    As everyone should know, this game has a horrible history, where the writers treat in the most disgusting way their own principal characters. And the end is just simply bad dude.

    Шикпрнейшая игра! Не смотря на спойлеры, играть было интересно и спасибо Догам за лучший сюжетный экшен, в который я когда либо играл! Если кого то парит лгбт повестка, то ее нет, меньше слушайте тупых обзорщиков, на хайпе делающих обзоры. По моим ощущениям, игра лучше 1й части на пару головШикпрнейшая игра!

    Melhor jogo de 2020 tecnicamente mais peca um pouco na historia tirando um personagem de cena muito cedo do jogo

    Neil Druckmann asked for our trust, so we gave it to him and he did us dirty.

    One of the best titles ruined by a self-absorbed producer who is not as talented as he think he is. Fair enough most aspects of the game are great, but the problem is it's called the last of us part 2 and the fact that the plot is so bad and full of retarded holes is simply unacceptable. The more you love the first game, the more you will hate this one

    A brutal, brutal, unpleasant game, that I gave up on after 8 hours or so.

    I was so much looking forward to travelling with Joel & Ellie again, and this was just nasty, metaphorically spitting on the corpse.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unlike all the whiny idiots here, I will give this game a fair review. Get over yourself, Joel fanboys. Killing has consequences, and he paid for his mistakes in a brutal, unforgiving way. Such is the world of The Last of Us I and II. The game is very good. I didn’t agree with all aspects of the story, but I can appreciate it all the same. On a technical level the game is 10 out of 10. Stunning. The only knocks that bring it to an 8 for me are the Seraphine storyline which I found drug on WAY too long. In general, the 3rd act is just way too long. And the violence. Oh, yes, the violence. I don’t actually mind it too much because it does fit the narrative for the most part. But I did find some spots where the game was just ghoulishly violent for the sake of it, not that it fit the story well at that point. And for that I will knock a point off. But all in all, Naughty Dog’s “very good” game is still better than almost any other studio’s best efforts. They are just that good and TLOU2 is no exception. It’s a very good game that fails to quite live up to the sublime first installment, but that doesn’t make the game a 4 like so many other idiots here are rating. Grow up, people.… Expand

    WOW! Thank you Naughty Dog
    The Last of US PART II is a MASTERPIECE.

    Had doubts because of people complaining about the leaks.
    But GAME OF THE YEAR for me!

    I finished the game a few days ago. I had nightmares about the ending. No game impressed me so much, the story is heavy, deep, sensitive and emotional, also depressive, violent and perverse. just life as it is. The ending is so bitter that it gives me chills... i just love it.

    The game takes it’s predecessor and pushes it even further. It takes so much about what was fun and beautiful about the the first game and turns it up a few notches.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us Part 2 is one of the biggest gaming disappointments in a long time. First off nobody is mad Ellie is gay people didn't care in the Left Behind DLC. But people do care when you insert an agenda at the expense of the characters and the story. The last of us Part 2 is mainly about story. The majority of players bought the last of us part 2 in order to see what happened after the first last of us and to see what happened to Joel and Ellie. But what ends up happening is that we get to play as a character we don't like for the majority of the game. Joel is killed of in such a disrespectful way where it destroys the story afterwards. We all knew Joel would die at some point because it only makes logical sense but to have him die in such a way is disrespectful to the character. Besides that we have a boring revenge plot where it ultimately leads to nothing and we are left unsatisfied and confused at the ending. Besides that the graphics are stunning on the Ps4 but that's about it. Every thing else feels the same it works but isn't satisfactory. Overall this was a huge disappointment and if you are only in it for the gameplay and graphics you will love the game but if you are in it for a good story then you will be very disappointed.… Expand

Atreus will look for the killer rest of time and in the end he’ll let killer go, although the killer will bite off two of his fingers and he will not be able, for example, to do some of his magic, or whatever. Or you can imagine the same with Geralt and Ciri (if there will be the next Witcher game.) If this is ok for you, then you might like this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gave me no time to reconect with characters before they where dead. They try to justify the killing of joel because of what he did to abbys father. The big problem here is tha joel had already lost his daughter and ellie made him feel love again. When he went throug hell to get ellie to the fireflies and the where gonna kill her without even giving her the choice ofcourse joel as a father figure would not let that happend. Abby torturing joel to death for doing something many farhers would have done. Playing with abby for 10 hours did not make me symphathise with her or justify the killing of a beloved character like joel. Story simply was not good written.… Expand

    Love, Hate, and Hope. Thematically this game in terms of story took the boldest turn a narrative based game could take. And I applaud Naughty Dog for handling it the way they did. Its not the story players wanted. BELIEVE ME. but its the story the game needed to tell. This game was designed to make you uncomfortable to fit with the overall theme being HATE. remember that.

Clocked out at almost 27 hours with the game. The two main characters of this sequel are consumed by hate. It clouds all judgement and leads them down the paths that they took. Gameplay wise. I don't know if I've ever played a game this polished and superb. Everything you do in the game has weight to it, and its phenomenal to handle. It is a refined version of the first game and that's absolutely okay. If ever they were to do a third game this sequel sets that up. If the first game was about love and this sequel was a grueling tale of hate. Then what follows is hope. So please, play through the game yourselves. give it your attention. It deserves at least that.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Go into this game with a open mind, it is a beautiful, amazing, dark game that tells a great story, yes the leaks might ruin it for some people and I understand, but if you take the time and actually play the game then you will realize that Joel’s death is just a small part of the game, best graphics I have ever seen in a game, amazing gameplay, and the open world Seattle is breathtaking, so far TLOU2 is my game of the year and I think it will remain that way, Abby is a awesome character introduced, I loved playing as her and I loved her weapon class, her upgrades and honestly her character in general, her and lev make such a awesome duo towards the end of the game, if you truly liked the first game you will like the second, story is beautiful told in different parts but amazing, you will definitely feel the emotions, there are times wear it gets dark that you don’t even know if you want to kill that said person anymore, it just gets worse and worse, but that’s the beautiful thing about the ending, Ellie finds out why she doesn’t kill Abby and why she doesn’t takes a lot of thinking, I know why but I feel like it’s better when you find out yourself, I also loved the side characters very intriguing and cool seeing all the different characters, a lot of abbys friends are cool and Jessie and Dina are fantastic for Ellie! I highly recommended this game to any fellow gamer out there! I give it a 10/10 Also the collectibles in this game are so addicting there so fun and make the game so much more interesting, same with the artifacts and notes you can find along the way it really helps tell how people responded to the out break and during it! This game is beautifully done!… Expand

    The game has a long drawn out story. It’s not drawn out in the sense that not a lot happens but it seems almost as if they wanted the little parts to matter more.

Gameplay is really great I enjoy couldn't be better to be honest. Sound the game had sound effects problem I have experienced that I didn't like for example after walking on the water to pass to the other side after I reached the land the sound effects of the water was still on and some other sound problems occurred at least 4 times. Finally story line I don't know why people hate the storyline I really loved it, its not the like the first one but I really do love the theme of the story can't wait to see the end of the story.

Unlike most review bombers on this site, I finished the game and was left speechless. Naughty Dog finds a way to build an amazing diverse and inclusive cast of characters with mesmerizing landscapes that never feel copy/paste of other areas, while providing seamless transitions and combat, making you feel like you're living the experience. This story is gut wrenching all the way through and at times doesn't feel "fun." But what it does feel like is human experience, full of trauma, complicated emotions and decisions that leave you on edge, because this world is so unforgiving. It doesn't care about who you love, because your closest ally is someone's enemy and karma makes the final choice. I was nervous about this game, and somehow managed to avoid the leaks and pessimism and did it pay off! EPIC MASTERPIECE.… Expand

    Never expected a game would tackle issues like war, peace, forgiveness, homosexuality, love, hate, racism, violence, and so many more in such an organic way. Have watched plenty of movies, tv series and read alot of books in my life, but this is how you implement social problems in a piece of entertainment and make it work.

    For the people that didnt like this game, im sorry, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

    For the people that hate without even touching the game, grow up. We live in a weird era and whining about a game is very depressing to be honest.

    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]
