    The best of the gear; the story is simply perfect.

    En español ahora. Técnicamente y artísticamente es excelente; el desarrollo de los personajes está escrito e interpretado de manera magistral. Es una historia que sin duda no vas a poder olvidar.

    Not really into scary, dark and depressing games, but my Creative Writing professor at university used the story of this game to explain dichotomy and parallels. I played it to ace a class, and ended up loving it! It’s too good! Never have I seen a game look this good and play so smooth! It looks and feels so real! The story had me crying a lot and feeling emotionally exhausted bu the end.Not really into scary, dark and depressing games, but my Creative Writing professor at university used the story of this game to explain dichotomy and parallels.

The story had me crying a lot and feeling emotionally exhausted bu the end. It also left me questioning my morals. Takes “walk a mile in your enemy’s shoes” to a whole new level, it’s crazy! More games should take more risks and tell more interesting stories such as this! I was completely immersed in the 25+ hours I was playing it! The first game felt like a great show/movie, this one felt like a mix of that and reading a great book. I’d recommend it to everyone, if your heart can handle it!… Expand

    Esse jogo é simplesmente a obra de ficção com a carga emocional mais forte que eu já senti, e como na gameplay ele expande e melhora tudo que existia no primeiro jogo, simplesmente uma obra prima.

    One day, I'm going to write a longer, more detailed review. For now, all I want to say is this: I'm giving this game a 10 not to combat the review bombing but because this game genuinely deserves it.

Naughty Dog didn't suddenly go braindead and forget who their characters were, and the charge that this is lazily written is laughable (at best). This game is a layered, complex work of art that perfectly complements the first game. Though I struggled with the decisions Naughty Dog made, as EVERYONE who plays this game has (thus the review bombing), after playing through the game a second time and reflecting on it more, I honestly can say this is the most powerful gaming experience out there. I hope Naughty Dog keeps pushing the envelope like this. They are true artists. And please, buy the game at full price; the artists deserve to be paid for their bold work.… Expand

    Truly amazing and engrossing story. This world has consequences for the characters actions. Well written, interesting characters, who are the hero of their own stories, who may live long enough to see themselves become the villain. Must play, don't judge this game by what you may read. The script isn't everything, the performances add so much to this experience. Give it a go. You won't regret it.

    Later edit: is the game with the most reviews in the world :) , to see how much drama is in here.
    If you like the drama is beautiful game easy to play. And keeping you playing to get to the end of the story, as the story become more important then the game play.

    Тем кто не играл, советую составить свое мнение после прохождения, а не наоборот    Смеётесь?! Из-за одного сюжета так снижать оценки?

    How this game parallels the first game in so many ways and how the two storylines parallel each other leads to this game being nothing short of a masterpiece.

I liked the original game but this one builds on it and made me care for a whole host of characters in ways I have never done with a game before. It has that ability to make you miss the characters when you aren't playing it and now that I have finished the game I feel sad and empty knowing I will never experience it fresh again.… Expand

Look after playing the game at first i didn't like it so much because it killed Joel BUT after understanding the meaning of the game which is to learn to leave your past behind and its also about forgiveness and its shows that the girl who killed Joel didn't find her inner peace after killing him she found it when she saved the life of the two kids and Ellie found it when she finally let Joel rest and moved on by letting Abby go. Abby lost a lot and so did Ellie, Abby lost her father and Ellie Joel Abby lost all her friends and Ellie lost most of her friends her relationship and two of her fingers only because it took her more time to learn to forgive it is not a perfect game but it is still a masterpiece and a game that has a lot of messages coming through it… Expand

    I remember, when the main gameplay bits first started to leak; the kind which didn’t need any context to matter, yet it was the kind to infuriate most of the gaming community.

And, as the release date approached, I prayed that my money and my long waitI remember, when the main gameplay bits first started to leak; the kind which didn’t need any context to matter, yet it was the kind to infuriate most of the gaming community. With extreme dexterity, I kept myself away from the spoilers as I had already ordered the game and was eagerly awaiting the release date. And, as the release date approached, I prayed that my money and my long wait would not go wasted. The recommended videos on my youtube home page didn’t help however, as many videos started to be titled as “The Story of an Angry Lesbian” and “How to Not Make A Sequel”. The video titles were not wrong; well atleast the first half of them. You see, The Last of Us Part II IS actually the story of an extremely angry lesbian - but how one’s sexuality can affect the game’s outcome is beneath me. The other half of the youtube video titles however, soon turned out to prove themselves to be wrong, as this proved to be (atleast, for me) the greatest sequel to any game ever.

    > Story (without spoiling it):
    The Last of Us Part II is a story of vengeance. In fact, I think it is the greatest story of vengeance ever crafted. It’s the story of Ellie and her hunt for blood following the events of the first game.

    The game takes off at around a couple of years later from the incident with the Fireflies. The game constantly pans out and off from the current time period, showing different scenarios of the past with the aid of time stamps. TLOU2 shows us a blood thirsty Ellie in an ageing world. For events that stirs up at the beginning of the story, Ellie goes on a hunt for revenge and takes down everyone who seemed to be a barricade. >Detailing:
    You cannot ever depend on firearms and only truly learn to depend on the usability of your trusty switchblade and stealth. Drops of ammo and supplies becomes rarer with the rising difficulty and the experience that much harder. There are workbenches to upgrade your weapon and safes to ravage from. Whenever you want to craft something or apply a medkit, you need to do so manually, which teaches you to utilise every fleeting moment in an encounter or a battle. In these tiny, yet evolving manners, The Last of Us Part II always holds the attention of the player. It’s almost unfulfilling ending reminds me of my favourite tv series’ and once again sets the bar for “cinematic experiences” in games to a whole another level. This is not the sequel we asked for, but the sequel we needed. >My History With The Franchise:
    I first played The Last of Us back in 2014, in my PS3. A year later, I bought the remastered edition on my PS4, to try out the DLC. It was amazing; it had the most consistent character development, borderline thrilling storyline, an unique gameplay and just the overall aesthetic of the game was appealing. The Last of Us had one of the most fulfilling endings in any game I played, yet from the moment I finished the game, I was eagerly waiting for a sequel. The next year, we were blessed with a reveal trailer, and the waiting got more and more hard to deal with. Before the date of release, I feared the game would be terrible. I was sad, as I already had ordered the game and was badly waiting for the release date. It was a delight to see my fear being proven >Why I Love The Game:
    The Last of Us Part II loves testing the players by putting them in tough situations. I often found myself staring up above to the sky, looking for a high building or navigating for the sunset or spotting the ferris wheel. I only did those, to get around. There is no HUD map, and that’s how it should be. TLOU2 likes to show dominance as a survival post-apocalyptic game, and it does in every chance possible.
    Combat is absolutely terrifying. You can light up entire hordes with dynamite pointed arrows, explode blood hounds on your trial with land mines, take hostages as their friends cry for their life - kill their friend first and slowly kill your hostage as he/she begs for their fleeting life. Instead of watching the same animation for stealth killing someone, you’re blessed with gruesome scenes of Ellie puncturing her enemies’ throats as their blood soaks her clothes. Instead of fighting every infected in the area, you can stun them sharply and run for your life. Instead of going in with blazing guns; you can take up stealth and execute it a score of different ways all while your comrade follows your lead. These are all new to the series, as in the previous entry all we got was sadly monotonous gameplay compared to its sequel. The point is, the best looking game on the PS4, also is a ton of fun regardless the blood ridden storyline.

    > Final Thoughts With everything the game has to offer along with the best ending I’ve witnessed; I am utterly in love with the whole experience. If my words are worth anything (which is rare to be so), I’d rate this masterwork; quite easily and deservingly 10/10.    … 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]
