    Paid reviews, nothing more, one of the worst franchise which exist, nothing else to say, makers of days gone got all the hate and this studio makes bad game after bad game and gets appreciated for nothing.

    Забавно наблюдать в фильмах, играх, сериалах лгтб, сжв и прочий мусор. Однако в реальном мире в США в 2020 году душат чернокожего ногой полицейский просто ни за что, браво о "великая демократия" (нет)

    У меня нет слов что бы описать эту игру. Она вызывает целую гамму чувств. Здесь все сделано с такой любовью, что одна глава по окружению и наративу может стоит целой игры от обычной студии. Я только в середине пути (а может даже до середины не дошел) и все что я вижу достойно только самой высокой оценки.

    You are amazing guys. Good luck and inspiration.    У меня нет слов что бы описать эту игру. Она вызывает целую гамму чувств.

    Possibly the most engaging story I’ve ever seen in a video game. Improves on the original game in every single way whilst taking the narrative in a whole new direction. Certainly one of the best games of the decade, and one of my new favourites!

    TLOU2 is an amazing experience, the visuals are insane, the gameplay feels good, the music is top notch, and about the most controversial part, the story, all I have to say is that you gotta play this game yourself, and playing it with hate and the tought that it has any sort of propaganda, will ruin your experience and take on the story .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's begin with the good stuff:

    - INSANE graphics, even on the original PS4. Makes you wonder what kind of graphics we'll see on the PS5. Insane level of detail and absolutely LOVELY on the PS4 PRO on a 4K Television. We have to congratulate Naughty Dog for the game's optimisation and looks on a 7 year old gaming hardware.

    - Gameplay mechanics were improved and new tactical opportunities have surfaced, with hiding under cars, beds, distractions, grass. You have multiple ways of approaching the same encounter.

    - Amazing difficulty and accessibility settings. So many choices and custom difficulty settings to make the experience however you want.

    And now for the negatives:

    - No innovation on the gameplay aspect. And I don't mean the mechanics as I mentioned above. I mean the actual execution of the gameplay. You scavenge, you craft, you upgrade weapons just like you did in the first game. Nothing changed on that matter.

    - The story is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. They could have taken on so many different approaches, but the result was awful. We were forced Abby down the throat, the decisions of the characters of the first game are plain stupid, there are plot armours everywhere, the new characters are not being properly introduced fr us to care about them. In general, ND's practice was manipulative, they tried so hard to make us like Abby that it resulted to stupid decisions by everyone.

    - The ending. In the end, nothing in this game mattered. In the first game, there was the hope of the cure. It ended with us thinking of the consequences of the choices Joel made. We thought that we would be paid off in the second game. But no, it's as if the cure was forgotten. With this game's ending, what can we look forward to fot Part 3? Nothing. All the characters are broken, no revenge was exacted, no buildup for the next game EVER happened.

    - This game was advertised as Ellie's Revenge. But in the end, it was all about Abby. Naughty Dog even restricted reviewers not to talk about the second half of the game. ND even went to the length of changing character models from the game to the trailers (I am talking about the Joel-Jesse swap), leading to misleading and false advertising for the game.
    - Joel's Death: Listen. I for sure don't give this a negative for the sole fact that Joel died. It's how we get to it. Joel was a major character and NOTHING about his death are even close to Joel's character. His death was too early in the game, he could give us much more and he could died later in the game, after we have played with Ellie and him, actually living the consequences of Joel's decision to save Ellie. Then we could play as Abby, experiencing her side, with her father's loss, how she met all these people and justifying the revenge against Joel. Then, they find each other and the game ENDS with Abby killing Joel and Ellie setting for revenge, possibly setting a part 3.

    In the end, save your money and buy the game solely for gameplay and graphics, but only after it is half price or something. Do not expect a big payoff or the characters you love.    … Expand

    Thank you Naughty Dog for making such an amazing game. I loved the first one game and this is an absolute masterpiece, one that takes patience, empathy, and grounding yourself in the world the characters are living in to full grasp the compelling story.

I'm not sure how anyone could dislike this game or anyone rating this below a 5, what is your definition of 5? A blu ray disk that spins and has a loading screen? Six years of dedication went into this game and it shows around every corner and building. The emotions this game instilled in me when I was playing was like nothing I've ever experienced in a game before. This is truly a work of art, one that should be applauded for it's accomplishments. For those disliking the story, you might want to consider a lesson in History and the brutally of the real world and perhaps even the foundations of Psychology to comprehend empathy and sympathy. The games story takes some degree of intelligence to appreciate and understanding the meaning of what these fictional characters are experiencing and how the story unfolds for them.… Expand

    Very good graphics, an obsolete gameplay and a mediocre history are the components of The Last Of Us 2. Not so bad like some people but neither so good.

    This game does everything right.

    From a technical standpoint, this is one of the more ambitious games out there. From the graphics, to unprecedented rope physics, all the way to a fully functioning guitar - Naughty Dog surprises with an unbelievable level of detail, without ever sacrificing the game’s performance. The story is what you’d expect from the next title in the installment. With    This game does everything right.

    From a technical standpoint, this is one of the more ambitious games out there. From the graphics, to unprecedented rope physics, all the way to a fully functioning guitar - Naughty Dog surprises with an unbelievable level of detail, without ever sacrificing the game’s performance. The story is what you’d expect from the next title in the installment. With that, I mean that the story meets (and exceeds at times) the unreasonably high expectations anyone may have had after playing the first title. It’s original, heartfelt, and sincere. The characters are so well written that their adventure feels like your adventure, love and heartbreak, and all.

    The gameplay is a perfect extrapolation of what made the first game great. From combat, to stealth passages, to small passages of open world exploration, it doesn’t do anything incredibly new, but it does everything incredibly right. Who should play this: If you’re a person with a heart, and you love heartfelt stories driven by sincerely written characters, you should definitely play this game. It does stand on its own legs, but to understand the characters’ motivations, you’ll need to have played the previous title.

    Who shouldn’t play this: If you can’t stand blood and gore, and strong language, you might want to be careful. This is also not a game for children. Additionally, if you have a problem with the creative director denouncing Nazis, or there being gay characters, you shouldn’t play this game, and instead take the next rocket heading straight into the sun.    … Expand

    For the amazing graphics, acting and all of the other techical stuff that are over the top, I can only give a 7 because the story (more like THE WAY) was written and shown was horrible. You can try news ways of presenting characters and their motives but this one didn't work me. Its two games made into one.

    Technically perfect game, almost perfect gameplay, over the top graphics and facial expfessions. Regarding the story it’s definitely something different from the original, it may not be your cup of tea but it’s an incredibly daring gamble that in my opinion pays off almost completely. Some parts feel too dragged for story reason and the pacing in the second half it’s quite bad.

    Hooo boy, here we go.

    So this game is fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone who (1) loves great story telling (2) loves great graphics and (3) can deal with zombies and jump scares.

    I don't recommend this game to people who feel emasculated by the fact that the main character in this story is a lesbian—it is a shame that the rage of these people has tanked the user score of this game.

Now that I finished it I have to say I loved the game even though I didn't love all parts while playing. The ending redeemed the game for me even though it is not a happy ending. It hit me so god damn hard. At first when playing as Abby I wanted to go back to playing as Ellie and didn't enjoy it but slowly she grew on me and by the end I found myself sympathising with her.… Expand

Then he lost his balance and many good devs, and became **** Midas. This game wasn't a worthy successor to the original. It didn't do its characters justice, and flattened them if anything.

    to be honest the graphics and the gameplay was like the first one.. amazing but the fact that they sell me this game like if I could play with joel angry me a lot!! i'm very confused right now, is this false advertising?

    how could you ruined one of the best game of the ps3 era! there's no point to kill joel so early in the game because he was the main character of the first one and the one I care about I don't give a **** about abby, second omg the finale!! is just a disappointment i can't stand this piece if **** I just wanted to kill abby that ****ing character and revenge Joel.. Guys if this game was about revenge you game fail miserably. The third thing is how stupid Joel and his Brother were in the raid incident omg in the first game joel was more careful sharing information this is so stupid! and how he died is a brutality!

    Finally, 7 seven ****ing years i wait for this to come out only for get tricky and not to have the game that i thought could have, all this second part is a slap in the face for fans and a disrespect for the first one. Who thought this was a good idea in the first place omg this game is pathetic is a shallow of the first one it's a mess!    … Expand

If this game had better writting and proper execution, this game would have been better. Like I said this game has a good story which touches upon some good and complex themes, but only poorly written with less interesting narrative. I respect them for trying something completly different instead of making and following the huge of success of the first game. People are hating on this game for only a single plot element and should ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME. Overall, this isn't near to the perfection of the first last of us, but its still a good game. I mean not everyone can give out a perfect game each time and naughty dog is no exception and there will be times where they can disapoint which is ok. I still felt slightly disappointed, since I have been hyped for this game back in psx 2016 but I'm sure they won't disapoint with their next game. My rating for last of us 2 is an 8/10. This rating mght seem good, but for me naughty dog's range is atleast a 9 to truly deliver. Moving to the technical aspects, the ghraphics are stunning and beautiful and its easily the best and realistic looking game I have ever played. The acting and facial animations are exellent and the sound designing is so realistic and great. The gameplay is far more improved in this game, there are many new mechanics that were added which adds another layer to the gameplay. I really enjoyed the gameplay, it was fluid, realistic and really fun. This time the AI is much more improved making the encounters more challenging and you have to be more stategic to approach them. There are so many small details that are just crazy to see. In brief, its a technical masterpiece and they put **** ton of effort in making this game and few reports say this game costed them at least 100 million to make. They pushed the boundaries of gaming and I can't imagine how their games will look on PS5.… Expand

    Lousy story. The story was so bad I regret buying to buy it. I was expecting a lot more considering the excellent first part but everything was ruined with this game. It feels that everything happened for nothing and I just wasted my time. Graphics are so good but the disapointment is just too big to ignore. Don't buy it. You'll be so, so disappointed.

    The last of us 2 es un juego muy bueno, lo he pasado después de alrededor de 35 horas y me parece un título bastante sólido, aun así pienso que en cuestión de historia este juego es inferior al original, sin embargo la historia no es mala como dicen las personas que no han jugado el título.

    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]
