    Masterpiece. Jaw-dropping visuals, soundtracks, audio, acting and story. 10/10. Stop hating if you don’t understand the story.

I do not like certain things in life but have learned to accept them. I don’t agree with certain things in the LGBQT community but that doesn’t mean they are bad people. I absolutely loved the first game. Replayed it more times than I can count. When I first found out that Ellie was a lesbian I was a little apprehensive but I love that character regardless. I loved playing as Joel and his story and character arc. I am upset what happens to Joel but the overall story and how it plays out is tremendous in my opinion. This ranks in the top 5 for me and my tastes in gaming. Some might think that my tastes are terrible then. That’s your opinion and you are entitled to that. Thank you Naughty Dog for creating another game that I can lose myself in yet again.… Expand

    O jogo passou uma mensagem boa, apesar de muita gente não ter gostado de como ele passou. Mas o jogo é bom. Pessoal tem que crescer e deixar de passar ódio por conta de um jogo que não foi como eles queriam.

    Still getting over the emotional rollercoaster. I loved every second of it. You just need to see past you own interest and start seeing the game for what it wants to convey. Awesome job. The fact that people got so mad made this perfectly clear. The only problem was that they were overestimating the emotional intelligence of the average male.

Aside from the story, the technical achievements of the game objectively are improvements over what was offered in Part I- gameplay mechanics, environments, visuals, sound, and acting (facial animations are insane), and enemy AI. To sum up my take on this game, I experienced a necessary, satisfying, and compelling continuation of the story provided in Part I. I cannot imagine a more fitting continuation of the story, and I recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Part I.… Expand

Il n'est peut être pas parfait, mais je lui met la note maximale, parce que je sais que son histoire, ces choix pris par le studio, le message qu'ils ont voulu envoyer, m'a marqué poue des années et des années, j'ai aimé être bousculé, déstabliser.. surpris. Et pour moi ces choix sont parfaits compte tenu du thème du jeu. le fait de nous imposer de jouer l'antagoniste et de voir les raisons pour lesquelles elle a agit ainsi est brillant. comment comprendre le concept de cycle de vengeance, sans montrer les deux cotés ? le jeu est très bien écrit contrairement a ce que certains disent. ces personnes se cachent derrière l,expression "Bad Writing" car il ne supportent pas qu'on les force a voir ou a comprendre les motivation de Abby ..et même en leur montrant que sa vengence est tout aussi légitime que celle de Ellie ... ils la refusent. c'est un manque de maturité assez hallucinant. Ils faudrait grandir un peu.. c'est tellement plus facile de détester quelqu'un que de comprendre le pourquoi de leurs actions.... ces gens sont ridicules. concernant les graphismes c'est le jeu le plus detaillé que j'ai jamais vu, c'est dingue, le Gameplay est certes pas révolutionnaire, mais il est très solide et plutot jouissif, bande son exceptionelle. bref pour moi cest du 10… Expand

The critics on some story beats may be justified but for me felt so minor in the scope of the whole thing! I could connect to the main characters but you have to bring a ton of empathy and general interest for a story with consequences and unconventional pacing into it. (The pacing is actually the only thing I would have wished were different). Overall great experience which should not be missed.

    Review: I believed the story to be overall great. If you go into the game without knowing or hearing of the leaks, much of it would be considered to be unpredictable. It’s told in a way that really lets you understand how a character you seemingly at first despise, you can learn to understand and sympathize with and see how a story of revenger can ultimately unfold when you explore both perspectives of two different yet seemingly alike individuals. I enjoyed this games story for what it brought to the table and how it attempted to create a different story arc than what we may have originally expected. I do say a beloved character will be missed and although I hate they way they spit on this character for the sake of the narrative, I appreciate the sprinkled moments of joy found with this character that explore further some times after the events of the original game. Eventually towards the end it all comes full circle and leaves you with an empty somber feeling. This by no means is a bad thing.

    In a imperfect world like much of our own, we make decisions that breed consequences.

    **** happens and you find a reason to move on. Gameplay and User Interfaces: 9 / 10

    Review: The gameplay is a lot of fun and vastly improves Upon the first with adding verticality with the ability to jump. I love the variety of weapons introduced and the fact that you can upgrade them through these very neatly detailed work benches. The menus are clean and very detailed with lots of customization options in terms of the game difficulty, audio and accessibility settings for those with certain disabilities.

    This game takes all of its features and builds upon the originals to make vast bug improvements both appealing to the eyes and in terms of usability. Music: 9 / 10 Review: The tones and music is a great mix of the traditional Last of Us music and more modern ambient sounds and beats to build up tension and sink you further into the moment when things are going to hit the fan. Moments where you face humans are full of great audio build up as well as when you are facing infected.

    I felt hyped for the upcoming battles similar to in Days Gone which is great use of music to build up the suspense and tension. Personally loved it. Environments: 8 / 10 The environments in the game varied enough to breathe different air periodically and although you had so many different settings It did feel like primarily you were in the same main environment type but that may have been due to the weather Seattle mainly being a very wet environment. The set pieces for the levels are favorites of mine. You get everything I would Have hoped for and I truly enjoyed the more horror aspects if the game. They truly took it up a notch and laid these areas out perfectly. My overall score is a 9. I feel that they truly hit all the right notes in terms of environments, gameplay, customization options, graphics, music and most importantly the story. Some improvement can be made in terms of infected enemy types, would love to see more creative ways to kill some big ones as opposed to just guns blazing. I would also like there to be more in regards to evolution of the infected. It seemed to just get brushed over in the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you really enjoyed the first game because of how beautiful the story was and the relationships in that story, and if you found yourself attached to the characters at all, you will NOT enjoy this game nearly as much, if at all. It’s almost like the COMPLETE FORGOT why the first the last of us was so successful and adored, and has such obsessive fans. If you’re playing this game without playing the first one then it will be moving and emotional and a nice rollercoaster. But if you are playing this game off of excitement after the first game you WILL be disappointed. I played the first one with my friends and family and we all continuously said we’d love to see Ellie and Joel to grow together. And they all said there favourite character and one of the only reasons they liked the first game was because of Joel and his relationship with Ellie, then to see him die at the start of the game completely ruins the idea of the game. It’s like going on call of duty and removing all guns from the game.

    The good parts about the game I would say are the aesthetics are beautiful and it always looks amazing walking around this game, also the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie make us remember how good the game use to be and those moments were special, also playing as Abby actually was an interesting concept to see what she had gone through as well but then to put the player through the disgusting task of having to fight and beat Ellie is an awful idea, I don’t care what anybody says it is horrendous that we have to fight against the character we’ve always loved, that along with Joel’s death crushed the ratings so low. It’s not being special and unique in the story and the way it’s played it’s just being deluded. I hope they remake it and it was all a dream and they do a story at least some more of the Ellie and Joel action we all love and are not tired of as we’ve had to wait 7 years anyway it will be amazing to get some more of it in a nostalgic way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately the game is a big disappointment. After 7 years of waiting we are giving a poorly written script with characters that no one actually cares about. WTH is Danny? I don't know and I don't care! Joel is killed right at the start after saving the life of his killer. The fact that Neil (Manny) spits at Joel is a big picture of what is about to come. They literally destroyed the game trying to be innovative. The plot is weak and has a lot of flaws. I mean, do you guys really think Ellie would forget the map with her location at the Aquarium so Abby could find it and go kill her and the others? Ellen didnt even picked the god damn PS Vita, I mean, whatttt? She is crazy about that stuff! Come on! They try so hard to make us like Abby, they try sooooo hard to manipulate our emotions to make us believe that Abby is a nice girl. The manipulations did not worked on me! Abby is an horrible person in a world full of horrible people and I do not care how many hours I was forced to play her character and how many times I had to play with the dog, she is still an horrible person. They could have made this game a masterpiece, but Neils ego got in the way. The first TLOU worked because it was written by people that knows what they are doing. The first game is flawless! The emotions that the game make us feel is something that I never saw or experienced in another game. It is perfection! TLOU 2 is the opposite! You end the game disgusted, tired, feeling a disgrace. i regret buying this game. I struggled to play till the end, because the game is just BORING! The dinamic of the game is boring: we started as Ellie then we play as Abby, agai as Ellie, flashback, Ellie again, now Abby, flashback, Abby, Ellie and this go on for the entire game! It is really awful, annoying and boring! It makes the plot even more difficult to like and follow. I wish this game was never done in the first place. Joel deserved more. The fans deserved more. I have no problem with Joel dying if HIS DEATH WAS WELL EXECUTED AND WRITTEN. If he really had to die cause Neil thought that would be "cool" at least make his death WORTH the 7 years waiting! You just dont kill a character that we all love like that. The game has some good aspects here and there mostly the flashbacks with Ellie and Joel (The Museum was my favorite. Joels face when she hears the astronaut tape made me cry).. everything else in the game is just empty, pointless and without any value. It does not add to the plot it just takes and destroy the original script. They did not even let Ellie keeps Joels memories and bound with her. They took her fingers, so she now can not even play the guitar anymore! They destroyed her , transformed her in something that we started to dislike or even hate! She ends the game alone (remember her conversation with Sam in TLOU? about her biggest fear), empty, destroyed! And why? To justify Abby's actions? I do not care. This is a world of killers. Nobody is a saint, certainly not Joel, but still he deserved more. I do not recommend the game. If you really, really want to torture yourself at least be smart with your money and buy a second hand game. There is a lot being sold online for half price. This game is just not worth the money and the emotional burden.… 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]
