    Breathtaking.

    Truly an immersive experience, and the interactive guitar and accurate chord positioning sent my musicians heart aflutter.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t even know what to say, the ending is horrible, but I must try, so merge the plot. At first, as a player, I didn’t give a **** about the soul, namely the murder of Joel, then they didn’t allow me to avenge it. The game is about revenge, through the whole game we carried revenge, killing innocent people and not only, but in the end we just let Abby go without justice, that is, the plot for the sake of what we ultimately cannot to do. I would understand if there was a choice or the ending came from the player’s actions, but no. The game is great, I don’t argue with this, but the ending was ruined, even the gray morality cannot be inserted here, a la she forgave her, huh, is it that Ally went for the heads of other people for the sake of this, is this normal in principle?

    I must say, I went through 40% of this game and it is disgusting, i dont want to play it anymore. Yeah i heard about it's weak plot, and forcing of lgbt subjects, marasmic ending (i have already seen it on youtube) weak gameplay that is boring and didn't changed, but didn't believe.

    Horrible story, each part of the game just kept me feeling more and more depressed, and when you finish it you feel like it could have a better ending. The graphics and the game mechanics are excellent, but I wonder why did they had to make such a mess in the story...

    So I've got maybe 20 hours of gameplay put into this game. I feel the gameplay is solid but it didn't feel like it changed much from the first. The graphics truly are wonderful and breathtaking. I dont feel they added enough new infected types of enemies so that was a bit of a disappointment. To the real reason the game upsets me is the narrative direction ND took the fame.

The graphics truly are wonderful and breathtaking. I dont feel they added enough new infected types of enemies so that was a bit of a disappointment. To the real reason the game upsets me is the narrative direction ND took the fame. I dont agree and feel it overlooked what made the first game special. The switching of gameplay between ellie and Abby was annoying. I didnt care for Abby as a character and I dont think she had much development and was the typical i want revenge and im upset. Very cliche to say the least. Also the ending was something I felt was not great. They could have went so many directions with this game and to me it feels like every wrong path they could have taken they did. I said feom day one that the first last of us was damn near the perfect game. It ended in such a way it didn't need a sequel and making one would definitely fall short of the first and ruin the magic the first one created. I feel that scenario I imagined has come true. So to recap. Amazing graphics. Good solid gameplay but a very lacklusyer narrative that graphics and gameplay couldn't carry. Im giving it a 2/10. The score might seem harsh but I feel ND let fans down and really ignored the things that made the first one special and to try and be out there and go for shock value only shocked in the wrong way and led to gamers joining together to review bomb the game. Also the rumored horrible work environments and early leaks didnt help.… Expand

    They ruined my favourite saga.
    Story is BAD, too much politically correct and plus they don't listen to fans.
    Naughty Dog isn't anymore my favourite software house.
    I waited 5 years.
    We all waited 5 years.
    For this.
    Thank you Naughty Dog.

    Нехилый плевок в фанов первой части. Но даже если отбросить тот факт, что над образами персонажей первой части поиздевались, остаются вопросы мотивации поступков персонажей. Реальные люди поступали бы иначе, чем персонажи этой игры.Нехилый плевок в фанов первой части.

    Abby's character was not built in a way that will make the player understand her motivations.

I preordered the game and when it came out and I started playing I was shook just by looking at the graphics then the gameplay was amazing but I think the story could have been better but personally I dont hate it. Its a game that makes you look things from different points of view i wouldn’t give it a 10/10 bc I know naughty dog could have done better, maybe even it wouldn’t have so much hate if it wasn’t for the leaks. people are simply hating it and not Even haven’t Finished the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a very big fan of the story of the first game, i have to say that not only i feel insulted, but also disappointed. Story is a very cliché revenge story, where you are forced to kill people you don’t care about and them forced to feel bad about, even when again, these characters are so disposable, that you cant feel any emotion when they die. Gameplay is the same from the first game, with a few new puzzles, plus the old ones that were already stale. After 7 years, the AI is just as dumb, they still do the same kind of patrolling, and you can still strangle someone while they scream next to another npc that doesnt notice. The soundtrack and the graphics are amazing, and those are what gives this review the positive points. Santaolalla’s soundtrack is outstanding. The game relies too much on the story, so much that some sections are just walk from point a to point b, watch a cutscene, get the same encounter where you can sneak against some enemies, and repeat. For a character that doesnt forget a guy that insults her and giver her free food in the apocalypse, it doesn't lake sense that she would forgive the person who killed her father figure. Abby’s sections feel forced and you never get to feel sad for her. You already saw her father’s death as a consequence for a tough decision, and again, every time you play as her, you just want the section to end. The flashbacks are the best and i would prefer to just play those instead of the rest of the story.… Expand

Part II have beautiful picture and nothing else. Game feels like "Snow" of Nathan Drake and Tomb Raider, but Nate left it just with graphics. It was long-long and extremely boring adventure without any single reason why it must be connected with one of a best games ever created.

    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]
