    Amazing,gripping and tense gameplay. It is an improvement over part 1. Story was naughty dog's ownership and we have to accept what message writers giving us. Humans are enemies of each other over petty matters and few resources. We should realise no virus or contagion is threat to us but we are threat to ourselves

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This isn't good game, Also, it isn't bad game. Well, this game make me to think 'Is killing Abby can make Ellie satisfied?'. Welp, At first, the answer is yes(to Ellie), but she knew it was no. Maybe she saw Joel's behavior to Abby's behavior(saving kid or fighting for fire gun). Of course, Abby is bad shet in this game, cause you know, kill Joel, bite Ellie's two fingers... I think Ellie try to kill Ellie like Abby did to Joel,(That's why she cut the rope what tied Abby, and fight with fist, not gun or knife), but she knew all people has reasons. But it isn't good game, I said. It is too unkind to tell this meaning to us. Make too difficult to us. Thanks to me about giving 6, dudes.… Expand

    Far too fortuitous events make this story less believable, key characters just meet at random, and the outcome of their interaction is sometimes just there for shock value or to get the storyline going in a short amount of time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As time goes on we can start to see the reviews from the people who ACTUALLY played the game and didn't jump to the fanboy/hate bandwagon.

    I would rate it a solid 9.5 but since it is not possible i'll settle for a 9.

    The gameplay is improved in every way imaginable from the first game, it feels heavy and meaningful, you actually feel bad killing most of the time.

    The graphics are (in my opinion) the best we have seen from the ps4.

    Here comes the "controversial" part, the story. It is a sotry about revenge, about a cycle of seemingly never ending violence.
    Joel's death lights the fuze for this story of revenge, making you HATE Abby and wanting to kill her at all costs. But as time goes on and you get to play as Abby (i'd say probably 1/3rd of the game?) you get to see that like Ellie and Joel, she too has a family and some friends to protect, an active comunity.

    At the end of the first game i kept trying to excuse Joel from the countless murders and the dooming of hope for finding a cure. "He killed a lot of people... but he did it for Ellie" i thought.
    This time is the other way around, i was starting to undertand Abby and why she did what she did while at the same time trying to hate her. "She saved some kids from certain death BUT she killed Joel".

    No other game has ever given me an experience sush as this one.

    Despite all of this i too would have liked to see Abby die (which is why i rated it 9.5 and not 10), but i understand why Ellie ended up not doing it. She finally breaks the circle or death, hate and revenge and becomes "the better woman", in a sense, better than Joel was.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. In the game characters has the things that must be done, but must be stopped. In this situation, we can experience extreme suspense and conflict. We are survivors in the game. No supplies are found easily and nothing is enough. It makes every action is risk a shortage, and every moves matter.

    Brilliant game! I put in about 26hrs. Was it better than the first one? Graphics, gameplay - yes. Story - probably not. I thought at times the story was probably stretched a bit, but this was probably one of the few games out there that I actually kept going for more. I really liked the idea of playing the different perspectives. Once again an amazing job done by Naughty Dog!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Immersive gameplay and beautiful visuals. A potentially unique and visceral story unfortunately executed slightly poorly with brave narrative choices falling short of their desired effect. Lots of subverting expectations and shocking imagery to raise the players heart rate and create despair. Unfortunately this method of storytelling while having an immediate and extreme reactionary affect on the audience will inevitably fail to move anyone in any meaningful or lasting way. Thus while there are some truly stunning moments it fails to achieve the lasting impression that part 1 did. While it is understood that part 2 is trying to achieve different things. The experience feels a little too unsentimental to the legacy of the first game and this feels intentional and disrespectful.… Expand

    I believe the negative reviews are largely driven by two things.
    1 The lgbt characters. This was never really made much of a thing to be honest. They just happened to be lgbt. If the exact same story was made with a heterosexual cast there would be much fewer negative reviews.
    2 expectations were too high. A lot of people hold up the last of us as 1 of the greatest games of all time. Sequels never satisfy in these instances. If the game was not a sequel, a lot of these 0 scores would probably be 5-7.

    To summarise, the game is a great game definitely better than 90 percent of other games on the market. It is lacking in innovation as the gameplay hasn't moved on much since the 1st game, hence it doesn't quite deserve a 10 but any score lower than a 5 is a spite rating    … Expand

The narrative of the story is quite superior to most other games because it obsessive follows and symmetrical structure both in terms of narrative structure as well as characterization. This way of telling a story is quite uncommon in video games but often found in critically acclaimed literature and movies. TLOU2 is a bold step forward, pointing the gaming industry to move from purely catering to people's liking, and into a much more serious and artistic style.

    Even if it is hard for me to accept that my beloved characters are harmed, I can not deny this game is a very good game, and it should be marked as an important moment that video games evolved once again!    … Expand

    No matter if the story didn't go the course we expected, it's still a masterpiece in concept. Also, its graphics, sound design and characters are all captivating, so there's no denying that it deserves the attention it gets

    3.To be honest, i can accpet Joel's death, but not in such stupid way !! remember in TLOU1 ? Joel figured out the hunters when he drives the car, at the first sight, and , in part2, he went into these well-trained, armed strangers' base ? Even Ellie knew not to tell her name to a stranger, why Tommy will tell everything ?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I did prefer the first game overall, there is no question to me that this is objectively one of the best games on this generation of consoles. Subjectively, of course people might like or dislike some elements of the game (whether from a gameplay or story standpoint), but there is no way this is objectively rated "average" at a 5, let alone a 0. I'd say people rating this a 5 or below are not acting in good faith (or have not played enough games in their life to know what a mediocre game really looks like), and the "0" reviews should entirely be discarded (alternatively, any user review posted on the day of the release should probably have been prevented or deleted by metacritic. The game itself takes 25h to finish)

    The Last of Us 2 has flaws (although they in my opinion don't prevent it from being an excellent game) Gameplay wise, I'd agree that the stealth aspects of the game feel a bit dated for example. Story wise, I'm sure a lot of things could have been told differently, although I won't pretend I'd know how.

    I could discuss at length the many qualities and issues of the game, but a lot of critics, professional or otherwise, have done a better job at it than I ever would. What I can say is that after finishing the game, I felt empty and extremely sad, but in a good way, if that makes sense. Basically there are not that many video games that can make me feel connected to the characters in such a strong way. "Life is Strange" comes to mind, and TLOU1, of course. As such, I'd say this game was a huge hit for me. I know I will still be thinking about this experience 10 years from now.

    Not a 10/10, because 10 to me was TloU1, and I don't think #2 beats it in my heart, but definitely one of the best games on PS4 as far as I'm concerned. Super disappointed that the review bombing has been preventing adult discussions on the flaws and merits of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The barrage of red numbers breaks my heart, for art was not designed to be spot on. Art was made to make the individual think, contort in uncomfortable stupor, and gasp in awe.

    While I understand games are not TV shows, games are not primarily stories aiming at showcasing a disastrous world that can perhaps divide an audience, The Last of Us II is a game that does just that. As an aspiring writer, I always think of taking risks with storytelling, but I worry that my audience will not respect my choices. While I know I love my characters, do they ultimately belong to me, or the people who read?

    The Last of Us II is phenomenal for me because it makes me uncomfortable to live in my own skin; I had to constantly look over my shoulder while playing this game, I felt like I was in trouble, and watching Joel's death did a number on my mental health, but while this made me angry, while this made me hate the game, I trod on. I felt Ellie's pain, I felt the discomfort that crept in Dina's mind when watching the woman she loved make such decisions, I felt these character's ideologies being spat at on their face because the world that they live in was not kind. We knew this starting from Sarah's death in the first game, this world was anything but kind, but this game showed us just how monstrous.

    While I did not entirely enjoy playing as Abby, some of the best gameplay of the entire game was in her play through. I understand the need to hate on her, because GOD I hated her, and I not sympathise with her, and I understand that ND failed there to induce any sort of sympathy in my mind for her being, but I could not deny her existence. Abby existed in the world Joel did, and what Joel did to her was enough to have him killed, even though the way he died was just downright brutal. I jumped out of my skin while fighting the Rat King, I hated any part that displayed Abby's kindness, because who was she and why the heck did she have to be kind? She had no right after what she did to Joel. And by the time I could get accustomed to playing her, as if I were in a limbo and weren't playing The Last of Us 2 at all, I am forced to fight Ellie. I am nauseous by now, my ears were ringing, my hands were trembling and my temptation to see Ellie kill Abby was so tumultuous that I actually let it happen a couple of times, just to see it end.

    But then we begin to play as Ellie. Ellie's living with her trauma, but is she really living? She can't forget the images Abby left behind for her, she can't forget what happened to Joel. Obviously, she goes after Abby. Obviously, she finds her after immense struggle, and quite practically leaving behind everything she could have loved. The image Abby left behind for her, Joel's dying form, keeps ringing in her mind, ringing in MY mind. I will kill Abby when I find her and man, how satisfying it'll be.

    But we find Abby. We find her, but she's not Abby. She's a shell of who she was, lost everything and the look of pathetic desperation in her eye. I am awed, disgusted, and I know what's coming. I am praying in my mind, 'No, Ellie, it's not worth it, don't kill her', and I say 'It's not worth it', because Abby is no longer a threat. Abby is a dot in the scheme of existence itself, Abby is dead. Abby is gone. But, we fight her and my goodness, what a troubling experience that was. Neither one want's to fight, while both are struggling to live. Tired of having merely survived all these months.

    The image of what Abby left behind, Joel's dying corpse, is now replaced by the image Joel left behind. A loving man, drinking coffee too late in the night, playing his guitar. He is soft here, because given the chance, he would have always been, and he is proud of Ellie, because when was he not? Killing Abby the way she is would ridicule the very life a man like Joel had lived.

    The game was heartbreaking because the emotions were spilling out. I did not like Abby, but playing as her made me sympathise with Ellie more. Playing as Abby made me understand that the world is not black and white, but shades of grey plastered over the horizon in uncomfortable shades, shades meant to push and pull, make your mind ebb and flow with the current this game chose to flow with. I am thrilled to say I loved this game, loved every second, while I wasn't too sure while playing it. For the mere fact that it destroyed my psyche, I think the Last of Us II is a masterful genius in its genre, and while the hate breaks my heart, I think it is not a game meant to be enjoyed by everyone.    … Expand

    To me it seemed like a great game, I would dare to say that it is an artwork, it touched my heart and made me think, there are very few things that manage to "touch your heart and make you think" and one of those things is this game.

It is not a 10/10 game, but considering all the ratings about 0 from mental amoebas that hold burning crosses in their hands and jacksoff to photos of Donald Trump, I have to give her 10/10 instead of real 8.5 or 9/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a bit of a shame that you don't get to play as Joel for more than a few minutes. Joel is one of my favourite game characters of all time and it was heart breaking to see him die in part II.
    At the time of that event happening in the game i was so sad and upset at the same time. It really made me hate Abby to bits and I couldn't wait for Ellie to get her revenge.

    Halfway through the game you suddenly get to play as Abby which was so annoying at the time. However, as time progressed in the game and more events happened I actually began to understand where she was coming from. By the end I kinda liked her.
    Abby actually has some pretty epic moments in the game. Especially when she goes down in the basement of the hospital where it all started. That was seriously a crazy, dark and claustrophobic place where you take on the rat king. It was so epic to use the flamethrower here - truly an unforgettable experience.

    Ellie has her moments as well. She also gets some pretty wicked weapons such as the exploding arrows and trip mines. These weapons will rip people apart and it just looks absolutely mind blowing to watch. I can't remember a game that handles explosions so well.

    I would have liked to see more of Santa Barbara since you are not there for long. I really liked the environment and the way the Rattlers were keeping infected on chains. It was really fun to release these infected and watch them chase the Rattlers down.

    The story is not as good as in the first game but I do think the gameplay and mechanics are so much better. You can even go prone now! The game certainly feels way longer than the first one which is expected since there is currently no multiplayer available as there was in the first game. This game is one of those games that you HAVE to play. It sets new standards for sure.    … Expand

Анимации в игре наверное лучшие из всех что я когда-либо видел, порой ощущения будто смотришь лайв-экшен, а не играешь в игру. Сюжет очень крепкий, особенно финал. Полностью прочувствовал состояние Элли, которая уже не понимала что она вообще делает и для чего.

    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.
