    I think the game was amazing and the graphics was beautiful.
    I think it's one of the best games I've played. And I hate who write a rating without play the whole game. Big thanks for Naughty Dog for this game.

    Achei o game incrível. Facilmente um dos melhores jogos dessa geração. Peca um pouco na transição do Joel, porém a protagonista é brilhante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot is brilliant. The playability, scenarios, acting and characters are just perfect. The fact that Abby wasn’t introduced on time as the doctor’s daughter is what left a an initial sense of bitter and at first I hated playing as her. I can’t say that I like her now, as Mel said, she is a piece of s$&@, has always been and just a few good actions with Lev won’t change that fact easily. On the Ellie side, I wanted all to end on the first half of the farm. It would have been a bittersweet ending and would have given a more forgiving nature to Ellie instead of sparing Abby on the last second.

    If I interpreted the last few flashbacks correcly, Ellie spared Abby because se remided her of how Joel was with her, always willing to risk his life to protect her. Rather than being a forgiving act with Abby it was her way to forgive and let go of Joel and now she’s searching for her purpose. It definitely ended not the way I wanted, the game is not for everyone, mainly because the different moral choices made. But it’s definitely enjoyable and will possibly make few people drop some tears.

    What keeps it from being a 10/10 is the initial lack of chronological order.    … Expand

    Achei interessante a forma que o jogo mostra que existem pontos de vista diferentes do Joel e da Ellie e também que não existe um lado certo da história, você consegue compreender ambos os lados, uma decisão bem ousada da Naughty Dog. Além de tudo, a diversidade dos personagens e acessibilidade do jogo são louváveis. O jogo, na minha opinião, é melhor que o primeiro.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here we are the TLOU2, upon this game so much backlash was about possible leaks, from someone who never bothered with them, i kept my open mind that while i may not agree with decisions, its a story in a world where living is hard and dying is easy, isn't as easy as popping a pill for a bit of depression.

    Graphically its one of the best games to ever be on console and not just ps4, the game introduces a quick heartbreak after we play the soon be villian, something never done is giving us the flip side or mirror situation, we experience why abby has such a revenge, i think if we got to play as abby and experienced the death of her father sooner, it may have played more sympathetic.

    After Joel is brutally murdered, ellie seeks revenge, begins the journey where we come across new inflected, experience new mechanics that mesh great with previous foundation,prone, climbing ropes, new abilities, hiding in grass, as you embrace the new found hatred, you also learn ellie isn't herself, she harbors survivor guilt, she is in a dark place, finding out the secret as to what joel did at the hospital.

    The decisions are not what i may decided, especially with the ending, but deeper meaning is inhabited and instilled for ellie its trying to find her new place in such a world,she once told us she loses everyone.

    For naughtydog its another masterpeice    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was not the story I was expecting or necessarily wanted, but one I love. The start of the "second act" was at first a bit jarring. I didn't like what was happening, but after several hours of playing as Abby I started sympathize with her and her friends (especially Owen). The amount of hate this game is getting is probably because of how they killed of Joel. But the cycle of revenge which the is the games theme is showed expertly in this experience and Joel's death was completely justified. You just have to believe that Neil Druckmann and the team had an idea and that it will pay of. You don't have to like everything that's happening in the story too find realize it's a good story that delivers it's points.

    Gameplay and graphics is also excellent and really fun.    … Expand

Whilst it does not reach the heights of the first it is still brilliant and is a clear demonstration of how hard naughty dog works.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While i get why some gamers will not like the death of Joel, in reality it was the only way we could have Ellie go for a never ending vengeance. As well what Joel did, needed to have consequences. There is always two sides of a coin. I think that the game is excellent, graphically a masterpiece, the story takes risks, as is touching our so beloved characters in a way that we do not like and that is exactly coherent within the world they live and the consequences of the actions in that world.

    The ending, even bittersweet is nothing but derivations of love, vengeance, pardon, break ups...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tras 6 años de espera desde que jugué por primera vez The Last Of Us Remastered por fin salió la parte 2. Hablo como un verdadero fan del primero y he de decir que este no ha estado a la altura. Posiblemente mi opinión del juego se base en la muerte de Joel y en la gestión del mismo. También creo que pase un par de semanas y habiendo aceptado el impacto de los ****s que se narran, este juego podrá gustarme más. Empezaré hablando sobre todo lo bueno que tiene este juego, que es el 90%. Unos gráficos y arte que supera a mayoría de los juegos de la generación, con el perdón de juegos como Red Dead Redeption 2 o God Of War. La jugabilidad indudablemente ha mejorado muchísimo con respecto al primero, muy divertida a mi parecer. La banda sonora, aunque considero que no ha estado a la altura de la primera parte, es excelente, muy buena. Este juego técnicamente es brutal. Pero vayamos a la parte en la que todos estamos decepcionados: la historia. Objetivamente, no se puede decir que la historia es mala, pero si es mala para ser Naughty Dog y sobretodo para continuar después del primero. La muerte de Joel, el personaje que le dio éxito a The Last Of Us, me parece un poco forzada y demasiado pronto. Esto me lleva a que la historia está mal estructurada, debería llevar otro orden. El personaje de Abby me parece demasiado forzado y sobretodo un error haberla **** jugable durante tanto tiempo. Entiendo que querían que empatizáramos con ella con mecánicas como las de Joel en la primera parte y armas OP, después de que ni medios ni trailers nos avisaran de que Abby iba a tener semejante importancia. Hablando de trailers, me parece una falta de respeto que nos engañaran así en estos, haciendonos creer que tendríamos la aventura con Joel, siendo flashbacks y habiendo cambiado los modelos de los personajes. Mal gestionado por Naughty Dog. En cuanto al final, Ellie se queda sin venganza y sin Dina. Todo el recorrido y todas las personas que hemos matado probablemente sin merecerlo ha sido en vano, pues la persona a la que juramos venganza salió libre. Al final, el miedo de Ellie de quedarse sola acabo siendo real para nada. Dejando a un lado todos los errores de la historia y si nos gusta más o menos me parece un juego de 10, no a la altura de la primera parte pero sin duda un "Must Play".… Expand

It was obvious from the end of the first game that the Fireflies etc were going to be seriously pissed off and hell-bent on hunting him down.
    This game is an absolute masterpiece, and on the Pro in HDR is just ridiculously pretty (or gruesome, depending on the scene!). The plot twists and the emotion from them is second-to-none.

And just because it's not a nice story doesn't mean it's a bad one, especially since it's really good written and incredible well incised.
    To really appreciate the story, you have to be open minded, and give the story and the characters a fair chance, and not just be stuck with your mindset you have after a couple hours, which is hard for sure. But only then you will fully understand the story Naughty Dog wanted to tell, and maybe even learn a lesson from it. The Game will definitely be stuck in my memories for a really long time, and I'm glad to have given this game the chance.    … Expand

    Graphic 9/10
    Gameplay & Mechanics 8/10
    Story 9/10

    Final Verdict: 8.6/10

    One of the most controversial game, here’s my thoughts about the game after playing for almost 4 days before grab the last platinum trophy, cling!
    1. Graphic: Top notch, sometimes i even forgot to resume the gameplay and using the photo mode, more alike i abuse it to capture some moments. Clack click pic here and there, appreciate the view, the custscenes, enjoy the moment and environment, even the transition from custscene to gameplay never been this smooth, amazing.
    2. Gameplay & Mechanics: definitely more improvement than the first one. So intense, agile, smooth, fast pace yet so brutal, nuff said. The character control is perfectly balanced and have more ways to reach some hard terrain or area while still retaining the original mechanics from the first one. Sometimes a bit clunky but doesnt affect the gameplay that much.
    3. Story: at first time i gave it only 6/10, but when i finished my second playthru, searching every nook and cranny, reading all collectible from letters, Ellie’s journal, all the text thingy you named it, watching all cutscenes, flash backs, pay attention to details while trying to connect with the first game, man it was amazing, such a great storytelling. 6/10 turns into 9/10 for me. You can feel what the character feel and raw emotion. I feel sad, empty, angry, happy, grateful, regret, overwhelmed, sad, sad, exhausted, sad, sad (too much) but yeah, i never felt such emotion from a video game and kinda feeling mixed even after i finished it. Every goddamn scene with Joel and Ellie, it really hit me hard, very very hard. Joel find his redemption thru Ellie on the first game, Ellie find her redemption thru Joel on part 2. This shows how bonding they are each other with unconditionaly love

    Final thought: despite all the leaks are true, Neil said “nothing compares to it if you play the game from the start till the end”, and he nailed it (Neil Nail, OK!). This game is not only about revenge, anger and hate in my opinion. It’s about forgiveness and redemption. And like Troy Baker said, be open minded, life is not that easy and always happy as karma and butterfly effect does exist and the game shows this to me clearly. Everyone deserve a second chance and i see it thru the Ellie’s side and Abby’s point of view during their journey, it’s post apocalypse world where no one is right or wrong, you do what you have to do to survive.

    The most heartbreaking part is the ending where Joel actually saves his baby girl once again in a different way this time. He just want to be a good father and try his best effort to fill the role for Ellie, something that he cant get with Sarah. “If Lord give me a second chance, i will do it all over again”, Joel didnt want Ellie make the same mistakes as he did in the past, something that he cant fixed it, he helped her once again to regain her humanity and sanity. Killing wont solve anything, it only creates another cycle of vengeance and in the end, it will only consume your mind and body. Because of him, Ellie saved. What happen in the past, stays in the past. You cant undo as it already became a part of yourself but you can create a better future. Forgiving is one of the hardest aspect in life as well as regretting. Ellie’s biggest regret is she didnt have a proper final goodbye to Joel. **** happen and live must go on just like he said in the first ending, “no matter what you keep finding something to fight for”

    Top moments:
    1. The Birthday Gift chapter
    2. “Take on Me” moment between Dina & Ellie

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the gameplay and stealth was all done incredibly. Set pieces were amazing and some of the new characters were actually likable; Lev, Owen, and Dina come to mind. Old characters are just as badass as always, Tommy is a sharpshooting fiend and playing through flashbacks with Joel makes him even better. It’s a technical marvel, just beat my first playthrough in around 23 hours and plan on doing a survival playthrough. I think it is a really solid entry into the series just with not too great of a story. ND tried and failed to get the player to like Abby. No matter what happened I never cared for her. Up until the end when she was so malnourished that she shrunk to the size of Ellie. Do i think Abby should’ve been spared in the end? Hell no, the story is on revenge. That’s what everyone has been trying to get the entire game, then Ellie just lets Abby leave to join the fireflies. Then Ellie can’t even do what makes her think of Joel the most, which is playing guitar, and her wife left her. ND is really trying to vilify Ellie only for the reason of thinking it’ll make someone like Abby a little bit more.

    All set pieces were great, world building was incredible, technical and AI feats, realistic talking and moving AI, responding to names and such, Story was very lackluster, and new characters being very boring are the only 2 downfalls.    … Expand

    It is an excellent game that raises the issues of personal formation in society, radicalization of religion, problems of violence, stigmatization, growing up and combating psychological trauma.

    After passing, you may experience an unpleasant feeling that can be easily confused with dislike of the game itself. But after a while, everything falls into place.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story has its issues - I agree. I didn't sign up for a "and this is why revenge is bad" storyline, I wanted Ellie to scortch and salt the earth.
    However - I get it. I'm not cool with having to play as Abby for half of the game, that part really grinded my gears. But I hugely enjoyed playing this game over all. I love the game mechanics, I love the huge maps where enemies just are around every corner. I loved the additional difficulity of evading the dogs.
    I can actually not praise the graphics enough, the drowned and overwhelmed by nature cityscapes, the modern buildings and technology being taken over by primal forces.
    It's not a perfect game. The constant change of companions wasn't suitable to how I like to play the game, Jessie's death was very unnecessary, Tommy was given more importance than I would have liked him to have given that him and Joel did not seem to be as close as this game makes it seem.
    However, given all the issues I had storywise, I still enjoyed this game a lot. Even if I would have prefered a straight-to-the-point revenge plot.    … Expand

Just in the technical and mechanical aspect it earns more than a 6 so giving it a 0 is pure hate. Now the game is very well made and bugs were very hard to find and the graphics are just spectacular. The gameplay is improved and much more fun, but not, by any means, super revolutionary. The story is what triggers a lot of people, which is understandable but at the same time not. To give a true assessment you have to look at the story objectively. In other words, you have to look at how the story progresses the way they try to tell a story and what they are trying to tell us indirectly (underlying meaning) instead of just looking at what you wished would happen and how you feel about a certain event. I like how the game rewards the players for exploring every little corner with notes that enriches the story furthermore. They have background stories for almost anything; instead of just showing the outcome they offer the events that happened prior to it making it a much more immersive story experience.

    From people just giving pure herd-like hate to people that did not finish the game, I am disappointed to see the gaming community become as toxic as the people they were against.

    Not as good and impressive as the last one (of course) but it is still a great game and I would definitely recommend it for anyone that does not have a weak stomach.    … Expand

    I understand why people criticize this game. However, for me it has been the best game for many years. Last Of Us 2 was certainly not worse than the first part, but in many ways even better! Plot, graphics, characters, atmosphere are the things what you exactly should expect from this game.

However, for me it has been the best game for many years. Last Of Us 2 was certainly not worse than the first part, but in many ways even better! Plot, graphics, characters, atmosphere are the things what you exactly should expect from this game.

    The most important part of “storyline” games is an immersion in it’s plot. In other words, the feelings when you are inextricably linked with the game , experiencing the events, emotions, feelings of the main characters are what you should get from such kind of games. So that’s it! You will definitely find these aspects in The Last of Us 2 like in no other game!

    Throughout the story, which was very cool revealed to us from both opposite sides, you ask yourself questions like “What would I do in this situation?”, “If I could change something, would I do otherwise?”. All the emotions that come with these questions are priceless. You are disappointed, happy, proud, surprised by the actions of the main characters.

    The coolest thing is that the story of the Last Of Us 2 highlights the fact that everything is relative. The line between «good» and «evil» or “right” and “wrong” is often very difficult to distinguish. In many difficult situations you make decisions based on limited information. Often you make decisions that may seem right at a given time. That makes you think about it and move these questions into your real life. It hurts that people are only guided by their expectations of the game. I can't say that I’m an exception in these aspects. However, it‘s important to understand that all those issues for which the game is criticized are in our real life: LGBT, masculinity of female characters etc. It’s an integral part of our life. Why in the world of Last Of Us it had to disappear? Instead, you should ask yourself: why do I feel this way about this game? Please, score the game considering not just your expectations but based on all aspects of it. The low score and sales, by the way, could cause the rejection of the next Last Of Us part.

    Summing up, I would like to say that I definitely advise to play the game till the end of the plot! This is a very interesting, emotional story, which is accompanied by a great picture and atmosphere. The game will not leave you indifferent. So do not pay attention to the score! Just play and decide for yourself at the end of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay: 10/10 - I loved the gameplay from the first one and all they did was expand on it.

    Graphics: 10/10 - Easily one of the best, if
    not the best looking game out there.

    Environment: 10/10 - The attention to detail was unreal, and the ability to recreate Seattle with extreme precision was remarkable. The subtle, “you have to pay attention to see it” details were the cherry on top of the sundae with this.

    A.I.: 7/10 - Still kind of clumsy. The zombies were still too easy to kill, even with the slightly more difficult combat system. I liked the different factions of enemies, rather than in the first game, where everyone was almost identical.

    Story: 5/10 - Nobody wanted Joel to go out like that. (or in my case, at all.) Having seen spoilers before the game released, I knew it was coming and came to terms with it beforehand. I think they dropped the ball having him die so early, and so quickly. Although it made sense, in terms of where they wanted to go with the story. Playing as abby for 10 hours of the game.... hated it. I figured “hey if I’m not gonna play as Joel, at least I can play as Ellie” but it didn’t happen. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Which wasn’t because I had to play as Abby, but because I wanted to play as Ellie, the character I had an emotional attachment with, not some random forced on me. I also might be in the minority about not killing Abby as well. I think (in terms of the story already laid out) that killing Abby wouldn’t of made as much sense as letting her live. I was upset as first about the ending, because first game Ellie would’ve killed her, just like first game Joel wouldn’t never been in the situation where he died. I gave it a couple days, and I’ve come to terms with those decisions.    … Expand

After waiting for 5 years for this game and avoiding any social media or spoilers i can honestly say this now one of my favorite story games of all time. Let me be clear though... I was not happy that certain people died and i was not happy that i was forced to play as certain characters and i was not happy about the choices some characters made. I wasn't happy but it was necessary and not pointless.
    This game had moments where i was physically effected by the drama happening on screen. I was afraid that the writers and the director were going to make me do things i didn't want to do. It was very hard but i trusted the story and just kept playing. After playing through the mid game twist you start to realize the underlying message. There are no heroes in this world and the choices we make have consequences.
    Last of Us 2 is a true sequel in the sense that this whole game is the fallout of the choice that Joel made at the end of Part 1 and by the time to get to the end you will be happy that good does prevail and the cycle of hate can be broken by an incredible gesture of empathy.
    This game took a BOLD chance by holding up a mirror to the player. the game forces you to face you biases and forces you to consider the consequences of our actions.
    If you are unable to look past the sexual preference of the main character( which was established in part 1) or if you cant enjoy the game because the message feels too "political" this is not the game for you. The team behind this game are not trying to force you to like certain things or agree with them. They are simply trying to get you to understand them even though you may hate them. Respect and understanding is what the characters in this story are missing and they suffer for it and it hurts to see them suffer. for those of you who have had the game spoiled and are hesitant to play let me just say this... The writing is Phenomenal and to trust the makers of the game to stick the landing.

There    This game is controversial; let’s get that out of the way. I’m in my 40’s and have been gaming for thirty years. This is the first time I’ve written a metacritic review.

    I think younger generations are going to have a difficult time coping with the plot of TLOU2; the plot is convoluted and nonlinear, pulling at emotional chords that are simultaneously gut-wrenching and confusing. There is a complete absence of a “feel good” conclusion; one could argue that there is no resolution of the primary conflict, at all. All of this is very unorthodox compared to typical fiction storytelling, and that is going to be distasteful — or even completely unacceptable — for a big percentage of this game’s potential consumers.

    If your primary reason for gaming is the narrative, then unless you have a very open mind, you’re unlikely to enjoy TLOU2. That’s a shame only because the rest of TLOU2 is fantastic.

    It is a technical masterpiece with incredible detail incorporated into all of the environments and encounters. The graphical design and execution is nearly flawless throughout. The physics feel tight and genuine — but not too unforgiving — in melee, ranged, and stealth combat. The lighting is a technical marvel, the sound effects are pristine, and the voice acting is top notch.

    In addition, there are vast number of accessibility, custom controller mapping, and gameplay options; they’re all surprisingly easy to adjust and use. These options have a wide variety of effects on lighting, color, UI, subtitles, and much more — far beyond anything I’ve seen from previous AAA games on PS4. These things enhance the game in a multitude of ways that most gamers won’t utilize, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth noting or praising.

    In summary, this is a game with exquisite technical qualities and functionality that honestly deserves high praise despite its flaws in storytelling. If this story was a novel, it would not be a good book. However, as a video game, it’s great. Don’t buy it if you’re not willing to deal with a twisted, sometimes illogical plot. Otherwise, I think you’ll regret not playing TLOU2 at some point this year.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a remarkable game and one with the most intense stories ever. It is amazing the amount of feels you get while playing it and that is one of the most amazing things you can get from a game. In fact, I don't know if we can call, for example, The Last of Us Part I & Part II or Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, games. In TLOU II there's a lot of incredible things going on. For start, game design and the level of detail of this apocalyptic world are beyond amazing, I don't know if there's another title with this level of greatness on that matter. Gameplay also is incredible with new movements and animations that feel fresh and with the feeling that not all encounters are going to develop in the same way every time. Semi 'open world' gives a clever way to show evolution in the franchise. Sound design is marvelous, specially while playing it with a good set of headphones, you can feel inside this world, and sometimes you get uncomfortable when your 'zombie' enemies: clickers, stalkers or runners are ready to hunt you down.

    The story, which it seems to be the matter of disagreement among gamers, for me was great. And I don't know when everyone became so expert on writing and storytelling. Although this is a revenge story and you could say is a cliché storyline, I think this kind of stories never gets old. The message behind and the one I got was really touching and, in a matter of fact, very applicable to so many societies around the world. And no, I am not talking about the LGBTI content which, by the way, I don't get why people on 2020 are offended by.

    Talking with spoilers beyond this point, I think Ellie's motivation was completely right just as right as Abby's. You see Abby as the villain for a long run of the story, but when you get into her shoes is where it lies one of the messages of TLOU II, there are two sides on every story. And even sometimes you can hate the Abby character, there's no denial that you can feel her pain and how broke she went with the loss of her father, and eventually all his friends and love interest. An eye for an eye, seems to be one of the guides along the story, but at what cost? And that's the question that comes to shine, specially when Ellie's actions went too far in the pursue of her vengeance, like killing a pregnant woman who refused to tell her some information. And in the end, when Ellie realizes that she can't stop thinking about it, that she can't sleep knowing she didn't got her revenge, and eventually being that close to kill abby is where the story really delivers, because, for me, she realizes that killing Abby isn't going to bring Joel back to life and maybe isn't going to give her back her sleep or her calm. Joel made his own decision back in TLOU I, and it was a really hard decision but as we can see it came with several consequences. Ellie is a completely different character, with her own feelings and thoughts. In her pursue of vengeance Ellie looses her love interest and she is completely alone, she is forever wounded physically, mentally and in the most deep of her soul. I don't think that she leaving behind Joel's guitar was an act of ungratefulness or such, I think is a sign of what she lost, she lost her capacity to play the guitar forever again, guitar that Joel gave her and taught her how to play, and that kind of wound will never be healed.

    I don't think TLOU II is perfect, there are some repetitive stuff in things to do, and you may feel annoyed going on some missions. For example, Abby's quest for the medical supply didn't got to me that much but it was shocking with that huge infected encounter. It has some passing issues and with some cliché and predicable things that happened, and some plot holes. I think that in a very long time I'm not replaying TLOU II because it may feel really long and tedious. I write this review while listening to the original Soundtrack and I have to say, it is amazing and really touching, I wished it was more used during the story to give it a more emotional experience.

    The Last of Us Part II is an incredible story with one of the best gameplays and graphic design for this generation of consoles. The story has a great impact on you if you keep an open mind and give the opportunity to this characters to get into you. I don't know but maybe people would be happier if this was the third story of the franchise and there was middle story in which we could see more of the immediate repercussions of TLOU I and all of the things between Joel and Ellie after her discovering of the truth.

I really don’t hope that all the hatred against the game means that there will never be a part 3 and a proper ending that this universe deserves more than anything else.… Expand

    I honestly like it better than the first one.
    Next gen visuals on current gen platform. Improved gameplay. Good story that cleverly juxtaposes one character's constant obsession and descent into madness with the others search for good and humanity in a destroyed world. Some supporting characters are not as interesting as they were in the first one.

    En jugabilidad es mil veces mejor que el primero. Los gráficos son los mejores de la generación, a la altura y en algunos casos mejores que los de Red Dead Redemption 2.
    La historia, no está mal, más bien, es tan mal estructurada.

    La historia, no está mal, más bien, es tan mal estructurada. Pudieron presentarla de una manera distinta y hubiese sido mejor, más que nada para poder conectar con el personaje de Abby, porque la verdad está divertido jugar con su personaje, pero no cononecte al 100 con ella. En mi opinión el bueno, tiene una historia mal estructurada pero es buena. En este juego, y desde el uno, no hay héroes ni villanos. Solo hay personajes que buscan sobrevivir, con base en los ideales de cada uno. Es un mundo cruel y gris, que saca lo peor de cada persona. Me hizo enojarme, me hizo llorar, por eso amo los videojuegos, por todo lo que puede generar.
    El único punto malo que le veo es la excesiva búsqueda de loot, corta por momentos la inmersión en la historia.    … Expand

    Refreshing combat mechanic. Good story. Felt like it dragged too long in the endgame but it's kinda worth it.

One that is never shy to taking massive risks and making incredibly bold decisions.

    From the very beginning, this game honours its predecessor whilst simultaneously creating its unique voice. Instead of just repeating what made the first game so good and lazily creating a mass pleasing cash grab, Naughty Dog approaches the second instalment with a fresh and unpredictable creative eye, morphing what starts as a simple revenge story, into a rich, complex character study of the controlling effect of pain and anger.

    The gameplay feels developed, introducing more variety to encounters with different enemy types whilst increasing the many different ways that an encounter can be successfully handled. Paired with the stunning visuals, the player feels more immersed than ever before, the brutality being realised to a scarily real degree whilst the photorealistic character models depict the character's clear emotions through distinct facial expressions and body movements.

    The game is packed with twists, turns and surprising moments. Around the mid-point of the story, when the high intensity, fast paced quest for revenge is at an all time high, the narrative is unexpectedly altered and the pace is reduced to a sludge. I thought for a short period that this was a flaw, but throughout the second half of the game, I began to realise the truly ambitious and surprising route that the story was taking. It's a concept that on paper, would seem ridiculous, but Naughty Dog handles it with such maturity and precision that it elevates the themes and makes the story unique and special. As the game works to its conclusion, the slow middle section feels entirely justified.

    After playing 'The Last of Us: Part II' I can easily say that it is the most impressive video game I have ever played. I felt almost every emotion during my play through, consistently being surprised at the bold and impeccable decisions being made. By the end, I was left in pieces. The story only becoming more emotional and resonant the more I ponder back on it. The story is beautifully concluded, subtly but powerfully completing the character arcs and rounding off the game's themes. This was an emotionally challenging experience, one that is absolutely generation defining; a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is not bad, the story ain’t that bad. Everybody are just butthurt can’t accept the fact that joel died with a golf club and the fans want to see an “heroic way” of death which is kinda childish for a story . Btw abby’s story is not that bad . Just play the game… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I ABSOLUTELY loved this game. Could not stop playing it and completed it yesterday. It was so cool to see the side of the “villain” (Abby) because it revealed how she wasn’t that bad... there were no “good” main characters in this game. I felt as if I played Ellie too little though.… Expand

    Шедевр. Прошел и сразу же начал НГ+, комментарии от людей, которые никогда даже не поиграют в саму игру, выглядят просто смешно. Весь этот хейт забудется через пол года, а TLOU II останется с нами на долгие годы. Достойное продолжение оригинала и финал (?) отличной истории. Аминь!Шедевр.

    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]
