    Well mixed feelings on the game. Stunning graphics and soundtrack still amazed on how you have all out done yourselves.

I understand why the game got hate after Joel died, but we all knew it was going to happen. otherwise, the story was great with a lot of unexpected moments and twists which makes the game interesting. I still think the ending should be a multiple-choice to kill or let Abby. Graphics are 10/10 all the way throughout the game. But the thing that takes my score to 9 instead of 10 is the waste of 10 hours playing as Abby… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me this game was amazing, I know it’s like a bandwagon to hate on it because of killing Joel and the supposed “crappy writing.” Yes there could have been more expansion of narrative on some parts to flesh out the story more but overall the story and gameplay where amazing. This game is not a story of happiness, it’s a game that shows you the consequences your actions have, to many people don’t care what they do in video games it’s just complete the objective no matter the cost and move forward, that was the entirety of the first game as Joel, kill everybody in your way to get Ellie to the fireflies and then kill all the fireflies to save Ellie, those actions have repercussions and that’s what we deal with in part 2. Naughty Dog wanted to show the players that even though you play as a character and love them, that in your eyes they are the hero and are amazing, their actions are not heroic, their actions are not without consequences. That’s why I actually grew to like the dual narrative of Abby, it’s not a section to make you like her and her group, it’s a section to make you see the lives you are ending, the dogs you may be killing in the game, it’s to show you the weight of what Tommy and Ellie are doing by killing all those people, and yes the WLF aren’t saints either but they are humans with their own lives, ones that go to the gym or some may have children in school. This game wants to open your eyes to the other side of your actions, where as you may see them as validated, the people on the other side may see you as a monster. For this reason I see the ending as needed, it was not Ellie’s right to kill Abby, if she had killed Abby then the game would have been for nothing, nothing would have been learned and then it would have created a truly bad game, but in her not killing Abby it shows that Ellie has grown and that she knows what she does can have consequences, that if she kills Abby then later Lev could take revenge and later down the line kill her and cause another wave of violence. The game is meant to end the cycle of violence created by Joel in the first, it’s meant to show for new beginnings and for a hope on the future. For that I continue to love Naughty Dog and their ambition to create such raw and emotional games, ones that make you think on a deeper narrative, not just kill until you get to the next location and kill again until you finish the game. I applaud them for taking such a huge risk and succeeding with it, and I can’t wait for any of their future projects.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having finished the game from start to finish, overall the game feels decent. Graohics, sound, animation, gameplay, responsiveness, all feel amazing. And works wounderfully! Even reflections in mirrors and water were kinda tripping me out So story...it is passable, the motivations behind characters actions make sense within the context of this post apocalyptic world. Even if certian things characters did that i did like, aka Abby killing joel, having played Abbys side it makes total sense she'd want to kill joel. The ending. Well i didnt hate it. I certianly didnt like it, but i dont think it was bad. I just didnt like how it ended but yet again it made sense for the world and story. Overall though there are a few things that just seemed a bit kinda shoehorned in, or that its inclusion didnt make enough sense. And abbys section felt the most guilty of this. Biggest question, why did she suddenly have such a massive change of heart just because they saved her? A change of heart, sure. But it seemed way to overblown and drastic and felt a bit too forced. They could have done a better job making it seem a bit more believeable. Then again it took place over like a day and a half so eh. By the end part of the game i can understand their closeness by that point of course. Just happened to drastically at the start imo

    Fun, passable, mostly enjoyable story. Kinda drags in some areas, but overall it isnt as memorable as the first one. But i did enjoy this one thoroughly. Ill for sure be replaying it to platinum, but not sure if id play a 3rd time. Though if complete enhanced for ps5, yeah id play it again. I gave it a 8 because it is a pretty good game. Isolated from everything external to the game, its very good as a game. It is a bit rough around the edges. But i honestly can see other peoples criticism of the game, and i can understand why they felt that way. But for me i did enjoy this. Not as much as the first, but i am very happy with the overall product.    … Expand

    Desearía nunca haberlo jugado ya que es tan malo que arrasa con todo lo que había logrado en una primera entrega ,que fue mi juego favorito, por eso su nota cae aun más. Sobre el personaje de Abby, nada que idecir lo que es otro desacierto, ni te encariñas ni lo odias, irrelevante.

If you are into a gripping emotional story and rollercoaster ride than play this game..Yes Joel dies but it fuels Ellie in my opinion that's the point, it definitely was a hard pill to swallow. Than you play as his killer, I hated it for the first 2 hours of playing Abby but ended up enjoying my time with her. I feel the world wasn't ready for this game. The game does have some issues with the flow of the game but besides that, i enjoyed it.… Expand

Characters I'm meant to agree with, I found myself holding back + struggled on some points in the game to do what it was asking me. AH! It was just so great. I'm not disappointed in the least. I'm sad. Because it was all around just hella sad... so ill be feeling that for a while. 12/10 for me.

    Also. I think it entirely depends on your personality and character how you rated this game..... Morales. Beliefs. Level of empathy.

    ALSO. Ive read a few places that it glorifies violence. Its violent as hell. But its SUPPOSED to make you uncomfortable. I started off feeling that revenge and anger and it very quickly changed at the halfway mark...to where it become painful to kill/be violent in situations you could more or less avoid.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich kann die Kritik von den den anderen Usern gut verstehen, weil nach so langer Zeit habe auch ich mehr erwartet besonders am Ende des Spiels. Das Spiel hat eine echt schöne Grafik mit geilem Gameplay welches mir persönlich extrem viel Spaß gemacht hat. Die Story war irgendwie packend besonders der Anfang und dann scheißt es rein. Besonders Abby zu spielen hat mich so Getriggert ich hätte 100 mal lieber mit Ellie weiter gemacht, das hat mir nicht so gefallen aber da muss man halt durch. Sie haben einfach viel zu viel Hype um die Story gemacht aber das Gameplay die Animations damit haben Sie zurecht geworben das sieht einfach son Nice aus wenn man jemanden Sneak Killt die Gesichter sehen einfach nice aus mit den Emotionen. Natürlich waren wieder die Jumpscares hinter den schmalen durchgängen dabei, und auch andere aber die waren eigentlich Gut außer das die mit den Schmalen durchgängen relativ oft passierten. So jetzt widme ich mich der Story nachdem ich da oben einfach ohne System los geschrieben hab. Die Story hat echt viele Plot holes gemacht dat werdet ihr auch in anderen Reviews lesen sogar sehr oft. Diesmal war es nicht deine Mission Ellie zum Krankenhaus zu bringen sondern Joel´s Mörder umzubringen. Dabei erkundet man Zahlreiche Gegenden mit Zombies oder Menschlichen Feinden die man auf eigene Art bewältigen kann. Rein in die Olga oder einfach alle Stealth Killn oder komplett ohne Kampf durchsneaken(ist nicht immer möglich glaube ich) die Story Endet echt mies aber auch irgendwie Verständlich muss ich sagen. Mir persönlich hat das Game übelst Spaß gemacht und war kein Fehlkauf, ich weiß die anderen Leute sind Save nicht meiner Meinung aber is ja meine. Das Spiel bekommt von mir 10/10 wenn die noch einen Multiplayer rausbringen da hätte ich übelst bock drauf am besten ein PVE und ein PVP aber beim PVP auch zombies auf den Maps das würde warscheinlich auch die anderen das Spiel dann besser bewerten lassen.

    So danke das ihr mein unnützes Review gelesen habt (hab einfach mehr Geschrieben als ich je gefühlt in einer Klassenarbeit früher geschrieben hab)    … Expand

    Technically this game is made very well, the graphics are great and the gameplay is enjoyable too, The combat is realistic and these things do need to be praised, there are parts of this game which are worthy of standing next to the first game but this game is held back MASSIVELY by the story.

    To be brutally honest it was one of the worst stories i have experienced in gaming, the way they treat characters from the first game is disrespectful and brutal, the pacing is completely off and it feels like they are genuinely trying to make you either angry or sad all the way throughout the game, there is so much more i could say but that would involve spoiling the plot, the story is such a big factor in this franchise that no matter how good the gameplay and graphics are i cannot give this game a good score because i felt nothing but anger, disappointment, sadness and a feeling of emptiness at times.

    The ending of this story also made the whole journey feel pointless and also left me feeling very unsatisfied, to me this game could have been one of the best of the generation, it feels like the design team pulled out their A game but the story team wanted to go a route which would divide players for the sake of being different but not only was this route definitely not one they should have taken but it was also implemented very poorly indeed.

    I waited a long time for this game and feel nothing but anger and disappointment from the game's story even though the combat was enjoyable and the graphics were nice to look at.... despite these two good points of the game i still couldn't fully appreciate them because of the story of the game.

    I will also say it was nice to see naughty dog implement little hints of positivity towards the lgbtq community and also the inclusion of a trans character, i know some people believe this was forced a bit but i see it as a positive part of the game, it's just a shame that of all the games to do this it was one which ultimately released as a big disappointment to me and many others. i just wished this game could have had a story even half as good as the first one, then it would have been something special.    … Expand

Yes will you be upset with the controlling of certain characters? sure but i think that's the point of this game. It is meant to make the player feel uncomfortable and to engage in something outside of their comfort zone. If you want a game to lay back and play and veg out, this is not the game for your. If you want a game that will linger after you play it and make you feel, then this game succeeds. I personally trend to the latter and for me i thoroughly enjoyed this game.… 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]
