    Wow... is amazing how long everybody waited for this game, about 7 years to make something great and special however they basically kill your hopes and dreams for what was advertised and said even by their own actors and ND itself, well they flush their saga and all that was special on the first game, I’m very disappointed for what fans got after many years and hopefully Sony will be smartWow... is amazing how long everybody waited for this game, about 7 years to make something great and special however they basically kill your hopes and dreams for what was advertised and said even by their own actors and ND itself, well they flush their saga and all that was special on the first game, I’m very disappointed for what fans got after many years and hopefully Sony will be smart enough to not support another TLOU game, how bad and how sad tbh.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The problem with the last of us 2 is that they killed the most beloved character that is Joel. And not only did Joel get killed, but they make you play as the character that kills him. And to top it off that ending was pure **** All that fighting and revenge, just to let the main person that kill Joel walk free Then metastatic giving good reviews like if they are the main player fan base.… Expand

    Потрясающее продолжение первой части. Графика на высочайшем уровне, несмотря на то, что нет Ray tracing. Скачешь на лошади, как будто реально в снегу, наступаешь на лёд и он трескается и ломается. Да в ходе прохождения ты привыкаешь к ней, но по началу у тебя некий шок.

    с отличным сюжетом , хоть немного затянутым . Музыка и саундтреки просто великолепны, иногда даже мурашки по коже    Потрясающее продолжение первой части.

    This game is a beautifully crafted title that deserves positive recognition. Naughty Dog outdid themselves, for which they made a high standard, and pushed the envelope in order to produce a stellar work of art.

Naughty Dog outdid themselves, for which they made a high standard, and pushed the envelope in order to produce a stellar work of art.

    Presentation:
    This game is a master-crafted work of art. From the largest of environments to the smallest of details, the artists and developers ensured that nearly every aspect of the world created received a surprising amount of attention. The world that they visually created feels lived in and helps the player feel grounded. The movements of the characters, the npcs, and how assets around both alter when interacted with is phenomenal and is often overlooked in most games. Examples of this: the way snow, dirt, mud, water moves when coming into contact. The way the aforementioned gets onto the characters' clothing and persons. How the environment acts in general: streams of water falling down are altered depending on wind physics, reflections appearing on reflective surfaces like walls, tvs, metal piping, zippers moving when in motion, clothing moving with the wind. All of this comes together in harmony to masterfully present a truly realised world that is believable and a joy to experience.

    Story:
    No spoilers. I'll say that the story is not as tight or singularly focused as the first. That's not a bad thing, but it might be if a player is going into the game expecting a story that is very similar to the first. There are flashbacks and whilst they do provide relevant backstory and are of interest, I can see how some might find the placement of the flashbacks to be a bit jarring at times and may not be as cohesive to the story-telling as one might like. Overall the story is a good one that invokes a lot of emotions. It is rife with depressing, difficult moments along with moments of lightheartedness and humour. In general and by the end, you do end up feeling a connection with the characters of the story. Even the minor ones, and even the ones who you thought you never would.

    This is a wonderful experience that took me nearly 38 hours to complete as I, a lover of the first game, enjoy the world of The Last of Us and don't mind taking my time with Ellie and the gang. I definitely recommend.    … Expand

    While there are many who dislike the story choices that Naughty Dog made regarding characters, events, or sexual orientation in the game, it remains a masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the original game.

Set in a hard world populated by hard people, there are no heroes here, only damaged people who do bad things in order to survive. The journey Ellie undertakes is one of revenge and anger, and the consequences of Joel’s decisions in the first game are core to the events of the sequel. The game is difficult to play, matching the trials the characters must endure. You’ll find yourself mentally exhausted, wondering when the hardships will end as you play. By the end you want it to be over, not because it’s a bad game but because the journey has been so difficult.

    Is it perfect? No. However Naughty Dog has created an excellent story that tells of damaged people who will go to extremes to protect the ones they love, even if that means killing those loved by others. It’s sad, it’s difficult, it will probably bring out emotions as few games can, but it’s necessary to tell the story of past decisions that have consequences. Play it and enjoy the story, and don’t worry about those that dislike it for making tough choices.    … Expand

Then to top it off, Ellie has a chance to kill she-beast and her little girl minion and doesn't because revenge is bad.

Прошел от начала до конца на одном дыхании. история нисколько не затянута, если проникнутся и играть по тем правилам которые задумывали при разработке. Это не ролевая игра, тут нельзя выбирать хороший,плохой,злой...
    выбор уже сделан... нужно отыгрывать...в некоторых моментах тяжело, в некоторых переступаешь через себя... в этом и есть контраст... это было сильно.
    Интересно, как много людей были просто не готовы увидеть другую сторону медали, и показали свою истинную натуру...

    To simply call this game a "revenge is bad" plotline is not only a disservice to the game's intricately woven dual narrative, but also to the range of progression video games have come.

Intense to say the least.I think, put simply, the polarisation that the story created reflects the IQ gap within the gaming community. If you can't separate your illogical emotional biases from the fictional characters and, as a result, think the plot is "bad", you're low IQ. Thanks Naughty Dog for the emotional rollercoaster and for taking risks.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man I waited 7 years for this game. And It was something I was looking forward to in 2020. Unfortunately 2020 is a cursed year. The Last of Us 2 was a huge disappointment. And I have a lot to say. The game was a beautiful and entertaining game. I had fun wondering around Seattle. And the opening of Jackson. But I am really disappointed with that I was sold on a game by the trailers shown and ended up with a different game entirely. My problems with this game is completely the story and the narrative it decided to tell. Right off the back 30 minutes into the game they kill off one of the most important characters of the Franchise. Joel! I was sold on a story I thought was going to be another adventure with Joel and Ellie dealing with their conflicts from where the first game left off. Instead I got a game that felt like It was a shove into the mud on a rainy day. Instead I got a game that was a false glimmer of hope of trying to gain justice and ended with more tragedy than triumph. I absolutely did not feel anything Naughty Dog was aiming for. And maybe it was just poor execution. But right after joel died all I wanted was to get vengeance and justice for his death and I was IN for that. But it kept dragging on and on and eventually you get into these missions where I feel like the game was trying to make you empathize with the Antagonist. Which is all well if you hadn't killed off an important character too soon. After that all I felt was lust to kill Abby. And I completely did not care for Abby's friends. Nor the kids she cared about. During all of the Abby drama. I just felt like I wanted her dead, her purpose meant nothing to me. And I was just trying to rush through her story to get back to trying to kill her. And then when you finally got back to it, You are let down. Ellie let's Abby Live. She finally could of had justice for Joel. And Ellie let her go.. How big of her. But that's not okay for a player who wanted to get justice served. Maybe others feel differently. But I was not happy at all with that decision. And to make it worse. Ellie lost some fingers sl she can't play the guitar Joel gave her and she lost everything. Dina was gone all of her belongings were put into one room just to be left to be forgotten. And that hurts. Joel dying was not the reason I was angry at this game. It was that it felt like the game didn't want to continue where the first game left off. Sure it did! But in poor poor flash backs just to establish a bunch of meaningless characters for a future game. It just felt like a huge disrespect to the first game. Unfortunately Just like this game. I will also leave it to be forgotten. I am just disappointed. Huge fan lf the franchise and my love was killed and I feel like the first game is meaningless now. Hopefully Part 3..if there is a part 3 ..makes up for what was unfairly done. I just hope I'm not sold on a game I won't get.… Expand

    The Last of Us 2 is a technical marvel that pushes the boundaries of cinematic gameplay blended with masterful storytelling. The game will leave you emotionally drained in the best way over the course of around 25 hours, during which you will be forced to make hard choices and reexamine your own personal morals.

    Probably one of the worst games I've played. Yes the story is bad and naughty dog has made a terrible decision. But alot of the problem is gameplay. The gun play feels like the same terrible 3rd person shooter that they've been doing. It feels like uncharted 1 still. Or even worse it feels like days gone

    One of the greatest games of this generation.
    I would have eliminated 4 or 5 hours of unnecessary gameplay, but the narrative, gameplay mechanics, graphics... are breathtaking.
    I seriously can't understand the problems with the narrative, the caracteres are human 'till the bone, the development of these is great... Dark and raw. Real.
    Without a doubt, the game should have gone on sale years later.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
