    The techynical aspects are awesome, as the gameplay, graphics, face expressions, and more. The lore of game is really good, i think is not better than first game, but the discussion of it is awesome, there isn't a good side in a apocalypse I am Brazilian, so my english is not very well. Sorry.

    Only a handful of games deliver such an incredible effort in gameplay and story. My first playthrough has officially seated it in my top 5 games of all time.

    This game is beautiful and sad. It is a raw reflection of humanity shown through amazing gameplay, incredible environments, and deep characters. It is a work of art.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is one of the worst games I've ever played in my live.Doesen't deserve to be called The Last of Us. Terrible story with new terrible characters the gameplay wasn't soo cool Ellie was terrible character, her relatiship eith Fina was terrible.For her the family is just a joke.
    I had to play as Abby and understand her story which I don't give a **** about. And Even watch her gnarly parody of sex with Owe. And you wanted me to say Ellie kills 100 persons and 5 dogs to get to Abby and then when she found Abby she realises that revenge is BAD. What gotta say? A,Great character development     … Expand

    Was disappointed with the story to this game. Graphics were incredible and that's where it gets most of it's score from me. Story lagged on for to long and at times was just down right boring. The way they tried to make you feel sympathy for Abby fell flat.there literally was no sympathy I could give. The voice acting at times was just bad.

Story lagged on for to long and at times was just down right boring. The way they tried to make you feel sympathy for Abby fell flat.there literally was no sympathy I could give. The voice acting at times was just bad. I blame the story more then the voice acting though. The conversation in the beginning between Abby and Owen was cringe worthy.

    Killing of one of the main characters is fine it's been done before. The way it was done almost seemed like it was done to spite fans. Unlike the first game non of the characters stood out. This seemed like a bad Godzilla movie where you go to see the monster fights but end up getting 2 hours of the characters and a half hour of the monsters. What happened to all the infected? Did they just step aside so everyone can get over their it's complicated?

    Not Naughty Dog's best showing.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm giving this game a 10 because it is pure masterpiece.I know story may trigger some narrow minded haters that only see this game in "Joel dead game bad" way but story is much much deeper than that.In fact story is unique because game is representing us both points of view, you have to understand that Abby was seeking for revenge because of her's father death and so would you in her situation.Ending was also fantastic and left me speechless, Ellie let Abby alive because she learned how similar Abby and Joel were.

    This was the most beautiful game I ever played on ps4 with facial expressions and voice acting being pure masterpiece.

    Overall this game is really an awesome journey and very enjoyable to play    … Expand

    Technically game is just perfect, amid couple bugs and low fps in heavy scenes it is finished and polished AAA product, with best graphics and animations among all games in 2020.
    There are some downsides in stealth part of the game, making stealth centred game offering 3-4 stealth mechanics and some of them are opening after 1/3 of the game.
    Gameplay is fantastic, extending mechanics from first part with some new options and perfecting animations, new enemies, ai that make you hate people more than infected species. Design of the surrounding and new experience of vertical levels just awesome, every location gave its own story that is perfectly described by notes that you can find while exploring. In some parts of the game tension and stressful situations are dominating and you're waiting till moment when you can just relax and have a bit of exploration, I found myself being tired of such big amount of tension and pressure but it is fully justified by storyline and from this point I'll switch my review on it.

    In general plot looks like a logical completion of characters from the first part, even new characters seems to provide some additional perspective on things that have been done by protagonists from first instalment, downside of this part is that some storylines of new characters seems to be rushed and have lack of motivation behind them. But we need to keep in mind that this story is about people we already know surrounded by post pandemic world, cruel and brutal world where survival is on the first place, and as any survival in such world there definitely would be victims of the decisions that are done by people, some of them are motivated and some are done in anger or fear. In these story we can feel all the results of such doings. But not in slick manner, opposite of it, deep and rooted in emotions, in full palette of them. You can experience fathers love, resentment to be deceived, struggle from PTSD and self hate, and rage blindness (keep in mind that main symbol of the game is moth that flies blindly on the light that will burn it). Storyline have plenty of layers and symbolism what is very rare in such AAA projects, I can understand reasons of such hate and misunderstanding of gamers community, but we need to treat games like piece of art that is given for us to experience emotions (not always good ones), and not just like entertainment for 20-30 hours. In terms of how story is presented and aligned in gameplay is just great, to have a complete picture you need at least two walkthroughs. Having so mush details and things that gives you chills is fantastic. But second part of the story is blurred by events before it, you have a feeling like you need to pass it as quickly as possible to finally get know what will happen next, and you don't have time to explore world, read notes and develop character skills more precisely. Time that is allocated to familiarize with new characters also doesn't work in its purpose. But as I've written above this story is about characters we all know, that are developed and grown on us during first game and are deeply opened up during second part.

There are award winning movies that don’t compare to this deep and rich of a story game. I guess some of these bad reviewers are just anti SJW people even the game has nothing to do with SJW? If you couldn’t tell Ellie was gonna be gay in the first game then you really must lack brain cells. Im sorry some of you had a hard on for virtual character and if she somehow became real she wouldn’t be into you now because she’s gay. Pretty sure she wouldn’t be attracted to incels in the first place bro. Also, I loved the ending. It does make sense if you look deeper into it. Ellie found her peace and even though it’s not the peace you were looking for, doesn’t make it a bad ending. If I can express this enough, PLAY THIS GAME. Take your time and think about the story in a richer sense as you play and you’ll appreciate it. I couldn’t have asked for a better second part. I cannot wait to see what Naughty Dog and Neil. D have in store in the future.… Expand

Un racconto profondamente umano in un mondo crudele dove l'umanità, appunto The Last of us, vive e sopravvive. Il gameplay, questa volta, non fa solo da contorno alla storia ma ne è parte fondamentale; è divertente, sfaccettato e pieno di possibilità, un miglioramento deciso e palpabile rispetto al primo. Poi le animazioni non sono mai state così fluidide e belle. La grafica e la cura nei dettagli è da togliere il fiato, un gioco mastodontico sviluppato con passione che lancia un messaggio chiaro: l’amore per i videogiochi e le storie ben raccontate. Un’avventura che si fa amare e odiare, ma che difficilmente verrà dimenticato. Grafica 10/10

    The Last Of Us Part II is hands-down the greatest video game I've had the pleasure of playing, the world building is awesome and incredibly detailed, the combat is absolutely brutal and you feel every single blow as you exact your bloody and furious revenge.

    This game made me feel things I didn't think it was possible to get from a video game. A truly staggering achievement of moral complexity.

    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]
