    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game now and I just have to say that I loved it.

    Technical:
    This game is beautiful in every sense. The models, textures, sound and animations are all masterfully done. The character animation in particular, how you character interacts with the world and the fluid blending of animations together the art team here deserves so much praise. It is the little things when it comes to this all of the attention to detail in the small secondary animations, Ellie's bag gently swaying as she runs along, putting her hand on a wall when she is next to it, using her left hand to loot when the right is busy interacting with something else. It's these small touches that just ground the character in the environment and just make things look so much more natural. The top notch character modeling, texturing and primary animation definitely helps too. The mo-capped cutscenes are out of this world as well so natural and life like especially the facial animation which is so easy to get wrong, I think I'd need far more than 5000 characters to truly convey how amazingly this game is textured, modeled and animated.

    Now lets just talk about enemies for a bit. Your enemies aren't just enemies they have some humanity about them which is done through masterful use of sound and animation. From them calling out their friends name in horror after you've shot them, to your enemy begging you not to kill them when you grab them from behind to the struggling and as the hope and life fades from their beautifully animated faces. I played this game killing as few humans as possible because I just felt awful every time I had to do it and no other game has ever made me feel like that about rank and file enemies.

    This game feels visceral, gritty and uncomfortable to play (in the best way possible) and everything feeds into that from the sound design, the animations and the gameplay.

    There were some definite sections that felt a little drawn out and there were some points I wanted another way to deal with problems other than violence. One section jumps to mind where I encountered some WLF deserters in a hotel and one of them tried to attack me thinking I was sent to kill them so I took one of them hostage and stood there almost waiting for Ellie to say something but after a while just realized that there was no way to end this encounter without just murdering them all. Which I get it, it's not that kind of game but still it just kind of felt like the game was limiting me in the way I wanted to solve the situation. But for the most part your actions in game make sense with the way the narrative is being told.

    No game is perfect (hence the 9) and there are going to be poor moments and better ones but I assure you that the good moments and the moments where everything just makes sense far outweigh the bad ones.

    Story:
    There are a lot of complaints here about story and I just have to say I don't get them. At the start you're presented with a villain and a classic revenge story. As the story goes on you see the lengths that Ellie goes through in a series of sequences that left me feeling genuinely uncomfortable at some points. Then it all gets flipped on it's head and as you play as Abby you grow attached to the characters you just spent the first 10+ hours doing anything in your power to kill. You see the WLF as a community trying to survive rather than the brutal revolutionary group that you were facing as Ellie. Then when you see the two of them facing off I actually didn't want to see harm come to either of them.

    The game almost tells two stories back to back, the revenge story in the present day and Ellie and Joels relationship as Ellie grows up after the last game through flashbacks. These two stories seem to mimic each other as the game goes on with the confrontation about the events of the first game coming at the height of the revenge story, both stories are at the point of "There can be no forgiveness" both for Abby and for Joel. We see the toll that revenge takes on Ellie as the game goes on, both physically and mentally, she is beaten, cut, bruised and bitten but keeps going, she loses people dear to her and keeps going and when she finally gets out and gets the farm life that her and Dina dreamed of she is still consumed with the need for revenge and just goes back. Then in the final scenes we see her save Abby from the Rattlers and then try one more time to get her revenge but gets a flashback to the night where she told Joel she will try to forgive him and similarly she lets Abby go and seems to try and forgive her too.

    This is a story about revenge the lengths someone will go to for it, the damage it will do and how revenge begets more revenge begets more revenge. But most importantly it's a story about forgiveness and how it can be the hardest thing of all to do. Everyone has their own side of the story there is no good here, no evil, just different perspectives    … Expand

    It was WAAAAAY BETTER than the first one.
    It defies the concept of revange we are used to (glorified by HOLLYWOOD movies) and challenges the the player by gameplay.

    Oh, and Abby is the best girl and Ellie is just a piece of ****

    This game has one of the dumbest stories I have ever seen. Ellie gets turned into a complete idiot.

She does all of this without ever questioning her actions or taking a moment to reflect on what she's really doing or why. Compared to the character she was this change of character is very contrived, and frankly, unbelievable. They turned her into a one dimensional killing machine for the sake of fulfilling their story objectives, with no regard for the audience or the previous character that Ellie was. They could have made this story work but they failed, miserably. I am completely aw struck at the positive reviews this game is getting. People are ignoring very serous issues with this game. What is really sad is that the user score for this game is way over inflated because M e t a Crit. deleted thousands of negative reviews. This website is no longer worth even looking at anymore.… Expand

    Greatest game I have ever played. Truly takes your breath away how beautiful the characters, worlds and story is. The story I felt was a great continuation of the first and I hope they continue with a 3rd game. Don't be deterred by the juvenile review bombers on here anyone who has played the game loved it.

    Amazing game with a powerful story that requires the player to abandon prejudices and take it maturely (sadly, a lot of haters weren't able to do that). The story breaks cliches that are often seen in revenge stories and Marvel-like movies, demanding a great exercise of empathy and emotional intelligence from the player.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll admit the gameplay was cool and with that i mean the looting, fighting and climbing. but story was not to good in my opinion. the biggest reason being cause they killed Joel like i grew up playing the last of us 1(i'm talking 12 to 17 years old) which made me create a relationship with Joel and Ellie especially Joel. And to then see him die the way he did just broke my heart and then they expected me to like the character who killed him? hell no like i really don't care about Abby or her dad and i fully understand why Joel did what he did to save his 2nd daughter figure since he had already lost his actual daughter. If you are gonna kill a main character do it the right way and a few examples of games who did that are Red Dead Redemption 2(Arthur) and Telltale The Walking Dead(Lee). I also feel like if we are gonna kill hundreds of people and then just let Joel's actual killer go it's just stupid… Expand

    Игра влетела с двух ног в моё сердце и останется там навсегда!!! Для меня это абсолютная игра поколения PS4 и глупо оценивать её по 10-ти бальной шкале. Вряд ли в ближайшее время у кого-то получится сделать настолько пробирающую на эмоции игру. Блин, тут понятие «игра» носит другой характер: в игры играют дети, а в эту... взрослые люди с уже состоявшимся мнением, личным опытом и своими взглядами на жизнь в целом. Некоторые сцены, хотя нет, целые главы, настолько круто срежиссированы, что в какой-то момент мне пришла в голову мысль: «Хочу оказаться там, на её месте, и плевать, что вокруг разрушенный мир, а за каждым углом поджидает смертельная опасность»!
    Я полностью согласен со всеми поступками главных героев (игровых персонажей) и их спутников. Будь я на их месте, то поступил бы точно так же, не колеблясь ни секунды!

    Отдельно хочу сказать про звук: несколько раз брал приставку в студию и устраивал там ночные игровые сессии. Так вот, мои акустические системы позволяют выставить так называемую «референсную громкость». При её выставлении я ориентировался на человеческую речь: в настройках игры есть параметр «динамический диапазон» – естественно, в положении «максимальный». И вот когда я первый раз наткнулся на группу враждебных солдат, тут-то и открылись все прелести перестрелок в игре (которые и без этого шикарны)!

    – Выстрел из дробовика в заброшенном железном гараже отозвался жалящим звоном в ушах, чуть геймпад не выронил из рук, но времени на растерянность нет: теперь все противники знали моё местоположение.
    Поставив взрывную ловушку, я ринулся в ближайшие заросли и замер: противник уже в паре метров от меня, ещё один шаг и происходит взрыв!!!
    Опять звон в ушах, уже не только у меня, но и у моей героини!
    Ааа, адреналин зашкаливает: и страшно, и жутко, но при этом не покидает чувство восхищения от происходящего. Люди, чьих друзей я только что убил, орут, надрывая голос от скорби и злости, выкрикивая имена павших товарищей, и с ещё большей яростью преследуют меня!
    Геймпад мокрый, руки дрожат, секундная паника, смерть...

    Следом экран с советами и кнопка продолжить.

    П.С. В дальнейшем я семь раз думал прежде чем выстрелить и обнаружить себя!

    П.П.С. Играл на обычной версии PS4. Обязательно пройду игру вновь на консоли следующего поколения!    … Expand

    It's a masterclass in storytelling.
    It is a very challenging story that is designed to make you feel conflicted - and you really need an open mind, but highly rewarding if you can allow yourself to enjoy it.

If you want some Tarantino revenge tale, you'll be disappointed. Even though I didn't love it as much as the first one, I can't stop thinking about this one, and I really hope the artists behind this are not discouraged by the bad reviews - we need more of bold, brave stories like this that don't play safe and pander to audiences just to make money.    … Expand

    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.
