    Saw all the mixed reviews and I usually follow the people's choice as I find them honest. This game ROCKS . The only part I didn't like was when it ended as all games do.. Yes the story is twisted and tears your heart apart but with a story like that I won't be forgetting it like most games ..

    TLOU2 is the sequel we needed. Complex characters dealing with complex situations and emotions in a brutal world that is expertly realised. Acting, writing, tech, cinematography, gameplay - all exceed and improve on those of Part 1. I can't wait to see what the next journey Naughty Dog takes us on will be.

    Amazing story, interesting character. You can watch story from both side. Absolutely technical masterpiece. Best graphic in current generation. As for me the strong side of this game is in the ability of modifying the character, that depends on quantity of found items.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us Part II doesn’t just tell you that violence is bad, but it shows you the ramifications of it by dealing with the emotional toll as well as the consequences on not just the main character involved, but their loved ones too. At the start of the game, Joel is brutally killed by Abby and we go with Ellie on a mission to avenge him by killing everybody involved. We see it all from Ellie’s POV, hardheartedly seeing Abby as the villain as she just killed the character that we know and love as we have an emotional connection to him after the first game. His death is supposed to make you feel anger. It’s not like you’re supposed to be joyed by it. His death scene left me feeling empty and disgusted, wanting revenge alongside Ellie. However, as the game goes on, we start to see the story from Abby’s POV. We learn that the doctor that you, the player, had to murder at the end of The Last of Us is actually the father of Abby. This is brilliant. Now we see one of the main themes of the story, consequences, and I was immediately on board. Joel is not a good person, at all. He murdered hundreds of Fireflies and took away the possible cure for humanity for his own personal reasons. This is incredibly selfish, even going to the lengths of lying to Ellie about the events as he knows that it isn’t what she would want. Technically, Joel is the villain. Joel had been through so much, so you may think it’s justified. But the point is, Joel isn’t the only person in the world of The Last of Us. Everybody he murders aren’t just mindless NPCs, they are people. People with their own problems who have gone through their own share of pain and loss, people with their own loved ones. Such as the doctor, who had Abby, whom he loved very much and Abby the same. So, understandably, she would feel incredible anger and feel the need for revenge, just the same as Ellie and the player after Joel’s death. There is now a cycle of revenge. Ellie goes on to kill Abby’s friends, and so Abby tries to kill Ellie and her friends. It’s not until Lev talks Abby out of it that the cycle seems to have been “broken”. Abby and Lev put it behind them, however, Ellie cannot and nor can Tommy, which means that the cycle is not broken. Ellie continues her hunt for revenge, thinking it’s still what she needs. Just as she’s about to murder Abby, she sees it’s completely useless. Here I’m going to talk about another core theme of the story: loss. As Ellie is about to kill Abby, she realises that Joel is gone. Completely gone, and killing Abby is not going to change that. She now has Lev, and if Ellie was to kill Abby, Lev would only lose Abby, leaving him in the same situation Ellie was in at the start of the game, which in turn means Ellie is becoming what she set out to kill. It’s no use. Revenge only causes more pain and loss. This cycle is so vicious and nobody wins, and Abby realised this once she found Lev, and found that revenge is a futile thing that does not achieve anything, especially not bringing back her dead friends. She managed to break the cycle herself, and in turn, she found a life worth living, alive with Lev. However, Ellie could not manage this, choosing to still seek revenge. Because of this, she faces the consequences. She loses all of her loved ones. She loses Dina, she loses Jesse and she loses her little boy, JJ. Tommy is the same too. Tommy couldn’t break the cycle, and he loses his wife, Maria. And guess what, Joel is still gone. All of that loss, yet Joel is still dead. It’s all been for nothing. Ellie is now completely alone, which is what she said she was scared of in the first game, all because of revenge. The way forward is not anger, rage or revenge, but acceptance and love.

    You may think this treatment of Joel and Ellie is “disrespectful”, but I disagree. In the first game, you do a lot of bad things as these characters. Yeah, you go through a lot of pain, but so has everybody else, yet they still face the unfavourable consequences. It only makes sense that Joel and Ellie would too. In my opinion, this only helps to build the world of The Last of Us and show that just because Joel and Ellie are the main characters, they aren’t invincible, and the world doesn’t revolve around them. They just happen to be two people who live in the world amongst so many others, which for me, makes it so much more realistic. This is emphasised in the incredible detail in the gameplay of each enemy having names, with other enemies interacting with each other as you stalk them. It makes them feel so much more real and only increased my enjoyability. From a story like this, which is so dark and gritty, I don’t expect a happy ending. You’re not supposed to like Ellie by the end of this story, as she serves as the example of why the cycle of revenge is horrible. You’re not supposed to feel satisfied by it, you’re supposed to feel empty, hurt and sad. That is literally the point.    … Expand

    I can say that this work can be understood by few, it consists of a very dark and serious topic for reflection. But if you are not 16 years old and have an iq of more than 10, I hope you will be able to understand and accept what is happening on the screen. As a result, the game turned out to be amazing in all its components. But even if you couldn't understand the plot, this game doesn't deserve a score of 0! We worked on it for 7 years!!! This is a Titanic work and fully justified for all these years!
    It is also a new breath of air in the gaming industry, and I am happy that Naughty Dog took such a risk and they are great fellows!

    Вы лучшие Naughty Dog! Это самая лучшая игра из всех, в которые только играл. Данная игра настолько живая, что я полностью погрузился в неё, мне не передать весь спектр эмоций и чувств, которые испытал при прохождении данной игры. В какой-то момент я возненавидел Нила Дракмана (не саму игру!), но это было временное чувство, ведь итог получился потрясающим.
    Могу сказать, это произведение смогут понять не многие, оно состоит из очень мрачной и серьёзной темой для размышления. Но если вам не 16 лет и iq больше чем 10, то надеюсь, вы сможете понять и принять происходящее на экране. В итоге игра получилась потрясающей во всей её состовляющей. Но даже если вы не смогли понять сюжет, то эта игра не заслуживает оценки 0! Над ней работали 7 лет!!! Это титаническая работа и полностью оправданная за все эти годы!

    Joel’s death was a strong scene in the game, and it was supposed to be a tad bit different. Druckmann spoke of this while discussing the scenes that they altered or scrapped from the game.
    “In the first edit of that scene, you felt nothing. Ellie’s being held down and Joel’s looking at her and we had this idea of like, “Oh man Joel’s brain is so f***ed up at that moment that the only word that’s coming out of his mouth is his daughter’s name, ‘Sarah.’” It felt powerful, but then Troy [Baker] — to his credit — was like, “I don’t think he should say anything.”    … Expand

Combat scenarios are intense, open-ended and dynamic; enemies have a great variety and require various skillful tactics to defeat. Player freedom, from the settings to gameplay approach, is high. The soundtrack is top-notch, and music is masterfully deployed to match the mood of every scene. Excellent visuals, gameplay, sound and world design are only the start. There’s also some amazing blockbuster-level action set pieces and top-notch production values.

    What really matters, why I game, is for the experience. After lots of gaming, I admit I stopped caring about them for a while. Games just started to feel too familiar. This rekindled that fire a thousand times over, by making me feel every single emotion under the sun. Anger, horror, shock, loss, fear, joy, giddiness, disbelief, awe, sadness, excitement, every single thing. Over the 3 or so days I spent with this game, doing little else outside of sleeping and eating, I kept marveling at these emotions it was eliciting, the expansive and twisted and difficult storyline, the amazing characters, the brilliant way fully-realized characters were opposed to each other, the way the game made you do things that made your skin crawl. On the horror side, there were so so so many moments of intense adrenaline. On the storytelling side, I’ve rarely seen a story as moving and as difficult as this, explored in a way that only video games can realize. This is gaming as an artform, and Naughty Dog has secured my loyalty for life.

    In the interest of keeping this spoiler-free, I don’t wanna say much else, except buy this game. Play it with an open mind. It is dark and messy and **** and some parts will drain you, anger you, make you question a lot. Every aspect of it is working towards telling one of the most powerful experiential stories I have ever witnessed. As a software engineer by day, and writer by night, both parts of me feel elated to the highest level for having experienced this. Games of this quality rarely occur.. The Last of Us Part 2 is without equal, a generation-defining masterpiece, and my favorite game of all time.    … Expand

For each character you worry. The game was very adult. Propaganda does not smell, only rare non-standard situations for residents of the CIS. But to put 0 points for the game at this moment is nonsense. Seeing flashbacks, the player unconsciously imbues the atmosphere and love from the first part. Bad estimates are made by “burning” players who were waiting for kindness and love, but unfortunately the plot turned in a completely different direction. Yes, it hurts, but hard. But the game is phenomenal. Graphics, optimization, localization pleases. Had a great job. It’s nice to even collect supplies and watch the animation. Be prepared for a very adult and serious plot that will not leave you indifferent. The developers assumed that the community would be divided into two groups. The fact that the plot broke his heart does not mean that the game deserves a "0". At least for all the little things and the development of the game deserves praise. Naturally, I put 10/10. I hope the developers are not scared by the reaction of the players. After all, the last few years have lacked very serious projects. Soul was invested in this project. Feels like. Respect has no limits. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in this masterpiece. Hopefully we will see similar projects that make you admire, scream and cry at the same time !!!!
    The game cuts, but it makes it even more serious. Thoughtful project, do not rush to pass the game quickly. Leave yourself time to think. And stay objective, even if your feelings hurt!

    Напишу пост на русском языке. Конечно, большая часть пользователей - англоговорящие.
    Игра великолепна, начиная с первых кадров и до последнего. Да, сюжет очень тяжелый. Повествование идет не спеша, иногда хотелось бы более насыщенного отрезка игры. За каждого персонажа ты переживаешь. Игра получилась очень взрослой. Пропагандой не пахнет, лишь редкие нестандартные ситуации для жителей СНГ. Но ставить за этот момент игре 0 баллов - глупость. Видя флешбеки игрок неосознанно проникается атмосферой и любовью из первой части. Плохие оценки ставят "горящие" игроки, которые ждали доброты и любви, но к сожалению сюжет повернул совсем в другую сторону. Да больно, да тяжело. Но игра феноменальна. Графика, оптимизация, локализация радует. Провели огромную работу. Приятно даже собирать припасы и наблюдать за анимацией. Будьте готовы к очень взрослому и серьезному сюжету, который не оставит Вас равнодушными. Разработчики предполагали, что сообщество разделится на две группы. То что сюжет разбил сердце - не означает, что игра заслуживает "0". Как минимум за все мелочи и проработку игра заслуживает похвалы. Естественно 10/10 ставлю. Надеюсь разработчиков не испугает реакция игроков. Ведь последние несколько лет не хватает очень серьезных проектов. Душа была вложена в этот проект. Чувствуется. Уважению нет границ. Спасибо всем, кто приложил руку к данному шедевру. Надеюсь мы увидим подобные проекты, которые заставляют восторгаться, кричать и плакать одновременно!!!!
    Игра режет, но от этого она становится еще серьезнее. Вдумчивый проект, не спешите проходить быстро игру. Оставляйте себе время на подумать. И оставайтесь объективными, даже если Ваши чувства задели!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think it's obvious by now that this game is not for everyone. For me, I think Naughty Dog knocked it out of the park yet again.
    First of all the graphics, the big set pieces and acting in the game are phenomenal, no one can deny it. I really enjoy the gameplay too (some people get burned out by it but that's what happens when you play like 17 hours at a time) the visceral combat is fantastic. But what I am really impressed by is the bold direction they took with the story and the way they structured it. By the end of the game I really grew fond of Abby even though she killed Joel, one of the most beloved video game characters. And even though Ellie's story breaks my heart because I care about her so much that's what I signed up for when I play a game like this. This is a bleak world and no other games leave me devastated by the end like The Last of Us does to the point I don't feel like playing anything else for a while.
    I don't know how people were expecting for ND to just make an exact copy to the first game, that was neved going to happen. Also Ellie is not that innocent girl anymore, deal with it, this is a perfect evolution of her story.

    Thank you Sony for continuing to give us these experiences , the best in entertainment. And to the people who work for this website, please make it a thing to verify the purchase when giving a score for a game because we get thousands of people who've never played the game    … Expand

    When the boundaries between the art piece and that of the audience fade, raw emotions are elicited. The last of us part one, cultivated emotions wonderfully. Naughty dog has been able to improve on this in a truly substantial way. these are their characters and the stories that they're telling are beautiful

    The Gameplay is most like in TLOU 1, but with many Quality-of-Life Improvements and better Gunplay. The Feedback is a blast when you fire a Shot with the Revolver or hit Enemys with an Arrow. The most polarizing part in this Game is the Story. For me personally, it’s realistic and a useful Story in the Franchise. It’s not TLOU 2, it’s Part 2, like written in the Title, it’s the further Course of one big Story and that‘s feelable and well made.

    I have waited seven years for this master class narrative and it truly delivered. Neil Druckmann has once again crafted a superb art that will be praised for generations. Last of us part 2 includes an engaging experience with many moments that twist the plot for the better. Last of us part 2 stands higher than majority of the games in the last seven years.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a grandson of a holocaust survivor, and I feel that The Last of Us Part II has help me deal with this fact unlike any other work of art. Haunting, lasting, this will affect your dreams. No doubt influenced by Druckman's time in Israel with the Israel-Palestinian conflict, this is a story about war and redemption. About endless lost, for no reason. The meaninglessness of war. That nothing is resolved but death. And at the end, all you have to show for it is that you are missing your fingers.

    This is an experience that shows what is possible with this new medium of art called the videogame.

    This is an experience of living with war unlike any other art I have seen. "All quiet on the Western Front," "Apolyspye Now", "Catch 22" - nothing I have experienced captures truly the horror of the depth of human civilization to inflict suffering on the "other." This game is about experiencing the "other" - learning how to emphasize with a person you literally hate with a passion. By the end of the game, you are more loyal to her. The ending is brutal as you are forced to try to kill her. But thankfully at the end you can't.

    This is a bold intense game. It's a blockbuster film that has the power to transform. These are serious, serious risks taken by the developers, and the trust Sony had with the process is outstanding.

    Can you imagine if in Star Wars you not only get to watch everything from the Empire's perspective, but also start to like the Empire more than the rebels.

    Now the game itself isn't perfect. It drags on too long. The final chapter in Santa Barbara is superflosous. There is no reason for it. It can resolve with the fight with Abby and Ellie that Dina and Lev end.

    But it continues, to try to further drive home this part.

    But does it matter? No, too much power outweighs any criticism.

    Also the game mechanics are top notch. The enemy AI is brilliant. Strategy is fascinating. To go stealth, then to have to break it, then to attempt again.

    The scene with the war on the island is breathtaking.

    God I hope more games will go in this direction. That will take risk, not be safe.    … Expand

    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.
