    Masterpiece. Maybe the best video game I have ever played in my life.
    I enjoyed The Last Of Us a lot, but for me, this one is even better. Totally recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game visual experience is more than gorgeous.
    It feels like you are playing a movie and you will notice they really tried getting the most out of the PS4 hardware.

    The gameplay is solid and the story is true to the nature of storytelling in the first part (little more mature and harsh because Ellie is older).
    On a rare occasion it felt repetitive.
    Some reviews state that it is a bad story because the killing and emotions of abby don't add up.
    If that is the case you can say the same about Joel, he killed a-lot of innocent people and more people loved part 1 of the game serie.

    You will hate Abby in some part of the game, thats for sure.
    But after some time playing Abby you will be compassionate about her too.
    They did a good job with psychology behind that.
    It felt like an emotional rollercoaster and i was switches sides multiple times as the game progressed.

    The end is devastating and perfect at the same time.
    Ellie made the chose to let hatred rule her life instead of love and it gave her nothing but pain.
    In the end she comes home to find out her lover and foster-child is gone and she cant play the guitar (Joel taught her how to play) anymore because of her missing fingers.
    She leaves the house and the guitar behind where the guitar is symbolic to Joel.    … Expand

    Геймплей: Играл только на очень высоком (поэтому впечатления могут быть другими). Геймплей быстрый и жестокий или медленный и затяжной. Зависит от вас. Но на высоком вы редко будете расстреливать обойму в чувака с трубой. Наоборот станете ценить каждый патрон и заглядывать за каждый угол в поисках грёбанной изоленты. Игровой процесс великолепен! Впечатлительным противопоказано!
    Графика: Отличная смотреть за мельчайшими деталями на руках Элли или комнатах героев просто шикарно!
    Итог: Игра отличная! Подарила множество сильнейших эмоций! Хотя и не всегда положительных. Дракманн будь ты проклят за такой трогательных финал.
    Из минусов я бы отметил затянутость игры.
    Мне потребовалось около 35 часов что бы её пройти.

    This game is at least GREAT. Maybe not 10/10, but since it got a LOT of bad notes, I'm willing to give more then I would normally do (which is solid 8,5 or 9).

    All those flaws that I can see in other users reviews are pointless and I didn't noticed them.

    Instead I noticed well written story, which is deep and make you think, non-binary characters (there is no one who is only good or only evil), great (amazing) graphics + animations + facial expressions, touching cut-scenes (because of great facial animations + dubbing + story), immersive game-play, superb audio (including English dubbing).

    Maybe the plot is not as good as in Part One, but Part Two is nonetheless great, I just felt more "empty inside" and confused after I finished Part One, which had very emotional ending. Part Two had the emotions more balanced over the entire game time.

    I hope that if NaughtyDog will be brave enough to make 3rd part of this incredible story, they will manage to keep up the good work and good story and they will make it only if they would be sure the game will be at least as amazing as Part Two!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly beautiful game. The graphics and game play are just as good, if not better than the first one. The story pushes boundaries that we aren’t comfortable with. The world of The Last of Us is brutal and unforgiving. To think that Joel wouldn’t face any consequences after his actions in the conclusion of the first game is ridiculous. He slaughtered dozens of people as well as murdered the only person who could make a vaccine. Don’t get me wrong, Joel is my favorite and I’d love for him to have had a happier ending, but I’m also not naive in thinking that just because he is a main character he is invincible. The dual story lines is something that helps put you in the perspective of everyone involved. Abby had just as much validation for her actions as Joel did for his. The representation of LGBTQ+ characters is also something I personally feel is amazing. Anyone who discredits these characters because of their sexual orientation has no right to play this game and are unwanted in this fan base. Do not let early leaks of this game deter you from the fact that it is incredible. Play the game for yourself before forming an opinion, don’t just go off of what some bitter strangers on the internet said.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gráficas hermosas, todos esos paisajes y sombras; jugabilidad estupenda, incluyendo lo suave que es moverse por todo el terreno; detalles notables, entre expresiones faciales fuera de cinemáticas o la movilidad de los personajes al saltar obstáculos; dificultad decente. Todo iba muy bien con respecto a la historia, aún notando la diferencia de emociones que causa con respecto a la 1ra entrega, que no tiene porque ser la misma. Todo bien, como decía, hasta la 2da parte del viaje de Abby.
    La primera parte de Abby es aceptable, nos muestra como es que fue a llegar al acuario y nos enseña sus motivaciones sin ser un "villano" (entre muchas comillas) vacío y disfruté, las primeras veces que nos la entregaron, al usar su musculatura para salir de las situaciones de infectados. Pero la 2da parte, desde que salva a Lev y Yara. se vuelve Meh o un "¿es esto necesario?", es decir, Abby, un personaje que lleva años torturando y matando gente de todas las edades, de repente se vuelve bondadosa y sigue matando y torturando sólo para salvar a este par que recién ha conocido, incluyendo todo un arco de rescate y de conocer su historia. Lo hubiese aceptado mejor si no fuera porque luego, para colmo de todo esto, pareciera que creyeron los desarrolladores que Abby nos caería bien y nos la entregan a ella para combatir contra Ellie. Me maté un par de veces sólo para ver que Ellie me matara como Abby.

    Sólo por el 2do arco de Abby 8/10

    After playing the game, I really don't understand why it is getting so much hate. The visuals are stunning, the gameplay is improved as much as possible and the story has so many layers to it that it reminds me of a book (which people often overlook). If the first game got 10, this one is surely a solid 9.

The story is rough and delivers gut punch after gut punch, but I marvel at it. Almost no piece of media has ever made me feel such strong emotions and had me thinking about it so much. While you don’t have to agree with the decisions the writers made, I don’t either, I think you have to give it a fair chance and once you do that you can see the true gut wrenching beauty of this game. No need to dive into gameplay or graphics. The graphics are the best I‘ve seen on the ps4 and it has some of the most exhilarating gameplay I‘ve ever seen. A masterpiece… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After completing the game twice and getting 100% on it I feel that I have enough of an understanding of it to write down my opinions!
    This game is polarizing to say the least. Let’s start with talking about the elephant in the room, the story and the characters. In my opinion this story was GREAT. It made me feel so many emotions that I have a hard time to even comprehend. In my opinion the story was crafted so finely that the emotions you feel so closely corresponds with the characters that you are interacting with that it almost feels like you are there and experiencing the loss and despair.

    *SPOILERS*
    When Joel got killed in front of me I felt a hole in my heart that I didn’t know how to fill again, if this isn’t great storytelling I don’t know what is. To be able to make the players feel this connected to these characters is a feat of its own.
    Through the whole journey this made me feel a connection with a main character that I have never felt before, I was just as angry and lost as Ellie through this emotional horror story. The part of the story that I had a hard time with was some parts of Abby’s storyline. My only gripe with it though is that it was too long. That said I like the direction Naughty Dog went with it though. Starting Abby’s side of the story when you still hate her and want nothing else than to finish her off to growing to sympathise with her by the end of her storyline. I never liked her, but you don’t have too and I think that’s the point. She, just as Joel and Ellie isn’t perfect. They all screw up, get people close to them killed and does anything and everything to succeed in their own crusades.

    Let’s talk about the gameplay.
    This game, more than the first one, has really nailed what the gameplay should be in this world. Searching for ammo feels rewarding and makes the world more real when you have to scavenge around the whole map to find useful items. The fact that you can go in and out of stealth also really sells the probability of the world more, as being caught by an enemy no longer feels like you messed up the section but instead you just have to adapt your approach and adjust on your feet when something goes wrong!
    The gameplay also makes a great addition to the story, matching the gameplay to the two different characters which also helps to sell the world.

    I’m not saying the game doesn’t have flaws, because it does. It’s not air-tight but god damn it’s good. Like they could have been more clear with how overwhelming the horde of infected where to further sell why Joel and Tommy would follow Abby in the first place. Mostly to show people that this is still the hardened and careful Joel that we knew from the first game. This will, after the smoke of war has settled, be considered a masterpiece and will definitely be remembered as great game. I remember when the first game came out how many people (including myself) right after finishing the story also where pretty mad at it for robbing the player of what felt as the goal of the game. But after thinking about it and playing it again, I was in love with it and I think a lot of people would feel the same way about this game if they gave it a chance with an open mind!

    Thank you Naughty Dog.    … Expand

It's a very risky move, because I don't think many players would get it. It's not just simply about breaking the cycle of violence, it's a bout how people deal with personal trauma and healing.

Игра лично для меня 8 из 10, так как мне тоже не понравилось что и как сделали с протагонистом первой части и мне тоже было больно смотреть на это, так как история Last of Us всегда была очень личной и играла на всех струнах, но я понимаю, что это правильное развитие, которое показывает, что история не стоит на месте, и что игра не шутки шутить пришла, а показать взрослую историю о той же маленькой девочке, которая нам всем полюбилась еще в первой части, и которая уже выросла, и именно по этому я поставлю 10, что бы общий юзер скор был достоен этой, изумительной по своему, игре!… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. All the haters are ignorant people who can't stand new experiencies and character development.
    It is empowering for women, trans and gets close to problems people would have in that kind of postapocalyptic world.
    My most sincere congratulations to the naughty dog team, please keep making games so good as this one.

    Let's get all the haters out of the way. Is the story the best story we've ever seen in a (Naughty Dog) game? Hell no.. The story forces you to do certain things and it's far too emotional. Don't get me wrong, emotions are good, but every scene is pushed to far.

    I have already played the game 4 times, and i can assure, this game is a master piece. Even the story people hate, is just amazing.

    With this review i want to explain some things people hates, and show why this game is such an incredible game. 1ST: It is something completly new.

    With this review i want to explain some things people hates, and show why this game is such an incredible game.

    1ST: It is something completly new. There has never been a game like this, in wich you see both sides of a story in such a deeply way. Abby story is not for people to actually like it, its purpose is to make people UNDERSTAND her, and show people that you only like Joel and Ellie because you have play with them. Abby's part is basically tlou 1 with different characters, and i can really state that if that story would have been show before abby killing joel (like in another game, lets say a: "TLOU survivors" people would say it is amazing) The thing, is that you would never like something if it has a part you really hate, and in this case, that part is Abby. And no, arguing that the her story is bad written is not real, there a real reviewers, real gamers go dedicate to analize the game, and 90% of that people say it is a good story, but the reason some people hate it is because Abby, and it is not intentional, it is something psychological, and thats what this game is about.

    2nd: This games is just GREAT because it is the first game where the main character is the same as the other characters, and has the same probabilities to live. God deam this is AMAZING, it sucks that people think this is a bad aspect. They complaing saying people dies like nothing and super fast, and who the f##k in real life dies like a hero and stays alive 10 Minutes to speak its last words? NO, the world of this game is like that, you can die in a second as in real life, it is not a super hero game in wich your main character even tho he has 657381930 people shooting him an his brain out will survive, this game is REAL, it world is REAL, here, even a common solider can die as a main character, and that is amazing, because it is really awfull when you play a game and even in the most dangerous part you are sure that your main character will survive or die like a hero, now, in this game, you are really scared on dangerous parts, because anyone can die, and that is just a feeling no other game/movie has been able to transmit. And people that complain about joel death Just dont understan they are not playing a super hero game, they are playing a game that has this kind of world, you can die in 1 second, and even if you were important, life must continue, there is no time to stop and cry.

    Altough, there are some parts that can be improved, non game is PERFECT 100%, i think something could be fixed is the reason why abby just leaves elllie alive, that part should have been more explained, because the reason is obvious but it should be more explained.

    I think this is a 9.3- 9.4, or a 93/94 out of 100 as it is on metacritic. This is a game like no other, and i think that with time, people will really recognize this game for what it is    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself”

    The Last of us Part 2 hurt to play. I often found myself yelling at Ellie through the screen begging her not to carry out her revenge driven plan over and over again. The direction Naughty Dog took with the game wasn’t at all where I wanted them to go with it. I hated how depressing the game was and how sad it made me. But, the fact that this video game made me feel so strongly is a testament to how good the game is.

    As a Character Study, TLOU2 is absolutely fantastic in that it shows the detailed progression of Ellie’s descent into madness. The circumstances Ellie faces constantly make her ask herself just how much she’s willing to lose to seek revenge on Abby and gain closure over Joel’s death. Her answer? Everything. And we see this at the end of the game: by the time she realized how pointless the cycle of violence was, she’d already lost her friends, her lover, her family, and even the last physical connection she had to Joel. But by ending the cycle of violence and ultimately forgiving Abby, Joel, and herself, she’s able to finally start her life. I loved how the game didn’t just discard the events of the first TLOU and was willing to flesh out and deal with untied knots from the first game, and although the end result was gut wrenchingly painful to bear witness to, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful by the games finish.

    I felt as though Abby’s section of the game was fantastically done as well. I won’t get into this part too much, but Naughty Dog’s ability to introduce and make you care for these intricate, fleshed out characters in a short amount of time is really incredible.

    However, this game isn’t without fault. One of my biggest issues with this game was probably the huge disconnect is has from the first game. I’m glad ND took a different path with this game and didn’t just decide to make TLOU2 the same thing as TLOU1. However, so much has changed between the first game and this one, and I feel like what would’ve serviced the game more is if they had replaced some of the “point a to point b” gameplay sequences with a couple more fleshed out cut scenes detailing how Ellie and Joel’s relationship has progressed. I feel as though that would help bridge the gap of the 2 games and also help make the gameplay seem less dragged out (seriously, a lot of the times the game took so many unnecessary detours that were obviously for lengthening purposes, it was really annoying.

    Another thing that brought TLOU2 down was advertising. Now I’m happy with the end result of the game, BUT... it was basically advertised as another buddy adventure with Ellie and Joel where there would be a lot of time spent with him, and that’s just not the case. I can understand why people dislike this game as much as they do just due to the fact that they were basically convinced by adverts that they would be getting a different game than the one they ultimately received.

    Overall, a really great game with a couple of noticeable flaws. Not for everyone, but I really appreciated this game for what it was.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly misunderstood. Joel’s death makes sense, it’s justified by your action in the first game let alone what we don’t see before we meet Ellie. Tess explains that they are **** people”. Joel knew that his actions would catch up to him eventually but it is all worth it if he gets more time with his new “daughter”. The things Ellie does in this game aren’t justified because of what Abby did to Joel and Ellie coming to that realization at the end of the game is the best thing that could happen for her. By the end she finally has closure which is what she was the looking for during the whole game. And by leaving the guitar behind I believe this symbolizes Ellie forgiving Joel and moving on. Say what you want about the narrative of this game but the storytelling is next level. The visuals are incredible and so is the sound design. This is the pinnacle of game design. “Don’t ruin this gift” With your petty remarks about where Naughty dog decided to go with the narrative of this masterpiece. I am truly amazed by this game. Love it for what it is not what you expected. Fan service isn’t always a good thing. Naughty Dog took a big step here and I believe it payed off.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us was an acknowledged and overt homage to the work of Cormac McCarthy. It was groundbreaking in the video game world, there was nothing like it in so many ways. Since it's release it solidified itself as one of the best pieces of post-apocalyptic/zombie entertainment, game play was overshadowed by character development, story, and immersion. And it remains in my top 3 games all time. The followup was plagued by externalities, including leaks, assumptions, and bigotry, and the mixed bag of reviews is indicative of that. However, not every negative review should be attributed to bias. There is a lot to hate in this game for some players, and in that way, this game is more similar to a Cormac McCarthy novel than the original. This is not a game you play for fun, I certainly didn't have much "fun," but I was absolutely entertained. It is gritty and uncomfortable, the characters make decisions you wouldn't because they have lived lives that you haven't. Real life doesn't have nice wrapped up endings and clearly defined protagonists, who all make the most reasonable decisions, and antagonists, who act as they do without reason. This is a complex tail that mirrors the random nature of the real world. We lost characters we cherished, both by death and fundamental loss of their character to revenge, rage, and ptsd. If the future of storytelling entertainment is in games, LOU2 took a massive step towards that future. I loved the story, but I also hated many of the decisions made in it. My opinions and feelings towards the main characters changed through the story, and I don't know where they stand now that it has ended. This was an emotionally draining experience, which is a complexity I am happy to see so well done in this medium.
    As far as the game play goes, I enjoyed it substantially more than the first. I argue that this is the best game play of any Naughty Dog production. The style of play feels noticeably different between characters. Stealth is achieved expertly, and gunfights balance between realistic and enjoyable. Where this game has fewer overt puzzles than the first, combat itself feels more like a puzzle here. Combat increases difficulty well, and doesn't have massive jumps in difficulty that the first did. Also, the loads after deaths are the fastest I have ever experienced, there is almost no wait. Overall, I am very happy with this game, and I think it did the original justice. I understand why others didn't feel the same, playing was sometimes a struggle because of how uncomfortable it made me, but it was a huge step forward for what games will be in the future, and I loved the experience.    … Expand

This game is more than worth the hours you'll invest. TLOU2 continues the story so carefully laid out in the first installment. We see Ellie grown, Joel weathered, and society beginning to plant new roots in a post-apocalyptic world. Joel's past and his choices from the first game catch up to him, and he confronts the consequences. Ellie struggles to accept those choices while trying to sort out who she is, and who she wants to be. This is a story about loss, regret, and acceptance; crafted exceptionally well by the medium's most innovative world-builders.

    It's not surprising that in today's political environment, this game has been so divisive. This is not the game's fault; it is ours. As I see it, the criticism of this game breaks down into two factors. 1) It's plot choices; 2) a single character: Abby.

    Not liking some of the plot choices is perhaps the most honest critique one can make about this game, although still unwarranted IMO. I've heard arguments about Joel's fate being out-of-character, and that the "real" Joel would never allow what happened to take place. These arguments overlook the fact that this is not the same Joel from the first game. Years have passed, and Joel has regained something he thought was lost forever. Something to protect, and a reason to make the world a better place. At this point in his life, it's clear that he's reconciled much of his baggage from the first game and has invested in building a future for himself and those he loves. His choices, and how he approaches life in general, are of course going to change. I've also heard some strange critique about how unreasonable and unrealistic it is that finding a vaccine for the game's underlying world threat (the cordyceps infection) would require a human sacrifice, and how anyone who would allow for said sacrifice is irredeemable. This is wrong. 1) This isn't a virus; it's a parasitic fungal infection, so there's no reason to believe finding a vaccine would work the same way as our real world. The game establishes why securing a sample to develop a vaccine would be fatal. 2) This is a fictional story involving a post-apocalyptic future where humans are struggling to survive against fungal zombies. We're meant to suspend our disbelief.

    The second line of criticism is the most troubling to me. Some people just hate Abby, and especially hate that this game attempts to make the player empathize with her. They also hate the so-called "wokeness" of her character and in general the game, by it addressing some LGBTQ issues during her part of the story. Putting this criticism into context, I think it's clear that those who have a problem with Abby are two things: 1) Unwilling to see the world as anything other than black and white, us vs them. 2) Resentful that this fantasy world they want to escape into doesn't reflect the world they actually want... namely one in which LGBTQ people and the challenges they contend with everyday do not exist, men are "purely" men and women are "purely" women. They leave no room for a spectrum of gender roles or identities. They hate Abby's muscles, they ridicule the game's story for merely including gender issues (which aren't even relevant to the overarching themes of the story), and they roll their eyes at Dina and Ellie's burgeoning relationship. None of these inclusions are forced into this story, and happen as naturally as they do in real life. But these particular critics just simply do not want these values in their games, and I can't help but feel like ultimately the reason for this is because they do not want them in their real life. It's sad, but also unsurprising.

    In the end, the reason to love this game is precisely because of how it balances a make-believe world with the very real human relationships and complications we face in the actual one. It will go down as a historic contribution to the medium.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its stupid how many people hate this game just because it isn't the way they wanted to be. Fans don't write the story, the developers own us nothing, just because our favourite character died doesn't mean the game is bad, actually is awesome. They did the same that did in the last one, they explore the human nature, emotions and what drives a person to go over the edge and lose themselves because they are broken. I have never seen better written characters in any other game in my life. And love or hate Abby, her character and depth are somenthing to admire, which doesn't mean that she has to be a great person, she isn't, but sorry to tell you, neither is Ellie, both of them lose themselves, but some times do the right thing, when they think of someone more than themselves. And the way they close the game, with Abby being this protective and maternal figure, like Joel with Ellie, just warms my heart, and at the same time reminds me of what we lost because of Abby, it's bittersweet, but i think that she needed the chance to redeem herself. And we gotta admite, Abby's section had more exciting gameplay, and even tho I hated when they made me start playing as Abby I ended up loving it, specially in my second run, it hits different knowing everything that happens. And the gameplay it's so smooth and good, i love the mecanics, so good. So, people, stop hating on the game because Joel's death, or the fact that Abby can kick ass because she is **** strong, its not "unnatural", its pretty damn cool finally seeing a strong woman in a videogame, not fighting zombies in a dress and highheels (like Ada in RE, none complains about this one and it is the actually unrealistic one). I also admire that they big such a protagonist role to a trasgender character and I couldn't be happier about it, this is how you present and put on a game a trasgender character, this is what helps normalize this diversity, and if you just don't agree with this character because of who he is, and you think it's not necessary to have him in the game then you are part of the problem and transfobic as **** I'm in love with this game, the audacity of the developers and just the story and everything, makes me emocional and cry every time I play it. They outdone themselves. And as I write this I just want to go back to play it for the fourth time. I hope you have had enjoyed as much as I had, and you continue doing it. I will give it a 10 if it wasn't for three things that bothered me. Number one, some stupid glitches that shouldn't be there and really annoyed me. Second, Dina and Ellie were cute, but too chesse for me sometimes and their scenes were too long when I just wanted to go back to play, like some other cinematics, too long, plus Dina's pregnancy was just weird, a bomb exploded next to her and then she fell of a cristal glass in the celling, and more things that would have probably kill her fetus, I think at least. And the third thing it's the final, I was glad that Abby survived and Ellie did the right thing letting her go because Lev and Abby reminded her of her relationship with Joel and she knew she couldn't do to Lev what Abby did to her, and I understand the irony in Ellie's story and final, what she was most scared of all happened, ended up alone, in that beach. But I really hated that she went back to the house and we had that scene with Joel at the end, I feel like we should have watched that scene way before and the perfect and poetic (painful nonetheless) final would have being just the beach, in my personal opinion.
    In summary, 9 out of 10 game.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
