    I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Of Us Part II. There were moments when I was worried the story was going places that would have been disappointing or narratively weak. However every decision and story beat was well thought out and made perfect sense. My only 2 complaints were the cutscenes being less frequent than I would have liked, and the presence of WLF Whitney being less frequent than II thoroughly enjoyed The Last Of Us Part II.

    A game that provokes such a divided response to me proves that it is a masterpiece. Flawed characters struggling through a world that has never felt more real while feeling and seeing the impact of senseless violence. This is more of an experience and less of a game than the first part.

    El apartado técnico es fabuloso, al igual que el diseño de nivel y de sonido, el único problema del título son algunas decisiones que toma Ellie, pero en general es un producto que debes comprar sí o sí

    The storytelling is so bad and the abuse of the main characters so laughable it's not even funny - f*** this **** game,all the way into the trash bin. No thank you Mr Druckmann, never again buying anything produced by you...

    A little overlong at some points but overall an amazing game that's definitely worth playing more than once. Even better than the first game in my opinion.

    Horrible, just horrible. Had great expectations from Naughty dog after the first game 'The last of us', that game was beautiful while this one in an abomination. I request everyone to not waste their prescious money and time on this game. This one only deserves to be called Worst game of the year.

    Definitely a controversial story. May be difficult for some people to really take in. Incredible gameplay and graphics. Another win for ND. When the dust has settled, this game will go down as one of the best in history.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a great example if good graphics does not equal good game. The gameplay and visuals are amazing as expected from naughty dog, but the story leaves such a bad taste in my mouth that it brings my experience down so much. They make you want to like a character then make that character do very unlikable things. It sounds harsh for poor writing to bring a score down this much but the in the case of the last of us 2, it does.… Expand

    The story line not captivating and sorely lacks what the first game had to capture the players. The characters are bland and boring with one main character getting killed without and build up. The only likable characters are the none player characters and it sorely fails in the replay vlaveu area. The good parts of the game are the graphics and sound track

    This game was the perfect sequel to a beautiful and yet brutal original. This game made me feel every emotion with such conviction and power. I laughed. I felt felt genuine fear and dread. And felt longing. I felt pain, frustration, insecurity, hopelessness, desperation, sadness, the list continues. But when this game was most powerful was when it made me cry.

I felt felt genuine fear and dread. And felt longing. I felt pain, frustration, insecurity, hopelessness, desperation, sadness, the list continues. But when this game was most powerful was when it made me cry. Yes, you read that correctly. And yes, I like watching John Wick partly due to the high body count in each show. In this game however, each death carries weight and slowly chips away at your humanity and sanity. I’ve never felt so emotionally drained and exhausted after an hour long session, not really wanting to pick the controller back up. But I did. I kept pressing forward because the story and emotions felt from the characters are so deep and feel so incredibly real. I could not stop playing. Many have argued about the gritty content and perhaps even an ending they weren’t expecting or wanting but look at the world in which this game takes place. It’s not a pleasant, happy or fair world. It’s a world ravaged by a horrific virus that has stripped humanity down to its most raw and dangerous form. Anyone who expects the game to sunshine and butterflies with everything nicely gift wrapped is playing the wrong game. It’s a horrible world filled with even more horrible people. More so horrible, and in many cases, scarier than the actual infected population. With all of that being said this was the single greatest game I have ever played in my life. Every tear that fell from my eye was so powerful and carried meaning. This game is better than 99% of Hollywood movies that have ever existed. This game will make you think, laugh, cower in fear, grit your teeth in anger, and leave you ugly crying in the shower if you think about it too hard the next day. But it is worth every emotion and then some. Game of the year? Nah, game of the century.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know there has been a heated discussion about this game but for me I think it was a very bold game. I was so emotionally taxed when they killed off a main character, well one of THE main characters from the first game and in such a brutal way. But retrospectively that is what I like about the game. It makes you truly appreciate the story and the relationships the characters build. You want to keep playing to know what happens. You get to understand and learn why Abby and Ellie are who they are and do what they do. The game offers such a robust and broad gaming style that I found it enjoyable getting to experience the Last Of Us universe outside the world of just Ellie and Joel. I will miss Joel, but have a bittersweet appreciation for what the storytellers were trying to do for Ellie.… Expand

И какое нам дело до Дины. Да. Она девушка Элли, её любовь. Но мы то её не знаем.Эффект был бы не таким. В игре, феминизм, как вы говорите роли не играет. Если игра про девушек ээто ещё не говор и о феминизм. Игра чисто на контрасте. Такой подход очень интересен. Моё мнение такое. Я ждала от игры немного другого. Но я ничуть не разочаровалась.

    I have been waiting for 7 years to play this and i have to say that when i started TLOU II, my first impresion wasn't the best as a first look.

But the game and history started to flow, and that didn,t stop until the end. In terms of grafics and desing maybe there are parts in which RDR 2 can compete, although in action and cinematics is outstanding, it really feels like a movie (in the good sense) there no much diference between a cinematic or a fight encounter, is amazing. In terms of gameplay the mechanics evolve (there are some really nice adds and improvement), is not a revolution but as I say before it is as perfect as playing a movie. Now we are gonna talk about the history, without spoilers. As i was playing the game i was really enjoying the history, the scenes, etc. I expect something really diferent, but i think that this story is amazing. The important thing i expect that will be main point in TLOU II history apears in the game, but is not based in that, and that's because this history is more complex, it talks about really diferent things and is more brutal than the first. I think is like you are watching Netflix and this game is one or two seasons of a serie. Some many things happends, some of them maybe more important but it could be the best story i have ever played in a videogame. When i finished and i saw opinions like it is a terrible history i couldn't believe it. I think that ND didn't want to do a history for everybody, maybe this history isn't for you, but if you enter in the flow of TLOU II, it will be one of yout best videogames experiences.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the most emotionally draining game I have ever played. Naughty Dog has outdone themselves with immersing the player into their games and making you feel for their characters. The stealth encounters are on a new level of immersion and this became the most paranoia-inducing game I owned. The story is depressing the whole way through, you feel the frustration in Ellie and you continue to constantly power on but at what cost? The game is brutal and killing an enemy made me feel a way I never had towards computer A.I. telling you that you cannot pity anyone in this dog-eat-dog world. You find yourself rooting for both Ellie and Abby as they've experienced the same pain and it is the most painful experience during the end fight against each other. Peace of mind is a fictitious concept in this story and no one feels content before the game finishes, I grip on to what little amount of hope Ellie has when she leaves her home. Naughty Dog has done an incredible job on leaving players (who appreciate the story) with so much to think about weeks after they've finished the game and that's what I think they wished to accomplish with this new title.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU is one of my most beloved and favourite games because of the story and relationship between Joel & Ellie. I avoided all the leaked spoilers, negative criticism on the game so I can experience it for myself and make up my own judgement. However, I am disappointed with ND here’s why. I played the game and completed it in 4 days straight (do not recommend it) it took me on an up & down journey (Mostly down) from beginning to end, lots of flashbacks, confusing story, misleading trailers to get the fans to buy the game, no character development, or clear message, pointless tasks, uncharacteristic choices, no real care or connection to any of the new characters introduced, more than half the game you play as Abby to try and get us to understand and sympathize, when no one really wanted that.
    I can understand where the director was trying to take the story but it was done poorly, even someone with an open mind could see this. The characters they said they hold close and dear to their hearts & would do right by the fans they completely ruined. One thing I cant deny is the graphics are incredible, and the accessibility of game play. If only they had put more work into the story than they did for the visuals. No matter how beautiful the visuals are, it was hard to enjoy this game. At end of it, I felt mentally and physically distraught, no real accomplishment or impact from the game like it had in the first one.    … 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]
