    The last of us 2 is a good game it has cons, but more pros. Everything related to the game-play, graphics, small details, voice acting, music is simply gorgeous.

    И так. Из-за низких оценок пользователей и бурной критики игры, я и купил эту игру. И скажу я вам, что как черствый человек не каждая игра может достать из меня эмоции, а вот эта смогла. Я понимаю почему эта игра получила такую критику. 1. ЛГБТ (так все кричат), хотя я ничего ужасного тут не увидел. То есть группа геи,лесбиянки и так далее в поп культуре вам норм, а тут это мерзко. 2.И так. Из-за низких оценок пользователей и бурной критики игры, я и купил эту игру.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing atmosphere and a great ending. But the second part of the game, is in my opinion a little bit to long. All in all ist The Last of Us Part II one of the best games I ever played. The death from Joel is unexpected and very hard. At first I was very angry about this decision. After a few days, I think that was the right decision from Naughty Dog. I can´t understand the bad reviews. In may opinion Naughty Dog did a good job.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand the quality and sound, dubious, and in the video itself Do not judge strictly because this is my first post on the site ...
    Perhaps this is all that needs to be done to make our impressions impressive. You need to play this movie, but why did the developers go for such a risky scenario, why did they say that the game has improved NPS intelligence, but in fact these are all the same stupid zombies / bandits from the first part of the game. Why we were deceived in the Trailer, why in the game we played in a community of people. I want to break the most basic (in my opinion).

    Why was it necessary to add so much LGBT and feminism?
    I want to say, when I watched the game for the first time, I didn’t notice anything that the hand of feminism could touch and LGBT people don’t want to speak for everyone, but I really didn’t see that agenda, someone can argue and say that it’s here, but please take other games that were made a year or 2 ago and you will notice that TloU2 is the smallest propaganda that you have ever done, you have the right to challenge me because I do not pretend to be the role of the most inattentive person (ready to answer any a comment)

    Why did you need to say that you humanized the bandits, gave good intelligence to zombies and dogs?
    Well, here you can argue, because I did not come across the moments where the bandit / dog / walker did, some kind of nonsense, but everyone perceives it in his own way. BUT I really noticed that they really tried on Ellie, I don’t know why, but attacking her from behind playing for Abby was very problematic, because she moved super fast, and attacking can only be done from behind and this complicated the task of attacking her (personally for me) we can discuss that the developers worked very well on the sound of the shot / objects and other details. But this does not make sense, because anyone who watched / played could safely say that the game looks at the level of 2020, I did not want to say it for everyone, but it's hard to argue here.

    Why make such a finale?
    And here you can discuss, someone really didn’t like the final game and I won’t even argue because it’s obvious that the final game was ruined, but! The game could be continued, for example, to make an addition, where did Dean, Tommy go or where did Ellie go? All this could be continued thanks to the ending that we got, but from recent news, it turned out that the developers of the game (let's call it that) will not continue the story of Ellie or Abby doesn’t matter who, but the additions thanks to that ending could be made and I assure you if so many people bought the game, then they would buy the continuation of the story, I assure you of any character (I know that the developers may continue the game or will continue, no need to breed discussion!)

    But! That's not all, the game could have been done better if it had been! (my point of view) we were given the choice at the end of the game to kill Abby or to leave her alive and here we could safely end the story, but unfortunately we have what we were given. Where you can only wait for further news from the Naughty Dog team    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games I have every played, a definite masterpiece. I played this game back to back with Last of Us Part I and not able to put down the controller. The main characters have very intricate personalities and at the same time predictable and unpredictable behavior, just like any of us. Everybody in the game is imperfect and evolving or devolving depending on the arc.

    Acting, photography, sound, and music was impeccable creating an incredible immersive experience.

    There is a lot of "treasure hunting" and it can break the climate and pace. I recommend leaving deep scavenging to a second play though. When you are rushing to save lives, stopping to grab artifacts is just wrong. It is amazing that the game tackles even that. I recall taking time to go around to find an artifact for a trophy, the NPC would sarcastically say that it was waiting for you. Don't recall the exact words, but it is striking.

    It is sad the game frustrated so many people for various reasons. Maybe i was immune to that because I absolutely do not go after news, reviews or watch videos about the game prior to playing. The only media I have watched was the official release videos from Naughty Dog and Sony. I knew nothing that could spoil my experience.

    Like most people, I almost deleted the game upon watching the gore death of Joel. That was a sucker punch, the feelings were a mix of hate, frustration, sadness. But i kept playing, I wanted to make sense of what was going on. As the game concluded, the negative emotions were gone and I feel Joel is finally at peace with himself and Ellie.

    Owen was such an underrated protagonist. He was the only person that could talk Abby out of it, but out of vengeance and love for Abby, he decided not to antagonize. I don't think he regretted been part of Joel's murder, but he made sense of the world, decided to value life and inspired Abby to change.

    This is one of the few games that make sense of violence and guns. Murder is just gratuitous and easy. It is the solution for every problem humanity has. And that is at the center of both parts. Joel refusing to let Ellie die for a chance to save humanity, was the first spark to change status quo. It repeats during Abby and Ellie's arc when they finally realize that violence and killing just leaves you alone and mentally disturbed. Abby saving the seraphite kids and Ellie sparing Abby's life is redemption for the human race. The only way forward.

    I wish more people would see the game in the same light was I did. It was the most emotional gaming experience ever. I will never forget it.    … Expand

    TL;DR: this game is a misunderstood masterpiece that will help revolutionize and elevate the entire video game industry. The writing, acting, music, cinematography, and gameplay seamlessly coalesce into an unforgettable meditation on trauma, grief, and (de)humanization. In doing so, it holds a mirror up to the player and encourages them to reflect and grow.

    This is my first time writing a game review and, as I do so, the current user score is a 4.7/10. As I read through these reviews, my impression is that most of the negative reviewers are not yet at a stage in their life where they can appreciate a game like this.

    Rather, I suspect that the people most inclined to appreciate this game are those who can tolerate and understand that:
    [1] sometimes people you like will make choices that you wish they hadn't made.
    [2] the world, especially in TLOU, can be savage and unjust -- sometimes people you care about will suffer in ways that feels undignified, unexpected, and/or unfair.
    [3] some people are romantically attracted to people of the same gender and/or identify or express themselves in ways that don't align with "traditional" gender expectations. That doesn't make them any less of a human being, even if it causes you discomfort.

    Me parece muy bien juego , no le doy un 10 porque los protagonistas del original pasan a un Segundo plano , pero la historia considero que han arriesgado y nos han dado algo que nadie se esperaba , en lo personal me funciona y da una visión más realista de los personajes,pues no todo debe ser maravilloso y bonito , a veces la vida es injusta y cruel

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would just talk about the story because the sight speaks for itself. The game is amazing because of the transfer of emotions. That’s exactly why there are plenty of negative comments. You need a certain emotional intelligence to understand. As we accompany Ellie's crash throughout her revenge. From murder to murder. The masterfully cut back memories. From half the game, we also understand and feel why Abby did what she did and we follow along as she loses everything for a revenge. It was also a good move that Lev would have a 'conscience.' As their acquaintance changed Abby. When he finally leaves Ellie alive and comes to live with Dina. there as he cannot let go of this situation from his thought and torments him. Finally, when they both get to the end, they lose everything that is important to them because of revenge. We got a great structure and finally got a game of giving and teaching something. That’s why it doesn’t come in for people with low emotional intelligence. Because they don't understand what he was talking about. They just went and fired. All esters GREAT WORK NAUGHTY DOG.… Expand

People change, people falter and that's the idea that I feel the game uses to afflict us, that's the magic of the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally liked the last of us 2 it shows us a way ellie copes with Joel’s death and how she begins as a cute innocent girl to a toughened rough fighter because of what she’s seen and experienced and it shows us a lot of how Joel impacted her and how she will avenge him, certain parts could’ve been done better and could’ve showed more of Joel and made it more emotional but in short, I liked it a lot

    I liked a specific scene where Joel sings to Ellie, because the last words Joel heard from ellie was ‘I’ll try to forgive you’ and then you see him smile with happiness and it makes u feel that even tho he died he died knowing that he was forgiven by Ellie and that’s all he wanted, he was scared to share his emotions to people since his daughter died but with Ellie how could he not since he saw so much of his daughter in her. The last of us 2 isn’t a bad game it just could’ve been better, they tried something new and in some areas it succeeded but it others it failed but what u need to see is this is possibly the best scene in the entire game as you see the same bond they shared in the first game take place here and it just puts a smile on your face how much he cared for her, overall a 9/10 game but their relationship puts a smile on everyone’s face. :’)    … Expand

    This was phenomenal storytelling for me. Yes, I hated that Joel was killed. But, this story ends up being about so much more. It’s about found family, tragedy, and revenge—and how far characters are willing to go. It’s about understanding two sides of the same coin. It has dark moments, and some of the most beautiful and touching moments. If you’re on the fence about the game, I highly recommend it if you love storytelling. This game deserves so much more than the flak it’s currently getting. Look to the critics for actual insight, and not to the hate campaign on this site.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
