    I really don't understand why people are giving this a bad review. It's some of the best storytelling in a video game ever, and the gameplay is excellent, period. All the controversy about the work hours or sexual harassments shouldn't give the game a bad score. A great game is a great game! Easy a 10/10

    Hab es heute durchgespielt und finde den Verlauf der Story Mega gut ... die Dramaturgie wirkt aufgrund der geschehenen Ereignisse besonders auch in den Rückblenden, Ich bin mega begeistert und finde es hat diesen Hate zu keinster Weise verdient. Schon alleine die Details in dem Spiel sind einfach der Wahnsinn

I don't want to give anything away, but I think a lot of people are upset about something that happens near the beginning. It is meant to make you angry and set the stage for the rest of the game. It is far from an uplifting story, so I understand why it is so polarizing. The first game was about love and hope, while this game is about hate and loss. There are moments of sadness and parts where you don't like what the main character is doing, but that's all part of it. You will eventually hate characters you love and love characters you hate. It's part of the destructive nature of being blinded by rage. While this sounds bad, it is a story that is told very well. Also the gameplay is a lot of fun. Definitely a roller-coaster of an experience.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juegazo, no es una historia simple de venganza, va más allá. Teniendo a dos protagonistas que sufren por lo mismo, una pérdida importante mediante un camino de odio, venganza que las lleva a perder absolutamente todo. La evolución de ambas protagonistas de forma paralela a los acontecimientos. La capacidad de redención y perdón ante todo lo vivido, de cortar el ciclo para tener un mínimo de luz al final del camino.Para no seguir sufriendo y hacer sufrir a pesar de las pérdidas. Quienes sólo se han quedando con “UNA HISTORIA DE VENGANZA SIN VENGANZA” no se han enterado ni del juego ni de su propuesta.
    Más allá de lo gore, cruel, crudo o explícito que puede ser el juego,Naughty Dog ha hecho algo que creo que nadie antes ha hecho (por lo menos no a este nivel) es que el juego que en ocasiones es bastante incómodo de jugar y de ver, al igual que hay películas, libros u obras de teatro que son incómodas de ver y leer. Lo fácil hubiera sido hacer una historia fan service y todos felices pero han decidido tomar este otro camino y me parece algo bastante valiente. Por supuesto esto es algo que no gusta a todo el mundo y me parece perfectamente entendible, pero hay una diferencia entre eso y proclamar automáticamente que el juego es un mal producto. Mientras que lo que ocurre tenga lógica, esté justificado, no tengamos fallos de guión, los personajes estén bien escritos y sus relaciones sean creíbles, creo que no se puede decir esté mal hecho. Dejando aparte que el juego subjetivamente pueda gustar más o menos, me parece una decisión bastante valiente y una decisión bastante importante para que la industria pueda avanzar (al menos a nivel narrativo). Una obra que por lo menos cualquier persona que se diga ser amante de los videojuegos (ya que cuenta con un excelente gameplay) y de las historias bien contadas debe probar.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Greetings to those who passed the game. Finally, we released part 2 of the game that changed the entire gaming industry in 2013, implemented an excellent production and roughly speaking, everything of that kind. What I will say about part 2... These were unforgettable emotions... The game immediately engages and pulls us into this native atmosphere. The work with light/shadow is beautiful, the music accompaniment, my homage to Gustavo is on top, as always. The game's mechanics have become varied and refined. You can crawl and climb into cars, break Windows, throw ropes, and put up ladders. The game has become very diverse, there is no sense of straight linearity. The world is beautiful, and every building you enter makes sense to find something useful in it. But now I'm going to talk about the sickest part of this game. Plot and direction. Yes, I liked the technique of telling the story from different sides (characters). Playing for Ellie, I realized that this is not a 14 - year-old defenseless sweet girl, but a fierce, cruel 19-year-old girl who will not put herself under the barrel. Playing for her was more fun than playing for Abby. Joel's death was in vain in the first hours of the game, it feels like Neil Drakman spat at him. I, like Ellie, have learned that I need to take revenge on this **** despite her story (I didn't like it)! And for what? To let her go? Ellie, like Abby, had lost almost everyone she cared about, and what was it, for nothing? I feel sorry for Joel when he listened to all the **** Ellie said and died from a high-powered woman's stick... Very sad ending, I was crying, but over the failed ending of this story. Unfortunately, I can't say more, or they'll ban me.… Expand

Mas no final tudo foi em vão, pois em certo ponto o protagonista, que antes tudo o que enxergava era vingança, e agora se encontra cheio de remorso e tristeza, muda de opinião e decide tomar outro caminho. O tanto de emoção que senti nesse jogo, tenho certeza que não vou sentir o mesmo jogando alguma outra coisa por muito tempo.

As far as story games are concerned, the sequel The Last of Us is very, very great, both graphically and especially in the story and the expression of emotions. However, I am most sorry and annoyed, a weak and often played soundtrack, with which I feel as if there is none. In the first part of The last of Us he was and still is great and thanks to that he can fully draw the viewer into the situation how people probably felt in the post-apocalyptic world.… Expand

Sometimes, looks like the producers of the game tried to protect Abby nerfing intelligent characters, like Ellie in the Theatre. Moreover, the game tries force you to like Abby, by playing a lot of time with her. The Joel deaths is acceptable if you consider that he is living in a peacefully place, trying to change his wey and had no option about where to go with Tommy in that moment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:
    - Increadibly good graphics (I don't know any game that comes close to TLOU2 in that regard). Actually I didn't think the PS4 (even the Pro) could handle those graphics with such a stable framerate. Yeah, sure, I'd wish I could play the game on my PC so I can crank up the graphics even more and enjoy a higher framerate, but that's just complaining at a very high level.
    - Extremely good sound design (You can hear so many things going on around you, the sounds are perfectly matching all the movement and environments, enemies, weapons, etc., it's just perfect)
    - The vistual art style is superb and makes the game look extremely realistic and organic. Even though some objects are re-used over the game, it doesn't feel like it. Reminds me of "The Vanishing of Ethan Carther" where almost no object appeared twice in the game.
    - The enemy design really nice and makes enemies (especially the monsters) feel more dangerous.
    - The athmosphere is phenomenal. I would've loved the game even if it was just an exploration game without combat or anything. Just exploring the world was much fun.
    - This game is huge and I believe it took me at least 50% longer than the first part because it as really big areas to explore and to fight through.
    - Movement is on the spot and I'd say 98% of moves look astonishingly realistic and organic and give a real sense for the weight of the character. It didn't feel like you were shoving around a weightless "thing" but a real person with weight and a center of gravity that's changing depending on how the player controls the character.
    - The facial expressions of the characters are over the top well done. I loved them so much. They are the best I've seen so far in a game and they are even better than most movies' with real actors.
    - Overall gameplay didn't change too much so that anyone who played the first game should feel familiar with this one immediately. It's mostly stealth and action, split by countless ingame cutscenes (was there a pre-rendered cutscene anyway? I'm actually not sure and when the Intro was over I first didn't realize it was ingame and I wondered why nothing happened :D)
    - The Listen Mode is improved in a way that it feels more realistic. You can't "see" as clearly as in the first game anymore (even though you can level that skill up).
    - The amount of options (especially for people with bad hearing or bad eyes) is suprising and satisfying. You can adjust so many options so that you can make it your very own experience and you are able to make the game even easier or harder with that.

    Nonetheless there are some Cons which I want to name:
    - The decision to kill Joel at all a punch in the face. Sure, it helps developing hatred for his killer and thus feeling what Ellie feels. But, man, this was a hard punch and I wish the Devs hadn't done that because they destroyed all of the relationship that Ellie and Joel built up in the first game. Yes, I know, since Joel saved her from death their relationship was a bit frozen but wouldn't it have made for a wonderfui story if the two would reconcile and he would FINALLY admit to her his father feelings for her? Instead he had to die (felt very rushed and extremely unecessary) and all of what the first game built up was ... gone. Poof. Like it never happened. That's not a very good storyline in my eyes but rather the failed try to make the player feel angry.
    - The boss fights were way too hard (even on lowest difficulty). They felt like 5 times harder than usual gameplay.
    - The game makes you feel stupid. Let me explain: There are many many situations where you exactly know that after the next squeeze-through/door/drop to a lower level either a boss fight or at least new hordes of enemies await you. You 100% know it but the game leaves you no choice in going around or hiding. It forces you into the fight or at least into being hit from your left and overwhelmed by some enemy. I consider this as cheap as a trick as jump scares in movies. Don't make the player KNOW what's coming and then make exactly this happen but instead let it happen when the player least expects it. Make the game unpredictable. Unfortunately the game is very predictable when it comes to enemy encounters.
    - The AI of the enemies is better than in the first game in my opinion but especially human enemies are more or less cannon fodder. The stalker though was an extremely nice enemy to fight and those encounters were the only ones where I really felt adrenaline. Most other encounters are more like planning a trip. Make the AI more unpredictable.
    - This game has way too many situations where you need to force push doors open because they are blocked by a shelf or something. Most times there were so many ways around those doors but you were forced to use this single way and no other.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is poignant, uncomfortable and oh so real. It tells a truth - Actions have consequences and violence only begets more violence.

It isn’t an escapist’s dream, but a heart breaking look at humanity, hate and ultimately, forgiveness. Tackling themes of selfishness, revenge, forgiveness, gender fluidity, sexuality and xenophobia, it is an absolute masterpiece.
    A landmark for story telling in any form of cinema, character development is just, wow. I have never cared as much for a fictional character as I have for Joel, never felt so conflicted about a protagonist’s decisions and never ever have I empathised so much with an ‘antagonist’.
    Much like the human experience, nothing about it is easy.
    In fact I believe it to have set a new precedent for NPC difficulty and AI.
    the game is gorgeous and lovingly filled with treasures from past beloved naughty dog games. I enjoyed every single moment of my 24 hour play through. This game shines through its contrast and parallels. Light and dark, lush green and concrete, guttural violence and gorgeous vistas, somber moments and unencumbered elation. All the while highlighting, the grey of it all. Constantly reminding us that we aren’t all that different, that we share pain and loss as the human race. Cannot speak more highly of the game. Anybody who’s thinking twice before getting TLOU2, my advice would be - get it, and you’ll never forget it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and there are so many problems I have for it. First The false advertisement, they advertised like Joel would be in the game a lot longer then he was by model swapping characters in the trailers if I knew that was the case I would have cancelled my pre order immediately. It is a completely scummy thing to do and before you say oh it’s a bait and switch no this is just pure lies which is no ok. Second is how they disrespected Joel the most beloved character by changing who he is you’re telling me the man who spotted a trap miles away would just give out his info to these random armed people and then center himself and make himself vulnerable? No no matter how long you live in a safe area those instincts don’t just go away it’s just poor writing on naughty dogs part. Then they make you feel like Joel is a bad guy for what he did to the surgeon who forced Joel’s hand. It’s made to seem like such a forced back story. The surgeon holds a scalpel up to and armed man trying to save Ellie. He sealed his own fate when he did that. Plus joe made the right call if you watch game theory’s video on Joel’s choice it’s well explained that the surgery is the worst choice possible in the first place and the vaccine would never work so Ellie would have died for nothing. The next problem is they make Ellie look like a villain, her seeking of revenge makes her look more and more evil by making her kill animals and the pregnant girl with Owen even though they both forced Ellie’s hand but you’re still made to feel guilty for it all. Then the unnecessary death Jessie because Ellie just leaves the map the screams here’s our base at the scene where she killed abbys friends just so it can be found just more lazy writing. By adding McGuffins at every turn in the story. The third huge problem is forcing us to play as Abby for Half the game, the person who killed Joel. I did not spend 60 dollars to hear about a story I could care less about. It is obvious they try so hard to make you like her by making her the good guy just after she tortured Joel for who knows how long. Joel killed her father quick he didn’t make him suffer for a long time like the psycho Abby. They make her look good by loving animals and helping two people get out from the trouble they are in and make her seem like such a loving and caring person. She was a poorly written character that was made to make you like her and make you feel bad for her. If they put even half the time into making the story line about Ellie and Joel like everyone wanted instead of making such a boring story about a new character no one wanted to know about there wouldn’t be so much hate for the game. Now they ending is what makes this game just so unbearable. Ellie and Dina have a good life they are finally happy. But they make Tommy into an ass just to guilt trip Ellie into getting revenge again. Ellie leaves everything behind to hunt Abby again making her look like the villain once again. Then when you finally find her they don’t even give you the satisfaction of getting your revenge Ellie is left maimed and Abby gets to go free Ellie returns to find Dina has left and Ellie is all alone. She finds Joel’s guitar and can’t play it due to her injuries instead of taking one of the only things she has left of him she leaves it behind and we have no closure for any parts of the story that we started. What happened to Dina and the baby? Where will Ellie go now? What about Tommy? Hell even their golden child Abby doesn’t get closure. If the game had just ended when Ellie and Dina would have settled down and Abby would have walked away I could have been happy with that ending it’s close for Ellie it’s the life she wanted but they had to destroy everything they built in the two games within an hour span. To me this game was lazy and instead of focusing on the character they should have they put their time into a new character who no one cared about and who isn’t the embodiment of the game series. The bond between Ellie and Joel was what made the first one so amazing but taking that all away within two how’s and making Ellie look like a villain towards Joel in the last moments together it just makes the game feel like a chore to complete. Now gameplay and visuals are great but I bought the game just for the story I knew from the first the gameplay would be fine and to me it was a spit in the face to what was truly loved about the first game. I was praying all game it would just be some big dream because honestly as much as I hate those endings it would have been 100 times better then what we got. Just save your money and stay away from the game I wish I could return it but it’s too late.… 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.
