    emotionally a masterpiece that blurs the view of right and wrong. absolutely authentic

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Просто перед выходом the Last of of ll, ND надо было выпустить отдельную игру про Эбби. Влюбить игроков в неё так же, как в Джоэла и Элли. Ну а потом уже выпускать part ll. Скажу честно, я просто не мог играть игру, это очень тяжело. Когда играешь за Эбби, и бьёшь Элли: я просто специально пару часов умирал за неё, потому что я не мог совершать те действия, которые мне навязали! Игра оставила двоякие впечатления, но все же, ND молодцы в плане гейм дизайна и жуткой атмосферы, которая держит до самого конца игры. Надеюсь студия выпустит часть, где главный герой Эбби, чтобы она смогла приглушить ту боль, что принесла ИГРА! Naughty Dog Plz translate my opininion and MAKE A NOTE IT!!!… Expand

    Mi è piaciuto molto.i personaggi sono caratterizzati molto bene, la storia mi è piaciuta e trovo veramente molto bello il finale
    Il doppiaggio in inglese è perfetto quello in Italiano non mi piace molto specialmente per la scelta della voce di Dina. Comunque lo consiglio a tutti.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No entiendo porqué tanto revuelo para el juego.
    El juego es de lo mejor hecho para PS4, sólo porque hayan matado a Joel temprano, no significa que ya nada del juego sirve, el juego está impecable en todo sentido, la historia es muy buena y jugable, por más que la quieran destrozar. Sí tengo que decidir entre la narrativa del 1 y este, me quedo con el 1. Pero eso no le quita mérito, esta historia está muy al nivel de cualquier otra. Además cualquier apartado del juego destaca brillantemente, empezando por los enormes gráficos, que están pulidos a más no poder; la banda sonora, que en otra entrega más vuelve a sorprender; la jugabilidad que si bien, es muy parecida a la anterior, es mucho más fluida, inmersiva y intuitiva, creo que mejorar más de lo que ya era, era extremadamente complejo, y lo lograron, tal vez, no en la mejor medida, pero esto convence y mucho.

    Obviamente la flaqueza del juego es su guión... Personalmente me dolió la despedida de Joel tan cruel, y muy injusta, como para el personaje que era en la saga, pero que sí te pones a pensar, no era algo de extrañar, principalmente por todos los enemigos que hizo en la primera entrega debido a su brutalidad....

    Y bueno... El final es otro punto que no tocaré ya que sé que muchos no han jugado el juego.

    Personalmente pienso que sí no has jugado el juego, o simplemente te han dicho que es malo, por esto y por lo otro, no lo critiques, cuando lo hayas jugado y hayas tú mismo sentido la experiencia te darás cuenta que el juego es una joya.    … Expand

Lo unico que falla es que lo han puesto muy politico. La gente se queja de que muera Joel a las pocas horas de empezar el juego de una forma antiheroica, y me parece bien, todos los juegos y peliculas nos hacen ver que los protagonistas mueren como heroes, y no tiene porque ser así, han hecho que muera como una persona mas en un mundo postapocaliptico, lo que busca la gente es sobrevivir y si muere una persona es una muerte más. Como cuando matas a un enemigo y un compañero suyo lo descubre grita su nombre y a veces se pone a llorar, solo buscan sobrevivir como todos hariamos en es un mundo detruido.… Expand

They dont treat Joel, a 60+ year old man who used to kill and steal from inocents, as a demigod so loved that he can trick death, insted they kill him as the human he is. I also enjoyed Abby's story, as it shows us how after all she is just as Joel, a survivor that eighter kills or dies and will do anything for his group. The end is the most logical move they could make. Ellie finally sees what she did, and understands killing Abby wont change anything, so she breaks the vengeance loop that started with the death of Abby's dad. The end is probably the most symbolic part, as it shows Ellie leaving Joel's guitar behind. Overall a pretty good story, no matter how much you loved Joel… Expand

    I'll be brutally honest. This is a good game though not a great one(like the first). It has amazing level desing,good world building and an amazingly bleak atmosphere. The gameplay is like the first with few minor improvements. The main issue is is in the story. Three parts of the story in specific. The other 90% is good enough but those three parts really drag it down. The first is theI'll be brutally honest. This is a good game though not a great one(like the first).

    It seems like a lot of these reviews were written before players would even have a chance to complete the game. The deeper narrative here is just so well done. And you are pulled through tons of emotions during the 20+ hours of active game play, where the consequences of your choices will have you question right and wrong.

    Do yourself a favor, and play this game.

I feel like a lot of the unfavorable reviews are either because the narrative has been politicized (which to a certain extent it was but come on lets be real we all had a feeling Ellie was lesbian lol) or because Joel died and they didn't want him to. Its the fact that Joel dies and that half the game you have to play as his killer that triggers people. He did die in a kind of stupid way but the writing and story was pretty realistic otherwise in my opinion. It was perhaps too realistic, violent, and bleak for some though. So ig if you're a liberal that likes controversial plots then this game is for you but otherwise ig not lollol… Expand

    That doesn't mean the whole game is bad, the conversations come across and cringe as well as forced at times, like "Thanks, babe".... however the gameplay and cinemeatic experince is on point and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy playing the game.

I really liked the game and I advise everyone to buy it, because such games are extremely rare for obvious reasons related to their development. The game shows that the people who created the game put their soul into it. The LGBT agenda is there, but it’s very insignificant and you even don’t notice, because the summons in other games are much more obvious and spoil the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know How to Rate this Game, so I'm gonna break it down.
    1st Technically:
    I Encountered 3 Times Texture Load in, 1 Time a Prop popped in and popped out regarding to the degree you looked at it, 1 Time Texture Clipping in a Place you you probably shouldn't even go. So that's a Solid 5 "Bugs" I encountered which is really good and impressive. Loading Times if you Play the Game in one Piece are 0, and you don't even know when something is loading, but you realise when you open a cold Save how much the Game hast to Load.
    For that I Give the Game 9,9/10.

    2nd Visuals:
    The Game looks Gorgeous, the best a Game has ever looked on PS4, the Characters are amazingly Designed and Detailed. The World is Rich and Beautiful and the Zombie's are what bad Dreams are made off.
    A solid 10/10.

    3rd Gameplay:
    So the Main Gameplay Loop is, Go somewhere, find a way in Kill some People, story sequence and go again. Till the End it doesn't feel exhausting or to repetitive so that's good but I wish the made the ending come a bit faster, did not enjoy the last 3 Hours marching to the end, but fine. You can fine tune your difficulty Settings to your liking, more Loot but hardest Enemies, easy sneaking but if they find you you Dead, or hard sneaking with forgiving enemies. It's all there.
    The Survival Mechanic is very similar to the first one but a bit tweaked, You can choose different approaches to every fight, tho when you do it loud there are more enemies to fight then when you sneak. Weapon Ammo is very low even on the lowest Loot difficulty, you probably gotta use multiple weapons in one encounter, but you can mostly refill after them According to your loot difficulty. Capacity Upgrades don't let you hold more Ammo, just more in one magazine.
    I love the Guitar Minigame where you can play 30 Accords and every string solo. It's beautiful.
    So Gameplay Wise 9.1/10.

    4th Story:
    It left me Numb Laying in my Bed for hours. I did not enjoy the Ending. I did not enjoy the Character switch at first but I got warm with it, The Story punches you in your gut multiple times out of nowhere and so hard you can't even react to it. It's all fine till the End, A new Group just for a broken Ellies Revenge Trip? A Broken and Hatred filled Tommy that flames Ellie? I say No No. All the friends you had Killed and only one is left for both Sides ok I can Dig that, loose everything, and give out mercy in the last Moment and go Love your Live in Peace.
    Let me Craft you a better Ending, Cut right before Tommy gets Revealed and let him Die, Cut to Abby and let them find the firefly's and let them drive off with the Boat, cut to Ellie going Upstairs to Play the Guitar and reveal that she forgave Joel and that he died in Peace with Ellie. Game Credits Role, end Screen you can see that the Boat from Abby landed in Catalina and you can know they made it. Everyone is Happy in the End, after all that loss and the final mercy you can Rest Now. That Would be a fantastic Ending, something with a Message, that you should forgive and show mercy. And not your beloved Main Character becomes the Villain gets left by everyone and then don't even gets Her full Revenge and is left alone.
    So I would give the Story with my Ending which just cuts the Broken Revenge trip and Tommy a Solid 9/10. With the Ending the Devs made, I can't I don't know with that Ending nothing matters that Happened it's 3/10 at best. You can't make her a villain and then **** out. Go Big or go Home.

    So with a 9.9/10, a 10/10, a 9.1/10 and an 3/10 that's 32/40 or 8/10. So it should be my Final Score.

    Would Recommend but don't Play the Ending or Close your Eyes and Ears when Tommy is there and Stop Playing after Abby finishes the Call with the firefly. Look up the Last scene with Joel and bam a very good Ending and Game.    … Expand

    The game is not as bad as it seems. Sure, the story could’ve been a bit better but it wasn’t overall that bad. I enjoyed the game a lot and am hoping for some more story dlc and maybe even return the multiplayer. Overall I think this game is a 10/10

    This game is getting an amount of hate that I find shocking and absurd. The gameplay has improved (in my opinion) with more items to craft and more skills to be learnt, and the graphics are stunning. The enemies are now stronger and harder to kill too, which adds appropriate tension and excitement for a survival game, as well as dread; there's also a bigger variety of infected, with more stalkers making an appearance as well shamblers.

    The thing people are getting mad about is Joel's death, which I understand because it was brutal and heart-wrenching. However, considering he killed over 100 people in just the first game which spanned over the course of a year, imagine how many more he killed in the remaining 20 years since the day the infection broke out... It's really awful to say but it was only a matter of time before someone tracked him down and killed him, and whilst it would be nice if he died defending Ellie, he was not a good man, and at some point those deaths he caused would come back around to bite him in the ass. Nothing is fair or nice in a post-apocalyptic world. So, yes his death was brutal and heartbreaking, but in a lawless world where it's kill or be killed, eventually if you keep racking up enemies you're gonna be on the receiving end of that stick. No reason to hate on a game and its developers just because your favourite character died. It's the apocalypse, **** happens and no one's ever safe.

    Another thing people got butthurt over is Ellie being gay. I won't go off on a tangent on that because that's stupid, if you're gonna refuse to play a brilliant videogame just because there's a gay couple in it you need to pull your head out of your ass and grow up. If it was a guy and a girl you'd have no problem so I don't see why it's "pushing an agenda" to have two girls dating in a videogame.

    As for the story, I found it masterful. We were initially presented with Abby, a character who we instantly hated because of her abuse of a golf club. I hated her too and couldn't wait to kill her, until I played as her and got to see her story; got to see her as a human who is more than just a villain, and I became attached to her and Lev. I think the game did a brilliant job of showing how quick we are to demonise someone who wrongs us even though we've only seen one side of the story. It makes me wonder what it would have been like if in the first game, rather than living the story of a man travelling with a girl across America and then changing his mind about delivering her, we had lived the story of a girl who found her dad (and countless colleagues) dead at the hands of a man who wasn't willing to give up the life of a girl for the sake of all of humanity. Would we have hated Joel and Ellie as we hated Abby? Would we have relished when Abby found and finally killed Joel? Everything is about perspective, and both Abby and Ellie are heroes in their own stories and villains in each others' for equally valid reasons. They both lost family and friends to the other but thankfully they both came out alive; it's just unfortunate that Ellie was consumed by her obsession with revenge. It was unexpected and sad, but then again the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak was also unexpected and quite horrific. Again, it's the apocalypse and **** happens.

    Overall, I've waited 7 years for this, and I'm absolutely not disappointed, thank you Naughty Dog for making yet again such a fantastic game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After finishing TLOU1 I totally expected what is going to happen in TLOU2. And I totally get it. TLOU2 was for me 21hours of one epic ride full of emotions and I'm super glad, that devs let us play as Abby to get to know her and see what happened on the other side of story.
    Graphic 10/10, Audio 10/10, Cast 10/10, Gameplay 10/10, Writting&Story 9,5/10 (only because I would like to know what happened to Ellie and Abby after this ending).

    For haters of this game -> Joel lovers.. I get it, but you are idiots if you rate this game badly only because he died...

    >Team Abby<
    She only revenged her father and let others lived. You can find out everything in part playing as her. She didn't intend to kill anyone except Joel since start.
    ...and there we have Ellie. Even after she found out that it's all about Fireflies revenge because of what Joel did. She is so dumb, she simply can't understand how much he **** up and doesn't realise Abby could be just someones daughter. So she is going to **** it up much more and kill every Abby's friend... 　
    In the end, they both lost everything because of Ellie's revenge(before it, it was only Joel and Abby's dad so 1:1). But I wished that only to Ellie after the Abby's part of the game.

    P.S. Don't get me wrong, I liked Joel, but he had to see it coming. :)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was great. The visuals were fantastic. The atmosphere was chilling. I was at the edge of my seat for most of the game. I can understand why people hate how the story played out. The story was conflicting to me but I liked it. I like the new elements added and the amount of customization in the settings to play your way. Custom controls. Aids. Visuals. It's a lot for a console game. The pacing was good. It got a bit slow before I realize I only had beaten half the game.

    Spoilers Below

    The game makes you see what happened from both protagonists perspective. You feel bad for Ellie. But it makes you also feel sympathy for Abby. It's so conflicting.

    You get so angry at Abby for killing Joel. And especially after Ellie let her live at the end. But you also have to remember, it was unfortunately Joel's actions that led to this. Joel stopped the vaccine from happening. He basically destroyed the fireflies. He killed Abby's father.

    And also remember, Ellie hated Joel for making the choice for her. She wanted to die on that table. Abby in turn for what she did, basically lost everything. Four of her friends were killed in the hands of Ellie and Tommy. And she got the crap beaten out of her to the point of pleading for her life.

    We all hate Abby for what she did to Joel. I cried when he died, but ultimately it was his own fault for what happened.

It’s ironic to me how many people complain about the social politics aspect of the game, and choose to hate it for that reason. Because ultimately it succeeds at the story it’s telling with or without those elements. It’s a very brutal game with a lot to say about the nature of vengeance. And frankly it handles it’s violent world better than the first game. It’s not necessarily meant to be “fun” but it’s definitely entertaining. Or engaging. Whatever term you prefer. As far as these negative reviews go, it kinda seems as though most of them are either complaining about a game they haven’t even played, or about the social political aspects (art is inherently political you jokers. Your own politics are your own problem.), or complaining about how depressing it is. I don’t really consider these complaints valid, because few games are made to this degree of quality or polish. And even fewer games tell stories with this amount of believable emotional depth. Oh yes, there are characters I dislike, and character decisions that pissed me off. But it all felt justified and real. (My biggest overall complaint from a plot/story perspective is that 20 or so years of post apocalypse in reality wouldn’t be enough for this level of societal degradation. Cults already having full blown martyrs, and referring to infected people as demons? Sooo ridiculous. Made the cult come off as a bunch of over enthusiastic LARPers. But that’s all theoretical.)

    From a gameplay perspective, it’s kinda silly how easily a crowbar can break, or how little ammo you carry. Yet you’ll have like seven different projectile weapons with you. Why would ammo ever be scarce in America? But these are minor complaints compared to the gameplay excellence on display in this game. It’s so damn smooth. The encounters have great variety. The locations and level design is top- notch. Even if I hated the game, I couldn’t justify not giving it a perfect score. At the very least, it’s one of the best designed games ever made, with a story crafted to be the purpose behind all of it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who didn't play the first TLOU but knows the story, I loved Part 2. A combination of good easy-to-learn gameplay controls, solid storytelling and beautiful graphics make for an enjoyable time. I can understand why many users have given negative feedback on the game, especially fans of Part 1. The main character from the original TLOU, Joel, who people fell in love with in the first installment gets killed off within the first few hours of Part 2. However, his death sets up the story line, changing it from a story of survival to a potential rampage for revenge for Ellie and her crew. Naughty Dog's decision to kill Joel isn't their way of writing him out of the storyline. It's their way of turning him into something bigger - a source of strength and courage the protagonists lean on while tackling the grueling and dangerous mission to seek revenge. Yes, the game starts off a bit slow. However, it speeds up quickly while allowing you ample time and opportunities to familiarize yourself with the game controls. Like all games, TLOU2 isn't without its own flaws. The combat sequences, especially when taking on more than one Infected can be improved with indicators of which direction enemies are attacking from. Another minor annoyance were some of the tasks required to unlocking doors, passageways, etc. Some of the "puzzles" were beyond frustrating to figure out, forcing me to put down the game for a bit to cool off before going back in - if Naughty Dog's intention was to irritate gamers by doing this, they succeeded with some of the required tasks. All in all, this game is worth the price of admission. It gives you the wheel to drive through an excellent movie-quality storyline, one that will grip you through intense moments all the way through the end. Part 1 was about love, Part 2's theme is revenge. Naughty Dog took a big risk in killing Joel, a bold move the audience should appreciate. They didn't play it safe, they made it clear everyone is fair game which adds another suspenseful layer. Accept this and you'll have a great time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not at all biased or even because TLOU is my favourite game of all time. I’ve debated whether or not I should write a review considering the overwhelming amount of cruel and negative reviews that are being bombed onto this game (IMO, I personally can’t understand why, but everybody feels differently I suppose right?)... anyways, when the trailer for TLOU2 dropped, I immediately knew that at some point, Joel was going to die. I didn’t know how or when in the game, I just knew that he would die. When I began playing it and he died a mere two hours in, I was shocked to say the least (and especially heartbroken), however, I didn’t see it as an issue. What did people expect, for Joel and Ellie to run through meadows holding hands and pick flowers? This game is about anger, loss and redemption. Many are complaining that Joel is “nothing like he was in the first game” and “too soft”- that’s because people change when they’ve finally found safety and security. In the first game, Joel was still in a mourning state of mind after the death of his daughter Sarah 20 years beforehand, even though he never wanted to face the fact that he was mourning, his past and everything he’d been through leading up to the events in the first game is what made him so stone-cold and ‘mysterious’ if you must say. He was lonely, didn’t have a secure or comfortable place to live (the man was in one of those dreaded QZ’s for gods sake), he’d narrowed himself down to shut everybody out and not trust anybody because of his enviroment. As we can all probablg imagine, the Joel we see in TLOU2 is the Joel we can imagine before the apocalypse with Sarah. He’d finally found a safe haven in Jackson, a place where he could finally bring himself to trust people again, be himself and relax for once. The fact that people find this so difficult to understand and criticise that it “should’ve been explained” takes my breath away, it’s right in front of you, right there. It shouldn’t need explaining. Back to his death, as tragic and horrifying as it was (being so early into the game)- the writers want you to feel the agony, feel the pain and rage of losing somebody so quickly in such a petty and pathetic way, they’re happy your angry because it proves that it worked. And it also means you’re relating to how Ellie feels as she has lost somebody she considered to be a father to her. As much as I admit that there were some plotholes throughout, they were minor and passable. Playing as Abby gives us a newborn perspective, we get to play as the enemy for once, give us this opportunity to see if we could end up developing some sort of care or love for this character that has destroyed this peaceful mentality for our beloved Ellie. I still hate Abby. I always will, however, I personally enjoyed playing as her, it allowed me to learn more about things such as the Seraphites and the WLF, allowed me to understand why Joel’s death actually happened (and why it may seem understandable.)- the gameplay, scenery, sound production and emotions were so brilliant and raw that I constantly found myself stopping for a moment to take it all in, allowing myself to near closer to my tv screen and stare, or sit on the edge of my seat from nervousness due to dramatically nerve-wracking moments.
    This game has made me laugh, cry, rage and scream, i’ve felt the emotions the character felt, it’s left me feeling somewhat empty with unanswered questions (much like our girl Ellie.) I feel in touch with those inside the game, and I truly did not expect anything else from Naughty Dog. Beautiful game with such a tragic and heart-wrenching story which I am for sure to re-play over and over again to allow myself to endulge in the world of the TLOU2. Thank you.    … 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]
