    The Last of Us Part II has some of the best graphics, gameplay, and voice acting I’ve ever seen. The characters are gritty, realistic, and likeable (no matter how much I wanted to hate some of them). The story is similarly gritty and absolutely gut wrenching to play at times, but it is so, so worth it. Everyone at Naughty Dog gave this game their all, and it shows.

    What they wanted to do with the story is bold. There are no lazy writing or poor writing. Just some people are heartbroken because they wanted the story go different. But if you accept everything as it is you will enjoy with this dramatic story. So many tiny details both in gameplay and story. I will not even gonna talk about gameplay,graphic and phsyics they are exceptional.

En historia no se le puede comparar al primer juego, el cuál era mejor, cada pequeño plot twist te hacía sentir diferentes cosas, este flaqueó en ello al dividir la historia en dos puntos de vista, si bien es necesario dicha división para comprender ambas partes de la moneda, siento que no me permitió conectar al cien con cada uno de los eventos de cada punto de vista, ni con los personajes involucrados en ellos. Ahora es un videojuego, debes considerar todos los demás aspectos, no sólo la historia, los controles, nuevas habilidades, armas, herramientas, diseños, escenarios y enemigos fueron un plus a lo que ya conocíamos del juego anterior, en este aspecto es un 10/10 De verdad aquellos reviews y criticas con 0 o menos de 5 no creo que estén viéndolo como un todo… Expand

Claro, Esta es la idea de Neil, la cual la apoyo, ya que se metió en la cabeza que el juego sera realista, y así fue, gracias a que eso paso, obviamente mucha gente no le gusta porque ellos quieren hacer lo que digan ellos, no sus creadores y demás personas que se esmeraron, tampoco ningún juego es perfecto, claramente le vi algún que otro "bugsito", y algún que otra animación fallida, Como todo juego....
    Pero para mi es un juego con una historia sincera, pura, y de mucho odio y amor.

En mi caso me encantó porque hubo de todo: muertes inesperadas, sed de venganza, sorpresas desagradables, un final amargo... Gráficos extraordinarios que pareciera no pedirle nada a la PS5. Me falla la música, ya que esperaba algo más melodioso que sonidos de fondo en momentos tensos. Pero aún así está bien logrado. Hay tanto que comentar, pero en resumen: Extraordinario.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From my point of view I think that this game is a masterpiece.
    Like the first part Naughty Dog just squeezes everything out of the hardware of the Ps4. The graphics in this game are amazing and I have never seen so smoothe animations. I just think, that the game is very well programmed and that is not a standard anymore.
    Now to the story which seems to be the thing most people have a problem with:
    It is a simple revenge story, or so it seems from the beginning, but after Abby kills Joel you just really feel the sadness and the anger of Ellie, or so did I at least. And isn't that what a game should do? I caught myself often through the story crying, which I normally never do in games. This game just gave a rollercoaster of emotions. Also after arriving in Seattle I had a constant fear for Dinas life. ND showed me, that not every main character is protected because of his or her role in the story. And when you switch to Abby it just makes sense to explain her pain and her motivation why she killed Joel. And as the story goes on, it gets more complicated on the way. You go from a simple revenge story to a complex fight, about if all this violence is even necessary and that Ellie is basically blind because of the hate she feels for Abby and her friends. But then Ellies feelings turn as she kills Mel and her unborn child.
    The only thing I would criticize is that I really didn't enjoy playing Abby in the fight against Ellie. I mean I really get her after playing her for a long time in the game, but still I will always be on Ellies site, so I really didn't wanted to fight her.    … Expand

    It's clear that there are strong emotions internal and external to this game. A lot of the storytelling is brutal, and players are made to engage in actions and decisions that they may not agree with. However, I think the story is beautifully crafted with care and thought, is ambitious in scope and substance, and is an eminently worthy sequel to the original. [Link omitted per site policy]

I mean... game is amazing, emotional background it provides for some parts of it is impeccable, but I completely don’t understand why they made us feel sorry and help a character that killed someone so beloved by us. Loved the fact that they made back story to why she’s done that, but still can’t feel sorry for a character that did that to us. Most certainly can’t try to help her. I mean Abby is like that one kid in school that nobody likes for a bloody good reason, but teacher still tells you to hang out with her instead of you good friends. Just no... please!… Expand

Томми....его голос, я получал аудиальный оргазм. Джесс нудноват, но хороший друг. Эволюция Джоэла обратно в человека, такого каким он был до смерти Сары - очень порадовало. Понравилось, что он не сдал назад, и Элли его не сломала в плане выбора: нужно было её спасать или нет. Их последний разговор - шедеврален и мил. Я в восторге от игры! Спасибо Ноти дог!!!

We get to see Ellie grown up, using Joel's influence to forge her own path. We get to understand Abby's motivations as well. This story is all about the search for Vengeance, and how well it fits in a post-outbreak world, that is to say, not very well. If you feel torn up at the end, good, that is how you were meant to feel. These times change us all, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. The ultimate lesson is to do something valuable with the time you have left. Thank you.… Expand

    In general, this game fulfills realism in a post apocalyptic world very well implemented, although the characters do not have a true development or as a player, we cannot empathize with each of them, we must take into account He says that the world of the last of us is a devastating world, in which nobody has a dignified or epic death as some would like, since it is a world in which anyone can die at any time.
    Regarding the narrative, I can honestly say that there were some "holes" and too many coincidences for this to happen as it did, but this is not entirely a bad script, since it explains different perspectives of characters.
    It does not deserve all the hatred that this game is currently receiving since as many say: "You can love or hate this video game", so I reiterate. It is a misunderstood masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is very similar to the first game, I enjoy it but it is a little repetitive. There were some improvements over the last game but it is still mostly sneak, strangle, hide, repeat, with a few decent shootouts included.

    Unlike many people reviewing here, I really enjoyed the story. I think that the early death of Joel was a gut-wrenching moment which gave justification for Ellie's pursuit and her slide into a desperate sense of revenge. I think that the storytelling with Abby helps to show that the characters in this game are not "good" or "bad", but instead are morally grey with their own justifications for their actions. Early in the game we are made to hate Abby, but we are shown that she has justifications for her actions that very much match those of Ellie, and we see her character soften when caring for Lev, in a way that mirrors the relationship of Ellie and Joel. I think that many don't like the plot because of their affection for Joel as a character, but I didn't feel that his death was a plothole, but instead helped to drive the overall message of the game as well as showing how brutal this world is.

    Overall I think it is an excellent storytelling game that is also set in a beautiful and detailed world. My criticism is only based on the lack of advancement in the gameplay.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “if i ever were to lose you, i’d surely lose myself” — a masterpiece, and an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. i was skeptical about the story when i saw the leaks, but they do not do this game justice. it may be set in the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse but this is at it’s core a game about loss, revenge, redemption and coping. joel’s death is brutal, but it is necessary. not everyone gets a hero’s death, especially when they aren’t really a hero. it is a testament to the skill of the writers that within the first 10 minutes of learning the story of joel’s killer, i immediately sympathised with her, and loved her by the end. this game tells the story of two women who have lost or pushed away everything they held dear — yet, neither of them is right or wrong, good or bad. they are both consumed by revenge, which slowly chips away at their humanity. what makes this worthwhile is the moments where their eroding humanity still shines through - ellie’s relationships with dina, jj, and jesse and abby’s relationships with yara, lev and owen. the lengths their hatred makes them go to in their respective paths can be frustrating and heartbreaking to watch, but the conclusion it reaches at the end of its 30 hours of gameplay is haunting and beautiful. it will stick with me for a long time.

    the gameplay is a big step up from the first. movement and combat is quicker and more fluid, there is a larger variety of weapons and crafting options, and there are a variety of ways to approach any combat situation. all enemies are smarter this time around, and the infected are scarier than ever. the environment of every chapter is much more varied, each accompanied with a fitting soundtrack and atmosphere to match. areas are generally larger than the first game which is good; but can be overwhelming if you’re a completionist who likes to scour every nook and cranny for supplies or collectibles. don’t miss out. this game is an essential experience for any gamer, especially those who fell in love with the world and with joel and ellie in TLOU1.    … Expand

It is not at all like the first game, it's much darker, more violent, less cheerful. A very devastating story.

A lot of people don't want to be forced to have an emotional reaction to something. That being said, I don't rate this game a 10 out of 10 because of the feelings it gave me, I rate it a 10 out of 10 due to its ability to give them to me to begin with. No piece of media has ever made me cry with joy, made me sick to my stomach, made me feel love or hatred the way this game has. I was able to go into this game blind, and it was the most profoundly impactful experience I've ever had ingesting a piece of content, of any medium. Please, don't let it be spoiled for you. People are upset about this game because it WILL upset you. They're angry at the game because it WILL make you angry. But the purpose of this game is to reflect on the way that a person processes these feelings. If that isn't of interest to you, by all means, go and play anything else. This game requires bravery to face having to work through these feelings, but doing so is unbelievably rewarding. You're free to hate what you want, but this is a piece of work that many people have bled for, and it is deserving of your time. It isn't deserving of watching a YouTube run through, it isn't deserving of reading a synopsis on Wikipedia. If you can play this game, you really should, because bravery in this industry needs to be commended and, wow, The Last of Us Part II is brave; and incredible, and fun, and beautiful. It's everything that makes a great game, and it's backed by the most profoundly told story I've ever seen in Western media. This game deserves your time and your money.… Expand

    Ahora mi problema con el juego y con la mayoría de la gente es la historia. Me pareció que en duración tenía unas 10 horas de más (sobre todo la parte de Abby). Otra cosa es es que hay personajes desaprovechados, cómo son Jesse y Dina (la más sosa de todos los personajes). Y la muerte de Joel se me hizo muy rápida y súper forzada, podrían haberlo matado unas horas después. De todas formas el juego me gustó mucho, yo diría que es obligatorio jugarlo. El final no me pareció malo como la mayoría de la gente piensa, más bien me pareció un final duro y que no es para todos.De los mejores juegos de la generación.    … Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is the best survival-horror game. The graphics and the atmosphere strike the imagination, different narrative moves and plot twists keep a player in suspense. It's not just a game, it's an experience, and I'm happy that I had a luck to play TLoU :)

    Listen to the critics on this one. The game has a couple of flaws but those don't keep it from being an incredible experience. Some things in this game will disappoint you, that doesn't mean it is a disappointing game.

    Listen to the critics on this one. The game has a couple of flaws but those don't keep it from being an incredible experience. Some things in this game will disappoint you, that doesn't mean it is a disappointing game. There are moments where YOU, the player, will have to commit acts of violence that you REALLY do not want to carry out but the game MAKES you do it. They could have made these into cut scenes, but they didn't. The game intentionally makes you do it. Which will make you feel bad. Certainly doesn't mean the game itself is bad! That would be like saying the movie Schindler's List is bad because it made people sad and angry.

    I actually played it. It's really good. And it's quite the heart breaker.

    TLOU Part II and and "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" are a good sign, that the industry is FINALLY moving towards more mature and complex themes (no, not just revenge) about broken characters in a broken world.

    There will always be games that are... easy on the mind with a clear antagonist and where the player gets to be a force of good and I enjoy these games very much too. But I'm very fond of what Naughty Dog has done here and I hope they will continue to craft such compelling narratives and don't get discouraged by some very loud and vocal haters, who are hung up on their favorite characters not being AWESOME but instead being disappointing human beings.

    Of course there will be people who simply don't like the game because they wanted another romp through the US with their favorite characters, which is not quite what will happen.... or they simply didn't enjoy the story and all that is fine. (see the mixed reviews) But it's quite clear that this game got review bombed by a lot of people who did not play the game and very likely aren't even old enough to be allowed to play this game and/or experienced enough to appreciate the themes it presents.

    Thank you to everyone at Naughty Dog for making this incredible game, even if it was a serious downer most of the time.

    PS:
    The shotgun in this game is incredible. It's the most satisfying and crunchy weapon I have ever wielded in any game, including EVERY Doom game, including the double barrel shotgun. They way it messes people (infected or not) up will make you giggle, no matter how many shooters you have played in your lifetime.    … Expand

There are some elements of the gameplay that can occasionally feel a tad stale or tedious, but it flows gracefully between exploration, environmental puzzles, and dynamic combat that can quickly ramp up from slick stealth to explosive, seat of your pants combat. Obviously the story has been extremely divisive, and many have simplified the theme as a “killing is bad” kind of deal, but the way the moment to moment played out, both in the writing and the gameplay made me feel engaged in a way very few games have before.… Expand

Глядя на отзывы игры, критикующие примитивный геймплей, который никак не развился с 2012 года, наверное стоит согласиться. Однако, как человеку играющему в игры по 4-5 часов в неделю (и то не всегда), мне геймплей очень зашёл. Анимации в игре наверное лучшие из всех что я когда-либо видел, порой ощущения будто смотришь лайв-экшен, а не играешь в игру. Сюжет очень крепкий, особенно финал. Полностью прочувствовал состояние Элли, которая уже не понимала что она вообще делает и для чего.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I did prefer the first game overall, there is no question to me that this is objectively one of the best games on this generation of consoles. Subjectively, of course people might like or dislike some elements of the game (whether from a gameplay or story standpoint), but there is no way this is objectively rated "average" at a 5, let alone a 0. I'd say people rating this a 5 or below are not acting in good faith (or have not played enough games in their life to know what a mediocre game really looks like), and the "0" reviews should entirely be discarded (alternatively, any user review posted on the day of the release should probably have been prevented or deleted by metacritic. The game itself takes 25h to finish)

    The Last of Us 2 has flaws (although they in my opinion don't prevent it from being an excellent game) Gameplay wise, I'd agree that the stealth aspects of the game feel a bit dated for example. Story wise, I'm sure a lot of things could have been told differently, although I won't pretend I'd know how.

    I could discuss at length the many qualities and issues of the game, but a lot of critics, professional or otherwise, have done a better job at it than I ever would. What I can say is that after finishing the game, I felt empty and extremely sad, but in a good way, if that makes sense. Basically there are not that many video games that can make me feel connected to the characters in such a strong way. "Life is Strange" comes to mind, and TLOU1, of course. As such, I'd say this game was a huge hit for me. I know I will still be thinking about this experience 10 years from now.

    Not a 10/10, because 10 to me was TloU1, and I don't think #2 beats it in my heart, but definitely one of the best games on PS4 as far as I'm concerned. Super disappointed that the review bombing has been preventing adult discussions on the flaws and merits of the game.    … Expand

    Playing TLOU2 is an intense, immersive and often painful experience. It is also a deeply meaningful one, which is the real reason this game is a masterpiece, even though it’s not instantly gratifying on an emotional level like most games are.

    This is a very mature game, not (only) because of its gore but above all because of its psychological undertones. It really is a journey to the deepest and darkest recesses of the human soul, akin in many ways to Apocalypse Now. Once you finish TLOU2, you will feel an irrepressible urge to discuss and revisit it with your friends or with the wider world. It will stay in your mind for years.

    Do ignore all the hullabaloo about the game being “political” or having an agenda. Everything is political. TLOU1 also was. Depending on your ideological standpoint, you may consider the game’s morals progressive, reactionary or even cynical or nihilistic. Such ambiguity, rarely found in this medium, makes for exceptional storytelling and elevates TLOU2 above your run-of-the-mill games.

    All the technical achievements you would expect from a highly awaited AAA game are here: the extraordinary visuals, the deeply moving soundtrack (Gustavo Santaolalla will deservedly win many awards for it), the impeccable acting/dialogues and the efficient if not too creative gameplay.

    The reasons why I don’t give TLOU2 a perfect 10 are its occasionally repetitive exploration mechanics, which sometimes clog the pacing, especially the endless need to search every corner of every room for supplies; and a few questionably rushed storyline choices in the second half of the game.

    Still, this is an absolute must-play that will be enjoyed and debated for generations to come. I hope NaughtyDog and Neil Druckmann will someday release a third instalment, no matter how many years it takes to develop it.    … Expand

The game is littered with beautiful and heartbreaking moments, and wonderful characters. The story is told beautifully, despite however “cheap” that story may be as others have claimed.

    The story has been criticized, but after some time to think about it, I am more fond of it than when I initially finished. The story isn’t meant to be fulfilling, it isn’t meant to be a happy ending. The story aims to make you feel the pain and emptiness of the post-outbreak world, while highlighting the complexity of the people in this world. Abby has a real and understandable reason to kill Joel, reflecting how Joel had a real and understandable reason to save Ellie from the hospital (killing Abby’s dad in the process). Although it may be painful for us as players, it’s an open and brutally honest take on the cycles of violence that plague the world of TLOU.

    Where I think this game falls apart is the characters on the WLF side of things. Through the 10 hours you play as Abby, the game attempts to make you realise the pain that Ellie’s crusade brings into the world. And from that angle the story works, however the execution of the characters that are suffering from these effects falls short. None of them are as like-able as the characters from Ellie’s arc, and this causes the story to fail at the emotional high points of Abby’s arc.    … Expand

Really don't understand the hate this games getting other than the people who are hating on it either haven't finished it or went in with their minds already made before even starting. just my two cents, absolutely loved it and will try to platinum on survivor+ when I can get through it without feeling torn apart.    … Expand

I was a big fan of the last of us and enjoyed this game just as much, if not more than the original. The way the game manages to turn you from hating abby for what she did, to really understanding her actions is something I've never seen in a game before. Ellie will always be my favourite of the 2, however her actions throughout are just as violent as abbys. The way they build abbys character through lev and yara is one of my favourite parts about the game. It's probably an unpopular opinion but I'm glad they didn't kill each other and both realised the damage revenge and bitterness can have. All that being said however, I do agree that Joel's death was the most heartbreaking moment of the game and he was definitely missed but that meant the flashback moments felt more emotional. The graphics are the best I've seen in a ps4 game. Finally the gameplay is brilliantly tense, I constantly felt on edge throughout. The only reason this isn't a ten is,as great as the gameplay is, it can get slightly repetitive however it is only a very minor issue in an amazing game.… Expand

I saw one leak that came out 2 months before the game. It was a horrible(for a character) and major plot point. I sat there and thought well I need context. So I stayed away from anything related till I played the game for myself. I finished it last night. Feeling Satisfied yet I didn't always feel that way and I think that was the point. Game play was taken to the next level. Fun and fluid. Getting excited when looting for ammo and upgrades. Feeling terrified when you hear a Clicker or Seeing a Runner dash past you or the Roar of Shambler. When you encounter the infected you must be aggressive. Humans are a little more complex because they have gun, dogs, and tend to rally against you so stealth is mostly a good option. 60% you play as Ellie and her quest for revenge for the loss of a loved one. The other 40% is a new character Abby. The Game plays off the events of part I that bleed into part II. 3 days are with Ellie and those same 3 days as Abby and the ending is the Collision. Abby is hard to put empathy on because of her choice at the beginning of the game. When you play as her you don't care but the game continues to show she was justified and is a decent human but it's hard to turn Babyface (good guy) when you have nuclear heat as a Heel.(bad guy) In this post apocalyptic world good and bad isn't enough it's more grey. It's interesting to see a character you care about turn to revenge and how dark that takes you even if it's out of love. Flipside take a character you don't like and make selfless choices to help others then you begin to feel empathy. The Last of Us is still very much about Joel and Ellie. The scene at the Museum had my smiling and in tears. The Jurassic Park references in that was amazing and loved that. The Father/Daughter relationship is still the core. It's complex. It has to answer the hard questions left by part I. While I don't agree with every story choice doesn't mean it's a bad game and I feel like fans can't get past certain choices and won't experience it for themselves which I kinda get but you have to play the game NOT watch cut scenes to understand the journey. Also the graphics are Apex for PS4! So beautiful to look at. The Last of Us was one the greatest video games. While I don't think Part II surpasses it. I think it's a worthy sequel. The Last Cut scene was sad yet happy.

    This game made me feel so many things. Some positive and some negative but none of the negative ones had to do with the quality of the game. I feel some people were primed to hate the game because they heard reviews about others who hated it and thus that set the tone for them.

Some positive and some negative but none of the negative ones had to do with the quality of the game. I feel some people were primed to hate the game because they heard reviews about others who hated it and thus that set the tone for them.

    The gameplay is smooth and free almost entirely of bugs, the level design is impeccable, the acting is phenomenal, and (what most people had issues with) the story is gritty, dark, and exhausting in the best way possible. I will steer clear of spoilers for the sake of encouraging others to play. In my experience, I went into this with the mindset of "this will be about Ellie and a very different narrative from the first game". While certain parts made me very sad the results, which you need to look at from a human perspective and not a video game perspective, are beautiful. Each character that you get to meet and understand a little bit more about them and their relationship with others although brief at times is just enough to send the message of "this person was important to so and so and now they are gone, they have lost someone dear to them".

    You get to watch characters that you will grow to care about descend into a darker part of their mind than they thought they would. You get to observe how for some loss is not tied to only the death, but also to the loss of hope for all the times they fought and will never get to make up for, all the times they laughed which will never be shared again, and all the ways they shaped you into who you are which you may now come to learn, you can no longer be.

    Some of the deaths, although sudden, do reflect the reality of loss. You can't predict when it will happen and it can be jarring when it is sudden and violent. It can cause anger and in the worst cases violence in those mourning.

    Some view the game as pretentious, trying too hard to show people the dangers of revenge to others and to the self. I can appreciate that feeling. It was a long game and really worked to make the players feel defeated by the end and ready for something new. For me though, that is exactly why the game works. You can tell how each character is exhausted and wants to stop, but something in them keeps them from doing so and makes them blind to their actions until they do something that makes them think "is this too far?".

    This was not the Last of Us (1). This was the Last of Us part 2. Ellie is grown up, she knows things now about Joel and her past and she, as well as the other characters, will be far more complex because of this. This was a Beautiful game, I am on my second playthrough right now and my advice for those hoping to play it: the game is human emotions at their most raw and violent, each character is connected to the others in some way. Remember that when thinking about how you are not connected to a certain character another is or when you are tired of the quest and the struggle, so are they.

    I hope this was helpful and made some sense!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 es un juego horrible por lo que te hace sentir, la injusticia de la vida al perder seres queridos, a veces por capricho, a veces por razones válidas... Todo depende de la perspectiva.
    Mas que cualquier cosa nos dejamos llevar por las emociones humanas, desde el amor hasta lo mas básico siendo el odio, el odio que nos transforma hasta hacernos irreconocibles ante cualquier otro humano, ellie dejando atrás su vida "segura" por vengar a joel es fuerte, sabiendo que el la traicionó en el primer juego, sabemos queque nada se puede hacer una vez que se nos implanta una idea en nuestras cabezas.
    Abby llega a ser una integrante mas en esta narrativa imperfecta, y lo peor es que ella venga la muerte de su padre, siendo que el ciclo se repite terminando al igual que joel, salvando al niño por solo mantenerse bien consigo misma.
    El juego es un 0? No, estas bien loco si piensas que es un 0, por que te mataron un personaje? Ellie es lesbiana?, Amigo, en la vida real la gente muere en el momento menos esperado, y hay homosexuales por todas partes, forzado? Ellie es lela desde el 2014 y si te gustaba que fuera piola, JA gracioso pensar que les duela que un personaje DE FICCION no pueda serlo, pena por que de todas formas se pierde algo de fondo, se pierde el mensaje al quedarnos pensando en la superficie, el problema somos nosotros los humanos, nosotros somos los mas crueles, no los infectados.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went in only seeing the first 2 trailers and that was it. While I didn’t like everything in the game I have to say it is still a great game. Graphics are some of the best I’ve seen on my PS4, the gameplay was also great. I loved trying to sneak around and be as stealthy as possible even though it normally ended with me having to go guns blazing. The story is the only place I felt the game faltered. Playing as Ellie was the best part hands down and the final hour or so of the game with her was my favorite part of the game. Abby I just never could get into as a character. I liked the majority of the characters surrounding her but for some reason couldn’t get to the point where I was rooting for her or even really cared. I’m totally fine with her actions in the beginning and was genuinely surprised when that scene happened and was curious to see her side of things. But in the end even after 10 some odd hours with her I still kept hoping she would be killed off. I’m replaying it again and maybe the second time around I’ll see things I didn’t before or understand things better. Still a great game overall though.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the combination of forgiveness and Revenge perfectly mixes making the game a bitter sweet experience.yes Joel dies in a way that is untraditional to his behavior...But thinking about it logically he’s gotten 5 years older probably in his 50’s and has a new life in a protected place with not many issues,he has no one to protect so he lets his guard down and pays for it.Joel wasn’t supposed to be this great guy,he used violence as a first choice in almost everything in the first game.Him taking Ellie from the hospital was selfish but he tries to make up for what he did and Ellie never forgives him fully for it until the game is finally over.Then Ellie not killing Abby shows that she is finally at peace with Joel’s death and doesn’t need to do what she originally presumed to find peace...killing people.She finds out that trying it get revenge only ends in more pain and death.As we see with Abby after she kills Joel she still has nightmares until saving Yara and lev.Other than that the graphics are the best I’ve ever seen in games.The story though originally looks like a failure I feel over time people will see what it was meant to be delivered as.One last criticism I’d like to have seen a different opening to the game like the museum scene there instead of Joel explaining things we already know to tommy.The game gives you the perfect balance of disliking Abby and liking Abby to the point where you’ve got her in the water you don’t know if you want to kill her or not.Ellie loses everything just to have the feeling of inner peace.Thats all in time it will be scene as a masterpiece.… Expand

    A worthy follow-up, though not quite as good as the first game. Gameplay has been improved greatly with more fluid melee combat and the ability to jump and crawl. Also a few sections with some free-roam/exploration areas that are more open world than the first.

    Story-wise, I think it does well to explore the price venegence takes on people and how trauma can stay with a person long after an event. It also does a good job of making you more sympathetic to characters you start off hating. After finishing the game, I was satisfied with the story, even if it ends on a fairly depressing note    … Expand

Надеюсь, игра выйдет на свою заслуженную оценку со временем, хотя-бы 6-7 баллов, в идеале 8-8.5. Игра правда хороша, это эмоциональные качели, которые должен попробовать каждый. Что же на счет геймплея? Он почти ничем не отличим от первой части, разве что теперь есть более умные NPC и поразительные анимации с расчлененкой. И вы спросите: как же так, ведь за 7 лет игра не изменилась геймплейно! А я вам скажу одну очень простую фразу - "зачем изобретать велосипед заново?" Именно, что незачем, игра прекрасно работает, есть пара-тройка незначительных багов, но это подковыряют в ближайшем патче. Игра не заслуживает такого хейта, ни одна игра такого не заслуживает. Ну, что уж поделать, что-то вроде этого я ожидал, не могла игра такого уровня не вызывать резонанса, но на этот раз ребята что-то перестарались. Ставлю 8 из 10, минус балл за затянутый геймплей и минус балл за не самое лучшее построение сюжета. У меня все!… 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]
