    Kann die ganze negative Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. Das Spiel ist keine Revolution aber sicherlich in Storytelling, Balance und allem anderen ein Meilenstein PUNKT

    Best game ever! It was both moving and captivating. I've never posted a review and probably never will again unless you make a sequel, but I had to post in this case. Thank you for making this game and everything that it took to do it!

    Wonderful two-sided storytelling for both of Heroes and villains showing their consequences for the actions of both. Story devastated my heart and made me want to kill them all. But, yet by the end of it i grew and felt stronger and more mature after it.
    The game play was beautiful and the environments stood out. Congrats Naughty Dog

    Perfecto, es el mejor juego, me encanta, es igual e incluso mejor que el primer juego, sus mecánicas son excelentes. Aunque hubiese preferido que Joel muriera de otra manera :(

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is zero score. I had to give the maximum score to rate it properly, ZERO. For me, this game is a crime against humanity. It hurts really deep down all the fans that spent so many hours with Joel and Ellie.. and ecperienced so much.. creating a bond with the characters even.. and I think that this game is intended to hurt the people the most so they can call it "a masterpiece". If this game is their intelectual property... DO WE NOT HAVE RIGHTS to protect our mind and well being from this sad and trafic event in gaming history? The responsible for this game existence should know that his decisions will have an impact so negative in TLOU fans lifes.. I personally I was devastated.. and didnt feel well.. and notice many players stopped it right after Joel Death part.. its overwhelming...this shouldnt be allowed for people/fans/players to experience. I can't say anything anynore about this. Please, save yourself and do not give your money for this. Remember to choose wisely where you spend your money, it's like voting. A vote of faith. And they have broken fans/people/players faith, a lot of players will drop a tear as I did.. and stopped the video on youtube. All I hope for the rest of you, is stay safe until the end. Be happy.… Expand

    ALL the mechanics are better, the story is the opposite of the First game. But in a great way, because they are both powerfull discussions.

    This game is fantastic. If you liked the first one you will like this. It's a 10 from me and anyone who says it's below an 8 is lying and just upset about that there are gay characters

    This is the best game ever.
    I don't know whether I wanna pity or despise people who review bomb this game but while the impression of the game is still strong I choose the pity - I hope one day you grow up and learn to appreciate this piece of art. This work is an unique gem of gaming and I'm glad we have it. Totally worth the wait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no issues with the graphics, the graphics, sound design, environments, Ai, all are beautifully crafted and designed, my flaws lie in the story, it felt rushed, poorly paced in places and Abby one of the playable characters, I struggled to sympathise with as she seemed to be comfortable with her fulfilled revenge, going as far as to slaughter her own men towards the middle climax at the theatre. She shows no conflicting emotions about her torturing of Joel. I feel if she had been fleshed out some more and shown to be a flawed Human being, then I would be rating this differently.
    I expected a even greater follow up to the masterpiece of last generation, however I was left with a feeling of hopelessness and a conflicted message. For Abby she gets revenge, a new purpose by the end of the game, and will likely have new friends in the fireflies. She also seems satisfied with most she does, even going as far as to tempt an old flame away from his Pregnant Girlfriend. For Ellie she struggles and gets destroyed me tall, physically and figurately stomped emotionally as she struggles with the morality of her choices. And is left with a bittersweet memory of what could have been.

    The marketing leading up to release had built my expectations to be an Joel and Ellie centred story. And It's false advertising to me, a Joel was in the game a total of an hour and 35 mins total.

    I really loved this game. I waited for over seven years in order to play the sequel to the original one and it was very well worth it. I cried for over an hour with the ending and during a critical plot point at the beginning. I was fortunate enough not to have the story spoiled for me beforehand but, even if I had, the leaked spoilers don't mean anything out of the context they areI really loved this game. I waited for over seven years in order to play the sequel to the original one and it was very well worth it. I cried for over an hour with the ending and during a critical plot point at the beginning. I was fortunate enough not to have the story spoiled for me beforehand but, even if I had, the leaked spoilers don't mean anything out of the context they are presented in the actual game.

    The graphics are great, borderline next-gen. The sound design is great and scary at times. The game-play is amazing and a fantastic evolution of the first game's, with many varied kinds of weapons, crafting materials and ways to approach both exploration and combat. Puzzles are ingenious and actually require thinking to solve, unlike the first game. The secrets and collectibles are very well hidden and are very rewarding to find and actually useful to your journey. The lore, the side stories and the people who live in this world are intriguing, deep and relatable. The animations are outstanding and very realistic. The artificial intelligence of the enemies and allies is impressive. The game is full of beautiful, realistic-looking landscapes, detailed models, but also very explicit gore and violent combat which I liked. The story is unique, mostly unpredictable, tense and very well told, the writers know really well how to curve your expectations and how to play with your emotions. It took me 39 hours to finish the game by playing slowly and carefully exploring every area I could, but even then I didn't find all the collectibles on my first play-through. I imagine you could finish it in 20 hours or so by only playing through the main objectives.

    The conservative snowflakes who got triggered that some characters are gay or whatever are blowing things way out of proportion. Those aspects of the characters aren't relevant to the overall plot, aren't their only defining characteristics, and the game doesn't even delve deep into those topics or into politics at all for that matter, not to mention that some of those aspects were already touched upon in the previous title's Left Behind expansion. Even if the game did push a political agenda (which it doesn't), that wouldn't necessarily, in my opinion, be a reason to negatively review the game. Let's be adults and learn to appreciate works of art for what they are, even if we disagree with the message. Most of the negative reviews I'm seeing here are from those kinds of people and from people who didn't even play the game and are just spreading hate for no logical reason.

    Some of the legitimate negative reviews I’ve read say that they didn't like the story, or the ending, or the tone of the plot, or that the actions of the characters didn't fit their established personalities, or even that they didn't like the events that happened to the characters in the game. I disagree with them but I somewhat understand where they are coming from.

    This is not an optimistic, lighthearted, cliche, money-grabbing, fan-serving sequel or a happy game at all, this is a gritty, deep, mature game with a sad, tragic, post-apocalyptic story which might not be everybody's cup of tea, I get it; but that doesn't mean that the game itself is bad or that the story is poorly written. I would even venture to assume that many of the people who didn't empathize with the motivations of the characters have yet to experience any major loss in their lives or are just not the kind of people who are prone to violence or trauma, or perhaps they simply weren't open enough to something other than what they internally expected the game to be.

    I didn't like that improved melee weapons don't work exactly as they did in the original game, where the added parts were spent first and had a separate durability than that of the main melee weapon. I liked the soundtrack a lot, especially the tracks that play during combat and tense sections but I feel like it was missing a more memorable and catchy main theme like the one the first game had. I am beyond disappointed that you don't get to visit the Space Needle, you see it at a distance and the characters even acknowledge it but you never get to go there. I've never been to Seattle but if you're going to set a game in there I feel like it is a huge missed opportunity not to include the most iconic landscape of the city in it. I am also a little disappointed that we didn't get to know more of the past of one of the main characters, perhaps that could be explored in a standalone expansion like the first game did with Left Behind. An improved multiplayer mode like on the first one would have been nice but it’s not a deal-breaker. I would also have done things differently at the very end of the game had I written the story or if I were the character but, as it is, it's still a powerful, strong closing to this amazing journey.

    The game is totally worth it, I strongly recommend it. Do not listen to the hate, play it and judge for yourself.    … 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]
