    I honestly think this game has gotten a lot of unwarranted hate. Some of the story was definitely lackluster, however I do think the majority of the game excelled at what it was trying to tell.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After a 23 1/2 hour first playthrough yesterday, I’ve just started my second. Part II improves on The Last of Us in every possible way; Gameplay, Visuals, Music, AI, Worldbuilding. Acting, like the first game, was phenomenal and the new characters are mostly great. The polarising story might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but having dual-protagonists (especially ones being pitted as each other’s enemies) allows for something more fleshed out and is something I’ve never seen. The end, which others have described as unsatisfying, stays true to reality and the world that’s been created here. Not every story needs a happy ending. I’m a man, and there were some tears and had my mouth agape for most of the end portions.

    The only downside to this title is that it can sometimes be monotonous, ie gameplay, that have carried over from its predecessor.

After Joel died i just wanted to stop playing.What i loved is the different emotions i had towards Ellie and Abbey.I loved the way the game made me feel hatred towards one character only to change my opinion throughout the game.I felt sorry for Ellie at the start she basically destroys every emotional attachment she had towards anyone by the end of the game and i found myself very satisfied with the ending,I found some characters bland and i would like to of seen more of Tommy,I loved this game I played it over three days,I couldn't wait to finish it,By far the best ps4 game i've played since the Last Of Us was released.Good tale of two people seeking revenge and the consequences and innocent lives that it destroys for what?The first games a story of survival, building new relationships from tragic loss ,Last Of us 2 a story of vengeance portraying how Ellie has transformed into a emotionless killing machine with no lack of empathy for anyone.two very different games.I loved it.Loved the graphics they could of added more new enemies.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright, I understand why people hate this game and the critics love it. The story of this game is insanely depressing. I have never been so depressed from a video game like this before and I guess that's what naughty dog was going at. The story feel very much like those movies that win Oscars but no one ever watched. It has that European style of story telling, and many people don't like that, and I get it. I personally feel the story was done well for the most part. Unfortunately, Joel died too early with no explanations, making you wait for 15 hours and well into half of the game. They start Abby's story with a bad taste in your mouth with the way she killed Joel and that leave so little to emphasize with her through the game. However, her bond with Yara and Lev is great. It makes her character much like Joel, someone who did bad things but through her connection with kids and ultimately saving them, she finds peace with the death of her father, something that revenge didn't do for her. In a way Lev is Ellie and Abby is Joel. Ellie has do decide whether she can end the revenge cycle and choose the outcome for her self and not for Joel. There are also many foreshadowing scattered throughout the game. Ultimately, this game is a survivor horror through and through. The gameplay is satisfying in moment to moment combat, but the animation do get repetitive torwards the end because of how lengthy this game is. It took me 38 hours to beat it. This game also has great level design and every place feels organic. The visuals again look amazing and the the music is on par with the first game. The voice acting here is top notch with some of the best side characters. Overall this is a great game. It aims high and tries to go big, and perhaps it does to many things at once. The first game did great because it was simple but yet so effective in it's story telling. If the first game was a masterpiece, this is close to that. Hopefully you will give it a shot.… Expand

    Gameplay

    The game is far from perfect, even story wise, but first let's see the technical aspects. The gameplay is virtually unchanged from the first part of the game. That's a 7 year old title, which wasn't exactly ground breaking even then. I haven't seen a QTE in a game for a long time,

    However there are improvements to the gameplay, but mostly just streamlining. I could play this more effectively than the first one, the stealth seems more smooth and predictable. And in most encounters you can actually choose if you take down all enemies or stealth through, both approaches are effective.

    The gameplay doesn't get boring, because it is broken up by cutscenes, and slower segments of exploration. And on top of that the game switches between multiple playable characters that have slightly different abilities. There are also occasional flashback sequences.

    What I found most annoying is the constant shortage of resources. And it's not the availability of resources in the environment, but the fact that you can't stock up on things. Your ammo carrying capacity is limited to 6-10 bullets / weapon. That is ridiculously low. And you can only carry 3 of each crafting material, when many of the materials are shared between multiple craftable items.

    The gameplay is solid even if a bit disappointing in terms of there being no new mechanics at all. The combat difficulty setting is quite meaningless, as the hardest part of the game is when you fight monsters that instakill you. And there is no difference in that whether you play on hardest or easiest. So the game is not "journo easy" to say the least.

    The technical aspects

    There are areas where the game made huge leaps. Namely character animations. This game has the best animations, facial and otherwise that I've seen in anything. It seems to me that they made the leap where people's muscles are actually simulated, I mean the body parts are not rigid, but change their shape depending on movements and actions, as the muscles contract and relax. I have not seen that in any other game to date.

    The graphics is up there with the best, but not actually the best. I think in terms of characters Detroit Become Human still has it beat, and in terms of the environment Ghost Recon Breakpoint is superior. But this one is not far behind, and of course this is great in both the environment and the characters, so not just a one trick pony like those games.

    The Story

    Oh this is the hard bit to judge without specifics. First thing first: I could not detect an ounce of SJW influence in the game, or feminist frequency for that matter. The writing is not suffering like in the case of XCOM Chimera Squad, the characters aren't quota mandated, or defined by their gender. There is no dunking on men, or proclaiming of female superiority or any trans sex for that matter.

    There is nothing to fear unless you are disheartened by the mere inclusion of a strong female character. And strong in this case means physically strong.

    The main focal point of the story is trying to humanize the enemy. Which funny enough I was contemplating in my review of the first Last of Us, that the bad guys are always portrayed as psychopaths or sociopaths in these stories and it made no sense to me. Well that changes here and now. As we see the story playing both sides. In fact in my case, and I may be alone in this, the roles were completely reversed. I was actually rooting for the supposed anti-hero.

    The first 20 hours of the game was pretty amazing, I enjoyed the hell out of it. But we should've left things as they were in Seattle. If the story stopped right after that I'd have named this game of the year. But no, they had to just keep dragging it on, and on, and on. This is a clear case where less would've been more.

    Everything that happens after Seattle feels rushed, there are huge leaps in time and space, that make zero sense. It's as if they suddenly cancelled The Last of Us 3 and quickly slapped the key points of it's proposed story arc to the end of this game. I hated that bit, for being so depressive.
    Final thoughts

    This was a roller coaster alright, unfortunately one that just slid off the tracks at the, instead of coming to a graceful stop at a station. That said however I wouldn't have missed the first 20 hours of the game for any reason.

    I know this is advice that is impossible to keep, but you are better off quitting the game after Seattle and never finishing it. It would've been better for me for sure. I feel miserable now. I felt hopeful at that point. But the fact that I feel miserable is a kind of testament to the quality of writing. My subconscious cannot tell that these are fictional characters, and I feel awfully sorry for them, even though my conscious mind knows it's not real.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not gonna lie, when I completed The Last of Us back on PS3, never thought it was gonna have a sequel, like, what would it be the point or goal to achieve for Ellie and Joel? In my opinion, they destroyed the whole script with the ending in the first game so that's why I didn't expect a new game to be released.
    Joel was given a mission which was to take care of Ellie and bring her to the Fireflies' camp so they could make a vaccine wit her blood. During their journey they go through a lot of terrible moments, losses and they struggle to survive in order to achieve the goal set for Marlene. Yes, Joel and Ellie make bonds with each other which is a crucial thing for the game. At the end, Joel's decission was the most important plot twist. He went to another direction to the one he was supposed to. He refuse to give Ellie to the fireflies because she would die, he was selfish, yeah. But nobody cared because people understood him, because I believe we all would probably do the same he did, he started seeing Ellie as his daughter and what he did was "right", Joel was a hero in our eyes.
    But, does that make him a real heroe? In a videogame, probably, because it is so easy to be in the character's shoes. In real life, I bet if we took Joel's path we would be hated and Naughty Dog knows that. Just imagine, same situation as Joel and Ellie went through but applied in this pandemic situation that we are living in (COVID-19). How would you feel knowing that there is one person that has the cure for all this and at the end they just say "no, **** but I can't do this, I can't let this person die to save the humankind, it will be hard for me, those that stand on my way to stop me will be killed." Would you feel ok with their decission knowing that the world will continue with the virus and having in mind that this could have been completely stopped?
    I know, one thing happens in a videogame and the other example is based on real life, but , that's what Naughty Dog was aiming to that in The Last of Us and The Last of Us part II, putting a real life context or sensitive situation in a videogame or at least, trying to make it more real-life like.
    With all that said, I personally feel The Last of Us part II have brutality from the beggining to the end. One person going for revenge. Revenge people could actually attempt in real life if somebody else took their loved ones' life for personal and selfishness reasons, plus, the fact that the death mentioned could have saved the whole humanity if things were different, but they ain't. It is all about that, perspectives, no one is good or bad it all depends on the eyes of the beholder. I loved it from head to toe, it always makes you question yourself about the good and evil and beyond the meaning you give to every single action took in the game, it gives you the chance to experience it in different point of views. Was basically like going in a rollercoaster of emotions where you could not predict what was gonna be the next thing to happen. You started developing feelings with a character and next thing you know they are gone. I loved those up and downs.
    I just wish they would have added more gameplay to explain what happened after Abby encountered Ellie in the theater. Probably they will bring a DLC, who knows?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Part II é uma história incrível de sentimentos mistos. Tem altos e baixos, mas nada para tirar o valor da narrativa de The Last Of Us Part II. A história começa bem, com a Ellie vivem em Jackson, mas um dos pecados do Part II é a morte do Joel, não como foi feita, mas do jeito que foi, que pareceu que foi forçado ou algo do tipo. Ao desenrolar da história vemos flashbacks emocionantes e vemos que o Joel tinha que morrer naquele momento para a história funcionar. A história cada vez fica melhor, ainda mais quando jogamos com a Abs, a suposta "vilã" do jogo, mas quando jogamos com ela, vemos o outro lado da moeda, que tudo não é como imaginamos, se é certo ou errado, se ela é a vilã ou a Ellie é a verdadeira vilã da história. Na parte da Abs tem um grande pecado de jogar muito, mas muito tempo com ela em partes que não precisavam ser tão grandes como a gente jogar 10 ou mais horas com ela, é meio cansativo. A parte final é a mais magnífica, se tu entender, é claro. No começo nos vamos "salvar" a Abs e foi uma coisa que eu gostei, pensei que a Ellie iria conversar mas não, logo depois ela obriga a Abs a lutar com ela. O clima começa a ficar tenso quando a Ellie quase afoga a Abs, mas se lembra do Joel, ele não iria querer isso e também é algo injusto, já que o Joel matou o pai da Abs para Salvar a Ellie, matou a pessoa que deixou a Ellie viver e a Ellie simplesmente vai matar a Abs porque ela matou a pessoa tirou a única coisa que ela queria? A Ellie queria ser a cura, mas depois que o Joel falou a verdade, ela nunca mais foi a mesma com ele, sendo tratando ele como ninguém. Quando a Ellie foi para a casa, percebemos que ela perdeu tudo. A pessoa que ela amava e a única lembrança que ela tinha do Joel, que foi o violão, já que ela está sem os dois dedos ela não consegue mais tocar violão e foi a única coisa que o Joel deixou pra ela. A vingança nunca é algo bom, você fica cega com ela, assim como a Ellie ficou.
    Minha nota para o jogo é 9/10. Os pecados que eu citei foi algo crítico ao jogo, mas não tira o charme dele. Não minha visão, ele superou o primeiro ou se iguala a ele.    … Expand

A nivel de gameplay es lo mismo que vimos en el primer juego pero más pulido, no inventa la rueda pero funciona de maravilla. Los escenarios son más abiertos en algunos tramos y da un punto interesante a la exploración y el crafteo, habiendo por supuesto otros de mayor linealidad, el diseño de estos escenarios son muy buenos, aunque a veces son algo caóticos, aunque supongo que es algo hecho a posta puesto que estamos ante escenarios post-apocalípticos.

A couple minor plot issues and an ending that felt like it dragged compared to the entire build up. One of the most impressively written narratives I’ve ever seen. I really can understand the people who aren’t too fond of this game, but giving it a 1/10 basically just outs yourself as not playing the game or giving it a chance. There’s plenty of good in this game even if you hate certain choices. Personally it worked so well for me, and I can’t wait to go back and replay it. I was shocked at my favorite parts of the game being Abby’s section. Laura Bailey puts in an absolutely incredible performance. This game is an absolute masterpiece of storytelling in gaming. Jumping from timeline to timeline, switching from Ellie to Abby, killing off the characters that it does...and executing them all so well is insane. There were a lot of areas where this game could’ve collapsed on itself but it manages to be a worthy successor. I truly think we’ll get a third game, too, and when we do - I hope Neil and Halle double down on not giving in to fan service. This game is incredible, and my only advice is at least give it a chance and play through the game before judging it. Because I loved this game.… Expand

    Still a brilliant game but not quite as strong as the first installment of the series. It makes some bold story choices which I've learned to accept and personally, I found abby's flashbacks added an interesting spin on the ending of the first game. I began questioning who was more deserving of seeking vengeance. I understand though why so many people are angry with ND's story decisions

    The graphics and engine of the game are superb, it improves in every way on ND's older games. While the story might be different than what people expected (and I'm am Ellie fan the whole way, so I didn't take to Abby very well) it was still a compelling story. The game has it's flaws, but they are so few in comparison to how amazing this game is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so.....the ones who gave a rate from 0 to 4 to this game are dumb, seriously.
    It’s incredible how stupid peoples are, saying wrong things about the gameplay and horrible things about the story, a story that completes the first game in all of his aspects.
    Main critics :
    - Terrible characters
    - Terrible gameplay
    - Terrible story
    Ok.....so, you didn’t play the game at all or you played it with a mask on your face.
    The characters are wonderful, every facial expression is full of feelings and with every blow given / taken you can feel the heaviness of the actions and the tenacity with which Ellie, morally destroyed and with only the desire for revenge, makes her way for a story extremely rich in twists and indisputably breathtaking moments. Now, you're all pissed because they killed Joel, you're ridiculous. You can't accept the fact that Joel, as a human with dubious moral choices, died like any other **** person you kill in the game. It is hateful to play with Abby, and rightly so, I do not dispute the fact that some stylistic choices of the character did not make me appreciate her but, morally what she did is right (although she could have killed Joel without torturing him ), just accept it. The plot is poetry, the destruction of a little girl's mind as she makes her way to give space to her revenge, another girl who sees all her friends killed and the desire for revenge that grows in her too .... **** it.
    The gameplay is absolute perfection in a game like this, so many ways to complete a duel and so many ways to die trying it.
    The AI is the best that i’ve seen in a game (you have to turn it on in the game settings, dumb).
    The end of the story is the only thing a bit disappointing, Ellie’s decision to retry another time to kill Abby( losing everything she had, Dina and the possibility to play guitar) is stupid if you look it with your eyes and not with the eyes of a mentally destroyed 19 years old girl during an apocalypse.
    But Ellie had to kill her, and so the game would have the best ending possible.
    This is the only thing i have to say on the story of this colossal game, perfect in every other aspect, in every other character and in almost every developer decision in the plot.

I get why people are angry at the story, but it's not as bad as people are saying it is, yes one of the best characters dies early and in a weird way, but the story is really good. Sure, there maybe some directions that the story takes that aren't exactly what fans of the first game wanted, but the story they try to tell is well executed, love it or hate it. You could have college level discussions about the human experience based on this game alone. Sure, people are butthurt, but this is a fantastic game nonetheless and is hands down one of the best PlayStation exclusives of this generation. And whoever says this story is trash clearly haven't played most games that came out in the last 3-4 years. This is NOT Fallout 4/76, or even Mass Effect Andromeda level of bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es un 10 técnicamente hablando, visualmente es de lo mejor hecho a o largo de la historia, la banda sonara se repite con la calidad que ya sabemos nos ofrece Gustavo y el Gameplay supera al del 1 por mucho, el botón de esquivar añadido le da una intensidad increíble al combate cuerpo a cuerpo. Hablando sobre las quejas relacionadas a la "Diversidad" que hay dentro del juego, cabe mencionar que se ofrecen momentos de todo tipo, sin embargo ni un solo segundo hay algo forzado en la trama, todo lo incluyeron de forma sutil y natural. Con respecto al corazón de The Last of Us, que es su historia, mientras jugaba sentía que se quedaba corta en comparación al 1, pero al terminarlo me di cuenta que no es así, no es tanto la típica historia de venganza, el cliché que algunos sienten, es en completo una historia de perdón y redención. Dejaron atrás la historia de buscar la cura para salvar al mundo. Joel durante el 1 terminó con toda la esperanza y la "Luz" que quedaba, y al mismo tiempo destruyó a Ellie en el proceso al quitarle el motivo de su vida. Joel necesitaba el perdón de Ellie.
    En el juego se muestra a un Joel desgastado, que se ve a leguas esta sufriendo por las decisiones que ha tomado y las cuales sin embargo volvería a tomar. La gente cree que se "despersonalizó" a Joel, por el simple hecho de bajar la guardia, cuando en realidad Joel pierde su personalidad en el 1 en el momento en el que Sarah muere y es cuando conoce a Ellie que empieza a recuperar su personalidad, tanto es así que termina confiando rápidamente en Henry y su hermano, por ejemplo. Aquí ya lleva un par de años viviendo relativamente tranquilo y es Tommy, quien los delata ante los lobos... Lo que hicieron con Joel es algo muy arriesgado y difícil de aceptar, pero al final es un recurso realista y doloroso.
    Ellie necesitaba perdonar la vida de Abby para poder continuar. Muchas veces es muy fácil juzgar las decisiones de las personas estando como espectador, pero como ya es común en los videojuegos, hay que colocarse por completo en los zapatos de Ellie y Abby para comprenderlas. Abby lleva a cabo su deseada venganza, algo que lleva planeando por años, y es lo que primeramente arruina su relación con Owen, sin embargo no conoce el precio de la venganza hasta después de llevarla a cabo, a diferencia de Ellie que esta pagando el precio de la venganza mientras la busca. En esta historia no hubo ganadores, solo personas que lo perdieron todo en distintos momentos por las decisiones que tomaron. El mensaje que me dejo el juego es que, en un mundo donde todo puede terminar tan abrupta y rápidamente como ese, no está permitido guardar resentimientos con los seres queridos. Ellie tiene la oportunidad de haber intentado perdonar a Joel durante 2 años, pero nunca lo hizo hasta un día antes de perderlo, eso es lo que la atormenta, es lo que entiende en el momento final y es por ello que perdona a Abby, para poder seguir con su vida. El juego nos ofrece una lección, una lección aprendida muy a la mala. Me parece excelente...    … Expand

The story is certainly a sad and dark tale, but I loved how it made me question themes like revenge and whether or not it was really all worth it for the characters I was so invested in coming out of the first game.

    I feel like a game is the perfect way to tell a story like this by letting me play as characters from both sides of the story. The setup makes it feel like a traditional tale of revenge with a clear hero and villain, but very quickly makes you question who's really the hero, or if anyone's really the "good guy" at the end of the day.

    Ultimately I ended up rooting for all the characters to somehow figure out a way to win, and I think it's really amazing that the story was able to pull that off.

    The gameplay felt solid; aiming/shooting mechanics seemed improved a bit from the first game, although the looting system (largely the same as the first game) detracted from the story a bit. There were times when the story was conveying a sense of urgency that I needed to be somewhere, but I couldn't help searching every corner of an abandoned building looking for items I might need. I think it resulted in a balanced and fun combat system where I had to think about what weapons I might use in a certain encounter based on what I had, but a part of me wishes I could've focused on the story instead. There's a New Game +, and I'm considering playing through again with all my gear, but on a lower difficulty so I can experience the story without having to worry about looting as much.    … Expand

    The gameplay of part 2 is much more refined and brutal with the added use of more craftable items and the addition of prone and being able to slip into small crevices to narrowly maneuver certain areas in times of battle

    A very slightly disappointing story in comparison to the first due to the forced segment of the second half for a character Naughty Dogs should have expected to be hated by devoted fans of the first.

    As much as they got me to sympathize with this individual and understand their motives I cannot forgive them due to their actions early on in the game however I digress as I see Naughty Dogs message in which revenge can lead to dire consequences not just for yourself but for the individuals around you.

    It isn't the sequel us fans wanted but never the less it is an amazing sequel to the masterpiece the last of us 1 was with the ending making you Feel like the character at the said ending. Empty

    I do however believe there is room to improve upon the overall story with a sequel due to certain knowledge discovered very late in the game and with the aforementioned ending being left very open with many routes to take for a potential part 3

    I was one of the many people spoiled due to the may leaks however Neil Druckman was right in regards to the story not being 100% true to the leaks

    At the end of the day, not everyone will like this game nor every character in the game however all and all the game, in my opinion, is still a must-play for players of the first and is an emotional rollercoaster.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is definitely improved compared to the first one and the story it tells of revenge is done so well. A lot of people leave reviews about the characters feeling undeveloped and terrible but I think they were written very well.

    The only reason I give it a 9 instead of 10 is because of Abby. She seems like a completely different character when playing her in Jackson compared to Seattle and after what she did to Joel I found myself unable to sympathize with her at all. I felt great emotional connection in lots of the story with Ellie because Ellie's character has been developed and you can understand the loss which has driven her to want revenge.
    Ellie is a great character to play as but with Abby I didn't like playing as her and I understand why her parts were in the game and I think the needed to be in the game but I think Abby's sections could've been shortened more to a length comparable to playing as Ellie in the first game. Playing as Abby annoyed me a bit with progression as well because when I was back to playing as Ellie again in Santa Barbara I had pretty much forgotten what kind of upgrades I'd put on weapons and stuff like that because they each are given their own progression trees and weapon upgrades.

    Overall, I loved the story and the way it showed Ellie's quest for vengeance driving her down a dark path. I loved the flashback sequences with Joel, especially the last one which just made me even more distraught with his death. The main objection I have to the game is simply playing as Abby too much. Her story was good and I liked the characters she played with but this game is about Ellie so I think the split between them in gameplay should've been more like an 80/20 or 70/30 rather than 50/50.    … Expand

Naughty Dog took a huge risk and I think it mostly paid off.I would give this game a 10, but it's just not a 10. It does quite a few things wrong where I would put it in an 8.5-9 range. First of all, this game makes a lot of bold decisions, and it's because of these bold decisions why the user rating is so low, HOWEVER, I think some of these decisions were necessary for the game to work. Naughty Dog took a huge risk and I think it mostly paid off. Unlike most people, I grew to love all of the characters and understood why they made the decisions that they did. I hated some characters at first, (some may know who I'm talking about) but put myself in their shoes and asked myself "What would I do?" and I always came to the exact same conclusion. I would do the exact same thing they did.

    The gameplay is the exact same as the first one, so if you liked the first game's gameplay, you'll like this one as it's a bit more enhanced and intense. If the game is too easy (like most reviewers say it is) I advise you turn the difficulty up. There are SO many accessibility options that NO one ever talks about. This game is insane with how much you can customize and look in to the options.

    I don't need to talk about graphics. Stunning. Best graphics I've ever seen on any console, ever.

    But the story. This story will only reach a few many. I can't advise everyone to buy this game, cause there is no 50/50 chance you will love or hate this game. I simply can't say it. Based on the reviews that I've seen here on metacritic. There is a 25% chance you will love this game, and a 75% chance you will hate it. And that's mainly because of the bold decision they take right at the beginning of the game. But if you have the balls to get through that, and not turn off your ps4 or uninstall the game, you will go through the rest of the game and see that it's not all that bad. You'll get the CONTEXT needed and by the 2nd half of the game, if you still don't sympathize with one of the main characters, than there's a good chance you just can't/ won't see what the game is trying to do. That is where I believe Naughty Dog kind of failed, and why I'd give this game an 8.5. That, coupled with the BIG scene at the beginning of the game that should've gone down differently. Luckily for me though, I saw where Naughty Dog was going with this story.

    A lot of people may write this story off as some stupid revenge story, but it's much more than that, it's a revenge plot that does something different that I've seen very little people seem to notice. It's infuriating to me, but if you haven't bought the game yet I suggest you give it a try. Don't listen to the crap reviews.

    Notice how the positive reviews are going up more than the negative reviews each and every day because more and more people are PLAYING through the whole game, and understanding it for what it actually is. That's all I'm going to say.    … Expand

    P.S. A lot of people who rated TLoU 2 less than 5 consider the pros of the game as cons. Joel’s death was so harsh on purpose, and not to “merge the character,” the game for Abby was not to “lengthen the game,” but to show that she also has many reasons to act like she enters etc.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сюжет игры не для всех. Он расчитан на людей с некоторым опытом и мирровозрением. Нас заставляют почувствовать ненависть и злость к врагам, после чего игрок идет к своей цели убежденный в правильности своих порывов. Затем игрока и Элии постепенно подводят к очередным поражениям и заставляют сомневаться в правильности своих действий. Далее в момент шока и недосказанности игрока заставляют взглянуть на ситуацию с другой стороны. Игрок не обязан симпатизировать Эбби но он должен понять ее мотивы и увидеть к чему приводит путь жестокости. Ее жизнь рушиться, у нее остаеться последний человек который ей дорог и нас снова побуждают к мести но Эбби вовремя останавливаеться и видит что после может быть еще хуже. Следом к этой черте невозрата и выводу подводят и игрока. Нам показывают Элли которая осела с Диной на ранчо и они живут вполне спокойной жизнью. Здесь игроком ожидаеться хотя бы какой то скудный хэппи энд но игроку внезапно показывают, что Элли по прежнему не свыклась с утратой и что ее мучает чувство вины и посттравматический синдром. Она снова убежденна в своей правоте а игрок закатывает глаза говоря, что ты только все испортишь, прекрати. Она добираеться до Эбби и на секунду кажеться что Элли отпустит ее видя что враг уже настрадался, но тут снова дает о себе знать расстройство при которых люди действуют импульсивно и необдуманно. Она почти завершает месть но не переходит черту подумав о Джоэле. Она не прощает Эбби. Только игрок возможно проникся если не уважением и симпатией к ней то точно ознакомленн с ее мотивацией. Элли не переходит черту из за того, что наконец отпускает чувство вины и уходит. В конце игрок и Элли ощущают грусть, тоску и пустоту которая усиливаеться пустым домом и очередными разрушенными отношениями из за одержимости человека какой то плохой идеей.
    Так же в игре показанны(максимализированны) типичные недопонимания родителей и детей (Элли зла на Джоела, который ее любит и ею дорожит) проблема как раз этой фанатичности что тоже рушит отношения(Оуен и Эбби, Элли и Дина, Томми и Мари).
    Для меня почему то особенно остро было наблюдать за психологической травмой Элли и ее попытка простить Джоэла как родителя.
    Эта игра плоха только некими мелкими шераховатостями либо тем что этот сюжет не для всех, его нужно почувствовать и понять что он работает так как нужно, он делает тебе больно выжимая и приводя к подобию отвращения, напряжения и отпускания.

    Здесь подойдут поговорки вроде: "имея не ценим-потерявши плачем" либо любимая призсказка всех родителей, которая бесит и меня:вырастишь - поймешь))    … Expand

It's almost as if they just read some spoilers and made up their minds about the game from that.

    If you're looking for a simple narrative and a nice warm feeling at the end that's not what you're going to find here. The game is brutal - both the gameplay and the story. I can see what they were trying to do with the story and while I appreciate the ambition, I don't think it quite achieves what it was trying for. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just doesn't quite hit the mark. Shortly after the second half of the game starts you'll understand what they're trying to achieve with that section - but at that stage you already know how that part ends so it really drags. They could have achieved the same thing in half the time and the game would have been better if they had.

    If you actually play the game through with no spoilers the ending does make sense given what the characters have gone through.

    Technically the game is a masterpiece - graphics, sound etc. are all fantastic. At least everyone can agree on that.

    I can't say that I loved this game like I did the first - it certainly has its flaws. But I did like it a lot and I appreciate it for everything it achieves.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t think this is a game about revenge exactly, I think it’s more about grief and forgiveness.

    I'll start by saying that I am a massive fan of TLOU - I've replayed it about 20 times and the magic in the game comes from Joel and Ellie and the development of their relationship. I didn't “love” the TLOU2. I didn't enjoy it. I can appreciate the technical marvel, the game play (especially the combat) and the cinematography. I can even appreciate or accept the story that is being told.

    But I feel robbed. And this is exactly how Ellie feels. And you feel that you been robbed of Joel, or the game you thought you would be playing, the game you waited seven years for. It's that visceral.

    For Ellie, she knows that Joel loves her. She knows that she loves Joel. Anyone with a less than perfect relationship with a parent can understand the tension and the conflict. After TLOU, Ellie spends two years not being able to be entirely okay around Joel. She suspects that he's lied about something, but she doesn't know for sure. For two years, Joel watches his decision erode at the most important relationship he has in his life. Then Ellie finds out and it's destroyed. We don't see much, but I imagine that Ellie is distant and cold with him. Two years of their relationship imploding. You see Ellie depressed and stand-offish. When you see Joel his eyes are dejected, his shoulders slouch, resigned.

    And then we have the conversation after the barn dance and there's hope that Ellie can forgive Joel and they can try rebuild what they used to have. When Ellie and Dina go on patrol the next day, Ellie says that she and Joel might watch a movie together. She has hope, she wants to try.

    Then Joel dies. And Ellie is robbed. This is not just the death of a "parent", this is the death of a "parent" she spent four years directing her anger and despondence at. I'm not at all saying that Joel was not complicit in the bed he made for himself but I, like him, would have made the same choice again. A choice that saw Ellie date, watch movies, fall in love, wonder if she needed to shower or change her clothes. She knows that Joel's choice gave her that but she can't stop resenting him for robbing her of her agency. Until she decides that it's time that she needs to.

    They never get to rebuild that relationship. I think part of why Ellie goes deux ex machina on her revenge mission is because of rage, not at Joel dying or at Abby, but her rage at herself. Her grief makes her incapable of processing any introspection so she directs it at the only thing she can - ostensibly revenge and at killing Abby.

    The grief that you can personally experience is unknowable to another person, but TLOU2 makes us live through that grief by being Ellie. And we are angry, we feel robbed. And we direct that grief at Abby, because Abby is a straw man for everything that did happen and everything that doesn't get to happen. But Abby isn't a straw man, she's a person trying to survive and cope with her grief just like everyone else in TLOU universe.

    I think Ellie reacts in the violent way she does because she can't forgive herself. And that's the forgiveness I think TLOU2 centres on - not forgiving Joel or forgiving Abby. She can't forgive herself for those four years that were wasted and that she and Joel will never have. And she can't move on until she does. In the final scene in Santa Barbara when she is sitting stooped in the water, she is defeated and a shell of who she was. That's what hating herself has led to. But she sees Joel and she knows it has to end. She has to accept that this is what has happened. It's never been about Abby, and she sees Abby and Lev and sees her and Joel and that for her to move on, she needs to forgive herself. It's regret and guilt that drives her, and destroys her. Not hate for Abby.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - "Huge spoilers alert"

    Where to begin... first of all, this is not the game everyone has been waiting for. At the end of The Last of Us, I was waiting for Ellie & Joel's journey to continue in Part II. I was hyped to discover what will happen to them in this game, and take part to their journey once again... that was my big mistake. Although I watched every gameplay trailer for Part II, I could never imagine the real story behind all of this. The only reason I don't put it a strong 10/10, is mainly my mistake, because I was hoping to play the game out of my imagination, while I should've let my imagination, and play the game Naughty Dog wanted me to play... Yes Joel died, yes you're obligated to play as Abby for way more time that you'd like to, but if you've never played The Last of Us, you'd feel ok with that, because you've never experienced the strong link between Joel & Ellie, and you wouldn't feel the pain that Ellie felt when Joel was killed directly in front of her... yes, I'm kind of trying to say that this game isn't made for those who've played the first part. What I'm also trying to say, is that all the critiques towards this game are caused by the fact that players got disappointed by the story, not because it is bad, but because it isn't what they'd like it to be.

    This game is a masterpiece. Once again, Naughty Dog proved their capability to approach the scenario like no other studio is capable of. The graphical design is stunning, I could never feel myself as emerged in a video game, as when I've played The Last of Us Part II (maybe except the first part, obviously).

    The first disappointment came, when I started to understand that it's been too long that I'm playing as Abby. I felt more & more angry, since I wanted to end this as soon as possible to play as Ellie again. This moment could've almost ruin my whole gameplay experience. I didn't even care about looting, I just wanted to finish... when came the day 3 at seattle, playing as Abby, once entering the aquarium and finding all her friends killed by Ellie, I finally understood why Naughty Dog did this. They wanted us to feel both sides of the story. When you kill them playing as Ellie, you only see them as enemies, not knowing what they've been through. But, once you end the journey of Abby, and realise what really happened, that's where things change. What really got me mad, is when I had to fight Ellie, beating her almost till death, while playing... as Abby.

    I had the same confused feelings for the rest of my gameplay. I didn't know on which side I was, but I was curious to see how it would end up. In the final fight between Ellie & Abby, I suddenly felt bad for Abby, because I started to understand that she doesn't deserve this... or I could simply feel her pain, since I've been on her side during my gameplay. At the end, It got me kind of happy that they didn't kill each other. Although, Ellie lost two of her fingers... now she can't play guitar normally... maybe one of the most memorable things she had from Joel... those were the consequences to the violence that Ellie brought...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game for a mature and high-minded audience, a game difficult to interpret, my rating will be justified.

    Gameplay 10/10: Outstanding, ND does not fail in this installment, adding new systems in puzzles, dodge in combat, new melee weapons, camouflage in the environment, dogs as enemies, access new places breaking windows, among other things, I honestly do not understand the people who say that the gameplay is the same as it was 7 years ago, apart from what was mentioned I don't know what else could be added.
    Extreme violence in gameplay with amazing details.

    Graphics 10/10: The maximum that a PS4 can deliver, beautiful landscapes and very subtle cinematic/gameplay transitions that are hardly noticeable, impeccable.

    Music/Sound 9/10: I do not put a 10 because it is not as incredible as in the first installment, it also makes you feel many emotions, Gustavo Santaolalla shines again with each of his notes, impressive work. Excellent gameplay sound, rain, wind, footsteps, weapons, all with detailed and accurate sounds.

    Spoilers

    Story 6/10: This is where the game disappoints due to the high stick left by part 1, the fact that Joel dies is very shocking, both for Ellie and for the player, throughout the first half of the game you You feel the anger for avenging Joel himself, that finally if you understand the story it dissipates a bit. ND makes us see that in this game there are no heroes or villains, they are all people who make mistakes, they all have their reasons for everything they do, on the one hand Ellie is thirsty for revenge for the death of Joel who is like her father, and on the other hand Abby killed Joel for the anger generated by the fact that he killed his father, TLOU 2 stresses the cliché that revenge is not good and only brings chaos in its path, Ellie lost everything by revenge, but in the end she understood that even though killing Abby Joel would not return, that's why she forgives her, to end the cycle of hatred and deaths, Ellie realizes how important it is to forgive, she did not do it in time with Joel and it is what more It hurts (last flashback), many people do not understand and are blinded by the fact that Abby has to die. It is a very sad video game that shows the dark reality. My main criticism is all the time that they force you to play with Abby, too many hours, and worst of all, face Ellie in the theater, parts that NO ONE wants to play and you just let yourself die haha.

    In short, a deep game that leaves no one indifferent, I will not refer to criticism of Ellie's sexuality or if Abby is trans? wtf.

    Very good game, in which you don't have to wait for a happy ending.

    The biggest strength of the game is it's story.
    If you like what's happening or not is personal preference. But you can't say that the story is disappointing or trash. Because that's not the case. And that is an objective meaning.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story:
    This game makes you feel a lot. You get all the emotions. Happy, sad, joyful, depressed. Everything's planned. A lot of the reviews were made negative within the first two days of the game’s launch. On day 2 of playing the game, I was at the character switch, as I suppose many others were. And just like the many others, I was mad. This is where many decided to quit the game, and write their hate review. However, I kept playing. At the end of the game, I understood what the developers wanted. I understood AND FELT the ending because I put my bias towards the main characters aside. Once you do that, the story’s flawless. It’s very easy to follow along as long as you stick through with it. For example, a lot of people get confused at the start of the game. However, if you play past the confusing part, the pieces all start to fit together. Gameplay:
    It’s simply perfect. They didn’t change much, but what they did change added only more depth from the first and made it a lot more smooth. There’s also a lot more ammo and material to be found around the world, even on the higher difficulties. Why I rated the game a 9 and not a 10:
    Simply from lack of content. At the moment we have a new game plus mode, but unlike the original, there’s no character skins or game filters. I was expecting a lot more skins, even branching out to weapon skins. Maybe the devs will add this later, but I’m rating what the game launched with. Overall:
    Amazing experience, truly emotional. While the ending did not make me happy, it wasn’t suppose to. The last time I felt this way about a game, was when in MGS3, you find out Big Boss was doing everything for her country, and that no one would know her sacrifice except for you and a few select others. Just because a game doesn’t have sunshine and rainbows at the end, doesn’t make it any less of a terrific game. Side Note (spoilers):
    The Last of Us 1 had a sad ending. Joel shoots up an entire hospital and you can tell at the end that there is a tear in the relationship between Joel and Ellie. The Last of Us 2 has a sad ending as well, although this one is more blatant and extreme. So to everyone complaining that the game is too emotional, yet enjoyed the first game, were you just ignoring the ending of the first one, or too oblivious to see it? No one in this game’s universe is a good protagonist. Joel is a flawed hero. We only see his side of the story when he’s with Ellie. They mention countless times of how he had a bad past, from small conversations with Ellie, to arguments with Tommy and Vic, also the scene when they get off the highway and he knows about the ambush. The only difference is that at the end of The Last of Us 2, we have a strong bias towards Joel, which makes us hate the other character. Had the game been flipped around, and we’d follow the other character besides Joel and Ellie, we’d grow to hate them as well.    … Expand

And it’s a deeply well-told story to the point where I genuinely cannot fathom why anyone who has fully beaten the game, not just heard the spoilers, not just watched a streamer snark their way through it or watched ripped YouTubeIt's not the game a lot of fans obviously wanted (look at the review bombing) but to quote Forbe's review of the game, ".. it’s stunning. It’s important. And it’s a deeply well-told story to the point where I genuinely cannot fathom why anyone who has fully beaten the game, not just heard the spoilers, not just watched a streamer snark their way through it or watched ripped YouTube cutscenes, doesn’t appreciate what it has achieved here." I may not have agreed or liked every story direction, it challenged and enraged me which made it all that more poignant. The game is a technical and cinematic masterclass, and it was an absolutely exhaustive, fulfilling journey. It's definitely a worthy sequel.… Expand

    My first playthrough of The Last of Us Part 2 left me truly upset and empty. I thought that the story was poorly written because of events that deeply ruined what I loved about the first game. On my second playthrough, I realized that my initial judgment for the game was clouded because I was so attached to the characters that I had the expectation of how the game should go.

I thought that the story was poorly written because of events that deeply ruined what I loved about the first game. On my second playthrough, I realized that my initial judgment for the game was clouded because I was so attached to the characters that I had the expectation of how the game should go. I was wrong, and I now appreciate how creative and bold the story is. Naughty Dog introduced this bold narrative that left me at awe of the events unfolding. It's a unique direction of narrative that will fill you up with emotions that no other game achieved.… Expand

    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]
