Would recommend people to play the game for themselves and make up their own minds rather than listening to others opinions.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game included a fluent mechanic to play, I liked that a lot. I'm 32 yo I'm a gamer since I was 10, and I don't think this is a good story, they make you get so angry at Abby and then they make you play as if you were her. I understand the message here but you can't simply be sympathetic with her because she was so cruel with Joel just for revenge. Ellie's story is very different, Joel looked at her as the daughter he once had, furthermore he cared about her more than itself and he protected her from the fireflies. On the other hand the Abby's dad did not even answer if he would sacrificed Abby for saving humanity suggesting that he would never do that (obviously). There are many differences in both stories, and I totally refused to play as Abby.
    I played part 1 and they made a connexion with me, now what I feel is a total aversion for this game, I feel I lost my money because I don't wanna play as Abby and I never will, and that's a half game. To make things worse, when playing as Abby you fight back with Ellie and you have to win, that´s sh...t (sorry).

    For a movie maybe this plot is fine, but not for a game where you project yourself in a character, ND did not understand that and now I have a game half played, and a total reluctance to buy part III or a DLC (if ever exists) or see the sitcom.

    For Neil, we don't deserve sarcasm here, it's totally disrespectful for your consumers.    … Expand

    A vengeance story done bad. Storyline repeats itself and completely misses the point. Other than that the atmosphere, graphics, cinematics and editing are top notch.
    ps: If this game was an interlude of some sort, or a prequel/sequel some far off timeline with different characters, ppl would embrace this game with open arms.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепная с технической и геймплейной стороны игра со спорным сюжетом все же мне понравилась. Как и было с первой частью, финал этой игры также оставляет весьма неоднозначные ощущения, однако вряд ли я скажу, что она лучше первой части. Они сильно поменяли уже известных персонажей, а новые слишком слабо проработаны, хоть на них сильно сместили весь основной акцент, что как по мне было ошибкой, и их сложно полюбить так же, как и старых. Тем не менее, сюжетные сцены, впрочем как и вся игра, проработаны невероятно красиво и не могут порой не вызывать сильных эмоций. Даже когда убили абсолютно бесполезного персонажа для сюжета это все равно пробивало на некоторые, пусть и слабые, но эмоции.
    У авторов свое видение мести, многие его не будут разделять, но я всё же вижу некоторые предпосылки такого финала, и не был категорично против такого исхода, но меня ужасно раздражает эта какая-то неудобная незаконченность. Они оставили абсолютно незавершенной основную линию игры, не объяснили дальнейшую судьбу ВООБЩЕ всех героев, зато бесят своим символизмом(ну реально перегибают). Это ощущение незаконченности и есть основная проблема сюжета, из-за которой очень сложно было дать окончательную оценку игре.
    И все же, несмотря на мою практически разгромную рецензию о сюжете игры, я , в отличие от абсолютного большинства критиков данной игры, которые не могут увидеть в этом произведении искусства ничего, кроме феминизма и прочих известных тем, могу воспринимать эту игру более-менее объективно со всех ее точек зрения
    Графика,звук,свет и прочая техника 10/10
    Геймплей 10/10(ну разве что стелс кому-то может показаться однообразным, но мне все время было интересно и, в отличие от первой части, никогда не надоедало)
    Сюжет 6/10
    Общая оценка по нахождению среднего арифметического и округления по математическим правилам 9/10
    Возможно игра и заслуживает меньше, около 8, но у меня просто не поднимается рука поставить ниже, ибо это первая игра, в которой я так много времени просто бесцельно ходил и рассматривал каждую деталь и мелочь игры. Виды у игры все же красивые. Я понимаю, как разработчики трудились, как душу вкладывали в свое творение, и просто из человеческого уважения к разработчикам, которым сейчас определенно неприятно осознавать провал этого грандиозного проекта длинной в 7 лет, я поставлю 9    … Expand

    I read reviews from people who couldn't have finished the game, there were 100's of them all before 12 hrs after release.

    All I can say is people are dicks, this is a game of a generation, what Naughty Dog have done with the ps4 hardware is nothing short of magnificent, it is one of the best looking games ever produced on any platform.

    I am a pc gamer with an rtx 2080ti and have seen nothing like the quality of this, how it has been done I have no idea.

    If you liked the last of us, you will love this.

    People have picked holes in the story, review bombed it, made it sound like it's a woke, transgender fan film.
    The story is deep, thrilling and engaging and none of the above. it's smart, slick and thought provoking just like the original.
    I can't tell how much you need to play this game, if you haven't already.
    I think it would be impossible to get the same reaction as the first game as it was so original and caught many, including myself unawares and blew us away.
    We all expected so much from Naughty Dog this time and they have not let us down.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A lot of people are descrediting what the game tried to achieve based on one thing and one thing only. And that's how I felt in the beginning too. When I got to the part where they killed Joel off, I wanted to smash my new TLOU2 themed controller. Turned off my console immediatly as I was pissed off as to why they would kill off one of the best characters so unceremoniously. I also kept thinking that walking into a trap like that was totally out of character for Joel.
    But then I turned my PS4Pro back on, and started to play from there. By the time I got to Abby's part, I was like don't **** make me play as this **** Then I spent another 12 or so hours as Abby and got to know Yara and Levi. My point of view shifted from black and white to grey, as it does most of the time in real life too when I judge something too quick.
    By the time I was approaching the end I started to sneak way more around entire enemies and avoid all the meaningless killings, as I had enough of that. And surely, by the time I finally reached the beach, and confronted a worn down Abby, as I was pressing square everytime it came up, I kept thinking, give us a choice damn it, don't make us kill anymore people in this game. This is what this game does to you. I came around full circle. It truly is one of the best games of this generation, be it story-wise or gameplay wise.    … Expand

Technically is amazing with the gameplay, the graphics, music, etc. The problem in this game is the story it doesn’t has a good order of the events, it makes, they want so much that we like Abby so in some points it’s just frustrating and some key descicions like Joel’s dead and the end make the game change in a negative way. As said before if there was a good story telling those key descicions could be done, but in the way the are in the game is not done correctly.
    Overall a great game with a poor story, this game is not nearly as good as the first one.    … Expand

I feel bad for those kind of gamer's because they can't see how different in story this game is telling. This one dwells on revenge and the feelings that accompany with it such as pain and suffering. It has it's heart moments but it's nowhere near where the first game was in it's story and I'm okay with that because I don't want another copy and paste game. If I had to break it down and sum it up, Part II is a masterpiece in it's game play, sound design, acting, motion capture, and all that jazz. But the story for me (which I loved in the end) isn't better than the first game WHICH IS OKAY. I loved Abby's character and sure I was heartbroken with what she did but she grew on me and I want to see more of her and her new sidekick in another game. If Neil and Naughty Dog decide to make a Part III, I would want the trilogy to come to it's conclusion by finding a cure and have Ellie do what she thought she was meant to do meaning, the first game d'welled with purpose, this with revenge, finale with redemption.

    Please buy this game and give an open minded opinion on this. If you still dislike the game, that's okay. But finish the game and give the story and it's characters a chance before making your final thoughts.    … Expand

Mucha de las críticas ha este juego han estado basadas en ataques a su argumento, y es cierto es controvertido y definitivamente Abby en un personaje que no despierta nuestro afecto y el hecho de hacernos jugar con ella durante unas cuentas horas es molesto. Pero siendo completamente honestos, nada de esto hace que juego deje de ser simplemente increíble. El esmero en los detalles, la hambientacion, la música, la jugabilidad, el diseño de niveles, todo es de una calidad sobresalientemente que ya quisieran otros estudios alcanzar. Algunas otras críticas dicen que es un “juego muy lúgubre para estos tiempos”, otra vez contra el argumento, es un juego en un mundo post apocalípticos donde nos muestran como probablemente (basados en cómo nos hemos comportado a través de la historia) se comportarían los humanos (que son al final los verdaderos mounstros del juego) no hay nada que no puedo era ser verdad y si eso te hace sentir mal pues este no es tú tipo de juego, eso no es culpa de quien lo hizo ni tiene por que bajar la puntuación del mismo, una evaluación sobre la “Calidad” no Tiene que ligarse con una sobre “gustos”. En fin técnicamente esta es una obra maestra, con un argumento controvertido y que no será del agrado de muchos (a mi particularmente el personaje de Abby nunca me genera empatía y el forzarme a jaguar con ella es muy molesto) pero esto no Desmerita un juego que todo gamer ó aficionado a los video juegos debería visitar para formarse una opinión, sin duda será ejemplo a seguir por muchos otros desarrolladores en cuanto a cualidades técnicas.… Expand

    I'm so proud of Druckman's Direction, proud of the compositors, editors, concept artists, designers...and all the people behind this amazing project.
    I hope they're not gonna give importance to sterile and unsense comments of people that probably doesn't understood the meaning of the whole adventure, just criticizing ignorantly about "plot-holes" or "this character had not to to act like this, this was like this gne gne gne!"... ****

    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]
