    Zunächst möchte ich sagen, dass das Spiel einer der intensivsten Erfahrungen bietet, die ich je in einem Unterhaltungsmedium gefunden habe.

Noch nie hat sich ein Entwickler so viel (gute) Ansätze getraut und bricht (zum Glück) mit so vielen "Regeln". Ich meine das im überaus positiven Sinne. Die emotionale Achterbahnfahrt, die überragende Technik, das geniale Schauspiel, die großartige Regie, die tollen Schauplätze. Naughty Dog hat sich wieder übertroffen. Großartig!

    Noch etwas zu dem stupiden Review-Bombing sogannter "Gamer" hier: ich gehe stark davon aus, dass die Masse an den Leuten das Spiel nicht einmal gespielt hat und sich von unwahren/halbgaren Leaks (wieso lest ihr das überhaupt? selbst Schuld!) beeinflussen ließen, die einfach dem Spiel nicht gerecht werden...und dabei rede ich noch nicht einmal von den "harten" Fällen von homophoben und rechten Gedankengut, was hier verbreitet wird. Das zeigt, dass in der Gesellschaft viele tief verwurzelte Probleme stecken voller Intoleranz, Rassismus und vorallem Unwissenheit. Sehr traurig.

    @Metacritic: auch für sogenannter "User" sollten nachweisliche Bestätigungen vorliegen, dass der Reviewer das Spiel auch gespielt hat. Dieses Review-Bombing muss enden!    … Expand

    You guys ruined everything.
    Completely disappointed about the story, feel sorry for every character in this game.
    They deserved to have a much better ending, not like this!!!!!
    You’ve got 7 years to fix the story, but you didn’t do it!
    Don’t treat players like a fool

    “if I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself”

No mean feat for a medium all too often derided for the quality of    “if I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself”

    Releasing to universal critical acclaim in 2013, TLOU was a watershed moment in videogame storytelling. A mature and thoughtfully told tale that culminated in much discussed ending, which perfectly capped off what was originally intended to be the end of the franchise. No mean feat for a medium all too often derided for the quality of its writing. Now, 7 years later, Naughty Dog and Sony decided to re-examine that ending with Part II, a direct sequel to the first game. Described by Naughty Dog as “a game about hate”, TLOU2 is a brutal tale of revenge and redemption and how violence begets violence. And it is brutally violent, not only in the way the story is told but in the moment to moment gameplay too. A great deal of effort has gone into the brutality of the death animations and the truly harrowing sounds of an enemy choking on their own blood, all in an effort to make you feel the weight of your actions, so much so that Naughty Dog has even given names and faces to the many enemies that you violently murder over the course of the game. This means that the game isn’t always what you’d describe as fun, but that isn’t the point. TLOU2 is first and foremost a character study, but as much as this game is about hate it’s also about perspective. One of the biggest differences from the first game TLOU2 is that Naughty Dog goes to great lengths to contextualise Ellie’s actions as well examine the human cost of this very inhumane quest. In order to achieve this TLOU2 introduces a lot of new characters, the most prominent of which being Abby; the focal point of Ellie’s quest for revenge. In an unexpected move, not only is Abby a playable character but just under half the game is spent in her shoes, and it’s her sections that really elevate the game above what it might otherwise have been. When I reflect on TLOU2 as a complete vision, it is indeed the masterpiece it has been touted as but it’s one that doesn’t let its audience in easily. It’s a bleak and pessimistic revenge story that takes until the halfway point to really build momentum, but by the end it’d ripped my heart out and brought a tear to my eye.    … Expand

    i don't why, but this game is brilliant. When u buying TLOU2 u have a misterious music, beautifull and unpredictable story. So, my vision of this game:
    Music: 11/10
    Story: 10/10
    Сharacters: 9/10, of course its about Lef and Jesse (not full story about it)
    Gameplay: 9/10. yes, sometimes boring, but i think that this game only about story

    I absolutely do not understand the amount of hate created by other users. What the hell are you comparing it to? This game stands out in almost every aspect.

    The story is very unconventional. It offers decisions and twists never seen in a video-game before. It is very mature and controversial and I am afraid that most of the players aren't ready yet to play anything else than easy, straightforward and simple to understand games.
    Creating this game was a brave move from the developers but I think that the gaming society is not ready for it yet. I truly believe that one day it will be perceived as a milestone in the gaming industry.

    Look at the difference between Critic Reviews and User Reviews. Why is that? Game journalists are adult and mature people with years of experience with video-games. A user can be anyone for example 14 years old kid who is just not ready to process all the emotions and moral topics this game provides.

    This is just my opinion. Thank you for reading.    … Expand

The story is very deep, the intention was good to see another side of things, but i really dont like to play as the enemy for half time of gameplay. In my opinion, one or two hours would be enough. The worse thing is that naught dog lie about many things, Ellie and Joel are not the principal characters in this game, Abby is. I really hate this. Mainly in the part who we fight against Ellie.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played and finished The Last of Us Part II unlike 90% of the user reviews here. It’s a technical, visual, and most importantly storytelling masterpiece presented in a once in a lifetime way. People aren’t being open-minded enough and aren’t getting the message, only jumping on the bandwagon of hate like mindless sheep. Sad really, because this isn’t a “lazy cashgrab”, this is a quality game from a quality studio through and through. I understand why some people might dislike it but my only issue with it would be is pacing sometimes. I think ND did a phenomenal job in showing us both perspectives and as a matter of fact, Abby is my favorite character! The duality of Abby and Ellie, the overall arching message (although not new in on itself but is presented in a masterful way). This is a must play, and a 9.7/10 from me.… Expand

    Yo creo sinceramente que no es malo es para mi un juego brutal. No es una secuela es una segunda parte es por ello que no debemos esperar cosas nuevísimas o simplemente una trama distinta. Las críticas que está recibiendo son personales y a la vez inmerecidas sinceramente se le crítica demasiado para lo bueno que es. Para mí ha sido una maravilla

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juego impresionante. 10/10 en gráficos y 10/10 en jugabilidad. Pero lo que han hecho con la historia no tiene sentido, si has jugado al original es impensable que te hagan jugar con el personaje que tortura y mata al protagonista original, psicológicamente es una aberración. Y luego te obligan a pegarle una paliza a la otra protagonista del juego original y coprotagonista de esta segunda parte, ¿Qué tenían en la cabeza? Podrían haber contado la visión de Abby desde la perspectiva de alguno de sus amigos, eso habría sido asumible. La historia de Abby no aporta nada, un triángulo amoroso del que ya conocemos el final porque los has matado a todos en la parte de Ellie por ejemplo. Se siente todo forzado para intentar empatizar con una asesina de protagonistas, no funciona. La historia no puede pasar del 5.

    Si el juego original no existiera probablemente este juego sería uno de los mejores de la historia sin discusión. Pero existe.    … Expand

They kill your favorite character from part 1 and you are forced to play for his killer.. But.. You need to go over it. That feel when you kill someone who has his own history and friends (Owen, Mel) and its not only NPC anymore is totally destroying me. I love it, I never played game like this, really. And end, when Ellie finally forgive herself and Joel and let Abby go is satisfying.
    Thank you for this, highly recommending to play this game to everyone. Just go over first tragic part and enjoy rest of the game.

В процессе прохождения не испытывал каких либо разочерований, т.к. слышал еще до релиза, что это история мести и последствий мести. И вполне логично, что в процессе игры мы потеряем не мало хороших персонажей, и месть оставит нас у разбитого корыта. Что же касается трансгендера, то для меня это просто особенность персонажа, как травма детства или фобии, как и имуннитет у Элли.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed The Last Of Us Part II. There are many heartbreaking and shocking moments in the game, but they are balanced by the many very intense, action moments. Overall I loved the game, the part with Ellie was increadable, with her going on this brutal path of revenge. If I could change the story I would only change two things, the part with Abby being this long, I wish we could get to play with Ellie even more and I hope we can get to play with Ellie more in part III.The second thing would be to not kill Joel this early in the game or give him a hero’s death, other from that I wouldn’t change anything else. The gameplay is just phenomenal, I don’t think I have ever played a game where the gameplay and all of the animations are that smooth, every fight encounter feels very realistic and intense. However, I think, the part with Abby wasn’t as good as the part with Ellie, but I understand why ND let us play as Abby, it’s to try to create empathy for Abby. Overall the game is amazing and I know some people didn’t like the ending, but the ending is a lot more than just an ending, it perfectly sets up perfectly for part III… Expand

    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...
