    Haters can hate all they want, this game was a thrill of a ride, it is really the peak of naughty dog imo. And if u didn't enjoy because of the decisions they took with the story, well suck it up.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part II

    To me the last of us part 2 is a 10 out of 10 first off and the most obvious points the game graphics, the aesthetics, the environment and the smoothness of the game. It is incredible how a game can be so immersive in those aspects.

    The second point is game mechanics, of course the last of us won’t have the type of mechanics God of War has, Kratos is a God and Ellie is a simple human that doesn’t even have military training. The game tries to be as realistic and true as it can be. That’s why mechanics couldn’t be as fun as some people expected, the thing is it’s actually fun, violent and exhausting. The improvising factor is outstanding, every time you are in tough situations it’s incredibly rewarding knowing that you could’ve died but somehow didn’t. Responsiveness is not as great as the first game but it was meant for it to be realistic. Finally the most controversial topic is the story. The sequel is a gigantic rollercoaster of emotions. The start is slow but when you get to the 2 hour mark things get really spiced up. The game serves its purpose by making us feel those emotions in a way I’ve never felt or seen before. This game is not fan service at all and I don’t really know what people expected from this universe of tragedy and sadness with little glimpses of happiness. As most of us, I didn’t want many things to happen but the game forces us to do things that are morally dubious and maybe things that are correct we don’t want to do. No character deserves a good ending because they’re not special, they are not superheroes or characters from a love story, they are normal people, just like you and me. Whenever someone says the game is about revenge is wrong, they’re actually not getting the point. This game is about perspective and the path of redemption just as the first game was with Joel, from loosing his daughter and becoming a dubious moral person to becoming a loving and caring person. Abby’s path is a mirror to Joel’s. The fact that they save a kid and travel through America to find a destination is an example of it. I was an Abby hater even before she brutally and disgustingly killed Joel, I even let myself die a couple of times before knowing what was her motivation. Even after I didn’t like her, but as time passed I reflected and understood her, the fact that I didn’t want her to die at the end because, first of all, she spared Ellie’s life twice, seeing her point of view and making me feel empathy is amazing (props to the developers), even after killing the character we loved so much. Abby is not a monster or a completely terrible person. She is just as gray as Joel, or Ellie or any other character we know. Even when she was about to “end it”, you could see her face doubting what she was doing, hearing Ellie scream desperately. I’ve seen many reviews stating that characters are not true to themselves, but you know, 4 years passed and they were living a really normal life without even having to deal with others. Joel for instance became a softer and older guy, he actually didn’t completely trust the WLFs. Tommy lost everything at the end, literally everything (her wife, the possibility of saving Jesse, his brother, his ability to walk, one eye, his complete revenge, and the list goes on) Ellie had her PTSD eating her from the inside, with the impotence of forgiving Joel and not communicating what she felt or thought, these are some reasons that on why she decided to leave her really loving and stable family. At first I couldn’t get why she was giving up on all of that, knowing the consequences, but now I completely understand her and the fact that many of us don’t even know what it’s like to have such a trauma is near impossible to understand why they act in such a way, while developers conducted research, talked to experts and people that suffered from it. For what I can see people felt so empty and had a mix of emotions at the end, and that was the end goal of the game. I don’t think anyone likes it or expects it, but it is what it is. I strongly believe that if a Movie or a TV show or a video game makes you feel such strong emotions that’s what makes it so special and non forgettable. This game made people including myself, start yelling, hating, crying, even being violent. But also made them feel happy and hopeful in some flashbacks and sequences. My recommendation for this game is for you to have an OPEN MIND and don’t expect any fan service, to play it YOURSELF and not base your opinions on another person’s take. MAKE YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.    … Expand

    Amazing game. I think naughty dog took a risk and came up with a great sequel. The graphics is insanely good, which made me wish I have ps4 pro and a 4k TV. Great characters and story as well. I think it gives players the opportunity to see different sides of a story and see the grey areas in this universe. Thank you to naughty dog and the team, congrats on the game.

    I am not going to spoil anything in this game FYI. I can understand why some people might be upset or dissapointed by this game, however I went into this with a completely open mind, with no expectations and I have to say, I loved it.

    I believe this was a very worth while addition to the original game and believe you should play this with no preconceived notions. Go into it blind and accept everything for what it is and I'm sure you'll have a blast getting lost in this highly detailed world and it's realistic take on the human condition.    … Expand

    The crusade of Ellie finding Aby I loved, then the Abby’s story help us to understand the base of this new story.

    The two end fights are so emotional and brutal!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a true masterpiece.
    To call it a game is to underestimate the whole endeavor - this is an experience, a piece of art and an emotional rollercoaster that left me heartbroken for days after the ending (and thats a good thing).
    Druckman had a vision and he wanted to share it without compromises and hesitation and I'm so glad Sony let him do it. He wanted to show how a dark world helped to create a dark side in characters. it wasn't supposed to be a happy story for Joel and Ellie. It wasn't supposed to be a streamlined continuation of the first game. It was supposed to be real and messy. And it was. Very real and very, very messy.
    This ride is so much more than a typical revenge story. Not many revenge tales succeed in diving deep inside the protagonist psyche and show how awful the loss of control and judgement can be.

    The addition of Abby. I didn't like it. At first. I'm glad they did it. Second only to the realness of Ellie's descent toward madness, a glimpse on the life on motivation of the "antagonist" (just another person trying to survive in crazy world) made the whole thing even harder to accept and process.

    This is not a game for people looking for a wholesome, happy story of people living together and overcoming hardness. This is not a game for people who can not accept that bad sh*t can and sometimes will happen (in life and on screen). This is a game for people who want to dive inside a dark and gritty vision of a master storyteller. For people who understand that art can't be artistic without flaws and good plot can't and won't appeal to everyone.

    A true masterpiece.

    *gameplay is awesome, soundtrack is magical and immersive, side characters are believable (if not very interesting), the attention to details is insane, atmosphere is haunting at all times and the ending...

    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]
