    This game challenged me as a player and I don't think it's unfair to say it made me better as a person.

    In my opinion the story is actually pretty interesting but also kinda sad.

    I heard that many people complain about the story but I actually think that the story is just realistic because of course in a zombie apocalypse it probably would be even harder to be able to trust someone than in our world and of course one would lose their loved ones due to either some zombie infecting or killing them to survive or even take revenge.

    Now for people who haven't played the game or didn't see the ending yet then I warned you; Spoiler alert!!

    I heard many comments of people saying that the story of the game wasn't really great or even trash. Some people said that the game is trash either because of Joel's death or because of a bad ending or I even heard a few people saying that they don't like that game because of Ellie being lgbtq and stuff.
    I heard that some didn't even see the whole game and already don't like the game. Some even said not to buy the game...
    Now I don't mean to attack the people who don't like the story or the game itself but I think that it's actually kinda sad that so many people hate the game already because of the story. But like myself of course everyone has their own opinion and everyone has the right to share their own opinion to the game with others.
    The story is actually pretty intersting but also kinda sad because of stuff like Joel's death and Ellie being alone in the end. It's only realistic that people like Joel die one day because one way or another everyone dies one day. I can understand why Joel got killed, it's because he just had many enemies and the killed people to survive just like everyone else. And Abby in this case wanted to take revenge. After Joel's death Ellie wanted to take revenge on the people who killed Joel and that's completely understandable because I would probably do the same. I think that Ellie actually made the right decision to let Abby go in the end and if Ellie killed Abby then there's a possibility that Lev wants to take revenge on Ellie if he survived his injuries. In the world of the last of us it's really hard to trust someone because everyone has to fight to survive.
    It's just sad that Ellie was completely alone in the end especially to think that in the first part of the last of us she said that she was afraid to end up alone one day.

    The graphics of the game itself were perfect. It even had so many little beautiful details that made the game so realistic. It's just amazing.

    Stuff like the health bar or listen mode were actually a little better in the first game of the last of us. The health bar was better in the first game because it was easier to see how much health you have left and the listen mode was also better because you could see a little better which way your opponent was facing.

    So in my opinion the game was just really beautfiul and realistic.    … Expand

    Jogo maravilhoso, com uma história corajosa muito bem contada, que faz o jogador refletir em cima de seus próprios pensamentos. Além disso, tem gráficos sensacionais, muitas coisas para fazer, mesmo sendo um jogo linear, além de um sistema de combate refinado que te deixa tenso todas as vezes!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, well, well. For the past 7 years, I have never wanted anything as badly as I wanted a TLOU sequel. Nothing at all. It was my favorite game of all time, apart from Bioshock, and I gotta say, I'm disappointed. The scenery and the graphics are all gorgeous. The gameplay was basically the same as last time around, which I have no problem with. But the story? The story was a gut punch. Kudos to the dev team for wanting to try something different, I have no problem with that and I respect their choice to do so. Killing Joel was a perfectly fine way to go, I think that idea was good for the overall story and furthering Ellie's story. But man, after 7 years of waiting to keep going along for the ride with Ellie and all the promotional stuff leading us to believe we were in it for the long haul with Ellie, boom, HALF OF THE STORY FOLLOWS THE WOMAN WHO KILLED THE (albeit terrible human being) MAN WE LOVED. That's why this game disappointed me. Was Abby's story empathic and a cool twist that we weren't expecting? Of course. I have no issue with dabbling in that territory. But good lord, for half of the game? A game that was what, 30 hours long? Nope, sorry that ain't it chief. Cut a 3rd of the game out, let Ellie get her revenge (or let her live like she did in the game, I don't care), and then let's move on and give Ellie more to do. More to overcome, more to grow in her new post-Joel life with Dina. Do I understand Abby and her motivations? Yes. Was her storyline with Lev endearing? Yes. Do I care about it? No, not really. This was supposed to be Ellie's story and it ended up being half her story. It was a new and ambitious way to tell a story, but to me personally, it just didn't really hit. I could never bring myself to really care about Abby's character. I'm 1000% envious of the people who could really get into her character and loved her and loved that story dynamic, and maybe I will too after another play-through or two. But my instant feelings are one of disappointment, but that's just one humble mans opinion. Oh, and to all the people bashing the game over its LGBTQ inclusion, 2 female leads or anything stupid like that, it's 2020. Grow up already. Dislike the game for real reasons, not bigoted, idiotic ones.… Expand

I think most people didn’t give this game a chance to tell its story after Joel’s death,Trust me even I was Mad when joel died but this universe is a dark world and everyone is just trying to survive. For me this deserves game of the year as i see no other game which made feel this way it was a roller coaster of emotions , The story telling of this game was a very bold move they could have gone the easy way out and made it a happy ending but naughty dog always does the unthinkable which is question ourselves xD. The first game ending made us have alot of questions and soo does the second part as well. Dont know if i really want a third part but in naughty dog i trust!

Nothing quite like pursuing a justified yet irrational revenge killing from both sides of the story. It's a shame there's so many people who can't appreciate that or accept that when faced with death and rage, people do rash things. One of my favorites now, for sure.… Expand

    Selten ist die Fortsetzung eines Videospiel Franchises zu polarisierend aufgenommen worden, wie im Falle eines TLOU Part 2. Sei es nun der umstrittene Storyplott, die Art wie Naughty Dog ihre Charaktere weiter entwickelt oder aber die gesellschaftlichen Diskurse, die das Sequel vom vielleicht meistgefeiertesten Spiel des letzten Jahrzehnts aufgreift. Sagen wir einmal so - Vermutlich istSelten ist die Fortsetzung eines Videospiel Franchises zu polarisierend aufgenommen worden, wie im Falle eines TLOU Part 2. Sei es nun der umstrittene Storyplott, die Art wie Naughty Dog ihre Charaktere weiter entwickelt oder aber die gesellschaftlichen Diskurse, die das Sequel vom vielleicht meistgefeiertesten Spiel des letzten Jahrzehnts aufgreift. Sagen wir einmal so - Vermutlich ist The Last of Us Part II das mutigste Spiel der Videospielgeschichte.

    The Last of Us Part 2 ist nämlich viel mehr als eine Rachestory. Und The Last of Us Part 2 ist viel mehr als eine "wokes" Postapokalypse Drama. Und nein, Naughty Dog geht auch nicht brutal mit ihren Charakteren um, die das Publikum so lieben gelernt hat, nur um zu schockieren. Ich glaube, wer The Last of Us Part 2 an dieser Stelle plump kritisiert, der zeigt am Ende nur, dass er selbst nicht die Eier hat, die Naughty Dog beweist, in dem sie die Welt, die sie selbst geschrieben haben, bis in die letzte Konsequenz ernst nehmen.

    The Last of Us thematisiert eine gewaltdurchsetzte Welt. Eine Welt, in der Utopien keinen Platz haben. Wo jeder Versuch von Menschlichkeit immer wieder von der feindlichen Umwelt konterkariert wird. Dieser destruktive Kreislauf der Gewalt wird einerseits im Rahmen der unterschiedlichen Fraktionen und Gemeinschaften thematisiert, dich sich regional organsiert haben und von denen keine einen gewaltfreien Herrschaftsraum realisieren konnten. Zum anderen spiegelt er sich in der ganz persönlichen Geschichte von Ellie und Joel, die beide Außenseiter blieben, auch hinter den dicken Mauern von Jackson, da sie ihrer Geschichte, der Vergangenheit nicht entfliehen können.
    Letztlich gibt die Geschichte, die Naughty Dog erzählen will, beiden Charakteren keine wirkliche Chance auf Unversehrtheit. Das letzte Bild von Ellie, die aufgrund ihrer Versehrtheit nun keine Gitarre mehr spielen kann, das letzte was ihr geblieben ist von Joel, kann man hier als Metapher für die ganze Erzählung lesen. Es geht nicht um Rache. Der Geschichte geht es darum zu zeigen, dass es in einer Welt voller Gewalt kein Entkommen gibt, keine Unversehrtheit. The Last of Us konsequent gedacht, konnte nie auf das Happy End einer Disney-Erzählung hinauslaufen. Konnte nie Helden zeichnen, die am Ende geläutert und unversehrt für das Gute an sich stehen. The Last of Us musste in einer Zerbrochenheit enden, wenn es sich als Erzählung ernst nehmen will. Hier hat Naughty Dog den Mut bewiesen, den man den Autoren der letzten Game of Thrones Staffel auch gewünscht hätte, damit diese den Zuschauern, oder eben Spielern, am Ende eben nicht die große Erlösung vorzugaukeln, die man sich kollektiv eben wünscht, um beruhigt schlafen zu können.

    The Last of Us Part 2 ist keine Unterhaltung. Es ist kein Disney Kinofilm. The Last of Us Part 2 ist ein Drama. Ähnlich wie Kojima mit Death Stranding, oder Ninja Theory mit Hellblade, sprengt auch Naughty Dog die Grenzen, des oftmals als oberflächlich belächelten Mediums Videospiel und erzählt eine Geschichte für Erwachsene. Ja, das ist nichts für Disney Fans, die immer noch mit ihren Spider-Man oder Star Wars Plastikpuppen spielen wollen.

    Und mal ganz abgesehen von den erzählerischen Qualitäten des Titels, auch hinsichtlich Gameplay, Animationen, KI, Inszenierung und Atmosphäre - Mit The Last of Us Part 2 setzt Naughty Dog neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Immersion und Realismus. Noch nie hat ein Videospiel sich so echt und intensiv angefühlt. Von der ersten bis zur letzten schrecklichen Minute.

    Ein Must Play für Jedermann und -Frau, die wirklich Eier hat.    … Expand

    Nothing short of a masterpiece.

    I won't get into the gameplay and graphics, because everyone, even the bad reviewers, know that these are top of the range. I will focus on the story. If you go into this game with story/character expectations, then you will be disappointed. This IS NOT The Last of Us 1.5, this is an entirely new, more realistic, more human, game.

This IS NOT The Last of Us 1.5, this is an entirely new, more realistic, more human, game. Go into this game with an open mind, and it will stay with you for a LONG time afterwards. Characters you hate at the start (one in particular) are so well developed that you understand, if not like them, by the end. The same happens for the hero characters, you will disagree with their actions throughout the game, and your opinion on them will be changed, because they are painted as real humans, making real human decisions, some good and some bad. The game is made up of morally grey characters, unlike most games made up of black and white characters.

    All the above isn't just good or bad writing, but excellent writing. The story is fantastic, gut wrenching, spellbinding, and most importantly real - or as much real as it can be in a post-apoc setting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, it's not a bad game, but not a good one either.
    In my opinion, the story is decent, not nearly as good as the first game's story, but still ok. The biggest flaw it has is the presentation and the order the events are shown in.
    Abby is a decent character, and to be honest I found myself more invested in her story than in Ellie's mainly because she doesn't appear as just a character dominated by one single wish which is to take revenge, although I must admit that they forced you a bit too much to care for her. Her killing Joel would have been better if the players knew who she was and why she did it first, instead of her showing up out of nowhere and bam, Joel's now dead.
    I'm really bothered by the fact that Joel was reduced to having two appearances before dying, which is a horrible decision. Why not show the flashbacks first and tell the story chronologically? Just a horrible decision overall.
    Also, I didn't find myself caring about any of the new characters they introduced besides Abby, which was because they shoved the fact that you must care about her for the story to work, and all the deaths in this game carry nothing with them, not even a trace of significance for the plot or the characters.
    Also, what's with all the SJW stuff in the game, like all the male characters that matter to the story besides Tommy and Lev dying until the end? They were just not necessary and they don't bring anything to the game besides pleasing hardcore feminists or whatever.
    The character development for Ellie is just a mess. Besides the final farm scenes where she maybe kinda tries to walk away from what happened for what felt like 5 minutes, she's just a bland character obsessed with revenge.
    The gameplay, although it doesn't bring many new stuff to the first game's gameplay, was more fun mainly because the fights were more satisfying, and you have more ways to play the game in a stealth fashion with craftable silencers and bows that are straightforward to aim with.
    Scavenging is pretty fun, although a bit excessive at times, with the absurd amount of safes that you have to find codes for.
    The graphics, environment and voice acting are just amazing, no other way to put it.

    Overall, it's certainly not a bad game, but the story is just a mess in the way it's presented and gameplay can feel a bit exhausting at times.

    TL DR :
    Graphics - 10/10
    Gameplay - 8/10

I love the symmetry of the story telling between both characters you play and in turn we see the protagonists became what they hated most and the struggle to come to terms with their new normal and place in this unforgiving world. I love that Ellie realizes that the grey area Joel lived in, his motivations ,and his choices reflected her own. In the end there are no happy endings if consumed by revenge. In this new world you have to carve out peace, love, contentment, and forgive or be consumed by the continuous cycle of violence and death.… Expand

    People who are giving this game a bad review can't get over the fact that the main characters are not white males. So stupid. This is by far one of the greatest games ever made. It's a story of how obsession can cause one to lose everything they love and how love in turn can help overcome obsession. It's a work of brutal art. Well worth the wait and multiple playthroughs.

    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.
