    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This second part shows you that even a "hero" can die in a blink. A post-apocalyptic world is cruel, bad and lethal, and nobody is safe.
    Maybe the plot was a a little ridiculous, some events were too convenient for the plot to unfold, but even so it does not detract from the great work that the Naughty Dog team did, you can see the love, effort and dedication they put into this great work. Was a sequel to the first game unnecessary? Yes, maybe, but this second part is a decent closing for characters that made us love several years ago.
    Gameplay is just wonderful, the visuals are perfect and the music is gonna give you goosebumps every second.
    Give it a try, this is a must-play for the closure of the Ps4

    As a fan of the first game I have to say that it was way beyond my expectations. It is not the story I would like to see, but it is an extraordinary one, and a must game experience. This is my game of the year and a great way to complete the arc which I fell in love with back in 2013. The Last of Us universe is a cruel one, and it always take the best parts of ourselves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terminei o jogo hoje ainda estou meio à deriva. Gostei de jogar com a Abby desde o início, pois quando ela mata o Joel, percebi que era pessoal, e fiquei bolado pra saber qual era a sua motivação. E é exatamente isso que o jogo te entrega, dois lados da mesma moeda. Uma história vivenciada por duas personagens diferentes. Enquanto a Ellie ruma à decadência em busca de vingança, vemos a Abby crescer como personagem e como pessoa. Sem falar que a campanha da Abby é bem mais dahora que a da Ellie. Enfim, TLOU parte II com certeza superou o primeiro em profundidade de personagens, suas motivações, emoções e sentimentos. Jogo foda. Flws. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm so saddened by all of the negative, hateful reviews of this game.

    The Last of Us 2 is probably one of, if not THE BEST GAME I've EVER played in my entire life (and I'm in my mid 30's).

    --Gameplay--
    TLOU 2 takes everything good about the first game and combines it with everything that makes the Uncharted series of games so fun to play with heightened mobility and more streamlined controls.

    There are more weapons with more customization options and more ways to get through combat in such a satisfying way. Snipe from a distance, shotgun blast up close, use smoke bombs and trip mines (my favorite) to really level the playing field against tough and satisfying opponents.

    Everything that sucked (yes.. sucked) about TLOU 1 was removed from this game (using palettes to get Ellie across water, etc) and what's left is one of the most satisfying control and combat systems in a game I've ever played.

    --Story--
    Here's where people REALLY go off the deep end in their hate for this game, which is both moronic and just overall deeply deeply sad.

    Joel is NOT a hero, nor is he supposed to be the pinnacle of admiration. So many people are SO mad about Joel dying, and THAT'S THE POINT. You as the player are supposed to feel enraged at the brutal murder of Joel so that you play as Ellie with a burning, passionate hatred and unstoppable will to get to Abby.

    When you get to that point, you feel triumphant in your quest. But then the game takes a MASTERFUL turn and flips the script. Some might say this is a trope, but mostly people are just angry and upset (and stupid) about being forced to view, feel, and understand the motivation behind the opposition.

    Playing as Abby feels frustrating at first, but there's a glimmer of curiosity as we are plunged into her world and we hope to uncover some deeper understanding as to why Joel was murdered. It's something that is going through Ellie's mind the entire time we are hunting down Abby, and now Naughty Dog is finally giving us a taste of what those motivations are.

    During the time we're playing as Abby, we see an entirely different and new side to the events that are unfolding in Seattle. We are introduced to a very human set of characters that were dehumanized in the eyes of Ellie because of their actions. We are given a rare opportunity to understand our enemy. By the end of Abby's Seattle adventure, we are (if you're not a totally brainless and heartless moron) actually ON HER SIDE!

    Joel selfishly(!) murdered Abby's father, a man who wanted to bring a vaccine to the entire world and was ok with paying a very heavy price for that "victory." Maybe he deserved to die because he devalued the life of one person (Ellie) in favor of others, but these decisions aren't supposed to be easy. None of the decisions in this world/story are easy. Abby is fully justified in her pursuit of murdering Joel to get revenge, and we are exposed to her fragility and sensitivity (and aggression) throughout her half of the game. She could have sailed into the sunset with Owen but instead went back to save the life of the Seraphite children who saved HER life. The story is layered and nuanced in a way no video game narrative has ever felt (to me) in all my years of gaming.

    The Last of Us 2 forces you to see beyond your own selfish, hatred, misguided motivation and understand the opposing views. Most people are upset with that (I think) because most people are just as selfish and fueled by anger and hatred as Joel and Ellie (and Abby).

    At the end of the Seattle chapter of the game, Abby winds up sparing Ellie, leaving her to live with her haunted nightmares of Joel's murder and the fact that her life is "meaningless" because she didn't die when she was supposed to so she could save humanity. When Ellie decides she can't go on without her revenge, she selfishly leaves Dina and the perfect life they've cultivated for themselves so she can pursue her distorted view of justice.

    At the end of the Santa Barbara chapter, Ellie winds up saving Abby's life so they can finally battle to the death. Right before Ellie gets her ultimate revenge, another image of Joel flashes in her head. This time, not one of him dying or as a bloody mess, but an encounter where she promised an attempt at forgiveness. Would killing Abby justify that? Ultimately, no. So she stops. The cycle of killing has to end, and she realizes she has to give up her selfish hatred in order to do what's "right."

    The naysayers who are calling for Abby's death are completely MISSING THE POINT that Naughty Dog's excellent writers are trying to convey. Instead, Ellie returns home to an empty farm and (presumably) decides to go out and fulfill her promise to Joel of forgiveness.

    Bravo to Naughty Dog and the entire voice acting team for such a wonderful story.

    F U to the haters

    I had the true pleasure of just beating the Last of Us 2. I am giving this game a 10, because I truly feel that it deserves it. I am not trying to combat the 0s although a lot of those seems to be more based off the leaks than the actual game.

II had the true pleasure of just beating the Last of Us 2. I am giving this game a 10, because I truly feel that it deserves it. I am not trying to combat the 0s although a lot of those seems to be more based off the leaks than the actual game. Well let me tell you, for someone that found out about a few of the leaks before the game came out, the game delivered for me, and then some. I won’t lie this game took me longer because it could be emotionally Daunting at times. It was brutal, depressing, complicated. Many times I would say, “Don’t do it, Ellie.” But you understood why, and can I say the ending really helps recapture why. This game is truly what a good sequel should do. Keep us familiar with the world while adding a deeper dive into the characters. Let me talk about my gripe first because it is nit picky: But The gun customization, while I loved all the new things they did with it, the animation took awhile to get through. Don’t get me wrong it was cool to see, but after a few times I was ready to get back to the action. With Ellie we got that, we got see her grow from hopefully being this goofy kid, to a competent adult wishing her father figure trusted her more. Especially with how he lied to her at the end o of the last game. (Which they handle so well in the sequel). This game you truly see what it means to become obsessed with one mission and to see it through until the end. Which by the way I get why she was doing it in the first place, but the last scene at the end of the game made it even more painful. (Well dons Dogs!) Ellie’s gameplay was a blast, having her trusty switchblade with her was always fantastic!

    I also really enjoyed what they did with Abby’s character. They took someone you hate when you first meet her, and then they break her down and you see how she ticks and by the end you see how much she has grown. The last fight *chef’s kiss* also Abby got that dope Boss Battle in the basement of the Hospital. I loved it! All in all the narrative was impressive, and as much of a risk as it was Naughty Dog swung for the fences and hit the ball out of the park. While this game does get so dark and brutal and depressing they give you wonderfully tender moments, Dina and Ellie, Abby and Owen, Ellie and Joel, Abby and Lev (friggin love Lev!) and so many others (special shout out to the ladies man Manny!) they also give you some fantastic flashbacks. The one for Ellie’s birthday brought a tear to my eye. Also the way the guitar was incorporated into the game beautifully done.

    The score sublime, the art perfect, and the new customizables were great! All of the acting was top notch, Ellie still may be my favorite character from the series but Abby, Lev and Dina fought there way into my hawser.

    This game had me hook line and sinker. It was an unexpected but wonderful sequel that after some time to ponder my existence as a human I will have to play again to grab the collectibles.

    Nicely done Naughty Dog you made a sequel worth of its predecessor.

They’ve read or watched a bad review on someone ELSES opinion and they slap it on here. You need to play the game yourself all the way through to actually understand the story and message. Also on PS4 only 30% of people have the trophy you get for finishing the game... you see? Only 30% of people who own the game actually completed it. So take bad reviews with a grain of salt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a lot of the criticism I read of Part II, I see a lot of people saying that the ending should’ve involved Ellie killing Abby, or a choice for the player whether to do so. In my opinion, either of these endings would’ve fundamentally gone against what I believe the writers’ intentions were in telling the story the way it was told, and undermined the entirety of the rest of the game.

    This game is about forgiveness. Everything that happens in the game culminates in the moment Ellie remembers Joel on the porch as she’s holding Abby underwater, in the same way that everything in the first game culminates in Ellie final ‘okay’. For me, when Ellie chooses not to go through with the vengeance, it was like a pressure relief valve was finally opened, releasing all the tension the game had built up between Ellie and Joel, Ellie and Abby, and Ellie and herself. In that small moment, Ellie finally opened herself up to at least the possibility of forgiving Joel for what he did to her (which we explore through the flashbacks), of forgiving Abby for what she did to Joel (which the game attempts to make the player themselves do through the second half of the game), and of forgiving herself for how she treated Joel after he told her the truth, the guilt associated with that, and the destructive and self destructive path she went down to hunt down Abby for taking Joel away from her, along with the ‘future days’ of reconciliation she envisioned between Joel and herself (which we see, and feel, in the first half of the game).

    All of the ways the game built up these layers of hate, guilt and, ultimately forgiveness within Ellie and the player would’ve been for nothing if Ellie simply kills Abby. Giving the player a choice about this would diminish the impact of the ending as much a choice between saving Ellie and humanity in the first game would’ve diminished the overpowering nature of Joel’s paternal love built up throughout that game.

    Ellie killing Abby would’ve been a truly grim, cynical, and nihilistic ending where Ellie really does end up with nothing left and completely alone, and would’ve turned it into the ‘revenge bad’ story a lot of this game’s critics claim that it currently is.

    My interpretation is that Ellie’s discovery of her own capacity for forgiveness is what drives her to keep going at the very end of the game. She’s holding on to the hope that Dina can also find the same intuition within herself to forgive Ellie for leaving their life on the farm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An emotional tour de force through the landscape of lesser human motivations of hate and retribution. The game makes you care about the character and their state of minds and does not allow you to simply think in black and white patterns of protagonists and antagonists. This game, like none ever before, makes you walk in your "enemies' shoes" to show you both sides of the coin. Ellie's vendetta takes you deep into her cracked and traumatised ego and lets you care for her. But the price to guide her through her walk of revenge is to enforce you an understanding that not all enemies are random murderers. They're troubled, cracked and traumatised beings, too. And just as Ellie cares deeply for Dina, the antagonists, too, are human beings and have someone they deeply care for and are human beings lashing out due to their grieve. This is a story so masterfully told it deserves Game of the Year and, check that, possibly Game of the Decade. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is **** amazing! it gets across the point the developers and writers were trying to achieve with the cycle of violence being broken through both ellie and abby (both in their own ways and along their own timeline). they way that each timeline intertwines is absolutely thrilling and such good attention to the way the game works, as well as the story overall. It’s incredibly captivating and takes the players on an emotional journey, which proves to be one of the best i’ve ever played, at the conclusion of the game when all the emotions rush back in and are re-emphasised. Many people may not like how the game ended because you spend this whole time fighting people only to not achieve what would be perceived as the main goal, and that is a valid thought, however if that’s all you take away from the game then i’m sorry but you fail to see what it really is trying to achieve because, like mentioned earlier, the goal was to END this cycle of violence. the ending proves to show ellie’s contempt nature and how she has come to terms with both hers actions and joel’s as she is finally able to move on from this hate and revenge and attempt to live a somewhat normal-we life to what she had been. Now back to joel’s death, yes i do think it could’ve been better detailed and more stretched out as he was such a beloved character, although i think his death overall shows his growth and how he acknowledges the wrongs he has done and he doesn’t really need anything more in his life because he was ok with how most things played out. So overall, i think it’s a really **** good game if your able to understand the depths, themes and emotions which are meant to be instilled and evoked. Solid work ! Expand

    El juego es increíble, y lo digo de manera muy objetiva.
    Mejoró en todos los aspectos, la historia es agridulce (no es para todos) pero es una gran historia,, si bien me dolió la muerte de Joel, y hasta el ultimo momento odié a Abby, me identifiqué con al final Ellie y sentí que no podia matarla a pesar de lo que hizo.
    La música de nuevo en esta segunda parte es fenomenal gracias a Gustavo Santaolalla
    La combinación de todos los aspectos, (jugabilidad, historia, música, gráficos) lo hacen un juego increíble si lo ves de manera objetiva, personalmente no puedo darle menos de un 10 de calificación.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
