    Настоящий плевок в лицо всем фанатам первой части! Настолько беспомощный и убогий сценарий, насквозь пропитанный феминистической и ЛГБТ-пропагандой, надо ещё поискать!

    I like this game. The graphics weren't really good, but the story is an amazing **** I play it for the second time to be able to judge everything from a different perspective and it is so difficult to play the game again. You have to kill nice people who ran into each other during the first game and it hurts .....

And what I can say is, The Last of Us 1 is a great game. Great. However, The Last of Us 2 is a game that is impossible to describe. It is a unique experience. Much better than 1 in every way. It is a brutal, credible game and brings us a reflection that I have never seen in any game, film or book. In short: this game is a masterpiece. It is the game that separates adults from children. It is a game that requires the player to have a more mature mindset. It is not a simple video game. The way the story was told is something unique. If you're reading this here and haven't played the game yet: play it, but be there and face it with an open mind and let yourself be allowed and be absolved by the narrative. I still can't get the game out of my head. It is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played in my life. And the ending is impressive, I cried like a boy and I was bad, very bad. Best of all, it opens up infinite possibilities for The Last of Us 3. It's not just a game, it's an experience. And this is a game about "Revenge", in this game there is no justice, just like the 1, everything is a matter of perspective.… Expand

    I would score the game 9/10, however I have completely different view on the game. I think the strongest point of TLOU2 is the story, and ability to understand two sides of conflict. On another hand I did not like the graphic and repetitive stealth killing. Wazzup!

    Fico triste em saber q o jogo teve uma nota tão baixa dos usuarios, mas não fico triste pela nota em si, eu fico triste pelas pessoas q não souberam entender o real significado do jogo e se entregar de coração e alma para onde o jogo estava tentando leva-los. Essa foi a primeira mídia de entreterimento q me faz chorar de vdd. Q jogo HUMANO pqp, com certaza o melhor q ja joguei na minha vida.

    To start I really questioning all the bad (0/10) user scores for this game. To disagree with story choices or “political agendas” isn’t enough to justify such a low score.

A game consist of multiple elements and If you cannot judge/review based on more than 1 of these elements (Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound, etc.) then please consider to not review at all as it’s not very helpful to anyone. As a long time Naughty Dog fan I’m still blown away. This could very well be the best game I’ve ever experienced and it’s undoubtedly the best PS4 game as of yet and this is coming from someone that’s played games since the 80’s and well over 100 PS4 games to completion including all other AAA games that is considered the best of the bunch. This is a story heavy game and it’s playing with completely different questions and emotions to what you’ve normally come to expect from a game. You may not like it since it dare to challenge pretty much everything we’ve come to learn and feel up to this point in the story but it’s very difficult to question the quality of the story telling independent if you agree with the direction or not. Me personally understand and respect the choices they made and the gambling they obviously did. It’s much darker than the original The Last of Us with a lot of violence and gore but it’s also very fitting based on the revenge theme of this game. It’s not there for the sake of being there but to further explain the darkest sides of humanity. It plays and feel like a Naughty Dog game and if anything I would say it’s an improvement over last installments. The AI is the best I’ve witnessed in a video game and it’s also an excellent stealth game even judging by Metal Gear Solid standards. It’s challenging (>=Moderate) without being frustrating and I never felt I was punished by the game or suffered failures due to anything but my own mistakes. The length of the game is longer than any of the other ND games and even though I prefer shorter and tighter games I never felt that it overstayed it’s visit. I’ve read a lot of debates about pushing feminist agendas but other than that I kept away from any spoilers or in detail reviews about the game, purely to have my own experience. I don’t agree with the critique related to politics and pushing agendas and if your whole world collapses if you witness anything HBTQ related, then I just feel sorry for you and the people around your black cloud. The graphics may very well be the best that is possible to achieve with current PS hardware and the sound design and music is a triumph as well. Everything that’s created is there to support the mood they want to achieve and according to me it hit all the right strings. If possible for you, then I recommend to use headphones while playing the game. This is a pure masterpiece and it got me to review my first ever game on Metacritic. 10/10 from Sweden.… Expand

    This could have easily been a 9/10 but the game overstays its welcome by the midpoint.
    Also, when it could have ended in a good way it once again pushes our patience to make the ending worse.

    Gameplay is the same as the original, nothing amazing but I honestly like it.
    Graphics are mind blowing, so if you like your games to look pretty, you can't complain here.

It's as if they wanted to punish us for buying the game. The story wasn't that great, it's a discount Hideo Kojima story, even comparing this to the legendary H.K is a stretch. Other than the poor story the gameplay was flat and uninspired. I'd rather replay the last of us remastered. It's pretty dated.… Expand

Now on this one, technically speaking, this game looks awesome, but TLOS was never about the graphic details and was always about the story. I understand that ND tried to portrait the neverending cycle of violence when someone pushes that violence on others (Joel and Ellie on many NPCs on the first game). But you (ND) have to understand that it was inevitable that I, as a gamer created bonds with these characters. You simply cannot get to kill Joel on TLOU2 with all that gore and get away with that. Also, it was totally unnecessary the push of a social agenda thru all of this. I'm deeply disappointed.… Expand

It's a conflicting game, that forces the player into uncomfortable situations and brutal scenes. Let's start off by saying that this game looks incredible, with environments that almost look like real life and characters where you can see distinctive hair strains, which is insane! Even small touches, like grass blowing with the wind, or how the blood from enemies mixes with water puddles, elevates this game beyond its competition. Likewise, the artwork is magnificent, striking a balance of gruesome realism with bleek environments and horrifying infected, and beautiful landscapes of grass fields and oceans, much thanks to the astonishing lighting. If we're talking presentation, music has also improved immensely from the previous game, relaxing the player in somber moments and hitting harder in intense scenes. Gameplay has also improved, with bigger levels, more weapons, more choices. New mechanics include rope swinging, wall gaps and even a jump button (!). The previously mentioned bigger levels mixed with the new mechanics makes the gameplay more complex and fun, though it could've been improved even more to blow the player away. The game also throws in dogs, that can sniff your scent and forces the player to move around in new manner, though if you really like dogs, this might take a toll on you. We're the game starts to split one's appreciation of the game is in the story. The story takes some bold and adventurous turns, making the experience harrowing and frightening at some occasions. Right from the getko, the game let's you know that it will not be like the predecessor and takes some big risks. It asks morally ambiguous questions that can make the player divided about some choices they have to make. The ending leaves a lasting impression on the player, and the more you think about it, the deeper its meanings become. The actors too do an incredible job, with standouts being reprising actors Ashley Jonson as Ellie and Troy Baker as Joel, and also newcomer Laura Bailey stealing the show as Abby. The game also makes the characters perform questionable actions and make the player experience them. The game isn't as concerned about what the player wants to do, as it is about how the characters react and behave in those situations, which makes for more claustrophobic and uncomfortable moments that don't give the player any choice, which is in this game's advantage. Where the game faults is in its pacing. The game shifts time spans very often and sometimes it can feel like a mess. Certain scenarios or time jumps occur and you wonder why that didn't happen before/after. This isn't the case for some time cuts, but one storyline in particular has this issue. It makes the enjoyment and surprises less interesting in some places. At some points the game can feel drawn out and last way too long, most notable in the middle section after the intro. Some of the new characters also feel underdeveloped. Dina is interesting as a character, but you don't learn a whole lot about her dreams and aspirations. Same goes for Jesse, who is underused and could've had some better writing in his presence. The story isn't bad, it's actually really great sometimes, it just needed some more cooking in the oven. It's also sad too see the multiplayer not returning. As all assets and development moved over to singleplayer, the online playing field got scrapped. While I think it's more important to see development improve and focus on the singleplayer, it's still disappointing to not see multiplayer included. In conclusion, The Last of Us Part II is a conflicitng experience. A lot of improvements and tweeks have been added to make the experience better, especially in gameplay and artistry, but at the same time the story is a mixed bag, with some incredible bright spots and some other spots that fall flat, due to pacing issues. Still, this is a great game that I would recommend to most people, because the experience over all is still enjoyable and fun and the discussions that can come from people talking about this game will engage people maybe even more to this game. While not as good and engaging as the first game, it still provides a lot of fun and interesting choices that will make the player question what is going to happen next and their own morales. I commend Naughty Dog for trying something new and different, even though they didn't always stick the landing.… Expand

    No es necesario crear la secuela de un gran juego simplemente por interés político y propagandístico.
    TLoU2 tiene el peor guión jamás escrito, sin sentido y forzado.
    Se creen muy transgresores por acabar con ciertos personajes como lo hacen y dar protagonismo a un personaje salido de la nada y quien nadie quiere, y para más inri encima: "tia, la venganza es super mala tia".

    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.
