in that they decided to stay true to the bleak brutality of the post-apocalyptic world, creating nuanced, morally ambiguous characters. Not everyone gets a happy ending. Actually, no one really gets a happy ending. But what else can be expected in a world ravaged by disease and violence? Without a doubt, The Last of Us Part II offers one of the most thought-provoking stories ever told in a video game.

    The truth is, just because people are upset over a major character dying, doesn't make this an objectively bad story. It's actually the opposite—the fact that people are so angry means the game did its job. We're supposed to feel angry, and depressed, and disgusted, and hopeless, and disappointed. The biggest strength of this game is its ability to make players FEEL. That alone makes it one of the most impressive pieces of storytelling —in ANY medium— in years.

    Este juego me encanto, las emociones que te dejan, querer matar a un personaje y después amarlo, odiar al protagonista. Es algo que ningún otro juego se atrevería hacer, esta es un juego bastante realista y la mejor versión de como un apocalipsis zombie se desarrollaría a largo plazo. Sin duda uno de los mejores juegos de este año.

    I beat the game in 32 hours in a long weekend and I have to say: yes, it is not what I was expecting, yes, it sometimes can feel too long and yes, some twists are brutal.... but... this is THE LAST OF US 2. Epic in every way possible.
    Thanks Naughty Dog for doing this, I can't imagine anybody out there taking this risk and doing it with this care. Don't stop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People are giving this video game very low scores while failing to give an input on the beautiful graphics, game mechanics, features, voice acting, fear tactics, etc. that made this game very great to play regardless of any opinion towards the storyline and characters. Speaking of the plot and characters, players are failing to see from the many different perspectives of the characters in the game. If the story sparked some emotions, whether it be anger, happiness, sadness, or frustration, then it is valid. Seek to understand the weight of the characters decisions and don’t be so single minded. The purpose of the switch after the climax was to help you gain an understanding of how hurt and revenge works. Yeah someone could hurt you or someone you love, but stop to think of how they’re hurting. Don’t let revenge ruin your life and integrity. Expand

    Disappointment, that is what generated the end of the game, for me the bases of a good game are: the music, the gameplay and the history, this game is outstanding in the first two points, but the history is not what you you wait (in the bad sense of the word). I don't think I can replay The Last of Us: Part 2 if I have to be frowning during the 25 hours it lasts.

I myself was fortunate not to see any spoilers beforehand, but it was geared up to be one of the worst sequels of the decade according to others. I’ll say this: TLOU2 is absolutely astonishing visually and gameplay wise. I felt immersed in the world they created with no mission marker, compass, etc. The graphics and land are crafted beautifully and the new ways Ellie and characters can navigate the world are creative and ever changing.

    But let’s get to the meat and potatoes, the story: This game will only be impactful if you go into it with an open mind, in my opinion. It seems to many other players went into it having an agenda for what they wanted to happen, coupled with the fact they played as another character they had no intent of understanding, or cared enough to understand, which made for some bad reviews. Personally, this is far from the truth. The story is about redemption, revenge, love, and forgiveness, and as the final credits roll it leaves the player emotionally drained from the past 30 hours of unbelievable twists and turns. Ellie’s quest for revenge and tearing down everything in her path prove to be haunting to those she kills...and to her. In some areas, this game rivals its predecessor.

    However, this game is not without flaws, and I can see why some do not favor this over the first one. The game slows in some areas, particularly as you start the second half of the game, and I can see why so many put down their controllers and gave a negative review, but I implore you to keep playing. I ask that you keep an open mind to the second half, and I promise that the end result will live up the same as the first game.

    Finally, and I feel the need to add this because it because many have complained about this: TLOU2 is not a happy game. Every once in a while their are heart touching moments of hope and joy for the characters, but it ends up either being short lived or destroyed in front of them. The first one, while obviously not joy of a story or setting, had love and hope coated throughout the plot between Joel and Ellie, which made us feel more connected with them. Not this is not to say you can’t relate to any of the characters in this game (I felt more connected with the characters in TLOU2 than the first), but there are very few moments of joy after the first three hours of gameplay. have been gaming for over 20 years, and I have never felt as emotionally drained, conflicted, or flat out sad for characters in any game besides this one (including the TLOU1). If you are looking for a happier ride, keep looking, but if you want a a game with compelling parallels between two sets of characters that continues to captivate and impress until the credits role, this game is right up your alley. I see why some did not like it and I respect their opinion, but in my eyes, in most areas, this TLOU2 rivals the first, and did not disappoint in its 7 year wait.

As a developer myself, i know it's impossible to please everyone, even more in a game like The Last of Us, a huge hit. I saw plenty of people saying that the end of TLoU Part I was "Happier" than it should be, now people are complaining about a character being killed... In my opinion, i think they took the right way doing this, because then we could explore more Ellie, Tommy and all the new characters in some different ways. I really enjoyed playing as Abby, it's good to see both sides of the story, plus, we can see how things we did with Ellie interfered in Abby's story. The saddest part for me wasn't Joel's death, it was when Ellie comes back from Santa Barbara and the Dina is not there anymore, there's nothing left but Ellie's things. I understand that some of you didn't like Joel's death, but the game has a huge story besides that, amazing by the way.

    The Last of Us Part II is technically stunning, with some of the best graphics, environments, motion-capture performances, character animations, and set pieces ever constructed for a video game.

It builds on and surpasses its predecessor (and the games of the Uncharted series) to an almost absurd degree. I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog is able to achieve technically on the PlayStation 5.

    It does all of that while telling a much more nuanced and difficult story than is typical for video games, even in other compelling narrative-driven games.

    The Last of Us Part II doesn't give you the illusion of choice, but it does pull you in and make you complicit in the actions of these characters. When you watch a film, it's possible to maintain a mental distance from the actions characters take. Even for a character you identify or sympathize with you remain a passive observer. You aren't allowed to do that here. You will hate some of the things these characters do, and feel disgusted by their brutality and remorselessness. You will also love the quiet periods in-between and the playful interactions between old friends, and wish those moments could last.

    This is not a game that wants to satisfy you -- it wants to challenge you. Your reward is the time you spend in its magnificently damaged world and the many ways it makes you feel along its path.

    Nothing created is perfect, including this game, but to me it is a masterpiece and I will cherish my relationship with it forever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion Joel's death is realistic and it made the story very interesting.

    Playing as Abby was a bit strange in the beginning but in the end I had more fun with her story line than with Ellie's.

    The graphics are just stunning. The sound is amazing. Gameplay is the best I have ever experienced. The game could have been shorter though. In the end I just wanted to know how it ends and I think 5 less hours could have worked as well. But this is the only small negative point that comes to my mind about TLOU 2.

I'm convinced the vast majority of negative reviews come from people who haven't even played the game. Yes, this game does have a couple lgbtq+ characters, but so does the audience playing this game, and Ellie has been gay since the first game. Furthermore, people are mad about how Joel died, but as far as I'm concerned the portion was written well. He was forced into a situation of being around strangers, none of which showed hostility until he gave his name. All in all this game has the best graphics on ps4, some of the best gameplay on ps4, and a truly immersive storyline that forces you to feel emotions and get involved on a deeper level. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Fantastic game. It builds on the world of the first one, with amazing graphics and great story telling. The banter between characters is great, and the highlights in the game almost always involve interactions between them.

    Cons: Occasionally the pacing isn't great, giving you a little too much space to explore which slows down the story a lot. The combat continues to just be OK my opinion, and with stretches of gameplay alone, with no minor character banter, can drag, and doesn't quite live up to the first installment (which was a 9.5 for me). But pretty damn close.

    Overall though, still one of the best story/atmosphere games on this gen of console.

    For those hating: Stop being sexist bigots. I bet if Ellie and Joel traded places at the start, and everything else stayed the same, you all would love the game. Get your heads out of your asses, and grow up.

    Just finished the game. Absolute masterpiece. The gameplay is great, the graphics are great and the story is great too. It really gives a broader context to the story of TLOU1 too. Absolutely recommend the game, regardless of the reviewbombers (who haven't even played the game)

    The game is not bad, it has interesting gameplay. but only if the difficulty is above average.
    The characters are not bad. but with the transgender girl, as for me, they went too far.
    The end is what it should be, but I was hoping Ally would kill Abby.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing art, graphics, scenery, interesting and a bit improved gameplay from the first game but man...what about the story. The story is interesting and great BUT it doesn’t fit the first game not even a single bit. I know they said that they’re taking a different approach with it and that was a big mistake in my opinion. They could of killed Joel in later parts of the game and nobody would complain. Some are giving negative reviews because of LGBTQ+ implemented in the game but that’s just stupid. I personally didn’t care about that but the problem was lack of connection between Ellie and Dina. I enjoyed the game nevertheless, even tho I was hoping for a better story. First game still holds the crown in TLOU franchise.

    The Last of Us Part ll is a great game. Beautifully crafted and with an impeccable and stunning visual design, full of drama and darkness, it takes Ellie's story through darker horizons, a wonderful soundtrack although not as bright as its predecessor, still one of the best games of the generation and in its genre. .

    Story is at the front and center of a series like The Last of Us, and well-written stories can be finicky and difficult to create a satisfying follow up for. But a story should at least be experienced in it's entirety before it gets written off as garbage. A lot of people who saw the leak decided to review bomb this game months before release. Actual living people who call themselves game critics or reviewers and have large following said things like "This game is so bad, I'm not even going to play it." when the news about the leak was trending, a sentiment which should be seen as entirely inadequate from the perspective of someone who reviews games for a living. Clearly that sentiment has lasted through to release, and review bombers were in full force within hours of the launch.
    Thing is, while this isn't the story many people had envisioned (whatever that means when you knew nothing about the follow-up plot to begin with), it's not even bad. I do admit it takes awhile to get going, I didn't really like how fast things happened at the beginning, but I also didn't discredit an entire games worth of storytelling based on the first few moments. I really like where the story leaves off, and I like that they've established that Joel and Ellie aren't the Nathan Drake of this series, it's a harsh world they live in and everyone has to bite the dust someday.

    Mind-blowing visuals, an enjoyable and thoughtful narrative, stellar gameplay. The Last of US Part II joins other must-play Sony exclusives as the best games of this generation.

    Graphically, this game is a masterpiece. Naughty dog has garnered a reputation for polish and detail in their games and this is no exception. Fantastic attention to detail and unbelievably fluid animations. This is the first game I have played where i felt so strange to go sprinting and jumping everywhere purely because the level of realism is so high that it felt off when the characters didn't act like actors in a film. Every location and area has its own characteristics and little details, and there's never a bland or repetitive scene. 10/10

    The story is leagues ahead of other games in the same genre but that's to be expected from a narrative experience. The progression and decisions of the characters are certainly not objective but every action is understandable. Juxtapositions and relationships between characters initially come off as somewhat overplayed and predictable, but as the narrative plays out the characters' development and interactions consistently keep the player invested and keep the story unpredictable. 8/10

    The gameplay experience takes everything that was done well in the original and both improves and compounds on it. I chose to play on the 'Hard' on my first playthrough and felt that items and ammunition could have been more scarce, but understand that I'm more attuned to save on and hoard resources instead of use them regularly like many players. My second playthough on the hardest difficulty had me feeling more challenged, and somewhat reminded me of classic survival horror games; a feeling I'd been sorely missing, making me love the game even more. Depending on how you play, the gameplay can pace down the story structure and damage the player's immersion a little, but that issue felt minor and was forgotten about seconds later every time it came up. 9/10

    [FR]

    Voici mon avis :

    Points Négatifs :

    - Le jeu a quelques bug (perso j'ai eu : corde qui disparaît et perso qui bug) cela reste rare quand même

    - Musique de Gustavo moins présente et c'est dommage vue la qualité de ces musique

    Point Positif :

    - J'aime beaucoup le gameplay, il et sympa et il a était améliorée (exemple : Ellie peut grimper plus facilement, elle peut ce coucher au sol, se mettre en dessous des voiture, ce cacher sous les hautes herbes, etc... Pareil pour Abby aussi bien évidemment) bref y'a plusieurs possibilités de tuer des ennemi aussi (soit on fonce dans le tas soit on fait discrètement) on peut jouer a notre manière et explorer les environs que ce soit des bâtiments etc... On peut améliorer nos arme grâce a se qu'on ramasse ou bien on peut confectionner tout sorte de chose (soins, cocktail motolvo, surin, flèche, etc...) et j'aime beaucoup ce système de jeu, enfin bref perso j'adore le gameplay qui et réaliste et sympa

    - Les graphisme. J'aime beaucoup il sont magnifique et très bien fait, Les développer ce sont inspiré de la vrai ville et ça prouve qu'il essaye toujours d'être le plus réaliste possible (c'est pas nouveau mais c'est réaliste) on voit vraiment qu'on ai dans un jeu post-apocalyptique grâce a la végétation sur les bâtiment et les routes effondré bref pour moi (donc mon avis a moi) c'est le plus beau jeu graphiquement

    - Les personnages, je trouve déjà que le personnage de Abby et très bien réalisé, ceux qui on jouer au jeu jusqu'au bout savent que Abby et une personne bien (même si je l'aime toujours pas personnellement) mais je l'aime plus qu'au début du jeu en tout cas. Pour Ellie et Dina, je trouve que c'est le meilleur duo du jeu et les seul moment réconfortant dans le jeu c'est des cinématiques entre elles, leur relation et magnifique du début a la fin, on voit vraiment qu'elle s'aime etc... Bref j'adore leur relation.Bref j'aime beaucoup les personnage, ils sont tous bien écrit je trouve

    - Ensuite j'aime beaucoup le faites que Naugthy Dog nous ai fait jouer Abby car son point de vue et intéressent après je peut tout a fait comprendre que certains n'ont pas aimer la jouer mais personnellement au début j'étais un peu énervé de la jouer mais plus on la joue plus on l'aime bien et on la comprend, perso j'ai aimer.

    - L'histoire du jeu ma ému, perso je comprend pas vraiment pourquoi certains n'aime pas le scénario parce que je le trouve incroyables (après chacun son avis hein) , cette histoire de vengeance et bien écrit et super bien fait, j'avais peur de ne pas aimer mais au final j'ai apprécié...

    - etc... (je peut pas tout mettre ;-;)

    Bref voilà mon avis et le jeu mérite 9/10 (mais la faut monter la note mdrr c'est pas possible sinon) pour ma part, si vous aimer les jeu post-apocalyptique avec de la violence et avec un scénario qui se base sur la vengeance (je conseil d'abord de regarder ou jouer le 1 bien évidemment) Foncer et vous aller aimer sans aucun doute.Bref perso c'est le jeu le plus beau et incroyable que j'ai jamais jouer, pour moi il dépasse largement le 1er

    perso ceci et mon avis personnelle et je croirais seulement en mon avis et même que vous y croient ou pas peut importe, je veux juste donner mon avis sur ce jeu car ce jeu va me marquer a vie ...

    Bref merci d'avoir lu ma critique

    Beautifully nuanced writing is the staple yet again albeit with a brash way of conveying it. Despite wavering at times, it’s sense of overbearing morality stems through characters, story and outlook on life.

Por mais que seja contestável o meio como se deu o desfecho do personagem Joel (realmente uma morte tosca para um personagem tão grandioso), é algo que impulsiona o jogar e o faz sentir a raiva que a Ellie sente no momento. Quanto a jogabilidade com a Abby, creio que a Naughty Dog quis nos mostrar que toda história tem sua versão, ou que cada um é o herói de sua própria história. Não precisamos e talvez nem devamos perdoar o que Abby nos fez, mas só perceber que ela também é humana e teve seus motivos, além do final nos mostrar o que um caminho repleto de ódio e vingança pode nos trazer. Ellie perdeu dois de seus dedos, o que a incapacita de tocar violão (um dos últimos elos que ela mantinha com o Joel) e também perdeu a sua nova família. Não chega aos pés do primeiro título, porém a mensagem que esse jogo pretendeu passar, é profunda e muito bem construída.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Light spoilers This game is brilliant from start to finish. It’s emotional and brutal. It pushes the player to feel things and it is sometimes uncomfortable to play but the story is so engaging. You’re often left wondering “who’s the good guys and who’s the bad guys here” and the answer is up to you and your perspective. All the characters have reasons for their actions and Naughty Dog allows the player to act them out, we see different view points that have us going back and forth on who’s “side” we’re on. The violence is often criticised but in this hyper violent, mostly lawless post apocalyptic world, it’s all the characters really know. The lighter moments of the game are beautiful, picking up a guitar as Ellie and listening to her play Take on Me is one of my favourite parts of the game. Visiting the museum and aquarium are a welcome relief from the tense gameplay you’re often faced with. Naughty Dog has gone to great lengths to make The Last Of Us Part II accessible. They want you to play the game, to experience the story and if that means you play it on very light mode with various gameplay toggles on, such as auto aim and invisible while prone, then that’s ok! Naughty Dog clearly want as many people as possible to experience this game and I can’t recommend it enough. 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.
