    How could them lie to us.
    And shame on the bribed game reviews 9.5/10 is a joke.
    所以現在只要是負評都不給評分呢!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece. So Where to start?. The gameplay is phenomenal with some of the best stealth gameplay I’ve ever seen. The option to craft silencers as well as going prone actually make a huge difference. The animations set the bar for the gaming industry. Gustavo Santaolella has composed the soundtrack so well, it really makes the game experience so damn good. The sound design is amazing and playing with headphones increases the tension of each encounter, I’d highly recommend it. The graphics are some of
    best I’ve ever seen, it truly looks next gen. Now last but not least, the story. The story will definitely polarize players. It has some narrative choices that you may not like but as the story continues, these narrative choices make sense and ultimately work with the game’s theme of hate and the cycle of violence and how it challenges your notion of hero vs villain. In this game there are no heroes or villains, there are just people. The new characters are amazing. I’ll say that the supporting characters in Part II are much better than in the first game. But I’d say the best new character is Abby. The way her plot line was handled could have been executed a bit better. They could have made you play as her first and show her motives before a major event happened. Dina and Ellie’s relationship was amazing and I’d say Joel and Ellie were better but this was still an awesome relationship. The ending will divide everyone but I personally believe it shows redemption in an awesome way. Overall the game does have some flaws such as the way Abby’s plotline was handled but ultimately the game is a masterpiece and I would rate it as one of the best games of this generation. I still can’t decide between it or Red Dead Redemption 2. Thank you to Naughty Dog for blowing me away once again. I would recommend this game, despite all the review bombing and flaws a play through is most definitely worth it.    … Expand

    Le point de vue adopté par le scénario est incroyable de sens et donne à réfléchir sur nos propres prises de décision et sur les conséquences que cela peut engendrer. Les relations entre les principaux protagonistes sont abouties mais laissent un peu en plan certains personnage secondaire.
    Le système d'infiltration et de combat est encore mieux et la petite touche de customisation est appréciable. Dommage que la caméra soit trop centrée sur le personnage lors des modifications des armes. Le peu de défauts qu'on pouvait repérer dans le premier opus en termes de jouabilité est corrigé. Quant aux combats de boss, je n'ai jamais été autant partagé sur l'issue des affrontements.
    J’applaudis la prise de risque sur l'histoire racontée et je félicite les développeurs pour le travail rendu. Cette suite est digne du premier opus mais demandera un certain travail sur soi pour les personnes les moins ouvertes d'esprit. Je l'attendais avec impatience et je ne suis pas déçu.

    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.

    After finally completing the last of us 2, after a 7 year wait, I can assure u I was not dissapointed. I’m going to keep this review more brief than others and won’t be discussing any story spoilers. I’ll be going through 3 main topics. 1. Graphics. 2. Gameplay. 3. Story. Again, these will be brief Graphics. There hasn’t been a game on the ps4 or ps4 pro that looks as real,smooth and clean as the last of us 2 does. The first one set it standards high for its time just as this one does here. The motion capture is phenomenal to the point where I forgot I was watching a game. The detail in all the characters faces were just impeccable and have not been competed by any other game yet. The physics is a big part of the graphics imo and excel to the point I was jaw wide shocked. No game has competed with these graphics

    2. Gameplay. 1 issue, and the only one, I had with the first game was the gameplay at times could be a bit dull. It was rare, but I found myself doing the same things over and over again. So I was worried for this new games gameplay system. I didn’t think they would do a good job, but I was wrong and believe this is the most realistic gameplay ever. The melee weapons feel heavy and clunky and I couldn’t help but notice the extreme levels of details all animations, swings and such went too. It was extremely satisfying to get the last hit of a machete to the neck of an enemy.

    3. Story. I will say it now, I have never been so shocked and moved by a story to date. The way this story moves forward is so unexpected and is similar to the writing you see in masterpiece movies. The story introduces some new characters that you get attached to instantly with well written writing. Escpeiclaly a new main character/villain follows ideas that are just as noble as Ellie’s. I could go on and on about the story, but it is different and I don’t think a game will ever get as good as a storyline than this masterpiece.

    Verdict. Last of us 2 is a game that excels in everything the first game did, and then some. It’s truly the greatest in most of its aspects such as gameplay, story and graphics. Last of us 2, in my opinion, is the greatest game of all time, even slightly better than its predeseccor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely terrible, boring and lazy plot, betraying all the characters we have come to know in TLOU previously. You will see all the online critics excuse the low user score as reviews bombing by haters and that people who reviewed this have very few hours into the gameplay so their opinion does not matter. No, I don't need to sit through the entire 3 hrs of Batman v Superman to feel that the movie is boring and pointless. The plot of this game makes characters act completely out of character like Joel who were always overly cautious and suspicious of others suddenly declare his infamous name in front of a bunch of militia; or Ellie who has zero internal struggle in morality when it comes to killing off dozens of people who merely associated to Abby who murdered Joel, but when it comes to the actual perpetrator of the crime, Abby, somehow Ellie feels conflicted, despite Abby even bit off two fingers of hers and render her no longer able to play guitar. Well-written and complex characters that we have grown to love from the first game is killed off for cheap shock value. I never disagree that Joel should die. But his death should complete his arc and requires more buildup. Anyone can spend 5mins and think of a better story buildup than this unprofessional writing.

    Besides, while you can claim the review score is biased from the review bombing from haters, you can very well say the same for the online critics who are used as a marketing tool for the industry. Therefore for me it sounds like a convenient excuse for the overwhelming negative reviews. By passing off negative comments as "haters" and "bigots" for reasons against LGBT, you never have to address how bad this game truly is.

    What a waste of my time this game has been. I can't believe I actually waited nearly 7 years for this piece of trash. I actually hate myself for playing and completing this game, even ruining the replayability for the first game for me since now I know how trash the ending is. But what do I know right? I am just a cis male with a fragile masculinity who obviously hate the game for the fact that Ellie is a lesbian and Abby looks like a dude with only 3 days in after the game is released, so my opinion doesn't matter.    … Expand

    I love the first game. Especially the ending made you question your position in the story, and who you really are. In the Last of us Part 2, this happens all the time. The story is real and believable, and both Abby and Ellie have a reason to hate each other. Lev and Dina are also very good characters, and I was frankly heartbroken when Ellie came back to the house, and everything    … Expand

    How can you take meta critic seriously?
    Most critic reviews speak little about the game itself and a lot about how "Politically brave" it is. My god has the gaming industry fallen low.

    This game is horrible. Terrible writing to the point I can only think of it as a parody of the former game.

Bad pacing, loss of focus, takes a massive turd on the first game. And throws in some cliche trops like the museum and the wounded animal bits to make up for the bad writing.

    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]
