    Incredible gameplay, incredible acting from all parties. Many different factions to combat, all with unique abilities and styles. Fantastic story, and a must play for fans and non fans alike. Well done Naughty Dog, incredible game. Arguably better than the first, which is a massive compliment.

    Having watched review after review, comment after comment, and seeing the overwhelming hate for this title, I admit that I waited about a week before I decided to pick this up.

    And I wish I hadn’t.

    I wish I was there on release day grabbing a copy.

    Gameplay is amazing. Graphics are the best I think I’ve seen on ANY console. Acting is superb.

    And you know what?

    The story is actually good. Not GREAT.....but good.

    I can understand why people would be frustrated with this story, but the level of hate this title has received is, IMHO, completely unfounded and unwarranted.

    It takes some chances. Sometimes it pans out. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    But you will regret not taking the time to immerse yourself in this world again.

    Replay value is alright. I wish that Naughty Dog would come up with some extra episodes via DLC, but it is still a title that can stand on its own.

    When the people who worked on this claim that it has to “be experienced”, they weren’t kidding. It’s just one of those thing you have to play to appreciate.

    Give this a chance. This is easily one of the DEFINING games for the PlayStation 4, and, I believe, a defining game for this generation.    … Expand

    This game was incredible, a masterpiece from start to finish. Clearly all you red pills ain't got **** else to do but **** on a game most of you haven't even played. I hope Abby crushes you with her muscular thighs. 12/10.

    I really enjoyed playing this game. In my opinion, the inclusion of minorities wasn’t forced, actually, they weren’t such a big deal, which makes it cool, because this topics shouldn’t be ‘a deal’. Besides, the story wasn’t at all linear and the ending portraits the paths of life which are guided by the choices we make. It was a little bit sad and made me feel sad, but that’s life, right?I really enjoyed playing this game.

Да, первая часть дала незабываемый опыт и смогла передать чувство, которое испытывал Джоэл по отношению к Элли. Но вторая часть всем своим "естеством" пытается окунуть игрока в нужное состояние. Здесь абсолютно всё играет на сюжет, будь то музыка или игровой процесс. Вы переживёте весь спектр эмоции, который ощущает каждый персонаж. Почти за каждого второстепенного героя у вас будет возможность создать собственное впечатление. Музыка не оставит вас безразличным к звуковому сопровождению. Каждое движение, шум, и мотив заставит прочувствовать то или иное состояние. Огромная благодарность за это композитору. Спасибо за крутые анимации и динамику боя, спасибо за хороший дизайн и красивую остановку! Очень доволен игрой и эмоция, которые она вызвала.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bit shattered that they killed Joel off way to early, what made the first so great was the bond between Joel an Ellie. I sorta had a empty feeling by the time Ellie got to Seattle and begun her quest for revenge, and that empty feeling stayed with me throughout the whole game. But it wasn’t my story to tell. But in a way that empty sad feeling I had throughout the game was naughty dogs plan. They wanted the player to feel the lose and the sadness. The gameplay is the best I’ve ever experienced… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego no es perfecto, pero no es malo. Me parece una burla a todos los desarrolladores las personas que le ponen cero sin haberlo jugado, o porque no es lo que esperaban. The last of us parte 2 no es un juego de venganza, es un juego de búsqueda de sentido a la vida.
    Tiene errores sí, pero sin esos errores no sería lo mismo, fue una tortura emocional pasar ciertas partes del juego, pero no sería lo mismo sin esas emociones. Al final ¿no somos humanos también?

    Esta historia es una de las más reales que he visto en el medio, y que complementa lo bien escrita que estaba la del primer juego. Joel muere, es verdad, pero el ya había cerrado su arco narrativo en el primero. Esta no es una historia de héroe vs villano, sino de villano vs villano. El héroe ha sido deshumanizado gracias a sus errores) manzana del eden) y la villana, ha sido humanizada gracias a sus acciones.

    DE ES PROBAR EL Juego, te puede gustar más o menos. Pero el chiste es que experimentes esta emocional historia por completo.    … Expand

    Now that the initial hype has passed and the spoilers about the plot and ending has done it’s victory lap around the internet we can finally sit down and review this game for what it is; a truly magnificent game. This review will be spoiler free for those of you who’ve stayed clear of the hysteria surrounding the plot. Some details will be adressed but nothing too serious. Gameplay: TheNow that the initial hype has passed and the spoilers about the plot and ending has done it’s victory lap around the internet we can finally sit down and review this game for what it is; a truly magnificent game. This review will be spoiler free for those of you who’ve stayed clear of the hysteria surrounding the plot. Some details will be adressed but nothing too serious. Gameplay: The gameplay is what we’ve come to expect from the power house that is Naughty Dog. The controls are crisp and moving the protagonists around is a pure joy. Nothing feels better than to sneak around in the bushes waiting for an enemy to emerge. The proning function is so well done that going back to the first game actually feels weird. Every movement is smooth and doesn’t feel like an animation. Except for some minor glitches, that is. The A.I. Is also miles better than the original. The human enemies are accurate and quite formidable foes. Some of the larger enemies feels like a treath even late in the game when you’ve maxed out your stats. The infected is also handled really well. One of the few flaws of the first game is that the difference between Runners and Stalkers were quite thin, but this time around they really feel like different species, or at least different stages of infection, and are given very well designed areas to perform. The Clickers are much harder to manouver around and the Bloaters really feel like unstoppable creatures. The first time you meet one is handled like an unceremonious boss fight. The additional two new infected feels like natural additions, even though you only meet the second one once. Luckily.

    Design: This game looks good. Like, really good. This is as good as PS4 can get. Of course excluding Ghost of Tsushima and the yet to be released Cyberpunk 2077. The areas you play through is very well handled and it looks like Naughty Dog learned a lot from Uncharted 4. The level design is stellar and there are few games who can front that magnificent open landscape and terrifyingly claustrophobic hallways as good as The Last of Us part 2. There are so many ways to manouver around each sequence and it really encourages you to try each setting multible times. It’s really satisfying trying to pick of enemies one at a time once you’ve learned the layout or going balls out Rambo with running and shooting. Naughty Dog has also included so many small details that you’ll probably never really see if you’re not looking for them but really adds to the whole experience. This game also has some really gory moments that feels quite shocking. You never really get used to the grafical image of an enemies’ head’s interaction with your shotgun. Story:
    First of: This is not a happy story. It’s not meant to be a happy story. This is a world where happy stories are a rarity and every step along the way feels like you are stepping deeper into an infected rabbit hole. We pick up the pace 4 years since we last left Ellie and Joel. Things have been quiet and prosperous in the town of Jackson but after the events that shocked fans of the series we follow Ellie as she is going for revenge. Her journey takes us to Seattle and down memory lane and we really get to know her motivations and follow her relationships. She feels like a real person. She acts like a real person and she is a deeply flawed and conflicted character. On the other hand we also play as Abby, another broken character living in this post-apocalyptic world also searching for revenge and vindication. We get to know these young women whether we like to or not and the balance between what’s right and wrong are definetly tested in this game. Neil Druckman and Naughty Dog has gotten a lot of hate for their choices but this is a game that not only tests the characters within the game but also you as a player. The story is as good as it gets in a video game and multi-dimensional protaginists like Ellie and Abby are very hard to come by. Both of the characters have their own arc and fits well in with the tone and the world of The Last of Us. This is an exceptionaly well made game. This game will stay with you long after you’ve played it. The story will still sit with you the same way a good book sits with you. This type of game only comes once or twice between each platform generation and you don’t want to miss it.    … Expand

    The Last of Us parte 2 tiene todo lo que le faltaba en el 1, detalles únicos y una historia que se va desarrollando cada vez más hasta dejarte sin palabras. Cuando pensás que ya no hay nada que contar, te sorprende de diferentes formas y es todo una incógnita con un final INCREÍBLE. En mi opinión, una obra de arte este juego, que gusto fue jugarlo.

    In the beginning, I did not like where the story was headed but eventually, I started to like the story. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay was not bad. This game, in my opinion, is not for everybody and is only for players who are willing to spend long hours every day in order to finish it. Overall, one of the best games on the PS4.

    Honestly the best game I've ever played. A brutal post apo survival horror with a story line that makes you think - taking it's own turn away from the standard black/white morality in video games. Smooth and long gameplay. This game redefined storytelling, and did it with inclusive characters, it's possible! Keep an open mind and play it, you will be rewarded.

    One of the best games i have ever played.
    I hated it at first, for the scenaristic turns the game makes you do, but it is an incredible and amazing experience that had let me go throught a lot of emotions. I stared at the screen for 10 minutes when i beat the game, and thought about it for a lot of weeks after that. I immediatly wanted to do a recond run, but it is so    What a ride.

    Just finished the game and i gotta say tlo2 was a great game overall. first time i experienced this kind of emotionnal impact on a video game. Every game should use more nuanced characters and unpredictable plot lines like this game does.

    Sure it's not perfect, the game is a little too long and definetely lacks rythm for a good part of its 30-40 hours it takes to finish it.

    Don't judge the game or the plot by the user reviews, i specifically created a metacritic account to write this review and counter all the review bombing wich is objectively really unfair... All this talk about not respecting the carachters is nonsense : as users we don't get to vote on wichever direction the creators should have taken. People are unhappy about the plot choices but if it were otherwise they would complain on how its too predictable and on how they took no risks... Every gamer needs to try tlo2 because at the end of the day all you can do is appreciate all the work that's been done on this. Thanks to all the devellopers and naughty dog for this unique experience.    … 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.
