    A meticulously crafted sequel that packs more narrative punch than the original and fine-tunes the hide and seek gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El videojuego es un 10/10. Creo que es peor comparado al anterior. Pero sigue siendo una obra maestra. Por la historia que es el punto principal es que esta flojo. Pero cumple con todo lo demás que debe de tener un videojuego de single player. Buenos gráficos. EN PS5 puede ir a 1440p/60hz constantes. Unos gráficos buenis y en PS5 son mejores ligeramente. Esta optimizado y es con 24+ horas de juego además de que vale la pena más que nada a 20$ o menos mejor. Pero es una maravilla de videojuego y no te dejes llevar por la crítica. El juego es un 10/10 Expand

    Un juego sobreodiado por una bola de nieve de hate por no ser el juego feliz y satisfactoria como se pensaba. Toma riesgos constantemente que, a mi parecer, lo hace tan realista y orgánico que puede llegar a hacer el dolor, algo encantador. Una ola de emociones (malos o buenos) que en pocos juegos se llega a sentir.

    Мені дуже сподобався геймплей у грі, він залишився таким яким і був у першій частині, медитативний.
    Це дуже круто, хоча я хотів би бачити ПОВНУ українську локалізацію.

    Сюжет не проревний, але цікавий та не дає змоги тобі наскучіти.

    Плюси на мінусі.
    [+]
    Графіка - найкрасивіша гра до сьогоднішнього дня яку я знаю на консолях.
    Сюжет - хочеться щось сказати але це вже спойлери, він цікавий та відповідає питанням першої частини. Персонажі - безсумнівно персонажі як були добре прописані у першій частині так і тут, за ними цікаво спостерігати.
    Штучний інтелект - зомбі стали хардконішими, люди стали більш розумними, але до ідеала далеко.
    Звук та звукове сопроводження - шорохи, клацання від шаркунів, звуки нестачі повітря після удушення людини - все це дуже сприяє на атмосферу яка у цій грі ще більщ крута.
    Атмосфера - зелений фільтр гри моментами надає «вау» ефект, велике місто дає ефект самотності..
    [-]
    Штучний інтелект - став плюсом якщо порівнювати з першою частиною, але усе ж не ідеал.
    Українська локалізація - відсутність.
    Відсутність вибору у грі - це самий великий мінус, мені хотілося вибирати у деяких випадках, хоча би зробили один вибір на кінці гри щоб було 2 кінцівки.

    If you are really considering playing this game, I can tell you that it is worth playing. But the characterization is really terrible and unacceptable. Unfortunately, even so, this game is still worth giving this score

    Played on Playstation 5 for the first time, so enjoyed it with 4K upscaling (not sure if it's native) and 60fps. Part 2 is simply Part 1 but improved in every way. For me it is impossible not to give it a 10. An unprecedented and equal play experience.

    I have beaten this game more than 10 times and will play more. There are not a lot of decent single-player games with this attention to detail and with no greedy microtransactions and broken everything (hello EA). The gameplay is fantastic, and the story is not as good as the first game, but it is still one of the best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah the last of us part 2 had the best story I've ever played, it was an amazing game, if Ellie killed Abby she would have made the same mistake joel and Abby committed, as Abby's revenge didn't fix any if her personal problems going on internally and externally, in top of that ellies story mirror's nathan drakes pursued of treasure as nathan drake puts the people he cares about in danger for worthless treasure, in the end nathan leaves tge treasure in the past in order to care about his family, just like ellie leaves her revenge nehind. Abby's story mirror Joel's from the last of us part 1, the story starts with losing a loved one and growing as a person after meeting a little kid that sufferes from external and internal problens as lec lost his sister and ellie lost her best friend before meeting joel. Ellies decision in the end shows growth and selflessness as she acknowledges that every person makes decisions based on circumstance and how Abby has so much in common with joel and she would be committing the same action Abby committed that affect ellie in the begging of the second game. Joel's decision in the end of part 1(2013) serves as an opposite to Peter's decision in the end of Marvel's spiderman(2018). It is all about putting other people's circumstances into consideration abd growing as a person and lifting your self abd the people around you rather than harming the world you were brought into.

    A story of revenge that becomes a lesson in obsession and forgiveness. It's a rehashing of violence begetting violence, but also showing that good deeds can be contagious.

It’s also que question if this game is really an entertainment product? It made me feel bad, depressed, tired and relived during the pauses and when I’ve finished it. But the fact is that Naughty Dog made something unique here, nobody can deny that.

    PROS
    Unique Story
    Unique gaming experience
    Best last gen graphics
    Great animations
    Nice combat and enemies

    CONS
    Overall, it could be a little shorter.
    The game negatively influences with your mood.

    This game was amazing, its not Last of Us 1 but its has its own journey its own story its own character development. Don't listen to all the view bombers who watched YouTube content creators give their opinion then they came here to quote the exact words of the content creators. At least rent the game and give it a shot for yourself.

    I’m speechless, but in a good way and I feel like most stuff has been said by many people already.

I’ve really tried understanding the perspective of players who hated or disliked the whole experience strongly, but I just can’t get behind that. If you’re looking for a feel-good father daughter banter road trip, this ain’t it. And if you feel betrayed by anything this game presents you really should work on broadening your horizon or at least trying to get behind the creators intentions. For me this game celebrated the first part in every breath it took. Yes there we’re parts that dragged at first or felt eye rolling in the sense of “I see what you’re trying to do here Naughty Dog, but it won’t work”. But if your willing to hear the story out and try to get behind characters motivation and feelings, you’ll have one of the most enriching experiences in media as a whole of the last few years. For me it was the most profound and cathartic gaming experience I ever had. Expand

    I actually enjoyed it, completed in 29 hours on hard. I had fun and was immersed for the duration. There was some questionable plot handling in the intro,and a bit of story dragging near the middle, but I respect the risks taken and am throughly impressed with the technical marvel and visual beauty of this sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can always tell when the internet plans a review bomb, and honestly it's **** sad really. The entirety of LOU has 10k reviews... this has 60k in 3 days lol, so I don't put any stock into the internet troll jobs that are trying to tank this game.

    This game isn't a masterpiece, let's get that out of the way. It has an innate flaw built into the story in that it is attempting to build empathy and tell the story from both sides of the coin. In essence, Ellie isn't the protagonist, and Abby isn't the antagonist, these are two people born into a brutally violent world. Both are on the warpath, on quests of revenge after having things done to them that entirely destroy their family, and both are unique in they were powerless to stop it from happening. This game is best boiled down to a tale of two people on a quest of acceptance in finding peace with what the world has done to them, and to ultimately find empathy, and the story works incredibly well. My only real complaint with the story isn't the story itself, but rather the amount of time invested into having to play Abby. Literally half the game is from her perspective. I understand the need for symmetry in a story like this, but I would have preferred a longer more Ellie focused approach, 65/35, 70/30 would have been enough to get the point across I feel. The game play mechanics are smooth, polished, and well done, and the horror elements are there like always, specifically in the hotel/hospital sequences with Abby, those were terrifying, and RAT KING!!! HOLY MOLY!! WOW! As for the people whining about gay relationships etc., politics., I'm a Southern Conservative from Texas, registered Republican, and there was nothing in this game that I remotely considered in your face. The game handled it's messaging well, without being overtly in your face about it.

    Overall, the game is a solid 25 hours if you move through the story at a decent pace, and one that I greatly enjoyed. It's not perfect though as I've said. The Abby length of play reminded me of Metal Gear Solid: 2, thought not near to that extreme, and I wish we had more time with Ellie. I do admit though, I ended up liking Abby, felt her struggle/pain, and empathized with her the more time I spent with her, so the idea of telling the story from both angles worked well, though I do with it were a bit shorter.

    9.0/10, really solid, fun, ambitious as hell game.

    The story is great, the acting is top notch and the character development is amazing.

    If I had to find some negative aspect, I think the "third act" of the game was a bit rushed and It could have probably been more satisfying if done with a little less rush.

    Certainly a must have.

The story gets review bombed by the hate parade & that’s unfortunate. There were rumors & hate groups came out in force but ignore that stuff. Living with hate makes you miserable, sucks the energy out of you. This game is super fun & the TLOU universe continues with an outstanding story. I think most people dislike the game because it’s not the game they would have written & it makes them feel angry. I’d argue in this case it’s just good storytelling (trying to avoid spoilers here). It’s not always going to work but I genuinely had my feeling change as the story progressed. Let’s be clear & state that at the end I 100% understood the story. I was emotionally confused which in this case is a good thing IMHO. I wasn’t sure if I was angry or felt complete. Was a bit confused as to who I was angry with. Do I have new friends & family or enemy’s. The story is clear but my feelings were stirred up. The story made me think about many things & look at the characters differently. If you loved Part 1 for the story & the emotions it make you feel this game do that & more. Play the game with an opened mind & you’ll have a fantastic ride. Expand

People seem to have issues with the story, i however really enjoyed it. Like many others, I despised Abby at first for what she did to Joel. But through playing her, I grew to enjoy her character. To the point where I didn't want Ellie to actually go after her and let it go. Great writing overall. The only real gripes that I have with this game is that the combat could feel clunky at times, especially during boss fights or when hordes of infected rush you. And the AI didn't feel that great, especially friendly AI when you ended up in combat, or when you wanted to silently take down enemies alongside the friendly AI, which is done in more scripted sequences.

    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...
