    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is really good, its not perfect and it's clearly not as good as tlou but still it's a really good title. Tbh I think that everyone is mad about Joel's death, personally I think it's brilliant because while you start playing with ellie you just want to kill Abby but when you start playing like abby you realize that Abbys feelings towards Joel are not that different. And you find out that maybe if you were willing to kill someone who killed a dear one then they can think the same way. It's really a good game… Expand

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. I never experienced so much different feelings in one. It was a horrible, sad and beautiful Story, I can't understand the negative comments. This game was not made to make you happy or comfortable! And those who criticise the Gay/Trans part: Grow the f*** up!

    A technical marvel, simply gorgeous. I enjoyed the story, could've been a bit shorter. Didn't change the mechanics of the first game too much, a little more would've been better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be honest, i liked the graphics and gameplays. But i refer now about the history (most important)
    It had a good point of view of new characters like Abby, But people don't like her too much and that's a problem. Some characters like Jesse doesn't seem to be important to Ellie, his history isn't too deep. Finally, the end is not good. Ellie seems to be the antagonist, after all she was blinded by her anger and she needed to kill Abby to show us her importance in the history. That was a big change for Ellie. Did i mention about Ellie's fingers during the combat?, If u dont care if the end matters or not, just see Game of Thrones chapter 8    … Expand

The graphics were amazing and the gameplay was good the story was decent I didn’t really mind how joel died I think the way he died was more realistic than for example a hero movie. The graphics was the best graphics I’ve ever seen on ps4 and maybe the best on pc as well, I loved the first game so much so I became a bit biased to the second one, Overall good game… Expand

    One of the boldest narratives ever told in a video game, and one of the best games I've ever played. A modern classic.

    I can't imagine what an absolute loser you have to be to review bomb a game without having ever played it and claiming "the story is bad" because you read some leaks. These people don't deserve rights and are incapable of complex thought.

    That being said, I actually did play and complete the game. The gameplay is exciting and beefed up a lot mechanically compared to the first game.

    That being said, I actually did play and complete the game. The gameplay is exciting and beefed up a lot mechanically compared to the first game. Constant tension and stress running from alive and undead foes alike makes the brief quiet moments seem like oases. The story challenges the player to feel empathy, and the people saying naughty dog "doesn't care about the players" because of certain events in the story lack that quality.

    For the people dismissing the game as "SJW trash," you're on a whole new level of vile. The extent of the "SJW pandering" is a lesbian relationship and a transgender character, who is arguably the most likeable and relatable character in the game. These characters don't seem like tokens, they seem like real people, which is refreshing.

    TL;DR go buy this game if you own a PS4, period. If you didn't play the first one, play that first.    … Expand

    I got to admit, at the first act, I was giving a 6, then as it goes to 10. However, at the 2nd act, it drops back to 6, then it increase to 8 and 10 again. In the 3rd act, it drops back to 6 again due to character motivation that I disagree with. When the final climax happened, for the first time, I do not feel like touching my controller to do as the game tells me too. AND THAT is IMPACTFUL. The way the game make me feel the struggle in controlling the character in the final climax...felt so real. The last scene of the game also gave me the understanding I need on the character motivation that i disagree with earlier on. This is why this game is a masterpiece in gaming in the way it tells the dark story about hatred, guilt, consequences. It felt real.

    As much as it is a masterpiece, I am giving this game a 9. Not a 10 because I felt, some parts in the game felt a little to long and drags for quite some time. However, in dragging those parts, It successfully build a world which I really feel I am in, and most of all, it really felt like an adventure.    … Expand

    I loves this game. I loved the first game. Some people may not like the choices this game made, but it is important to remember that this is the story Naughty Dog wanted to tell. Just becuase what you may or may not have wanted to happen occured, does't make this a bad game. Go into this game open minded, and consider the type of person each character is.

    I would have loved some more open world areas, and Im dissapointed that there was a map introduced, but you only used it for such a small section of the game.

    Graphics, animations, acting and everything was just amazing.
    I cant wait to replay this sometime in the future on the PS5.    … Expand

    The game is great in all aspects. People that didn't like the game didn't understand how deep it is. It makes you question yourself constantly. It's not just about revenge, it's about what comes with it and what it may do to you. Masterpiece and game of the year for me.

    A good plot (think of the characters not as simple heroes-villains, but as individuals), memorable characters, but not so many changes in the gameplay compared to the previous part.
    If you are burning from the ending, then congratulations, you are too small or stupid to understand the picture as a whole)

Yes will you be upset with the controlling of certain characters? sure but i think that's the point of this game. It is meant to make the player feel uncomfortable and to engage in something outside of their comfort zone. If you want a game to lay back and play and veg out, this is not the game for your. If you want a game that will linger after you play it and make you feel, then this game succeeds. I personally trend to the latter and for me i thoroughly enjoyed this game.… Expand

    Technically this game is made very well, the graphics are great and the gameplay is enjoyable too, The combat is realistic and these things do need to be praised, there are parts of this game which are worthy of standing next to the first game but this game is held back MASSIVELY by the story.

    To be brutally honest it was one of the worst stories i have experienced in gaming, the way    Technically this game is made very well, the graphics are great and the gameplay is enjoyable too, The combat is realistic and these things do need to be praised, there are parts of this game which are worthy of standing next to the first game but this game is held back MASSIVELY by the story.

    To be brutally honest it was one of the worst stories i have experienced in gaming, the way they treat characters from the first game is disrespectful and brutal, the pacing is completely off and it feels like they are genuinely trying to make you either angry or sad all the way throughout the game, there is so much more i could say but that would involve spoiling the plot, the story is such a big factor in this franchise that no matter how good the gameplay and graphics are i cannot give this game a good score because i felt nothing but anger, disappointment, sadness and a feeling of emptiness at times.

    The ending of this story also made the whole journey feel pointless and also left me feeling very unsatisfied, to me this game could have been one of the best of the generation, it feels like the design team pulled out their A game but the story team wanted to go a route which would divide players for the sake of being different but not only was this route definitely not one they should have taken but it was also implemented very poorly indeed.

    I waited a long time for this game and feel nothing but anger and disappointment from the game's story even though the combat was enjoyable and the graphics were nice to look at.... despite these two good points of the game i still couldn't fully appreciate them because of the story of the game.

    I will also say it was nice to see naughty dog implement little hints of positivity towards the lgbtq community and also the inclusion of a trans character, i know some people believe this was forced a bit but i see it as a positive part of the game, it's just a shame that of all the games to do this it was one which ultimately released as a big disappointment to me and many others. i just wished this game could have had a story even half as good as the first one, then it would have been something special.    … Expand

    The game is great! Graphics amazing, gamplay is intuitive and inline with previous one. Please dont listen to the haters who rated the game. Characters changed, and it was expected, since many years had passed and who is the same who you were before 20 years old? The story is good and you will continue to enjoy the game as much as the previous, so go for it if you already like last of us 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich kann die Kritik von den den anderen Usern gut verstehen, weil nach so langer Zeit habe auch ich mehr erwartet besonders am Ende des Spiels. Das Spiel hat eine echt schöne Grafik mit geilem Gameplay welches mir persönlich extrem viel Spaß gemacht hat. Die Story war irgendwie packend besonders der Anfang und dann scheißt es rein. Besonders Abby zu spielen hat mich so Getriggert ich hätte 100 mal lieber mit Ellie weiter gemacht, das hat mir nicht so gefallen aber da muss man halt durch. Sie haben einfach viel zu viel Hype um die Story gemacht aber das Gameplay die Animations damit haben Sie zurecht geworben das sieht einfach son Nice aus wenn man jemanden Sneak Killt die Gesichter sehen einfach nice aus mit den Emotionen. Natürlich waren wieder die Jumpscares hinter den schmalen durchgängen dabei, und auch andere aber die waren eigentlich Gut außer das die mit den Schmalen durchgängen relativ oft passierten. So jetzt widme ich mich der Story nachdem ich da oben einfach ohne System los geschrieben hab. Die Story hat echt viele Plot holes gemacht dat werdet ihr auch in anderen Reviews lesen sogar sehr oft. Diesmal war es nicht deine Mission Ellie zum Krankenhaus zu bringen sondern Joel´s Mörder umzubringen. Dabei erkundet man Zahlreiche Gegenden mit Zombies oder Menschlichen Feinden die man auf eigene Art bewältigen kann. Rein in die Olga oder einfach alle Stealth Killn oder komplett ohne Kampf durchsneaken(ist nicht immer möglich glaube ich) die Story Endet echt mies aber auch irgendwie Verständlich muss ich sagen. Mir persönlich hat das Game übelst Spaß gemacht und war kein Fehlkauf, ich weiß die anderen Leute sind Save nicht meiner Meinung aber is ja meine. Das Spiel bekommt von mir 10/10 wenn die noch einen Multiplayer rausbringen da hätte ich übelst bock drauf am besten ein PVE und ein PVP aber beim PVP auch zombies auf den Maps das würde warscheinlich auch die anderen das Spiel dann besser bewerten lassen.

    So danke das ihr mein unnützes Review gelesen habt (hab einfach mehr Geschrieben als ich je gefühlt in einer Klassenarbeit früher geschrieben hab)    … 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.
