    Best experience ever on a videogame. Better than Part I, which is also awesome. Naughty Dog brought us a masterpiece again. One week after finished the game, still impacted with the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally finished the game after hours of playing. The gameplay and the visual parts were so good. The team that worked on that, did an amazing job. The problem that made me really dislike the game is the story writing. The whole playing process, I had a feeling that the game force me to do things that I don't want to do. For example at the end when Elly wants to kill Abby but then she remembered Joel and decided to let Abby go. I really wanted that the game gave us choice to kill Abby or let her live. For me that is just so weird, that Elly left Dina and killed so many people to take revenge and at the end she just forgives her.
    Characters motivation was also so bad written, Abby searched Joel for 5 years. I dont think that she will be still that mad after 5 years. The whole Abby character is just far-fetched. She wants to take revenge for her unnamed father, that didn't even played a big role in the whole game. Like they had 7 years to think of the story and the story writers came with this.
    I can't say it's the worst game that I have ever played, but as a fan that waited so long for the sequel, its really disappointing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesom experience with a game that in many ways almost trancends computergaming (Ellie playing an acoustic version of Take on me, and it happened in a computergame folks, come on!) I had no problem with this not being a 100% Ellie/ Joel story, I got to like playing as Abby, and came to actually fear losing both of the two protagonists in the end. Il’l admit that I found some of the ex firefly characters less interesting, and the story could have been shorter overall, but then again knowing that it will probably be about 7 years before I get to play in this world again, I chose to just enjoy it all and be thankfull.
    Listen, I grew up with the Commodore 64 and the Amiga, and to witness how far cpu games have come with this game is just mindblowing. I experienced every feeling playing as either Ellie og Abby, fear, anger, Sandras, joy, awe, happiness, relief etc. Very few games can give you that, if any. And I havn’t even mentioned the incredible visuals, the beautiful music and the rest of the technical aspects of the game itself, the controls, the AI, the UI etc, all working almost flawlessly. I have no hate for this game, no hate for its characters (for those who don’t believe woman can be build like Abby, wake up and smell the crossfit sport) and no hate for the fact that eventhough at the core of it all, this is Ellis story, it’s also Abbys and what a story it is!    … Expand

    Amazing, honestly despite everything I gave this game a go and was 100% not disappointed. I personally think this is the best game ever made, not to say it's my favourite but it definitely is close.

    A wonderful game, so strong and amazing that in the end it will defeat all the hatred that people directed at it. It's unavoidable. For all its shortcomings, TLOU2 has the main advantage - it is one of the best sequels of all time.

    This has to be one of the best written stories that I've ever experienced in a video game. This is much more than a game. It's DEEP! The action and the gameplay overall are also excellent.

    Игра не плохая, но не лучше чем первая часть. Конец противоречивый, он мне не понравился, так же не понравилась игра за эбби, я хочу играть за элли, мне вообще все равно на эбби и ее друзей, я хотел отомстить за джоэла и это чувство мести меня не покидало. Теперь про sjw, он есть, особенно когда доходишь до момента с уходом лева (лили) и понимаешь, почему его ненавидят. Интересно, зачем вы добавили еб*учего транса? Больше всего хочу, чтобы вышла третья часть или чтобы переписали сюжет, когда может быть выйдет ремастер на ps5    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is incredible, the characters and the story are of incredible complexity, so complex that this is a story with no sides there are no villains or heroes in The Last of Us 2, sure everybody likes Ellie and Joel but but Joel is not an innocent soul in the Last of Us, he kills and tortures people with no remorse or regret even people that didn’t deserve it, in The Last of Us 2 Ellie murders countless people in order to kill one person, while Abby did kill Joel, for the entirety of her gameplay she is risking her life to save others, I think that The Last of Us 2 is a story about consequences, Abby loses all her friends and the love of her life for killing Joel, Joel loses his life for murdering countless people and Ellie loses all she had forgoing after someone that spared her twice, I’m only 14 years old and understood this game a lot better than a bunch of adults that think that every story has a happy ending.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was very good. Each Naughty Dog project is an event, and The Last of Us Part II is no exception. The studio once again proved that there are almost no equal to the development of the world, production moments, the very feeling of the game and its penetration. But if you can’t get to the Last of Us and, for example, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with all your will, then this time there are nuances.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game spits continously in the faces of fans of the first game. Our beloved characters get completely destroyed, Joel because he gets disgustingly killed and Ellie and Tommy because they become human scum. All to make Abby, the disgusting killer of Joel look great. Ellie murders dogs, Abby pets them and plays with them, Ellie Kills pregnant women, Abby Let's them live. It's so extremely obvious what the developers tried here. Love Abby and hate your old beloved characters. Absolutely disgusting. Joel's Death is the cheapest and just worst death i've ever experienced in a game. But the worst Part was that half of the game we are forced to play as Abby. You absolutely notice that this Game is Made to spit old Fans in theface. Never felt so **** playing a Video Game. Graphics are great, Sound ist top notch, gameplay is pretty improved compared to the First Game, but Overall it's a Bad experience. Can't recommend it to fans of the First Game. Naughty Dog should be absolutely ashamed. This franchise is dead now, at least for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off with the gameplay. The gameplay has changed a lot with new zombie types, smarter AI, A prone and jump button, new weapons, and new stuff to craft. With all these changes the gameplay is significantly better than the first one and was A blast to play. The graphics are honestly probably the best graphics on the ps4 besides detroit become human. The story was pretty good but could have been better. Joels death was not done right and completely forgets all the rules of survival in the first one with trusting strangers and telling them everything about you. There was an unnecessary sex scene with abbys story. However the game does a good job at humanising abby and her friends. It makes no sense to say Abby is poorly written because Eliie and Abby have the exact same motives and Abby redeems herself by the end of the story. The lesson of the story is revenge only makes you lose stuff and does benefit anyone including yourself. I feel like at the end they should have given the player a choice between killing Abby or letting her go because both endings make sense. This game also has amazing voice acting. I hope it wins game of the year.… Expand

    TLOU2 is the sequel we needed. Complex characters dealing with complex situations and emotions in a brutal world that is expertly realised. Acting, writing, tech, cinematography, gameplay - all exceed and improve on those of Part 1. I can't wait to see what the next journey Naughty Dog takes us on will be.

The game takes all that is good from the original game, my favourite game ever, and improves on all of it. The gameplay was really good and not clunky like the first game which was great fun despite the technology limitations. The music, backgrounds and story are all so good and better than almost everything you can compare it to. Naughty Dog killed it again. It is an absolute must buy and IMO is the best PS4 game of this generation.… Expand

    Esperienza videoludica fantastica, trama coinvolgente e inedita. Grafica spettacolare. Trattano temi importanti con sapienza e professionalità. Le pecore che danno 0 a questo titolo sono solo degli infelici che non riescono a capire semplici concetti al di là degli sparatutto. Patetici e annoiati ragazzetti.

    The gameplay and shootouts have been greatly improved which is great. Some parts take too long and story-wise it can’t compete with the first one. Over-all a thrill of a ride! Playstations 4 best looking game!

    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]
