    The game is very immersive, for many people it can contain difficult subjects to understand, however if you are open-minded and without social prejudice, it undoubtedly gets a lot out of it and leaves you with that lump in your throat that is already typical in Nughty Dog. It is a masterpiece.

    Самое эмоциональное приключение не то что поколения консоли, но за все время существования игровой индустрии. Не лучшее, но явно самое эмоциональное.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the story was awesome and playing different characters with opposite perspectives was really powerful. By the end I was hoping for the opposite conclusion than in the beginning. I started to find some of the gameplay a bit repetitive and not much difficulty in solving puzzles but overall still very enjoyable. What I really enjoyed in the original game was the multiplayer and it's really a tlou2 factions that I want to come out. I'll be back to tlou1 factions in the meantime. Expand

    This video game is a masterpiece. I can’t imagine I could love the antagonist of the game so much. Fantastic storytelling. I just want to thank Sony interactive entertainment, Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, and all the people who has a part in creating this masterpiece. I just want to thank Every Last One Of Them.

    Encore une fois impressionné par la qualité narrative du studio Naughty Dog. Un jeu à vivre manette en main qui vous fait par moments réfléchir sur vos propres convictions.

Un jeu à vivre manette en main qui vous fait par moments réfléchir sur vos propres convictions. Ce jeu prend tout le monde à contre pied, notamment grâce à l’arc narratif d’Abby, merveilleusement bien écrit par Halley Gross. Neil Druckmann nous montre qu’un jeu vidéo ne se résume pas seulement à son gameplay. C’est bel et bien par la narration que ce jeu parvient à faire réagir, à émerveiller, à choquer le joueur. Un jeu qui dépeint la haine et la vengeance de l’Homme et qui montre qu’il est en réalité le plus grand danger pour lui même. Aucune citation ne correspond mieux que celle ci à ce The Last of Us Part 2 : « L’homme est un loup pour l’homme ». Bravo encore Naughty Dog.

    On accueillera avec une grande joie votre prochaine création.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me it is an incredibly game, the gameplay and the graphics are incredible, in my opinion I think that it is not receiving due recognition just for not pleasing everyone, the message of the game is clear: revenge will never bring you something good, you can lose everything even life, the simple fact that they killed joel has become a target of negative criticism when that gives you a lesson: every action has a consequence and sooner or later it will come to you, it also seems incredibly ridiculous that they are offended by the LGBTQ + theme as if they forgot that in TLOU 1 Ellie kissed her friend,stop being childish and immature, they enjoy the game! Because the game is a damn masterpiece Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't end up moved, truly hurt by this story, you haven't played it the way you should have. Every person that end up hating the game, saying it ruined the legacy of the last of us, makes it even more logical that this game is a pure success. The level of storytelling here is above anything ever done before. ND went all the way, without a flinch. They knew the user reviews will be divided. ND made it that way, by going through this hurtful story, you end up learning that Joel, our beloved Joel and all the **** up **** he did in his past, he had to pay for it. The payment is salty af, but Joel knew it. He lived as long as he could with his burden and remorse, even if as he said, " if somehow, the lord gave me a second chance, I'll do it all over again." The love he carried and still carry for his "adopted" daughter, Ellie, is the reason why he did all these things to the fireflies, we all know that, for those of us who've played the last of us. But we had never seen all the damage Joel made by saving Ellie. In TLOU part 2, we get to see all the damages it did to the fireflies and how it destroyed the hope they had to make a cure and save humanity. Joel and his selfish choice doomed us. But because in the last of us, we're playing Joel, we don't get mad at this. we're some sort like "well **** the world, Ellie prevails on everyone!". In some way, we all end up acting as jerks against our own humanity. And the last of us part 2 slaps that reality into our face after 7 years of waiting, of being okay with that selfish choice. 7 years of preparation to put us back in our place and to teach us that life isn't fancy even in a game, that our actions always have consequences and we all have personal responsibilities for them.
    The magnificent overlay of Abby and Ellie's time line in Seattle creates a deep realism, as we flow and end up fighting against Ellie, as being Abby. As a game of the mouse and the cat. except we're playing both hunter.
    ND went deeply into characters story realism and into Ellie's trauma, providing us some of the best representation of a feeling, the loss.
    The whole game play is articulated around the loss, the wound that it left, the denial and the anger then the acceptance, letting go all the pain, to be left with a void to be filled. All this, not clearly showed, but it is all this story is about. Acceptance of the loss, and getting over the trauma. We all lost a loved one, Joel was a pillar to us, and his death as some of you though, was like a bus hitting us right in the face.
    To avenge Joel, Ellie lost everything. She lost and best friend, Jesse, she lost her love, Dina and JJ, and she lost the ability to play guitar, a skill she learned through Joel, a bond she lost the moment Abby bite her fingers. But the last picture from the window with the moth carved in the guitar and Ellie walking away in the background, without looking back, is a blurry way to show us she keeps on going. Everything that happened, is over now. We'll see what's next in a maybe part 3.

    This game, this interactive movie, is blood-sweat-and-tears. It is a complete game. No dlc needed but I wouldn't complain if there was. The graphics are beautiful. The acting, the expressions, the drama. I have not played a game this good. That's why 10/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand the hate and I also do not understand the hate..

    We all wanted a happy ending ofcourse, but that would be too boring.. I've got to admit that I completely enjoyed it, mainly because it was nothing like I imagined it to be, it was not predictable at all.

    The hate over Abby is rediculous, she had her family and friends murdered just as much as Ellie, and if anyone has a issue with her image, clearly lives in the past, hench women are all over social media so get over it. I hated Joel's death so so much, and still hate it, but hats of to the developers for pulling such stunt which caused this beautiful chaos!

    Overall, the game has been an emotional ride, anger, happiness, revenge, forgiveness and overall movie quality suspense.. Absolutely loved it. Well done naughty dog!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game tells us a story full of action, horror and adventure, in a way which catches the player.
    Naughty Dog made it this way with a special intention you must understand. The way you are confronted with Joels Killer while playing her is a really good way to give some controversials to think about and reflect. minus 2 points for killing Joel, and I think the third part in Santa Barbara could be a little more longer, equal to the Seattle Storys.

    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]
