    Great game. Very different from the original but for me it was just as good.

    This is the best story and twist in PS4 history. Such good writing from Naughty Dog, and fantastic gameplay. Well worth the years we’ve waited.

    All of the insults to the game have a lot of things in common, like men being babies and its apparently sjw garbage, so when looking for a review try to look for one that isnt going to immediately call it bad because of either abby or Joel, it is literally the single best game I've ever played and I vowed to never buy it after seeing the leaks but they absolutely do not speak for the game,All of the insults to the game have a lot of things in common, like men being babies and its apparently sjw garbage, so when looking for a review try to look for one that isnt going to immediately call it bad because of either abby or Joel, it is literally the single best game I've ever played and I vowed to never buy it after seeing the leaks but they absolutely do not speak for the game, dont let neither me or anyone else speak for it either it play for yourself and decide… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game did exactly what it set out to do.
    I am not gonna sit here and talk about graphics and gameplay because that's not what TLOU has ever really been about. It's about really taking you to the limit emotionally, it makes you feel the characters Hate, anger, pain, depression as well as reasoning for each and all actions...
    I found myself in tears often in the game and in absolute aw at how this all was unfolding. Yes you play as the person who kills Joel and why?.... because Naughty Dogg builds this hate inside you at a level that you despise Abby and you want nothing more than to see her suffer... And then you play through her story and form a bond with her and the characters in her life...you form sympathy towards her and see the pain Joel caused when he murdered her father...and you realise the love you have for these characters, Joel and Ellie Stems purely from the fact that you share the same perspective as those characters( from the first game) and you forget that it's that exact perspective that blinds you from the ripple effects and consequences of their choices and actions...so when you play as Abby and realise Abbys perspective...it changes everything in the way you think and feel about all these characters and their stories... To Ellie Abby is the monster who took Joel away from her, To Joel the monsters are the people who tried to take Ellie away from him and to Abby Joel is the monster who took her father from her... That's excluding all the other character development in the game(each side losing more loved ones to this dark path) basically in my opinion what Naughty Dogg achieved here is to create a story and narrative so immersed and visceral that it completely goes over alot of people's heads...years from now, Mark my words this game will be hailed as one of the greatest ever made    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dissapointment all the way. Everything you love about the first game, gets thrown out the window. The graphic in the game was beautiful and the gameplay feels the same as the first game which is good. I feel the tense when encountering humans or clickers. Sound design was amazing, love the atmosphere. These elements of the game, i enjoyed.

    However, the big problem i had with this game is the narrative. It is force. It is disconnected. It is just a frustrating journey overall. In one of the early trailers that ND released, it made us think that Joel was going to accompany Ellie, but that was not the case in the final game. It is replaced with Jessie. That is just misleading.

    I did not look at the early leaks, so I am going into this game not knowing what to expect. But, at some point before starting the game, I was preparing for the worst for what if Joel died. And that moment arrived, I did not expect it to be that early in the game. Abby killed Joel. I feel like Joel's character got dumb down, as oppose to the first game. It just doesn't make sense how him and Tommy just calmly trust Abby and her group. Sure, I get it, the whole theme of this game is hate and Joel particularly is not a good guy either. In the last of us world, there is no good people, everyone is scummy. But this is like a spit on the face and disrepectful towards the character whom you spent the most in the first game.

    So, after Joel's death, you play as Ellie. You want revenge on Abby. So, you went on this journey searching for Abby and killing of her friends along the way. But you never got to meet her as Ellie. Instead, Abby's the one who came and found Ellie in the theatre and killed Jessie and Tommy was helpless and just right when the scene was about to end, the climatic moment. It cuts off.

    Then, the game wants to introduce you to Abby, the girl whom you hated so much and want revenge on. The game wants you to get to know her side of the story in the last of us world. It was just frustrating playing as the character where the game makes you hate her in beginning and her story just keeps on dragging for a long and ardous experience. I got bored of it and it made me wanting to power through the game just to get to that climactic moment, which i did. After all that, I still did not care for Abby character. The two scars character, did not care at all.

    The second half of the game (Abby) was just excruciating to play. It is not fun at all. I just want to finish the story so badly and it keeps on dragging. The tons and tons of flashbacks storytelling are just horrible. It ruins the flow of the story. The ending of the game, you did not get what you wanted. You were left with this empty void. Abby wins, Ellie lose everything in the end, even her two fingers. The character who you rooting for from the first game and waited for 7 years, loses everything. I guess, this part 2 is the downfall of Ellie in this story. It is paving its way for a possible part 3 where Ellie will rise again, maybe.

    Overall, the tense gameplay carried the game i would say. I did not like the flow of this game. A painful and disjointed storytelling. The layers on layers of flashbacks are just fillers of time wasting. This game is a rollercoaster where the people plummets to their deaths at the end of the ride. It's not a fun game and ND achieved that.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is so disconnected from the first game. There's literally 0 consistency in character writing, plots. The whole game is just a different short stories patched together that didn't need to be told. This game was honestly a waste of everybody's time. Also the environment and level design is subpar compared to the first game.

    I loved the game, it wasn't what I was expecting and maybe at first I wasn't sold on the concept, but oh wow. By the time it ended my feelings were all over the place. Narratively speaking, it's f***ing brilliant, I'm honestly in awe. And the amount of details in the game? Woah, it's crazy how well thought everything is. Kudos to Naughty Dog and the team behind this game!

    All in all, no matter how painful it was to play at some points, it's been an emotional roller coaster and the fact that it got me feeling SO MANY THINGS makes it worthy. It's such a good story! I can't wait to play it again... but I need a few days to process these feelings, yup.    … Expand

This game is freaking amazing and the story is really damn good. Its deep and got a lot of unexpected twists. Just loved the feeling of the game and how they made it even darker than in the 1st game, though the 1st was heavy as hell.

    I have never, ever seen such a masterpiece. This is watching and playing a movie at the same time.
    But i don't like the quick time events, but there always the same button, so its okay. the graphics are amazing, the character are great, the gameplay is very nice, love it. It has no open world, but the gameplay reminds me a bit about metal gear solid 1. I like this game,    NO SPOILER...

    I like this game, it is the best action game i have seen in my life.
    The more you progress, the more stuff/weapons you will get. it will not getting boring.
    It is a shame if people rate this game low, because the developer put so much details in the game, you can't see in most blockbuster games. But everyone has their opinions.
    Sorry, english is not my native language.
    If i could say something to the developer of this game and the writer, i would say, you guys/girls did an amazing job and thank you people, for creating such an intense singleplayer game!

    Compelled to create an account to review this game.

    This is obviously the Last Jedi of video games. Some people hated it because it didn't tell the story they wanted. Some people hated it for having characters that are "other". Some people very obviously trashed it without even playing it. I'd bet money that in ten years this is as highly regarded as the first game.

    Eines der besten Spiele aller Zeiten, wie die Entwickler mit den Gefühlen spielen gelingt nur ganz wenigen. Und ein Spiel nur schlecht zu bewerten weil einem die Entscheidungen im Spiel nicht gefallen dem sei gesagt das sowas in allen Medien auftaucht, Filme Bücher videospiele.

    Positiv:

    3. Gegner reagiern realistisch (flankieren, nutzen deckung, usw.)
    4. Animationen von umwelt und charakteren sind sehr gut gemacht Negativ:
    1. Story ist absolut schlecht und vorhersehbar.
    Im allgemeinen sehr schlecht 2. Charakter haben keinerlei tiefe, sind unglaubwürdig und kommen gerne mal in vergessenheit

    This game is a masterpiece. Gameplay, graphics, leveldesign is a 10. The story is a matter of taste but in my opinion also a 10. A revenge story has never been so well illuminated from multiple perspectives. The game takes all video games to a new level. It is grown up and brave. Please make your own opinion.

    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]
