I don't understand any of the hate that this game has received, it doesn't deserve it. I accept that some of the story events may have left people feeling empty but this in no way makes it a bad game. The gameplay is great and the horror elements ramp up substantially on this game compared to the first. All great elements. Loved it 10/10 Expand

    You might not like the story. You might wish the characters ended up in a different situation. But you cannot deny the care, the details, and the amount of polish that filled the game that making it an experience that everyone should at least give it the benefit of the doubt and try it out with an open mind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es increíble en todos los sentidos como historia jugabilidad y gráficos, pero lo único que no me gusta es el final porque después de matar a todos Ellie deja ir a Abby y por la muerte de Joel, pero en todo lo demas es juego es increíble porque a cada momento te hace emocionarte o sufrir por los personajes.
    Y el que haya sido tan criticado el juego por una supuesta inclusión forzada me parece una tremenda tontería porque no es hasta ahora que los jugadores estamos terminando el juego no nos damos cuenta como de bueno es realmente. El hecho de la relación entre Ellie y Dina, la musculacion de Abby y la "transexualidad" de Lev para mi no está incluido en el juego forzadamente para conseguir más dinero sino que creo que lo han hecho para mostrar que es algo normal que aún en un mundo postapocaliptico se da porque es algo completamente normal. Pero vamos que el juego es increíble y todos los que le han puesto un 0 al día de salir son los ofendidos por la muerte de Joel

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very minor spoilers

    Graphics and jogability are ok.

    The story is very bad, and the writing is very poor. Ellie and Tonny are not consistent, The game makes you play with the "villain" trying to make you like her... for, it didnt worked. I didnt care for her or for the other characters in her story.. they are all boring as hell, add nothing to almost nothing to the storey and takes a whole 12 hours to pass by... There is a "boss" fight when you are controlling the "Villain" and you must win Ellie... that was the dumbest thing I've ever saw in a game. After this fight, Ellie loose and the game should come to an end, but it didnt. It makes very little sense, but Ellie goes after the "villain" again and the ending is VERY disapponting.

    What can I say other than this is the BEST game I’ve ever played.

    I don’t understand the negative reviews, and if anything it’s an indictment on today’s society. There are some people who haven’t even played the game and/or who are basing their decision on what happens in the game early on. It’s such a shame that these people cannot go through the process of the game to form their own judgment. It also goes to show these people don’t have a level of maturity required to play these games and/or have had much life experience. The pros: The story is phenomenal and a worthy experience. This is a game that will make you experience emotions and connections that you wouldn’t have experienced via a film or other game. These are real life emotions that will leave you unsettled at times and wanting to take a break. I had to stop the game on numerous times to take a break from the intensity. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic, it’s an improvement on the first game and so fluid. I never had any issues during the game. If anything, playing this game and having to go back to other games has marred those games. Nothing will be as good as this to date. In terms of the sound, please, please, play this game through headphones. It’s an absolute must! You will hear a living environment that is true to the settings. It’s amazing, and adds another dimension to the game. Cons There aren’t any.... people are the issue here. The poor reviews aren’t a true reflection of this game. If you’re on the fence about buying this, please keep an open mind, and go through the experience yourself, I promise you it will be worth it! This is, in my eyes, The game of the generation! And a fabulous send off for the PS4. I will recall this game as many recalled the last of us years later and remember it for what was, an amazing, breathtaking experience. Naughty Dog... you are amazing and thank you so much for this producing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, TLOU2 is a flawed game, with some questionable decisions in story telling, pacing and direction. However, it is worth playing, and from a pure technical and gameplay perspective, quite stunning.

    I'll start first on the technical side of things, which is where this game truly shines. In this respect, TLOU2 is a masterpiece. Graphically, the game is gorgeous, one of the best looking PS4 games to date, and certainly a stunning way to cap of the PS4's end of life. The environments are richly detailed, from Jackson's winter snow covered climate, Seattle's rain soaked depressing atmosphere and Santa Barbara's hot, dry heat. The PS4 Pro was able to render them all with great clarity and stunning lighting at 1440p. As a PC gamer predominantly, the 30fps was annoying, as was the controller, however, I think these annoyances can be overlooked - although I would love the series to come to PC one day.

    While it suffered in some areas from drops under 30fps (mostly interactive water environs), for the most part it was completely playable. The Temporal Anti-Aliasing, nice film grain, filmic colour grading and beautiful lighting (using pre-baked and indirect lighting effects), especially the global illumination lighting effects, simulating colour bleeding from light on different materials (which was impressively implemented) brought the game and the richly cluttered and living environments to life. The environments ranged from quite large open areas like the large Seattle map, to more guided closed areas in the later game. I don't think an open world design would have been of benefit for this title, and was best served with map design seen in game.

    The story however is quite clearly an area which has received some very critical reception, and rightly so. While I didn't hate the story, in fact I enjoyed some parts of it, I didn't like it either. It is for the most part a story of revenge, and very little else, there is nothing original here. There are moments of redemption and clarity of thought for the characters, but in the end, it was an eye for an eye revenge adventure plot that did not succeed, leaving the player empty, angry and wondering what was it all for. Maybe that was the point of the story? If so, it's not appreciated. The game is undeniably bleak and hard to enjoy in many parts, which is a shame, given that TLOU1 was such a fantastic game with a brilliant story. Forcing the player to play from the viewpoint of the "antagonist" for essentially the entire last half of the game was clearly an attempt to try and show to the player how perceptions and points of view are never truly what they seem, nor a persons intentions - for Abby it was about justice, for Ellie it was about vengeance.

    There were some really great parts to the story, the best being the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie's moments in the past, both good and bad and their journey from close bond, shattered relationship and eventual renewal - although this never came to pass given the story events. These good moments were few and far between though. When we get to know Abby, she is not quite the evil murderer that she is initially portrayed to be, and much like Ellie, a product of her surroundings and history, that fact is established at the start. This does not absolve her of her actions though - Abby's justice was directed solely at Joel, while Ellie's revenge was directed at everything to do with the WLF, purely by association with Abby. In the end, Ellie evolved into a worse person than Abby, destroying her character. Abby's initial introduction into the game with her hate filled and violent introduction as she beats Joel to death for the murder of her father did not lend her to being an easy character to either play as or to empathize with. There is much more to say, but not really enough space. To sum it up, the story is flawed, imperfect and hard to digest, but ultimately, still worth experiencing.

    The gameplay is much like any other Naughty Dog title with survival elements, scrounging for supplies etc. It's fun, and a refinement on previous titles. While it's nothing groundbreaking, it does the job well. However, some elements like restrictions on ammunition amount make little sense. As a PC gamer, the camera felt overly claustrophobic, which is something that console titles have always had an issue with. But apart from small issues like those, it was still fun from a gameplay perspective.

    Over all, I'd rate TLOU2 a 5 out of 10. This game is by no means perfect like most of the mainstream gaming media portray. It's most glaring issues are those involving story and the essential destruction (deconstruction?) of those characters we came to love in the original game. That is not easily overlooked. However from a clear technical point of view, the game is stunning, richly rendered and always looks beautiful. EDIT: Changed from 7 to 5, in light of actions by Sony and ND and their doubling down on stupid.

    This is a spoiler free review for The Last of Us Part II

    The Last of Us Part II takes place a few years after the first part, with a focus on the now young adult Ellie.

    I played the game through twice (Survivor / Survivor +) and I can say by far that the gameplay is definitely one of the best third-person action games of our generation. The encounters with the opponents are very realistic and dynamic. There are almost endless ways to take out opponents in the style of Metal Gear Solid or as a John Wick. However, some options in the first run are limited for me, because of the difficulty I have chosen, there are few resources to be found. That is why it scores for me that Naughty Dog attaches great importance to difficulty settings. You can do certain aspects in the game, e.g. Adjust resources so that they are easier to find.
    Of course, players who are very good at using a controller are particularly rewarded here, and those who are only used to playing with a mouse and keyboard can sometimes have difficulties. For me, this does not change that the gameplay raises the bar for future console games enormously.

    From a graphic point of view, everything is perfect at first glance. It is one of the most beautiful games alongside Red Dead Redemption 2. Above all, the performance of the voice actors combined with the incredibly good animation in the area of ​​motion capture is very well staged.
    Rarely is music and sound built into a game as well as in The Last of Us. Never before in a game have I relied on the sound to survive. The death noises from the opponents also sound very brutal and sometimes a bit too exaggerated.
    The only disadvantage is that with a basic Playstation the console sounds like an airplane. It is also a bitter aftertaste because the game is currently only playable at a maximum of 30 fps.

    Before I get to the most polarized point, namely story, I would like to say something first.
    We are currently living in a time when many worldwide, have problems, including Corona virus and in some countries such as USA or Hong Kong there are also massive protests. Therefore, we should be careful what we do in the real world and above all what we say to the digital world. There is already too much negativity in life and you don't necessarily have to take someone's joy away from something just because you don't enjoy it yourself. Let us instead rejoice for this person, because this person would like to wish you this joy yourself. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but insulting someone for no reason goes too far.

    I can only say one thing about the story: This story will not make you happy.
    However, this is not a negative criticism of the game. Those who like to play games to relax or enjoy a happy and entertaining story could have a very hard time at The Last of Us. With a risky narrative perspective, Naughty Dog dares to give players a new way to experience a game like no other studio has tried, at least as extreme as in The Last of Us. That's why the player is put to the test here by asking himself the question "Is that enough now?" or "Do I want more?" It is also an obstacle for the player to be able to read between the lines and not only to understand why the character did it, but to understand the entire journey of the characters. Anyone who lacks empathy and emotion you will definitely not be able to enjoy history as another player.
    It is also important to get involved in the story impartially and above all without a spoiler. The plot may seem simple at first glance, but the story offers so much more. Secondary characters have their meaning and indirect influences on the main characters. Dialogues sound authentic and are brilliantly staged, as you know from previous games of Naughty Dog. There are so many symbols and parallels in this world and history that you don't immediately recognize, but the more you play you appreciate the work of the creators when you realize what they mean.

    The Last of Us Part II is not a game for everyone, but it is important to recognize that this game is important and will be for games to come. However, if you deny this, you are satisfied that games like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty are used out annually and do not bring about great innovation (and I also like both games). For my part, I love it when game developers risk something and stay true to themselves because there would not be games like Death Stranding or the latest God of War. One has to accept that The Last of Us tells us a story that is firstly innovative on this medium and secondly seen by the creators as being worthy of the predecessor.
    It is not just a game, but an experience, so I clearly recommend to play game and absolutely recommend to buy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Late to the party guys, but I am proud we got a game like TLoU2, even if its for me not the masterpiece it could have been. Part 1 was nearly perfect.

    Story

    The story had really really well made parts in it but all in all it wasnt really sth. new, even tho that dont have to be the case always to be good. But the most frustrating was that it was too predictable and I just dont get why we had to reroll it again after the fight with abby against Ellie. The third time was one to much and at the end Ellie couldnt do it either (to much plot armor).

    Besides that the cutscenes were so good, easily the best you could have imagine but I wanted more depth in the story to the apocalyptic world and not on the revenge part.

    Graphics

    Brutally good (just look at the god damn fingers while Ellie playing gitarre, stunning). Even on my Slim it looks fantastic. The worldbuilding, cutscenes, the transmission from gameplay to video sequences are perfect. I would have love more different assets and not only parts of seattle, that for I like the epiloque, cause it gives you more imagination of the apocalyptic world, they could have went for.

    Also why cant I disable this weird filter effect??

    Gameplay

    Here ist the problem for me in this game. Part 1 hadnt had the best Gameplay but with the compelling story it was okay. 7 years later I dont see much innovation and new mechanics. The weapons of Ellie feels boring and most of the sections are spoilering theirself by the way the section is builded.

    The AI of the companions is again stupid, but better as part 1. The Enemy AI is well made and way better (flanking a lot and trying to really kill you), in the epiloque it falls a little bit off by just sending you hordes of enemies in the way.

    With the part of Abby the combat becomes way more impactful and you really going to like playing it more action oriented. Also the "zombie" parts are very well down and kind of creepy.

    Summary

    All in all a very good game, which cant live up to his hype in my opinion. With 25 hours its defenitly worth playing but it couldnt reach Part 1.

The new characters that were added to this story had almost no depth and are very unlikeable (like Manny or Abby). The ones who the player is supposed to like, like Jessee. Die after having less than 10 scenes in the game and we never really get to feel for the characters. The deaths for the characters are all dry and pretty much do not add anything to the story besides shock and for Joel at the beginning, the writing was done poorly and they ruined one of the most iconic and unique characters of gaming.

I still can't believe that creators of the game legend, one of the most dramatic, beautiful and touching plots in the industry that made us wait for 7 years for the continuation of this masterpiece, the very same people just... KILLED IT. And did it in such a stupid and primitive way. It seems to me they forgot WHAT made TLOU legendary back then- it was the Story of two different people becoming close to each other, creating the relationship lots of fans worshipped. It was Joel's story. The story of a disappointed and cruel bastard who becomes soft because of the little girl. The Love Story. Part 2 literally killed and raped both main characters And Us, games, by making us play for Joel's killer. I didn't wait 7 years to play for some random terminator woman whom I started to despise from the very beginning. The whole gameplay was disappointing, boring and disgusting! As to Dina - I'm not homophobic- I liked Ellie's friend from Left Behind - she was strong, funny and likable character!! Worth of our time and hearts. Where Dina is just... well... superficial. In short: TLOU 2 is a dull and stupid game that KILLED all the best that was in the original story and even Left Behind. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я думаю что игра не плохая. Персонажи хорошие но не все раскрыты полностью. Можно было уделить больше внимания Эбби и Дине. Сюжет порадовал, но коридорность игры расстраивает. Дам раскрытую оценку ниже.
    • - Музыкальное Сопровождение 10/10 - Персонажи 7/10 - Русская озвучка 9.5/10 - Английская озвучка 10/10 - Перевод Субтитров на русский 8/10 - Сюжет 9/10 - История Персонажей - 6/10 Визуальные Составляющие - Графика 10/10 - Катсцены 10/10 - Физика 10/10 - Постановка Света как в катсценах так и в окружающем игровом мире 9/10

    • Дам небольшую оценку персонажам (как визуальную составляющую также: костюмы, голос, раскрытость") - Элли 8/10 без слов и так всё понятно. Могу только сказать что одежда подобранна прям под неё. Но причёска в конце ей вообще не идёт. Озвучка порадовала. - Джоэл 9/10 (раскрытость" проявляется в конце новой части, а всё остальное из первой и так понятно) - Эбби 8/10 мне понравилось как они преподнесли Эбби как персонажа и личность. Озвучка очень хорошая и внешность не расстроила. - Лев 7/10 мало разговорчивый по своей натуре и ему это очень подходит. Так и не понял они специально не раскрыли его по больше из за его личности или это косяк? Надеюсь будет какое то DLC с Левом или что то в этом духе. Костюм подходит хорошо. Озвучка тоже. Но по началу ему не шла озвучка. Но потом привык. - Дина 6/10 Мало раскрыли Дину. Потому что для персонажа с такой ролью можно было намного больше. Одежда ей тоже подходит, озвучка хорошая и также ей подходит. - Томми 5/10 Персонаж более менее раскрыт в первой части как по мне. А во второй не очень. Хотелось бы узнать про не го по больше. Озвучка как всегда подходит и одежда тоже. На этом всё, игра вышла хорошей. Постарались ребята но ЛГБТ отсылка конечно подпортила игру. Анита Саркисян «постаралась» я вижу.

    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.
