    I played about 30 PS4 games, and TLOU Part 2 is probably the one I enjoyed the most.
    The story and the characters are amazing and touching, although many people criticized them. I respect all the opinions, but really don't understand, I think this game deserves better reviews. The characters make mistakes and act not only with rationality, but also impulsively like real life people do.    I played about 30 PS4 games, and TLOU Part 2 is probably the one I enjoyed the most.

The characters make mistakes and act not only with rationality, but also impulsively like real life people do. And some decisions are made for the sake of fun and story, after all it's just a video game.
    Apart from that, the gameplay is great, alternating action and stealth.
    The graphics is really good too, especially the character's faces during the cutscenes.
    Every aspect is great: the sound, the atmosphere, the pace, the Seattle locations, the hints.
    Overall this game is the perfect sequel to the first TLOU, where everything is more complex and simply better.
    I think I will never forget playing this game.    … Expand

    I can't understand how there are such bad user ratings for the game here.

    For me, by far the best story and character development I've ever experienced in a game.

    The attention to detail Naughty Dog delivers here is simply world class! I love it! 10/10

    As much as I was pleased with the first part, I was so upset by this parody. Disgusting plot, miserable non-human characters. Political agenda instead of human relations. I hate everyone who is involved in the creation of this garbage.

    One of the weakest stories in gaming ever. Characters are literally unlikable and make no sense. The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.

    10 points for music, graphics and motion.
    -10 for the whole ^%&^%$$%#$%#$%@#%*%* story! What is the story? The writer trying to tell us what?
    A cautious man just walked into a room with strangers and got killed?
    Then his daughter started revenge but finally forgive the killer? Wow that's really impressive.
    I'd rather never playing this game, ever.

The Last of Us Part II is a complicated, compelling adventure exploring the darkest sides of human nature, the effects of trauma, how factions and personal association fuel our bias, PTSD, and most importantly, how we heal from our grief and internal anguish. To quote Troy Baker, the voice of fan-favorite character Joel: "If we have done our job right, people will question everything. I want [players] to be able to challenge their own ideas about what this game is, what this world is, who the characters are — everything.” “I want people to go in open-minded to this story, and allow Joel and Ellie to tell their story — not the story that people think they want to be told… If people go in open-minded to this thing, I think they will have a completely different experience than if they go in close-minded.”

    Unlike the first game which chooses to deliver its narrative in a condensed, easily digestible manner, Part II truly wants you to think about the intense decisions of its characters and ask yourself questions about it. Where Part | is a consumable story about very well-written characters following basic story tropes, Part II is a terrifying dive into how what we know and what we feel conflict in the face of our better judgment. Asking a player to understand and experience its characters despite how they feel about them is Part II's greatest risk, and by proxy, the reason its so divisive (among other less credible reasons we'll get into). But in my opinion, it's quite possibly its greatest strength. In this gripping 20+ hour narrative, the player will experience desperate stealth-survival gameplay which left me nearly breathless after every encounter and close call. The graphics imagine a forgotten world reclaimed by nature while showing the pockets of humanity trying to preserve what they no longer have. Every character, object, and animation is filled with immersive detail. It always made me smile when Ellie would tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear from falling over her face after a large jump, and it always made me wince with phantom pain when a buried my switchblade into an unsuspecting enemy's throat. The story won't work for everyone: It's not the safe crowd-pleasing sequel all die-hard fans of the original wanted. But sometimes to truly say something significant, you have to challenge your audience. And The Last of Us Part II challenges its audience and characters more than any piece of media I've ever seen.

    Synopsis:

    Gameplay 9/10: Desperate, brutal, creative, and very in-depth, with the first game's low-ammo vs lots of enemies style gameplay turned up to 11. New features like going prone, breaking windows,
    and crafting silencers and explosives allow a much wider variety of ways to take down or sneak past your foes. New infected types bring new challenges while the old ones are revamped for a better challenge. Human enemies are more tactical and come in different varieties depending on the faction you're in combat with. Avoiding dogs, pulling out arrows, and fighting a brute head-on all kept my adrenaline up. Outside the combat includes simple but enjoyable puzzles to give you a break from the violence. One of my favorite features is the ability to crack safes without clues by listening very carefully for the right combination. Despite this, the combat becomes a bit monotonous around the 3/4 mark. The game allows you to collect new weapons and earn new skills but they don't do quite enough to shake up the gameplay in a 20+ hour experience.

    Graphics and Animation 10/10: A very beautiful game filled with creative scenery and extensive detail. You have to play it to really get the experience. (To give a simple reference for how intricate this game's visuals are: The characters will breathe heavily through their mouth when running or in combat, and quietly through the nose when in stealth or not exerting themselves).

    Story 8.5/10: Unlike the beat-by-beat cinematic pacing of the first game you might find in a 1 1/2 hour movie, Part II is structured more like a 600-page novel that both works in favor and against the exploration of its characters. While not as clear-cut and straightforward as its predecessor, Part II offers a deep dive into its concepts and leaves the player with a lot to think about, despite unfortunately dragging its feet in some areas. As for the "SJW trash agenda" that negative reviews like to bring up when claiming the game has a terrible narrative: Yes, the game has a lesbian protagonist, a bisexual supporting character, and a character that struggles with gender identity. All of these are character traits and do not affect the overall story. If you genuinely believe the game is ruined because the female main character also likes women, you really need to rethink your priorities.    … Expand

    THE LAST OF US PART II, is not the game you are ready to play, or at least not ready for this generation, lets not take that too seriously but, alot of people got angry over what happened to Joel, but lets all agree that in that reality of apocalipse, Joel probably did way worse things to other humans and killed probably a thousand people to survive, people hating on abby just don't understand that this game isn't about vengeance and yes about aceptance, about even tho youre able and have the capacity to get what you want, maybe thats not what you really need or what you should have, the richest person of this planet can not but your soul right? sure some people would sell themselfs and that happen all the time, but bad things do happen, and good things too, don't mistake the bad things for mistakes or consequences, because mistakes and consequences comes from your choice, and if that kills you in the future you can only blame your self and acept that you were wrong, now, im not saying im not sad to what happened to joel, i did get really sad but i diddnt hate abby, Joel took someone special away from her, and i would probably have done the same in an apocalipse reality where the only thing you have is the people you love. This game is 10/10 truly has a really good experience and it may make you feel depressed, but brings up to yourself to think that life is really godam good, do not waste it, learn when to move on, and no youre not alone, theres always someone there for you    … 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]
