    What a ride.
    One of the best games i have ever played.
    I hated it at first, for the scenaristic turns the game makes you do, but it is an incredible and amazing experience that had let me go throught a lot of emotions. I stared at the screen for 10 minutes when i beat the game, and thought about it for a lot of weeks after that. I immediatly wanted to do a recond run, but it is so    What a ride.

    Honestly the best game I've ever played. A brutal post apo survival horror with a story line that makes you think - taking it's own turn away from the standard black/white morality in video games. Smooth and long gameplay. This game redefined storytelling, and did it with inclusive characters, it's possible! Keep an open mind and play it, you will be rewarded.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really appreciate that Naughty Dog did not just go the safe way and make a game that will please all the fans. I understand that this alienated many but the result is a piece of software that will stay very unique for a long time. Even if I was shocked by many of the events in the story and did not like all of them, I have to give a lot of credits to the developer for making me feel that way. It's a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end credits roll.

    Gameplay and audiovisual design is of course stellar. The game feels very polished and offers a fair amount of challenge.

    I understand that not everyone is happy with how the game ended but at the same time, I think is unfair to rate it so low just because you did not like it.    … Expand

    Being a story driven game, TLOU2 is one of the biggest disappointments of the current console generation. It's not that I don't agree with certain story decision. They just executed it poorly. NONE of the characters live up to the quality of the first game. The plot is manipulative, way too overcrowded with subplots and unnecessary love triangles. While exploring the game world and discovering all the tiny secrets is fun, I hated to see how the story unfolded.

    Some details to explain why I really didn't like the story:

    Abby: I get what they were going for. And I'm not mad because she kills Joel. But making me hate her for 15 hours and then make me play this character did not help. Maybe they should have made her playable earlier into the story so I can understand everything BEFORE things happen. Playing her that late into the game didn't make me care about her. I hated this character and after finishing the game I still do. Furthermore, this does not change the fact that Abby is a straight up psychopath! Torturing a guy to death that just saved your life, sleeping with your friends boyfriend, wanting to kill a pregnant woman (knowingly) and giving a **** about all her friends. But hey, she pets some dogs...

    Joel: We don't trust strangers....

    Elie: She knew Joel lied to her at the end of the first game, didn't she? Now she's mad? Oh and remember the lighthearted, optimistic and caring girl? She's gone! Still better than Abby as she shows immediate reactions to killing innocent people AFTER beging attacked.

    Jesse: Only likeable character gets shot for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Tommy: Survives a headshot.

    And what's wrong with pregnant women in this world?

    And so on...

    TLOU2 is a technical masterpiece and a fun game to play. But to experience the "story" is frustrating and angering. What were they thinking?    … Expand

Graphics is probably the best ps4 has to offer, sound effect are superb, and the characters and the story are GREAT! Don't listen to those trolls, the story is pretty strong and deep, and the character Abby is even better than Ellie. Yes, i said that… Expand

    The guys at Naughty Dog have gigantic balls! The story is tough to swallow and in big parts very depressing. And that is good. This is not just a game, it is an experience. The game takes a deep dive in what humans are, what we are capable off and how our flaws can misguide us, no matter how good a person you are. Game wise also excellent.

    Don’t get distracted from what you expected from the story or even worse because they dared to show flawed humans or people who are different than yourself. This game shows what games could be and should be, if they want to be challenging. Play it, you will love it. If not, play it again and again. At least you will learn from it, to grow as a human. That says a lot about how beautiful this game is.    … Expand

    Despite all the negative reviews of this game, I liked it. This is a sad story about a grown-up Ellie and her life, a story of impulsive revenge that has no support. Both Abby and Ellie are both great. In the end, Ellie realizes that by taking revenge and killing Abby, she will do the same as Abby did with Joel. Definitely game of the year despite the burning farts of stupid ****

    Несмотря на все негативные обзоры этой игры, она мне понравилась. Это грустная история о повзрослевшей Элли и её жизни, история о импульсивной мести, не имеющей опоры. Что Эбби , что Элли - обе молодцы. В конце Элли понимает, что отомстив и убив Эбби, она поступит так же как Эбби с Джоэлом. Определённо игра года не смотря на горящие пуканы тупоголовых олдфагов.    … Expand

    Nothing new in the gameplay. The story wants to be surprising but in the bad way. I like the inclusion of certain collectives. Good graphics but the trailers looks better than the game. I think I'm not buying a game from Naughty Sony again...

    I wasn't expecting to see consequences for my actions in the first installment, and I'm positively surprised with the outcome. This game challenges the standard persona you take on when playing games where you have to kill others. Characters (both friends and foes) felt flawed and like they were all dealing with their own issues and hopes as well.

This game challenges the standard persona you take on when playing games where you have to kill others. Characters (both friends and foes) felt flawed and like they were all dealing with their own issues and hopes as well. Something I miss in other games of this type. It feels more inclusive as well, without feeling performative. In the interactions I saw bits of myself or people I know reflected, which was nice.

    I very much enjoyed the gameplay as well. It kept the things I liked from Part 1 and added some new quality of life improvements.

    Another strength are the plethora of accessibility options. While I don't need any specific accommodations with regards to my gameplay I still found some functions there useful to use. (Stuff like automatically picking up items, for example). This helped improve my fun in playing.

    I would absolutely recommend this game if you're someone who likes a nuanced narrative where your ideas may get challenged. If you prefer a game where you don't want to think about morality and want to shoot at stuff this may not be the game for you, and that's fine too.    … Expand

    Really great game. Most male gamers have fragile egos and think all women in games are created to satisfy their sexual fantasies, since they can't get any IRL. So, when they see one that doesn't, they rage.

Это история не только Нила Дракманна, она давно стала общей, фанатской. И не стоит удивляться огромному количеству негатива, который сейчас льётся везде на игру. Никто не может принимать такое отношение к любимым и родным персонажам (издевательство), особенно ради псевдоморального кино, где Дракманн продвигает свои идеи, которые не обязаны, кстати, работать в реальной жизни. В целом считаю, что высокую мораль лучше продвигать через позитив, здесь же только тьма и горе. Поэтому про Нила можно говорить не самые лестные вещи... Игра выступает энергетическим и эмоциональным вампиром. Да, по сути, это очень серьезная и взрослая история, непривычная для видеоигр. Но она тяжелая и депрессивная, после прохождение оставляет пустоту. Персонажи красивые, но их судьба ужасна, Дракманн мог быть добрее. 5 из 10… Expand

    In the beginning, I did not like where the story was headed but eventually, I started to like the story. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay was not bad. This game, in my opinion, is not for everybody and is only for players who are willing to spend long hours every day in order to finish it. Overall, one of the best games on the PS4.

The problem is not the coldness and cruelty of that world, but the lack of purpose. Revenge for revenge is lost in this. There is no nobility or overcoming or an honorable quest and ascension. There is only the stupidity of two protagonists fighting each other in a bloody moral degradation. Understand: There is no use for technical excellence in an empty background. A game that leaves nothing at the end besides a bitter taste in the mouth and nothing to renew hope. They lost the chance to do something historic in order to be realistic. There are thousands of examples of descent overcoming, with self-knowledge and psychological maturity.… Expand

Cuando pensás que ya no hay nada que contar, te sorprende de diferentes formas y es todo una incógnita con un final INCREÍBLE. En mi opinión, una obra de arte este juego, que gusto fue jugarlo.

But the game definitely has downsides such as joel's death timing and the amount of time we play as abby. I think it was a bit dragged and felt like the game directors cared more about abby as her guns were way better than ellie's . But the one thing i hated was the fight in the cinema. I hated playing as abby and beating the **** outta Ellie. But he game has so many good sides and those made tha game enjoyable to me. The gameplay , the graphics and the flashbacks of ellie and joel was so good. All in all, i liked it but it definitely could have been better.… Expand

    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.
