    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS AHEAD* - Read at your own peril.

    The Last of Us is my all time favourite game. I love Joel and Ellie and their story. So when I heard Part 2 was coming out I was ecstatic. But then... I saw the spoilers. I was disappointed to say the least. Yet, I still decided to play. I knew the death of Joel was coming, but I was not prepared for him to die like that. I was beyond angry and upset.
    When Ellie began her revenge murder spree I was more than happy to help, since I had grown to love Joel, and I too wanted Abby to die a horrible painful death. AND THEN THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO MAKE ME PLAY AS HER. I didn’t like it but I came to understand her character. The point was to see it all in her perspective.
    But as I continued to play, my anger towards Abby and my need for revenge slowly disintegrated into nothingness and I didn’t even realise it.
    Hurdle after hurdle, death after bloody death, the moment finally arrived. Yet I didn’t want to kill Abby. Like Ellie, I found that my thirst for revenge ended and I didn’t find the need to kill her.

    It didn’t hit me until the end, but Part 2 played me like a fiddle. When I saw the spoilers and watched Joel’s death I wanted nothing more than to get revenge. Yet Part 2 convinced me not too. Having to encounter death after death, I realised revenge is empty. Whether you like it or not, at the end of the game you understand Abby and, like Ellie, begin to grieve Joel properly without being fixated on revenge.    … Expand

    Me encantó su historia, muy original, nada continuista, hay que jugarlo entero para entender bien su final, una historia de venenganza.

    What an amazing video game. The game play, the graphics, and even the story. I know some do not agree with the story and thats fine, i do not agree with everything, and to be honest thats fine! You can tell how much care, detail, and time was put in by the developers of this game. Games like this are the pinnacle of the video game medium and make me happy to be a gamer.

    This game is a total masterpiece in every sense of the word. The story is absolutely fantastic, despite all the negative out there. This is a game that will be talked about for years to come and in my opinion, haters should give this game an opportunity and actually play it, even if they have to borrow a ps4.

    A huge canvas that has to be judged for its complexity, value and authority for being a worthy representative of taking video games to the next narrative evolution. A masterpiece made by artists with the highest attention to detail, the work of perfectionists.

    Don't trust the negative review-bombers! They are just wining about the death of Joel, about playing strong female characters and a lesbian love-story (without beeing focused on porn-like sexuality. The gameplay is thrilling, stunning, sometimes shocking brutal, but exciting.It will leave you horrified, scared, and will raise your heartbeat to 180 bpm.    … Expand

    I enjoyed the story, didn't notice any pushed agenda. Don't get why everyone is mad at all to be honest. Good story, great graphics and gameplay. Overall enjoyed it a lot, even if a bit less than the last one. Sorry for having this opinion guys, don't hurt me.

    Эта игра чудесна. Я сопереживала каждому персонажу и понимала любой из их поступков. И в самом конце ощущала вместе с Элли всю боль потери во имя мести.
    Графика божественная, сюжет проработан на 100% (10/10)

    The Last of Us Part II is a hard bit of story to rival. Naughty Dog created TLOU about 7 years ago, putting us through the journey of Joel and Ellie. We fell in love with those characters and shared their struggles. We felt their loss. We started TLOU2 with hopes that after everything those characters would live happily ever after, but the world of TLOU is dark and rarely ends happily.The Last of Us Part II is a hard bit of story to rival. Naughty Dog created TLOU about 7 years ago, putting us through the journey of Joel and Ellie. We fell in love with those characters and shared their struggles. We felt their loss. We started TLOU2 with hopes that after everything those characters would live happily ever after, but the world of TLOU is dark and rarely ends happily. Without spoilers, TLOU2 faces the uphill battle of making you care about a character that starts off almost irredeemable. In my time with the story, I felt a wide range of emotions for this character and others. When I finally finished the last scene of the game, I was left with the satisfied feeling of a story that felt total, complete, and moving. The game deals with, represents, and successfully addresses topics like sexuality, ideology, and morals that are hard or tense to discuss with ease. It does so in a way that provides a bridge to relate to characters in a way that allows you to overcome their differences and appreciate the ways that they emotionally connect with you as the player.

    Gameplay wise, TLOU2 plays a lot like TLOU. The melee combat is more refined and satisfying, and the fighting scenes are most intense and sometimes more chaotic. A few added parts to the gameplay include the ability to manipulate infected interacting or attacking your enemies in an organic way. Exploring the world and it’s secret corners often goes rewarded with lore and loot. There are plenty of fights that are available but not essential to the story as you go.

    Graphic and sound quality is outstanding. Naughty Dog pushed the PS4 to its absolutely limit, and it’s an outstanding comparison to games at the beginning of the PS4’s lifecycle until now when we’re approaching its end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of us Part II Storyline for me are accepted & it’s amazing. I’m enjoy Abby storyline this time. Compare with Ellie, Abby lost all the friend, lost the wolf now left the scar girl on her side. All of this beginning are Joel start kill the doctor 1st, of course he want to protect Ellie but do you know what is Abby feeling when you young girl lost his beloved father when she still young in the after end of the world like that. Ellie still got Jackson village, still got Dina, still got Maria, still got tommy. Also this gameplay are amazing improvements & the details of this game are **** awesome. For me naughty dog u done a good job maybe the ending not everyone like it but in fact real world the reality is cruel ！！… Expand

    I'm a psychologist and, in therapy sessions, I deal consistently with trauma, violence and horrible real pains. This game represents it so well that is really hard to play it continuously and think about it all.
    Those who can't get into the plot and can't understand, won't like it. And we must not force it because, for some, it's too heavy.

    It's a game for those seeking realistic and intense experiences in video games. It's for those willing to learn about life, able to think about our cruelty, our pain, the pain of the others, and our empathy.

    In addition, I must point out that this was the first game that I really felt identified. I'm not saying that this is the only one that discusses race, gender and sexuality, but until now this was, in my opinion, the best. Because it's so natural, unlike many others, and because all the characters are perfectly realistic: no more fragile and weak women! Real women outside of video games are much more Ellie than Princess Peach, and I'm proud of it.

    Thank you, Naughty Dogs.    … Expand

    A visually great game with a story which many people dislike but I personally found to be gripping and made me feel many different emotions throughout but leaving me pretty much satisfied when all was said and done, getting to see the story prior to Joel’s death from Abby’s POV was much needed and allowed an understanding of Abby’s motives and her overall character.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excelente historia. La inclusión es lo de menos. Tenes que engañarte a vos mismo para jugar como Abby.. tenes que meterte en la piel y entender las dos caras de la moneda. Se llama empatia, y que un juego genere ese conflicto interno en el cual te sentis culpable por los sentimientos que genero el 1 y a la vez bien porque Anby tambien merece ser feliz.. ya es devir mucho.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creo que el odio que se desprende de este juego no está justificado. Muchos le tiran por la supuesta correción política que tiene el juego (que en este caso, me parece que ni siquiera afecta a la trama principal del juego). Muchos querían una nueva aventura con Joel y no se habrían quejado tanto si hubiera sido más de lo mismo. Mientras los fans de quejan de que la trama no tiene sentido y que es una mierda, a mí parece que el valor del juego radica en los pequeños detalles. El hecho de que Ellie deje vivir a Abby al final del juego, habla de un arco de redención en el personaje, dónde el círculo de venganza se cierra, así ella madura como persona y entendemos que por muy heroicos que veamos a nuestros protagonistas no lo son y qué deben pagar las consecuencias de sus actos. Creo que algunos no entienden aún, que los juegos son obras de arte que son concebido por un autor y no están fabricado para los fans, aunque a la gente le arda. Fantástica historia y seguimos esperando futuras entregas!!!… 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]
