    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not anywhere as bad as people are claiming, I wasn’t a fan of how Joel died but not everyone gets a glamorous death and the flashback moments really bring him back to life. Not one of the things people **** on ruins the experience or hinders gameplay....still better than any Xbox exclusive… Expand

    I think even the people who hate this game agree on how absurdly beautiful it is, the graphics, the sceneries, the sounds... There's no denying that this is a 10 in all technical categories. Now about the story, I saw the spoilers when they leaked the game, I heard all the bad stuff people said about the game when it came out, and because of that I had super low expectations about it, butI think even the people who hate this game agree on how absurdly beautiful it is, the graphics, the sceneries, the sounds...

Now about the story, I saw the spoilers when they leaked the game, I heard all the bad stuff people said about the game when it came out, and because of that I had super low expectations about it, but I wanted to play it anyway, and damn, I'm so glad I did! People really don't know the difference between a great story that makes you upset and a bad story. No bad story can make you feel this many feelings, no bad story can cause such an impact on people, and what an impact this one left on me, I want to play it again but at the same time I don't, I loved the gameplay and the story (even if it wasn't what I wanted or expected), but I don't want to feel all those things again, this marked me, and that's something only great storytelling can do.
    I'll never forget this game and how it made me feel.
    (But really, even if you have problems with the game or just hates the story it's so stupid to give a game like this a zero, like come on, I know you want it to be a zero so bad, but you know it's not, stop lying to yourself)    … Expand

    Despite all the review bombing from alt right kids, the game is very compelling.
    The graphics and playability are phenomenal, and the store is deep with multiple twists.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Je décide de mettre la note de 10 pour plusieurs choses, les graphismes, le game plays...ect. Mais aussi, et surtout parce que c'est ma licence préféré. J'ai jamais connu pareil émotion en jouant à un jeu, entre peur (parfois éteignant même la play le soir à 3h du mat), tristesse (je suis peut être le seul mais des larmes ont coulé à la fin du 1) et ce DUO, merde ce duo tellement bien construit.... Vous comprendrez donc qu'attendre 7 ans n'a pas été chose facile.
    Passons donc à TLOU 2...
    J'ai mal de le dire mais l'histoire d'Abby m'a plu, et à été parfois passionnante (la mort de son père, la guerre entre Wolfs et Scars...). Après les deux premières heures de jeu avec Abby à me répéter pourquoi je l'a joue alors que j'ai une folle envie de la tuer, j'ai commencé à prendre du plaisir.
    Mais le déclic qui m'a fais comprendre que le studio avait pris le mauvais chemin sur l'histoire de TLOU2, c'est lorsque l'on joue Abby et qu'on doit tuer Elie... La s'en était trop pour moi, tuer Joel dès le début puis jouer Abby pour tuer Ellie, comment le jeu en est arrivé la. Même si le message du jeu est intéressant, la vengeance n'est pas la bonne voie, comment faire ça aux joueurs, comment nous faire ça.

    Le studio a choisit un axe audacieux ! Pourquoi pas ! Mais l'erreur c'est d'avoir sous estimé l'attachement que j'avais (et que les joueurs ont) pour Ellie et Joel. Peut importe si Elie tue une femme enceinte ou des milliers de personnes, tout est justifié (et la je parle personnellement) parce qu'Abby à tué Joel (le daron qu'on aurait tous aimé avoir, et qui nous à tenu en haleine durant les 15 heures de jeu du 1.)

    Ainsi je ne peut être que négatif, alors que vous savez maintenant l'attachement que j'ai pour ce jeu. Le jeu ne tiens pas debout, a cause des choses suivantes, Joel meurt dès le début, (putain je me sens encore mal mais pourquoi pas car on se sens encore plus attaché à la vengeance de Elie) on nous fais jouer le personnage qui l'a tué, et finalement Elie ne se venge pas....
    Peut importe si le personnage Abby est écrit à la perfection, peut importe si elle est super gentille, peut importe si elle sauve Lev... On veut qu'Elie se venge coûte que coûte, (coule la, coule la que je me répétait à la fin du jeux) mais non.
    Ainsi personne ne vengera notre héro préféré... ce qui a couté au studio une fin des plus frustrante de l'histoire du jeux vidéo.

    Maintenant prions pour qu'il ne fasse pas le The Last Of Us 3 sur Abby et Lev. Et malgré tout je met 10 parce qu'il nous faut ce genre de jeu nous ne pouvons pas se permettre de basher pour des choix et des orientations de scénario.    … Expand

    The game has become exactly what it wants to be, shocking, unpleasant and human. Therefore it has had to do a lot of things that many fans don't like. But that's exactly why the game has become something special and not a boring sequel. Anyway, the emotions in the game reached me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я не говорю про техническую часть. Я не говорю, что игра идеальна. Я не говорю, что #TLoU2 не имеет недостатков. Но игра blow my mind. Это дикие эмоциональные горки, безумная двойственность и выворачивание наизнанку персонажей и игрока. Я видела только промо ролики, самоудалилась из интернета, сделала предзаказ и прошла игру. Это жестоко давать нам играть за Эбби, жестоко убивать Джоэла, жестоко превращать Элли в монстра. Но великолепно и рисковано пытаться показать другую сторону. Да, может я и не полюбила Эбби, так как люблю Элли, но именно Эбби остановила круг насилия. Именно она оставила Дину, Элли и Томми. Сейчас я могу бесконечно говорить про две стороны одной медали, про многогранность человека, про эмоции, про то, как не укладывается всё это в голове, потому что этого слишком много. Но достойная ли это игра? Да. Я не обязана ее любить, чтобы это понимать.
    Но игровой опыт который я получила, я могу оценить. Могу понять почему сделали так и не иначе, проще сказать "чтобы вызвать эмоции". Но сейчас я даже не могу придумать такого же сильного сюжета, чтобы спустя 20 часов не было впечатления "всё понятно, месть злобной девахи, gg wp, go next". С другой стороны, мне никому ничего не нужно рассказывать и доказывать. Игра нормальная. Вызывает эмоции. Жаль Элли, девочка потеряла всё в своей погоне.    … Expand

How the story was written made me question whether vengeance is ever worth it or not. I found myself caring for the protagonists and their allies, sympathizing with their internal and even external pain. Moreover, the characters’ actions are realistic in a sense. They felt alive. When I played as the protagonists, my opinions didn’t matter, but theirs did—and I followed their every choices no matter how disapproving they were to me. The combat, stealth, and exploration of the game are astounding. The combat is more diverse than the first game with their added implementation of the well-done dodge mechanic. The AI also communicates greatly with each other as well as the player and their actions. Stealth is better than ever, with numerous ways of achieving those sneaky kills or sneaky, pacifistic getaways. Furthermore, depending on whoever you play as, how you approach your enemies would differ. On one character, I kept relying on traps and explosive tools. On the other, I mainly used arrows and silencers—the more quiet gear. Lastly, the world is just impressive to have been developed. There are fascinating details and unessential yet intriguing stories and lore, in the form of artifacts and graffiti, in almost every place of the game. This adds more to the place its set in, and makes it feel more realistic. In conclusion, the game did much, much better than the first. Not just on its gameplay aspects, but also on its story. I respect the directions they took, and I enjoyed it all the way. Trust me when I say this, your Last Of Us experience is going to be an incredible, immersive one if you tackle it with an open-mind and an adventurous instinct.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game does not deserve a score below 5, I'd like to see anyone try to game with great mechanics and graphics.
    The game went in a direction that not many stories would go towards, not everything is fairytale. Although I despised Abby for killing Joel as I really wanted to play as Joel, this game showed brilliantly that the so called "bad guys" of each story are not always never justified even if it is less artistic than the way the movie Joker was portrayed.
    The stunning environment and graphics should mean that the game deserves atleast a 4 even if the story is pretty mediocre, rating it a 0 is just plain insulting (hence why I gave this game a 10).

    In summary: not every story should be overcome the villain because they are just plain wrong, when in reality you are fighting your own demons even when that villain shows compassion (which is a rare feat).    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part 2 achieves the impossible, it matches the quality, ambition and intensity of Part 1 (and in many ways even surpassing it).

However, it's in the game's writing that Last of Us Part 2 really shines. The story uproots and lays bare difficult conversations that the gaming industry (and gamers most importantly) have only began to address and unpack; bigotry, misogyny and self-entitlement. You don't have to look far to see that this story has ruffled the most toxic feathers in gaming; whether hacking servers, click-bait articles, reviewing bombing, whinging reddit threads or (you guessed it) a petition to rewrite the story. Clearly the industry and community has plenty of work to do and I applaud Naughty Dog for not seeking to please gamers - but to make them stop, think and challenge themselves. Controversy is good. Well done Naughty Dog you should feel very proud.… Expand

I have never played a game that made me feel like TLOU2. Yes, there are some story elements that make you feel horrible while playing. There were parts in which I wanted to stop playing. But all these elements add up to one great experience of pointless violence and a ravaging lust for revenge. Some people are of the opinion, that the story should have played out in a different way. I for one might have agreed half-way through the game. In the end, however, all of it made sense to me, because after everything that happens in the game, you, the player, went through the same character development ark as Ellie did. The characters really bring a story to life which had me on the edge of my seat during the whole playthrough. This is why I'm incredibly impressed with Naughty Dog, there is no game that makes you feel this angry, confused and sad. I feel like some fans mistake the emotions they had during their playthrough for their feelings towards the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you are closed-minded, are not capable to have perspective and are not able to understand the character's point of views, then this is NOT A GAME FOR YOU! A lot of YouTubers and people are fixated to Joel's death which is understandable, but a lot of people really don't understand the story which is where all the hate is coming from. Yes, it sucks that Joel died the way he did and I even cried because he is a beloved character but let's be real, it would not be realistic if Joel had an honerable death. Real life does not work that way, especially in a world of survival. Joel himself crossed many people and he happened to cross someone (Abby) that was affected by his actions. That is where perspective comes in. From what I experienced playing the game, there are two themes which is Revenge and Forgiveness. Because of Joel's death, the flashbacks have meaning and brings moments of happiness to a world that is dark and tragic. Even the times Ellie plays the guitar enhances my happiness in the game. It really does bring so many emotions out of me playing this game and I think that is what the developers wanted. We are human after all. The characters in the game are very well written and if you actually pay attention to the story and dialouge you have with the characters, you learn a lot about them. Not everything is in cutscenes. There is this constant cycle of revenge but at the end, when Ellie gets that quick flashback of Joel, she found her peace and was able to forgive Joel from the lie he told Ellie since Part 1. She had no need to kill Abby because she found peace and was able to move on. Revenge would not take anybody anywhere. Ellie and Abby are similar in so many ways. Even Joel and Abby were similar when it came to taking care of a child for instance Joel for Ellie and Abby for Lev. Other than that, gameplay is amazing, definitely and upgrade from Part 1. Graphics are beautiful and like I said, I enjoyed and loved the story. FYI I also noticed that after like 5 hours of the game coming out, there were a bunch of negative reviews of the game so I find that very suspicious considering that game takes like 30 hours +. And no I doubt 45,000+ people had review copys, lets be real here.… 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.
