    i give 2 rate for graphics only, everything else is very bad, The second part has another goal, unlike what it was in the first part, and this is what makes it serve different ideas for the writer, thus making the game lose its fun.

    The plot itself is not bad, interesting twists, different moments. Nice graphics with beautiful locations. But the characters and dialogues leave much to be desired. All of them, as for me, are quite the same type and boring.

    I think 8 is the most realistic rating for the last of us part 2
    What I don't like about the game is that you play most of the game as the main villain, like Abby, and the fact that Joel died shortly at the beginning of the game.
    The story, the graphics, the soundtrack is beautiful and so on.

    So I just finished my 3rd playthrough of this game. Now.. in the first playthrough I spend the time that I had with Abby with absolute disgust and hate. I wasn't able to think objectively and see beyond my curtain of hatred. I couldn't get behind the idea of spending half of my game time on a game that I thought was supposed to be about Joel and Ellie with a new character that at thisSo I just finished my 3rd playthrough of this game. Now.. in the first playthrough I spend the time that I had with Abby with absolute disgust and hate. I wasn't able to think objectively and see beyond my curtain of hatred. I couldn't get behind the idea of spending half of my game time on a game that I thought was supposed to be about Joel and Ellie with a new character that at this point I only wanted to murder.

    I rushed through Abby's part as quickly as I could. I ended up saying things like "Okay I can see what Neil Druckmann tried here but it didn't work for me. The story was okay but I was disappointed with the choices they did in the narrative structure, but the rest of the game is a masterpiece".

    I went into my second playthrough with the objective to be... objective! and approach the whole Abby scenario with open-mindedness! And it worked. I started liking Abby and I started to empathize with her story. I finished the game with a much more satisfying feeling towards the story and its characters.

    The 3rd playthrough only strengthened that feeling and it came to a point where I wasn't so sure anymore if I enjoyed Ellie's or Abby's story more. The conflicts between Ellie and Abby just left me speechless. I like both characters, I understand the reasoning behind their doings. I empathize with them. I don't want either to die. It certainly would have been a gruesome finisher if Ellie really would have killed Abby in the end. But I think the choice the narrative directors did here was absolutely fine. The tiny problem that I have here is that I don't know if it was entirely realistic for Ellie to not kill Abby. You see, from a player's point of view it is by far the most reasonable decision to make. We understand both POVs and we know what they both went through. It was a cycle of hatred of two people that lost everything. The problem here is that Ellie doesn't know really know what Abby has gone through so I don't know if it was entirely realistic for her to stop the killing even when it was all she could think of for months. What an incredibly hard decision to make for the narrative directors. I respect the decision to leave Abby alive at the end. It was the more satisfying ending and maybe it isn't all too far-fetched that Ellie stopped the killing when she saw how Abby was tormented and at the same time thinking about Joel and the fact that Abby let her live not only once but twice. Maybe it really was the more realistic choice.

    I also feel like the side cast of this game is pretty underrated. A lot of people call characters like Owen and Jesse trash just because they don't play a MAJOR role in the game. I feel like these characters perfectly tied into the entire story. They may not have been the most influential on the story but the way they came and went tied in so well.

    I just wanted to get that off of my chest and say that this game is a masterpiece. The story is still not close to the first part but it is a damn good story for sure. And like I said before. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, animation work, details, world-building, etc are a masterpiece.

    I challenge people that disliked the narrative or disliked Abby after the first playthrough to leave the game alone for a few weeks/months and come back with a more objective attitude. Now that you know how the story plays out, you won't be surprised and caught off guard by the unorthodox story structure. I promise you won't regret it.

    Thank you Naughty Dog for being a masterclass game developing studio.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My review:

    TLoU part 1 : a symphony of bittersweetness

    TLoU part 2: a ugly black gaping hole where everybody hates everybody, destroys everything and bashes everyones head in. And oh yeah, Ellie loses 2 fingers and that's the conclusion of the game. Yay!

    So, every character sucks in this game, including Ellie (no that not because she is gay).
    Basicly TLoU2 is "hate, anger, darkness: the game". But not in an entertaining way. In a gruesome way. Everybody loses, including the player.

    The only thing NOT destroyed after this game is the settlement in Jackson. Maybe they can destroy it in part 3.

    Sure, Naughty Dog knows how to make a game ... but man this story is not cool in any way.

    After finally playing the game, I have now completely changed my opinion and decided it was not only good but completely worth my time. I'll take caution trusting reactionary dudebros in the future.

    Fans lined up to buy the game was a testimony of the love and money they were willing to give for MORE of what they got in the first game. The fact that ND and Naughty Dog pissed all over those fans by dragging them into a world that completely took you away from the first game... is unforgivable. And even if that fact wasn't even the worst of it all!

    Il gioco è fatto benissimo. Tutti quelli che dicono che il gioco fa schifo è perché non hanno compreso a pieno la storia e la voglia di vendetta di Ellie dopo la morte di joel. Il gioco in se è un capolavoro

    This is an amazing game, I think everyone should go through it. The Lgbt agenda is not so common and does not interfere, although I do not understand why everyone liked Part 1, if Ellie was already a lesbian there?

    If you loved the first game, DO NOT buy this one. The creates of game try to push the narrative that Joel deserved his brutal death because he killed the Fireflies who were preventing to save his Ellie. Conveniently ignoring that Ellie was going to be murdered by the wonderful Zebra loving doctor without her knowledge and prior consent. I did not like the death of Joel and I am not a fan of then having to play the majority of the game as Joel's murderer. Thanks for ruining my favourite game, I regret deeply buying this game and that my money will ultimately end up as game revenue for Naughty Dog!    … Expand

    This game isn't trying to push any political agenda, the main character just happens to be a lesbian it does not affect the game at all, nor does the trans character in the game. If you want to play as a straight white male I can name countless games.

    The production quality is by far the highest of any video game that's been released so far. Anyone denying this is delusional, frankly. I thought the story was fantastic and well done, but I can certainly understand that others didn't feel that way. But the people giving this 0/10 are childish idiots. Yes, I'm probably talking about you who's reading this right now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's face it. There are no AAA-developed games under a 5.0. In the first place, it's amazing that any bit of code touched by hundreds of programmers, artists, actors, etc, even turns into a playable mass. Most of the '0' reviews on here are hatred-filled joke reviews written by people who I very much doubt even touched the game. It's sad to see, for example, voice actors literally being sent death threats over their part in the game. The only people at fault here are the game directors and writers; but even they do not deserve most of what a loud angry minority of gamers are giving them. If you dislike the story, that's fine. However, that does not mean the people behind the game deserve to 'kill themselves' or 'have their dog be raped' or whatever. Now that that's out of the way; let's begin. I loved this game. AND I loved the first game. I understand gamer's dislike of Joel being killed off right at the beginning of the game. I understand not liking being forced to play as Abby for half of the runtime. I understand disliking the depressing and revenge-filled storyline. Why am okay with all of this? Because that's what you're supposed to feel. You're supposed to feel robbed when Joel died. You're supposed to have to hate Abby when you get control of her. Because at the end of the journey, this game is not about making you happy. It's not some teenager fan fiction. It's a **** apocalypse. Everything gets taken away from Ellie. We experience that in a painstaking, difficult, tragic 10-15 hours. We hate Abby, hate what's she done, what's she's ruined. And then we get put in her shoes, and find Ellie doing the same exact thing we hate Abby for. The entire runtime of the game is spent seeking what Ellie thinks is revenge, and at the end of it, we see where it leaves us. It leaves us with nothing. With nothing but an empty feeling inside. In a world filled with death and despair, we find that the whole game isn't spent trying to fix all of it like we thought, but instead about causing more of it. We find that revenge wasn't the end game. Revenge was found in the first hour, with the death of Joel. Everything after that? A desperate attempt to find meaning in life. Ellie's meaning of living was the cure. That didn't work. She turned to revenge. It didn't work. Marriage and family? It also didn't work. She didn't find happiness. And neither should we, playing this game. Yes, everything gets taken away from Ellie, and it's sad and it sucks, and it feels like it's stepping all over the first game. But what we fail to realize, is that everything was taken away from Abby first, from the Fireflies, in the first game. In fact, the 'most fair' situation in the whole series? It's right after Joel died. Abby got her father taken away from her, and so Ellie got her's taken right back. The Last of Us: Part II isn't a revenge story. It's what it is: An apocalypse. One where no one ends happy. That's the point of the story Naughty Dog is telling. It seems unfair Joel gets taken away from Ellie, but at the same time, it's unfair that Jerry, Owen, Mel, Manny, Yara, Nora, etc all get taken away from Abby. It's a sad and depressing story. It shows us life isn't always fair. And that's what's beautiful about it.… Expand

    Bana göre bu oyun yapılan o kadar ağır yorumları hak etmiyor. Oyun grafik anlamında görmüş olduğum en güzel oyun evet hikaye anlamında beni birinci oyun kadar tatmin etmese de çok fazla eksikleri yoktu. Müziklerine diyecek lafım yok zaten efsane müziklere sahipti. Bir başyapıt dersem yanlış olacağımı düşünmüyorum bu oyun için.

    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]
