    The maps are incredible, each house seems to have a story to tell. The characters are dense, with layers of history to analyze. Artificial intelligence is superb. Depending on the enemy, he chooses the best approach to attack you. The graphics are the best of this generation. The soundtrack is exemplary, in a subtle way it makes the player more or less tense with the part he is playing. The game is dynamic, well-balanced in terms of action and loot scenes, with unusual moments to spike your mood.
    I strongly advise you to play this game. Congratulations Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    Been playing games since the NES days and this is one of the best games.
    Excellent story telling and visuals. Loved all the new characters introduced. I did have to put it down a few times since it’s pretty heavy on the “omg that was horrible” moments. That ending… damn. Magnificent.

Dont get enraged by the leaks because knowing the plot is not the same as playing the game. I understand the outrage towards this game as the narrative risks it takes would definitely not sit well with everyone but ND went with an approach of exploring the characters of TLOU world rather than simply rehashing the first game. The game makes you and Ellie want to get vengeance and sets you both on the same path. Instead of making the actions right/wrong, it explores the moral gray area which as you progress through the story makes you question yourself ]which I feel is genius. By the end you definitely would get a clear picture on what ND was trying to say and man does it work. It may not be the sequel one wants but it the sequel the first game deserves.… Expand

    The themes of suffering, hopelessness, and selfishness might be too intense for the general audience, but The Last of Us 2 narrative is brilliantly executed through it's graphics, gameplay, writing, and actor performances.

Una historia que se debe tomar como una evolución e involución de los personajes que estuvieron en un pedestal hasta ahora. Peca de tener momentos de gran acción para cambiar a una cuasi novela.

    The graphics are incredible and the different game experiences designed I really enjoyed.
    It's still a must play and without the pressure of being a sequel this would be an all time must play.

This game to me represents the single greatest achievement in gaming. As we have come to expect from Naughty dog the visuals and audio are top notch, but the story, oh my, the story. It is without a doubt the most emotional and gut wrenching rollercoaster ride any artistic medium has ever taken me on. Not only do they manage to make you hell bent on revenge that you will literally kill anyone and everyone to achieve it, they then make you able to relate and even feel sorry for the "villain," so much so that you even regret Ellie's decision to once again try and finish what she started. If you are at all on the fence about getting this game because of some of the bad reviews online, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this and play through the whole thing. You will not be disappointed. This game truly is a shining example of how video games can be so much more than just a fun time waster.… Expand

    Yes, as the one star reviews state, it does have a very controversial plot. For me, it's a masterpiece in story telling. Naughty Dog took a gamble here, and it's payout was immense. Like the first game, it's a story of violence, brutality and good people doing bad things. With people doing bad things, comes anger and hate but then remorse/guilt and ultimately redemption. How Naughty Dog uses their post apocalyptic world to massively amplify these emotions into a story filled with the best motion capture and acting I've seen in a game today, is just incredible.

Подача сюжета не всем понравится , но очевидно ясно о чем она , она нам рассказывает как Элли не успела сказать Джоэлу насколько он дорог ей и вот это чувство недосказанности будет ее преследовать всю жизнь. Думаю все же эта игра не совсем про месть как вам будет казаться , игра скорее всего нас учит тому что надо ценить близких вам людей потому что в любой момент их может не стать и вы не успеете им сказать то что вы к ним чувствовали . Те кто не поняли концовку почему Элли отпустила Эбби , в трейлере 2016 года когда Элли поет песню на гитаре над трупаи врагов , приходит Джоэл и говорит , что ты делаешь ? ты реально готова пройти через это? ну то есть очевидно нам хотят сказать что Джоэл не хотел чтобы она превратилась в такого монстра , хотя в принципе так и произошло . Но в конце когда Элли вспоминает Джоэла , тогда она окончательно понимает что он не хотел бы увидеть ее такой и хотя поздновато но останавливается оставив Эбби живой.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A stunning achievement on every level. The game is brave enough to confront the elephant in the room: Joel deserved to pay for his selfish act at the end of the first game. And boy does he pay! They have also populated this world with a far more interesting cast of characters: Abby, Dina, Lev and Mel are considerably more engaging and rounded than any of the side characters from part one. Jesse and Manny are slightly under-served, reduced to mere cyphers who are present only to support the female leads. But considering how often this has been the reverse over the years, we can forgive ND for this minor slight.

    Absolutely stunning visuals, level design, character models, etc. Sets the standards for games of the next generation.

    Gameplay: 9.5/10

    Some of the sequences near the end were a bit repetitive, but the vertical nature of combat, enhanced stealth options, dogs, enemy AI, etc. made it to where there was always danger near). I really enjoyed the additions of the stun bombs and silencers in particular. I think that really meshed well with gameplay options.

    Story: 9/10

    Is the story is compelling and moving as the first game? Not for me personally, but I don't even know if that was the intention of the story. Compared to Ellie and Abby, I've never experienced such great loss or yearned for revenge at all costs. I commend Naughty Dog for making these choices and characters relatable though and taking bold risks in their story.

    Some are comparing this game's story value to Season 8 Game of Thrones and The Last Jedi. I believe those comparisons are totally unfair. At no point in this game did I feel the need to suspend disbelief in order to understand a character's decision making. Characters certainly made decisions I did not support, and Naughty Dog masterfully used the agency involved with video games in order to better empathize with the actions of characters. I was absolutely fuming at Joel's death, but I also understood Joel had people on his bad side. I found Abby's story incredibly compelling, and I ended up rooting for her in a way. I obviously didn't want her to kill Ellie, but I certainly no longer wanted Ellie to exact retribution against Abby.

    The game is quite dark and speaks to the cycle of violence as been has discussed extensively. The lesson of forgiveness and ending the cycle of violence came with a supreme price as it often does: tons of death to people not directly involved.

    I also felt heavily connected to the new side characters, especially Dina, Jessie, Yara, Lev, and Owen. I feel this offered a ton of value to the growth of the characters and the plot itself. Although there were times early on in the game where talking about getting Dina back to Jackson felt repetitive and reminded me of Dutch's consistent "Tahiti" plan in RDR2.

    One thing with the story though that was difficult was being shown, in cut scenes, that actions of the playable character may not be justified from the other viewpoint. However, it was jarring at times to then go back into gameplay and start sneaking around, avoiding killing but obviously doing so at times. Now, similar to Joel, there are likely many people out in the world that want to kill Ellie, because she killed an NPC in this game who has hopes, dreams, and a family similar to Abby's dad in the first game, the surgeon.

    This game was complicated and dark, but I ultimately think it spoke largely to the glorification of violence in video games and the need for perspective. We can all be heroes and villains in a story based on perspective. In regards to games, the Last of Us 2's story has very VERY few peers and is a worthy sequel to the first game, which I consider to be my favorite game of all time.

    Overall, I'd give this a game roughly a 9.5 which isn't possible on metacritic, so I rounded up to 10 in order to offset some troll review bombing. In this, I'm assuming a scale of 0 to 10 where 5 is average. Very few games overall should receive 10s, but this is pretty damn close.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For these past few weeks, I've been giving up sleeping hours to use whatever "free time" I have during the night to indulge myself and experience what I believe is a landmark in interactive storytelling - the Last of Us: Part 2.

    Many people think modern video games are just glorified Pacman, electronic reflex spazzers with no essence or soul - far removed from literature, cinema or TV series. This cannot be further from the truth, and this game is a shining example of this fact. The Last of Us: Part 2 is one of the best story-driven epics any modern medium has to offer, and ranks among the the most memorable of any series, movies and literature that I have experienced in the past decade.

    Set in a post-apocalyptic United States suffering through a cataclysmic plague, the Last of Us: Part 1 was the story of two survivors - Joel, a man tasked with escorting a young girl, Ellie, across the United States - and the incredible hardships they face on their journey to a safe haven where a light at the end of tunnel might possibly be found, brought upon them by the effect of a deadly infection that has decimated the world. Infected humans litter the streets, having succumbed to a fungus that turns them into rabid monsters, while all civilization has broken down. While this is the backdrop, the Last of Us: Part 1 was a story of loss, a story of fatherhood, a story of acceptance and of hard choices, and ultimately - of hope.

    The Last of Us: Part 2 continues the story of these characters in this terrible world, but focuses on a different theme. As the game begins and the characters you love so much go through something unfathomable, you can't help but feel the blood running cold in your veins, as if your soul has left your body, as you just lust for a violent revenge and terrible retribution, but as Nietschze's famous quote goes:
    "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."

    The game's story is interestingly inspired by the head writer's experiences growing up in Israel. He recalls watching footage of the 2000 Ramallah lynching, where a Palestinian crowd killed and mutilated the bodies of two Israel Defense Forces reservists, and how, after hearing the cheering crowds, his mind turned to violent thoughts about bringing the perpetrators to justice. I am certain many Israelis have had the same thoughts. However, later comes the realization of the reality of the wishes we hope for and the choices we make, and the vicious cycle that is revenge.

    Keeping this in mind, the game dares and uses rhetorical devices and literary tools that would be complex for any author or director to utilize. As the narrative progresses, it causes you to question who you are and what you believe. The script is flipped on you, and you go through an emotional journey that is difficult but enlightening, in the end. This game is a bold and monumental undertaking, and is filled to the brim with a passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in storytelling. In my opinion, only interactive media can even attempt to create an experience quite like this.

    In the end, the Last of Us: Part 2 is a harrowing, meaningful, challenging and tragically exquisite story, and is a testament to the efficacy of video games as artistic expression.    … Expand

    This game needs to be played by those who can understand how the real world works but not by those who always want a good ending.
    If you want such games, go play Disney games, leave this game to adults.

    Graphics are maybe the best I've seen ever, music and sounds made perfectly.
    But the main aspect of The Last of Us Part II is a history.
    This is one of the most Anti-militaristic histories I know, with different, interesting characters and beautiful, but scary, world.
    I hope we'll see a worthy continue of the Last of Us world.

    I would give it an 11 if I could.

    A lot of people said it better than I'm capable of expressing, but TLOU2 is a great achievement of storytelling and gameplay. It clearly is not for everyone, but I say that as a compliment rather than a criticism. Better to fail miserably trying to achieve something great than to make the same old wishy-washy narratives, am I right? The Last of Us    I would give it an 11 if I could.

Better to fail miserably trying to achieve something great than to make the same old wishy-washy narratives, am I right?

    The Last of Us Part II is a mature story, not because of its violence and themes, but because it demands critical thinking and patience (to listen, to engage, to reflect) from its players. It never gives you short, simple answers, rather putting you in the situation of constantly needing to reexamine the characters' motivations and how do you feel about them. The game is never "trying to make you feel bad for being violent against your will", because the game is not about YOU (try and say that to the average gamer) but about deeply flawed people. These characters are the medium for this hyperbolic tale of revenge, love (yes, love, more than hate), corruption and redemption. It may sound odd to say that TLOU2 is subtle, with its explosive arrows, machetes and face-eaters zombies, but the fact that a lot of players seem to miss is that the game is never telling you how to feel about violence, revenge and the characters' decisions. It presents you with a full panorama and then takes a step back to ask: "How do you feel about this?" Considering how the audience have grown used to expect a moral lesson at the end of every narrative, it is not surprising a lot of people didn't know how to engage with this one.

    I've been playing games for almost 30 years now, and I don't remember another game making me think and feel as much as TLOU2. If Part I is brilliant in its conciseness, Part II is masterful in its (organized) mess. I still need to give it some time to "breathe" before making more decisive statements, but I would not be surprised if it became my favorite game of all times. And for that I can only be thankful for everyone that worked so hard to bring this masterpiece to life.    … Expand

I don't want to say too much more because it's difficult to not spoil it, however I would 100% recommend this game and it truly DOES NOT deserve the review bombing or the death threats, people really need to learn that the story of a game can't always go their way and simply that if they don't like it, shut up, grow up and move on.

It brought out a lot of emotions (good and bad) and made me think a lot, and am still thinking about it 2 weeks after finishing it. A lot of people saw spoilers, decided they hated it and didn't give it a legit chance (or didn't even play it at all), blew the negatives out of proportion and minimized the good parts of the game. People look at the original through rose-colored glasses, yeah it was a great game but it wasn't perfect either. Bottom line people are sad/mad because a character they like died, but Ned Stark died suddenly and brutally and everyone praised GoT for being so ballsy to kill off a main character. At the end of the day it's a game and the amount of hatred this game has brought into the world is sad and ridiculous.

На фоне новостных заголовков рассказывающие нам об очередных политических перипетий, как в России так и в США, рядовому игроку будет не легко воспринять сюжет игры правильно. Игра буквально ретроспективно провела параллель с реальным миром, где игроки ещё до выхода игры составили свое мнение о ней по слитым спойлерам, на эмоциональной волне составили о ней мнение и тем самым "отрезали" для себя возможность прочувствовать всю сложность человеческих отношений среди персонажей в игре. И действительно не просто пережить практически в самом начале игры смерть (да и ещё такую жестокую) главного персонажа первой части и придется приложить немало усилий для того чтобы принять этот факт и выяснить что послужило причиной для смерти Джоела. И честно если опустить детали то в конце игры становится понятно мотивация каждого главного действующего лица. Если вы сможете принять смерть Джоела в самом начале игры и абстрагироваться от политической войны в интернете (воспринимать игру не через призму политики и предубеждений) то вы сможете получить удовольствие от игрового процесса и проникнуться сюжетным повествованием.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Qué decir sobre esta catedral de videojuego?
    No voy a perder mi tiempo en contestar a todas las estériles críticas de usuarios escupiendo vitriolo por las teclas, muchas de ellas premeditadas tras las desafortunadas filtraciones de Mayo, las cuales pude evitar en su totalidad. Recomiendo eso sí, filtrarlas sin ningún tipo de piedad. También recomiendo entender qué es The Last of Us, que parece que muchos presuntos fans todavía no se han enterado y prefieren idealizar personajes, santificándolos y haciéndolos a algunos hasta mártires.

    Puedo hablar de mi verdad, basada en mi experiencia tras cuatro partidas que me han llevado entre 26 y 31 horas de completar esta trepidante historia. No miento si digo que nunca pensaba que un videojuego pudiese hacerme sentir el torrente emocional que consigue generar este juego. He sentido la ira e impotencia que acompaña a Ellie en esta huida hacia delante. He sentido el dolor por la pérdida de un ser querido, el vacío existencial, la lucha interna. Me he cuestionado a cada paso el valor de las acciones de las que era cómplice. He aprendido a entender la subjetividad de toda historia, de cómo siempre existen distintas caras de una misma moneda. Y sí, por qué no decirlo, he odiado a Abby con toda mi ansia, pero también he llegado a preocuparme por ella. He vivido su trauma, su obsesión. Me ha partido el alma ver el alcance de dicha obsesión y he tenido que pasar página, entender que no era ese monstruo de mi imaginario. Agradezco que me hayan dejado ser el bueno, el feo y el malo. Me encariñado con esos complejísimos y fascinates personajes, para luego también, Neil Druckmann y Halley Gross, recordarme su reverso tenebroso en los momentos más inesperados.

    También debo mencionar lo que me ha encantado el diseño del juego y la jugabilidad. He sentido esa hostilidad de ese mundo postapocalíptico. La escasez, la angustia, la lucha por la supervivencia a cada paso. Por qué no, he llegado a preguntarle si matar o no a esos enemigos con nombre (algunos de ellos perros). Cómo se siente cada nivel, las opciones que te da para afrontar la acción. Siento que se consigue una sensacional verosimilitud entre el diseño de cada nivel y el estado emocional de tu personaje. Sientes llegar agotado, exhausto en algunas ocasiones al final de cada parte, tras los incontables peligros a los que te tienes que enfrentar, con situaciones asfixiantes y cargadas de incertidumbre a cada paso. También creo que es un juego donde los desarrolladores saben respetar la inteligencia del jugador para resolver las situaciones. Aunque sea un juego lineal, los enfrentamientos se pueden resolver de mil maneras diferentes y siempre me he sentido honorado, dando igual mi enfoque.

    Para poner la guinda, la conmovedora y magistral banda sonora del gran Gustavo Santaolalla. Aún retumban en mis tímpanos esos íntimos acordes de guitarra cargados de significado, trasladándome a esos momentos e incluso gastándome alguna lágrima, por qué no, algunos de ellos.

    ¿Y hay algo que no me guste de esta rotunda obra maestra? En alguna ocasión, mi aliado se ponía en medio, resultándome algo molesto. Algún que otro bug también he experimentado. Pocos peros le puedo poner a esta segunda parte de la que es desde ya, una de mis historias favoritas en cualquier forma de entretenimiento.

    Y a la pregunta, ¿hasta qué punto lo recomiendo este juego? A cualquiera ame los grandes dramas, tenga cierta madurez emocional, una mentalidad abierta y entienda que es un juego duro, al que le da igual lo que pienses acerca de sus personajes y no tiene escrúpulo alguno en hacerte salir de tu zona de comfort. No es para todo el mundo, pero si entras dentro de esta pequeña descripción, seguro que encuentras la experiencia digna de tu tiempo.    … Expand

    남들은 망겜이다 뭐라들 하지만 나는 이렇게 기술적으로 완성도 높고 경이로운 수준의 연출로 재밌게 플레이한 게임이 없었음. 스토리도 아쉬운 부분이 없진 않지만 수긍할 수 있는 수준이고 참신한 시도도 좋았음. 그리고 나름 이 겜임이 평화와 반전의 메세지도 담고 있어서 좋았음!

    This game was amazing. The story was very mature and requires empathy to view the story from the perspective of everyone involved. The Gameplay is great but the controls will take a while to adjust too but once a few encounters are completed then you will be right at home.

    The only downside to the game is that some levels and chapters are very drawn out and I feel some of the second half could have been a bit shorter. I tend to feel this way with most when I find myself ready for the ending.

    I can not stress enough this game is amazing and should be enjoyed from end to end and it requires empathy and reflection.. the final scenes will be with me forever and the ultimate message... this will be a hallmark of what we have to look forward to in future of gaming.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found my first playthrough a miserable experience and would have rated it a 5 or a 6.

    In attempt to explore my feelings about the game I did another playthrough, but everytime I went to unravel a thread I thought I had seen I found nothing but solid rope.
    I never managed to justify my initial impression, in fact I found that the game is actually exceptionally well written and directed..

    I feel like it my initial reaction might have had something to do with the inconsistent nature I view characters I'm playing as opposed to when I'm watching characters on tv. They are obviously characters and they have completely separate motivations from me and will make choices I would not but when you are playing as a character that isn't wildly different from you and they make reasonable choices in games you get to feel like you are the character, so when the character then begins to makes choices outside the bounds of what I would have chosen there is some level of cognitive dissonance there. This means I had to learn to watch Ellie just simply as a character and not entangle myself in her choices. In addition there were some choices the character made that actually were consistent with ones I would have made, because of an unhealthy obsession with reaching a goal that predictably lead to some bad consequences and that didn't feel good.

    Edit: Thinking it through, I really feel it stems from the ending of the first game. Remembering back to my first reactions to it I rather disliked being forced to kill one of the last remaining doctors in that world but in the years since, I've forgotten the worst acts of Joel and since it's muddled with me "being" Joel and knowing Joel is at heart a good person I've built up stories and psychological defenses to justify the acts. This game destroyed those defenses and I didn't want to admit that in a way, as Ellie, I was ultimately chasing after myself.

    I still love Joel though, as a character that had to make a horrible choice that I in some sense can understand and doesn't ultimately boil down to black and white, evil or good.. Just **** up..

    As a final note, I would recommend that you pay attention to what is going on in Ellies journal. I didn't really understand why Ellie and Dina where even a thing before I read in there that they have known eachother for years and Ellie clearly had a crush on her from before. This might be the only major weakness I found, it's fairly subjective though, others might just accept that they seem in love and are good together but for whatever reason I just didn't find it very believable before I read those journal entries.    … Expand

    I love the game because it subverts my expectations, me hating the story and characters is the way is supposed to be. Neil Druckmann is a genius for making me feel frustrated, angry and shocked at the game, us hating the game is intended in a, not so subtle way but ends up being so deep, so sublime, so exceptionally stunning and brave. 10/10

    Technical review: score 9.5/10
    Its a MASTERPIECE, all animations are superb, game is smooth etc...it indeed improved upon the previous game.

    Another issue I noticed seems related the (aggressive) motion blur, causing a weird effect on the top of the screen when rotating camera fast in some scenarios, almost like a screen tearing. Turning down the effect to 5/10 seems to have helped a bit.

    Story/Character review: Score 8/10
    Whether you like the story or not its a MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE.
    The studio's vision definitely didn't match what I expected for a sequel, but it doesn't make it a bad thing at all, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and they could only make one story, from their own minds.
    The one thing I didn't like much is that they tried too much to pull some things and cause game to be boring at times.
    Character progression exists and it is an important part of the whole thing. However, I feel that the characters lack charisma.    … Expand

I really enjoyed the game and never regret deciding that I bought it. It's just that this game is not recommend for people with one-sided mind set. A lot of events is really hard to take in. I'm really glad that I finished the game before judging it. I'm rating this game 10/10 not because its great but to help the score go up. It's a seriously misunderstood game that get judged before playing the actual game.

    To naughtydog: if your reading this, don't let others user review to get you down, the game is actually good. Keep up making good games ike this but please don't pay critics to give a good review, It's obviously a lie and make you look like desperate.    … 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]
