I too have waited a very long time to play this game, I purchased it on release (my birthday), and while I found it a little slow to start with, I now find myself at the mid point in the game completely invested in the story and it's characters. The gameplay is amazing, and without any doubt this is the best looking game on the ps4. Very few games have compelled me to play through them again, however I played through the first game in this series several times, and once I have finished this game I can see myself doing exactly the same. It's a great game, experience, emotional rollercoaster filled with tender moment, heart stopping scares, great action and amazing presentation. It's not going to be for everyone, it can be tough at times, frustrating even, being hunted by a bunch of infected with no supplies is a scenario I have found myself dying in time and time again, but it is rewarding too. In my opinion, and I may be wrong, this is the game PS4 will be remembered for, and I would encourage anybody to at the very least try it. Maybe my opinion will change when the end game credits start to roll, but unless naughty dog have done something seriously wrong with the second half of this game, it's s perfect 10 for me.… Expand

    It is unbelievable the amount of hate this game has gotten, being the MASTERPIECE it is.
    If you want your run-of-the-mill vengeful hero story, look somewhere else. This transcends that...
    The narrative is built in such a way that tries to make you understand the other side of the events. There is no good/evil, no white/black, just a grey messy circle of vengeance that spirals down into chaos.

    WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
    ***********

    Many people dislike the fact that Joel dies and the way he does. Of course I do, too. But if you were expecting a fairytale where everyone lives happily ever after, then you didn't even understand the ending of the first game.

    I think the main point people who dislike the game are missing is the parallel between Joel and Ellie's story and Abby's story.
    Don't get me wrong, I HATED Abby, but at least I understand the motives behind her actions. I think the game makes a great job putting things into perspective. She isn't just a mindless evil villain, who enjoys killing. She is also a daughter, a friend, a PERSON.
    Imagine she, her friends and her father were the protagonists of the first game. Then we would be rooting for them instead.
    It seems that people missed the similarities between Abby/Lev and Joel/Ellie, too... but I want to keep this review short, so find them yourself ;)

    Speaking of Joel and Ellie, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to develop their relationship after the ending of the first game. Those flashback-scenes are truly amazingly crafted tear-jerkers: beautiful, heartwarming and bittersweet.

    ************
    END OF SPOILERS
    ************

    To sum things up and make a point, you should be open minded when playing this game. Don't expect some cliché narrative. Be prepared for some major twists and try to understand them.
    This game is truly an emotional roller coaster.
    The long awaited sequel to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is a MASTERPIECE that lives up to it's name. PERIOD    … Expand

    Took me a month to finish the game (because you know, work responsibilities).

    Despite the negative reviews, I'd give this game a 10/10. It talks about a lot of important issues, (Ellie being a lesbian for one) but i personally can relate to the Ellie and Joel relationship.

    Worth every peso i spent to get this game at launch

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I grew to love Abbey immensely, I really enjoyed playing as her, I felt her love for her Dad and Owen. I loved her strength.

    It was brutal playing as Ellie in that fight on the beach. I kept just backing away, as I felt that Ellie should realise that they both have lost people that they love, that they are both the same inside, and that all this retaliation is pointless. I guess she did in the end but it should have been before that fight when they were both on their knees. I know Ellie wants that final revenge that Abbey got with Joel, but Ellie forgave Joel (or at least tried to understand him) for stopping the Fireflies from killing her, did Ellie finally also resonate with Abbey's hurt, when it was almost too late? It's all so tough and heartbreaking for them all. I now want to follow Abbey and Lev after they leave on the boat. I'm sad that Abbey can't go and visit Owen in the Aquarium.    … Expand

    this project in my opinion can leave different emotions for everyone. For me, the main plot is not violence that generates even more violence, but revenge that cannot be stopped. In the end, Ellie understands this and so came the finale from which I had goosebumps all over my body. Not everyone will understand this project as I understood it    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredible game, a true masterpiece. Nothing is black and white, every story has multiple sides to it. This game is about ending the cycle of violence and seeing that hurting and taking away other peoples lives and happiness won't help you or bring back the people you've lost, but stopping before you become a true monster will bring back the light you've lost, whether that be through saving others and becoming their family, or realising that you're hurting your family and you need to help yourself and then help them so you can really find peace and happiness together. I also thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, the stealth aspect of the gameplay is phenomenal, so much fun to do, and there are so many ways through scenarios, whether that be avoiding all together or sneaking or just going full ham. I ended up adoring every single character by the end of it, and really empathised with each one and their individual struggles. Made me laugh, made me sob crying, made me angry, made me feel peace. What an amazing game to do that and put me through all these emotions, especially with hating certain characters, and coming to understand and then love them. This is what games should be about, not trying to do what they know fans will like that would be repetitive, but something truly unique, giving us a new story and a push forward. I havent stopped thinking about it!! Massively reccomend.… Expand

Complimenti a tutta la naughty dog il finale mi ha spiazzata, bellissimo dove comprendi la vera rabbia di Ellie,il miglior finale che potessero fare.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is so much to say about this game. I absolutely loved this game! No matter what the detractors say because they love Joel and Ellie so much, everyone has to admit that the storyline was good because it made you feel some kind of way when situations happened to the characters and THAT is what makes the game good! At first I was rooting for Ellie and Joel and when it cane time to play as Abby I literally was thinking to myself “well screw her! I’m just gonna play her and do the minimum!”. I couldn’t stand her at first, but then I started seeing all that she had gone through in the game, why she did the things she did and started realizing, hey she does have a heart and NO she didn’t kill Joel for no apparent reason whatsoever! The only scientist/doctor (that anyone was aware of) that could potentially create a vaccine and save humanity is dead because of Joel! I don’t think people really let that sink in because they want to marry Joel and Ellie so bad. The characters Joel and Ellie were good people in their own way, but Abby was good in her own way as well. It just takes seeing things from another person’s shoes rather than your own selfish viewpoint just because Joel was killed. There wouldn’t be a story if everyone lived. There wouldn’t be dialogue between people about the game either. What would there be? Bigger monsters and tiptoeing through the tulips? Come on people! Abby was after the cause of her pain and sorrow. She didn’t want anybody dead but him, she could have killed Ellie as well, but she didn’t because Ellie wasn’t the source of her distress. It was Joel. No one can tell me they would have done things differently if they were in her shoes! Most people would’ve prolly killed Ellie too, but Abby showed her humanity and it’s wild to me how people didn’t see it! The last fight was brutal and over the top and it showed me that Ellie was kind of crazed during the fight. Abby only fought Ellie to save this teenage boys life. She didn’t even want to do it! Ellie didn’t give two licks. Her humanity was nearly gone. She didn’t care what was going on around her, she only saw one thing and that was to see Abby dead. In the end people really need to play the game in its entirety, PROCESS what happened (if they can’t while playing) and then write a review. Don’t write a review based on love for characters in the last game. Don’t write a review when you haven’t completed the game or based off leaks. I’m only saying this because I know someone who has an opinion opposite mine that hasn’t played the game and thank goodness they didn’t write a review just because of things they seen in leaks and reviews from people who haven’t played.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я в восторге. Игра с самого старта заставляет нас выйти из зоны комфорта, улизнуть не получится. Двигаясь по сюжету, испытываешь весь спектр эмоций: от ненависти и страха до любви и бесстрашия. Разработчики ловко играют на наших чувствах: сперва заставляя возненавидеть одних героев и полюбить других, приглашая затем взглянуть на ситуацию с обратной стороны. Здесь нет антагонистов и протагонистов, каждый в итоге решает сам для себя, кто ему ближе и понятнее. Понятно лишь одно: ненависть порождает ненависть.
    Игра окунает нас в уже полюбившийся всем нам мир после катастрофы, мир, где на каждом шагу подстерегает смертельная опасность. Дьявол в мелочах. Каждая локация уникальна, интересна, со своей историей. Окружение настолько детализировано, что можно надолго залипнуть, разглядывая семейные фотографии, книги, брошенные детские игрушки. В каждой новой комнате нас ожидает сюрприз. Пробежать игру по сюжету, не обратив на всё это внимание - непростительная оплошность. Игра отлично оптимизирована: огромный мир и отличнейшая графика без единого намёка на проседания. Для Playstation 4 FAT первой ревизии - это отличный результат.

    Game is perfect! Despite the hatred of the game, its gameplay is perfect, the enemies' AI is surprising, a good combat system and a narrative that supports us in detail. It is not a story for anyone. Game is cruel and bloody, giving you the reality of an apocalyptic world, I recommend to everyone to give the game a chance for the game, and do not go after hate.

Story: It's dark and great, It's not boring at all and yeah sometimes this game slap you in the face because the last of us two shows you never know when you die or how you or someone you love die, I had a problem when people say: OHH why you killed Joel he was a nice guy he is my HERO!!!!!, No he wasn't, After his daughter died he always makes sure everything happens don't hurt him and its really selfish. he killed so many people because he didn't want to lose someone again. and because of that nobody cant makes the cure. Yeah, Joel died really harsh, and it was too much and Ellie sometimes being dumb and she did some dumb thing, Oh and that sex scene was really disgusting.
    I love the gameplay and graphics.

So many people are hating on this game and it really saddens me that people get too caught up in what they want to happen that they let it ruin the experience of a masterpiece that is here to tell it's story, not the easy story that some people wanted. This game has improved upon the first in terms of
    game play, graphics, and all the technical aspects (voice acting and music and phenomenal) but this game also manages to deliver another amazing story with compelling characters and interesting moral dilemmas. Naughty Dog really knows how to make amazing characters and this game proves it and the naysayers are just mad that the story didn't go the way they wanted and that instead it tells a darker, messier, and ultimately better story than just your run of the mill revenge story. Bravo Naughty Dog, you've done it again. A must play and another classic and unforgettable experience. Don't let negative reviews keep you from experiencing this yourself, I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.

    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]
