    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a narrative masterpiece. To all you douchebags out there who did not understand what they are actually trying to convey:

    When you playing abby, there is a boss fight where you fight ellie.
    In that, when abby tries to kill dina, ellie says "she is not a part of this. Leave her. She's pregnant." Abby leaves dina and ellie without killing them, saying "i dont wanna ever see you again." Abby doesnt even kills tommy (who killed manny infront of her)
    This shows that abby is trying to walk away. She realizes that what she did to joel wasn't right and more importantly her actions costed her friends' lives. *This is abby's moment of enlightenment*

    In the end, when ellie tries to kill lev, abby says "leave him alone. He is not a part of this." And yet they fight. Ellie realizes that is not worth to kill her (realizing that abby did not kill her when she had the chance) and moreover ellie has a family now (dina and her baby JJ) and leaves abby without killing her..
    *This is ellie's moment of enlightenment*

    This is a perfect ending .. (at least for me)    … Expand

    After spending ~36 hours completing the game, I'd say that it's a great game, even though the story and pacing can be a bit slow at times. Other than that there's only a few key aspects of the story that I didn't really like, otherwise nothing to really complain about

    Ich kann die Kritik an der Story verstehen es kommt einfach auf einen jeden selbst an ob einem die Geschichte gefällt. Wird wahrscheinlich 50/50 sein für mich hat die story funktioniert es sind nur deshalb keine 10 Punkte weil man in der 2. Hälfte ein paar längen hat.

    The most polarizing game I’ve ever seen. People who don’t like the game have good points, but I respectfully disagree. I think it’s as good if not better than the 1st game. I know that’s a controversial opinion but that’s fine.

    With overwhelmingly incredible animations, acting, level design, music and attention to detail, The Last of Us Part II has cemented itself as one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in video games. While the story has proved divisive, I found its departure from my expectations to be a positive and not a negative.

    The Last of Us Part II is a game unlike any other. It takes players through a visceral story of hate and the cycle of violence. Your feelings are going to be hurt, you will despise some moments and probably, at some point, even hate the game. But that's the objective.

    In order to put you in Ellie's shoes, the game needs to make you feel every single emotion that is going through her head. You need to feel the hate, you need to feel the desolation.

    Nearly 25 years have passed since the begging of the Cordyceps infection, the world's changed. People die every day, those who are still alive have to live with the constant threat of the infected. Happiness is a luxury that simply cannot be afforded, at least not for long.

    Due to a traumatic event, Ellie sets off on a journey for revenge on those who've wronged her. You're not meant to have fun, you're meant to witness the character's slow descent into an ever-darker abyss of tragedy. You will feel the weight of every single murder, every single call for help and, hopefully, in the end, understand that there are no heroes and villains in this story, there are simply different perspectives. The most important thing to understand is that every action leads to a series of consequences, and no matter how much you try, you can't escape them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game's a masterclass in just deserts as a concept.

    Just play it.

    My main issues with the game is that you start over half way through it, and have to level up an entirely different character from nothing. It would've been easier if the game had cut between these two characters at different story points, but I understand why they didn't. For this reason, the game's pacing drags a bit but otherwise it's a perfect game. I'd have gived it a 9 in reality but until the metacritic score balances out I'll give it a 10.

    You already know the game's graphics and gameplay are good so lets talk story. Here's my points that disagree with most of the concerns here. Spoilers below:

    The game is incredibly self aware of the fact that it's a game. It knows you dislike Abby, and gives you more than one opportunity to watch her die a brutal, horrific death. It turns the death mechanic you try to avoid into a sick and twisted revenge mechanic. It's fitting that you face off against an incredibly terrifying and overpowered boss as Abby yet Tommy and Ellie are far more challenging opponents. You can survive your first encounter with the big boss but you won't survive your first encounter with Ellie.

    People don't feel like the game has the same level of chemistry that made the first game magic--and are upset that they didn't 'like' Dina. The game doesn't want you to like Dina, in fact it goes out of it's way to make you only care about one thing: revenge for Joel. Dina is the only thing Ellie has and her life takes a backseat to killing every single one of Abby's friends with the goal of killing Abby. Even playing as Abby, watching her story--you still want Abby to die. That one good deed saving Lev doesn't matter if you don't get your just deserts.

    The end of the game comes to a close with the most heroic thing you've ever done in either game--you free an entire colony of slaves to overtake their oppressors and you don't care at all. You're just there to kill Abby. Just deserts. You find her hanging from a crucifix starved and beaten after months as a slave. When she finally has her beaten and bruised beyond recognition, leaving her in worse shape than Ellie was left at the end of the first fight, she let's her go. She had to learn to forgive this woman, and she realizes in that moment she has put the fear of god in this woman. It's harrowing.

    The comparisons of the game's story akin to The Last Jedi are way overblown. In The Last Jedi, the characters from the previous trilogy are left behind, barely respected and make decisions that are completely out of character. Luke Skywalker is turned into a joke. The Last of Us 2 respects it's characters and puts them in believable situations. You get plenty of time with the characters from the first game acting as you'd expect. There is a cause and effect for every decision they make, and the game makes sense.

    It's hard to watch people who have legitimate criticisms of the game thrown in with antisemitic, homophobic and racist dialogue, even if you truly hated the story I'd find it hard to take seriously a review under 5 or 6.

    Play the game, see it for yourself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to be in the minority with my statement, but here goes nothing. I thought this was an amazingly thought out story line. The writers weren't crap, they actually thought through the entire story, not just what they wanted to happen in this particular segment of it. What this type of writing did is force you into the perspective of someone you hate, to show you the pain of two characters who have had someone ripped away from them at the hand of the other. It shows what grief can do to you in a world that is out of your control, just like real life. Don't hate the game because a favorite character dies, love it for what it taught you, if you can get past that first heart aching moment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the perfect example, why you have to play a game by yourself. The Last Us Part II is a pretty spectacular Game with a lot of strengths and some flaws. Lets talk about the things I really like about TLOU Part II.

    Strength
    - Visuals and Realism
    - Sound
    - Gameplay
    - Lore

    It looks/sounds and feels so good to play this. It was me an absolute honor. Thank you for the most beautiful and realistic game out there. The overall gameplay, on higher difficulty's is flawless, this mix of hiding, fighting, surprise attacks, silent kills, and gunaction feels so smooth and clean. From a gameplay perspective this is, for me, even better than Uncharted 4. But I'd say it is not as good as games like Sekiro, God of War or Dark Souls 3. But for a 3rd Person Shooter it is probably the best I've ever played. One big plus is also the way of telling a story through the world itself. It could be more divers, with a lot of Notes you find, but it always felt like this world is realistic and alive. and there is a lot happening that you didn't see.

    Overall a fun, awesome looking Triple AAA title.

    Flaws

    Well, it is a hard part for Neil Druckman and the people at naughty dog. I think the story is pretty solid and I was not annoyed by Abby. However, the review bombing comes from a perspective of people who didn't want to see any other story, than the story of Ellie and Joel. And this people are **** up, because as a fan of them you're pretty disappointed with this one. I love both of these characters and I have to say it hurts, but i still can appreciate what Naughty Dog tried here and I really liked the way they are trying to show how hard this world and the decisions can be. They really try to ask what is the right and wrong of the First Part. It was a hard question after Part I and it still is. Playing Abby for such a long time, surprised me first, but I was ok with it after the first 2 hours. The story shows us how Ellie looses herself, because she lost Joel. There are parts in this game, giving me Goosebumps, like the scene in the Natural History Museum.
    But after the End this game couldn't touch me as the first part, because Ellie distanced herself so hard from me. And Abbys Story feels a bit forced and is basically Joel's Story of Part I. Which still is great performed and written. But I didn't liked both sides in here and that makes me feel a bit off.

    This didn't change the fact I had a lot of fun with this one and Naughty Dog is still a outstanding game company.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II doesn’t just tell you that violence is bad, but it shows you the ramifications of it by dealing with the emotional toll as well as the consequences on not just the main character involved, but their loved ones too. At the start of the game, Joel is brutally killed by Abby and we go with Ellie on a mission to avenge him by killing everybody involved. We see it all from Ellie’s POV, hardheartedly seeing Abby as the villain as she just killed the character that we know and love as we have an emotional connection to him after the first game. His death is supposed to make you feel anger. It’s not like you’re supposed to be joyed by it. His death scene left me feeling empty and disgusted, wanting revenge alongside Ellie. However, as the game goes on, we start to see the story from Abby’s POV. We learn that the doctor that you, the player, had to murder at the end of The Last of Us is actually the father of Abby. This is brilliant. Now we see one of the main themes of the story, consequences, and I was immediately on board. Joel is not a good person, at all. He murdered hundreds of Fireflies and took away the possible cure for humanity for his own personal reasons. This is incredibly selfish, even going to the lengths of lying to Ellie about the events as he knows that it isn’t what she would want. Technically, Joel is the villain. Joel had been through so much, so you may think it’s justified. But the point is, Joel isn’t the only person in the world of The Last of Us. Everybody he murders aren’t just mindless NPCs, they are people. People with their own problems who have gone through their own share of pain and loss, people with their own loved ones. Such as the doctor, who had Abby, whom he loved very much and Abby the same. So, understandably, she would feel incredible anger and feel the need for revenge, just the same as Ellie and the player after Joel’s death. There is now a cycle of revenge. Ellie goes on to kill Abby’s friends, and so Abby tries to kill Ellie and her friends. It’s not until Lev talks Abby out of it that the cycle seems to have been “broken”. Abby and Lev put it behind them, however, Ellie cannot and nor can Tommy, which means that the cycle is not broken. Ellie continues her hunt for revenge, thinking it’s still what she needs. Just as she’s about to murder Abby, she sees it’s completely useless. Here I’m going to talk about another core theme of the story: loss. As Ellie is about to kill Abby, she realises that Joel is gone. Completely gone, and killing Abby is not going to change that. She now has Lev, and if Ellie was to kill Abby, Lev would only lose Abby, leaving him in the same situation Ellie was in at the start of the game, which in turn means Ellie is becoming what she set out to kill. It’s no use. Revenge only causes more pain and loss. This cycle is so vicious and nobody wins, and Abby realised this once she found Lev, and found that revenge is a futile thing that does not achieve anything, especially not bringing back her dead friends. She managed to break the cycle herself, and in turn, she found a life worth living, alive with Lev. However, Ellie could not manage this, choosing to still seek revenge. Because of this, she faces the consequences. She loses all of her loved ones. She loses Dina, she loses Jesse and she loses her little boy, JJ. Tommy is the same too. Tommy couldn’t break the cycle, and he loses his wife, Maria. And guess what, Joel is still gone. All of that loss, yet Joel is still dead. It’s all been for nothing. Ellie is now completely alone, which is what she said she was scared of in the first game, all because of revenge. The way forward is not anger, rage or revenge, but acceptance and love.

    You may think this treatment of Joel and Ellie is “disrespectful”, but I disagree. In the first game, you do a lot of bad things as these characters. Yeah, you go through a lot of pain, but so has everybody else, yet they still face the unfavourable consequences. It only makes sense that Joel and Ellie would too. In my opinion, this only helps to build the world of The Last of Us and show that just because Joel and Ellie are the main characters, they aren’t invincible, and the world doesn’t revolve around them. They just happen to be two people who live in the world amongst so many others, which for me, makes it so much more realistic. This is emphasised in the incredible detail in the gameplay of each enemy having names, with other enemies interacting with each other as you stalk them. It makes them feel so much more real and only increased my enjoyability. From a story like this, which is so dark and gritty, I don’t expect a happy ending. You’re not supposed to like Ellie by the end of this story, as she serves as the example of why the cycle of revenge is horrible. You’re not supposed to feel satisfied by it, you’re supposed to feel empty, hurt and sad. That is literally the point.    … Expand

    To preface my opinion, I thankfully was not spoiled by any leaks before playing this game. I also didn't read any reviews beforehand, and the last thing I viewed showing anything within this game was the gameplay trailer from E3 2018. I went out of my way to avoid spoilers, even down to any new gameplay mechanics or features, so that I could play it with as clean a slate as possible.

    I    To preface my opinion, I thankfully was not spoiled by any leaks before playing this game. I also didn't read any reviews beforehand, and the last thing I viewed showing anything within this game was the gameplay trailer from E3 2018. I went out of my way to avoid spoilers, even down to any new gameplay mechanics or features, so that I could play it with as clean a slate as possible.

    I beat the game after a week of it being out, took a break from it, and am now starting another playthrough to go for the platinum. During my first playthrough, I went from thinking this might be one of the best games I've played in the last few years to being on the fence on the last half. The main reason for that is I felt like it could've been a tad shorter, I remember pushing through areas on the latter half just wanting to know what was going to happen. I loved the gameplay loop, and I felt like it expanded on the original in many ways gameplay-wise. But while I started playing the game using stealth and working to figure out the best approach to each encounter, I eventually began just blasting my way through each area to get to the next story beat near the end. This is probably the main reason why I'm not giving it higher than an 8. I felt like I couldn't wait for it to be done, not because I hated it, but just because I was ready for it to be over after about 20-25 hrs in (my playthrough lasted 29 hrs). I felt like I'd had my fill at the point, and had to hold myself back from googling "how far am i in last of us 2?".

    I actually enjoyed the story very much, contrary to about half of all who seemed to play it. But even without seeing any spoilers, I definitely understood early on how many people probably wouldn't enjoy it. It takes chances with the story and characters that while some I didn't agree with at the time (and some I still don't) I was still enjoying the surprises and risks it was trying to take and appreciated it. Even though many people already know what happens without having even played it, I still don't want to take that experience away from anyone else so I won't get into details obviously. But I will say that the parts of the story and scenes that I enjoyed the most were when I felt like they were honoring the original and tying things together that I didn't expect. In many people's eyes, including partly in mine, it didn't succeed completely in this. But I was a fan of the original's entire story and especially the ending, and I felt like Part 2 mostly succeeded in continuing this saga (even though I wasn't completely onboard with some of the new characters and other things).

    This is a game that I feel like many people will finish like I did, just wanting it to be over. Like I said, for me it was because I felt like it was a bit too long. Some people will hate having played it because of their disagreements with the story, and I've also heard people having trouble getting through it because of the excessive violence (which isn't is a spoiler to say that there is PLENTY of violence). But I find that the more I look back on the game, the more I'm appreciating it, despite the parts that I didn't enjoy 100%. I understand what they were trying to do, and it's close to what I originally thought about the original when I first played it: this is a series that doesn't demand to be enjoyed, but does demand to be experienced.

    So I'm mostly writing this for anyone still considering whether to buy it or not, and if it's worth your time. I won't tell you whether you should enjoy it or not, I don't think anyone should do that. I'd say judging from the user review scores and general backlash, it's completely understandable to want to hold off. But if you have any inkling at all to play it, I wouldn't wait (only because you'd run the risk of being spoiled). So if you are interested at all, I'd buy it, play it, and try not to listen to extreme reviews on either end of the spectrum. Make up your own mind, but I will say that I feel like I got my money's worth, and enjoyed the experience overall.    … Expand

    And lots of playtime.
    Resident Evil 3 remake has a 6.4 score. Thats for a game that added nothing new to the original and with an average playtime of 2-3 hours.

    Incredible game, the atmosphere, pacing, characters and story were all fantastic. My only complaint is that parts dragged on a bit, so some combat felt a bit artificial, but otherwise the pacing was great and I really enjoyed all of the “downtime”. This is what gaming should strive for, immersive storytelling at its best, and still one of the best looking games period.

    It hurts to see the hate for this game, but after playing I can see why it’s expected. Many controversial things happen, none of which I have a problem with. This game in my opinion, is slightly below the first game. Which I would give a 10/10. The reason for this is simply because Joel provided a certain charm, which was missing in this one. The Last of Us 2 had top tier gameplay, with many emotional moments. I would continue to go in more depth, but I have far too little time to do so. My best advice, is do as Troy Baker stated and go in with an open mind.    … Expand

    First of all to get things out of the way Tommy had already said Joel's name to Abby since he is more innocent than Joel so, that is why Joel said his name, it's not bad writing, Abby already knew that he was Joel so it wouldn't make sense if Joel refused to say his name. People can't deal with a story where the main character doesn't get the revenge. I bet everyone who rated 0 when they started playing Abby's side though "I will kill her so I will not hear her side of the story" resulting in not liking her, so when Ellie didn't killed her they got really pissed of. I guess people can't have a different game, they like when everything is predictable    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely loved this game. Didn't read the reviews until I'd finished to avoid spoilers and I'm stunned at how half the internet seems to have it! The storytelling I thought was so clever and original. Initially when we went back a few days and relived the story as Abby I just couldn't wait to get back to the confrontation but seeing everything from Abby's perspective and seeing the hurt Ellie had caused really made me question whose side I was on.

    Joel's death was gruesome and horrendous, but Abby was trying to find vengeance for her father in the same way we had come to understand Ellie was. I was glad at the end that Ellie spared her. It seems there's no good guys and bad guys in the post apocalyptic world, just different shades of loss.

    Basically, I think I felt all the things the writers wanted me to feel and I wonder if maybe it was easier for me because I didn't play the first game (I just watched a recap on YouTube) so I wasn't quite as emotionally attached to Joel and Ellie as some other may have been.

    Story aside, so much of the game was immersive and visually stunning. Escaping from the scar island under the burning debris was incredible, as was much of the dark immersive parts with infected coming at you from nowhere, and the intensity of the sniper scene where you feel angry when he kills Manny only for you to then discover it's Tommy.

    It felt like a level of storytelling that wouldn't be possible in a film and for the first time in a very long time I was disappointed when the game ended and I wanted more.

    I really don't understand all the negative reviews, this experience was completely epic.    … Expand

It beats you in concussive jolts you don't wish to strike, the alternative choices you desperately want these people to make, and through the entirety of the journeys of 2 characters who are, in the end, 2 sides of the same coin. Both look into the darkness, but one is hoping to find the light of grace that was taken from her, and the other wishes to find it in the eternal shadows that would have given her existence meaning and sense. Both mock religious martyrs, but that is exactly what they become...except both are martyrs to a congregation of one in their own empty temples. The other characters, in fact, the whole word preaches to them, but they are like Trojan soldiers when Cassandra spoke. They hear, and ignore, the prophet's dire warnings of war without end, and victory at all cost...and cost it must...especially when all one hears from the plaintive, well-spoken advice of street wise prophets is babbles and baubles. Hence, why all logic is spoken from a theatre with a marquee bearing the name "Cassandra."

    This isn't a game one "plays". You don't "control" these people. You're along for the ride with the same knowledge of an audience that watches a Greek tragedy. It's an immersive dive into a virtual experience of dramatic irony played out as an epic elegy and a dirge. It speaks with somber poetic prose and sings out a mournful lamentation in its soundtrack, dialogue, and the pulpy violent narrative that knit it all together into one experience. This game is like the bifurcated tale of the Greeks after the fall of Troy, 2 parts of one of humanity's grand armies searching for a home, or an idea of it, that no longer exists. One makes it to home's warm embrace. One is perpetually searching. They both ache for what the other has...but have no idea what to do with their own mad kingdoms when they are the last ones standing.

    In the end...all the kingdoms fall when the furies rage on and on and on for revenge amidst the rubble. Eventually, all that rage and rubble is pulverized to dust...and blows away, carried on the wind of forgotten songs captured in music beaten mercilessly into stone for the ages, but left no mercy for the memory of how the songs were played and sung. The song fades into its own drowning wind, letting go of the nostalgia of what was, and leaving the hollow, hopeful ache of what might be. I have no idea how a goddamn video game made me think and feel so much, but the artistry of it all is not meant to be understood, but experienced.    … Expand

    Tout d'abord, graphiquement, ce jeu est le plus réussi de notre génération. Vous pouvez lancer Metro Exodus en ultra avec Raytracing sur votre PC à 2000 euros, vous n'aurez pas une once de la beauté que ce jeu peu vous proposer. Le nombre incalculable de détails rendent ce jeu plus réaliste que jamais. Vous n'aurez pas affaire qu'à des textures extrêmement bien travaillées, cela, de nombreux studios savent le faire. Ici, ce monde est palpable tant le soucis du détails le rend concret.

    Le jeu profite de l'univers musical de l'opus précédent, avec de nouveaux thèmes dans le même styles. Concernant le sound design, c'est ce qui ce fait de mieux dans le réalisme et la cohérence des sons qui vous entourent.

    Du point de vue du gameplay :

    Oui vous aurez à explorer toute la carte et ouvrir tous les tiroirs possibles et imaginables si vous comptez survivre dans une difficulté élevée. Oui, les combats sont moins spectaculaires que God of War ou Uncharted
    Mais les combats vous donneront du fil à retordre, ils ne se dérouleront jamais de la même façon grâce à une des intelligences artificielles les plus réussies. Vous ressentirez la violence de la mort que vous semez, l'idée étant de servir la palette d'émotions immenses que le jeu vous offre

    Concernant l'histoire :

    Le grand point fort de ce jeu est ici, l'histoire, ce que les scénaristes et le réalisateur ont voulu nous faire ressentir. Cette partie du jeu le propulse tout simplement au rang de chef d'oeuvre. J'écrivais auparavant concernant la palette d'émotions que vous fait ressentir le jeu, vous n'êtes réellement pas prêt. Vous allez ressentir de la rage, de la haine, de l'apaisement, du dégoût, de la peur, de la déception, de l'émerveillement, et à nouveau de la haine et de la rage, pour finir sur de la compassion et de l'empathie. Aucun jeu n'avait réussi à pousser à ce point l'expérience émotionnelle liée à un jeu vidéo. En plus de l'écriture, les excellents acteurs permettent de vraiment vous impliquer dans l'histoire.

    Le jeu vous laisse un mélange de sentiments étrange lorsque vous le finirez : Tout d'abord, l'accomplissement d'une quête relativement difficile selon la difficulté choisie.

    Last of Us Part II is definitely a Masterpiece as it pushes the boundary of game animations & world design. The gameplay is similar to the first game but improved, so if you liked the gameplay of the first game then you will like the gameplay. Another huge improvement is in the world design, even though a linear game it never feels like it as you can take different routes to reach your destination. You can follow an optional path & find extra goodies as a prize for your exploration. This game rewards greatly for anyone who takes the time to explore the world and the world created by Naught Dog is absolutely outstanding. Most times I would just stand & stare at the details & beauty of this world. The only negative I have is with the story, I understand what they were trying to do but unfortunately the execution was badly delivered. Also the pacing could have been better. I have put into over 40+ hours into this game with finally getting the Platinum trophy. If you can go with an open mind & see for how everything else in this game is absolutely stunning then you should definitely get this game as a PS4 owner. I really enjoyed my play through with this game, it was something very different & made me think more than what a game should make me!    … Expand

    I've been a huge fan of TLOU and ever since Sarah died in the original game I've been hooked. I was quite skeptical in regards to a "part II" since I felt that there was no need for a sequel. There was also a lot of negative reviews here on metacritic that worried me greatly, but now that I've finished the game, there was no need to worry.

I was quite skeptical in regards to a "part II" since I felt that there was no need for a sequel. There was also a lot of negative reviews here on metacritic that worried me greatly, but now that I've finished the game, there was no need to worry.

    Graphics: Ranging from large beautiful landscape scenery to grim foggy forests and run down cities this has got to be some of the best work I've seen to date. Also the amazing facial animations are best in class. Without a doubt 10/10

    Music/voice acting: The music is still amazing. Emotional and it enriches the mood/story. If there is one thing that rings in my mind when thinking about the original game it's the sad hopelessness that ringings out on a string instrument. You know which tune i'm thinking off. If you don't know, play the original and come back. The voice acting seem natural and all the actors are doing a great job much like the original. 10/10.

    Gameplay: The game mechanics are very similar to the original and will feel very familiar if you played the first game. Controlling the characters is a little "clumsy" at times. There was a couple of fun new upgrades and weapons. Enemy AI is much better with regards to flanking and attacking you strategically, but its way too easy to lose detection. What bothered me most was the AI off teammates who sneak around to avoid detection, and in so doing, bumps into you and cause yourself to be detected. This game does not feel like the perfect 3rd person shooter experience, but neither is it designed to do so. Sneaking and strategic attacks are the main route and the main focus is the story. Gameplay 7-8/10.

    Story: This is a very controversial topic. It will leave fans heartbroken (me included) and hence some of the negative reviews. It's without a doubt on of the darkest stories I've experienced in a game. ND does a great job of portraying the harsh post-apocalyptic world and the most gruesome sides of human nature. This is portrayed in many ways e.g. torture and murder. It shows Ellie's loss of humanity as she desperately seeks revenge even giving up on her life dream. They do a great job with controlling the tempo of this game. You have slow relaxed parts and you have action filled sequences, but you know that you're never safe and you've learned to never let your guard down so you're on edge through the whole game. 10/10.

    Lastly, do not believe the immense negativism that is associated with this game. The negative critique is most likely written by people who have nothing to do with the game (e.g. anti-LGBT) or but*hurt people who can't come to the acceptance with the nature of this horrific post-apocalyptic world. If you played the first and enjoyed it, chances are high that you're going to like this one as well.    … Expand

    When leaked and reviews came out I honestly ignored them until the game came out.

Although there is aWhen leaked and reviews came out I honestly ignored them until the game came out. Knowing the game will get bad reviews after a huge raid of ant-SJW YouTubers calling it a trash game due to the game having an ounce of sexual and gender ambiguous characters. I honestly didn't care because I usually focus on how well the characters are written NOT simply what they are. Although there is a massive share of reviewers who actually criticized that game and honestly respected their opinion on the game's fundamental issues both in a narrative and gameplay aspect.

    Me entering the game a few months after release and not including the controversy hinder my experience. I would say this game is above average in a gameplay standard and narrative standard. This game has a better and revised combat system compared to the first, it felt like the game conveyed me to peruse a moment when I had to take out a group of enemies. I can continue going in stealthy or if I possessed an adequate number of materials I can go for a good gun fight. During my playthrough I always had the chance to go out guns and blazing, killing dogs and scouts of a place I needed to progress to. Alternatively, I chose to take the longer route because the stealth mechanics of the game were too good to pass on at a moment on fear and adrenaline due to the number of enemies.

    I've said this before, in terms of the games narrative it is tolerably good, not great but it is good enough where it is above average. Playing as two leading characters is genuinely a worthy choice when it revives a game that focuses on revenge seeing both sides of the story taking place after TLOU I. Filling in on what we've lacked during these years as how our favorite father-daughter duo has been doing. However, as we go into the infamous character Abby, known for her masculine physique as well as other things I can't say because this is a non-spoiler review. However, what I can reveal about her head shaped muscles is that it really shapes her character and the theme of revenge. After a critically significant event from TLOU I, Abby sought revenge on the Joel and Ellie, joining what remains of the fireflies and constantly training and preparing until her time is to come. After Abby got revenge Ellie went on a revenge quest on her repeating the same story beats as Abby. Showing a parallel between the two and how they accept their own definition of the word "revenge". While both apparently lost during their quest for revenge we need to comprehend the difference of curving our expectations and doing good and doing it poorly. Narrowly because the story fell in somewhere you didn't expect and you didn't like is an unrelated matter compared to a lack of character and story development. Although where the game left off left me unsatisfied when it came to the result of both main characters I understood why it left off mainly because the ending definitely wants you to make you reflect on how these events occur and how the characters continue after. All analytics aside if you're not into the story the gameplay with undoubtedly carry the game for you.

Шикарнейщая проработка всех уровней - угру делали с любовью и это ощущаеться. К минусам можно отнести только 2 вещи: способ повествования истории Элли и Эбби - мне кажется нужно было сделать их линии паралельными, а не одну после другой, поскольку после сложившегося мнения о Эбби, ее действия вообще никак не переубедили меня. Второй момент - это максимальный маразм - беременная акробатка - и достаточно было сделать едва заметный живот что бы не возникало никаких вопросов, но хорошо хоть этот цирк длился максимум час.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A flawed masterpiece. It’s not the story I necessarily wanted but it is the story Naughty Dog wanted to tell and I respect that. Dark, overbearing and often bleak but at the same time one of the most memorable and thought-provoking experiences I have had in a game.

    Naughty Dog chose to bet everything on succeeding in making the player switch elegance from Ellie to Abby. To have the entire premise of your game rely on this happening is both brave and deliberately divisive but for me it just about worked. Being forced to play as a character you hate or having your character do things that you desperately don’t want them to do is a bold departure from what we have come to expect in many modern games. Player ‘choice’ and player ‘freedom’ have become the de facto gold standard leading developers to deliberately mislead players with choices that are in fact meaningless or to insert superficial ‘alternative’ endings where only one was ever intended. Having the confidence to stand by their narrative choices, no matter how unpopular, should be celebrated and ultimately I feel it remains faithful to the ending of the original. To play a game where you don’t get your way and your expectations are deliberately ignored makes for an often-difficult experience but one I found engaging and worthwhile.

    With all that said, this is not a perfect game. The story works hard to portray Abby’s narrative arc as overtly positive and this comes across as unnecessarily heavy handed. I strongly believe it was a mistake to leave the first confrontation in the theatre as a cliff hanger while you play through Abby’s story. Wondering why Abby didn’t kill Ellie would have been the driving force for her section. Instead I wanted to rush through and find out what actually happens, making Abby’s section feel overly long when it really didn’t need to. The game should have also done more with the journeys between Jackson, Seattle and Santa Barbara. The extended road-trip feel of the original turned what was otherwise a string of inconsequential and unconnected events into a coherent narrative. The Santa Barbara section was such a welcome and refreshing change that it made me lament the lack of variety and structure earlier in the game.

    It goes without saying that the animations, locations, sound design, and overall artistic presentation of the game is peerless. This is the most beautifully realised world every made in a video game and will be the high-water mark for games going forward. The game play iterates on the original rather than revolutionising it and after seven years it still felt innovative and enjoyable. Systems have been tweaked and levels of complexity have been added which all come together to create an incredibly visceral experience. That said, there were things the original did better. Game resources are too abundant and Abby’s weapon set felt limited compared to Ellie’s, taking away some of the ‘just surviving’ feel that made the original so great. I also missed the varied environmental puzzles and although locations are refreshingly open to begin with, they become progressively more linear as the game progresses.

    Taking everything into account I maintain this is a flawed masterpiece. It will drive discussion for years to come and was an unforgettable and thought-provoking experience that I feel deeply conflicted over. I don’t think it was the best story that could have been told but I do respect it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The spoilers are slight. I hate to see so many people rating this off of emotion alone. Same kind of reviews as for The Last Jedi. “They ruined Luke/Joel!” “It’s full of SJW garbage!” “Plot holes! Plot holes! PLOT HOLES!” on and on with oftentimes such limited explanation of the plot holes. I recently played both games for the first time and found this one to be about as good a sequel as I could’ve hoped for. The controls are slightly refreshed and made for a bit better of an experience, the visuals are gorgeous, with only a handful of bugs, and the dialogue is pretty well written. When it comes to the story, I found it ambitious and very admirable that we were given the chance to play as Abby, showing somebody who has lost everything and how they got there. I loved the idea of parallel stories with 3 Seattle days each, and I personally found the emotional connection to Abby come a lot easier than it should have. It’s a very, very dark and despondent experience, but as with the giraffes in the first game, there are the smallest glimmers of light. I can claim a few flawed character choices and a (personally) questionable, somewhat gratuitous but ultimately sadly satisfying fourth (?) act by taking a point off, but apart from that, I thought it was a very dynamic and emotionally heavy story that really deserved being told. I would suggest keeping an open mind when playing the game for the first time, and trying your best to give consideration to the environments you happen to find yourself in. It makes playing the game a lot more worthwhile. If you’re “anti-PC” or any variation on that, just don’t play it. Your hatred of the identities and behavior of certain characters will bleed into your opinion of the game. It’s abundantly clear to me that this community is far from ready to embrace certain things seen as “unfamiliar” to it. There is ONE trans female->male character, Abby seems by all accounts to be cisgendered, and there is a lesbian couple. These details play somewhat strong parts in the story, so maybe avoid it if you wouldn’t like to see it. I cannot speak on whether the representation was executed well enough, but it hardly bothered a heterosexual cisgendered white male. Stop review bombing on both sides and, like I said, just try to keep an open mind.… Expand

    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.
