    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 无法被定义的游戏。打到乔尔之死的时候嚎啕大哭了半小时惨到家人都出来看出了什么事，但打完以后恨消失了，愤怒也消失了，只想问这一切都值得吗。
    战斗部分由于流程过长令人感到乏味的时刻变多（主要集中在Ellie的部分。Abby部分的关卡设计和她的动作、处刑动画总能让人不悦地想起Joel，开发者的险恶用心啊！），但也不乏高光时刻。希望玩家们不要只听取极端的情绪宣泄，而是自己放下偏见去接纳这个游戏试试看。会不一样的。我游戏时长两小时的时候和通关的时候完全不是同一个体验。
    9/10，很顽皮狗的续作，问题不少但还是会令人着迷。遗憾的是TLOU1实在太优秀。    … Expand

    The overall is good, perfect game. The story may hurt some people who played the last of us 1 but part 2 story make some emotional and detailed story. It need to play the game by yourself not watching only some cutscenes to understand the game story and ending.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decent story, great gameplay, awesome graphics, voice acting , sound and level design. Story is fulfilling in the first half, but in the second half i felt annoyed playing as a character with a story i didn't care for at first. But showing both character's perspectives remind us that there are consequences to every action, and we can really see that Joel's actions in part 1 yielded serious consequences for himself AND for Ellie. I liked Ellie's choice at the ending as it leaves the story open so we can move forward to a totally different story for part 3. You may not love it, but if you enjoy naughty dogs games you will definitely like it.… Expand

    I spent my money, spent my f**king sleep time, to play this game, along with a merda experience, ending like I was the silliest and cruelest man, everyone I killed in game was good and innocent, the girl I hated is an amazing angel. You did very well, naughty dog, and now let the players teach you what’s the consequence of being naughty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically you cant complain about the game art and programming wise, but the story is irredeemable in the way it treats the players expectations, the death of Joel is frankly cheap and disgraceful ending for his character, the violence of his death is the kind of emotive basic garbage taratino would use to hook his audience, the revenge plot is too basic in its abuse of the players sentiment, lesbians are small percentage of the actual game audience, but they make you play out this garbage dull lesbian relationship that seems founded on so little real underlying personality chemistry, i'm just not feeling it, the Asian guy just some seed father garbage spare wheel to their lesbian relationship, the inconsideracy towards characters in this game would only makes sense from the ego of a third wave feminist, they also make you play out the game as abby the character who murdered Joel, so repulsive, this game could not be anymore aggravating in the way its make the characters play out the game, proof if any were needed that a technically amazing game with an unsatisfying ill thought out story is going to be **** no matter the skill deployed elsewhere. This game obviously swallowed the woke pill regardless of what the developer claims, it feels like they just r**** this game.… Expand

    The game that never ends.

    I found playing as Ellie extremely boring and not rewarding as any time you'd reach your destination "your princess is in another castle" Characters aren't fleshed out at all and then are killed at a moments notice not giving the audience any time to breath or let the impact sink in.

    How is it I can go back and watch Sarah's death multiple times and still find myself shedding a tear. I was more invested in her 10 minutes of screen time then anyone in this 25 hour game.

    Visually the game is great but sadly that's it. Gunplay/Combat is pretty basic and the stealth element isn't anything to write home about.

    I had the most fun playing as Abby in the 2nd half of the game as it was something new and interesting and it actually felt like I was playing a TLOU sequel. I'd have been happy if they had done away if the Ellie/Joel subplot all together. The pacing was far too jarring.

    Before playing as Abby I was rating this game a 3/10 but now I've gone to a 5/10.

    Also cut the gameplay time down 26 hours is far too long for no story and repetitive gameplay gunplay -> explore -> gunplay -> explore    … Expand

    This game was deceptively marketed by the director Neil Druckmann. In all the trailers they advertised joel he would be in the game more but, he wasn't. Do not buy this game if u wanna see joel get beat with a golf club by Abby and, Ellie not get her revenge. Abby has a sex scene which is quite graphic and immoral for the society.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An interesting and thought-provoking entry into Naughty Dog's long line of fantastic games, The Last of Us Part II dares to challenge traditional notions of good-versus-bad, and raises questions of moral relativism and the role of video games as an art form.

    To get it out of the way; yes, you play a large amount of the game as Abby, the largely-despised ex-firefly from *that* major story leak. This section begins with a cut-to-black following a cliffhanger, followed by a 'three days earlier.' Personally, I, like a lot of players, was initially very bothered by this change. This is The Last of Us! it's the story of Joel and Ellie! Once this point is reached, you are well aware so far that Abby is, by-and-large, the absolute bad-guy of the tale. But then you explore Abby's story. You get to see that, from Abby's point of view, she was answering the fundamental question of the ending to the first game. And, with an open mind, you start to consider whether or not she is right.

    During the Abby section, we have flashbacks of her time as a firefly with her father in Salt Lake City. Yes, you know what is about to happen. Ellie, who is hunting Abby for killing her adoptive father, is now contrasted against Abby; hunting the man who selfishly killed her own father. A complex dilemma.

    Still being unsure about accepting Abby as a protagonist, I found this section of the game flew by as I was trying to get back to Ellie as soon as possible. And yet, I found myself absolutely enthralled. Abby takes it upon herself to show that there can be a large degree of ambiguity in a character's morality. Yes, she killed Joel in cold blood, but here she is risking her life to save two young runaways from a deadly and dogmatic cult. As you continue Abby's segment, the relationship between Abby and one of these runaways (Lev) begins to develop in a microcosmic parallel of Joel and Ellie's relationship.

    Soon after, we reach the same cliffhanger that was played previously from the point of view of Ellie. A fight, characterised by sneaking in the dark not unlike the fight with David from Part I, ensues, culminating in Abby holding the pregnant Dina in a precarious position, ready to slice her throat in revenge for Ellie's actions. She seems to take little issue with the morality of this action, which is a stark contrast from earlier in the story, where Ellie became distraught after realising that she had killed a pregnant woman. Yet Abby decides to be the bigger person. Helped in part by Lev's effect on her, Abby leaves Ellie to live, but reminds her that she will die if Abby sees her again.

    Here, the player is left with a question; and by now, Ellie is aware of what Joel did to Abby. Here, the player is asked whether or not it is just to consider a fool's crusade of revenge, and if they can accept letting it go.

    The next we see Ellie suggests that she chose the latter. We see the farmhouse that Dina mentioned earlier in the story, and an Uncharted 4-esque storybook epilogue. Dina has had the baby, and everything seems happy. Only, Ellie soon collapses in a PTSD-hallucination of Joel's death. After calming down and accepting that this might be the thorn that Naughty Dog leave in our sides for the ending, the epilogue yet continues. Tommy is here now, with news of Abby's location. Everything points to Ellie letting it go, leaving it behind.

    But again, the epilogue doesn't end. Ellie leaves for Santa Barbara with players shouting at their screens for her to let it go.

    And we're Abby again. She appears as an adoptive mother for Lev, and the relationship here is perhaps the most obvious parallel between Abby and Joel, Lev and Ellie. The two of them are taken prisoner soon after learning that the fireflies are still around (threequel potential? HBO series?), and we soon learn that Ellie is on their trail. Ellie catches up with Abby and frees her from her captors. We are led to believe that perhaps, Ellie might let it go. But she puts her blade to Lev's throat. She needs to finish this.

    The fight is a raw and emotional battle. Both Abby and myself are in the same frame of mind; I don't want to do this. Abby bites off her fingers in the struggle; Ellie gets the upper hand and begins drowning Abby. But it is now that Ellie sees Abby and Lev as I do. She gets a flash of Joel behind her eyes, which we later see in full detail; a conversation between Joel and Ellie. Joel asserts that he would save Ellie again if he were given the chance. Ellie realises that she has become the villain, and makes the difficult but ultimately *right* decision to let Abby and Lev go. She knows now that holding on to an existence of hate that Joel himself would never have allowed is all she has become.

    She returns to the farmhouse to find that Dina has left. Ellie's possessions are all that remains. The fight with Abby took away her ability to play guitar, her major connection with Joel. And she wordlessly conveys that is wasn't worth it.    … Expand

    First half was great. Dark, violent, and interesting. Second half was awful. Boring, tedious combat. Storyline was poorly written and bizarre. They should’ve stopped at the midpoint. I’ll never buy another naughty dog game on release day again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bro come on, the new gameplay mechanics are fresh and new for a PS4 exclusive, the graphics are sick, and the cinematics are like a movie, pretty unique graphics.

    Now. The Story is bad, really bad, I mean why would you kill one of the best characters in the entire videogame industry like that, Joel deserve a better death, I mean Joel was old of course, but he was a complete badass, his death was something stupid, Naughty Dog have some unique stories but this one here is lame, like if they try to make you feel bad for Abby, I mean why would anyone feel bad for someone who is not relevant.

    The story could be better if Joel didn't die in the beggining, maybe later in the game like protecting Ellie or something like that.

    Naughty Dog literally spits on our face with a story like that, the director and the company give us a lot of hype for something so dissapointing, the only good thing about TLOU2 is the graphics and new gameplay otherwise is just another bad history.    … Expand

It’s not about the story they tell it’s about how they deliver it. Just because something that i don’t Like happens doesn’t mean it’s ruined for me. This is the story that the team wanted to make so they made it. Congrats to the team at naughty dog for creating the best sequel that hits closer to home then some of your other titles. This game has gorgeous graphics that are like no other. incredible attention to detail and while me and my girlfriend Played she refused to play with a headset on because of how terrified she Was from the sound design. This is a game done right for those who love the last of us universe. This is a spectacle that is definitely not for everyone but those who can stomach the gut wrenching horror and brutality. The game answers the questions we had in 2013 but makes us question any number of our actions. The last of us part ll is my game of the year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have so many complaints I'm not sure where to start. For about 50% of the game, you are playing as Abby, this character who, I suppose, we are supposed to connect with & feel sorry for — ya know, after she brutally murders Joel. I understand the story was showing us that there are two sides to everything & that what Joel done in the first game also had consequences for others, but his murder comes after he & Tommy are so kind to help out strangers who are lurking in the mountains? Joel may have warmed up to Ellie & eventually softened, but at his core, he was wary of other people & never let his guard down. So for him to end up in the situation that eventually gets him murdered (30 mins into the game) felt hollow. Which makes his death all the harder to deal with. So, we play as Abby, & for the whole game, I only wanted Ellie to finish her off. Her backstory that was overstuffed with parallels to Ellie & Joel's beautiful journey from TLOU felt like the game was forcing nostalgia & sentimentality down my throat to make me, if not like her, at least empathise with her. I didn't. Some parts with Abby as our playable character were fun, I do enjoy stealth missions, but this was also achieved with Ellie as the primary playable character. I heard the game was roughly 25 hours long, so I had huge expectations for the twists & turns this story was set to take, but in actuality it's the same 12 hour story from 2 different perspectives, the second perspective being one I had no interest in learning about until around 18 total hours in. I ended up somewhat curious about how the Seraphites started & who their prophet was. & I never found out. Maybe I missed something, some optional dialogue or some writings, so I can't completely criticise this chunk of plot amounting to basically nothing. Once Yara & Lev entered the story, I could see the direction we were headed in; a similar one we played before with Joel & Ellie. When we set off as Abby & Lev, it was too blindingly obvious that ND were trying instill a similar warmth in us, one that was cultivated through an entire story of learning about the unlikely pair that is Joel & Ellie. Maybe I would've cared more about Abby & her irritating friends if I had spent a whole game learning about them & being a part of a forming bond, but I wasn't. We are thrown into the lives of these people who we have nothing but disdain for after they kill Joel & expected to end up chummy with them after seeing a few thinly written moments about their friendship circle being loyal to a fault. This critique of Abby's story isn't to say I found Ellie's segment of the game completely without fault, however. I think it's amazing that ND managed to write in a bunch of new characters on the "good" side & yet, somehow, make them all so unlikable. Dina & Jesse, yes, you were poorly written. I have a particular pet peeve with plots, & that's making people pregnant for the sake of making a story more interesting. This game does it not once, but twice! Pregnancy is an easy way to add some difficulty to a story set in the middle of a post-apocalyptic world — & that's exactly why it was added. This peeve of mine is a personal preference of course, however I do find it lazy to throw in pregnancy for some shock factor. I can't sit here & say it was all bad. I cried a lot. Plenty of moments had me in tears. The downside to that, though? They were all Joel related. The museum flashback, his death, his conversation with Ellie at the end, that unfiltered, raw emotion that made me fall in love with the first game was back, if only fleetingly, since Joel exists only in Ellie's memory now. Despite loving these few & far between moments we had with Joel, the writing felt odd. I can't exactly place my finger on it. Joel felt very different & a lot of the scenes felt they were trying too hard to remind us of moments from the first game. Ellie & Tommy quickly became my comfort in this game, as I stumbled around with these unfamiliar & unlikable people, I pined for moments with them. Even when you are playing as Abby & you must rush to cover as Tommy fires a sniper rifle at you, I felt happy in the comfort that someone familiar was nearby. TLDR; if you have a massive attachment to the first game, then this game is not for you. I rate it 3/10. A 3 b/c the game truly is beautiful. The scenery & surroundings are astonishing and it is all so carefully crafted to create a beautifully torn world. A 3 b/c I had some moments of fun, Ellie's chapter in the mall was a defining moment for me, I loved everything about it, sadly those moments did not come often. I spent the whole game waiting for that sweet relief at the end, I wanted Ellie to finish Abby off, since that is what the whole story was about. We had faced countless trials, for nothing. Yes, they had both ruined each other's lives & they were "even" but, I still don't care about Abby.

    If you love TLOU, don't tarnish the memories you have w/ it. I wish I hadn't    … 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.

    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]
