    I played this game twice in two weeks, it has been a month now and I still can't stop thinking about it. The whole thing is a masterpiece and an emotional throat punch on more than one occasion. It is easily my favourite game. Definitely GOT for me.

    Don't know why all the hate, thought it was a very good game.

    Better weapon choices, better fight SCENES, better character acting and a whole tonne of AI intelligence where you really do have to think of different ways to tackle certain scenarios. must admit I weren't HOOKED like I was the first game but still really enjoyed nonetheless.

    Would I play through it again? Probably not... but that was just down to how long the storyline was. They done a great job. It may have lacked some immersion as some parts are free roam so it takes away some of the storyline as I like to explore EVERYWHERE. 7.9 out of 10!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La trama tuvo un gran giro, el hecho de romper el esquema tradicional de blanco/negro, bueno/malo, nos presentan el panorama casi completo. Es mucho más profundo de lo que parece, rompe con todo lo tradicional de un juego cualquiera, lo que justamente lo hace bueno. Si fuera al público la trama clásica de bueno mata malo sería un juego más, pero la decisión de incluir en la trama una perspectiva mucho más amplia ayuda justamente a que se perciba una historia mu Chi o más compleja y trabajada.… Expand

    When I finished this game I decided that it is my favorite linear story driven game for the time being. I love every aspect of it and really glad that it managed to make me love it more that the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game blowed my mind totally! Its not a cliche game like Uncharted or any other and its upset. This game is like a real horror which hold you in fear from first minute till you piss all water and after it, with heavy emotions. Also it broke your mind with its story turns. I was scared in hospital moment and cryed like a baby asked to take me home to my mom. The game is amazing with its game play and fightings, but too much cutscenes would like to play more not to look movies whole game.
    Such amazing grey moral idea but i think more better will be to realize it in other game.
    I was very upset to see Ellies sexual contact with her friend. Im not homophobic but this scene with kisses looks ugly, not romantic. Its like a porn... No needed this in games industry also i dont like to see hetero kisses in games it looks ugly too maybe more. This LGBT idea was realized very rough. And as we can see many people dont like LGBT more and more because of it.
    Anyway the game looks beautiful, with its stupid story turns and now smart Ellie.
    I played it for 3 times already, now im playing 4th time abd skipping most of story cutscenes.
    After this part i think the story of this game is over.
    Sad, broken and alone Ellie. Survived and thankful Abby.
    I love this game to play. Hope next ND projects will be better and better.
    Sad about Joel!!!    … Expand

    The game is easily one of the best in recent years. Technically it feels almost without equal.

The ending, while hardly uplifting is fitting. That being said the storytelling is not as well done as the original which was nigh on perfection. I would actually give this game 9/10. But seeing as hardly anyone will even read what i am writing here and all the truly ridiculous 0/10 scores i am giving this 10/10 to do my bit to get the meta score up.

    I've been playing games for 28 years, but no game has ever hit me so emotionally. The story is very sad and dark, but it is a fascinating experience. I want to thank Naughty Dog and tell all the players, this deserves your attention, this is an exceptional work.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never before have I been toyed with on such an emotional level before this game. Despite the fact that most sequels do not meet or even surpass the quality of their predecessors, I do believe that Naughty Dog outdid themselves with this game.

    Everything about this game is fabulous, beginning to end. The first Ellie portion of the game is even better than the story of The Last of Us, and once you finish the game you are hit with this feeling of understanding as all the dots are finally connected, which was done in a way that leads me to the conclusion that this game rivals - if not surpasses - the first game in every way.    … Expand

    Finished the game yesterday and wow, honestly spectacular. I'm not a fanboy per se - I actually came into the game a little bit on the skeptical side, thinking it might be overhyped. I enjoyed TLOU1 back in the day, but I'm a little jaded after years of AAA titles not *quite* living up to expectations. I was happily surprised -- this game thrilled and surprised me in ways that few games doFinished the game yesterday and wow, honestly spectacular. I'm not a fanboy per se - I actually came into the game a little bit on the skeptical side, thinking it might be overhyped. I enjoyed TLOU1 back in the day, but I'm a little jaded after years of AAA titles not *quite* living up to expectations. I was happily surprised -- this game thrilled and surprised me in ways that few games do these days.

    A few highlights, for me:
    - Gameplay: the gameplay itself is *so* well-executed. Everything "feels" great - movements and actions have real weight to them, and it's a breeze to move through the world and take down enemies. The core mechanics of this game are near-perfect, and so ultimately it's a joy to play.
    - The incredible immersion (+ superb attention to detail): This may not seem super important, but right after I finished TLOU2 I went into Ghost of Tsushima (another AAA title) and realized -- wow, TLOU2 is in a completely different league when it comes to the "little touches" that add to the realism and feel of the game. A lot of this is in the way the characters move. Reaching for an item, switching weapons, opening up drawers, vaulting over obstacles -- all of these are just *perfectly*, dynamically animated. There are barely any cutscene breaks, nearly everything happens "in-engine" without breaking immersion.
    - The story: I played through the game without first reading about the controversy, and FWIW I loved the story. It felt original, surprising, and fresh. I don't want to dismiss anyone's opinions, but candidly it feels like much of the backlash to the story is rooted in feeling shocked and dismayed by a key narrative choice, and wanting to invalidate the entire story because it doesn't give them the fan-service they were looking for. The story *is* shocking and upsetting, but for me, it completely worked. It's certainly emotionally gut-wrenching, and I think maybe that's too much for some people to process.

    I'll stop there for now, but just want to say THANK YOU to the TLOU2 team. This game felt like a real labor of love, and it's honestly hard to move onto other games after this. I'll be thinking about this game for a long time - for me, it's one of the gold standards.    … Expand

    Игра прекрасна во всем, да повестка и современные тенденции гипертолерантности добавили ложку дёгтя, но в общем игра шикарна. До платины не дотянул пару достижений.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started playing the game 3 days before my father’s Memorial Day. It’s 14 years since he’s gone. He was a great man and passed away on speed. Before his death my parents fell out due to his mistakes as a family man and he had been living apart from us for 6 months. The saddest thing was that we never really appreciated him, despite his several mistakes as a husband and father, and that we didn’t live together when this happened.

    And I couldn’t be more shocked when I finished the game on the 29th of July, 4 hours into the Memorial Day. I couldn’t be more schooled how this game and its complexity corresponded with my feelings. I blamed mom, I blamed his drunk friends who let him sit in the car, I blamed everyone. But overtime I realized just as Ellie that we should just let go. And it’s been 2 days I’ve crying these tears, never as much as I used at the fall of July.

    10/10, thank you for the game, Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    Graphics and game mechanics are of the levels that you would expect from something made in this generation of gaming... nothing unexpected. The story has countless flaws and was poorly worked upon. They tried to integrate feelings and lessons that are not comprehensible in such short period.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juegazo, no es perfecto, porque no hay juegos así pero es muy bueno.

    Mucha gente se centra únicamente en la muerte de Joel y en qué Ellie hiciera toda una travesía en busca de venganza contra Abby para que al final le perdonará la vida, pero no analizan la historia que hay en medio.

    Hay uno que otro hueco argumental como por ejemplo que Joel del primer juego de ser alguien totalmente cerrado que no puede hablar sobre las personas que han muerto ahora lo platican con mucha libertad, se abrió con Elli.

    Creo que Abby no es un mal personaje ni mucho menos, es solo que estoy seguro de que muchos como yo de momento al empezar a jugar con ella y saber que había matado a Joel no nos gustó la idea pero al final del juego nos supo mal que Ellie la fuera a matar y nos sentimos un poco aliviados cuando la deja ir pero creo y como yo interpretó el final la perdono para de alguna manera compensar que no puedo hacer lo mismo con Joel. Pará nada ese era el final que esperaba pero me agrado.

    Hay momentos en los que el gameplay se siente un poco aburrido, como pasar de un momento de intensa acción a buscar sumistros nada más, siento que tuvo que haber un poco más de balance ahí.

    Y ni hablar de apartado visual porque es una joya. Es un gran juego, no tengo mas que decir, no es perfecto, lo vuelvo a repetir por eso mi calificación,.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Пишу отзыв спустя 2 недели после прохождения и большого количества опосля отсмотренных ревью и отзывов. Многие игры, фильмы, книги забываются уже на следующий день. А эта игра все ещё сидит где то на подкорке. После прохождения ты продолжаешь думать о персонажах игры, как о живых людях. Думаешь об их поступках, судьбах и что немаловажно геймплее. Со многим в игре в плане сюжета можно быть не согласным. Это не та игра, где вы напрямую ассоциируете себя с персонажами и наверно это одна из главных причин, почему игроки встретили ее смешанными отзывами. В середине игры, вам захочется ее бросить. «Пересильте» это желание и продолжайте играть. Пройдите ее целиком и обязательно самостоятельно, а не на стримах и т.п. Геймплей может выглядеть скучным только со стороны. У ND впервые со второго Uncharted удалось грамотно собрать все геймплейные элементы, которые они привносили в свои игры с тех пор, и заставить их работать как слаженный механизм. Работает стелс, работает ИИ, который пытается обходить тебя со спины, заставляя тебя менять позицию и укрытия, работает вертикальный геймплей. Если и не каждая, то очень многие сцены схваток запоминаются, как это было в Uncharted 2.
    В общем играйте сами и обязательно пройдите игру до конца, переварите концовку несколько дней и вот тогда вы кайфонете.    … 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.

    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]
