It was the most emotionally crushing and visceral reaction I’ve ever experienced in the medium and, although it has some flaws, is certainly a masterpiece with which developers have admirably taken narrative risks. It is a riveting tale which inspires discussion and interpretation as it challenges the player to contemplate on character decisions and to empathize with different perspectives. As such, it is understandably divisive (as great Art often is). I thoroughly recommend The Last of Us Part II.… Expand

    The plot predictable and bad as hell. The Gameplay is boring and it there is nothing new, like in 2010: you clearing the map than watching cutscene. And I have nothing against LGBT, this fact isn’t annoying. Graphics good. I’m very disappointed.

    Waited a long time for this game didn't expect a force fed lesson in gender and political correctness. Theres enough of that in day to day life without you massaging your pc egos.

The other thing is, being a writer myself; I understand making a story of everything in between grief, love, and an unpredictable world that we live in.

The thing is I’d love this if it were presented as a complex indie film (MAYBE). But it’s a game that one would spend HUNDREDS of hours on to escape, learn, and have fun. Not hundreds of hours playing as people the users have no respect for, have hatred towards, with an ending that contradicts themes and choices. It’s a game that makes you think but maybe too hard with no payoff. It’s like life but I want entertainment. I’m just bored and angry. Which I already was during a pandemic.

Which by the way was a colossal waste of time. Thumbs down NaughtyDog. … Expand

The gameplay is the best, it maintains what is already known in the first part and adds new things such as being able to jump and handle ropes, fighting against the waves whether infected or not, make us stay on the edge of stealth. The story shocked me, like anyone else, but something that people must understand is that this game is not about Joel, but Ellie, and that is made clear to us from the beginning. By putting ourselves in the perspective of "the bad guys" they make us understand that every act of revenge brings us to the same starting point, without knowing who is good or bad. I like to think that the objective of the director of this game was to put an end to this story, because the same thing would always be repeated but with new characters, it is here where it is worth mentioning the phrase "die being a hero or live long enough to become the villain".… Expand

    One of the main reasons why its dissapointing was how sony and naughty dog overhyped the game to make people dissapointed easily becauae they have been waiting for seven years

To begin on a positive, the game play, animation, voice acting and virtually every element of game design within this game were absolutely flawless & like nothing I’ve seen in a game before, for that alone the game is worth playing. However, the games major issues are in its story & script writing. To say it’s weak is being generous. There were glaring plot holes & poor choices in writing throughout the games entirety. The game turned the dark, bitter sweet emotion of the first game, which centres on the father / daughter like relationship between Ellie and Joel ( that I personally consider to be one of the best written narratives of all time) & flushed it down the toilet within the first couple hours of the game, turning it into a social justice push, that thematically didn’t fit with the setting. (Not that I have any issues with social issues being present in games, just that it feels forced & unnatural) Outside of this, the games timeline is constantly jumping back and forth over a number of years, with no continuity, making it unnecessarily complicated & taking away from the immersion in the primary story arch. This also deters you from going out of your way to explore & gather materials to upgrade your arsenal, as the upgrades and weapons you gather don’t travers across time with you, making them for the most part relatively pointless. (Incredibly frustrating discovering a new weapon, to not have it accessible in your next gunfight because you’re at a different point in time) The game sets up smaller, somewhat interesting plot lines, that lead absolutely nowhere & have no resolution, which was painfully irritating, particularly after taking the time to find & read notes, that you have to go well out of your way to find, for them to lead to nothing. The characters motivations are just plain and simply ridiculous, they chop and change between their moral and ethical standpoints & it’s honestly just frustrating to play. The end game is incredibly underwhelming & leaves much to be desired, with no more conclusion than you have about 4 hours prior to the end. By all means play the game & discover the issues for yourself. There are some amazing moments to be had, but overall the fantastic game design, that I & many others have waited 7 years to relive, was dragged down by a lacklustre narrative that was derivative & without any clear direction; that after roughly 30 hours of game play has left me with my hands on my face asking “why?” & “what was the point?” Incredibly disappointed & frustrated.… Expand

    Everyone is just mad they had to question their precious ellie, joel and tommy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start on a positive note, The Last Of Us Part II is a technical masterpiece. From Graphics to sound, lighting, level design, music and art direction, every technical aspect of this game is absolutely stunning and the developers at Naughty Dog have once again raised the benchmark for what other developers strive to achieve.

    I've sat on my feelings about this game for some time after completing it as I wanted to digest just how conflicted I originally felt once the credits rolled. I admire the bold choices made for the story and liked the fact that it didn't strive to simply replicate beats from the first game, however, I didn't find many moments that were as profound or meaningful to the abundance that the first game achieved. The closest that comes to this, sadly, are the flashback sequences between Joel and Ellie. The one and only moment that really stuck with me was the space module sequence in the museum.

    I think I've boiled the issues I had down to two major issues. The direction of its structure/pacing and character development.

    I thoroughly enjoyed Dina and Ellie's earlier interaction in the game and there was a certain warmth to her chemistry with Ellie. There are several moments, however, where a new character started to grow on me and was immediately ripped away far too soon. Just as we start to connect with Jesse, he is swiftly taken away without any sense of impact to Ellie or Dina throughout the later game. I understand that it is supposed to reflect the bleakness of that world, but I lacked any lasting emotion because I hadn't spent long enough with him, nor did his death seem to really impact the other characters around him later down the line. I also didn't ever really connect with the extended WLF crew because of the clunky back and forth structure in which it chose to tell its story.

    With regards to the structure, I felt as though the game missed a great opportunity to explore Abby's character in a way that would allow us to sympathise with her prior to her act of revenge. I would have liked to have seen her interact with Joel more after having been saved by him, hesitant and conflicted about her quest for revenge. Allow the tension to build as we as the audience learn about her reasons through flashback while simultaneously playing her in the present, wondering whether or not she will make that final decision as she spends more time with Joel and Ellie. I feel this would have been a great first half of the game and then once she finally succumbs to exacting her revenge, then we take over as Ellie and head to Seattle in the second half (accompanied by the same Joel and Ellie flashbacks, but this time towards the end of the story).

    I ultimately found the length of the game to be too long for the message it was trying to convey. I'm sure the intention was to make us feel as exhausted and emotionally drained about life in this world, but I didn't need 25 hours to get there. It feels as though the game is aiming for a very niche audience because on one end of the spectrum, you have people who are somewhat close-minded and outright refuse to peel back the curtain of Abby's character.

    On the other hand, you have people who are open to Abby's motivations from the very beginning. I myself felt zero hatred towards her actions and only sadness during the entire scene. I immediately thought, 'I'm sure she had her reasons,' given Joel's darker past during the apocalypse. The only issue I could see is that because of the extent of her brutality, she almost becomes irredeemable for the audience from the onset, but it was interesting to observe her cope with the other side of revenge (paralleled with Ellie's story leading up to revenge). What you have left is an audience of people who are open, but somehow aren’t already aware that the world isn't full of heroes and villains, that everyone is in a morally grey area, that revenge is a costly and unrewarding act and that there are two sides to every story. I just don't think it shines as much new light as it thinks it does on these themes. The first game's story was never anything new, but what made it a masterpiece was the relationship and complexity of its characters. I loved Joel not in spite of, but because of his flaws. His decision and motivations felt earned and honest. While the emotional trauma of his death had a significant impact on Ellie, I found her journey for revenge almost too blind to be believable and so rather than flaws, I saw them as a lack of intelligence that was already established in the first game.

    Whether I would tread back into it as often as I did the first game, I don't know... Even though it didn't completely stick the landing for me, it did open an interesting discussion amongst fans and I’m glad to have experienced it.    … Expand

The new Druckmann led crew at ND clearly has hijacked the game to push a social justice agenda.

The new Druckmann led crew at ND clearly has hijacked the game to push a social justice agenda. This is bad on its own as its essentially a form of propaganda eroding the genuine artistry of the medium.

    The real shame is that they lost the skill in crafting a good plot or telling a compelling story. This is a very common outcome in propaganda driven "art". ND delivered a boring, unpleasant experience and ruined one of the greatest gaming IPs. If only Amy Hennig was still in charge.

    The majority of game is filled up with plot holes. It’s characters, their decisions and therefore the overall story feels extremely forced. Somewhere in this mess was potential for a great story, but unfortunately it is bogged down by unnecessary side plots and baffling character choices.

    Unfortunately, the graphics are not enough to save this game from itself. There is hardly any improvement in game play (not a noticeable generational leap), the AI sucks and enemies are reused often and most of the game is walking doing nothing. The game play loop just gets straight up boring.

    You are dropped into linear levels with roaming enemies that are very dumb. Early on in the game you are treated to a wide open area that feels more free roam, but its an illusion that doesn't last long and is not repeated.

    This game killed the first part in a very disrespectful way. Terrible story, with characters which remind me of some hipster emotional low budget drama movie.

    I really don't get how all those reviewers brought this game up to a 95. The most overrated game this generation. The "critic" reviews are either fake or the reviewers are too fearful for their jobs to say how generic the game-play is and how terribly the story and characters are written. It is like a snuff film disguised as Oscar bait.

    I literally hated playing the game. A story driven game with a terrible story is terminal. Given the technical polish of the game it could be argued that the game deserves a higher rating. However since I hated every second of playing this game, the only way to give it a higher rating is to say that torturing yourself with a game (a device meant for passing free time) is somehow a good thing (if it serves some kind of nebulous artistic or higher purpose). This is nonsense.

Sad excuse of a game the title isn't what the game is its isn't the last of us part 2 having to kill off the characters you fell in love with in the first game seem more than pointless should of made a separate game set in the same universe would of been a lot better if you wanted new characters the story is riddle with plot holes and over used tropes happy its over and wont be replaying returning it tomorrow not worth my money… Expand

Very strong game with moral gray setting, classic game-play mechanics from previous part but with better AI of enemies, some moments was boring with repetitive kills of enemies especially when I started to play for Abby after Ellie's story, but some moments was like a bolt from the blue, in the good way! Now Abby is my favorite character on this game of those who left alive.… Expand

    Next level woke disaster. Pandering and political correctness ruined the perfect formula. Avoid at all cost. Characters are blend and..., well charactless. Story is artificial. Naughty dog should be sued for false advertising and misconception.

From dense forests, to the beautiful snowcapped mountains of Wyoming, this game is beautiful every step of the way. Story wise however, is another story. After seeing the most beloved character of our series get beaten with a golf club, and then playing as the character who killed him doesnt sit right with many. Parts of the game feel long and dragged out. Overall, if you truly love the story of the Last of Us. Dont waste your money.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So upon beating this game I can already say I can see why so many people are disappointed, I was also pretty disappointed, so I'll go over the good then the bad. And I would not reccomend the game to anyone tbh especially fans of the first this was sad to come back to after 7 years I'd rather go back and play the first game 10 more times than play this games ng+

    So for one positive about the game is of course the graphics and the soundtrack and personally that was really the extent of what made it good, because I will tell you that if the 1st game had these graphics this game would be literal garbage. And now for the bad which there is plenty of wrong with this game like the factthat the false advertisement that players would see more ellie and Joel which is just wrong and you can call it protecting the story but the reality is that half of the people would most likely not buy the game if they didnt see Joel or ellie together, and that was so wrong on his part and personally I feel that we deserve a redo or a dlc but they claimed no dlc, another problem is that they kill Joel off at the very start of the game which was very disappointing rather than sad at the moment I was just mad that ellie didnt just walk in and shoot instead she walk up and gets rustled to the ground, and then watched Joel get beaten with a golf club which is very distasteful, it's like they felt like they needed to kill Joel off for something to happen they could've killed dina off to start the revenge plot that was forced into your brain a million times, and then Joel showing up where Jesse does would've been a true trailer and people would've been more happy, then you can see Joel and ellie trying to reconnect but acting distant due to what happened in the past and you can find out about dina through flashbacks and then Jesse wouldve had more of a reason to go since it was his ex, but then they decided to make you play as abby and try to see her side which killed the game for me I wanted to quit playing right there but I gave it a chance and it didnt get better the only good thing that happened was yara and levs part felt pretty interesting and that was about it, and the cut from ellie getting a gun pointed at her to seeing a flashback was horrible honestly idk what you were thinking, then you make us fight ellie? Like idc if ellie is bad and abby is good I'm connected with Joel and ellie not abby so I dont want to fight her at all, so during my playthrough I stood there and let her kill me to see maybe it will change something but nope, you basically beat ellie to a pulp and wouldve slit dinas throat if level wasnt there to stop her she is such an unlikable character who feels no rebound to her actions, then ellie spares her after murdering hundreds of people for what, even though at that point i lost all interest in the game and didnt even feel like killing her anymore I just wanted this trainwreck to be over already, not to mention they basically want you to hate ellie for killing people even though half of them were self defense or provocation, but this wasnt a last of us game as far as I'm concerned and I definitely dont want a part 3 unless they are going to have Joel and ellie rather than abby and lev, and one other thing is that the characters that were new were completely bland and forgetful we didnt feel a connection between any of them Jesse was just forgotten when he died dina leaves and is never seen again it felt like she was there just to show ellie still likes girls and to keep her from getting to Joel quicker, and every charcter onabbys side sucked honestly, and characters acted completely different idc what Neil says Joel was a smuggler for years he wouldn't let his guard down and the fact that abby knew his whole name and she could tell it was him and where he was from was complete bs, she never saw Joel or ellie, or Tommy, she only heard his first name and nothing else so it seems impossible to track him and immediately know this random guy who just saved you is the Joel that killed your dad, it had so many plot holes it felt rushed even though u had 7 years that's sad but aging it doesnt deserve a 10 or a 0 review it wasnt the worst game but you have high expectations due to the trailers and since it is called the last of us, so I'm being generous giving a 6 ,,t,tt    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rating this a 1 or a 10 is disingenuous. The truth lies somewhere in between. The gameplay, visuals, and sound are all top notch. TLOU II is not a terrible game, but its story (a huge selling point in Naughty Dog games) is underwhelming and, for many people, upsetting. This huge catch bumps TLOU II down to just average. Pacing issues mean the story drags and leaves the player hanging on for something else of substance to happen. The death of the previous game's primary protagonist so early in the game sours what could be a genuinely interesting narrative twist for a video game. Plot points that should be at the end of the game are at the beginning. The game jumps timelines a lot and introduces many new characters, at a steady clip, which may leave some people trying to untangle who is who. In the end, TLOU II is neither as good or bad as some would have you believe. It rests somewhere in the middle. I'd give it a recommend if you value gameplay over story, but if you value story you're better off waiting for this on sale.… Expand

    First off, I’ll start by saying that the gameplay and immersion are amazing. However, for a game as linear as LOU2, the story really makes a difference, and that’s where this game miserably fails. The story is a mess, and the writers are trying to be clever, when they clearly aren’t.

    Story: 0

    Overall Experience: 5/10 (because story is 50% contributor to the overall experience)

    The story seems like someone had all the pages of the masterfully written story and had accidentally dropped the pages in the wind and never knew how to put them back in order again, as the pages had no numbers. So they made the game story based on the randomly shuffled pages. Firstly, why the hell did they have to kill Joel? I know at the end of the day its “their” character and story, so they can do whatever they like. But, why? How could they possibly think it was a good idea to kill the most lovable character at the beginning of the game in such a brutally unfair manner? Especially right after he saved that stupid girl’s life from imminent death? Thats an intentional trauma the writers exposed all the fans to. At that point, I was so traumatized as though someone had murdered a real person that I knew in front of me. The only reason why I reluctantly continued playing was to make sure that the stupid murderous **** gets ripped to shreds by the time I get to her. It would have at least served justice, even though it would never bring back Joel again.

    How foolish was I...

    They actually make you play the character you want to kill in the worse way possible and force feed you sugar and candy, hoping to make you care?????? WTF?! I absolutely hated every second of it. I did not want to play her at all. Isn't making you forcefully play something that makes you unhappy and uncomfortable practically mind rape?

    I dont care if she was as innocent as mother tressa... she killed someone I loved. All I care about now is to make sure that she dies in the worst way humanly possible!

    But no. They don’t even give you that least amount of satisfaction. They make YOU hurt the last remaining character you care about without any other choices and then expect you to applaud when out beloved character randomly decides to let her live (WITHOUT US HAVING ANY CHOICE IN IT)?!?

    What was the point of this?

    It might as well have been a film, since the player has no control over any of the main events in the game. It seems that the game played us and we paid for it with our time, money and broken hearts.    … Expand

I really enjoyed this game, and even though it’s not perfect and some of the choices leave you scratching your head at times, I think that in the end, it all pays off in an impactful way. If I have to compare it to the first game, the gameplay in Part 2 is far superior then the first. Its fun, heart-pounding, and challenging throughout. Story-wise, the first game is a tighter narrative that is very focused on the relationship between Joel and Ellie and how even in the darkness of the world they live in, there is still light to be found. Part two is a natural transition because of the actions of Joel in the first game. Part 2 is about the pain of loss and how hatred consumes people; how two sides of an issue can find themselves to be both victims and offenders. How an eye for an eye begets more violence. It’s a tough and uncomfortable story, but that’s the point. Narratively, both of the Last of Us games are one larger story that makes sense as a whole. There are things that I think could have been done to tighten the story up and make it more compelling, but to me, what was done works, and it’s definitely a title I’m planning on playing again.… Expand

    Secondly, this story wants to express humanity against Joel's behavior in part 1, but cannot really see any humanity at all.

    TLOU2 is a great game, is it a perfect game, no but still great. The biggest problem is that it feels like this game should have been TLOU3 this would have been an golden opportunity to make the events that take place in this game so much more impactful.

    Para todo lo que se espero del juego y todo lo que se decia termino siendo horrible la verdad encuentro que el juego comparado con el anterior es una mierda, no se define de otra manera que no sea una mierda de juego

    An amazing work by Naughty dog, Better gameplay than the first game, and the history... Nowadays when everything is fan service and stories told under the same formula, we should be grateful for the existence of games like this one, where despite having the path made to succeed, this is ART

A mi principalmente no me parece un mal juego, recordemos que no existe la perfeccion, Naughty Dogs hizo un gran trabajo a la hora de desarrollar el the last of us ll, la verdad la gente no se toma el tiempo de apreciar el gran esfuerzo que se tomo Naughty Dogs a la hora de hacer el juego, a muchos, para no decir todos, nos dolio la muerte de joel, y principalmente empezamos a odiar a la empresa por eso, pero quiero que se peguen a la realidad, al mundo en el que vivimos, nadie muere heroicamente en nuestro mundo y son las pocas veces que en la alguien muere así, este juego principalmente se enfoca en dejarnos bastantes enseñansas y nos deja muchos sentimientos, aun que para la historia de abby que toma alrededor de 3 o 4 horas de juego yo tengo 2 opciones, una que la hallan puesto desde el inicio del juego o dos que no la hallan puesto, a mi particularmente este juego me dejo 2 enseñanzas, una que hay que aprovechar el tiempo que tenemos con nuestros seres queridos, por que no sabemos hasta los vamos a tener y la segunda es que la venganza es un hueco negro dentro del alma lo cual hace que la mata y la envenena… Expand

    The most important thing about this game is the story, and it is terrible, also the script, the plot and the end is very bad and this is not a The last of us, The landscapes and graphics are good

    it must be mandatory to link the account of the platform we play, to guarantee a true opinion. The game is spectacular, excellent graphics, everything has been improved, the story is excellent, just keep an open mind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vorweg; Ich schreibe auf deutsch weil es mir einfacher fällt mich richtig auszudrücken.

    Spoilerwarnung!

    Dieses Game beginnt mit einer nachvollziehbaren Geschichte und tötet dabei leider einen Protagonisten der extenziell für die Geschichte war, aber gehen wir erstmal die Punkte durch:

    Grafik: Auf einem 4K Fernseher mit HDR sieht die Grafik sehr schön aus und scharf.
    Die Grafik hebt sich nur dezent von dem Vorgänger ab, stört aber wegen visueller Neuerungen: Bluteffekte, Animationen niemals.
    9/10

    Musik: Die Musik ist hervorragend und passt in jedem emotionalen Moment und ist einer der größten Stärken des Spiels. 10/10

    Gameplay: Es spielt sich sehr wie der erste Teil, wirkt manchmal beim Erkunden und looten etwas entschleunigt durch die Dreh-Animation aber es läuft sehr flüssig ab.
    Die Level sind abwechslungsreich und die Gegner gut positioniert.

    Es ist eine Spirale aus sammeln und schleichen oder je nachdem ein Deckungsshooter.
    Gewisse Gebiete wechseln bewusst durch die Situation zwischen schleichen und dem unausweichlichen Schussgefechten/Nahkampf Gefechten ab das lockert das Gameplay immer wieder mal auf. 8/10

    Story: Der Grund warum dieses Spiel kein Meisterwerk geworden ist, das Spielt lebt von seiner Geschichte, im ersten Teil war es die Vater Tochter Beziehung die nach und nach entstand und nachvollziehbar war.
    Jetzt war großangekündigt das Thema Rache und daran scheitert die gesamte Story.

    DIe Story ist in 2 teilen aufgeteilt Ellie die Rache für Joel will und Ihre Antagonistin Abby die Ihre Rache schon bekommen hat und mit der Konsequenz leben muss.
    Während man sich als Ellie durch Gegnerhorden metzelt versucht alles im anderen Blickwinkel, dem von Abby, einem ein schlechtes Gewissen machen und das so offensichtlich das es fast schon peinlich ist.
    Beispiel: Bereits im Hauptgebäude der Wolfs sind man erstmal einen kompletten KIndergarten dessen Väter größtenteil wahrscheinlich von Ellie getötet worden sind.
    Das ist nicht subtil so das man wirklich darüber nachdenkt sondern es wird einem ins Gesicht gepresst.

    DIna und Ellie haben eine Beziehung die relativ niedlich erzählt wird, aber wenn beide sich auf dem Weg nach Rache auf einem Pferd die ganze Zeit nur Stichelleien zuwerfen wirkt das eher kontraproduktiv um die Geschichte ernst zu halten.
    Zumal ernsthaft Jesse ist cool aber wie soll man da nicht an Glenn aus the Walking Dead denken und der Vergleich zu Walking Dead kommt einem noch öfters in den Sinn.
    Dadurch wirken Abbys Dialoge mit Ihren Freunden seriöser und teilweise echt sympatisch, wo man sich aber denkt warum will man mir jemand anderen als die Protagonistin schmackhaft machen?

    Irgendwann kommt es zum Höhepunkt wo beide aufeinander treffen, der Kampf wird komischerweise aus Abbys SIcht geführt und statt das, das zum Höhepunkt der Story wird,nein geht es unentschieden aus und das Spiel wird einfach unötig in die Länge gestreckt.

    Zumal man Ellie und Dina sieht, glücklich auf ner kleinen Farm wovon sie gesprochen haben, man hätte da Schluss machen können obwohl es etwas zu perfekt ist für die Prämise der Apokalypse wäre, trz besser als was danach folgt.

    Jesse ist tot, Abbys Freunde allesamt auch, Tommy ist von seinen Wunden beinträchtigt. Ellie hat in Seatlle über 100 Personen umgebracht.

    Tommy taucht in dem Familienglück auf und motiviert Ellie dazu Abby weiter zu verfolgen. Ellie die immer wieder Flashbacks von Joels Tod hat macht sich dann auf den Weg und verlässt Frau und Kind um schon wieder nach Abby zu suchen.

    Ernsthaft? Jetzt mal ohne Scheiss die Schreiber wussten wahrscheinlich selbst nicht wohin, aber das ist unglaublich schlecht und kaum nachvollziehbar.

    Abby reisst mit Ihrem Ziehsohn durch die Lande und sucht die Fireflys um das Ziel ihres toten Freundes zu erreichen.

    Findet Sie sogar wird aber durch eine Bikergang gefangen genommen.

    Ellie findet tatsächlich Ihre Fährte und wird fast ebnso wie Abby von der Bikergang gefangen genommen und wird dabei schwer verwundet, deziemiert trotzdem einen großen Teil der Gang und findet Abby.

    Sie hilft Ihr und kurz bevor sie entkommen, will Ellie trotz ihrer Verwundung sie bekämpfen diesmal hat Sie die Oberhand und ertränkt sie fast. Im Kampf verliert Sie 2 Ihrer FInger.
    Sie kommt zur Besinnung und lässt Abby dann plötzlich doch laufen.
    Sie reist nach Hause zu Ihrer Farm, die allerdings leer ist weil Dina und Ihr Kind gegangen sind.
    Ellie geht in Ihrem Raum und spielt ein letztes mal auf der Gitarre von Joel, doch durch den Verlust Ihrer Finger klappt dies nicht so gut.
    Man sieht als letzte die Gitarre und Ellie wie sie die Farm verlässt. Das ist doch ein Witz, wenn man zeigen wollen würde wie sinnlos Rache ist hätte man das viel früher enden lassen können oder Sie Abby wirklich töten lassen aber dies war weder traurig noch sinvoll 4/10 Fazit: Nicht benötigtes Sequel    … Expand

The game ran but Jesus the glitches at some points...plus gameplay was somewhat repetitive. 10 hours as a character that was thrown at us after murdering the main protagonist just ugh, why... and what was the goal with Abby? Her segment could've been so much quicker but it dragged on and on... I will treasure the 1st Last of Us but this one is going back to the store asap...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only one thing that was poorly made is the way the game tries to attach you, the gamer, to the character of Abby. I think they could've done a better job on showing her as a good character, so that the gamer could feel more empathy to her. But everything other than that is perfect or almost perfect, so I can't give this game something lower than 10/10.… Expand

    What a huge disappointment. This franchise is beyond destroyed, it’s very sad.

    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]
