    It might not be the game you want, but it's the game you got is the perfect way to sum up the last of us 2. Expectedly the game isn't perfect by any means; but it's a quintessential journey which should be experienced by everyone who loves the first game.

    TLDR AT THE BOTTOM OF REVIEW The linear environments which set the scene of the first game are hugely expanded upon in this game;    It might not be the game you want, but it's the game you got is the perfect way to sum up the last of us 2. Expectedly the game isn't perfect by any means; but it's a quintessential journey which should be experienced by everyone who loves the first game.

    TLDR AT THE BOTTOM OF REVIEW

    The linear environments which set the scene of the first game are hugely expanded upon in this game; weather it's exploring a quite suburb of seattle or being forced into a claustrophobic, dark and frightening underground system, there's no injustices served in terms of the environments crated and their atmospheres. Beautiful juxtapositions are seen in every single environment always reminding you that no matter how dark this world is there's always what seems to be room for hope to come from the most unexpected places. Schools, hospitals and apartments where nature has taken over are opposed by the small glimpses of hope from humans trying to get back to a somewhat new normal way of life surviving; notes, dwellings, camps, and societies show that there will always be something to fight for even if to some it could be moral wrong, as the world is not black and white but a grity, dirty shade of gray. It's just as much fun surviving in this game as it was the last. Crafting bombs, laying traps and thinking about your next move is just as much fun as it is tense and frightening. There's always room for error and it's brutal when it goes wrong, as you'll have to do everything to get back on the proper foot. This is where the gameplay shines the most for me as the new features such as hiding in grass, new bad guys and factions will keep you on your toes.

    Although some of the characters can fall short in this story of being amazing, they're still none the less solid. Fortunately none of them feel as if they were placed in the game to push an agenda or political view as you might have heard people complaining about. Weather you love or hate the characters there's no denying that they have real emotion and depth behind them and their relationships feel organic and true to themselves.

    Lastly for the positives, the accessibility in this game is what every single developer should stride towards. Weather you hate or love the game, there are so many ways to customise how you play your game. It's never been easier for someone which unfortunately may have never been able to pick up a game and play without difficulties, to actually just play a game and enjoy it with what I hope is little difficulty.

    Sadly the story is very hit or miss, however it should be stated that this game was never meant to satisfy everyone as its meant to decisive and it's certainly done this. For every high point in the story comes a low point and it can sometimes fail to hit the mark by a lot. Although the characters themselves are amazingly thought out and acted, there are some motives which I agree with the majority of players don't make sense. It's not to say the story is bad, but it's extremely convoluted.

    Much like the story the pacing is extremely slow and detrimental to the point where I had to take a break for a few days just to be in the mood to go back to it. The fact that it darts around time wise and tells the story step by step is draining. They almost treat the player like a child sadly which is almost insulting, as there are plenty of times in the story where can assume what happened through dialogue etc... But instead they insisted we play it. I agree that this was probably a good call as by the end of the game you can really put yourself into the main characters shoes as they themselves are drained, but there is a LOT of unnecessary filler. Together they unfortunately bring down what could have been an immersive and fun story. It's not to say the story is bad, it's the structure of the story. It's fun piecing things together but for a game which relies heavily on human emotions and the cost of life it seems to just skip over these themes like it's nothing and go straight to revenge, which is the main theme of the story but without the foundation for revenge or a motivation and understanding, it can fall flat. TLDR SECTION:

    Pros:
    Gameplay
    Graphics Environment Sound design Characters
    ACCESSIBILITY

    Cons:
    Convoluted story
    Slow pacing

    The last of us part 2 is an almost polished masterpiece in most ways, however it falls flat at some memorable points as well as by some of the themes it conveys. As I said before it is a quintessential must play for a fan of the first game as it builds on the world extremely well overall, however you HAVE to go into this game with an open mind, accepting it might not be what you want but it's going to be one hell of a journey. Lastly if you unfortunately find it hard to play games due any kind of disability I'd recommend picking this game up eventually, it's a solid experience and has a huge array of accessibility features for a range of people.    … Expand

    As with the first game, the storytelling is amazing - the acting, mocap, script are all movie quality. The actual story itself is clearly pretty controversial, and I do think they could've told a similar story but with a better arc that would do more justice to the original game and characters. I think they could redeem it with a 3rd game - I'd be pretty disappointed if they left it likeAs with the first game, the storytelling is amazing - the acting, mocap, script are all movie quality.

    Graphics and gameplay are incredible, as is always the case with ND. I highly recommend playing on survivor difficulty - it added about 20 hours to the average game time for me. It's not frustratingly difficult which is good - instead it makes every encounter feel like a puzzle, and the world becomes even more brutal and immersive, where you really appreciate every resource that you come across.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its a game good in technical aspects, so I will just take on history aspects: Its a deep story, it's not about revenge, revenge is the plot which is used to create the story, which is all about the characters, their moralities and the consequences of these conflicting, about growth, about loss, about tragedy It shows us a villain murdering in cold blood our favorite character, and it makes us hate Abby, and sets us players on the same revenge quest as Ellie. Everything flows like a normal story and then it comes to a moment where they put into Abby's shoes, almost everyone hated being put in that place, but after a few hours, many players, myself including, stop hating Abby that much and see how she is an actual person with a good heart and how she suffered, and how everything that happened to her, the death of the fireflies and her death lead a good person to commit horrific actions, like killing Joe, which she, later on, realizes that it didn't bring any pleasure, it didn't fulfill the emptiness that she was left with after her Dads death, who in the end was just tryna save the world. her vengeance only brought tragedy and pain, her friends died bc of it, and she goes after Ellie, tries to kill her but stops when she had the chance, bc she knew nothing good would become out of it, this was only possible bc Abby was no longer the ruined and devastated monster we saw, she went back to being a good person bc of two kids who saved her life with who she felt compassion and created a bond, willing to abandon everything she had for them "you are my people" she said to Lev, she abandoned the wolves, I cause she was fighting for even though not believing in them truly. She simply needed something to fight for. All her friends were killed, her love, her pregnant friend, for the "daughter"/friend of the guy she killed for killing her father, she had the chance to finish Ellie Dina and Tommy and she was gonna do it bc of all the rage she had within her, but Lev suddenly stops and then the good person in her kicks in her, she realizes that that would never change things and she goes away, now that's character growth Abby is Like Joel, a good person doing horrible things because of a tragedy in the past, and a kid changes her for the better again... Abby's revenge quest is also similar to Ellie's, with the difference that Abby, lost way more than Ellie they are all good people doing or that did horrible stuff The game doesn't want to forcibly like Abby but to at least understand that she is also human and that there's no right or wrong in this situation Then Ellie years after is presented with the opportunity of getting her revenge, and she doesn't get herself to do it because she realized what Abbie realized way sooner than her, and that's why Abby didn't want to fight either... Ellie loses everything and is devastated, all she went through was not worth it even by killing Abby, she lost friends, her life with Dina, she did horrible feelings she regretted it, all in the desperation of trying to fulfill the emptiness and the trauma she was not able to live with. and we, in the end, find out that Ellie didn't simply want revenge for joe, she had finally given the chance to Joe, for them to rebuild their relation, and she lost it right in front of her eyes. It's a sad story with no conclusive ending, it's supposed to leave u thinking and as devastated as Ellie, its powerfully emotional, and tries to get out of all types of clichés by trying to focus the story on different aspects like morality, humanity, emotions, characters, their growth, consequences of the conflict between those characters and much more, it's not about a clear objective, it's about these things

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the first game almost once every year, and i liked the the second one even more.
    The story of the second one is written in a lot less accessible way to most people.

    You have to read between the lines and make your own conclusions by connecting the dots by using common knowledge and being aware to how realistic characters would react to many different types of hardships, whereas with the first game it was a more direct and literal narrative approach.

    In the first game anything that the characters thought and/or felt was easily noticeable and was layed out right in front of you.
    There's nothing wrong with that kind of story telling at all. But it is much more of a challenge, both for the writers and the players, to have a story told in a more complex and nuanced manner when it comes to the development of the characters.

    Unfortunately most people weren't able to accept that a story that didn't turn out to be the one THEY wanted it to be, could still be just as good of a story at the end. And the ones who were able to accept it and still didn't like it probably do actually have valid reasons for it. Unfortunately those people are rare and their legitimate criticisms have been lost in a sea of ignorance due to the fact that the majority blindly closed themselves off from giving the game any chance whatsoever months before the game was even released.
    All the people i've heard saying they hated the game also had the game spoiled for them through leaks.

    Very unfortunate if you ask me since i firmly believe they've robbed themselves of an experience that could've possibly been a much better one than with the first game.

    Because it sure as hell was for me.

    Did joel deserve better?
    Yes and no
    For us as the player he surely did because of the connection we had with him from the first game.
    In the grand scheme of things, he got what he deserved if you look at it from any other perspective outside of our own.

    And to the people who say that joel did deserve a more respectful way to die in an absolute literal sense.
    I want you to consider this.
    If joel had died in an act of heroism as most people wish he would have, would you have gotten as angry as you did now?
    No you wouldn't.
    Abby didn't just kill joel, he put him down as if he was a rabid dog.
    And it truly sucked...and it made us absolutely furious with abby.
    But that's the point. The player's hatred is what fuels our motivation to avenge him. That is good story telling. Period. But this doesn't mean this was a story about revenge. Because it absolutely was not. More on that later. And the people who say that joel introducing himself to strangers is uncharacteristic of him, maybe you should pay a little more attention to the actual dialog. It wasn't joel who initially introduced himself to abby's group. It was tommy. And no i'm not talking about the scene where he got shot in the leg. Before that when abby, joel and tommy were escaping from the horde, right before they got onto the horses, tommy introduced himself and joel to abby by name. Not joel. This was done in an effort to calm abby down as she was visibly distressed which was a liability. After finding out who tommy and joel were, abby lured them to her groups hideout. Now, as for people calling this a revenge story and saying that there's no real dilemma present in the narrative, think again.
    There might not be a moral dilemma present like in the first game, but there is an emotional one.
    And is drives the entire narrative of the game.
    Some might think that this emotional dilemma is ellie's thirst for vengeance, but that's not the one.
    I'm talking about the dilemma of forgiving an atrocious act committed by someone.
    And yet again, if you're thinking i'm referring to ellie forgiving abby, you'd be wrong once more.
    Because ellie never forgave abby, even at the end.
    No, instead she forgave joel.
    Which she wasn't able to do before the very ending of the game.
    This is why we get to see the last conversation ellie and joel had where ellie stated that she didn't know if she would ever be able to forgive joel, but she would like to try.
    Now because of this ellie also carries an immense amount of guilt with her since the last thing she told joel was that she didn't know if she could ever forgive him. This guilt fuels her inability to forgive joel, which in turn fuels her guilt, and so on and so on...
    The tragedy of this all is the fact ellie didnt see what we saw when during her last conversation with joel. Because after she left, joel was visably relieved. That's the tragedy.
    Joel was contempt with the way things were, while ellie feels guilt because she think she let joel die thinking that she hated him.

    People say the writing is lazy? I say everyone else is too lazy to attempt to actually understand the writing. And for what reason?
    Because their favorite character was killed off. Nothing more nothing less.    … Expand

The first half of the game is okay, but the second half is stupid, I won't spoil but they force us to play like 10 hours as a character that no one gives a **** about and I would say that's the worse part of the story. Now if you completly ignore the storyline and just focus on the gameplay, the game is really good on that point, its like the first game but 5 times better and the amazing amount of little details shows how much love has been put on this game. I just wish the storyline would not be garbage. Hey but who knows? Maybe Naughty Dog can still redeem themselves with a dlc? Or even a better version of factions multiplayer from the first game...

    Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention how naughty dog lied to us in the trailers, if you expect the game to be like we see it in the trailers then you will be disappointed... Just know that Joel is not gonna have as a important role in the game as they made us think in the trailers.

    I have thought a long time before writing. It is a very hard time for The Last of Us lovers. I consider it a really badly-made game and I'm going to try to show it to you in here, without any spoilers.

    - Story: the story goes around in circles and not in a way that makes you exclaim "Wow! So bright!" but in a very dull way, which makes the player suffer. Some did like that, but I sure    I have thought a long time before writing. It is a very hard time for The Last of Us lovers. I consider it a really badly-made game and I'm going to try to show it to you in here, without any spoilers.

    - Story: the story goes around in circles and not in a way that makes you exclaim "Wow! So bright!" but in a very dull way, which makes the player suffer. Some did like that, but I sure didn't, I like my games clear and not foggy about their intentions and also my characters. Indecisiveness of characters in this game is really weird and forced, I really don't know how they could make such a rookie mistake. The story is one of the most important elements for this game so this is what makes everything drop to such a low score.

    - Characters: 4 years are a long time, but Ellie is somewhat unrecognizable in her main features. One could say she's been disfigured by the thirst for revenge, but sincerely, I don't buy that. Mainly poor writing on that side and an especially vicious one. Let me tell you why: they want to make you question her every move and somehow hate her for the rampage she goes into. Still, maybe it could be done, but not this way. They're just trying to stuff our throats with pre-fabricated things, without justifying them a bit more.

    - Gameplay: fun. But it's too long. Really, I never thought I'd say this, but it drags so much and without piling up the drama with story (which, as I said, is pretty dull) that I found myself hoping it ended several times before the end. It is really sad to say this. Really, really sad.

    - Level building: all the 10s around say it's genius, but sorry, no, it's not. I admit I liked the Seattle part, a weirdly structured open world HUB at the start of the game. But um... why was this the only one? Druckmann said it had to be open world, and well I actually see that. Just looks like a weird hybrid, but you're on rails most of the time. Why is this being called genius? I really can't understand. I like the new additions of tall grass and small openings and the fluidity of all the action and moving around, that's sexy. Still, not even close to genius level building, p-lease.

    In conclusion: the game could have been great. If not a 10 (like The Last of Us could look now, compared to this) at least a good solid 9. That's probably what all of us gamers asked for, but got this indecisive, weird story where they forced us to empathise with the new character and try to make us hate the shell of an old beloved character. The idea ain't bad, but it's INSINCERE execution lacks honesty, truthfulness and mere story-telling ability.    … Expand

Sorry this is bad writing. The Idea of showing 2 Sides of the Medal and showing that both have blood on their hands is great too but it has too many Plot armor moments to make sure the hole hate theme has to end with both protagonists fighting each other in a final battle. The hole game tries to hit your emotion button...if it hits great but for a huge amount of us it doesnt....bad. This hole emotion/Moral thing doesn't work for me at all even from the beginning. There is no reason for me to belief that Elli would have survived the killing scene of Joel. This hole Game remainders me of The Movie American History X but in bad. And last: We might disagree with out opinions but there are no reasons in this world to get so aggressive to sent people death wishes.    … Expand

    Big disappointment. This game seems uninterested in discovering what made the first game great. Instead it's all about social justice and leftist politics. Regardless of your personal politics, you would think a game about zombies wouldn't have politics at it's core, but it does.

    The game is also filled with hand-holding and a general sense of disregard and disrespect for the player.    Big disappointment.

This game improved on every game mechanic in the first game (combat, weapon upgrades, environmental puzzles) and included some amazing additions (guitar playing, rope physics). I understand that the story is divisive, but it completely worked for me. I felt all the rage and guilt Ellie was as she made her way through Seattle, and being forced to reflect on those decisions in the latter parts of the game was extremely impactful, with such a cathartic finale that I will be thinking about this game for a long time to come. Though the story was heavy, the the moments of levity shone all the more brightly, and I have already started replaying the game, which is just as rewarding the second time through!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No quesito técnico o jogo é perfeito: Gráficos impressionantes e foto realistas, melhores expressões faciais que eu já vi, gameplay flúida e sem bugs, apenas o primeiro loading que demora 1 minuto mas depois disso não tem mais, uma ambientação impecável que se você analisar bem uma casa por exemplo da pra ver que as pessoas que ficavam lá tinham uma rotina, uma ótima inteligência artificial que realmente faz os inimigos parecerem humanos pois eles gritam os nomes de um quando ele morre que faz parecer por exemplo que eles estavam juntos faz tempo e realmente se conheciam o único problema é que as vezes você vê o mesmo modelo de inimigo varias vezes, zerei o jogo em 35 horas pois explorei o máximo que eu pode e eu recomendo que você também faça o mesmo pois é muito recompensador não só com recursos mas também com cartas e bilhetes de sobreviventes que são muito legais de ler sem contar com os mais de 200 colecionáveis, cofres, bancadas de melhoria, remédios para melhorar e conseguir habilidades novas como matar mais rápido no furtivo, produzir mais flechas de uma vez e etc, algumas armas escondidas e conversas e cutscenes secundárias entre os personagens que são muito boas como quando Ellie toca take on me no violão para Dina que é muito lindo e memorável, o jogo tem uma dublagem perfeita mas eu recomendo que você ligue a legenda pois as vezes se você estiver muito longe de um companheiro você não vai ouvir bem mas com legenda você pode entender melhor a conversa e por fim o jogo é muito acessível para quem tem alguma Deficiência física pois tem muitas opções de acessibilidade e todos os botões são personalizáveis. Quanto a história é obrigatório ter jogado o primeiro jogo pois é uma continuação direta e se você não jogar o primeiro jogo vai terminar por ficar perdido em muitos momentos, a história é ótima e consegue mostrar os 2 lados da história e ainda nos empatisa com a abby que matou o joel e nos faz entender o seu lado mostrando que todo vilão é o herói de sua própria história, todos os personagens são bem feitos e cativantes, o amor da Ellie e Dina é muito bem fe ito sem forçação de barra e sem lacração, tudo é muito natural e cinematográfico mas mesmo assim tem muita gameplay, talvez o único problema seja algumas decisões dos personagens e a morte precoce de um personagem na primeira hora de jogo mas mesmo assim a história é boa e o final mesmo que muitos não tenham gostado é muito bom, triste e humano mostrando como a nossa mente é complexa pois não é explícito porque a Ellie poupou a Abby no final mas eu acho que foi porque ela não queria fazer a mesma coisa que a Abby fez com ela pro Lev. Resumindo na minha opinião vale muito a pena para todos os jogadores do primeiro jogo e é perfeito em todos os aspectos 1010 só senti falta de um modo multiplayer ou qualquer modo secundário sem ser da história .… Expand

    По поводу всяких повесток - их настолько мало, что вы их можете и не заметить, это слишком субьективно, но даже если вы ярый противник sjw, то играть сможете не морщив морду по кд.
    По поводу перекаченности одной из героинь - этому есть логичное и понятное объяснение.
    Некоторые говорят, что геймплей скучный и он остался прежним - это не так. В своей основе этот тот же шутер от третьего лица с упором на стелс. Меж тем есть и приятные нововведения, вроде прыжка и уклонений в бою. Но сама по себе механика не раскрылась бы без:
    - Дико агрессивных врагов (на максимальном уровне сложности, но об этом позже). Они просто не дают продыху - постоянно наступают, обходят с флангов, закидывают молотовыми, не выстраиваются в очередь, чтобы начать вас бить, а просто стреляют на поражение (и очень даже метко). Бои стали гораздо брутальнее не только из-за повышенной детализации насилия, но и тех условий в которые ставят игрока - постоянный прессинг со стороны превосходящих групп противника, которые не дают сидеть на месте и вынуждают использовать весь доступный арсенал.
    - Обновленных локаций, прибавивших в вертикальности и обьеме. Локации стали огромными, а конкретно арены, стали гораздо больше и вертикальнее, из-за чего столкновения с противниками заиграли новыми красками, чего не было в первой части.
    Некоторые люди не заметят всей брутальности и крутости боевки из-за сложности. Дело в том, что все, что я описал выше можно испытать только проставив максимальный уровень сложности. Ибо на нем противники перестают долбиться в глаза, перестают сидеть за укрытиями в ожидании пули и начинают действительно давить на героя, припасов становится действительно мало и столкновения превращаются в головоломки. Но, если вы не сторонник максимальных сложностей, либо вам неудобно стрелять с геймпада (да еще и в 30 фпс) как мне, то можно настроить конкретные аспекты сложности (и это очень круто). Отдельно настраивается глазастость противников, их агрессивность, количество получаемых припасов, агрессивность напарников (как часто они убивают врагов), насколько хрупок игрок. Рекомендую ставить максимальную агрессию противников и поставить побольше припасов, чтобы сделать чуть-чуть больше экшона.    … Expand

    Best game this year so far. Absolutelly loved it. Great visual and gameplay, found no bugs during two playthrough (first was 30 hours), which is rare now. About story.. It was different from first one, darker, sad, but still good and interesting. One thing can be seen different from other perspective. Great job Naughty Dog.

    With such a divisive love it or hate it story, there is no doubt Naughty Dog has once again set the bar in technical aspects of video game making. The amount of work and dedication put in with each frame and each individual pixel is astounding (albeit amidst reports of developer crunch) and continues to solidify Naughty Dog as one of the industry's best.

    Overall, I had such a hard time forcing myself to finish it. I will never ever play it again (while I finished the first one in two digit numbers). And will never buy a game that Neil Druckman has been involved with.

    Can not believe how much money I wasted on this POS.

    As a standalone game I'd say its deserving of a 6. However, in comparison to part 1's story that actually had significant characters that made you care about what happened to them and this game which seemed force plot lines down your throat and bring in secondary characters then kill them off before you even cared about remembering their names is disappointing.

I loved the Last of Us Pt.1, and consider it my favorite story game of all time but this game deserves most of the criticism it gets. After 7 years and the gameplay is still exactly the same as before, it absolutely should be judged on it's story narrative, and this game misses the mark completely.… Expand

    The slightly longer version: This game is AMAZING. No story, especially in video games, has made me cry, think, and reflect like this one has, not even the first game! It is not an easy story to swallow, as it’s heavy-handed, brutal, and complex. But once you start connecting the dots, it becomes one of the best stories in any medium ever! The feeling of “connecting the dots” reminds me of Shutter Island starring Leo DiCaprio. The first time around, it’s kinda confusing until the big twist comes. But if you decide to go for a second watch, everything starts to mean something more, and you see all the inter-woven stories a lot better.

    And with such a high quality game, why wouldn’t you want to play it again (besides the emotional trauma and sadness it’ll probably give you)? It’s outstanding in every way. Story and Characters? Excruciatingly Amazing and Human. Extremely immersive. Will probably leave you sad, hollow and empty by the end.

    Gameplay? A smoother, more refined and expanded version of the OG TLOU’s formula. You can be a lot more creative with this one. Melee Combat and Gunplay feel and play amazing and Stealth gives off MGSV vibes.

    Technical stuff and Presentation? Top. **** Notch. The graphics are straight out of a PS5, save for the 30fps. The level design? The closest to perfection so far. Acting and animations both in-game and cutscene? The best we’ve had, bar NONE. World Building thru collectibles, dialogue and the subtle details in the environment? On par with, or maybe even better than, RDR2. Polish? Very few glitches and no game-breaking ones.

    My personal Game of the Year and Generation, and arguably my favorite game of all time, in contention with Part 1 and MGS3.    … 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]
