    One of the greatest games of all time, that’s for sure. Despite the story hating, I should say game’s story is very deep dived into the grey morality, and it’s implementation is great, Naughty Dog made a good job. Gameplay, audio and visual environment is absolutely persistent, nobody can’t deny this.

    Perfect storytelling and character development. If you genuinely didn't like it, it means you're too emotionally weak and not mature enough to live a deep story like this. Stop writing how the story is trash, because it's not and you're just an idiot

    Loved the gameplay, loved the story, loved the variety! I really don’t understand the hate. Yes I hate Abby, but after a while, I found that her and Elly were quite similar!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are great aswell as the attention to detail, gameplay is nice because it innovates from the first but doesn’t stray to far from the original but I think the story was disappointing. If you started with Abby’s sections and Ellie and Joel flashbacks the game could of been better then but I couldn’t sympathise with Abby because it’s depicts her as the villain but then ten switches her to the victim it doesn’t move me. I’m fine with Ellie and Dina being lesbians and Lev being exiled actually fells like that would happen with a cult but it just doesn’t make me feel like I should care for some deaths like Jesse, Owen or anyone else because there isn’t enough time with them to fully develop with me.… Expand

    I never go out of my way to rate things like this, but I felt like the baseless vitriol surrounding this game needed a bit of a counterbalance. This game is objectively excellent on nearly every front. Stop acting like children or you'll discourage this type of world-class storytelling in AAA games and we'll be stuck with endless Fortnites.

Old and boring game play, boring walking sequences, narrative dissonance (our town has not much ammo but we hunt zombies with firearms, not with crossbows, bows, etc., there is apocalypse, the humanity is dying so we just watch lesbians having sex, little girls capable of killing strong entities almost with bare hands, etc., etc., etc.), boring mechanics that require zero strategical thinking.… Expand

    The point of the game is pretty clear and well represented , this game is about hate and revenge and what this can carry to yourself and others,
    that this acts should bring you nothing but bad things.
    But of course you prefer to judge or cry because something happen and you don't like it, it's fine if you don't, but
    let other people enjoy it if the want to.
    One last thought if you have a problem with what people like, first that sad, you should really talk to someone about it, and
    live your life without making sure that everyone is the same.    … Expand

    Words can't describe how good this game was. Just play it through from start to finish, and then make your judgement about it. The game takes its time to craft its massive story, and it will be rewarding if you let it.

    Naughty Dog, never would I have thought you'd do this.

    Their are few video game studios out in this world that I believe to be "True to their craft". Santa Monica Studios, CD Projekt Red, Rockstar, Insomniacgames & Naughty Dog

    "The Last of us - Part II" is a true masterpiece that even surpasses the first part. The story is dark, hard, and quite brutal on an emotional and physical level, with emotionally moving and tender moments. The game wisely and consistently continues the ending of the first game, further characterizes the protagonists and even takes the time to humanize and emotionalize the antagonists, so"The Last of us - Part II" is a true masterpiece that even surpasses the first part. The story is dark, hard, and quite brutal on an emotional and physical level, with emotionally moving and tender moments. The game wisely and consistently continues the ending of the first game, further characterizes the protagonists and even takes the time to humanize and emotionalize the antagonists, so that we also cheer with them. Telling the story in different timelines gives the story more complexity and cleverly fills the gaps between part 1 and 2. The end is open in the tradition of part 1, which leaves us somewhat depressed, but as in part 1 as well with a little hope. Conclusion of the story: masterful, relentless, emotional The technical side is at least as impressive. Like "The Last of us", "The Last of us - Part II" is an unparalleled audiovisual experience, I missed the wonderfully melancholic music of the first part here, but the game is graphically and atmospherically a feast for the eyes. While you strolled through the melancholic post-apocalypse of North America from time to time in decelerated moments in the first game, you are literally overwhelmed by the thoroughly depressing atmosphere, soaked with sadness, anger and despair. The cold and dreary bluish cast, as well as the seeded colors always convey a feeling of threat, discomfort and despair. The graphics offer a cinematic experience in cutscenes and create an incredible level of realism in the game, especially in combination with the excellent motion capturing and the acting. The game sometimes offers certain moments when there is an epic visually that is not only unusual for both games, but is generally comparable to nothing that I have seen in the medium so far. Images that completely say goodbye to the melancholy in part 1 and drift off into the realm of the doomsday scene. The gameplay is basically the same as in the predecessor, of course has been expanded a bit, but is just as in part 1 excellent, exciting, stressful, clever survival action. Conclusion on the technical side: Just like part 1, this game will inspire us even in 10 years. General conclusion: "The Last of us Part II" is an unquestionable masterpiece at every level, on which one can evaluate a game. The successor shows once again the greatest strength of the series, the story-telling, while the story in part 1 was quite simple, which was offset by the excellent story-telling, the story could not be more complex, complex and emotional. We are always offered exciting gameplay, supported by overwhelming graphics, great sound, etc. Of course, the story provides material for discussion, but it will be continued consistently and logically with regard to the end of part 1. I think that's what it means that every decision has consequences and that even when the world ends, we are still human beings and everyone has a story, emotions, fears, hopes and is ready to fight for what is important to him. Ellie and Abby are only 2 sides of the same coin. Still, despite all the harshness, brutality, and mercilessness, the game does something that other games just don't. It takes time for calm, tender, soulful moments, moments that seem trivial, dialogues, moments in which the characters are characterized and humanized. I could go on forever, but I'm just getting to the final conclusion: it's a wonderful but hard masterpiece, the story is brilliant, I can only say it's the best game I've ever played, my absolute favorite.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From a writing standpoint, the first game was a quality movie, and this game with all the exposition and tell don't show -mentality, is an okay tv-series.

    Naughty Dog doesn't know how to make a bad game if you just look at the graphics and the mechanics, although not everything is perfect in the combat/stealth/puzzle and whatnot sections. Still very enjoyable though! The problem is the story. Deep flaws in logic, things without explanation, and the worst thing of all, watering down the characters and changing them profoundly, again, without the logic.

    One flashback scene with Joel and Ellie tops all other parts in this game. And really it isn't even a surprise. One quality scene vs lackluster tv-writing and directing... Is this the new standard?

    I don't remember Nate getting his head bashed in after killing thousands of people in Uncharted games. Although now that i think about it... i haven't played the Lost Legacy!

    My advice to gaming studios as a random player without absolutely no authority and experience in making a game: quit while you're ahead, and make other games.

    My advice to owners and producers: milk the cow dry, just as you did here. Nicely done.    … 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]
