    The first game was good, but it was important to us all as it set the heights of what video games could achieve if care, attention and love was put in to a title.

    Sadly, the second installment of this game is more of an impostor, riding in on the coat tails of its predecessor. A politically driven mess of a story that eventually finishes on a completely pointless and flat note.

    Yes, the environment is gorgeous. The character animations are second to none, and the gameplay is as good as the first albeit, not improved in any way.

    Neil Druckmann, you should be ashamed of yourself for this. How can this game receive stellar reviews from critics and such bad ones from users? Shady, under the table deals. That's how.

    I wasted my money on this title, please don't do the same.    … Expand

    I played Last of Us 1 on launch and never wanted a sequel. I was so afraid that they would mess up one of my favorite endings in gaming. I could not be happier with the sequel we got.

I have some small gameplay nitpicks such as being unable to switch camera shoulders outside of ADS and being forced to take some skills I wasn't going to use, but as a whole, I think they improved the gameplay of the first game in every way. The combat is brutal and shocking, the infected are terrifying, and scavenging is still rewarded with mini in-universe stories and bits of exposition that really heighten the experience.

    The story is incredible in my opinion. It is emotionally devastating and not easy, but very satisfying and really carry over the themes from the first game quite well. There are some small changes that I would make to the story as well just to help with pacing and unity but even these are minor.

    I did not see any of the negative reactions until after I had finished the game and I am so grateful I stayed away because much of the criticism seems in really bad faith to me. I think that there absolutely can be plenty of good conversations about what this game did well and where it fell short but unfortunately any discussion of this game is hijacked by bad actors and bandwagon haters.

    My recommendation is that you play the game for yourself, ignore anything anyone else says, including me and make up your own opinion.    … Expand

    Это что получается? Что графика,механика,анимация и так далее все сделано на 0?
    Вы вообще не адекватные! Да,сюжет очень спорный. Но мне понравился! В конце тупо чуть не рыдал)
    Хотя в начале игры так же говнил на игру. И так же говорил WTF какого так предсказуемо и Джоел отупел(списал на то что за 5 лет расслабился, охотясь на зараженных и постарел)
    А потом понял что Дракман хотел показать месть и ненависть. И у него это получилось!
    Вот сидел на своем монике и тупо наслаждался графикой и о*вал. Сколько они работы проделали. Я работаю в сфере IT и понимаю, как же это трудно, вот это все сделать. Это не комментарии строчить в сети. То что сделала компания "игривый щенок" просто поражает.
    На таком запоре, завести такой графоний и скорей всего отлично оптимизирован код. Они походу жили в студии чтоб сделать такое.
    Я не могу понять нытиков, которые говорят что сюжет длинный?! Когда сюжет короткий ноете,когда длинный тоже ноете. Вы купили игру за 60$ или 4300 рубасов и ноете что сюжет длинный? Да она окупается за эти деньги что хочу вам сказать.
    По поводу сюжета я доволен. НО.. Я бы согласился посмотреть на 1 версию сюжета или сделать сюжет Эбби как DCL. С отдельной веткой. Чтоб избежать нытья о том "зачем мы играем за стероиды"
    В общем моя настоящая оценка 8.5 баллов. Эти 1.5 балла, я снизил за некоторые дыры в сюжете и пропаганду ЛГБТ,Трансов и так далее. В остальном все сделано на высшем уровне    … Expand

    El juego esta bastante entretenido aunque pudo haber tenido mejoras en la historia aún así la jugabilidad con las mejoras que ha tenido, entretiene bastante y dependiendo de la dificultad que juegues sufres la supervivencia al limite. Lo cual da una experiencia bastante satisfactoria al momento de tener éxito en lo que te propongas.

    En mi opinión, es una obra maestra si hablamos de gráficos pero enfocándose en la historia esta no es la mejor, entendi el punto de vista de abby pero ella nunca entendió el de ellie por lo tanto no lo hizo con nosotros, hay problemas con lo que es el realismo en ciertos casos pero tiene buen potencial sin tener en cuenta lo antes dicho

I knew what happened before playing it and purchasing it but after thinking that this game is a 20+ hours of gameplay game, I thought it was not right to judge it based on 2 minutes. The last of us part 2 won't be liked by everyone but I would hope that people know the whole story before judging it because 7 years can't be spit on based on only what youtubers or steamers think. People should listen to what the makers of the game have to say as well.

    My score is based on how much I enjoyed it, how I was feeling throughout the game and how sad I was to end it because I just did not want it to end. I deeply loved it and would gladly play a third one if they would ever release it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is a great game that is heavily held back by its story in the second half. Overall I really enjoyed the game, the gameplay is enhanced from the first game and that is what's important to me. The graphics look nice too but that matters a bit less. The main thing holding it back for me is the story and the pacing, I hated the second half of it when I took control of Abby while the gameplay is the same it broke the pace by having us start over in progression and we have to play as the villain all of a sudden. To say it was a jolt is an understatement. I spent a good chunk at the start just killing her anyway I could. Knowing what she did I could not forgive her because she is a hypocrite. Her revenge is justified but Ellie's isn't. About halfway through playing as her I started to ignore it but I still couldn't get over it. Another thing that bugs me is the tacked on epilogue, the game should have ended in Seattle but it kept going, with Santa Barbra once again breaking the pace, and that is the main issue for me overall. However, I did enjoy my time with it and since gameplay is the most important thing for me in a video game I believe my score is fair.… Expand

    Complex, nuanced story and multi-layered themes make this game hard to access superficially for some. They took chances and I think it paid off. You can play a second time and get a different experience than the first time solely on merits of the story. In a non-RPG game that is an exceptional achievement.

In a non-RPG game that is an exceptional achievement.
    Technically the game is visually gorgeous. It improves on the combat exploration formula that the first had in numerous ways. It allows fine grained difficulty changes rather than the usual "easy-medium-hard" which allows you to play exactly as you like. One of the protagonists is built to allow a more combat oriented style of gameplay, allowing you to experience the game mechanics from a different angle you may shy away from as the stealthy Ellie-Joel from the first game.

    It should be said that the subject matter is brutal and the story takes you to visual and emotional places that can be very draining. This world is harsh, but thematically it is a search for light in the darkness, and what constitutes that light.    … Expand

The Last Of Us Part 2 é o jogo a qual estávamos esperando, fugir da mesmice, te incentivar a ter vontade de jogar em um mundo de jogos vazios de Battle Royale, esse tipo de jogo de campanha single player é o que nos faz reaver o animo esgotado.
    Gráficos extraordinários para o console é claro, mas nota-se que realmente se esforçaram para quebrar a barreira de limitação e espremeram o potencial máximo do console.
    Áudio exuberante, detalhistas e realistas principalmente em bancadas para montagens de armas, passos, gritos e choros, chuva, rios, fogo, é tudo muito intenso, principalmente quando há certa concentração no jogo.
    A história nos faz refletir até onde você iria por uma vingança, você se arrependeria ? Iria até as ultimas consequências por alguém que você ama ?
    Jogo quase perfeito, exceto por alguns detalhes técnicos, como bugs encontrados no jogo, alto numero de inimigos humanos, e enredo as vezes meio distorcido ou não condizente com o que esperávamos mas no seu fechamento acabou sendo memorável.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most incredible and immersive games I have played of this generation. Not only do they provide us with realism, they also don’t fail to take me on a rollercoaster of emotions. While adding the aspect of perspective it gives us a sense of what we need to see. Humanity isn’t just about hero and villain and they defy those expectations. There is never a real hero or villain in the world, there is only humans doing what they feel is right and doing what they need to do to survive. I’ve never experienced something like this before in a game because no one is brave enough to defy the boundaries of the art of gaming. I congratulate everyone who worked on this game and who gave everything to give us this amazing experience. I hope other developers can learn from this company and the people who wrote the game to start expressing much more inclusive and realistic experiences in their stories to give a players a feel of what a real game and experience looks like because most games these days, they tells stories of humanity and the paths they go on considering certain situation and it’s up to them to express how people would actually turn out after certain sever ya happen to the world. Thank you. I hope for a part 3 and I hope these amazing people continue to do what they do best!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was very forced in some parts, I was disappointing, but in a very bad situation, Tommy and Joel trusted a person without even asking what she was doing there and arguing about, once Joel was or suspected, that doesn't change in a callous person like him, and Tommy in good faith, just like the beginning of one when Joel didn't want to stop giving a ride to a family when the outbreak broke out. Abby's own revenge, after 5 years, is a little forced and finds its target as it was, given on a platter, once again forced. An interesting point, despite the strength, playing with Abby should cause aversion, Joel's postmortem gameplay, as much as fighting Ellie. Ellie's moments of remembrance with Joel are very touching, the highest point in history, the only point that is not forced, emotional! Another forced part was done by Tommy, demanding Ellie's participation, Tommy always seems to be calmer than Joel, trying to do less or worse, time to stay on fire because he believes in the ideals of the group, then in Jackson, starting a family and using City . In the end, less, Ellie didn't kill Abby, I was already rooting for either, I was already totally lost and Ellie paid a very high price and didn't see how it could be different. Be surprised that Ellie has known the whole truth since the beginning of the story, the group's motivation was already predictable, and to hope that Ellie's revenge would be balanced with the truth told by Abby and Tommy by denying or confirming everything. The story of the first one was the best because it was fluid, without forcing it, you could understand or Joel when he resisted bonding with Ellie and then killing the workspaces to save Ellie. Naughty Dog was audacious with the story, because it is not an infiltration of Abby in Jacksson, as the group was planning and ending a revenge in the first meeting between Abby and Ellie, it was interesting the attempt to provoke aversion when using Abby, but if one the intention was to create sympathy, try to make the player understand Abby's side, I don't think I did, a person who keeps security for 5 years and leaves a recent murder of his friends alive, doesn't make any sense to me.… 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.
