    Masterpiece for me, both gameplay and story are the best among others. Please ignore both positive and negative reviews and try it yourself.

    Frankly, the game is a masterpiece. Miles and miles better than part one, and that's no slight on one. I can't imagine being so deluded to think that artists owe you ANYTHING. Movies, TV Shows, Musicians, Authors, Game Devs... NOBODY OWES YOU A STORY. They could've made this a retread of part 1 where Ellie tracks down Dina's kidnappers and saves the day but Joel somehow dies at the end...Frankly, the game is a masterpiece.

NOBODY OWES YOU A STORY. They could've made this a retread of part 1 where Ellie tracks down Dina's kidnappers and saves the day but Joel somehow dies at the end... but they went above and beyond to create a dynamic rarely, if ever, seen in gaming. The review bombing is atrocious. This game is a masterpiece, and the best game I spent money on in the entire PS4 generation. Only negative? I wish there was multiplayer again lol. Gamerbois are so salty and big mad on the internet, it's funny. To everyone involved, thank you for this glorious experience. I hope you don't let these idiots stop you from making a Pt. 3 if that was in the cards... but I won't blame you if you don't.… Expand

    A sad, dreary, but exciting story. The best directing in the game I ever seen.

    This game is a masterpiece. Gorgeous storytelling, gorgeous graphics, gorgeous gameplay. I've been trying to understend the people who are disappointed, but theyìir arguments always make no sense to me. The sound like crybabies, or rather racist, homofobic, toxic people, who know nothing about storytelling pretending they do. Do yourself a favor, and play this game if you played the first one

    I agree with Dunkey about this game. Maybe hype train was to big for some players, and some of them should play LoU 2 before criticizing it.

    I felt bad for the devs. You work on a game for years and some dumb ass kids who didn’t even buy the game gets in the bandwagon.
    Gaming is entertainment you either like a game or not. It’s simple. Those who **** on any game is pure brain dead.
    Just enjoy it!

    The Last Of us 2 is a masterpiece. The story, the gameplay, the soundtrack and the design. Those hating on it, are pathetic trolls that haven't even played it, or are just so dumb they don't understand the story from both perspectives. The Story focuses on Revenge, and what revenge can cost you.

    BEST GAME EVER /MEILLEUR JEUX/MELHOR JOGO

    Os gráficos são lindos, muitos detalhes, muitos, Easter eggs, O gameplay muito parecido com o 1 com melhorias inspiraram-se concerteza com o MGS. A historia muito boa não sou fã do final final mesmo... Mas entendo a mensagem vinculada no final do jogo... A nota juste seria 9 mas depois de tanta crítica ponho 10

    The last of us part 2 é bom?
    Eu acabei de zerar o jogo e ainda estou repensando sobre o quão INCRÍVEL... esse jogo é. Deixo claro que The last of us part 2 é um jogo sobre pessoas e pontos de vista. Você tem que refletir sobre tudo o que se passa no jogo e se existe mesmo um vilão... Porquê o Joel é o herói que salvou a Ellie, mas também é o vilão que tirou o pai da Abby.

    It is nothing short of being a masterpiece, as it is incredibly brave with it’s storytelling. The greatest part is that it offers perspective like no other game has done before.
    Cancel Culture can’t and won’t ruin this game as it is an epic emotional journey like no other.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a casual gamer who plays for fun and I am writing this review based on my own experience with the game. I would ideally give it a 9.5 but that is not an option. Hence the 10.

    I am splitting my review into 3 sections. Gameplay, graphics ad Story. The story section will contain major spoilers.

    1. Gameplay:
    Overall, there were some major improvements to the gameplay compared to the previous game. For a major portion of the previous game, the goal of the player was to find the fireflies. Every time we got closer to the goal, a sick twist of events would push the goal a bit further and we were forced to play on. Only in the final act of the game, there are a bunch of twists and turns that shifts the focus of the player from the main story and throws in some variety. A good example of this is the part where Ellie is kidnapped by the Cannibals.

    This is completely different in part 2. This game is split into smaller missions and each mission has smaller goals along with one final mission goal. This made the gameplay experience more engaging.

    The game also throws in more variety by adding more uniqueness to various enemy types. There are some new infected as well as human enemy types and each of them engages with you differently. If you are someone who likes to take a stealthy approach, you can overhear the conversations of the human enemy types and sometimes they are really interesting. I also felt that the map design of this game encourages stealth more than the previous game. Engaging with the enemies in combat is also great fun as you get to handle a larger set of weapons while you play as the 2 different characters in the game.

    The game has many environmental puzzles you had to solve to open safes and locked doors with loot behind them. The environmental puzzles were not very hard to crack but you would easily miss the looting area if you don't make a conscious effort to look for them. The puzzles you had to solve to open safes were repetitive but fun.

    I did find the guitar portions mildly annoying, but it was connected to the climax beautifully. So I will give it a pass.

    2. Graphics:
    The outdoors were beautiful and breathtaking whereas the indoors were rich and filled to the brim with details and easter eggs. The game lets you play in a multitude of settings like lush grasslands, forests, swamps, burning village, stormy sea, shaky sky bridge etc. to name a few. The top-notch graphics used to render these environments in detail makes the game more engaging and fun. The game sometimes gives you areas to walk around and explore and appreciate the beauty with no threats around. The character animations for combat, restocking, upgrading weapons etc. were also extremely detailed.

    3. Story: (spoiler alert)
    In short, it is a story of 2 people that are thirsty for revenge against each other and how their lives are impacted by it.

    Joel, the fan-favourite protagonist of the previous game is killed brutally within the first hour of gameplay by a character called Abby who is this game’s antagonist. This lets the player take control of Ellie on a 3-day adventure to track and kill Abby. During the course of these 3 days, you come face to face with allies of Abby. As a player, you get to kill these allies one by one in typical videogame fashion.

    Finally, when you come face to face with the antagonist, the game decides to play a cruel joke and makes you play the 3 days again as the antagonist. Although this portion might not succeed in making players like the antagonist, it helps you get a better understanding of how Ellie’s actions of the past 3 days have impacted Abby’s life. The game reserves some of the better action sequences for this portion of the game as a way of bribing the player to complete this part of the game. The cruel joke continues as the player is forced to beat up Ellie to the last inch of her life while playing as Abby.

    Eventually, the player is given back the control of Ellie so that we can get our long-overdue payback. At this point I was itching to get my hands on Abby. The cruel joke continues as the game presents me with the opportunity to get my revenge but at the same time, it manages to convince me to not wanting to do it. Until this point I was eager to beat the S**t out of Abby, but when I was supposed to ‘press square repeatedly’ to get the kill, I could not get myself to do it. Ellie uses the final bit of goodness in her vengeance filled psyche to show mercy to Abby. Abby rides away into the sunset. Yes, the antagonist kind of wins.

    The game then ends with a scene involving Joel that manages to further elevate our love for our favourite protagonist from the first game.

    Verdict:
    Apart from a few plot holes, I thoroughly enjoyed the emotional roller coaster the game took me on. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a work of fiction that emotionally manipulates you. Others might not enjoy this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And nothing the circle closes .... finished the last of us part 2 .... Naughty Dog, LLC never banal.
    Undisputed masterpiece playful video of all time (for me of course), soundtrack hit the spot, full of feeling hate and pain, it seemed to see a movie where you empathized with every single character you knew going forward with the story.
    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)
    -final (spoiler alert)
    ellie cannot kill abbey because she can empathize with her even when she has killed her "father". she sees joel in her, abbey saves lev and ellie remembers that figure as if she were joel ... fantastic!
    Well what to say I'm sorry I finished it ...
    I hope to see other titles like that on your part

    Those who give this gorgeous game a low score, referring to LGBT propaganda, simply did not play it. Thanks to the developers for the tremendous work and effort. I got unrealistic pleasure while playing this game. Tears welling in his eyes. Buy and play. For her sake, you should even buy ps4.

    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]
