    This Game is a masterpiece.
    Everything is done perfectly and the story is very well built as well as the characters that are developed to perfection. You need to play this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People have always said AAA game devs should take more risks, but when they do, they get reviewbombed. The people complaining about the story in the game simply don't understand storytelling or basic narrative structure. The point of the ending is to show that both Ellie and Abby share many qualities, and are very similar characters. The point of having these morally grey characters is to enhance the connection the audience feels to the characters. This is something that Naughty Dog have succeeded in, which is why I give this game a 10.… Expand

    Melhor jogo que já joguei. História impactante que mexe com o psicológico de quem se envolve de verdade com os personagens.

    (No spoilers!) I went into the game blind and avoided all the leaks beforehand. I didn’t even read any reviews. I re-played the first game right before, which helped me get back into the setting of the world and the characters. I absolutely loved part II. I was amazed by it and right after finishing wanted to shout into the world how amazing the game is. So don’t let yourself be too(No spoilers!)

So don’t let yourself be too influenced by some of the hate (not saying there can’t be legitimate criticism!) and just play it, you will not regret it. The story holds up, and while it is very dark and leaves you kind of depressed for a few days after playing it, it will just really stick with you. If you don’t like consuming that kind of media, which is absolutely legitimate, you might want to stay away from this one. ND definitely took some risks story-telling wise, but they greatly paid off in my opinion. It’s a top 3 game of the decade for me. P.S.: Really do yourself a favor and play TLOU 1 right before, even if you’ve already played it. It’ll make you care for the story and the characters so much more and you’ll pick up on things that you might’ve missed otherwise. TLOU Part II is definitely not a stand-alone title in my opinion.… Expand

    Quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played (possibly a little recency bias nudging it ahead of Nier Automata).

    I loved the first game and Naughty Dog has taken what was great about it and improved in almost every way. The gameplay is similar to part one, but has been tweaked to perfection; the additions to combat are small but open up many new ways to approach encounters.

    The game looks/sounds gorgeous, which is to be expected, it’s predecessor looked amazing for a PS3 game as well. The voice/mo-cap performances from the entire cast are phenomenal. The soundtrack/general sound design are incredible, there’s a weight felt with every shot fired/hit connected, and the non-human enemies sound straight up terrifying. The score (primarily) by Gustavo Santaolalla is one of the best around (again, Nier Automata) and every note fits the scene perfectly.

    Last thing I’ll mention is the story. It certainly wasn’t what I thought I wanted when the game was announced years ago, but I loved every moment, even those that made me feel hate or sadness. It follows on from the story of part one masterfully and adds real weight and consequence to the previous story, particularly its ending which was highly controversial back in 2013 (though the consensus now seems positive).

    In short, it’s a game people should play. As is Nier Automata. One of them is the best game I’ve ever played, I’m just not quite sure which one right now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m gonna be honest, no game has ever **** with my emotions to this extent. This game made me feel so many different things from the start to the end; Happiness in Jackson
    Sadness at Joel’s death
    Anger during Ellie’s quest for revenge
    Frustration when initially we switched to Abby
    Confusion as we played through Abby’s story
    Sheer horror in the hospital as Abby
    Incompletion when Ellie lost to Abby
    Completion at the farm with Dina, Ellie and JJ
    Shock at Abby’s capture
    And finally
    A total sense of peace at the ending.
    I can’t see how people are hating on the story, it is so beautifully written.
    The way they made me go from despising Abby to actually loving her as a character is INSANE, and I doubt any other game could ever do that for me.
    I couldn’t understand what I was feeling myself, until I progressed to day 2 and 3 for Abby
    And as it unravelled I was more and more amazed as to how attached I was getting to her
    Of course, I don’t think we need to talk about the sound design, graphics, animations, gameplay, and all the other content not directly related to the story, because that has never been done better on any PS4 title I’ve ever played. This game was purely phenomenal. And Naughty Dog has knocked it out of the park. Definitely will replay. Thank you, Neil Druckmann, and the whole team.
    Also, the voice acting, even in the first game, man it is done too well for a video game. Every single character feels so real, and of course, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker are absolute LEGENDS. They really made this game stand out. I have so much love for this game and everyone involved in the process of its creation.    … Expand

    Work of Art!
    One for the books. A tremendous emotional journey, written and directed in a way that makes most narrative driven titles in this medium seem safe and unchallenging. An exercise in finding empathy and resolution in a broken world populated by extremely flawed characters. A title that demands self-reflection on how we condition ourselves to selectively elevate and suppress    Work of Art!

An exercise in finding empathy and resolution in a broken world populated by extremely flawed characters. A title that demands self-reflection on how we condition ourselves to selectively elevate and suppress flaws and virtues of people based on entrenched biases.
    A game about the dangers of emotionally missing a forest for its trees that hilariously (yet predictably) translated in a vocal and immature critical backlash from people guilty of that same mistake.
    Ignore the silly user score. Its something special that I'm sure will influence other creative minds in the industry to elevate story-telling to levels this industry never tried to. At least I hope so. It would be a shame if this level of maturity, respect for the audience's intelligence and courage went to waste with no follow-up.
    Buy it. A joy to play and a story that stays with you long after the console is turned off.
    A classic to be remembered.    … Expand

    For me it's a really great game but not better than the first one.
    The story isn't at the level of the masterpiece the first one was but it's still really really good.
    It is my game of the year for now.

    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]
