    Great game. If you loved the first game, and hate this game, you should really take a look and think why. The main reasons many are upset, is the game doesn't go how they want, and you play women who do not quite match society norms. People who have reviewed the game who did not even play it through, especially those who did not play it at all have been unfair to it, and their reviews should be removed.

    Maybe you just didn't like it for valid reasons, but that's the minority from what I've seen.

    If you played it all and did not like it, you are entitled to your opinion, but those who have, and loved the first game, should consider that they may be taking a suck because people die instead of always magically surviving in a horrible harsh world, or just intolerant, sexist, and/or a keyboard warrior. The little details in this game make it great. They took some big risks in having you play a character who is a somewhat masculine woman. Good on Naughty Dog for challenging society norms. Things like armpit stubble on one of the female characters (who would actually be shaving regularly in this world?). One argument people use is "the game is too violent". Again, that is valid if you didn't play or like the first one. If you did, that's a horrible argument, it's very similar to the first game, where Joel murders tons of people, including innocent firefly's and essentially dooms the world for one girl. He just committed a planet to doom! I loved Joel but that is about the worst crime you could commit! The revenge against him was valid, but the cycle continued until both Abby and Ellie ended it. I will admit, there are times I did not like playing Abby. She is my enemy of course ! But you play on knowing there is a reason.

    Just finished the game last night, and it was good, satisfying, and makes you think, just like the first game. Leaves the door open for more. Hope they do a part 3 once the keyboard warriors simmer down. They could wrap it up with a mission to find someone who could carry on the firefly work and make a cure, perhaps work it in that Abby's survival leads to finding this person, and cure due to Ellie's act of mercy (returning the favor from Abby).

    I gave the first game 10/10, I give this one 9/10. I did miss Joel too, but as the game goes on, you realize he deserved what he got. If you put yourself in Abby's shoes, Ellie would have done the same thing as her!

    Slam dunk for Naughty Dog!    … Expand

    I try to be honest.. but I hated the fact that joel got killed so early. The Game is flutted with tragedy and offers no connection to other characters.... The trailers were false advertising, and i feel like a wreck after finishing the game... A game should always make fun, otherwise you have no reason to play it again (AS A SINGLEPLAYER GAME) Thanks Neil, now i suffer from depression.

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

    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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought the story was great- I think the characters act as they would have before and as such won't discuss that in this review. This is exactly what I personally wanted from tlou2. I enjoyed the introduction of new characters and liked following someone outside of Ellie and Joel's bubble, who had a wildly divergent background and perspective. Dina, Jesse, Yara and Lev, in particular, were charming and I wanted to see more of all of them. I empathised with Abby a lot and while I wasn't personally invested in her love triangle with Owen and Mel, I did like the protective role she took over Lev. To me, it felt reminiscent of early Ellie and Joel interactions and I liked it a lot. Their interactions made me laugh- Lev was pretty dry and I liked it. Abby's arc allowed for a thorough exploration of Seattle and the war between the two cults that controlled it which is removed from Ellie, which some clearly disliked but I enjoyed it- it felt meaningful and interesting, from the teachings of "the prophet" and the "sky bridges" to the resurgence of the Fireflies. I loved the character designs for all of the characters and the world design was outstanding, as to be expected of Naughty Dog.

    My only issue was zombie continuity- I wished there were more zombie variants, for example, I wished that Santa Barbara and Jackson had a different zombie variant similar to Seattle's Shamblers. I felt disappointment seeing a shambler in California after the characters theorised their formation was due to the wet climate- climatic mutations would be believable after 24 years of the cordyceps existing in the world. Also, only one in-game character model existed for the shamblers and bloaters. Hitting two shamblers with a mine would make them both fall to the ground, perfectly synchronised, completely breaking immersion. The Rat King was a very cool concept, but unfortunately not very grounded in reality which might be to some people's tastes but not to mine.    … Expand

Play never gets too deep, as the game is primarily cinematic and wants you to progress without excessive difficulty or complication. Story beats represent the game's reward and compel you to continue the adventure.

    The graphical quality and technical skill at work are admirable and noticeable nearly constantly. It's clear the team making this game chose to prioritize small moments to reward players with technical beauty and some of the best (painstaking) attention to animation detail. While elements like gameplay and story are somewhat subjective, it's clear that exceptional technical skill made this game possible on PS4.

    People who played the first game feel like the narrative of its sequel is too forced, doesn't match the characters, and doesn't include characters they enjoyed the first time around. I would suggest that--if you are only interested in this game for the plot--to watch someone else play the game or just read the synopsis. This sequel does require you to know the general plot of the first. There are enough hints in the introduction to get you up to speed, but the rest of the story will feel a bit like reading someone else's yearbook.

    Simply put, if you enjoy shooting/combat and puzzle-type gameplay, pretty graphics, and a dramatic-for-the-sake-of-being-dramatic plot, you've got yourself a great game to spend time on.    … Expand

The whole experience and story reminded me of the feelings and emotions I felt in the vengeance trilogy by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook. But just like those movies the dark story in The Last Of Us Part 2 isn't for everyone. This will be a game that will stick with me for a long time and I would definitely recommend it.… Expand

I finished the game yesterday and i'm so glad I approached it the way I did. I'm generally a casual gamer. I play most games for the story and, to me, a great game is one that leaves you feeling like you don't know what else to do with your life after finishing it. The way you put down the controller as the credits roll and you don't want to do anything else but pick it back up and play it again because I just can't handle the feeling of the journey being over, the dreadful feeling of having to come back to reality and live my actual life. That was certainly a feeling that The Last of Us Pt. 2 gave to me. I thought that everything about story, the characters, the pacing, the way two different stories converged into a heartbreaking climax was all just wonderful. The combat hadn't changed a whole lot from the first game but, if it ain't broke don't fix it. There were some small changes but, I thought that all of them were positive changes. The game is graphically fantastic and there are some really beautiful and really beautifully dark locations. If you've read this far you know that some people have had a problem with some of the narrative and the themes of the story but, we are all different people and, i'm here to give my personal opinion. I've never posted a review on a game like this in my whole life and, after having the experience I did playing this game, I feel hurt to see people trash it. Hopefully reading this review will help someone out there have the same kind of awesome experience that I had playing this game.… Expand

You can clearly see how much love went into making this game because of all the little details like for example the physik of the ropes (they interact with the arms and the guns of the character) or the snow which melts from the blood of the enemies and so on. I really enjoyed playing this game. There are so many cutscenes and dialogues which are just optional and the stories told from the papers lying around are just as awsome as in part 1. The combination of stealth, gunfighting and discovering also really made the experience great and never boring. I also really apreciated the story. I loved it that there wasn't even a real stereotypical villain who is just evil because he is evil. The perspective of Abby also made sense. I don't understand why people are just hating Abby, even though she lost more than Ellie. She lost all of her friends and her dad, while Ellie "just" lost Joel.… Expand

    Gameplay was pretty good, not great by today’s standards, but good enough. The stealth was fantastic though it’s too easy unless on hard difficulty.

    The ending (no spoilers) left a bad taste in my mouth, but I think that was the point. Final battles felt like I was being tortured with a golf club.... I was somewhat disappointed by the ending when it was over but in retrospect it was the only way it could have ended and still have been an effective story. This was one of the best and worst gaming experiences of my life.... I don’t think I will ever replay it but I don’t think I want to. This was a work of art, truly brilliant.

    "A Flawed Masterpiece"
    This is a very hard review to write - there are parts of the story I adored beyond words, and there are parts that I hated to the point of very nearly putting down my controller and walking away. And yet... I'm so very glad I never did.
    Without spoiling anything, it's safe to say that there were some pretty extreme narrative risks taken in this production. Even    "A Flawed Masterpiece"
    This is a very hard review to write - there are parts of the story I adored beyond words, and there are parts that I hated to the point of very nearly putting down my controller and walking away. And yet... I'm so very glad I never did.

    Without spoiling anything, it's safe to say that there were some pretty extreme narrative risks taken in this production. Even having reached the end, it left me not satisfied, not happy - but rather, sad, confused, empty. I spent days pouring over the experience, trying to untangle the mess of emotions I was feeling (yes, still, days later) - and over time grew to accept, then grudgingly admire, then downright cherish the experience I've just played (lived) through.

    It's not a 10/10. There are some frustrating bits even outside of narrative, and while I did enjoy the story overall, I can't help but think that something could've been done to pace it better. And good grief I would've killed for an actual choice towards the very end... But this is largely nitpicking.

    Final verdict: I don't regret a single dollar, nor a single hour, I've spent on this game. It made me feel like **** but only because it wanted me to - never unintentionally. It's certainly a game that will challenge you not so much as a player, but as a human - and I while I appreciate that, not everyone will. Yet in my eyes, the biggest testimony to its achievement is the hole it's left behind. What other game could possibly measure up at this point?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tbh you could right a whole godamn analysis essay on this game because of how many little details and parts you need to do more then just understand on the surface. This game is so worth the money and was the first ever game I preordered. So many bad reviews you see on the internet all come from dumb people who saw the leaks and rated the game based on it. I want to address the things that people picked out to hate on. 1.Joels death:
    People were mad that their beloved character from the first game was brutally murdered and said that he should have died a “heroes death”. One thing we need to remember is that JOEL was NEVER A HEROE, he murdered all the good people, the actual “heroes” who were trying to make a cure!!! And story wise it just wouldn’t have been as compelling if it had been another character that made ellie set out on her quest for revenge. If you pay attention to what Joel says before Abby beats him, you know that he knew this day was bound to come after all the bad things he’s done. 2. Feminism being “shoved down people’s throats”: I really don’t know what to say to people who had this opinion. Of course everyone’s allowed to have their own opinion but WTF people. I’ve been around the internet reading reviews and watching them. What I’ve found that people who complained about this were all straight white males. Here is me summarizing the comments people have made:
    A. Why do you need a lesbian. Why are they shoving this down our throats B. Same as above for trans people
    C. omg CAN I JSUT POINT OUT ALL THE MALE CHARCATERS DIE , someone needs to point it out!!!!!!

    Here’s what I have to say:
    These people do exist in our society, so they’re not shoving anything down your throats. This is called representing minorities. This IS NOT A POLITICAL AGENDA. Apparently MAKING S FEMALE CHARCATER WHO are BUILT MUSCULARLY IS ALSO MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT. The game even explains WHY SHE TRAINED HERSELF TO BE THE WAY SHE IS. BUT NO ONE PAYED ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BUSY HATING ON HER. In conclusion, because this game doesn’t follow the conventional video game characters aka white men bashing **** it gets hate. And it’s just disgusting that people would go so far as to send death threats to Neil druckman because they didn’t get what they wanted. That’s just **** childish. I had to get that little rant out of the way but now I will talk about what I loved about the game. 1.Graphics and gameplay
    I found myself constantly amazed with the graphics and the gameplay. I would even make my family members watch me play for 5 seconds so they could see how realistic everything looked. You can tel so much hard work was put into making everything. The scenery was fantastic and the gameplay was definitely an upgrade from the first game. They worked similarly but small things like being able to go prone, hide in grass and even perform and jump kill made the experience so much more enjoyable because it pushed the stealth element even more!! God my favorite thing is Playing the game again because the better and more familiar you get with the game the more fun it is creeping around and killing your enemies quietly. That was a 10/10 for me. 2.Story
    I didn’t give this game a 10/10 because of the story. However this was not because you had to play as Abby. Ithought that playing as Abby added so much more to the game. I remember hating her so much when I first started playing as her , I even considered not playing. But the more you played as her, the more you find the parallels between her and Ellie. At the end When ellie set out to kill Abby the second time, I found myself saying that I didn’t want her to die. We were put in her shoes and we realized what motivated her, what made her happy and what made her sad. So I grew to love her as a person, her character growth was something that made me feel warm, especially when she said that Lev was her person. However, the game was a little dragged on mainly because of the closer look we had of the conflict between the WLF and the seraphites. I found that it didn’t really enhance the story or the main characters much. The whole part where lev returned to find his mom felt unnecessary and while fun to play, really distracted me from the main story. That said the game also strayed a little from survival horror and became a lot liek an action adventure. I remembered saying to myself out loud a lot “is this UNCHARTED??!” So for me the story was like a 8/10

    Overall, I really loved the game even though some parts were hard to sit through. I really don’t think you should judge this game before playing it yourself. This game really takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and when you finish the game you might just like me feel a completely different feeling from when you began. Give it a shot and I promise you won’t regret it.    … Expand

The first game exceeded my expectations as the cliche zombie world transformed into a profound experience where our “hero” of the story wasn’t meant to be the poster boy for moral reasoning. He was flawed like all of us and capable of making selfish decisions when the world needed selflessness. He was so believableThe Last of Us series is a testament to how imagination can become reality. The first game exceeded my expectations as the cliche zombie world transformed into a profound experience where our “hero” of the story wasn’t meant to be the poster boy for moral reasoning. He was flawed like all of us and capable of making selfish decisions when the world needed selflessness. He was so believable that he became a father figure to all players. The second game was so unbelievably good in terms of gameplay, story, characters, etc. I didn’t feel like I was playing a game in a fictional world but watching a movie of what humans are capable of in regards to love and hate. It made me question our sense of good versus evil and how both can be misconstructed as the righteous path. While I agree with others that it was hard to find Abby’s character likable, I thought her story was the perfect opportunity in showcasing your enemies weaknesses and strengths and how it shapes a person. In that way, I understood her character better and who Ellie was going up against. My only critic is the Santa Barbra chapter that felt out of place (the Rattlers felt like a rushed plotline) and a reason to bring the characters back together again. Overall I commend Naughty Dog for taking a risk and making a game that I don’t believe was overall focused on revenge but understanding how love can make us do terrible things.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is an amazing game. It is gorgeous with deep story telling that hits on some very intense issues. This game is a continuation of the story from the first game. It is brutal and to be honest, to dark and violent at times, but it is layered with memorable characters even to the point of Naughty Dog putting players in the "shoes" of what would be considered the antagonist.

It was a risky move but it pays off. Gone is Ellie's young teen life, and now there is a world she inhabits where actions have consequences. Very few games take these kinds of risks and it pays off.… 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]
