    For me Is the BEST GAME IN THE WORLD. One of the reason that i love this game is because they put you in the shoes of Elli and Aby and you know what happened in they lifes you know what they come through.

    Has to be the most amazing story-oriented game ever played. Loved every aspect : graphics, story telling, gameplay, characters, raw action.
    Never invested myself so much in a video game.
    Kudos to Naughty Dog to top the already much loved prequel.

    Do I love this game? Yes.
    Did it ruin my day multiple times? Yes.
    First of all, sound design, details and graphics are just perfect. This is easily one of the most brutally beautiful, realistic and depressing game I´ve ever played. It tears you down and makes you feel horrible on purpose. As long as you can go in without any prejudice and immerse yourself, this will blow you away.    Do I love this game? Yes.

    This game was a masterpiece. Just because it didn't narratively go in the direction you wanted will not change that fact. I went into it having adored the previous installation, but maintaining an open mind. I was not disappointed by the pacing, depth, and use of the characters. Long story short, don't get triggered bc your favorite polygonal character died :(

The other parts of this game are the gameplay and amazing graphics which are industry leading so there is nothing to say other than it is the best the industry has to give but some people might think the games limited weapons make it seem repetitive but with new enemy types and weapon modifications and progressive weapon gaining it is far from it. 10/10 this games user score got bombed by people who never played the game and thought "everyone is giving it a 0 so why not"… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Was really hesitant to play this game after I saw user reviews. Since it was on sale few weeks ago decided that it is worth the money and tried it out on PS5.
    So in a sense would way that this game is not a 5.7 as users describe it. Also it is not a 93 as metacritic describes it. I gave it a 7 which is right in the middle of both.
    Best part of this game is visuals. It is pin point to a smallest detail and I loved it, a breath taking display. Also "Naughty Dog" introduced a lot of configuration which should become standard in every game. Kudos to the team under technical stuff and designers. A fantastic job.
    Now to a part that makes it 7. A story. It was a disrespect to a first game. It was full of plot holes and uncharacteristic decisions by Ellie, Tommy and Joel. Also what does a pregnant woman do in a battle field? It does not show that she is independent or strong. It just shows that she is stupid and does not care for a child. With all things a side, the story would have been acceptable if it was not for the last chapter which destroyed Ellie and Tommy as a characters. Speaking about Abby. She is not that bad. Not great and not terrible as well. Not much to say more...
    To sum up, if it was a spin off, it would be 8-9 as a game, now it is 6-7 due to poorly written character story lines.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. If this was a movie, in my opinion it would be Oscar deserving. But this is not just a movie, here you are not just watching the protagonists doing good and horrible deeds, YOU are.
    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love. Unfortunately not everyone fells good whenever a medium tries (and    This game is a masterpiece. If this was a movie, in my opinion it would be Oscar deserving.

    The plot is deep and is a journey into the player ability to experience empathy, pain, grief, anger, love. Unfortunately not everyone fells good whenever a medium tries (and manages) to challenge their most deep feelings, as you can see from the number of negative review (5.7 is ridiculous). An interestingly high number of this negative reviews are partisan stances against the "politically correct storyline", I imagine because it features strong women with normal-sized breasts and diverse sexual orientations. You know, like in the real world.
    Circling back to the game, everything is outstanding: the graphics, the sound design, the level design. The acting is amazing and really drives the story (both motion capture acting scenes and the voice over). The music is great as in Part I.
    But the overall attention to details is in my opinion what keep everything together, what makes this game a work of art.

    The downside is that I'm sure it will be difficult to find another game to enjoy as much as I enjoyed The Last of Us Part II. I believe it ruined videogames for me, in some wonderful way. But I'm also sure that this game will push the boundary even further, and I can't wait for that.

    In the meantime, give yourself a favour: play The Last of Us and then The Last of Us Part II. If during the game your feeling will hurt it means that it's working, and that you do have feelings: it's good to exercise them, it helps you to grow into a more complete version of yourself.    … Expand

    Das Spiel wird von vielen ja gehasst, weil sie mit dem Weg den die Story schon ganz am Anfang geht nicht klar kommen, aus Spoilern Gründen möchte ich dazu nichts sagen, es sei aber so viel gesagt, es ist schon gleich in der 1. Stunde des Spiels ein absoluter Herzzerreißender Twist, den ich nicht kommen habe sehen und den ich persönlich sehr gut gelungen fand und das geht die nächsten Stunden genauso weiter, jede weitere Stunde, die man Allys Rachefeldzug spielt denkt man immer weiter nach, ob das hier überhaupt sein muss und ich habe mich immer wieder mit dem Gedanken erwischt, ob Ally wirklich die Heldin in diesem Spiel sei, ich mir aber auch immer eingeredet habe, das das wohl noch in Ordnung sei, bios das Spiel am ende nochmal eine Kehrtwende macht, auch darüber möchte ich nicht viel verraten, aber jeder Schritt den du danach gehst wird dir von den Entwicklern aufgezwungen, du bis nur noch Zuschauer, eines Erlebnisses das du nicht mitansehen möchtest, einem Erlebnis das du nicht erleben möchtest und das soll nicht heißen, das dass Spiel plötzlich schlecht würde, im Gegenteil ab diesem Zeitpunkt kommt die größte Stärke des Spiels zum Vorschein, denn ab diesem Zeitpunkt ist Ally nicht mehr die Heldin und ihr könnt nicht mehr vertreten, was sie macht, aber ihr müsst es eben trotzdem machen, was wirklich zu sehr starken Momenten führt.

    Ich hoffe die Review war nicht zu verwirrend, ich habe versucht dieses grandiose Spielgefühl zu beschrieben, ohne das ich auch nur eine Sekunde der Story Spoilern muss, weil das einfach jeder Gamer selbst erleben sollte.
    Abschließend sei gesagt, dieses Spiel ist ein absolutes Meisterwerk und gehört in jedes Gaming Regal, egal ob virtuell, oder physisch und zu den 66.000 Menschen, die dieses Spiel schlecht bewertet haben, sei nur gesagt: entweder ihr habt einfach keine Ahnung, oder ihr habt tatsächlich eines der besten Spiele aller Zeiten nur wegen eines Story Strangs, den ihr als Entwickler vielleicht nicht gewählt hätte tot zu haben.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jamás entenderé el hate que tiene este juego por la historia. Naugthy Dog nos pone en el papel de Ellie y Abby para que veamos ambos bandos, para que nos demos cuenta de que no hay nadie bueno, que las venganzas de Abby y Ellie solo han traido desgracias, de que las acciones de Joel en el TLOU1 tienen muchas consecuencias, de que la muerte de Joel es dramática que es lo que necesita la historia, no hace falta que sea heroica.
    La historia de Abby con Lev en este juego es muy parecida a la de Joel con Ellie en el 1, matando gente de su propio clan para salvar a esa persona.
    En el final del juego, en la batalla final, Ellie deja escapar a Abby porque se da cuenta de que no va a solucionar nada de hecho lo ha empeorado todo, cuando vuelve a la granja y Dina no esta y ni siquiera puede recordad a Joel porque ya no puede tocar la guitarrra por la perdida de sus dedos.
    En lo narrativo es espectacular, otra cosa es que te de pena como acaba la historia de los personajes pero que te entristezca o te de rabia no significa que sea malo, sino todo lo contrario.

    En cuanto a jugabilidad es prácticamente igual que el 1, con ciertas mejoras, el modo sigilo si me hubiese gustado que hubiesen implementado mas cosas.
    En gráficos y sonido es brillante el juego.
    La Ia me parece muy buena y un acierto el sentimiento de rabia o tristeza cada vez que uno de esos npcs que matas es encontrado por otro compañero, porque buscas venganza por lo de Joel pero para esa gente el que has matado podria ser un Joel para ellos y te das cuenta que utilizando la venganza estas cometiendo las mismas maldades que ellos han hecho antes y Joel hizo anteriormente tambien.
    En definitiva, no entiendo las notas negativas por la narrativa, son de gente que no lo han entendido o son demasiado fanboys del 1 o de Joel como para darse cuenta de la obra maestra que tienen delante.

    Chapo Naugthy Dog, pero tambien decir que si haces un juego con la historia que me has contado en esta segunda parte, con el mensaje que quiere transmitir de la crueldad que hay en cada muerte de todos los personajes que haces, no puedes hacer un juego donde el prota se cargue cientos de npcs sin remordimientos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 tells a dark, brutal story about the parallel and ultimately converging paths of two young women discovering the consequences of letting revenge consume them. Players are immersed through gorgeously rendered cutscenes with brilliant cinematography and satisfying, varied gameplay greatly improved from that of TLOU1.

    We begin in the perspective of Ellie, now a young adult. Her relationship with Joel is strained, and we learn why through emotional cutscenes and flashback gameplay as she’s forced to uncover the truth and consequences of Joel’s actions in TLOU1. We see how Joel was changed by his love and admiration for Ellie, transforming from a hollow shell into a protective parent who regains hope and purpose. We glimpse their lives in the community of Jackson, where trust and compassion rather than force and brutality are the prevailing rules. These factors ultimately explain the events leading to the violent killing of Joel, viewed in excruciatingly impactful detail by both Ellie and the player.

    This is juxtaposed with the history and experiences of main antagonist Abby, who due to Joel’s choices became traumatised her intimate knowledge of her father’s murder and the robbery of humanity’s only known hope for a cure. In an unexpected twist, the second half of the game is played from Abby’s perspective, during which she is greatly humanized, and the full impact of Ellie’s vengeful actions is realized. Abby’s growth is demonstrated as she struggles to move beyond her dark past. A tragic and terrifying story of revenge and redemption is thus told, with both women ultimately losing everything and everyone that mattered to them.

    The arc concludes in a heart-breaking fight to the death between these two emotionally and physically broken characters that we’ve come to understand and care for. At last, Ellie’s memory of her last conversation with Joel – one exemplifying forgiveness – coupled with the realisations that she’s killing the very thing that made her someone Joel cherished, and that Abby is needed just like Joel was, gives her the perspective necessary to begin letting go.

    A first of its kind, the storytelling of TLOU2 allows the player to experience and then later confront and condemn their own justifications for Ellie’s revenge mission. The player first shares her feelings and motivations, then through Abby is made to feel the devastating impact of Ellie and Joel's choices. PTSD and the lingering effects of trauma are accurately and respectfully depicted through intense scenes brimming with emotion and imagery. The characters feel unique and real, with their evolving personalities and decisions justified by their histories, relationships, and experiences – comprising love, fear, fury, regret, and more. The narrative of TLOU2 is one of the most well-written and memorable stories of our time, proving that writing for games needn’t be shallow, predictable or tropey.

    Whether it’s ruined buildings overrun by infected, overgrown cities patrolled by hostile humans, or settlements where people are attempting to survive and rebuild, TLOU2’s environments always impress. These highly realistic settings are packed with detail, and it's clear that those tasked with designing and modelling them carefully studied and replicated real-life examples. No two areas feel quite alike and there’s a lack of noticeable asset repetition. Each area has its secrets - everything from vital crafting materials, to books which unlock new and powerful skill paths, to letters and other grim discoveries which together paint a poignant picture of the savage world of TLOU.

    The pacing of the game’s tension is brilliant and delightfully unpredictable. The player is rewarded for being cautious and attentive, thereby producing appropriate trepidation when approaching an unfamiliar location. Exploration is dynamic, with a mixture of peaceful areas, those which appear peaceful until something triggers, scenarios encouraging stealth, and sections of high intensity where the player constantly flirts with death. Enemy AI is smarter than ever and the sequel boasts several new enemy types, resulting in challenging encounters. Resource availability on Survivor difficulty feels ‘just right’, with success requiring thorough exploration and careful management of combat and crafting.

    The stellar story and environments are complemented by top-quality voice acting and animation, emotive music and immersive sound design, appropriate game length, and extensive accessibility settings. The game’s cast also features LGBTQ and racially diverse characters with appropriate depth and realism rather than as a token set dressing.

    TLOU2 is undisputedly my favourite game, having left a lasting impression on me, and represents a quality standard for future game developers to aspire to. Paired with its predecessor, the series offers a journey that everyone should experience.    … Expand

    The game-story destroys the characters from Part 1 and forces you to play as a character you don't want to play (because it is the antagonist who is hated for killing a character you already have a relationship to). As a player you get a bad feeling while playing it. Sadly. Part 1 was great. It had a better story writer.

    It was the best game I played in my life, instead of writing an optimistic story like other companies, they wrote a story in a fearless way and adapted it to the game in the best possible way. It was a top game in every way, thanks to Naughty Dog for this unique adventure.

They retconned her reaction to the ending of the first game and dumbed her down and made her incredibly wreckless and inflicted untold misery on her for the sake of trying to put a new character on a pedestal. I had no problem with Ellie been a lesbian it was everything else the writers did to a character I grew to adore from the first game that prevented me from enjoying the game and made have to grit my teeth to finish it out.

To me, these arrangements for characters' death are too forced, not fit with logic and common sense, which sounds more like in the storyteller's stubborn wills and on purpose. It might be better if there are more reasonable details and explanations of why this character dies, why that character survived or why the character didn't choose to kill.

    The game's fantastic in every aspect if we ignore its a few flaws on the plot. it's really a good job.

    Some mad players gave a 0 review, admitting its stunning graphics, amazing scenery and better gameplay than the first, but only for its so so storytelling, denying its all just on this one point... which I think unfair. Tlou2 can't be a 0 reviewed game, and it should be above the average. So I give it a 8 just as IGN Japan did.    … Expand

    It actually made me feel things, the game got me so engaged I ended up crying at the end.

    The cons:
    The story doesnt match the gameplay, this is actually a big one, replaying both the first and the second its obvious the first has a more straight-forward more linear more conventional story. Almost like a western, and the gory dark gameplay matches it perfectly, the second game though, it does has more obvious problems matching the constant killing with a revenge-story pointed at a single characher that ends in a sort of redemption story, even thoung both Abby and Ellie becomes mass murderers in the process

    I still give it a 9 bc its so extremely ambitious and it actually made me feel things no other game has made me feel, it was one of the closest things to experiencing great art I have experienced playing games.    … Expand

    The Last of Us 2 ist ein tolles Spiel. Meine Erklärung dazu ist, das in diesem Spiel sachen passieren die nicht jedem gefallen werden, aber notwendig sind um die Story des ersten Teils weiter zuentwicklen. Auch viele sachen die man im Spiel gemacht hat kommen zwar bei vielen nicht gut an, aber sie sind trotz dem gut gewählt um abwechslung in das Spiel ineinzubringen.

    The Last of Us - Part: II is a gorgeous game, make no mistake about that. It is also a prime example of flavor that overpowers function. At some point during its development, its ambitious ideas became an insurmountable obstacle for its own success and it sadly brought down the experience provided by the first title.

    The concept here was "The never-ending cycle of violence" (these are    The Last of Us - Part: II is a gorgeous game, make no mistake about that. It is also a prime example of flavor that overpowers function. At some point during its development, its ambitious ideas became an insurmountable obstacle for its own success and it sadly brought down the experience provided by the first title.

    The concept here was "The never-ending cycle of violence" (these are the author's words not mine). This adventure carefully constructs and delivers upon that idea while forgetting this is a videogame.

    Interactivity, you see, is a boon and a curse. Audiences can be taught important lessons through media and art. But they're not supposed to feel patronized for decisions that are being made for them. By restricting the player's actions, pacing, and choices at critical moments (which I won't spoil) the suspension of disbelief is shattered and we just follow this dramatic narrative that often undermines its own ideas.

    It is difficult to justify any other criticisms regarding its story or pace without spoiling interested players, so I prefer to leave it at that. What's crucial here is realizing that games of this nature derive most if not all of their value in the strength and delivery of their narratives. So a failure here means catastrophe for such a piece.

    There are simply better, more engaging, and interesting shooters, survival horror games, and even zombie revenge stories out there.

    The presentation is superb, in every sense of the word. From audio engineering to accessibility options, the full playthrough is a sight-to-behold that even if impressive, never quite subverts expectations in a breath-taking way.

    The gameplay is basically an expanded and refined version of what was on offer before. More enemy variety, verticality and challenge better the experience. Pacing for these more "action-focused" sections is a bit worse though.

    The Last of Us - Part: II will always serve as an example of how not to take advantage of a medium to tell a story but it is otherwise an amazing looking game with gameplay refinements over a well-received first entry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us Part II is just perfect.
    Apart from great animations, character interactions, graphics, the game drags you through a realistic, crude world where pity is non existent. Personally, I think reality would not be far from this.
    Naughty dog slapped us in the face repeatedly during the story, and never in a kind way. Every loved character death (starting with the first, the most important) contributed to build up Ellie's character, and it's even more poignant when we see the final cut scene.
    The search for revenge, rage driven vendetta that consumes both the protagonists more and more during the story makes us see how their stories are just parallel lines.
    There is no right or wrong part: Joel, Ellie and Abby have light and dark aspects in their motivations, and that's what i loved the most.
    To me, the conclusion could not be anything else than what it is. Ellie, finally interrupting the circle of violence that Joel started in the first part. And finally, letting him go. I just loved it, a depressing, realistic
    masterpiece that make some bold plot decisions but works them all out in the end.
    Personally i see no use in the critiques to Joel's early death, yes it hurt, but it was necessary.
    About the critiques to Abby's appearance... I have no words for the ignorance of some people. If you want to play a game just to see hot chicks, play something else because this is not it. Also, her physique is not "on steroids". Women can be buff, especially contextualized to her role where she obviously trains a lot.
    And about the critique on Lev's character, I find them so stupid too. Making him a trans character doesn't ruin anything and if you have a problem with it for the simple reason he's part of LBGT then maybe you should try and be less of an ****
    If I have to find a flaw in the game I'd say that some parts of the game were a little bit tedious, but nothing that can make my opinion change.    … 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.
