    This game literally shocked me because it is not what I expected in this game with regard to the trailer State of play. Did you know? I was really motivated to buy this game because of the scene at the end of the trailer, we clearly saw Joel grab Ellie by surprise ... And the following was:

    - Ellie: What the hell are you doing here? - Joel: You think I'd let you do this on your own.

    But in the game they put another character in place of Joel, Seriously it disgusted me to see this scam in the gameplay so much that ... I ejected the game from my game console immediately and I won't play this game anymore ...
    I expected to continue the game with Joel, but why did you lie to us like that Naughty dog? it's contemptuous for your fans.    … Expand

TLOU2 changed my life forever exactly how TLOU1 did, but it wasn't perfect. it seems like the writers changed their mind along the process of making the game. i can't really say they made the right decision or not, but they didn't made a bad one for sure. They decided to end the revenge cycle after all. After all that saying that the game is not amazing is truly unfair.… Expand

    Without a doubt this is the best game I've ever played. The graphics are outstanding, the story is compeling deep and breathtaking.

I get that people are upset because THAT happens but, in my eyes, they sort of think that NaughtyDog is in debt with them because "we played the first part and blablabla". Hello? This is NOT your story. You have the right to tell you dont like but that doesnt make the game what you say it is. Grow up.

    In my opinion, what makes the first entry so good was the breaking of stereotypes and the deep care for its characters. This game does that as good or even better. It makes you feel desperated and anxious at first just to make the player feel disorientated, without knowing what to do or to think or what to expect. Then everything changes and you enter in a storm of emotions just to realize everything has a reason, even though we may not like it.

    Was this game worth it? YES, every minute I've played it (around 30h just in one playthrough) and every cent I've spent. If you are searching for a stroy that makes you THINK and an appeling but brutal and cruel world, this is your game. If you want a game with the story you already have in your mind, go for another one, this is not for you.    … Expand

As a big fan of the first game, which I still consider to have the best story in any video game so far, I was truly conflicted with the change but I said I wanted to see where this was going. Is it possible to forge a relationship with someone who just killed a beloved character? We see her fears and hopes and where her hate comes from. Slowly but surely we don't see her as a 2d character but one that has hopes and wishes and flaws and strength. There are some really heart wrenching scenes and gameplay which aren't suppose to make you feel goody and such. It was planning on making you feel like the character. They managed to do this so well in the first one and managed to do it here as well. The gameplay really got a lot better, one of the things I found to be a bit mediocre in the first one. The graphics are stellar and overall the story kept me wanting to know more and see where this was headed. I couldn't wait to get home and play it. It challenged me, made me sad, angry, happy, disgusted. I do recommend it wholeheartedly. I haven't had this range of emotions and in any game or movie for a long time. The bad reviews that came out the 19th of June should be taken with a lot of skepticism since there is no way that they can have grasped the full range of it all. I can see that you either hate or love this and the middle ground is pretty thin on this one. For me this was a great game which I will come back to and play again.… Expand

    First part of game was awesome. Starting second part they're forcing me to play for character that I don't like. I never had such feeling before. You're playing for character but you dislike it at all. Another waste of money. Critic Reviews seems to be bought by Naughty Dog company. Game doesn't worth $60, wait for sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a game. I just finished it and felt compelled to write my first ever review on here, due to the review bombing I have been hearing about. The Last of Us Part II is an emotional rollercoaster. Things happen that you wish didn’t, characters make heartbreaking decisions that inevitably have tragic consequences. A lot of fans seem to be mad about the story. Unfortunately in life, and it seems in post-apocalyptic futures, things are complicated. We all have our own goals and ambitions, and sometimes this can lead to conflict with others. This game wonderfully illustrates that just because we might dislike someone we’re not necessarily better than them or more right. I personally loved playing as Abby and seeing events from her perspective. As her section progressed I began to see her as right and Ellie as wrong. I didn’t know who to root for at the end. And the writers deserve a huge amount of credit for that. The game is visually stunning. The world they have built over at Naughty Dog is nothing short of miraculous. The gameplay is fine, although sometimes I found my NPC allies getting in the way a bit. Some of the fights are incredibly intense. In general I’m a sneak and kill player, as you have to be at times in this world to look after your resources. But there are certain fights you can’t avoid. The sequence in the lower floors of the hospital were truly terrifying, but completely exhilarating. The kind of gameplay that you can’t wait to finish but then instantly want to have a go at again once you’ve done it. To wrap up, if you’re mad about the story then you’ve missed the point in my opinion. Ellie and Joel are not saints. They’ve done some terrible things to survive. Same goes for Abby. She is no worse than them, and they are no better than her. And if it’s the LGBT stuff or the abundance of non-white characters in the game that has angered you, then it’s about time you joined the rest of us in the 21st Century. I thought Lev’s storyline in particular was fantastic. No if you excuse me, I need a lie down before my next play through!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я прошёл The Last of Us 2! И сейчас у меня такие смешанные чувства, какие у меня не вызывала ни одна игра!
    Если выставлять оценку чисто для себя то это 8,4/10 (округляю до 8-ми).
    Конечно постановка, сюжет, геймплэй вызывают просто нереальные эмоции, которые навряд ли вызовет любая другая игра. Прошло три часа игры, а я уже успел порадоваться, наложить в штаны и поплакать из за смерти сами знаете кого, и так всю игру!
    Очень много сюжетных линий и геймплэйных ситуаций, которые сделаны так, чтобы вызвать у тебя максимальное количество эмоций! Игра непредсказуема, и ты каждые несколько минут охреневаешь от того, что они сделали с историей на этот раз!
    В основном у меня есть две большие претензии к этой игре. Во первых это структура. Я очень люблю истории в которых чётко три акта, мне очень приятно от этого эстетически, и так была построена первая часть, там чётко был первый, второй и третий акт. Ну а в этой с этим какая то очень странная неразбериха... Сначала идёт первый акт, потом второй, вот ты ждёшь финала - третьего акта, но тут тебе снова суют первый акт, потом полноценный второй акт и наконец третий акт ты уже ждёшь титры, но тебе в подарок дают ещё один второй и ещё один третий акт. Это оочень долго и затянуто! И так трижды я ждал конца игры и когда она закончилась я просто не поверил! Это всё? Может ещё один третий акт, не?
    Во вторых то, что под конец игры ты уже не хочешь играть из за того, как история переворачивается с ног на голову! Ты уже хочешь сказать Элли - остановись! Хватит это делать! Но у тебя нет выбора и ты будешь делать отвратительные вещи, если хочешь увидеть финал, финал, в котором ты потерял всё, но так и не достиг цели.
    Так же ещё хочу сказать про геймплэй, потому что он тут просто офигенный! Я проходил игру на пред-максимальной сложности, и ,даже при том, что у меня всегда были патроны и оружие, и я даже мог иногда позволить себе вступить в бой без стэлса и выйти победителем, меня не покидало чувство волнения. Ты переигрываешь локации, что бы сохранить ресурсы, всё время экономишь их. Игра в свою очередь всегда создаёт интересные ситуации, в которых так же есть место вариативности, и они не дают заскучать!
    Феминизм! Как я мог забыть!? А точно! В игре же он почти не бросается в глаза и не бесит!
    Достойное ли это продолжение лучшей игры десятилетия? - А вот это сложный вопрос... Мне кажется у первой The Last of Us не должно быть продолжения, это законченная история.
    Вторая часть хороша как отдельная игра, но она ломает то, что было сделано в первой, так что мой ответ - нет, это НЕ достойное продолжение, но при этом хорошая игра, которая, в силу моих предпочтений, смогла меня зацепить!    … Expand

Я переживал за всех героев, все было сделано гениально. Сюжет не пресный, выдержан достойно, диалоги может где-то затянуты, но терпимо. Игра показывает, как может случается по настоящему в нашей жизни, когда ничего изменить уже нельзя. Посыл к мыслям человека хорош и предельно понятен. Сам процесс игры и взаимодействие выстроены просто изумительно. Однозначно - это шедевр! Мне очень жаль, что комьюнити реально деградировало всякими ассасинами, колдой, батлой и т.п. , и ждали от этой части солнышка и печенек.

On the contrary of the majority of reviews I’m not mad about Joel dying, since the trailers were released it was obvious that something was gonna happen to him, and that Ellie was going to be moved by that. That’s the whole point of the story, Ellie’s revenge. Both story lines present two human characters who have suffered from the loss of an important person, the story forces you to feel emphatic about both girls and understand that they are antagonists, one will fight the other. The story made me feel nostalgic, terrified, angry... and that end seems perfect to me. Ellie realizing that revenge consumed her, and forgiving Joel.

The last of us part 2 still has me thinking about the powerful ending and the journey starting from the last of us 1 that led me there. The questionable decisions the characters are forced to partake in and the consequences for their actions will forever be engraved in my memory and I don't plan on losing those memories for the rest of my life. This game is no longer just a game that I was personally more hyped for than anything (including cyberpunk), this is now a part of my life, a part of my history and it feels like a piece of me is missing whenever I finish and have to realise this may be the last we see of Ellies journey, our journey together.… Expand

I rated this game just above average cause it has some good tho HD going for it like the graphics the sound music acting game mechanics the worlds the art design and the hand to hand combat the new infected creatures are a nice thing. My issue with the game is the direction they took with it as the game went along I found my self getting less interested and that’s a shame cause usually it goes the other way. Being forced to play as Abby didn’t help I just kept saying to myself I don’t care can we just get back to Ellie. The pacing is also off there are kinks of this game were I was just like let’s move this along but I get it they want you to scavenge for supply’s and go slow with stealth. I knew they would kill Joel off I just thought he’d get a better send off and maybe we could play his death instead of it being a cutscene we play as Joel up until he dies then we play as Ellie it’s just a thought I had.

    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.
