    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oyunun grafikleri olsun, mekanikleri olsun gayet güzel. Oynanışı çok güzel sizi oradaymış gibi etkiliyor ve yaşattırıyor. Ama ilk oyunda bize gösterilen konunun gayet güzel işlenişi, Joel ve Ellie’nin arasındaki bağ gayet güzeldi ve insanları asıl çeken şeyin de bu olduğunu düşünüyorum. Fakat 2.oyunda Joel’u o kadar görememiz beni çok üzdü. Ben daha çok Joel ve Ellie’nin arasındaki ilişkiyi görmek istiyordum. Joel’un sakladığı sırrı Ellie’nin öğrendiğinde ki verdiği tepkiden sonra neler yaşandı, nasıl düzeldi veya nasıl düzelmediğini görmek isterdim. Joel’un Ellie’nin nasıl arasındaki ilişkinin daha da yakınlaşmasını görmek isterdim. Ama oyunun 24-25 saatlik oynanış kısmının 2.saatinde Joel’un ölmesi kötüydü. Ve hiç tanımadığımız bir karakter olan Abby’le Ellie kadar 10–11 saat oynamamız kötüydü. Bunlar hatalıydı. Ama bu oyunun geri kalanını gayet beğendim. Bir başıt bence denemez. Denirse ilk oyuna haksız olucağını düşünüyorum.… Expand

I understand that some story bits will upset some fans, but I feel that it fits in the world ND created and are appropriate for the story it tells. The first LoU is one of my top 3 games all time, and, althout this one is not a 10 in my opinion like its predecessor, it's still delivers a very strong and powerful sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game in all its aspects - responsive and very fluid gameplay evolved from the first game, fresh story that's not only about survival or violence or revenge but also a tale of love, the path to extreme darkness and back to the light. It's about perspective on things - even the most righteous things that matter to you can be the very definition of `wrong` to another person. This game has torn me inside out - creative and unexpected writing just gets you emotional.

    Graphics are top-notch, nothing even compares to this by the level of detail, lighting, animation today. TLOU2 gives you one of the best NaughtyDog's set-pieces ever- skywalk episode, seraphites' island escape, Ratking fight at the hospital (so scary), and many more.

    Nuanced score by Gustavo Santaolalla, emotional covers of Pearl Jam and a-ha songs by Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker create the perfect atmosphere. Not to mention their Oscar-worthy performances - all their mutual scenes and chemistry gives me chills every time I watch them.

    Naughty Dog totally topped all previous games with TLOU2. Best PS exclusive of this generation, the game of the year 2020 so far.    … Expand

    Probabilmente la migliore saga mai creata. Gameplay molto simile al primo capitolo, unica minuscola pecca è proprio la mancanza di innovazione sotto questo punto di vista.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Story is actually really good, except for some pacing issues. I first disliked Abby, but I came to like her over the course of the game. Most people who criticize the game dislike how Joel died, because they think he is the hero of the first game, but those people never understood the first game. Joel isn’t supposed to be a beloved hero, he is at best morally gray and at worst a sympathetic villain who doomed humanity out of him being selfish. Obviously nobody’s right in the game, but if I had to choose I would say it’s Abby, because Joel needlessly murdered her father, who wasn’t really a threat to him, because Joel could have just knocked him out. That’s not to say I hat Joel, but people who think that they destroyed characters from the first game and that Joel is a hero, don’t even understand the story or characters from the first game. Besides people who think Elli should have killed Abby, probably also think that Luke should have killed Vader in "Return if the Jedi" !… Expand

It's sad to see all the negative review's, I don't know if it's because of lesbians on a revenge or that gamers have been looking at the spoilers from a hacker, I've ignored all that news so I can play it all on my own, and now that it's out for a week I can say this indeed, the brutality, the tense moments, the story, and the characters (rather they've died or are still alive). The entire game is a beautiful sequel non the less, having played both of the games including the dlc from the 1st game I can get why some of the fans are mad. but, that all said and done this is in my part the most gorgeous, tense, and brutal game I've ever played in my live, the gameplay and controls is directly noticeable from the start with a couple of xtra new tricks like dodgin and counter attack, new and dangerous enemies that amplified the scare score quite a bit, some characters you hate at the beginning and probably still do at the end, but the look and sights of the world and everything around it is beautiful to look at, the combat is slick and the movement sometimes a bit stiff but overall perfect to play, I admit that sometimes I got a bug or a glitch, but I don't mind It cause it was at a moment when you were either dead or you were walking around and some of the enemies were buggin a bit, overall I highly recommend this game to those who want to play it on the ps4 (pro)… Expand

Some homophobic / transphobic etc and some who didn’t like that it didn’t have a happy ending where Joel survived. The raw emotion I felt, how uncomfortable I felt for some of the intense fight scenes (namely - Abby / Ellie at the very end ) was incredibly moving. I can’t remember the last time a game made me feel that way. Ellie broke the cycle of revenge, and I personally don’t think I can like Abby as she never felt any regret for any of her actions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That's just my opinion. I think either this or cyberpunk 2077 will be the game of the year. It's 100%. The game's graphics are amazing (especially in the rain). I'd rather tell you in advance but I read a lot of walkthroughs and articles about the game. He became inhuman, true to his predecessor, the atmosphere was barely dark. It’s not a zombies game like dead rising (so we fight it out with a chainsaw) but here too you can do the task out loud. Since I don’t have a ps4 so I asked my friend to share his opinion. I also understood one of it ... The story didn't become a big release. However, the way the 2-thread (Elie and Abby's thread meet once) is something brilliant. Just like the gameplay itself. The graphics say it again but something inhuman. Luckily, I avoided the spoilers so every single moment came unexpectedly. Many people say to rewrite the end of the game (or get a DLC like the Left Behind did). The object of the game is to say even the genius. We get Abby and Elie. They both lost a lot. We get the cause and effect of the revenge campaign for both characters. While Abby realizes sooner that this makes no sense, Elie eventually realizes that she has already lost everyone and everything. So it all made no sense. While Elie was completely ruined, Abby found a goal for herself. And his goal is to protect Lew (sorry but I don’t know how to describe it well). I think Elie pardoned Abby because she realized that she wouldn't have a better spiritual world, that Joel could never come back again and that night when Elie didn't forgive Joel but she wanted to start again ... In this world there is neither good nor bad. Everyone acts, throws the threads. Elie eventually gets out of the vicious circle. This game is a perfect ending to this generation. You have to play this game, you have to immerse yourself in the story. I may never try this game but we will remember this game for 100% of the time for a very long time. Thanks to Nauthy Dog for making this masterpiece.… Expand

    After replaying the first game only days before playing part two the jump in quality was incredible. Every aspect of the game is a major improvement over the first. The gameplay is much more fun now the ability to go full on prone has made such a big difference especially for those that like to go as stealth as possible. Shoot-outs are the best and most action packed I have experienced in a third person game some of them are so good they look choreographed.

    Graphics and sound top-notch not getting any better from this generation of consoles. Let them do all the talking for themselves.

    Naughty Dog have gone above and beyond with the details in this game. They have added things that are not necessarily needed but the fact they put the effort into adding them just you have got to give them massive respect for that. The little guitar simulator thing they do with Ellie is such a cool touch to the game. Check out covers people are making on YouTube using it, amazing.

    The story has divided many people but I personally thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I would say it takes a lot for me to get invested in a story whether is being TV or films. But the way this story is told by naughty dog really gripped me and I binged through the game over five days with an ending playtime of 35hours. I normally begrudge paying £55 for any video game but for 35hours plus all the effort and hard work that they must have put into this game I feel that is money well spent.

    I'm probably going to end up playing it again and maybe make it my first PS4 platinum trophy.

    I went into this game without seeing any reviews and after playing it and seeing the low reviews scores I'm wondering have I missed something. Maybe I'm just too dumb to see how crap this game.

    But this is the best game I've played this gen or probably ever. I'm hoping for some story DLC or even a PS5 version even if that means paying again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never reviewed a game but you gotta start somewhere right.
    So, here's the deal. This game is great. It's emotional, it's brutal, it's challenging, and it's incredibly detailed. Guess what, it's 2020 and the game features LGBTQ+ characters? Who would have thought it...anyone that takes offence to this is very narrow minded and doesn't deserve to comment on the game, but that's just my opinion. It shouldn't be up for discussion and I commend Naughty Dog's dedication to include this in such a high profile game. The end.
    The story is lengthy and incredibly well thought out. There is another obvious 'controversial' moment of shock near the beginning - Joel's death. Yep, I definitely came across this when these details were leaked and I was devastated, but I didn't read any more into it, so I didn't know the specific details. Playing it for the first time was tough to watch and incredibly emotional. I thought the way in which it was shown was powerful and struck the right balance of violence and emotion, especially seeing it through Ellie's eyes.
    This definitely had to happen in order to push the game in a new direction, otherwise it would have just been a retread of the first. I didn't necessarily want to play as Joel again with Ellie by my side - we've been there.
    There's a point in the game where you begin to play as new character Abbey. Rather than it being a short segment, you very quickly realise this is gonna be half the game. I didn't connect at first because I struggled to empathise with a character who had just killed Joel. However, as the gameplay went on, I understood what was being done, and what we got was a very padded and relatable character. She isn't massively different from Ellie, it just took time to understand her motives. I think from the point I realised her dad was killed by Joel, I understood why we needed this version of events. This part of the gameplay was needed to steer the game from being a one sided revenge story.
    Everything else about the game is fab - the combat is hugely satisfying and I definitely feel like there's more of an option in how to handle a particular encounter. I generally went in all guns blazing, but I like the emphasis on being able to completely sneak past and avoid combat.
    The encounters with the infected were terrifying. My first time with the stalkers genuinely scared me. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure out how I was going to push forward without screaming out loud. There's also a new member of the infected family which was a surprise. It was tense and exciting and it came at a good point in the game. The visuals are fab. The ability to go off and explore at certain points allows the player to witness scenes and moments that could otherwise be completely missed.
    I just loved the game. There are definitely weak points - as much as I love Naughty Dog's approach, I do sometimes find the slower paced elements a little dull. I get that they help us build more human connections with the characters, but sometimes the pacing can be off. Apart from this, they've done it again. The only reason I wanted to post a review was because of all the negative ones I've seen. I don't understand, it baffles me. I realise many are attached to these characters and accepting a new approach is difficult, but I really believe this had to happen to allow part 2 to stand on its own feet. And as I mentioned, the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters is so important in this day and age, and it should just be as "normal" as any heterosexual characters. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DISCUSSION ON THIS. DO NOT form your opinion based off of these negative reviews. Play the game with an open mind and you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

La historia toca temas adultos y al fin nos acerca al avance y ventaja que tienen las series y películas en este tema. Los personajes primarios y secundarios son inmersivos y el juego se da el tiempo de que los conozcas muy bien, de que entiendas sus motivaciones para que los odies o lo ames y en monentos ambas. El único aspecto que reprocharia es el de la inclusión. Me parece perfecto que esta exista en los juegos, pero no era necesario que prácticamente todas las minorías estuvieran presentes al mismo tiempo, pues le da un sabor a forzado. El juego es un adelanto a nuestros tiempos, como siempre, y se aleja de las historias tipo Disney en dónde los personajes "buenos" son 100% buenos y además inmortales y en cambio, toma una línea más realista como lo hizo GOT en las series masivas. A quién no le guste esta vertiente siempre van a tener a Rayman.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great characters and story. Characters develop in an interesting way. Even Joel, who we see in flashbacks. Ppl complain that he said his name to Abby. But he is more relaxed now, living in Jackson for 4 years and having a 2nd chance to be a father. Glad he is not the exact same grieving, hurt and distrustful character he was in the first game. Abby changes a lot during the story, eventually trying to redeem herself (including for killing Joel), turning her back on the WLF to help the runaway scars. Ellie's character changes too, as we see her descend into darkness. The ending is amazing. Ppl complain that you had to kill all sorts of people just to get to the end and you don't kill Abby. Well, all those others were hunting you down, were part of a vicious military group or part of a cruel cult. They knew the risks. In fact, that is what makes the ending so powerful, that Ellie is finally able to let it go. Those same ppl complain there is no character development. What greater character development can there be than to have Ellie forgive Abby? This game is about forgiveness as much as it is revenge. Every scene in the game casts a mood over the player. Every action scene is like a really fun puzzle, at least on survivor mode. So re-playable. My fav game ever.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Честно, игра не 10/10 , но уж точно и никак не 0/10. В ней есть проблемы в плане затянутого геймплея , непонятных сюжетных ходов и другово. Но в целом игра замечательная. Но основной хейт к игре ( но не весь. Конечно, в игре есть и обьективные проблемы ) связан с двумя сюжетными ходами: смертью Джоэла в начале и с тем, что в середине игры мы начинаем играть за Эбби. Но если кому-то захотелось поиграть в игру, где мы снова за Джоэла и Элли в команде проходим сложные жизненные препятсвия, можете переиграть в первую часть. Это же новая игра, с абсолютно другой историей. На счет игры за Эбби, это же было сделано как раз для того, чтобы обьяснить мотивацию персонажа и , понятное дело, заставить нам ему сопереживать. Ясное дело, что как только нам дают управление за нее, мы относимся к ней крайне негативно и думаем что ни в коем случае не будем ей переживать. И по-моему многие кто говорят про то, что их разочаровало, что игроку дают управление за Эбби, просто не прошли игру до конца. Конечно можно не начать ей сопереживать, но уж хотя бы перестать ее ненавидеть, отчего концовка уже и не кажется такой нелогичной.
    И может бы и стоило добавить в конце возможность выбора, но тогда бы потерялась сама суть самой игры: last of us это как фильм, где мы проживаем моменты жизни вместе с героями и налаживаем с ними тесную эмоциональную связь, наблюдая за всеми их действиями и принимая их.
    Мне же игра вполне понравилась, хотя там и есть понятные проблемы, ввиде затянутости геймплея , слишком невнятных смертях , которые ты толком не успеваешь осознать и в других вещах. Но так же в ней есть и множество хороших вещей. Игра явно запомнится мне на долгое время, оставив после себя определенные эмоции и мысли, на счет которых начинаешь задумываться.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us shook me to my core. I set out angry and in pain for Ellie. Joel was brutally murdered and we needed justice. I buckled in because Ellie and I had a long road ahead of us. When game started coming to a head I was disappointed. Was this really the end? Was Ellie destined to set of for Jackson? Were we unable to obtain justice for Joel’s death? Was all of the violence she caused and pain she went through for naught? Naughty Dog said sike, this is just the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with it. Abby is the villain! She was evil, why did I have to play as her? I would force her to look over heights just to get a giggle (I’m afraid of heights myself so I started to feel bad). That hatred turned into compassion, and then understanding. Naughty Dog had me shouting a character’s name joyfully, angrily, and calling it out in pained sadness. By Santa Barbara I was hoping the two women who had lost everything because of vengeance could find common ground and end the cycle of pain. I myself was emotionally exhausted. On the beach I was pleading, crying, screaming for Ellie to stop. Every press of square took something from me. As the rest of the cinematics played out I reflected on their stories. I reflected on myself. This game challenges you, forces you to take part and push through. It makes you question yourself and your motives. Every single person that starts this game needs to finish it. You go from an active participant to an unwilling accomplice, at least I did. The Last Of Us 2 just revolutionized the game industry. I didn’t even begin to touch on all of the wonderful details, nuances, and incorporations in this game. It changed me, and quickly became my favorite game. I’m excited to see what they do next because TLOU is more than a game, it is art.… Expand

    It's such a shame so many are criticizing this in such bad bad faith. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T "AGREE" WITH STORY CHOICES DOES NOT MAKE BAD WRITING. It's so clear since the release that the leaks (and the month afterwards) festered fans groupthink and confirmation bias into bombing a labor of love for thousands of people. No amount of context could ever change their opinion, which is such a shame.

I want to start off by talking about the core of TLOU and what my biggest issue was with this game, the narrative. Now I didn’t hate the story in this game, I still really liked it but it’s not what I expected or wanted. I wanted a continuation of Joel and Ellie’s story, I wanted more from those two and that was it. Instead we are delved into a much more ambitious dual character story, and one that isn’t as wholesome, even for the apocalyptic hell this game takes place in. This story is one of revenge, that’s how I’ll leave it to avoid spoilers. Some of the choices made by the writers definitely weren’t traditional and there were parts where I wish they were. They also, I feel, let a character die in a less than fitting way, forgetting what what this character knows and has been through. However, that characters death sets the narrative into place and I won’t lie made me the most emotional I’ve ever been from a video game. Ellie of course is at the helm of this story, along with a new character by the name of Abby. Many new characters are introduced in this game and I definitely grew to love a few, Jessie, Manny, Lev and even Abby. Ellie’s girlfriend in this game, Dina, is one that I didn’t quite enjoy. Their chemistry wasn’t nearly as good or authentic as Ellie and Riley from the first games DLC. Even though I may not have liked all the characters I have to say how well performed every single character is by some of the most talented voice actors in the world, especially Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson. Now gameplay in this game is very similar to the first game just with more mechanics and a completely realistic overhaul to nearly every action in the game. Combat is brutal and realistic, traversal and exploration has been turned up, shooting feels heavy and every scenario can be handled in what feels like dozens of ways. More in the comments-… Expand

    I dedicated my time looking for every inch in the game to appreciate the details, I was amazed by the details on Ellie’s feelings and how her expression perfectly described that, I remember seeing Dina’s face and recalling a Jordanian friend whose name was also Dina, and how middle eastern both looked. I appreciated going back to the weapon and upgrading system, it felt organically well. I recorded the sound of preparing a Molotov bomb, the sound of the gasoline being poured in the bottle is like “Sound porn”. How the backpack reacted to Ellie’s movements, how can you tear apart with the suffering, the fear of being spotted, the sadness and desperation of your actions, the unease of knowing you will do something that isn’t nice to digest. How stressful the music makes you feel when enemies are around and then the perfect pauses where you learn more about the characters, and what drives them to do what they do.

The story is shocking and real.

You really connect with Ellie and Abby as they go through their journeys. The hurt, struggle, regret, fear and all the other emotions you take on personally while playing. Never have I ever had that happen in a game before. It's truly a masterpiece. Highly recommend it you won't want to put it down. I give is 5… Expand

    Not perfect, but not that bad either... the graphics and gameplay are great and the story is bold but no where near as bad as people are making it out to be. It’s not perfect but it’s very very far from bad.

    El juego fue realmente increíble, la jugabilidad es fantástica al igual que la banda sonora. El modo en que contaron la historia fue riesgosa, pero la amé, te deja ver el punto de vista de ambos lados y eso es increíble. El final es realista y muy conmovedor. 10/10!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us gave us an exploration of characters who we came to understand deeply throughout the time that we spent with them. In Part II, we are shown that careful characterization from all sides of conflict. Ellie is no longer the hero, but rather just a lost character desperately trying to do something that would make her life "mean something." The only way she can fathom to do this is to seek revenge for Joel's death by understanding what Joel was, because she was hurt by his actions, rather than what Joel has become after they settled in Jackson.

    Contrast this with Abby's character, which mirrors Joel's, we understand the confusion and guilt that can lead to a change of heart and return to humanity for the character. Ellie may be the one with the moth tattoo. But she spends the entire game failing to "follow the light." She fails at every turn and is punished for it as she puts the people around her in danger. Abby on the other hand, grows throughout the game to understand that she doesn't have to lose hope. There is still light for her to follow. The last shot of the game, with the moth on the guitar and Ellie in the background shows that she has finally accepted Joel for what he grew to rather than as a product of his horrific past. She accepts her last memories of Joel and then goes off into the world to follow the light and do right by him. So damn good man.

    Game play is actually fun this time around. Previously, combat felt slow and frustrating. Now, you are given freedom to approach encounters with enemies in a variety of ways. When gun fighting really kicks up, things feel frantic and rushed. The improved movement and aiming help to sell this as you can move in and out of hand to hand, to range fighting, to running away seamlessly. All the while the game maintains a brutal realism through the weight behind each action. Killing in hand to hand takes time and is messy while firing at range is high stakes to make each shot count.

    10/10. Seeing these two characters grapple with ideas of maturity in a world where childhood was never afforded to them is painful to watch in such a meaningful way. Beyond that game play is enjoyable this time around the length and variety present in the game absolutely makes it worth every penny.

    Naughty Dog cut out the crunch time in your games. People deserve better than that.    … Expand

    After two hours into the title, and how the story unfolds at this point, I really was confused if the game could really hook me. I love the first game, but this one is a different beast. What followed was an emotional rollercoaster ride that wasn't always on par with my expectations. This is basically the Game of Thrones of Videogames.

I love the first game, but this one is a different beast. What followed was an emotional rollercoaster ride that wasn't always on par with my expectations. This is basically the Game of Thrones of Videogames. You will hate the developers and also the characters for some of the decisions they made and make in the game. However, if you get involved into the story they wanna tell, you will have an absolute blast. This story isn't about hope, it's not about fun - it's a story about revenge and defeat. In the end, I must admit, that I also love this continuation of the whole story. While I'm not into what some of the characters may have become, but I'm looking forward to what awaits them in the future. You absolutely should give this game a try.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really thoroughly enjoyed this game.. The graphics are some of the best and the combat is good step up from the first with the introduction of tall grass, crouching and silencers adding a lot of depth to the game play. At first I didn't like the story and was ready to put the controller down when I realized I was going to play as Abby for half the game. But somehow they made me care and sympathize with her and her friends. This is a story about forgiveness and revenge and I think Naughty Dog did a great job at telling it.… Expand

    Perfect sequel to a perfect game.
    Cinematics, Graphics, Gameplay, everything off the charts. Story might not be what everyone expected it to be but in my opinion there's nothing wrong with anything the story and the characters went through.

    TLOU is my favorite game. Obviously I should have high expectation for Part II. I went in knowing as little as possible. I managed to not be spoiled at all. The game was enjoyable in all aspects.

    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]
