    I'm a huge fan of the first game, and part 2 is simply amazing and surpasses the first chapter in every possible way.

    NaughtyDog's trademark storytelling reaches new highs in this title, and despite the plot itself being pretty trivial (as it was in the first game), the way it's told and the way it's acted is not short of amazing.

    I just wanted to respond to all the people review bombing the game, I understand you didn't get the story you wanted. But it wasn't your story to tell in the first place. You're just a passenger. And giving a 0 to a technical/acting masterpiece just because you didn't get what you wanted is just plain stupid, be at least honest with yourself.

    Furthermore the first game lived in a morally grey area from the get go. If you ever thought Joel and Ellie were "good guys" you clearly have no idea what TLOU1 was about, and I kinda feel sorry for you.

    Also sexuality and woke themes aren't pushed in the slightest during the game so whoever still bring that up clearly have not played the game and just hopped on some hate bandwagon for the sake of being a miserable sad human being.

    I enjoyed every second of this game, even tho it's not a "fun" game, it's a game that pushes you to understand complex feeling, feeling you are forced to embrace even if you didn't want to, but that are never gratuitous or out of context. It's a mature game, and clearly there are a lot of gamers out there that do not have such maturity to even grasp the basic elements of it.

    This game is also not perfect and I would have liked a couple gameplay additions like a way to recall the horse or an attack from above tomb raider style.

    In the end I would give it a solid 9. But I will give it a 10 to make up for the embarrassment the hateful and ignorant part of the gaming community has brought to the table.    … Expand

This is a game that's supposed to make you feel empty after playing. The visuals in this game are extremely realistic, from the facial expressions to the beautiful lighting. This game is a spectacle to behold. The gameplay is definitely better than its predecessor, and it's always a blast to engage different enemies through many different methods, from up close and personal to sneaking your way through the various situations. The voice acting is very superb, with everybody delivering great performances. Even though the story was very misleading via promotional material, I still really liked the narrative of the game. The game really plays with your emotions and really embraces the idea of points of view. The way it was executed was phenomenal. It makes actions you enjoyed making earlier in the game take a full 180. Overall, a great experience and a must play for all fans.… Expand

I expect this will be my game of the year and may even be second most memorable game of the generation behind RDR2. It did something no game has ever done, the character switch half way through made me so mad I thought I was going to quit. After not long I liked Abby and was back on board. This was not like MGS2 like many are comparing it to, Raiden played much differently. After the first fewer hours on the ship that game nver won me back.

    My only complaints are that I felt like some of the traveling in Seattle was dragged out for too long and the disconnection between Abby and the WLF felt rushed. I cannot understand these low user scores, there's no way they played this incredible game.    … Expand

This is one of the best games that i have had the pleasure to play in this generation,The gameplay is top notch and requires the utmost focus,flanking the enemy while trying to waste as less bullets as possible either by using stealth or by being a good shot, the AI is smart and doesn't automatically know your location like in 99% of other videogames, which makes the experience much,much more realistic and the gameplay very enjoyable and satisfying,Now The story has been misunderstood by many people,The games message was never revenge, it was forgiveness. When Ellie is drowning Abby she flashes to a memory of Joel and she spares Abby. We find out later that memory was of her learning to forgive Joel for what he did. She didn't kill Abby because revenge is bad, but because she realized she has to learn forgive Abby for what she's done. Both Abby and Ellie learn this but by they time they realize this they both lose almost everything they love because of the selfish choices they made. Ellie's choices even mirror Joel's. At the end of the first game Joel makes a selfish choice that damages his relationship with Ellie, and at the end of this game Ellie makes a selfish choice that damages her relationship with Dina. Stuff like this makes me appreciate the game even more. To me this game has far surpassed its predecessor and i hope tlou3 delivers well. P.S i can't stop thinking about TLOU2.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game's a masterclass in just deserts as a concept.

    Just play it.

    My main issues with the game is that you start over half way through it, and have to level up an entirely different character from nothing. It would've been easier if the game had cut between these two characters at different story points, but I understand why they didn't. For this reason, the game's pacing drags a bit but otherwise it's a perfect game. I'd have gived it a 9 in reality but until the metacritic score balances out I'll give it a 10.

    You already know the game's graphics and gameplay are good so lets talk story. Here's my points that disagree with most of the concerns here. Spoilers below:

    The game is incredibly self aware of the fact that it's a game. It knows you dislike Abby, and gives you more than one opportunity to watch her die a brutal, horrific death. It turns the death mechanic you try to avoid into a sick and twisted revenge mechanic. It's fitting that you face off against an incredibly terrifying and overpowered boss as Abby yet Tommy and Ellie are far more challenging opponents. You can survive your first encounter with the big boss but you won't survive your first encounter with Ellie.

    People don't feel like the game has the same level of chemistry that made the first game magic--and are upset that they didn't 'like' Dina. The game doesn't want you to like Dina, in fact it goes out of it's way to make you only care about one thing: revenge for Joel. Dina is the only thing Ellie has and her life takes a backseat to killing every single one of Abby's friends with the goal of killing Abby. Even playing as Abby, watching her story--you still want Abby to die. That one good deed saving Lev doesn't matter if you don't get your just deserts.

    The end of the game comes to a close with the most heroic thing you've ever done in either game--you free an entire colony of slaves to overtake their oppressors and you don't care at all. You're just there to kill Abby. Just deserts. You find her hanging from a crucifix starved and beaten after months as a slave. When she finally has her beaten and bruised beyond recognition, leaving her in worse shape than Ellie was left at the end of the first fight, she let's her go. She had to learn to forgive this woman, and she realizes in that moment she has put the fear of god in this woman. It's harrowing.

    The comparisons of the game's story akin to The Last Jedi are way overblown. In The Last Jedi, the characters from the previous trilogy are left behind, barely respected and make decisions that are completely out of character. Luke Skywalker is turned into a joke. The Last of Us 2 respects it's characters and puts them in believable situations. You get plenty of time with the characters from the first game acting as you'd expect. There is a cause and effect for every decision they make, and the game makes sense.

    It's hard to watch people who have legitimate criticisms of the game thrown in with antisemitic, homophobic and racist dialogue, even if you truly hated the story I'd find it hard to take seriously a review under 5 or 6.

    Play the game, see it for yourself.    … Expand

    I loved the story! Don't listen to the hate, the game mechanics were perfect, story was captivating about what humans do in desperate situations. It makes you think about whether or not vengeance is really worth it in the end.

    A game that shakes you out of the confort of games built to please everyone. A game that makes you question the action you are doing with the buttons on your controller. A game that makes violence not "fun" but more so something you wish you could find an exit from. Also best faces and acting in the game, by far. Masterpiece!

This is easily a top 3 if not the best game you can ever play to date. it sure is a MASTERPIECE! i heard a lot of people disappointed how the ending transpire in fact i myself as well its the reason why i completed this game later rather than sooner. But when i played and completed it personally, I felt that everything is just right and not just trying to avoid clichés for the sake of making it new and fresh instead it felt natural. I know a lot of people hate Abi but i actually love her character and i also understand why they made her buff. I love that they retain the gameplay mechanics of part 1 that made it so unique and engaging, the graphics is so beautiful and realistic, the map and everything felt so natural and engaging. I love its added dual sense feature, and realistic weapon sound and animation. Everything in this game is well thought out and you know that a lot of hard work has put in to making this game. The characters are engaging, and the story well... its not perfect but it is what it is. What i mean is... the storyline itself is predictable but they still manage to make it new and fresh and avoid cliches. I bet as the game gets older, more and more new people will learn to realize that this game is hella masterpiece!

    I absolutely loved the first one. And I also quite liked the second one, but not as much. I know because I'm not as compelled to play it 4 more times. HOWEVER, from an objective point of view, I think it's on the exact same level as the first (with added ambition and literary techniques like symbolism and motifs). Very minor pacing issues in the middle, but it accomplishes what it aims to do PERFECTLY. And for that, I personally think it is very easily a 10.

    It has low ratings here I think because people didn't like what happened. Plain and simple. Whereas critics are critiquing the game itself, not projecting their own desires, hence the MASSIVE divide on this site. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, just depends on why you, as the consumer, buy games in the first place. It was well worth my money. Though it may very well may be a waste of yours.

    P.S. Was there false advertising? Yes. Does that detract from the artistic work? Of course not. It detracts from reliability of the marketing department.    … Expand

TLOU2 arrive magnifiquement bien à rendre ce personnage attachant, et ce final, où le joueur est forcé de prendre partie est vraiment émouvant et éprouvant psychologiquement.

    2/ TLOU2 est l'un des plus beaux jeu de la génération, et rivalise, voir surpasse RDR2 par endroits, notamment grâce à son rendu de la lumière faisant presque office de Ray tracing avant l'heure.

    3/ N'en déplaise beaucoup de monde, le scénario est très bon, mais il y a certaines facilités scenartiques. Pourquoi Tommy et Ellie sont pardonnée ? On ne sait pas. Mais au fur et à mesure que l'on avance on se rend compte de toutes les thématiques et nuances que le jeu nous transmet.

    4/ TLOU2 aborde beaucoup de thématique. Que ça soit la vengeance, le pardon, les conséquences, la violence, la cruauté, la rédemption, c'est un jeu qui va vous prendre au tripes émotionnellement.

    5/ Comme attendu, l'immersion est totale dans cet univers post-apocalyptique très convainquant.

    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.
