There are some story elements that could've definitely been handled better. Now coming to the negative reviews, some of them make very valid points, but most of them are driven by a desire to bash this game no matter what. This is evident by the massive amount of zeros this title received before the game could possibly be finished by anyone. So my final verdict is to give this a try, and if you don't want to pay full price, you can wait till this goes on sale to decide for yourself. People are unnecessarily inserting politics where there's none.… Expand

    Loved the game, the gameplay is very satisfying and almost every aspect of this game is an improvement of the first one, the encounters with the infected and humans are way better in this game, it kept me at the edge of my seat.

That, and the pacing of the game are the main problem of the game, it has too many slow sections, but they are tolerable. Just because of the encounters in this game i suggest buying it. Even if you take the story away, the game is a solid 8/10 in my opinion, it's a really fun game.… Expand

    La verdad la pase muy bien jugandolo, todo lo que tiene que ver con el apartado técnico es un trabajo surrealista, solamente por eso no le pondré una nota negativa, pero la historia si que deja mucho que desear, Neil druckman te quedo grande tu propio proyecto, una lastima!

    Spent 25+ hours looking for the sixty dollar value spent on this. Searched every nook and cranny. Trophies were attained one after another during my quest. Finally found it. In what has to be the most brave, bold, and revolutionary step in gaming history--I got to herd sheep.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game requires that you open your mind to understand that it is a character driven story and not a story to affirm yourself. None of the beloved characters are perfect people...some people fail to understand that the Joel from this game is a softened person because Jackson and meeting Ellie made him human again. Some people Forget what a mean person Joel was...almost evil...since the death of Sarah. Some would say he was like that to survive but even Tommy says in the first game that Joel did things that gave him nightmares implying that his behavior made them go their separate ways...Tommy even says that he'd rather be dead than living with those nightmares that Joel Gave him. The love of Ellie Gave Joel his humanity back saying that from the first game a lot people failed to understand that Abby's story is similar to Joel's too not only with Ellie's. Ellie doesn't kill Abby in the end not for mercy...but because by the end of Abby's Journey Abby is a a redeemed person who also is a child protector...just like Joel...Ellie has an insight that she would be killing Lev's Joel(Abby)...Naughty dog even inserts a Joel's image right at moment to explain that...the gameplay, gfx and level design are top notch the best in the industry...the only problem is that people who didn't understand the first game that is a story of redemption and not only protection...this game shows...that other people may not forget your sins and that people can also redeem themselves just like Joel did...… Expand

    THE LAST OF US PART II THOUGHTS.

    I finally finished The Last Of Us Part II. Graphical it is a marvel/masterpiece to look at everything within the game. The detail and the enivornments look amazing. The gameplay is really good and if it ain't broke don't fix it motto that I learned from a long time ago. It follows the same as The first game and does a couple of new things that is    THE LAST OF US PART II THOUGHTS.

    I finally finished The Last Of Us Part II.

    Graphical it is a marvel/masterpiece to look at everything within the game. The detail and the enivornments look amazing.

    The gameplay is really good and if it ain't broke don't fix it motto that I learned from a long time ago. It follows the same as The first game and does a couple of new things that is good too. Although you do the same things a lot and does get tired for a bit but didn't bother me too much.

    Now onto the story/characters. I have to say the story in this one is not as outstanding as the first one. I can see what they were trying to do with Ellie and new character Abby. I can understand the message they were trying to do as it is about Revenge as the main theme but I felt it focused on it too much and it did get a little sloppy in writing structure.

    It didn't have a glimmer of light too much unless it is the flashbacks which they were good to look at.

    I dont mind a dark story and knew I was going to expect that when playing The Last Of Us Part II but too much. Also I felt it did drag a little bit and tried to do too much. If it had tightened up bits in the middle then I would have said it is brilliant. Some scenes I felt were in the wrong spots needed some moving.

    I didn't like killing the dogs and why was that in there. It puzzled me they were meant to be bad but still didn't like it.

    I do love Ellie and Dina's relationship in the story and I did like Abby with Vara and Lev as they produced some nice character moments. I do like they showed that everyone has shades of grey which I feel a lot of people didn't get at all but needed some better writing.

    Now the ending I wasn't pissed off about I understood why they did it but again I think the writing again was a little off and make people go what the.....

    It is a good game and worth checking it out. I wouldn't be replaying it over and over again like The Last Of Us but worth giving a try.

    I would give it a 7/10 for the look of the game and the gameplay being excellent. The story lets it down as it was a bit long and played out but understood why they did.

    I don't mind if The Last Of Us Part III doesn't happen    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Это скорее не оценка, а размышление о том, что я не увидел ничего из того, за что топят игру вниз.
    Две интересные и разные стороны одной истории, имеющие общий знаменатель - месть.
    Атмосферный геймплей постапокалиптического мира, открытого для исследований - каждая записка, найденная героинями в игре, способна подтолкнуть на размышление или на другие эмоции. Конечно, если вы не сели играть в игру "лишь бы скорее пробежаться".
    А эти "тупые" шутки, которые временами заставляют смеяться всерьез! "Кто самый тихий зверь на ферме? Цыплёнок!"

    Более того, до выхода игры я думал, что должна погибнуть Дина и месть будет строиться на этом. Думал, что из-за этого и минусят игру. Но смерть Джоэла не глупа, аргументирована.
    Все говорят о том, что Эбби стероидный трансгендер - но забывают подумать о том, что она ежедневно тренировалась для того, чтобы отомстить за отца.
    В игре множество моментов, понять которые можно лишь подумав и пропустив это через себя - но игроки будто отучились чувствовать и мыслить - им нужно, чтобы все было подано сразу "на блюдечке"

    К слову, трейлер, показанный нам ранее, где Дина целуется с Элли, я воспринял с мыслью "Чёё?". Но поиграв в игру, пережив эту историю, и увидев этот момент с продолжением ближе к концу игры - совершенно другие эмоции.

    Многие жалуются на однообразность геймплея - вы что? Вспомните первую часть - то же выживание, тот же лут, тот же напарник (почти тот же). Затянутая игра? Вам дали сюжета на 25 часов (мне потребовалось именно столько для прохождения) и я разочарован лишь в том, что игра все-таки закончилась. Ах да, пропаганда.. Странно, что за эти 25 часов я ничего из пропаганды не заметил. Два поцелуя на 25 часов (один из которых мы видели в трейлере). Кто-то увидел в игре азиатов, чернокожих и прочие этнические расы - ребята, да то, что вы делаете акцент на этом - это странно! Я даже этого не заметил, потому что был увлечен игрой, а не поисками до чего бы дое**ться.

    Я считаю, что эта игра ничем не уступает ни сюжетно, ни технически, ни эмоционально.
    Такое ощущение, что людям вбили, что игра о лесбиянках, толерантности и других меньшинствах. Люди начитались обзоров от тех, кто прошел игру на ютубе, прочитал статьи о сливах и не более. Чтобы судить о игре, нужно играть в нее.

    Для меня эта часть - лучшее, что было на этом поколении консоли.    … Expand

    I've never been more disappointed in a game ever. I was a huge fan of the original and I think that's why I dislike this sequel so much. If you were a big fan of The Last of Us I strongly recommend to avoid playing part 2. This game will go down in history as the wrong way to make a sequel

    Characters were well portrayed; but implementation of the story continued with hazy writing, as well as frustrating and sometimes confusing flashbacks is just a burden for players. Character swap occurs wayyy too often, and the story truly became boring.

Porém esse não tem um lado certo seja Ellie ou abby pois cada um tem seu ponto de vista e julga está fazendo o certo pois no mundo que se passa não tem mais definição de certo ou errado.
    Bom esse 2 jogo se sustenta inteiro no 1 E tudo que ocorre aqui foi tudo causado pelas ações do Joel, por favor parem de reclamar da morte do Joel pq ele moveu tudo ele foi o foco msm morto o jogo foi todo desenvolvido nele por causa dele ! E outra não existe morte heróica em um mundo pós apocalíptico, Oq realmente existe e gente matando gente pra sobreviver e mortes uma mais covarde que as outras, fui tudo tão bem feito algo que me incomodou foi a minha breve sensação de por mais que a Ellie seja a protagonista senti que abby teve muito mais foco que ela mais entendo Em fim se eu ficar aqui dizendo vou contar o jogo todo pq é maravilhoso Mds :)    … Expand

    Ultimate letdown of a game in the series that people loved and waited for 7 years. No upgrades in gameplay, unnecessary emphasis on LGBTQ, forcing the player to sympathize with the villain of the story, a very dissociated and weak storyline that pampers to a certain group of people, not caring about the real gamers and fans of the series.

    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.
