    One of the best games I ever played.
    Emotional rollercoaster, the game takes very brave choise with the storyline. I loved and hated the game I cried and loughed throughout the gut ranching story.
    Incredible piece of gaming and story telling history

    Игра на 9 из 10. Ставлю 10, потому что считаю нули для этой игры - это не справедливо низко. Игра достойная. Геймплей интересный, а самое главное то, что игра вызывает те или иные эмоции по отношению к героям и к истории. Игра не оставляет равнодушными к ней тех, кто ее прошел, а значит игра безусловно хороша.Игра на 9 из 10. Ставлю 10, потому что считаю нули для этой игры - это не справедливо низко. Игра достойная.

TLOU2 is a brilliant: the graphics are amazing, the story line is solid and it kept me on my toes. The cyclical nature of revenge is poignant and devastating and made me enjoy the game that much more. I would definitely recommend it. My advice: ignore the spoilers and form your own opinions once you play it. If I had seen the spoilers before playing, I would have hated the idea of the game too.… Expand

    The other main complaint seems to be that it shows you that NPC's that are slaughtered in their thousands have lives and families and you , to quote Bill Munny, "take away everything he's got and everything he's ever gonna have."
    There are many other games that allow you kill everything in sight and a few like Sniper Elite even give you an achievement for clearing the map but this like a few other games shows the consequence of your actions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even with all the fan criticism, I still absolutely loved this game. Joel’s death, while underwhelming and a little too early in the story, it was realistic and bada** in a way. A group of people hunted him down, leaving their own people just for revenge, while I’m still sad about Joel’s end, I think it was the right decision to open the game with.

    Ellie’s journey from the wanting revenge to finding family with Dina to losing everything for revenge on Abby, that she later learns it is not necessary, and Abbys relationship with Lev is a parallel to her and Joel, was beautiful and well crafted story arch. Then the bold decision of having playing Abby for half the game. The first chapter I was pissed off, but as I continued I found her heart and her character and I grew to like her (although I still wanted her dead the entire game). Her relationship with Lev, like I said, did parallel Ellie and Joel in a different slightly twisted way, and I loved it.

    The final conclusion did leave a weird taste in my mouth, with Ellie not fulfilling what she left her family to do and having her end this story alone was a unique choice. And having Abby live was a surprise that I still do not know if I want, but I will accept. I understand why people aren’t happy with the conclusion or the addition of playing Abbys story, but I still believe that the story was brilliant and a true masterpiece. As far sequels go this exceeded my expectations and more.

    Also to add, the criticism of the lesbian story line is just ridiculous. We live in a world that this should not bother anyone and it is not pushing an agenda. This is the new normal and people either need to accept it, or just grow up and learn to ignore it.    … Expand

    Un juego increíble, apartado técnico 10 de 10, la historia en total culebrón, me encantó el dramatismo, el camino por la venganza que es prácticamente autodestructivo, la lucha entre en odio que consume todo y el amor que lo cura. Este juego a marcacado mi vida como el primero, gracias por este gran juego

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's a saying that goes 'Quality over Quantity'. After finishing the game, I largely felt Naughty Dog tried to ride the line between quality and quantity with this game. I felt completely satisfied with the gameplay. It provides a good mixture of challenge, engagement, fluidity, and fun. The graphical achievements of this game are very impressive, with only a few things here and there that could have used more polishing. Dumb things to care about like the waves at the main screen after you finish the game could be a little better. The story is what everyone cares about when it comes to TLOU. This one was very frustrating to accept at times. I loved the game right up until the point at which you play the Seattle timeline as Abby. I just felt resistant to it. By the end of Abby's Seattle timeline, I understood and accepted the need for her story. It still felt a little hard to buy in that she'd go back for the kids or abandon her respected WLF position. Abby's story is where I felt they rode a little more on the quantity side instead of focusing on quality. No matter how you see it, the story is balanced with hatred and mercy on both ends. It's well-done, and the fact that a lot of people hate it means that ND has done a great job making players care for their characters. If someone dislikes the game because Joel dies, they just can't see the bigger picture. Actions have consequences, karma, etc.… Expand

Never before have I played a game where such opposing feelings are Firing through me like I just stuck a fork in an outlet! I found myself in awe playing through the majority of encounters, spending hours exploring both views and hardships and relating to them. The story is absolutely beautiful, yet depressing, roller coaster of experiences. Rarely in the art form of game development do you get such an emotional and cinematic experience. The gameplay may get a little repetitive but there is just enough variation and reward that it didn’t bother me. The graphics and animations are incredible. The seamless flow through combat, kill scenes, and story elements are a testament to the future of gaming. The story will not be approved by everyone and by the end of it I sat there staring at my screen contemplating the journey. For those complaining I can only assume they prefer plots akin to Saturday morning cartoons. This is a dark ride and I didn’t agree with some choices the characters made, but I can appreciate the grand scope and the reality of this harsh world and thank naughty dog for the amazing and rare experience created!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I read the leaks and felt devastated with how it turned out to be, I still managed to absolutely enjoy this game and didn't understand where all the hate was coming from, the game develops the characters enough to have sympathy and to understand different perspectives and how in reality they both really are similar in the context of revenge and how it really destroys people more than give them closure. The graphics of the game are incredibly stunning, the level designs were great and the world really felt real even though it's during the apocalypse. Playing this on my PS4 pro there was still a few rendering issues but all in all, a beautiful game. The story. Now the story was an incredible journey to be a part of, at first you have such a strong dislike towards Abby but as you progress through the game, you really come to terms with why she did what she did and how in reality her and Ellie are much alike, you learn that Abby isn't as terrible as the viewers might make her out to be, and by the end of the game you really do end up sympathising with her, the game highlights the PTSD which both Ellie and Abby suffer and how the motivation of getting revenge is all due to just having their own mental closure, but you soon come to realise that revenge brings Guilt, which you can see throughout the game. Not until both individuals do the "right" thing is when they both finally have their own sense of closure from the death of their loved ones. The character development really worked great with both of the main protagonists in this game and allows you to understand both of their point of views.

    As much as you sympathise with Ellie, you end up feeling sorry for Abby too, because they both suffer from the same terrible fate and they both have the same motives against each other.    … Expand

Pourtant bien difficile de faire mieux que le premier opus, naughty dog ont mis la barre haute, mais alors très très haute. Un réalisme de couleurs et de gameplay époustouflant, une histoire prenante et captivante faisant appel à plusieurs de nos sentiments, notamment la haine, le chagrin, la culpabilité, et j'en passe. La mort de Joël a été très dur pour tout le monde. Mais ce passage est selon moi, l'un des plus fort moments qu'un jeu vidéo ne m'a jamais fait ressentir. Donc pour cela, je les remercie. Je les remercie de leur travail si minutieux, de leur talent à surprendre le joueur à tout moments. 7 ans d'attente. Nous avons enfin pu y jouer, et je suis conquis. Chaque personnage est intéressant, nous distinguons avec facilité leurs émotions. Durant ce jeu, j'étais très clairement dans la peau d'Ellie. Bravo au studio d'avoir réussi à nous faire vivre un moment comme celui-ci. La ps4 ne pouvait pas être clôturée par un meilleur jeu.… Expand

    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]
