    Gameplay was ok. Story felt like someone was dropping a load over my face. Distateful.
    Made me lose any interest near the beginning, which is rare.

    This game is a masterpiece. I am a movie-enthusiast but no movie can make me care and feel like the last of us part II did. The nuance in the performances, the grounded reality in an unreal world.
    I just don't have the words to describe how f*cking amazing it is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game doesn't care about your political views and personal bias. It is a game that is good in storytelling and great in making you question the empathy you have with a character and forces you to see the other side and that is what makes this great is the challenge to the human emotion and challenging our human nature to try and sympathize with the person who has seemed to be wrong in the actions of the beloved character.… Expand

    Personally, find it even better than the previous.. too bad people share misinformation. This is the best game ever. Contains every possible thing you seek in a fps and rpg. Masterpiece. Played the first part 5times, can’t get enough. And now this.. world’s top.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have got to be kidding. This game is a freaking masterpiece. There is not a criticism such as like "why the hell you guys killed joel." This is childhish as **** Joel is not a super hero, and he is not innocent as you think he is. There are no rights and wrongs, everybody does their own **** moves in their lifes. This is real conflict. This is real dramaturgy. Gameplay, grapchis, audio design, story and everything about this is freaking amazing and mindblowing. Neil and his team Naughty Dog brought something realy special thing that you guys may understand its value after a long time, maybe in ten or twenty years. Life is not perfect, and human being is not at all too. I'm not writing with too much attention but all i can say is again and again, this game is a freaking piece of art. It is pretty clear that "gamers" are not capable of understand a "story" and how to "read it." "Disrespectful to the Joel." What da **** that supposed to mean? Disrespect? Jesus ****ing christ, Joel tortured and killed lots of people through his life. He did these ****s too. Again, human being is not perfect. Nobody is a superhero. If TLOU Part 1 was about Abby and his journey, and at the end of the game some guy Joel came and killed her dad, you would beg for the Part II, at get the revenge of your dad as Abby. All aside, i don't think that Abby is a well written character as Joel and Ellie. As an "audience", i still love Joey and Ellie more than Abby. But this is what game want to tell you. Nobody is perfect. If Neil would just cut down the ****s about his sjw bull****s, (Which even they are is not stand out as people say, the elements like homosexuality, different ethnic origins etc. are nicely fed to the story, these elements are not unorganic and feels like a propaganda. Nevermind, not even a major point.) he would make lots of amazing games with his team. I don't think we need a Part III for The Last of Us since it completes itself with a very, but very good ending, i would like the see "the end of everything." I really wonder Ellie's end, not too much Abby's though but i would like to see hers too. Wonder what Ellie gonna do with is life, since it's compeletly broken and scattered.… Expand

The game itself is a 7/10, but I'll take it all away just because of the false advertising tricking fans into believing that Joel will have a major role in the game. And no, I'm not leaving a negative reviews just because Joel is killed. Many of us already saw it coming since pt. 1. It's the false advertising. Also, the story is meh. This games doesn't even have half the replay value as tlou1. Overall, this game is only good for a one-time playthrough. Now it's just collecting dust in my library.… Expand

The way they connected Joel and Abby's story was lazy writing and too convenient. I hated playing as Abby and found it broke any connection to the other main characters. They took a story about survival and making sense of how to start again and dumbed it down to a revenge story. A lot of pieces throughout are unncessary like all the drug references, the weed lair and the unneccesary sex scene which i skipped - they were gratuitous on all the wrong things. Terribly missed opportunity.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the story last night, and I see some of these bad reviews. It is almost like we didn’t play the same game.

    The Last of Us Part 2 captures human faces and emotion like nothing else I have played. The feeling of survival and fighting for your life was insane in the first game, and with this one Naughty Dog cranked it up as far as they could go. Do you remember the scene in 28 Days Later when Jim is running around and desperately fighting the soldiers? That is what the combat feels like, it is intense, savage and probably the most visceral I have ever experienced in a game. No joke- every character has a name, even the dogs- this gives real weight to the violence and makes everything feel more personal.

    One thing I felt about the first game was that there was a lot of fighting against people and less against infected. This one gets the balance perfectly, and the creature designs are horrifying in the best possible way. The fight against the repulsive Rat King in the hospital basement is a boss battle for the ages.

    The exploration and level designs are so detailed and well put together. You can spend hours taking everything in while you search for supplies. Make sure you search everywhere because you might find something that will save you when you next get into a fight. Not only that, but the exploration gives you a chance to further absorb this amazingly detailed and realised world. The graphics are outstanding.

    In a world where we are getting constant re-hashes of female characters from the past- lets give this evil character a sympathetic backstory! The Last of Us 2 gives us two incredible female leads in the form of Ellie and Abby. These are characters who fit perfectly within the morally grey confines of this game world. So many people are going on about how this game is pushing a political agenda- that is ridiculous, and I bet you that these are the guys who always use Ripley from Alien as their only example of a good female character. Okay, maybe they will mention Sarah Connor in the same breath. The reality is that the two lead performances are awards worthy, and the characters are deep and complex- everyone has their reasons and there is empathy for both sides. You will find yourself emotionally invested like you would a great film, and the goosebumps on your arm will reflect that.

    Some people lost their minds over Joel in this game and it makes me wonder- do they remember the first game? He changed the future of humanity to satiate his ego. He didn’t tell Ellie what he did, and he lied to her because he knew that he had made the wrong choice. The way he dies is in keeping with the world and the character. The Last of Us isn’t heroic gunfights and honour. No, he was ambushed and bashed in. It is grim, horrible, and totally in keeping with the feel of this world. He had it coming. He had done so many awful things and changed the fate of the entire world for the worse. Joel’s final decision at the end of the last game was unforgivable, and he knew it. People say that Joel has changed, and he is not the same guy from the first game- he kept the secret for years. He softened a little because he was looking for redemption. He never got it, and he did not deserve it.

    The sequel explores the consequences of Joel’s choice, the lie, and its impact on his relationship with Ellie. Which in turn makes Abby’s storyline gripping. Abby makes for a compelling playable character, her life had been changed by Joel’s actions and she handled revenge just like Joel would have. In this way, they are similar people who will do anything for those they love.

    Finally- if you still have any trepidation with getting this game, ask yourself one very important question: am I going to listen to these people, many of which have suspect reasons for hating it- or am I going to listen to almost every reputable reviewer (look at reviews from proper gaming magazines, most of them are golden) there is? You are only doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.    … Expand

    I look at all negative ratings, and realize that people don’t understand the philosophy of this game. Come on it is very good story. Yes, I didn’t like Joel’s dead, but only this gives us this kind of emotions. “There is no vaccine”

    After reading and watching different reviews I thought the game is not worth buying. I got mine on the winter sale. And I don't regret it.
    Technically the game is awesome. Graphics and gameplay are astonishing. Plot is good, but controversial. It makes you think a lot about revenge, human nature, good and bad.

    This game was a profound experiance, equal parts aggravating and traumatizing. I really don't understand people's disappointment, experiancing a story is not always about getting the fuzzy, touchy feely positive buzz. Not every story has a happy ending, and not every story needs one.

    I can't write too much about the game without spoilers. In any case, it shows that there is not always good and evil, but that everything is a matter of perspective. Every single second of the game feels carefully thought out to me and the story offers so much depth. An emotional, immersive gaming experience that I will never forget.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is amazing, visuals are unreal, AI is insane, but my issue lies within the execution of the story. The last of us is one of my favorite game of all times, like most who played the sequel. While I knew Joel was probably going to be killed off, I hated that they did it so early. I get it was for shock, but it took them a decade to finally release a sequel and they just rip the guy out immediately. They could have done so much between the two characters they spent the entire first game establishing, but they decided to kill on off for shock value, and introduce one by really forcing in the presence of someone who they didn't acknowledge in the first game. The ending of the first was so iconic but then they just casually changed it for the sequel to make sense. Yes, Joel killed everyone to get Elly back, but the gameplay I performed wasn't what happened in the flashback in the second. Really took me out of it and made me hate the rest of the game. Including trying to get me to feel for the Abby character, which I didn't at all. Hated playing as her and I hated the switching between characters when I was hoping for a more RPG gear build up of one character.… Expand

    FOR RUSSIAN SPEAKING PLAYERS!

    Мне первая часть неосоьо понравилась (на мете 6 поставлю, когда обзор и на нее напишу), поэтому к сиквелу я относился к скепсису, особенно на фоне всех недовольных воплей. Сейчас я перепрохожу игру на реализме, и это моя любимая игра. Плюсы: 1. Сюжет. Да, тут много спорных решений. Да, тут есть сложно обьяснимые (но обьяснимые все же!) моменты. Но это    FOR RUSSIAN SPEAKING PLAYERS!

    Мне первая часть неосоьо понравилась (на мете 6 поставлю, когда обзор и на нее напишу), поэтому к сиквелу я относился к скепсису, особенно на фоне всех недовольных воплей. Сейчас я перепрохожу игру на реализме, и это моя любимая игра.

    Плюсы:

    1. Сюжет. Да, тут много спорных решений. Да, тут есть сложно обьяснимые (но обьяснимые все же!) моменты. Но это творческое видение автора, и в целом я остался более чем довольным, и произвела на меня игра сильное впечталение и даже чему-то научила.

    2. Геймплей. Он прокачался относительно 1 части, но ощущается иначе засчет эффектов и анимаций. Проходил игру на высокой сложности (в 1 раз) и было прям супер интересно, в отличии от приквела, где я мог просто засыпать. Прокачка оружия и персонажа умеренная, анимации - великолепные, не менее.

    3. Графика. Лучшая графика в играх на данный момент, однозначно, и максимально реалистичная.

    4. Дизайн локаций. Выполнено все красиво и стильно, отлично передает сеттинг (что тоже плюс, обожаю зеленые постапоки) и понятно, куда идти.

    Минусы:

    1. Транс-персонаж. Я ко многому спорному в плане леволиберальных идей отношусь нормально, но что в постапокалипсисе делает транс - я не пойму.

    2. Дисбаланс сложности. Что в 1 части, что во 2, играть на уровне сложности ниже среднего-высокого играть скучно.

    Итог. Игра, за исключением пары незначительных моментов прекрасна, и я очень надеюсь, что 3 часть будет на этой же, а то и планкой выше.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the game got review bombed heavily since Joel dies right of the bat and after that no one gave it a chance including me but know I’ve played the game I can still see flaws but overall I really like the last of us 2. I think the whole playing the villain aka Abby was something good that you don’t see in other games and when I started playing as her I still hated her but when characters like lev come into play it makes you like Abby and actually give a **** about her which leaves you so torn when it gets to the fight between Ellie and Abby you don’t want anyone to die but you understand they have to and when Abby spares Ellie it just makes her more human and shows how Ellie has become a bad Pearson due to revenge. Also one of the most powerful scenes is when Tommy comes to the house to try and guilt Ellie into tracking abby which just leaves you feeling sorry for him because of how what’s happens to him has ruined him physically and emotionally. I also think the ending of the game really does drive home this idea of revenge isn’t good which seems abit expected tbh but the fact Ellie is left unable to play the guitar Joel gave her is so powerful because it shows that everything wasn’t worth it because not only is everyone destroyed by what happens know what she was keeping Joel’s memory alive with can’t be done and it just leaves you emotional. So yeah the last of us 2 is a good game and is definitely worth giving a chance(sorry this is abit of a wonky review it’s my first attempt of writing one)… Expand
