    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The enemy encounters in TLoU2 are tense, brutal, and challenging. The atmospheric music and intelligent enemy AI made me squirm in my seat as I snuck around the environment. I rarely got mad when I died. Instead, I looked forward to approaching the scenario differently. When I had to fight, I enjoyed the combat; however, combat was sufficiently messy and resource-depleting to incentivize a stealthy approach.

    The story is excellent. I don't want to spoil too much, so I'll just say that this game knows how to make you feel the way it wants you to feel. The score, environment, cinematography, and script work in tandem to give the main characters compelling emotional lives. However, some have criticized the lack of choice in certain key moments of the game. Indeed, their were several moments where I had to accomplish a goal of the main character that I really didn't want to go through with. While challenging and fun, on an emotional level these moments were almost painful. But I think that was the point. At the end of TLoU1, Joel didn't give Ellie a choice. So Ellie doesn't give us a choice. She alienates the player as she loses what she loves. Like everyone else in the game, we are powerless to stop Ellie. We can only watch the tragedy unfold and hope she finds the strength to forgive.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic is great but is also full of jerks, I mean the people scoring this game are definitely just frustrated by the fact that Ellie and Joel didn’t end up having a happily ever after but for Christ’s sake this is an M rated game if you want a hundred percent satisfying ending just go watch some movie on Netflix. I loved part one but part two is just a masterpiece like no other, it gives way more than what was offered. Way to go Naughty dog!… Expand

    Ha sido una tortura emocional. El juego es tremendamente nihilista, se entiende por qué a tanta gente no le gusta. Te deja una sensación de vacío que no logras entender. Para mí, un juegazo sin ninguna duda.

    Perfect sequel. Great story, unlike some people said. The characters are very real and complex, it’s not a fairy tale but a very human story. Gameplay is awesome, improved on the first one. Stealth is so much fun, combat is expanded and refined. Graphics are the best of the generation. 10/10

    My favorite game so far in 25 years of gaming. It’s a masterpiece from top to bottom. It’s ironic how the people who hate this game are the ones who need this story the most.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I really enjoyed the game while playing it. The game illustrates the brutal reality that the setting takes place in where loss and devastation is very common. The many haters of the game who are upset by Joel's death fail to realize that his adverse demise shows how savage the world is. Just because a beloved character has died due to a golf club does not ultimately make the game so bad as innumerable people have expressed. In addition, the mechanics and the brutal fights made the game very fun to play with all the new additions such as hiding in the grass, climbing, jumping, dodging, and new moves in general. It provided the strongest emotional impact a game ever has due to its ability to form a powerful connection between Ellie and the player. To be honest, I did kind of understand Abby, not that I will ever like or agree with her actions. For instance, if someone killed Ellie, Joel would definitely seek revenge and if the game were centered on the person who killed Ellie, players would view Joel as the bad guy. Therefore, though I definitely don't agree with her, i do understand her. For those people saying that it was out of character for Joel to help Abby and let his guard down, his sense of security lessened after he settled in a safe place with Ellie so he is not the same as the Joel we saw in the first game. Only thing that I kind of didn't like was that I would like to play more as Ellie and found playing as Abby was a bit boring. Overall, I loved the graphics, the cutscenes, the story, fights, characters, acting, and sound.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not just about revenge or a cliché story that contains a hero and a villain, this game shows the real consequence for the choices and actions that Ellie and Abby take during the game. Revenge brings loneliness and does not fill the void caused by trauma. This game surpasses the first in all aspects, with incredible graphics, huge expansion of maps, advancement of the combat system, sensational setting, incredible development of the story and magnificent facial expressions, even of the NPCs and enemies. This game is incredible and makes us reflect a lot on our choices. A game to be played at least once in your life.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это игра просто великолепна! Уровень глубины сюжета просто зашкаливает. Да, первая часть дала незабываемый опыт и смогла передать чувство, которое испытывал Джоэл по отношению к Элли. Но вторая часть всем своим "естеством" пытается окунуть игрока в нужное состояние. Здесь абсолютно всё играет на сюжет, будь то музыка или игровой процесс. Вы переживёте весь спектр эмоции, который ощущает каждый персонаж. Почти за каждого второстепенного героя у вас будет возможность создать собственное впечатление. Музыка не оставит вас безразличным к звуковому сопровождению. Каждое движение, шум, и мотив заставит прочувствовать то или иное состояние. Огромная благодарность за это композитору. Спасибо за крутые анимации и динамику боя, спасибо за хороший дизайн и красивую остановку! Очень доволен игрой и эмоция, которые она вызвала.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me, both The Last of Us games are the end level of video games. And I see the game as a masterpiece consisting of both games and not each part on its own. For me, the characters, the story, the character development, the atmosphere, brutality, music and sound effects and graphics of this game were really the best I have ever played in my life. Of course I get why many fand are disappointed about the first part of the story - of course it killed me as well and was like: for real? Now I have to play Abby for hours and hours? All I want to do is kill ber and take revenge. But somehow ND managed it to make her appeal like a good human bei g so in the end I really didn‘t want Elli to kill her. Also ND showed us that pure revenge is destroying more than it gives you even if you feel facilitated for 3 secs. For me this game is a masterpiece and I‘m kinda sad and frustrated that NO GAME (probably until TLOU3) will ever come close to this masterpiece endlevel of story telling and video game. Man I am greatful to be alive and being able to play TLOU when it was first released. Thank you with all my heart ND and all the other teams who have participated in this game - you changed my life!… 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]
