    My name is Elik, I'm from Russia. The last of us 2 is that game from not many games which takes for the soul! I have never experienced such a range of emotions. The game made me look at revenge from the other side and I am sincerely grateful to the developers who put their soul into the game and brought me a lot of pleasure! Thank you so much! Спасибо!!!

    the game is a very good successor ignoring the critics of loa haters without reason it is a very good game in gameplay and many more aspects that make it one of the best ps exclusive but what I do say is that even if it has several errors that does not mean that it is a bad game

The Last of Us give you a lot different feelings, and can make you angry, sad, etc. But the story and the anti-revenge message would be more poweful if Ellie killed Abby in the ending and abandoned the girl in the boat, and after that returned to home without any friends, and wife, and family.
    So the game is a masterpiece, in graphics and history, but pay $60 dollars for it isn't worth

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over all those issues, I’d like to rate this game 10 out of 10. I loved to be Ellie and follow her emotions. Users can find lots of scenes that reminds them about the part1&dlc. The graphics&guitar sound was awesome. Also the enemy’s AI(with various action while searching&fighting)and fighting actions were cool. Increased useable weapons were interesting. Also while the adventure time, users can do lot more actions (like using rope, jumping around, and etc.) than we did in part1. The idea this game wants to tell us about was great. Playing this game with some open-minded heart will give you the best experience.



    — SPOILER ALERT FROM THIS PART—



    I understand why people get mad about the story. Joel’s death made them not just “angry”, but more. Just like Ellie did. It was definitely directors’ mistake that they didn’t realize how much people do care about Joel and how much they’ll gonna be frustrated. Directors should’ve notice that user’s anger won’t lead them to “be Ellie”, but lead them to stop the game and score the lowest. But I can also understand why the story happened like that. I didn’t searched about the leaks, so during the playtime was the time when I knew Joel’s gonna be die. The sadness, anger, frustration, and all of my emotions... while I was looking on Ellie’s face... it made me to be her. But yeah, if I’d heard about the leak(that Joel gonna die, and not just dying, but with a golf club.), I won’t be able to enjoy the game like i’m doing now. I’ll start the game with full of anger about Joel’s fate and thinking about this game is a total **** or I’ll just enjoy the part1 over and over, not buying this game, making my own story of Joel&Ellie. I totally understand why users are so upset about this game, but I also think that if there wasn’t the leak, user’s score won’t be that low. Without a prejudice, people might be angry(with the same rage as now) but also they could be able to immerse themselves in a story. By linking themselves with Ellie, by being her.

    About the ending, I totally agree with the directors. Make Ellie kill Abby, just like the users wanted to, but then what? Will the revenge make Ellie feel better? Is that really an answer? There was always an “unusual” endings in this series. In part1, Joel’s selfish decision was the ending(to say in a bad way). But why not this time? I loved the idea what this game wanted to say. It’s painful thing to accept that idea, but I did.

    I’m Korean, so I don’t know how international users think about LGBTQ+ and any other issues in this game, but I do know that it made some of Korean users get mad. But is that really a thing to be mad just because you can’t shoot Jewish thing, main character is a gay, and the Queer flag is in the game... Like, for REAL?? I think some angers go to the wrong way, not make them to be Ellie but be some socially-mentally immature people. It can’t be a reason or an excuse to rate this game low. I think the game made a society where we are living right now. Sure there’s no infected, but there’s various people living with us. Some users should see the character/people not as their identity, but just as a human.

    The gameplay was great just as I wrote it in the intro. I hope people could see this game not with some colored glasses.

    Also: Lesbians exist! If i have to watch Geralt have sex with three different women in one game y'all can sit through Ellie kissing a girl ffs. For a group of people who likes to scream "triggered!" at every given opportunity you seem to be triggered a lot by that.

    The game is a masterpiece. Don’t listen to the people crying that Joel’s death wasn’t all sun shine and rainbows in a **** POST APOCALYPSE, don’t listen to the insecure and pathetic neck beards who are angry that gay people exist. The game doesn’t shove the SJW stuff in your face unless to you that means showing you anything that isn’t heterosexual. I am 12 hours in and the there was about three lines of dialogue where Ellie calls someone a bigot because they called her a dyke. Literally nothing else. If you are emotionally threatened by that, it’s your problem. The graphics: fantastic The locations: fantastic The combat: tense and thrilling especially at the hardest difficulty The characters: interesting and complex Anyone with a brain knows that no matter what this game doesn’t deserve a **** 3

O hate todo que o jogo anda a ter nesta última semana é estúpido, a maior parte só leu os spoiler/leaks ou viu pessoas a falar sobre. Só quem realmente o jogou é que devia de opinar já que a experiência de jogar é completamente diferente.

    Amei o jogo e aposto que as pessoas que o realmente jogarem do início ao fim vão adorar. O hate todo que o jogo anda a ter nesta última semana é estúpido, a maior parte só leu os spoiler/leaks ou viu pessoas a falar sobre. Só quem realmente o jogou é que devia de opinar já que a experiência de jogar é completamente diferente.

    O jogo foi corajoso de início ao fim, tomou decisões realistas, o que nos faz ter medo de tudo que possa acontecer pela frente em termos de história. Em termos de gráficos está muito bonito como já se esperava e com expressões super realistas o que faz as cenas ficarem ainda melhores.
    A trilha sonora está tão boa quanto o primeiro, sendo que neste tem algumas que mexem de certa forma mais connosco, o que faz as cenas de stealth ficarem mais tensas.

    A mecânica segue o padrão do primeiro, mas bem melhorada. Agora podem andar deitados ou até quando levas um tiro a força da bala atira a personagem para o chão e podes também disparar deitado ou te desviares. Tem também um pouco de parkour, o que fez com que as cenas de procurar itens ficassem mais divertidas.
    O jogo agora tem mais jump scares, combinou bem, pelo menos assustou-me mais que Resident Evil 2.
    E tem detalhes simples como a personagem ter medo de alturas então todas vezes que olhas de um sitio alto lá para baixo, a câmara sobe e dá menos zoom e a personagem começa a tremer de medo ou quando estás abrir cofres mesmo que não saibas o código consegues ouvir um pouco de diferença no som quando passas pelo número certo e tem mais coisas do mesmo género.

    Gostei das personagens novas, nenhuma me conquistou tanto quanto o Joel e a Ellie, mas são boas personagens. Um ponto importante que as pessoas reclamam sem motivo, é sobre a Ellie ser lésbica, não faz sentido nenhum reclamar sobre isso... Ela apenas é! Em nenhum momento o jogo foca nisso como um assunto para se discutir. Eu gostei bastante da relação delas, elas combinam uma com a outra dá logo para ver durante os diálogos. Duas pessoas diferentes mas que se completam, a relação delas é necessária até para o ritmo do jogo porque faz-nos sentir que ela é a única que faz a Ellie se sentir bem e ser sincera.
    Se pessoas reclamam/não gostam do jogo por causa da Ellie ser lésbica para mim não passam de homofóbicas.

    Eu particularmente gostei da história, obviamente é um assunto mais delicado porque cada um tem a sua opinião e o jogo toma decisões fortes e que mudam muito o ritmo do jogo, especialmente em relação ao primeiro. O motivo de ter gostado é porque o mundo de the last of us é duro e realista dentro daquilo que propõe, então as coisas que acontecem fazem sentido. É uma experiência diferente da maior parte dos jogos.

    Outra cena porque que as pessoas estão a comentar e fazer tantos meme sobre uma cena de sexo de 3 segundos?? Parece que nunca viram sexo num jogo, quando descobrirem the witcher 3 vão tentar processar a CD Projekt.

    TUDO QUE FALEI EM CIMA NÃO CONTÉM SPOILER SÓ A COMEÇAR DAQUI É QUE VAI TER

    -SPOILER- || A morte do Joel foi muito bem feita, foi cruel e forte o que nos faz sentir odeio e querer vingança, consigo entender o motivo das pessoas não gostarem desta cena, mas eu também adorava o Joel mas também entendo que ele merecia morrer porque quando salvou a Ellie no fim do primeiro jogo, ele matou muita gente inocente e literalmente destruiu a única possibilidade de uma cura então é normal haver pessoas atrás dele para apenas se vingarem especialmente a Abby já que ele matou o pai dela que era apenas um médico que queria salvar as pessoas.
    Depois tem gente que diz que o Joel não era burro ao ponto de dizer o nome dele ou confiar em estranhos. Parece que se esquecem que quem deu o nome dele foi o Tommy para tentar acalmar a Abby que para eles era apenas uma miúda assustada, e como o Joel estava cercado por infetados a única maneira de fugir era confiar na Abby que conhecia uma zona segura perto. E também mais para frente nós descobrimos que ela já sabia sobre o Tommy e o Joel fazia 4 meses, os Wolves sabiam quem o Joel e o Tommy eram, então confiando na Abby ou não, ia dar ao mesmo e também se esqueceram que o Joel ficou mais soft por viver rodeado de pessoas melhorou os seus problemas de confiança e frieza que tinha antes.
    Ao longo do jogo volta ao passado e sempre que o Joel aparece gera cenas mesmo boas e emocionais e faz nos lembrar o quão bom era o personagem e que ele apenas queria o bem para a Ellie||
    Realmente amei o jogo uma experiência incrível, acabei a tremer e posso dizer que é jogo da geração. Apenas calem se e joguem o jogo em vez de ler leaks com final falso

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only if this game was not spoiled, we would witness a great game, but because it is people don't enjoy this game there. As a developer it feels an immense pain in heart seeing your game being hated by so many people out in the wild. The game in which you worked so hard, took care of every little detail and ensured that everyone could play this game by giving upto 60 accessibility options being hated by such a large amount of public could make any man go feel worthless and sad. First of all kudos to all the people in Naughty Dog who worked day and night so hard to make such a great piece of art only to be hated by public just because it got spoiled. The ethics and morality of people have fallen to such great degree one can't imagine. People flooding with negative reviews, even when they haven't purchased the game and not experienced every character in it. I have even asked a man if he had played the whole game, to which he replied, "nah! I watched few you tube videos and this game is **** Despite living in a world where proverbs like Don't judge a book by it's cover or One man's trash another man's treasure are prevalent, but it seems they are just mere words, whose importance and meaning no one understand. There are many things in this world many events, that people disgraced and hated at first, but over time people came to knew that they were utterly wrong and hate themselves for criticizing for what that people or events which were so beyond that time that they were classified as total nonsense and madness. Flat earthers, people whenever they heard long time ago that earth was sphere by some fellow who knew what others can't ever think of in their life, just laugh at him and call him a mental fellow. But with time, the whole world knew they were wrong and he was right. But they can't do anything except sobbing and showing remorse, because that fellow is no more then. Heliocentric model of solar system is another example and story of Nicola Tesla and Edison is another. Over time we came to knew the reality, and how these people thought way ahead of their time, and gave us that knowledge which seemed like pure fantasy stuff.
    Last of Us 2 is one of them, and i can't explain how brutal but impactful and captivating this game is, and i have never played something like this ever in my life. The first game showed us the story that everyone wants, a loving bond between 2 people who don't know each other but still put their lives on tip of knife just to protect each other and have a happy ending. The second game continues on that impactful story, just this time we see a story that everyone gets. When it's pandemic, the world is destroyed to a extent in which last of us take place, their are no heroes and no villains. Life is equally harsh on everyone, and no one has got special powers so he can never die. When there is such a pandemic and you lost your loved one forever, you don't see who killed your loved one, you don't care how big noble person he is, it doesn't matter to you whether he was just defending himself, you just see him as your enemy and that whats this game is all about. Due to the pandemic, the people ethics have fallen to lowest level, that is they only care about whom they are familiar with, and that is the first level of caring. People watched the original game story from Joel's perspective, but if you make a player play the story of abby's only from part two, who has no prior experience or knowledge of part one, then for them Abby is a hero and Ellie and Joel are villain. Cause in this pandemic when everything is harsh and brutal, you only have your family and friends whom you can trust. And even when they die, you are just left with remorse and thirst for revenge. With no moral or crime system, people are free. And this is what part 2 shows us. It doesn't tell the story of one person only, but thousands and thousands of other people too, who are just looking for a reason to survive too, and it want to establish a fact that no one is a HERO, everyone is just doing, what a normal person would do on that particular event. The whole game is beautifully crafted. Being able to save myself from any kind of spoilers, i enjoyed the game to it's full extent and every second cinematic feels 100% true, except few sex scenes which could be true but were inappropriately added, which just soured my experience, everything else was what Naughty Dog is renowned for. I specially like the character Lev, and he just made me remembered of Ellie, who just protected herself and Joel, but this thirst for revenge only made her a monster. There are many things in game, which are so deep in meaning but can't be recognized by every player. Due to words limit i have to finish writing here only, but if you are one of those people who hate this just because of Opinions, then you are missing a great experience which you will never be able to experience on first place, as you are spoiled. My gratitude from deep heart to ND:)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People are honestly just mad because the game revolves around a lot between Ellie and Dina’s lesbian relationship. But honestly, if the developers want the audience to feel attached to a brand new character, that’s what they have to do. It’s a bit overboard for someone like me who doesn’t really see this much LGBT representation in media, but I see what they did and I respect it. If something happens to Dina, how do they expect the audience to feel something for her they same way if something were to happen to Joel or Ellie in the first game? There’s a lot of people that love the game, they’re just not the one searching the internet for spoilers and the opinions of others, and are currently still playing the game for THEMSELVES. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have just finished The Last of Us part 2 and have to say that it is a masterpiece in terms of graphics, gameplay etc. which is an important part of the credibility in this world. The Last of Us 2 biggest strength is not the aesthetics or the fun in killing zombies, it is about the relations with the characters. The Last of Us Part 2 is about revenge and the circle of hate, where moral, death and suffering plays a major role. Hate is something what not only the protagonist will encounter, but also the player himself. Even though it is a game what you play, it never felt like it, the emotions what you create after a certain plot twists was for me something what I have never felt before. I questioned everything in it, the violence, the motives and the results.

    The Last of Us Part 2 wants you to hate it, is highly controversial and that makes it so great. That's also why it has so many negative reviews, its not the typical hollywood movie style of telling a story, where the „hero“ and the „enemy“ is clear to see.

    This game is truly unique and I recommend it, beware you will not have fun „playing“ it.

The epilogue of the story was the part that made it in my mind one of the greatest games i have ever played. It really closed very well a cycle of revenge and also actions that had no turning back, to the point that makes you wonder how did we come to this and was this vengeance really worth it after all?

    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.
