    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the first game and as someone who read the leaks and thought they were terrible, I really felt the game was amazing on playing it.

    The common criticisms are easily rebuked. Joel gave his name because A) Tommy already did so when they first encountered Abby, so he couldn't lie and B) He hasn't been a gruff, distrusting bad ass for years now. He's a community man who has another daughter, so he's going to soften up and in general just be nicer! He's the Joel from the prelude of the first game, again.

    The story isn't about revenge alone, that's only the first layer. It's about how love conquers it, as we saw with Abby's arch with Lev and Ellie forgiving Joel at the very end. Ellie sparing Abby isn't FOR Abby, it's Ellie forgiving herself and Joel for never making amends over the lies about the Fireflies. That's what was driving Ellie more than anything; her hatred of herself for not giving Joel a chance soon enough. By the end she's able to reconcile with that, regain her humanity, accept her dues, and move forward.    … Expand

    Another masterpiece by Naughtydog!

    Had so much fun playing this game. The Last of us II has a complex Story (you get to know the struggles and backstory of the “enemies”. Many hard decisions the Charakters need to make.......). These decision reflect the desperate and cold world they live and have to survive in. You can feel the characters pain and desperate situations they are in.    Another masterpiece by Naughtydog!

    Без спойлеров.

    Думал что после перовой части The Last of Us, разработчики не смогут превзойти самих себя и выдадут нам просто хорошую игру с неплохим сюжетом, красивой графикой и отполированными механиками из первой части. Но как же я ошибался, игра подарила мне такие эмоции, которые я до этого не испытывал ни в одной игре, в фильмах и книгах да, но не в игре. Сюжет это просто    Без спойлеров.

Но как же я ошибался, игра подарила мне такие эмоции, которые я до этого не испытывал ни в одной игре, в фильмах и книгах да, но не в игре. Сюжет это просто эмоциональная карусель, такой спектр эмоций я давно не получал даже от фильмов. Геймплей и анимация на высшем уровне, отношение к деталям наверное на уровне игр Rockstar Games. По сравнению с первой частью The Last of Us схватки стали намного динамичнее и вариативнее. Местами игра казалась затянутой, но многослойная концовка расставила всё на свои места.
    После прохождения остаётся ощущение опустошённости, ещё несколько дней осознавал и переваривал информацию, после чего решил, что хочу пройти игру снова, чем сейчас и занимаюсь.

    Это моё первое мнение на Metacritic, игру прошёл неделю назад, но только сейчас решил, что нужно оставить свой отзыв об игре.

    Моя оценка 10 из 10, не потому что я считаю игру абсолютно идеальной и в ней нет недостатков, а потому что ни одна другая игра не смогла мне подарить даже половину эмоций, что подарила The Last of Us Part II.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is actually a great game, one or two difficulties with some of the buttons but also happy about some of the new actions you can do , The story is very good and upsetting ,if you think about it and this if for the people upset about the story , it’s a apocalypse game bad stuff happens to good people this ads a bit of realism and shock.look at it if it was real life it’s inevitable that something would happen eventually to someone eg walking dead . It can’t always be about how you want it and it to be. But that what makes the story so good the fact that it upsets and hurts you , you live that pain as if it was real. So finish the game play it again. FYI I did not enjoy last of us 1 but second time playing I got the feel of the story and idea. Have fun playing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Coming to terms with Joel's death, understating how truthful this universe is, I can't let my feelings for him blind me like Ellie did.

    This is a story about people, actions and consequences.
    Revenge and forgiveness are the cores of this game, and it delivers a strong message of how expensive the cost for vengeance is.
    Not only this, but also the fact that in the end nothing will change what happened in the past.

    So yes, with the proper distancing, I learned to admire this masterpiece.

    Sure, it would've been nice to see Joel dying later in the game? Yes

    It would've been nice to have Joel alive with Ellie? Yes

    But this game is a accurate view of how complex life is, and how hurtful, cruel, and savage humanity could get in extreme situations.


    No plot shield for protagonists, because this is not a game about a main character. It's about perspectives and the two sides of a conflict.


    Obs: they made the game too long, but that doesn't kill the experience.    … Expand

    What this game did to me, no other game or movie has been able to do. I felt things that I never felt playing a game, constant chills, lots of emotions, both joy and sadness and an immersion that I never felt playing a game before.
    This was not just a game for me, it was a unique experience. This is a masterpiece.

    A heartbreaking, yet enlightening, emotionally driven and technical marvel.

    I never normally review games, but have been prompted to by the level of hatred and vitriol aimed at this game and those who made it. The story takes you where you might not expect, and while it may hurt to see the pain these characters go though, it's worth continuing. I understand that at times it can be grim,    A heartbreaking, yet enlightening, emotionally driven and technical marvel.

I understand that at times it can be grim, and many may have been turned off by this, but I implore you to give it another chance, as where it ends up is fundamental to understanding and accepting these early beats.

    I hope these people find it in their hearts to return to the game too, as the game is ultimately about the damage these notions can do to person beholden to them, and the ones that they love.

    If you’re on the side of people willing to threaten and harass others because a piece of media isn’t what you expect, I hope you take this message to heart, as this toxicity will damage you and those around you. We can all be better, good luck.    … Expand

    As someone who actually played the game, didn't fully make up his mind based solely on the leaks, someone open-minded and who can formulate an opinion without just copy-pasting what pseudo-intellectual and rage-bait youtubers said, to give this game anything less than a 4 or 5 is completely irrational and devoid of any actual intention to review it in good faith.

    Gameplay - It's a greatly expanded version of what we saw in the first game. Animations are a lot smoother, enemy and companion AI is much better, the damage you can do together with the sound design make for a really grueling yet amazing experience.

    Graphics - Definitely amongst the best we will ever see this generation, it's crazy how they were able to make such a beautiful and detailed game run so well in a console that came out 7 years ago.

    Atmosphere/World building - Each and every area is full of details, full of "life" and have interesting documents that tell small stories that are always interconnected with the main plot, be it to give you some extra context or small stories of what happened in that specific area which sometimes go hand in hand with the puzzles & safes.

    Sound Design/Soundtrack - It's just perfect. The work done on everything sound related in this game, be it from Gustavo Santaolalla or the amazing sound engineers/devs is astonishingly amazing.

    Story - Divisive? Maybe. Good? Definitely, one of the best stories I've seen in gaming personally. It has a few pacing issues but I didn't find it nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. People talk about "agendas" and whatnot, but it's clear it's filled with passion and it's exactly what the devs set out to do (not the suits). I find it brave that even with all of that drivel, they decided to do what they wanted to do with its story!    … 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.

    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]
