    The gameplay was very intense and made very good changes and improvements to the first game. From a technical standpoint, the game is just beautiful - it looks amazing and feels smooth while playing thanks to market leading AA, so the 30 fps are not that big of an issue. They definitely achieved the maximum out of the old PS4 hardware.
    Everything else - animations, motion capture, the actor's performance - top notch. For the technical reasons alone it's just laughable to give this game any score lower than a 5 or 6 - the amount of details they've put into the game is just outstanding.

    There were little problems with the pacing, especially in the second half - but all the positives outweighs these little problems clearly.

    I enjoyed my time with this game and I truly believe it is a piece of art that will be talked about in many years from now.    … Expand

    Я могу понять разочарование людей в некоторых сюжетных решениях, но игра явно не заслуживает таких низких оценок. И да, очень много людей даже не играли в неё, так как предъявления в духе "беременная и паркур" являются попыткой обосновать своё очевидно предвзятое мнение, так как на таких мелочах ни один нормальный человек который проходил 30 часовую игру никогда бы не стал зацикливаться.Я могу понять разочарование людей в некоторых сюжетных решениях, но игра явно не заслуживает таких низких оценок.

TLOU 2 pushes the perception of what games can be. This game is THE game that will make people who don't consider games as art pieces say... Wow maybe games can be art. And they can be, but only when done with passion and with a clear vision and direction. When those checks are ticked, videogames are the best type of art because they englobe every single other art there exists in a truly immersive experience. TLOU 2 is the perfect example of that, it's the definition of a masterpiece and no matter you're opinion about it, you can't stay indifferent to it. And that's what good art does, it makes you take a stance, have an opinion and most importantly it makes you feel real ****. You can love it or you can hate it, but you can't deny that TLOU 2 is a result of a company that cares, of a company that wants to do different and push the industry forward. It may not be perfect, but to me, TLOU 2 is the peak of creative storytelling in the medium and the best narrative driven game made to date.… Expand

    Для начала, давайте сразу определимся, что игру не оценивают ТОЛЬКО по сюжету, и все ревью, в которых кричат "игра мусор, потому что сюжет - мусор" - пример не вполне адекватной оценки.

Это очень качественная работа во всех аспектах, технически игра сделана отлично, за исключением каких-то ну совсем незначительных деталей, сюжет, вопреки многим завываниям, написан добротно и хорошо, это КАЧЕСТВЕННАЯ работа. Если история кажется слишком грустной, жестокой, просто не такой, как вы ожидали, это не значит, что она плохая.

    Я, как человек чувствительный и эмоциональный, заранее ознакомилась со спойлерами (делаю так всегда, мне так легче и проще), чтобы не сильно бомбить в процессе игры, поэтому процесс принятия сюжетных поворотов у меня начался заранее, и к началу прохождения я подошла в, так скажем, стадии депрессии)) В целом да, и у меня было полнейшее неприятие всего произошедшего в начале, огонь из задницы до луны и обратно и вот это вот все, НО! Но просто дайте игре шанс, и возможно к концу вы получите такой эмоциональный опыт, какой не может дать ни одна ААА игра на данный момент (на мой взгляд).

    Это очень хорошая игра, это очень качественная работа, это самый болезненный и важный игровой опыт лично для меня и, похоже, самая лучшая игра ever лично для меня.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have tried my absolute best to like this game. But despite excellent gameplay and graphics, the story just doesn’t work. I spent 30 plus hours lying to myself that by the end, it would all make sense. And everything would come together. However all I was left with was a confused mess, that tries far to hard to be shocking and edgy. It’s all over the place with different characters and time periods. There’s a complete lack of momentum. Old characters are handled badly. And new characters are wasted, due to how they are introduced and set up. To add icing onto the cake... the entire story is kind of pointless. Nothing is resolved, and everyone has just had the worst time. The story is a real shame. The graphics and gameplay are solid. It’s a well made game, that had limitless potential. Unfortunately, although I appreciate naughty dog’s ambition with the plot. It just didn’t work. It’s so bad, that it spoils the game.

    I have just completed the game, and I feel exactly how I felt after watching the last Jedi. I didn’t hate it... but I kind of wish it had never happened.

    Naughty dog, A for effort, but D for outcome. Please take onboard fans criticism instead of insisting we didn’t get the game. We did... we appreciate what you tried to do. But it didn’t work. Things that would have helped the story.
    1. I have no issue with dying dying, but he should have had a better exit. Make it so that Abby refuses to help him up during an escape from the infected after learning who he is. Then being conflicted with her decision afterwards. And so the revenge part makes sense. Have Ellie be there. Have Abby then push Ellie down. And Joel dies saving Ellie one last time. Even have it so Ellie has to kill Joel before he turns. This would add so much more to the end of the first game. Ellie loses Joel to an infection she was supposed to cure. If Ellie needs more of a reason to revenge on Abby. Have Abby also release infected into Jackson, to aid her escape. Dooming hundreds.
    2. Abby had potential. But you needed to make us bond with her before she killed Joel. Personally I liked her gameplay. Had she been in a different game unrelated from this mess of a plot. I would have given her a chance. 3. Have a decent twist. Make it so Abby is also immune. Her dad knew this all along... but couldn’t go through with it. So started using/finding other people with forms of immunity, so he didn’t have to kill her. Have Abby find this out during her segment (so her play through has a point, and doesn’t drag). With her eventually realising that her father and Joel weren’t so different. 4. Have her and Ellie have more screen time out of beating the hell out of each other. So they can understand each other’s side of the story. This way, it actually makes sense why one lets the other go. They can even bond over their immunity. This game is not awful. But it’s certainly not good. And it has the potential to be fantastic with some revision to the story. This can all be done whilst keeping the basic bones of the story. And it would drive home the intended message, far better than the over the top nonsense it is now.    … Expand

I played this game very slowly, soaking in all the environmental details, exploring every nook and cranny, appreciating the amazing artistic talent that went behind crafting such an immersive world.

    Narrative wise, I avoided all spoilers coming in, had an open mind and thoroughly loved the story. Most games have protagonists and antagonists that feel detached, villains that are always in the background who want to take over the world etc. Whose motives don't quite inspire or make me empathize. However, in TLOU2, it's very nuanced, layered and deep. Never have I experienced a story told this way. I felt connected to every character and the story beats hit me hard emotionally.

    If you want a deep narrative experience coupled with powerhouse graphics and intense stealth-action gameplay with survival mehanics, this is it. Please I beg you ignore the hate surrounding this game. I've been reading forums and reviews and videos to understand where the hate is coming from but I, in my honest opinion, feel it is very unwarranted. Play it, it's worth it!    … Expand

    The game looks insanely good, the combat and exloration addictive and realistic. There are some narrative dessicions that have no point at all and the music is not as dominant as i the first game. Other than that a solid ps exclusive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is bad to say the least, first there is the part of the soundtrack, TLOU2 has one that in my opinion is excellent, I will give it that to Naughty dog, but anyone will agree that this is something that TLOU2 cannot hang on as games such as Undertale, which despite having a great story, its strongest point is the soundtrack that gave us as many memorable pieces as Megalovania.

    Now we go with the gameplay mechanics, TLOU2 has practically the same game mechanics as TLOU1 so there is not so much to analyze, except that they are good / decent for the genre, however, it does not shine here either as it could be the case of Sekiro, Mirror's Edge or even Dark Souls at the time that due to the lack of a clear story or the level of many other installments, they sought to shine with phenomenal game mechanics for their genres and that gave immersion.

    Graphics, here if I have to accept it, Naughty dog ​​really showed off what they can do, however, graphics should not be, in any case, something that a game can hang on, unless you want to be a kind of advanced simulator of some style. There are many incredible games that do not have the luxury of showing off with their graphics and still give incredible quality games such as Undertale, Limbo, celeste, etc.

    Finally, the most important thing in this genre is the narrative / story, in which TLOU failed miserably, the story is of the revenge format, however, in the end Ellie ends up forgiving Abby which is the main reason why her odyssey began and don't take it the wrong way, that's a good idea, if it is executed correctly, but the problem here is that Ellie killed all those who stood in her way to reach Abby, like, perhaps they had families, friends, etc(?) So there is no point in Ellie's final decision, at least end what you have already started, plus, people didn't want to play like Abby, they wanted to kill her and help Ellie do it, they essentially forced the player to do something they didn't want to by half a game and with a flat character with little or no evolution throughout the game. Looking for a good story of revenge or redemption? Look at examples such as God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Shadow of the Collosus, Assassins Creed Origins, among many, many others. So yeah, overall, the game doesn't give justice to what its predecessor was, it is just plain bad in the most important camp it had to shine. 2/10 I would like my money back    … 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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
