    I'll go with a nineand honestly I haven't played the game. I trust that naughty dog has done good work because I haven't ever played a bad naughty dog game. I just wanted to say ah sh*t the xbox players are back, boasting their teraflops.

    Es una obra maestra, no solo por sus gráficos, si no también por lo bien logrados que estan sus personajes y su historia, entiendo que a mucha gente le desagrade uno que otro personaje, pero a mi me pareció impresionante lo bien trabajados que están.

    Everything is great. Sometimes some of the jumping seems a little clunky to me, then again there aren't many games that get it spot on and this is very minor and nitpicky. The visuals are fantastic, the game play is brilliant, combat can provide some very memorable self made moments and the story is compelling and harrowing.

Certainly not for those who want a light-hearted story, but if you are mature and can handle the darker aspects of life in an apocalyptic world then there is definitely something for you here. Shame it's getting so heavily review bombed because it has unparalleled diversity, an accurate depiction of human society in difficult times as well as truly heart breaking moments that aren't there to make you happy, but to force the questions for you to ask yourself. Much like the ending of the first game, could you and would you have done the same, would you continue or end a brutal cycle of violence? Life isn't always sunshine and lolly pops people. Brilliant game, one of the most accessable games off all time, and one of naughty dogs finest to date.… Expand

The game is brutal, truthful, and i could see how it could make you feel very uncomfortable as a straight white dude. I want to rate a 9.5 because the game does feel like an extension of the first game, I can’t decide if this is a bad thing or not. It is true killing Joel sucked, I screamed at the TV. “No wtf” I actually did this a few times, I couldn’t set it down. I am Joel, I’d have done everything Joel did, he lives on in me. This is a story about hate and ugliness. Ellie loses EVERYTHING, she can even play guitar at the end. It’s true it’s not the story I wanted, that doesn’t make it a bad story. Being me, I don’t even want to see Ellie kiss someone, she’s like a child to me. How is it even possible that a video game can make me feel like that. Great work ND.… Expand

If the first was about losing and then finding yourself in love, this one is about finding and losing yourself in hate. A bittersweet story of a spiral of revenge that goes on and on, losing it's own motives on the way. Nothing is written in black and white, all characters are gray: clearly developers wanted us to feel like someone's antagonist, and that's the core. Enemies scream for their loved ones who you just murdered and we start to question if we're right. Beautifuly done in my opinion, that's the kind of story we keep thinking about later. In a world full of games we choose how the plot goes it's wonderful how in this one not having a choice is a narrative choice wich tells a lot about the characters.

    Later in game we play as another character that's not Ellie. Very courageous choice from Naughty Dog, and though I loved this character I think most of people who will dislike the game will come from here. The only downside of the game in my opinion it's that sometimes this part seems like a fetch quest: go here, go there. Everytime you go here or there something important does happen, but I think the wandering in this part could be a little shorter. And that's the only reason it's not a perfect ten for me, the rest is absolutely amazing.

    Beautiful graphics, amazing gameplay. Environments are stunning, from huge open areas to narrow and dangerous passages, from destroyed cities with collapsed builinds to small abandoned towns. Two new kinds of infected and a huge improvement in AI. Different groups of enemies behave different to you. In my first run it took me almost 23 hours to finish in the easiest difficult. For a linear game, that's a huge story arc.

    Most people who are giving bad reviews didn't even play the damn game. Most say something about the trans character and the muscular lady. They are different characters, so from here you can say a lot about what's happening.

    Don't be fooled by anyone, the game is awesome. Not a perfect ten for me, but something like a 9.8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played through the game in about 20 hours, and I must say, this is a masterpiece to me. Apart from some pacing issues in the story, everything was an amazing experience. The gameplay is a mayor upgrade from the first game, but still has the core of that game, so if you didn't like that gameplay then you probably won't enjoy the gameplay of the second game. The visuals are the best I've ever seen on PS4 and I couldn't stop using the photo mode every two seconds. The sound design is ofcourse also beautiful and makes the atmosphere even more immersive. The story also took a very different path than the first game. Most people don't like way Joel's death was handled and the character Abby. I'm actually fine with the way Joel's death was done and his choices don't seem unrealistic to me. The different perspectives you play through during the story also make a lot of sense and show more of the theme of no clear bad guys or good guys. I liked Abby's character and playing as her also showed the "good" side of her. People are also unhappy with the ending but I really think it makes sense. At the last moment Ellie comes to the realization of the cost of revenge and because of that she let's Abby go. That was her only way of finding peace with Joel's death and she realizes that. It has the same feeling as the first games ending and made me even more emotional. Overall, this is a game I would definitely recommend. It is definitely not a game for everyone though. The story takes a way different route and certainly for fans with specific expectations, this may not be an enjoyable experience for them. Next to that, reading the leaks afterwards, I understand why the game would seem very bad. But most of the narrative has been left out in that, and I think people really need to have played this game/watched the ENTIRE playthrough (not just a couple hours) to form a good opinion. Most people are basing their opinions on Joel's death and the fact you play as Abby for 40% of the game, but I think that's unjustified. And even if it had a garbage story, I'd actually still buy it because the gameplay, visuals and scenery are still **** amazing. But with this great revenge story with it, it's a 10/10 for me. (And yes, 10/10 doesn't mean it has zero flaws. But this is definitely my game of the year and it may even be one of my favourite games of all time, so it deserves a 10.)… Expand

    As for my review itself:

    Gameplay is smooth and visceral, though places more focus on appearing cinematic than feeling responsive in the way other action-oriented games are. The most impressive aspects are the incredibly lifelike and fluid animations, and the enemy AI which is deep and extremely believable. The multitude of difficulty options are a great assistance in tuning the game to a setting you enjoy. I found that I loved stealthier sections, but was put off by straight-up fights that would result in immersion-breaking deaths and trial-and-error gameplay. I was very pleased to find that there are different difficulty settings for stealth, combat, and resource gathering that can all be adjusted individually.

    The presentation is phenomenal as usual for a Naughty Dog game. The graphics are just as impressive as they appear in the trailers, and the music (though often subdued, lying in the background) is very appropriate and shines through when it needs to.

    Clearly the most contentious and important aspect is the story itself. Director Neil Druckmann stated long before release that while The Last of Us was about love, the sequel would be about hate. This is an extremely accurate summation of the themes and tone of this game: it is incredibly bleak and upsetting. To create a game that intentionally inflicts emotional pain and discomfort on players is a tricky balancing act: push the tragedy and frustration too far and you risk alienating players who just want to have fun or indulge in some escapism. The story of The Last of Us Part II clearly doesn't sit right with many players for this reason, though I think many people are too quick to condemn games that confront them with unfortunate realities or uncomfortable situations. This game deliberately forces its players to engage in actions and gameplay segments that they will want no part of in order to drive home its core message. These parts of the game are meant to make you feel bad. The main characters of this game make a lot of terrible decisions, and this has upset a lot of players who believe they know the characters better than the writers do. It is important to understand that none of us who live modern lives and can afford the time to complain about videogames on the internet have the faintest understanding of what it's like to grow up in the kind of world portrayed in this franchise.

    This drama confronts players with some of the darkest, most vile depths of human behavior, and as a result, it is not a fun story to be a part of. If you play this game and feel frustrated that things don't go the way you want them to, then the story is working as intended. It is a portrayal of the futility of revenge, and is clearly meant to leave you feeling empty and exhausted. I have personally never been emotionally affected by a game as much as I have been by this one.    … Expand

The game doesn’t force anything down your throat or anything close to that, it’s just part of the story in the game and there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game and enjoyed all segments, the fact that this game is getting review bombed is really bizzare as it gives one of the best single player experiences to date. I completed the game in just over 24 hours and can’t wait to get back in and do it all again in new game plus. The game in my opinion does a good job in terms of story as it attempts to show both sides of a story even if they know most are going to be in favor of the lead characters from the first game instead of the new antagonist/ protagonist depending on how you want to view them. Whilst I can say Ellie’s segments were tense and fun there was also an equal amount of player satisfaction when playing as Abby as some of the set pieces you explore with her can prove to be better than Ellie’s in some cases. For Abby there were many moments that enjoyable with my favorite scene being in her portion of the game even though I prefer Ellie as a character, this scene being the ground zero area of the hospital where you encounter the most terrifying infected to date. I’d say my only complaints with the game is that there is no real reward for completing it and finding all artifacts, entries, workbenches, safes etc other than points you can spend on concept art and character models when I feel as if it would have benefited from an unlock to look forward to such as a special weapon, outfits (which were present in the first game but removed here) or a cutscene to add complete closure on what I assume is the last we will see of our characters after the ending was still a bit open ended with it being unclear if Ellie returns to Jackson, where Abby went, Tommy’s reaction to hearing what Ellie did and many other things which I hope we find out either through media or possible dlc. All in all I believe the game is a faithful sequel that stays true to its roots whilst adding new mechanics that added enjoyment to my play through, I grew to like new characters and hate others only to have my initial opinions dissipate (in a good way) and I hope we see future dlc or a new game in the series at some point in the future. 9/10 solid game and thoroughly enjoyed.… Expand

PLUS: if they really hated the message/development/Studio/Protagonist of this game they should do nothing at all! Reviewing the game SO unrealistically fast and negatively doesn’t send any message but a petty contrary whine. Their whiny action draws MORE attention to the game, increasing its profile and tendency to pop up at the top of various review sites. Essentially they’re just drawing more curious attention which only increases the number of eyes looking at a game that they would rather nobody see. You’re not gonna find support, ya butthurts!… Expand

I think it’s a great secret from the last of us part one and I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me but that’s my opinion. And I know how they killed off Joel wasn’t the best but really. Naughty dog did what they wanted to do this is their game after all. I played the last of us part one a few months ago before this came out. And I wasn’t expecting much from the sacral and that’s all you had to go into this if you haven’t played it yet you can’t expect much this is a secret after all I went into this just hoping for the best and I got what I wanted it was a good game to my heart.

    Played the game 10 h so far. It's one of best looking and detailed games on the current console generation. I'm astound of the details they put in. And yes the strikes on YouTube are a sign of bad behavior but on my side the game is way underrated. (I'm not a native English speaker)

While playing it I would go to bed and wake up at random intervals thinking what’s gonna happen? I was genuinely scared for these characters, knowing this world. Knowing that there’s a real chance they aren’t getting out of this alive. It didn’t pull its punches and in the end it showed me something about life that I had a hard time coming to terms with. Nothing has held my attention so viscerally before and I am not sure something will ever come close as Last of Us part 2 did. Great game. Great acting. Great time.… Expand

    Now I pre ordered the deluxe edition (matter of fact i cant get a return for that) and i was so anxious about playing it but...

    - Graphics were ok, from the 2017 trailer to the last product, there is a downgrade, ok i didnt care that much. God of War look much way better
    - Gameplay was poor, the same moves, the same was to fight, no evolution after all.
    - Sound was marvelous, dont argue with that
    - History and plot: this is the big dowsizing about the game, not even waited more than 2 hours, and Joel is dead... i mean wtf, he was the hero of the game, i wanted to know more about Jackson, how was the live there, how they can analyze Ellie for getting a cure, i dont know but she went to a cruzade, killing all living and dead just to get Joels murdered and forgive her....WTF thats just stupid come on. A horrible plot, no evolution on the game...why is that a zombie game anymore

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's easy to respect what Naughty Dog was aiming for with the storyline. It's bold, ambitious and complex, but the hard truth is that the new characters don't resonate as they were meant to. They lack the easy chemistry that Joel and Ellie had in the first game, and until the very, very end, Abby's fate meant little to me.
    However, I would still recommend the game. Hands down. Reviews of anything lower than a 5/10 absolutely astonish me. The gameplay is incredible. The graphics are incredible. The relationship development between Ellie and Joel cut to the core, echoing the most effective elements of the first game. Ellie's mourning process is devastating and complex, consistently justifying Joel's death as a narrative choice. In fact, all of these factors are so well done that giving it anything less than an 8/10 just feels wrong.
    It's not a masterpiece in the same way that the original was, but it's challenging and at the very least, thought-provoking. There are moments to fall in love with and moments to hate, but I think anyone who has played it should at least have enough respect to recognize that the 3.7/10 rating (as it stands right now) is absurd.    … Expand

    As someone who considers the first game a masterpiece and one of, if not my all time favorite game, The Last of Us 2 has earned its place alongside the first in my mind. Even if I give the second one point lower than the first. Where this game fumbles is nothing compared to how it made me feel when the credits rolled. I loved it.

The game is beautiful, artificial intelligence is very well done, the environment is dynamic and each match can be finished in many different ways. In a gaming environment it is very good. The story leaves you on the edge of the seat, but there is a moment in the story that represents almost 8 hours of gameplay that feels forced. It had a merciful ending and, in my opinion, it is not as memorable as the first game, but it is still an unforgettable experience and, like all works, is always flawed. What I didn't like was that they delved a lot into the antagonist's story and moved away from the main focus, which was Ellie's revenge. Abby's character feels forced and Joel's death was predictable. My score as a frequent player of naughty dog ​​games is 97.

Además el hecho de ir acompañado continuamente generan diálogos absurdos y vacíos que lo único que consiguen es desvirtuar la trama, desvirtuar a Ellie y desvirtuar esa ardua venganza.

And this is a very graphically advanced game, with believable animation. The exploration was actually interesting and rewarding for those who like to search for extra items and stories. There was a point, however, where the story changes drastically and my work felt like it’s reward was delayed. The supposed LGBT agenda is not pushed whatsoever and only mentioned briefly.

A revenge story that has Ellie question her choices and review her loyallity to joel. Using unconventional methods of gameplay to get across that theres not heroes or villans here, just a 19 year old girl struggling to understand. Anyone that says the game panders to the LGBT crowd is, quite frankly, a brain dead moron. I doubt Neil Patrick Harris likes to cave in a german shepards skull with a pickaxe.

    There are few experiences in life that stick with you for a long time after you've passed them. Out of those, only a handful affect you on such a deep level, that your outlook on life is changed forever. The Last of Us Part 2 is one of those experiences.

    This is a game that has been controversial since its release, I am sure that many who play it will be angered, saddened and    There are few experiences in life that stick with you for a long time after you've passed them. Out of those, only a handful affect you on such a deep level, that your outlook on life is changed forever. The Last of Us Part 2 is one of those experiences.

    This is a game that has been controversial since its release, I am sure that many who play it will be angered, saddened and understandably frustrated. I sure was, however, this is not a usual story. Part 2 definitely took some risks, but I wholeheartedly believe that everything has a reason, and it definitely pays off in the end. This is a story centered around both the characters and several important lessons in morality and philosophy. The way I saw it, the events in the first game blend perfectly into this one. They are two sides of the same coin. Love and Hate, Hope and Despair, Salvation and destruction.

    The gameplay and visuals are spectacular, there were many moments that I enjoyed because of this. It gave me the chance to take a lot of good pictures. The controls and gameplay are the same as The Last of Us 1, with tons of accessibility options that I appreciated. I think TLoU2 sets a new bar for expectations in the gaming industry. You can tell that a large group of passionate developers worked hard to bring us a story that will stay with us for a long time. Having said this, I also think some people will not like the choices in the story.

    **SPOILERS FROM HERE**

    I think that Abby was a very well written character with strong and justifiable motivations. Her journey in the beginning of the game to get revenge on Joel is perfectly reflected on Ellie's journey to hunt her down. They are both fueled by grief they believe will only be cured once they accomplish their goal. No matter how much pain they cause to the people around them. Jesse, Dina, Tommy, Manny, Mel, Owen. They all were dragged into a battle between two unstoppable and determined forces of destruction. Playing the game from Abby's point of view is not a cheap way to make the players sympathize with her, it shows us how anyone can go through pain. Her journey with Lev somehow reflects how as anyone will go to far lengths for revenge, they will do the same thing for love.

    This is the main lesson of The Last of Us 2, there are no protagonists or villains in real life. Everyone is trying to live their life the best way they can. I applaud this game for taking this path, giving us a depressing but thoughtful ending that hopefully provides a great example for storytelling in the future. I think anyone should give The Last of Us Part 2 a playthrough and form their own conclusion, for me it is one of the best games of the generation.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game yesterday. Now, I'm not one to blindly follow a dev or artist just because I like their past stuff. Bethesda used to be my favorite dev of all time, but after Fallout 4 being okay, 76 being trash and their handling of Elder Scrolls, I can't stand them. This game does not make me feel the same way. After playing the game, watching another playthrough and beginning to go back through it again, I like the story. Yes, it's bleak. Yes, it's a cautionary tale about revenge. No, it doesn't go how any of us wanted it to, and honestly that's why I like it.

    I've always been one for narratives like this, that don't have a happy ending or... really an ending that is satisfying at all for the sake of making a point. Those have always resonated with me. I feel it mirrors the first game in the sense that all of it was, technically, for nothing. When Ellie makes it back to the farmhouse, Dina is gone, and she can't play Joel's song anymore, it represents her losing everything that she was fighting for in the first place. It's a cautionary tale with a tragic ending, and I find myself drawn to those types of stories consistently throughout my life.

    I was in the same camp as everyone else when we first transitioned to playing as Abby. I hated her, I hated the way the story was going, and I just wanted to be Ellie again and kill her. After a while... I still hated her, but I understood her. I never LIKED Abby for a second, but I was aware of her motivations and reasoning for how she is and why she's doing what she's doing, and that's more important than liking her from a storytelling perspective. I respect this game for taking a risk like this, much like MGS2, instead of relying on fanservice or a safe route. That will always get points from me. But, again, these complaints are completely valid and I acknowledge that I am in a minority of people that LIKE the plot.

    TL;DR: I like the storytelling and plot of the game, I'd give it overall a 9/10, and I acknowledge that the criticisms of the games are valid, I just don't necessarily agree with all of them.    … Expand

    The best game for PS4. Thank you Naughty Dog for create this great game. The history is crude but it's a possible reality, for nice and peaceful histories view Disney+.

    Truly an amazing game! With a realistic and thoughtful story, this game is a great follow up to the first game. The graphics and the attention to detail makes the world seem real once again. A well thought out game.

I read the leaks and went into this hating Abby, yet being forced to play as her, she completely subverted my expectations and the more I knew what was going to happen to her friends, the sadder I was. These are fully realised characters and the game explores the difficulty in revenge, In war and in humanity. I was glad at the ending. Buy this game and really absorb it before you make any judgements.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was a ride worth taking:) I will say that it doesn’t quite reach the 10/10 it rightfully deserved, and that is due part to some story issues I had. Specifically, I loved how they dealt with the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie, but it felt wrong to kill Joel off so fast. I understand it now after completing it, and I can feel what they were trying to do, which did impact me, but still those first couple of hours after Joel’s death left a weird taste in my mouth, which eventually left after they started using shifting perspectives throughout, where by the end of it I felt conflicted when I had to fight her. Either way I do find the review bombing strange, as whilst voicing your distaste for the story is fair, blatantly throwing hate at the game without completing it, on top of instantly not acknowledging the craft that went into the gameplay, story, environment and character development. (Although all subjective so idek I enjoyed it and that’s all I can vouch for)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una historia sumamente atrapante y e de decir que bastante ácida ,recomiendo jugarla al poder brindar una mirada bastante madura de la ética y moral en un mundo bastante individualista .
    Debo de mencionar que me siento complacido con la mayoría de deciciones tomadas salvo una problemática que siento ,es demaciado drama ,una cosa mala tras la otra le succeden a ellie y abby ,entiendo que sea el ciclo de odio pero llega un punto en el cual es casi desgastante sentir tantas emociones negativas .Menciono si acides por quedó si no tienes un buen día o una semana buena ,dios está nuevo te destroza emocionalmente .
    La segunda cuestión mala que siento es que abby tiene para un juego propio y siento que si historia salvo el principio como el final pero durante 4 o 6 horas la historia vuelca más al contexto de Seattle que ala situación de abby como ellie ,está bien ! Pero siento que es para un DLC y no historia principal .
    Si no fuera esté una parte 2 tal vez lo admitiría pero es una parte dos según el título .
    La tercera y última es que los grandes cambios se dan en las primeras 6 horas,para despues sentir que incluso ellie quiere parar ,cosa que se confirma con el final ,donde ella siempre quiso parar y siento como si la historia la obligará a ser así .
    La última cosa que si bien no es malo es que los diseños finales de Ellie,Tommy ,Dina,Abby Son sumamente más llamativos que los que se nos presenta en la mayoría de la campaña .
    En especial Ellie que se nota más madura y seguramente ya en el final cuando vuelve a su hogar abandonado por Dina está debe de estár rondando 21 o 22 años .
    GAMEPLAY
    En este apartado an mejorado muchísimo ,noto como se pulió bastante este juego hasta su último punto ,considero que puede tener una jugabilidad que rivalizar con dishonored 1 y eso es un gran avance .
    Cinemáticas ,sonido ,musica ,ambientación ,gráficos como siempre insuperables .
    Si diera una descripción final diría .
    Se acuerdan cuando el profesor nos pedía 3 hojas de tarea y el matado del salón traía 10 ,pues este es el caso ,El juego tiene lo que pedimos en esas 3 hojas (los flashback y campaña principal de ellie y abby en su final )pero el resto de 6 hojas no están mal pero podrían haber estado mejor para otro trabajo (un DLC )o para otra temática aparte (spin off)
    .
    Sin más que decir espero que la parte 3 si es igual de larga ,sepa hacerlo de lo que se pide en una parte 3 y de ser así que la historia sea igual de emotiva pero porfavor ,un poco menos ácida .
    Un juego que debes de jugar si quieres presenciar los gráficos futuros así como una narrativa buena pero e de advertir que bastante pesada .
    Si eres fan del primero y de verdad lo compre diste ,es un 10 pero acabarás enojado con ellie .
    Si eres casual probablemente te saque de onda hará un 7
    A si que considero que está vez lo mejor es la mitad .
    Será de mis juegos favoritos por acontecimientos personales que los relaciono con la vida jodida de Ellie ,pero que sea uno de mis favoritos no tiene que quitar mi objetividad ,el juego es un 8 de referencia y cada quien sabe si lo baja a 7 o lo sube a 10.

    I felt angry, sad, and mad. The exact emotions Ellie felt, and what pushed her forward. The writers wanted the player to experience those emotions as well, and I must say they succeeded. Even though I don't agree with how the story went, but I accept it since it's true to the world of ''TLOU''

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did not expect that Naughty dog would actually go there. I loved the atmosphere as always. The rainy, grungy feeling that Seattle has, together with Pearl Jam and Mark Lanegan songs, really did set the tone for me. I really liked the first half of the game. The second half of the game was the part that I liked the least since I really dislike Abby as a character. I never really cared about her past or motives. The fact that she did what she did to Joel made her automatically an enemy to my eyes. I really like how she suffered up to the very last minute. Also some deaths are extremely satisfying in chapter 3 and 4. Everyone that hasn't played it should definitely do so. Especially if you have played the first one. Do not pay attention to the noise. Naughty dog handled some issues very nicely and with respect. I disliked the fact that we play as Abby for quite a big part of the game, but I understand what the writers tried to do and I don't hate it.… Expand

    Naughty Dog has up the ante on the narrative aspects of what video games can achieve in this medium. The graphics and environmental effects push the boundaries of the PS4, I could only imagine what this could look like on the PS5. There are some sequences in this game that rival box office films and enormously entertaining

    Bottom line, this game is a masterpiece. I would give this a 10,    Naughty Dog has up the ante on the narrative aspects of what video games can achieve in this medium.

    Bottom line, this game is a masterpiece. I would give this a 10, but I feel the combat mechanics could have been improved and enhanced in this installment. I would have liked to have seen a new melee combat style for Ellie, considering her/size strength clearly did not match many of her foes in a 1:1 fight, which broke the suspension of disbelief. There are also a few overly drawn-out exposition and backstory sequences that could have been a bit tighter and slow the game's pace.

    If you are looking for a story-driven game with complex characters and scenarios, and don't mind a lot of covert, strategic combat, this is the game for you. If you want a standard shoot em up, 1-dimensional, mindless shooter, stick to COD or the thousands of other games that fit that genre. Most importantly, if you are homophobic, anti-semitic, or generally hate anything that challenges your hegemonic masculinity, particularly on who should be a protagonist and who shouldn't, you should probably sit this one out, bruh. Your fragile ego is gonna break.    … Expand

    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]
