    I won't say what actually happens in this game but I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now. This is my own opinion in the game from my point of view and I think it is the best game I've ever played and it's because the story wasn't what I was expecting as I didn't look into anything about this as I didn't want to have the game ruined by spoilers that had leaked and I managed to avoid them.I won't say what actually happens in this game but I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now.

This game took me on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster that even after completing it almost a week ago is still sticking in my head and is haunting me. If you looked at videos into this game before buying it you'll only have yourself to blame for not wanting to play it and hating it as you will never have the chance to experience it from your own point of view. If you bought it and decided to stop playing it because of what happens in the story that's your choice. But I had to keep playing it to find out the truth of what happened and why it happend and I loved every minute of it as I didn't know what was going to happen next. I know the story is very dark and violent but I love those types of stories as you never know what is going to happen, where it will take you and how it will affect you. I would highly recommend this game as it has a great and unexpected story to it that will stick with you long after you've played it.… Expand

    The world of TLOU is harsh, cruel, and sorrowful, where humanity has been long strayed from its original values. A lot of people here say that the game is bad because of its story but I think TLOU part 2 deserves at least an 8, in an objective way for the landscapes, visuals, and gameplay - it's a breathtaking game and a mindblowing experience.

    C’est juste un des meilleur jeu de cette année et de surcroît digne de son premier episode . Une histoire forte et simple mais tellement efficace, et sur la technique il n’y a rien a lui reproché

    Amazing graphics, sound design, music, acting
    Less of those repetitive environmental puzzles
    A combat system which is well-polished (but don't expect it to be very deep or varied)
    A risky story which is not for everyone, but personally, I loved it
    Another masterpiece by ND imo

    This game is part 2, not last of us 2. In that sense, it is a perfect sequel and a masterpiece. Battle, graphics, animation, motion, sound, and story are all perfect games. GOTY.

    O gameplay é bom, isso é o máximo que dá pra dar de elogio para esse jogo. Agora a história meu Deus que monte de bosta, 7 anos esperando pela sequência de uma obra prima e no final o resultado é decepcionante. Isso tudo é resultado da ganância desses caras que só ligam pro dinheiro, queriam tanto chamar a atenção que arruinaram tudo.

    I understand why people didn't like this game. This is not the story I wanted, this is horrible and painful, but so is life, and i'm grateful because I am being treated as a human being and not as a consumist who gets everything what they want. Naughty dog wanted to tell a story, the did it and I lived it. Not the story I wanted, but the story I got, and it's brilliant.

    One of the greatest games I have ever played. Naughty Dog outdid themselves with the story, it’s like 2 full ND games in one and brought up the most emotions I have every felt with a video game. Gameplay/combat etc. is perfect. Getting ready to start a NG+ play through.

    I created an account just to review this game. It’s a masterpiece. The divisive story was a deliberate attempt to tell an emotionally draining tale in a world decimated by a fungal zombie outbreak. If you want mindless adventure, go play the Uncharted series.

The divisive story was a deliberate attempt to tell an emotionally draining tale in a world decimated by a fungal zombie outbreak. If you want mindless adventure, go play the Uncharted series. It’s a great series that is emotionally flat and fun to play. If you want to play a game that makes you love or hate characters and actually care what happens to them one way or another, this is the game for you. What story do you think would need to be told to justify the game’s existence? It wasn’t going to be about finding a cure or repairing society. Look at the Walking Dead. It’s about survival and building an existence with whatever morals and values remain in a society devoid of rule of law. The way the story forces you to empathize with all the characters or make you outright hate them is something I’ve never really seen in a video game before. Critics of this game keep forgetting that this is a video game. The graphics are spectacular. I’ve never seen a game with such complex animations with almost no glitches or clipping. It’s extremely polished and the environments are stunning. The way they created the football stadium caught me in awe as I took my time looking for little details. Same with the museum and aquarium that were made to tell a story and not much else. The sense of scale was extraordinary. The only other studio developing games with this level of detail is Rockstar. Also, don’t forget the rope physics that literally took 3 months to add to the final game. There’s a scene where a character takes off her shirt over her head and there is no clipping. Then you have the gameplay. The only gripe I have is that you are rewarded for combing environments constantly for ammo and items. It gets tedious after 27 hours. Plus you never know on your first play though if you should be saving your stronger weapons or holding on to the ammo for later. Besides that, the action is so intense and the violence is unprecedented in a game. The detail of the gore in this game may turn off all but the most hardened fans. Naughty Dog has mastered survival horror gameplay. I found myself playing sections late at night excited and scared to make it though a room of infested zombies. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed fighting the zombies but I sure loved fighting human enemies. While the AI is still not the best, outsmarting a group of humans or stealthy taking them out one by one is so much fun. You feel like such a badass at times. That said, I’m not a fan of fighting dogs or dealing with them tracking my scent. Finally, I don’t understand the issues with the gender identity of characters or the story at all. Naughty Dog made creative decisions. The story is meant to be bleak and they took real risks with the story. I applaud them for that. If you consider the narrative arc from the first game, the characters fate makes perfect sense from a storytelling perspective. The characters all react realistically given their past and motivations. Disagree with the story. Hate it. But don’t give this game a 1. It’s not a 1 and you all know it. If this game had zero story at all and just had you killing humans and zombies, devoid of context, it’s still a 7/10. The fact that people are all so riled up over the plot is exactly what Naughty Dog wanted. It sells games and polarized fans, and has us coming back for more. We want to know what happens next. Sure, the story has been more or less told before, but not this way in a video game. Not where you are forced to play as the divisive character where you don’t get to choose what happens. You play as a character and you must do what the narrative commands to finish. It makes you, at times, feel disgusting. That’s the point. It’s genius and it’s a masterpiece we will be talking about for years to come.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly a masterpiece. All the negative review stem from people either not understanding the game or not taking the time to play it at all. Joel’s death was a smart plot point and the story that was built from there was so well made that you really start to feel for all the characters. Abby was a character you were supposed to hate and then like, but the people who didn’t understand the game did not comprehend her story. The way Ellie and Abby parallel each other shows that they should be liked the same and it leads to a very interesting story.… Expand

    It’s a very emotional and compelling story that has a lot of complexity to it, the stories of Ellie and Abby are beautiful, but at the same time depressing. It’s kind of like a golf club to the head.

The gameplay, locations, and visual design are supremely engaging, and so is the story. Be wary of the many negative reviews, the story is bleak and upsetting for sure but that is its purpose and intention. It is quite naive and immature to assume that in a deadly post-apocalyptic world that people will behave rationally, morally, or even kindly to one another, and this poignant story explores those perspectives and themes. Many of these review bombers are simply upset that a beloved, albeit, selfish character is killed off early on (despite the fact that death is an increased reality of this game world and that death is the reality of our world too) refuse to give the game any credence thereafter. Many more are also deeply bigoted despite their claims that the ‘writing is just bad’. The game champions a queer hero (who has always been queer since the first game) and a trans character later on who actually fits into and serves the story. These diverse characters are lifted up by an ethnically diverse cast too which feels correct in today’s world. Notions that this game is pandering to queer people, women, and people of colour as a political message (when these diverse people are already existent in our real world) are completely biased and hateful. Especially the ‘joke’ that a certain character is unclearly a man or a woman because of their physique is transphobic and sexist. Please ignore these reviews and enjoy the game for what it is and keep an open mind. In saying all this, my only criticisms of the game is that for a story about revenge and violence it really ought to have a reward system for sacrificing your enemies, and there are also a few small moments where the great illusion of immersion are broken simply because the game tries so hard to be immersive (see, swimming underwater with a backpack full of notes and journals and gunpowder). It seems also that the west especially is not used to seeing their heroes fail, lose or regress, but this is all a part of the brutal but excellent reality that is the Last of Us Part II.… 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]
