    Wonderful game with fantastic improvements compared to first one, naughty dog was daring on this scenario and they did great, they fooled all fans in the first place and that's a terrific plot twist most people can't swallow. I would have rated 9/10 because of few bugs and the crunch which happened during development but 10/10 is fair enough seeing how stupid people can rate 0/10 aWonderful game with fantastic improvements compared to first one, naughty dog was daring on this scenario and they did great, they fooled all fans in the first place and that's a terrific plot twist most people can't swallow.

    This game is at least GREAT. Maybe not 10/10, but since it got a LOT of bad notes, I'm willing to give more then I would normally do (which is solid 8,5 or 9).

    All those flaws that I can see in other users reviews are pointless and I didn't noticed them.

    Instead I noticed well written story, which is deep and make you think, non-binary characters (there is no one who is only good or only evil), great (amazing) graphics + animations + facial expressions, touching cut-scenes (because of great facial animations + dubbing + story), immersive game-play, superb audio (including English dubbing).

    Maybe the plot is not as good as in Part One, but Part Two is nonetheless great, I just felt more "empty inside" and confused after I finished Part One, which had very emotional ending. Part Two had the emotions more balanced over the entire game time.

    I hope that if NaughtyDog will be brave enough to make 3rd part of this incredible story, they will manage to keep up the good work and good story and they will make it only if they would be sure the game will be at least as amazing as Part Two!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly beautiful game. The graphics and game play are just as good, if not better than the first one. The story pushes boundaries that we aren’t comfortable with. The world of The Last of Us is brutal and unforgiving. To think that Joel wouldn’t face any consequences after his actions in the conclusion of the first game is ridiculous. He slaughtered dozens of people as well as murdered the only person who could make a vaccine. Don’t get me wrong, Joel is my favorite and I’d love for him to have had a happier ending, but I’m also not naive in thinking that just because he is a main character he is invincible. The dual story lines is something that helps put you in the perspective of everyone involved. Abby had just as much validation for her actions as Joel did for his. The representation of LGBTQ+ characters is also something I personally feel is amazing. Anyone who discredits these characters because of their sexual orientation has no right to play this game and are unwanted in this fan base. Do not let early leaks of this game deter you from the fact that it is incredible. Play the game for yourself before forming an opinion, don’t just go off of what some bitter strangers on the internet said.… Expand

When i actually sat down and beat the game myself i felt like an idiot for not believing in this studio, it made me re-evaluate how i look at reviews and what to think about reviews and online discourse surrounding games. The only real hiccup I've thought of is that there are a handful of pacing issues and a portion does drag enough to make it off putting to some especially if they aren't entirely bought into whats happening yet. All id say is play the game for yourself and see because this not just another company ruining their properties because they're "woke" or "pandering".… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ending of the last of us 2 is simply perfect in all its forms manages to involve you in a crazy way to keep everything hidden until the end and then tell you things as they really are. Too bad that people do not understand and do not want to understand what Neil drukmann tried to do and something new in the narrative and who did not understand it is not his fault but just needs time, which then may not like but honestly I think that I am the most beautiful final ever the motivations of the characters who are alive have their own idea and ideologies and if you do not reflect yourself and why you do not live there in that world it is difficult to understand what to do in such a situation but a choice is a choice and no one can know which is the best choice for this it is better to live with it and have no regrets. Eventually ellie forgave Joel and hers was not a journey of vengeance but of forgiveness. In a word, a masterpiece. Sorry for my inglish I am Italian… Expand

    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida, uma narrativa que sai sos padrões e tira o usuário de sua zona de conforto, te coloca no papel de vilao e tira a imagem que dentro de um mundo apocalíptico zumbi existam heróis, e que na verdade são todos lutando para sua sobrevivência .

    “Bold story telling,” and great character perspectives. One of the best games I’ve ever played. I feel the user scores are down because a lot of people didn’t like the ending and some of the decisions made by the main character. Furthermore, there is a love story some may disagree with, but get over it...This game is a good one and worth the adventure.

    I can see how the game can be overwhelming for some. Especially those who consumed all it has to offer in a short amount of time. I personally could only play through it in short bursts and I believe that gave me supple time to take it all in.

Especially those who consumed all it has to offer in a short amount of time. I personally could only play through it in short bursts and I believe that gave me supple time to take it all in. I think the breaks in between the play through is what really allowed me to enjoy the game. This game and the world naughty dog has created is brutal. It’s lawless it’s hopeless and beyond redemption. It is a mirror of the first game in the aspect that the original painted beauty in struggle and at times desolation. It gave us hope in Ellie, a bright animated girl who biologically represented salvation for the human race at the brink of extinction. It gave us redemption in Joel who at the time was plagued and broken with grief. These characters go through so much and yet the game leads you on with hope. Even in the apocalypse , the little things in life will keep us going. Even if it’s hard, we will survive. I think it’s important to remember that the original game ends on a lie. Not just a simple lie but one in fact that plagues the world of the hope of ever returning the world to normal. To us and Joel, Ellie is salvation and redemption and comfort. Joel’s lie has irreparable consequences. Even more irreparable are the actions he takes to “save” Ellie. With Ellie alive, the “hope” we have believed in gets taken from us.. Everything gets taken from us. There is nothing left saving. Our parallel characters are drawn to the grief, madness, violence, that has all but consumed this world because that is what life has become. I think it’s important to understand that Joel has only been good to a select few people since the collapse of the world. As lovable as he is our quiet cowboy step daddy isn’t a good person. In this world, no one is. No relief comes from Abbys “revenge” there is no release. Abby and Ellie both continue to “lose” until the climax of this game. I really enjoyed how badass both were as fate sends them on a warpath headed straight towards each other. Ellie a Savvy and cunning survivalist, stalking, ambushing, and outsmarting her enemies. Abby a walking tank of a woman ripping and tearing through everything with an Arsenal. They kill. A lot . For what? Nothing. This game is bleak, it’s nihilistic, it’s depressing. Full of touching moments but they are taken from us. The game never loses its tension and uneasiness throughout and the gameplays loop is satisfying. The world is fantastically beautiful and the combat is some of the grittiest action, stealth I’ve ever played. I can understand where the hate can come from. I think naughty dog made a wise decision not to follow the hype train or cater to the fans of the first game. They told their story how they wanted to, for better or worse. As for the controversial ending I think it’s justifiable given how tired, and hurt these characters are and what they’ve been through to that point and what there is to gain from all of it which is absolutely nothing. Nothing they do changes circumstances they’ve been put in. Nothing will bring back the dead. Most importantly they’ve both fallen into situations that might change the future for both of them. I believe it’s something they both deserved to see, hence the ending. To me, that makes perfect sense. I think Tlou2 is the perfect continuation to the decision made in the the first game. One that paints the consequences of actions in a visceral way. I think it’s a stepping stone and a great set piece to a great possible conclusion to this world and story in terms of a trilogy. One that I hope to see and hope naughty dog can pull off amid all the sometimes unwarranted hate precedent in the current climate of gamer culture. They took a risk with the unorthodox story telling and I personally applaud them for it. A lot people went in expecting more TLOU and that’s not a bad thing. But part 2 makes both stand out as 2 separate entities as naughty dog didn’t stray or hesitate to make their world and story as unrelenting and desolate as it actually would be. I had a ride and my emotions were everywhere on the spectrum. I think no matter what, this game will make you FEEL something. If it does, no matter whatever it is you feel, regardless of if you like it or not, it has succeeded.… Expand

    The graphics are superb and animation transitions were extremely real. During my playthrough I didn't experience any glitches or gaming breaking bugs, the only thing that bothered me were the checkpoints during encounters, the game creates a checkpoint after each enemy kill, probably for those who want to go on without challenges. Later in the game I found the option to restart the entire encounter which in my opinion should be displayed more prominently. The frame-rate is solid on the Playstation Pro, although I wish there was the option for 1080p60fps which would benefit the graphics by an immense amount.
    Even though there were roughly 25 hours of content, I wished for more.    … Expand

Про структуру локаций это вообще отдельная тема,там даже есть уровень с типо открытым миром, в котором много доп квестов. Графика тоже на высоте, даже не представляю насколько лучше она станет на ps5. Можно снять баллы только за то, что иногда перестрелок было так много, что они надоедали и хотелось уже посмотреть сюжет и за то, что сюжет слегка затянули, можно было заканчивать уже в театре и все.

    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.
