    This game is a wasted potential. It throws everything that made the first one a masterpiece and the best game in history. The first one was built on a bond between two characters that hated each other. By the end of the game they were like father and daughter. The story was what shined. And it was just perfect. The second one had awesome gameplay but the story was just boring. Playing asThis game is a wasted potential. It throws everything that made the first one a masterpiece and the best game in history.

    Beautiful game, the devs and technical guys did a great Job but you don't pay 69 Euros for this game to look at the environment, these kind of games are all about the story which is absolutely horrible in every way and doesn't make any sense especially the ending, if you're a fan of the first one DON'T PLAY THIS !!!

    Incredible gameplay, incredible acting from all parties. Many different factions to combat, all with unique abilities and styles. Fantastic story, and a must play for fans and non fans alike. Well done Naughty Dog, incredible game. Arguably better than the first, which is a massive compliment.

    Bad story, for being poorly built on the current political agenda. It is bad where the first one was very good.

    Playing this game makes me suffer. Especially the plot holes in the end, that makes no freaking sense. And that “shrek woman” is the worst part of this game. I don’t know if this game is for SJWs only or what, but in conclusion it does not worth buying.

    Naughty Dog probably made one of the most controversial decisions in their writing process I have ever witnessed from any game developer.

    It has the most unique story line ever in a 3rd person game. If they didn't make the story as it is , its just probably one those linear games with linear narrative ! This is a masterpiece!

    Un des meilleurs jeux auxquels j'ai pu jouer.

    Tout d'abord, graphiquement, ce jeu est le plus réussi de notre génération. Vous pouvez lancer Metro Exodus en ultra avec Raytracing sur votre PC à 2000 euros, vous n'aurez pas une once de la beauté que ce jeu peu vous proposer. Le nombre incalculable de détails rendent ce jeu plus réaliste que jamais. Vous n'aurez pas affaire qu'à des    Un des meilleurs jeux auxquels j'ai pu jouer.

    Tout d'abord, graphiquement, ce jeu est le plus réussi de notre génération. Vous pouvez lancer Metro Exodus en ultra avec Raytracing sur votre PC à 2000 euros, vous n'aurez pas une once de la beauté que ce jeu peu vous proposer. Le nombre incalculable de détails rendent ce jeu plus réaliste que jamais. Vous n'aurez pas affaire qu'à des textures extrêmement bien travaillées, cela, de nombreux studios savent le faire. Ici, ce monde est palpable tant le soucis du détails le rend concret.

    Le jeu profite de l'univers musical de l'opus précédent, avec de nouveaux thèmes dans le même styles. Concernant le sound design, c'est ce qui ce fait de mieux dans le réalisme et la cohérence des sons qui vous entourent.

    Du point de vue du gameplay :

    Oui vous aurez à explorer toute la carte et ouvrir tous les tiroirs possibles et imaginables si vous comptez survivre dans une difficulté élevée. Oui, les combats sont moins spectaculaires que God of War ou Uncharted
    Mais les combats vous donneront du fil à retordre, ils ne se dérouleront jamais de la même façon grâce à une des intelligences artificielles les plus réussies. Vous ressentirez la violence de la mort que vous semez, l'idée étant de servir la palette d'émotions immenses que le jeu vous offre

    Concernant l'histoire :

    Le grand point fort de ce jeu est ici, l'histoire, ce que les scénaristes et le réalisateur ont voulu nous faire ressentir. Cette partie du jeu le propulse tout simplement au rang de chef d'oeuvre. J'écrivais auparavant concernant la palette d'émotions que vous fait ressentir le jeu, vous n'êtes réellement pas prêt. Vous allez ressentir de la rage, de la haine, de l'apaisement, du dégoût, de la peur, de la déception, de l'émerveillement, et à nouveau de la haine et de la rage, pour finir sur de la compassion et de l'empathie. Aucun jeu n'avait réussi à pousser à ce point l'expérience émotionnelle liée à un jeu vidéo. En plus de l'écriture, les excellents acteurs permettent de vraiment vous impliquer dans l'histoire.

    Le jeu vous laisse un mélange de sentiments étrange lorsque vous le finirez : Tout d'abord, l'accomplissement d'une quête relativement difficile selon la difficulté choisie. La haine, la tristesse et une once de bonheur, liés à l'histoire que vous venez de vivre. Vous ressentirez également un sentiment de manque, tout d'abord concernant les événements et les personnages que vous avez rencontrés.
    Mais également un sentiment de manque, de se dire que l'on ne jouera pas à un chef d'oeuvre, de cette envergure et de cette puissance, avant des années.    … Expand

    Me encantó el juego, me golpeó la historia y el final me hizo llorar. Por eso lo respeto.
    Lamentablemente tiene algunos agujeros de guión que son innegables pero no me sacaron de la experiencia.

    If you can’t handle when things aren’t going your way, this isn’t a game for you. This is a masterfully crafted game with a gripping story that centers around a revenge plot that branches out in the most unexpected ways. The story challenges the player, with just not outstanding gameplay, but also understanding of themes like grief, trauma and forgiveness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute crap story tbh,Character’s actions don’t make sense and No I’m not saying this cause Joel died
    What Joel would have wanted?
    Lmfao damn you’re dumb
    Even Ellie herself told Tommy that “If it was one of us,Joel would have been midway through Seattle”
    Joel would have never forgave Abby for killing ellie,Tf you talking about
    The story is absolute bs
    A lot of things don’t make sense at all
    Joel and Tommy trust a whole ass gang and enter their lodge just like that? (keep in mind Joel didn’t trust ellie when they first met lol) a gang that is out near Jackson for absolutely no reason you trust them with your names and where you live,Wow Ellie’s story is so similar to top Characters Kratos and John Wick
    And guess what?These 2 never stopped till they got revenge.
    Did they know there were consequences?
    Yes they did
    Did they still take the revenge road?
    Absolutely and they have nothing to regret
    The game is about Forgiveness?? Lmao
    Then why did the character who forgave loses everything while the other who got revenge got away and will probably live happily ever after with lev and the fireflies while Ellie Lost Joel,Tommy,Jesse,Dina & JJ,Her finger and the ability to play the guitar which was the only thing left from Joel btw and pretty much herself
    Yeah exactly poor writing.
    You know,Those 3 characters had their enemy between their hands.
    Let’s see what each did
    Kratos:Beat the **** out of his “FATHER” till he died
    John Wick:Shot the dude who Killed his “PUPPY” instantly Ellie:AbBy i’Ll lEt YoU gO ._.
    This story is so bad lmao
    Notice how I said “Father” and “puppy”?
    Cause if Kratos was not willing to forgive his father and John couldn’t let go of a Puppy then Ellie surely shouldn’t have let Abby live.
    And you guys notice how all Males die (Expect Tommy who gets paralyzed) I just found that interesting And the story doesn’t make sense at all when you think about Our mentality (as humans)
    Pretty sure most of us would kill the hell out of Abby if we were Ellie,Cause if someone kills someone close to me and I have him/her between my mercy,I would torture them to death.
    And that’s why this game sucks.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really fantastic game! Naughty Dog did it again and they still are my favorite developer. The gameplay is very entertaining, the AI is smart, you always have to move and think ahead.The graphics are top notch, the best facial expressions and (voice) acting, ligthing, textures,....Everything has super high production values and the attention to detail is unpar.
    The audio is incredible, you really have to hear this in surround: you can hear which direction the enemy is, the enemies shout commands or are in shock when a comrade dies and they even shout their name.
    The Story is 10/10. Ok it's depressing. Joel does but he sometimes comes back in flashbacks so he's not really dead, the game wants to tell you that Ellie will always remember him. The game wants Joel to die because it wants you to feel the same anger as Ellie. Ellie has now a cause why she wants to take you on a revenge trip. But the killer Abby also becomes the main character and this is a very bold but smart move of Naughty Dog. The game wants to tell you that there is no good or evil. Ellie has her reasons to kill Abby, because she killed her father figure: Joel. But Joel killed Abby's father!!! So Abby also had a good reason to kill Joel. We learn from Abby's past that she's not evil but just wants her revenge just like Ellie ..... It's an interesting change of perspective which I like. The end was weird but interesting, you play as Abby who wants to kill Ellie... And later on you play as Ellie who wants to kill Abby. In the end you are not cheering that someone wins, you want them both live and go their seperate ways. Who wins? Ellie? Abby? Nobody? You have to play the game. Just do it, keep an open mind and enjoy. Also check out on Youtube: Girlfriend reviews and their video: 'understanding Last Of Us 2" . After this you understand it better, they really nailed it.    … Expand

    Gameplay-wise, it is very similar to the original game, nothing was really added except the "jump" control which is fairly useless in my opinion.

    The graphics are top notch. Detailed, atmospheric and at some parts they look like next-gen. Visually the game is excellent. Nothing more to add here.
    The story is very bad in my opinion. It is almost as if the creator of this game made wrote this plot (and dialogues) to piss of the fans and only cared about promoting himself (more than one self inserts) and advertise his views, in order to attract attention. He is rumored to be pursuing a TV career and maybe that would explain a lot.    … 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]
