    The Last of Us Part Two is a flawed masterpiece. The gameplay is very polished version of the first game and is absolutely incredible. The game has some of the best graphics you can get on a console game. The story is very good if you just give it a chance. At times the pacing can be poor, but overall it's a very good story!

    В техническом плане игра бесподобна. В плане сюжета, если не сравнивать с первой частью, в принципе нормально. Самый большой недостаток избыток феминизма и гомосятины, почему нельзя было найти "золотую середину".

Yes, the game is not perfect, but it deserves at least 7-8 points. It’s interesting to re-run the game a second time, it’s very good and I’m sure that if the third part is announced and the Naughty dog ​​takes into account the mistakes of the last game, then it is the best game of the year. Now the game lacks random events that can happen to the hero during the game, it can be cheaters who ask for help (as in 1 game) or the person really needs help and you can take him into the squad, cold, energy from the character and help allies in the city, the choice that does not affect the plot, but only on the perception of the game. Remove trash bins, fill the card since they made it so big and not make story holes, if only the hero survived for further decoupling. In the third part, developers need to touch on how I consider the value of friendship and caring for each other and then the game will come out even better! 10/10… Expand

    提前被网上的评论剧透了结局。玩的时候很忐忑，以为是坨屎，通关后体会到是一部艺术性极高的作品。
    就像一部超级大片，宣传成《阿凡达》《流浪地球》，观众看完发现其实是《太空漫游2001》《银翼杀手》，能不引起巨大争议、甚至被说是欺骗观众么。

    Amazing life experience. It's probably the most realistic game I have ever play, a grim reality. Were people are humans and commit mistakes that they regret by time. It's not the tipical Hollywood plot where heroes are good and villians bad and the hero always wins and does the right thig. That is why all the hait, many gamers are not use to this tipe of stories.

    Gamplay is tight and responsive, with thrilling and sometimes straight panicking moments, but in the studios efforts to make the story shocking, it falls flat, and becomes a generic revenge story which isn't bad in itself, but the way it was executed and written leaves A LOT to be desired.

    This game does not deserve the negative review bomb it received. The gameplay is still as solid as it was in the first game. And although not much has changed and some people argue that there is not much innovation to detect: why fix something that isn’t broken?

The gameplay is still as solid as it was in the first game. And although not much has changed and some people argue that there is not much innovation to detect: why fix something that isn’t broken?

    The stealth aspect of the game and the A.I. of the enemies remain still very well implemented. This leads to some very interesting battles and epic fights. Most of the times intelligent and tactical planning is what’s required, sometimes you just need blazing guns and every resource you can find to survive. Item crafting possibilities have been expanded to some degree. Some new enemy types have been introduced.

    While playing the game, I did experience doubt and aversion at times about the directions the story pushed me in as a player. That being said, in the end it all made sense. At the end of my first playthrough, I understood what the writers were pointing out to and what insights they meant to provide me. Taking such bold moves and choices in the storyline to implicitely deliver the messages (eg. revenge will get you nowhere) deserves credit. Especially since the game’s story works as a mirror to you as a player. It challenges your own feelings and dispositions. I therefore think the storywriting is actually quite solid. Just like the first game the story delivers an emotional experience and at times really pulls you into it. In comparison to the first game, the story arch is a bit less straightforward and deliberately split up into two distinctive parts and timelines. Therefore it can be a bit more confusing than the first game.

    Graphics are simply stunning and pushing the ps4 to its limits. Sound design is brilliant. Especially when playing using a headphone, new levels of sound details can be found.

    Finally the designers have put lots of effort in accessibility of the game for people with visual- or other physical impairments.

    Of course the games also has some flaws: some of the fights can become a bit tedious and repetetive, especially towards the end. Also, I think the game could have been a bit shorter. Yes I mean that, 20-25 hours max would have been just as fine. On some occasions there were some dialogues that were either unnecessary or took a strange turn. At some points characters popped up or left quite suddenly with no good or believable explanation.

    All in all I honestly think this game deserve a very solid 8 at least. Pushing it to a 9 here to compensate somewhat for the unfair review bomb, mainly based on leaked footage and people    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get into story, first off gameplay is **** amazing. A lot similar to the first game but with more different moves such as jumping in the air to kill an enemy below and more. Weapon upgrades as well as skill upgrades are also nice and great with character mannerisms. When it comes to story, well just like the first game is a masterpiece. The new cast of characters are just as well written as the ones before, each presenting different sides of Ellie & Abby just as much as the world of The Last Of Us. It is definitely a dark story but in a way that is a fitting sequel, the writing in this game at first glance looks quite risky but it works. Showing in depths Ellie’s regression throughout the game as she becomes the immoral man some call a monster, Joel and Abby as she finally finds her father’s murder believing killing him would end her pain but no a part of regretted what she has she done and kills another part of herself as she carries her guilt which at first even goes further and reach Yara & Lev as seen in her dream, but she is able to find her way in the end with Lev, this is her redemption arc. Ellie struggles to live and not do anything about her Father’s death so she goes on a vengeful journey eliminating all WLF members that entered Jackson before until she reaches Abby. I love how they tease us the players with a happy ending for both Ellie & Abby and just get swept away fast reminding us this is The Last Of Us. For Abby and Lev is the rattlers getting them outta nowhere and torturing them and for Ellie her PTSDand Trauma gets stronger and stronger eating her soul but then Tommy arrives reveals where Abby is and Ellie goes out one more time for Revenge in the end she spares Abby because she was able to resist and see Joel and herself in Abby and Lev as well understands why she did this in the first place. Ellie still has her humanity, she realises this is not what Joel would want for her, he would want her to be free forgive let go of him and move on. She comes to the conclusion she went this path trying to be like him and it did no good for the people around her. I Hope we get a Part III where is about Ellie’s redemption arc. Thank you Neil Druckman and the whole team behind this, already beat the game twice right now on holiday can’t wait to get back home and play through a 3rd time but on Survivor this time.… Expand

    The slightly longer version: This game is AMAZING. No story, especially in video games, has made me cry, think, and reflect like this one has, not even the first game! It is not an easy story to swallow, as it’s heavy-handed, brutal, and complex. But once you start connecting the dots, it becomes one of the best stories in any medium ever! The feeling of “connecting the dots” reminds me of Shutter Island starring Leo DiCaprio. The first time around, it’s kinda confusing until the big twist comes. But if you decide to go for a second watch, everything starts to mean something more, and you see all the inter-woven stories a lot better.

    And with such a high quality game, why wouldn’t you want to play it again (besides the emotional trauma and sadness it’ll probably give you)? It’s outstanding in every way. Story and Characters? Excruciatingly Amazing and Human. Extremely immersive. Will probably leave you sad, hollow and empty by the end.

    Gameplay? A smoother, more refined and expanded version of the OG TLOU’s formula. You can be a lot more creative with this one. Melee Combat and Gunplay feel and play amazing and Stealth gives off MGSV vibes.

    Technical stuff and Presentation? Top. **** Notch. The graphics are straight out of a PS5, save for the 30fps. The level design? The closest to perfection so far. Acting and animations both in-game and cutscene? The best we’ve had, bar NONE. World Building thru collectibles, dialogue and the subtle details in the environment? On par with, or maybe even better than, RDR2. Polish? Very few glitches and no game-breaking ones.

    It's slighty above average. The graphics look amazing and the atmosphere is thrilling, but the gameplay feels clunky at times. The biggest flaw of the game is the story. Too many plot holes, accompanied by decisions from the main protagonists that make little to no sense. If you are a fan of the first game and love it (just like me), then i would advise you to buy it but at a discount.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even if the attention to detail is amazing in this game and the graphics are gorgeous for a ps4, the story was a huge letdown for me. Joel's death was anticipated from the first game, taking the fact that he basically butchered entire groups and some survivor would come to take revenge. The problem is that could've been done better than setting a game because a pointless npc from the first game died at the end. Abby's character is a problem in many ways:
    1. a woman would not look like that in a million years without steroids treatment 2.everything she is doing is pure psychotic, and it represents that this character has seriously mental issues
    3. Her companion, Lev(Lilly) is annoying just because screams : I'm a boy not a girl, please accept me! A good character is known for it's personality, not for sexuality. The last part with the rattlers is totally pointless : Ellie abandons it's girl for an old revenge story but when is about to kill abby she stopped because, joel wouldn't do the same thing, forgetting that we talk about a guy that butchered an entire military group to save her life.    … Expand

The constant flash backs for those characters plus the inability to skip those scenes makes the game drag on in agony. Lastly, the story being told came at the expense of dumbing down the original characters to the point that they were completely out of character. There were so many plot holes that it gave me flash backs of the last season of GoT. The ending just leaves you thinking "uh ok, really? what a waste of my time"

    The graphics and game play was great, but in my humble opinion its not worth your time. This game is a glorified over hyped polished turd. I wanted to love this game so bad and gave it a lot of thought before posting this review. The developers try so hard to manipulate how you feel in this game that it just comes across as deceptively cringy at best. I strongly believe a game should let the player decide for themselves at critical moments in the storyline and have a choice to act and feel the way they interpret the story. The Witcher3 is a great example of this choice given to the players at critical moments.    … 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...
