    The story is amazing. It' s not of theses thousands of stories good fighting evil. It is humans fighting humans. Both sides are doing good things and evil things. That makes the story really realistic. The story is about humans struggling with themselves and what society wants them to be. So this isn t a story to make you feel good. It is a story to make you think about what you explore. And you have to think a lot.
    By playing both sides the player learns, to know different points of views for one incident. And so in the end it isn't easy to say what ist wrong and what ist right, or if there even is wring and right.
    Only the ending could have done a bit better.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. Anyone giving it a bad rating is either brain dead, hasn't played it, or is a butt hurt pansy who cries every time they don't get what they want. The story and gameplay are brilliant and the game looks BEAUTIFUL. Everyone throwing a tantrum over certain events in the plot need to get over themselves.

Многим он не понравился, но я скажу так, во-первых - саму историю в основном писал Нил Даркман и вы думаете он что, не имеет права закончить свою историю, как он хочет? Во-вторых - сюжет развивается, держит в напряжении, в нем есть неожиданные повороты. Да и вообще он очень эмоциональный, а когда еще и играет эта музыка.... я чуть не заплакал на концовке. Это правда игра, которая заслуживает внимания, особенно тогда, когда ты ее ждал 7, сука, лет. Я бы снял 2 балла, все-таки в ней есть минусы, но за ТАКОЙ не заслуженый хейт в ее сторону, я хоть и не много, но хочу восстановить справедливость. Да, она не идеальна, над ней постарались вонючие фемки и другая шваль, внешность Элли могла быть намного красивее, как и Дины. Но заметьте, даже после того, как Ноти Дог под давлением фашистов, изуродовали Элли, она все равно прекрасна, как ни крути.По поводу ЛГБТ, скажу так, мне по душе такая раскладка личном плане Элли, это иногда очень мило и не смотрится, конечно как то отвратительно по сравнению со сценой, как раком ставят Эбби, тем более, как мы видим из дополнения, Элли уже в детстве нравились только девочки. Так что, я не считаю, что есть прям прямая пропаганда. И еще кардинальный минус этой игры, это парт за Эбби. Мне, как и многим игрокам, она не понравилась и я бы хотел в идеале, чтобы он был хотя бы чуть-чуть по меньше. Но я примерно предполагаю, почему это сделано. Я думаю, это ради еще большей привязанности к Элли в сравнение с Эбби. Вообщем игра отличная и полита дерьмом она совсем не справедливо. Напридумывали себе что-то, задрали планку выше небес и потому ноете: «почему так слааабо». Я люблю The Last of Us. И эти игры для меня теперь самые любимые.… Expand

    Absolute perfection. The best video game I've ever played, with a story that floored me from start to finish. I've played through it twice and gotten the platinum trophy on it, and I can't recommend it enough. The combat is amazing and will forever change how I look at future video games. A must-buy for fans of the original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished this game 2 times so far. I find it super dark, scary, violent, which is not rare for games, but also the game is not restful, the story has unexpected turns, and most of all, it didn’t let me be neutral towards characters’ actions. And that makes the game different.

    Every character in the game does things which seem to be right on the one hand, and they are absolutely destructive on another. That’s why I don’t want to call them good or bad, however, I think Ellie is the only character who will be able to forget what had happened and live a happy life following her own decisions.

    Joel. By taking away Ellie from the hospital Joel broke her dream to help Fireflies in a vaccine invention and destroyed the only hope to save humanity. Even if he was not able to let her die as Ellie reminded Joel’s daughter, Ellie was a different person with different intentions and she couldn’t and didn’t want to be a replacement. It caused a conflict between them. Joel looked like a caring farther and his death was difficult to watch. At the same time after it happened in the very beginning, it became a fact to accept somehow. And then I full of regrets continued playing full of regrets.

    Abby. Playing Abby’s part was so exhausting, it felt like runaround. Intentions and actions of this character seem incompatible through the whole game. And this is the most rare thing in games, I’ve never met such plot turns in other games, main characters often do “what they have to do” or “what gamers would approve”. But with Abby it’s like watching (and playing) when somebody is doing stupid actions.

    She devoted her life to revenge of her farther’s death, and again, it couldn’t return him back to her. And taking her loss this intention is clear. She was a member WLF. The organisation doesn’t leave many chances to strangers and its own members to go their own way, especially when this way was not beneficial to WLF. After getting back to WLF from Jackson, after taking revenge for her farther, the first thing that Abby did, she left the organisation without permission before a big fight against WLF rival in order to meet her friend who had doubts in WLF mission. It felt like Abby didn’t want to stick to WLF any more, like all the duties she started taking unwillingly.

    After the first part, Ellie’s part, exactly before a denouement, the game is being cut short and Abby’s part has been started. It felt like unexpected nuisance a few steps before the sweet relief.

    After escaping from Seattle, Abby is looking for Fireflies. She didn’t notice that due to pandemic the world didn’t leave so many choices to a single person. People rolled back to previous forms of relationships and the most popular way to have and to mine food and resource is when one human is being enslaved by another. She got into Rattlers' slavery, however, WLF or Seraphits were not far from that.

    Ellie. It is amazing how responsible Ellie is. She knows what she wants and at the same time she makes her friends responsible making up something together. Playing her part was so elating, it felt like doing right thing, from the beginning till the very end. In the last fight with Abby, in the last scene, Ellie realises that taking revenge for Joel wouldn’t return him back and she forgiving Abby.    … Expand

The first game is about Love. Part 2 about Hate. People love the first one and so many hate the second. Yes, you can be critical with the story or the gameplay. But giving it such bad reviews is absolutely none sense.

    I find it brilliant, entertaining, emotional, depressing, hurtful and especially different. This game is not about revenge and it’s moral message. It’s about redemption and the development of Ellie as a character after what happened in the first one. The story really adds up. Just play it with a non-biased open mind and you will see. There are so many messages provided that you probably don’t get them when playing it the first time (you might feel some of them though). The graphics are outstanding and rich in every detail. Each scene is well chosen and the sound gives the rest for a perfect atmosphere. It is really joy to play!! I also appreciate the incredible soundtrack with the emotional reference to the first one. It’s a dark emotion though. But life in the TLOU world is that way. Which makes it even more realistic. Only criticism here is that it’s a bit too long and the AI could be smarter.

    If you love the previous Naughty Dog games with its movie storyline gameplay you definitely should play this one too. If you are emotionally unstable and seek for open world or happy fun shooters, this one is probably not for you.

    Yes, the story could be different, giving it the chance to be like most the other games out there. But let me quote Joel: “I know you wish things were different. I wish things were different. But they ain’t!”

    Enjoy the ride!    … Expand

I have a reason to give it a 5-star review well, I know that some people are just here to defend de game or hate on it and I get it, Im just here to tell MY opinion on the game. I bought this game when it came out and played and after I finished the game I realised that yeah naughty dog did put us in tears but if you see they fitted everything perfectly to make us cry and feel what the characters in game felt, naughty dog put us in 2 shoes Ellie's and Abby's they made us look at the same challenge but from different points of view and if you see not every video game does that right? Naughty dog made us HATE Abby at first but at least have some little mercy after making us play as her. Not only Abby if not our favorite main character Ellie they tried to make her look like a bad guy as well, they made us look at 3 different perspectives of Ellie and Abby which are 1 persona, 2 persona, 3 persona. I really liked that they made me feel like I was in a video game as the characters and for me its a really great accomplishment in video game history.… Expand

I took my sweet time with it, even stopping to play around with photo mode and collecting everything i can - even with my extremely slow pace, it took me just around 34 hours to complete.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had no issue with the LGBQT+ characters in the game, I actually think it’s a great idea and wish there were more characters like this in games. But not even the great graphics and game play could save this game for me. The story was messy, poorly planned and executed. Fans of the original were spat on in an attempt to impress critics, when critics are not the ones who love the game and pour money into naught dogs pockets, fans who purchase the books, clothes and all other merchandise were attacked by the writers of Tlou 2 in pursuit of acclaim from people not apart of the wider fan base, I can’t stress that enough. Crowbarring Abbys narrative down our throats with out ultimately giving the player the choice to forgive or not, then forcing us to watch our beloved heroin who did not start the events that lead to her wanting revenge, broken and mutilated while Abby who is the instigator and murder rides off into the sunset with a friend and a new purpose. Saving a little trans boy (which I have not problem with and think the inclusion of is fantastic) does not excuse the fact that she murdered a man in cold blood with a golf club. We loved Joel nothing Abby does can change that and her story was always going to be total trash no matter what, she could of been a good character, but the ways she was included and written was doomed to fail. You don’t watch lord of the rings and cheer for the orcs, did they learn nothing from the game of thrones finale. Fans don’t want the moral garbage they handed us in TLOU 2 we wanted to see the story of the characters we love not ransoms who come in at the last minute. I mean you only play as Abby for the second part of the game! We have already played played an entire Joel and half a game as Abby Joel did what he did for love Abby blind revenge and she herself admitted to murdering people in Boston I’m sure they had families too. The story was just frustrating and ultimately the characters we love we spat on. I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after playing this. Thank you Neil Druckmann for trying so hard to impress people who don’t love the first game you created… 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.
