    a masterpiece graphically, and gameplay, but the last of us is good because of the story, The Last of us part 2 is horrible in the story...

    Too hype for a normal game, the lgbt crap ideology partially screwed up the story. because it is bad anyway. Gameplay leaves something to be desired, repetitive, undoubted good graphics but its setting, houses, etc. are repeated and there is not much interaction with the world

    Mrs Lucy O'Brien wrote that if I rate this "mediaproduct" less than 12/10 then I'm an incel and destined to be a lifelong virgin. At least I can say, thar for me it is a more favourable outcome then actually playing this liberal sjw product

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really destroyed by a poor story. They have used the old revenge story as a crutch to make a sequel instead of writing something interesting in the beautiful world they created. The killing of joel is a perfect example of trying to shoehorn a character into this game that has not earned their place and then being forced to play as that character is just insulting. They do not redeem themselves and instead come across as psycopathic. The ending is a big let down with no payoff. They think they are being clever by letting Abby go when in fact its just weak storytelling. The good are the graphics, which are beautiful. The voice acting is good. The game play is OK and though a step forward is not a huge step. I enjoy playing games as an escapist means to get away from the world. With this game too much of the world follows you in and makes it a tedious affair.… Expand

    The Combat has been refined and added onto significantly, the story makes you question everything you fight for. Definitely a must-play and an amazing swan song for the PS4 No spoilers. Just play it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I have to do an Review for that because I can understand why ppl are angry about the decision what ND did in the characters design and in the Story. The big BUT is that is the goal in this game to make you angry to feel the same what the characters feels to great an character like Abby is all about it to make some ppl angry. People are fearing what is not normal. Abby is an Charakter I have to fight with me because I cannot understand her motivations to be like a strong woman (Man) this Charakter could be also a man and the whole story would work also with the sex scene. That Charakter it out of place it not polished she feels forced in the game with a better storytelling about her motivation to be like a strong woman or be like a man maybe I wouldn’t think about it so much. The whole problem about emancipation is that women’s doesn’t want be a strong women the want to be like a man and lose their whole identity to be an women and that is what Abby is a man. When that is Abbys feeling I’m fine with that but then it should be more an topic in the game to be act like it is normal ND doesn’t have to make to an topic and we player won’t understand why she is like that is bad character design.

    But why I give that game an 10/10 because like I said the story would work also with other characters. For me was that game a emotional rollercoaster. I played it on survivor. The game is challenging on the difficulty I died a lot of dead’s with exploring almost every place I beat the game in 33h and i think for the platinum I need 15 more hours. The level design an master piece so many little details I have never seen in a game. The whole world looks so real an realistic an a life great work. The Acting and the Charakteranimation looks so realistic that I have to think about that is not a real movie.
    The game mechanics and the Charakter AI is much better then in the first game on survivor I had a lot of fun to think about with the lack of resources to fight an overpowered enemy. The Blood an violence is also one of the best what I have seen you really can feel the pain and what you have done with your tools to other humans like you.

    The Storytelling is on of the best what I have played so fare. Like I said emotion roller coaster. The perspective change from different characters is a good choice to feel the pain and the love from every character. I really can feel Abbys feelings (not or motivation about her identity) and Ellis feelings and there wasn’t only blood what flows in the game also my tears.


    Thank you ND I love you for that Game experience I will talk and think about it for Years like with the first game. Pls when ND decided do make Charakter with a other sexual or body identity then pls explain why we player can understand it and can more fit in the perspective of that character most of the ppl don’t know that feelings or why the are like that so for that ppl would it be great to tell them why.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no idea why people are bashing this game.. What happens early in the story is the driving force for a story that compelements the first one in a perfect way. I kept myself away from the leaks and even avoided most of the trailers, but knowing that it'll be a revenge story, I knew what was going to happen and I was prepared for it. The plot point that I'm talking about didn't make me want to flush the game. It made me seek revenge and that was the force that kept me going, until my mind was so complicated by the masterful storytelling that I didn't even know what I wanted anymore. The game kept me totally on the hook and left me breathless in the end. Visually and gameplay-wise it obviously tops the first one and I had a lot of fun playing through it. The story was emotionally hard experience, but I enjoyed every single second of it. I've played a lot of games during my life. Multiple universally acclaimed titles and I'm brutally honest when I'm saying this: The Last of Us Part 2 is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. I'm really bad with top lists, but this game (together with the first one) belong to the top three. A true masterpiece. Hands down.… Expand

    LoU2 is the greatest action movie I've watched this decade. As a video game is awful. And the first one is also way overrated as a video game. You should be making movies Druckmann, I really enjoyed the story and YOUR characters. Also, amazing work by the graphics team. There are some impressive graphics for such an underpowered console.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, my opinion about this game is just a view of this Elly story.
    I like this game, it's something new, gameplay, grafic and music are beautiful.
    But not a Story.
    When I start to play this game I think "That it is, yes! I wait for it so long and now I can enjoy it"
    But no..
    Just look at the start of story, poor Joel, I know, he must die, but not like that, not at the begining, hell no.
    Abby story sucked.
    The plot could be built differently, I was disgusted to play for Abby, I do not understand why we were given control over her.
    It was an absolutely superfluous story in this game, it was possible to mitigate the motivation for killing Joel in 2-3 cutscenes.
    Throughout the game, I could not express Abby's compassion. I liked Owen more, who was never disclosed as a character.
    Ellie’s motivation at the end of the game is not clear, why, for what?
    Thx for game Dog, but it's the poor END of this story...    … Expand

    Story is trash. If you liked the tlou1 for the great characters, this is not the game for you. All the characters returning and new, are unlikeable, vapid, and unsympathetic no matter how the dev's wanted them to be.

    The game play is uninspired and repetitive. The narrative drags on and on, and seems to have a bizarre fetish for torture and needless violence. This compounds with the jarring ludonarrative dissonance of Ellie choosing to spare abby in the end despite having no problem with the massive body count the average player will inevitably rack up in a playthrough. Overall save your money, wait for a sale, or watch a stream of the story if you for whatever reason just have to experience this illconcieved sequel.    … Expand

Story is awful, the whole game is based around Ellie getting revenge for Joel's death and after killing a ton of survivors and then decides to let the villain go after they killed Joel, killed her girlfriend and cut her fingers off. The message behind the story is that you can get away with whatever you want as long as you're trans. Not to mention most of the game you play as the villain instead of the main character.… Expand

    Besides the obvious — that is, graphics are phenomenal, the dynamics of the franchise continues to be engaging, the soundtrack is amazing leaving you tense like a apocalypse should —, this game goes beyond anything expected because of its plot.

    It is so well developed that I find myself feeling at a loss of words for it, like anything I would say, it would make it no justice.

    First of all, it shows us that in a war, there is no right or wrong, no war is a justified war. All sides are cruel. All sides loses (not only their people, but their very own humanity). It talks about fascism, religion fanaticism, it talks about sexuality, includes different ethnicities (and particularly, as an asian myself, I was very pleased with fellow asian characters).

    But Naughty Dog must’ve felt that wasn’t enough: I have never, in my life, felt so many emotions while playing a game. And not only that, how the game managed to lead my emotions exactly how it wanted to, the way it wanted to. And not just one at a time. A big ball of mixed emotions all together and bursting. I felt love, sadness, anger, empathy, compassion, horror to human cruelty... all apart and together at the same time. And because we, as players just watching those experiences, feel like that, we can understand how big of a mess must be the characters emotions, because theoretically they are living it. And besides all that, the human relations this game has built are so well put together and truly feel genuine. There’s no such thing as black and white. Right ou wrong. Perfect hero or monstrous villain. I lost track how many times my emotions were so all over the place that I actually cried (and not that rolling-down-cute-tears kinda crying, it was the ugly-cry kinda crying). Or how many times I was literally with my mouth open.

    If it were possible to nominate a game to Oscar, I think The Last of Us Part II would deserve to be nominated. This go beyond the gaming world. This is truly a masterpiece. To be able to play it, it was an experience I’m sure I will cherish forever.    … Expand

    The strongest golf game in 2020, I can't play it alone. As a ball, Joel completed the task perfectly.
    Seriously, since the game wants us to let go of hatred, should game companies and websites put it down in the face of negative reviews from players?

    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]
