    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi, I just finished The Last Of Us Part II,

    And not 10/10 damn or 3/10 **** review bombing! And if you want to get it buy it for 40€ no more!

    Gameplay / Graphics (games made with hard difficulty) :
    Let's start with that, the gameplay is very good the sensations we have with Ellie ("TITLE"), are very good, the shooting sensations are pretty well managed, the fights with the infected are sometimes intense especially when you're going to face the boss (yes he's got one), it's going to give you a hard time.
    Fights with scar/wolf humans are very intense because the enemies know how to organize themselves very well and they will be ruthless with you, especially the scar.
    But in the penultimate third of the game, we don't know why the Wolves become dumb... sometimes they watch walls (WTF?), this part was rush during development? (and some small bugs seen here and there that will probably be fixed).

    The Graphics are beautiful Naughty Dogs manages their engines very well, especially the faces and expressions of the actors, superb (after that I prefer a little more Uncharted 4 in terms of graphics, a slap in the face. Maybe the sets?)

    Screenplay [BIG SPOIL NOW]:
    We meet Ellie and Joel and the others 4 years later in Jackson at camp, after the events of the first game. [Ellie knows the truth about what happened at the hospital and the fireflies at the end of the first and Joel has no regrets about what he did at that time.]

    Ellie goes on a routine patrol with Dina, everything is going great, they find a place to rest and do their business ;)
    But Jesse (a character we see more in the game), finds them with the information that Joel and Tommy still haven't come back so they go back to find them, but only Joel is captured with Tommy, and then what happened... Ellie wanting to save Joel in the place where he is, she finds herself trapped by Joel's kidnappers, stuck and beaten she is in front of Joel bloody almost dead, Abby (a very important character in the story) killed Joel in front of Ellie's eyes by revenge because her father was killed by Joel when he was going to operate Ellie 4 years ago (Abby's father was the surgeon). Then Ellie will lead her quest for revenge, in the direction of Seattle. (I made HUGE shortcuts)

    Although the basic scenario is rather classic in its treatment, it is very well written because we will live (obviously) Ellie's adventure during the 3 days in Seattle and will go back up the trail to Abby killing one by one those who captured Joel (followed by "flashbacks" between the days of the moments lived between Joel and Ellie in the past), we see Ellie falling little by little in the spiral of hate (I won't go into details play it or watch the movie version that will be on youtube soon to see it. )
    And that's where the surprise of the scenario comes in because we will also play Abby what she lived during the 3 days in Seattle or we will also understand her motivations that pushed her to do that (via "flashbacks" also cut between the days, besides we start with her the day her father died, it lasts anyway 2 good hours), she will also see during her adventure her friends die either by learning it, by seeing their corpses or by living it.

    In spite of my spoils I will not tell you certain passages of the game which is very important or essential, I also take care not to tell you the end which will divide you and which also divided me, but I understand.

    CONCLUSION:
    The game is a very good technical performance, it's beautiful and you don't get bored in front of the game, Abby is superbly well written, I wouldn't say more ;)
    I understand Ellie's motivations, the links she has and has had with Joel are very important, the game is sometimes sad, sometimes joyful (it plays a lot on the Nostalgia of the first one), and a lot of hatred it can divide people and it will, the end is what it is, it is very open but again it divides.
    And I understand that people can't understand it, but as Joel said: "I would have liked it to be different too, but that's the way it is."

That being said after playing and beating the game I can see how much of a negative impact it would have been to have had the plot ruined by leaks. The story left me feeling all sorts of ways. I mean... It's an emotional rollercoaster! One second you're up then next you're like "OMG why?!?!" then you're back to fearing for your life. It just leaves you feeling... like a hodgepodge of feelings and that's a good thing in my eyes. The game is also very pretty. Like play this game at night with the volume up on 4k. It's breathtaking. It's also surprisingly long. Like near the end the game has so many cuts to black that I was like "is this the end? No wait maybe this is the end" I'm jumping around here but yeah I enjoyed it. The only reason I couldn't give it a perfect score is because.. Well...Where's the multiplayer? The first game had such a bad ass online mode that I loved and would have loved to experienced here. But... It's nowhere to be found. But hey new game + is a thing soo... Yeah. That's my review Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game and feel like the ending could be done much better. I can see and understand why Ellie stopped in the end, but I never got inside Abby's head as ND wants me to. Building her vaguely and suddenly she's "trying to be good" after 2 strangers saved her. After Seattle events, I can see that she did change, but that's not enough to cover her golf scene. Overall it's an emotional roller coaster for me. Expand

    The game is really good. Stop being salty and close minded. Granted, the pacing could have been better, that is my biggest problem with the game. But does that really make the games story poorly written and bad? The amount of insane moments in the game are beyond any 0/100 scores. Good god i hate the human race.

The first is the way they handle Joel's death,the second is the immediate one hour following ut and the third is the ending. And for those of you wondering about sjw agendas and stuff thats all **** The game never pushes an agemda and Abby is not trans. The only LGBT thing in this game is Ellie and Dina's relationship amd that's all. The haters review bombing this game without playing it are idiot's pushing their own agendas. Expand

    Look I understand people dont like the whole SJW thing in the game. But to review bomb this game based on that is silly. It is pushed a bit much but who actually cares.

    The story is solid. Not the best they have told but still good. Gameplay is easily 9/10. Great Stealth and Third person action.

    Graphics are amazing. 4k tv with hdr turned on is unbelievable.

    It is an easy 8/10 for me

    Spolier Free Review.

    Does not deserve the amount of hate its getting from the "GAMERS" who believe they are suddenly able to unbiasedly critic a game, LOFU2 is by no means a perfect game, however it was a unsafe choice that the developers knowly made when creating this. They didn't go the safe route, they tried to tell a new narrative and explore the game from a different prespective.

They didn't go the safe route, they tried to tell a new narrative and explore the game from a different prespective.

    That doesn't mean the whole game is bad, the conversations come across and cringe as well as forced at times, like "Thanks, babe".... however the gameplay and cinemeatic experince is on point and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy playing the game.

    People who review stuff from a biased standpoint, dont deserve a voice to begin with. Everything has pro's and cons, so people should get out of their echo chambers. Im glad I went in without being spoiled, otherwise it would of been hard to hold a unbiased viewpoint.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know How to Rate this Game, so I'm gonna break it down.
    1st Technically:
    I Encountered 3 Times Texture Load in, 1 Time a Prop popped in and popped out regarding to the degree you looked at it, 1 Time Texture Clipping in a Place you you probably shouldn't even go. So that's a Solid 5 "Bugs" I encountered which is really good and impressive. Loading Times if you Play the Game in one Piece are 0, and you don't even know when something is loading, but you realise when you open a cold Save how much the Game hast to Load.
    For that I Give the Game 9,9/10.

    2nd Visuals:
    The Game looks Gorgeous, the best a Game has ever looked on PS4, the Characters are amazingly Designed and Detailed. The World is Rich and Beautiful and the Zombie's are what bad Dreams are made off.
    A solid 10/10.

    3rd Gameplay:
    So the Main Gameplay Loop is, Go somewhere, find a way in Kill some People, story sequence and go again. Till the End it doesn't feel exhausting or to repetitive so that's good but I wish the made the ending come a bit faster, did not enjoy the last 3 Hours marching to the end, but fine. You can fine tune your difficulty Settings to your liking, more Loot but hardest Enemies, easy sneaking but if they find you you Dead, or hard sneaking with forgiving enemies. It's all there.
    The Survival Mechanic is very similar to the first one but a bit tweaked, You can choose different approaches to every fight, tho when you do it loud there are more enemies to fight then when you sneak. Weapon Ammo is very low even on the lowest Loot difficulty, you probably gotta use multiple weapons in one encounter, but you can mostly refill after them According to your loot difficulty. Capacity Upgrades don't let you hold more Ammo, just more in one magazine.
    I love the Guitar Minigame where you can play 30 Accords and every string solo. It's beautiful.
    So Gameplay Wise 9.1/10.

    4th Story:
    It left me Numb Laying in my Bed for hours. I did not enjoy the Ending. I did not enjoy the Character switch at first but I got warm with it, The Story punches you in your gut multiple times out of nowhere and so hard you can't even react to it. It's all fine till the End, A new Group just for a broken Ellies Revenge Trip? A Broken and Hatred filled Tommy that flames Ellie? I say No No. All the friends you had Killed and only one is left for both Sides ok I can Dig that, loose everything, and give out mercy in the last Moment and go Love your Live in Peace.
    Let me Craft you a better Ending, Cut right before Tommy gets Revealed and let him Die, Cut to Abby and let them find the firefly's and let them drive off with the Boat, cut to Ellie going Upstairs to Play the Guitar and reveal that she forgave Joel and that he died in Peace with Ellie. Game Credits Role, end Screen you can see that the Boat from Abby landed in Catalina and you can know they made it. Everyone is Happy in the End, after all that loss and the final mercy you can Rest Now. That Would be a fantastic Ending, something with a Message, that you should forgive and show mercy. And not your beloved Main Character becomes the Villain gets left by everyone and then don't even gets Her full Revenge and is left alone.
    So I would give the Story with my Ending which just cuts the Broken Revenge trip and Tommy a Solid 9/10. With the Ending the Devs made, I can't I don't know with that Ending nothing matters that Happened it's 3/10 at best. You can't make her a villain and then **** out. Go Big or go Home.

    So with a 9.9/10, a 10/10, a 9.1/10 and an 3/10 that's 32/40 or 8/10. So it should be my Final Score.

    Would Recommend but don't Play the Ending or Close your Eyes and Ears when Tommy is there and Stop Playing after Abby finishes the Call with the firefly. Look up the Last scene with Joel and bam a very good Ending and Game.

As far as all the people upset about the "SJW" story line this isnt the case and I somewhat believe naughty dog placed them there just to piss people of the story feels real and while I hated feeling some of the stuff I did - Sometimes in life there is not a happy ending and we just have to move on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who didn't play the first TLOU but knows the story, I loved Part 2. A combination of good easy-to-learn gameplay controls, solid storytelling and beautiful graphics make for an enjoyable time. I can understand why many users have given negative feedback on the game, especially fans of Part 1. The main character from the original TLOU, Joel, who people fell in love with in the first installment gets killed off within the first few hours of Part 2. However, his death sets up the story line, changing it from a story of survival to a potential rampage for revenge for Ellie and her crew. Naughty Dog's decision to kill Joel isn't their way of writing him out of the storyline. It's their way of turning him into something bigger - a source of strength and courage the protagonists lean on while tackling the grueling and dangerous mission to seek revenge. Yes, the game starts off a bit slow. However, it speeds up quickly while allowing you ample time and opportunities to familiarize yourself with the game controls. Like all games, TLOU2 isn't without its own flaws. The combat sequences, especially when taking on more than one Infected can be improved with indicators of which direction enemies are attacking from. Another minor annoyance were some of the tasks required to unlocking doors, passageways, etc. Some of the "puzzles" were beyond frustrating to figure out, forcing me to put down the game for a bit to cool off before going back in - if Naughty Dog's intention was to irritate gamers by doing this, they succeeded with some of the required tasks. All in all, this game is worth the price of admission. It gives you the wheel to drive through an excellent movie-quality storyline, one that will grip you through intense moments all the way through the end. Part 1 was about love, Part 2's theme is revenge. Naughty Dog took a big risk in killing Joel, a bold move the audience should appreciate. They didn't play it safe, they made it clear everyone is fair game which adds another suspenseful layer. Accept this and you'll have a great time. 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]
