Please don't let anyone discourage you from playing it, because frankly most of them are just throwing tantrums for no reason at all, or they just don't want to understand what this game is really about...it is not about Joel or Ellie or Tommy or anyone, it is about a post-apocalyptic world in which people act based on their natural instinct, there is no socially acceptable protocols that they have to consider , there is really no right or wrong in this world. And You get to experience more than one point of view and you get to judge for your self if something is right or wrong. It shows you that it is not a fairy tail, and there are consequences for every action.
    -Game play, is 10/10 it can be very challenging, however it is very satisfying
    -Graphics, 10/10 graphically it is very well designed
    -Story, maybe 8/10 it is very emotional and brutal, you can feel how sick people can be and how no one is a hero
    -length, 10/10 although i wanted more game play hours but it is lengthy and very engaging most of the time
    -Horror 10/10 it is way more horrifying than the original and now you actually feel how terrifying it can be to live in such a world
    -narrative design 10/10 it is very brave in its narrative, it doesn't care about your feelings at all
    Over all it is not perfect but compared to other story-based games, horror games, shooter games, infected/zombies and rpg games The Last Of Us 2 is one of the top games ever made
    if you are afraid of disappointment, pain and fear this is not a game for you
    This game is for people who are not afraid to experience a brave, brutal, dark and bleak story about a world that these characters have to live in, not about some characters that live in an such a world

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El gameplay es impecable, así como sus gráficos y animaciones. No obstante ha desatado polémica por la historia a lo cual opino que la historia en si es buena, transmite perfectamente lo que quiere comunicar y tiene coherencia en la mayoría de la misma, no está hecha para complacer a nadie, juegazo, si acaso lo único malo, escenas innecesarias, y que se alarga un poco más de lo que debise, fuera de eso un imperdible.

    This game moved me in ways no other videogame did.
    It's an emotional rollercoaster, and will leave you with a very bitter taste in your mouth. You as the player can choose not to see beyond that, but I don't think that's the right approach to enjoy this game. It's a much more enriching experience if you accept it's not meant to be a "happy sequel", what truly matters here is how it
    This game moved me in ways no other videogame did.
    It's an emotional rollercoaster, and will leave you with a very bitter taste in your mouth. You as the player can choose not to see beyond that, but I don't think that's the right approach to enjoy this game. It's a much more enriching experience if you accept it's not meant to be a "happy sequel", what truly matters here is how it affects you as a human being. It's meant to provoke you, just like any noteworthy piece of Art.

    The thing is, this game will reflect right back at you what you make of it. It's disturbing how many times it feels like the game stares you in the eye, and how many times it feels like you're staring at yourself in the mirror.
    And you WON'T like what you see.
    But what you take with you from that experience is a choice you don't get to make in many videogames. It's a choice that happens inside of you as an individual, choosing to look for the light, to grow, to be better than those who hurt you. You're never forced to like, or forgive the people who hurt you, you're simply put in a situation in which you can (if you want) choose to consider that there's no black and white, and to think twice before answering to violence with more violence. You're never forced to sympathize, but the game provokes you to empathise.

    Just think about how much better the world could be if we all did the same. And in a videogame that features a zombie apocalypse, but is ultimately about humanity (or what's left of it), I think that's a brilliant point.

    Tecnicamente é o melhor game já feito, o cuidado que a Naught Dog teve com cada detalhe dos personagens e locais é inacreditável e um exemplo para outras desenvolvedoras. É um game lindo e violento. Gameplay em comparação com TLOU 2013 foi melhorada em todos os aspectos.

    What a brave game! Naughty Dog has all the guts to incorporate the LGBT elements into an AAA level game!

Furthermore, instead of serving up to the taste of the traditional gamers, the team tried several groundbreaking attempts, such as to force the player to perceive conditions from an enemy’s angle and try to forgive the characters we hated so much hours earlier. I understand it was a shocking experience cause lots of people cannot simply accept this setting, let along with the fact that people who are indulgent in the gaming world have more or less some mental issues so they tend to seek fun by massive killing in the virtual world. Mostly importantly, TLOU2 is the first game ever in history which has genuinely placed female protagonists at the center stage. You have no idea how much we love Ellie, Dina, and even Abby! Of course, we also love Joel, Jesse, and Owen, the male characters in the game have been portrayed in a gentle and mild way, much approachable than those sexist we are facing in the real world. Thank you, Neil, Haylley and the beloved Naughty Dog Team! Expand

    The realest game of my generation. I felt very connected to the character development and the environment of the last of us. The plot covers all 360 degrees of what I long for in any well written story: emotion. The gameplay is unparalleled. The soundtrack and graphics are fire. Here’s to hoping naughty dog throws up a part 3!

    Игра классная.Не понимаю почему люди не навидят Эбби, ведь по сути персонаж интересный, каждый в начале игры не навидел её *в том числе и я*за убийство Джоэла, пока не понял её и не узнал получше,она мстила за отца которого убил Джоэл,а ведь он знал на что идёт.Не понимаю я вас людей которые просто так сильно привязались к Джоэлу,что насрать на потерянного и дорогого человка Эбби тем самым порадив не нависть к Джоэлу.Так что я не вижу смысла сливать этого героя ведь она и не такая уж злая,она даже оставлляла Элли в живых,,не убивала её с Диной и просто простила её за убитых не за что друзей и сказала что бы больше её не преследовали вот и всё. Так что надеюсь увидеть её в 3 части)
    P.SЯ ничего плохого не имею против Джоэла и Элли я их просто обожаю

    The combat , stealth mechanics, visuals and music score are top notch. The story is divisive.... if you're homophobic... but tells a great tale or loss, revenge, and forgiveness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ik many ppl aren’t gonna read this bc I wrote a lot but if u could please do. I do understand why ppl don’t like the game or the story bc while playing it I wasn’t sure about it either but the thing is I actually understood it. The game that u play makes u feel so much emotions that other games wouldn’t and it worked apparently since so many ppl hate the game. While playing it I felt sad, angry, happy, scared, confused and more. I remember I hated Abby so much and I didn’t want to play as her but I’ve actually grown to like her. She did grow as a character, she became a better person. Lev and yara made her better. At the end I was disappointed in Ellie for leaving her family just to get revenge on someone. And when she was fighting Abby I’m so glad she didn’t kill her bc she still has her humanity. At the end Ellie lost everything bc she was driven by revenge, and I think Abby grew more as a person than Ellie bc she learned how to let go. I love Ellie and I’ve actually grown to like Abby. I rated the game as a 10 bc the story is so good and it made me feel so many things that not even other games could do. The gameplay was also amazing and the graphics too. This has to be like my favorite game of all time. I just hope everyone can stop calling the game bad and understand it bc it is a masterpiece just like the first one. Expand

    I was deeply affected by the story and never ever thought that a video game would ever reach that level of emotional intensity. It's bitter and one of the saddest things i've seen in my life.

    This game isn't just for adults. It's for mature people.

    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]
