    One of the best games ever made. Story is fantastic! People are so upset that it isn't the story they wanted. Get over it, the events happened.

    It's a game about giving up everything you love for revenge. It's about you being the villain in someone else's story. It's about feeling empathy by putting yourself in another person's shoes. This game broke my heart, and I loved every minute of it.

The game does it perfectly. No body is safe, no one is invincible. And it shows us that one's actions are not always good for everyone. I do understand that the game is not for everyone. But I cannot understand why some poeple would give it a zero. It is visually stunning. The story is long, complex and so enjoyable. The gameplay is even better than the first game. It should be at least a 7/10, but for me, it's a 10, without a doubt. It is the best game I have played in my entire life. Period. A game so deep and so powerful will always stay in my top.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game that expertly depicts the cycle of revenge and violence that only leads to despair. By playing as both the characters Abby and Ellie it allows you to see both sides of the story and how they mirror each other, leading to the answer that neither character is good or bad, and is just human. On top of this you have some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game and gameplay that has expanded on the original. There is a lot of hate towards the game promoting a social agenda by including multiple LGBTQ characters, dont belive all the negative reviews held by those that are posting hate for the pure reason of intolerance to others in society.… Expand

    One of the most gut-wrenching, mentally exhausting games I've ever played. It was an incredible experience and I loved it. I wish more people were open to the story and themes that this game wanted to convey.

    Звук. Помимо бесспорно шедевральной музыки от Густаво Сантаолальи, игра имеет очень качественную озвучку всего, начиная от оружия и заканчивая предметами окружения. Звук не вызывает нареканий.

    Геймплей. Он, с одной стороны, мало чем изменился с первой части, но, с другой, стал лучше во всех своих аспектах. Если вам сильно понравился геймплей первой части, то от геймплея второй вы будете в восторге. Если же вы считаете, что первая часть - это "кинцо без геймплея", то вторая часть вам тоже геймплейно не зайдёт.

    Сюжет. Самая спорная часть. Для большинства точкой невозврата стало событие, произошедшее в первой части игры. Для других - вторая половина игры. Для третьих - финал. Если без спойлеров, то игра максимально депрессивная и старается показать своих персонажей в разном свете и она совершенно не похожа на первую часть. Ничем. Совсем. На самом деле, если рассудить логически, то сюжет вполне добротно скроен - в нём нет логических дыр, искажения характеров персонажей, отсутствия причинно-следственных связей и прочих недочётов, пусть он и не идеален. Ты можешь принимать или не принимать поступки тех или иных героев, но ты понимаешь, почему они так поступают. Структурно сюжет часто переключается между настоящим и прошлым, и поделен между двумя персонажами игры в пропорции примерно 60/40. Сюжет следует идеи мести и вытекающих из неё последствий - в сущности, простая идея, но поданная на высочайшем уровне.

    Пара слов об SJW-контенте - да, в игре он присутствует, причём достаточно заметен. Однако сводить всю игру только к нему это глупо. Есть тут люди, для которых это стало большой трагедией, но для таких у меня есть пара слов - если у вас вызывает отвращение что-то, отличающееся от представлений традиционной морали, то вы ничем не лучше тех, кто практикует "позитивную" дискриминацию, просто находитесь по другую сторону баррикад. И если вы в огромной игре заметили только SJW-контент, то мне вас жаль.

    Пара слов о ревью-бомбинге - он тоже имел место быть. Огромное кол-во негативных отзывов появилось в первые же часы игры, т.е эти люди чисто физически не могли пройти игру к моменту написания отзыва. Даже не то, что пройти - они 90% игры в глаза не видели, но уже побежали минусить. Что тут ещё сказать...

    Играть или нет? Если вы ждёте всего того, что было в первой части, "только больше" - не стоит. Во всех остальных случаях играть обязательно.

    Вердикт: The Last of Us part II - игра высочайшего качества и одна из лучших игр текущего поколения, главная проблема которой заключается в том, что это не совсем та игра, которую все ждали.    … Expand

    This game challenges you to think from multiple perspectives. The people who dislike this game seem to miss the point. The developers have done something different here and I personally love it.
    They have gone all out with this game and it sure plays out like a movie, even during gameplay sometimes, which is really impressive.
    Also, finishing this game will leave you emotionally devastated.

The first game set a standard of beautiful story telling, and this does the opposite - quality story telling has been set aside in favor of making a political statement. It doesn't matter how sympathetic I am to the cause, or how much I stand for the right to use your platform to make a statement -- when you sacrifice the quality of your product for it, you're just a shill.… Expand

    This game is a 10/10 and hands down the best, most immersive, challenging (in every sense of the word) game I have ever and probably will ever play. You will be sad. You will be shocked. You will be angry. You will be happy. You will be amused. This game will make you feel every possible emotion and it's a feat not seen in the gaming world. It's a game that forces you to think and think deeply. It forces you to see the other side, which has never been done in this fashion before in any game.

    AND if you want to really understand the ending, read this comment (https://i.redd.it/r7emk881yt951.jpg), because I guarantee you 95% of the people who submitted a negative review did understand the ending and missed this tiny but huge detail.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt that this game did a lot wrong, but also did a lot right, the game play felt fun through most of the segments, the levels were interesting and in my opinion dynamic, however, one of the major problems with the game is by far the ending, a lot of people complain about the beginning of the game(which is justified in some aspects) but the worst damage is done by the ending. Before the ending of the game, i could really see myself coming back to play through again on new game plus but by the time i made it past the last segment with the new enemy faction and that miserable ending, i felt like going back to play this game would be a waste of time especially with the lackluster ending that makes you wonder why you decided to play the game in the first place.… Expand

    Overall this is another fantastic game by naughty dog. I do agree that the second part is not nearly as good as the first, and some of the story elements feel very forced to fit a very obvious narrative.

    The writing isn't anywhere as good as the first game, and today's political environment is interjected into the game without much thought on how it could impact the tone of the game.

Unfortunately, I think we will be seeing more of this in the next generation of gaming. No one wants the author's politics obviously interjected into a game.

    However, all that's being said... I still enjoyed the game start to finish. It didn't have the same overall impact on me as the first, but that was always going to a hard feat to accomplish.    … Expand

I've seen a lot of comments that are basically using the same words, so I'm not sure they are bots or something, so this makes me think that Metacritic is not well administrated as we thought. Anyway, The Last of Us Part II is an incredible game, and you have to experience it by yourself… Expand

    Not the game I was expecting but in the best possible way. Expands and refines the last of us gameplay and plot along with some of the best graphics of this generation.
    If you want more of the same from the first game, you won’t get it, and tonally it has a very different feel, but it is it’s equal in every respect.

Locations are huge, hordes of infected-a separate theme of the game. Because of the power of the console, the developers allowed themselves such a Fitch, which brought additional success to the game. Music: everything is great, Gustavo was hired again, he made great soundtracks. Plot:here you can already turn around. It is divided into two lines, let's say:the love line and the revenge line. The love line after the final remained, personally for me, under a small question. Although Druckmann said that the story is complete, so far, but I still do not understand the relationship of the main character with her friend. If this was explained, I would understand better, and so, this plot point seems to end near the end of the story, but still the question arises "what's next with them?". The essence of this chemistry is revealed, which is a huge plus. Of course, I would like more details, but perhaps we will learn about this in the third part. But even here the opposite occurs:I can't yet imagine what you can come up with in the third part of the game. It seems that the story has come to its end, but I want something more explosive, so to say, the end. Throughout the game, you sit there and don't understand what's going on, but by the end, everything is connected. Revenge... Well, everything is clear here. A parallel is drawn between Ellie and another character. Revenge is a component of their goals, and you understand it during the passage. Revenge breeds more revenge, as does violence. You sit there and think, when is this all going to end, do they both need it? In the pursuit of revenge, both ruin their destinies, their peaceful lives, as a result of which they lose a lot. No one thinks ahead, everyone is driven only by this feeling, and it is impossible to stop, the process is already started, what was the point to start? You, as a player, play for both sides, and by the end of the game you just want it all to stop, because there is nothing to fight for. You seem to be halfway across the country, but is it worth the loss?
    Thus, the game we've been waiting for, has paid off in spades. Heavy and scattered pieces of the plot weaves into one lump at the end of the game, and you understand what you wanted to convey Druckmann. Strictly my assessment:9.4/10.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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.
