    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think its beyond ridiculous that the low ratings seen for this game are being pinned on premature character deaths or character sexual orientation (get a grip if that's you). If you played the first, watching the brutal murder of Joel from the perspective of ellie truly hurts you to your core, so much so that you might need a break after. The pain of Joel's absence is felt throughout the remainder of the game, even when the credits roll. This creating a driving force for you to progress as ellie and seek the revenge you are hell-bent on seeing through. While some players might be wondering why ellie feels so hurt in Joels murder since we see she finally realised what joel did, this is explained near the end where we see both of them looked towards recovering what was. Only, this was cut short with Joel's death occurring the next day. We then understand that ellie in the finale is not only hurting because of losing what was, but also for what could have been. Now, in regards to abby gameplay, I think this was an excellent strategy for showing there is always two sides to a story. Before, from the last of us 1, I only perceived Joel's act in saving ellie as a gesture showing how far you would go for your family and those you care for, no matter what. But then from abby's perspective, you see the death and destruction caused, which completely devastated all she had and knew. Now aware of both ellie and abby's stories, I found the sequence at the theatre where you (as abby) have to seek out and defeat ellie unsettling. Conflicted isn't a strong enough word to describe my feelings as to who should come out on top.

    This the same as the final sequence. Before, I sympathised with ellie, that abby needed to pay for what she did to joel. this strengthed by the flashbacks to Joel's weak body, battered and struggling to breathe. Yet, as I fought an already broken abby and began close it out by holding her head under the current, I began to wince and wanted it to stop after realising both characters are similar in more ways than I initially thought. It was at this point, the conflict ended and both individuals went their separate ways (thankfully). In a way, some of the negative reviews make a point I can agree with, that the ending feels awkward and unsettling, as ellie tries to play guitar while lacking some of her fingers due to her fight with abby. However, i actually perceive this as naughty dog hitting the nail on the head with how the player should feel after going through this journey. You realise that the pain felt from Joel's death will never leave, the pain will persist forever. Even though abby walks free, you realise that both her and ellie are kindred spirits in a way. Both have been through the ringer, and either one taking out the other will do nothing to fill the massive loss felt within each of them.

    The Last of us 2 has left me with despair on behalf of the ellie and abby losing so much throughout the gameplay. But the resolution from both characters to walk away from this gave me an immense sense of relief that they can both try and move forward. Ultimately, this game made me uncomfortable, hurt, annoyed, frustrated and upset, but in all the right ways. Remember, not every good ending is a happy ending!

    I loved the first game, and I liked this second, the story isn't as the first, but it's okey, it deserved a better ending but with this ending I hope that there's no third part :)

    I like non-binary stealth where there is no perfect cover, and I can always be seen.

    Please play this game before judging it based on reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really hoped that this would not be a banal continuation about Ellie and Joel, who go to some safe place and simultaneously strengthen their relationship again. And how glad I am that the sequel takes a completely different idea for the concept and more deepens me much more as a player in the game world than part 1 did. The second part has the concept of a cycle of revenge, which we will study immediately from two sides of the conflict. I really liked that the first half of the game, we go through revenge, and the second half of the path of redemption. The gameplay has become much deeper and more interesting, and the study of locations has become much more fun. The atmosphere has become much darker and no longer has a division into white and black, which can be seen in 1 part. The Last of Us Part II is the most beautiful game I have ever seen. I like that there are much more moments similar in atmosphere to Resident Evil. The gameplay in the hospital for Abby is definitely one of my favorite moments in the game. As in the first part, I am pleased that I was not given a choice at the end. I'm glad for Ellie that she was able to let go of her revenge and off cycle of pain. And I'm definitely happy for Leo and Abby, who, I hope, will find Fireflies and happiness. Expand

Well, the developers said so that the first part is about love, and the second - about cruelty. Of course I'm waiting for the third part, or any other game from Naughti Dogs, because I know that they will do everything cool. It would have been funnier if they had done a spin off about a character, for example, about the very Abby that many loved. How Abby lived to the second part, how cicadas and so on lived. I am going to buy ps5, and to it and EVIL2. Yes, there will be no such feelings, because I already know what will happen, but the stealth in this game is cool, as in the first part. Wow, I feel that there will be a lot of agressive gameplay on YouTube.
    As for the plot. It seems to me that Tommy was unlikely to behave like in the house when he brought the card and told Ellie that she promised that she would take revenge. Those who are intolerant of attrition can not buy a game, although there are very few such moments about LGBT people and no one is obviously imposing LGBT on you. But, unfortunately, nevertheless, due to minorities, changing the game so that many others hated it was a big mistake, estimates on metacritic will float negatively.
    It is unfortunate that there will be no dlc, as in the first part of left behind. Because before the release of ps5, I will obviously miss this game and in any case, I will at least once review the passage. (Translated with the help of google translator)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the game a lot! I enjoyed the story that really gets me. I don't like Abby, but at the same time I can't not understand what she experienced in her life. Abby and Ellie even if most "gamer" can't see it, are really similar, they both seek revenge and for doing it they lose everything they care about. Abby is not the only happy character in the end cause she lost everyone that she cares about (yeah she got Lev but Ellie got Dina too). I'm sorry for Joel and for the way he was killed but I saw his death miles away, a character that dies doesn't mean that that the game is automatically bad.
    Also yeah the game is brutal, it's brutal to show you that violence is repulsive and on the other si de there are people even if they are your enemies.

    I hate the sex scene, that was bad.

    Don’t get distracted from what you expected from the story or even worse because they dared to show flawed humans or people who are different than yourself. This game shows what games could be and should be, if they want to be challenging. Play it, you will love it. If not, play it again and again. At least you will learn from it, to grow as a human. That says a lot about how beautiful this game is.

    You do start to feel empathy for those characters later on but it would have been better and would have negate some of the negative reviews if they were to help the player achieve empathy towards those characters much more earlier.

    First let me tell you what is undeniable good in the game. Then we can discuss the "bad" part. Graphics: It is really stunning, the lighting, textures, effects. You wont believe is still a PS4 game and pc master race boy is telling you.

    Details: The detail on this game is gargantuan, Unreal. From every póster, every note, objects. You are not longer in a video game room pretending to be a real life place, you are in a real place inside a video game. Every place can tell you a story, each corner shows you how it became stuck in Time, but nature keep moving onward. I found myself looking at every detail in every room and place. Ambientation: You go from breathtaking landscapes to nightmare fuel places, which they were once common crowded places now you have to explore abandoned in the dark. You can feel fear and danger on every step. No apocalyptic world feel so real like this game. Gameplay : Its brutal, dynamic and organic. Every move and Action your characters do has weight and reacts to her surroundings. I never felt safe or powerful, but always with the necesary tools to survive. Acting : yes Acting, since the characters has voice, facial expressions and body languaje, along with prime dialogue writing, sometimes you can forget that they are virtual characters. Now im going to talk about the controversial part. Story. So Minor Spoilers ahead and really helpfull clarifications.

    First, there is no LGBTTIQ agenda. Yes Ellie is lesbian and Lev is transgender, not transexual. But these are character traits, a part of their whole and not a big label.
    You are more into Ellie artístic and geek part, and Lev wisdom and courage and his grow Out of the Shell.

    Second. If you want to play with the charming anti hero that kills every thing without remorse, this is not your game. Joel is no a playable character and the main characters are real people with flaws, but the will to survive. Third and most important. These characters motivations are not clear as water and Their decitions will not be the same as yours, dont try to be rational, they are human beings in a apocalyptic World trying to do what is right or feel right to them.

    That said, if you are mature enough to go along with a simple plot full of the best and the worst human feels, the misery of human nature and the consequences of your actions. Then the game is for you. The ending and the story as a whole will feel like your heart is ripped Out, then crushed and craved in again by your guts. If a game can make you feel that, then is more than a game.

Instead they made a story that is tough, gruelling & directly challenges player motivation, forcing you to instead see the world from other perspectives. A lot of people really really hated this decision.

    ND took risks & told a story that's unique & best told with this specific medium. Trying to avoid spoilers here but they illustrate a point very eloquently; that everyone has motivations & that you have never been playing as 'the good guys'. 'Good' doesn't really exist in this world anymore. They made every inch of the game beautiful & harrowing & the production quality is off the charts. Great voice acting, combat & sound design. It's clear that the gameplay isn't the reason for the low reviews... But the story is something you do have to go into with an open mind. It really really tries to show you that the situations you're in with Joel & Ellie, other characters go through the exact same **** The things you're angry about rn? That's the stuff they're angry about too.

    It's clear though that a lot of people won't be swayed by this. Just try to keep an open mind, let yourself have your understanding n perspectives be opened by the game as you play it, don't feel this emotionally attached to Joel & Ellie. Naturally bc it's a game n you play as them you feel like their actions are your actions & you don't want to believe that the things that you've done are wrong. But they are. & your enemies are actually better people than you are. That's the point of the game. The way it tells this is so clever & meta & most importantly, insanely evocative, hence all of the low scores. But if you think a fresh & norm challenging story is something you're looking for rn, play this.

The story is told from two sides and each side can be understood and their motives understood. If you are single-celled and like a RAM rested on one side, it is better to just stay with your opinion and do not climb with your snot. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне игра очень понравилась! Сам прошёл обе части и являюсь фанатом первой. Игра очень красивая и имеет очень интересные механики. Но есть вопросы к сюжету и поворотам. Я считаю концовку незакончиной. Эли отпускает Джоела и т д но куда она пошла. За Диной? Неизвестно. В интервью от разработчиков о финале не говорится. Да он открыт на случай ДЛС и 3 части. И конец с Эбби где Эли её отпускает. Это говорит что Эли успокаевается и отпускает её. Дина. Она ушла потому что она подумала что Эли за чертой после которой уже нельзя спости человека по этому она уезжает с фермы. Слова из интервью. Я считаю это крайне спорно и ещё есть очень много спорных моментов но игру я считаю для себя Игрой года. Очень реалистичная и не добрая. Есть моменты но грустных и печальных больше. Мне игра очень понравилась и я буду ждать ДЛС и если будет 3 части. Да это будет нескоро но я очень буду ждать. Друзья если вам не нравится игра- это ваше мнение но не ведите ь на обзорщиков которые её хейтят. У каждого своё мнение и его нужно уважать. И не надо ненавидит игру из за показа сексуальные меньшинстве. В игре вполне нормальная любовная линия. Не идеальная но и не ужасная. И в конце. Все негодуют из за сюжета. Он не идеален. Он вполне хорошь. Не могут Ноти Дог сделать лучше чем уже есть на данный момент. Это тоже из интервью. Они раскрыли персонажей, сделали любовные линии, сделали привязанности. В начале я ненавидел персанажа Эбби но потом оказалось что она тоже мстит и в итоге Эли отпускает Эбби не из-за слабости а из-за уважения к Джоелу и к Эбби ибо насилие поражает насилие. И Эли отпускает Джоела после концовка завараживает и даёт почву для интереса и размышления. Я никого не прошу менять точку зрения. Всё равно много гневных отзывов от людей которые даже не играли в игру. Мне просто жалко проект. И из-за этих диванных критиков 3 часть или ДЛС могут не выйти. Я бы поставил 9 из 10 но 1 часть была дополнина плюс меня порадовалапроработка Эли с её синдромом выжившего и постравмотическим синдромом. На этом всё.

    What an absolute gaming masterpiece and narrative juggernaut.

    6 years in the making, the hype surrounding this game is an understatement. How would the developers create a game that’s supposed to be better than their beloved title before it? By taking you through a roller coaster journey of emotions, that is.

    The gameplay is tight all throughout, and every encounter whether it’s against the zombie horde or the plague called humans is absolutely visceral. The tension is palpable in every way, and I think we have the advanced AI programming to thank for the realism offered by this game that only a handful of games can come close to. Each enemy didn’t have its usual programming and their movements are erratic, pushing players to create tactical mistakes and missing their shots more often than your usual third person shooters. The inclusion of dogs didn’t help either, not to mention that the enemy sightlines seem to be infinite most of the time, just like how it is in real life, getting alerted by an unknown watcher whose location you couldn’t pinpoint because listening for noise at that distance is impossible. The addition of verticality by enabling the protagonist to go prone and climb almost all obstacles gave it another level of complexity that enhances the palpability of the game’s encounters and level design.

    The graphics and sound design are absolutely stunning, breathing life into every object and environment, more than any game before it in the PS4. Virtual rain that feels heavy as you stalk through the ruins of a city, the piercing shriek of a far off undead filling you with dread and anticipation, the gurgling of blood from an enemy whose throat I just slit, the small notes on every whiteboard, all the blood stains and scratches on the walls, every crack and crevice, the bantering and background chatter, the ethnic details and emotion on each and every person’s face… all of these are minute but important details that bring the player into the ruined world of the game’s protagonists that I’m more than glad to participate in. I can’t state enough how stunningly beautiful this game is in every possible way.

    So given these praises, why is it being review-bombed by people in Metacritic and other critic sites?

    It’s because of the story. The story is polarizing to a lot of players, and I can see why. But damn, they are missing out. Don’t ever trust these user critics’ aggregated scores. In my opinion, they are babies who continue to be anchored to their expectations based on the previous game that causes their appreciation for the narrative direction of the sequel to sink. The release of the leaks didn't help either on how the story was meant for its intended audience, since there was no context as to why or how things are. So, I'll just say it: the leaks are, unfortunately, partly true, but it isn't the whole story and the leaks are a disservice to the experience of the player. If you've read the leaks, believe me when I say, open your mind and give this a shot. It's an experience worth your time and money.

    TL;DR: Play the game. The story is AMAZING. A narrative force of nature that touches on love lost, the price of vengeance, and moral worth. Absolutely amazing. Couple that with the most breathtaking visuals, heart piercing sound design, challenging and extremely tight gameplay, and you’ve got yourself an absolute masterpiece. What a way for the PS4 to go.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally liked the story and I was surprised the amount of backlash it received. I was surprised that there are a lot of people who wish Ellie finish Abby off in the last fight.

    After playing Abby for quite a while and saw the struggles she faced, I was very sad when they both fight at the beach. Killing each other in order to get revenge would bring us nothing other than self satisfaction. If Abby didn't spare Ellie's life in the theater, most likely she will be dead hanged at the beach. But she did and from my perspective, Ellie came and "saved" her from death. It's a reward for Abby for doing so.Ellie spared Abby's life as well. Which might be in her favour who knows when. I really hope we can see TLOU3 with Abby+Ellie combo but seeing the backlash ot received, it'll be foolish for naughty dog to continue the development for this game.

    It's the end of the world where humans should come together to find a solution to overcome the infected issue but they didn't. This game showed human behaviour at its best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played the first game over 30ish times since it's release and only and couple weeks before the second part came out I went back to the game to get every single trophy available for it. I went through every nook and cranny in the first game, and I'm about to do that for the second. I've watched behind the scenes footage, learned almost everything about the characters and loved each second of it. This game isn't the first game. It's not a story about the lengths a father would go for his daughter. It's about what Ellie would do after losing Joel. (and honestly he should've died in the first game.. The wound he got from the fall alone should've killed him within hours.) and for those complaining about his death, I don't see how this game would've been possible any other way. It would've been just Joel saying "I killed the fireflies to save you" and Ellie would've been moppy for a while but what else could they have done? Try to get a new doctor and basically redo the first game? That's crap. This direction was much more daring and enabled the writers more room to grow Ellie. Get it together. For most of the angry reviews, I can tell they haven't even completed the game but worse than that they nitpick details and explain how they would do it as if they're professional developers or seasoned story writers. Most of them (nearly all) can't even spell "graphics"(or some other easy words) I don't count myself as a professional like Neil Drukmann, or Halley Gross, but I sure as h*ll don't think those bashing the game could've even created a good sentence let alone a beautiful 25 hour long game.
    The characters are deeper than any other shooter based game(or any for that matter).Even the NPCs have names to remind you of the blood you're shedding. Some are deeper than others, some I care more than others, but it would be impossible to make every character as deep as Ellie or Abby. But mind you, they didn't make Joel very deep either. They simply made him a grunt that was irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We still fell inlove because he was new. The only reason he's important is because he found Ellie and that's what made him less of a random person. But Joel, or the idea of him, is a simple man in complicated situations.
    I get if you don't like the story, but this the end result of countless hours spent by the ND team. If you're gonna give it a score give it a fair one. if you're gonna bash something properly explain why. Just cause you personally have anger in you doesn't justify an attack on hundreds of people and their work. This game is art and the fact that there are so many id*ots bashing it proves its great art.

    The game play is fun, and almost completely different from the first game. There are new mechanics which opens your mind to different perspectives and ways to Traverse. The story picks up where we left off almost immediately (and goes back on forth in the time line) and graphics are beautiful (duh) this game is amazing and I really wish people would get it a real chance but that didn't happen.

The game is add the vicious circle of violence, it starts with Abbie killing joel and Ellie wanting revenge, with the twist later in the game you see this from Abbies View, this is the part people hate, gamers playing as Abbie the person they hate, the part people miss is the game being about forgiveness as a player, idots miss this point, the story continues OK, the last part is not really necessary, but all round the game is of a high standard and worth the money, ignore the idiots saying **** like, it has more bugs then fallout 76, I only exprenced one floating gun glitch in my full play through, I highly recommend this game.

The story gives you a feeling of horror in the same way watching documentaries on WW2 Germany does, except imagine that in these documentaries there were massive plot holes and character inconsistencies. both seeing the atrocities of WW2 and playing The Last of Us part II inspires the same feeling of "how could someone do something like this". characters wildly swing between emotions, they do things that you would not imagine them to do, and not in a way that is "oh they are so brave taking these risks" but more, "what has gotten into them". the game tries so hard to be dark and ask intelligent questions of its audience but the writing is clearly not intelligent enough to handle it properly. all in all I rate a 0 out of 10 because no amount of incredible graphics and level design can bring me to ever want to play The Last of Us part II again.

    The Last Of Us Part 2 transcends anything I ever have played, the level of immersion and depth that the world offers is truly unsettling. Whether or not you 'agree' with the way the story was told, I think it's very hard to deny that Naughty Dog has created a world that is as viscous as a post-apocalyptic world should be.

    I don't claim to understand most of the major decisions in the games storytelling, but I believe that's the objective. It doesn't want to come across as a story that has a person controlling it. It wants to be a soul crushing as possible to reinforce the fact that anything can happen to anyone at any time. It leaves you with a massive sense of unease for the safety of the characters you love.

    I hear a lot points made about the feeling of having some sort of agenda forced on to you. I didn't feel that at all. If you have a problem with two women/men kissing and being in a loving relationship, then I would ask you to leave the 1900's and catch up to the rest of us in 2020.

    I feel sorry for everyone that didn't enjoy it or had their opinion corrupted before even playing it, hope you change/open your mind.

    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.
