    Fantastic game. Whether the first one is better than this or not is up for debate, but this is an instant classic.

This game blew me away, I agree that the story went in such a way that I disliked it at first glance. But if you play on, you come to realise why it happened and why it actually had to happen! By the end of the story, everything about the game made sense and was a real blast to play through. I took my time to explore and find all the lore and finished it in around 24 hours. There aren’t many single player games with that length, there aren’t many games that actually made me feel the way I did when playing. The whole premise had an atmosphere that is extremely immersive and the fluidity of the games progression is spot on. I can’t fault it, if I’m honest. You get multiple sides of the story and when it all actually comes together, it’s a wild and brutal ride that will leave a mark! If you enjoyed the first, you will no doubt enjoy this one. I was very anti-TLOU2 after I saw the leaks a few months back and I already knew the general jist of the story. But I didn’t let that spoil the game, the leaks happen within the 2 hour mark and the rest of the 22 hours it took for me to finish came as a surprise. The lore in this game is incredible, there are many different stories going on that you physically read through. I literally have nothing bad to say about this game. Apart from the fact people are leaving bad reviews for no reason when you can clearly see they never played it!

    Favourite chapter: Seattle Day 2 - Ground Zero. This chapter was absolutely incredible. If you enjoyed the first one, buy this game and don’t listen to all the negativity! You will not be disappointed! The last 3 hours of the game will blow you away!    … Expand

    Mega gra i doświadczenie emocjonalne. Dla takich produkcji warto być graczem. Polecam samemu zagrać i docenić pracę twórców. Mimika twarzy emocje ukazane grafika zawirowania fabularne to najwyższa półka. Trzeba zrozumieć świat w jakim postacie się znajdują że jest brutalny zrozumieć przekaz konsekwencji zemsty aby docenić fabułę. Dla mnie ocena powyżej 10.

    It's one of the most complex games i've ever played. Emotionally intense, you can pass from frenetic anger and fury to full nostalgic and sadness. Gameplay is at another level, it has some mechanics that make the player feel fully inside the different situations of the characters. Really enjoyed the experience, really felt the plot.

    Es un juego que no es para todos, es un juego para gente que sabe ver un transfondo, les duele y molesta usar a Abby y comprender porqué lo hace, pueden pensar que el final no cierra como corresponde y es entendible. Pero si fueran tan buenos narrativos los criticos de youtube... Estarian en una desarrolladora y no mirando videos así... Pero bueno. Para mí es un juegazo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Für mich ist dieses Spiel definitiv eine 10/10. Die Grafik ist unfassbar gut und ich habe es genossen einfach die Landschaft zu bestaunen. Das Gameplay wurde im Vergleich zum ersten Teil merklich überarbeitet, dazu kommt noch die Nutzerfreundlichkeit im Bezug auf die Sammelbaren Objekte und die 100% Vollendung. Man kann ohne an bestimmten Stellen im Spiel einen Speicherpunkt zu setzen jedes Kapitel nach Abschluss der Story aufsuchen und bekommt angezeigt wie viele Sammelbare Objekte in dem Spielabschnitt fehlen, das ist nicht selbstverständlich.

    Der Aufbau der Story gefällt mir sehr gut, da man auch einen tiefen Einblick in die Geschickte von Abby bekommt, so zu sagen einen Blick auf die andere Seite der Medaille. Ich war während des Spieldurchlaufs von meinen Gefühlen hin und her gerissen. Dieses Spiel hat mich Emotional so stark berührt wie noch kein Spiel zuvor, das ein Spiel soetwas auslösen kann verdient meinen Respekt. Dann war da noch die Sache mit Joel. Der Tod von Joel hat mich echt geschockt, obwohl es eigentlich klar war, dass er früher oder später sterben wird wenn man bedenkt was er in Teil 1 getan hat. Dennoch passte der brutale Mord an Joel perfekt zur düsteren Stimmung des Spiels und in die erbarmungslose Postapokalyptische Zeit in der es spielt.
    Die Liebesgeschichte von Elli und Dina, die erzählt wird zeigt, so finde ich, sehr gut wie wichtig Zusammenhalt und Vertrauen sind (nicht nur in der Apokalypse). Die Entwicklung der Beziehung finde ich nebenbei bemerkt echt gelungen. Ich kann die Leute nicht verstehen, die sich darüber aufregen, dass Elli "auf einmal Lesbisch" ist und finden das es einem "aufgedrungen wird", jeder der das DLC Left behind gespielt hat weiß, dass sie bereits vor den Ereignissen von Teil 1 eine Freundin hatte.

    Alles in allem zeigt uns das Spiel sehr gut, was Rache aus einem macht und wohin es uns bringt. In meinem ersten Durchlauf ist mir nichts gravierend negatives aufgefallen. Das einzige was mich stört sind die Hunde der Gegner, aber nach einiger Zeit hat man raus wie man sie austricksen kann. Für mich ist das Spiel auf jeden Fall ein Game of the year Kandidat.    … Expand

    Wonderful game, and the most fleshed out suite of accessibility options I've ever seen. The story is amazing and so much more then the bland, formulaic stereotype that unfortunately run rampant in many games. Characters have purpose and motivation and it all comes together in a way that highlights the creators skills in storytelling.

This game shook me to the core and left me emotionally wrecked by the time I completed the story; Naughty Dog has done a great job of getting the player invested in the game and its characters and has made a valiant effort in exploring parallel narratives that force you to empathise with both perspectives of the story so far. The gameplay, albeit very similar to the original game, has vastly improved in fluidity, animations, and does a great job of providing the player options to explore, take multiple routes, and discover the world around them in a much more natural manner (compared to the prequel). The combat is also an impressive step up from the first game; each encounter flawlessly creates an atmosphere of tension and fear that I haven't felt to such a degree in games I've played before. The stealth system has improved, the player has more freedom of movement, and weapon customizations and character upgrades allow you to choose which playstyle suits you best. Oh, and need I mention the graphics?

    But more about the story - as aforementioned I thoroughly enjoyed it, it does a great job at forcing the player to reflect on their decisions and look at the conflict from various perspectives. Without spoiling too much: halfway through the game, there is a somewhat sudden shift to a parallel narrative that was taking place throughout your playthrough up till that point. This part of the game is what is a turn off for many players, as they find the jump too jarring and out of place. Although I disagree, I do see where they're coming from and do acknowledge the slight pacing issues that are a consequence of this twist. There is also a certain fight sequence right before the epilogue of the game which didn't quite sit right with me, but I can't say much without spoiling the story.

    Overall, I think this game is nothing short of a masterpiece, and much like the prequel is a giant leap forward for storytelling in video games. The best advice I can give you is to go in with an open mind, and you'll certainly love it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLoU2 improves on every aspect of its predecessor. Even though I love Joel and Ellie, ND successfully got me to empathize with Abby on a deep level. You feel for both sets of characters. You understand their motivations. While the overall theme of the game is an old one, it is delivered well. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and you feel that chill in Ellie; right up until the very end when she has lost everything. I even found myself almost rooting for Abby in the fight against Ellie in the theater. You play as Ellie, who was spared, slaughtering countless WLF on your path to revenge. It takes a particular mind to not stop and say "this seems like an unmeasured response." Gameplay-wise the game has improved by leaps and bounds. The upgrades are more fleshed out, combat is more visceral an intense. The enemies are far more varied as well. If you see larger human-type enemies, it usually takes more bullets or brute force to take them down; as it should. One small feature I enjoyed were the segments when you had to use ropes. It's a small thing, but it was neat. The open level design at the beginning of Seattle was perfect. I really cant rave enough about this game. For those who loved the original and are disappointed with the change of characters, I would point you to MGS2. People HATED Raiden when the game first dropped. Years later, its regarded as a masterpiece. The games are very different, but the use of changing characters as a gameplay element and plot device is largely the same. Keep an open mind and try to empathize with Abby, as well as her and Ellie's motivations and intentions and I bet in no time you will realize the true depth of this game.… Expand

You see why later and then they didn't want to play as Abby which wasn't an actual problem and she had some of the best parts in the game.

Amazing game with a great story, The gameplay did not really change from uncharted 4, its the sme type of hide and seek combat, but on higher difficulties it's a real blast to play, because you actually have to use all these gears and navigate trough the map. The graphics are amazing of course, i feel like i dont even have to say this at this point. From a technical standpoint, it's objectively one of the best games ever made. Now, the Story is much more subjective, but honestly, I really enjoyed it.

    SPOILERS
    Ellies and Abby's story are two acts of the same path told with two different characters and I think it's a great idea well executed. Ellie's is a story of misguided anger and blind vengance. When we switch to Abby's perspective, her revenge is over and we see that she is still not satisfied and her friends give her **** about the brutal killing of Joel. Her side is a story about redemption and it heavily paralels Joels journey from the first game. I disagree with the common argument that Joel's death was shock value. That would mean that it meant nothing, but that is just simply not true. Its a vital part of both characters journey and serves as the catalyst of the story.

    A lot of people say that the order of events is poorly constructed and we should've seen Abby's side before she kills Joel, but in my opinion that wouldnt work, because for the first part of the game to work we have to feel the same blind anger that ellie feels.
    At first I was really annoyed that I have to play as Abby, but they managed to humanize her enough for me to like her.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's why, to me, this game is a masterpiece and even better than the first part in some ways :
    First thing first, people got overcarried by the hate coming from the leaks, which were out of context. Now that the game is out and we have proper context to look into it all, it's obvious the writers knew perfectly what they were doing all along and it feels like a really well planned story. But of course some of those youtubers/influencers/whatever are just looking for easy views and bucks, and right now it means hating the game and follow what started with the leaks. You can disagree with the story of course, but not to the extent of sending death threats to the writers, or the actors. That's just wrong and childish, period. No one back then had proper context to judge the game.
    Firstly, to me, the game honors Ellie and Joel bonds deeply : you can feel Joel's presence all the way during the first half of the game, and seeing how Ellie does take care of a whole militia brings back memories of how Joel would have done it. She has the same moves. She has the same way (and of course, you do as a player) of wiping enemies. At one point during the game Dina says to Ellie "where did you learn how to do that ?" and she answers "Joel taught me". This is a testimony of how Joel affected Ellie, and yourself as a player. The flashbacks are here to remind you constantly of that special bond. It culminates when Ellie tries to do the same map trick Joel taught her, but it backfires on her, because she's not him. And Ellie's own failures end up in killing a pregnant woman. That's why she hates Abby so much (who seems to be successful and invicible to Ellie at that point of the game - but of course she isn't given how she loses everything and how she ends up enslaved).
    Secondly, people can't stand the fact Joel died. But Joel made that terrible choice at the end of the first game of saving Ellie at all costs. He put this on himself. And he then got soft because of the safety provided by Jacksonville and because of the redemption he found with having Ellie. You can feel it all the way during the prologue. They ALL got careless, forgetting how dangerous the world can be. There are tons of details for it : the reports on how many infected they killed during patrols (filled with smileys and jokes, even Joels after a while), the way they bring people in Jacksonville, Joels house (when you visit it, you can feel the guy has turned soft because he has Ellie in his life and he found redemption : he has an artistic soul again, given how much time he's been spending carving wood and playing guitar - things that felt meaningless to him in the first part - I couldn't believe Joel has such a sensitive soul inside given how he had to hide it all after what happened to his daughter and what he had to do to survive during those 20 years. But of course he had to switch off that survivor mentality for it).
    Now about Abby (who also plays as a Moby Dick for Ellie until the end). First, the thing her dad says when he tells her he would do just as Joel to save her even if her death would prevent humanity for getting a cure was a way to tell her we all have flaws, and so does she as she was blinded by hate for Joel. Then, the game takes a huge turn when Lev and Yara come around, it takes a whole different step because ultimately, as she says, she chooses their side over the Wolves or the Scars. That's the defining moment (on the island) when I started really caring about Abby. What matters most is the individuals, not the group logic and systemic way of dealing with things (rings any bells to how people flamed this game despite having played it or explored it enough ?). You have to look into individuals and not judge them depending on which group they're a part of (and btw, Ellie comes to the same conclusion when she writes in her diary while in Santa Barbara : "Fireflies, Scars, Wolves... f*** them all" ; she's on the same mental process as Abby, Abby just being ahead a bit). That's a wonderful character development and morale. And btw : Abby DOES show remorse and is tortured by what she did. The nightmares didn't go away with Joel's death. And Laura Bailey plays it perfectly when she kills Joel : she has seconds of hesitation and you can feel her vulnerability. Of course she's too consumed by it to show it directly. And I like to think Yara and Lev is a way for her to find purpose again and to redeem for what she did.
    The game doesn't give you anything easy and you actually have to dig deep into it to get your answers. You have to read diary logs, you have to listen to all of the conversations, you have to look into the environment to get it all. It doesn't treat you like a 5 years old, spoonfeeding you easy answers to make you feel better. I've never seen a game this detailed and well carved. I've never seen a game making me think over and over things, and to think about how we react as human beings.    … Expand

Twist at every corner with tragedy yet perfect in every way possible. To conceive a story as good as The Last of Us part 1 and pushing it even further takes immense focus and teamwork which Naughty dog has produced for us to experience under Neil Druckmann's directorship. People who shun this game are tethered to the character form previous game, which is understandable. I felt the same way but you "everyone" need to see the game through to understand why.

You'd be missing out if this bothers you.

    Here is my spoiler-free review:

    (Overall) If you enjoy a suspenseful dark story and intense brutal gameplay, then this will be amazing for you. I loved everything about it. I can say for sure that it beat the first game for me and every other game I've played. It is not as adventurous as the prequel, since the environments explored was reduced but this is not enough to decrease my rating.

    (Gameplay) The gameplay is very immersive and on par with God of War intensity. The animations and attention to detail are like no other. There is lots of exploration opportunities, but not too much to get bored. Some might not like the gameplay of a particular section of the game, but it will eventually make sense.

    (Story) The story is my favorite part, which might raise some eyebrows - the sheer tension and thriller makes you so involved as a player. You will definitely not agree with some events that occurs, but this is exactly why it makes it so haunting and memorable. I have never felt so invested in a story with dark and gritty characters.

    Play it until the very end before you make a final judgement - it is genius.    … Expand

    Исключительно все игроки считают историю очень слабой. Не малую роль сыграли ожидания игроков. Я начинал играть с этой мыслью. Но чем дольше играл, тем больше история меня захватывала и геймплей уходил на второй план. Конечно до уровня первой части в плане сюжета не достать (от слова совсем). Примерно после половины игры будет фраза, которая объяснит все решения сценаристов. Те решения, которые вызвали такое всеобщее негодование, в том числе связанное с концовкой.
    Однозначно стоит покупки. Даже если вы поставите 0 геймплею и сюжету, визуальная составляющая не оставит вас равнодушным. Выглядит неописуемо "Багато"    … Expand

This game left me thinking about it for days after I beat it, and I'm still thinking about it a week later. It is safe to say that it is a story that really hits hard, and will, if you allow yourself to see through other points of view, thinking about a lot too. Gradually seeing the player ratings come up, just shows that the people who actually played the game are begging to show up and understand it for what it is. To be this divisive and to create this raw emotion into people is enough evidence that this game is packed with emotion and powerful narrative And storytelling.

    Ставлю игре 10/10 только потому, что по моему мнению игра заслуживает даже 12/10. Если бы игру не хейтили так сильно поставил бы 8/10 со спокойной душой, так как есть ньюансы. Мне очень обидно и не хочется чтобы из-за оценок такие игры больше не делали. В целом, игра на любителя. Все, начиная с геймплея и заканчивая историей, зайдет далеко не каждому.

    Интереснейший геймплей с выживанием    Ставлю игре 10/10 только потому, что по моему мнению игра заслуживает даже 12/10. Если бы игру не хейтили так сильно поставил бы 8/10 со спокойной душой, так как есть ньюансы. Мне очень обидно и не хочется чтобы из-за оценок такие игры больше не делали. В целом, игра на любителя. Все, начиная с геймплея и заканчивая историей, зайдет далеко не каждому.

    Интереснейший геймплей с выживанием и ползанием раскрывается только на самых высоких сложностях и тогда идет максимальное погружение в историю, плюс ассоциация себя с персонажем. Мне геймплей безумно понравился, мне нравится стелс, сложность, и ползание между группами врагов. Но если задуматься, кому это вообще нужно? Большинство не хочет заморачиваться со сложностью, да и стелс как жанр не всегда привлекает людей. Так же многие скажут что это игра про хорошую историю..

    Сюжет крайне сложный для восприятия и понимания. Тяжелый эмоционально, с первых минут может заставить игрока возненавидеть всех сценаристов и бросить игру со словами: "Ну и говно! R.I.P Naughty Dog". Однако если копнуть глубже, пересилить себя, можно понять основную мысль игры "Происходит все не так, как ты хочешь". Дальше ты становишься свидетелем очень мрачной драмы, и игра не отпустит тебя аж до самых титров. А после титров ты полезешь на форумы по обсуждению игры и еще долгое время будешь сидеть и обсуждать что же это такое было? Мотивы персонажей многие могут назвать нелогичными, непонятными, глупыми. Все очень зависит от степени погруженности в игру и понимания эмоций персонажей, того что они чувствуют и тд. Это все очень не просто, так как буквально все персонажи за историю игры меняются по несколько раз. Проходит какое-то время и человек совсем другой. Невероятно то, как Naughty Dog показали эту перемену характера персонажей, очень интересно смотреть модельки одного и того же персонажа в разные периоды времени. Это чертовски крутая проработка, все до мелочей.

    Я люблю то, насколько сложный сюжет в этой игре. Я понимаю почему многие ненавидят, поливают говном этот сюжет. Все что происходит на экране не оставит равнодушным никого. И это как бы и показывает что это такой next-gen для сценариев, такого нам еще никогда не показывали в видеоиграх настолько хорошо. Максимально неоднозначный сценарий, о котором хочется думать, находить в нем какие-то новые интересные моменты.

    Вывод такой. Если нравится сложный драматический сюжет в связке с выживанием и стелсом, если не ожидать от игры многого, то можно получить невероятный опыт, которого до сих пор не приносили видеоигры в принципе.    … Expand

The plot and story are not easily digested, and there are moments when it is difficult to keep going. Characters experience challenging developmental arcs and experience a seemingly never ending number of devastating events along the way to a conclusion that challenges the player to establish new expectations for the stories capable of being tackled in this medium.

    La historia está genial,tiene cosas que no me gustaron,pero es muy buena. Y la gente que odia a Abby,son solo unos subnormales fanáticos a muerte de Joel y Ellie que no son capaces de entender que,para nosotros Joel es el bueno y que solo estaba protegido a Ellie,pero para los demás personajes del universo de The Last of Us,Joel es un genocida,eso es así. Lo que debería sorprendernos,es que nadie antes hubiera buscado venganza. Se nota que Abby es una buena persona,solo mató a quien tenía que matar,a diferencia de Ellie,que se los carga a todos para luego,ni si quiera terminar lo que empezó,y en consecuencia,ella lo pierde todo. Creo que Naughty Dog quería que,cuando jugaramos con Abby sintiéramos rabia y ganas de matarla(yo lo hice un par de veces solo porque me daba placer xd),y aunque me jode admitirlo,la historia de Abby,me ha gustado mucho más que la de Ellie,en este juego.
    Claro que tiene cosas que no me gustaron nada,como el que haya demasiada diversidad forzada. Es que no me jodas:Jesse,Yara,Lev(transexual), asiáticos. Isaac,negro. Manny,latino. Una cosa es integrar y otra,forzar. La engañosa muerte de Tommy. Y, sobretodo,que no hubiera varios finales. Este juego bebe muchísimo del punto de vista de cada personaje,y quiere que el jugador se sienta comprometido. Tendrían que haber puesto 3 finales: uno en el que Ellie matara a Abby para culminar su venganza de una puñetera vez,otro en el que Abby matase a Ellie,para que la dejase de perseguir, y el otro que es el que verdaderamente tuvimos,por mucho que sea agridulce. A mí me da exactamente igual lo que digan los cuatro gilipollas que se ponen a hablar mal del título sin ni siquiera haberlo jugado.
