    Naughty Dog’s bravest, darkest masterpiece to date and one of the greatest games of this generation

Who cares what she does in bed, but what I do care about is that they have to build this POS revolving around that and shove it down our throats. + They killed Joel like F-tier side character… Expand

    This game has given me a gigantic moral lesson that revenge can destroy you. I'm seeing life with other eyes, this game has changed something in me. I can't explain it but this game is simply one of the best I've ever played in my life.

    Великолепная игра, очень сильная . Я не понимаю таких низких оценок. Если вы считаете что там есть ЛГБТ пропаганда , то пройдитесь по сюжету , и потом возвращайтесь сюда со своей критикой .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game. What a terrible mess
    The characters are unlikable, the story is terrible and sometimes when I hit an enemy, the attack went write through them. Also Abby. THE WORST CHARACTER IN THIS SERIES. The game forces us to have sympathy for her when she killed off Joel. WHO WAS ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS IN THE FIRST GAME. I will say this though. The graphics are pretty good. But I will never play another last of us game with she man the barbarian. This game hasn’t ruined the first last of us game, but if this is what Naughty Dog is doing with their series from now on. Then count me out    … Expand

El juego en trama sinceramente admito que me parecio mejor que el 1, te hace sentir demasiadas y distintas emociones a lo largo de toda la historia, y el trasfondo de los personajes es tremendo, te hace pensar mucho sobre el perdon y la venganza, y todas las consecuencias que conlleva la misma, simplemente hablo de la historia porque en lo que respecta al gameplay, es bue ni si mo. Muchos diran que el 1 es mejor en historia y demas, es entendible cada cual con su opinion pero NADIE dira que el gameplay es malo. Muertes muy violentas y reales, y mecanicas que me parecieron espectaculares. Muy contento y agradecido de haber vivido esta experiencia. Lo disfrute… Expand

    Honestly. they lost direction of the game, the only enjoyable things were the flashbacks and the overall graphics, 4 years of wait and I am heavily disappointed.

    TLoU2 is excellent, understand that a lot of hate comes from people frustrated by being an exclusive, by the representativeness and/or by the unexpected ending - and if you really played and tried to understand the proposal of the game, you know it was an excellent ending. It doesn't always have to be a happy ending.

    Finally I cleared the game, it brought me very complicated emotional changes, I don't want to describe too much.

Half the people here had given reviews on the day the game came saying they finished the game, so its almost obvious they haven't and are obviously just going by the spoilers. Don't bother with that. The game is an absolute must play and the story is amazing in that its truly realistic. But keep in mind it is extremely violent and dark and the graphics are on a whole another level.

    first of all: I don't care wether this review gets a lot of "non-helpful" ratings as I know that this game got review-bombed and many haters, homophobics and people that didn't play the games for themselves are here to spread their hate. And that's what haters gonna do - hate. Down-voting this and other positive reviews just underlines my statement anyway.

    I purchased the game on    first of all: I don't care wether this review gets a lot of "non-helpful" ratings as I know that this game got review-bombed and many haters, homophobics and people that didn't play the games for themselves are here to spread their hate. And that's what haters gonna do - hate. Down-voting this and other positive reviews just underlines my statement anyway.

    I purchased the game on release day and somehow managed to play the game unspoiled and didnt hear about the leaks before. So I was really blind to the game - and that just might be the point. I ADORE every piece and part of this game. The characters are so detailed, vivid, emotional,... Naughty Dog just proved once more that there are geniusrd in character and animation design working there. The story is action, hatred, anger but also love and a little laughter and this already in the first 60minutes in game.

    Just as the first game totally changed my priciples (I'd never shoot an uninvolved doctor, not even in vid games, but **** it, i shot everyone at the fireflies in part I) this game managed to do this as well. First i HATED to play the second protagonist of the game but more and more, the character developed, i felt pity, i began to understand, i even cried for him/her until everything merged together in an emotional roller-coaster-like climax.

    Screw the haters, as most of them didn't even played themselves or IF they did, they were already spoiled and made their bad opinion up in their head already - nothing could change these prejudiced people, they never gave the game a chance.

    Play it yourself, unspoiled or try to let yourself into the journey unbiased and you WILL NOT regret it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich habs jetzt nach 32 Stunden auf normalen Schwierigkeitsgrad durch.

    Zum Ersten: Ich bin verdammt froh, dass ich vorrab keine Spoiler abbekommen habe und mir auch seit einiger Zeit nichtmal die offiziellen Videos angesehen habe.

    Zum Zweiten: Letztendlich muss ich das erstmal alles sacken lassen, aber in meinen Augen ist es das beste Spiel, das Naughty Dog bisher abgeliefert hat... aber "perfekt" ist es definitiv nicht!

    Ich verrate zwar keine Story-Details, aber pack meine Meinung dazu dennoch in Spoiler...

    SPOILER:
    Gerade diese genderpolitischen Themen, die schon wohl dank der Leaks vorrab so heftig kritisiert wurden, sind leider tatsächlich die größten Schwächen im Spiel. Es ist nur lächerlich, dass einige das komplette Spiel darauf herunter reduzieren wollen, was in meinen Augen vielleicht 15-20 Minuten "fragwürdige Szenen" in einem über 30 Stunden langen Spiel sind. Und ich finde es auch gar nicht falsch, dass Entwickler solche Elemente in ihre Spiele einbauen, nur sollten sie es vielleicht etwas "klüger" wie Naughty Dog angehen. Ein paar Szenen wirkten einfach aufgesetzt, nur um scheinbar unbedingt ein Statement zu liefern.
    SPOILER ENDE
    Daneben ist die Story jetzt zwar nichts weltbewegendes, aber durchaus solide und ja, es gibt einige kontroverse Entscheidungen, die Naughty Dog hier trifft, die sicherlich nicht bei jedem gut ankommen...
    Sonst eigentlich schon, wie beim ersten Teil. Der Zünder für die Story ist ein sehr einfaches Element, das Ziel ist klar definiert, aber letztendlich sind die großen Hürden auf dem Weg das Spannende. Und gerade die Inszenierung macht das Durchspielen zum Erlebnis!

    An Gameplay und Grafik hab ich nichts auszusetzen.

    Die Präsentation ist für mich ungeschlagen... mich verblüfft es, dass hier einige der Meinung sind, dass es optisch eher in Richtung Enttäuschung geht. Ich hab das Spiel auf meiner PS4 Pro/HDR-OLED Kombination im stockdunklen Zimmer durchgespielt und ich bin schlichtweg überwältigt. Das Spiel macht eine überragende Figur in überwucherten Häuserschluchten, bis hin zu den stockdunklen "unteren Etagen". Ich bin aber auch Fan vom Filmlook, inkl. Filmkörnung, Motion Blur, Depth of Field etc. ... Und speziell in Sachen Charakterdarstellung und Animationen spielt Naughty Dog auf einem ganz anderen Niveau als alle anderen.

    Das Gameplay ist ebenfalls eine tolle Weiterentwicklung aus dem ersten Teil. Es bleibt dem gewohnten Gameplay sehr treu, aber es wirkt dank der neuen Möglichkeiten viel dynamischer.
    Die einzige Sache, die wie schon im ersten Teil stört... Der Begleiter ist für die Gegner praktisch unsichtbar. Ich hatte nur eine Szene im Spiel, wo tatsächlich mein Begleiter entdeckt wurde, und nicht ich. Aber da stand der Gegner etwa einen Meter direkt vor der Begleitung und selbst das war dann noch recht zögernd. Ich versteh, dass es frustrierend wäre, wenn die Begleitung dauernd Alarm auslösen würde... aber es sieht halt einfach dumm aus!    … Expand

    Really.... why did they change the story to focus on abby? it really not compatible to what Joel & ally fight for in the TLOU 1, it really pain to see Joel must die in the horrible way... really guys, the story is mediocre even thought the graphic is good. It just not worth it to buy....so dont buy the game is you dont want to get **** story

    Sony's GK will ruin our games, they can give Zedal 0 point, they can give halo 0 point, and they can give TLOU2 10 point. If you click into those account who give TLOU2 10 point, you will find that they only have 1 reivew. I'm here to against them, to protect our games.

    Story - 1/4 - The story is not only very much not enjoyable, but also poorly put together. Lots of random flashbacks, the characters aren't developed properly and the player has no choice whatsoever in the outcome of the game. Everything is scripted. Story weights 4 points for me because it should be the selling point of the game, but it was actually so shallow and dislikeable that i seriously can't find almost anything good in it. Only a couple of characters are actually well written and developed. The rest kinda makes you not even want to finish the game.
    Longevity - 0/2 - The single player story is something i'd never want to go through again, and compared to the first game there is no multiplayer. 25 hours at best, at least for me.
    Graphics and Audio - 2/2 - Not much to say here. The game is visually stunning.
    Gameplay - 1/2 - Basically the same gameplay from the first game, nothing wrong with it, but they could have made it a bit more interesting.

    Total: 4/10
    What's funny is that they critics are blaming the low user-score on the players, refusing to acknowledge anything wrong with the actual game. Anyone giving this game a 10/10 is clueless.    … 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]
