    Сюжет подвёл. Да, геймплей хорош, нововведения хорошо, графика отличная. Но лично для меня главное был сюжет. Вторая часть противоречит некоторым моментам из первой.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the saddest let downs of the century. If I could go back in time, I'd find a way to stop the production of this game. Seriously, the first one had an ending that would've been better alone than making this crap.

    The Last of Us is a story driven game at its core. It sucks you in and doesn't let go until the ending and that's why we all screamed for a sequel. You had characters with strong backgrounds that fans loved and were unforgettable.

    Well lets start the game off by killing the first character after what? 10-15 mins of gameplay? So much for Ellie and Joel adventures or interaction, or a conclusion to their underlying distrust from Ellie. You grabbed me with the bliss of being BACK into the world with these characters for the first hour. Seriously, who let the intern write the script?! I had a feeling Joel's time was coming after the first game when the sequel was announced. I'm talking about the cautious, morally questionable, bearded joy that fans kept alive in a garage all winter after falling onto a spike.

    That character dies because he wasn't cautious enough? WHAT? The guy actually took down a firefly base and saved a girl, carried her out of there against armed men and women, and walked away from it. Being cautious and patient was the reason he made it so far! The death is GRUESOME! I have yet to see a good reaction to this.

    It just gets worse. After experiencing the ass beating known as Joel's death, the player must then be forced to play as his killer (a newish character) for 10 hours.... Trust me. I am NOT relating to that character whether their biceps could curl an elephant or they are portraying a minor community in society after THAT. My favorite character was just beat to death in front of me I do NOT like that person. Keep making those biceps bigger you almost had it? The ending.. you try to drive a moral philosophy down the player's throat of revenge vs love, forgiveness and letting go. This is a zombie apocalypse and humans are nasty creatures anyway! Anyone strong enough to make it this far would obviously get revenge first. Switch the events around and make it so that ALL character's actions have consequences (yes including Abby . SURPRISE) and show the flashbacks as happy memories for Ellie only for her to realize that the guitar and those memories are what is important to her, a SURVIVOR now. Oh and please.. Ellie losing her fingers to Abby too because she pursued revenge? This is nothing but a spit in the fans' faces.

    I give you your 3-4 points for making a game with good mechanics, graphics, and an immersive semi-open/linear world. But a story based game with a bad story and good mechanics is the same as wrapping filth in gold. (The first game really established the mechanics and atmosphere of the game already, so honestly giving these points is hard enough). There are moments where love and somberness (guitar scene, flashbacks) that made me slightly smile and for that I won't give this game a 0. However, they are easily countered with bad pacing and unnecessarily awkward focused details like Ellie having sex with her girlfriend while Joel is in trouble. Feels just.. out of place. If you want those beliefs to be part of the "norm" then you have to treat them as the norm not go out of your way for them.

    Please redo this game or have a DLC or SOMETHING to fix the story. I don't care for politics, moral beliefs, etc I just want to see my favorite characters go through something meaningful. Abby should have to pay for her actions and we should not have to play as her. (Someone getting to know her maybe could work?) More playtime for Joel and Ellie, a resolution to their feelings about the decision in the last game. Give him a death where he goes out with a BANG and make us watch. But in the end, make it mean something with bittersweet memories and whatever else could've been done to drive your point home that pursuing revenge will only cost more.    … Expand

Naughty Dog and company should be proud of the game they developed. Of course, anyone is bound to have negative thoughts about the game for various reasons. Yet, after completing the game once after roughly 30 hours of true gameplay time, I am writing my first review for a game that has great moments, but also flaws like any other game. i will breakdown this review into brief sections covering the story, graphics, gameplay and character development.

    Story (9/10)
    Without getting into story specifics (no spoilers here outside one character reveal), players take control of Ellie as she reworks herself after a tragic event that sets off an adventure rooted in hate and vengeance. Friends join her on this quest fraught with danger around every corner in search of the culprits that triggered this adventure in the first place. The player suffers and feels through grueling sequences that put the player in positions that they otherwise would not want to make. In a world nearly 30 years later that is continuing to evolve from the events of the first part, hard decisions are a part of the story and Naughty Dog gives the player little choice in the matter. The player watches Ellie grow to loathe vengeance as each action builds upon each other. Then, as a matter of perspective, the player assumes control of another female character named Abby. She herself is on a similar path as Ellie, a tragic event leads to drastic measures, but now she is attempting to redefine herself. The player will see bloodshed, tears and gut wrenching moments that do stay true to Neil Druckmann's intentions on the themes in game. While various parts of the story as fleshed out as much as possible, other parts are largely filled with plot holes. Though no game can realistically flesh out every possible detail and still keep a riveting storyline, I felt detached from some characters during the story. This brings us to the next section.

    Character Development (5/10)
    I will say it straight here: this was one of the more disappointing aspects of the game, but nevertheless, there were still good parts. The good: the redemption of both Abby and Ellie is clear as day and the choices they make are reflective of their past and their desires for the future they want. More good: for those who played the first game, we're already attached to Joel and it doesn't take much to know how much Ellie cares about Joel and how that drives her into the adventure she goes on. Now for constructive. Certain supporting cast members felt lackluster. I could never really get attached to them in the way I did with Henry and Sam in the first game. Perhaps the focus was solely on Ellie and Abby for the sake of a story driven by hate. However, even with a lovely story within all this hate (a couple exists that I loved, but never could fully understand the whole dynamics of the two individuals), I only found myself displeased with the death of a character that I only got mere minutes of for a backstory. Certain character details aren't as fleshed out, but for the main characters, Naughty Dog did what they could to tell the story whilst giving players insight to the growth and downfall of each side of Ellie and Abby.

    Graphics (10/10)
    Not much to say here other than the world this game is played in is absolutely stunning. I felt like I was in each location and felt the devastation around me. Enemies even looked as human as the main characters and even sounded the same. The dynamics between the graphics and story complemented each other.

    Gameplay (7/10)
    The game itself still retains a lot of the exploration seen in the first. If a player wants to make sure they have everything, then scouring the whole map will take a lot more time than usual. The incorporation of jumping and prone mechanics were nice additions that the first game didn't have. They added another element of stealth that is utilized so that encounters weren't always gunfights and fistfights. I do wish the same amount of trophies existed as in the first game, but nothing can change that now. Collectibles still feel meaningful though I do miss having comic relief in the form of jokes and conversations as the first game had. Yet, this game is its own game despite being a sequel to the first.

    Overall Rating: 8/10
    Overall, the game has its flaws in the story and character development. I am proud of the work done to flesh out the maps, enemies and other small details. Naughty Dog developed a game they are proud to call theirs. Love it or hate it, there is a certain amount of bliss to the game and I liked it. Though it's not a 10/10 game, I do have to side with the critics: the story hit its mark with me and I understood, even though I wanted the choice to decide, why Neil Druckmann wrote the story. All I have to say is: play or watch someone play the game and make the decision yourself on whether to love it, hate it or be mixed.    … Expand

It doesnt make sense at all considerating him a clever and sceptical man in Part I. It was like “hey my name is joel and he’s Tommy, we live over there and my password is 1234”... really dissapointed... They could’ve written a better way to kill Joel using THE SAME shocking scene, but come on, just remember he even tried to killed ellie at part1 when he saw her arm and Tess pressed him to trust in that little girl... that joel was not the real one everyone played with...… Expand

    Gameplay: 10/10
    If you played Part 1, you will feel at home right away. The gameplay in it's core stayed the same, which I love! There are some more options in terms of crafting/upgrading/skill tree which can complement your preferred playing style (stealth or rambo) and Ellie is more agile that what you know from Part 1. It feels like a true survival game when there are strong enemies and loot is scarce. If you are an average or experienced gamer you should certainly play it on HARD. That gives you some challenge without being too challenging. It complements the story very well and you will certainly have some "fear" moments because you feel like the enemy is too strong. Sometimes I even thought of going one difficulty higher, do as you please but the game certainly is the most fun when it is challenging.

    Video/Sound: 10/10
    Here obviously we don't have to say much. It is amazing how an almost 7 year old device can produce such graphics. Play on HDR if your TV supports this. The sound itself is also amazing, especially if you have surround sound. When you flee and enemies are chasing you, hearing their shots, screams, dogs running after you from behind ist just amazing. I do wish they had more "ambient" sounds for the weather, wind, water etc. coming from the back speakers that would make you feel like you are IN the game when there are slow parts of the story.

    Story: 9/10
    So, now we come to the most talked about subject. As this review should not include any spoilers I obviously can't tell much about the story itself. There are many negative reviews about the story because people don't like how the story turns out. Just to put it out there, the story itself is great! It makes you think about violence, good and bad, right or wrong and is constructed with a lot of emotions overall. And I think that's where the expectation gap comes in. We as gamers are used to being able to change the story and make the protagonist do what we want. The Last of Us Part 2 is not such a game!!! (and btw Part 1 was neither). It will tell you the story and decisions of the people in it and you as a gamer
    can't change that. And that is why it is so great. There is no right or wrong decision for you to make. The protagonists make the decisions and you are the one executing it. And that gives you insights in who the protagonist is and what he/she feels like. And with this they can portray a good story that makes you question decisions or reasonings of the protagonists, which is great! The story is an emotional rollercoaster and I love it for that reason.

    Overall, the game is not perfect, but it certainly is a very worthy Part 2 to the first game that develops a new story in a brutal environment. It is fun to play, has a great length with an interesting story that makes you think about it and obviously looks and feels great. Also, there were emotions that I felt while playing this game that I never had in any other game before. And just for that I certainly recommend playing this game.    … Expand

    The game is nothing less than a 7 out of 10. The middle portion of the game is slow, and arguably unnecessary. While slow, it's a masterpiece of video game creation. Graphics, animations, and sound are the best of the generation. The story and lies (from previous trailers) are what hold this back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Makes you sit through an entire tutorial for an awesome new melee weapon, then never lets you use it once through the entire game. Had a lot of fun with VATS mode, nice to see combat opened up for anyone, especially drunk people. Finished the game, thought about collecting all the artefacts, but chapter select is still broken (cut and paste glitch from the first game) so it's way too much hassle. Finishing the game was about as rewarding as a dropped ice cream.

    I did enjoy taking selfies, my favourite was in the middle of a large pile of bodies. They all accidentally ended up there of course because the AI is still partying like it's 2013. Six trillion hours of development time spent on a rope VS me hiding behind a couch next to seven bodies and the guy in the police vest not being able to make the connection....

    It's great to see people like me being portrayed in video games. I talk to myself a lot too. In the first game there was usually someone there to talk to, which was just unrealistic. Having large parts of this game being made up of one character on their own chuntering randomly to themselves really brought it home for me.

    I think the high point of the game for me was the discovery of the option to auto collect. Suddenly my character was reaching out and realistically grabbing everything as I ran past. It's fantastic how far games have come with their capabilities. Obviously not as far as Paris Games Week 2017, I'm guessing that was footage from the PS5 remaster.

    Out of all the PlayStation exclusives I'd say this one made me want to be an XBOX owner the most. Liked the game so much I'll probably buy the main characters collectors edition when it's released.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i am giving this a 3 for the amazing job the naughty dog team did when it comes to environments, graphics, sounds and fluent combat mechanics, otherwise it would've been a 0/10. its sad to think how really talented people can make such a visual and audio masterpiece just so someone like neil turn it into a huge pile of crap.
    1. you have to be brain dead to think that people had issues with lesbians, transgender or male characters dying. those who had this sort of issues are frustrated people that have literally no right to have an opinion in any point of view (not only this game), so they can keep their hate and beliefs to themselves.
    i have been a fan of the first the last of us game since the release. i was too poor to get a ps3 so i had to wait to play it when i got my first ps4 (offering an amazing experience as a remastered product). When the last of us 2 came out, i tried my best to stay away from the spoilers and was pretty disappointed with everybody hating the game (for reasons i honestly didn't understand). So dodging any unofficial information as much as possible. In meantime i preordered the game and followed whatever official news i could find, everything getting me more and more hyped! I started praising this game everywhere i could... till the last 5 minutes of gameplay...
    as we are living in an era where you don't play videogames just for the sake of doing it (like we did in the past), story plays a huge role in the gaming industry.
    so, after playing the first game for like 3 times, i got into the last of us 2 with a pretty huge emotional baggage, hoping to hop into a new adventure with ellie and joel.
    unfortunately that was not the case... grabbing the controller for the first 2 hours i fell in love with the world the game had to offer. was sad a bit i did not get to spend that much time with joel but i was ok with it... "its a big game, there's plenty of time...". till there's not...
    i don't want to dive that much into the story so i will get here what naughty dog could've done and what i really hated about it.
    1. don't make joel and tommy act out of their character. they made them look STUPID. joel was the most cautious and smart character in game (his brother as well). are you going to tell me that they will go in a house full of strangers and they'll tell them their names in the first 10 seconds of their encounter??? no god damn way! that's trash writing there. how to fix it? make abby save joel's life. then he can be grateful for it and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE i can believe that he can blindly trust her and leave his guard down... or if you're leaving it like that, at least give abby a interior conflict. like "joel saved my life, what if he's not a bad guy??". i was pissed about my favorite character dying, but i could understand the way things were going (or at least i thought i did).
    2. don't push abby down my throat for 10+ hours as a playable character after she murdered joel in that brutal manner. solution to this problem? kill joel later. use those nice flashbacks of ellie and joel at the beginning of the game and put them on the same time with abby's flashbacks (one at a time). this way you create a profound sense of loss for joel but in the same time create empathy for abby. because (and sorry for the language), i couldn't give a single **** about whatever you throw at me about abby after what she done. don't just throw flashbacks everywhere and expect people to understand that abby is human as well. WE KNOW THAT ALREADY NAUGHTY DOG.
    3. don't make me fight ellie with abby. nobody wanted that and people hated abby even more when she found out that dina was pregnant and she said "GOOD!" with a sick smile on her face! you try to humanize her but in the same time its obviously that she's a cold hearted murderer.
    the thing i hated the most about the last of us 2 story. THE ENDING. all that propaganda about "revenge is bad" while murdering hundreds of people and having literally all your friends die shows up front how poorly written is this story.
    for you as a real life person, put yourself in ellie's shoes with all the emotional, physical, psychical baggage and the ability to get that revenge on the person that killed the closest thing to a father (being forced to watch the entire brutal scene happen). please tell me you'd stay right in front of that person (after killing hundreds of people) and just say "i'm ending this here! leave! revenge is bad!".
    the last of us 2 is dark, cruel and brutal. an ending with ellie "finding the light" out of nowhere is literally garbage. solution? make 2 endings and let people chose how they feel about it. (not that hard).
    i know that there are people out here thinking that they smart for finding out the whole "secret meaning" of the game.
    if the last of us 2 would've been a stand alone game, would've been awesome! being a sequel of the masterpiece the first game was, this game is an offense to everybody that loved the first game    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the first half of the game, until I had to play as Abby. For the entire 10 hours of her story I hated her, no amount of pandering or attempts to make me empathize with her worked. My only feeling for her as a character was seething hatred as I realized she was going to be half of the **** game. The only way I could make the second half fun for myself was by killing Abby in as many forms as I could. Especially when you are FORCED to beat the **** out Ellie. The game looks and plays great, but the soul that existed in the first one clearly died. There was no character development that could match up to the last game. Since they added too many new characters and killed them off before they could earn my respect. I regret my decision to buy this, and I immediately deleted it after finishing.… Expand

And if you have played it, I invite to do so again, but don´t be so simple about it, try to look at the bigger picture, look at the character motivations, the build up to the major events.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers ahead... im going to get a few things out the way. You should play this game if your a fan of the first game hands down. Lets get the obvious things out the way. Game play is fantastic as well as graphics and level design . Now for the main attraction, the story! I didint like that Joel died. He was my favorite out of everyone. But i just picked up the pieces and wanted to see the rest of the game. I remember Neil the director stated in so many of his interviews that he could have used any two characters for the first game. But i disagree , i believe he under estimated how lucky, and how much joel and ellie was a once in a life time lovable characters that dont come around in games or even movies/TVshows. But knowing all this did not blind me to see what story they were trying to tell. ND gave all us million of fans 10/10 games year after year. They deserve our respect no matter what they do and our FAIR opinion after playing the game. Regardless of the misleading commercials and what ever is going on in their company the truth is that it is non of our business and we will never know the real reason for what goes on in their studio. Ok now back to the game , i loved it but i didint agree with certain aspects they took. But the game is not disrespectful. Ellies portion of the game is spot on great. The flash backs are amazing and to be honest if they were not in the game i would have gave the game bad review and stated that Joel was disrespected but to me that is what saved this game when we are talking about story alone about Joel and ellie. Now when we get to the 2nd half of the game i REALLY REALLY didint wanna play as abby, but i still gave it a shot and i actually saw that they put more work on making her gameplay with more variation. They tried to make her character into a joel figure with lev as somewhat as ellie. To be honest i would not allow the game to let me sympathize with abby. Up until the point that ellie released her from the pillars from the rattlers is when i actually had a glimpse of sympathy ,and actually u know what...i ended up not wanting to kill her no more, but i never wanna play as her again. So ND accomplished what they wanted to say for ME. But if abby is in future games then im not on board bcs joel has a special place in my heart. Now i just want to say i LOVE Laura Bailey and her performance was superb and she is a amazing person. i been following her work ever since she voiced trunks for DBZ. Any ways to sum this up when they got to the point where Ellie and Dina were in the farm i told myself NO the game better not end here there needs to be more and i need to see Joel again. So the game delivered and the last scene in the game gave Joel and Ellie leading up to hashing things out and that was the only scene in the whole game that had me in tears close to how i was in the first game. This is a great game and fans should give it at least one play through. This is all an opinion and i hope people respect it such as i respect theirs.… Expand

Et pour moi ces choix sont parfaits compte tenu du thème du jeu. le fait de nous imposer de jouer l'antagoniste et de voir les raisons pour lesquelles elle a agit ainsi est brillant. comment comprendre le concept de cycle de vengeance, sans montrer les deux cotés ? le jeu est très bien écrit contrairement a ce que certains disent. ces personnes se cachent derrière l,expression "Bad Writing" car il ne supportent pas qu'on les force a voir ou a comprendre les motivation de Abby ..et même en leur montrant que sa vengence est tout aussi légitime que celle de Ellie ... ils la refusent. c'est un manque de maturité assez hallucinant. Ils faudrait grandir un peu.. c'est tellement plus facile de détester quelqu'un que de comprendre le pourquoi de leurs actions.... ces gens sont ridicules. concernant les graphismes c'est le jeu le plus detaillé que j'ai jamais vu, c'est dingue, le Gameplay est certes pas révolutionnaire, mais il est très solide et plutot jouissif, bande son exceptionelle. bref pour moi cest du 10… Expand

I absolutely loved the first game. Replayed it more times than I can count. When I first found out that Ellie was a lesbian I was a little apprehensive but I love that character regardless. I loved playing as Joel and his story and character arc. I am upset what happens to Joel but the overall story and how it plays out is tremendous in my opinion.

This is the most beautiful story in video games in the past decade . Joel’s death serves the story so well but if u wanted him to go out like a hero with all the shootings and clickers well that’s not real . I’m sure u would have liked it but in a game as grounded as this one it doesn’t work . As for Ellie’s story arc it’s all about revenge until she forgives and it doesn’t happen in a second just like everyone is saying . She enjoys killing two of them . She breaks after making Nora talk . She didn’t want to kill Mel but she did and after that she just wants to go back but she has to see it through until she remembers joel wouldn’t want that . That’s the trigger but the build up for that forgiveness is there from the moment she kills Nora . As for abby the whole point is about the circle of violence . She gets revenge u begin to hate her then u see the backstory u see she cares about people u see she is the same as Ellie maybe even more likable . That’s the beauty ofDruckman’s characters .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's funny that Metacritic is trying to give this disaster such a high score. I'll admit that graphically and on a technical level, it's gorgeous -- the environments, lighting, models, textures, animations, all stunning and technological advances. However... in the end, those are not what make people fans, what make them love your game and talk about it for years to come with nostalgia. That is not why people loved the first game.

    In fact, it's precisely because the first game was *so good* at making you emotionally feel for Joel & Ellie that his sudden, quick and unexplained death early on in TLoU 2 is distasteful to so many. I'm not opposed to emotionally gutwrenching games that make you feel, and this one indeed makes you feel... but not in the good way that you're glad you paid for it.

    From the first game, we saw Joel as a flawed father figure doing anything to save Ellie -- it was deeply touching. Then, he's brutally executed in a stupid way by a character we know nothing of and care nothing for, after having saved her life. He did not get a fitting end. But in the same way that Abby is driven to revenge for her father, so does the player feel compelled to avenge Joel -- this is why so many people dislike Abby. We were bonded with those characters from before. And yet the sequel's writers spend the entire time being preachy and moralizing that nobody wins and revenge is bad -- to the point where Ellie never actually gets any finality or closure, she loses everything -- Dina, JJ, Joel and Jesse, her guitar-playing fingers, everything... and is seen walking aimlessly off in the field.

    You will get no satisfaction or closure. You will be left wanting, with disappointment and sadness. Ellie doesn't even hug Joel in the final flashback, the last time she saw him, because Ashley Johnson (Ellie voice) didn't want there to be a hug. You won't even be given a sliver of happiness in a memory with him, you just have to be satisfied that Ellie said she'll "try" to forgive him. After hours of slogging through the game as Abby and dealing with her experiences and WLF characters we don't really care much about, all because the writers want to try to make you see that revenge is cyclical and everybody makes the same mistake... that is all you will walk away with.

    A whole lot of nothing, and disappointment at what a game this gorgeous could have been. They had years to work on this, on the heels of such a beloved and successful first game -- and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.    … Expand

    This game is most definitely in my top 3 video games of all time (along with The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4) even if there are two main aspects missing in comparison (but perhaps not applicable given the concept /context of the game ) :
    - not an open world
    - no user based choice making

    Regardless of these 2 shortcomings, #TheLastofUsPartII lives up to its first installment and then some. I particularly appreciated the novelty of addressing a revenge story from the perspective of both antagonist - a truly brilliant idea that challenges the player’s preconceptions and gives a whole new dimension to the gaming experience. Furthermore, the quality and depth of the main characters (not just Ellie & Abby) is so poignant that I felt there was even more to be said told them, perhaps in a DLC?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I just finish the last of us 2!
    I’ve been a huge fan of tlou 1 and I can’t tell you how excited I was for the part 2.

    Honestly speaking I did saw couple of leaks before the release but I didn’t let those comments and leaks bothered me from purchasing a game! And even though whole internet is really mad about the storyline and the ending of the game but From my personal experience I really enjoyed this game!

    Is it as good as its predecessor? No! But you have to understand that the last of us part 1 was a masterpiece and it would be really hard to top that. Does the game feels lagged and slow at some point? Yes! But only if you don’t care about the story..

    Just my personal opinion it’s a really well made game! It does have a great story which explains the real message which is “vengeance always consumes the best of you”. Speaking of which if you look at from Ellie’s prospective, to get revenge of Joel’s death which is Ofcourse a big deal she got lost in vengeance so bad that she lost everything in the end! Joel, Jesse & her relationship with Dina!

    And same goes for Abby.. she was so upset and wanted to take the revenge for her fathers death by killing Joel. But in the end she also end up losing everything and everyone she ever loved! At first I was also pissed off about killing Joel and then play the character who killed our beloved Joel! But after realizing what’s a real message behind this game, I understand why everything happened the way it happened! Sadly Even though I agreed with Joel’s decision at the end of part one about saving Ellie’s life but deep down I know it was a wrong decision considering a bigger picture! And eventually it also turn Ellie against Joel and don’t ever wanna do anything with him because he lied to her! And I really think it’s was Joel’s karma because he did kill those people to save Ellie’s life. Even though it was a right decision according to him but still was wrong! And I know a lot of people won’t agree with my reasoning but that’s actually true! But overall in the end The Last of us 2 is a lot darker and have a lot more deeper meaning. It’s Definitely not better than the first one but still pretty good in its own unique way and I really enjoyed it!    … Expand

I think The story actually is the strongest part of the game. The game play is a bit repetitive after some hours , the encounters feels similar. Luckily you can approach the battles differently. Sometimes I went gun blazing and some times tried to sneak my way out. That gave it some variation but it felt like the game want you to kill all enemies to be able to search all areas. I guess it might have felt different on a higher difficulty (I played on moderate). The plot really takes you on a emotional rollercoaster. I didn’t mind the change of character when you played Abby. At first I was like I don’t care if she died, but as the story continues you get more attached to her and her retribution. The story of the world is much told by notes found and the scenery. You need to look though the world and find clues about what went down. This I think was particularly good when playing Ellie and the returning with Abby to se what went down. I really enjoyed the game, some tweaking regarding the repetitive gameplay would have been nice but overall the game succeeded with leaving the feeling of wanting more and to experience the world of TLOU again. I would definitive recommend a play through.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay i finally get why the game is layed out like it is, with Ellie first and abby second and not broken up and jumping between them - it's so the gamer experiences the whole journey - we lose someone we love (Joel's death) we're angry and want revenge, we get further and further into that darkness, we get the revenge we wanted (abby killing joel) we realise it doesn't make things better, we find a new purpose in life (Lev) we find the light. See the reason we don't want ellie to kill abby at the end is because we know it won't work and we can see it as a mistake because we are emotionally way ahead of ellie at this point. We, the gamer, completed the whole cycle and found the light, ellie is still stuck in the dark, so we are able to see the mistake for what it is. I also realised that I'm not onboard with the abby section until Lev because I can't forgive her but Lev becomes a reason for us to want abby to live, she suddenly has a purpose because she is all Lev has in this world, so it's not we want abby to live because we forgive her or like her as a character, its because we need her to look after Lev because he's an innocent in this world and we want to protect him, so we can push aside our hatred for abby enough to let her do this.

    Best game I ever played. Every little detail in this game is studied. You will live the entire story from the start to the end with no empty moments and never boring; and it’s a story 3 times longer than part 1.

    I read many bad ratings and 99% of them are made for very stupid things (ohhh she’s kissing another girllll!! Smoking weedddd!) or made by people that don’t understand the story (or they played it in a very superficial way). Developers developed people, not characters in this game.

    While playing this game, you have to thing about the actions You do 1000 times. Not because your actions can change the events in the game (the story is independent and has only one end) but because your action will have consequences of yourself! And it’s the first game that makes me feel that (semi spoiler: I’m sorry Bear)

    Things that i don’t like much in this game:
    - like previous chapter you can’t return in the previous area.
    - skill tree very basic, it could be improved a lot
    - Italian localization of scars (why hyenas?!)

    So, for me it’s a 9.5/10 this game.    … Expand

    An amazing game that tells a two sided story with a spiral narrative. The gameplay brings improves and you will notice if you played The Last of Us "part one". I kept playing for hours trapped in the story. The enemies are defiying, humans and infected. If you doubt about buying "The Last of Us Part II", dont do it anymore, it is a Must have in your collection.

The story made me hate a character and empathize with her within a few hours. I even grew to love her in the end. I still talk with my friends about it, and we share teories and cry together. This game, man! If a game chalenges me that much. Puitting me in a place where there's no heroes in the story. I would feel invaded, but at the same time, impressed. **** good game. Druckman and Gross, congratulations. I wish i was just a tird of what you two are. Congratulations. Also, this game made me care about Joel more than the first one. I put myself in Ellie's shoes. Then put myself in Abby's shoes, losing my friends. Adopting two amazing kids. "You are my people" YEAH YOU ARE!! Also the actors. Laura Bailey was **** amazing as Abby (She's always amazing, lets be real). Ashley Johnson crushed my heart. Amazing! Amazing! Bravo! Congratulations, guys. **** amazing.… Expand

    Si el primer juego el mensaje y reflexionar fue de que hay que vivir con las consecuencias de nuestras acciones y dejar atrás el pasado esta secuela no deja ver como la venganza y la violencia . Pueden consumirte y hacer que todos los que te quieren se alejen de ti . El juego brilla por su historia que si bien no fue lo que muchos esperaban no deja de ser una gran historia acompañado del maravilloso trabajo técnico que se siente mejor que la parte anterior se ve más trabajado y perfeccionado. Y el aspecto visual muy destacado y que nos deja ver las expresiones de los personaje y como les afecta todo lo que están viviendo a medida que avanza la historia .

    Characters were well portrayed; but implementation of the story continued with hazy writing, as well as frustrating and sometimes confusing flashbacks is just a burden for players. Character swap occurs wayyy too often, and the story truly became boring.

    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]
