    Scheiß auf das ganze drumherum. Dieses Spiel ist einfach das beste Spiel aller Zeiten. Wahnsinn, vor allem wenn man dabei zwischen den Zeilen liest.

    Best artwork put into a game ever. Music, graphics, facial expressions... just groundbreaking. The game just doesn’t get a 10 because the “new story” isn’t far as profound as the one in TLOU1. However, the story is not what I would call “bad” and its parts directly linked to the first one are as awesome as it was in the first game. The thing is, TLOU1 has set the bar too damn high.

    All in all, TLOU2 is great and Naughty Dog is the best storyteller in the gaming industry for sure. Totally worth it.    … Expand

    Just finish the game and it's gotta be the best gaming experience I've ever had. I love how they design the game that can only be experienced in this media. They showed us how a hero in one story is a villain in others and they gave us the best ending we could ever get. The world is not perfect, human are not perfect. If you don't realize it and only want fairy tales, please go away. ThisJust finish the game and it's gotta be the best gaming experience I've ever had.

    I cryd a few times because the Story is so deep and you feel with the Characters. You feel the pain and the madness of Elli. A another Point is absolutely fantastic you see the Story from different Sites and because of this you understand why these people do this Things and at the End the hole Story makes sense. For me its the best game I've ever seen before.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part II is a tough game to review since after I beat the game I enjoyed it and would have given the game a 9/10. However, after thinking about the story and analyzing the game's story, I realized how poor the writing was. The gameplay is a 10/10, it's versatile, each combat encounter can be tackled in a different way. The player can stealth kill enemies, go in guns blazing, or mix gunplay with stealth. The sound is fantastic, gun shots sound realistic, the voice acting is top notch and the environment sounds are great like the sound of the currents of a stream or the snow being trampled under the players feet. Another impressive aspect of the game are the graphics. It is impressive that the ps4 can output visuals like in the Last of Us part II. The first Last of Us was known for its excellent story and satisfying ending. The Last of Us part II falls short in the story and because the main selling point of the game was the narrative, I deduct 6 points for the manipulative writing. Neil Druckman clearly wants to manipulate the player into vilifying Ellie and loving Abby. However, Neil and Haley Gross fail in every conceivable way. First of all, in the story Ellie kills a dog when she goes to the aquarium, however, when playing as Abby the player plays with the dog that Ellie kills. The reason ellie hunts Abby is because she kills Joel in the most brutal way, its a cheap shock value move. The problem is Abby just is an irredeemable character, she revels in violence and killing. For example, Abby feels nothing for how she killed Joel or when she goes to hunt Ellie for killing her friends she holds a knife to Dina's neck about to slit her throat when Ellie tells her she is pregnant and Abby responds "good", reveling in the idea of slitting Dina's throat, before Lev stops her from slitting Dina's throat. Ellie, on the other hand, feels remorse when she kills people involved in Joel's death. Ellie beats a woman to death in order to force information out of her, and Ellie feels remorse. Ellie kills two people in the aquarium, one of whom was pregnant, Ellie collapses in remorseful guilt. Even though Neil and Haley wanted players to feel for Abby and shun Ellie, the opposite ends up happening. Players end up feeling for Ellie and hating Abby with a passion. The reason I use the writers names instead of the company, Naughty dog that developed the game is because in the past when Amy Henig was in charge, the writing was excellent and the games were superb. Those games under Amy were 9/10's. Neil Druckman cheapens Naughty Dog's IPs and should not be forgiven for ruining the Last of Us series for good.… Expand

    U can't deny it.
    Cuz we all love Joel & Ellie.
    Kinda hurt when I saw Joel died.
    You just can't believe it.
    Oh my God!!
    U know that hurts a lot.
    Never wanna play it again.
    Everyone feels the same way.
    Impossible to forget how Joel left.
    Love naughty dog still though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually find it annoying that this game was bombed with negative reviews within hours of its release. As someone who has played the entire game I can confidently say that it is amazing, I do not believe it is better than the first one however it doesn't come too far off. The fact that people are giving the entire game 0 out of 10 reviews is a shame before even playing it because they're pressed about the death of Joel. Regardless I never thought of that to be a problem when it came to gameplay or visuals, people are saying the entire game is trash due to the fact that they're butthurt about one thing which truly is unfair to people who wanted to play the game as they get a misconstrued idea of what the game actually is. I had no problem with any of the gameplay, in fact I believe the gameplay aspect was better than the first. The biggest criticism of the game is the storyline, I agree it is worse than the first game but as a whole it really isn't even a quarter as bad as people make it out to be. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending sequence between Ellie and Abby, I understand peoples frustration how she didn't even end up getting killed because trust me, I was just as annoyed. However, people don't appreciate the cutscenes we got between Ellie and Joel which to me provided more meaning to their relationship and ended the game in almost a perfect manner. I didn't care who I controlled, as long as I got a good game and I certainly did. Though as the player we are tasked with the impossible challenge to feel sympathetic toward Abby, we at least are provided with an explanation to her motives and know what her revenge story is as the game isn't completely about Ellie, and the gameplay we are given whilst controlling Abby is some of the best in the game (such as the hotel and hospital sequences). If you are a salty 14 year old kid who can't deal with the fact that the main character isn't playable in this game, you need to grow up, Naughty Dog took a bold move and still made one of the best games to play without him. Its not like we saw nothing of Joel the whole way through, in fact the cutscenes we got were probably more meaningful than any gameplay we could have had with Joel, so I advise people to actually play the game - yes the story isn't as good but the game is incredible… Expand

    Honestly I don't get the negative reviews. The story is coherent and has a clear theme.

    Maybe you could mess with the order of events a little that might help some people. I took a short break after seatle day 3 because I felt I was rushing *possible spoiler* to getting back to play as Ellie.    … Expand

    This game sent me on an emotional rollercoaster, I’ve cried happy and sad tears, It’s such a beautiful but also very heartbreaking game at the same time.
    I appreciate the fact that this game feels real. Life isn't just black and white and it sure as hell isn't a fairy tale.
    What an absolutely incredible experience

    The story writing is poor compared to the first part. But the game looks beautiful and breathtaking. Gameplay got improved, and overall I liked it. But it will never be as wonderful as the fist part.

    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]
