    Un gameplay stupendo ma contornato da una storia e delle idee così stupide e pesantemente politiche che nonostante il gameplay non posso consigliarlo.

    La critica ne parlerà sempre bene, molti youtubers pure, perché ricevono le copie, i press kit, gli inviti alle anteprime e altro, quindi vanno in conflitto di interessi e non possono essere sinceri, si, anche lo youtuber x che ti sta tanto simpatico e di cui ti fidi, anche lui!
    Il primo aveva una storia bellissima, le pecche stavano nella ripetitività del gameplay e di alcune situazioni, qui invece abbiamo un gameplay bello, seppur ripetitivo, ma mannaggia che stupido il resto e che personaggi odiosi.
    Una storia di vendetta in cui ammazzi tutti tranne chi se lo merita, e dovremmo empatizzare con la protagonista.
    Molto meglio la seconda protagonista per coerenza, peccato che anche la sua parte sarà brutta narrativamente perché in compagnia di 2 personaggi orribili di cui uno politicamente corretto.
    Delusione totale.

    Сюжет очень интересный, не хуже чем в первой части, мир интересно исследовать, записки, левлдизайн, атмосфера умершего мир, всё на высшем уровне, графика на моей слимке выглядит невероятно, безумно красивый саудтрек.
    геймплей тоже очень затягивает. стребля, стелс, простые головоломки, диалоги персонажей.
    нравиться как в этой игры прописаны персонажи, у них есть характер, они развиваться и за ними действительно интересно наблюдать.
    есть я так доволен игрой, тогда почему всего 8 баллов?
    как сильно я обожаю эту игру, так же сильно и ненавижу...
    вторая половина игры за эбби, это ужас.
    её мотивы мне не понятны, она выглядит как танк, мне не жаль этого персонажа, у меня нет никакого сопереживания к нему, она просто ужасна.
    к тому же, после того что она сделала, играть за неё буквально не хочется, омерзительная женщина.
    но финал игры опять даёт кучу эмоций, на которых ты уже и строишь у себя в голове вывод о том какая это игры.
    в чём сюжет собственно?
    СПОЙЛЕРЫ!
    джоэл убил отца эбби задолго до событий второй части, чтобы спасти свою дочь в виде элли, потому что под конец первой части игры, он любил её как собственную дочь, заменив сару в лице элли.
    после чего эбби начинает искать человека который убил её отца, собирает команду людей, которые хотели отомстить, отобрав жизнь у джоэла.
    они таки свершили месть на глазах у элли, после чего уже элли готовит свой план мести этим людям.
    идя по их головам по голову эбби. после чего она решает встать на путь истинный, когда эбби даёт ей шанс, понимаю во что это может перерасти. в конце концов месть забирает у элли всё и она остаётся совсем одна.

    One word, MASTERPIECE.
    I can understand that for somebody it may be a masterpiece and others not, but there is no such thing as this game has 5.7 by users, a game that deserves a rating between 9.5 and 10.
    Maybe, MAYBE, the only "negative point" is longevity, for somebody the story may seem a bit elongated, but not for everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A continuação do jogo tem falhas constantes na iluminação simples, demonstra constante serrilhados. Toda a história construída para Ellie e Joel foram abandonadas, sendo o inteligente senhor que não confia nem na própria sombra para um bobalhão e morreu de forma alheia por um erro que jamais cometeria no primeiro jogo. O jogo não é focado nos zumbis e muito menos numa gameplay, as bossfights do primeiro jogo NÃO EXISTEM na sequência, uma mecânica de tiro qualquer, nada de grande. O jogo escancaradamente segue uma óbvia pauta, obviamente, não se deve proibir os desenvolvedores de colocarem pautas atuais, só que é vergonhoso ver a história e cutscenes perdendo muita qualidade por conta de alienação ideológica. Os momentos de tensão, na sua grande maioria de vezes, é desnecessário e não inclui no desenvolvimento dos personagens ou da própria Ellie, como a morte daquela cão que a atacou depois que ela caiu da ventilação. A piada vergonhosa do sanduíche e o "Oi, eu sou o Joel, esse aqui é meu irmão Tommy" mostram como o jogo se tornou, de um clichê com um amado protagonista e uma promissora lore, para um jogo que não foca nos zumbis e apenas num relacionamento estereotipado pela mídia mainstream e pautas idiotas que acham que podem interferir nas vidas de todos Expand

    The Last of Us part 2 is pure trash, it's a story about getting revenge against the new character Abby for killing Joel and guess what it's a revenge story with no pay off in the end. Abby gets away because revenge bad and Ellie is to weak to carry it out. For a game that acts like it's a perfect master piece it sure doesn't feel like it more like The Last of Us is an overrated pile of pig S@^&.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's hard to recall a game that made me as emotionally invested as the last of us 2. It's all down to a narrative that can only find it's true footing in video games, as it's predecessor the plot drives the story forward but it twists it's ending via character development.

    There are a few things I can safely say before spoiling any of the story so I will just point out a few characteristics of the game:

    Naughty Dog has improved once again on it's combat mechanics, the fight and flight approach has been enhanced and it's at the core of the last of us 2 gameplay. It gives you many tools to accomplish your goals and in doing so offers players many ways to approach combat. If you enjoyed the combat in games like Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us, the combat here will feel even fresher and better.

    I don't care so much about graphics, but this game is impressive in it's presentation. It pushes PS4 to it's limit and delivers environments filled with details bringing a sense of immersion to the player. The cutscenes are impressive and they help hammer the narrative home.

    SPOILERS FROM HERE ONWARDS

    It's impossible to speak about the story without going into spoiler territory so here it goes: From the beginning of the journey you find yourself in a revenge story, one of our favourite characters in gaming history, Joel, is killed by Abby a freshly introduced character that we briefly get to play. The game then sets you and Abby down an intersecting path, where you are pitted against each other for revenge. When you finally find her the game takes a huge break to set you in the shoes of Abby, we play as her for a long time and we start to understand her a little by little.

    Thanks to the unique ways that games can tell stories, we slowly see how Abby herself starts to grow on us, we see that much like Joel she is jaded and going through the motions after experiencing grief. Through saving a couple of scars we see her humanity and start to strongly empathize with her as a character.

    I initially doubted this was going to work for me, at first I felt so much rage playing through Ellie's story, but when I was in Abby's shoes she started to slowly grow on me, from saving Lev and Yara, seeing her relationship with her dad, going to an infected zone to secure medical supplies, beating a huge monstrosity; I finally understood better the side of her story.

    At the end I didn't want Ellie or Abby to die and I wanted each one to have a good life. I felt I went through a lot emotionally and it's all thanks to an ambitious narrative that pays off.

    To some of the criticism that I've seen:

    LGBTQ+ agenda: I don't think there is a political stand on this, the game is just portraying sexuality how it is. To anyone complaining that LGBT characters are only present in the sequel, I have to remind them of Bill who is clearly gay in part 1 and the DLC also shows Ellie's story and she's always been into girls.

    Narrative: I understand those who feel like Joel death was too much, I think that is the reason that the game set you emotionally on the same revenge path as Ellie and it worked incredibly well for me. Joel death is caused by his past actions, not only killing the doc and the fireflies but also the fact that he gets softer through the story of the Last of Us, through caring for Ellie, till the point that trusting other people causes him to lose his life.

    The ending worked incredibly well for me, the fact that the plot doesn't finish with Ellie killing Abby is a a great subversion of expectation, we as players don't want to see Abbie die, and it's Joel's memories that stop her. In the end because of the fight with Abby she loses her ability to play guitar, but it's maybe what she needed in order to learn to live with the past. In a weird way it's thanks to Ellie that Abby and Lev end up surviving and we are weirdly thankful for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O que eles fizeram com o legado do primeiro jogo é criminoso. História PÉSSIMA, uma bagunça que é fruto de preguiça e falta de talento. Todo mundo esperando uma continuidade da história de Ellie e Joel e o que recebemos é este asqueroso pedaço de merda. E não tem nada a ver com preconceito com personagens LGBTQIA+ (ainda que a abordagem não pareça nem um pouco natural em um mundo pós-apocalíptico), ou por não aceitar a morte do Joel, mas sim com a maneira porca com que entregaram o jogo. Depois de tanto tempo, eu pensei que eles tinham uma ideia legal para a parte 2, aí aparecem com um plot genérico de vingança, escolhendo um parente de uma das muitas pessoas que Joel matou no primeiro jogo como protagonista? É sério? Além da história podre, o jogo não é toda essa perfeição técnica, não. Existem bugs na gameplay, a mira é MUITO sensível (mesmo ajustando), os clickers parecem te detectar de maneira aleatória, existem seres humanos com ossos largos que recebem flechadas no meio da testa e não morrem, etc. Enfim, uma fétida e grotesca obra da Naughty Dog. Pecaram feio nessa. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Después de jugarlo y re-jugarlo varias veces, sencillamente este juego me pareció una obra maestra.
    Desde una jugabilidad espectacular y disfrutable; a una historia llena de sorpresas, momentos de suspenso y angustia o también de alegría y felicidad, todo esto puede transcurrir en solo unos pocos segundos y que definitivamente deja atrapado al espectador.

    Historia:

    Este juego se atrevió a pisar un terreno muy peligros, destrozando algo muy significativo para los jugadores que disfrutaron enormemente (incluyéndome) la primera entrega de esta saga, lo cual genera una gran brecha en las opiniones.
    En los personal es algo original y arriesgado y el resultado final fue muy bueno, logrando una mezcla de emociones y sentimientos en los diversos personajes al entender sus situaciones.
    Talvez un punto bajo de esto es que al introducir personajes nuevos a esta entrega, esas emociones que el juego trata de que el espectador lo sienta no son tal fuertes o comprensibles como con los personajes de la entrega anterior, pero también es algo muy poco frecuente e interesante este tipo de situaciones.

    Arte:

    La música que interpreta el ambiente, los escenarios post-apocalípticos llenos de infectos, los barrios abandonados, o los diversos asentamientos de sobrevivientes, son simplemente hermosos y cautivadores.

    Gameplay:

    Probablemente la parte mas importante de un juego.
    La gran variedad de armas y mecánicas permiten distintos estilos de juego para enfrentarse con los múltiples enemigos, desde infectados espeluznantes a personas de varios asentamientos diferentes.
    puedes elegir el estilo dependiendo de los recursos disponibles o la situación en la que te encuentres.
    La inteligencia artificial de los npc's es difícil de vencer.
    La dificultad dependerá de los ajustes, puedes jugar con modificaciones como la munición infinita, o tratar de acabar el juego con solo un intento en la modalidad mas desafiante.

    para finaliza, lo malo:
    Hay algunas situaciones donde existen pequeños erros lógicos en el diseño del juego, como por ejemplo:
    - Cuando Ellie ataca a Abby cuando esta le persigue en el teatro con un bate en lugar de su escopeta.
    - Cuando Abby y Joel llegan al campamento de los lobos, estos ya están preparados para luchar con los infectados.

    Estos son erros muy imperceptibles pero decisivos y que pueden generar incoherencia, es sorprendente para un juego que se enfoca tanto en los pequeños detalles.

    Aun así en lo personal no es algo muy influyente, ya que la gran mayoría de obras tienen estos errores que son muy difíciles percibir (la primera vez que lo jugué no me percate de nada de esto),

    En resumen: es un juego que valió la pena totalmente, y que lo seguiré jugado anualmente por que es muy re-jugable por el gameplay desafiante y entretenido al igual que el gran ambiente de suspenso que genera la historia, como dije al inicio sencillamente es una obra maestra.

Now the story… I’m gonna say it, it’s okay. Again, non-spoiler, but I understand peoples frustrations and being upset, especially the order of things to come, but I feel it was necessary for the game to progress as it did. Now that being said, it is not as good as the first game. In my opinion, the reason so many people hate this game is because they gave up on it at the start and never gave it a true chance for you to experience it but instead they shut down and refused to give it a chance. If I had to pick, of course I would pick the original but only because, like all things, the sequel can be good but never as good as the first. Expand

    In most arenas with opponents, the gameplay works something like this:
    you enter a vast location and start your journey in secret, after killing one of the victims you may be noticed, then an action scene will begin, usually in stealth action games this is where the end of the battle begins, due to a shortage of ammunition you will not be able to kill all opponents and you will have to hide. The game gives you smooth transitions between action and stealth that many stealth action games don't have.
    The plot of the game is powerful, I can say that I liked the story and I do not see any critical disadvantages in it that completely break the game.
    Technically, the game is made superbly on PS4, there are no FPS drops and in general everything is played comfortably.

    Эта игра была совершенно незаслуженно отменена.
    В TLOUII одни из лучших анимаций в индустрии, прекрасный дизайн уровней, интересный геймплей, не имеющий аналогов, это не просто стелс-экшен.
    На большинстве арен с противниками игровой процесс работает примерно так:
    вы входите в обширную локацию и начинаете свое путешествие тайком, после убийства одной из жертв вас могут заметить, далее начнется экшн сцена, обычно в стелс экшенах именно с этого и начинается конец боя, из-за нехватки боеприпасов вы не сможете убить всех противников и вам придется прятаться. Игра дает вам плавные переходы между экшном и стелсом, которых нет во многих стелс-играх.
    Сюжет у игры мощный, могу сказать, что сюжет мне понравился и я не вижу в нем каких-то критических минусов, которые полностью ломают игру.
    Технически игра сделана великолепно на PS4, просадок фпс нет и вообще все играется комфортно.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the story, loved the characters.

    All developed as should.
    We already knew TLOU1 Ellie, but this Ellie, she was different. She wasn't the sane person Joel tried to "make". She was reckless, driven by fury with only one goal in mind. Revenge. She had the chance to get what she wanted, twice but deep down she knew that by killing Abby she was no different. But it was too late at that point. All was lost.

    Abby started as a character meant to be hated. And she was. The first hours as Abby were a punch in the gut, as if the story tried to make fun of the love we had for Joel. But...was she right after all? Was Joel's actions really the correct ones? Or was Abby right to act the way she did. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Her motives were right but here actions, just like Ellie's were driven by the wrong reasons. She overstepped and she ruined the lives of many people including her own. She changed however. She had the chance to kill Ellie but because of Lev, the "thing" as Isaac described him, who he saved and who, in my mind, was a mirror of TLOU1 Joel and Ellie.

    Lastly, the irony of it all. The only thing that Ellie managed was to save Abby. And that completes a perfect circle in my opinion making this game one of the best storytelling experiences.

    I can't be bothered to analyse the next part but the only negative was the gameplay. The stealth mechanics were unchanged and boring and every time I came across Scars, or Wolves, or zombies, or in the end Rattlers, the game was more of a hassle than an enjoyable experience.

    It sold 10 million plus copies for a reason, and that’s cause it’s a good game. The internet is an echo chamber guys - Twitter isn’t real life, Reddit isn’t real life, and yes, metacritic isn’t real life.

    Sound - 10. Superb audio layering and 7.1 surround sound, punctuated by industry leading voice acting.

    Story - 8. The biggest problem with TLOU 2’s story isn’t the non-existent “plot holes”, or it’s supposed “wokeness” (gay people exist, cope), but rather it’s pacing. The pacing of TLOU 1 is flawless. The pacing of TLOU 2 is all over the place. This is because of the dual narrative arch’s and many flashback sequences that show how Ellie’s relationship with Joel changed since the ending of the first game. As far as the actual narrative itself though, it’s strong. Like tlou 1 the premise is simple, but it’s the characters that give the story depth. The way they emote, the way they say one thing and do another, they way can convey so much with just subtle glances. Tlou 1 did all these things before very well, and tlou 2 follows suit.

    Gameplay - 10. Massive improvement over part one. Anyone who says they are the same is being intellectually dishonest or wearing rose tinted goggles. Part 1 feels very dated in all aspects except story at this point, it’s nearly 9 years old. The ability to break glass, go prone, and jump coupled with open ended arenas is a big improvement over the first game. You can disagree, but you’re wrong.

    Final score: 9. Beat it twice, probs gonna go for a 3rd run when tlou part 1 is released.

What started out as disappointing for me with the way Joel was handled and his demise, came round full circle at the end and left me feeling sad but pleased with how the story rounded out. This game is an emotional rollercoaster, there really is no other way to describe it and only at the end do you get the full picture. It's method of storytelling is creative, captivating and haunting all at the same time. The world Naughty Dog have created feels so real and terrifying.

    It tears it all down to build it back up again. I understand some people don't like the fact that Joel died, but the previous story was done.
    This was a great continuation of the characters story, and the addition of Abby makes you see that the way we've been shown it's not the only way, and the same story always has two sides, both of them right in this case.
    Wonderfully crafted, it makes you care about the 'bad one'. If you're one of those who doesn't like playing as Abby because she killed Joel, push trough the initial uneasiness and you will see that she is also a victim as much as Ellie.

    I want to start off that I was never a big fan of the original game's gameplay. I found it a bit dull and repetitive and it never really made me want to play it again. I only played my second play through recently so that I could have the storyline fresh in my mind before playing part II. The story on the other hand was very well done. I would give the original an 8 overall for a score.I want to start off that I was never a big fan of the original game's gameplay.

I only played my second play through recently so that I could have the storyline fresh in my mind before playing part II. The story on the other hand was very well done. I would give the original an 8 overall for a score. Part II pretty much follows the exact same gameplay and I again I found it dull and repetitive. It gets really boring when 40% of your gameplay is scrounging for supplies. I also think they should have had more development with the monsters. Whenever they stuck with that it was scary, tense, and fun. I think the most fun I had with the gameplay was fighting that big monster. It was different and it caught me by surprise. Fighting mostly humans got boring quickly.

    Graphics/Sound

    Graphically the game looks amazing. There is a cutscene where it shows Abby waking up and it looked so real I thought it was a video. I also like realistic violent animations they added. A lot of people complained about that but I loved it. I also loved the little touches of humanity they sprinkled in such as people yelling their comrade's name when they died or when Ellie sneaks a stealth kill and she whispers things like "Got you f**ker!" I chuckled every time after a kill when Ellie would say something like, "Dick!" . LOL It was so Ellie, I loved it. The sound of people gurgling and choking on their own blood as you sliced their throats, it was so creepy and awesome. Job well done on that front. The music was great and the guitar playing was also a nice touch.

    Acting

    Top-notch as expected. All of the actors involved are triple A VO and they even had Jeffery Wright who is a triple A Hollywood actor in a bit part. I thought that was cool.

    Story

    This is where the game falters, I think. The overall story and morale were good it was just executed quite poorly. A lot of the mistakes made by the characters were just so strange it made it hard for people to believe it. Even though I loved playing as Abby it just didn't feel right switching over to her character when you reached the crescendo with Ellie. I heard someone else say it might have been better if they alternated chapters and I agree. I think that would have worked. I also think they were quite heavy-handed with the debbie downers (depressing aspects). It's like the game's main mission was to make you feel as miserable as possible. I like a sad story but this was just a bit over the top.

    Conclusion

    Mediocre gameplay with little improvement from 8 years ago (which wasn't that great to begin with) coupled with a flawed narrative, plants this game firmly in Meh-sville.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a true masterpiece to say the least. It offers amazing combat, intricately detailed and beautiful graphics, and a very fluent gameplay. The game offers an extremely realistic experience, especially when played on grounded difficulty; zombies can hear you when you are near enough if you reload guns or if you open your backpack. The game brings a very dark mood, which in turn creates a fantastic dynamic for the revenge that Ellie is seeking. The game brings constant tension and keeps you intrigued at all times. It has been illustrated very clearly that naughty dog have worked very hard to bring insane details in graphics as well as each room in the game. It seems many people give overwhelmingly negative reviews just because they are in their feelings as Joel dies. As a big last of us fan, it killed me inside to see Joel die. However, I am smart enough to be objective and at least have the mental capacity to understand that naughty dog let Joel die for a strong reason. They wanted gamers to experience a crazy rollercoaster of emotions. They wanted you to feel the anger that Ellie is feeling. As a sympathetic person, I was able to let go of the anger once I played as Abby. The 10 hours of playing as Abby allows us to gain sympathy for her as we experience the terror she goes through during the 3 days as well as the trauma of her father’s death. To be frank, there are 2 segments of the game that I would have loved to have been different; 1.) I wish we would get considerably more hours of gameplay as Ellie, and 2.) I would have preferred to only play as ellie and Joel, but I believe it would have not been as much of an emotional and thrilling gameplay. To conclude, I recommend this game to anyone who is willing to have a holistic and objective approach. I truly believe this is the most amazing experience that any current game offers in terms of emotions, tension, and excitement. Expand

    Finally after a break from my usual gaming time, I felt ready to enter the post apocalyptic world of Last of Us once again. I had played the first title twice before, first time back in 2013, on PS3, blew my mind (and I'm sure everyone else's too) never have anyone ever experienced anything like that before (and then second time the Remastered edition on PS4).

    Now on Jan, 2022 I have just finished Part 2 (I couldn't put the controller down), oh man! What a crazy ride! The game is definitely one of the greatest games of our generation. A pure masterpiece and a masterfully crafted, visually stunning piece of magnum opus novel-esque gaming experience to have and to your surprise it leaves you thinking and pondering afterwards.

    No doubt, Neil Druckmann, is a master storyteller, and one of the volcanic persons in todays gaming industry (Good news that Neil is currently working on his upcoming live action directorial debut "The Last of Us" TV adaptation form HBO). Gustavo Santaolalla's music just adds another dimensional layer to the story.

    The story's dark emotional arcs leave you dry and devastated, while the enthralling gameplay, cinematically detailed rich and lush level designs, bone-chilling action sequences, massive scale of film like set-pieces will surely give you goosebumps.

    THERE IS TWO SIDES OF EVERY STORY, IN 'THE LAST OF US: PART II', IT LETS YOU PLAY IT, AND FEEL IT! THANKS TO EVERYONE IN 'NAUGHTY DOG' FOR CREATING A MASTERPIECE!

    [If anyone is still even concerned with that at this time]

    Part 1 has been & continues to be my favourite game of all time, because I believed that no other video game can extract a certain emotional response, like it did. I genuinely bonded with characters like never before. I was completely overwhelmed by anger, hate & sadness. Joel Miller, had been brutally killed off! Okay so we've now established the motive in the game right? "Kill Abby No Matter What!" Wrong... now we must continue to play as Joel's murderer for just as, if not longer than we play as Ellie. They both killed each other's "Dads" I guess, but they both lost their partners, family, friends & peace... not to mention that Ellie loses her fingers so she's unable to play the guitar the way she could.

    I guess the point was to enlighten us on the topic of empathy, but here's the thing... we play video games to escape reality in a safe, healthy & entertaining manner. After I finished this game, I was genuinely depressed, I didn't feel to play anything after that... Fast forward 2 years later, I decided to play again but this time I had a "better" take on it. I appreciated the gameplay, the graphics, I noticed the amount of effort that went into making this game. This game is extremely well made & it plays so much better than the first one. The AI are almost impossible on grounded mode... But I also realised something else, there is no other game that can do what this game has done for me... the amount of rage that I felt for characters in a game cannot be replicated, so Naughtydog really knows how to "tickle" your emotions. If I never played it a second time, I would have probably given it a 4... it loses points for Joel's death but I think it deserves a 8 (extra points for adding Permadeath.) I think it all boils down to personal preference, but in my opinion... overall fantastic work Naughtydog/Sony, but story-wise, I think it could've been better told. I also like dark stuff, but I would like to see the person I've bonded with get to live & preferably not play as the person I want to kill. P.S. I'm currently trying to get the grounded trophy. It's very difficult, you should play through couple times to get all the other trophies before attempting this.

The narrative was always emotionally compelling, and the emotional roller coaster was intense, heartbreaking, and enlightening. But, it failed to achieve for me what the game was trying to do. I found difficulty sympathizing with characters, new and old, a problem that wasn't present in the first game. I found that The Last of Us Part II was very different than part I. Part I focused on paternal love, where part II focused much on hate. This of course isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the tone change was a hard roadblock to get over. The immense complexity and depth of the characters was clearly evident, however the story tended to cut corners in unsatisfying and seemingly lazy ways. The biggest failure was the pacing. The narrative tried to achieve parallel plot structure but chose to go down both narratives one at a time instead of neck and neck, even playing sections of the game in the past which eliminated a sense of surprise in coming events. The verdict; The Last of Us Part II challenged me emotionally and followed a mostly satisfying narrative supported by incredible gameplay, but the narrative shortcomings and very poor pacing tainted the experience. Play the Last of Us Part I first, and then I implore you to experience Part II and come to your own conclusion. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I was upset with the ending of the game, I still have to give credit to the publishers,because of the fact, that I was able to support the anger and rage of Ellie. The reason users give the game such a low rank is just, because they couldn't really undestand Joels character. He is no Hero and no Villan.He is an anti-Hero. The user were just not ready to accept that, someday Joes karma would hit him back. Expand

    Dissapointing
    A Game that never needed to be made and sadly better shouldn't be made.
    Sure it looks great but story whise I don't like the way they went with.

    This game was review bombed to hell and back for no good reason, despite the controversial plot this game should never get a 0 as it has many things working in its favor plus the story is really not that bad, the only reason people think it's bad was because of the mob hatred for this game caused by influences saying it was bad even though critics agree that this is a must play

    A waste of time and money, and a slap in the face of the original game. Don’t bother.

    Нотидог красавцы. Музыка, атмосфера, озвучка, анимация персонажа на высшем уровне. Жаль что геймплей, остался почти тем же, и что мало головоломок

    На выходе игра разочаровала комьюнити игроков - что же вы сделали с мейн персонажами? Но по факту, история завершается максимально логично (жизнь, полная насилия, заканчивается насилием), несмотря на некоторые бесячие сюжетные повороты. Геймплей доработали, персонажи стали мобильнее, а схватки с ИИ еще более жестокими, что пошло игре на пользуНа выходе игра разочаровала комьюнити игроков - что же вы сделали с мейн персонажами?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это шедевр нахуй , все кто ставили игре заниженные оценки хуесосы насмотревшись блогеров которые говорил про повестку . Практически вся повестка в игре обоснована . Все кто жалуется на смерть Джоэла , идите нахуй , это было нужно для сюжета и имеет смысл . У игры 150000 + оценок и я уверен что 100000 + оценок от людей которые послушали блогеров и даже блять не играли в эту игру , а я очень советую Expand

    No había querido calificar el juego porque me esperaba un terrible final como la mayoría de los borreguitos andaba diciendo y oh sorpresa, el final hizo que se me enchinara la piel y hasta sentimiento me dio.. gente, no se claven con temas ni controversias, el juego es una obra maestra y ahora si que no cualquier idiota lo va a comprender.

    This is a failure. The director failed to convince the public. People who are not confident in their work try to get their intentions recognized. He thinks his ideas are superior to others. That arrogance is disgusting.

    I really liked this game's gameplay, graphics and it really use the ps4 hardware on its best way, but as a huge fan of the 1st game, the story is really disappointing, Naughty Dog didn't made this game for the fans, but if they are going to launch a third game, I'm very worried about the history.

    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]
