    Отличная игра, поначалу казался банальный сюжет, но поиграв, я залип и играл до последнего. Концовка настолько эмоциональная что советую пройти каждому.

    Cool game. Cool story. Great respect for the developers.
    You get a lot of emotions from the game. Excellent technical performance. Incredible battle animations, blood physics and facial expressions. Well-designed locations and the atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world.

    I do understand that some people can't get over a certain story moment, emotionally speaking. I even read that most backlash comes from the fact that the main protagonist (Ellie) is lesbian. What the heck is wrong with people?? There is nothing wrong with being lesbian and we have to get rid of the sexsim in the game industry. I want awesome developed male and female characters. However, most games focus on the strong male perception, what about the role of awesome strong female characters?

    In the last of us part 2. Neil Druckman and the entire team at Naughty Dog created pure art, and I can't praise them enough for it!

    I am sincerely enjoying the game, and can't wait what happens next.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't get people. Many just crying for a better ending or a better story. Many are dissatisfied. How this or that would be much wiser to do blablabla. They want to erase this like that would solve anything, but that's just denial.
    I'm satisfied. I got a story, a story what the creators wanted to tell me.
    I enjoyed the game. The thrills it got me, the gameplay, visuals and the sounds. It all contributed to have a great experience, to involve me as much as possible to the world. The whole game is well thought out and well made. Lot of detail and work had been put into it, that's sure. The makers deserve applause for it.

    I also had problems with characters. I didn't like them at the time, but that's just life. You can't make everyone happy.
    (And you would not want that anyway. From a creator point of view you want to present your idea as you see fit, not as how others will like it.)

    I also had a character whom I liked and at the end of the story I was pity him for being stuck emotionally. Just like how Joel was stuck with her daughters death. Which is totally okay. But he haven't moved on after 20 years. He got a second chance from life and he took it. It had consequences which he paid for after all. Ellies and Abbys journey also had these consequences, but at the end Ellie made the right decision. She has grown. We get the moral of the story, at a cost.
    Thats why this game is so great. Its cold and warm. It makes you hate or like people in it. Makes you think. Life is just like that. No happy ending, just plain cruel reality.

    I think many of us who played the game liked it after all. It just happened that its unpopular to have a positive opinion about it nowadays and it makes it look like this game is trash.
    It's okay to hate it as well as love it.
    Just don't let others ruin your experience. I believe it's a MUST to play this game.

    Definitely not a 0 score game, you can't rank a game 0 score simply because you don't like it's story.
    The story could've been better, and there're lots of flaws in it as well, but it doesn't matter. It is what it is.

    As a game, gameplay, AI, stage design, physics simulation, actor performances, e.t.c. are all top notch,
    to me it's at least 8.5, but overall it worth a 10.

    Seems another generation of games ends with a last of us. perfect send off for the ps4.

    It also seems like loads of people are hating on the game. If someone's review is 19th of June, then they obviously didn't play through the entire game or even close to it.I would like to state it does feel a bit weird at first to see Ellie so (understandably) angry and sad.. but the second half of the game tells a tale too.. one where you think about your actions in the first half with more weight. It's a very unique story and brave. I loved it.. but I think you need to be older than 18 to appreciate it.. which is probably where of these reviewers are going wrong.

    Furthermore, LGBTQ is represented in this game, however it feels natural and not slapped in your face repeatedly. No one should care that Ellie is gay (TLOU DLC showed this). If you do its surely your own fragile masculinity causing the issue here.

    Personally I think anyone with a discriminatory review should be banned and deleted.

    Either way, this game is a must play for the ps4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never written a review on metacritic before, but due to this game's controversy, and it being review bombed, I feel like I should write one now that I finished it. I'm no writer, so I'm sorry if my review isn't particularly well written.
    It took me around 25 hours to finish it, spending a lot of time exploring as much as I could.

    The short, spoiler free review is:

    The game is amazing! It's hard to play like some movies are hard to watch. It's uncomfortable, it kept me on the edge of my seat for most of it and I really love it.
    Play if for yourself, borrow a copy if you are afraid you might not like it, but I can't imagine someone not liking it. Yes, things happened in the story that made me angry and sad, but a good story doesn't only have things the audience wants.
    I truly believe this game deserves a 10, but I understand not everyone will agree with me. That being said, I can't imagine anyone giving this game less than a 6. A 6 would be the score if the person absolutely hates cinematic and/or survival games, but if you hate this kind of games then you shouldn't be playing it.

    The longer, with some spoilers review follows (SPOILERS!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

    I avoided any spoilers before playing the game. Even trying to avoid them I knew people were pissed because the antagonist is trans (although I can't understand why that's a reason for someone to be pissed) but I didn't know any details. Well, the game really does have a trans character, but it is not the antagonist like people assumed. People though Abby was trans, but she is just really buffed. There is another character that is trans, I really enjoyed his journey, but now I wonder if there were two separate leaks, one saying there is a trans character and another showing Abby with the gold club and people just made a wrong assumption.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed the way the story is structured. It uses it's two protagonists to show the player the same events through different lenses. I hated a character in the beginning, then later loved them because I got to see things in a different way. I got really pissed at characters I've always loved, but I "forgave" then once they found redemption. Everyone is the hero on their own story.

    The first game had some "nice" and "light" moments (like the giraffes), and this one does too, but on this game those moments are mostly flashbacks and memories. The present of the protagonists sucks most of the time, they are always under pressure, fighting for their and for their loved ones lives.

    The game is good I get why some people are angry even after playing it, hell I'm angry at the game, but It's still really good, it's supposed to make you angry, it reminds us that everyone has their own story.    … Expand

It's grim, violent, occasionally gratuitous, and makes a lot of bold narrative choices. However, a lot of people commenting on this game need to grow up and actually go in to this game with an open mind instead of automatically writing it off after a couple hours (or even without playing it at all) because something happened that they do not like or because they are worried about some imaginary political agenda. The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece that successfully follows up it's previous entry. It is not without it's flaws, but it's strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses.

    The story of the first game is an iconic piece of storytelling that should be impossible to follow up. However, while Last of Us Part 2's story isn't quite as strong as the previous game, it is still a compelling tale on it's own.Last of Us Part 2 is intense and often times horrific, which left me with feelings of anxiety and dread. Much has been made about how the game handles violence, but I do feel that the violence works to the game's benefit as the story tackles the consequences of revenge and characters are forced to make difficult moral choices then face the consequences of their violent actions. The game trades black and white storytelling for numerous shades of gray that constantly make you reassess whether what you are doing is truly the right thing. Sometimes special "boss type" enemies will provide obstacles and some of these battles are crazy brutal and require frantic off the wall strategy in order to progress to the next section. This combined with new enemy types such as dogs and stalkers make for a heart pounding experience that constantly has you wondering what the world will throw at you next. Speaking of the world, exploration makes downtime between enemy encounters much more bearable and I often lost track of time as I scanned locations for collectibles, journal entries, supplies, and numerous secrets that give the setting life. I'm not gonna talk to much about the graphics and sound design because quite frankly that all speaks for it's self.

    Pros:
    Refined the first one's gameplay mechanics makes an already strong system near perfect
    Story is intense, emotional, and constantly had my heart racing
    Graphics and Sound Design are among the best in video game history
    Exploration is rewarding
    Most of the themes explored had me thinking nonstop and hit me hard
    Boss fights are among the most engaging and brutal I have ever played
    New enemy types add new wrinkles to gameplay and makes for more unique interactions
    Character work here is really second to none

    No game is perfect, however. Even masterpieces are victim to nitpicking and flaws. Last of Us Part 2 is an ambitious game and while I ultimately loved the overall product, it doesn't stick every landing. There are occasions I felt they tried to do too much or tried to tackle subjects that they really had no business including in this game. The biggest gripe I had, however, was the way the plot was structured. I feel like this may be the main reason some people think the story is poor as it feels like two different games with two different stories stitched together. This leads to a big lull in the middle of the game that honestly had me questioning whether the quality of the game would take a major dip and truly be awful. Thankfully it didn't and the game's narrative recaptures it's momentum and then some. This is still an issue that needs to be acknowledged, however, and while I enjoyed the 2nd half story it still feels mostly disconnected from the first half and just felt like really great DLC. The game also on a couple occasions gets a little too gratuitous in the way it handles some of the violence and sex and it can be a little distracting at times. New enemy types are great, but they are used a bit too sparingly which is a little disappointing when considering how much they can mix up the gameplay.

    Cons:
    Awkward plot structure
    Occasionally too gratuitous
    New enemy types not implemented enough

    I loved The Last of Us Part 2. The game's story and gameplay had me in a vice grip and took me on a roller coaster of emotions. Yes it made me upset, but it also thrilled and captivated me more than any other game has since probably God of War. I understand some of the narrative choices may make some players absolutely livid, but I implore you to go into this game with a completely open mind and just try to enjoy the game as it's own independent work of art and not just as a follow up to one of the greatest games ever made. Also don't trip so much about the inclusion of LGBTQ characters. Their inclusion isn't to push political views, but to provide representation in a way that suggests normalcy.    … Expand

    A good story doesn't pander to its listeners -- it depicts something real and meaningful.

This is the hard truth that people need to experience. These are the lessons we need to learn.

    The Last of Us 2 é uma experiência incrível. A morte do Joel incomodou muitos jogadores, inclusive a mim. Entretanto, se olharmos a história pelo outro lado, onde Joel, no primeiro jogo, eliminou por completo a possibilidade de criação de uma “cura”, ele realmente fez grandes inimigos. TLOU2 entrega uma história dramática e muito emocionante. Muita coisa mudou do primeiro jogo pra o segundo. As comunidades, criações, entre outras coisas evoluíram. É muito bacana observar como isso foi mostrado no jogo.

    Graficamente o jogo arrebenta. O mundo “pós apocalíptico” continua muito bem representado. Inclusive a vegetação cresceu e a flora tomou cidades deixando os cenários lindos. Enfim, é um jogo completo com uma experiência incrível, assim como o primeiro, que deve ser jogado por todos aqueles que presam por um game de enredo e conteúdo artistico único.    … Expand

And absolutely nothing in it feels like "filler" content, the game just bombards you with action after action, twist after twist, it's insane. The game also has more locations and places to explore than I could've ever imagined, it's RIDICULOUS. Not ONE of them looks rushed or anything lesser than a masterpiece in terms of detail and visuals.

    Talking about visuals, HOLY **** You played Uncharted 4? Yeah, this game looks considerably better. I don't know how it's possible, but it's true. TLOU 2 has absolutely no right to look this good on a current gen console. The PS4 goes out with a bang with this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I became a fan of the last of us back in year 2015. I was always a PC gamer but I knew that I have to play "The Last of Us" before dying. I bought my first console ever i.e. a PS3 and I played the game, i ended it and it spoke to me on levels which no other video game did. I connected to the game to the characters. To Joel, Ellie, Tess, Henry, His brother, Tommy and so many other beautiful characters.

    I bought my first PS4 in the summer of 2016 and ended the game again. I still remember when I saw the first trailer for the The Last of Us Part II I had goosebumps all over my body and I was in a state of shock.

    I was excited ever since the game's 1st trailer was shown in PSX 2016. I was so much excited to play this game.

    Fast forward Friday night 19th June, 2020 I played the game and seeing Joel die was just so much painful. I was expecting that they will kill him off but I didn't expect he will die so badly. Seeing him dead made me really sad. I cried for a longtime and well I hated Abby.

    Playing this game was one of the most complex and meaningful gaming experiences ever. The game affects you emotionally so much and teaches you the small things in your life which we all take for granted.

    I admit playing with Abby even till the end I was so pissed that why the hell am I playing with this woman but going towards the end, everything made sense. I started bring the pieces together and connecting the dots.

    What Joel did, it was justified to save Ellie but what Abby did to him was also justified. The game told me that "revenge" has no meaning in life, no matter how much we hate when someone wrong us, revenge is just never worth it.

    First game told me that how even during the pandemic humans can be cruel and be animals to each other. But the 2nd part told me that it is up-to us to decide who we wanna be. To live and let others live too. Forgive and forget.

    The ending broke me from inside out, even though Ellie forgave Abby at the end, but in her quest for revenge she lost Dina when she begged for her to stay. At the end she lost her too, the last piece of puzzle who could keep her happy or give her sanity.

    When I ended this game I was so sad that I went to bed, hugged my wife and slept like a baby. The game tells us not to take the little things in our life for granted. Our parents, our wife/husband/spouse, children, job, lifestyle anything for granted.

    it is very important to stay connected to your loved ones and cherish every moment till the very last breath.

    I honestly recommend this game to everyone who owns a PlayStation 4. Don’t trust anybody else’s views or criticism. Play yourself and decide yourself.

    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN    I'm trying to understand why people hate The Last of Us 2. This is one of the best sequels I've played in my entire life. Last time I got sucked into a story like this was with Red Dead Redemption 2 and LOU2 stands toe to toe with it.

    I loved the first game and I really thought that a second part was unnecessary. ND's biggest challenge was to justify the sequel's existence and GODDAMN they did it! I love it even more. It's hard to find anything negative about it. Even the soundtrack is fantastic and I really thought they wouldn' top that. Well, they did that too.

    For starters, this is the most beautiful game of this generation. The level of detail and animation technology here is stunning. Part of the reason why you get so convinced in getting involved with the characters is because of how they talk, move, laugh, cry, talk and just react to things. What the devs pulled here was a work of art. A phenomenal graphical powerhouse that paves the way for an incredibly elaborate story.
    The gameplay's still very reminiscent of the first entry, but much more improved. Combat and stealth are gruesome, intelligent, challenging, intense and breathtaking. You may not have the level of flexibility of MGSV or the improvisation possibilities of Uncharted 4, but you can ACTUALLY plan how you're going to face encounters and recover from bad decisions, turning the tide to your favor. It's almost flawless. Upgrading your character also feels a lot more rewarding now. Looking for supplies and saving bullets and items matters a lot more, this time.
    Oh and the environments are GORGEOUS! Not only to look at, but to explore. They felt scary AND charming at the same time.

    But the true driving force of TLOU2 is the story. The acting and writing is at its best. I've seen few things like it in a video game. Without getting into the infamous heavy controversial spoilers, I felt like EVERY decision made in its plot was masterfully done and well justified. It's weird when they break the tale's climax to change the perspective, but when you get further into the script, you just get it. You root for both characters. You may even hate them both. It makes you question MANY things about society, revenge, choice, family, humanity and love. All of these things backed by the strong portrayal of amazing actors, great writing, precise details and impressive animations. Can't remember the last time I cried and laughed this much as I did here.

    I guess the bad parts of TLOU2 are in its structure.
    Like I said, it is extremely justifiable, but it takes a while to justify it. The story is massive and beautiful, but they break it with many flashbacks and perspective moves. Pacing kinda drags, especially with the "Can't Go This Way, Let's Find Another One" moments. It definitely did not trouble my experience, but I get that it can be bothersome. The third act, albeit VERY impactful, can kinda feels rushed. Specially since they just throw a new group of enemies at you without any background.
    The stealth, when facing the infected, doesn't always work. Maybe it's on purpose, but I went through some frustrating moments when dealing with them. Also, your companion's AI sort of... Sucks.

    It's really hard to give this game anything different than a 10. It might not feel like it in the future, but I really see almost no flaw in it. I had fun, I got sad, angry, happy, frustrated and felt challenged by TLOU2.
    Challenged not only by the gameplay, but also by the story. The game's biggest challenge is to see both sides and to deal and accept that, well... Tomorrow begats tomorrow. Wether it's a good or a bad one. A brutal or a beautiful one. A bloody or a peaceful tomorrow. Your decisions will make or break you. And it might just make or break others too.

I couldn't disagree with the majority of people giving this game a score of 2 or lower more, about the characters and story, I don't think it's a complete mess at all, and it doesn't forget about what was built within the first game either.

    I won't spoil anything for anyone, but the decisions made by the characters are JUSTIFIED even if I don't personally agree that it's a route they SHOULD have taken. The point is that the story is so well crafted and nuanced that as the player, you come to an understanding during the game that the routes these characters take, COULD possibly happen to someone under the same circumstances. It's a dark turn, but it's not an illogical leap.

    For the negative reviewers to call this game "a pitiful revenge story" "filled with unlikable characters" "decisions that are ridiculous and unbelievable" Is a massive overstep, and I really believe that those people missed the whole point of the story, the character's development (or devolution), and the many reasons to empathize with them, while also not forgiving them for their decisions, but also still being able to appreciate a well told story supported by superb yet conflicting moments of raw emotion.

    There has never been a game like this before, it is one of a kind, and it is a gaming gem of this generation. The sad part is that it will forever be misunderstood and underappreciated for various factors, mostly because of the die hard community of fans that had their own expectations of what this game should have been. Too bad they couldn't realize that it was never up to them, and that the direction the developers went in told a compelling story, that is still believable, and that is poignant and brutally sad and beautiful simultaneously.

    Easily one of the best games ever made. Any of the haters on here are sheep who wanted a spoon fed more of the same story from the first. This game is a emotional rollercoaster that will make you play characters you hate and see their side of the story. Gameplay is the best you can get in an survival horror game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truth be told, I actually would say that this game is 8 out of 10 for me. But its obviously been downvoted by haters for two reasons: sjw themes and Joel's death. And its really sad and shiws how gamers are not yet ready for serious narrative and adult themes. You remember how the first game mafe you feel? It wasnt about having fun journey like Uncharted. It was about emotional weight. And now ev everybody acting like ND betrayed them by taking away Joel, not allowing them to once again witness another journey by Joel and Ellie, than same thing in tlou 3, then in tlou 4... All people want is another series of adventures , not the game that that will impact you deeply, not art... Oh, and many peoole still judging the game by leaks, even tho many if them created the wrong picture of what's really going on in the game. And even if you are so offended by the story (which is your problem, not developer's), the game is undeniably great in every other aspect: gameplay, graphics, design, sound, everything. Giving it 0 and 1? Immature to say the least.… Expand

    First off, I would ignore all reviews that are posted on the day of release. It took me 24 hours to beat the game (now this is while getting all of the collectables) but for the average person who's not trying to get a platinum trophy, I'd say they will probably beat the game in about 17-20 hours. Therefore it's pretty unlikely that most of these 0 star reviews posted on the 19th areFirst off, I would ignore all reviews that are posted on the day of release. It took me 24 hours to beat the game (now this is while getting all of the collectables) but for the average person who's not trying to get a platinum trophy, I'd say they will probably beat the game in about 17-20 hours. Therefore it's pretty unlikely that most of these 0 star reviews posted on the 19th are legit.

    Now let me get to my actual review. Yes, I saw the leaks (saw them after I heard angry joe talk about them) and I was livid and vowed to never play this game. As time went on I started to open up to the idea of playing the game and then preordered it to start playing at 9PM. While the leak was legit in terms of the actual footage but a lot of what people had said regarding the footage was inaccurate. I cannot go into details without spoiling the game but I think that ND did a pretty good job with the story. Yes, it's not the story that we all expected or even wanted but that doesn't make it bad. As you play the game you will come to terms with the idea that Ellie and Joel are just two people that are part of this chaotic world that do what they must in order to survive and that some of the choices that they made can come back to bite them. If you're like me and vowed to never play the game because of the leaks, do yourself a favor and try to play this game with an open mind. Some people are upset about the ending but to me I liked it. I've heard people trying to compare this to the new star wars trilogy and having beaten this game, I can truthfully tell you that it isn't like that. Also for all of the people hating on this game because SJW and LGBT well I bet you that they never cared for the game anyway.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally finished my first playthrough, and honestly, all of the negative takes on this game are not deserved.

    It's not like people didn't see this onslaught coming from the moment a trailer revealed Ellie to yes, be definitely into girls, and yes, it's going to serve as something as part of the story. The reveal of the leaks only helped amplify people to have a "reason" to be mad and want to cancel their preorders, and even be ready to drop negative scores on release date, which they definitely did.

    A number of negative reviews that include "woke" and "SJW" doesn't really surprise me, and they're definitely coming from incels who didn't even actually play the game.

    The reviews citing "story" issues: I'm convinced most of these are from players who didn't finish the game. You can tell by the fact that the "most helpful" reviews of the game right now are coming from day-one reviews, and there's quite simply no way anyone was beating this game in just a few hours. But the few who did actually play through the game, and still want to cite their contempt for the story, I've gotta say they're pretty low IQ and simple folks. The story is much more dynamic than the original and unconventional. This is something that should be appreciated in gaming, especially in sequels to a successful new IP. But nope, they didn't get the game "they wanted". They didn't get another story of duo-team Joel/Ellie going and kicking some ass and trying to survive, so **** the director and the devs because they were too dull to get it, apparently. This is the problem with entitled fanboys. But let's be honest, no matter what the story entailed, they wouldn't have liked it, because the original game is popular, got loads of awards, and the sequel was highly anticipated. So like so many sequels to equally successful games since: it was never going to live up to their expectations. But the leaks didn't help. It's very aggravating to see tens of thousands of talentless losers try to sabotage the success of years of hard work by the dev team for quite literally no actual good reason.

    Unfortunately for these crybabies, the game is actually legitimately good. If you enjoyed the game mechanics of the first game, you'll feel right at home with the sequel. A few new weapons, a few new stealth mechanics, a new means of upgrading abilities and weapons. It's familiar, but fresh.

    The graphics got a bump, and it makes the overall feeling of the world around you and the way you traverse, explore, and combat enemies much more breathtaking. It's a very pleasant experience and no doubt the devs put a lot of work into attention to detail.

    When there is music playing, it's soothing and meshes well with the moment, which is what it's all about. I'm a fan of minimalism with music in gaming when it makes sense. The Last of Us has always been one of those games where that makes sense. But when it happens, it needs to matter. Thankfully with TLOU2, as was with the first, this is the case.

    The story.

    This is arguably the biggest point of contention with players right now. And I say arguably very loosely, because you kind of see the writing on the wall with how a lot of these bad actors just can't separate their assertion that the story is bad, with their need to openly display their contempt for the fact that Ellie's sexuality was made apparent, and even part of the story. Now, of course, no one will have anything to say about the sex scene with Abby, and her romantic history with one of the other supporting characters.

    The story is very good, it's thought-provoking, and it challenges your perception of what storytelling can be. The idea that the story is "predictable", as I've seen other player reviews state, is ridiculous. The only way it was predictable is if you went out of your way to watch the story leaks, and even then, there's no way you're going to be able to predict the outcome of anything in this game with such minimal amounts of information leaked by a disgruntled former employee.

    I honestly don't understand why gamers set expectations for sequels to games they like. For people who complain about predictability and bad storytelling, it's weird how they want a story to be exactly the way they envision it being - which sounds more predictable than this game ever ended up being.

    Players shouldn't be driven off by the bad reviews from people who definitely didn't play the game, and already had their minds made up after they saw the leaked footage. Experience the full extent of the content yourself. This team clearly put a lot of effort into providing something fresh, and if you liked the first game, they deserve to have their hard work be given an honest chance.

    Now I'm onto starting my second playthrough so I can complete my plat trophy. 10/10.    … Expand

    I feel like I waited all my life for such a game. 4 days after playing, I feel full and empty at the same time, so many emotions. Love your family and don't go on the side of hatred and revenge, you will just lose more, this is a simple idea, but the way NG shoved it to us is so strong. "It's no better to be safe than sorry" and they didn't play it safe.

    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.
