    The array of 10s and 0s should tell you this game is controversial.

    The steady 4s should tell you this game is not good.

    I don´t know why everyone is hating this game. Is a masterpiece, people that put 0 in a review without have played the game. Really? Even the worst game doesn't deserve it. Please if you read this just play it and enjoy it.

    The game looks really good. The world is near perfect. Animations or humans is also well done. But this is were the good ends. No spoilers to people but story is terrible.

    NaughtyDog lied in the trailers about Joel, such deceit I've never seen before from any company. The whole idea of playing 10+ hours for the person you're gonna hate from the beginning and having to kill dozens of people just to spare the worst person in the end is complete nonsense, and even worse is that so it's badly told nonsense.    … Expand

    Gameplay 9/10 - Refreshing and Engaging combat, amazing fun exploration never had a moment of bore, just not a 10 because it wasn't perfect and it didn't necesseraily add much to the part 1 gameplay

    Environments and Setting 10/10 - Just perfect, everything is so well done, every section seems differnt and worthwile, made the exploration feel so fluid

    Graphics and Lighting 10/10 - Simply the best I've ever seen in videogames, EVER

    Soundtrack and Audio 10/10 - Just like the first game, it is absolutely perfect, it adds so much to every moment, weahter it's combat, a cutscene, or just exploration, it always brings so much life into the game. Bravo Gustavo, once again.

    Acting 10/10 - It wasn't because of the actors that the story failed, they were just perfect, especially (obviously) Ashley, but Laura Bailey did an amazing job as always

    Narrative 5/10 - First 15 hours were amazing, the 10 hours that followed were a complete mess, I found myself rushing towards the end cause I couldn't give a **** about the story they were trying to tell us.

    (Ending 9/10) - I just simply loved it. I cried so much at the final scene. If it wasn't for the poor execution on the second part of the game, this would be a 10, and the story could easily be 8 or 9. But it isn´t

    Final Thoughts: Although the narrative has issues in its pacing and decisions, this was still one of the best experiences I had with a videogame in a long time (probably since part 1). And even tho the story isn't as good as the first one, the overall experience was worth every second. You just don't find this kindof quality in games often, so you should apreciate Naughty Dog for still investing in these games with engaging and emotive narrative, combining it with oustanding visuals and gameplay

    I want to give it a 9 for all that it did well, but because the story is so important in these kind of games, I can't rate it higher than 8.    … Expand

    I'm writing this after a long cooldown and had time to really think about the game.

    While Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann revel in their 10/10 reviews, reality is that this game is just bad.

    While Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann revel in their 10/10 reviews, reality is that this game is just bad. Its not art, its nothing profound, its a game with a poorly written story and pacing issues.

    On a technical aspect the game is great, you can really tell how much hard and skillful work went into making it. Combat and animations are as smooth as ever, and graphics are beautiful.

    Thats where it ends, the game is split into two phases, 1 with Ellie, 1 with Abby, Upgrades, weapons, supplements, all get a feeling of worthlessness because of how the game is split. Why bother gathering things when you can only use them in one half of the game.

    In phase 2, you are forced to play as Abby, a character that most people who played the first game, will hate. You are then exposed to cheap repeated attempts to make you sympathize with Abby like petting dogs and messing around with your teenage love interest.

    The attempts at trying to make you see her side and sympathize come across as cheap, manipulative, and unwelcome.
    Naughty Dog should try the same on the hundreds of people Joel, Ellie, and Abby have killed. That's alot of dogs to pet.

    In the end, you are left heartbroken, resentful, unsatisfied, and disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dont trust the negative reviews,the narrative of this game is good,little kids are mad about Joels Death and how did this happened.Haters of this game is saying that Joel will not tell to those guys his name-First of all when Joel came to them Abby already know that it is killer of her father,cause while Tommy and Joel where resqueing Abby,Tommy said to Abby that his name is Tommy and it is my brother Joel,and thats it Abby is already know that is Joel.Second-Why did he told his name to the company of unknown people-Cause theve saved his life and after 5 year pause of crimes and violence.Ok lets talk about the plot,in opnion it is Narrative Masterpice,all chacters are like live persons with own psyche and motivations,the game is divided into a two strory lines Ellies story line and Abbys story line,and what can i say,Ellies Story line is like Uncharted 4 Ellie sacrifice all her for friends for revenge like Nathan Drake sacrifices everything for a treasure,and Abbys story line is like a Last of Us Part 1 Abby meet two strangers they resqued het and she resqued them,but after the night with Owen she sees a dream where she sees them died,and she decides to help them,and in the end of abbys soryline comes best level of the game Seraphites Island,and when WLF soliders comes to an island and begin a war with seraphits the island turns into mess and chaotic place,so i love this level.After Abbys storyline she finds Owen dead with Mel and she want to kill the killers of her friends she find out the theater and revenge Ellie for her friends.And waht can i say about ending Ellie coming to Santa Barbara to stop Flashbacks Where Joel always dies ( Read for text book while u are in Santa Barbara and ull understand what im taking about) and when Ellie overcome Abby and nearly kill Abby she sees Joel alive playing on his guitar and she understands that revenge is ended and she wins,but ull ask to me why didnt she kill Abby because she dont to became a monster that killed mother(Abby) in front of daughter (Lev).And when Ellie sees last flashback with Joel one day before his death where she forgives him for accident in the Salt Lake City Fireflies Hospital and we see that Joel is happy for his forgivnes and after it we see that Joel will be not forgotten.
    Gameplay is super interesting and action elements are breathtaking,weapon customization,stels elements and character animation is perfect.It is a good exapmle of perfect Gameplay.
    Graphics is perfect i think dont need to say anything.
    Level Desing is super cool,a lot of covers and safe rooms where u can rest a bit after battle and u can also collect some resurses on level and craft some cool stuff while u are in battle.    … Expand

Play the game yourself and do not let others turn you off from playing it. And to those who just don't like it because they didn't get what they wanted, grow up. Game is gory and once again not sure why it drew criticism for it. It is a game set in a post apoctalyptic setting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's this simple. The positives: The graphics are fantastic, the game is longer (which can be a negative at times), the level design bigger/better than the original & the gameplay is slightly improved from the original, but nothing drastic. The jump button is a welcome addition, but it's barely useful for anything at all.

    The negatives: The story is abysmal & depressing. I honestly don't know if I ever played a more depressing game with characters I could care less about. Besides the stuff with Joel, Ellie becomes almost completely unlikable, by the end of the game, I didn't care about any of the characters at all. I just wanted it to be over. On top of this, The decisions & conclusions the characters make are completely irrational and illogical. It's a complete disservice to Joel, Ellie and the original story. The gameplay while slightly improved feels dated and gets boring & really drags through the second half.

    It's definitely not worth 60 bucks, I wish I would've waited for a used copy down the road. Selling this one on Ebay!    … Expand

Couse think about it, if u where born in an apocalyptic infected world, killing people would be basic so she doesn't feel anything when killing. And she doesn't feel couse shes used to it in that **** up world. The story is very good and poetic in my opinion, I hope more people like the game and story couse its extremely good and realistic, if the real world would be like the last of us (infected and survival of the fittest) well you would kill because of your survival instinct and you wouldn't think about it cause it would be life or death .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра получилась очень захватывающей и длинной. Как раз один из минусов ее искусственная "затянутость", но это компенсируется геймплеем и боевыми сценами. Если первая часть была добротным фильмом, то вторая часть скорее сериал из 10 серий, 2-3 серии можно было бы удалить.

    НИЖЕ СПОЙЛЕРЫ!!!!

    Многие упрекают ее в уничтожении главного героя, но пройдя полностью для меня это не было огромной потерей. Как раз игра задает настрой и атмосферу, в этот раз она разрушительная и гнетущая. После прохождения наступает опустошение эмоциональное, т.к. на протяжении всей игры сильно привязываешься и к Элли и на удивление к Эбби. Нападки в сторону сюжетных поступков компенсируются внимательным прохождением.

    "Джоэл глупо подставил себя ..."
    Живя в защищенной местности и периодически встречая небольшие группы они с Томми приглашали в Джексон путешественников. Т.к. понимали что голодные, уставшие чужаки вряд ли откажутся от крова и еды.

    "Эбби ну прям мега нереальная ..."
    Её руководило только чувство мести, все навыки и форму, которую она приобретала в WFL, нужны были ради одного... Отмщения за любимого отца. Она была одержима и затем опустошена, после совершенной мести. С WFL ее уже ничто не связывало, после совершенного поступка и она искала новый смысл существования. Защита Лева, отношения с Оуэном как раз были зацепками к ее новой жизни.

    Претензии к навязыванию тем ЛГБТ или прочим штукам тоже необоснованны. В игре не показывают какие-то преимущества или доказывают "повестку", все в мире ТЛОУ2 страдают одинаково. Игра моментами через чур жестока и порой в Элли видишь безумие. Это наводит на мысли кто же в истории истинный злодей и есть ли они вообще в этой части...    … 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.
