    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visuals & details: Simply amazing. The small details in posture and clothes are insane, and in general it's an incredibly beautiful game.

    Gameplay: While rather basic, NaughtyDog introduces some interesting concepts that creates a fairly progressing gameplay. The combat does get quite repetetive, but the introduction of new foes and combat mechanics it does work through the game.

    Story: The story is captivating and keeps you on the edge at all times. The intro is very dramatic and left me confused, but I do like NaughtyDogs brave writing. With the thought of the world being in a post apocalyptic state, a lot makes sense, especially the initial scene at the estate.

    The plot is quite basic: revenge/vindication. In most of those plots, the story will get quite shallow. However TLOU2 solves this in multiple ways. First off, the characters keep it interesting. I do think Ellie is quite shallow through the game, but the characters around her help give her more feelings, but more importantly I think the flashbacks fill Ellies development. The flashbacks ensure that the plot makes sense.

    However, what makes the story great in my opinion is the introduction of Abby. As said previously, the plot is quite basic. But seeing the plot from another perspective at the same timeline, parallell, is in my eyes incredible. Following the story from Abby's perspective is haunting. You know what will happen, and how certain things will happen. But it also fills a lot of blanks in Ellies story which, in themselves, would be quite weak story points.

    Now, there's been a lot of criticism against Abby and her story which I do not agree with. Yes, the intro of Abby is **** crazy and makes you hate her immediately. But if you cut out everything with Joel and Ellie, and just look at Abby's story, it makes sense. Therefore I believe that you need a complete neutral view on Abby to understand her character and story. All of her actions do make sense.

    The progression of Abby is also a classic and fine story. The initial antagonist that starts to understand her actions and embarks on a story of change. The introduction of Lev is great and everything that happens between Abby, Lev and Yara are in my opinion fully genuine and understandable, especially if you mix in Owen. Owen is such a great character which is the foundation of Abby's turn around, and the combination of these characters makes Abby's part of TLOU2 amazing.

    The side characters are all actually amazing and they feel so human, and everyone's presence make sense. Following them from two perspectives is also incredible and the first time you play as Abby in the WLF base is amazing and also depressing, knowing the fate of some of the characters.

    One last point that I think NaughtDog are extremely brave with is how certain characters endings are. They're abrupt and chaotic, which some people might call "surprise deaths". In the world of TLOU, with TWO games of Ellie, Joel and others killing people off left and right, it all makes sense that one mistake equals death. I love that ND actually kills off characters. It's realistic.

    All in all: The Last of Us Part II is an amazing game. The user score on metacritic makes zero sense and I believe that when looking back at this game in a couple of years, it'll be regarded as one of the greats. Graphics and game details are off the charts and is in league of RDR2 as game changing. The story and characters are absolutely incredible and the whole story kept me captivated at all times. The Last of Us Part II is just what the game series needed and is an aboslute must-play for everyone, and it's also a perfect ending to the era of PS4.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II is by far, the most unique, deep, and touching game I've ever played. It's far from being a perfect game but even when it lacks logic and goes around what fans liked about the first one, the absolute perfect gameplay, storytelling, and profoundness that NaughtyDog is known for always comes through. I found myself slightly disappointed with a lot of twists in the story and gameplay decisions (playing as Abby for example), but the way the game surrounds you with emotion, dilemma, and outstanding level design really makes most of the problems I had with the story worth it. I had a tough time figuring out how I felt while playing the game, I wasn't sure if I was liking it or not, but when I saw the end credits and my reflection on the black background, I realized they've done it again. As polarizing as this game is, NaughtyDog reaffirms itself as the best Triple-A developer there is today. The Last of Us Part II goes beyond political and social statements. The vengeful, obsessive and immersive story alongside the best graphic and level design I've experienced in a long time, come together to deliver an all-time must play and so far, the game of the year.… Expand

This story does not pan out the way a lot of us wanted it too, but that doesn’t take away from the quality of this magnificent game. The story it DOES tell is powerful and well told. The gameplay and graphics are greatly improved from the first. Great character development. This game IS a masterpiece, just a very brutal one. The player may not get the perfect happy ending they wanted, but we still got one flawless game, that deserves to win awards!

    Игра шикарная, 10/10. Прошел недавно. Сюжет оставляет депрессию после прохождения, но в игре такого рода это норма. Все кто минуст игру за сюжетные повороты и тем более ЛГБТ/Трасн. Что с Вами не так просто. Графика шикарная, технически - шикарно. Сравните условную взрывную стрелу из Цусимы и из ТЛОУ2 и все встанет ясно. Арагаджага респект кстати.Игра шикарная, 10/10.

    Это не лучшая игра этого поколения, даже хуже чем первая часть, но все равно она прекрасна, даже тем кому не очень нравиться сюжет будет интересно путешествовать по локациям, собирать записки, стрелять. Эта игра не справедливо обосрана, она заслуживает намного большего рейтинга от игроков.Это не лучшая игра этого поколения, даже хуже чем первая часть, но все равно она прекрасна, даже тем кому не очень нравиться сюжет будет интересно путешествовать по локациям, собирать записки, стрелять.

    The game is not perfect. 8 is my personal score, but it is deffenetly not a 0/10.
    The game looks insanely good, the combat and exloration addictive and realistic. There are some narrative dessicions that have no point at all and the music is not as dominant as i the first game. Other than that a solid ps exclusive.

    Wow...I finished it this morning and I can't stop thinking about it.I've never been this invested and immersed in a game before, I can barely find my words.
    The gameplay formula from the first game is much improved and the new mechanics, even if they seem simple, add a lot especially for stealth.Some sections from the second half of the game are peak survival-horror experiences.

    The visuals are out of this world and envoirments are huge with an insane attention to details.Every few minutes I had to stop and take the view in, not to mention how every place is packed with notes/items that tell stories of the people who once lived there.
    I was initially dissapointed with the story after reading all the leaks and the ending and even considered cancelling my preorder, but I couldn't because I pre-downloaded it, so I went into it expecting a great game with a terrible story.I was very, very wrong.Once I saw how everything unfolds I was blown away, the story is great, characters are extremly well written and even the ending, wich to me seemed irredeemable, turned out to be amazing.I'm never trusting leaks ever again, I can't believe I almost didn't play this.

    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]
