    The last of us part 2 is a delicate and controversial game and topic to talk about. The story is written wonderfully. It has controversial scenes that make the player feel disgusted and angry.

It has controversial scenes that make the player feel disgusted and angry. In other parts like in the flashbacks, it makes you feel joyful. Its a brutal game and having these flashbacks is nice to be able to breathe. This is a story that you’re not supposed to like because of the way it makes you feel and the choices you make. But it’s definitely a great game. Yes, people are attached to Joel are quite passionate and they feel his death was disrespectful. The manner in which he was killed does not determine bad writing. The way he was killed was supposed to make the player feel angry, disgusted, and emotional. In the world of the last of us, there are no villains or heroes. People die in tragic ways and it's not something anyone deserves. It was the artist's intent to make the player feel that way. I understand people want their characters to die in a heroic way but this is not one of those games. The game is a roller coaster of emotions and there will be people who appreciate the game more than others. That’s how life is. The gameplay is phenomenal and I recommend players to play it on "survivor" because it makes the game brutal and difficult. The graphics are gorgeous and I played it on my 4k tv and I was immersed in the scenery. The music by Gustavo is masterful! I have the 3d audio headphones and my experience was amazing. One of my biggest flaws is pacing after the first half. I felt detached from the experience a little. I recommend taking breaks because the game is long. It took me 29hrs to beat this game and I found many interesting moments that many players could miss if you do not explore. Overall, to me, it wasn't a story about revenge. It was about forgiveness and loss. Joel dies early in the game but the game is still about him. Whether you hate or love the game you cannot deny how it made you feel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is honestly something we didn’t want but that we needed , it does things that many games don’t even attempt because it gets reactions like this one had. Story wise , this is one of the finest stories and more impactful in either a Negative or Positive way, for me it was a positive one but it was not an immediate reaction , I wasn’t sure how I felt , I felt hopeless after the game , but the more I analyze it, the better it gets. My complaints are simple, unlike able characters , weak dialogue at times , and forced themes throughout with ideas that the story could work without them anyways. A lot of people see this as a bad thing , but I just think they weren’t necessarily needed for the story. Gameplay wise this is the funnest game I’ve played since god of war 2018, it’s action-intense packed and I love it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLoU 2 - это великолепная игра. Это не шедевр игроиндустрии, однако все же Нил Дракман (как и вся студия Naughty Dog) проделал замечательную работу. Я допускаю что сюжет в игре может кому-то не понравится, но все же он великолепен. Сразу стоит оговориться, что половина игры за Эбби имеет право на жизнь, если принять условие данное игрой. Лично я принял обстоятельство игры за Эбби и даже получал удовольствие от игры. В особенности мне понравились скорее второстепенные персонажи, которых Эбби встречает, чем сама Эбби. И тут стоит немного поговорить о структуре игры за неё.
    Во-первых, Эбби это явное отражение Джоэла из Первой части. И в этом, как мне кажется, и кроется главная проблема игры за неё - она пуста. Пуста на столько же, насколько в начале пуст Джоэл. Но разница Эбби и Джоэла заключается в их спутниках. Лев сам по себе очень сильно напоминает Элли из конца игры, когда они уже дошли до Больницы. И это главная проблема игры - поворот с пощадой Элли не работает на полную. Игра за Эбби - это примерно как игра за Джоэла в конце игры, только растянуть её до 10~ часов. Это просто уныло.
    Однако это моя единственная претензия к игре, потому что во всем остальном - это шедевр поколения, игра которая точно принесет вам ураган эмоций.    … Expand

I hated the story and the writers as much as everyone, of course i didn't want Joel being killed by some ma'am, but as the game goes on you realised that it is masterfully crafted, like, i really hated abby, but you can't avoid to feel some kind of empathy for her. I love this game cause it was brave and it did things that could have gone awful, but it worked so ewell that now i even like Abby, my man's killer.

    I'm sure that almost everyone who disliked this game, didn't even played it, like, i get it, maybe some people didn't get to connect with abby, but c'mon, it's a good game and it can't fail so bad when it is that great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I adored the first game, it was one of the first games I’d played outside of the platformer/racing genre and certainly the first survival horror – I hated zombies. But the first one just drew me in and made me love it, in large part due to the relationship between Joel and Ellie but mostly Ellie’s character, I just loved her. First of all, the graphics, the atmosphere, the immersiveness were 10/10 for me. I was on the edge of my seat so many times, heart racing, holding my breath, I yelled at my OH a few times for making noise in case the clickers heard me. The soundtrack, ramping up the volume as I got closer to combat, the noise when I could be seen by an enemy, the first whistle by the Seraphites - all just added to the fear, the panic and experience. I got so into it. The gameplay for me was a step up from the first one, it was cleaner, it was more imaginative – I enjoyed the new actions such as going prone and climbing ropes – blatantly lifted from Uncharted, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I did miss the controller sounds – both when shaking the flashlight and the clickers – the sound of the clickers through the controller in Pt1 put the fear of god in me like nothing else ever did. I went in blind to the story, I had no idea about what was going to happen. I knew opinions were divided, and I was nervous because I wanted to love it, I really did. I didn’t know who Dina was and it took me so long to like her. TBH Jesse barely registered, and maybe it says a lot about me but but I wasn't that fussed when he died. I couldn’t wait for the inevitable moment when I got to smash Abby’s head in. And then the split happened, and I hated it, I sped through her Day 1 as quickly as I could and I thought this is dragging and I knew that the bad reviews were right, and they’d ruined it and I was so annoyed, but I’d looked forward to it enough to continue going…and I fell for it hook line and sinker, I started to empathise with her, I felt like I understood her. I adored the parallels between the stories, and how her story explained part of Ellie’s – the zebra was her giraffe. The aquarium was her museum. Her relationship with Lev had echoes of Joel’s relationship with Ellie to me. The easter eggs were great – I yelled out loud when I found the Sic Parvis Magna ring in the bank. Don’t get me wrong – my loyalty will be forever with Joel and Ellie - the museum scene, and the guitar scenes, and the flashback at the end where they decide to try and rebuild their relationship ruined me and I’m tearing up even thinking about it – and if I had to choose it would be Ellie all day long. But I loved that my empathy with Abby’s character made me feel remorse for what I’d done as Ellie. Playing fetch with Alice broke my heart and I genuinely cried. I could take or leave Nora (definitely cheered when Ellie called her the C word), Owen (what a dick) and Mel (pregnant, but a **** and with issues around controlling her boyfriend) but the dogs really hurt ☹

    When it got to the theatre fight I was chanting to myself “please don’t make me kill Ellie” but equally at the end fight I was “please don’t make me kill Abby”. I get why people didn’t like it. Such a brutal decision so early on is so polarising and I can totally see why people didn’t warm to Abby – as Mel put it, she was a piece of **** But forcing me to realise the consequences of Ellie’s actions and that I was just repeating what she had gone through really got to me and I really wanted them to get to that “it’s not worth it” moment. And I was glad that they did and I got an incredible experience – it was enjoyable but it was also stressful and scary (I haven’t even mentioned the rat king!) and I loved every second of it because it wasn’t the typical a-to-z teenager gets revenge for her father story (of which there are many, clearly). Overall, hats off to ND for an emotionally challenging, thought provoking, ****-my-pants-at-times experience.    … Expand

    The initially low user score reflects unfortunate review bombing by people who dislike the themes and representations within the game before release, or by people who were unhappy that the story didn't play out how they wanted it to.

    Naughty Dog have done a great job of polarising players. Whatever your take on it, you can't deny the care and attention the team poured into this game. Like    The initially low user score reflects unfortunate review bombing by people who dislike the themes and representations within the game before release, or by people who were unhappy that the story didn't play out how they wanted it to.

    Naughty Dog have done a great job of polarising players. Whatever your take on it, you can't deny the care and attention the team poured into this game. Like the devs said: part 1 is about love, part 2 is about hate. They're able to present a story using this medium that they couldn't in film, and that's fine by me.

    I honestly don't understand the "lazy writing" or "political agenda" narratives. You're playing damaged individuals who are consumed by hate and vengeance. If your expectation is that you'll play a game with the same uplifting character development as the first game, you'll be sorely disappointed. The whole point is you're experiencing the descent into unadulterated hate above all else.

    As for representation of LGBT and race: it's not forced into the story to tick the diversity box. It's a relationship. The last relationship Ellie might have, and how she balances that against the all consuming memories of her past. The fact that she's female is irrelevant.

    Sound Design: Every single detail related to sound in this game was nailed! From the breaking of glass, to the crunching of snow underfoot, to the gunfire in different environments, to the immaculately well-done voice acting, this game immerses you quickly with how well made the sound structure of each individual moment is. While the soundtrack was a bit lacking compared to the first game it still succeeded in driving home the emotionality of the story. Score: 9.25

    Level Design: Much less linear than the first game, the moments in which you are in combat are done remarkably well. There are many more moments of tense gunfights both against the living as well as the dead compared to the first game, and these rarely feel stale thanks to the options when it comes to engaging your opponent, whether that be "guns blazing," stealth, or avoiding the enemy. Score: 10

    Graphics: Best in the industry. That's it. That's the paragraph. Score: 10

    Story: This is not what the average toxic fanboy wanted - a typical revenge story. Instead, this is a story with complex motives and reasonings as well as characters who each follow their own beliefs. As it is a sequel, it is difficult to flesh out the development for the characters like it would be in the original IP, however, Naughty Dog did well directing those moments in flashback sequences. Pacing is an area of the game that struggles. There are often moments where you may be overwhelmed with the slog of tasks to do as you struggle from place to place in Seattle - this is the game's weakest point, in my opinion, giving you multiple false endings before the satisfying real one. While the pacing was tough to overlook, the end made it all worth it. Score: 9

Геймплей на голову выше первой части, он дает чувство полного погружения и переживания за происходящее. Все эти ползанья, сбивание следа от собак, огромное количество способов убить противника или просто пробежать мимо... 10/10
    Сюжет гениальностью хоть и не блещет, но тоже интересен. Переживаешь сначала за Элли, её чувства от потери Джоэла, потом за её психику после череды убийств, видишь, как она становится монстром и теряет себя от жажды мести. Эбби сначала была неприятна, первое время так и хотелось её нарочно скидывать с высоты и отдавать щелкунам на съеденье. Но потом понимаешь и её мотивацию. Тронули её отношения с Левом и то, как она преодолела свои кошмары после смерти отца. Но, к сожалению, все эти чувства не сравнятся с опытом первой части. Не дотянули, чего-то не хватило. Возможно, это из-за чрезмерного распыления на кучу персонажей и невозможность полностью переживать им, их смерть не цепляет как должна. Или из-за рванного повествования от лица Элли и Эбби. Хотелось немного больше, чтоб проникнуться.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II es uno de esos videojuegos que son difíciles de calificar, no solo por la oscura historia que cuenta, sino también por lo arriesgado del movimiento de ND. Cuando uno estudia guionismo lo primero que se aprende es que existen 3 tipos de finales en general, los finales felices, los finales complacientes y finalmente los finales trágicos, como es el caso de este The Last Of Us, obviamente este último es el más arriesgado y desde el vamos se sabe que generará polémica, sobretodo si es una secuela, sin embargo, a diferencia de otros ejemplos que se me ocurren, The Last Of Us Part II sabe manejarlo de manera adecuada. No voy a mentir, en mi primera partida hubieron varias partes que no me gustaron (en específico la historia de Abby y su extensa duración), pero luego de haber terminado el juego ya 2 veces y haberlo platinado, uno puede comprender la razón de la existencia de esa parte en la historia, ya que no solo nos sirve para entender las motivaciones de este personaje, sino que también es un intento del juego de generar en el jugador uno de los sentimientos más difíciles: la empatía. Obviamente, yo soy de los que hubiera preferido jugar el 100% con Ellie, pero habiendo terminado el juego hace casi 2 semanas y habiéndolo reflexionado, en mi opinión la parte de Abby esta completamente justificada y no concebiría la historia de la misma manera de no ser por ella.

    Otra parte que me gustaría destacar es sobre el final del juego (la parte desde que Ellie llega a Santa Bárbara hasta la pelea final), por lo menos en mi caso, a estas alturas mi nivel de inmersión era total, el ponerse en los zapatos de Ellie, el encontrarse ya cansado de luchar y con la ansiedad de no saber que pasaría al final debido a la naturaleza oscura de esta historia, es una sensación que ningún otro videojuego o película habían generado en mi, en especial durante la pelea final con Abby donde uno como jugador ya se encuentra exhausto (igual que Ellie) y usa sus última energías para pelear sin saber ya si es lo correcto realmente.

    En cuanto a personajes, me parecieron todos correctos, en la parte de Ellie: Dina me pareció buen personaje y logró complementar bien a Ellie, además de que sirvió como su apoyo para que no decayera en la locura la mayoría de la aventura; El personaje de Jesse también me pareció correcto, mi único "pero" es con Tommy, hubiera preferido que se le diera mas participación, ya que salvo la parte del francotirador y algunos momentos específicos, no se le vio mucho y en las escenas importantes quedaba noqueado desde el inicio (como en el teatro)
    En la historia de Abby: el personaje que mas me gustó fue por lejos Lev, me pareció buen complemento y su personalidad me sorprendió, lo que si extrañé fue el sentir mas empatía con los WLF, salvo quizás con Owen en algunos momentos vagos, no logré empatizar con ninguno de ellos (muchísimo menos con Manny que es el personaje que más odié del juego)

    Finalmente, uno de los temas más polémicos del juego: la muerte de Joel; por mucho que me haya dolido, yo creo que era necesaria para justificar el desarrollo de la historia y el personaje de Ellie (porque si, si iban a repetir lo mismo de la parte 1 pero con Ellie y Joel más viejos no había razón de ser de este juego), aunque si hubiera preferido que se diera de otra forma, pero considerando la ambientación post-apocalíptica del juego es lo normal. Y nuevamente insisto que para mí esta completamente justificada su muerte, de la misma manera que la muerte de Sarah en la parte 1 sirve para justificar la historia y desarrollo de Joel.

    El epílogo es correcto considerando la naturaleza trágica del guión, de hecho es probablemente el final más deprimente que he visto en videojuego alguno (dentro de los que yo considero que tienen buenos finales), ni siquiera NieR: Automata, el cual a pesar de ser de naturaleza trágica, tiene un final feliz a la larga (uno de ellos). El ver a Ellie regresando a su hogar, notar que Dina la abandonó y darse cuenta que lo perdió todo por su afán de vengarse, sirve como máximo punto de madurez para ella, haciendo la comparación a como era durante el primer juego y la mayor parte del segundo.

    Finalmente, en cuanto a gráficos y jugabilidad no tengo mucho que decir, el juego es una delicia en estos apartados, y eso considerando que lo corrí en una PS4 normal (del año 2014), no me quiero imaginar como será en una PS4 PRO, de lejos lo mejor que tuve la oportunidad de jugar en esta generación.

    En conclusión, The Last Of Us Part II me pareció un juego redondo, y lo más importante (y es la razón por la cuál le doy un 10) es que logró algo que casi nunca me sucede, y es el hecho de marcarme, son muy pocas historias las que logran hacerse un hueco en ti al punto de que aunque lo hayas terminado hace tiempo, los personajes, historias y sentimientos que sentiste al jugarlo, se queden ahí contigo por siempre.    … Expand

Telling the story from both sides was something I never thought needed being done but it definitely added to how I felt at the end, I almost didn’t want to finish it and have Ellie try that last time to get her revenge because I actually felt deeply about both characters. The sounds design was amazing and the gameplay mechanics and HUD never felt clunky, in the way or over the top. This is a game I’d play again for the same reason I would read a book, I can’t put it down.

    Minor Pacing Issues. A sad overall story. Not just a game but more so a story with gameplay mixed in. Its not happy per se, its not sad per se. Its at worst an in depth look at the human condition of dealing with grief loss and revenge. At best, its a meticulous and well crafted masterpiece that transcends the medium completely and is beyond human ccomprehension. Either way, its amazing.

Review regarding the story: it was a great story, shows that death does come out of nowhere, with no warning and not everyone gets a superhero death like Iron Man or gets to live happily ever after like captain America. Once you truly understand the story you become more understanding of all the characters. No one is a hero, everyone is a villain in someone else's story. We are all used to happily ever after and that is what we expected in this but in the first game Sarah died, Tess died, Marlene died, Riley died and there was no cure. The story has always been dark and death in an apocalypse is common. Doesn't mean that it won't hurt but you can't really prepare because it is out of nowhere.… Expand

I'd risk to say that is the most incredible narrative I've ever seen in games, many important topics appear in this game- even though the "basic line" is pretty simple: a revenge story. The choice by two protagonists- one the villain of the other, both heroes of their own story, is an absolute revolution in games narratives. Graphics at their best in this game, so resuming:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Characters development: 10/10
    Narrative: 10/10
    Soundtrack: 10/10
    Gameplay: 9/10 - It could get a bit repetitive

    For me this is easily the game of the decade- for sure deserves the GOTY. An only experience everyone should try!
    Many "Joel's widows" are complaining about the game, but it just tell us about themselves- most of them really incapable of accepting new experiences and thing more seriously about the whole game experience, this game is not for those who can't have empathy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had much to say at around the 3 hour mark of the game, but I refuse to review a game unless I have completed at least a single play through. The game is nearly 40+ hours, depending on if you, like me, like to search every nook and cranny. I finally completed the game and am left with many, many swirling thoughts. First off, I must applaud the gameplay, game mechanics, graphics, environment, music, mo-cap animations, voice acting; all of these are fantastic. The first thing that amazed me was stepping into a pool of blood and walking into the snow - bloody footprints! The details are much appreciated, like Ellie putting on her hood when it rains. Oh, and the effort they put in to simulate the guitar chords and notes by strumming/picking the touchpad? Genius! But let’s get back to the 3 hour mark. It’s here where we realize, whether we like it or not, video game stories and narratives have really evolved in the past decade. No longer are our protagonists invincible. The way the story is told here has intent to mislead us in many ways, but also weaves a path for us to understand things by showing us tidbits of information in a certain order, which is not chronological. We are filled with anger at first, just like in reality where we deal with emotions. As we play through Ellie’s story, we destroy everything in our path for vengeance. Initial emotions justify all our actions. The narrative changes perspectives midway through the game to show you Abby. Her story is shown to you through her eyes and (depending on the audience, you, of course, but hopefully M for Mature, right?) you can’t help but start to realize that she’s not the person you thought she was. In fact, Abby is getting revenge for her own father’s death. We learn that she’s a normal girl with a good heart and even she soon realizes that Isaac and the WLF’s goals are just insane. We’re playing with dogs in her storyline instead of shooting them. Then the game brings us to the supposed finale of Ellie and Abby’s encounter - before Abby is able to succumb to spiraling down the toxic path of anger and vengeance, Lev is able to utter just her name and she stops. It is here that Abby redeems herself. Lev can be seen as Abby’s light and support. Ellie, on the other hand, unfortunately does not have that. After seeing all the cutscenes, we learn that Ellie was about to repair her and Joel’s relationship, but the path to that forgiveness was stripped from her the following day. With Joel gone, Ellie’s only link to her purpose in life is also extinguished. Blaming Joel for taking her meaning of life away when he decided that she gets to live has made her so angry she bursts out that she’ll never forgive him. And now the chance is gone. So we learn that the anger not only stemmed from vengeance, but also at herself, for not being able to forgive Joel when she had the chance. In the true ending, Ellie finally lets go of that anger when she takes her hands off Abby. She envisions an image of Joel - this is the same Joel in the flashback we soon see, when she starts to make amends with him. It’s here when we believe that she truly forgives him for his decision, thus allowing her to let go of her anger. In the final depressing scene at the farmhouse, you witness everything that Ellie has lost during her path of vengeance; Jesse(did no one grieve him?) Tommy’s relationship, Dina, JJ, Jackson, her 2 fingers. And finally, because of her loss of fingers, is unable to play Joel’s song, resulting in the loss of the final connection to him. She leaves everything behind, including the guitar she can no longer play. She let’s go of all that is related to her past and walks into the sunset. Will we see her again in Part 3? As depressing as the ending is (it’s an apocalypse!), the IP has taken a dark turn. Part 1 was focused on Hope. Perhaps Part 3 will be about a new identity, for both Ellie and Abby. After the credits, the main title screen turns from dark gloom to a sunny beach. It hints at Abby and Lev making it to their destination to seek the Fireflies. Overall, the narrative is definitely all over the place (similar to this review?), but it was intentionally told the way it is to set you in the path of how the game wanted you to feel in the first place. Our anger was with Ellie in the first half of the game. True anger. That could have only been possible, to share such anger with Ellie, is for her (and us) to lose someone we loved for years. The story, unlike many other games, reflects upon reality, where the fact is that we can lose someone at a moment’s notice, unable to do anything about it, and sometimes is, unfortunately, a grim and undignified death. I wonder how the game would have played if we were to see everything in chronological order? We might not have the same experience. Kudos for many Asians in game, whether good or bad. Very unsettled with what happens to Abby. Cutscene ambushes are the worst. Seriously.… Expand

    I understand people despite the concept that they thought they are able to "choose" that's why i gave it 9.5 since you can't choose anything. We just an observer of this story, and also nothing with that because it's developer choices. I don't feel like i was force to do anything since i just pursue this game as it meant to be as for entertainment. But i don't find the story is disappointing for me. I already try my 2nd play through too and each time progress i reach i found more and more small details i have missed. And if you can compile those details together, you can say this game is really well done like piece of craftsmanship works. The expression, body physical reaction, realistic of light / sound and visual. I can say it here out loud that people who gave 0, never play game or they are bias / troll.

I recommend this wholeheartedly, with one reservation - if you are open-world are bust, you might feel hamstrung. This game is not structured that way.

    Only one thing i would point out that not everyone will enjoy the story for abby.
    But over time you will find that even abby experienced something and did not kill joel in the beginning for no reason.    … Expand

    Apart from some pacing issues this is a fantastic game. The gameplay might split people’s opinions but the visuals and story are at the top of what has been done with video games.

    An incredibly well made game. Every detail is considered, from the previous game to every complex character and the way they intersect in the game world. It is gut wrenching and beautiful at the same time.

    I learned to hate Ellie, because she became a blind psychopath, didn't care for her friends anymore and chose revenge over everything else. Lovely, the other side was so much more sympathic, caring and loyal.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't understand why people are hating this game. "Oh my favorite character dies, boo-whoo!" Well, welcome to the real world. Cause that's what TLOU Part 2 is: the real world, with real people, in a post apocalyptic view. And just like the real world, no one is immortal. We're all human beings and our lives could be cut short in any moment. "But the entire story is just non sensical! I mean, all of this just to get revenge and in the end, Ellie lets Abby go? That's **** Yeah, because I'm sure that if a person you loved was killed like that in front of your eyes you would take a break and veeeery calmly come up with a plan on how to get your revenge. Surely you wouldn't act on impulse, pushed by the hate, no no. And in case you didn't notice, the more time passes, the more Ellie realizes that she wasn't doing the right thing, especially after the fight in the theater, where Abby spares her (and Dina) for the second time. But then, convinced by Tommy, she wants to go find Abby again, and in the final battle she understand that her sleepless nights were not due to Abby being alive, but on how her relationship with Joel ended. Ellie will never be able to tell Joel that she was sorry for how she treated him and for what she told him. That's why she lets Abby go. Killing her wouldn't have solved anything. Plus, the Abby gameplay was crucial to the story, to make you understand her point of view; to make you understand that neither Ellie nor Abby are right or wrong. Every hero is someone else's villain, remember that. Now that I took this out of my chest, what can I say about the game? Truly a masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just awesome. She is ten times better than the first part. The gameplay has become much more diverse and interesting. Graphics, animation and details are the most important advantages of the game. The plot is very good. He made me feel completely different emotions: fear, hatred, anger, sadness and tears, joy. The first part of the game is very happy with what is happening, but by the second half of the game for Abby I was not used to it from the beginning, I had to freeze myself to play for some time. But then I fell in love with the second half as well as the first. The boss fight in the hospital is so awesome that I haven’t admired such things in games for a long time. The end also leaves a lot of things to think about, just like the first part. This game is an undeservedly criticized masterpiece. 10/10 Game of the Year… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 has an interesting and complete story. It is a reasonable continuation of the story from part 1. I don't get why many people are mad at how they killed Joel. Joel is never a good guy. Ellie believed in the fireflies the whole life, but Joel took that away from her. I like Joel for his will and power to do what he believes is right, but that doesn't mean he should have a happy ending. As of Abby, I bet few even finished the second half of the game. She has a sophisticated and well-developed character. Not immediately likable, but deserves better than this wide criticism.… Expand

    The first game honestly first time playing through was life changing and I have loved the game ever since. I have been non stop thinking about the release of the second game and honestly it did not disappoint. I loved it all the way through and once again the game made me feel something I don’t feel often.

    A harrowing, emotional experience. Raises the bar for story telling and gameplay. The art direction, animation, cinematography and graphical fidelity are unsurpassed in the industry. A must play for anyone calling themselves a gamer, or anyone ready for a pure no excuses style story about redemption, heartache and the horrors of revenge, violence and PTSD.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This franchise has set a new standard for me in the future of gaming. No movie nor game has made me feel the way this game has. The exploration on each minute character tells their own story and you get to see that. Whether you're reading a note from a broken family or hearing your enemies scream in anguish as their closest friends since the outbreak just got slashed to death. To having to survive and killing any human, animal or infected to survive, you can really immersive yourself in it. The fluidity of the combat and the agility of your character is something I greatly valued in this game. The new ways of surviving and utilising the equipment you have at your disposal is very refreshing and strategic too. I couldn't of wanted more in a game, and I am keen to see where things go from here.… Expand

    Game and graphics is just one of the best things I've ever seen In my life (and I'm a Pc player), you can kill an enemy and watch his face while you're staving a knife over him (THAT kind of detail).

    About the plot, I didn't care too much about what people said that game is just made to make LGTBI happy and all that.... you don't really care too much about that when you are enjoying yourself killing and surviving with Ellie or even Abby. Story is very well written but is an adult and kind of sad story (as one of the best movies you've seen)... Naugthy Dog made one of a hell violent game but with a price... so they decided to make players think about deep stuff as revenge... or losing someone special.

    10/10 for me , Ellie is one of the most human characters you can find out there.

    A worthy successor to one of the best games ever made. I kept myself totally spoiler free and it was my most memorable gaming experience since part one. It’s a very rough ride, but well worth seeing to the end. It’s a mature game and I would not recommend it to anyone underage.

    Anyway, highly recommended to give this an honest chance!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best stories I’ve ever played. Gameplay is fun too. I feel for those who are upset about an important character’s death, but think the story rides that death so well to make an amazing game. Getting to see the reality that “the bad guy” (Abby) is facing through playing as her really blew my mind. I’ve never played a game that did something like this. I obviously was a little upset with playing as Abby at first, but I learned that she was a human too living through her own experiences with love and loss. In the fights between Abby and Ellie I really couldn’t choose a side, and at the end when I was tapping square to stab Abby I had a hard time doing it. It’s all quite bleak, but an interesting look at the reality of humans and their quests for vengeance. I respect the opinions of people hating on this game, but If the queer themes get to you I recommend trying to be more empathetic. If these themes ruin the game for you you’re probably a bigot who can’t look past people loving each other or being who they want to be.… Expand

    the game is brilliant because it shows impartially all that cruelty and genuine feelings of the world of last of us !!
    this is one of the few gamesshowing reality, with a crudely worked out dramatic plot and a very interesting world in which you plunge headlong ..
    gameplay deserves special praise, naughty dog ​​surpassed themselves !!!

    definitely the game of the year !!!

    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]
