    Ooo guys, you can`t even imagine how much I want to say...
    In the same moment I do love this game, and hate it. There is a very strong story, which you should to look at, feel it, and realize it. I hate Naughty Dog in one moment - That both of this games have a **** ending, which I hate. Ending - innuendo. This lesbian line in this not destroy main stoty and gameplay. For me, this game

For me, this game shows how really people can`t control their own emotions. I will not say anything about gameplay, BECAUSE IT AMAZING.
    I put a grade 9 because of again **** up ending with a LOT of QUESTIONS, and because a few moments with main story between characters. I`ve played first part meybe 4 or 5 times. But this game, I`ll never play twice, because I don`t want to kill myself emotionally. So, I highly recommend this game to play, to normal people. Neil told us that he write this like an end of the story, but I think, fans will not give him an opportunity to leave it like that. I will dream about 3 part, and this EXACTLY should be THE LAST ONE.

    Piece to all of YOU! :)

    I love ellie and I love the last of us part 2 however playing with abby is something that I do not like at all and the end of ellie seemed very sad to be the last of us that could be the last, but I stay with him time and moments spent with playing with ellie and it is an unforgettable experience.

    An absolute masterpiece. Fantastic story and rewarding gameplay. You probably won't enjoy the story if you only enjoy straightforward simple narrative with black and white characters (and there is nothing wrong with that) so if that's your cup of tea don't expect much from the story. Definitely pick this game up and give it a go. Worth the money and might even make you think.

    Every bit as good as the first, and then some. I like a company that wants to do a bold and controversial story and not just stand pat with a sequel. If you have an open mind, you'll love this game's story. Brutally beautiful and horrifyingly terrific as the first, and the game play is even better than the original. Bravo, Naughty Dog, bravo.

    The story is very good, the music is the best I have ever heared in a video game.It would have deserved a 10 if not for the political aspect which naughtydog implemented, a pitty imo. Im pretty sure the 0-5 reviews are just people who like to rant, even though they didnt play the actual game.

    Best game of the PS4 graphically speaking. Naughty Dog knows how to take advantage of the PS consoles to the max, and The Last of Us II is the irrefutable proof.
    Beautiful settings, amazing storytelling, character development is well worked. Combat feels super realistic, when taking a shot or an arrow, you really feel the impact and can’t rush the shooter like most games or you’ll be

    I also enjoyed the brutality of combat and the presence of gore (you can blow an enemy head and leg with a shotgun) , I think it adds more to the ambience of the game.

Like many other users, this sometimes included rage. HOWEVER, honestly after finishing the game and playing the whole way through I left feeling honestly quite satisfied with the game as a whole. Admittedly, I did take some time away from the game in the middle when I felt like my negative emotions were affecting my ability to play the game without bias, and when I returned it honestly felt a lot better. I'm usually the sort of person to play through a whole game as fast as possible, but THIS IS NOT THE GAME FOR THAT - if you want to process the point of the plot that is. Ultimately, this is a story about the terrible cycle of revenge and how it affects yourself and the people around you. We as players all seem to have successfully taken on the anger and vengeful emotions that the story tries to evoke in us, but haven't embraced the message the game is trying to portray - that we need to let these go.

    Outside of the plot, the gameplay is actually markedly improved compared to the first one, there are a number of small changes and details that make the game very satisfying to play. The game also has a brilliant soundtrack. There are new types of enemies to fight, with some new and old mechanics mixed in and this gives the game a fresh sort of challenge to navigate. The exploration is much nicer in this than the original, just in my own opinion.

    This game series has always been about highlighting some of the awful parts of humanity, mixed with both moments of tranquility and despair and honestly I think this game does continue those themes beautifully - if frustratingly, at first. I honestly reckon you should take the time to give it a shot, and take it at a pace where you won't be judging everything you see at first glance.

Perhaps told the story in the wrong order which led to a pretty uncomfortable few hours. Despite this, it does bring things back around to stick the landing! A number of newly introduced characters needed fleshing out and just generally better character development, but overall an excellent game and well worth your time. Expand

    Just like the first game, it feels like you are playing a movie with your controller. So many of your emotions will be played on during the 20 to 35 hours of intense gameplay.

At times the game seems to be a very odd pace, for example there will be a major firefight then intense battle with infected then nothing... nothing but exploring for an extended period of time and collecting items for the next big fight. This would be my only thing I dislike about the game, the uneven pacing involved. Other then that I loved the game. At certain times it was hard to play because of how intense the storyline is. Neil druckman was not kidding when he said this game is about the vicious horrible cycle of violence, there is no real bad guys in the game, no right or wrong. Just violence, hate and revenge, but pieced together in a way you understand and see why it is happening between the different groups of people. It forces you to see the differnt points of view, and even tho you might not like certain characters in the game for the things they’ve done or the choices they make, after time you’ll come to understand fully why each character does the things they do, even if their actions are HORRIBLE,
    But, this game is amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND playing it, at times you’ll want to shut it off and quit playing. DONT, keep going, keep going till you reach the end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is for the storytelling part, as I was a backseat gamer for this game.

    As a person who can't handle horror themed content but loves a good story I have decided to watch others play this game and the one before it.

    We fell in love with Joel and Ellie in the first installment. When Joel killed all these people and rescued Ellie from death I felt relief but also knew that Joel just erased humanity's one shot to find a cure. He killed many people, including Abby's dad whom was the only person who could try and make a cure.

    At the beginning of the second game Joel is killed by Abby in front of Ellie, and it immediately makes us hate her guts.
    Then at the second half of the game we get to play as her again, get to hear her stories, see her past, her attachments to her dad (again, Joel killed him) and her friends that we just killed as Ellie. I don't know about you guys - but by the end of the game I just hoped they would stop trying to kill each other. They hurt each other enough. Even though I feel like I can't forgive Abby for what she had done I also feel like I no longer has a desire to see Ellie kills her.

    So when Ellie finally let go, I was relieved.

    The story did it's job by making me see the other side and eventually get off the revenge horse they had put me on in the first place.
    Abby's revenge ruined her relationships and got her friends killed.
    Ellie's revenge got Jesse killed and almost Dina, and might have ruined her relationship with her.
    So now it's time to let go and focus on the things that truly matters.

    I gave it an 8 out of 10 because it was not executed, in my opinion, in a way that was compelling enough to make you super invested in both Ellie's and Abby's stories. It's only around when they actually get to confront each other that it got interesting and intense. But their journeys for the most part was not as such.

Life is not just about revenge, and we may lose the good things in life by taking revenge. Revenge can have many consequences for us, of which we are unaware and when we lose our loved ones, we realize our actions (Abby lost her group and Owen , Ellie lost Jessy, and Dina left Ellie)

    I think some of the handling of Ellie's transition from the theatre original enounter with Abby, to her farm life, to the return to her hunt would have been better. It felt the weakest part story wise , her PTSD wasn't very explored and I think the Tommy scene was clumbsy as a triggeru. It also suprised me as Tommy seemed more motivated when he did than originally after Joel's death..

    Having watched review after review, comment after comment, and seeing the overwhelming hate for this title, I admit that I waited about a week before I decided to pick this up.

    And I wish I hadn’t.

    I wish I was there on release day grabbing a copy.

    Gameplay is amazing. Graphics are the best I think I’ve seen on ANY console. Acting is superb.

    And you know what?

    The story is actually good. Not GREAT.....but good.

    I can understand why people would be frustrated with this story, but the level of hate this title has received is, IMHO, completely unfounded and unwarranted.

    It takes some chances. Sometimes it pans out. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    But you will regret not taking the time to immerse yourself in this world again.

    Replay value is alright. I wish that Naughty Dog would come up with some extra episodes via DLC, but it is still a title that can stand on its own.

    When the people who worked on this claim that it has to “be experienced”, they weren’t kidding. It’s just one of those thing you have to play to appreciate.

    Give this a chance. This is easily one of the DEFINING games for the PlayStation 4, and, I believe, a defining game for this generation.

    I really enjoyed playing this game. In my opinion, the inclusion of minorities wasn’t forced, actually, they weren’t such a big deal, which makes it cool, because this topics shouldn’t be ‘a deal’. Besides, the story wasn’t at all linear and the ending portraits the paths of life which are guided by the choices we make.

Да, первая часть дала незабываемый опыт и смогла передать чувство, которое испытывал Джоэл по отношению к Элли. Но вторая часть всем своим "естеством" пытается окунуть игрока в нужное состояние. Здесь абсолютно всё играет на сюжет, будь то музыка или игровой процесс. Вы переживёте весь спектр эмоции, который ощущает каждый персонаж. Почти за каждого второстепенного героя у вас будет возможность создать собственное впечатление. Музыка не оставит вас безразличным к звуковому сопровождению. Каждое движение, шум, и мотив заставит прочувствовать то или иное состояние. Огромная благодарность за это композитору. Спасибо за крутые анимации и динамику боя, спасибо за хороший дизайн и красивую остановку! Очень доволен игрой и эмоция, которые она вызвала. Expand

I sorta had a empty feeling by the time Ellie got to Seattle and begun her quest for revenge, and that empty feeling stayed with me throughout the whole game. But it wasn’t my story to tell. But in a way that empty sad feeling I had throughout the game was naughty dogs plan. They wanted the player to feel the lose and the sadness. The gameplay is the best I’ve ever experienced Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego no es perfecto, pero no es malo. Me parece una burla a todos los desarrolladores las personas que le ponen cero sin haberlo jugado, o porque no es lo que esperaban. The last of us parte 2 no es un juego de venganza, es un juego de búsqueda de sentido a la vida.
    Tiene errores sí, pero sin esos errores no sería lo mismo, fue una tortura emocional pasar ciertas partes del juego, pero no sería lo mismo sin esas emociones. Al final ¿no somos humanos también?

    Esta historia es una de las más reales que he visto en el medio, y que complementa lo bien escrita que estaba la del primer juego. Joel muere, es verdad, pero el ya había cerrado su arco narrativo en el primero. Esta no es una historia de héroe vs villano, sino de villano vs villano. El héroe ha sido deshumanizado gracias a sus errores) manzana del eden) y la villana, ha sido humanizada gracias a sus acciones.

    DE ES PROBAR EL Juego, te puede gustar más o menos. Pero el chiste es que experimentes esta emocional historia por completo.

This review will be spoiler free for those of you who’ve stayed clear of the hysteria surrounding the plot. Some details will be adressed but nothing too serious. Gameplay: TheNow that the initial hype has passed and the spoilers about the plot and ending has done it’s victory lap around the internet we can finally sit down and review this game for what it is; a truly magnificent game. This review will be spoiler free for those of you who’ve stayed clear of the hysteria surrounding the plot. Some details will be adressed but nothing too serious. Gameplay: The gameplay is what we’ve come to expect from the power house that is Naughty Dog. The controls are crisp and moving the protagonists around is a pure joy. Nothing feels better than to sneak around in the bushes waiting for an enemy to emerge. The proning function is so well done that going back to the first game actually feels weird. Every movement is smooth and doesn’t feel like an animation. Except for some minor glitches, that is. The A.I. Is also miles better than the original. The human enemies are accurate and quite formidable foes. Some of the larger enemies feels like a treath even late in the game when you’ve maxed out your stats. The infected is also handled really well. One of the few flaws of the first game is that the difference between Runners and Stalkers were quite thin, but this time around they really feel like different species, or at least different stages of infection, and are given very well designed areas to perform. The Clickers are much harder to manouver around and the Bloaters really feel like unstoppable creatures. The first time you meet one is handled like an unceremonious boss fight. The additional two new infected feels like natural additions, even though you only meet the second one once. Luckily.

    Design: This game looks good. Like, really good. This is as good as PS4 can get. Of course excluding Ghost of Tsushima and the yet to be released Cyberpunk 2077. The areas you play through is very well handled and it looks like Naughty Dog learned a lot from Uncharted 4. The level design is stellar and there are few games who can front that magnificent open landscape and terrifyingly claustrophobic hallways as good as The Last of Us part 2. There are so many ways to manouver around each sequence and it really encourages you to try each setting multible times. It’s really satisfying trying to pick of enemies one at a time once you’ve learned the layout or going balls out Rambo with running and shooting. Naughty Dog has also included so many small details that you’ll probably never really see if you’re not looking for them but really adds to the whole experience. This game also has some really gory moments that feels quite shocking. You never really get used to the grafical image of an enemies’ head’s interaction with your shotgun. Story:
    First of: This is not a happy story. It’s not meant to be a happy story. This is a world where happy stories are a rarity and every step along the way feels like you are stepping deeper into an infected rabbit hole. We pick up the pace 4 years since we last left Ellie and Joel. Things have been quiet and prosperous in the town of Jackson but after the events that shocked fans of the series we follow Ellie as she is going for revenge. Her journey takes us to Seattle and down memory lane and we really get to know her motivations and follow her relationships. She feels like a real person. She acts like a real person and she is a deeply flawed and conflicted character. On the other hand we also play as Abby, another broken character living in this post-apocalyptic world also searching for revenge and vindication. We get to know these young women whether we like to or not and the balance between what’s right and wrong are definetly tested in this game. Neil Druckman and Naughty Dog has gotten a lot of hate for their choices but this is a game that not only tests the characters within the game but also you as a player. The story is as good as it gets in a video game and multi-dimensional protaginists like Ellie and Abby are very hard to come by. Both of the characters have their own arc and fits well in with the tone and the world of The Last of Us. This is an exceptionaly well made game. This game will stay with you long after you’ve played it. The story will still sit with you the same way a good book sits with you. This type of game only comes once or twice between each platform generation and you don’t want to miss it.

    Honestly the best game I've ever played. A brutal post apo survival horror with a story line that makes you think - taking it's own turn away from the standard black/white morality in video games. Smooth and long gameplay. This game redefined storytelling, and did it with inclusive characters, it's possible! Keep an open mind and play it, you will be rewarded.

    Just finished the game and i gotta say tlo2 was a great game overall. first time i experienced this kind of emotionnal impact on a video game. Every game should use more nuanced characters and unpredictable plot lines like this game does.

    Sure it's not perfect, the game is a little too long and definetely lacks rythm for a good part of its 30-40 hours it takes to finish it. Gameplay wise

    Don't judge the game or the plot by the user reviews, i specifically created a metacritic account to write this review and counter all the review bombing wich is objectively really unfair... All this talk about not respecting the carachters is nonsense : as users we don't get to vote on wichever direction the creators should have taken. People are unhappy about the plot choices but if it were otherwise they would complain on how its too predictable and on how they took no risks... Every gamer needs to try tlo2 because at the end of the day all you can do is appreciate all the work that's been done on this. Thanks to all the devellopers and naughty dog for this unique experience.

    This game is perfect in what Naughty Dog intended it to be: a deep and personal story.

    Many people will feel like the story is inconclusive (and maybe they are right), but if there is a part 3, this game will be remembered as a great sequel. The gameplay retained the formula of the first game, and that is great.

    Hard to like, but it feels essential to the whole "last of us" story moving forward. I have some issues and questions with some elements in the game, but otherwise it was a complex, hard to swallow, and super divisive. All I wanted to feel as the credits were rolling was hope in a very desperate way.

    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]
