    Best way to define it is a roller coaster of emotions, takes you to a journey that makes you wonder if you're doing the right thing. There's enough material to go further and make more content.

    I have never played a game like TLoU2 before and I truly believe it deserves all the praise game journalists seemed to have handed out so willingly prior to release! It is a masterpiece, beautiful and emotional. It is not perfect, but it gets very close and will re-define narrative interactive storytelling in video games for years to come.

    When I put down the controller after more than 35h of focused gameplay, I was speechless and in awe of what the Naughty Dog team and the excellent cast around Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, and Troy Baker have created. Even now I struggle to find the right words to describe the experience. It was a constant emotional rollercoaster ride: up, down, up, down, further down and a little bit up again. It’s a dark and brutal game. I laughed, I cried (a lot). I felt guilt, desperation, fear, anger, hate, but also hope.

    The STORYTELLING is superb. I never expected to become so invested in Ellie’s story. Don’t get me wrong, I always knew she was going to be the main character. But seeing her unhinge like that and spiral deeper and deeper into darkness on her quest for revenge really got to me. After all, Ellie was the innocent one in the first game. Putting the player knowingly into the shoes of her antagonist for a considerable portion of the game was a bold move by the creators, but it paid off in my opinion. TLoU2 impressively depicts that nothing is either black or white and no one is only good or evil. There are no heroes in this game and no villains. The game is about revenge, yes. But it is also about love and forgiveness. It is as ambiguous as its predecessor. And much more divisive in the delivery of the major plot points.

    I loved the GAMEPLAY. There is rarely a break in immersion when transitioning to cutscenes. More than once I was still pressing buttons without realizing the cutscene was already underway. The gameplay is much more diverse and full of options than ever experienced in a ND game before. Whether you choose stealth or go in guns blazing (if the resource situation permits) or do something in-between – everything is possible. Prone movement, dodge button, and that guitar mechanic are gold!

    GRAPHICS are as good as it can possibly get on the PS4 system. The visual presentation of the game is absolutely beautiful and stunning, starting with the animation of facial expressions and movement to building this atmospheric, densely packed post-apocalyptic world! Can’t wait to see how the game looks on PS5!

    The AUDIO DESIGN is perfect. I played with my headphones on and the dimensionality of the sound when turning with my character into different directions was amazing. As for the SOUNDTRACK – sparse and reduced to a minimum in both instruments and notes – it just always works really well. My highlight was the acoustic version of “Take on me”. Ashley Johnson, you can sing to me any time!

    REGARDING HATERS:
    With that being said, the quality of graphics, gameplay, and sound alone justify a rating of 5/10 for this game. I have read several of the very negative reviews to better understand what the issue is and in all cases people were very disappointed with the story in general and the first 2-3h of the game in particular. Let me tell you this, haters: Being disappointed with the story, but praising technical aspects of the game at the same time does not justify a 0/10 (or slightly better) rating! Grow up, learn how to reflect and gain some perspective, stop skipping cutscenes and stop watching someone else online play the game for you!

    WHAT ELSE:
    If you consider to buy/play TLoU2, you should know that this is not a happy game. It is dark and brutal and you will feel tons of differing, often negative emotions. And that is okay! You are supposed to. The story is not linear and not all answers are immediately delivered to you. You will need patience. You will need to keep an open mind about the story and watch it slowly unfold in front of you. And finally, when you’re still sitting there staring at your TV screen long after the credits rolled, reflecting on what you have just experienced, you will likely come to realize THE LAST OF US PART II is a masterpiece, a stellar example of interactive storytelling, and my game of the generation. 10/10!

    It is the perfect sequel and it gives a perfect closure to Joel and Ellie`s story.
    ********SPOILER ALERT********
    if you didn`t finish the game don`t read the following

    I know that many people are not going to read this but for those who actually finished the game and did not understand the ending (or doesn`t know how to feel about it), I will leave you with an analysis that may be useful to some:

    Ellie's hatred for Abby is an external reflection of Ellie's self-hatred.
    Joel deeply hurt Abby and Ellie in different ways and they both punished him for it. Ellie hates Abby for torturing Joel to death, especially since she didn't have a chance to restore her relationship with Joel. This is a parallel to her situation with Ellie because she also tortured Joel, she did it for years but in a different way, and I would say that in a more painful way for Joel, and that was to disconnect from him. Ellie hates herself for torturing him like this and for not restoring their relationship when there was still time. That is the real pain that she has been trying to avoid facing throughout this quest for revenge, she is like a "junkie" who uses revenge to avoid dealing with those painful feelings of regret. This is the vision she has while she is drowning Abby (when she has the flashback of the scene on the porch with Joel) and chooses not to kill her. She is not only forgiving Abby, but more importantly forgiving herself and finally coming to a resolution as to what happened between her and Joel, I think Ellie leaving her guitar leaning against the window and walking away symbolically represents that she has forgiven Joel, and she made peace with what happened between them and she's finally ready to move on and start a new life.

    When I finished The Last Of Us Part II for the first time, I felt empty and honestly, I didn't know what to feel, whether I liked it or not, but after much deliberation, I think it is truly a masterpiece.

    People who say the game is just about "revenge=bad" or that the ending "feels utterly, hopelessly pointless", I think they really didn't get it (or didn't play it). Because this game is about forgiveness.

    This game is not at all what the fans expected, but I think that's what makes it so great.

Having played Part I, arguably also one of the best video games of the past generation, my expectations for the sequel were very, very high. I did my best to avoid the leaks prior to launch, and took my time playing the game, until the very end. It's almost hard to believe Sony and Naughty Dog took so many risks with a AAA title, but thankfully they did, and hopefully paved the way for others to follow. The narrative is extremely well thought, and intense. Every graphical, audio, and game play-related aspect has been improved and feels next-gen. But the story, the dialogues, the character building, are what makes The Last of Us Part II an unforgettable experience, and one especially important to engage with, and think about, during these troubling times.

I venture to say that this was the best game I have ever played in my life and I very much doubt that I have another experience at that level.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Juego imperdible si eres fan de la primera entrega. Si ya te spoileaste y te dejaste llevar por memes probablemente debas esperar un tiempo para jugarlo.

    Este juego para mi no fue como una segunda aventura, si no más bien fue ver las consecuencias de la primera entrega.
    El final es amargo pues como lo dije son el resultado de una mentira y una decisión que condenó a la humanidad. Por lo tanto para mí esta historia es la adecuada.
    Desde siempre pensé que en esta nueva entrega el guión iba a ser imposible superar al primero, pero está segunda parte no la hace nada mal. En mi opinión es un juego que por las decisiones que toma la protagonista si estás te gusten o no, es algo que tiene que ver mucho con como es cada jugador en su moral.
    El juego vuelve a hacer lo mismo que su antecesor: cuestionarnos si lo que hace nuestro protagonista es lo correcto. E intenta darnos una lección de vida sobre las dos caras de una moneda
    En mi caso el juego terminó mostrando a una Ellie que tomó la desición que yo quería que tomara. Pues a mitad de la campaña empecé a desear que no cumpliera su objetivo, obvio no sin una confrontación pues el juego te pone en la piel de la antagonista de este juego y en mi caso yo sí empaticé con ella y quería saber por qué hizo lo que hizo. No lo apruebo pero en esta historia no hay buenos ni malos, los personajes siempre han estado en una lucha por sus propios intereses.

There is a lot things you may say about the gameplay, but for some reason most of the people don't and they don't seem to care so let's go straight to the story.
    The story is great. People who say about plotholes or smth didn't pay much attention during their playthrough, pretty much everything is explained, even things you might not care about. The storytelling sets a new mark for cinematic videogames, I'd even say that not every movie achieved so much in terms of cinema language. The story is told with the rule - show, don't tell. Pretty much every action and character motivation is shown and not told to you verbally, so you have to think and try to understand the characters by paying attention to all the things they say and do, all the flashbacks shown to you etc. Many people weren't prepared for this, especially after the first game which was pretty easy to understand. Actors in this game play their roles flawlessly and every cinema aspect from camera angles to dialogues is made beautifully. Also story structure is very nonstandard not only for a videogame but for a movie too, but I won't spoil anything, you should play the game for yourself. I give it 10 out 10 because it was one of the most unique experiences I've had in videogames. I tried to not spoil anything so you would get the whole experience for yourself because this game deserves it.

After playing fully through this game, the story is definitely overall a different in tone from similar blockbuster titles these days. For me, I loved where they took the story and every other part of the game.

    Gameplay wise, the game is fantastic too. Fights are challenging but rewarding, and there is no one solution to approaching enemies. You can be very creative with how you get past each area. I would recommend playing this on Survivor difficulty. Although several parts can be very challenging, this difficulty pushes you to utilize all tools at your disposal and think outside the box. One specific mechanic that I love is the ability to make enemies turn on each other and sneak through the chaos that you unleashed. This is especially useful if you want to preserve supplies for a later fight. Compared to the gameplay of the first game, it feels like they refined everything that worked before, and added many new great mechanics as well.

    Characters are fantastic. There is no way to properly describe why I loved the characters in this game without spoiling major parts of the plot, but overall all characters in this are dynamic, complex and easy to empathize with. I don't agree with the backlash people are giving about not making Joel's character 'true to who he was in the first game', and I urge people who feel that way to play the game FULLY through if they haven't.

    Story, like the characters cannot be best described without spoiling things, so all I will say is that it is NOT The Last of Us 1 at all. It is very different. I loved how Naughty Dog told it. I feel that everything that happened within the story made sense with the actions of the characters, nothing happened "for no reason". Actions have consequences and that is a major theme in TLOU2. I understand why people are upset going into this game and expecting a similar tone to TLOU1, but Naughty Dog chose to do something very different, and you may love it you may not. You can give the story the best chance it can have by erasing any expectations going into it.

    Finally graphics. They are stunning. Watch some gameplay, it just looks great. Not much more to say there.

I cannot even fathom those who are claiming the game has a terrible story with poor and/or uninteresting character development. Many people's problems stem from a certain event that happens in the game's prologue, and it's a shame that they are unable to overcome their disdain to give the rest of the game serious consideration. The Last of Us Part II is an incredibly sad, incredibly beautiful game with very profound messages about vengeance, forgiveness, and learning to understand others. Many reviewers are trying to generalize the entire 30 hour experience as just "revenge and violence are bad," but it is so much more than that. The storytelling is absolutely phenomenal and left me more emotionally impacted than any other game I've played--including The Last of Us 1. Additionally, the gameplay builds on the solid formula from its predecessor and remains engaging, tense, and brutal. Whoever may be reading this that is on the fence about playing this game because of its poor user score, I am begging you to give it a try. Ignore everything you hear and create your own opinion--I went in having read nothing and had an amazing experience. Just keep an open mind and consider what Naughty Dog is doing with this game. Every little thing is intentional and they all come together to create a soul-crushing cinematic story. Expand

Joel died as he should. He was not a hero, he was a trafficker who made mistakes that condemned humanity. Abby is not a villain or in any case, no more than Ellie. Even Abby spared Ellie's life twice, forgetting everything. Instead Ellie was filled with hatred and revenge. Abby proved to be better than Ellie.

There were many moments where I put away my controller because i needed to get myself together before being able to continue playing. That might sound like a negative thing, but those moments, when you pause or even quit the game for a moment and think about what's happening, are exactly what Naughty dog want from you. The story constantly makes you feel contradictory, and i love it for it.
    Besides this, the gameplay was similar to that of the first game but more streamlined, more realistic and with more options for how you want to approach combat and non-combat situations. It took the good parts of the gameplay of the first game and improved on it.
    The game looks stunning, i was impressed that all of this was possible on a PlayStation 4.
    Then there is the acting and the music. I'm putting both of these together because it without it the story would have fallen flat and both were able to deliver the extra layer of emotion that was necessary for me to give this game a 10.
    Overall i'd say, if you liked the last of us (part 1?), and liked how in that game you were made to think about morality because of how you were forced to do something you might not have done yourself and liked how Naughty dog is able to make you feel all kinds of things, I think you will like this game just as much as the first one.

Spoiler or not it doesn’t matter. This is a journey everyone should experience. A true evolution in how a game can tell a story with hidden subplots that ask you to think about every action you take. Play this game with an open mind and you’ll probably never play anything like it again. It’s just terrific!

    Rant: I am disappointed at the false hate on the game. Just because Joel died doesn't mean the game is doo doo. Many of these people are babies that saw their favorite youtubers disliking the game and hate comments from other babies and assume to hate too. The worst part is most of these dummies didn't even watch or play the game which is absolutely immature. Imagine working years on a game your insanely proud of just to be hated on and called crap because of your bosses belief or a character dying. Btw the story was phenomenal and I actually liked Abby's character. People only hate the game because they are FORCED to hate the game. If people even speak their mind they are shamed or yelled at which is ridiculous by babies who haven't played the damn game. I also played the game blind and didnt watch any leaks or spoilers which is why I enjoyed it so much.Also, dunkey is a godamn champ for being true to what he thought about the game and speaking facts.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us II is a game whose story challenges the player in ways that most other games don't. Like many games, it makes the player feel strongly about its characters. Unlike many games, it uses its narrative to ask the player to change their minds about them. To see that your attachment to a character doesn't make them a hero. And that the the person you see as a villain can be motivated by the same internal interests as the characters you love. Many will have you believe the story is bad, or stupidly simple. That is not the case here. This game is just more emotionally complex than a lot of people are ready for right now. Many people had certain expectations for what should happen in a story, and when those expectations weren't met, they blamed the story. This game turns what seems like a revenge plot on the surface into an emotional mountain climb. It's tough to experience, but worth it in the end. Expand

Sempre criamos carinho e empatia pelo personagem que jogamos. Foi assim no primeiro game com Ellie e Joel e nessa sequência novamente, só que desta vez a Naughty Dog nos mostra o outro lado com a personagem Abby e nos perguntamos quem são os heróis dessa história, ou será que existem heróis. A história te prende do começo ao fim, são muitos momentos marcantes. Logo no como temos uma cena impactante, triste, mas depois entendemos o verdadeiro motivo dos fatos, um outro lado, uma nova visão dessa história. Com toda aquela sabedoria que só a Naughty Dog tem. A história foi muito bem moldada, momentos de gameplay intenso, outrora com uma calmaria, mas isso não é ruim, muito pelo contrário, são momentos bacanas com os persongens tem, é como se eles lembrassem de momentos importantes que passaram e ficaram em suas memórias e com certeza ficará nas nossas lembranças também. Por falar nisso, o game volta e avança no tempo e jogamos em épocas diferentes cada trecho do game, mas não se preocupe, isso é feito de uma forma bem fácil de se entender. O gameplay continua maravilhoso, na verdade é a mesma fórmula de sempre, com umas pitadas a mais, pra que mexer no que já é bom? Coletamos peças pra dar upgrades nas armas e isso é feito em uma bancada de forma bem realista, é bem bacana de se ver e o número de armas está de bom tamanho para um jogo desse estilo. Temos algumas habilidades iniciais que podem ser destavadas com os "comprimidos" que achamos no game e pra destavar novas categorias de habilidades temos que achar algumas revistar especiais que achamos espalhadas nos cenários, explorar é essencial. Isso tanto pra Ellie como para a Abby. Além disso as duas também tem colecionáveis, a Ellie junta uma especial de cartas de super-heróis, enquanto a Abby coleta moedas antigas que ela coleciona, tudo espalhado em lugares bem escondidos pela galera da Naughty Dog.
    Os cenários são maravilhosos, tudo é muito lindo aos olhos, tudo foi cuidadosamente feito e com certeza The Last of Us Part 2 tem um dos gráficos mais perfeitos dessa geração. Assim como em Uncharted 4, a sequência de Ellie e Joel passui momentos de mundo semi-aberto, passando por sua maioria por momentos lineares, o que pra mim não é nenhum problema, pois prefiro jogos assim.
    Quanto aos inimigos temos uma boa variação, mantendo alguns do primeiro game e trazendo novos, como o tropego, um infectado que anda mancando e que epeli gases tóxicos, um infectado bizarro com várias partes de outros infectados são alguns exemplos.
    Do lado dos humanos temos seus fiéis amigos, os cães, que rastreiam Ellie por onde que ela vai. Os inimigos estão mais espertos e chamam pelos seus campanheiros e se lanentam quando um deles é morto pela Ellie. Aqui uma crítica, a Naughty Dog economizou nos modelos dos inimigos então se prepare para matar muitos "gêmeos" no jogo. No geral a inteligência artificial dos inimigos é boa e não desagrada.
    O game conta com uma longa campanha, onde explorando o game você passa de mais de 35 horas de duração e garanto que você vai querer jogá-lo novamente.
    Se você tiver mente aberta e querer ver tudo o que a Naughty Dog tem a contar com esse game, vai fundo, muitos criticaram um ocorrido triste do jogo, mas como disse no início a Naughty Dog mostrou os dois lados da moda. Quem são os heróis, ou vilões em The Last of Us Part 2? Um jogo pra ficar na história! Nota 10.

    que la venganza no lleva nada, al final Ellie se da cuenta que lo que hizo Joel no estuvo nada bien, lo que hizo con las luciérnagas no está ni de cerca a lo que un héroe haría y que el hecho de vengarse no resolvería absolutamente nada.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you expect uncharted 4 with zombies you may as well not buy it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Uncharted! But this game is an emotional roller-coaster containing everything:
    - violent endings
    - empathy and moral dilemma - gore and terror
    - revenge and pain
    - teardrops and anger
    - love

    It’s basically entertainment for grownups, not children. It’s a story that makes you feel and it seems that some people can’t handle that. Spoilers below:

    You’ll probably be as shocked as I was when Negan killed my favorite characters in The Walking Dead when Joel dies. You will feel betrayed and hurt. I believe some people gave the game a bad review solely because of that twist in the game. Same thing happened to the walking dead tv series. A lot of people quit the show because of that. Except real fans.

    Don’t worry though. Joel will be present throughout the game. Abby is another great character you get to know and love. The dynamics of this love/hate relationship between you and the characters as well as between the characters themselves is emotional and well done. There’s seldom a game that has put me through so many different feelings and emotions. Abby is an intriguing character. I love how the game portraits her. She’s not conventional at all and after reading some other reviews of the game I can’t help but comment on this: 1) the game couldn’t care less about explaining her gender identity because it wasn’t needed to be explained. If you think she’s a trans or gay or whatever, that says more about you than the character. 2) Ellie was always a gay character and that’s not a spoiler, have you even played the previous game?

    The ending is open. It’s room for more storytelling. Ellie’s journey has not ended. Neither has Abby’s.

    10 out of 10 from me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This entry enhances and expands the world we met back in 2013. Here's a not-so-popular opinion, but I really enjoyed the story. The characters have a real motivation to continue their journey, no matter how much you or I think about acting differently in their places. For those characters, their reasons are valid. To say that the story is garbage because a favorite character dies? Or that the end doesn't make sense because the character's priorities change? It is a story to be enjoyed without waiting for a happy ending. After all, it is a post-apocalyptic world, where being alive is already a victory.

    Pros:
    - In technical aspects, the game brings the state of the art within the capabilities of the PS4. Graphics, animations, sound (effects and music), all first class.
    - Solid duration (I finished in more than 43 hours, but I play very slowly)
    - Each playable character has its own, customizable arsenal.
    - Various possibilities for personalizing the experience in the options menu. Many accessibility features.

    Cons:
    - I missed a greater variety in the fighting. For example, we almost always face a team of soldiers or a group of infected people. Hence, we have no incentive to vary the tactics to face them. We rarely have to face soldiers and infected at the same time, for example.
    - There is a lack of a way to track collectibles while playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It disappoints me that’s so many people have given this game such bad reviews. This game is incredibly well thought out. I loved the story because it wasn’t what I expected and every character had layers, instead of a linear personality. Having Joel die so soon was a shock, and I was angry at first, but I understood that’s the point! This event is what drives the entire story of the game and it’s supposed to make you feel upset. The aim of this game isn’t to make the player feel comfortable and to reminisce about the Joel and Ellie duo we all loved in the first game, it’s meant to make you feel unsafe and scared about what could be next. For a game to evoke these kind of emotions in the player just shows that it is more than just a game. They want you to experience it as the characters would, and let’s not forget the incredible graphics in this game! They worked so hard on every single little detail like the way Ellie’s backpack moves when she walks, the way thin ice breaks, the hand movements when Ellie plays the guitar, and my favourite, how the cables/ropes in the game move/are coiled. One thing I particularly loved, was how the cut scenes and game play seamlessly transition into one another, something the first game didn't have. I was engaged in the story from start to finish and I couldn't be happier with the result. Incredible game play, graphics and attention to detail! Expand

You will not get what you expect from the story, if you're the fan of the first game, but you have to try it and not listeb to any reviews.
    8/10 but 10 because of so many 0-s that this gane not deserve

    Masterpiece. Really made me look at the characters not just as zombie killers who are surviving the apocalypse but as fully fleshed out human beings with motives and feelings of their owns. Environment is on a whole nother level. Fun mechanics and they really reward exploration. Had a blast, shed some tears, and really enjoyed every minute

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR: Don't understand the negative reviews, game was stellar in graphics and design alone (at least a 7/10) - story was complex and emotional (10/10) for me. If you wanted the same story from TLOU1, play TLOU1!

    I have been a Naughty Dog fan for a long time - fell in love with them with the Uncharted series. I have been gaming since the PS2, but really don't enjoy online games like Fortnite or Call of Duty Online - really enjoy single player games with lots of storytelling (Naughty Dog's specialty).

    I have played (and loved) the The Last of Us - and waited patiently a long time for this game to come out, even making sure that I borrowed a friends PS4 Pro to see the game in 4K with HDR. I did not watch any leaks or look for any spoilers before playing - I wanted to get the full experience the first time.

    Gameplay (10/10): Very similar to TLOU1 with the addition of jumping. Basic premises are the same - you're trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Crafting, skill upgrades, and weapon upgrades are similar to TLOU1 - except for skills you have to find guidebooks hidden around the environment to unlock new "channels" to upgrade on each character, which are upgraded with pills you find in the environment. Weapons are upgraded with parts you find around in the environment - and completed at weapons benches you must find as well. The weapons upgrades had some of the coolest animations I've seen in a game. Just like TLOU1 - weapons and some resources are scarce. If you expect to go in guns blazing into every enemy encounter, you will likely find that you die often and don't carry much resources around. To me this makes sense as you're in a post-apocalyptic, scavenged world.

    Enemy AI was impressive to me. Addition of dogs added an extra challenge, but enemies were very responsive to changes in the environment - which caused them to change their searching patterns and even go so far as to look under cars and in hiding places. Pretty normal 3PS gameplay otherwise.

    Graphics and Animation (10/10): Some of the most amazing graphics I've ever seen in a video game - Uncharted 4 and RDR2 are the only games I can think of that comes close. After I beat the game I bought the art book - and just ordered a limited edition print of concept art from the game for decorating my room. Every scene seemed incredibly realistic - and the lighting and animation were stellar. Some of the vistas and lighting effects left me with tears in my eyes and jaw on the floor. Motion capture was great as always, as well as some incredible voice acting.

    Story (10/10): A lot of the negative reviews I've read seem to focus on Joel's death and playing as Abby. To me, Naughty Dog has always pushed the boundaries of storytelling. And as someone who has studied a bit of film in college, people who push the boundaries will often receive initial blowback and negativity, but turn out to be lauded later on. I think the same is true here. Naughty Dog took a risk and defied a normal story telling and plot structure - and to be fair, warned us that 2 would not be the same as 1. And it wasn't - 1 had a great father-daughter dynamic that was destroyed in 2. Although if you go back and play 1, in the epilogue you can see that dynamic change when Joel lied to Ellie.

    When Joel was killed - we all felt the hurt and shock - I've seen some describe it as a punch in the gut. That's what it was intended to do. You were supposed to hate Abby at the beginning - it was supposed to make you rethink everything from 1 and what you'd seen so far in 2. For me, the shock of Joel dying made my sad and upset - and thirsty for revenge. But as we played as Abby and saw her backstory, we came to see her motivations for revenge - and knew where that was getting her. Friends and family dead - nobody left to care. I thought that the flashbacks were well placed and made sense - and also provided some time to play with Joel and Ellie again. The astronaut scene in the museum brought tears to my eyes - and reminded me of what Abby took away.

    The "ending" with Abby was anticlimactic for some - but so many things in life are that way. Not everything ends with closure or understanding- but to me if you paid attention and listened to what the story was saying, you saw that Ellie realized that killing Abby would get her nowhere. She would be (and ended up) alone, sad, disconnected - killing Abby would not bring back Joel. The final scene brought me back to the beginning, and showed me how unfair Abby's actions were - how Ellie was going to try and reconcile with Joel before she took that all away. I cried like a baby.

    Good storytelling makes us feel emotions - all sorts of emotions. Stories aren't designed to always be happiness and rainbows. Sometimes they show us the cold hard truth, This story made me hurt, it made me angry, it made me think. That's what true story telling does - makes us think and feel - and this game did it like no other I've seen before.

    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]
