    This was a perfect game in my book. The graphics and gameplay were great and were a good step-up on everything great in LoU. The story for me was a great journey to go through. They chose to go a path which I did not foresee. It is not something that might work for everyone but all character choices are understandable and the way the story is told is the best in any game to date.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly thought the first game was one of the best games I’ve ever played. This sequel made me wish I let the first one be the true ending.
    Playing half the game as Abby, the person hunting Joel/Ellie, makes absolutely zero sense. We all paid $60 to play as Joel/Ellie and find a conclusion to their epic journey. I couldn’t have been more disappointed when we kept playing more and more and more with Abby. A terrible plot, horribly story, and overall giant disappointment. I give the first game a 9/10. I give this one a 0/10.    … Expand

    So you liked the last of us 1? Then you are welcome, gameplay is exact the same like last of us. And to be honest, I loved the first part.
    Now, why are people hating part 2? Because they don't think throuh everything. Is Part 2 a masterpiece? No definitly not.

    The critic I have with this game is - it is just way to long... you could cut like 5 hours ( in general, I don't mean the extra 5 hours in the end ) and it would still be good, even better.    … Expand

    The graphics and mechanics can not save the terrible writed story we had. This sequel cannot make Justice to the first game, which was amazing. It feels like a Netflix bad series.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Spoilers)The graphics, gameplay, animations and sound design in Tlou2 are one of the best in gaming industry. Gameplay is really fun with all those animations, details, quality AI and solid mechanics. Naughty Dog didn't dissapoint me with games beatiful engaging story. In first 10-15 hours I had a strong hate against Abby. And because of this hatred, I slaughtered all of Abby's friends. But after you start to play with Abby, you realize that no one is the true villian in this world. Abby is just a normal human being with emotions inside her. Abby part is just like first game actually. She starts her story as a soldier but after spending time with Lev she becomes a similar character like Joel. Just like Ellie , Abby wanted to take revenge. And she did it with killing Joel. But killing Joel resulted with Ellie killing all of Abby's friend. All this killing gave birth to a circle of revenge.

    Flashbacks show us Ellie and Joel didn't had good relations before joel died. And Ellie feels guilty because she didn't treated Joel nice before he died. To stop feeling guilty, Ellie uses revenge as a tool. All this drama transformed Ellie into a cold killer. But finnaly in the end she realizes killing Abby will not bring Joel back and will not stop the circle of revenge .With a final flashback Ellie remembers she forgave Joel. Ellie stops feeling guilty ,spares Abby's life and breaks circle of revenge. But it costs her the ability to play guitar (the last thing left from Joel) and Dina. And Ellie once remembers she must contiune to live on.

    The story of the game that I have summarized above is one of the best stories I have ever seen. And combining this story with perfect gameplay results with a mustplay masterpiece. Also sorry for bad English.    … Expand

    The best game I've ever played, honestly. Nothing even comes close to the level of detail, polish and quality of storytelling. This game hit me hard like nothing else had. It made me love the first game even more and deepened my investment in this franchise tenfold. This is a divisive game, but you need to play it yourself, don't rely on the opinions of people who've never even touched the game.

    Безумный фанат этой серии. Но вторая часть разочеровала не интересного сюжета, не разнообразия. Единственное, что понравилось это графика красивая и приятная.

    Una historia buena pero mal contada y muy larga hasta el punto de ser tediosa, finalizando el juego no trasmite nada y deja una sensación de vacío.
    Jugabilidad destaca muy poco, muy similar a la primera entrega.
    Sin embargo en cuanto ambientacion, animacion, sonido y graficos hicieron un trabajo espectacular

The phenomenal writing will touch every player and won't leave an eye dry of tears. Combat and exploration are challenging and lead the player to use creativity and improvisation. A real masterpiece and a must-have for every PS4 owner." Hhh    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game series is amazing. I love everything about it. I’m actually really disappointed in other players because they don’t see how amazing part 2 was and is. People in my opinion, just can’t see how great it is because of Joel. They have all this hate for Abby too. Which is just stupid because, Abby is actually a great character and more specially the main antagonist, or actually let me say, that maybe Ellie is also a antagonist or maybe an antihero. Ellie did so much wrong in the game too. Abby and Ellie both did. And now they live with that. Which is why Ellie makes her decision to let Abby go. But enough of the story, gameplay is amazing. Sound quality is so great. And the amount of weapons is great too. The way that the combat system evolved too is just great. Also, character development is better, and the actors gave a great performance which I love. Overall great game, just most people are just little crybaby’s… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 drags Ellie and Joel through the dirt. It spends its opening killing off Joel like he is nothing in exchange for revenge story fuel with the revenge story that follows making Ellie into an irrational hateable killer. I'm fine with naughty dog turning her into the bad guy but her character development is such a mess and is way too big of a leap as she irrationally and brutally kills around hundred without any sympathy and even namecalling as they die and all this is meant to be fueled by a broken relationship with a man who she knows is this irredeemable monster. besides all this, ellies side of the story isn't particularly interesting as she simply jumps from location to location looking for someone to lead her to Abby. The second half of the game following Abby was a lot more enjoyable as we see her perspective and shows how she is dealing with the guilt of killing Joel as she searches for redemption by helping Lev and Yara. It did get a little sloppy near the end when she killed some of her wolf friends which felt a bit unjustifiably evil even if it was in self-defense but overall Abby's story was pretty good. It all leads to an ending that feels pretty underwhelming and pointless with Abby and Ellie just parting ways which wouldn't be as bad as it was if Ellie didn't literally kill 100 people to get to Abby.

    In terms of gameplay, the combat is pretty great. It's brutal and tense as you play naughty dog perfected cat and mouse gameplay with the enemy, however, there is only really a few hours of combat with most of the game consisting of story and a terrible looting and exploration system which consists of just going into rooms and mashing triangle.

    Besides gameplay and story, the game looks and sounds great with beautifully detailed environments and great music to match.

    Lastly, the companions in this game are pretty uninteresting, Manny and Jesse practically do nothing and die, Diana is too similar to Ellie and is basically a yes man to her horrific actions. The only good ones are Lev and Yara who provide an interesting and engaging story on abbys side.    … 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]
