The narrative is the most mature I've ever seen, perhaps for this reason many didn't like it. However, avoid all the negative reviews and give it a chance if you haven't done it already. Such a masterpiece deserves to be experienced first of all, beyond what will be the final judgment.… Expand

    As the main feature of Last of Us was a story - now this story is very bad.
    When you see how f****st ideology was implemented in scenario, in characters - you see the actual result. You have non-evolving characters, non-interesting gameplay ( gameplay did not evolve from first game), absense of characters motivation in most of cases.
    When you see this game, you just think "It could be a masterpiece. But now... this is politics"    … Expand

    Mucho mejor juego que el primero pero bajo mi punto de vista peor historia... personalmente no me enganchó y eso que la primera parte es mi juego favorito... creo que no se le ha tratado al personaje de Joel todo lo bien que me gustaría... Enemigos un tanto repetitivos y secundarios un tanto insulsos... qué lastima, con el gameplay que tiene, una buena historia habría estado a la altura del primero. Decepcionante.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplesmente fantástico, o jogo se aprofunda no ciclo do ódio, o Joel matou o pai da Abby para salvar a Ellie sem pensar nas consequências. Destruiu a última esperança da humanidade de criar uma vacina para erradicar a pandemia e pensou somente nele mesmo. O jogo proporciona a experiência de viver o outro lado da história, é dito que a história sempre é contada pelo ponto de vista do vencedor porém isso não acontece em TLOU2. Você entra na pele da Abby, assiste seu pai morto por tentar salvar a humanidade, claro que teria que sacrificar a vida da Ellie, mas ela mesma estava disposta a pagar esse preço. Enfim, o jogo é incrivelmente bem construído, com personagens forte, com personalidades fortes. A vingança cega, e isso a naughtydog consegue mostrar bem nesse jogo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand why some people may be upset with what this game presented, or what I saw was that a lot said the pacing was terrible. While I do keep this in mind, this game also gives a lot of things that I just could not have felt more enthroled about. For starters, the soundtrack was absolutley amazing, they tied in the music seamthlessly to the situations in the game and it enhaced the overall feel of the game. Secondley, while I did love Joel as a character in the Last of Us Part 1, this was not his game, and while even though you pay the game honoring him and seeking out vengegance for him, it is more about the development of Ellie as a character, that was the entire point of the game, was to watch someone start off with everything they love and care about, and by the end of the game the one connection she has to left to Joel( guitar playing), is quite literally taken away from her, and you can see this through the somber music , lighting and facial .Lastly, Abby, i thought her story was incredible, and by the end of the game you realize that you were trying to kill someone who just wanted revenge for the exact samething, which of course is why you feel empathy towards her. I for one can not wait for the Last of Us part 3, I think Naughty Dog has set this game up beautifully and I look foward to seeing how the story of Abby amd the story of Ellis continues expressions. I would love to see what eventually happens to Abby, if she ever makes it to the fireflies, and if say someone like Tommy will eventually be a problem for Ellie and might try killing Abby again, who knows , either way, 9/10!… Expand

I think the devs told the story they wanted to tell, and not the one the fans wanted. Which got them a lotta hate, but it also made the game feel very raw and real. Do I have some criticisms about the game? Sure. But do I think it’s overall a really good game, that made me feel grief and happiness and anticipation and despair and awe? Yes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great, an amazing sequel to tlou and just all out great. Man **** the negativity the only reason why people rate this game bad is 1) they are just hopping on the ban waggin of negativity. 2) not finished the game. 3) bots. 4) the leaks. PS the leaks mean nothing. 5) expecting the game to have the same storyline, same linear, same everything. Hey hate to break it to ya, no game can be exactly the same. Wanna bet that if we got the same linear story people wouldn’t like it. Tlou 2 is open, not just in exploration, but in themes, gay, trans and many other things violence, revenge those things. I’ve finished the game and let me tell you all you haters this game is art. Meaning 50% chance of people liking it and the other 50% not liking it. But all this hate is pure stupidness, fake haters only looking for clout or ban waggin. It’s so dumb HATERS GO PLAY THE GAME YOURSELVES AND DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU GOT YOUR REAL!! OPINION.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II doesn’t just tell you that violence is bad, but it shows you the ramifications of it by dealing with the emotional toll as well as the consequences on not just the main character involved, but their loved ones too. At the start of the game, Joel is brutally killed by Abby and we go with Ellie on a mission to avenge him by killing everybody involved. We see it all from Ellie’s POV, hardheartedly seeing Abby as the villain as she just killed the character that we know and love as we have an emotional connection to him after the first game. His death is supposed to make you feel anger. It’s not like you’re supposed to be joyed by it. His death scene left me feeling empty and disgusted, wanting revenge alongside Ellie. However, as the game goes on, we start to see the story from Abby’s POV. We learn that the doctor that you, the player, had to murder at the end of The Last of Us is actually the father of Abby. This is brilliant. Now we see one of the main themes of the story, consequences, and I was immediately on board. Joel is not a good person, at all. He murdered hundreds of Fireflies and took away the possible cure for humanity for his own personal reasons. This is incredibly selfish, even going to the lengths of lying to Ellie about the events as he knows that it isn’t what she would want. Technically, Joel is the villain. Joel had been through so much, so you may think it’s justified. But the point is, Joel isn’t the only person in the world of The Last of Us. Everybody he murders aren’t just mindless NPCs, they are people. People with their own problems who have gone through their own share of pain and loss, people with their own loved ones. Such as the doctor, who had Abby, whom he loved very much and Abby the same. So, understandably, she would feel incredible anger and feel the need for revenge, just the same as Ellie and the player after Joel’s death. There is now a cycle of revenge. Ellie goes on to kill Abby’s friends, and so Abby tries to kill Ellie and her friends. It’s not until Lev talks Abby out of it that the cycle seems to have been “broken”. Abby and Lev put it behind them, however, Ellie cannot and nor can Tommy, which means that the cycle is not broken. Ellie continues her hunt for revenge, thinking it’s still what she needs. Just as she’s about to murder Abby, she sees it’s completely useless. Here I’m going to talk about another core theme of the story: loss. As Ellie is about to kill Abby, she realises that Joel is gone. Completely gone, and killing Abby is not going to change that. She now has Lev, and if Ellie was to kill Abby, Lev would only lose Abby, leaving him in the same situation Ellie was in at the start of the game, which in turn means Ellie is becoming what she set out to kill. It’s no use. Revenge only causes more pain and loss. This cycle is so vicious and nobody wins, and Abby realised this once she found Lev, and found that revenge is a futile thing that does not achieve anything, especially not bringing back her dead friends. She managed to break the cycle herself, and in turn, she found a life worth living, alive with Lev. However, Ellie could not manage this, choosing to still seek revenge. Because of this, she faces the consequences. She loses all of her loved ones. She loses Dina, she loses Jesse and she loses her little boy, JJ. Tommy is the same too. Tommy couldn’t break the cycle, and he loses his wife, Maria. And guess what, Joel is still gone. All of that loss, yet Joel is still dead. It’s all been for nothing. Ellie is now completely alone, which is what she said she was scared of in the first game, all because of revenge. The way forward is not anger, rage or revenge, but acceptance and love.

    You may think this treatment of Joel and Ellie is “disrespectful”, but I disagree. In the first game, you do a lot of bad things as these characters. Yeah, you go through a lot of pain, but so has everybody else, yet they still face the unfavourable consequences. It only makes sense that Joel and Ellie would too. In my opinion, this only helps to build the world of The Last of Us and show that just because Joel and Ellie are the main characters, they aren’t invincible, and the world doesn’t revolve around them. They just happen to be two people who live in the world amongst so many others, which for me, makes it so much more realistic. This is emphasised in the incredible detail in the gameplay of each enemy having names, with other enemies interacting with each other as you stalk them. It makes them feel so much more real and only increased my enjoyability. From a story like this, which is so dark and gritty, I don’t expect a happy ending. You’re not supposed to like Ellie by the end of this story, as she serves as the example of why the cycle of revenge is horrible. You’re not supposed to feel satisfied by it, you’re supposed to feel empty, hurt and sad. That is literally the point.    … 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]
