    虽然网上恶意差评很多，但通关后我个人觉得第二部是超越了第一部的～更加好玩！

    This game is a masterpiece. There were moments that I wished the story didn’t go the way it did but stick it out and listen to the story they are you. It’s an amazing story with near perfect graphics and gameplay.

    With this game, I avoided reviews due to the amount of people trying their hardest to spoil the game for everyone. I’m very glad I did. A lot of people have talked poorly of the game without giving it a second thought / playing with tunnel vision.

A lot of people have talked poorly of the game without giving it a second thought / playing with tunnel vision.
    My honest review is that I truly don’t think I’ll ever have an experience like this in my lifetime again. The amount of work these people put into this game shows, and it shows a LOT. From the sounds (if you shoot a person, the death screams are haunting. If you shoot them in the mouth or throat, you can hear the blood fill up their throat and lungs. It’s insanely realistic. Even the sound of rain as it hits different surfaces.. you can HEAR the difference) to the facial expressions were absolutely phenomenal. One thing I kept mentioning was how REAL the characters looked and acted. Their facial expressions were so amazing to look at. It was awe-inspiring. The mechanics were near flawless, the environment was beautiful from the forest down to the scary, spore-infested buildings.
    As for the story, I don’t want to say too much due to spoilers, but it had me hooked from beginning to end. It broke my heart and ravished my soul over and over again but I feel like it was a GOOD thing. It pulled emotions from me harder than any game I have ever played previous to this (I have a large back catalog of these) to the point that I cried remembering some things even after the credits rolled and I had the time to take a day to think about it.
    I chose to give this game a 10/10. It is well-deserving of this score and I wish I could rate it higher.
    Well done, Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This game is simply a beautiful masterpiece! I have never been so emotional in a game like in TLOU 2. What a message...worth the wait and the best way to end this generation of consoles. The only down side is that it sets the bar really high for all other games to come.

    It's very rare to find a game that stays with you so long after you finished it. What could have been a simple tale of revenge turned into an emotionally touching tale of redemption. PLAY THIS GAME

    Without any spoilers, this game delivers an emotional and heart wrenching story providing you with an explanation of a traumatic point in the story from two different point of views. For me at least, the character you hate from the start becomes a character that you empathize with towards the end, this left me torn between who was in the right and who was in the wrong. The gameplay is smooth and satisfying with a great combat style similar to the first game.
    The graphics are IMPECCABLE! I spend so much time admiring the scene I’m in.
    Although I can understand the controversy regarding some major plot points, I believe each person must play the game before establishing an opinion. As well, you should stay open minded to try an understand the actions of some characters, imagine yourself in their place, what would you do? It’s hard so understand characters you want to hate, but that’s what, in my opinion, is beautiful about this game. It allows you to understand both sides of the story, and it does so amazingly.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This thing blew me away. A complex dive into what it's like to grieve a loved one, to lose everything. And the brave decision to swap over half way to another character.. people will hate it and people will love it. This game seriously deserves better than the bad reviews it's getting... Play it for yourself and do your own opinion. But for me this is one of the easiest 10/10 I've given. This and God of war are the definitive PS4 games in my opinion.… Expand

    I loved it. This was a game I had to talk about with friends for days after I beat it. It was complex, and emotionally draining. This isn't a game you beat. It's a game that beats you relentlessly until you are either numb, angry, sad, or conflicted. The fact it could take me to those places was fascinating.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From what I understand there are 3 main issues people have with this incredible game. 1. Wokeness: I understand the curiosity and confusion that comes with encountering a non-gender conforming person. I know that most people will think that the inclusion of so many LGBT people in this game was done so that they could appear woke. However I think that critique comes from people who don’t have a lot of diversity in their own lives. There will eventually be a time where LGBT characters in main roles will be not controversial at all, maybe when our own lives are equally diverse. O

    2. The villain:I hated Abby from the moment that she killed Joel and when I had to play her I was annoyed. I kept on dying whenever I was forced To attack Elli. I didn’t believe that it was fair for Abby to get a redemptive art after she completed her revenge against Joel. I found it annoying and not believable whenever she all of a sudden took interest in taking care of two children. It felt forced But then at the end, she was given redemption by caring more about the life of that kid than her own. It wasn’t until the very end that I actually liked Abby and found myself trying to stop Ali from killing her. I don’t know if I wanna ever see her again but I’m glad I met her. 3. The Ending: The best part of the last game was the ethical dilemma at the end. I never thought that Joel should have killed all the fire flies and stop the creation of a cure so that Ellie could live. At the very end of this game, we realize that all we went through to kill Abby was for nothing. Right before Abby’s last breath Ellie suddenly sees a glimpse of a memory that saves Abby’s life. Later on we see the full memory. Ellie is mad at Joel because now Ali has to find meaning in her life. Before she knew her meeting, she was a cure . Now she has to be like the rest of us and find our own lives’ meaning. Ellie has to find a meaning for her life. At the very end we don’t know a lot about what Ellie wants her life‘s meaning to be, but we know that it doesn’t even involve more senseless death and that’s why Abby gets to live.    … Expand

It has received so much polarising views probably for the reason that it takes our beloved characters in the first game, and subjects them to very difficult circumstances. Decisions that made narrative sense, and gave the story meaning and weight. The game also introduces a roster of new characters that are not immediately likeable, but i personally grew to understand and love. The game mechanics is also stellar, improving on the all the good parts of the first game, and introducing a few new and fun things. Graphics are top notch.

    Naughty Dog could have just made another fun stealth zombie shooter like the first game, but they chose to do that while also telling a story that questions themes such as violence, tribalism, and how humans deal with loss, grief, and vengeance. I personally feel like this was an ambitious take that paid off, and has raised the bar for videogames, to affect people on the level of art. Thats not to say videogame isn't already art. It takes a team of various skillsets to make any videogame. and it takes them years to get a game into the hands of gamers who could easily disparage it even without playing it . So if you've read the leaks and dislike what you read, or you've heard a lot of vitriolic comments about the game but havent tried it for yourself, do give it a fair knock before writing it off. you may not agree with all of the choices ND made in this game which is completely fair, but you will definitely get something out of it!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU Part II, à mes yeux, égale, voir surpasse la première partie sur tous les points :
    - Visuellement, ce jeu est magnifique. Dans bien des scènes, aucun mot n'est nécessaire pour comprendre les émotions des personnages, tant les expressions faciales sont impressionnantes de réalisme. Les décors, les paysages, ... Tout est sublime.
    - La musique, moins présente que dans le premier, est toujours aussi puissante
    - Le Gameplay reste fidèle à ce qui avait été fait dans le premier, et ça fonctionne toujours aussi bien. On y trouve de nouvelles armes, la faculté de ramper, les chiens qui ajoutent une pression supplémentaire, ...
    - Pour l'histoire, on est sur une histoire de vengeance "classique" MAIS la narration fait toute la différence ; les choix scénaristiques sont plutôt culottés, faire mourir Joel dans les 2 premières heures du jeu allait forcément diviser. Sa mort est brutale, rapide, et l'envie de vengeance est forte. Dans la deuxième partie, on incarne Abby, la personne ayant tué Joel. Choix risqué, le but étant de nous faire comprendre son point de vue. Même si au début je la détestais, cela a bien fonctionné pour moi, j'ai même fini par m'attacher à elle, et à espérer qu'elle survive, tout comme Ellie.
    La fin est glaçante, Ellie a tout perdu, et son pire cauchemar se réalise : elle est toute seule, toutes les personnes qu'elle a aimé sont mortes, ou l'ont abandonnée.
    Les flashback de Ellie avec Joel sont très touchants, et le jeu nous fait traverser tout le spectre des émotions.
    - L'accessibilité du jeu est un exemple à suivre pour toutes les futures productions, permettant aux personnes avec un handicap de profiter de l'expérience.

    Consciente que ce jeu va diviser pour son audace, il restera pour moi un chef-d’œuvre pour toutes ses qualités.    … Expand

    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]
