    Mal juego, pero no por la jugabilidad, sino por la trama, es mala, pero exageradamente mala.

    Pathetic. Just pathetic.
    I hope Naughty Dog never ever makes another game. This game is a prime example of disaster. **** destroying a masterpiece of a game after working on it for **** seven years.
    Waste of my **** time.

    A few years back when i played the first game i looked to see the trailer for the second one at first i didnt want to buy it when it released because i didnt like the idea of a game where u only play as ellie but after some consideration and seeing so many sceens of joel in the trailer i decided to buy this game and i feel like ive been lied to the story is garbage and some of the scenesA few years back when i played the first game i looked to see the trailer for the second one at first i didnt want to buy it when it released because i didnt like the idea of a game where u only play as ellie but after some consideration and seeing so many sceens of joel in the trailer i decided to buy this game and i feel like ive been lied to the story is garbage and some of the scenes with joel in the trailer arent even in the game and the gameplay is boring and it feels more like a movie with a really bad plot because at the end of the game you feel like you didnt acomplish anything and that you wasted your time honestly the only way i will buy their next last of us game (if there will be one)is if they say that the second part isnt canon if u liked the first game dont buy this because it completly destroys the story Expand

    Una completa tontería que califiquen mal el juego solo porque no les gustó el desenlace de la historia.
    Gráficos, sonido, jugabilidad, todo me pareció muy bueno, la historia igual. Tal vez no estén de acuerdo con el guión, pero lo cierto es que sí estuvo muy bien estructurado. Ustedes simplemente querían algo diferente, pero no es una mala historia!

    Ok so Im about half way through the game and first of all that's alot longer than most people played before rating it. People rated this game a low score 2 hours in where something major happens.

People rated this game a low score 2 hours in where something major happens. It's stupid don't listen to the reviews their all just mad baby's who can't take a sad hard deep story. This game is amazing from the beautiful graphics to the intriguing characters and story and the writing is excellent. This Is by far one my most favorite games ever. It drew me in so quick and yes they do have similar mechanics from the first game but I mean what do you expect. There's not much you can do to a system that's not flawed. They made the game play smoother, more fun, and it perfected it. This is some of the best stealth game play that I have ever seen. It's so fun and just so amazing. This game is phenomenal and don't think it's bad by just playing till a major story beat happens. Spend some time with it. And also to all the people who were completely shocked by what happened, come on seriously you should've known it would happen. Where else would they take the story and make it as good as the last one. The game is phenomenal Expand

    If you change the name of the game for "linear as hell" no one will ever notice any difference! Feels so predictable and repetitive... and let's not talk about the game plot... stick to video games and avoid political statements. This company went from excellence to pure trash in just 2 games!

    So much waiting time, for a game full of bugs, bad monitoring, serrated graphics (in the bush), swearing in excess (I already expected this, based on the first one) and a ridiculous ending .... I will sell the game urgently, it makes you angry just looking at him on the shelf. Disappointment sets ... in the end, XboxMilGrau was right

So dissapointed , play tlou1 story is so good, relationship between joel and ellie grow closer till end game and make me not boring replay new game several time. But this new tlou2 story just hit so low, its asked ellie to make peace with her 'father' killer at end, its about oh okay since my important person is killed so i kill your andthat make us understand each other so lets not kill each other at end.

    My suggest it finish yourself, uninstall and play other game. Not gonna replay new game since bad story and will forget soon unlike tlou1 ,,,- one best story game i ever play-

    Better save your money for better games. If you want to buy this game think twice, no three times and watch your favorite streamers and their review don't trust to "Pro journalists"
    This game is average story of revenge with epic fail story , good graphics and bad gameplay + LGBT thin line (trigger)) )
    so 5 of 10
    - 1 because of DRUGman
    -2 because of SONY and their reaction

    Some of the worst writing I have ever seen in a game. No respect for character development or the original story/lore. This seems like Druckman just doing what he wants giving **** all about if it makes sense or works within context. Predictable as hell, painfully linear and god awful execution. Avoid this garbage fire at all costs. If you need a good ps4 game to play, pick up Persona 5 Royal.

    TLOU2 is a Hollywood slick, big budget and beautiful version of the work of Yoko Taro. It reminds me of Shadow Of The Colossus, Nier Automata and Spec Ops: The Line with a budget.

    TLOU2 is a Hollywood slick, big budget and beautiful version of the work of Yoko Taro. It reminds me of Shadow Of The Colossus, Nier Automata and Spec Ops: The Line with a budget. Thus it may well be my favourite game of all time. An utterly astounding work that forces the player to confront their own assumptions and explores the dangers of othering individuals and groups.

    The way the game progresses and varies it's encounters brings to mind Resident Evil 4. Using it's core stealth and combat mechanics that are then twisted by enemy combinations, environmental factors, arena design and more. These core mechanics are absolutely rock solid and then used as a foundation for game design that keeps them constantly feeling fresh.

    The graphics are phenomenal as is the score and voice acting. The writing feels like it's actually been written as opposed to simply plotted or scripted, perhaps even dramaturged. However rather than simply emulate film or television it tells a story in a way that could only be done in an interactive medium, a radical and bold structure that encourages you to wallow in the grin satisfaction of necessary violence done well and then asks you to reconsider and recontextulaise what you have done.

    It's a masterpiece and the first game in years (in fact probably since Resident Evil 4!) that I binged and finished in a matter of days. Highly, highly recommended.

I mean the only thing i can say positive about this game is the graphics and select mechanics, the gameplay itself is super repetetive and unmotivated by the story, it was heavy to complete and then without any satisfying or should say any conclusion at all in the end ... Im asuming there is a message but its so unclear and badly told that it still feels like such a waste of time in the end.

    Gerade TLOU2 beendet. Technisch und Inszenatorisch wohl eins der besten Konsolenpiele aller Zeiten. Emotional und erzählerisch hat es mich aber kaum gepackt und nie so in seinen Bann gezogen wie Teil 1. Dafür wirkte vieles einfach zu forciert um ein bestimmtes Ende zu erreichen.

    Allerdings ist besonders die zweite Hälfte des Spiels eine Wucht und hat mich für eine 08/15 erste Hälfte und ein unnötiges Ende entschädigt. Wenn Teil 1 für mich eine 9/10 ist, ist Teil 2 eine 7/10. Spielen sollte man es auf alle Fälle. Alleine für die Technik und Inszenierung.

    Abby ist für ganz klar die spannendste Figur. Ihre ganze Geschichte fühlt sich an, als wäre hätte sie der logische Protagonist sein sollen und nach Teil 1 ist ihre Story am interessantesten.

    Die Story hätte mich wohl am meisten überzeugt, wenn Abby zur Hälfte des Spiels auch Ellie und co. getötet hätte und man den Rest mit Abby spielt, die mit dieser Tat hadert und dann durch die neuen Bekanntschaften Katharsis erfährt.

    Aufgrund der doch sehr ungerechfertigten Scorevergabe gebe ich dem Spiel hier eine 10, auch wenn ich nur denke das es eine 8 wäre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us ll es una historia triste e impactante y cuenta con un final agrio que la comunidad no se esperaba, todos los apartados de este juego son excelentes, gráficos, mecánicas y la parte técnica son sobresalientes. La historia es buena pero no supera a primer juego y tiene huecos argumentales y la muerte de Joel es forzada y hay muchas coincidencias en esta parte, ya lo demás de la historia es buena pero complicada de aceptar. En este juego hay un nuevo elenco de personajes, un gran ejemplo de este es Abby, que es la personaje la cual mata a Joel y jugamos una gran parte del juego con ella y el propio juego hace que empatizemos con ella, y no lo logra del todo ya que nosotros entendemos que ella también sufrió pero nosotros al estar ligados con el primer juego al recordad que ella fue la que mato a Joel no se cumple esa conexión que el juego quiere, lo hubiera logrado su Abby reflexionara acerca de la muerte de el ya que ella mato a serafitas y a gente de su propio grupo solamente para proteger a Lev y que ella vea que Joel realmente no fue malo y que pudiera entender estas acciones, si nos hubieran mostrado esto al menos lograrían mas la aceptación de los jugadores hacia esta personaje, ademas de la muerte forzada de Joel, los huecos argumentales que dejo y que nosotros no empatizemos con abby lo demás en el juego es bueno, es un juego que trata del ciclo de la venganza, es triste, nos da un choque emocional por los giros que nos da el juego y el final es agrio y nos deja impactados y con un chock total. El final del juego es muy controversial ya que a mucha gente no le gusto pero si te pones analizarlo y a reflexionar sobre este es un buen final, al menos para mi. En los demas apartados el juego es excelente y hermoso dejando la historia a un lado.

    The Last Of Us ll is a sad and shocking story and has a sour ending that the community did not expect, all the sections of this game are excellent, graphics, mechanics and the technical part are outstanding. The story is good but it does not surpass the first game and it has plot holes and Joel's death is forced and there are many coincidences in this part, and the rest of the story is good but complicated to accept. In this game there is a new cast of characters, a great example of this is Abby, who is the character who kills Joel and we play a large part of the game with her and the game itself makes us empathize with it, and it does not succeed. At all since we understand that she also suffered but we, being linked to the first game, remember that she was the one who killed Joel, that connection that the game wants is not fulfilled, her Abby would have reflected on the death of Since she killed seraphites and people from her own group just to protect Lev and for her to see that Joel really wasn't bad and that he could understand these actions, if they had shown us this they would at least achieve more player acceptance towards This character, in addition to the forced death of Joel, the plot holes that I leave and that we do not empathize with Abby, the rest of the game is good, it is a game that deals with the cycle of revenge, it is sad, it gives us an emotional shock He for the turns that the game gives us and the end is sour and leaves us shocked and with a total shock. The end of the game is very controversial since many people do not like it, but if you analyze it and reflect on it, it is a good ending, at least for me. In the other sections the game is excellent and beautiful, leaving the story aside.

    Good Points:
    - Gameplay
    - Mechanics
    - Graphics
    - Development of scenarios
    - Story 8/10

    Bad Points:
    - Plot gaps
    - Joel's death forced
    - Matches in Joel's death
    - The game can't get us to empathize with Abby
    - Abby's part gets a little slow

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We are December 3rd, 2016, during the Playstation Experience, we finally discover the first trailer of TLOU2. Do you remember the cheers of the crowd and the happiness that we all felt when Joel finally appear? Do you remember the scream of joy when we saw in another trailer Joel saying "You think I would let you do this on your own"? This is how TLOU2 has been advertised for us fans of the 1st game and in love with those two characters and this is how we thought the game would be and should have been.
    I will talk about the story because I think we all agree that graphism and the OST are incredible and the gameplay mostly good.
    We arrived in an apocalyptic world where some people are mad against Ellie for being lesbian and where Ellie is disrespecting Joel because she has her puberty maybe. This already puts the tone of the story. After 1 hour and half-interesting, we meet the second playable characters of the game, Abby. I didn't expect to play another character since the director of the game said explicitly that only Ellie would be playable. The biggest problem of this game is the incoherence in all character's actions and I will explain why it's inherent to justify my grade of 3.
    Joel is a survivor that is able to guess an ambush in the first game and that told Ellie to never gave her name or trust strangers (We see that she follow those rules during the Winter Part in the first TLOU). Nonetheless, in this game, he follows a stranger into a lodge and give his name to everyone there and follow them into a room without escaping possibilities. After the massacre that he did to the hospital with the fireflies, he must know for sure that some people might want him to die. Ellie is a lost character in that game. She smokes weed and has sex in the middle of a building crowded with infected and where she can die every second, which is stupid and incoherent with the situation. She followed Abby around all the countries and kills thousands of innocents and a dog (The studio said that you are not obligated to kills any dogs in the game but it's false, you are obligated to kill one which I didn't like since I have a german dog too). All those deaths to reach Abby and when she reaches her and can kill her she doesn't.
    Abby finally, is incoherent in her decision. Every intelligent person would have killed Ellie like Joel killed Marlene in the first game. It was sure that Ellie would follow Abby for revenge and after killing all her friends, she decides once again to not kill her. (Maybe because she is a girl because she killed every guy but not Dina & Ellie). The game tried to make us have compassion for Abby but it's impossible after what she did. It was torture to play as Abby for 10 hours after what she did and it would have been more suitable to put that part with Abby before she kills Joel.
    Dina looks more like a love interest and isn't an interesting character, Jesse is interesting, Tommy is useless and Lev is here just to promote transsexuality and inclusivity because the only thing they say about her is that she shaved her head and is a man. The game gravitates around revenge and tries to tell us that revenge is bad but doesn't succeed because Abby got what she wants by taking revenge so we as players want to have ours too. The final let us frustrated and we felt very down when we think of all the lives lost, all the sacrifices done and all the hours we played. We lose so many characters, some with very bad injuries such as Ellie and Tommy and we lose everything as Ellie finish alone. This game doesn't accomplish anything and the only happy ending is the one of Abby that has her happy ending thanks to revenge. The game tried to make us have compassion for Abby and make us realize that Joel is a bad guy but Joel only killed for surviving and by love while Abby killed by hate. The only "innocent" life that Joel took was one of the surgeons, the dad of Abby. I understand the volunteer of the studio to deal with feelings such as remorse, compassion, and self-identity but this is totally not coherent in a world such as The Last of Us. To survive you have to kill and don't have places here. Self Identity about being a guy doesn't have its place, you talk about an apocalyptic world, I don't think it's the primary issue on someone mind here.
    I think that this game has been ruined by the agenda that the studio had and all the contributors that give their touches to the game. The person playing Lev had racist tweets, Ellie in the flashbacks has a more masculine face because of some feminists activist and I truly think that the idea of the game was to get rid of the male character to put a woman that breaks the rules with a man body. I waited 7 years for the other game, I trusted Naughty Dog on it because it's my favorite studios and all my favorite games are from them but they let us down with this one. I truly think that this game was made for people that didn't even play the first one or knew 2 years ago

To all the people hating on it: no one likes to be forced into doing something, regardless of what it is. But this game does it for a reason. People are **** People are also good. How the **** you distinguish those two opposite declarations is up to you to decide. A story like this was never going to end up like you thought it would, and thats the point. Its life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I got the game early and played it. I read or saw no spoilers before the release. I never do. So here is what I think: Pros: - gameplay - graphics - atmosphere - sound - music All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned. Cons: - story - character design - character development - plot holes So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad. The reason is: character development. If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her. I mean she KILLED Joel! How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel? Hell no! That is weak story telling. Really really weak. Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning. This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke. Safe your money and buy something else. And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done. You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core. This game right here? Its garbage Expand

    The game play is actually not bad, very similar to the last game if a bit repetitive. There are some great moments here and there.

    The story is the worst part here, without going in to spoilers it is a complete mess, a particular character is shown little respect and really ruined the rest of the game for me. The developers also took a risk and tried to do something g different but quite frankly it was a terrible decision. With a game like this that is so story driven it doesn’t matter that the graphics and gameplay are good, I was not engaged and just felt disappointed by the poor story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My actual rating would be a 7.5, but I’ll round down due to my overwhelming sense of disappointment in this game. Mechanically this game is flawless. The graphics are beautiful and one of the best I’ve seen and played. I commend Naughty Dog for improving a combat/stealth system that felt perfect already. I also believe the level design and voice acting are big strengths as well. However, while these things were great in the The Last of Us, the narrative and writing is what makes that game one of the greatest of all time. The Last of Us Part 2 falls very short in those regards. There are far too many coincidences in the story; Abby stumbling upon Joel and Tommy, Ellie losing her map out of her closed backpack for Abby to find, someone magically coming from California who saw Abby. These are a few instances of the lazy writing that is prevalent in this game, something I never would’ve guessed I’d be saying about a Last of Us game. Character motivations aren’t clear, and new characters are so poorly written and forced upon the gamer. They give us no reason to care about Jesse, Dina, Abby, and/or any of Abby’s friends. This game also lacks the moral ambiguity that it’s esteemed predecessor had. This game paints everything as good or bad, and tries to teach a lesson we already knew and was done much better in other media, that murder is wrong and revenge leads to more violence. However the biggest sin in this game for me is the Abby section. In this 25 hour game, you play close to half of it as Abby. Including a near 11 hour stretch in the middle of the game while being left on a cliffhanger. I don’t understand why Naughty Dog thought we would go for that. Not one person wanted to play as anyone other than Ellie or Joel before this game was released, and they damn sure didn’t want to play as Abby after we see what she does to Joel. Just an idea, if you want people to care about a character, don’t have her brutally murder one of the most beloved video game characters of all time in the first 3 hours of the game. That was a terrible decision, and is pretty indefensible. Overall this is an amazing game mechanically, but The Last of Us Part 2 needs more than that to stand up the the first installment. What made the first game have such lasting impact is exactly what is missing from the second game. I am seriously disappointed with this game, and it has dashed my excitement for future games in this franchise. Hopefully they can right the ship in the future, but I don’t have much hope for that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the gameplay and stealth was all done incredibly. Set pieces were amazing and some of the new characters were actually likable; Lev, Owen, and Dina come to mind. Old characters are just as badass as always, Tommy is a sharpshooting fiend and playing through flashbacks with Joel makes him even better. It’s a technical marvel, just beat my first playthrough in around 23 hours and plan on doing a survival playthrough. I think it is a really solid entry into the series just with not too great of a story. ND tried and failed to get the player to like Abby. No matter what happened I never cared for her. Up until the end when she was so malnourished that she shrunk to the size of Ellie. Do i think Abby should’ve been spared in the end? Hell no, the story is on revenge. That’s what everyone has been trying to get the entire game, then Ellie just lets Abby leave to join the fireflies. Then Ellie can’t even do what makes her think of Joel the most, which is playing guitar, and her wife left her. ND is really trying to vilify Ellie only for the reason of thinking it’ll make someone like Abby a little bit more.

    All set pieces were great, world building was incredible, technical and AI feats, realistic talking and moving AI, responding to names and such, Story was very lackluster, and new characters being very boring are the only 2 downfalls.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 is, in my opinion, getting unfair amounts of hate for the story. Some people are really stubborn about hating Abby, but they're missing the point of the game. I'd give the game an 8 out of 10, but they pulled a bait and switch with Jesse and Joel in the trailer. Otherwise, I think this is a great successor to the first game. The game represents LGBT characters in a way that doesn't demonise or stereotype them. It isn't forced down your throat either. Trans people exist. Gay people exist. The game shows that quite well. People who are, understandably, upset about the death of Joel need to understand one thing: Joel was a villain. That doesn't mean he isn't likeable, but he is essentially a serial killer. He massacred an entire building's worth of innocent people to save one person's life, all so he could selfishly have the daughter he lost. That makes him human. Just like how Abby murdered Joel in revenge. That makes them human. Naughty Dog made some interesting choices with the story. I believe that the Abby playthrough should have come first and then have her murder Joel, rather than have her kill Joel, have Ellie go after her in revenge, and have them kill Jesse too. The story is realistic. If I was in Abby's position I 100% would do the exact same thing. A lot of people would. Abby is a likeable character, it's just a shame ND decided to give them such an awful first impression. Graphics: 10/10

Don't you see that Naughty Dog has turn their faces from us and become as a another slave of a PC? I think this is the worst choice that Naughty Dog have ever made.Beside to the story, the Naughty Dog was not showing the best performance that they could do and the moves that were showed on trailers were not abke to do them.

    If TLOU Part 1 was a 10/10, then TLOU Part 2 has to be 11/10!

    This is because the sequel expands significantly on the first game by improving the gameplay including even more realistic and brutal combat, improved stealth and enemy AI, better weapon crafting, incredible attention to detail and stunning graphics and environments (pretty much using all the resources that the PS4 has to offer).

    Most of the controversy regarding TLOU2 has been focused on the story which, apparently, many people are unable to grasp. Two major criticisms are that one of the protagonists gets killed brutally early on in the game by a new protagonist and that Naughtydog is pushing some agenda. The latter relates to the fact that Ellie is homosexual and that the new protagonist is another female character with a strong body build. Both those criticisms are invalid and in vain, however.

    In TLOU2, the consequences of Joel's actions in Part 1 catch up with him. Remember that, in Part 1, Joel 'saved' Ellie against her will, killing a lot of innocent people in the process and lying to her face (repeatedly), as he could not bear the thought of losing another child. TLOU2 is set 4 years after the events of Part 1 and features some beautiful, playable flashbacks that cover this period, revealing more about Ellie and Joel's relationship with each other. On her quest for revenge, Ellie herself goes on a killing spree, trying to find the culprit and bring him/her to justice.

    The story revolves around this desire for vengeance, blurring of what is right and wrong. That is, although all characters have valid reasons for their actions, the cycle of revenge ends up causing only more pain in the end. A lesson that Ellie learns the hard way during the course of the game. Overall, TLOU2 excels in every aspect, from gameplay to storytelling. It builds upon and improves the first part substantially and it deserves all the perfect scores it got.

    Finally, it should be noted that the game offers the most accessible experience that any videogame has ever offered and provides five increasingly challenging difficulty modes for players to choose from.

    If you haven't completed the first game, I would highly recommend that you complete it first, before diving into TLOU2 as, otherwise, the story will make less sense to you.

    For anyone who loved the first game, this is an absolute must-buy!

    Graphic 9/10
    Gameplay & Mechanics 8/10
    Story 9/10

    Final Verdict: 8.6/10

    One of the most controversial game, here’s my thoughts about the game after playing for almost 4 days before grab the last platinum trophy, cling!
    1. Graphic: Top notch, sometimes i even forgot to resume the gameplay and using the photo mode, more alike i abuse it to capture some moments. Clack click pic here and there, appreciate the view, the custscenes, enjoy the moment and environment, even the transition from custscene to gameplay never been this smooth, amazing.
    2. Gameplay & Mechanics: definitely more improvement than the first one. So intense, agile, smooth, fast pace yet so brutal, nuff said. The character control is perfectly balanced and have more ways to reach some hard terrain or area while still retaining the original mechanics from the first one. Sometimes a bit clunky but doesnt affect the gameplay that much.
    3. Story: at first time i gave it only 6/10, but when i finished my second playthru, searching every nook and cranny, reading all collectible from letters, Ellie’s journal, all the text thingy you named it, watching all cutscenes, flash backs, pay attention to details while trying to connect with the first game, man it was amazing, such a great storytelling. 6/10 turns into 9/10 for me. You can feel what the character feel and raw emotion. I feel sad, empty, angry, happy, grateful, regret, overwhelmed, sad, sad, exhausted, sad, sad (too much) but yeah, i never felt such emotion from a video game and kinda feeling mixed even after i finished it. Every goddamn scene with Joel and Ellie, it really hit me hard, very very hard. Joel find his redemption thru Ellie on the first game, Ellie find her redemption thru Joel on part 2. This shows how bonding they are each other with unconditionaly love

    Final thought: despite all the leaks are true, Neil said “nothing compares to it if you play the game from the start till the end”, and he nailed it (Neil Nail, OK!). This game is not only about revenge, anger and hate in my opinion. It’s about forgiveness and redemption. And like Troy Baker said, be open minded, life is not that easy and always happy as karma and butterfly effect does exist and the game shows this to me clearly. Everyone deserve a second chance and i see it thru the Ellie’s side and Abby’s point of view during their journey, it’s post apocalypse world where no one is right or wrong, you do what you have to do to survive.

    The most heartbreaking part is the ending where Joel actually saves his baby girl once again in a different way this time. He just want to be a good father and try his best effort to fill the role for Ellie, something that he cant get with Sarah. “If Lord give me a second chance, i will do it all over again”, Joel didnt want Ellie make the same mistakes as he did in the past, something that he cant fixed it, he helped her once again to regain her humanity and sanity. Killing wont solve anything, it only creates another cycle of vengeance and in the end, it will only consume your mind and body. Because of him, Ellie saved. What happen in the past, stays in the past. You cant undo as it already became a part of yourself but you can create a better future. Forgiving is one of the hardest aspect in life as well as regretting. Ellie’s biggest regret is she didnt have a proper final goodbye to Joel. **** happen and live must go on just like he said in the first ending, “no matter what you keep finding something to fight for”

    Top moments:
    1. The Birthday Gift chapter
    2. “Take on Me” moment between Dina & Ellie
    3. One last night father and daughter relationship of Joel and Ellie before goodbye (the powerful one)

    It is an excellent game that raises the issues of personal formation in society, radicalization of religion, problems of violence, stigmatization, growing up and combating psychological trauma.

    After passing, you may experience an unpleasant feeling that can be easily confused with dislike of the game itself. But after a while, everything falls into place.

    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]
