    Only an idiot can rate this game under 9/10. Its a masterpiece whatever the IDIOTS say. Story, gameplay, visuals all that components are 10/10. Deep emotional sense story showing what we are and we can become. Just dont read the lower reviews because they are useless and they dont make sense !

    An exceptional sequel. Simple plot but beautifully told, not understood by many since it distances itself from the usual videogame narrative canons. Incredible, deep, varied and fun gameplay. Graphically is something stratospheric. A masterpiece of this generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Phenomenal game. It was such an emotional experience. the graphics are the best out there, the voice acting is incredible, and the gameplay is always so fun and intense. The story is also incredible, and it is the only game I actually cried in. There has been some criticism of the story. The main reason is Joel's death. People are mad at the disrespectful way he was killed and how they don't like Abby and her friends. There are also more reasons for the hate of this game, but I am just listing the two reasons I think are the main ones. About the reactions of Abby and her accomplices: People think that when they play a game they have to agree with everything that happens in it. That is not the case, especially in this game. This game gives you the facts of a situation, and lets you decide how to feel. About Joel's death: I agree that his death was disrespectful, but I think that the disrespectfulness of the death is a good thing, it shows you how violent and serious the world of The Last of Us 2 is. It also fuels the fire of hatred against Abby. Overall, it makes you think about what the characters do and what they are, and changes you as a person. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esta madrugada me pasé del tirón el juego, sobre las 2:30 cuando me he levantado a las 7:30 para ir a currar. Y me mantengo en lo que dije anteriormente, es el mejor juego al que he jugado y amplia y mejora aún más la excelente primera parte. A nivel técnico, en todos los sentidos : gráfica, artística y audiovisualmente y también de rendimiento, es lo mejor que hay en ps4 incluso que Rdr2 ,aunque para mi es el 2 en el top.
    Jugablemente es una delícia, amplia y mejora todo lo del primero, añadiendo la agilidad del personaje. Y narrativamente, no hay otro juego que que te haga sentir tal nivel de empatía con los personajes, de emociones de todo tipo (rabia, culpa, comprensión...), mejorando incluso al primero que ya es decir. En cuanto a la historia, lo pondré en spoiler evidentemente, me parece brutal y solo rezo para que la futura serie de HBO tenga una temporada 2 y sea sobre esta continuación, además que espero sepan captar el tono de las 2 partes.
    Lo importante de la historia de esta segunda parte, al igual que en la primera no es tanto su calidad o complejidad sino cómo está contada. Aunque ha crecido en ramificaciones e historias paralelas, sobretodo por todo el arco argumental de Abby, lo que la hace excelsa es la manera que tiene que te implique con los personajes y sus emociones. A parte de la valentía de usar un medio en el que casi la totalidad de los argumentos son blanco y negro, es decir de buenos y malos, para hacer ver al jugador el punto de vista del otro y consiguiendo algo inaudito en este medio, humanizar al "malo" poco a poco al manejarlo e ir conociendo su historia, pasada y futura. Y de una manera magistral, sin grandes alardes o explicaciones te muestra las consecuencias de una obsesión malsana, aunque muy humana, como la venganza. La venganza y lo que se desprende de llevarla acabo cueste lo que cueste es el motivo, el motor de toda esta segunda parte. Y aun así, incluso cuando Ellie retoma la senda del odio y la venganza, empatizas con ella, te hace cómplice de la culpa y el dolor de perder a Joel y sobretodo de poderle haberle dicho que lo perdonaba. Y al final cuando Ellie está a punto de perder del todo su humanidad, llega el acto de redención cuando es capaz de perdonarse a sí misma (a Joel ya lo había perdonado hace mucho) y ve reflejada su historia con Joel en Abby y Lev, al final puede emparizar con ella al igual que nosotros lo hemos hecho. Y te hace ver, al igual que en la vida real, que lo normal es que ni haya buenos y malos, blanco o negro, sino humanidad y una enorme escala de grises. Que aquel al que odias tanto, se parezca más a ti mismo que de lo que crees. Después de este tochazo, sigo viendo que podría hablar mucho más sobre lo que han conseguido en este videojuego.

    Para acabar, este last of us parte 2 junto con el primero son lo que fué Watchmen para los cómics, un golpe en la mesa para que este medio, los videojuegos, se vean como algo más allá de un simple entretenimiento para adolescentes y Peter Pans.

    PLEASE. Do. Not. Listen. To. The. Haters.

    Seriously. I started a Metacritic account just so I could write this review to counteract all the negative review bombing happening from all these haters.

    The Last of Us Part II is the most amazing story-driven game ever to be released. I have played a lot of video games in my day and nothing even comes close (maybe God of War but still...). I personally think this game requires a certain level of emotional maturity to truly appreciate, which is part of the reason people have been hating on it so much. This game does not hold your hand. It won't be nice to you and play out the way you think it should. This game is rated M for Mature, and it requires that maturity to appreciate it. If you have a lot of psychological issues or consider yourself to be rather emotionally fragile, this may not be the game for you. The story and gameplay are both incredibly grounded in reality. It is brutal. It is heavy. And it is f*cking beautiful.

    If you only like action-packed games where you run around and kill enemies thoughtlessly to get more points or whatever, go buy Call of Duty or DOOM (which by the way, I am not bashing those as I enjoy them both).

    If you want something new, take a risk and play The Last of Us Part II. Naughty Dog has broken the mold as to what storytelling in video games can become. Just remember to go into with an open mind and a realization that your journey will be brutal. I cannot state enough how impressed I am. Each element of TLOU2 is immaculately thought out. The fighting, the gunplay, the stealth, the exploring, the puzzles, the collectibles, the voice acting, the environments, the enemy design, the music (god, the music... best ever). It is all perfectly crafted to create a believable dog-eat-dog story set in a post-apocalyptic world. Naughty Dog outdid themselves. Don't believe all the negative hype. This game is the real deal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely stunning in every aspect. Visually incredible, attention to detail is incredible, level design has improved drastically since TLOU1. I know lots of people complain about the story, but in my opinion I don’t agree with almost all of the complaints. Joel had to die in this game. People complaining about this overlook the events of the first game. It cannot be simplified down to one line, “revenge bad”. The game takes us through a story of complex characters changing as we go, and to see them grow and evolve as well as the subtle details really make the story come to life. It is a truly human story and I loved all of it, BECAUSE of us having to play as the villain. The game did something bold, and it is very complex. In my opinion, that’s what makes the game great.

I feel sad see all the bad reviews for a game where many people put their whole effort and love in it. I get why many people hate the Story decisions.

But as Joel said "I wish things where different, but they ain't". Most times Life makes the worst decisions and that is what makes the Games Story realistic. And I love it how they managed to write and develop such a comprehensible and relatable antagonist. Another thing I have to talk about are the dialogs and the emotions, both are like nothing else, more realistic than in any other game before.
    The Graphics are just awesome and sets high stakes for upcoming PS5 Games. The most realistic looking characters and animations ever seen in a video game.
    The gameplay is absolute solid. They took the base from the first game improved it in every aspect and added some mechanics. What more do you want?
    The soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla is perfect again and gives the right atmosphere.
    All in all this game is a masterpiece just as it's predecessor, with a story that makes you think about justice and how useless revenge is.
    I'm looking forward to Part III which is coming to PS5 for sure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a pretty brilliant character study, but it's also a fun (yes, fun) third-person stealth shooter with some next level gore effects. The story goes to some **** up places but it's not 100% misery porn, and it's less about revenge than it is about empathy and forgiveness.

    The criticisms that are valid (though I don't agree with them, I understand them): it's kinda long compared to other Naughty Dog games, clocking in at 21 hours for me personally, with a time rewind at the halfway point that makes the pace feel a bit strange; the story can be really dark and unforgiving, at times relentlessly so, to the point that I wouldn't recommend it to someone who can't handle watching movies about trauma; not every character is developed all that well (Isaac, and some of the minor WLF characters).

    The criticisms I don't consider valid at all: Joel deserved a noble death (nobody in The Last of Us deserves a noble death); Joel acted out of character before his death (he spent 5 years settling down in Jackson, helping strangers regularly with Tommy, and it is a sign of his growth as a character to have his final act be a heroic one (saving Abby)); Abby is unrealistically buff (living as a soldier in a stadium with a **** farm and a working gym oughta make you fit, not to mention her bulking up so much is motivated by her desire for revenge that lasts for 4 years compared to Ellie's rampage happening over three days); playing as Abby is false advertising or something (go check out the marketing materials for MGS2 that made it look like you'd be playing as Snake); ending sucks (if you wanted to kill Abby after everything that happened, you clearly went into this game wanting to hate it -- like, even if you don't forgive Abby, the fact is that she's not really any different from Ellie, so if you didn't want Abby to kill her in Seattle, you shouldn't want her to kill Abby at the end).

    10/10 because I've never seen a Naughty Dog game balance their gameplay and narrative so well before, and because you can shoot people's **** legs off.

    PS - if you hate this game, remember that games are an artistic work like a movie or a TV show, so if you buy it and you dislike it, it's not the same as if you buy a vacuum and it doesn't work. The Last of Us Part II is undeniably a polished and well made product, so if you disagree with the artistic choices, tough **** stop sending the creatives who worked on the game death threats ffs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found my first playthrough a miserable experience and would have rated it a 5 or a 6.

    In attempt to explore my feelings about the game I did another playthrough, but everytime I went to unravel a thread I thought I had seen I found nothing but solid rope.
    I never managed to justify my initial impression, in fact I found that the game is actually exceptionally well written and directed..

    I feel like it my initial reaction might have had something to do with the inconsistent nature I view characters I'm playing as opposed to when I'm watching characters on tv. They are obviously characters and they have completely separate motivations from me and will make choices I would not but when you are playing as a character that isn't wildly different from you and they make reasonable choices in games you get to feel like you are the character, so when the character then begins to makes choices outside the bounds of what I would have chosen there is some level of cognitive dissonance there. This means I had to learn to watch Ellie just simply as a character and not entangle myself in her choices. In addition there were some choices the character made that actually were consistent with ones I would have made, because of an unhealthy obsession with reaching a goal that predictably lead to some bad consequences and that didn't feel good.

    Edit: Thinking it through, I really feel it stems from the ending of the first game. Remembering back to my first reactions to it I rather disliked being forced to kill one of the last remaining doctors in that world but in the years since, I've forgotten the worst acts of Joel and since it's muddled with me "being" Joel and knowing Joel is at heart a good person I've built up stories and psychological defenses to justify the acts. This game destroyed those defenses and I didn't want to admit that in a way, as Ellie, I was ultimately chasing after myself.

    I still love Joel though, as a character that had to make a horrible choice that I in some sense can understand and doesn't ultimately boil down to black and white, evil or good.. Just **** up..

    As a final note, I would recommend that you pay attention to what is going on in Ellies journal. I didn't really understand why Ellie and Dina where even a thing before I read in there that they have known eachother for years and Ellie clearly had a crush on her from before. This might be the only major weakness I found, it's fairly subjective though, others might just accept that they seem in love and are good together but for whatever reason I just didn't find it very believable before I read those journal entries.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a phenomenal follow-up to its outstanding predecessor. Don’t believe all the hate and controversy surrounding it. To receive the full effect of the story you have to play through the entire thing for yourself. The people who hate Abby and are complaining about playing as her have either not played the game enough or at all and/or are too tunnel-visioned to accept it. The game shows you Abby’s motivations for killing Joel, and even though I’m not happy he’s dead, I totally understand it. Abby wanted to take revenge on her father’s killer just as Ellie is doing. Abby and Ellie actually have more in common than meets the eye. They both have extremely similar motives. In contrast with most people, I actually grew to like Abby just as much as Ellie. They show that she’s not just a brute-like monster that killed one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. They give her depth and characterize and in doing so, bring to life a new beloved character. They also show how she grows as person and sets aside the ruthless killer she once was. People are complaining because they can’t and won’t understand the complex story Naughty Dog is trying to tell. They are showing that Joel and Ellie are villains from one perspective, while they are seen as heroes from another. The same goes for Abby. No one is totally innocent, and no one is entirely a villain. Things are not merely black and white like you see in many games. I honestly thought the story was much more complex and interesting than the first one. You are introduced to many more perspectives and motivations and characters who are as complex as they are interesting. Of course the gameplay and graphics were amazing as well (though that shouldn’t have to be said about a Naughty Dog game). Nothing huge has changed gameplay-wise from the first game, they’ve changed it up enough to feel fresh like the addition of the jump button. Overall, this is a game that has to be played from start to finish to get the full effect. Do NOT listen to hate from the internet. This game MUST be played start to finish period. If you’re willing to give it a chance then you’ll see Naughty Dog has yet again created something very special in The Last of Us Part II. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have, figuratively, taken to pen on the furores surrounding the controversial subject matters within an unpopular storyline in ‘Last of Us 2’. This will be my first review, such as is my apathetic nature but I am compelled to because I recognise the detrimental impact the fallout will have on this game and potentially curtails the advent of evolutionary gaming that ‘Last of Us 2’ has paved.

    It was with consternation that some reviews across all boards were scathing and the social media awash with negative commentaries over the sequel to ‘Last of Us’ leading me to try and provide an alternative viewpoint. After a 34 hours play though to the completion of game, I can testify that it is an emotionally tough game that intellectually challenges you of the folly these paths our ‘heroines’, Ellie and Abby have embarked on. I use the term ‘heroines’ very loosely, because they are most certainly not that. What they are as human beings; flawed and brutalised by the reality of the world they exist in and striving to find a sense of purpose to their life and to hide their regrets behind a thin gossamer of revenge. You will be frustrated with Ellie as she progresses with single minded determination and her unwillingness to look beyond her failure to reconcile with Joel. You will dislike Abby immensely from the onset as she is institutionalised emotionally with a distinct lack of empathy, trapped in a strict lifestyle regimen of her making.

    The game is obviously not about Joel and Ellie, but about the consequences and ramifications of their actions and how they contributed to this game. It should go without saying that it can be hard to reconcile these emotive contexts but I believe that this is the whole point of the game. You are forced to carry out unpleasant actions in order to progress, violence is prevalent everywhere but they are not stylised nor sanitised. They are brutal and graphic leaving very little in the way of cathartic release you would get from mowing down a hoard of zombies with a .50 cal machine gun in a mainstream game. Perhaps this is an indicative of the pointless nature of vengeance where violence begets violence and how people can lose their ‘humanity’ as they dehumanise each other in the name of causes they adhere to. This is where the writing of the game starts to shine, I am not a writer nor am I a critic analysing and breaking down the storyline in minutiae. Owing to my deafness, I excel at body language and I have got to say this, that while the body language and the nuances of expressions and characteristics of the characters in the game have a long way to go, they are the best I’ve seen and I was able to develop connections from playing Ellie and Abby on a deeper level than I have with any other characters in other games. I believe the objective of this game is to demonstrate just how easy it is to lose yourself through the cyclical acts of violence based on the beliefs and values of what fraction you are in, as a part of a faction against another. This mirrors uncomfortably to present day political climate. What I really appreciated towards the climax of this game is how I empathised with Abby at the beach while I despaired of Ellie when she doggedly insisted on persisting on the destructive course.

    It does not matter if writing of the storyline is somehow incomplete or insufficient, what matters is that a connection is made to the said characters and there they can be fleshed out in your mind with gaps filled in to make sense of the complex relationships. At the closing scene, Ellie leaves the farmhouse a strong and resilient woman and the life she is leaving in the farmhouse is just simply a chapter that is closed. Joel still lives on in her.

    Now to address the elephant in the room, Ellie’s sexuality or her sexual preferences… I simply don’t care. As for Lev, Abby will do him right, gender is as meaningless to me as race or creed and sexual orientation. This is why I am concerned about ramifications of outcry over ‘Last of Us 2’. I can see that it is an incredibly difficult and complex game in terms of incorporating controversial agendas, introducing moral dilemmas and highlighting humanitarian issues to game playing (and re-playability). I really would like to see Naughty Dog push the boundary further in terms of game evolution to be a valid platform for full intellectual and emotive interactivity and see ‘Last of Us 2’ despite it’s shortcomings lauded for daring to force gamers to question their actions.

    Mi opinión en español , el juego es muy bueno, me encanto la verdad. Pero tiene un par de cosas...

    Aspectos a tomar en cuenta sobre lo que se está hablando:

    La muerte de Joel
    Joel estaba con cierta ansiedad por haberle mentido a Ellie y peor aun cuando ella lo descubrió, es un punto en el que las personas no lo dicen, eso cambia a las personas.

    Cuando Sara murió, Joel cambió su forma de ver la vida, cambió por completo, el dejo de ser el que era antes, si recuerdan bien, el cambio a ser muy frío y era un traficante de armas al que solo le importaba terminar con lo que debía, a todo costo. Luego conoció a Ellie y el cambio completamente, pasa todo lo que ocurrió con ellos en la primera parte y ahora que lo vemos al final del juego llorar por Ellie, podemos darnos cuenta de que el siendo ya una persona mayor y mucho mas tranquilo, volvió a ser como en realidad es, no podemos decir "Joel habría sospechado de Abby y sus amigos" cuando el ha confiado en los hermanos negros en la primera entrega.
    Y su muerte fue como la vida real lo es, de un momento a otro. El se convirtió en un hombre noble, doblegado, es la misma persona que estaba con the last of us 1 con Sara.

    Era una bomba de tiempo para que las pocas luciérnagas quieran matar a Joel, el fue una persona mala en su momento. Y fue cuando menos se lo esperaba.

    EL FINAL

    Me parecio muy bueno. Ellie tiene un problema psicológico en el que no le dejaba tranquila por la muerte de Joel, la gente piensa que no debió ir a por Abby si no la iba a matar, no la mató porque sentía que iba a ser igual, por eso tuvo ese flashback de Joel muerto. Así que decidió aceptarlo.

    Fue un final agridulce al ver a Ellie perder lo que mas queria...

    Extra

    Ellie se identifica con una polilla, por que buscan la luz, las luciérnagas...

    My opinion in Spanish, the game is very good, I really loved it. But it has a couple of things ...

    Aspects to take into account about what is being talked about:

    Joel's death
    Joel was with some anxiety for having lied to Ellie and worse even when she discovered it, it is a point where people do not say it, that changes people.

    When Sara died, Joel changed his way of seeing life, he changed completely, he stopped being what he was before, if you remember correctly, the change to be very cold and he was an arms dealer who only cared about ending what he owed, at all costs. Then he met Ellie and the change completely, everything that happened with them in the first part happens and now that we see him at the end of the game cry for Ellie, we can realize that being an older person and much calmer, he returned To be as it really is, we cannot say "Joel would have suspected Abby and his friends" when he has trusted the black brothers in the first installment.
    And his death was like real life is, from one moment to another. He became a noble man, bent, he is the same person who was with the last of us 1 with Sara.

    It was a time bomb for the few fireflies to want to kill Joel, he was a bad person at the time. And it was when I least expected it.

    THE END

    I thought it was very good. Ellie has a psychological problem in which she was not left alone because of Joel's death, people think that she should not have gone after Abby if he was not going to kill her, she did not kill her because she felt that she was going to be the same, that's why she had that flashback of dead Joel. So he decided to accept it.

    It was a bittersweet ending when I saw Ellie lose what she loved most ...

    Extra

    Ellie identifies with a moth, because they look for the light, the fireflies ...

    As in life, each story has its protagonists and villains. Each and everyone of us are protagonists of our own stories.

    Ellie is not the hero. Abby is not the villain. Vice versa. This game made us sympathize with both sides of the coin and showed us that there isn't right or wrong.

    Characters can be controversial, and that's the beauty of the character development in this universe (TLoU1, Left Behind, and TLoU2). People ARE controversial. Naughty Dog got the guts to do that in such an amazing way, felt like a slap to the face. This is a game about hate, how it leads to nothing, and its never ending cycle.

    No need to say anything about gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, acting, environment, and how the gameplay makes us feel the characters' feelings.

    Such an unique experience. 10 out of 10.

    2. They are bigoted towards LGBT and cannot stand playing a character that is queer. Your typical good 'ole boy or closeted type.

Essa visão maniqueísta de que controlamos o mocinho e que ele vence no final está presente em 99% dos jogos em geral, mas alguns vêm para nos fazer refletir. O gosto amargo de The Last Of Us 2, nos faz pensar como a natureza humana é diretamente moldada às nossas necessidades mais básicas. Por empatia criada pela parte 1, torcíamos para que Joe tivesse um desfecho heróico, porém as consequências dos seus atos lhe trouxeram um final amargo, porém merecido. Justiça e merecimento não andam necessariamente juntos e essa percepção invariavelmente vem com a experiência de vida. A vida não é justa, é uma série de eventos aleatórios, ora guiados por nossas escolhas, ora guiados por escolhas alheias. Fico feliz que uma experiência emocional tão grandiosa tenha sido concretizada em um videogame, e fico impressionado com a coragem dos desenvolvedores.
    Entendo quem não gostou e, infelizmente esse jogo não foi feito para essas pessoas.

    It was a shock. When Joel got killed I was left staring at my screen, controller on the floor. Halfway through the game I get to play as Abby(the killer). I didn't like the idea. I didn't wanna play as her.
    10 hours later, seeing the world of the game through her eyes, I was surprised that not only she grew on me, but I got to root for her! That's a story we'll made for me. I get it that's not for everyone. I get that some fans will hate it. But yes, you are allowed to not like the story of the game! And trust me I am a fan of the first one, and the Left Behind DLC. I loved Joel. I loved his relationship with Ellie. It did brought tears to my eyes. During the first game, during Joel's murder and during the flashbacks. I don't know if I can forgive Abby. But I'm willing to try.
    Story wise aside(which I personally loved), the gameplay is awesome. It's an improvement of the first game. I don't get all the negative reviews calling it **** gameplay wise, because its like TLOU but better. And no matter howuch I love the first one, I'm not sure that another road trip with Ellie and Joel is what the series needed. That story was told. That story made us cry and get attached to characters. And now it s time for a new story. That(personally made me cry again and get attached to new characters), might not be for anyone I get that but oh well. That's my 2p.For those who hate the game, fair play. For those who loved it, I get you! For those who haven't played it, give it a chance and judge by yourself!

    This game was incredible. I felt Naughty dog took a big risk with writing this story this way and I'm happy they did because it came out beautifully. It's really interesting seeing so many people having issues with it, but very few are actually backing up their argument.

    Gameplay: Super solid. I felt in control, and coming from Souls games, i really enjoyed the addition of dodging.
    This game was incredible. I felt Naughty dog took a big risk with writing this story this way and I'm happy they did because it came out beautifully. It's really interesting seeing so many people having issues with it, but very few are actually backing up their argument.

    Gameplay: Super solid. I felt in control, and coming from Souls games, i really enjoyed the addition of dodging. This added a new branch of strategy when planning out how you would handle encounters.

    Environment Design: Insane. I couldn't believe how much time it took to get from one area to another until i started reading how long it took some people to finish the game. Just starting from one side of the room or area and moving to the other for loot and to just admire the way everything was put together, i can't express enough how beautiful the world is. The effects, the lighting, the sound, the foliage on everything. I love all of it.

    Story: I can see why people would have issue with a few things. I gotta say though, I was on the edge of my seat for every second of the experience. I love the direction they took, and i fell in love with the decision they made. It's a real rollercoaster and if you just let the story take you, you're in for a wild ride.

    I am sad about the main thing people seem to be upset about, but that character had to go for this to be what it was. I can't wait to play through again! I think I'll wait for ps5 and play both through back to back.

    I truly love this game. Never have I gone from despising a character to rooting for that character in any piece of media. Thank you naughty dig for this amazing, haunting and brutal experience.

    Well, I mean, it’s a goddam masterpiece isn’t it? An incredible achievement from all involved and a game I‘ll never forget. I had high hopes and the game exceeded them, and then some. Also, considerably more game than I was anticipating with surprises coming thick and fast.

    I wasn’t sure what to expect, as the first part in my opinion could not be topped. Naughty Dog has given us the entire story and so much more. It’s beautiful, funny, and emotional, a must play for all TLOU fans.

    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]
