    First I was a little concerned about all this **** storm around this game, but at the end I can say that it was just a bull****. The game is good, the narrative is brilliant.

    It is a new level for the games to talk to the players, so it possible takes some time to people to start listening.

    Thx, Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in campaign-oriented games! So much work has been dedicated to this game -in every aspect of it- by the developers, fact that makes me question the validity of all those review bombers giving it a 0/10, 1/10 etc. So in case you are willing to study the reviews before buying the game, just ignore the unreasonably low ones (this also applies to the unjustifiably high ones). I’m gonna review the most discussed features of the game separately below:

    • Graphics/ environment & character designs/ details: I give it an undeniable 10/10. Perhaps the most advanced game we’ve ever given in the current-generation era of PlayStation. • Gameplay/ Mechanics: well, are not given any robust differences in the way of playing compared to the first tlou. We surely have an extended variety of collectibles and artifacts that help us dig into the events and lifestyle of a post-apocalyptic world, which is quite interesting. Levelling up the difficulty made the gameplay much more challenging and strategic to me. Stealth system works better than the one of the first game. Unlocking skills and upgrading weapons made the experience much more tense and fun for me. However, when playing as Abby i was a bit bored at some parts and also when approaching the ending of the game, the gameplay felt a bit repetitive. I’m gonna give it a 9/10. • Story: well this is the part where most of the ‘fans’ go crazy, saying it’s a complete trash. I respect the fact that each and every one of the players approaches differently the story, that’s why it’s so interesting. I personally loved it. I loved the fact that naughty dog didn’t hesitate to snob the fanservice and instead gave us their point of view, delivering their vision exactly as they imagined it. After all, it is a post-apocalyptic world, don’t expect everything to be good and optimistic. Joel’s death (even though it was brutal and made me feel empty) was totally understandable since it served as the ‘backbone’ of the part 2’s existence. The journey that is followed by Ellie to reach her target -i.e. Abby- leads to decisions and scenarios generated by the protagonist that feel wrong in general (for instance, the brutal killing of Nora and the unnecessary death of pregnant Mel) and made me think it was worth it to avenge Joel by killing everyone except his killer. When it comes to playing as Abby (god this is maybe the most critical point of discussion and main reason for gamers to hate the game), the feelings are kinda mixed with the wider percentage of us (the gamers) feeling awkward and unwilling to play as her. However, the developers have offered a wider range of capabilities -for instance, different skills, weapons, crafts, artifacts etc.- that propel you to an interesting and enjoyable gameplay with very cool sequences (rat king encounter and scar island escape). In the end, I felt sympathy towards Abby. This is me talking subjectively. Many people may say that they ended up still hating her. Totally respectable. But I liked her character the more I played the game and the more I was processing her backstory. Abby and Ellie are two different sides of the same coin in my opinion. They both seek vengeance for their father figures, they both end up losing people they care about and finally, they both realise the mistakes they have committed. There were 2 main parts that captured my attention and made me understand how deep this game was. First one is that the unstoppable persuasion of revenge costed Ellie (By losing 2 fingers) the only strong connection to Joel which is her ability to play the guitar and thus remember him. The second is that in the last scene with Joel and Ellie. To be exact, she tells him that she isn’t sure if she can forgive him for ‘abstracting’ the meaning of her life/immunity. Then she tells him she could try to forgive him, then Joel says he’d like that. At that moment, she says okay to him in the exact same way she did in the ending of the first game. The guitar theme playing in the background is also the same as the one in the first game. Same music, same people, same word. ‘Okay’. However this time, Ellie says okay to the truth whereas in the first games ending, she said okay to the lie. The concept of the game aims to promote honesty and forgiveness, not hatred and vengeance. That’s what the majority of haters fails to understand. Story and concept gets a 10/10 for me. Finally, to however may play the game, I suggest you to experience it from an objective point of view and with an open mind as well!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has come under a lot of abuse but wow. It has people talking and dividing opinions and i think that’s what they set out to do. Most people wanted a copy or something very similar to the first. They wasn’t going to do that. I found myself being shocked about the route I was taking or they was making me take. I hated Abby and couldn’t wait to get to kill her. Then when I was taking charge of her I didn’t want to. By the end I wanted her to live and take lev to the fire flys. I wanted Ellie to just cut her down and get in the boat and walk away. That’s the only change I would make to this game. She would just get in the boat not say a word and leave instead of the fight that ensues. By killing Joel they wanted to give you the ammunition to fight for revenge when abbys fight for revenge has the same right to be heard. Also away for story it also has improved the combat and other game mechanics ten fold. It’s a great sequel and that’s just what is a sequel. It’s doesn’t take away from how great the first one was. I hope for a third is they take it away from this line of story and maybe find a new story in the universe where they could be endless story’s to tell. Expand

From start to finish this game was unreal between the graffics to game play was just awesome , when you play as Abby after playing with Ellie and pretty much hating her for what she did to Joel it was very odd feeling that I never experienced in a video game ! 10/10 for me the hate from people who didn’t even play the whole game at the start was very odd ! I had to come on here and put my review on it and hopefully bump that user score up some which I can see already went up a decent amount !

    Il mio gioco preferito

    Mi da fastidio come la gente sia così infantile da non accettare la morte di un personaggio, capisco come sia difficile vedere ucciso il proprio personaggio preferito e poi utilizzare il suo killer, ma la scelta della ND è stata molto coraggiosa, mai fatta prima, e mi è piaciuta.
    La storia di questo gioco è FANTASTICA, è una storia drammatica, è un gioco che riesce a prenderti il cuore e spaccartelo in mille pezzi, per alcuni è un difetto del gioco, ma invece era Lo scopo del gioco ed è stata una scelta fantastica, il gioco varia da momenti molto tristi a momenti dolci ed emozionanti (compleanno di Ellie). Abby è un grandissimo personaggio, è fantastico come il gioco riesce a fartelo odiare a morte, fartelo apprezzare e alla fine fartelo amare. WOW questo gioco è fantastico.

    Just because the story isn’t what *you* wanted it to be, doesn’t make it bad. People die, stuff happens, things don’t go as planned. Not every story gets a satisfying, happy ending. Deal with it. The game is set in a bleak, post apocalyptic world, not a Disney fairy tale.

Specially the stalkers - those feel like a completely different enemy this time around and provide some of the more intense sequences.

    Regarding the story... the game creators have said it best: The first game is about love, the second game is about hate. The first game was sad and violent, and ugly, but it was also heart-warming and beautiful. You see the world through the eyes of a washed-off man who learns to love again.

    This game is the complete opposite. It's designed to make you feel increasingly unease, to the point of regretting your own actions. You start strong and determined, only to get slowly and relentlessly invaded by doubt and quilt. At some point you might even feel that you would rather not carry on the actions that the game requires for the story to progress. In my book, that's a huge accomplishment. I feel that many of the people who criticize the choices they made on the story are missing this point.

    Me... I've never seen anything remotely like this before.

Naughty Dog proves once again that they are one of the best games studios out there by providing us with an emotionally conflicting, nuanced narrative that pushes the limits of what/how games make us feel.

    the last of us part II has the best graphics and set-pieces (without forgeting the physics) for real, looks like real life. the characters modeling its just... surreal.
    now the story, the point that matters the most. the story, in my point of view, its AMAZING. so many things that are in a certain way hidden, left for you to interpret. they had to kill joel, how could he get away with the things he did in the first game? dont get me wrong, i love joel, but your actions have consequences, and thats one of the main masseges that the game send to you. ellie doesnt kill abby in the last moments of the game because she saw joel in her. come on, cant you see it? joel was taking care of ellie, a girl who knew nothinh about the world and aways saw the good inside him.
    abby is taking care of lev, a boy that knows nothing about the world and always see the best in abby! thats the type of plot you have in the game.and you thing ellie or abby got away with everything? they didnt. abby lost ALL of her friends, yara and even the group she was part of. ellie lost her girlfriend and her "son", and her fingers, which means that now she cant play the guittar, the only thing joel left for her.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the beginning you could see that this game was going to be a visual and gameplay masterpiece. Every setting you find yourself in is so detailed, and somehow Naughty Dog has made the end of the world look even more beautiful.

    Gone are the clunky mechanics and occasional glitches of Part 1, and the new upgrade and skill trees are much more fun to play with. Combat is exciting and gory; where you land your shot depends on how the enemy will suffer and it made fighting seem like real combat.

    Whilst the story was the opposite of what I expected I loved it. After the intro it became clear what was going to happen and what this game aimed to deal with, and the parallels in the second half of the game worked really well. It was great to see a story that dealt with consequence, grief and loss.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 give us a new story in the same universe and with some of the same main characters of the first game. It also have a good amount of new ones. The main motivation for this story is a direct consequence of the events that happened on the first TLoU.

    The game play follow much of the first game adding some new movements (as crawl and rope climbing/swinging/jumping) and some new mechanics (as the rope mechanic). Ellie's knife is unbreakable (witch turn things a little bit easier) and the improvements ah more-or-less in a "skill tree" arrangement.

    [SPOILERS AHEAD]

    - About Main Story:

    The mains story is well designed and you can really relate with Ellie's feelings.
    The begging of the game makes us feel the same hate that Ellie feels, as we love Joel as much as she (because of the first game). So you can relate with his anger and the pursuit for revenge.

    As the player advances through game you see a couple of flashbacks that explains the relationship between Joel and Ellie after the ending of the first game. Here are some of the most beautiful scenes of game (maybe both games), like the museum one.

    At the end you will be just like Ellie: hollow. This isn't a game that makes you happy or gives you the satisfaction of the obvious and comfortable ending.

    - About "The Other Side" of Story:

    The other protagonist (or antagonist as you wish), Abby, has strong motivations for her actions and the game tries to show you that.
    Is it really hard to relate and have empathy for her since we had a entire game to learn to love Ellie. Is it really painful to play with Abby after seeing what she done and is specially painful to play with her at the final battle of her campaign.

    There are some characters the are underdeveloped, like the WLF leader , Isaac. I'd love to know a little bit more of his story, but it is understandable that when writing a story you have to make some choices as not every character can have the same "screen time".

    - Footnotes:

    The only thing the really made me disappointed was the lacking of a multiplayer mode. I'd really love to have a multiplayer mode like in the first game. But this was no surprise as Naughty Dog had has already told us that there was not going to be one.

    PS.:
    To the ones that are afraid because the haters speech, the game is great. The story is great. The sexuality of Ellie is just another layer of her personality witch helps to make her feel real (and isn't the main point of the game at all). This is a story about hate and revenge and it accomplishes it's purpose.

The second has lived up to my hopes and expectations - it’s a unique, controversial, violent, beautiful and emotional journey that only Naughty Dog could create.

    The story does a great job showing us Abby's side of the story, I sympathized with her so much that I'm glad Ellie didn't kill her.
    There is so much to say about the amazingly thought out writing and I feel that people who are stuck on hating Abby dont quite understand what the story actually means.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well. I can understand why people are saying that this game sucks. It is because most of us aren't ready to look inside of your ugliness and understand that revenge isn't a good thing, that It'll make you suffer, you'll probably lose everything and, in the end, you'll become a monster. Gamers aren't ready, they're not mature enough to understand such topics, to feel the pain, to understand that there's always two sides of one history and it doesn't matter if the other seems to be the villain... They had their reasons to do it, they have a story behind and they're, above it all, humans with feelings. The tragedy in Abby's life can show us that she had, in her vision, a reason to kill Joel. Joel had a reason to kill Abby's dad, because he saw in Ellie a new chance to protect a daughter since he couldn't do it in TLOU... People are saying this is a bad game because they aren't ready to feel and be true to themselves and be able to understand that Abby is a good person, Ellie is a good person, Joel was a good person, Manny was a good person and even Isaac was a good person, this game is about being alive and fighting for your existence and, in some point of "surviving" you'll forget about being a human. For me, TLOU Part II is a masterpiece, it makes you think about stuff you already did in your life, makes you feel terrible about some choices, makes you evaluate what really matters in the end. Naughty Dog, thank you so so much for this incredible experience. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilliant game. Don't worry about the haters, and if you're still not sure, make sure you're looking at reviews with constructive criticism, and not just hating on Neil or the ending, or the death scene.

    One question you need to ask yourself when playing this game is WHY these characters are making these choices. Ellie and Abbey are completely parallel and mirrored in their choices, except, Abbey is a story of redemption whereas Ellies is of revenge. The pacing of the game at times may be off, i'll agree, and the enemies overall are not as intimidating as before, especially when playing as Abbey, however the story is beautifully crafted and a wonderful tale of revenge, and what it can cost you. A story of love, and how important it is to hang onto it especially in these post apocalyptic times.

    If you don't empathize with Abbey after playing as her for 10+ hours, then i don't blame you, HOWEVER, you have to absolutely see where she's coming from having had her father killed by Joel; a random person she's never met. I'll admit, by the end, i felt so, so strongly for Abbey, more than Ellie, and she quickly became my new favourite character as she was completely fleshed out and complex.

    The game is brutal, and unforgiving, and does not make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, and in fact, will CONSTANTLY disgust you, but that's what it sets out to do.

    For those who hate the ending, again, don't blame you, but it makes total sense. Ellie forgave Joel, someone who in her eyes made an unforgivable choice, so in that moment, she made sure to forgive Abbey, to save her own soul. Realizing that murdering her will bring her nothing, just like how Abbey killing Joel actually made her lose much much more than just her father

    I'm absolutely playing this again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First time writing a review, but I've been in a daze for the past 24 hour since finishing the game, and I don't know what else to do. This game is absolutely incredible. And not because it makes you feel good. Not because it's "fun." But because it moves you, if you let it.

    Story: The storytelling style is very similar to a novel containing viewpoints of not only the protagonist, but also the antagonist. This style allows the reader, or in this case the player, to obtain greater context about the story world, and the overall experience becomes richer for it. Brandon Sanderson's work comes to mind here, as he often devotes large chunks of each book to writing from the perspective of "the bad guy." In a similar style, TLOU2 forces the player to live through the eyes of "the bad guy," Abby. in doing so, you realize that she's more than just a 2-dimensional villain. If you allow yourself to, you'll begin to understand her motivations, and even perhaps respect them. Hell, by the end of it, I really liked Abby. And believe me, when I first started playing through her chapters I was upset and caught off guard. But go along with it; the writers know what they're doing.

    The greatest part about this is that by the end of the game, not only do you get to see Ellie make her game-ending decision about what to do with Abby, but if you've been playing along and paying attention, you will likely have also made that same decision. The writers beautifully succeeded in following one of the age-old rules of writing: show, don't tell. They don't just show you Ellie's internal conflict about whether she should kill Abby. They make you feel that conflict yourself. Well done Naughty Dog, well done.

    Gameplay: As with the first game, the mechanics were spot on and exploring the world was a lot of fun. A mix of stealth and bash-em-up fisticuffs keep things interesting.

    Visuals: Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning.

    Soundtrack: listening to it right now. Gustavo, you are an angel.

    Summary: People have every right to dislike the game, but you should play it before you judge it. I've talked to many people that won't play the game because they don't want to play as Abby. That would be the same as refusing to read a novel because there are chapters from the point-of-view of a character you think you won't like, despite the amount of global context and character development contained within those chapters. Naughty Dog, you all did a phenomenal job, and I'd love to see another game. Whatever you do next, keep up the great work.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, so, people seem to have a problem with processing the idea that any given set of events can have two or more sides to the story, so let's separate the wheat from the chaff here.

    Ellie has a viewpoint. Abby has a viewpoint. YOU CAN ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THIS AND STILL CHOOSE A SIDE. This is *my personal opinion *:

    Yes, **** indeed sucks from Abby's perspective. But guess what? Ellie was honestly too young to be able to make the decision to throw her life away in a permanent choice like this. Joel was right to remove her from this situation because OF COURSE she wants to die in a blaze of glory and save the human race. She is a teenage girl, and how much more romantic a chance can you get?
    But THERE IS A REASON THE AGE OF CONSENT/DRINKING/VOTING IS A BIT HIGHER THAN 14.

    Ellie would have died then and there if the decision was in her hands. But she never would have met Cat, Dina, Jesse, had the years of life in between and beyond the events of TLOU2. I'm willing to bet that, with her current experience, she can look back and agree that she would have made the wrong choice. Joel knew that. He knew she would have chosen to die. He was right to take that choice away from her. She was a child then. She is a woman now. And in the end, Joel knew that he was facing the consequences of his actions in saving Ellie's life. Conversely, Doc Jerry didn't have the right to take that choice away from her, and I'm not sorry he got wasted as a result. Abby can be bitter about it all she wants; her father made the decision to end someone else's life *without asking their opinion first*. So when the tables are turned on him, he should understand that he is facing the consequences of his choice. And someone should have explained that to Abby. No one did, or if they did, they should have realized that *SHE DID NOT HAVE THE EMOTIONAL MATURITY TO DEAL WITH IT*. She clearly needed people around her who could explain this to her in an impartial and fair manner. From what we see of the remaining Fireflies, they shared the despotism and self-righteousness that she had. They felt that they had the right to force their choices on the people around them. Abby got Joel's position forced on her. She had to accept another person murdering someone she loved, without giving him a say in the matter. Joel was not willing to sit back and accept it.
    I'm not saying that Abby should have to go through this either. But she needs to face the fact that her father had done to him what he intended to do to another person-- except that Jerry was willing to murder *a child*.

    My feelings are that Joel did right. Jerry deserves what he gets. Abby and Ellie both need to understand not only the beliefs of the others involved, but also the fact that their actions and intentions devolve onto their children in the most direct way possible. But, for my two cents, in the beginning of the prologue, I threw Abby off a cliff. I should have won the game then and there. I choose Ellie and Joel.

    But in the grand scope of things, there are no fast and easy answers in this situation. AND THAT IS THE ENTIRE POINT. Naughty Dog did a beautiful job of making the player understand that every person has different views and choices. And, in the words of the immortal Andrew Ryan, we all make choices. But in the end, our choices make us.

    Best game I have ever played. The game comes with a great story, stunning graphics and acting so real that I was more then once overwhelmed by all kinds of emotions. I don’t understand why so many people hate on the game. The story is brilliant. People who are complaining about the story must have stopped playing the game too early...

    Um belo jogo, a jogabilidade e a história estão em nota 10 ! Me surpreendeu bastante , a expressão facial dos personagens em alguns momentos é de fazer brilhar os olhos . Minha única preocupação era com o tempo de jogabilidade , e me surpreendeu bastante .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a massive fan of the first part of The Last of Us, I waited eagerly for part two and subsequently for the answers to questions that arose from the first games events.
    This game is a brutal tale of revenge, of rage and sorrow. It was emotionally taxing for me to play at times. I was so invested in the plot and every character, the demons that possessed them and their fight for survival both physically and spiritually. I really enjoyed playing from the perspective of Abby and finding out who she is and her motivations as the catalyst for The Last of Us part 2s whole driving plot ie Ellies revenge. I grew to love her just as I did Ellie. And found myself in the last moments of the gaming wishing no harm to come to either of them. I rooted for her and Lev to find the Fireflies and live happily. For Ellie, Dina and little Potato, I wanted a bright and positive future. I could barely bring myself to control Ellie in the last fight with an emaciated, sun blistered Abby...
    The world of the Last of Us is beautiful and truly immersive. I relished every inch of exploration of a Seattle that has succumbed to Nature all its greenery and wildlife and of course the very nature of the Cordyceps Brain Infection virus.
    The performances from each actor were amazing. They were real as far as I was concerned while playing. The Gameplay itself was fun and challenging and also quite satisfying. I did not willingly kill one dog! (sorry Alice

    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]
