    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Je décide de mettre la note de 10 pour plusieurs choses, les graphismes, le game plays...ect. Mais aussi, et surtout parce que c'est ma licence préféré. J'ai jamais connu pareil émotion en jouant à un jeu, entre peur (parfois éteignant même la play le soir à 3h du mat), tristesse (je suis peut être le seul mais des larmes ont coulé à la fin du 1) et ce DUO, merde ce duo tellement bien construit.... Vous comprendrez donc qu'attendre 7 ans n'a pas été chose facile.
    Passons donc à TLOU 2...
    J'ai mal de le dire mais l'histoire d'Abby m'a plu, et à été parfois passionnante (la mort de son père, la guerre entre Wolfs et Scars...). Après les deux premières heures de jeu avec Abby à me répéter pourquoi je l'a joue alors que j'ai une folle envie de la tuer, j'ai commencé à prendre du plaisir.
    Mais le déclic qui m'a fais comprendre que le studio avait pris le mauvais chemin sur l'histoire de TLOU2, c'est lorsque l'on joue Abby et qu'on doit tuer Elie... La s'en était trop pour moi, tuer Joel dès le début puis jouer Abby pour tuer Ellie, comment le jeu en est arrivé la. Même si le message du jeu est intéressant, la vengeance n'est pas la bonne voie, comment faire ça aux joueurs, comment nous faire ça.

    Le studio a choisit un axe audacieux ! Pourquoi pas ! Mais l'erreur c'est d'avoir sous estimé l'attachement que j'avais (et que les joueurs ont) pour Ellie et Joel. Peut importe si Elie tue une femme enceinte ou des milliers de personnes, tout est justifié (et la je parle personnellement) parce qu'Abby à tué Joel (le daron qu'on aurait tous aimé avoir, et qui nous à tenu en haleine durant les 15 heures de jeu du 1.)

    Ainsi je ne peut être que négatif, alors que vous savez maintenant l'attachement que j'ai pour ce jeu. Le jeu ne tiens pas debout, a cause des choses suivantes, Joel meurt dès le début, (putain je me sens encore mal mais pourquoi pas car on se sens encore plus attaché à la vengeance de Elie) on nous fais jouer le personnage qui l'a tué, et finalement Elie ne se venge pas....
    Peut importe si le personnage Abby est écrit à la perfection, peut importe si elle est super gentille, peut importe si elle sauve Lev... On veut qu'Elie se venge coûte que coûte, (coule la, coule la que je me répétait à la fin du jeux) mais non.
    Ainsi personne ne vengera notre héro préféré... ce qui a couté au studio une fin des plus frustrante de l'histoire du jeux vidéo.

    Maintenant prions pour qu'il ne fasse pas le The Last Of Us 3 sur Abby et Lev. Et malgré tout je met 10 parce qu'il nous faut ce genre de jeu nous ne pouvons pas se permettre de basher pour des choix et des orientations de scénario.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel's actions from St. Mary's Hospital were filled with consequences that were not addressed in the first game's story, but perfectly setup for the second game. This sequel explores how those actions in that hospital had impacted many people, therefore a consequence was revenge (Abby), which led to more revenge (Ellie). If any person thought Joel would not die in this game they were blind to the first game's ending. People bash this story and yet at the time of writing only 14% completed the game, the story, as I summarized it, is great. The game play is fantastic, it continues on the original's and adds more of what we love. Graphics are insanely beautiful, gore is detailed and horrific. This game is great, simply put. Expand

    The Last Of us 2 is a masterpiece. The story, the gameplay, the soundtrack and the design. Those hating on it, are pathetic trolls that haven't even played it, or are just so dumb they don't understand the story from both perspectives. The Story focuses on Revenge, and what revenge can cost you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is Bold AF! Story line about a cycle of vengeance.

    Story is focused on Ellie and Abby (now being the 2 main protagonists).

    Naughty Dog did a wonderful job on giving 2 different perspectives on the same matter, with the beginning of the game being very Extreme with Joel’s death in my opinion this serves as the main fuel for Ellie’s action. These actions would be crucial for story line and also character development.

    Gameplay and graphics are the best so far on the “consoles scene”.

    So even if story line isn’t appealing enough for you, the gameplay is definitely fun.

    Congrats to ND and Neil Druckmann

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. let me just start by saying i finished the game and didn't only play 3 hours then bashed it because a certain character dies. From the start we knew this was going to be ellies revenge story so for everyone out there that said we were misled or lied to is just upset about what happened in the game. trailers do not mean everything is happening in real life could be flashbacks or dream sequence which was the case. This game is the best looking game ive ever played from a graphical and mechanical stand point. If theres one thing i would change about the game it would be not having to play as a certain someone just didn't do it for me but other than that game was and is spectacular. Don't bash something you didn't play and don't let negative reviews stop you from playing. Expand

    Геймплей остался почти таким же, как и был в первой части, но стал намного интереснее. От тебя постоянно

    Геймплей остался почти таким же, как и был в первой части, но стал намного интереснее. От тебя постоянно требуют что-то крафтить, искать ресурсы, иначе тебе просто будет намного сложнее находиться в этом мире, в котором полно зомби, бандитов и просто плохих людей.

    За всё прохождение встретил всего лишь 2-3 бага. Лагов вообще не было, игра бесшовная.

    Ставлю игре 10/10. Она этого полностью заслуживает.

    Who loves the absurd story, not to mention playing as Abby (who personally i hated so much after saw her beeting Joel) and joel's horrible and cruel death: "This game envolves a great storyline" BullS**T

    Who really loved the first game: "This game destroyed the entire franchise"

    I will be honest i was expecting so much more of this game and it became a really, bad, hated, project.

    If it was supposed to be this and it was supposed to end like this, it might as well not even have made this game. I will just replay the first one because that's the reall MASTERPIECE

If we say that she killed Joel is for his father, she let Ellie go twice proves she wanted to keep the hope of human. Because as long as Ellie is alive, human would still have hope to overcome this virus. Of course, after completing the game, I feel Ellie actually got PTSD even before Joel's death. She can't move out the cage of memories. She still wants to do something to help humankind and make her life meaningful.

    I can see the big vision of this game. actually, in the world of last of us. everyone is the last. they could have been dead at anytime (P.S. I wanted to quit the game after Joel's death, but I figure out maybe it's just part of the world. over 5 years after Boston, people might change lots like the real people in the world. ). so, in that weird period of world, how people could keep their love, their kindness and their humanity is what the story trying to tell us. It's a great game. In the end of the story, I think Ellie might go searching for the fireflies and may want to do something for the virus research and help out the humankind (I am just guessing). I think if Naughty Dog would make the Part 3, I would like to get a collection bundle instead of the standard one. This story means a lot in the real world as well. Thank you Naughty Dog!!

    It's been six days since I finished playing The Last of Us Part II and it took some time to really think about it.

    I want to start with the things I liked about this game. First of all, I obviously want to point out how good the graphics and animations are - I was blown away by how detailed every location was and how you could feel every emotion the characters felt in all of the cutscenes. I like how fluid all the movements seem and the (outer) character design is gorgeous.

    I am also a fan of the gameplay - I liked that the areas were bigger in this game and that you were able to explore everything kind of on your own by just strolling through the streets. The way how they kept the gameplay of the first game on one hand, and how they expanded it on the other hand is a good choice as well. To be able to move forward by crawling and also shooting and healing yourself from this position is a nicce addition to the rather "stiff" gameplay of part I. The only thing I am not a 100% okay with considering the gameplay and the surroundings is, that it was simply too much for me. Personally, I was annoyed with how much you can look around and how much you can find, but that's just my own preference I guess.

    Now I'm coming to the stuff I had the most problems with. I just could not really emphasize with Abby as a character. I can only imagine what the intentions of the creators were - to see that everyone is capable of doing horrible things, but that this doesn't necessarily make you a bad person - the thing is, though, that although Joel did terrible things aswell, I was much more willing to "forgive" him for that. Seeing Joel die is not my main problem (again, it's just my preference that I would have loved to see Joels and Ellies relationship evolve even more in Part II), it's just the way it is dealt with and how I am forced to play as Abby for more than half of the game. I was very angry at first, but that feeling vanished the more I played Abby. Instead, I became numb. I simply didn't care what happened to her, which is even worse than being angry the whole time. I just wanted to play as Ellie. I felt that the player was forced to feel sympathy for Abby and failed to do so. I would have been okay to dig into Abby's story for two hours or so, but more than 10? As much as I tried to enjoy the experience and to collect all of the stuff etc., I got sadder and sadder and it wasn't an enjoyable experience for me.

    And that ending! Ellie has lost everything - honestly, I would even be happier if Abby and died together in their last fight! As much as I loved the gameplay etc, I simply can not overlook the story of a story based game. It wasn't the experience I waited and hoped for the last 7 years.

    OMG no what I am going to be as brutally honest, if you want to play a game with good graphics and do not care about the storyline then play this game. I AM A STORY GAME person so when I played this game I WAS ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED AT WHAT NAUGHTY DOG WAS THINKING. The way my GUY JOEL MAY HE RIP WAS KILLED WAS BEYOND STUPID AND INFURIATING. we all know very well that Joel was a smart badass man he would never reveal his location nor say his name knowing how many people he had crossed. Also, the misleading trailers were not helpful at all like really, I know they were like ''do not want to spoil'' but they could have easily used all the flashbacks as footage. Moreover, how could you show a 2-4 min trailer about a character that WE WERE GOING TO PLAY 10 HOURS AS (felt longer)? The first game was just amazing the story was written to a perfect t I even thought y did they carry on they should have left it there. The whole entire 25-hour game is pretty much made to hunt down ABBY, so when the ending came the only thing gamers were holding onto was when knowing Joel died at the hands of ABBY soo obvi when we don't kill ABBY I was like ''WHAT THE HELL' haha that is exactly what I said. Its not even that, its the fact Ellie is left with absolutely nothing, that made me think wow the disrespect to both characters I was shook. So what else can Ellie's character now go off of? The game obviously wants you to like Abby, but what did they expect when you kill him off like that and fans have been waiting 7 YEARS. Abby saves kids hugs dogs while Ellie kills a pregnant woman and hurts dogs like I was heartbroken. I am not going to lie the graphics are amazing but the story is just terrible. A whole 7 years man I am actually so sad. How low do we get sex scenes really, the first story was about a loving relationship about Joel and Ellie, yes I know at one point Joel had to die but not like this like really we got to that level. I also wanted facts about Ellie's immunity the facts behind it and all that cool stuff but NO. I hope Naughty dog can redeem from this I really have NO CLUE HOW but overall the game was a letdown. And that is my opinion well I hope anyone that reads this understands and has a good day. But I have to say the voice actors are only doing their job so I do not blame them.

    Review bombing negatively because "critics" are review bombing positively. The pacing is glacial and the game is a lot buggier than exceptable. The gameplay doesn't change much from the previous game. The story is shallow and full of plot contrivences, holes, and retcons. Wouldn't recommend if you liked the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If anyone out there was waiting for a happy ending, I don't know what game have they been playing. As the story evolves and more information is given to you, it is possible to picture how things will end. But if you really liked the first game, you can't say that the characters acted different to what you may expect from them in every single situation they were put on.

    You want revenge, you want Ellie to get revenge, but Ellie did get revenge. She destroyed Abby's world. Abby was left torn to pieces BY Ellie. Ellie killed every single one of her loved ones. But as the game tries to tell you, is revenge really the way?

    After Tommy's visit and Ellie's visions of the past, tormenting her, It was obvious that she couldn't leave things like that, She couldn't have lived not knowing what would have happened if she went to the very end.

    The conclusion is that it wasn't necessary to kill her, She realized it too late.

    Yes, she lost 2 fingers, yes, she returned to an empty home. But we got to know Dina, and DIna has a strong character and she was not the kind of woman to sit tight and wait for Ellie. She couldn't do that to herself.

    In the end, are we left with unanswered questions? Yes, we were. But wasn't it the same way at the end of the first part?

    Other than the controversial plot of the game. You cannot deny, it is impossible to say, that the game plays your emotions to the edge. I felt the sadness and urge to cry when Joel died. I felt the anger and need for revenge. The need for revenge drove me through the entire game. I felt outrageous when the game was presenting me Ellie as a boss, and asking me to hurt her as Abby, I let Ellie kill Abby no less than 20 times before I took action. But here is the genius, when you see what you think is the end of the game, you are so mad that Ellie left things like that, only to get proved wrong when you see what revenge costs.

    You laugh, you cry, you get angry. The range of emotions this game makes you feel is proof of its level of development and greatness.

    The game play, graphics, sound quality and soundtrack are just freaking phenomenal. I'm speechless. But this is Naughty Dog we are talking about. So we were not expecting less. Gustavo Santaolalla, Chapeau! Hats off!

    So hate me haters, but I freaking loved the game.

This game was emotionally exhausting to get through, and I've been a wreck for days, but damn if it isn't one of the most amazing journeys I've ever been though, without even leaving my home. The father/daughter dynamic between Joel and Ellie is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking relationships I've ever witnessed, very rarely have I felt such a strong connection to fictional characters, they eventually start to become as real to you as those you love who are actually alive. It's probably a weird and seemingly ridiculous concept for some people to grasp, but I guess you can't always understand something unless you've experienced it firsthand. Anyways, This game deserves none of the hate it's received, it's a daring, dark, hauntingly beautiful narrative that touches on loss, grief, hatred and the true nature of revenge, and it's a hard pill to swallow at times.
    I can't recommend this game enough, but be warned, it's **** heavy.

    May not actually be a 10 but it's pretty close and considering that everyone review bombed it without finishing it, I figure me giving it a 10 is equivalent to someone giving it a 1 without finishing.

    The story is BRUTAL and it often elicited emotions that made me genuinely uncomfortable, but the payoff was super cathartic. The gameplay felt great, it has everything good from the first one and a few added mechanics that made fights feel really fluid. Needless to say, the graphics were phenomenal. The amount of detail made me want to take my time and explore every bit of the levels. The puzzles were definitely light in comparison with TLOU, but the ones that stood out were surprisingly natural. Figuring out a solution kind of felt like it wasn't even a fabricated puzzle at all and I just happened to find a way to solve a problem naturally.
    It's crazy how some people are putting this game on blast. Reading a bunch of negative reviews I get the impression that these people either didn't even play the game or are just salty about one certain plot point and refuse to enjoy a narrative that makes them feel complex emotions. I feel sorry for everyone that can't appreciate how absurdly good this game is, both as a spectacular sequel to a game that should have been impossible to follow, and just as an awesome game in its own right.

This game blew me away, not as much for just the gameplay, but more the realism and compelling stories that I feel are both lacking from video games in this era. I find that this is the best place to share not just my thoughts, but the philosophy and themes that carried the game’s message (in my opinion):
    1: The Cycle of Violence This one is fairly self-explanatory, but Ellie’s final decision to spare Abby (and Lev) ends a generational cycle of killing and pain, dating back to the “parents” of both the game’s protagonists (Joel/Dr. Anderson). This opportunity for growth was hinted at and ultimately failed in TLOU, but serve the driving plot point of TLOU2.
    2: Parenthood I personally did not pick up on this theme until the epilogue, despite it being right underneath my nose for a solid 1/2 of the story. Take a second to think about the dichotomy between Ellie-Joel and Abby-Lev in. What did our “parent figure” do differently? The same? Much like Joel, Abby ends the lives of MANY to save the one life of Lev. How does this make her any better than Joel doing the same for Ellie? Was this decision even redeemable by either of them in the first place? The game’s final cliffhanger provides you, the player, the ability to envision how Abby and Lev’s relationship will progress, or be damaged, as they move into the “Jackson” phase which put a rift between Ellie and Joel. Additionally, Ellie rejected the opportunity to be a proper parent to Jesse Jr. Was this because of her PTSD from Seattle, or her fear that she would ultimately make the same mistakes as Joel?
    3: The Animalistic Decay of Humanity Less apparent than #1 here, but the comparison of the game’s protagonists to animals evokes the decaying state of society, and thereby, human nature: Joel: The Owl Throughout the game, Joel is referenced (most often by Jesse and Tommy) as an “old bird”. The imagery of the owl on Joel’s coffee cup and in Ellie’s journal drawings also cement this point. Joel is wise, slow, and strikes viciously, prone to fits of anger (Ellie’s rescue). Ellie: the Wolf Specifically in TLOU, many NPC’s refer to Ellie as “the wolf girl”. This is brought full circle in TLOU2, where Ellie meets her literal match in the WLF’s. Ellie is controlled by her negative emotion, and it enables her to commit terrible (often unnecessary) acts of violence. It is also noteworthy when Abby/Lev approach the hospital to retrieve materials for Yara’s surgery, Lev remarks “Wolves never look up, only forward.” Was this meant only about the WLF? Abby: The Oxen Abby’s direct and unforgiving personality are put in direct contrast to her muscular body when referred to as “the lady built like an ox” by the trader who provides intel to Tommy in the period after Seattle. This comparison does not carry as much weight as the others, but cements the point that these animal-based comparisons show the decaying humanity of the game’s core cast.
    Finally, while it is less of a philosophical theme and more of a fact, I think it is important to mention that while the TLOU series are technically “zombie” games, the real enemy is rarely ever the actual infected, instead more often human nature of the dangers of the self.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best story-driven game I've ever played. I have never had a form of media make me feel the way this did. I felt the peace of Jackson at the beginning. I felt Ellie's pain and subsequent rage when her father figure was killed. Surprisingly, I felt Abby's heartbreak when she saw her father dead on the hospital floor, knowing that 7 years ago, I, as a player, am responsible for it. Most of the characters are fantastic. I grew to empathize with some that I hated, and disliked some of the characters that I loved. All through Naughty Dog's masterful storytelling. From a technical standpoint, I don't think we'll see something on this level until a sequel to God of War (2018) or GTA 6 should that ever created. The environments, animations, A.I., everything about the gameplay is fantastic. The large open areas down to the darkest rooms all have such great attention to detail that aids in fully immersing you into the world. The fact that playing as 2 different characters felt so different was amazing. Ellie feels agile, swift in her movements and kills. Abby on the other hand feels like a wrecking ball, capable of barreling through an enemy that's in her way. All of the weapons have a distinct feel, especially the melee weapons, which make you feel every swing you make. This game was everything I wanted it to be, even though it was nothing like what I expected. I understand why others are disappointed, but you have to go into it with an open mind. If you do, the experience will be something you never forget and it won't be matched in a very, very long time. Expand

The game achieved what it wanted to do, make us mad, revengeful, hateful, and then it masterfully, through carefully crafted story telling, makes you do what you never thought you could after that fateful moment - have empathy.

    The other comments I see is about the LGBT themes this game has. I despise PC culture personally, and I was shocked to find that this rage, for once, was unfounded. This is a game that finally DOES NOT shove it in your face and simply makes this a part of these characters, not their entire character arc like most media unfortunately seems to hone in on.

    The game play was fantastic, the story kept me on edge throughout its entirety, and the graphics were the best Naughty Dog has ever produced.

I hate spoilers so I avoided any and all trailers, reviews and leaks and it paid off. The Last of Us Part 2 surpassed the first and was a fantastic story and game. I can understand the feelings of some people being upset with events that happened in the story that Naughty Dog delivered but to me it was amazing. I was connected to Joel and what happened to him was gut wrenching and tragic and you want the people responsible to pay. However ND creates conflict in you by putting you in control of Abby and you get to see a great character development driven story. She’s not this evil, revenge driven brat that you originally thought and it’s so good. I was extremely happy with the outcome. Sure I miss Joel, but he is not absent from the game. I highly recommend it after you play the first. Don’t judge it before you play it, which is what most people are doing on here. It’s worth the time and money to see such a great story with great characters. And just like Game of Thrones, don’t get too attached to anyone. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is definitely not a game for everyone. The gameplay has vastly improved since the first game while retaining the formula that made the first game successful. The graphics are gorgeous, it feels less clunky, but by adding bigger environments that can sometimes appear to be a semi-open world, it can become more tedious for the average casual gamer. Although you definitely don’t have to spend the majority of the time looting, if that’s is how you want to play, it’s good having the option, and the rewards for playing like a completionist, which are very good this time around. The violence is tough to watch and to experience, but that is absolutely the point. At several times, I had to stop playing the game and take a pause several times because it is pretty tiring and deals with a lot of heavy themes.

    The story is by far the most controversial aspect of this game. People have grown to love and respect these characters, and while I get why a lot of people don’t like this game, it is Naughty Dog’s game and these are their characters. Everyone involved in the making of this game knows the characters, and their motivations for doing what they do, a lot better than the average player and I’m completely convinced they didn’t betray the characters in any way. Joel was a very distrustful character who had done a lot of bad things until he met Ellie, who ended up changing the way Joel is, making him more compassionate. Living in Jackson has softened both Ellie and Joel, they have become more trustful and are bringing people to Jackson all the time. The moment when Joel dies you can see by the expression in his face he was thinking “I let myself trust these people and this is what I get”.
    People seem to not be understanding that they don’t have ownership of these characters, who are as imperfect and ever-changing as any person in the real world. It felt horrible when Joel died, it felt horrible when you had to play as Abby after seeing what she had done, it felt awful when you had to beat the living **** out of Ellie. I hated doing those things, but that doesn’t mean that the game is bad. When watching this kind of “mature” media, you have to accept that bad things can happen, and in a post-apocalyptic world, they probably WILL happen. These events help the characters grow and develop in ways we hadn’t seen before. If people wanted the characters to stay as they were, they probably should just stick to playing Part 1.

    This game managed to make me feel different about a person I absolutely abhorred, by showing you their side of the story, and most importantly, their motivations. Both Ellie and Abby do horrible things in the memory of someone they loved. Mid-way though the game, Abby starts to become a Joel-type character. A person who has been horribly hurt who starts doing bad things until she finds a better purpose in helping other people who need it (In Abby’s case it was Lev, and in Joel’s case it was Ellie). People are saying the ending is anticlimactic, but I think it actually shows the most character development I’ve ever seen in a game. It helped destroy the cycle of violence and revenge that had been taking place. The only way Ellie was able to do this, was by forgiving Abby, otherwise, the cycle of revenge and violence would have just continued when Lev recovered and realized what Ellie had done to Abby, but when Ellie came to the realization that this was Joel’s story all over again, only this time it was another person, she decided to stop, giving the player a sense of closure and realization. I felt like I got a life lesson out of this game. By keeping an open mind and not closing yourself to what you think SHOULD happen, and just experiencing what DID happen you can experience a masterpiece in storytelling that can affect your life in a positive way. This is one of my favorite games, I didn’t enjoy the game, but I still believe it is one of the greatest pieces of media I have ever seen and played and I, personally, would recommend this game to anyone who wants to experience an amazing story with twists at every turn. It contains a lot of symbolisms and touching moments, if your are open to them. You won’t feel great playing this game, but you can appreciate the lessons it leaves you with and the care that was put into making such a complicated and engaging story. I will definitely remember this game for years to come and don’t regret playing it in any way. Thank you Naughty Dog for taking a risk and making what felt organic, instead of what people wanted to happen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a piece of technical mastery with an illogical decision making of storytelling.It tries to rise women authority and Importance up to an absurd point. This game is not relatable at all and is sadly a punch on the face to those gamers who were patiently waiting with eager and will to enjoy a good story. It is obvious how a considerable amount of “oppressed” minorities desperately try to make an unnecessary effort to feel involved and accepted in a game, which story and ambience couldn’t be less interested in them, mainly because it’s core is about survival, not about seeking validation amongst dead zombies and teared populations. Us gamers, couldn’t care less about the sexual preferences of any character, it doesn’t disturb our sleep let alone does it even make any difference to us. It’s not that we are happy about gay relationships, it’s that we don’t care because we don’t think that it should be a reason to whether play a game or not. Secondly, I want to highlight how bogus the trailers shown to us are. Character models and dialogues are tweaked so we think the game will bring up one thing to then turn out to be something completely different. It’s mind bogging to see how afraid they eventually were to plunge in on letting people see the game’s true colours. Thus giving us yet another reason to hate the game, as we have been lied to. To conclude, I would sincerely not recommend anyone to spend a money on a game that they will find hard to finish. 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]
