    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The technical aspects of the gameplay, mechanics and graphics of TLOU2 are fantastic, and just like I had hoped. I love the scale and versatility of the level design in the combat encounters, and how you are able to use it to your advantage.

    10/10

    In terms of storytelling, this game is all over the place. I like the overall plot, but the execution could (should) have been better, especially after what Naughty Dog did whit TLOU1.
    Part 2 is in desperate need of editing, where length, phasing and momentum all leave room for improvement.
    The game is too long. TLOU1 proved that you don’t need a 20+ hour game to tell a captivating story, and develop great characters you fall in love with. This issue could however be mitigate with better phasing and momentum. There were tons of emotional moments, both in-game and in cut scenes, that made me feel everything from happiness to rage and loss. But there were also big sections of the game, where I felt frustrated by the downtime, and just wanted the next story-beat or more enemies to fight. It is here the level design becomes a double-edged sword.
    When there is no one to fight or no puzzle to figure solve, the levels turn into big empty places where you walk around searching for scraps, ammo and pills, to make sure you are prepared for your next encounter. Even though Naughty Dog has made an amazing and beautiful world full of small details, this does become tedious after a while, when you are traveling through the world alone.
    This breaks the phasing of the game, and takes away the focus from the story, which I through multiple playthroughs of TLOU1 never struggled with. In TLOU1 you are always experiencing the game, either through dialogue, puzzles or a cut scene/transition that throws you into a new scenario.
    Maybe this becomes less of an issue on a second playthrough, but for now, it is one of my biggest negatives. If you experience the same thing, I recommend turning on enhanced listening to scan for items. This helps, without becoming a solution.
    One of my favorite elements of both TLOU games is the in game dialogue between you and you companion. This could have been a solution for these sections, as it is the case for the Downtown level of Seattle Day 1, where Ellie and Dina are riding around joking and talking about what they see. The same goes for when you as Abby are making your way through the city with Lev, and they talk about the The Seraphites and why Lev and Yara are on the run. These are some of my favorite character development and world building moments, the same way how Joel says he has been on both sides of the ambush in TLOU1.
    Another way Naughty Dog could have trimmed the game down is when you take over as Abby. It killed the momentum for me, because it felt like I was starting a new game. Even though it doesn’t make sense for you to upgrade Ellie’s abilities, I understand why it is there, as it gives the player a sense of progression. It is however 100% unnecessary when you play as Abby, a character who has trained for years to become a perfect killing machine. It feels like padding, and could have streamlined the story if you didn’t have to start from scratch. My solution to the Seattle levels with Abby is to give us a few skills to upgrade, and cut those chapters by 30%.

    6/10

    Even though I miss a lot of Ellie’s personality from the first game, I get that she has grown, both in age and through life. There are a lot of characters to love and (love to) hate in this game, often even the same character simultaneously. The story does a good job of fleshing out the main characters motivations, and it made me both and hate and empathies with their acts and decisions.
    The death of Joel made me hate Abby (as I was supposed to), but I did not get mad at the game, because I expected that the story would explain her actions, as it did. I like Abby as a character, and I liked playing as her.
    I can easily imagine a full game where you play as a girl, whose father is about to save humanity, but is needlessly murdered by a madman, who acts out of selfishness. (Ellie even tells Joel that he did the wrong thing. He even knows this himself, which is why he lied about it at the end of TLOU1)
    It is the reason why the games is called TLOU Part 2.

    Whenever I hear people talk about negatives about TLOU1, they often mention the David fight, which is also my biggest negative about that game. But they did it again, only in an even more grotesquely annoying way. The showdown between Abby and Ellie in the theater is the only part of the game I hate, and I am not looking forward to play it again. It is luckily only one out of many scenes that are full of sweetness, love, heartbreak, horror and action, my favorite being the museum with Joel and Ellie.
    The set pieces are impressive and really good at creating the right atmosphere the levels/chapters need to support the story.

    Final score 8.5/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel like this game betrays the essence of the first last of us game wherein it was all about Joel and Ellie and how they would be able to survive the "apocalypse". This game completely screws over that narrative and turns it into a revenge plot that doesn't make sense. If we were to look back on the first 7 minutes of the original game, we can get a gist of what Joel's character is like when he left a family walking on the street in order to put his family first and the rest of the game was basically that Joel fighting to put his new family first. With this in mind, the scene leading up to Joel's death is disappointing to say the least. As it completely betrays Joel in the first game. Joel being the skeptic he was. Aside from the huge plot holes this game leaves. The game is also dull considering that this game was supposed to be about a zombie apocalypse and not a soap opera. To put it simply the game should be central to the apocalypse and not the revenge plot. If they wanted to put a revenge plot then it would be better if they had put it as a secondary plot point rather than the primary one. Because again this is a zombie apocalypse game.
    The ending was also atrocious. This game is like kill bill if Beatrix Kiddo didn't kill bill. The ending would have been better if Abby was killed off in the end considering that Ellie already killed lots of people to get to her. I mean you have a lot of classic revenge movies and they always kill off the antagonist so then what reason do you not kill off Abby here. It's not as if they were like best friends once or some other dumb reason. Abby was by all means a character that everyone already hates considering that she killed and tortured Joel. Even when naughty dog where to make the player play as Abby to make them sympathize with her, the hatred is still there considering the player played the first game and spent most of their time playing as Joel and thinking like Joel and at the same time sympathizing with his decisions.
    In any case this doesn't feel like a survival game anymore but just another zombie series that gets too political once they can't think of any another direction to take the series. Visuals are great gameplay wise it's good but a bit clunky sometimes and story is just the worse so that pretty much sums up the score and for the critics saying that is a masterpiece then I can honestly say they are right it's a masterpiece of every **** idea that came into a video game. The essence of video games is the fun that comes into it you basically take the fun out and it's not a video game anymore. This game is basically a boring movie that is at least 25 hours long.    … Expand

    I finished this game last night on Survivor difficulty at about 28hr. It is spectacular and deserves to be considered a Masterpiece.

It is spectacular and deserves to be considered a Masterpiece. So, I avoided the spoiler leak until I finished the game, but finally googled it to see what all the fuss was about. Reading what it was, I ended up laughing my a** off. To keep it vague and spoiler-free, the leak spoils a scene that happens very early in the game, informs you that you will play as another character besides Ellie, makes a claim/prediction that DOES NOT happen, and exposes very lightly of the theme of the story. Cheers to all the people that hate a 11hr story in cutscenes because of a very early-game scene. It is fair to say if you hate it, it is simply because you did NOT play it.

    Anyway, rant over. Let us actually review the game. I do not want to include too many details because it is a wonderful experience and should not be spoiled. The story is amazing, and to be completely honest I felt more closure with The Last of Us now than I did 7 years ago. Just play the game and see for yourself.

    Now for the gameplay, it is perhaps the most realistic and immersive video game I ever played. It is as detailed and visually beautiful as RDR2 or perhaps even better. I believe it is a huge step-up from the first one. It definitely adds a lot more variety, just the ability to prone alone adds a whole new experience to the game with abilities to hide better, crawl in long grass, crawl under tight spaces, shooting/throwing on your side/back, etc. Some of the level-designs for encounters are perhaps some of the best stealth playgrounds I have seen to date. To avoid spoiling the surprise, I would vaguely explain them based on my experiences. In any given encounter, you choose how you want to approach the situation whether it is stealth or guns n blazing. The AI is pretty aware and intelligent (on survivor mode at least), and their patrols are not so straightforward. They even look around in a very realistic manor rather than an AI that never checks over their own shoulder. Going back to list some examples of the playground: you can prone in long grass, cause distractions by throwing bottles/bricks or shatter glass on vehicles/buildings, place trap mines to bait enemies on your trail, lure runners/clickers into humans, climb structures to get the higher ground, swim in water to stealth through, etc… you get the point. There are some areas you even can prone in shallow water, not many games especially FPS games contain such a feature, you literally get to swim in 1ft deep water. You can obviously use it to your advantage to sneak around even more. The purpose of this list is to demonstrate just how much of a variety each encounter delivers. I died a lot on Survivor mode, and let me tell you, many of my last checkpoints played out so differently because of all the factors this game has. Overall, one can argue that the stealth may not be as in-depth compared to franchises such as Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, but it is definitely in the conversation.

    My favorite part of the game is easily the executions. I played 28+ hr and I still see new executions, you get a handful of different melee weapons, and can use them all in different actions to see other animations: sprinting and meleeing, sneaking and meleeing, dodging and meleeing, each one has a different animation-execution for each weapon…Bonkers! What also makes the game so fantastic is how beautiful it plays in its unscripted moments. TLoU2 perhaps has a few scripted areas, which are pretty intense. But the real beauty is during your encounters, watch any given clip on YouTube and you will be asking yourself if that sequence of actions were scripted or not. I cannot tell you how many times I was left in awe because of it.

    Story: 10/10 (Emotional, dark, heavy, story with a fantastic theme)

    Detail: 10/10 (I do not even know where to begin, blood tracking from your shoes after stepping in a puddle of blood, realistic character animations when navigating unscripted areas, you can even shine your flashlight in your companion’s face and they squint + look away. It is incredible detail)

    Level-Design/Environments: 10/10 (Exploring areas can take you 5-45 min depending how you choose to play, creative enemy encounters)

    Puzzles: 6/10 (Nothing challenging but some had me thinking for a few minutes, they do not compare to Uncharted/Tomb Raider/Zelda/etc puzzles. Mainly all revolve using a rope with some critical thinking)

    Audio: 10/10 (Amazing soundtrack, realistic atmospheric sounds)

    Replayability: 5/10 (Once you finish story mode on hardest difficulty and 100% there is nothing left to do for most players)

    It is a shame for all the hate Naughty Dog is receiving for this game. Please finish the whole game first to see the whole story, and then rate it. The game is broken up in flashbacks throughout, seeing 2hr out of a 20+ hr does nobody justice.    … Expand

The gameplay is very average in today's modern gaming generation. There are minor improvements from the first game and enemy AI is dumb as ever. There are more cut scenes and walking than actual gameplay.they destroyed all of your favorite characters. They dumb down Joel's character on purpose to make him weak and stupid. In the first game he was very smart and had a ton of experience. He didn't even trust a guy that was sick on the road. He chose to run him over. Later we find out that stranger on the road was not sick and it was all a set up. They do everything to make you dislike Joel and continue to spit on him. They have a trans female/male shoot him in the leg and torture him with a golf club right in the first 2 hours of the game. They spit on him literally. They made Ellie unlikable and a selfish human being. She kills everyone and continued to blame Joel for saving her life. She cared so much in saving humanity because she has the immunity but instead she became a lesbian and chose not to reproduce. Let that sink in. She even let's Abby the one that tortured and murdered Joel in front of her get away with it. Abby also bit off two of Ellie's fingers. Her letting Abby go is basically saying Joel deserved dying. A loveable character who is the main character of the game. There was no justice for Joel. This game robbed everything from you just for shock value. The current narrative of destroying the male character to make the female character rise is very weak story telling. It is disrespectful to both genders. Females even hate it. Worst of all the pacing of the story is horrible. You literally play as Abby the character we hate for half the game. They tried so hard to make us like her but none of it worked. This game is a waste of time and money and should have never been created as a sequel. The critics are liars and they don't care about what the fans want. They only care about their political narrative and force you to like something that you will never accept. Then they insult you by calling you names because you don't like the product they are praising. They are the worst kind of human being. Trust the gamers that actually love playing the kind of video games you like. Those are the ones who you should listen to. Vote with your wallet and avoid this dumpster fire. Why care for a game created by a studio that is run by Neil Druckmann who is a male feminist and does not care about the fans and the people he works with. That's why 75 percent of Naughty dog left the company due to how he treated them. This game is created by people that don't care about you and backed by people that hate you. The game wasn't made for the fans and gamers. Vote with your wallets and avoid this at all cost. Especially how they are trying to trick everyone with false advertisement into buying this. Look it up on YouTube. Don't trust the shill media. Watch the negative videos about this game and you will see the truth. Long live Joel and RIP to The Last of Us franchise.… Expand

    The main problem is the story:

    The first game had great graphics and an amazingly strong story: it was fairly predictable and simple in the end but they managed to delivered us some unforgettable moments between the characters and the harsh reality of a post-apocalyptic world. There was no plot-holes nor moments where any action by the characters wasn't justified.

    In Part II, they forgot all of it. Too many unjustified actions by the main characters: they behave very differently compared to the first game, even "experienced" characters that were present in the first game seem to know nothing about how the Last of Us world works (rational vs emotional). Lots of plot-holes and the dangers presented in the post-apocalyptic world sometimes seem that they don't exist.

    If I had to explain the story to someone that never heard of Last of Us I would say that the story is " a college project where 5 people wrote each part and in the end they tried to glue everything together".

    Also it makes no sense for us to play at least 10 hours as the "villain" and even fight the main-character. I understood why: they wanted us to form a connection with the villain and give us the backstory and his/hers motivation. But the "villain" is a rigid and unempathetic character. Too stiff and afraid of everything. Like many people I was unable to have any affection.

    It was so bad. It's like you picking up your favorite team in FIFA and the game forces you to play against it.

    Also the gameplay is 75% equal to the first game. The default difficulty is too easy imo. You'll get bored fast especially if you played the first game    … Expand

    Hi everyone,

    Just to make a little disclaimer, writing this test hurts me in my flesh. I wouldn’t be able to express the ways the first game, it’s world, it’s characters, it’s story and it’s music ( good lord, it’s music ) touched and influenced me.

    I feel like saying this is unnecessary but due to the controversy about bad faith downvotes this game gets I guess I have to do it.

    To establish this right away, from a technical point of view, this game is a MASTERPIECE. Regarding all the working methods controversy the development had, what the developers achieved here brings them to the top of the industry. Hats off to them.

    Now, WHY has this game failed to me?

    It would be tempting to say that the game actually “failed me”, that the game is simply not what I wanted, but I wouldn’t agree, and like to prove it in 2 points:

    * During these 7 years, I imagined everything that could possibly happen to our beloved characters, and mostly when Druckmann and Baker started warning us by saying “ This will be a divisive story “ or “ Don’t expect to relive the first game “, my body was ready. In fact, every key plot of the game was expected.

    1- Remember the first 2016 trailer? Everyone was guessing that the Joel asking if Ellie was “really gonna go through with this” was a reminiscent image coming to Ellie’s mind.

    2- When later on it was revealed that the game was gonna be about the cycle of hate and PERSPECTIVE, we pretty much foresaw that we would be brought to requestion our beliefs by putting ourselves in the shoes of Ellie’s wrongdoers.

    Now, HOW has the game failed to me?

    Actually, it concerns these exact two points.

    1- Joel’s death: Now, I won’t go to the extremes of thinking they meant to disrespect him with the crazy theories of the Druckmann looking guy spitting on him.

    I understand that this death HAD to be brutal in order to put us in a grieving storm to put us in a raging hate towards the killers, but how this death has been brought up simply ruins the effect and just keeps us wondering why it had to happen LIKE THAT rather than why did it have to happen to Joel?

    I can’t accept it. How the hell does this vicious and clever smuggler had to get ambushed surrounded by armed nobodies while he’s randomly in the middle of them scratching his ass? And please don’t tell me “ well, he got soft with these years of peace. “, this argument wouldn’t have any backup for that and even Druckmann hinted the opposite by saying that a place like Jackson needs “ killers like Joel”.

    2- Now once again I have to point out that to the really end of the game, I was all in for it. The totally absurd conditions of Joel death were thrown in the back of my head, and I kept going on.

    As said earlier, I knew that I was gonna be brought to live Abby’s side of the story, and knowing that the game was meant to blur the lines of who is the good and the bad of this story, the game had a critical duty to create the empathy necessary to bring us to that uncertain point of the final battle

    And unfortunately, although I had sympathy for Abby, I was nowhere near getting a dilemma at the end, since the characters didn't have much susbtance beside their function: One is a worried son, another is pregnant and hates Abby, Abby is a " garbage" although nothing comes backing this up ( unlike Joel who knew for the first game's ambush because .. ).

    The worst part is that they even made Ellie so distant and bleak that at the ending battle, I wasn't wondering on which side I was, but I just knew that I hated Ellie AND Abby.

    We are left with nothing in the end. A dark game so badly written that it seems that it's just for the sake of being dark.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me duele tener que poner esta nota, y más viendo la calidad tanto gráfica, artística y jugable pero la historia hace aguas por todas partes. En la primera hora de juego matan al protagonista de la entrega, por un personaje metido con calzador del que más tarde hablaremos. La parte de Ellie, desde mi punto de vista, tiene momentos tanto buenos como malos, siendo en su mayoría buenos. Hasta que llegamos al final del juego donde todo lo bueno se pierde en una decisión estúpida. Has recorrido medio país, no solo para no completar la venganza, si no que has terminado peor de como empezaste. Has matado ha todo dios excepto a la persona a la que juraste matar?? WTF??? Me estas diciendo que en el último puto momento y después de haber matado a 50.000 personas perdonas la vida a la única que querías matar?? Bueno ahora pasemos a la parte de Terminator, por que es lo que es Abby. El juego pasa de narrarte una historia post-apocalíptica, hasta cierto punto intentando reflejar la realidad, ha jugar, durante 1/3 del juego, con un personaje al que odias desde la primera hora como es Abby, la Superwoman. Un personaje, que no siendo inmune como Ellie a la infección, se lía a hostias con todo dios, humanos, infectados,... Es un personaje, que aun intentando vendernos que es bueno, sus propios amigos, véase Mel cuándo la dice que no vaya con ellos a Santa Bárbara, la describen como mala persona. Pues bien, este personaje puede no solo completar su venganza matando a Joel, si no que además es capaz de sobrevivir a todos y todo. El juego te vende que la venganza es mala pero solo para Ellie, por que bien que Abby puede cargarse a todo dios y seguir como si nada. Quiero hacer especial énfasis en el final del juego, Abby y el niño llevan días, semanas? atados a un poste en la playa, bien pues nada más bajarse puede realizar una pelea a muerte, con mil cortes, perforaciones, contusiones,.. incluso está durante 1 min debajo del agua, hola?? infecciones, deshidratación, falta de oxígeno,...??? Nada puede con nuestra Terminator.... Y aún me venderán, dentro de un tiempo, una expansión con estos 2... Como cargarse una entrega tan buena como el primero haciendo tan terrible historia..

    Respecto al review bombing, no puedo hablar por los demás pero por mi parte no tengo ningún problema en la inclusión de personajes LGTBI, creo que de hecho es bastante bueno para normalizar el tema y que gente poco tolerante aprenda a simpatizar más. Además en este juego no interfiere en la historia por lo que no entiendo las críticas.

    Por mi parte he puesto el juego a la venta.

    Por favor Sony no quites el formato físico, te salva de recuperar el dinero invertido en tan terribles juegos como este.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is Bold AF! Story line about a cycle of vengeance.

    Story is focused on Ellie and Abby (now being the 2 main protagonists).

    Naughty Dog did a wonderful job on giving 2 different perspectives on the same matter, with the beginning of the game being very Extreme with Joel’s death in my opinion this serves as the main fuel for Ellie’s action. These actions would be crucial for story line and also character development.

    Gameplay and graphics are the best so far on the “consoles scene”.

    So even if story line isn’t appealing enough for you, the gameplay is definitely fun.

    Its not individual characters merely "existing" that is the problem with this game, it's about the bigger picture, why they were created and what they represent.

    Now it's no secret that Anita Sarkeesian (who is a very vocal LGBTQ advocate and radical feminist) was brought on to advise on the game (and Uncharted 4 for that matter) her role included scrapping dialogue and characters that    Its not individual characters merely "existing" that is the problem with this game, it's about the bigger picture, why they were created and what they represent.

    Now it's no secret that Anita Sarkeesian (who is a very vocal LGBTQ advocate and radical feminist) was brought on to advise on the game (and Uncharted 4 for that matter) her role included scrapping dialogue and characters that were deemed too "offensive" or "insensitive"

    Red flag number one.

    A great example, being Bill in the original. The average player would not have picked up on the fact that he was gay, It was very subtle and well written. Now, it was subtle because his sexuality was not neccecery to the scene, and in most cases isnt a detail that needs to be divulged. It's a very private and personal matter. Which is why it was executed perfectly. By a magazine.

    Being gay should not and is not a "personality trait" and should not be overtly shoved in the consumers face.

    Why? Because we dont care!

    Now TLOU2 has many cases of "Token" characters. Characters who's personalities are characterised by their Race, Sexuality or Gender and they ARE forced into the plot.

    TLOU2 has characters who are Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, etc.

    But not because they contribute to the pre established plot. The foundations set from the plot of the previous entry was completely cast aside to allow for the NEW CAST of LGBTQ token characters.

    Now no reasonable person has any issue with characters being gay, or trans, or other. It is when they are thrown into the plot for the sake of fulfilling a diversity quota.

    Straight white males Joel and Tommy are executed to make way for the new order.

    TLOU2 was a masterstroke in game development! The story is a phenomenal growth from the first (which I was also a big fan of) and the most emotionally demanding story in any game I've played. The game mechanics never faltered to support the story by offering a grittier and more difficult combat experience this time around. Honestly just a 10/10 game.

One that is never shy to taking massive risks and making incredibly bold decisions.

    From the very beginning, this game honours its predecessor whilst simultaneously creating its unique voice. Instead of just repeating what made the first game so good and lazily creating a mass pleasing cash grab, Naughty Dog approaches the second instalment with a fresh and unpredictable creative eye, morphing what starts as a simple revenge story, into a rich, complex character study of the controlling effect of pain and anger.

    The gameplay feels developed, introducing more variety to encounters with different enemy types whilst increasing the many different ways that an encounter can be successfully handled. Paired with the stunning visuals, the player feels more immersed than ever before, the brutality being realised to a scarily real degree whilst the photorealistic character models depict the character's clear emotions through distinct facial expressions and body movements.

    The game is packed with twists, turns and surprising moments. Around the mid-point of the story, when the high intensity, fast paced quest for revenge is at an all time high, the narrative is unexpectedly altered and the pace is reduced to a sludge. I thought for a short period that this was a flaw, but throughout the second half of the game, I began to realise the truly ambitious and surprising route that the story was taking. It's a concept that on paper, would seem ridiculous, but Naughty Dog handles it with such maturity and precision that it elevates the themes and makes the story unique and special. As the game works to its conclusion, the slow middle section feels entirely justified.

    After playing 'The Last of Us: Part II' I can easily say that it is the most impressive video game I have ever played. I felt almost every emotion during my play through, consistently being surprised at the bold and impeccable decisions being made. By the end, I was left in pieces. The story only becoming more emotional and resonant the more I ponder back on it. The story is beautifully concluded, subtly but powerfully completing the character arcs and rounding off the game's themes. This was an emotionally challenging experience, one that is absolutely generation defining; a masterpiece.    … Expand

    they connected very well the end of the first chapter with the second, I twisted my nose a bit with the introduction of the second main character at the beginning but then I understood the reason for this addition (abbey)

    Much improved gameplay from the original with a strong narrative and impressive visuals.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay:
    I quite enjoyed the gameplay, even if it wasn't anything new. Most parts of the game were fun to play. The different use of weapons was nice, but I found myself just using 2 different weapons and only use the others when I was out of ammo. The skill tree was okay. There was some useful stuff in there, but sometimes there was no correlation between the skills you had to unlock before you could unlock other skills.
    I really did enjoy the AI in this game (except when you played as Abby and had to fight against Ellie). They were somewhat smart and I really liked it when I killed someone and another AI yelled the name of the one I killed. This makes them more than just some people that you had to kill.

    The visuals and sound:
    I thought the game was a beautiful looking game with stunning visuals, but it does feel like it will be outdated in only a few years. That doesn't take from the fact that I really enjoyed looking around when I was playing.

    The sounds in the game were pretty good. I enjoyed most of the voice acting and the sound of the world was pretty great.

    The story:
    I understand why people are upset that Joel died at the beginning of the game. I would have loved to see more of him since he is a great character, but I understand why they killed him early in the game. Ellie's story was okay. It was nothing great, but I liked Dina and Jessie and I enjoyed their interactions with each other. I also enjoyed that the game explored Ellie's and Dina's sexuality. While some/a lot of people think that this is Naughty Dog being political and in your face, I don't think this is the case. The Last of Us was a very realistic portrayal of people and how they act and I think Part 2 does that too. People are all just different from each other and that is how you make a game more interesting.

    However, when the game was halfway over and we started with Abby's part, I had some problems with beginning with it. You started completely fresh. All the upgrades you've had done with Ellie were gone and I found that frustrating. While I did think Abby her story was more interesting, it felt like it could be a whole new game, since you were starting over and there were only a few crossovers with Ellie her story.

    I quite liked the ending. I thought they would go a different way, but I was okay with the path they took. I did not become angry about the fact that Abby was still alive, because for me the game let me empathize with both sides and I understood why Ellie let her go.

    Overall:
    Overall I quite enjoyed playing the game. It did feel a bit long at some point and I felt like it could be 10 hours shorter without missing the essence of the game. I also think it would have been better if you played both stories simultaneously, instead of the first half is Ellie and the other half is Abby. I appreciate the inclusion of different kinds of people than the normal tough guy you play as in most games.

    I understand that people are disappointed with Joel dying so early in the game, but I absolutely don't agree with all the hate this game gets. That being said, I also don't think the game is a 10/10. It has its flaws gameplay-wise and storywise, but overall it is a pretty enjoyable game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll try to not give in to fanboyism or being too butthurt about the events in the game.

    I have finished the game the day after release, not necessarily because it was so good but because I wanted to know how it >all unfolded. The game is, as was part 1 back on ps3, a masterpiece in terms of graphics and immersion. The world is beautiful, the fact that all enemies refer to eachother by their first name, call out to those that disappeared because of my actions. It's all great. The combat is a bit more fluent than game 1, and has a bit more options but it basically is the same experience, which is fine by me.

    The story is a bit difficult to grade. They have tried to show how hate breeds hate, and how it utterly destroys people. It's an interesting subject to explore, and at times I felt for Abby, the dog Alice, Owen and the kids. But a lot of other sequences I flat out didn't want to play, that feeling amplified to the max when I was actually hunting ellie.. I hated it.
    And that's what it boils down to, the intentions of the game aren't bad.. It's an interesting concept to explore but why in this universe, why with these characters. You are built up to love these 2 in game 1, become invested. And in game 2 they both meet devastating ends. Joel beaten to death in a gruesome way and ellie completely mentally torn down brick by brick, physically mutilated. And it just doesn't swing home because of it.. The story doesn't bring satisfaction due to a combination of horror (for horrors sake) and a last act that is so contrived, nonsensical and flat out annoying. I want to love the game, and in all fairness, this game doesn't deserve the rating it gets on here at all, but a game that leans on narrative has to make sure that the narrative pays off... And it just does t. Best moment would be the when you face Tommy and he nearly kills us. Loved it. Rooted for him.    … Expand

    The dynamic father-daughter relationship that all of us fans grew to love can still only be experienced in the first installment.

    Gameplay: 6/10 very similar to the first game, long and repetitive. For 2-3 hours of play, 2 minutes of story. Much of the second half of the game gets boring.

    Story: 4/10 Classic revenge story that you can find in any movie with a lot of plot holes. That the game forces you to play with the antagonist for 10 hours, seems to me the worst possible decision. When you play with an antagonist you have to have some connection with that character and empathize with her, and that is impossible since she has killed the best video game character in the first hours of the game.

    Anyway, I'm glad I played TLOU2. I'm not glad I bought the paltry special edition but that's my own fault for falling for an old trick.

    The graphics on this game are completely top-tier for the PS4. The game really lets itself down, however, by confining you to playing in urban settings where nature has reclaimed the streets and skyscrapers. This leads to a homogenous environment that makes up a good 50% of the game. You wander around streets and derelict buildings that are difficult to differentiate. However, when you do get to the vibrant visual settings they really are breath-taking. I just wish they weren't so limited and confined to mostly flashbacks.

    The gameplay will likely be the second-most divisive aspect of the game. When you examine the formula it's quite one-dimensional and familiar; enter area, eliminate enemies, scavenge for goods and find a way forward.

    A major aspect that got in my way was that despite being a linear game, I found myself lost or lacking direction at quite a few points in the game. There is a small open-world area near the start of the game that you traverse on horseback, and this area in particular had me scratching my head a few times. There was a map available but you had to retrieve it from your inventory every time you needed it, making it cumbersome. This was likely to keep the HUD clear to improve immersion, but I'd have preferred a mini-map in the corner of the screen like many games do. There are many areas that look like you can explore them, only to be met with vehicles etc. blocking the way which could easily be climbed over in real life but not in the game for some reason.

    I found myself getting frustrated at times with the camera being rigid and my character not moving how I wanted to even with the correct buttons pressed. One near-maddening experience I had a few times was when my accomplice would get in my way, or come running up to me only to knock into me, sending me a few inches outside of cover to be spotted by an enemy. This wasn't frequent, but noticeable.

    The story is easily the most divisive and controversial aspect of the game. A lot of this is due to subjective taste, so should be taken as such. One thing I enjoyed was the revenge theme that underpinned most of the game. Many people were not happy at old characters leaving and new characters emerging, but I appreciated the attempt at moving forward rather than saturating characters and stories from the original. There were many complaints around the sexuality and race elements of characters, and I think these complaints ironically serve to prove that such characteristics are still in receipt of abuse and discrimination in modern times and need protecting. Overall I found the story to be the best part of the game as it becomes twisted and shows that separating good guys from the bad guys isn't always easy. The story allows for more experimentation and evolution than the actual gameplay, so I give praise for this.

    I do have one major gripe with the story and that's how it is delivered. The game jumps backwards and forwards in time, with flashbacks happening within flashbacks. This makes the story feel a bit all over the place and not paced as well as it could. It seems like some of it was made up as they went along and shoehorned in wherever it could fit.

    Let's synthesise this into a conclusion. This game was always going to upset many people and reviews were going to be plagued with bias and extremes. The gameplay struggles to move forward but the game itself is a step forward for the games industry, although not when Crunch and systematic abuse is involved during development.

    Really, the game is a few hours too long, and truncating it could have resolved the issues with homogenous and tedium found in the environment.

    Don't go into the game with massive expectations or demands. Just go with the flow and allow the game to take you on a journey which the first one did, which is a big part of why I believe it was so successful.    … Expand

    As a TLOU fan I can only be disappointed. And angry.

    For me it is a ZERO. A zero because it has thrown to the ground all my illusions accumulated since the announcement of the game. A zero because the experience of playing has been unpleasant in all narrative aspects. I have not enjoyed the game. Nor of history. A game created to please the popular "collectives". But a game should not be politicized. For the harsh reality we already have life itself.

    +5 years waiting for the sequel and when they give it to you they destroy it at the very beginning of the game, forcing you to play with a hated character and offering you an unsatisfactory ending. They could have made a decent game with SpinOffs, but no, they have had to tear apart the most beloved characters in favor of politicized criticism. There is no more to see the criticism of the "specialized" press compared to the criticism of the users. At first I thought that these negative reviews were due to "Fans" who wanted to burst the note, since with so little time it was impossible to rate the game. But I was wrong. With 2 hours of game you can already rate it with a suspense if you are one of those who loved the characters in the first part. The game has a sublime story, yes, worthy of a movie "blah blah blah", but now you can forget about enjoying all your favorite characters from the first part. EVERYONE. In short, **** that big.

    I also feel SCAMED, since in the trailers they trick you into thinking that you are going to play with some characters and then you discover that in the game those same scenes have the characters changed. I have bought a game that has misleading advertising and that should be legally punished so that it is not repeated in the future.

    € 70 thrown away. For me TLOU2 does not exist. The story ends at the end of TLOU1.

    For all these reasons, my grade is ZERO.

    -----------------ESPAÑOL-------------------

    Como fan de TLOU solo puedo sentirme decepcionado. Y enfadado.

    Para mí es un CERO. Un cero porque ha tirado por tierra todas mi ilusiones acumuladas desde el anuncio del juego. Un cero porque la experiencia jugando ha sido desagradable en todos los aspectos narrativos. No he disfrutado del juego. Ni tampoco de la historia. Un juego creado para contentar a los "colectivos" reivindicativos populares. Pero un juego no debería politizarse. Para la cruda realidad ya tenemos la vida misma.

    +5 años esperando la secuela y cuando te la dan te la destrozan al inicio mismo del juego, obligándote a jugar con un personaje odiado y ofreciéndote un final insatisfactorio. Podrían haber hecho un juego digno con SpinOffs, pero no, han tenido que destrozar los personajes más queridos en favor de las críticas politizadas. No hay más que ver las críticas de la prensa "especializada" en comparación con las críticas de los usuarios. Al principio pensé que dichas críticas negativas se debían a "Fanáticos" que querían reventar la nota, ya que con tan poco tiempo era imposible valorar el juego. Pero me equivoqué. Con 2 horas de juego ya puedes calificarlo con un suspenso si eres de los que adoraban los personajes de la primera parte. El juego tiene una historia sublime, sí, digno de película "bla bla bla", pero ya te puedes ir olvidando de disfrutar de todos tus personajes preferidos de la primera parte. TODOS. En resumen, una mierda así de grande.

    Además me siento ESTAFADO, ya que en los trailers te engañan para que pienses que vas a jugar con unos personajes y luego descubres que en el juego esas mismas escenas tiene los personajes cambiados. Me he comprado un juego que tiene publicidad engañosa y eso debería ser penado legalmente para que no se repita en el futuro.

    70€ tirados a la basura. Para mi TLOU2 no existe. La historia termina en el final de TLOU1.

    Por todo ello mi nota es un CERO.    … Expand

The game does a lot the wrong way; I won't say it did thing's it shouldn't have BUT definitely the wrong way.....

    1) It drives this huge wedge between characters who's bond held the story together like glue; instead of being grateful that Joel saved her life Ellie is furious even though they were gonna dissect her to TRY & make a vaccine (in modern times making a vaccine is hard enough, in that world all but impossible), the infection is a fungus not a virus so a vaccine would do jack diddly to help, they needed antibiotics OR anti-fungal treatments, killing her should never have been considered. What they really needed was Ellie to have children to pass her immunity on to).

    2) Joel & Tommy act like rookies & tell their identities to complete strangers like the last game never happened & everyone is trust worthy; where is the Joel who ran over a guy in the street asking for help because he knew it was a trap? Where is the Joel that had to fight off rapey cannibals with their hearts set on Ellie? They are lead to a den of 6+ people they don't know & don't question why these 6+ people weren't out with Abby, Joel & Tommy don't pick up on the vibe of the room, they don't feel uneasy about being out numbered. NOT LIKE THE JOEL OR TOMMY I KNOW.

    3) You are forced to watch as Joel is tortured & murdered by Abby, who does so with a certain amount of satisfaction I might add (torturing someone & enjoying it is a likable quality now IG) & ND literally spits on Joel's memory, almost like a "he had it coming moment", so I guess killing a child to "Save The World" was the right answer & since he didn't do that he must be murdered horribly. After seeing this as a Gamer I expected revenge for Joel, that this set up was to give a gamer reason to hunt Abby down.

    4) They want you to bond with a feel compassion for Abby; they want this so bad you are forced to play as her, go on dates as her, interact with her friends who you couldn't careless about & most you have killed so you never invest in them to begin with. She claims to be loyal to her crew but betrays them for 2 kids she barely knows, you shoot at & kill your own camp members/friends to save these kids but then she's upset that Ellie has killed some of her friends. She's friends with Mel then f*cks Owen (Mel's baby daddy) behind her back, she hates Scars but throws away everything to help 2 of them, she's a proud firefly but betrays them (PICK A SIDE ALREADY).

    5) Ellie goes through hell & back (much of the time on her own) to avenge the murder of her father figure (WHICH HAPPENS IN FRONT OF HER FACE I MIGHT ADD) & in the end she doesn't deliver on that, the one thing that made this unbearable gameplay semi-playable was knowing in the back of your mind we will find Abby & make her pay, Abby murders/tortures Joel, damn near disables Tommy, kills Jesse, beats the hell out of Ellie, bites off 2 of her fingers, but a flash back of Joel keeps us from killing her instead of infuriating Ellie enough to finish the job.

    If ND wanted to make Abby likable or bearable to play as they should've had you play as both equally without the Joel murder/torture & build up to the moment of Joel's death; then the gamer is horrified that they played as Abby & maybe even enjoyed it, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE A NEW CHARACTER WE DON'T KNOW KILL OFF A FAN FAV & BE LIKABLE! we knew jack sh*t about Abby & after she does what she does we don't care to know about her.... all her game play after that feels like a chore, then you're actually forced to fight Ellie as Abby (when gamers fail a mission on purpose i.e. letting Abby get killed by Ellie or throwing Abby off a cliff to get justice that's a bad sign)... in the end Ellie just all out loses... she loses Joel, she loses her friend Jesse, she loses her damn horse, she loses the woman she loves & the chance to be a mother to her child, she loses her fingers & thus-ly loses the ability to ever do the last thing Joel taught her, Play the guitar. However Abby gets to win at every turn; she gets her revenge on Joel, she gets her revenge on Ellie, she gets to enjoy Owen somewhat, she gets to be a hero to Lev, she gets to tell her dad it's ok ta kill a child consequence free, so the message of revenge is pointless & bad is it's self pointless since Abby's revenge is carried out & the only thing stopping Ellie's is.. Ellie.... HOW DARE YOU ND, this game was so anticipated & craved for years & in the end it amounted to a turd-snow cone!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. una jugabilidad aceptable, excelentes gráficos y paisajes, entretenido en algunas partes pero muy aburrido en otras, la historia sin embargo es un desastre total, me quedo con el primero y será difícil olvidar que esta historia existió, los personajes no tienen un arco de aprendizaje, el juego no me hizo reflexionar sobre nada, solo termine con rabia hacia sus guionistas.… 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]
