    I do not say this lightly. This may be the best game I’ve ever played. While yes, it is bleak and violent... the plot and character development are excellent. It’s beautiful. It’s an emotional roller coaster. 10/10.

    Its one of the best games ive actually played. The graphics, the quality of the animations, the AI, everything is top notch.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was great, reading some of the negative comments you can tell people are either trying to bomb the score or they saw parts or spoilers and think that's the whole game.

    You have to play this game yourself to see if you like the story and yes its a story, its a story that will make you feel sad, happy, want revenge, mad that revenge was not served and empathy for the characters you wanted the revenge against.

    Abby is easy to hate and then you see her story and you see shes no different then the characters you cheer for, the game has not good vs bad and that triggers people, I can understand not liking the story but its a 6-7 under the most critical views so not sure where the 0s come from even ET on ATari is not a 0

Just ignore the haters and experience this awesome game. The plot is dark, brutal and unrelenting. It's what I was expecting. The final scene was quite sad, but not every ending is happy, it's just like real life. People claiming that games are not supposed to be about politics are frustrated because this game has so much representation and they can't accept that different people are represented. There is a black man who is a leader, a lesbian woman (Ellie), a bisexual woman, a trans boy, asian people, people with disabilities... I mean, the game represents life as it is. And yes, it's political. To represent marginalized people in games is a political act and one that hopes to make gamers a little more empathetic. By the way, empathy is key to understand characters' decisions and motivations. It's a game for a MATURE audience.
    This is the best game of the generation. One that everyone should play. It doesn't matter if the plot will not appeal so much to you, you're still going to love to play this game. It's a majestic evolution of the first part.

    The Last of Us part 2 is an amazing game, the combat and the way the weapons feel are superb. Ever bullet or arrow that you receive and dish out has weight.

Ever bullet or arrow that you receive and dish out has weight. The design and sounds of the infected/zombie like enemies will make your skin crawl. The human enemies are interesting because they all have names. Sometimes it was frustrating when you stealth kill an enemy with a silent range weapon (bow or silent gun) and the AI can instantly deduce which direction you are with with out checking the body. However that's the only negative thing about the combat in my opinion. My only other nitpick is that their was only one part where you could freely roam a large map. I originally expected several sections like this but another one never came. Obviously the story and acting is amazing. The ending was heavy. This game is a clear 10/10. Not sure why people are review bombing it, this game is clearly brilliant. 10/10. Expand

Some are frustrating and some are so amazing you’ll be gasping for air. The gameplay is so smooth and the fight scenes are so real you feel like you can see every little movement with such detail. The story tugs on your emotions so much. I had some points I was jumping out of my seat and others I was grabbing the tissues. It is utterly beautiful and everything ND promises it would be. But you cant let the ultimate message go right past you.

Так же геймплей за Ебби нужен был, что бы показать другую сторону медали. Мы сочувствуем Елли, так как привязались к ней еще со времен 1 части и игра за Ебби нам дает прочуствовать ее мотивацию. О графике и детализации говорить не стоит, так как это Ноути Дог, а как мы знаем : проработка деталей у них на высоте. Ставлю 10 баллов, так как игра вывела меня на эмоции, при этом крайне сильные эмоции. Цена в 4.5к рублей оправдана, но вот оценка 3.9 на мете - нет! Expand

    The story, the story itself is a masterpiece - I tend to say the screenplay is actually a next gen. Naughty dog managed to seize video gaming medium and accomplished impressive emotional attack. After the playthrough I felt all kind of emotions I could, I felt sorrow, I felt compassion I am replaying all the events in my head - all over and over again.

    I can tell one thing, it touched me a lot, it made me think. It made me think about humans, about emotions, about feelings.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first Last of Us was an amazing with a great ending giving hints of a second game in the future. With that finally coming I was finally able to complete the game with my thoughts and mixed feels of the game. With many people talking about many characters deaths going quick and how the should have gone a different way is some what understandable. But also people playing the game and giving it negative feedback I think in too be more open minded about how they were killed. Joel being beat to death by a Abby with her wanting revenge for Joel killing her father in order to save Ellie.With Ellie seeing how Joel died made her wanting her revenge as well. With the way the story goes in my opinion is showing the Ellie is being coming more of a monster then Abby. Which is one of the reasons we play as both characters. With both Ellie and Abby coming together in the moment that cause everything to happen we see that Abby keeps herself from killing Dina being pregnant with Lev's help. With then next chapter coming too the farm house it shows the Ellie fells as if she has not gotten her true revenge by not killing Abby. With Tommy actions of pushing her to do so it triggers her ideas of what Abby did. With having her finally battle with Abby Ellie then realizes that Joel would not want her to turn into the kind of person that he was with always wanting revenge and succeeding at it. With her finally letting Abby go she is unevenly put at peace with her decision. Getting back to the farm house with Dina being gone, she understands that she made wrong decisions in her life accepting what she has done. Finding the guitar in the house that Joel made her not being able to play it makes her leave the guitar know that she needs to let her haunted memories go and be at peace. With having an ending like that made me have dislikes about the game but is still one of the best games I've ever played. Expand

Okay so this is my first time publicly reviewing a game, and i wasn't intending to do so but i feel like owe this game some justice and have to defend it since it's getting review bombed for absolutely no reason. This is a masterpiece, clearly one of the best if not the best playstation game of all time. A huge improvement from the first game, gameplay wise, graphics wise and even the story is better. We can clearly see the evolution of the characters between the first and the second game, they have matured and are far more complex than in the first game. I get that Joel dying in the first few hours of the game must be a huge turn-off. But this game is all about revenge and it delivers its objective. I found it absolutely intelligent and smart to let you play as both Ellie and Abby because in doing so, you can relate to them and you can clearly see why they both did what they did. Abby wanted to avenge her father. Ellie wanted to avenge Joel, each one of them clearly had a valid reason to justify the atrocity and brutality of the events that happen in the game. I felt each and every bullet coming out of my bullet. I felt every bullet getting in my body. I COULD relate to these characters. Now the infected added a whole thing to the game, killing them was as challenging and scary as ever, i still cannot get over the huge infected with multiple heads, i was terrified. Thank you Naughty Dog, thank you Neil Druckmann. You've made us happy in a really tough time. The game is polished as it should, and clearly looks great. I don't mind games getting delayed if the end result is going to be as amazing as this. A masterpiece. Expand

Su orientación sexual no debería de afectar en la historia y no lo hace, es más, siento que aporta más trama a esta entrega ya que esta Dina, que no solo es la novia y mejor amiga de Ellie desde años, sino también el que este embarazada es un problema para ambas y en la venganza de Ellie.

There are several moments of actual terror and good jump scares. The story makes you think of the consequences of your actions especially when it comes to revenge. How many times have we murdered without thinking about it. In this game we see both sides and end up feeling empathy for both sides. I loved it from start to finish i really did. Expand

It’s really an experience that’s all about perspective. However, in my opinion, a great deal of empathy is required to fully enjoy it. In terms of gameplay and pacing, it’s truly a harrowing journey which sometimes will feel like a never-ending series of encounters. For me, it made me treasure the rare peaceful moments even more. The combat system was really well done, making you feel every hit you take and dish out, melee or otherwise. Definitely would recommend getting this game, just for the sheer whirlwind of emotion it puts you through. Please ignore the bad reviews and give this game a chance. It’ll be one to remember for a long time. I’m currently at a loss for words as to how I feel upon completing it. Truly.

    Since its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time. Having played through the first instalment 7 or 8 times over the years whilst I patiently waited for the Part II, its fairly safe to say that my expectations for The Last of Us: Part II were extremely high and I was NOT disappointed… What a masterpiece! Harrowingly beautifulSince its release in 2013, The Last of Us has firmly held a place on my podium as one of the best games of all time. Having played through the first instalment 7 or 8 times over the years whilst I patiently waited for the Part II, its fairly safe to say that my expectations for The Last of Us: Part II were extremely high and I was NOT disappointed… What a masterpiece! Harrowingly beautiful and shockingly captivating to the end. I never read reviews on a game until I have completed it, so when I learnt from a follower whilst streaming the end to our macabre journey last night, that the game had been completely bombed by reviews, I was stunned. Having now read a heap of reviews, a number of which came in just a hours after the games release, despite the game requiring 20-30 hours of gameplay; I feel it is imperative that the game receives the ratings it deserves. So here we go… (N.B. - Completed on Survivor Mode).

    The gameplay is excellent. A solid 3rd person view that sits in sweet spot to behind the character, not being to close to obstruct and not so far as to make distant targets hard to see and camera angles are reasonably flexible. Aiming and shooting were pretty standard for a modern 3rd person shooter. The enemies AI was outstanding, just when you thought you had their pathing worked, they would change it up on you as you got closer or moved to get a better angle. Enemy ‘tells’ were subtle and sometimes hard to gauge, making melee combat that bit more difficult (which is good). This leads me to probably my biggest pain point for the game… I expected it to be harder, particularly given that when selecting ‘Survivor’ you are prompted with a warning advising against selecting this difficulty on your first playthrough. In terms of music, the scoring for this game is in my opinion without rival from any game to-date (think this comment speaks for itself).
    The graphics are stunning, despite the developer’s limitations on the PS4’s out-of-date hardware. It would have been amazing to see the potential with say, NVIDIA’s Ray Tracing. The environment is beautiful, amazing land and cityscapes that were well bordered so that you weren’t frustrated by the fact that the character was stopped by a brick on the ground that they could easily step over to move past into the area that lay beyond. Character design was excellent, even though it was obvious from the outset that developers had revisited Ellie’s appearance to remove further confusion between our protagonist and the actress, Ellen Page. Also, the design of Abby’s military muscle build was an admirable shift from the typical sexy/beautiful female characters, that screams “this game was designed by men”. That of course leads me to the final and most controversial point of the game, the story. (Warning: Spoilers ahead) As a true fan of the original instalment, I cannot fathom how people are attacking the story. Given that a large number of the negative reviews came hours after the games release, perhaps people were annoyed by an intro that was not huge on information, but what good thriller ever divulges the plot upfront. Jovial Ellie is now an emotional teenager with ‘daddy’ issues and as we learn, rightfully so. We are also confronted right at the start with a scene similar to the ‘Glen & Negan’ moment from TWD, were we come to terms that our hero from the last story will not play a significant part going forward; just as the ‘Glen & Negan’ scene did, this likely lost peoples interest going forward, but hey.. death is a part of life. As the story progresses flashbacks help stitch together the events of the past 4 years for Ellie and we are forced to understand that there are different sides to every story, as we play through the eyes of our new anti-hero, Abby. Was it the story I expected? No… but it was a story of loss, heartache and revenge (with a serving of PTSD), which quite frankly makes sense for kids raised in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. Did the developers make our little Ellie a lesbian? Yes… But seriously, it is 2020 people, it is time to move on. There were of course bits that frustrated me with the way the story went, but that’s to be expected given that the story didn’t go the way I expected. Being forced to play as Abby in the theatre annoyed me, as I wasn't sold on her redemption yet, and found myself occasionally run at Ellie just to see her blow a hole in Abby’s face. The end also left me wanting, But expect this was purposeful to set up a potential Part III (i.e. Fireflies and Ellie's wish to save humanity).

    If you have not yet played the game or finished it; I implore you to STOP, get off this site, go to your local store, buy the game and complete it with an open-mind. Decide for yourself. At the end of the day, whilst this is a darker story, it now easily sits side by side with the first instalment on my podium as one of the top games of all-time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ho giocato per la seconda volta questo titolo, adesso ho le idee chiare e senza dubbi lo definisco uno dei punti più alti di tutta la generazione di videogiochi in assoluto. Ha una storia semplice ma non scarna di colpi di scena, che quando ci sono, sono molto convincenti. Il gameplay è solamente migliorato dal primo capitolo, rimanendo comunque molto simile. Dopo la prima run, sono rimasto perplesso dopo il finale.
    P.S. Da ora partono gli spoiler...
    Parlando del finale, mi sarebbe molto piaciuto vedere Ellie uccidere Abby e diventare quindi una persona che durante tutto il gioco viene lentamente consumata dalla vendetta, questo lo dimostra proprio il finale, quando, Abby legata ai pali viene liberata da Ellie, ma quest'ultima non vuole spezzarla, distruggerla da impotente, Ellie vuole combattere e trovare un senso ancora più grande nella sua vendetta, che però viene sporcata dal ricordo che Ellie ha di Joel. Detto questo, vorrei cercare di far capire alla gente che mette 0 per provocazione o per il semplice motivo che odia il gioco, che se mettete 0 o magari 1 o 2 perchè la trama vi fa schifo, dovreste sapere che quello a cui giocate è un "VIDEOGIOCO" non un film, perché anche se il gioco non avesse il supporto di una trama bellissima, anzi una trama orribile e stupida (cosa che, ripeto, non è) sarebbe comunque un gioco di altissimo livello, con un gameplay molto bello, una grafica spettacolare e altri piccoli dettagli che comunque contribuiscono a rendere un gioco quello che è, perché The Last of Us è un gioco notevole

    did i bawl my eyes out when joel died? Yes. Did I think he was killed off way too fricking early? Yes. Do i think they were pushing their leftist propaganda? No. Do i like Neil CukMann? No. Did i think the sex scene added nothing to the story and that they could have just be in bed after, like with Ellie and Dina? Yes. Did I hate how they tried to humanize Abby after every single thing she’s done? Yes. But did i end up kinda being okay with her character? Unfortunately. Were the fingers being bitten off necessary? I mean i thought she was still good at playing the guitar, so prolly not. Did i enjoy the new mechanics? Yeah sure, i actually thing being able to break windows makes things a bit more interesting. Should the abby chapters be shorter? Yes. Did it make any sense to humanize yet another enemy (scars)? NO, looking at you Owen, get outta here with ur world peace ass. I mean the only reason I’m giving this a 10 is because i want people to watch streams/playthroughs or just simply play it themselves and decide if it’s a shetshow I personally would’ve given the game a 7/10 but because they made me wait 7 years for this, because they forced me to play as Abby before we knew anything about her and because they killed off Joel too early on,,, i’m giving the game a 5/10.

    I’d also suggest peeps would stop saying it’s shet and post golf memes (they’re big pp memes btw) and instead be more articulate as to why you hate the game. Because people like Troy Baker are getting discredited alongside the game. Also YOU ALREADY KILLED JOEL WHY KILL OFF JESSE??? TBH I THINK DINA SHOULDVE DIED AND JESSE SHOULD’VE LIVED. AND OH FUCME HOW DARE YOU TOUCH TOMMY YOU PSYCHOPATH. But yeah, ok game, v good graphics. i’d suggest waiting for the price drop if you kinda wanna play it but not really.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished my first play through last night at 32 hours. The games environment is stunning, the story was one of the best I’ve played. The twist and turns of an emotional heavy campaign, had me on the edge of my seat & my heart rate up. Originally I wanted to kill Abbie more than anything, after the traumatic scene with Joel. I couldn’t wait to get revenge on the team. As Ellie works through, Nora, Owen the pregnant Mel, you can’t help but feel for them. Then their deaths dawns on you, when the shoes are on the other foot as you playthrough as Abbie, suddenly you don’t want them to die, Abbie herself I ended up warming to her character. As you play fetch with Bear & take Alice on your mission. The little moments that you find yourself smiling. The part where you run into the aquarium & the truly horrific scene of Alice (the dog) lying motionless in a pool of blood on the floor, the room where Owen & Mel lay, it hits you differently. It really is a dark brilliant written revenge story & nobody wins. Story aside, The games attention to detail is phenomenal, the world seems truly alive. The combat mechanics are something else. Every kill with every weapon truly feels different in each environment, never has a game made me struggle to kill, but I genuinely hated killing the dogs. (I’m a dog person) The soundtrack is amazing. The Gameplay on Scar island might just be the most impressive thing I’ve ever done on a PlayStation console.

    In summary for me this game is nothing short of a masterpiece. It’s a must play for yourself, even if you’ve heard spoilers. Turn your sound up high & just enjoy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's start with the elephant in the room. Following the leak, people of the Internet rose up to call out The last of us 2 for having a agenda. The introduction of Abby made those people lose their mind and the game was boycotted. (Fun fact: Abby is not trans like those people thought, she's just swole as hell and I love it!). Being a fan of the first game, I think it was only fair to give Naughty dog a chance and try out the game before judging. Not only was there no "agenda", the leak mislead people to think it was a way bigger deal than it is. Now the game is very similar to the first one, it plays almost the same and I don't think it is a revolution of gaming. As for the story, it is a pretty standard vengeance story. It even worried me while playing that it would be all it had to offer. I was wrong. I won't say too much as this game as it should be played the most blind possible.

    If this whole drama surrounding the leaks taught me anything, It's that you should make your own mind about games. Play it for yourself, or if you are reluctant, watch a play-through. I can say without hesitation that if the leaks didn't happen, this game would have the same user score as the critics. If you were a fan of the first one, the second opus is for you.

    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.
