I kinda see why other people may dislike it, because there are so many ways to interept the plot/story and ending. Personally for me it's a must play. Play it and interept it yourself.

    I think it was beautiful. They made you do things you didn't want to and feel things you didn't want to, you were uncomfortable much like you are in life a lot of times but it was perfect. They had to align the sequences the way they did to make you feel like you did. From anger to confusion to empathy to a sense of relief, hope and forgiveness. It was just perfect.

    Bien plus qu'un simple jeu, une expérience à vivre. Un récit fort et des personnages terriblement bien écrit et attachant. Aucun faux pas du début à la fin, les mots son difficile tant le jeu n'est pas descriptible il faut le jouer, le vivre pour le comprendre. Un gros 10 pour un jeu qui mériterait le GOTY. Il marquera tout les joureurs sans aucun doute.

    My real note would be a 8/10 since some commands are mixing up sometime and the scenario deserve to be a bit better on some points. But since some people chose to put their brain on a table and review bombing this game because of some leaks of the scenario while others are just mad on it. I felt like I had to put this note.

    This’s definitely the best ps4 game. So adult topics are raised in this game that it’s simply difficult to imagine this in games. It’s games of such a level as The last of Us (both parts) that make the gaming industry not just an entertainment sphere, but bring it closer to art. The plot will definitely not leave you indifferent. 10 out of 10

    Uma experiência que eu nunca imaginei que teria com um jogo.
    Um jogo com uma história relativamente simples de ser entendida,porém muito complexa emocionalmente.Diferente de muitos jogos nos quais os vilões são apenas maus.O jogo mostra que as duas protagonistas foram vitimas,vilãs e heroínas em algum momento de sua jornada.

    This game is perfect in what Naughty Dog intended it to be: a deep and personal story.

    Many people will feel like the story is inconclusive (and maybe they are right), but if there is a part 3, this game will be remembered as a great sequel. The gameplay retained the formula of the first game, and that is great.

    And for the graphics part... marvelous.

Thankfully, I got the game and realized what a mistake that would have been. I'll never again listen to Bozo's pandering to such an angry demographic. The Last of Us 2 is a fine example of going outside the box and not just sticking to the same formula that made the original such a classic. Ellie's all grown up and you can see how strong her relationship with Joel has gotten throughout the years although, there's a slight discrepancy in the relationship as a nod back to a decision that was made in the first game. All seems well as the characters have been living in a new town and have grown relationships with new characters along the way. There's a change in the story which shifts the focus - Introducing you to a different set of characters which will come as a huge shock to fans of the original, but a closer look shows how valid the motivations of these new characters are while making you question everyone's morals as you come to terms with what life would really be like in such a horrible and unforgiving world.

    Gameplay wise, it's every bit as smooth as you can remember. Even better - you're faced with new creative ways to advance further while fighting (or stealthily avoiding) new versions of the infected along with human characters which seem to have gotten a lot smarter since the original game. The world is a lot bigger, making you want to check every corner of every section in fear of missing something important or just wanting to keep your weapons, ammo and crafting materials fully stocked. Speaking of which, you might want to rethink how to engage certain enemy encounters as the ammo and supplies mentioned is not as easy to obtain as it once was compared to the original game. There's no right way to go about said encounters but keeping your available items in mind can help you make better decisions as one false move can mean your life. Visually, the game is just gorgeous. From the environment you're surrounded by to the enemy animations, so much attention to detail went into it. it's really hard to explain without seeing it for yourself. it's just amazing how much was pulled off graphically, it almost feels next gen. Audio quality is also top notch. there's really nothing I can negatively say about the audio except, the Clicker freaks me out more than it did in the original. *shivers*

    The Last of Us 2 is a Masterpiece. Excellent Storytelling, Visuals, Acting, Music, Sound Design and most importantly, Gameplay. I can't wait to see what Naughty Dog has in store for this franchise moving forward.    … Expand

I will not lie, early on there were parts that were tough to get through. But experiencing such amazingly strong, flawed, and ultimately HUMAN characters made it so worth while. The fact that Naughty Dog made me feel and care so much about certain characters by the end of the game is a testament to their story writing abilities. It is a hard game to stomach at times. But what this game lets you experience, and what it teaches and tells you through the process of playing, make it one of the most impactful games I’ve ever played.

This is hands down one of the most fun games I have ever played. I rarely buy games on launch. But, surprisingly, I paid the 70$ for this game and have enjoyed every single moment of the 30 hours that I got out of it and have consumed much more regarding the game. Joel's death is justified, in the sense that he really did just **** all over humanity in order to save Ellie, and most important of all, Ellie's rampage and suicide mission across America, but without Joel is justified when considering she's got the same **** virus in her head than any of the other infected, but her immune system has somehow overcome this and turned out as we saw in the movie. Come on guys. Her father figure was **** murdered in front of her while she was trying to rebuild their destroyed relationship. What else can you ask for?… Expand

Вдумайтесь,есть люди которые дропнули Её на смерти Джоэла ,да не спорю момент неожиданный и трогательный,но это не вся игра,это не конец.Моё мне мнение может и не изменит оценку,но я выскажусь.
    1.Сюжет 10/10. Настолько ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНОЙ истории я давно не видел,даже не смотря на то ,что нас заставляют играть за убийцу Джоэла ,но с такой классной подачей и мотивацией ,это что то с чем-то. Самая лучшая часть сюжета, это всё таки за Элли. Также самый лучший момент ,это концовка,она тут Лучше и трогательней чем в Первой части.
    2.Графика 10/10. Ну что тут говорить,графика в этой игре это настоящий прорыв в игровой индустрии. Из старушки PS4 Выдавили все соки
    3.Атмосфера 10/10. О да! Как же великолепно выполнена атмосфера Пост-Апокалипсиса,когда даже самый слабый противник(Бегун) Тут предастовляет опасность(На максимальной ложности если что) Когда ты дорожишь каждым патроном в обойме-Это Классно!
    4.Геймплей 10/10. Геймплей по сравнению с первой частью сильно не поменялся,но есть и свои отличия 1.Это Уклонения на L1, теперь стало значительно удобней сражаться с противниками. 2. Это то что можно ползать ,Это довольно удобно в стелсе.

    I would give it an 11 if I could.

    A lot of people said it better than I'm capable of expressing, but TLOU2 is a great achievement of storytelling and gameplay. It clearly is not for everyone, but I say that as a compliment rather than a criticism. Better to fail miserably trying to achieve something great than to make the same old wishy-washy narratives, am I right? The Last of Us    I would give it an 11 if I could.

It clearly is not for everyone, but I say that as a compliment rather than a criticism. Better to fail miserably trying to achieve something great than to make the same old wishy-washy narratives, am I right?

    The Last of Us Part II is a mature story, not because of its violence and themes, but because it demands critical thinking and patience (to listen, to engage, to reflect) from its players. It never gives you short, simple answers, rather putting you in the situation of constantly needing to reexamine the characters' motivations and how do you feel about them. The game is never "trying to make you feel bad for being violent against your will", because the game is not about YOU (try and say that to the average gamer) but about deeply flawed people. These characters are the medium for this hyperbolic tale of revenge, love (yes, love, more than hate), corruption and redemption. It may sound odd to say that TLOU2 is subtle, with its explosive arrows, machetes and face-eaters zombies, but the fact that a lot of players seem to miss is that the game is never telling you how to feel about violence, revenge and the characters' decisions. It presents you with a full panorama and then takes a step back to ask: "How do you feel about this?" Considering how the audience have grown used to expect a moral lesson at the end of every narrative, it is not surprising a lot of people didn't know how to engage with this one.

    I've been playing games for almost 30 years now, and I don't remember another game making me think and feel as much as TLOU2. If Part I is brilliant in its conciseness, Part II is masterful in its (organized) mess. I still need to give it some time to "breathe" before making more decisive statements, but I would not be surprised if it became my favorite game of all times. And for that I can only be thankful for everyone that worked so hard to bring this masterpiece to life.    … Expand

    From a gameplay perspective, the game is butter smooth. Every mechanic and control is well thought out, and serves to foster acting naturally in the game. Menus are unobtrusive, and you don't spend much time at all in them. Combat is incredibly fun, and replayability is made higher by a new game+, as well as being able to solve any encounter in a multitude of different ways.

    Where this game shines the most is the story. The Last of Us's execution of the struggle to retain one's humanity in an utterly inhumane world is perfectly captured in the Last of Us 2. While the setting zombie apocalypse always sounds bleak or brutal, unlike other similarly set stories, TLoU2 excels in showing not only the horror of humanity, but the beauty as well. It celebrating that we can truly make life in any world, and also reminding us the depths of depravity we can fall to when that life is upset. It excels at putting us in the minds and worlds of the characters in a way that no other game ever has. The full story cannot be grasped until it's concluded, and the second playthrough is made so much richer as a result.

    Post apocalyptic Seattle is so incredibly real. seeing one of my favorite cities so incredibly well rendered in a game was fun beyond words. the graphics are of such incredible beauty that I honestly was speechless at points.

    In my estimation, this game is the pinnacle of video game story telling.    … Expand

    No wonder some (many) players have had mixed feelings to put it mildly about this game. This sole fact demonstrates that the game hit right we’re it was aiming.
    So yes, the game is beautiful, DA is splendid (kudo to the soundtrack), the acting is without a doubt the best seen in any game so far, the gameplay (e.g. combat) has been notably improved since Part I and the storytelling remains strong.
    There are also some lengthy parts and several repetitive mechanics that might bother you sometimes. Not all characters are as charismatics as you d hope, but again, neither are we...
    In addition the game (elegantly) tackles sensitive societal topics that will drive some people back, and makes you wonder.
    I was left in awe several times, and at the end, of course. I felt like I have never been closer to play an (exceptional) movie.
    In short, the last of us Part II hit right in the feels. Are you willing to handle it, that for you to answer. Will you enjoy it, or be glad you went on this journey, only playing it will tell.
    In terms of video game experience, TLOU2 will share with FFVII, OoT, MGS, HL2, TLOU1, MGSV, BotW the mighty shelf of titles that made video games and players grow.    … Expand

People claim to want 3-dimensional characters--but if that's the case, we have to accept 3-dimensional narratives as well. They claim to want games with adult stories, that go in unexpected directions. I thought I wanted that as well, but TLOU Part II forced me to reckon with that. I realized a part of me expected redemption, almost required it, and I didn't want to pay for it. Not really pay.

    Well, here it is: an adult story, with flawed characters, that takes the game and genre in an unexpected direction, that forces you to think and reckon with your actions. A game that isn't "fun" in its climactic boss battles. A game with characters make choices that we understand are wrong, and suffer consequences that are in hindsight inevitable. This is disruptive, and depressing, and unique in the entirety of games. It will be talked about, and argued about, and sets the template for all "dark" games, anti-heroes, and revenge stories to follow.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best game i have ever played. This is next level storyline with deep consequences all over.
    If you dont get why Abby did the what she did, and the same for Ellie, you probably fit in the category of people who thinks Joel is a hero and Abby is the bad guy.
    There are no good guys at all, people die for nothing, people seek for vengeance, they only try to protect their own and those who they love.
    So, this is a game for mature people, definitely. The violence is extremely graphic, the tension around is always high and I love how the game shows us a different perspective from the first game.
    It is heartbreaking watching the conversation between Ellie and Joel the night before he died.
    The same way it is heartbreaking to see that killing Joel only brought more killing to Abbys life.
    This is the The Last of Us Part II goal: show you how things can look different, depending on which side you are, depending on what you believe, depending on what made you since the apocalypse began.
    The goal is to be heartbreaking, in every way, for everyone. Because this is the world of The Last of Us.
    And I dont even need to start to talk about graphics, sound effects, fights, cities, the whole thing.
    I have waited 7 eyers for this game and it was worth it.
    It is amazing to see how a company like Naughty Dog can take storylines and the whole videogame experience to places that most entertainement products could never achieve.

    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]
