    I honestly don’t get the hate for the game. It’s visually amazing, gameplay was great so many great moments. I honestly believe people are not understanding what naughty dog were trying to achieve with the story. Do I wish some things were different yes. But in no means was it a bad story.

    One of the best games I've ever played, loved it from start to finish. Perfect story, perfect character development and perfect combat. (Don't mind user score, it's just a bunch of trolls)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HUGE fan of the Last of Us OG. Can't tell you how many times I've played through it. Now... Apparently it's an unpopular opinion but I am an even bigger fan of the Last of Us II... Most of the hugely negative reviews I've read have painted this game as a demon coming to rip your soul out and drag it down to hell. Few of those people have good points. Others? Simply not in touch with their emotions or cannot comprehend situations and accept them for what they are. This game tells an amazing revenge/forgiveness tale that what seems to me would be pretty damn accurate for most humans going through these situations. Joel dying off? IMMENSELY saddening. Not ashamed to say I cried. Naughty Dog did that very daringly KNOWING everyone who has played TLOU is extremely connected to his character. It's a post apocalyptic era for **** sakes! I'm surprised they didn't die before this! Anyways, loved the ability to play as Abby. Made me like her and sympathize with her. Made the fights between Ellie and Abby painful to play. Meaning I didn't want to kill either of them. All other aspects of gameplay... Masterfully done. Sounds... Made me feel like I was there crawling around on the ground, assassinating enemies with Ellie or Abby, running through buildings, shooting, etc. (headphones work best for this game unless you have a kick-ass surround sound system) Story... Dark, eye opening, makes you think, perfect sequel Controls... Way smoother than the OG All in all... This is one of my top 5 favorite games ever made. WELL worth the many playthroughs to come :)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a masterclass in my opinion. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, gameplay extremely fun and probably the best part of this game. The game play builds upon the predecessor and adds more fun elements and enemies like stalkers/rat-king etc, all enhancing the quality of the game. As far as the story goes, i can understand why some people are angry but this game was always going to have a sad ending. I think the cut-scenes explain brilliantly the choices Ellie and Abby make with the links to their pasts and overall the game does an excellent job in portraying the consequences of revenge and how to move forward from it.… Expand

Из-за таких вот авторских проектов, начинаешь понимать, что игры давно перестали быть просто развлечением.Нил Дракманн проделал колоссальную работу.

Sonuç olarak başlarda oyunu beğenmeme rağmen ortada bir başyapıt var ve 3. oyunun sinyalini verdiğini hissediyorum. “Bir hırsızın sonu” noktası gibi bir nokta atılmamış ve virgül koyup devam dediklerini düşünüyorum. Benim görüşüm bu kıyamete güzel bir son verilmelidir. Oyunda olmasaydı dediğim yerler çok olsa da oyunu bitirip şöyle kuş bakışı baktığım zaman ya güzel oyundu bee dedim ama mutlu da değilim, hüzünlüyüm tıpkı Iron man öldüğünde olduğum gibi...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. At first I was skeptical when I had to play with Abby cause we all hate the fact she killed Joel. But while playing her part of the story you learn we are all a bad guy in someone's story. The part where you're hitting Ellie in the face was as heartbreaking as the ending where you're hitting Abby in the face. And because of these conflicting emotions this game separates itself from all others.
    My heart was heavy when I finished this game and having that lingering emotion, makes this game a masterpiece in my eyes.    … Expand

    The world of TLOU is harsh, cruel, and sorrowful, where humanity has been long strayed from its original values. A lot of people here say that the game is bad because of its story but I think TLOU part 2 deserves at least an 8, in an objective way for the landscapes, visuals, and gameplay - it's a breathtaking game and a mindblowing experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a literal masterpiece, Naughtydog did an amazing job playing with our emotions in such a way. Although most people don't agree to Joel's death, not everyone dies the honorable death they wanted in this cruel, harsh world. Naughty Dog also did a good job in making us feel sympathy for Abby, although she killed the fan-favorite Joel, she was on the same mission Ellie was on, they both extremely loved their "dads". The ending also completed it all,Ellie remembered the scene where she was on the porch with joel, telling him she will forgive him, she put 2 and 2 together and let Abby go. She also didnt want lev to lose Abby just like she lost Joel. What. A. Masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 was one hell of a Rollercoaster. The story was complex and rich and real. It showcases the imperfections or being human and the frailty of life. It’s action packed, emotional, terrifying, hilarious, and most of all it feels real. There are things and characters you love and ones you hate. Things you don’t want to happen that happens regardless because we are just watching a story unfold in an interactive way. We don’t get to dictate what happens to the characters in this brutal world, we get the privilege of seeing how they try to get through it. The writing is superb! The graphics are boggling and the game mechanics a delicious improvement on the mechanics of the first game. I really want multiplayer but that’s not important right now because holy biscuits this story.

    No one is a superhero in this world. Even Ellie who is immune, isn’t invulnerable. She can still die, just like anyone else who gets viciously torn apart by a clicker. Dina says it perfectly at the farm "Jesse didn't plan on dying, and neither did Joel". Dying isn't attractive no matter how its portrayed. In most cases, especially in the world of The Last of US, its unexpected and sudden. You survive until you don’t. A surprise bullet while running into the unknown to help a friend when you thought you were somewhere safe. Murdered with a pipe by someone who's life you just saved after softening from 5 years of safety and awkward love and getting old after 25 years in an apocalyptic world that has not been nice on your body.

    Ellie’s journey in this game is powerfully human. From the triumphs to the struggles, the good decisions and the bad, you can understand her perspective. You can’t help but question the lengths you would go to in her situation, even if you know what’ll happen. You may come to the thought that you would choose differently, but you can still get why she does it all.

    Abby… uhg ABBY. I am so conflicted about her. So much darkness, but so much tragedy and growth. Despite our love for the original characters, we can again come to understand Abby’s perspective and choices as the story unfolds. The desperation for her to restore some light in her world hits us, even as we disagree with and despise her actions. Then we come to support her other actions even if we still hate her.

    The supporting characters all around are so GOOD. They build the story alongside the main characters while growing and failing in their own ways with their own stories. They aren’t just fillers, they are a part of the world and the story being told. Even the npc’s you fight and kill throughout help tell the story with their own characters.

    The ending of it all fit, but I think it could have been better...maybe. It was a good ending, but it still felt like there could have been more. The flashback of seeing a peaceful Joel after only being able to see him in his brutal death shocked Ellie and I think fulfilled her goal. When she left the farm, she told Dina she couldn't get him out of her head, couldn't stop thinking about it all. She had to end it the only way she could think to move on. Whether it be from seeing the state of Abby and Lev after enduring who knows what as some form of punishment, not wanting to end up like Tommy, feeling empowered that she had overcome Abby and "won", or some other factor or combination, Ellie found some peace in that moment. At least enough to let it go, and return to her family. That said, I think what could have made it stronger and been a good specific trigger point was if Lev had begged Ellie to stop like Ellie had begged Abby. That combined with all the other factors prompting Ellie would have, I think, given stronger indication of growth and offered a release of turmoil. It would change things though, it would be a prompt as opposed to a natural occurrence which can feel stronger but does feel more… scripted. I can't say that its inherently better either way, but I can say I love this game regardless.

    You can't please everyone, especially with such a heavy game with real emotions that is beloved by many for good reason. Still, 10 years of dedication created a fantastic game to tell an amazing story that provokes thought and emotion thats not always pleasant. The confusing, convoluted reality that is the cycle of violence is laid bare with no room to hide from it. The Last of Us was never a happy story, it’s always been a good story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ts a step up from the first game in every way!

    Graphics, story telling, details, gameplay. Naughty Dog have outdone themselves again!

    The only reason I can see people giving the game a 1 star, is because of the death of Joel. But they don't see that having him killed in such a brutal manner is what pulls you into the game further.

    I usually try to sneak around as many enemies as possible, but for Part 2 I wanted to shoot, stab, burn and beat every Wolf I came across to death until I finally got to Abby!

    ... Then the game flips you on your head, and makes you play as her... At first I didn't like it, but as you progress you start to understand Abby and almost begin to want her to win over Ellie!
    Thats only possible through the story telling, and this game has mastered it.

    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]
