    This game really doesn't deserve all the hate people give it
    ... It really is a magnificent tale of revenge, gameplay has gone a long way since the first episode and even after 16hrs of gameplay, I still find details I hadn't paid attention to in the beginning.
    You could write an entire book about the visuals, it's just gorgeous; as much as the relationship between Ellie and her lover

    You could write an entire book about the visuals, it's just gorgeous; as much as the relationship between Ellie and her lover building up throughout the game.
    Naughty dog can really be proud of their job and shouldn't listen to the **** that destroyed the game online even though most of them haven't played it.
    I'm looking forward to playing part 3 or getting to live Ellie's story with comics, series, whatever, there's just so much to say and make about this universe that you never get enough of it.
    Congratulations again to Naughty Dog and everyone that helped make this game !

    It’s a solid game In gameplay it’s better than te first one , in history not! It’s a game where you can’t put your feelings over the reason if you do it, this game will not like you.

    我觉得还可以,没有那么差。
    最后艾比还是挺惨的,那么期待可以找到火萤,但是最后被欺骗了,连自己的伙伴都保护不了,至少当时乔尔还是保护到了艾力,自己活着也有意义了。艾比不但没有保护到,还坑了自己的同伴,那受到了应该有惩罚,我觉得这个比死还要痛苦。

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the TLOU and this game took me on a rollercoaster. I hated how they killed Joel so early and I didn’t get a chance to play as him at all. I also really hated how I was forced to play Abby. But as the game went on I got the story and it was compelling. The Abby parts were actually fun because she had awesome weapons. In the end I was actually hoping the two could some how reconcile. But I commend naughty dog for being able to show both sides of a story and genuinely make you care for both sides. For what it’s worth I think those who complain about the story on how they forced you to like Abby are the type of people who always complain without providing any alternatives. Naughty dog had a story it wanted to tell and it required us to like the bad guy. Not only like the bad guy but like the bad guy who killed a beloved character we spent the majority of the previous game playing as. It’s a mountain for them to climb and I don’t know how else they could have achieved this. I still don’t really like Abby. But I get her side. People are rarely the villain in their own story. Expand

    My favorite game ever, this will be the game of the decade if a top contender, the story is very well plotted, to get the feeling of playing as abby who i once hated because of what she did to Joel, they made her reasons justified. And the story of ellie is heartbreaking and makes what this story great. 10/10 would recommend anybody play

    First 1/3rd was amazing. Couldn't leave the game because I was so wrapped up in the storyline. 2nd third became slightly monotonous but was important for character development. Third third of the game was edge of the seat storyline again. Couldn't wait to see how it finished and wrapped it all off.

I really enjoyed the rollercoaster of emotions it took me on and found my self empathizing with surprising characters. It broke my heart more than once. When all was said and done I cried, felt a bit lost that it was truly over, and then immediately turned to the internet to read theories about the ending. I would say that only a good game makes you feel that way, haha.

    The environment and combat/stealth system is actually awesome. I played on hard for my first play through and enjoyed playing conservatively when it came to encounters. Getting to explore/scavenge between fights was one of my favorite things to do. I loved reading notes left behind by others. Though that’s true from the first game as well.

    I also loved that the Infected played a bigger part even though they weren’t the main focus of the game. Their AI systems definitely got a much needed rework compared to the last game and they were more fun to go up against! Don’t let the negativity stop you from experiencing this awesome story!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. IGNORE THE POOR RATINGS. This game has an an amazing story amazing gameplay and all around a great game. Some reviews I’ve seen have been pathetic. A 0 for Joel dying, a 0 for Ellie being gay and saying it it doesn’t belong in the game ? Pretty strange considering it was made clear within the first game that she was gay. Joel dying in the game made the whole story actually important. It wasn’t a disregard for a beloved character as people claim. Joel died because of his actions within the hospital in the first game and saying that it was pointless people just clearly don’t understand the story. This game shows how bad the fan base for the last of us actually is. This game is phenomenal but because the so called “fans” are annoyed at the tiny little things in the game then give it a 0 rating. How about give reviews properly so the company can improve upon. This game story “isn’t all over the place” as people are saying, it makes sense. There are flashbacks through the game showing interactions between Ellie and Joel in the 4 year gap and at the half way point then switch over to Abby made complete sense, it makes you see the different side to her and why she hunted down Joel. Let talk about the ending. The ending was great and made complete sense l. Ellie obviously realised if she ends up killing Abby then the cycle will just start again. Abby killed Joel for killing her farther for Ellie to kill Abby for killing Joel would make her no better than Abby. Lev, was sat in the boat watching this happen helplessly much like how Ellie watched the Joel death. By Ellie letting Abby go this breaks the vicious cycle and for me I thought it was a brilliant end to a brilliant story. People need to get over the little things in this game that they’re giving 0 ratings for and play the game. Maybe they’ll actually enjoy it and The Last of Us 2 May get the reviews it deserves.

    A great way of making a point. This is one of those games that leaves a lasting effect. In the past, Spielberg has said that video games don't move audiences the same way as movies; I think this game disagrees with him (and I'd hope he'd agree with that). I think the evidence is present in the ridiculously low scores more than the higher ones. I'm hopefully staying clear of spoilers when IA great way of making a point.

I'm hopefully staying clear of spoilers when I say this: there are parts in this game that make you want to turn it off, not because it's a terrible game but because it's a great one, one where you just want it to stop because you know that by proceeding you'll be proven wrong in your understanding; and I think it's this that people are struggling with. It's a lesson in understanding, a lesson sorely needed for us all. For those of you taking those 0s and 1s out of 10 into consideration I'll ask you this: how can a game with such incredible graphics, attention to details and game-play have a 0? Many will scoff and say the game's writer has done something very wrong at the start. It's a dystopian future, one where the character's decisions have lawless consequences. If you liked the first game and are interested in this one then just play it. Make your own mind up; all I'd suggest is playing it all the way through before reviewing it. Many (not all) of these 0s and 1s seem to have appeared within the game's first day of release. It took me just over 30 hours to complete the game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. to start the graphics are amazing. the way that the game keep you tense in every moment when you are fighting with zombies or humans is awesome.
    Joel's death is necesary to the plot of the game, its something that makes you feel the same as Ellie, the death could be better but his death is represented by the feeling of Abby, if you think Ellie wants the same thing that Abby (revenge).

    The history could be better in so many moments and the characters could be best represented, like Jesse, he was dina ex-boyfriend and the father of the baby and dies in a stupid way, other character like that was Dina, she was so good on the first part of the game but when you discover that shes pregnant she becomes useless but Abby's character makes you hate her so shes a good villian and that makes her the best character of the game, you plays as her and you see other side of Abby, she feels and she is a human not a total b1tch amazing

    The game is brilliant. Good job, Naughty Dog. As for the review bombers: grow up. You’re the reason why videogame is such an underrated media.
    Play the game, instead of reading leaks. Oh, wait, maybe you shouldn’t play it: it’s pegi 18.

    A very controversial game, the game is very emotional. But the strange division into the game for two characters, one of which for the whole game did not like at all, does not allow you to fully enjoy the game.

    the atmosphere, the fights, the stories you get to empathize with both main characters are not perfect. the beginning was necessary for this delivery if not what would start after his actions happiness and eternal fulfillment for his actions

    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]
