    Потрясающая игра.
    Графика крутая, геймплей интересный, добавили довольно много крутых фишек. История просто разрывает душу и сердце и заставляет задуматься о многом. Ни секунды не жалею о потраченных деньгах. Naughty Dog проделали отличную работу.
    One love.    Потрясающая игра.

    Amazing gameplay, visuals, soundtrack, but the story.... STILL AMAZING! It’s a genuine, unique, creative and real depiction of human emotions of vengeance, hatred, empathy, perspective and forgiveness, in the lawless and cruel world that is The Last of Us.

A great character study that goes over characters that are one of the most fully realized characters ever and that make you empathize with them even if you don’t always agree with their actions. Naughty Dog once again has made an unforgettable experience for the PlayStation. This sequel is a dark game and even though it may leave you feeling empty and down at the end, it gives the series a chance to grow, evolve, and continue on for The Last of Us Part III… Expand

    Amazing game. It's the generation of self entitlement that review bomb games for not getting the story they think they deserve. The story is Naughty Dogs to do whatever they want with and for us to experience. Play the first one and then this, you will NOT regret it for a second.

Honestly when I first played it I had to sit on it for a while, in my head I gave it like a 7/10, between my emotions with Joels death and the amount of screentime on Abby I thought the game was quite flawed but still great. After thinking about it for days, looking at video essays and other opinions, I looked at my own opinion afterwards and honestly they weren’t flaws, it’s a complex game for sure but a welcome one, Abby was an interesting character and I realised Joel had more flaws than as a person than we had previously seen, Abby had good reason to hate Joel and… Expand

    It may seem kinda forced to give anything a 10/10, but, in my opinion, i really can't think of any flaws that this game has. This just my opinion in the moment, it may change with time, but, until now, I've never felt such a great connection with fictional characters and their stories. Congratulations to everybody on the Naughty Dog team!

    Good game. It's better than the first Last of Us. It's even better than Kingdom Hearts 3. This game is long and has LOTS of details like Red Dead Redemption 2, Skyrim, and 2018's God of War combined. It's an awesome game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So… I’ve finished the last of us part II today…. The game is a freaking masterpiece! Once again ND teaches how to make a GOTY (for me). And one of the best things for me is that this game shows so much respect to the first game that we loved. Let me start by the graphics there simply the best graphics that you can see in a video game right now… The game play is amazing very improved from the first last of us, I love that they added so much more stuff in the crafting and the exploration part! I loved the idea of semi open world parts that they added to the game. I really like that we can see what Ellie is thinking about everything in her journal. The notes that we find add so much more to the game… The AI has improved a lot since the first game, it’s not perfect but it’s improved! The sounds in the game are simply so realistic and amazing! The music is art, although I would like some more! And last but not least the amazing story! There are no words to describe the story in this masterpiece! The last of us part II it’s not a game… it’s an experience, it’s a feeling, it’s art! It’s the game that leaves you with your mouth open for you only to say what did I just played… All the cut scenes of the game are breathtaking. Please do yourself a favor and go experience this masterpiece! Congratulations to ND and a big thank you for giving us the last of us part II!… Expand

Jogo incrível... terminei nem conseguia respirar kkk a história e principalmente os personagens transformam nosso espírito, nos trazendo empatia pelo suposta “vilã“ que depois percebemos que a tal “vilã” Sequer existi, pra ela, em sua história, é sua própria heroína. Todos tem seus motivos, todos tem suas ambições, todos tem seus defeitos. Algo em comum, todos são humanos. O jogo reflete a humanidade da forma mais linda possível. Uma obra prima.… Expand

The story is heartbreaking and engrossing, the perspective switch half through managed to humanize what could have been a generic villain. This game will one day be appreciated for the genius that it is much like Silent Hill 2 and MGS2.… Expand

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. Even better than the first. Naughty Dog's craftsmanship is only rivaled by Rockstar, and this is their best game yet. So obvious from their reviews that most people who "hate" this game didn't even play it. If you don't like what happens in the story, fine, but the story is very well written and acted. The world immersion is unbelievable.This game is an absolute masterpiece. Even better than the first. Naughty Dog's craftsmanship is only rivaled by Rockstar, and this is their best game yet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. IF I CAN SAY ONE THING IT’S DON’T LET REVIEWS STOP YOU FROM PLAYING THE GAME

    I hadn’t played the original, so when this game came out decided to play them back to back for a seemless ‘TLOU’ experience. Enough has been said about the gameplay, which is excellent although not much has changed from the original..... it would have been nice for ND to have come up with something other than a nominal ‘jump’ button. Regarding the controversial story, maybe playing the games one after another made the death of Joel easier for me. I hadn’t waited 7 years to see him again, In fact it was about 24 hours after I saw him slaughter some defenceless surgeons and steal Ellie - potentially damning mankind for eternity. For me the first game was excellent - and the second game picked up exactly where that ended. Sure, they may have tried harder for more ‘shock moments’ - but the character building was realistic for a post apocalyptic work of anti-hero’s. My only true criticism of this game is the length. I was fortunate enough to have the time to play through both games in quick succession, but for a casual gamer playing a few hours here and there this would take months.A Also I felt the ending should have given the player the decision as to whether Abby lived or died - similar to Trevor in GTA. A real test as to whether ND had done enough to make the player forgive Abby (I would have killed her for sure)

    I’m disappointed that in a few years time, those who don’t know the controversy around this game will see this review score and think this is an average game - because love it or hate it average is certainly not what it is.    … Expand

    Unpopular opinion: by the end, Abby's character was *better* than both Joel and Ellie. At least she was attempting to redeem herself despite her rage...

    If half the gamers review bombing this game were a bit more 'Abby' they'd be able to move up out of thier mothers' basements and facilitate a half decent discussion about the game.

    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]
