    As the main feature of Last of Us was a story - now this story is very bad.
    When you see how f****st ideology was implemented in scenario, in characters - you see the actual result. You have non-evolving characters, non-interesting gameplay ( gameplay did not evolve from first game), absense of characters motivation in most of cases.
    When you see this game, you just think "It could be a masterpiece. But now... this is politics"    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say that this is one of the best games to come out this year. The scene with Ellie and Joel in the museum was so well thought out, I almost forgot I was in a video game while playing it. TLOU2 was one big emotional rollercoaster pulling at your heart strings the whole way. I especially loved how it went into both sides of the story showing Abby’s perspective as well. It was great to be able to play as this buffed out MMA chick where her takedown was literally strangling out the infected breaking their necks, a character type that not many game’s have really tapped into. When it came to the theater boss fight with Ellie I was a mess because I cared for both characters and their struggles. Both of them felt their side was right but in the end everyone was just fighting against each other for no good reason in all of the chaos. There’s this massive outbreak consuming humans rapidly but everyone was so focused on senseless revenge. I feel like it uncovers humanity’s true nature when calamity ensues. I can’t fathom why the game’s received so much hate. My hats off to you, Naughty Dog! Can’t wait for the 3rd!… Expand

En esta segunda parte, Druckmann continuó con esa idea de proyectar emociones, pero en esta ocasión sentimos que fue mucho más cercano y sentimental para el público, algunas situaciones inesperadas hacen que los personajes tomen más trascendencia y que cada una de las muertes se sienta muy real. Otro aspecto del que no podemos dejar de hablar es el gráfico, sin lugar a dudas aprovecharon absolutamente todo el poder que tenía la PS4 para dar y lograron unos escenarios muy bien logrados con una iluminación casi perfecta y acompañado por un 'soundtrack' y una combinación de sonidos que hacen la experiencia muy inmersiva.… Expand

И пусть для фанатиков некоторые персонажи воздвигнуты в абсолют и расставаться с ними больно, но на этой боли и построена вся игра. С каждым ключевым поворотом ты наблюдаешь грехопадение. Эта игра многоракурсна и не однобока. Весь сюжет пропитан нитями серой морали. Ты сочувствуешь здешними персонажами, понимаешь их действия, который подкреплены прописанной мотивацией и грамотной постановкой сцены. Они выглядят живыми, как и благодаря работе актеров, так и благодаря работе сценаристов и современных технологий. Тебе хочется, чтобы все разошлось, чтобы все кончилось на том, что есть. Но оно не кончается, этот круговорот насилия и кровавой расправы жестокого постапокалипсиса не в состоянии отпустить игрока. Вторая часть сильно паразитирует на первой, но делает это ювелирно, вычерпывая самые соки из эмоций игроков и их воспоминаний. Здешние отсылки являются не только теплым кремом на душу, но и сюжетными твистами, которые добавляют больше смысла в концепцию этого сюжетного тома идеи Нила Дракманна. Все эти моменты пронизывают до мурашек, а в сопровождении с душещипательным саундтреком Густаво Саонтьянолле... это просто невыразимо словами. Подобрать какие либо эмоции сложно для описания этого экстаза при совокуплении всего самого прекрасного в этой игре.

    Игра не перестает удивлять, даже рассчитывая на определенный, конкретный и логичный исход - она дарит очередной, не менее логичный, и объяснимый исход.

    Это я только заикнулся про сюжет. Геймплено эта игра - совершенная версия первой части. Как самостоятельный продукт она сильно проигрывает, но ей удалось разнообразить все, данные от первой части, механики, до их самого интересного развития. Графика и проработка здесь на уровне Red Dead Redemption 2. Труд сотен не будет недооценен. Это шедевр и игра года. Достойное и достаточно смелое продолжение всеми полюбившейся истории, которая расширила свой лор.

As a bad thing, I think it is needlessly too long, they could have deleted some parts easily which were less relevant, and the last hours became to me a little bit tedious, but seeing how the story ends after being playing all these hours I got satisfied.

    In my opinion, it doesn't deserve too much hate, but I admit Naughty Dog probably risked too much in some parts that could have some players got angry about it. Anyway, they advised it was going to be different and would take the player into hard feelings or decisions, and for me they succeed in it and it was a great experience to me!    … Expand

I loved how your feelings for a character changes drastically throw the game, a game that shows you that there are no heroes or villains, there are no winners or losers, there are only human beings trying to survive in an hostile world, a world that shows the monstrosity but also the magnificent of the human race.

    The Last of Us II game-play is very visceral and raw (the animations are insane) and the AI is the best that I have seen in years and like the previous game the art direction is astonishing and beautiful.    … Expand

    Simply one of the most beautiful and well-written games I have ever had the pleasure to play.
    The first one is still my favorite, just for the fact that at the time of playing I had no idea what was waiting for me in that game. But this is just Naughty Dog showing that they are masters at what they do. Thank you, Naughty Dog.

    This is why we need critics. It seems like an outdated thing to have, until a group of you morons decides to get butt hurt over decisions that the developers made (If it were up to you both games would likely have been awful). This was, in my opinion, a masterpiece and a brilliant next step in the Last of Us 2 saga. I can only hope that they do an equally amazing job on Last of Us 3.

    The gameplay has improved a lot giving you more freedom and with more complex and chaotic maps . Really detailed how every weapon affects an enemy .
    The ost is really good and kicks in the right moments . The content in this game is massive but the pacing of it is a little slow in the first part .
    The story of this game takes some risks but it's one of the vest of this gen for sure.

And they can be, but only when done with passion and with a clear vision and direction. When those checks are ticked, videogames are the best type of art because they englobe every single other art there exists in a truly immersive experience. TLOU 2 is the perfect example of that, it's the definition of a masterpiece and no matter you're opinion about it, you can't stay indifferent to it. And that's what good art does, it makes you take a stance, have an opinion and most importantly it makes you feel real ****. You can love it or you can hate it, but you can't deny that TLOU 2 is a result of a company that cares, of a company that wants to do different and push the industry forward. It may not be perfect, but to me, TLOU 2 is the peak of creative storytelling in the medium and the best narrative driven game made to date.… Expand

    I do agree that we played as Abby a little to much, but i grew to understand why she did what she did and actually agreed with what she did because of the death of her dad. I would have done the same thing in that situation.

    Overall I dont think this game deserved to be review bombed so bad when so many people put so much work into the game for our enjoyment.

Even in Joel's last words, you knew it was a long time coming. Gameplay and NPC AI is better than the first game, but not revolutionary. Pacing was also kinda **** with the back and forth via flashbacks. On the plus side this game is more re-playeble compared to the first game, as it is more trophy friendly and more variety in how enemy encounters play out. This also has to do with how big and varied the environments are, resulting in varied and entertaining scenarios with enemies. A second play-through will not play out the same as the first one. Some moments looked like game-play sections at an E3 presentation. Set peace moments are one of the best of this whole generation, even rivaling that of Uncharted's, especially in the Abby sections where the WLF and Saraphites go all out and burning down an whole island. When Ellie killed pregnant Mel, was one of the most shocking gaming moments in history IMO. This game has one of the best cut scenes I have ever seen both on a technical and emotional level. While this game is not as good and revolutionary as the first game, it is still a solid game. While I didn't want to continue after Joel died, I am still glad I did. While this game doesn't deserve GOTY, for the ****ty pacing being the biggest reason, it still should be discussed for years to come.… Expand

    As someone who played through TLoU1 many times, I can tell you the sequel absolutely lives up to expectations. It's really too bad that it's gotten caught up in so much controversy because it is truly a fantastic game. I would highly recommend that any fan of the original play this game.

It's really too bad that it's gotten caught up in so much controversy because it is truly a fantastic game. I would highly recommend that any fan of the original play this game.

    Quick thoughts on specific aspects:

    Gameplay: This is where TLoU really shines. They took everything that was great about the first game and ratcheted it up. The stealth combat sections are incredibly tense and visceral. The AI is fantastic. The maps are large and varied. Crafting and skill trees were upgraded in a way that makes sense and does not feel unnecessarily complicated.

    Visuals: The graphics here are absolutely stunning. From the countless minor touches to the massive set pieces, this is one of the 2-3 best-looking games I've ever played.

    Sound: Same as visuals, the audio here is really top-notch. I especially liked the soundtrack they added for stealth combat sections against human enemies. The music has a tense Nine Inch Nails vibe that makes the encounters so much more tense. Enemy sounds are another standout. Human enemies have an impossibly wide range of audio splashes -- from side conversations to communicating via a whistle-based code ... it's really phenomenal.

    Story: OK, so this is where the controversy comes in. Personally, I loved the story and I loved that Naughty Dog did not go in a predictable fan-service route for the sequel. I won't spoil it, but I did not have any problem with the choices they made. The story is definitely complex and it is NOT the straightforward, linear style we got in the first game. That is why I would definitely recommend 1.) beating the game, and 2.) replaying it before giving the story a final grade. I know it's a lot to ask someone to commit 50-60 hours like that, but I feel like this game is worth it.

    I did have some small issues with the story. First, because of the way the story unfolds, it is difficult to develop the same level of emotional connection to the characters as you did in the first game. This game does some really cool things with flashbacks and perspective changes, but the trade-off is that you're not experiencing the same emotions in the same order as your character. I felt like it all fell into place by the end, which was incredibly satisfying. But it did lessen the emotional investment during first playthrough. This issue goes away almost entirely on subsequent playthroughs, which is why I strongly recommend playing it through twice before making a final judgment.

    The second issue I had was that some of the characters felt underdeveloped - specifically Dina and Jesse. These were great, well-acted characters who both have awesome moments. But they don't feel as fleshed out as some of the characters in the first game. I think this issue comes from the fact that many of the best side characters in the first game (Tess, Bill, Henry/Sam) were only with us for a few chapters, whereas some side characters in TLoU2 are around for much longer. So they have the same amount of character development spread across more screen time, which can make their characters feel kind of watered down and less memorable than some of our favorites from the first game. To be clear, though, this was a MINOR issue.

    Last story point: This may be just me, but my take is that the game ends in a cliffhanger. Not quite your traditional cliffhanger, but I definitely do not think this is the end of the journey for some of these characters.

    Anyway, I highly recommend this game. Ignore the nonsense from the trolls and alt-right goobers who can't handle anything different. This is a fantastic game and absolutely worth playing. Enjoy!    … Expand

    For me though, I find this to be a better game overall than the first game. The story isn't as strong, but strong enough that coupled with gameplay that certainly improves upon its predecessor makes for a better game in my opinion. Speaking of story, there are elements in it that some don't like that I personally don't have a problem with. Some people don't like certain characters, like Abby, though by the end of the game I ended up liking her more than I did early on. There's a serious event that happens near the the beginning that she is connected with and while some don't like this decision, I think that is the only thing that drives the story from that point.

    The big issue I do have with this game is its pacing, especially towards the middle. I thought the choice here was an interesting one, but it was also very jarring after the amount of time spent playing at that point.

    Gameplay-wise, it's definitely an improvement. Combat and stealth feel smoother, crafting mid-encounter doesn't feel like much of a hassle, and simple touches like jumping and going prone add a few more possibilites to encounters.

    It's also worth mentioning that on the technical side of things, to briefly mention, graphics are stunning, both for characters and the world. Character animations are very fluid and lifelike and facial animations are super realistic, especially in cutscenes.

    Overall, while the story of this game holds it back from being anywhere near great, I still think it's a good story. Taking that with some improved gameplay and this is an experience that I find to be better than the first game, in my opinion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel as though this game has been bombarded by people who had the game spoiled for them and either watched a youtuber had a bad time or only focusing on digging up the negative elements.

    My main problem is fans never coming to understand the ending of the original game and viewing the main character from as a unbreakable moral pillar and his death in the second game as pointless shock value. Which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

    I cannot believe people cannot exit the narrative for even a second to see that the end of the first game is a classic trolley problem. You can argue both sides but we have to add the circumstances that Joel also murdered a host of people (including Marlene Ellies only mother figure) to turn the trolley track to hit humanity.

    People even try to break down the fictional universe science using real world science to justify Joel's actions. "The fireflies couldn't have made a cure" is something I hear a lot often levied at the writers (even though there word is usually definite). I don't care about the logistics of a cure. The way I see it Joel would have fought his way through the hospital if it was a 10% chance to make a cure or a 90% maybe even 100%. In Joel's mind he's just saving a girl because he couldn't save his own.

    Even though I think his death scene was handled fine, people have criticisms about how the circumstances of the characters death was handled. I believe that even in a world where he died in fans "perfect circumstances" people would still complain about Joel's death because for the plot to work he has to die horrifically and in the first act.

    People are so angry at this fictional characters death that they are blindsided by rage and go straight into harassing the developers or writers without considering why this character died. It's also not like a real person died, after that point in the game he appears in several flashbacks with some of the best dialogue in the series.

    The part I disliked about the game was Abby's half of the campaign. Not the content but more the structure. The character work is really tight but is let down by the fact that these characters (Abby, Owen, Mel, Manny, WLFs, Nora, etc...) only have 3 days to get as much development as characters that have had whole games to get personalities. The dialogue is all very good

    Some of the theming and comparisons come across as a little heavy handed like the double pregnancies. The game feeds you a lot of information with Abby in such a short time like how she saved a Zebra and how she was in a love triangle, This has lead a lot of people into feeling manipulated by the plot because the game feeds you so many reasons to like abby in such a short time.

    But after coming around to Abby just as a character and not her place in the plot I've come to love the idea that Abby doesn't always know the right thing to do but the people around her do, she's constantly redeemed by the people around her and talk her out of making bad decisions which is really interesting.

    If Abby had been given more time or had somehow been intercut with Ellie. If it were up to me I would have made Abby's campaign optional after completing Ellies because honestly you don't need to know Abby's story before the theater while your invested in Ellie, Ellie only has to feel a little bit of pity by the end of the game for the ending to make sense which Abby's campaign doesn't need to be present for.

    That's just my thoughts on some of the more controversial story elements. But I haven't talked about gameplay.

    I think for single player action adventure tlou2 has no match, I won't go in depth but it is perfect and my grounded playthrough was a once in a lifetime experience

    Puzzles are much more interesting than the first game, a quarter as many ladder puzzles and no water pallet puzzles was great.

    The only chapter where the game started to drag was Jackson and Ellie day 1.

    Music was great but unlike the first there are no tracks i'd listen to outside of setting ambiance.

    Upgrade trees were much tighter than the first.

    Best dynamic animation work in a game since red dead 2.

    Collectibles were fun but I always think there are way to many and that letters shouldn't count.

    Graphically amazing but wish the film grain would go away, also made my ps4 fan go off like crazy.

    The faction and character dialogue writing always stays at the top rung.

    I think I touched everything I wanted to talk about.
