    Excellent continuation from tlou 1, dunno why people rated it low, incredible graphics for a almost 8 year old PS4, amazing what naughty dog did with this hardware.

    I loved the story! Don't listen to the hate, the game mechanics were perfect, story was captivating about what humans do in desperate situations. It makes you think about whether or not vengeance is really worth it in the end.

    Masterpiece. I need rehab after this emotionally brutal journey. But in the end - Thank god that everything was as the authors intended, and not as many frustrated players expected

    This game exceeded all my expectations. The atmosphere, the narrative, the gameplay mechanics. Such a well rounded game with a diverse cast and a very telling story on the consequences of revenge

    Fantastic sequel, every bit as good as the first. I have no idea what game players who are giving poor reviews actually played, but it couldn't have been TLOU2. This is a must play without a doubt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The review bombing for this game is atrocious.

    The story of the first game has been done before. But it is done so well. The script and the acting were incredible.

    The sequel is the same but maybe even better.

    First off though the graphics are incredible. The game does what Naughty Dog does best. Every environment is cluttered. There's no boring empty spaces. Every inch of the environment is thought out. The story telling from the environments sequential art is unparalleled. The animations again are better than any other. The way the characters interact with their surroundings. Not other studio does it this well.

    The gameplay is near perfect. The shooting, stealth and exploring mechanics are practically the same as in the first just tweaked to play better. There are 3 main additions to the gameplay though that make the game feel different to its predecessor. First is the prone button. A much needed manoeuvre for this type of game. Second is the dodge button. It perhaps makes things a little easy but it makes up for that by being amazingly satisfying. Third is the ability to quickly squeeze through gaps during conflict. This is something I see many games taking inspiration from going forward. Where it does fall apart slightly is the few glitches or AI not acting how it should. But name a game that's never had a glitch.

    Back to the story.

    SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT!!!

    Killing off a main character is so prevalent in TV shows and movies nowadays. So why is it such a big deal cause this game has?

    The game takes you everywhere emotionally. Happy, sad, angry but most importantly uncomfortable.

    Making you play as a character that eventually kills Joel is just a kick to the crocth. And that's part of the games genius I think. It constantly annoys you with its decisions. But it's done so well you can't help but be in awe of it. The way Joel is killed at first angers and disappoints you. You think "really? That's how it goes down?". It's only later on do you understand how good.it is. One of the three major things talked about the first game is an even bigger deal than we thought. Joel killing the innocent doctors at the end. It comes back to haunt him. And the player. You hate Abby for what's she's done. And you're fully onboard with Ellie's revenge. Until a crazy and risky Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty style character switch. You think you're nearing the end of the game (both narratively and because of the length of the first installment of the franchise) but then it does a huge switch up. You're only half way through the game and now playing through the timeline of the game that have already happened but through Abby's perspective. And at first it's unwelcome. How could Naughty Dog do us dirty like that again? It doesn't feel right playing as Abby. You hate her. But then... You start to understand. You start to sympathise with Abby, even like her. Even root for her. That might be a narrative done before. But it is near perfect in its excitation. And that's what sets it apart.

    The closest thing I can think of this happening to a well known character is Jaime Lannister. Overall I can't state how could this game is. It is a masterpiece. It is an example of why games absolutely can be art and not just entertainment. And it's one of my favourite pieces of art I have ever had the pleasure of consuming.

    It might not be my favourite game of all time. I can't make my mind up. But if you wanna argue that it is the greatest game of all time, I don't feel like I have anything valid to argue with you against it.

    Too bad they buried a very good game. Unfortunately it is impossible to make a refund as in steam, I am very disappointed, not sure if I can go through the game to the end. I am a very strong fan of the first part and probably went through it more than 12 times, but the second part is a shame. Boring is not an interesting story, but SJW activists will be happy with 10/10.

    Очередная компания прогнулась под "авторитетное " мнение фемок. ОТЛИЧНО! The last of us была великолепной игрой , но увы , достойного продолжения она не получила. Ставлю 10/1000 жирных фемок.

    Nice graphics & scenery & very polished but that's about it. Generic survival horror gameplay with barely any thought that was put into puzzles, story is utter garbage & basically a middle finger to the fans of the first game, all that to push their woke narrative, Naughty Dog used to be one of the best devs what happened? What changed?...

    Я прошёл и заверяю, что игра отличная!
    Если не привязываться к персонажам первой части и принять то, как они переосмыслили её содержание, а так же то, что сделали с персонажами, игра очень вероятно зайдёт вам!
    Во первых TLOU2 не разу не скучная, всё время пробивает на эмоции за счёт сюжета и грамотной режиссуры. Геймплей просто невероятный! В основном из за больших локаций, а так же    Я прошёл и заверяю, что игра отличная!

    Во первых TLOU2 не разу не скучная, всё время пробивает на эмоции за счёт сюжета и грамотной режиссуры. Геймплей просто невероятный! В основном из за больших локаций, а так же разнообразных механик (в это надо поиграть самому, чтобы понять).
    Главный минус как по мне это структура. Я бы сделал игру короче, тогда она была бы куда насыщеннее и более понятна сюжетно (Проблему структуры сложно объяснить без спойлеров. Скажу так, вы дважды будете ждать концовки, но игра не закончиться и будет идти ещё долго, а ты уже хочешь посмотреть финал, тебе интересно!).
    В общем игра шикарна, если не проходить её на ютубе и ожидать того, что первая часть будет переосмысленна.
    Достойное ли это продолжение первой части? НЕТ! Первая TLOU была хороша сама по себе и ей не нужно было продолжения!
    Хорошая ли это игра? ДА!    … Expand

    Shame on Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog for butchering the last of us, I fully completed the game and the whole story is utterly unbearable bad... With unlogical choices from the main characters. Technically game play and creativity the best I have played, but whoever came up with the story needs a golf club to the head.

    Playing through this game is a tense, harrowing experience. Without going into spoiler territory, bold decisions were made in the telling of this story - it's a testiment to Naughty Dog's skill that they attempted it and, overall, pulled it off.

    Naughty Dog follows the Disney model : a company high on its own success that loses its way and begins to actively insult its fanbase, all in the name of virtue-signalling.

    The Last of Us 2 is the latest entry in developers Naughty Dog's impressive resume of titles that span years.

Perhaps unlike their previous games this one is mired with ballsy decisions to its storytelling element, that while divisive, also demonstrates their aptitude to taking a risk and for that I applaud them. Story wise, you'll see shocking things happen to mire any well told novel or film, but in an age where video games have lacked a source of complex and ultimately frightful storytelling it will either stay with you long after you finish the lengthy campaign or leave you with a disdain for the franchise. Either way you look at it, it's quite telling of the path the writers have taken to differentiate their product from the rest and personally it's a home run. In terms of presentation, The Last of Us 2 is a monster. The graphics are by far the best I've witnessed on any platform, even if the PC is my personal choice. Character animations, level detail, facial expressions - it's the combination of outstanding technical direction and art style. The voice acting is absolutely top-notch and the music in certain scenes heartbreaking. Presentation wise, The Last of Us 2 is a perfect product. Gameplay remains largely the same as the first, with some nice improvements to add variety to the game like the ability to jump and swim. They're not groundbreaking by any means and sticks a bit to closely to the formula, but it feels enjoyable thanks to the many great action set pieces. I would have loved to see the gameplay evolve a lot more, but what's here is still great.

    Overall: The Last of Us 2 features fantastic gameplay moments that alongside its presentation will mesmerize you to its world. Its story will be a hit or miss for many as it takes some realistic approaches that in the real world make sense, but in a market where the majority may not be used to gripping story-telling similar to other forms of media, it will rub a lot of people the wrong way. And in a way, I wouldn't have it any other way.    … Expand

    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]
