    Brilliant graphic, good music, decent game play. None of the good elements can compensate for the horrendous storytelling. Think I sort of get what those self-proclaimed artists at Naughty Dog wanted to tell, but they failed, miserably.

    I've finished.
    I still have very different feelings and for several days now I have been thinking about all this ... I can hate this game ... I can love this game ...
    I can hate her because the game has become uncompromising, tougher and ruthless. You crawl every story through yourself, think about each side of the conflict, understand and accept every choice, even if you don’t always    I've finished.

Because this is a very complicated and difficult story and if you are not ready to deal with it, I am very sorry ...
    In the end, I love this game with all my heart. For the story and plot, for each character, for each difficult choice, for emotions, tears, joy and disappointment, for the world of the game, for absolutely all the details. This is a brilliant game, this is a masterpiece ... For all this. Many thanks to the entire development team. I hope this is not the end of the story ...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was such a disappointment. I can't believe that, after seven years, our beloved characters had their fates decided by what moved the plot better. This could have been a fantastic game. However, for as much as the graphics are amazing, plot is central to the story and it wasn't good. They should have stuck to Ellie and Joel all along.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you really enjoy games, like the first installment, which hold character building as a core element to it's narrative. You are going to HATE this game. Usually in a "sequel" built off of main characters, you keep typically expand upon what u already got to know and love about each main character, in this garbage. You instead have to face the fact that the company wanted to try something they thought was fresh. Which instead ends up being a complete slap in the face of the original intention. I went into this expecting to have to shocking moments, yes. But not completely killing off both main characters to try pushing some alt-narrative in order to try appealing to a larger fan bases while at the same time telling actual fans to go kick rocks is absurd. Who does that? Not even terrible C rated movies do your main ppl like that. While this on the other hands feels like the developers thought that ruining the legacy of both Ellie and Joel and making it some lame gender neutral twist as something the majority could relate to is beyond words. What kind of b.s PR do they have? Who is ever going to take them seriously again. Like idk about you but I was invested in Ellie and Joel after the first game. So why the F would they decide to end thier stories so abruptly and give no credence to thier potential arch. While now you HAVE to like Abby as she will end up being the next character in tlou 3. Yet no one actually liked her to begin with! Hell she's the c*** who killed joel in the first place, why would you make a game to follow her steps? Do you think The Lord of The Rings would of been the same if JRR Tolkien killed off Frodo, Aragon, and Gandalf in the begining of the 2nd film? Absolutely not! The Main characters you got to love in the 1st are what makes the rest. While yes adding some new ones can enhance the overall depth but you simply can't rely on a 3rd installment having nothing to do with the main characters but instead some PR b.s. that holds no depth or care to its audience or the story that was originally supposed to be told. Because if you wanted to created a zombie game with different characters, name it something else. F*** this game, and the next one. Save your money,. Also P.S character interactions in this game do not represent how real life is actually structured.

    3 out of 10 for ruining the whole reason why you played the 2nd in the first place.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like others I do have criticisms but this game was an amazing experience that I recommend for any PS4 owner who can handle some heavy themes and violence, it's rare that games will sit with me for days after I've finished it and make me think about alot of things but this one certainly did, this game will definitely captivate you & draw you into the world but the violence and themes will pretty much put you in constant feelings of despair and I mean that as a compliment because I would have hated this even more if it wasn't that type of experience due to the subject matter, there are some lighter moments in there and some Joel/Ellie time to mellow out the player and I enjoyed Dani/Ellie's interactions for the most part so I assure you it's not all doom and gloom, the game has a variety of emotions that it will put through like most other games wont, the way this game captivated me and drew me into the story definitely overcomes some of the critiques I have on certain parts of the game.

    There are a lot of nonsense reviews on here so I'll go into the fake criticisms and some of the legitimate one's.

    In terms of the nonsense one's, I'd say a good 90% of the 1 and 0 rates are made up of the below group of people, just ignore these reviews, 1 and 0's should be dedicated to the very worst of games, even if you don't like story of this, the way the game plays, looks and sounds is well above your usual terrible game.

    In terms of the 3 nonsense types of reviews:

    . People that believe the game is making a political message by having LGBT characters, just because these people don't exist in your bubble doesn't mean they don't exist at all and that it wouldn't be plausible to have these types of characters in this world, how this is taken as a political message is absolute trash just like you people are as human beings for having an issue with it, these people have not played the game and ironically are making a political statement themselves by hate rating it down for the reason's I've mentioned above.

    .People that have just read the leaked spoilers and are just annoyed the story isn't going the way they want it to, again they haven't played the game so the rating is nonsense.

    .XBOX and switch players targeting popular PS4 only games, these people do exist, again haven't not played the game so the 1's and 0's should be ignored.

    Onto the legitimate criticisms, some of which I agree with:

    The way ABBY was incorporated the game is definitely something I agree is mishandled, I understood Abby and her reasons for going after Joel are understandable but just because I can understand it, it doesn't mean she is a likable character and I'm not sure why they thought anyone would want to play as here for multiple hours especially considering when we jumped to Abby was at a completely key part of the game that had been built up for half the game and it kind of felt like this was something I had to get through to get back to where I wanted to go and video games shouldn't feel like chores, I had no issue seeing the other perspective because I felt it was key in what this game was trying to get across but I felt you could of just done the Abby play though in 45 minutes to an hour tops.

    Joel's death, I would agree it was slightly to early but I don't have an issue with them doing it, to tell this revenge story it had to be Joel, it wouldn't have worked with anyone else, in terms of how they did it, it was a little bit of a stretch to buy two pro's in Tommy and Joel easily trusting a brand new group and it was probably a bit to early in the story but it was something I could look past considering some of the quality of the rest of the game.

    In terms of what I loved about this game, the graphics are absolutely incredible and i'm not sure I think of a game that wowed me this much in that regard, I loved the original but I did have a few criticisms on the combat and AI system in that game but I felt they definitely improved it here and it plays/looks really nice, the expressions of the character/facial animation are fantastic and express what the characters are feeling really well.

    I think Ellies part of the story is great and was completely captivated by the ride she took the player on, in terms of Abby's side I did enjoy the Scar island part, mainly because of some of the great visuals and fight scenes when all hell breaks loose.

    Some of the little things like the sound design of some of the violence was a great touch, the stealth kills felt more personal when you had other enemies yelling out their names reminding you that your not just killing robots but actual people who have loved one's, the way some of the more gruesome scenes were done really well and did a great job of making the player uncomfortable, little things like this game me more engrossed in a story.    … Expand

    Strongly. A deep story that did not leave me indifferent. The themes that the game raises make you think about many things. Questions of humanity, violence, and forgiveness. What Ellie and other important story characters experience, you feel for yourself. Question: "what would I do?" A difficult story that manages to both amuse you and leave you alone with not the most pleasant thoughts.Strongly. A deep story that did not leave me indifferent.

The same gray moral that permeates, that permeates the whole plot. It's beautiful. Years of waiting and hope. Naughty Dog did an incredible thing. A great intense gameplay that you dive into with your head. Excellent technical work. The game looks so amazing that I kept stopping and just looking at the surroundings. For this Titanic work, my low bow. Naughty Dog, thank you for the masterpiece continuation of the masterpiece game. Infinite respect to you. The emotions that your story has given me are incomparable to anything else. The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2-this is the story that I will remember for the rest of my life.

    If you didn't enjoy the game, you simply are an average homophobic / male chauvinist.

    Excelente story, a lot of characters, more gore, better gameplay that its predecessor. When a character dies, dies, nothing of cliche deaths.

    The story with Abby is awesome, you can properly connect with the character and understhand she.

    10/10 masterpiece.

    Then the end wasn’t what I expected, a lot of hype for the game and really, not that great.
    It’s good, you could play it, but, don’t get high expectatives in the story finale.

    Graphics 10/10 one of the best graphics Music 8/10 really the last of us 1 had a great soundtrack but the last of us 2 doesn’t have like a track that i would remember, only the singed songs

    Gameplay 9/10 it’s the same strange layout from the last of us 1 but they included new things like crawl, dodge and jump so, it’s cool and new/old weapons from the previous game

    After all, a cool game but not what every fan was expecting, still, give it a try. It’s worth it    … Expand

I was more than ready to give the game a 6 or 7, and was very mad at the ending, but once I let it all sink in I realized how good it was.

Gel gelelim hikaye kısmına ben the last of us 1 deki ellie joel arasındaki sevginin joelin ellie yi kızı yerine koyup onun için herşeyi yapacağını oyunun sonunda gördük fakat gel gelelim part 2 ye bunca senelik beklentiyi hikaye olarak hiç karşılamadı.

    ilk olarak ellie karakterini ele alalım: Ellie 1.oyunda joelle şakalaşırdı ve çok tatlı aralarında bir takılmaca olurdu bu çok hoştu fakat part 2 kısmına geldiğimizde ellienin dans sahnesinde joelin onu korumasına rağmen terslemesi bağırıp çağırması joelin ellienin gözlerine bakıp birşey diyemeden oradan gitmesi ve joele kötü muamele etmesi çoğu sahnede biz oyunseverleri sinirlendirdi çünkü ellie karakterinin bu kadar ergence tavırlar sergilemesi insanların beklediği birşey değildi. Abbyi örnek alalım karaktere sürekli empatiyi empoze etmeye çalışıp baş kötü karakterini iyi bir karaktermişçesine göstermeleri ve en az 10 saat aralıksız oynayış sunmalarını sevmedim sonuçta the last of us ellie joel oyunu ve insanlar bunun üzerinden bir beklentiye girdiler bunca sene fakat biricik elliemizi katil kötü birisi gibi gösterip abby karakterini sanki iyi karaktermiş gibi yansıtmaları benim hiç hoşuma gitmedi.
    Gel gelelim joel karakterine bizi bunca senedir oyunlardan sevebildiğimiz karakterlerden biri olan joeli 2. saate ve acımasız şekilde öldürülmesi benim hiç hoşuma gitmedi çünkü hem beklediğimiz karakterler ellie ve joel en kötü bir joelle 10 saatlik bir oynanış verip ondan sonra öldürebilirdiniz.Madem öldürüyorsunuz bari intikam alalım intikam bile alamıyoruz oyun sonu buda benim hiç hoşuma gitmedi oyun sonu en berbat sondu.
    Ve son olarak sevdiğimiz karakterlerin bu kadar hızlı harcanması benim içinde cidden bir nefret oluşturdu ama senaryoya karşı bunu başardılar. Söyleyeceklerim bu kadardı buraya kadar okuduysanız teşekkür ederim.    … Expand

    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.
