    If you really love a game, you appreciate it! But do not criticize it, because its history and its development is very good, you must play it before speaking.

    I think this game has a powerful and impactful storyline. It's very hard to move on after finished the game. And of course because it's so sad and depressed. This game succeed to bring emotional feeling when you play it. The only thing i don't really like is when you've to play Abby in a long time. But this game still masterpiece!

    I am still digesting the game but one week after having finished it I can say i still feel the visceral and disturbing internal discussions I had with myself while playing it. The complex themes, characters and world presented stick with you long after you put the controller down and I couldn’t not compare what I felt and seen while playing to real world events and people.

The complex themes, characters and world presented stick with you long after you put the controller down and I couldn’t not compare what I felt and seen while playing to real world events and people. There definitely isn’t one single message in the game but the cycle of violence and how trauma affects the mind and body really stood out for me. The story feels more stretched out compared to the first game but in a good way, although some parts during the second half could have been shorter and the prologue could have been a bit longer (what in my opinion would benefit the overall pacing of the game). The gameplay develops almost in every way compared to the first game, it’s more dynamic and realistic than ever, what serves the story during times making the player feel disgusted by his or her own actions during gameplay what ultimately makes him/her feel more empathy towards your enemies when you kill their friends or loved ones (even their dogs). In the graphical standpoint, I couldn’t state enough how beautiful this post-apocalyptic world is. The sound design, music and representation aspect of the game also deserve a shout out.… Expand

    I was one of the few who went into this game without seeing any spoilers, and I must say that people’s expectations ruined it for them because this was a phenomenal game. The story had me captivated the entire time and while the gameplay is very long it was worth it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game of all time. The story is absolutely incredible, there’s twists, it’s heartbreaking, the themes are deep, the flashbacks are amazing. I could go on and on but I’ve never felt so emotionally affected by a game or even another piece of media. Joel dying so early was gut wrenching but set the game up so well. Even with that I actually grew attached to Abby who was a very complex and well written character. All the side characters were also amazing and unique. Besides the story the game looks mind blowing, the fear factor is fantastic and makes you feel vulnerable and like you’re just trying to survive. The combat is extensive and offers lots of variety, gameplay is extremely smooth and satisfying. This easily goes down as my number 1 game of all time and it will take something special to top this. I get why people hate on it because a lot of the story is very controversial and hard to stomach. But if you go in with an open mind and challenge yourself to really understand the characters it will make it a hell of a journey. I applaud Naughty Dog for making such bold decisions as it created a truly remarkable experience.… Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II is a very controversial game. The Gameplay along with fluent animations, makes this game a spectacle to play. The Story is Bering moving and sends an important message that revenge does always provide closure.

    There are a lot of people that love to hate on this game and I just don’t get it. It is one of the most brilliantly told stories I have ever seen. I wish I could play it again for the first time. The ending was absolutely haunting and amazing.

    Un juego que se debe jugar teniendo siempre la mente abierta para entenderlo mejor y comprender los motivos de los personajes, el hecho que genere tantos sentimientos, desde enojo, angustia, miedo quiero creer que es suficiente para decir que es una buena historia, por consiguiente para mi es de los mejores juegos que he jugado y se lo recomiendo a todos y no se deje guiar por las criticas.

AND THAT'S WHY IT IS AWE INSPIRING. To explain the rage I feel towards the people who hated this game and bashed its creators, but loved the first one, I would need to crash the Google Servers. Instead I'll say- enjoy your opinions guys, all I know is it's hard AF to make stuff like this and (in my eyes) Naughty Dog and Neil specifically have succeeded in creating an amazing sequel. Throughout the story there are so many ups and downs, so many times the story doesn't go the way you want it to go, so many times I stopped the game put down the controller and walked around venting about what I'd seen and what I'd 'done' and what was going to happen. AND DON'T THINK THAT'S DONE UNINTENTIONALLY. You are meant to feel an inevitability. You are meant to not be happy and depressed about this game. THAT'S WHY IT'S AMAZING- IT'S RAW AND TRUE. AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY DONE WITH LOVE, SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE CHARACTERS, THE STORY AND THE WORLD. Those are humans I saw on the screen, even if I know it's actually Ashley doing Ellie's voice in a funny costume, I believe more of the existence of Ellie than of Ashley, because I know Ellie, Joel, Tommy, Abby, Dina, hell even Isaac... and not one of these character's motives are unjustified, just like true humans. For me this game is untouchable. Because the characters are so well crafted that any action of theirs, or most situations in which they appear, feel true and natural (at least to me). I was ready for any ending, I just hoped it wouldn't be underwhelming, and it wasn't, the last part closes the circle, and sets the motives right, of how the destruction of the last glimmer of hope can cause so much destruction. That's life for you folks. And that's why I can't rate the game itself.... I both love it, but I also 'hate' it, because Life is Suffering and it's hard to experience so much suffering In a virtual world and add that on top of the real world. My suggestion is to play HZD righr after you finish TLOU2, as I'm planning on doing rn. PS: (yes the whole PC messages in the story were predictable, however they are incorporated well enough to not feel like pure propaganda)

    (ONE SPOILER PART)

    THE FACT THAT ABBY IS THE 'GOOD GUY' IN THIS STORY, THAT HER SOUL IS THE FIRST TO LET GO OF THE HATE, AT WHAT I CALL THE 'FIRST ENDING' IS ABSOULTUELY AMAZING. I BELIEVE THAT LETTING THE STORY HAVE A SORT OF 'HAPPY ENDING' IS THE RIGHT CHOICE, BECAUSE IT GIVES HOPE TO THE PLAYERS TOO, THAT WHILE THERE'S A LOT OF UNNECESSARY SUFFERING WE'VE BROUGHT ON TO THE WORLD IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP. ELLIE'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS FULLY JUSTIFIED, AND BEUTIFUL IN BOTH ITS SIMULTANEOUS SIMPLICITY AND COMPLEXITY. AND THE REASON WHY JOEL IS DEAD IS BECAUSE HIS STORY HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD. HE IS NOTHING BUT A GHOST OF GUILT, LOVE AND PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE THAT ELLIE HAD LOST WHEN SHE WASN'T KILLED FOR THE VACCINE. THE PURPOSE THAT WHEN MIXED WITH GUILT MADE ELLIE CHOSE TO GO AFTER ABBY AGAIN INSTEAD OF STAYING WHIT JJ AND HER LOVER. AND THE LAST BIT OF HUMANINTY LEFT IN ELLIE THAT AFTER 'WINNING' AGAINST ABBY MADE HEE REALISE THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO BRING JOEL BACK, AND THAT KILLING ABBY WOULD JUST BRING LEV AFTER HER, DINA AND JJ. OR MAYBE JUST THAT THIS ISN'T WHO SHE WAS, AND THIS ISN'T WHO SHE WANTS TO BE. THIS IS BASSICALY THE STORY OF THE FIRST HALF OF NARUTO SHIPPUDEN ONLY A TAD BIT MORE REALISTIC AND LESS IDEALISTIC.    … Expand

    Best game so far. What happened to original characters is sad but it's the justice every one has to accept because killing innocent people who are willing to do good for world was not the heroism. Best gameplay almost near to the reality

    The best thing in game is that u can feel the pain and stress when you are killing a person in game. This game surely taken the gamming industry to next level

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly a masterpiece. All the negative review stem from people either not understanding the game or not taking the time to play it at all. Joel’s death was a smart plot point and the story that was built from there was so well made that you really start to feel for all the characters. Abby was a character you were supposed to hate and then like, but the people who didn’t understand the game did not comprehend her story. The way Ellie and Abby parallel each other shows that they should be liked the same and it leads to a very interesting story.… Expand

    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]
