    How can anyone who enjoys video games in the slightest play this game and say that it is anything but a masterpiece? This is the most beautiful, brutal, well "acted", story driven game since the original. It is spectacular at every turn.

    I would suggest if you don't like this game to go back to playing Fortnite, Call of Duty, Madden or some other weak minded franchise that your tiny intellect can handle and the people with brains and taste will play games like this.

    This game is undoubtably one of the most incredible video games I have played to date - 10/10.

    It is, however, unfortunate that so many people seem to not only disregard the game entirely but also any logical way of reviewing the game simply because they disliked one particular aspect of it. Any reviews up to about 5/10 should simply be disregarded as the writer having a tantrum and not reviewing the game objectively in any way.

    To me, it is the story of a game that makes it worth playing. However, there must also be emphasis placed on other components of a game. So I will breakdown this review into the following categories and their weight on the overall review score:

    Story (both the actual story arc and then how this arc is executed) - 4
    Graphics - 2
    Sound design - 2
    Gameplay mechanics - 2
    Total - 10

    Story - 4/4
    The story arc of this game is, on the surface, relatively simple. You take control of Ellie (and a few others along the way), a 19 year old girl who finds herself seeming to be the only person immune to a deadly fungal infection. The majority of the game is spent in Seattle where Ellie is seeking revenge for the loss of a loved one. However, there is so much more to this story than simply revenge and the true beauty of this game lies in its journey and it's nuance. This is not a black and white game. There is no morally correct person, no hero character. This game is about dealing with loss and how that feeling can destroy a person and everything around them. You as the player will have to do some truly abhorrant things along your journey throughout this world. But by the end of the game, it is truly one of the most beautiful and remarkable pieces of story telling I have every experienced. However, there is one portion of the games execution which feels rough. During the middle area of the game the player is left with a cliff hanger. A cliff hanger that goes on for so long that I found myself desperately rushing the following 10 or so hours or gameplay just so I could find out what happened. I was terrified of the place I had been left in and it left a sour taste in the mouth for a good portion of the game. After completing the game it's entirely gone. I can appreciate what we were given and why, but it really hurt a large portion of my first play though. Perhaps the way the game was structured could have been altered so we only had a couple of hours or so before getting some resolution, I don't know. It is a minor issue and with hindsight does not justify dropping a full point. I would probably give 3.5/4 for story and 9.5 in total if I could but unfortunately here that is not an option so, 4/4 it is.

    Graphics - 2/2
    The graphics are quite simply extraordinary. This is truly one of the best looking games of our time. The locations and backdrops are truly breathtaking to look at and the character fidelity is stunning, if also, horrifying. Seeing the eyes of an unsuspecting victim roll upward as their choked on your relentless quest for revenge is something hard to forget. Violence is not glorified, but it is given a realistic representation through these details.

    Sound - 2/2
    The sound effects and music are incredibly well done. Hearing the shattering of a broken window and all it's pieces dropping to the ground or the ricocheing of bullets as the bounce around you sounds real. Enemies have a terrifying and recognisable sound to them. Guttural roars, howling whistles and perfect voice acting, all of which further embed the realism of the work you are inhabiting. The music follows the tone of the gameplay and story by providing calm release, serenading you through the astonishing moments of beauty you encounter, whilst adding an unprecedented and unbearable amount of tension during enemy encounters. The whine of a sound akin to a low siren becomes an ever present fear.

    Gameplay Mechanics 2/2
    The Last of Us 2 improves in every way, the gameplay of its predecessor. Character movement is fluid and realistic as you make seamless transitions between dodging and striking enemies, climbing over obstacles and stalking through the array of natural foliage that has taken of the world of Seattle. As you roll onto your back whilst prone so you can craft an item or fire an arrow at an enemy creeping up behind you. Speaking of which, enemies are well created and plentiful, in both quantity and variety. They will communicate to one another, flank you, and try to outsmart you. Dogs will whimper by the limp bodies of their handlers, humans will cry out the names of their friends as they find them fallen. Infected enemies will attack not only yourself but human AI and, in some cases, each other. There is so much more that could be written but alas...word limit.
    It's also worth there is a huge amount of accessibility controls included.

    This is a remarkable game not to missed. 10/10

    I'm not going to deny that this game was hard to play. Not difficult, just emotionally trying. That was exactly what the intention was. To me Naughty Dog took a huge risk here and it played out beautifully. It is well set up for a sequel and hopefully they won't keep us waiting another 8 yeatw!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU part II, like the name sugest, is a second part of an story. So you need to analise the game as a sequel for the first game.

    About the game-play: TLOU2 give to us the smooth game-play for the first game, with a lot of improve; the shooter part of the game have the same mechanic of the first game, with more animations and more smooth animations, everything sounds more real, the fight mechanics of the second game is way better than the first game, the aditional evasion mechanic makes the melle fight way better too, most important, the melle animations make sense with the scape mechanics, making a fluid scene in every fight scene.

    About the story: You need to understand that this game occours 4 years after the first game; Joel, Ellie and the rest of thw crew showed to us on the first game are now living in a "peacefull" city, with a "Peacefull" live, when you read the log of scouts, this is more clear. So... There`s some aspects of this situation you need to understand to get the point of the plot.

    When you move on the plto, you have a mission, a revenge mission, and a Breaking Bad mission also. The thing about this game is about you, becaming a monster, and undertand what makes you a monster... And why eveybody in this game is a monster.

    There`s plot hole, this is true. The game isin`t perfect, this is true also. But the things that this game makes good, is SO GOOD, that makes the bad things simple and small.

    IMO this is a 10/10 game.

    The game is incredibly emotional. Gotta appreciate all the work that has been done: the graphics, the voice, the motion capture and stuff. You will see a wonderful, well-written story, of Ellie's journey through the whole country, for revenge. That's all I can say about the plot. You really gotta check it out:)
    Very touching, emotional, and impressive work. Well done, Naughty Dog!

Seguramente agunos usuarios esperaban un producto mucho más mainstream, cómodo y habitual, como podría ser un Uncharted. Este juego es sin embargo muy crudo, valiente e incómodo en su propósito, tratando temas complejos en profundidad a través del desarrollo de la propia historia, las increíbles interpretaciones y animaciones, los diálogos, los minuciosos detalles y sobre todo: la obligación de confrontar sentimientos posicionando al usuario desde distintos puntos de vista hasta alcanzar una premisa global válida para todas las perspectivas. Algo no muy habitual en videojuegos y que puede haber descolocado al usuario medio, que quizás no quiera o no pueda hacer este ejercicio de reflexión y entendimiento y solo buscaba un juego divertido de matar zombies.

    Finished The Last of Us Part II last night, and every criticism I've seen up to this point is an insane reach. Of course we know killing is bad, but stories are allowed to tread familiar ground, especially when they're executed as well as that.
    I'm someone who's very averse to needlessly grim and violent genre works, but besides one particular maiming, there was nothing needless about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOILER HEAVY REVIEW/REACTION]
    While I agree that the first game is a masterpiece, Part 2 is even more so for me on so many levels... This game indeed has a very controversial story, but it makes perfect sense to me and I understand the decisions that the characters have made. Also, the parallel storytelling is absolutely genius, and it plays with my emotions so much. Then there's environment and gameplay, which are definitely elevated from the first game and then some.

    Now let's get onto the real SPOILER heavy portion of this review...

    ===Story===
    Naughty Dog wanted to make a game with a theme of vengeance, and they did just that. The whole game is surrounded by vengeance, and what people are willing to do to fulfill that. In my opinion, the story and character reactions were complicated but never out of place, even though sometimes they can be very overwhelming. I won’t dive too deep into the plot, but I do want to address two main arguments that fans are having.

    First of all, I would like to say that killing off a beloved character simply does not mean a story is bad. I understand people's feeling are hurt, since someone you love so much from the first game got brutally killed. But let’s be honest, Joel is not a hero. While this doesn’t mean he should die (especially in such way), you cannot say his death is not justified, especially that he killed someone's father, and essentially ruined the chance of a cure for the human race.

    Now let's move on to the main playable characters. Ellie was set on a quest to seek revenge because her father(-figure) was murdered, and she went on every length to accomplish that, which is what most of the players want to do after witnessing Joel's death. But when it comes to Abby, whose father was killed by Joel, also set on a quest to seek revenge, I noticed many people are suddenly not okay with that. Honestly, I think Abby's action is just as justified as Ellie's, the difference is that Joel's death is personal to the players, but Jerry (Abby's father)'s is not.

    ===Storytelling===
    Storytelling might be my favorite part of the game because it gives the players different perspectives. When I played as Ellie and Abby, I get to see their personal life, and experience their thoughts and memories separately. At a certain part of the game, I have to go to the same area twice, but as different characters. When I first played as Ellie, I didn't think much and just by default eliminated everyone in that area; but later, as I play as Abby (timeline wise Abby gets there earlier than Ellie so everyone's still alive), I get to talk to them and interact with them. While this doesn't make me feel entirely "guilty" that Ellie has killed them all (since they are obstacles to her goal), it added a personal touch to that story and gameplay, knowing these are Abby’s friends (and fur-friends) and they are just doing their job.

    The parallel storytelling in this game makes me think a lot more than other games. It turned an otherwise linear revenge story into something much deeper and much more human. I equally love Ellie and Abby at the end of the game because I see them both as human, instead of two game characters who are blessed by the creators, I feel their loss and pain, and I understand why they made all the decisions.

    ===Environment and Gameplay===
    I will not spend too much time on this other than saying the game is gorgeous but brutal, and the combat is super fun yet can be extremely challenging (especially a certain new clicker).

    Frankly, I don't write reviews much, but with the tremendous hate that this game has gotten, I feel a need to express my opinions (hence certain parts of this review are more of my reaction). Of course, Naughty Dog can just make another game of a cross-country tour featuring Ellie and Joel that's filled with love, and people would be happy. But I admire what Naughty Dog has crafted. It's a very dark, intense, complicated, and controversial story; but through the gameplay, I feel a much stronger emotion towards the story and much deeper connection to the characters than I excepted.

    This is a game that I would highly recommend anyone to EXPERIENCE firsthand, rather than just be an observer or just storm through the plot. There will be times that you feel happy and loved through the characters’ eyes, but also moments to drown in shock, hatred, and revenge. Afterall, they are human in a post-apocalyptic world, and they are all just trying to survive.

    Beside that, everything else about the game is top-notch. The graphic quality is insane with crazy attention to details. If you are a game designer, you gonna straight-away realise how many lines of codes were needed just for the ropes mechanics in the game. Hint: It is ENORMOUS.
    The combat, if i can rate exactly, would be 1000/10 when you know how to make use of everything that has been designed wisely and is supposed for you to use against your enemies. The game is not all about sneak-attack and there are more than 20 ways of approaching your enemies. You have 6 weapons for each playable character as well as bombs, arrows, silencers, etc. so stop saying that it is repetitive. It is your playstyle that is repetitive, not the game combat mechanics. Also, the game meelee combat is extremely brutal and you gonna feel for every hit you make. All i can say is that Naughty Dog did a very good job in making the combat feel so realistic.
    Music is another strong aspect of the game. Just watch the credit roll and you will understand it.

    Overall, if you ask me whether its worth your money and time : Yes, definitely. Give it a try and judge the story for yourself rather than just reading spoilers and watching some cut-scenes on youtube. The game feels extremely different when you ARE THE ONE that is actually playing it.

In fact, TLOU2 might even be better than the first one.

    To say "I loved this game" is probably a poor way to phrase it - because, wow, this game is so bleak and violent. The excellent non-linear storyline does a great job at showing both the humane and inhumane sides of the main characters. The graphics and sound design are both incredible too. Naughty Dog took a lot of risks with this game - but for me, all of those risks paid off.

    I also wished to have a happy ending for these characters that we cared so much in Part One.. Its not what I expected but have never, ever experienced such an emotional roller coaster during a video game. I personally think the story matches this cruel world, and another happy ending as we had in Part One would be unrealistic. The story is written extremely well, so good, that the story transfers feelings, exactly as in Part One. Everything else, Sound Design, Art (Characters, Environment), Actors, Soundtrack, VFX, Gameplay, AI, Programming is very well done and as a creator (game artist) I would say that its unfair to give "0" ratings just because the story was "bad" or just not as someone would have expected it. I think Naughty Dog and every included Outsourcing Company put a lot of love in this project and I hope we'll have more experiences in the future that transfers feelings so good through the medium of a video game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Collectively the greatest games I've ever played. Unparalleled story telling. The writers perfectly play with your emotions and your ideas of morality and your paternal instincts. A work of art. A masterpiece.

    As a huge fan of the first game I obviously felt the absence of Joel very strongly but no game had ever made me miss a fictional character so damn much. That's the power of the writing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is better than the first one. Joel was a bad person, Ellie is a bad person, and (shockingly) Abby is a bad person. You can try to convince yourself that "That's just the world they live in, they do these things to survive", but you're just deluding yourself. When you look at both the original and Part II as one story, you carry out horrific acts in the name of your own self interest, with Joel probably being the worst of the three. This game isn't about Joel, but given the community response, you'd swear that you spend more than 90 seconds playing as him.
    Naughty Dog have given the player a chance to look at the idea of actions and consequences. You pulled a trigger in 2013, and the effect of that has finally come to fruition, but not as you would have liked. Just like Joel massacring a hospital full of people, Ellie's actions in Seattle had consequences, offered from the perspective that we as players rarely ever think about. The first couple of hours playing as Abby were frustrating, but the moment that sealed her story as it's own troubled journey was when you decide to go back for Yara and Lev. She wasn't acting out of the goodness of her heart, but trying to prove to herself that she was a good person, it was a self-serving act. Just like Joel "saving" Ellie, just like Ellie's acts of vengeance. By the end of this game, I wanted either both Ellie and Abby to live or both to die, because the pitiable state that their respective journeys leave them in doesn't make you feel like the hero you want to be at the end of a 30 hour game. You should feel the weight of your actions.
    Just to comment, I liked Joel, with every second of screen time in this game, he was allowed to grow, which is why he had to die. No matter how much you grow, the sins of the past have a way of catching up to you, it's just fortunate that he had enough of an impact on Ellie to keep her from following the same path that he took.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this story, it made me have compassion for the enemy, everyone is upset because Joel died, so what? That’s life, people die, people grow up get over it. Everyone should delete the mentality that Ellie is going to act like a child when she is clearly an adult now, and that you should be able to bond with another character (Abby) because the world doesn’t revolve around Ellie and Joel sorry. I really liked the skirmish between the 2 and I was really enjoying the downfall of both characters, this game feels real to me and if you honestly didn’t feel any sympathy for Abby after losing her friends and/or seeing her at the end, then you’re just mad to be mad, get over it everyone gets what they deserve at the end. The visuals were stunning, everything about this game was awesome for me and I am glad I didn’t listen to others to shape my own opinion about this game, I took my time playing and enjoying everything about the game. Upgrading guns was awesome and collecting the cards was my favorite thing to collect in any game. Thank you for such an awesome game I really had fun and I’m looking forward to a DLC maybe for Abby and a multiplayer version! Expand

    This game is simply a masterpiece in every aspect of its design, and while the story is controversial I appreciated that Naughty Dog took brave risks to craft a raw, emotional and human story. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to play as Ellie again through terrifying stealth sections and experience this game's breathtaking spectacle.

    !This Review contains major spoilers!
    Seriously: If you plan on playing The Last of Us II avoid spoilers! It will ruin this amazing experience for you. You still might not enjoy this sequel in the end, but this game derves an "open-minded" and unprejudiced approach.

    (I'm not a native, so please excuse my English)

    To begin with I want to thank Naughtydog for both The Last of Us and The Last of Us II as these games have touched me and made me tear up like no other game. I do not think that you deserve all this hate. You have put together an amazingly well crafted, detailed and emotional game. Now there is some valid critissism to this game, it is far from perfect (but than again what game isn't), which I will adress later. As I mentioned the The Last of Us series is extremly emotional so I really wasn't suprised that the sequel to one of the most beloved games turned out to be this controfersial and polarizing. This game will make you feel uncomfortable, this game will make you furious and this game might even make you grief but that's what makes it uniquely emotional (at least for me)! Don't get me started on homphobic and hateful comments, but fortunately this is only a (very loud) minortity. Nevertheless these comments have to be adressed and condemned!
    Just to get this out of the way: I can 100 % understand if you did not enjoy the game, this is not a guaranteed 10/10 game. This game is extremly controversial, as your experience will largely depend on how you fell about Joel's death, you having to play as Abby and the character's "experimental" development. Will you get snapped out of the story and remain mad at the developers or will you be abel to lose yourself in the story anyways? Well to be honest whilst playing the game I sometimes also felt conflicted about the choices that were made. But ultimately I accepted the coices and had my most immersive gaming-expierence ever, which propably would have not been as easy if I hadn't avoided spoilers. So as I said I do respect if you didn't like the game, but at least give Naughtydog credit for the amazing production value and all the work that has been put into the game, it's not a 0/10 game.

    But now let's get to the point. What did and didn't I like about the Last of Us II:
    (+) Emmersive world
    (+) Emotional and innovative story
    "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surly lose myself"
    After losing Joel Ellie was taken the chance of forgiving and making things right with Joel, which is not only extremly depressing from Ellie's point of view but also for the player himself. We immediately feel fury and anger arising, we want to do Joel justice by killing Abby. But as the story progresses we have to witness that the Ellie we learned to love is slowly alienating from herselve. She is on the verge of becoming another humanlike, murdering monster roaming the post-apocalyptic world. Once it was Ellie who reminded Joel of the beauty and innocence in the world now she is the one "descending into hell". Again and again do Ellie and Abby meet but Ellie never gets the chance of taking revenge. It isn't until the end that Ellie has Abby's life "hanging by a threat". But in that very moment her last moments with Joel came to her mind, moments not filled with hatred but with forgivness. Ellie lost loved ones, she abandoned family and home, she brought suffering into the world but she has not fully lost herself. A small part of her did not fall victim to her vengefulness, she did do Joe right in letting humaneness prevail over hatred.
    The Last of Us II was a challenge indeed. Was I myselfe able to overcome my grief and forgive Abby? Lukily Yes. Do I understand it when people have a problem with this game? Absolutly! Did I expect this game? No! Did I want this game? No! Do I whish the Story had turned out differently? Yes! Do I wish Ellie had crawled back into bed with JJ and Dina? Of course! But was this the most emotional gaming-expierence I ever had? Most definitly!
    (+) Improved gameplay
    (+) Amazing graphics
    I think this is something we can all agree upon. This game is simply gorgeous. Whether you're looking at snowy landscapes, rainy Seattle or Ellie's and Dina's fairytale-like farm it will leave you breathless.
    (+) Outsanding level-design
    (+) The last of us is as charming as ever
    Did anyone not have a big smile on his face whilst playing the Joel and Ellie flashbacks or as we first explored the streets of Jackson or as we realized Ellie and Dina had started a family together...?
    (+/-) Joe's death feels rushed
    (+/-) Sometimes feels emotionally manipulative
    (-) Too much looting
    (-) Sometimes overdramatic and lessing subtle
    In conclusion The Last of Us II is, in my opinion, a well crafted, extremly emotional and human, inperfect non the less, masterpiece. It left me crying, raging, griefing and blissfully smiling. Simply amazing!
    Thank you Naughtydog!

However I was surprised by the sudden change in story with the death of Joel, and I wanted to hunt and kill Abby, however then seeing abbys back story I was split in emotion. Further on, looking after Lev as Abby I wanted to see Abby and lev live on and find the fireflies, however I also wanted Ellie to live in peace with Dina and their child, however Ellie still kept seeing Joels demise in her mind. And she believes to stop this she must then kill Abby, but when finding Abby and on the verge of killing her, she see's Joel before he died and in their final conversation. Then leaves Abby and Lev to find a new life in the fireflies after realising this won't fix her problem overcoming Joels death. The first half of the game I was unsatisfied by only the story, the second half fixed that for me. And finding out that Joel was in peace and relieved with how Ellie was ready to forgive him for saving her, left me with a sense of happiness for the characters. Overall I enjoyed the game and I feel like I could of enjoyed the story a bit more if Joels death wasn't as soon or brutal, and Ellie and Joel were on happier terms. Apart from that, visuals are amazing, gameplay is fun and rewarding. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most beautiful and well done games. It's a masterpiece that maybe all the people will comprehend when they grow up. We have the right to not like something, but giving a score of zero to a game it's immature as hell!

    And guys, let's accept the inclusion, humanization and deaths. So let me explain the most controversial. Guys, Joel's death was necessary for: (1) Ellie to seek revenge. She would need something very strong for that and something that we can connect, just to be shown that if we are mad, we are wrong too in the end. And ellie realizes this, why can't you? (2) For the moral of the story to say that revenge is bad and does not pay (3) To understand that everything in life has two sides. We hate abby but when we see her side, we can then know her motivation. Maybe at the death moment we are lost but until the game ends, we understand the entire situation. Guys, If you read game of thrones you will die hahaha
    I agree that his death scene could be better written because joel is very suspicious, especially with strangers, how come he fell so easily in this trap? I think it should have been written better and they had the capacity for it, because the rest of the game is incredible and well done. But life is like that isn't it? We can't predict everything, so as Joel. But going all over the internet saying that the whole game is bad, is total **** disregard and blindness. The game is perfect, have stunning graphics and the better of the generation. Going back to the story: The game it's not about heroes like an avengers movie, it's about human beings trying to survive and live in a world that is totally different from ours. The game humanizes situations and shows how fragile we are. Can you imagine living in a world like that? In a blink of an eye you can die there. Games like that need immersion people, it is not a game to shoot around enemies and score points, It's a game to stop to absorb the story and think, and consecutively grow and value what you have and what you can lose. Ellie had the opportunity to sorry joel but she can't anymore, and that is a life lesson. If you want abby to die because they killed your favorite character, then you don't have understand neither the first game.

This is not a happy ending kind of video game, it's more real than anything I've played before and the experience is something else. The story is very interesting and there's a sadness to it that's quite difficult to understand and accept, but kudos to ND for making it possible. There are parts of the game that are hard to get through because you feel this sadness, this anger towards some characters, you feel that life is not fair and you wish it were different. The characters were real, interesting and very deep, unlike anything I've seen before in a video game. The gameplay is fun, the mechanics are VERY different from the first one (especially in combat), but it makes it a lot of fun because you can play the same level using different techniques and strategies, which makes this game fun to replay many times.
    In terms of the storytelling, I thought it was a huge risk that ND took with the way things went down, but ultimately, it was the right choice. I believe this game will mark all future gaming experiences, where video games start merging with other types of media (like films), which makes this game all that more interesting.
    TLOU II is a must play, it's not the same to watch or stream it as it is to play it; the experience is very unique and different for everyone, which only adds to how awesome the game is. I recommend it for all fans of the original as well as people who look for games that touch heavy subjects and are not afraid to rethink their thoughts and ideals.

    El juego es una obra maestra. Me parece el mejor cierre y el más lógico qué le pudieron dar y además que el final es muy reflexivo y te pone a pensar en todo lo anterior que hiciste.

    This games story, although divisive, is fantastic! Many people have made snap judgements about the games story before actually playing it for themselves. If the leaks didn’t come out and people went into the game with open minds they might have different options and they might have had a easier time seeing what the game was showing them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible game. One moment it had be tearing up, then it had me laughing, and then it scared the **** out of me. The acting and writing in this game are unparalleled. If there was an Oscar for video game acting, this game would clean house.

    The game is also filled with jaw dropping set-pieces and some of the best animation I've ever seen in a game.

    I understand why some people are upset or disappointed with this game, even if I don't share their sentiment. The deciding factor of whether you like this story or not rests on accepting its inciting incident. Personally, I like the direction it takes. The only death that could have provoked such a warpath for Ellie is the death of Joel, and I thought it was handled beautifully, especially the scenes of Ellie reminiscing in Joel's home, her inability to finish Joel's song, and the emotionally resonant flashbacks.

    Liking the story also hinges on how you feel about Abby. I personally liked Abby--I found her personality more likable than Ellie's. She had a deeper moral depth, and her reasons for killing Joel are, I believe, justified.

    The score should also be mentioned. It had me hooked right from the start with several standout moments like the early sequence in the mountain forest. The music lent itself to the tension. And **** this is a tense game. At several points I had to pause to catch my breath, especially in the subway tunnels, the Descent, and Ground Zero.

    The Last of Us Part II is a heavy game, dealing with difficult themes. Where the first game explores the lengths one goes to for love, this one explores the lengths of hate and revenge. Joel gave up the development of a cure for his love for Ellie, and Ellie gave up everything for her hatred of Abby. And I believe Ellie would have lost even more if she had killed Abby, because the satisfaction of revenge is rarely something that lasts, like what Abby experienced after killing Joel.

    Overall, from the tense gameplay to the gripping story, this is hands down one of the best games I've ever experienced. I highly recommend it, even if I know some people will not like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don’t listen to the brigaders. As someone who has actually played and finished the game, I can tell you that in no way is it deserving of the hate and zeroes it is receiving. Though it could not have succeeded without the world/character building of the first game, I thoroughly enjoyed it more. For me, I went in with all the spoilers. I knew Joel would die. I knew I’d play as Abby for 10+ hours. I knew Ellie wouldn’t kill her at the end. I went in ready for this game to be flaming garbage. I went in hating Abby. By the time I finished her first day, I could already feel myself warming up to her. And I really didn’t want to. But that’s the point. That’s the execution that Naught Dog excelled at: Making the player realize that this situation isn’t black and white. Nobody is really a villain. I can’t hate Joel for dooming the world because he did it to protect Ellie. I can’t hate Ellie for killing all of Abby’s friends because she killed Joel. And I can’t hate Abby because she is a reflection of both of them. Like Ellie, she sought revenge after the death of her father. And like Joel, she redeems herself as a person and finds love and healing in a younger counterpart that she learns to care for. As for the ending, I can’t imagine someone playing through this entire game and still wanting to kill Abby. If that’s what you drew from this experience, you missed it by a longshot. I found myself repulsed during both of Abby and Ellie’s fights, wanting to let them both go. I cared for both of the characters, and it wasn’t easy to fight them. This game makes you feel how revenge poisons character. It’s beautiful. And for those who disagree with Ellie’s final decision, I’ll say it again, you missed the point. The point is forgiveness. This game is trying to teach you that forgiveness is so much harder and painful than revenge. This game drives that point home hard. And I loved every second of it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Questo gioco è maestoso. Definirlo action o gioco con gli zombie è quanto di più riduttivo possa esistere. È una storia, un racconto fatto di sentimenti (per lo più odio), persone, ricordi, amori, aspettative e sogni. La regia, il doppiaggio, la recitazione e l'ambiente sono meravigliosi. Il finale è di una tristezza inenarrabile, ma è anche fottutamehte emozionante e crudo. Non mi sono mai emozionato tanto per un film o una serie, figuriamoci un gioco. Chi ha dato meno di 9 o non lo ha concluso o non ha ancora la testa per apprezzare tale capolavoro. Non ho mai dato 10 ad un gioco, nemmeno ad un film, ma questa volta non farlo sarebbe una bestemmia. Spoiler:



    Lo scontro finale è totalmente opposto a quello che avrei creduto. Ho sofferto ogni colpo dato e ricevuto, Ellie si trasforma nel suo peggior incubo e abbandona ogni senso di umanità e perdono e si abbandona al crudo odio. Quando finalmente decide di smettere quello scontro inutile non lo fa perché ha perdonato, ma solo perché spera con tutto il suo cuore di poter perdonare. Facendo così però ha perso tutto, anche la sua ultima speranza di felicità. Non posso fare altro che applaudire.

    Something we as consumers of games must understand is that the game developers do not have any obligation to tell players the story that players want to be told.

    So, with that out of the way, if you've read the leaks and decided not to play it, you're doing yourself a massive disservice. This game is a technical and, yes, storywise, a masterpiece. I didn't personally like some of the elements in the game. But that doesn't make it *objectively* bad. It's like this - mango may be my favorite ice cream flavor. So it doesn't mean all other ice cream flavors are bad. I can still enjoy very much many other ice cream flavors if the one I want isn't available.

    This is a LONG game. It really takes you on a journey that turns several characters' fates on their heads. It makes you feel intense hate, grief, joy, misery and fear. So, buckle up. Let all your preconceptions and prejudices go and just let the creators tell the story they wanted to tell.

    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]
