    Definitely a masterpiece! In my opinion, as a person that has played a huge tons of games, I can proudly say this was the best game I ever played until today in all aspects! No game, movie or series has ever made me feel the way this game made my feel, it really managed to touch us, great story!

In my opinion, as a person that has played a huge tons of games, I can proudly say this was the best game I ever played until today in all aspects! No game, movie or series has ever made me feel the way this game made my feel, it really managed to touch us, great story! I’m pretty sure most of the haters didn’t even play the game, they probably just watched some youtubers playing it ( some of the youtubers toxic, I saw some that would make it impossible to enjoy the game ) and some didn’t even watch the full game. This is surely a game only mature people will enjoy. Also, this shows how toxic the gaming community can be, something is not liking the game, but being a hater and wasting time raging everywhere about the game and even sending death threats to Naughty Dog... You can see how reliable most of the negative reviews are due to this and due to the hate having already started with the death leak before the game launched. I mean, a huge quantity of the negative reviews were on the firsts days after launch, they probaly didn't even finish the game... I'm pretty sure anyone who has actually completed it didn't atleast hate the game. Definitely deserved GOTY! Expand

    I want start it off with a statement, taht i just loved the first game. It was for me not a games game but more more of a story with game machanics to go through it. It was all about a relations, decision, bonds, characters, things that should be said and shouldnt. It was just one beautiful piece of work with a hard hitting ending.

It was for me not a games game but more more of a story with game machanics to go through it. It was all about a relations, decision, bonds, characters, things that should be said and shouldnt. It was just one beautiful piece of work with a hard hitting ending. In fact with ending that left me hanging, cuz i couldnt really agree with Joel but on the same hand i understood him i probaly would have done the same. and the sequel is much more of the same. As i wasnt sure how they would try to continue the story after such a good ending as i was muchly open as i wasnt expecting nothing.
    To my suprise the sequell i straight up the consequence of the actions done in the first part. It builds on it and moves the characters forward. The actions they made impacted them and they were living with a budren of it. Thanks to that the flow of the game is mustly natural. Knowing Ellie and Joel we understand why they taking this and not other actions. What drives them basically saying. As i dont really want to spoil anything i will depart my review in parts.
    Graphics
    This is just splendin looking game. The vision that authors had is much what we gets. The enviroment apart from looking great is packed with idiotic attention to detail. The colors are great and what i love tells basically what the characters are thinking - they emotional state. As an exemple - the opening scene of the game with Joel and Tommy and their conversations. The colours are firstly mostly dark and tense, the forest is deep greeny and almost surrending Joel withon itself. Than it suddenly goes up and it starting to geet nicer. And i think it perfectly fits with what Joel is thinking. As he tells his story he stucked with it for a good while and only after he could calm himself. And thats in many points of game done so Vide Ellie and "red" scene, Day 3 and heavy rain, starting with Abby, Abbys escape and so on..
    Charachters are also perfectly done and i cant express my self how satisfied i am with what i seen.
    Simply put ND outdone themself here and is just 10/10.
    Atmosphere
    I touched already upon the colors and building the emotional state of characters so lets go elsewhere. Loved the sound of that game. It knows when it should go quiet and when to pick up. Sometimes we hear some little sounds form somewhere which keeps us on guard. Loved the fact that they continued with mostly guitar based simple music, as guitar plays significant role in this game. Locations are perfectly well done and leaves you with an real life place, that was only left in the misery of time. Small letters sticks to places where you find them and places tells other part of their stories. Every place is done with intention to give an impression on the player. Nothing seems fake.
    The story itself is more of diving deep into bad place, and it sticks in it for a long time. Actors played they role really good and does not seem fake even for a second.
    Loved the parts where during a sneaky fight and after doing a damage i hear the enemy shouting a name of other friend, to check on him. It just keeps the imeersion alive.
    Plot
    Thats the most tricky part of my review. Many shouted many things and i will try to adress some of them.
    LGBT - i have no problem with it. Its done naturally and also rolling with character of Ellie from first part. Its nothing put out from nowhere.
    Female main characters - its just plain stupid to argue about it. Ellie is a natural protagonist and the other one is just her counterpart to make similarieties. Anyways its story done and why should anyone argue with it?
    - Dig into other side - well this game is all about perspectives. Firstly you think that what Ellies about to do is ok, and as the game rolls you start to question her actions. And then you jimped on the other side, i find out that Ellies perspective is very similar to other sides, and it really does matter where you sit when you judge someones action. So as i was negativly at the start with it, it grew on me. And then it does matter at the finale where neither You or Ellie are sure why you persuit what you are about to do.
    Gameplay - it is satisfying, but mainly basic. For such a game there is not too much of variety of enemies but it does not hurt. As i already stated the storytelling is the main part of the game - not the gameplay.
    Fun - Now that is the hardest one. Its not fun game simply put. And it wasnt inteted to be also. It is a game where you should question yourself many times. It is hard hitting, often down to the ground one way journey, where you need to roll with it, sympathise with characters and see them... well.. lose themselfs. Its not fun game in terms what you expect. Its more of an experience. Games even leaves you with this feeling of unacomplishment while we cant really speak of a happy ending for real.
    All put together i rate it 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Liberal Neo-Marxism and discrimination. All the so called "religious" people in this game are religious fanatics who want to kill and torture a transgender person. As if all religious people from every religion were like that but apparently after the world ended, ended all types of non-marxist stereotypes of religious people and religious groups. There are no liberals among them. None of them loves others. All of them are basically New Testament era pharisees. This game is discriminating against religion and religious people. It also discriminates religious liberals when it claims that only hateful bigots survived the end of the world. All the "good guys" are non-religious people and I'll say this again, none of the "religious" people in this game help the transgender person against others of their own group. What adds up to the irony of that all was the claim of the developers of the game to say that there's moral ambiguity because they picture both the villains background and the Ellie's background. But as faithful Marxists the development team forgot that even after the end of the world there would be people who joined the religious fanatics but then disagreed with them but for one reason or another decided to not obey their rules as strictly. This has been shown to happen in religious groups in the past and is happening in many western countries today. What I described happened during the 16th century in Germany. Google Martin Luther. Yeah, after the end of the world only liberals can think for themselves according to Naughty Dog. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es sin duda una gran pena que miles de personas no hayan sabido valorar como es debido la inmensa creación de la gente de "Naughty Dog". Se puede resumir en muy pocas palabras: Mejor juego del año 2020 y uno de los mejores videojuegos de este siglo. Mi intención no es entrar a la fiera discusión que hubo en su lanzamiento, sino valorar objetivamente esta gran obra de arte.
    Sin duda alguna, es una entrega que lo hace de 10 en muchos aspectos. El principal, en mi opinión, es la narrativa principal. Si bien a muchos fans no les gusto que Joel fuese apartado de la trama en los comienzos del juego, no se puede asignar un 0 a la narrativa y en general a este videojuego por ese hecho. La trama va mas allá de matar a repulsivos y escalofriantes zombis. Es una historia donde prima el drama, la tragedia, la soledad y la tristeza. Una historia cargada de momentos trágicos, como lo son las muertes inoportunas y sorprendentes de muchos personajes que aparecen a lo largo de la historia. También es impactante la forma en que se desarrollan las dos partes de la narrativa. Por un lado la trama de Ellie, su caza fructuosa por Seattle, en busca de una venganza implacable y fría, sangrienta y salvaje. Por otro lado, la emotiva y fiera historia de superación de Abby, que al principio se nos presenta como el principal antagonista de la trama. La trama se desarrolla en 3 días, los 3 de Ellie y los 3 días Abby respectivamente, entrelazándose ambas historias y creando momentos de tensión muy agudos. Lo cierto es que la narrativa es mas extensa (unas 25 horas) que en la primera entrega, pero también es una narrativa con muchos mas personajes, además de que "Naughty Dog" parece que quiso cerrar el circulo con esta entrega, dejándonos seguramente sin "The Last Of Us 3".
    El siguiente aspecto realmente remarcable es el apartado grafico. Sumemos y pensemos por un momento qué serian las escenas dramáticas, nostálgicas y en general sentimentales sin unos personajes con una definición brillante, un entorno cuidado y detallado y por supuesto unas expresiones faciales perfectas. Esto ocurre con esta entrega; el realismo abrumador de todo en general nos hace sentir lo que les ocurre a los personajes, desde lo que se nos cuenta en las espectaculares cinemáticas con un punto de granulado ideal que nos transporta al cine hasta el "gameplay" en general, que también mantiene un tono de cinemática increíble.
    Por otro lado, también destaca en el apartado como yo lo llamo de los "detalles". Son los pequeños detalles los que marcan la diferencia entre un videojuego y un gran videojuego. Por ejemplo, el increíble realismo de la sangre, los desmembramientos a enemigos, la mejora de armas o la rotura de cristales son esos detalles que marcan la diferencia. Otro detalle fascinante es el incremento de pulsaciones y respiración tanto de Ellie como de Abby en combate o en momentos de tensión.
    Otro punto que no quiero dejar pasar sin comentar es el de la inteligencia artificial. Los enemigos, principalmente humanos, cobran una personalidad, un realismo que realmente nos hacen acobardarnos de ellos y sumergirnos en un combate de guerrilla y en el que primara el sigilo y la puntería con nuestras armas y la poca munición de la que disponemos.
    Con todo esto, no podemos negar que no todo lo de este videojuego es brillante, pero en general todo lo que se ve, todo lo que uno puede disfrutar y sentir es asombroso. Sin duda, no esperaba que esta entrega me fuese a fascinar tanto.

    A great game that raises very important topics. Sometimes there are no good or bad. There are people who find themselves in a difficult situation, and it is easy to talk about something from the outside until this misfortune occurs in your life. Very deep and difficult game.

    Con The Last of Us - Part II Naughty Dog si afferma come una delle software house migliori di sempre, regalandoci un gioco che

    - migliora il primo nel gameplay, offrendo al giocatore un'esperienza più varia, data dalle nuove possibilità in combattimento e da un intelligenza artificiale sbalorditiva. Il tutto rende il gioco non solo difficile e gratificante, ma anche e soprattutto molto divertente da giocare.

    - offre una storia molto complessa e profonda, in grado di far vibrare le corde del cuore tanto in positivo quanto con emozioni di forte rabbia, tristezza e solitudine, senza però mai risultare banale nei suoi momenti dolci, né eccessivamente drammatica nei suoi (tantissimi) momenti tristi.
    Il punto di forza della narrazione di The Last of Us - Part II non è tanto la scrittura, né tantomeno la regia (seppur eccellente) ma l'incredibile messa in scena, semplicemente FUORI PARAMETRO. La recitazione digitale poi, è forse l'apice più alto mai raggiunto nella storia del medium.

    - presenta un comparto tecnico incredibile, a partire dal superbo sound design, per poi passare dalla stupenda regia a un doppiaggio mozzafiato, da animazioni facciali mai viste a un'incredibile attenzione al dettaglio.

    - ha una longevità invidiabile per il genere di cui fa parte, dato che la storia principale richiederà come minimo 20/25 ore per essere completata.

    In conclusione, The Last of Us - Part II è un gioco che difficilmente deluderà le vostre aspettative, che si rivolge a chi ha amato il primo capitolo e a chi in generale piacciono le belle storie. Consiglio però a tutti di giocare il primo The Last of Us, imprescindibile per la godibilità del secondo e per godere al meglio di una trama con molti riferimenti al capitolo precedenti.

    Naughty Dog ha fatto centro, The Last of Us - Part II è un masterpiece, un must have, un motivo per comprare ps4 e a mio onesto e modesto parere un motivo per avvicinarsi al medium videoludico. Uno dei giochi migliori di questa generazione.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is just my honest opinion. The reason this review comes so late is because I played the game twice. The first time I was so heartbroken. It totally crushed me. I kept thinking about it for weeks. At that time I found the game **** I wasn't sure of my opinion so I searched people on yt, twitch, etc. who had the same thought of the game as me. The more and more I watched the worse I began to see the game. After that, the game still chased me. I began to wonder, should I give it another shot. So again, I looked up reviews of the game. Now, I only wanted to see positive reviews. After a lot of searching, I found 1 yt-video of Nathan Zeb. The title of the video was:The Last of Us 2 is a Perfect Sequel for the ones who want to watch it. It completed changed my mind. I gave the game a second chance.
    After playing the game twice. I understand now how wrong I was and maybe a lot of people feel this way as well. In my opinion, I think why we saw the game as a **** game is because we are to focused on Ellie and getting revenge. Once you start to look at a different point of view, you realize this game is stunning in every way.
    So to close this off and for the people who just want a recap. Watch that video of Nathan Zeb. Play the game again but try to look at it differently.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like it's predecessor, here it delivers nothing but shooting, survival and an inmersive experience, full of emotions, right from the very beggining, all the way to the end.
    While some user critics say that this game is "full of garbage", for a fan of TLOU franchise such as myself, it did took me a little while to recover from the emotional scars of The Last Of Us Part II's journey. But when I did, I kind of understood the vision of Neil Druckmann and his team.
    While the plot the game has made some controversy around all kind of players, we have to see it from all the types of criticism to see what's good and bad with TLOU Part II.

    Good things:
    - Graphics: it's certainly a MAYOR development, even greater than the original game. The development on graphics empathises on human facial emotions, landscapes, textures and even gruesome details in killing the opponent's NPS's. It's truly a remarcable change.
    - Music: bringing Gustavo Santaolalla back to the composition of the music of the game it is the real core for SUCESS. Santaolalla comes back, delivers and goes home like a champ, bringing the player to an even inmersiver journey that, all alone, the game itself has put in front of us. Emotions are well put on the music that Santaolalla delivers: rage for a moment, anguish and sadness for another, happiness for another... Truly, a musical masterpiece.
    - Cast: bringing back Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker was no surprise to anybody that liked the franchise. I mean, cutting them out even before the game could be developed, would be a real error to the making of ANY game of The Last of Us at this point. Johnson forces Ellie to go to other places, showing us an enraged, sad, happy and doubtful Ellie along the way. Meanwhile, Baker drops out many surprises in his role as Joel. For everyone else in the cast, the game forces them to go places where no one could've gone before, and delivers beautifully and epicly. Truly, a great, remarkable work.
    - Gameplay: along with graphics, this could be the GREATEST development ever in the TLOU franchise. While Joel was slow and muscular, here you play as a young adult Ellie, which have to use (and uses better) abilities like stealth, speed, agility and fast crafting of weaponry on the field, on the lack of strength if you compare her to Joel's.
    - Cinematography: following the graphics and gameplay, the cinematography, compared to the first game, is even better, but has changed from many points, if we try to compare it to the first game. While in the first it follows the main characters wherever they go, here (even though it follows) the camera comes from afar and reach close to the main characters or even the opposite, going close and then, afar from them, making the viewers see the bigger picture while they can.

    Mixed (good and bad) things:
    - Script: while the plot thickens on the premise of the game itself, the script does have mayor ups and downs (not to mention in full detail any of them), but even so, it works adecuate to a game with such a fandom like this game. Phrases that goes to a "cliché" spectrum of randomness and awkardly zone, really tries to become a good thing at some times, delivering great most of the time.
    - Plot: well, what can I say? It's good, for the most part. It has a beggining and a middle that are good, but from the middle to the end, it has a LOT of things that could make ANYONE rage quit or say "WHAT?!? HOW?!?". Seriously speaking, I didn't understood WHY it ended the way it did, nor WHY the emotions that I felt stayed with me for so long, after finishing the game.
    Spoilers aside, the plot of the game it's truly a controversial one, that only could divide the fandom and general players. But, I mean, that's what the first one kinda did in the first place, right? Thing is, here, in this game, the plot thickens even more into a darker one that we've already been playing, making us wonder "WHY the Naughty Dog staff couldn't just... finish the game at any point but there?".
    It certainly took me a while to understand Neil Druckmann and staff's point of view of the development of the game, but I think, personally, that the plot is well-developed, controversial, yes, but, nonetheless, truly amazing. It gives you that kind of sadness, wonder and emotional void that NO other game could give you, not even games like Gears of War 3 or the original The Last Of Us (although, the first game of this saga is 12/10, nothing bad can be said about it).

    What I'm trying to say here is, while controversial, The Last of Us Part II delivers an amazingly well developed game, that will give the fans and general gamers all the emotions possible in a dark journey. While it costed a big amount of money in its release, it is worth every cent of it.

    At first i was sceptical about this game with all the spoilers and people crapping on it but as a pretty big fan of the first game i thought of giving it a try epsecially since a friend lend it to me. So i tried to be open minded and faithful until the ending that the game might actually be good and that it would be a matter of people just **** on a product for stupid reasons. Long storyAt first i was sceptical about this game with all the spoilers and people crapping on it but as a pretty big fan of the first game i thought of giving it a try epsecially since a friend lend it to me. So i tried to be open minded and faithful until the ending that the game might actually be good and that it would be a matter of people just **** on a product for stupid reasons. Long story short, the story is FULL of plot holes. I mean my brain was hurting with all them plot holes. Its just a mess where the guy that wrote the plot just wanted to tick EVERY SINGLE thing on the political agenda list. Its just so sad to see such a prolific title with so many fans since the first game to destroy everything its predecesor just built. The rest of the game is a solid 8/10 with amazing music, graphics, enviroment, lighting, enviroment and pretty much anything else. Gameplay is fun and enjoyable even though the AI, with enemy people specifically, is not bad but not great either. So all in all the game without the story is a solid 8/10 to me but the story is so terrible that i give it a 3/10 at best.
    P.S. please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD just stop putting agendas and politics into games, i dont play games neither for those two, i play games for the fun and maybe to learn some things. OR AT LEAST if you gonna make a game about political correctness just do it right so atleast the plot makes sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us II complete masterpiece One of Part 2’s biggest achievements is how it knowingly handles the weighted expectations that a sequel to one of the most heralded game stories of all time will inevitably carry with fans. It starts out seemingly simple, taking place about four years after the end of the original and setting an older, angrier, but still-immune Ellie on a quest for revenge that also hones in on the cycles of violence that can plague humanity as much as any infection. It knowingly leans into the tropes of the genre, such as guilt by association and the inevitable escalation of matching an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But those cliches are often subverted, playing into the expansive and not-so-straightforward path ahead. Expand

    Mein Rat für jeden, der das erste Teil sehr liebt wie ich: NIEMALS DIESES SPIEL KAUFEN.
    Ich hab es leider getan und nach 30 Stunden (wo ungefähr 10 Stunden voll unnötig und uninteressant waren) hab ich nur eine sehr bittere Enttäuschung bekommen.
    Joel war für mich 50% des Spiels. Nachdem dieser Monster voller Steroiden Abby ihn getötet hat, hatte ich gar kein Bock mehr weiterzuzocken. Auch Ellie hat man verändert. In erstem Teil war sie eine kleine, coole Nervensäge, die immer Joel ausgelacht hat und deswegen mochte ich sie. Aber in zweitem Teil hat sie ihn einfach gehasst und wie ein Stück von Scheiße behandelt. Stellt euch vor, sie war für ihn wie seine Tochter Sarah, er hat mehrere Menschen getötet, alles was er konnte getan, damit sie überlebt und dann hasst die ihn einfach. DAS. IST. DUMM. Das hat mir sehr weh getan. Dafür kann ich auch -30% abziehen. Und restliche 20% für unnötige, dumme Story mit Abby und Scars, Und ich rede jetzt nicht wie sehr in diesem Spiel Männer als Lappen und Hurensöhne dargestellt werden, wie Absurd die ganze Geschichte mit langweiligen, uninteressanten Nebencharakteren ist und wie die versucht haben, dass ich am Ende noch irgendwas für Abby und diesen/diese Lev empfinde. Man kann die beide mit Joel und Ellie niemals vergleichen.
    Ich kann so stundenlang aufzählen, wie schlecht das Spiel ist, aber ich hab einfach dafür kein Bock.
    Neil Druckmann ist kein Genie, sondern ein Arschloch. Sowas zu machen ist einfach ein Spuck ins Gesicht.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game received more hate than any game I've seen in a long time. The criticisms I see most often are as follows. 1) The story was sub-par and it focuses too much on tragedy. 2) The game was too heavy handed about representing the cultural, sexual, and physical diversity of people. Some would even go so far as to say the story was politically driven. 3) The character development was shallow and bothersome. 4) SPOILERS ---- "Oh no! They killed my favorite character! This was supposed to be a story about Jole and Ellie being father and daughter!" So, let's address these criticisms one at a time.

    1) Your dislike of a tragic story is not a valid argument for you to assert that the story wasn't good. There are plenty of movies I would rate very well that I dislike. My dislike of a movie based on my lack of interest in it's content doesn't make it a bad movie. Every aspect of this story was plagued with hard decisions, untimely deaths and lose-lose situations. If you're **** that the game didn't make you feel all warm inside, go play something else. The Last of Us is CLEARLY not for you. If you've played the first game, you'd know that. Part II just took it a couple steps further. 2) This criticism pisses me off. Walk down the street in any city and you'll see people of many different shapes and sizes, cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Your not knowing about this diversity in people simply by looking at them doesn't mean it isn't there. So what, there's a trans character that is unjustly punished for being different. Whoa... So what. There's a woman who is built like a UFC fighter that could DEFINITELY kick the ass of 98% of the people who played this game. So what. The main character loves another woman. Who the **** cares? These things are normal. Maybe, if this aspect of the game makes you feel uncomfortable, it's time to take a closer look at yourself and figure out why. 3) I don't even know where to begin with this one. Seems like a jab to get a rise out of people, so I'm not taking the bait. 4) What did you expect? Jesus. Naughty Dog didn't make this game to pander to fans. They made it to tell yet another incredible story. Name one great story that doesn't have loss. That's because it's ****ing real, and you're supposed to feel something when people you love die. People are actually complaining that they didn't get enough fan service by making Part II a copy of the first game. Let me be perfectly clear. This game is a masterpiece and I dare anyone to try to sway my opinion on this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, I am not much of a games critic - to the point that this is, my first ever review of a game. The reason why I decided to share my thoughts is the impact that the game had on me. I will not be very original by saying that the game’s morbid story hit me with force of a horse kick. I neither expected nor wanted this feeling … and that is what makes the plot sticks with me.

    I spent around 50 hours of playing the game (in the middle of it my PS4 died and had to start from the scratch) and all of those hours, from beginning to end, created a well-structured and holistic tale of anger, vengeance, trauma & moving on. I think the game should not by any chance be rated in isolation from the first part. The reason for that is the character development, which by many might seem to be inconsistent but in my humble opinion is actually very realistic and simply makes sense. Does Ellie evolve in the direction of ‘good’ protagonist? Definitely not. But why would she? Looking at her childhood experiences, confusing five years of puberty and traumatic events of the first scenes of the game, it seems that falling into the pit of anger and despair is very life-like. The fact that Ellie is more of ‘artistic soul’ makes it even more complex – all those bleak and sorrowful feelings are more intense to her than to other characters. After portraying rise of Ellie in the first game and her fall in the second one I hope Naughty Dog will give the protagonist an opportunity to redeem herself.

    That being said I can go to the next main character, similarly traumatized but experienced by different life circumstances – Abby. I love how I hated Abby at the beginning and during game-play started to understand her motives and find similarities with Ellie. I respect the bravery of creators to ‘force’ players to fill Abby’s shoes. I liked that ‘imposed empathy treatment’ served to me – made me remember that everyone has a story and their own reasons to act in particular way, even if this is not my way. I still treat this part of the plot as a side-story, simply because I sympathize with Ellie more.

    I still miss more developed Joel’s story. Joel died with a terrible death he did not deserve. Don’t get me wrong, I do not think his death was meaningless. It changed Ellie, It changed Abby and I think the intention was to change me as well. His sudden demise still got me left with emptiness and sorrow that was not changed through the entire game.

    When it comes to graphics, it is simply amazing. The world is depicted in a very detailed and, I won’t be afraid to use the word, beautiful way. Audio, including music and sound effects, is mind-blowing. Period. You need to listen to it yourself. I found game-play amusing but simply because I was exploring the world. I understand that focusing only on main plot might seem monotonous. I don’t believe though the game was designed to go from one location to another without delving into details of the post-apocalyptic universe.

    First part of The Last of Us was not about showing adventures of Joel and Ellie. It was about showing struggle to stay human in a dehumanized world through Joel and Ellie’s journey. Is sequel then that much different?

    Plot: 8/10

    This game is the biggest disappointment in my 26 years of gaming experience.
    And it won't be surprising to know that the first part of The Last of Us is one of my all-time favorite video games.
    I understand that creativity needs space, an artist needs freedom. And the creators wanted to convey such emotions and a message that could not have been conveyed without certain events in the game.
    But this is a commercial product, and it should be borne in mind that some manipulations will cause acute hostility and even outright hatred among buyers.
    I became one of those buyers. The Last of Us: Part Two brought me emotions that I didn't want to experience. And this causes me outright hatred, irritation, despondency and disgust for the game.
    At the same time, the author's manipulations do not work, he fails to portray what the game journalists are talking about. Perhaps, in order to be impressed by this game, you should not have enough emotional involvement in the fate of the heroes of the first part. I do not know. I only know that in 26 years this is the only game that has caused me hatred.

Like when ellie killed owen and mel who helped yara, ellie killed owen the guy who's close to abby's heart after her father?? And lev killed his own mother the one who's close to anybody in this world's heart even if she used to shout at you. He killed her and told abby to let Ellie go like she didnt do anything.
    I rated the game 3 because and graphics and first few hours of gameplay made me enjoy it a little bit.

    This game was a narrative mess. Beautiful graphics though. Played half of it, then when the characters switched I couldn't force myself to continue.....deleted then sold the game.

    Great gameplay, and stunning to look at. But the bad story is ruining everything. Spits on the first game, which was a masterpiece. Stay away from this one, and replay part one instead.

    Also, this review is a year in the making. I unfortunately was unable to leave a review when the game game out because all negative reviews were locked. Loved TLOU1 and Left Behind. My two favorite games ever. TLOU2 is a complete departure from the first entry. The good: For the most part, Ellie and Dina had a cute relationship. It was nice to see Ellie happy post - Joel. The flashback scene at the museum with Joel and Ellie made me cry. Very beautiful. The graphics are phenomenal and the gameplay is, well TLOU gameplay. These games are story driven, but you’re not playing Arkham Knight or God of War here. It is what it is. The bad: depressing. It’s not edgy. The story is horribly paced. It uses every plot device in the book to make its point, and literally completely ignores any type of character development from the first game so that the story can push in the direction the writers think it needs to go. Forcing us to play as a new character didn’t work in Metal Gear solid 2, and it surely doesnt work here. Abby is given every dirty trick in the book to try to convince the viewer to sympathize with her but it doesn’t work. Playing with cute dogs? Wow ok. Then later in her arc she’s literally brutally murdering her friends because she met a little boy (from the enemy faction no less) a few hours earlier. There’s no payoff to the story. They should’ve left Joel and Ellie out of this game and subbed in completely néw characters if this is what they were going to do. Joel is dead, Ellie is figuratively dead (absolute no where for her character to go in a 3rd installment), Tommy is dead, Jesse is dead, Dina ran away, and so basically every trace of the first game was buried in this game. It’s horrible fan service and the reason why this game didn’t sell well (Sony/ND isn’t even listing the total sales since release because they’re embarrassing). The positive reviews were bought by ND. If you really want to see what people think about this game, watch play throughs from YouTubers. There’s no reason to give this game or any Last of Us IP title a dime of your money ever again. ND and Sony ruined one of the best video games ever. This was so bad I’m actually switching to Xbox when i get a gen 5 console.

    The last of us part 2 is a masterpiece in every aspect, an incredible direction, soundtrack, sound design, gameplay and graphics, without forgetting an original, exciting, memorable and innovative story, setting new standards on storytelling and naughty dog should be recognized as the best software house after the creation of this monumental work.

    This game is so incredible that it makes you feel sensations you have never experienced, if this is not a masterpiece I don't know what else it can be. 10/10

    The game is amazing in every aspect, the graphics, the design of the environment and the characters, it really feels like a natural evolution from the first part.

    The game is amazing in every aspect, the graphics, the design of the environment and the characters, it really feels like a natural evolution from the first part.
    The story goes deeper into the moral dilemma of the value of a life and the consequences of our actions. Although the main story revolves again around ellie, the game now gives us the opportunity to know the other side of the story. How Joel's decision had repercussions far beyond from just "saving" Ellie. The game even gives us the opportunity to play as the "enemy", which it definitely adds perspective and complexity to the world built around the original characters.
    Usually games give us faceless very bad guys to justify the actions of the epic hero, which makes it easier to kill every one that stand on his way without asking if the guy that we just killed had his own motivations. For me, the bad reviews are from people that got very attached to the original characters, and watching them as the "enemy" is not something that you usually find on games. I also have seen criticism about some changes in the characters' personality, and I admit that some changes seem to be there just for the sake of the game's argument. But if you think about it, the context on which we met Joel for the first time, is very different to where he stands on the second part, he doesn't have the same objectives or even the same perspective about his life. While the story seemed to me to be a very good one, I must admit that the last quest is kind of non sense, but I guess that at the end is just Ellie's brutal revenge story and human nature.

    It's tempting to give this a 10 to outweigh some of the ridiculous reviews this game has received, but I think it's better to give my honest opinion. This game is not perfect, it's not a masterpiece but it is still a very good game which I continue to think about months after finishing.

    It breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting. While there were a few genuinely good moments, majority of game filled up with plot holes. It just took elements of what worked for the first game without understanding what made them compelling. It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basicIt breaks my heart to write this, but I really did not expect such a poor story after all these years of waiting.

It seems like this game was done by other studio, but its not!!. The basic gameplay has stayed the same (for better or worse), environment puzzles are almost gone. So remove story from the table and you are left with the shallow gameplay that will have you looking for some other game. Collapse

    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]
