    Eines der besten Spiele aller Zeiten, wie die Entwickler mit den Gefühlen spielen gelingt nur ganz wenigen. Und ein Spiel nur schlecht zu bewerten weil einem die Entscheidungen im Spiel nicht gefallen dem sei gesagt das sowas in allen Medien auftaucht, Filme Bücher videospiele.

    This game is a masterpiece. Gameplay, graphics, leveldesign is a 10. The story is a matter of taste but in my opinion also a 10. A revenge story has never been so well illuminated from multiple perspectives. The game takes all video games to a new level. It is grown up and brave. Please make your own opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of us II es una obra de arte. Tanto le cuesta entender a la gente que Joel ya no es el que era? Ya durante el primer juego vemos un cambio significativo en él. Es un juego muy maduro que te intenta enseñar las dos caras de una moneda. Nadie es 100% malo o bueno, la gente la caga, crece, cambia, evoluciona. Tenemos a personajes redondos y una historia muy buena entre manos. Personalmente la historia de Abby me encanto, empecé el juego odiando-la pero acabe simpatizando con ella. Al fin y al cabo Ellie y Joel, le hicieron lo mismo o peor. La gente tendría que aceptar una muerte y muertes realistas como nos da este juego. También a respetar la orientación sexual de los personajes o haber prestado mas atención al material adicional del primer TLOU, donde ya se veía que Ellie era claramente lesbiana o bisexual. Esto no es un Uncharted o un Jack and Daxter. Este juego es mucho mas adulto y profundo. Al pasártelo no te deja igual y durante la historia te crea toda clase de sentimientos. Con un final muy acertado y maduro. Demostrando que Ellie a madurado y Abby también. Creo que es algo que le haría falta a mas de un critico de este juego y aceptar que en la vida las cosas muchas veces no salen como uno quiere. A parte que mucha gente tendría que reconocerse a si mismo lo homofobos que son.… Expand

    Un gioco che sa prenderti a schiaffi in faccia. Un gioco che ti emoziona. Un gioco che fa male. Un gioco che o lo ami o lo odi, ma se lo odi non sei oggettivo con il lavoro incredibile che ci è stato fatto sopra. Narrazione incredibile, musica incredibile, animazioni perfette. Non è da 10 per alcuni piccoli dettagli ma in assoluto uno dei migliori giochi degli ultimi 10 anni.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just writing this, because of all the negative feedback the game received from the players. I didn't read any reviews, because tbh I didn't care what critics would say. After playing part one I knew I wanted to play the game.
    Not to get spoiled or to get influenced I waited until I finished the game to check the bad reviews. Which I did.
    Regarding the violence: How can you be so angry regarding the violence in this game? Have you guys seen how people can go nuts, because of toilet paper?! This is a world where death is around every corner, constantly. In my opinion people would be way worse than shown in this game. Of course, it's violent, but I think it's realistic. Very realistic. I just can't get my head around how crazy people went for toilet paper when all the Corona stuff started.
    Story/Characters: After the first shot on Joel I thought, that wound can't heal, his leg will never be fine. But then, they killed Joel. They f* killed Joel, that character that I played through the first part, that was ME. And they let Ellie watch. F* you Naughty Dog. And then I fought with Ellie through all the bastards to get my revenge. And then, then Naughty Dog wants me to play Abby? Hell no. When the Abby part started I started rushing through, so I get to the point where I'm Ellie again, until I realized that it's a bigger part, so I started to play "normally" as I would with Ellie. And I started to connect to Abby. I hated that stupid man woman! I hated her so much, but yeah I connected, i started liking her. Yes, that b* killed Joel, she must die. But she grew on me. She had character, emotions, helped people. She was a good person, who killed one of the best characters I ever played. BUT Joel killed her dad. Of course, it was not okay to kill a child, even if you could create a cure. Idk, maybe some of you would have killed a kid for a cure. I guess that is not the point. I understand Joel, of course he saved "his" girl. Who wouldn't act like that. BUT Joel killed Abby's dad, who wouldn't revenge your fathers death? I bet it wouldn't matter to you what he was about to do, but nobody can "just" kill anyone from your family, right?! But that is the point of the game, that's what Naughty Dog did so good. "The others" aren't simply the "bad guys". It's so easy when it's like that. You're good, the others are bad. That's why it was such an emotional game. That's why I'm so torn apart. I hate this game so much (in a good way!). At the end I was not happy at all. I'm thinking so much about Abby and Ellie. Both didn't get a happy end, but at least both can live, and at least that's the good thing I got from the game. This is no "happy end" game. This is a f* "real life" game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “Boo Hoo the story is weak, let’s go insult the actress playing Abby and Neil for directing the game!!1”
    Just considering the graphics, gameplay, soundtrack and motion capture this game is no way getting less than 8/10.

    About the story.. What did you expect? That Joel would have continued to live like nothing had happened in Salt Lake? One day or another someone would had shown up seeking for revenge. “But Joel was too skilled and smart, he would have trusted Abby!1!” She is the age on Ellie and he saved her ass from being eaten by the infects, in the middle of a blizzard. Falling in an ambush was the last of his thoughts. Then he realized. It was too late. He knew that the moment had finally come. Do you think that I enjoyed this choice? Of course not, goddammit! It broke my heart. But his death had a sense in the context of the story. It wasn’t random like getting bitten by a clicker of slipping and falling from a cliff. The way he was killed... Only a sadist would have done something like that. Or someone who has been waiting for that moment for a long time. You live the scene with the eyes of Ellie, feel her emotions, feel the need of revenge flowing in your veins.

    The game goes on and Ellie finds Nora. She’s trapped in an angle, unable to fight, unable to betray her friend. And our protagonist murders her. Was it necessary? What was going on in Ellie’s mind? She’s shocked, her hands shaking. That didn’t make her feel better.

    The cycle continues and she gets to Owen and Mel. I don’t think that in this case Ellie would have killed them but Owen tries to counter attack (I mean, he had a gun pointed at him, that’s reasonable) and in self defense she kills them both. Mel was pregnant though. That was really **** up, the image of Dina bumps in front of Ellie’s eyes. She’s getting nauseous, unable to recognize herself no more. What goes around, comes around and Abby finds her way to the theatre. Boom, Jesse is gone, Tommy is about to make his brother’s end and you as the player are leaning toward the screen with the heart stomping in your chest. All the tension that had built up in the last hours is getting to the apex.

    And then Mr. Druckmann press the rewind button. You are now playing as Abby. What?! I’m not going to play in the role of my main enemy! First thing first I’ll make her die a lot of times. The story continues, you discover that she was the daughter of the surgeon that years before was about to operate Ellie, before getting killed by Joel. You understand her feelings, her strengths and fears. You follow the path of blood that Ellie made, this time from a different position. All leads to the sequence in the theatre. This time YOU are the one pointing a gun to Ellie. I found it difficult to hit her, at that point I just wanted the cycle of violence to stop. Abby is physically superior but for the second time (the first was in the mountain shelter) she lets Ellie go.

    This time Mr. Druckmann hits the fast forward button and we are in an idyllic scenery. Dina, Ellie and the little JJ are living in peace, apparently far away from the atrocities of this dystopian future. But the shadow of the past is always present and gets more present with the visit of Tommy. Something inside Ellie is broken. She’s unable to remove the image of Joel from his mind. She leaves again, decided to end the story. It’s no more a matter of hatred or revenge, it is pure desperation what moves her.

    We finally find Abby, almost unrecognizable. Just for a moment Ellie’s shield is lowered and compassion hits her. After all she went through how could she let her go? Pushing the feels away we are introduced to the final, desperate, fight for life. Ellie is seconds away from drowning Abby and finish it all, as the sight of Lev triggers her memory of Joel. Abby was the only thing remaining to Lev. How could she kill her?

    And finally the key of all the story is revealed. A flashback from the night before Joel’s death. Everything become so clear. Ellie never went over his decision of saving her but she promises that she would have tried to forgive him. This is a story about FORGIVENESS, not a story about REVENGE! Ellie was mad because Abby prevented her to forgive Joel.

    Ellie lost everything. She has lost Dina, Tommy, and living in Jackson. Even being able to play the guitar, the only thing remaining from Joel. She’s empty, and emptiness is what you should feel as the credits are rolling. It took me several days to metabolize the complexity of the story, to understand what was moving each character. There’s no hero in this story, nor villain. There are human beings who make errors just like the real world. I dare you to find another videogame that encompasses these concepts and makes you feel like The Last of Us Part II does. Hats off to Neil and all the ND team, Ashley, Troy, Laura, Gustavo, everyone of them. You made something aere perennius.    … Expand

ND puts in lots of small details throughout the game to explain many things that happened, that's why you have to play it for yourself and do your best to look past the surface and connect the dots. But I can also understand why some people dislike the game. It's like "Joker" movie (not the best comparison but yea..) -- some people love it some hate it some think it's overrated some thinks it's way too detached from original franchise & wouldn't it be better if they make it as brand new standalone piece etc etc etc. No matter what, TLOU2 is a game that has a great impact in the gaming community and it's here to stay.… Expand

I cannot express how much I thought about this game since I finished it. I was going to make a massive review but the I decided to abridge it based on a Reddit comment I made. Here is the (somewhat) short and sweet review:

    I played the game and loved it the whole way through, the graphics and gameplay are universally admired by all and for good reason too. The stealth is fun in a way that is hard to describe, it’s not rooted in realism, it takes a much more videogamey approach where you can just slaughter enemies to your heart’s content. The combat is always frantic, especially when up close when you have few resources and are fighting for your life. The graphics are spectacular. However they managed to squeeze this much beauty into a 7 year old console astounds me. The remastered on PS5 with ray tracing will probably be the benchmark for next gen graphics for a few years at least. It makes Red Dead 2 pale in comparison. The environments are beautiful and realistic, not just the basic cover filled hallways and open areas we see in most linear games. The game even branches out in places letting you explore areas of Seattle. But the story... you see, there’s one major character in the game who gets quite a lot of time, some people didn’t connect with this character, which entirely ruined the story for them(which I would completely understand) I was lucky enough to like the character and therefore the story. The game was always meant to be decisive and this meant that a lot of people felt let down by it. You can’t really tell if it’s for you or not without playing it yourself so don’t listen to the “SJW” fanboys or the “incel” haters! Thanks for making this game Naughty Dog :)    … Expand

    Amazing gamemechanics and graphics.
    A story which balances brutality, empathy and fear astonishingly well.

    And to anyone who feels the game pushes any "agenda" in your face, I couldn't disagree more. Everything feels natural and organic, and fits the world perfectly. Best game I have ever played.

Una historia de venganza con un final que me encantó, entiendo el odio de muchos pero el giro atrevido que tuvieron los creadores del juego es digno de reconocerse. Cada detalle, cada gesto en los rostros de los personajes, cada lugar que se visita es diferente al anterior. Abby fue un personaje con el que logré empatizar aunque haya sido quien terminó con la vida de Joel, fue rápida y la historia no nos dio tiempo de otra cosa más que odiarla y querer terminar con ella y con cada uno de sus amigos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the first game, many fans debated whether Joel was in fact the true villain of The Last of Us - saving Ellie but preventing any chance of a vaccine being created to help humankind in the post apocalyptic world they live in. We sympathise with Joel's decision because we spent an entire game sharing his experiences with Ellie and if we were in his shoes who is to say we wouldn't have made the same decision (as Tommy says at the beginning of Part 2).

    In The Last of Us Part 2 we get to see the aftermath of Joel's actions from the perspective of his victims - Abby finds her father killed along with all other fireflies that crossed Joel's path in the hospital. If we had never seen Joel and Ellie's journey I'm sure we would be rooting for Abby's revenge story but because we didn't, a lot of gamers straight up refused to see or accept Abby's reasons for wanting to kill Joel. Who wouldn't want to get revenge on the man who killed their father?

    I was truly gutted that Joel died so early on in the game and it was a difficult scene to watch. However, it is a major plot device that propels Ellie into her revenge rampage in Seattle. I enjoyed the flashback scenes with Joel showing how he had settled down in Jackson County and trying to repair his deteriorating relationship with Ellie after the events of the first game. In Joel's last flashback scene with Ellie they both agree to wanting to move forward, with Ellie prepared to try and forgive Joel. Tragically, by the time this scene is shown, we know that will be the last time they speak.

    The game contrasts Abby and Ellie's revenge stories well, showing Abby succeed but not stopping the pain of losing her father so she focuses her life by helping Lev. Ellie had the chance to be happy; she had a home, Dina and baby JJ but her PTSD and a push from Tommy set her off again. I've seen many comments that Tommy's actions here are completely out of character but at this point he had lost so much - Joel, witnessing Jesse's death, his relationship with Maria, his eye and now left with restricted mobility, so why wouldn't he be hell-bent on revenge? Tommy current state of mind here is similar to where Ellie was after Joel's death.

    Ellie had already lost Dina and JJ the moment she left to kill Abby again, so even if she had succeeded she would still be left with nothing afterwards; Ellie breaks the cycle of revenge and the characters have a chance to move on to try and find some happiness. I've seen more comments saying this is out of character for Ellie (just like the early Tommy comments I mentioned) and that she had no problem killing all those people in Seattle, but I believe she was too blinded by revenge to stop and see what was happening and that she was basically doing what Joel did at Salt Lake City Hospital. It's not until she has the chance to finally kill Abby that an image of Joel playing his guitar appears in her head - this is significant because since his death, Ellie had been unable to remember his face (as depicted in Ellie's journal with drawings of Joel's distorted face) but for the first time since then, Joel's face finally appears to her. Ironically, if Ellie had not left Dina and JJ at the farm, Abby would have most likely died at the hands of the Rattlers along with Lev, so in reality Ellie saved their lives.

    Upon returning to the empty farm, it is shown that Ellie can no longer play the guitar due to losing some fingers in the final battle with Abby, losing yet another connection she had with Joel. Ellie's greatest fear that she shared with Sam in the first game was to end up alone and her need for revenge saw that come true at the end of this game.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion but just because it didn't go how you wanted it to it doesn't make it a bad game. I personally preferred the first instalment but Part 2 decides to take a different route rather than mirroring it's predecessor (not to mention introducing some greatly improved gameplay features), keeping it fresh and further exploring revenge, forgiveness and the consequences of actions in a post apocalyptic world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I flat out loved this game! Honestly, I think there a couple genuine flaws I'll admit to. The game does tend to drag missions on just barely pass expiration dates sometimes (but usually this is allayed by still having a helluva culmination to the mission waiting for ya!). I also feel that as much as the switch works for me, interspersing the character switches throughout the game might have helped some others better empathize with Abby and feel for her. I still found myself torn between the two characters even as they attempted to murder one another, but I suppose I can see where others are coming from. Now, looking pass that, I pretty much just see gold.
    Going back to what I said earlier, I feel a large point of the game was to feel the cycle of revenge from both perspectives, to recognize yourself as Ellie playing almost the villain of the story and that really hit home for me, taking advantage of the growing discomfort the game had been building with Ellie's actions to slam it home by having us walk our killing grounds and interacting with our future victims.
    This sympathy got further enforced with Ellie on that farm, unable to cope with Joel's death and move on, allowing us to really feel the life Joel had left Abby with for years.
    It used this empathy to ultimately foster a sense of forgiveness towards both this game's protagonists as well as for Joel. So, more so than the goal of revenge, that forgiveness proved to be the thing Ellie needed. Not for Abby, though I think she came as close to it as possible, but for Joel and herself.

    There is no reason this game should receive less than a 7/10. I've been sitting on how I feel about this game for awhile. But I've finally reached a conclusion. Its a masterpiece. I did not see a single spoiler for the game and completely ignored watching any reviews until I beat the game becuase I did not want any form of outside influence to impact how I felt about it.

I did not see a single spoiler for the game and completely ignored watching any reviews until I beat the game becuase I did not want any form of outside influence to impact how I felt about it. I wanted to completely have my own opinion. I hadn't realized how much hate the game is recieving until I started digging into what people thought about it. So let's break it down

    We will start with the story, because that's the part everyone hates. Fair argument. Our favorite character (Joel) goes out in a bad way. No one can dispute that. But how did that make you feel? Angry? Sad? Many of you clearly felt something, otherwise you wouldn't come on here and give the game a disrespectful 0/10. My point here is the whole reason behind that moment was to trigger us. Make us feel, like its superior predecessor did. I was so sad joel was dead, many people didn't focus on that. They focused on how much they hated how the writers killed off one of their favorite characters, and force us to play as his killer. I get it. Personally I didn't hate it, although I did let ellie kill me immediately when I went into that boss fight. I could break down every part of the story but for me at the end of it all I asked myself one question: how did it make me feel? The answer was it made me feel everything, anger, joy, and sadness and anything in between. Any story that can send me through an emotional roller coaster as this game did deserves a 10/10 for its story even if I did dislike parts of it. In my opinion, the problems I had with the story felt justified and I think the direction everything went was weaved together in a coherent way that made sense. I found myself comparing it to star wars episodes 7-9 and game of thrones season 8. At the end of those I was so utterly devastating at how it was all butchered. I didnt feel that way at the end of this. I felt satisfied and wanting more of this world. Also, the last song at the end of the credits was depressing and I loved it. I give the story a 10/10. I can see why people would rank it lower though, I do think we have to give credit to the fantastic voice acting from the entire cast. A 0/10 for this story seems a bit harsh to me. At least a 1/10 if you hated it that much. Now, onto the gameplay. Ill keep this short and sweet because I think its pretty clear the gameplay was top notch. Gunplay is great, upgrades could be better, and having to redo upgrades halfway through was a bit annoying but after I got used to it I enjoyed it. The prone addition shouldve been a part of this series all along and it was a welcomed addition. The gameplay was not hindered by anything though. AI is smart and genuinely would flank me at times. I can't imagine how enhanced they get on higher than the average difficulty I played at. It has some inherent annoyances but those did not distract me from enjoying it, and for that I give it a 10/10. I was always on my toes and the gameplay was backed up by an astounding audio design.

    The audio was superb, with my headphones on, the rain sounded as if I was actually experiencing a rain storm in my own house. Rain impacting different surfaces sounds different and everything is fantastically directional. Without listen mode you can effectively find enemies just by listening closely to different sounds around you. The audio was the only thing in this game that was completely flawless. 10/10 hands down. I could go on and on about this game but when it comes down to it, I just had a fantastic time. I break it down into 4 categories. Story, gameplay, audio, and graphics. Ill give the naysayers the benefit of the doubt and say I understand the reasons why many rated it a 0/10. Gameplay, audio, and graphics all get a 10/10. Me personally the game is overall 10/10. But for those of you who hated the story a 0/10 for story would bring our average down to a 7.5. Which brings me back to my tagline that, in my opinion, there is no reason this game should recieve less than a 7/10. If you disliked other parts of this game, by technicality you could bring that average score down, and thats okay. This is all just my uneducated opinion. We are all entitled to our opinions, i hate that many people did not enjoy this game as much as I did, but hey we are all human and we all have different likes/wants. Meanwhile I will be attempting another playthrough of the first one on grounded. I think we can all agree the first one was better.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
