    I don´t know why everyone is hating this game. Is a masterpiece, people that put 0 in a review without have played the game. Really? Even the worst game doesn't deserve it. Please if you read this just play it and enjoy it.

    Environments and Setting 10/10 - Just perfect, everything is so well done, every section seems differnt and worthwile, made the exploration feel so fluid

    Graphics and Lighting 10/10 - Simply the best I've ever seen in videogames, EVER

    Soundtrack and Audio 10/10 - Just like the first game, it is absolutely perfect, it adds so much to every moment, weahter it's combat, a cutscene, or just exploration, it always brings so much life into the game. Bravo Gustavo, once again.

    Acting 10/10 - It wasn't because of the actors that the story failed, they were just perfect, especially (obviously) Ashley, but Laura Bailey did an amazing job as always

    Narrative 5/10 - First 15 hours were amazing, the 10 hours that followed were a complete mess, I found myself rushing towards the end cause I couldn't give a **** about the story they were trying to tell us.

    (Ending 9/10) - I just simply loved it. I cried so much at the final scene. If it wasn't for the poor execution on the second part of the game, this would be a 10, and the story could easily be 8 or 9. But it isn´t

    Final Thoughts: Although the narrative has issues in its pacing and decisions, this was still one of the best experiences I had with a videogame in a long time (probably since part 1). And even tho the story isn't as good as the first one, the overall experience was worth every second. You just don't find this kindof quality in games often, so you should apreciate Naughty Dog for still investing in these games with engaging and emotive narrative, combining it with oustanding visuals and gameplay

    I want to give it a 9 for all that it did well, but because the story is so important in these kind of games, I can't rate it higher than 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dont trust the negative reviews,the narrative of this game is good,little kids are mad about Joels Death and how did this happened.Haters of this game is saying that Joel will not tell to those guys his name-First of all when Joel came to them Abby already know that it is killer of her father,cause while Tommy and Joel where resqueing Abby,Tommy said to Abby that his name is Tommy and it is my brother Joel,and thats it Abby is already know that is Joel.Second-Why did he told his name to the company of unknown people-Cause theve saved his life and after 5 year pause of crimes and violence.Ok lets talk about the plot,in opnion it is Narrative Masterpice,all chacters are like live persons with own psyche and motivations,the game is divided into a two strory lines Ellies story line and Abbys story line,and what can i say,Ellies Story line is like Uncharted 4 Ellie sacrifice all her for friends for revenge like Nathan Drake sacrifices everything for a treasure,and Abbys story line is like a Last of Us Part 1 Abby meet two strangers they resqued het and she resqued them,but after the night with Owen she sees a dream where she sees them died,and she decides to help them,and in the end of abbys soryline comes best level of the game Seraphites Island,and when WLF soliders comes to an island and begin a war with seraphits the island turns into mess and chaotic place,so i love this level.After Abbys storyline she finds Owen dead with Mel and she want to kill the killers of her friends she find out the theater and revenge Ellie for her friends.And waht can i say about ending Ellie coming to Santa Barbara to stop Flashbacks Where Joel always dies ( Read for text book while u are in Santa Barbara and ull understand what im taking about) and when Ellie overcome Abby and nearly kill Abby she sees Joel alive playing on his guitar and she understands that revenge is ended and she wins,but ull ask to me why didnt she kill Abby because she dont to became a monster that killed mother(Abby) in front of daughter (Lev).And when Ellie sees last flashback with Joel one day before his death where she forgives him for accident in the Salt Lake City Fireflies Hospital and we see that Joel is happy for his forgivnes and after it we see that Joel will be not forgotten.
    Gameplay is super interesting and action elements are breathtaking,weapon customization,stels elements and character animation is perfect.It is a good exapmle of perfect Gameplay.
    Graphics is perfect i think dont need to say anything.
    Level Desing is super cool,a lot of covers and safe rooms where u can rest a bit after battle and u can also collect some resurses on level and craft some cool stuff while u are in battle.    … Expand

Couse think about it, if u where born in an apocalyptic infected world, killing people would be basic so she doesn't feel anything when killing. And she doesn't feel couse shes used to it in that **** up world. The story is very good and poetic in my opinion, I hope more people like the game and story couse its extremely good and realistic, if the real world would be like the last of us (infected and survival of the fittest) well you would kill because of your survival instinct and you wouldn't think about it cause it would be life or death .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра получилась очень захватывающей и длинной. Как раз один из минусов ее искусственная "затянутость", но это компенсируется геймплеем и боевыми сценами. Если первая часть была добротным фильмом, то вторая часть скорее сериал из 10 серий, 2-3 серии можно было бы удалить.

    НИЖЕ СПОЙЛЕРЫ!!!!

    Многие упрекают ее в уничтожении главного героя, но пройдя полностью для меня это не было огромной потерей. Как раз игра задает настрой и атмосферу, в этот раз она разрушительная и гнетущая. После прохождения наступает опустошение эмоциональное, т.к. на протяжении всей игры сильно привязываешься и к Элли и на удивление к Эбби. Нападки в сторону сюжетных поступков компенсируются внимательным прохождением.

    "Джоэл глупо подставил себя ..."
    Живя в защищенной местности и периодически встречая небольшие группы они с Томми приглашали в Джексон путешественников. Т.к. понимали что голодные, уставшие чужаки вряд ли откажутся от крова и еды.

    "Эбби ну прям мега нереальная ..."
    Её руководило только чувство мести, все навыки и форму, которую она приобретала в WFL, нужны были ради одного... Отмщения за любимого отца. Она была одержима и затем опустошена, после совершенной мести. С WFL ее уже ничто не связывало, после совершенного поступка и она искала новый смысл существования. Защита Лева, отношения с Оуэном как раз были зацепками к ее новой жизни.

    Претензии к навязыванию тем ЛГБТ или прочим штукам тоже необоснованны. В игре не показывают какие-то преимущества или доказывают "повестку", все в мире ТЛОУ2 страдают одинаково. Игра моментами через чур жестока и порой в Элли видишь безумие. Это наводит на мысли кто же в истории истинный злодей и есть ли они вообще в этой части...    … Expand

    My first game was Pitfall. Or Megamania. Attari console. Circa 1982 or 83. Since then I've played most of the best games, the "game changers" and the ones that created a new quality benchmark. The Last of Us II is the only one that made me cry. Congratulations to its developers. It's a delicate piece of art.

    The low ratings are really unfair, I but most haven’t even touched the game. I’m about 10 hours in right now and the story thusfar is amazing and so is the gameplay. But i’m of the opinion that we shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover so a rating of someone whom has played an hour of the game isn’t really fair is it?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely perfect, from the beginning to the ending.
    When Joel died I felt something I've never felt, or hardly ever, while playing a videogame: I was crying, my legs were shaking and my voice was broken, I felt angry, sad and I just couldn't believe that Joel was dead, in fact the first thing I've sad after that was:"It's not true, Joel's not dead, he's in very bad shape and all that stuff but he'll be fine in some time. They didn't kill Joel".
    Then I saw the tombstone with his name on it and I cried even more, then I rried to cheer me up saying that he would be with Sarah now, but that hurted a lot and it wasn't helpful.
    So I kept playing the game with one desire: avenge Joel's death and kill Abby.
    Then I arrived at the point when you start to play as Abby, at the beginning I was really pissed off, but during that 8/9 hours while playing as Abby I realised why she has done that and the fact that she kinda regret what she has done because, in the end, she had lost everything, even her closest friend and I started to emphatize with her, in fact when Abby and Ellie fought for the first time I started to think that I'd preferred the Abby's death 'cause in the end during the first game I really loved both Joel and Ellie, so I was still in love, if I can say so, with her.
    Then the fight ended and neither of them died and I was kinda happy but then the epilogue arrived and they fought for the second time and, for the second time in a row, no one has won but because Ellie understand, thanks to an old memory of Joel, that, if she had killed Abby, she would have lost her humanity, and that was memory was painful but awesome at the same time.
    I might have not explained it well but it felt like that was the perfect endng because, thanks to the last memory of Joel and Ellie, you understand that Ellie, at the beginning at least, wanted to kill Abby to avenge Joel but then you realise that the only person she was hating and blaming was herself 'cause she was unable to forgive Joel for what he has done at the Fireflies' Saint Mary's Hospital (the end of The Last of Us) before his own death and that was so powerful that I cried again, it was **** perfect.
    Also I wanted to spend a few word about the techniical assets: the graphic's excellent, the gameplay is a simply evolution of the first game gameplay with some new features and the all options that Naught Dog has put into the game to help the people who have some disabilities or wanna play the game with some help are very useful, so well done Naughty Dog.
    Also what has happened with the review bombing it's very sad because if you look at this title objectively, this game deserves, at least, 7 even if you don't like the story 'cause the gameplay, the animations, the all accessibility options and the graphics are all **** amazing, and this game is the top of of the generation (and please don't say things like:"Cyberpunk 2077 will look amazing, and even better than TLOUPART2" because it's not true, and you know it. It'll look amazing and we all know that, but it's an free-roaming open world RPG so it can't have as many details as The Last of Us Part II has, it's impossible for this generationat least, we'll see what's gonna happen with the Next Gen in the next few months).    … Expand

The user score system here is extremely flawed. Many give it 0/10s and 10/10s without even playing the game. The lengths at which people will go to attack/defend something is extreme.

    I personally enjoyed this game a lot, but I will admit that it falls short on some of the things that the first game established. To balance this, it also introduces some nice things. I enjoyed the story, but I will admit that it isn't as good as the first. They contain drastically different tones, and introduce new characters that stray away from Joel and Ellie. If you want to dive deeper into this game's story, you first have to accept Abby as a character, and understand that it doesn't just revolve around J&E. I would actually say that both TLOU and TLOU2 are cliche in their stories, but one is heartwarming while the other is brutal. It's mostly down to personal preference, but we can't deny that there are some flaws within the writing. Many of the characters serve as an extension to the plot, when instead, it could work better the other way around. Some of them also don't get enough screentime to truly bond with them. The pacing is also a little off sometimes, with sudden cuts and changes in perspective.

    But one thing I genuinely loved about this game is that it isn't scared of killing/harming people. They die quick. They die suddenly. Some are for shock factor, but they do leave you feeling a little empty. You could say that this "revenge is bad" plot is average and cliche, but many wanted also wanted a simple revenge story, which is JUST as cliche. The characters aren't all pure good and bad, instead, they fall into a gray zone. The game emphasizes this with both the protagonists and antagonists. While I don't believe that this story reaches the top like TLOU did, it still does a good job in delivering its message with a good amount of likeable characters.

    The gameplay is similar to TLOU, but does some improvements. The UI in specific is still very simple while giving you more information. Players are now able to jump and go prone, adding a little bit of platforming to the experience. The UI is smarter now and is able to get good cover, rush towards you, and are able to locate you when you're discovered. They're a good challenge. Still, the gameplay loop is extremely intense, enjoyable, and plays great.

    However, there are still some flaws with it. The supplements system has now turned into a branch system, and covers different aspects of gameplay. My problem with this system is that it sometimes forces you to waste supplements on power-ups that you don't want, and a couple of these upgrades feel almost useless. Still, with enough progress and spending, you can get some solid upgrades.

    Weapon modification returns, and it's awesome in this game. The character does unique animations for each gun when you upgrade them. The guns in general feel very powerful, and each weapon covers a dinstinct role. They're all unique in their own ways.

    Presentation, as with any ND game, is top-notch. The graphics are some, if not THE best I've seen on the PS4. Foliage is extremely dense, the lighting is strong and can emit a certain feeling perfectly, and the animations and voice acting are amazing. In fact, foliage serves two functions: It is both a presentation tool, but also a gameplay one, as it allows you to hide from enemies quickly.

    This game isn't a 10/10. It also isn't a 0/10. It's extremely controversial, but it's something you should definitely give a try at one point in your life. You might come out with dread. Or, you might come out with happiness, like I did.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What Naughty Dog has done with this game is nothing short of incredible whether you like it or not.

    Personally I am more on the "like" side. When I finished Part 1 I was left with questions and concerns just like many others. I think part of the reason why I really like Part 2 is because it addresses those concerns. Of course the game is not without it's flaws but what it does do it does masterfully in gameplay and sometimes in story.

    This game has actual consequences for character actions. The tone of the Last of Us as a series is gritty, it's real, it's dark. It's not like Uncharted. Nathan Drake is less likely to be faced with the consequences of killing a random soldier because that's not the tone of Uncharted. The Last of Us Part 2 made the end of Part 1 actually mean something, it actually held weight. The game puts you in so many uncomfortable situations on purpose. It makes you play as a character who brutally murdered one of the main characters, how is that not bold? I actually ended up liking Abby as a character through paying attention and having an open mind. The game is not about heroes and villains. Joel is not a hero. He's done bad **** We know this, it's inexcusable. The same goes for Abby. It's not cut and dry, not black and white, that's not the point. The game is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable for playing as Abby. And I did until I learned that her father was THAT doctor. Then I completely understood her motivations, doesn't mean she's right, but doesn't mean Ellie was either. If Ellie is "justified" in revenge for what happened to Joel then so is Abby for what happened to her father. It's not a new theme, it's the cycle of violence that leads to hatred. Even the sub narratives present worked well for characters. Yes of course it's convenient there's a trans side-character used for greater representation in the game but there's nothing wrong with that. He ended up becoming one of my favourite characters in the game because of how endearing he became through the gameplay sections.

    Having an open mind led me to even feeling bad for Abby by the end. The plot holes themselves are even minor. Ellie can kill a random npc aiming a gun at her but this isn't a random npc, this is someone she's chased down twice, and twice Ellie was spared by Abby. So by the end when she realized her PTSD doesn't just have to be Joel's bloodied face but instead his smile with a guitar she allows Abby to save Lev, knowing that she's bit she will die anyway. The way it deals with another beloved character having PTSD, the way at the end you as a player feel so empty, Ellie's house is also empty.

    This game is dark, it's brutal it's unforgiving but the way it was told and presented I actually loved. I loved how flashbacks are weaved in to make you feel more emotional post-Joel's death. But although that is the game does come with pacing issues. It's like Naughty Dog heard all the criticism about it's former games lack of gameplay and they said "ok how about this" and they turned it up to 11. This is ND's most ambitious game gameplay wise. Almost every encounter felt amazing even though some areas went on for too long. The game itself goes in incredible places, the updated mechanics make the gameplay feel so much better than the first game. The approach to difference situations are so much more flexible, reminding me of MGSV. Some areas can be so wide and sprawling, I greatly enjoyed exploring them for collectibles and resources. On Hard mode the combat felt somewhat balanced, depending on how i chose to fight i either ended up with too little ammo for the subsequent encounter or just enough. The game does not let up, and sometimes to a fault. Many times I thought the game would finally be over and end but it kept going. Even this new end area and enemies were really well thought out but because of the poor pacing it ended up feeling rushed.

    The scares in this game as so well thought out and unique. Just like the level design. The level and game design in this game is astounding, story completely aside. The way you make your way through the overgrown ruins of Seattle feels like it doesn't miss a beat, again to a fault. The skyscraper, the village, the aquarium, the theater, so many excellently designed areas that are used so well. So many "oh **** moments. Like the sniper part, a nice nod to the sniper section in the first game at first, you can't see who the sniper is but they're good. Eventually you start to hate them because they're so hard to kill. Until the end of the section when you realize who they are it because nothing short of an incredible moment.
    Graphics and accessibility options are also top tier. Naughty Dog once again proves it is the king of cinematic storytelling and environmental design. Love it or hate it, TLOU2 is one of the most bold and audacious games ever created.    … Expand

    Most reviews are just blatantly hating the game without playing the game to the very end.
    1) Death of the main character is too brutal and should have been handled in a different way and since it is in the early hours of the game, player feels no motivation to go forward but that is exactly what the developers want you to feel at that point.
    2) Pacing of the game doesn't feel right, the way it puts the player in flashback scenes and then brings the player to the present its all too confusing.
    3) Length of the game feels like a stretch if you explore and collect all the collectables.
    4) Game is more than twice as big as its predecessor in terms of open landscape, explorable area.
    5) Game Trailers give a false impression to the player that the story is about Joel and Ellie but these two characters aren’t the main focus of the story which isn’t a bad thing. This story is about how the actions of Joel and Ellie affect the world around them.
    6)Due to the way certain scenes are placed throughout the game, after few hours of the game when I assumed the control of Abby, I didn’t want to play anymore but gradually as I was progressing, I grew closer to Abby even though what she did at the beginning was too dark.
    7)Abby’s section in the game is the main focus and is around 10 to 15 hours. Abby is not a villain in this game, she is just trying to survive and protect the ones she loves. The later half of the game paints this very nicely.
    8)The game forces the player to experience the pain and discomfort by using excellent visual and sound effects. There are so many beautiful scenes in the game that I kept taking in-game screenshots.
    9)The only things that helped me keep going forward after our hero’s death were the gameplay, graphics, music, cinematics fluid combat and the rope and dodge mechanics. Sound effects are so good, at the work bench upgrading the weapons feels like you are right there.
    10)At the very end no person in his/her rightful mind would want the revenge that the player was promised at the beginning. I personally didn’t want either of them (Abby or Ellie) to die. No way it deserves the review bombing it is getting.

No game is perfect, not even the first one but the attention to detail in this series never ceases to amaze me. You could even use some of these skills in real life if say a zombie apocalypse was to happen. There are a lot of valuable lessons in this one, following the story of the first one. You can't take anything for granted when it comes to the story, without disclosing too much, it really has many layers in it's plot, many of which will catch you off guard if you care about the characters. I get it, a lot of tlou 1 fans think the story is ruined but I say it does way better than a lot of sequels out there and not only continues the story but ads an entire rich layer of depth to it's characters. The outcome of the story was not expected from me, I had certain theories that I was sure were facts while playing, and it turned out to be something completely different. I say if you are a fan of the first one, or a fan of insane dramatic action-rpgs, this is a must for you. It's brilliant in many aspects. I think all the negative feedback for this game is not really warranted and emotive based/ irrational. Ironically, somewhat cult like (reference to some of this games themes). It's true this game was nothing even close to what I was expecting but that made it the much more thrilling for me. I had no idea what was coming around the corner, figuratively and literally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ♫"If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself..."♫

    Upon completing this game, I am left heartbroken. I watched a character that I've loved for years lose herself because she lost someone she cared about, and who cared about her. Its a difficult experience to see Ellie make decisions that leave her lost and alone, and it is by no means 'fun' to see her throw away everything only to be torn further from Joel, and let his killer live.

    But to call the story 'bad' because you think Ellie should have fulfilled her revenge is completely missing the point ND was trying to make. I think one's enjoyment of this story depends on whether the game is able to make you empathize with Abby, and even root for her. For me, ND accomplished this. In the beginning, I hated Abby and wanted to see her meet the consequences of her choice to seek out and murder Joel. But by the end, during the fight on the beach, I wanted her to live. Abby is cold and hardened, scarred by the loss of the person she cared about more than anything, and struggling to find her purpose in the world. Through our time playing as her, we see her begin to regain some of that humanity, through her conviction to protect a young child and bring them to safety. If this sounds familiar, its because her arc is very similar to Joel's in the first game. By the end of The Last of Us, Joel had done some monstrous things and killed many innocent people, but we still loved him. Abby is no worse than Joel, and though she never fully redeems herself in my eyes for what she did, I still understand her motivations and hope that she and Lev find the safe haven they are looking for.

    This game shows that the cycle of violence is dangerous to become swept up in. Started by Joel, passed to Abby, then to Ellie, this cycle of killing caused both Ellie and Abby to lose themselves, and many people they cared about. This game caused me to care equally for the two of them, and made me deeply anxious during their two fights. I understood what was driving Ellie to kill Abby, but I didn't want her to do it. In the end, Ellie thinks of her last interaction with Joel, where she decides to try to forgive him for what he did to the Fireflies to save her, and decides to break the cycle of violence and allow Abby to escape. I think she made the right choice in the end. Killing Abby would not have given Ellie any closure, as she had already lost everything in her pursuit to that end. She could have had a peaceful life with Dina, but she threw it away and paid the price.

    Even though this game had a deeply depressing ending, I am in no way disappointed with it. They had a story to tell, and however bleak it was, I think they told it well. I was moved in a way few games have been able to move me, and I mourn the death of Joel, and I feel sorry for what Ellie has become. The fact that ND makes me feel that way is not the sign of a bad game, but the hallmark of a truly special title, one that, just as the Last of Us 1 did, makes you care about its characters above all else.    … Expand

The gameplay was incredible and I am amazed at how much more depth is added with only a dodge, prone, and jump mechanic added to the combat. The set pieces were some of Naughty Dogs finest and each new encounter in a LENGTHY game always felt fresh. On a side note: All these 0’s came from before it was even physically possible to complete the game and they should be ignored. Do yourself a favor and PLAY this game.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game about consequences, trauma, revenge, redemption, emotions and love. And all of this is very well portrayed by the almost impeccable direction. Which makes sense as more than two thousand people worked on the last of us 2, but for that many people working on a game, personally it ended up becoming disappointing.

    Gameplay against humans is more difficult    The Last of Us Part 2 is a game about consequences, trauma, revenge, redemption, emotions and love. And all of this is very well portrayed by the almost impeccable direction. Which makes sense as more than two thousand people worked on the last of us 2, but for that many people working on a game, personally it ended up becoming disappointing.

    Gameplay against humans is more difficult mainly thanks to dogs, but to balance you have silenced weapons. And against zombies easier thanks to new weapons, plenty of resources and Ellie's pocket knife. The addition of a Boss fight was interesting. The skill tree is much more complex than that of the first game, but most of the improvements are totally superfluous. The real problems are the fact that it is basically the same gameplay as 7 years ago and it ends up becoming quite repetitive and tedious towards the end of the Abby part, because you need to explore "all over again", the combat gets repetitive, your equipment and improvements are basically reset. Melee combat has improved, now it's more skill and less luck (except against dogs).

    The level design remains great. Ellie's diary is a really bad addition, I never thought a diary would add so much depth to a character. The game is very linear 99% of the time but still has a lot of focus on exploration, there are those who like it and some who don't, personally I liked it.

    The narrative again is very simple, but the feelings generated, the consequences of these simple actions on people and their emotions are very complex. And unfortunately the story focuses a lot on the development and personal drama of certain characters and there is very little development in the relationships between them (which was the focus of the first game), it hurt the game too much. This script is much better than that of the first game, much more directions and unpredictable events (in the first game there were exactly 2 that surprised me). But even with more events, these events end up being small and do not change the course of history much. The story of the first game is more 'solid' than that of this one, the general coverage was greater, it is easier for people to like it. For example: in the story of this one if you don't like Abby, half the game becomes horrible (for me it even worked). So it ends up being very personal if you think this game is better than the first, mainly because its strengths are different.

    The problem with the way they "folded" the story was that the predictability of it would compromise on the other half, since the story was bound to happen in a certain way. In addition to the huge problem generated by you being totally immersed in Ellie's story and what will happen next, only you need to "reject" the same story to continue where you left off and when you get there you are no longer filled with hatred , grudge, thirst for revenge and full of the urgency of what will happen next. What could be a problem for many was the fact that the game humanized characters only after you killed them, so their deaths had no weight. Personally I didn't think it was so bad because I don't think they needed to have a narrative weight, the goal was to kill the characters out of anger at what happened to Joel, the problem was that their humanization for me was relatively useless, it wasn't bad or tedious, just unnecessary. You can argue that it served you to see the other side of the story and regret it, and it's all right. I also thought that Abby saving and caring so much about Lev and Yara was forced and the script knew it and ****

    I found it very interesting how certain characters simply die with a shot to the head and thanks, you have to keep surviving and fighting. But the problem with this is that the script seems to have completely forgotten that they existed after their deaths, there is no more mention of them. And there is the fact that the dead characters are very superficial and have a tiny focus during the story. Another problem was that the first half of the game is far superior to the second and it bothers you during the game. And for some reason the writer appeals to pregnant women too much to make you care about the characters.

    Joel's scene is very good but it happened too soon, it lost much of its impact. And this scene needed to be much more impactful, one way that I saw many talking about would be to put the flashbacks before his death would solve this. Maybe it would solve more I liked how all the flashbacks were embedded in the story (with the exception of the party flashback that Ellie kisses Dina, this one was too late for no reason and could have helped in the initial immersion of the game). I think they needed to have given more focus to Joel before he died, before the sequence of his death he doesn't even appear, if they had created some current everyday scenes of Ellie and Joel it would have been a lot better, but it looked like they wanted to rush right to it.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II

    Игра влетела с двух ног в моё сердце и останется там навсегда!!! Для меня это абсолютная игра поколения PS4 и глупо оценивать её по 10-ти бальной шкале. Вряд ли в ближайшее время у кого-то получится сделать настолько пробирающую на эмоции игру. Блин, тут понятие «игра» носит другой характер: в игры играют дети, а в эту... взрослые люди с уже состоявшимся мнением,    The Last Of Us Part II

    Игра влетела с двух ног в моё сердце и останется там навсегда!!! Для меня это абсолютная игра поколения PS4 и глупо оценивать её по 10-ти бальной шкале. Вряд ли в ближайшее время у кого-то получится сделать настолько пробирающую на эмоции игру. Блин, тут понятие «игра» носит другой характер: в игры играют дети, а в эту... взрослые люди с уже состоявшимся мнением, личным опытом и своими взглядами на жизнь в целом. Некоторые сцены, хотя нет, целые главы, настолько круто срежиссированы, что в какой-то момент мне пришла в голову мысль: «Хочу оказаться там, на её месте, и плевать, что вокруг разрушенный мир, а за каждым углом поджидает смертельная опасность»!
    Я полностью согласен со всеми поступками главных героев (игровых персонажей) и их спутников. Будь я на их месте, то поступил бы точно так же, не колеблясь ни секунды!

    Отдельно хочу сказать про звук: несколько раз брал приставку в студию и устраивал там ночные игровые сессии. Так вот, мои акустические системы позволяют выставить так называемую «референсную громкость». При её выставлении я ориентировался на человеческую речь: в настройках игры есть параметр «динамический диапазон» – естественно, в положении «максимальный». И вот когда я первый раз наткнулся на группу враждебных солдат, тут-то и открылись все прелести перестрелок в игре (которые и без этого шикарны)!

    – Выстрел из дробовика в заброшенном железном гараже отозвался жалящим звоном в ушах, чуть геймпад не выронил из рук, но времени на растерянность нет: теперь все противники знали моё местоположение.
    Поставив взрывную ловушку, я ринулся в ближайшие заросли и замер: противник уже в паре метров от меня, ещё один шаг и происходит взрыв!!!
    Опять звон в ушах, уже не только у меня, но и у моей героини!
    Ааа, адреналин зашкаливает: и страшно, и жутко, но при этом не покидает чувство восхищения от происходящего. Люди, чьих друзей я только что убил, орут, надрывая голос от скорби и злости, выкрикивая имена павших товарищей, и с ещё большей яростью преследуют меня!
    Геймпад мокрый, руки дрожат, секундная паника, смерть...

    Следом экран с советами и кнопка продолжить.

    П.С. В дальнейшем я семь раз думал прежде чем выстрелить и обнаружить себя!

    П.П.С. Играл на обычной версии PS4. Обязательно пройду игру вновь на консоли следующего поколения!    … Expand

    Never have I played a game that has moved me so emotionally as this one. I have felt anger, discomfort, excitement, fear, empathy, sorrow and all the while, enjoying every second of it.

    Before I pre-ordered this game, I was quite concerned by what people were talking about the story. So I made the tough decision of reading the leaks and finding out what happened. Once I got that out of the way, I went ahead and got the game on release. I started playing it with very critical eyes. I was prepared to hate the characters and the direction. Instead, I was disarmed and won over, a couple hours in. The performances and writing was masterful. I was instantly enthralled by the world I was thrown into. I had a lot of reservations about Abbey, until the last 10 hours of the game. I was pleasantly surprised by how it manages to shift your opinion of a woman who you are geared up for hating. A character that from the very beginning, is seen as a villain. You feel like a pendulum of emotions, as the game grinds to it's very emotional finale. I felt my own morale compass being put into question, as I felt guilty for siding with one character to the next. It was the kind of inward thinking that no game has ever evoked in me. And it's because of this, it's an undeniable masterpiece.

    This game without a doubt, has the most intense and exciting gameplay I've ever enjoyed. It manages to make you feel vulnerable and powerless, while giving you about a hundred different ways to kill enemies. When you get a killing streak, with near perfect flow, it can be the most satisfying thing. It reminds me of Hotline Miami and the brutal, fast paced decisions you have to make, while running through an arena of enemies. The crafting and looting are almost identical to the first game, with a bit more depth. I have to admit, looting is not my favourite thing to do in any game, but it feels necessary in this case.

    I've played a lot of games through out the years and this one will probably stick with me for a long time. It's easily one of the best games I've ever played and I can't wait to jump back in for a second play though. My advice is to play this game, knowing as little as possible about it. Ignore the haters and enjoy this game for what it is! The PS4 was made for this game.    … Expand

    Best game I've ever played.

    You're honestly deluded if you think this is a bad game. Giving it a 1? Pathetic.

    It was a rollercoaster and it was amazing. Kept me guessing the whole time and I didn't know at what point the game was going to end.

    If you played TLOU part 1 and liked then this part 2 has no competition because Naughty Dog improved each area of this production, Thanks Naughty Dog.
    If you "did not like" (in way of speaking), it is ok, but if you are reviewing it: 1. Without even finish it. 2. Because it shows more inclusion (LGBTTQ) 3. Just played a couple of hours 4. Because the release was delayed.    AWESOME!!

All theThis game is so beautiful, just want to praise the art direction and all the attention to detail that the team had to every subject, its almost like anywhere you are, you can go to photo mode and make a wallpaper. The story is extremely impactful and emotional, you can feel the pain of the characters just by the facial expression, Ashley, Troy and Laura are just incredible. All the narrative develops from what is going through Ellie’s mind, they try to make the player feel exactly what she feels, and it works perfectly. When she’s angry, you’re angry, when she is anxious, you’re anxious. No beloved characters are disrespected, whoever says that doesn't even tried to have the full experience.
    The main idea of the game is the conflict between empathy and the search for survival, with Ellie having to make very complicated choices, similar to Joel in the first game, the parallels of flashbacks with the present makes this evident. But we have to remember that Ellie is not Joel, she’ll try to do the same things that he did without resentment, almost mirroring his actions, but the way she will handle the consequences is what makes this game perfect.
    It makes me so sad that this game had so much hateful comments and got review bombed. Maybe if the community weren't so mainstream and it weren't a triple A it could be praised for the masterpiece it is. Just as games like Life is Strange, Detroit, and even the first Last of Us, it is molded by a tremendous narrative and great characters, and maybe some people are just not ready to experience a huge emotional and realistic point of view. Even though I still think that this people didn't played the game or are just finding reasons to dislike the game to support their prejudice. Claiming that this game has poor writing, awful characters, LGBTQ+ propaganda and its made for SJW is such a shallow and terrible statement to do.    … 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...
