    For me, one of the best experience of this year.
    This game doesn't deserve that much negative reviews from users.

    I am too much of a wimp to play zombie games by myself although I do love them with a passion. I watched my boyfriend play all of the first one and now I watched him play all of this one. It was legitimately a great game. The storyline was complex and furthered a lot of the themes present in the first one. I don’t know why there was so much hate?

    Absolutely one of the greatest games I have ever played, all the criticism it got was extremely exaggerated and biased, the story is beautiful and astonishing. TLOU is a grim dark story, and it delivers that in a shockingly profound way...

    I really can't understand how this game got bad reviews. It is an epic game. Naughty dog had the difficult task of surpassing The Last of Us 1 and amazingly so, it for sure found ways to improve on the first game in every way possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am baffled by the user score here. LOU2 is a masterpiece, in every way. The story is exceptional, and the character development is beyond what any game has done before. I became invested in what I thought was going to be the “villains” far more than our heroes of the last game. A post-modern take on good vs bad, whereby it breaks that down into simply a “perspective”. The ugly truth behind the user score of that most people don’t actually understood this games complex subject matter and themes. Anger towards a new female character for killing a “beloved” character is nonsense. Joel is a good guy who does bad things, Abbie is a good women who did one bad thing, after Joel did a worse thing to her. The underlying message of revenge being all-consuming and never-ending is prevalent throughout the whole games dialogue. Ignore the haters. Play this game. It’s a masterpiece. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Почему люди жалуются на жестокую смерть Джоэла? Как по вашему Эбби должна была убить человека, который убил ее отца и толпу людей из организации в которой она состояла?
    Его убили так как сделал бы человек ждавший момента мести большое количество времени. К чему вопросы по поводу накаченности Эбби? Она качалась что бы отомстить, она же была слабой, да и ее сила часто помогала ей на пути. Эбби убивала врагов голыми руками, в отличие от Элли которая пользовалась ножом. Почему жалуются на концовку? Элли отпустила Эбби потому, что в ней ещё осталась хорошая частичка, которую оставил Джоэл. Геймплей стал куда динамичнее и интереснее. Графика на ps4 выглядит шикарно. Отличная музыка и сами звуки. Так почему ее так ненавидят?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally, I got some time around to really get into this game and avoided major spoilers and the game itself, even though they were flowing left and right on the internet. I got the game for free. I didn't want to play it nor pay for it because of the controversies surrounding the game itself. But viewing those damn gorgeous graphics and visuals, I was in awe. They were photo realistic. The game mechanics are a serious upgrade from the first game and I enjoyed every second of it. But boy oh boy, here I come to the worst part of this game - the story. I respect the balls to kill of a beloved character and see what they've done, but nope. After the first half of the game I quit when I started playing Abby, because 1) I hated it, I didn't feel connection nor compassion towards her, even though the game wanted me to. I just didn't. Playing her was a chore. They could have introduced her to me beforehand, before everything, and maybe just a big maybe, this game could've been better for me. But that is not what happened. At this point, this game is just not canon for me. It's a big flop from the first game, and it could have been way better. But hey, if you love gorgeous visuals, combat and music and you don't really care about narrative, this is your gem. Expand

    TLOUII - сильнейшее произведение Naughty Dog, смелое и мастерски выполненное со всех точек зрения, и провозглашающее новую вершину качества продакшена, режиссуры и нарратива, до которой остальным крупным студиям нужно будет стремиться всё последующее видеоигровое поколение.

    По всем критериям Part II мне нравится больше Part I. Помимо, очевидно, более лучшего технического исполнения, это и более зрелая и выверенная режиссура, которая местами очень сдержана, а местами даёт прикурить многим столпам экшен-жанра. Это и более открытый и просторный левел-дизайн, который почти избавился от схематичного дизайна первой части, где было уж очень много очевидных укрытий . Это и геймплей, который даёт больше пространства для тактики и манёвра. Это и более выверенный и узнаваемый арт-дизайн. Это и бесконечное количество фирменных мелких деталей. Это и баланс в плане экшена, исследовательских и спокойных эпизодов. Ещё в Uncharted 4 авторы снизили градус сражений, и я бы хотел, чтобы в следующих свои проектах данная тенденция только росла. Музыка здесь цепляла меня гораздо сильней, и чувствовалась более зрелой и мудрой, нежели в Part I. Ну и тревожные эмбиенты от композитора Мака Квейла удались на славу. Так же сильнейшие актёрские работы главных персонажей. Особенно мне понравился здесь Трой Бейкер, который окончательно слился с образом Джоэла, ибо в первой части его голос порой сильно выдавал актёра, его играющего. Здесь же полное растворение в роли, в чём заслуга, в том числе и Нила Дракманна как постановщика. Ну и сама история и её структура, с которой я полностью согласен, и которую полностью уважаю, придерживаясь мнения, что никак иначе её не стоило подавать. Из мизерных недостатков, что могу выделить для себя: не столь качественно поставленный эпизод с первым флэшбэком во второй половине игры на фоне остальных. Поменять и добавить буквально пару штрихов и было бы не так манипулятивно и очевидно. Ещё из минусов: странный фрагмент с животом Мэл на балке и слегка перекачанные бицепсы Эбби, которые периодически проваливаются вглубь её корпуса. В остальном, претензий нет. И кстати, ещё один плюс - продолжительность, и то, как она коррелирует с историей и имеет свой смысл, отметая любые весомые претензии о затянутости проекта.

    По итогу, одна из любимых видеоигр и идеальное завершение восьмого консольного поколения... было бы, если бы не пандемия, разумеется.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally, something not cliché and predictable. A main character dying, strong emotions, villain being more human and understandable instead of “Muahaha” personality, bad unwanted unfortunate things happening like real life, not all happy, no over the top unrealistic hero personalities from the characters you love. All these original things we get, unlike most movies, tv show, and video games. We got something new. I was finally not bored and didn’t feel like I’ve seen this 1,000 times in every other thing I’ve watched and played. This was amazing, but unfortunately it looks like people like cliché. I might be wrong about that, but it’s the feeling I get when I see all the hate. I cannot stand all the new politics being shoved down my throat, in everything I watch and play now a days…but honestly, this didn’t feel that way. My attention was fully on this game the entire way, and I am VERY happy with this game. I hope it gets more positive view points in the future. Expand

    It tears it all down to build it back up again. I understand some people don't like the fact that Joel died, but the previous story was done.
    This was a great continuation of the characters story, and the addition of Abby makes you see that the way we've been shown it's not the only way, and the same story always has two sides, both of them right in this case.
    Wonderfully crafted, it makes you care about the 'bad one'. If you're one of those who doesn't like playing as Abby because she killed Joel, push trough the initial uneasiness and you will see that she is also a victim as much as Ellie.

But I'm glad that there are more people who understand this game and don't judge it too soon than those who give zero without experience. let's move on The second version of this franchise is literally a revolutionary game in all fields, even if we don't want to talk about the story. The atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world of this game is undoubtedly one of the top three atmospheres in the game world The animations of the characters' faces are extremely realistic and well done, and you can relate to them well, and Naughty Dog should be congratulated for such an achievement on the PlayStation 4. In the end, we come to the level design and gameplay, which without any doubt has been made many times better and more attractive than the first version.
    The animations of the characters' faces are so well and realistically done that you can easily relate to them Apart from the texture and the animations, the quality of the animation and the feeling of Ellie's blows are extremely excellent and enjoyable, and conveys the sense of darkness and violence of the game well. The gameplay of the game has also improved in every aspect compared to the first game, from the secret work that has reached the peak of attraction thanks to the new equipment and the strong artificial intelligence of the enemies. The elements of survival are good at inducing a sense of post-apocalyptic experience And finally, the mechanism of sleeping on the ground is one of the most important and effective parts of the gameplay, both in action and in stealth.

Even if you don't find the story amazing, the way it's told, mixing the right balance of cinematography and game playing, keeps you engaged throughout. And even if you don't like Abby (one of the two protagonists that you play as), Naughty Dog still does characterisation like almost no other; the characters really feel like people

    I did think some of the things in the story were too on the nose. For example, both main characters are in a love triangle of their own, one of the ways they made it so you can think 'look! They aren't that different even though one seeks revenge on the other'. But I found this story more interesting than the previous game, and honestly, even though I was prejudiced against Abby at the beginning considering her woeful murder of Joel, I definitely found her half of the game much more interesting than Ellie's.

    Cannot relate to the people hurt by Joel's death. I never really connected to him anyway. I did find the premise of the plot lame at first, but playing through it isn't bad.

Os sons e trilhas sao ok, os barulhos de agua e chuva gostei bastante fora isso nao posso dizer que sao o ponto forte do game, mas nao deixam a desejar. As vozes, entretanto, seguem a premissa da franquia, fazendo com que a historia seja mais emocionante. Voce se importa com os personagens porque a atuacao e real - ressaltando as expressoes ja mencionadas.

    A gameplay eh legal, traz os mesmos elementos do primeiro game, e os aprimora um pouco, mas as vezes se torna cansativa por trazer uma sequencia de gameplay sem cinematic, o que faz as vezes nao entender porque temos que fazer isso, desmotivando a gente de ter que passar por uma parte especifica - e so entendendo depois a importancia de termos feito um trecho tao desmotivadamente.

    A historia apesar de muitos nao terem gostado, eu particularmente gostei - porque ela eh muito mais pe no chao. Nao da um final feliz, e sim um final de como realmente aconteceria. Por isso eu gostei, tem um amargo, mas a vida eh assim. Se a historia fosse pra ser como quisessemos, todos ficariam vivos e felizes para sempre, mas a vida nao eh assim e o jogo nos ensina alidar com perdas e superacao, inclusive esse eh o foco da historia. Eu adorei.

I personally think it is an astounding masterclass in game play, graphics and one of the most heart-renching, gut punching stories ever followed up to any original IP I can ever remember ever. It is absolutely brutal and full of pain in the most amazing and awful ways. 10/10 definitely to say the least. Yes, a masterpiece for me money. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It seems like all of the reviewers here are angry men, so here are my 5 cents from a female gamer perspective.

    I loved the 1st game very much but I've never binded with Joel. I totally understood his reasoning and decisions, fueled by rage, PTSD, death of his own daughter and 20 years of killing people and innocent monsters. But having an explanation doesn't mean having compassion or justification.

    He was a very selfish murderous character, who, in the end of the game robbed whole humanity of the chance of finding cure for the desease - for his own selfish reasons. He also destined Ellie to continue living in the world full of monsters, making the rest of her life a survival.

    He killed innocent people and even though he was the main character, we have to see him for who he was. And also see Abby as not a "villain of the game" but a person, who herself was grieving for the parent, who was brutally killed by Joel. For me it wasn't so hard. I hate the group mentality, where people cheer for their own, making circumstantial excuses for their bad actions, while villifying "the other" who is acting from the very same reasons.

    Ellie was a product of having Joel as a "role model". She saw him killing for years and she obviously followed his steps of "revenge", killing hundreds of people, innocent people,only to understand in the end, that revenge is not the answer.

    She showed a tremendous character developement and the moment of catharsis she finally had in the end, was that moment, where I see gaming industry changing.

    Masculine brutal culture was bread on wars, power and revenge for centuries. Nowadays we can see from the example of female leaders in the world, that winning in the war is not the best thing. The best thing is NEVER PARTICIPATING IN THE WAR in the first place. Caring about social well being of other people,treating everyone with compassion and understanding. Caring about children and elderly.

    We still live in the culture of a constant "enemy threat", countries militarasing for the sake of "defence" when in most cases it is just a few politicians comparing "dic*s".

    I can understand while many men here are angry about this game. It opposes their cultural concept of masculinity - strong men can do whatever they want and their actions will always be excused for the sake of some "greater good". Ellie shows that there is no "greater good" in or after revenge. Killing people is what it is - killing people. You can come up with any excuse you want but deep inside you know,that your violence against others is not more holy or justified than the violence of others against you.

    You always feel like you are a protagonist of life. But so do other people. You revenge is not more important than theirs and you pain is not more justified than theirs, just because it is yours. And that is what Ellie understands in the end.

    PS short remark to all the rage about "wokeness" from the pseudo-Christian bros. You seriously talk about Christian values after 30 hours of brutally murdering people on screen, smashing their heads and shooting? Jesus said "when slapped turn the other cheek" and God said "thou shalt not kill". Nothing about trans people or lesbians in the scripture. More like "thou shalt love one another/thy neighbor/thy enemie".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is very hard to take in. I see a part of myself in Ellie, and it feels very f-ing good to see a main gay character in an AAA game. You could blab all you want about it being a propaganda, but after all, the only ,,major“ sex scene involved straight people. Why does it have to be propaganda when they show something that should be normal? This game doesn’t have to be a ,,representation” of the LGBTQ+ community, it should be something normal that could happen in any game/movie/tv show, because these people exist too, you know....
    More about the game now - It’s very violent which makes it even a little uncomfortable at some times. It’s not only a sequel, it’s a continuation of Ellie’s and Joel’s story. They both suffer from the decisions they have made, but Ellie is extremely affected by the event from the first game - Joel taking away the only opportunity, that could safe the human race. And although Joel dies (which was extremely sad and it ripped my heart out, despite the fact that I have already seen the spoiler), when we think about it - he crossed a lot of people and he could’ve died even earlier. The fact that Ellie and Joel made some kind of peace before his death, gave Ellie a reason to be even more violent. We get to see the story from Abby’s eyes and that gave us another perspective of the cycle of violence. This game is about Ellie and Joel, yes, but it is also about the cruel world that they live in - everyone has made bad choices and no one is a hero. But they all have suffered the consequences of their violent and cruel actions, this is why the ending was so satisfying - Ellie finally decided to let go and end this cycle.

Yet here I am, writing my second ever review and it's just to say one thing... this sequel topped it. It's a game that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The emotional journey only works when played through in its entirety. Just like with the original, this is a game that needs to be played start to finish for it to work as well as it does. I find it sad some people are so hard set against opening themselves to experiencing this game as it was intended. I admit there were points in my own play-through where I was telling myself there's no way they can pull off what I think they are trying to accomplish.

    I was so wrong.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I loved every single moment of it. By the end of it, I was really hoping Ellie would stop because she was getting too crazy with revenge and I’m glad that that’s exactly what happened. Every character had clear motivations and the parallels that were drawn between Ellie and Abby make me feel so bad for them but also understand them at the same time. Amazing game and I’m going right back into it on the harder difficulties. The pacing had some issues to me but that would only make it around a 9.5-9.6 to me so gotta pick 10.

    If you’re looking for a game that discusses some challenging subjects such as empathy, emotional blindness, revenge being a fool’s game, while also giving some fun gameplay (similar to the first but more brutal) then I would definitely say to give this game a try. To me the best way to experience this game is to try your best to see things from every character’s eyes. It might be challenging and understandably so but it definitely helps the point stick.

    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.
