    I finished the game in 38 hours, divided into 6 days.

    TLOU2 has well-written characters that fit perfectly into the built world from the first part.
    The story is strong and at times disturbingly believable.
    The graphics are again at the highest level of the current console generation.
    Acting performances are at the Oscar level.
    Gameplay is a solid evolution from the first part.
    The combination of everything creates a very engaging atmosphere, which it maintains until the final headlines.

    If you enjoyed the first part, you will definitely enjoy the second part as well.
    I highly recommend.    … Expand

    Not for the weak-hearted! This game is just as beautiful as a Red Dead Redemption 2. The game is smart. There are many accessibility options, indicating the company that made it is thoughtful. The story is like nothing you will ever play in a video game, let alone see in a movie.

I wish I didn’t see the Metacritic stuff before playing. I went through the game and tried to forget about the critic and user reviews to not be pushed in either direction. I did my best, and after, still, fill a void because people don’t seem to feel the same way.

    The story had its ups and downs. I don’t mean in the writing, I mean in how I felt. I think it was done on purpose. I hated certain moments of this game. Particularly towards the middle and end. But as it went on, I became attached and understood the reason behind why I am playing. The game makes it seem like it is a story of revenge, and for parts of it, it is. But that is not the major theme. It branches out and does things that many of us did not want to happen. It pushed the limit on storytelling. It went against the grain of what people most likely wanted. It definitely isn't what I wanted or expected, but I really enjoyed all of it. I just had to finish the game and sit on it for a night before I took the time to write about it.    … Expand

    This game is absolutley amazing. I trully believe that all this hate is only “justified” by the ignorance of those who played it... they were so blinded by the desire of revenge, that they weren’t able too see the beautifull message about self-growth, redemption and forgiveness.
    Please, go and read Neil Druckmann’s letter before playing, and play with an open mind.

    Only ND can imprint the level of details in the player surroundings, leaving the quest for finding them to you, notes on the wall, dusty coffee machines, posters, concert ads, employee of the month charts, multi-contact outlets with the known “flashy” light typical of this devices when they are off.
    I dedicated my time looking for every inch in the game to appreciate the details, I was amazed by the details on Ellie’s feelings and how her expression perfectly described that, I remember seeing Dina’s face and recalling a Jordanian friend whose name was also Dina, and how middle eastern both looked. I appreciated going back to the weapon and upgrading system, it felt organically well. I recorded the sound of preparing a Molotov bomb, the sound of the gasoline being poured in the bottle is like “Sound porn”. How the backpack reacted to Ellie’s movements, how can you tear apart with the suffering, the fear of being spotted, the sadness and desperation of your actions, the unease of knowing you will do something that isn’t nice to digest. How stressful the music makes you feel when enemies are around and then the perfect pauses where you learn more about the characters, and what drives them to do what they do.
    ND owns the history and I thank them for letting me experience it, as it is, from their mind and hearts. Play it....live it, enjoy it.    … Expand

    В целом можно было бы и так но дизайн некоторых персонажей подкачал:
    (Эбби - ужасна по определению, Дина - не так красива по сравнению с актрисой, игравшей ее, Джоэл - пускай и постарел по сюжету, но выглядит слишком уж плохо, особенно по отношению к певой части)
    "повестку" не рассматриваю в принципе тк это тупо и если у тебя есть голова на плечах то ты сможешь понять что эта (повестка) ни на что не влияет

When you can get past your own expectations, look past the things you hold onto from the last game and accept the fact that this is anew game not the old one - honestly, this game goes beyond all expectations. The details in this game is beyond belief. The story telling could have been a little better but nothing worth removing a point for. The set pieces, the texturing, the animations, the lighting, the audio, the physics and literally everything in this game is better than probably any other game I have played this generation.

I'm playing a second time, and I am so in awe of this game.

    That boldness of the story is something I love. Naughty Dog did not play it safe. I'll choose to avoid spoilers in my review, but they made narrative decisions that they knew would be divisive. They told a complex and emotionally challenging story. It asks a lot of the players to engage in this story and feel the feelings it provokes. It's dark, miserable, and traumatic in all the best ways.

    Unfortunately when some scenes of certain moments leaked without context it took away Naughty Dog's ability to control of the experience of those who saw them. While they expected some backlash from fans who played it, the backlash we have now is exacerbated and intensified by the months of stewing after spoilers before the release of the game. There are a large percentage of reviewers determined to hate and nitpick at any perceived fault. Don't let them persuade you. The game is masterfully executed and intentionally made. It may not be a story you like depending on your personal taste, but there is no denying it is art done well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us gave us an exploration of characters who we came to understand deeply throughout the time that we spent with them. In Part II, we are shown that careful characterization from all sides of conflict. Ellie is no longer the hero, but rather just a lost character desperately trying to do something that would make her life "mean something." The only way she can fathom to do this is to seek revenge for Joel's death by understanding what Joel was, because she was hurt by his actions, rather than what Joel has become after they settled in Jackson.

    Contrast this with Abby's character, which mirrors Joel's, we understand the confusion and guilt that can lead to a change of heart and return to humanity for the character. Ellie may be the one with the moth tattoo. But she spends the entire game failing to "follow the light." She fails at every turn and is punished for it as she puts the people around her in danger. Abby on the other hand, grows throughout the game to understand that she doesn't have to lose hope. There is still light for her to follow. The last shot of the game, with the moth on the guitar and Ellie in the background shows that she has finally accepted Joel for what he grew to rather than as a product of his horrific past. She accepts her last memories of Joel and then goes off into the world to follow the light and do right by him. So damn good man.

    Game play is actually fun this time around. Previously, combat felt slow and frustrating. Now, you are given freedom to approach encounters with enemies in a variety of ways. When gun fighting really kicks up, things feel frantic and rushed. The improved movement and aiming help to sell this as you can move in and out of hand to hand, to range fighting, to running away seamlessly. All the while the game maintains a brutal realism through the weight behind each action. Killing in hand to hand takes time and is messy while firing at range is high stakes to make each shot count.

    10/10. Seeing these two characters grapple with ideas of maturity in a world where childhood was never afforded to them is painful to watch in such a meaningful way. Beyond that game play is enjoyable this time around the length and variety present in the game absolutely makes it worth every penny.

    Naughty Dog cut out the crunch time in your games. People deserve better than that.    … Expand

    The game is just amazing. Sure the story is something that has been stirring the community apart, along with reeling in Sony's haters along the way. But this kind of take is something that no other developers or story tellers won't dare to take. So props to Naughty Dog. My only gripe is that the game is pandered to feminism, or more to feminazis. But still the game did deserves 10/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some thoughts for those who thought Abby "ruined the game". Hear me out, because I get you, but have a different opinion. I would write a whole review, but it feels more important to just focus on what a lot of people thought the game got wrong, which I feel it got incredibly right. – You clearly do speak fluent sarcasm (rude dialect), it's obvious. Jokes aside, I think Abby was a hard character to understand for those who don't feel the love in her voice when **** her dad, Owen, and Manny. Ellie can be friendly, Abby will always come off as a little closed off because of her pain. – Her actions were justified. Joel **** humanity, set it back 100 years at least. I would have wanted to do the same if I had no knowledge or connection to Ellie and Joel's relationship – We both hate her. But at least try to understand her choices. – Playing as her made my skin crawl in the best kind of way. The game was uncomfortable, because when you switch you see her through Ellie's eyes at the peak of loss and hopelessness. – Her and Ellie are mirrors; Ellie is immune, small, stealthy, better at killing infected, and made strong by her companions (at first). Abby is large, intimidating, aggressive, trained to kill people, and made stronger through loss (her father, relationship with Owen, her cause in the Fireflies). – Only at the end do both character arcs reverse, and they come to a point of mutual understanding, growth, and forgiveness. Abby relies on Lev and forgives herself, Ellie forgives Joel and Abby. – Ellie killed Dina's dream and wrecked her own mind because of revenge. Abby got her friends killed for the same reason. – I didn't want Joel to die, but I believe the alternative would have been the same dynamic as the last game (which makes no sense to me given Ellie's growth and awareness of Joel's betrayal) or a sad sap story of Ellie causing tragedy because she can't forgive Joel, who is still alive, and Joel failing to help Ellie because he's blinded by love. What we got was a great piece on cyclical revenge, and a bleak picture of humanity's darkness. – Jesse was fleshed out during the story, but I'm hoping we get a Jesse & Joel DLC. Lots of DLC! ALL THE DLC. Tommy going to the Big Sur firefly camp looking for Abby would be good too. Now what I think it could have done better: – The Rattlers part felt rushed; I would have liked to see Ellie travel to Santa Barbara, even if alone. Preferably, having Dina (leaving baby with Jesse's parents) or Tommy trail her there, and save her from the near-death side injury at the end, like how she healed Joel in game 1. – Ellie should have killed Abby and then nearly die (with an ambiguous ending), or Abby kill Ellie and Dina kill Abby and Lev both (definitive ending). – Plot variations for multiple playthroughs could have been a nice touch, but I understand it's hard to write a good story in that format. Overall, this is a **** masterpiece in my humble and clueless opinion!… Expand

    Emotional and satisfying, while also draining and at times hard to play, due to the much talked about theme of "the cycle of violence." Despite the fears of many, the creative team ultimately understands and respects the emotional connection players have to Joel and Ellie, poingnantly expanding on their relationship.

Combat in this game looks as good as a cutscene would; the animations are fluid and realistic and the violence in this game is honestly incredibly satisfying and detailed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a really powerful game, I’m currently on my second play through which I recommend. This is also the first time I have ever cried during a game, I have never been so invested in characters like this.

    When I first played the game I disliked Abby in the beginning but then I took a moment and realised in this universe I would have done the same if someone had murdered my dad. She is parallel with Ellie in her hunt for revenge. These are both women going after a person who has murdered their dad/father figure. These characters are neither good nor bad but this is also due to the circumstances of their environment. You can love Joel and Ellie and still like Abby, it is not one or the other. It’s important to take a moment to put yourself in the characters shoes, why are they taking this steps, what has happened to them? These are characters full of trauma. Ellie and Abby have been raised where brutal violence is the norm, if anything necessary to survive. Playing this game, my main hope was for this cycle of violence to be broken and that’s what makes it so heartbreaking, at the end we are left with two people who are shells of themselves, completely broken. Honestly I could go on and on. Best game I’ve ever played. Gameplay and visuals, everything was superb.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many people will be devastated playing this game and feel betrayed that the story didn't end up going the way they wanted but does that mean it's a bad story. No. The world in this game is a bleak and brutal world and the story has to be as well.
    A bold move by naughty dog to make you play as joels killer 'Abby' but throughout the her story you come to realise her life was destroyed because of joels and ellies actions, I for one loved playing as her and felt a deep sympathy for the amazing beefcake.
    The revenge feeling of ellie is great when you first start the campaign killing as many WLFs as you can but when it switches perspectives to Abbys point of view you realise you have been killing people with loved ones, the pain I felt realising I've killed dogs who have names and who you can play fetch with really broke my heart.
    By the end of the seattle storyline I didn't want to kill any WLF or Sephrarites because after hearing in game dialogue I came to feel sorry for them. As the game shows theres no real good guys or bad guys in this world, only people trying to survive and build communities.
    The end scene with joel and ellie trying to move on and start again really hit hard knowing Joel dies the following day and they never got the chance to start over, seeing joels voice crack when speaking to her really hurts. This is a story of revenge and how taking revenge puts you in a cycle of violence and a world full of hate which will only bring you nothing out of it for example abby killing joel leads to all of her friends dying and ellie trying to hunt down abby leads to friends dying her losing dina and the baby.
    The fight between ellie and abby at the end is a really tough one to play through because i love both characters and didn't want to see one kill the other and was relieved when ellie finally puts her revenge behind her and stops letting abby and lev leave and go.
    Don't be mad at having to play as a lesbian woman or a hulking woman cos both are very great characters, it's 2020 enjoy playing as women and grow up. Also about time a trans character makes an appearance in a video game, what a character lev is.
    Don't listen to the majority of negative reviews cos most gamers haven't even finished the game it's currently on 18% of people who have completed it so anyone who hasn't finished the story has no right to even write a review.
    Loved everything about the game, personally I preferred the first games story but the second games story is just as amazing and shouldn't be discredited because you didn't expect it to go your way. The last of us 2 really opens up the world and shows how a revenge story has consequences on the person enacting the revenge.
