    The graphics in this game are phenomenal. The game play is great. It feels solid, smooth, brutal, all good things. The problem for me at least is the story. Some of the decisions of the characters fell so weird, out of place. Most of all at end. The story is were the game falls flat.

    Good story. But not for everybody. It makes you think and not leave you indifferent. Sorry for Joel, but this story is not about that at all. That revenge will not lead to anything. Deserved mark. Thank you developers

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to get the incredible characteristics of this game out of the way.
    There is no doubt in my mind that this may be the most stunning video game I have ever played.

    - The graphics are out of this world,
    - The audio design is complex and atmospheric
    - The voice acting was phenomenally done by a group of incredibly talented actors.
    - The environment has an engrossing allure to it that makes made me feel like I was truly there.

    However, there are a few fascinatingly apparent flaws that I will not get out of the way: storytelling and character development.

    In a game franchise such as The Last Of Us, the graphics and audio design is hardly anything compared to the impact the story has on the player. There are far too many shallow characters, plot holes, timeline shifts, and unnecessary plot points for this game to exceed the gaming industry with the same success shown by the first game. Not to mention the horrific choice made for Ellie in the ending. Here are a few notable mentions:

    Con #1) Why does Ellie's anger show no recollection or representation as seen in The Last Of Us 1? When Ellie was faced with situations in which she needed to defend Joel, she killed everybody in the way. No questions asked. But in this game, when Ellie finally has her chance to avenge him, how the hell did Naughty Dog decide that Ellie no longer had a hatred towards Abby after she receives a flashback of Joel's brutally bloodied head? Because Ellie felt for Abby? Because she thought if she killed Abby she would be doing Joel wrong? Did we forget this game was about Ellie's revenge? All of Abby's friends were murdered, she killed Ellie's friends with no hesitation. All of Ellie's friends were murdered, yet she doesn't feel the need for revenge, the entire point of this plot. Now some may argue that this is an act of Ellie maturing and understanding the consequences of her actions. To me, that is a load of BS. Ellie has made many choices in this game that stray so far from her as a character that it almost feels like a different person.

    - Con #2) Abby, alongside many of the new characters in this game, have absolutely NO depth in any way. The only characters I really felt for were the ones shown in the previous game, I wonder why that is. Naughty Dog tried unbearably hard to introduce "the other side of the story" to show that Joel had it coming for him. Was that "other side of the story" even remarkably moving or reasonable? Absolutely. Not. Why were we given so much time with Abby to understand who she is and her relationship with her friends and father yet not a single hour of it was enjoyable or justifiable? There were 100% zero sympathies I felt towards this girl. So not unless you give me a Last Of Us Part II dedicated to why we should care about this Abby girl or why her story even remotely convinces me that killing Joel in the way she did was okay, I'm going to say this is a case of a disastrous narrative and Abby is garbage excuse for an antagonist/main character.

    Con #3) I'm not even going to explain how horrendous the writing is in some of these side-characters. The number of plot holes that are accompanying them makes me want to throw up just as many times as Dina did. I will say that the story seems engaging when you are playing through Ellie's POV and there aren't any cutscenes to ruin it...
    The fact that I need to say that the best part of the game was playing through the museum flashback two years prior to the events of the main plotline with Ellie and Joel shows just how unenjoyable the game really was for me.

    Naughty Dog put so much effort into trying to show us that we were the true bad guys yet non of that effort had a single ounce of pay off. If you want us to fall in love with your new characters the same way we fell in love with the original ones, give us more time, please. Give us the depth and development that Joel and Ellie and Tommy have. One of the main reasons Abby even exists was that she was a perfect way to introduce the idea of gender fluidity, LGBTQ+, and independent femininity into a video game. But it just wasn't necessary. All-in-all my main gripe about this game is that some of the best writers in video game history have somehow messed up what was 7 years of anticipation and hype for one of the worst stories I have ever experienced.

    I will be giving this game a 3/10 sheerly out of pity for the incredible artists, sound designers, animators, and voice actors who put so much work in to hard carry the writers that developed this tragedy.
    So how can I put this lightly? If you have the money to purchase this game, put that money into something else, and walk away. And to those who have already played the game or have watched a playthrough, I am so sorry. You and I are gonna take a deep breath and pretend this didn't happen. Deal? Deal.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich hab The Last of Us geliebt. War bzw. ist eines der besten Spiele wen nicht dass beste Spiel überhaupt für mich. Noch nie zuvor hatte ich in einer Geschichte so mitgefühlt.

    Der zweite Teil ist im Grunde gut gelungen, nicht sehr gut aber gut. Da aber viele Leute grundlos haten geb ich max Punkte.

    Im Grunde gut weil alles besser ist als im alten Spiel.
    Gameplay, Grafik, Zwischensequenzen, KI, usw.

    Worüber man sich streiten kann ist die Geschichte.
    Für mich persönlich ist sie nicht schlecht lässt aber seeeeehr viele Fragen offen.
    Ich sehe die Geschichte aus einem komplett anderen Aspekt wie die meisten Leute denk ich.
    Wen ihr euch für eine total anderen Sichtweiße interessiert die auch auf den Fakten des ersten Teils basieren lest weiter:

    Viele werfen dem Spiel vor irgendein Statement setzen zu wollen.
    Nun wen, welches Statement setzen sie was dass Spiel soo schlecht macht?

    Keines!

    Joel wird umgebracht weil sich irgendwelche egoistischen Ar********r sich in den Kopf gesetzt haben dass Joel schuld ist warum Sie keine Heilung bekommen haben bzw. schuld am Tod von Abby's Vater(Joel's Mörderin).
    Sie beleuchten die Geschehnisse aus der Sichtweiße dieser Menschen allen vor ran aus der Sichtweiße von Abby.
    Meiner Meinung nach ein Fehler da es sehr viel weniger Spaß macht eine Mörderin zu spielen die man hasst. Story technisch ist ihrer Backsidestory nicht sooo interessant wie die von Ellie und Joel aber sie ist auch nicht komplett schlecht.

    Die Sidestory von Abby war kein Statement im Sinne von seht euch mal die arme Abby an, es zeigt nur eine sehr kaputte egoistische Frau die durch ihren Egoismus fast alles verliert.

    Hätten die Fireflys und der Doktor sich im ersten Teil mit Joel und Ellie an einen Tisch gesetzt und alle Fakten offen gelegt hätte sich Ellie aus freien Stücken für die OP entscheiden können und Joel wäre vermutlich extrem traurig gewesen hätte sie aber mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit gehen lassen müssen.

    Dass haben sie aber nicht gemacht, sie haben Ellie gar nicht angehört und Joel vor vollendete Tatsachen gestellt um ihre persönlichen egoistischen Ziele zu verfolgen. Dadurch haben sie den Verteidiger Instinkt von Joel ausgelöst der natürlich wie soll es anders sein, seine persönlichen egoistischen Zielen verfolgt hat und Ellie gerettet hat. Jeder Mensch darf egoistisch sein, auch Joel.
    Er hat sich im Grunde nur gegen die Ungerechtigkeit verteidigt.

    Im zweiten Teil werden wir vor allem mit dem Hass und den egoistischen Wünschen einer fremden Person konfrontiert. Abby. Sie verkraftet nicht dass ihr Vater ein Ar*****h war und gibt jemand anderem dafür die Schuld.
    Sie löst die Rache Gedanken in Ellie aus und ist somit an fast allen Toten im gesamten Spielverlauf schuld. Ellie wird in meinen Augen nicht nur von Rache geleitet sondern auch von Verzweiflung, Trauer und Wut.
    Sie weiß nicht wie sie mit alle dem umgehen soll und denkt im ersten Augenblick wen sie die schuldige(n) tötet würde es ihr bessere gehen.
    Jedoch merkt sie im Verlauf des Spieles dass es ihr gar nicht um die Rache geht, sie ist nur unendlich traurig über den Verlust von Joel und erschreckt an ihren eignen Taten.
    Am Ende hat sie Joel, ihren besten Freund, ihre Freundin und ihre Heimat verloren.
    Sogar Gitarre spielen kann sie nicht mehr vollständig da sie zwei ihrer Finger verliert.
    Grundsätzlich würd ich sagen ist dass das keine Rache Story aus Sicht von Ellie ist.
    Es ist eine Rache Story aus Sicht von Abby.
    Ellie wird seelisch wie körperlich extrem schwer verletzt und verliert alles was sie im Leben hat.

    Im Grund weiß ich persönlich nicht worauf die Geschichte überhaupt hinaus laufen sollte?
    Eigentlich zeigt sie uns nur Verlust, Zerstörung und eine extrem ungerechte Welt.

    Im ersten teil hat man dem Spieler zwei geniale Charakter geschenkt.
    Im Zweiten Teil zerstört man die Charakter mit dem Vorschlaghammer und zerschreddert die Seelen sämtlicher Spieler.
    Ich bin in ein schwarzes Loch gefallen dass ich aktuell durch dass schreiben von Rezessionen und Youtube Kommentaren versuche zu füllen da mich diese extreme Traurigkeit vollkommen überwältigt hat.

    Dass Spiel ist nicht schlecht, die Story kann man so oder so sehen ich seh sie wie beschrieben.
    Ich find halt dass die Story kein Statement hat. Sie löst in mir nur Traurigkeit und Mitgefühl FÜR Ellie aus!

    Ich hoffe auf einen 3. Teil.
    Ich möchte wissen ob es Ellie schafft sich ein glückliches Leben aufzubauen.
    Daher seh ich nicht ein warum alle Leute das Spiel haten und mir die Chance auf eine Fortsetzung rauben. Ich bin einfach mal so frei und egoistisch wie Joel und sag euch haltet eure K***** wen ihr keine Konstruktive Kritik habt. Dann noch kurz an all diejenigen die sich fragen warum Ellie plötzlich lesbisch ist. Spielt den ersten Teil komplett mit DLC dann merkt ihr dass sie schon immer lesbisch war :P    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    Im giving it a 5 for the devs who worked so hard to build such a beautiful game with amazing graphics but they sadly waisted their talent on a **** show.
    The soundtrack is awesome and the gameplay is close to the first game but its still good
    And the flashbacks feel more TLOU than the hole game
    Cons
    THE STORY
    The story sucks, it doesn’t make sence, especially the ending, u are about to kill Abby (THE PERSON WHO KILLED JOEL INFRONT OF ELLIES EYES),but then you see a flashback of Joel, you think that would’ve motivated more Ellie to killl Abby? No. She letted her go. Reminder, She is the same person who cutted her 2 finger.
    This is a wtf moment
    And the credit scene makes me so sad, Ellie, ending up like that, AND TRYING TO PLAY THE GUITAR! Wtf
    THE CHARACTER DESGIN
    Ellie looks like a skinny white boy (with small muscles), Abby looks like Hulk and Dina has some small muscles.
    THE LGBTQ REPRESENTATION
    It feels like marketing/advertisement, not for the sake of the lgbt representation in the gaming industry
    THE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT
    How can you do that? And why? Why would you?
    The adds lie to you so hard and thats pretty bad by considering that you’ve waited 7 years for this game, and in the end, they are lies.

    I wouldn't give a "1", except for the fact that they false advertised, and wasted my money. When there is a delta of 6 points between the critic score and the user score, that means they paid those critics. I was LIED TO and STOLEN from by Naughty Dog and Sony. How is this allowed?

    With numerous proof of Sony attempting to damage control this failure of a (narrative) game by pouring money into influencers, you can make a fairly accurate assumption on the overall quality if the product.

The new enemy's can now again be a little challenge but once you get use to their movements they can be figured out. In some situations you do.have to think what is the best approach to get through the area. Theres lots of hidden items to discover and new weapons to try. I have recently completed it, and yes I can see myself saying it again.

    For the negatives sometimes the areas are too big to explore just for supplies and now and again you get a little tires of searching every corner but it is essential to find bullets and crafting items to survive the game. In the stealth sections some of the enemies behave the same formula and feels like a repetition of the last encounter but it doesn't dampen the game play too much.

    There is one thing that I would like to say to reviews on here. Some.of them were posted minutes or hours after the games release to give it negative feedback. These are reviews from people who didnt really play much of a game or have never played the game and are just jumping the band wagon from social media. It's worth buying and adding to the collection of playstation exclusives. It deserves to be on the same shelf of horizon zero dawn, god.of war and spider-man. I think naughty dog have done an amazing job with this game do not believe what people from.the 19th of june are saying. It's not perfect but it is an amazing experience to play through and once it starts you do find yourself playing to the end.    … 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]
