    Das Spiel ist einfach nur unglaublich gut, genauso wie der erste Teil. Jeder der das anders sieht, ist nicht mehr zu helfen.

    The original was amazing for me because it grapples with moral conundrums; and realistically makes the player think about what you would do in a destroyed world to survive or help the people you love.

    The sequel did not do that for me, so it was just a tedious slog through watching the characters you play make decisions that irritate you.

    The Gameworld is also lost its coherence. In the last game it actually felt like a desolate place where civilization has basically collapsed, with pockets of people or humanity left where you struggle to survive. The factions in the new game are thriving and the plot driver of a war between them doesn't make sense in the context of a world where there is plenty of room for both to expand, and both have plenty of resources (and therefore have no reason to fight).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t know what people expect in a video game they kill of a main character that’s what happens in post apocalyptic worlds! It makes Joel’s story even more fitting. Abby you wanted vengeance for her fathers murder.. and therefore so did Elly. It’s not hard to understand what the writers were going for - an eye for an eye. If you enjoyed the first game then you will like this for the mechanics and graphics. The storyline wasn’t as strong and people moaning about a very small LGBQT storyline really need to look at themselves in the mirror- stop foaming at the mouth about something that’s nothing to do or impacts you whatsoever.… Expand

Because of the graphics, the mechanics, the music and something that i will be killed about is the story. This game for no reason i hated or like most of it is because of Joel's death and Ellie being a lesbian. The end was well not that good, but not that bad. I give it a 9, because i had to play as Abby's POV 10 hours it was like Ellie's game-play but you just play with a different character. Overall the game is good i love it. 9/10 must play… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра довольно хороша.
    Я не люблю интим сцены в играх вообще, поэтому минус балл. Стэлс в игре клевый, конечно, можно без него играть, но нужна низкая сложность. На высокой не выйдет сражаться лоб в лоб.
    Не понимаю тех, кому не понравилось, что Джоэла убили. Мне с первой части казалось, что игра про Элли, а не про Джоэла. В первой части она взрослела, набираясь опыта у "отца", во второй части же показывают её взрослой, как она изменилась, и какой путь выбрала.
    Игру многие называют скучной, но я играл в неё не отрываясь от геймпада, забывая даже в туалет сходить. Наверное, многим не понравился стэлс, однако он был и в первой части.
    Игра тянет на 8-9, но никак не на 5,7. Странно, что на первой части оценок намного меньше, чем на второй. Если на первой 30к (пс3+пс4), то тут почти 160к. У меня есть предположение, что половину оценок поставили те, кто не играл в игру, а лишь смотрели её прохождение, т.к. не имеют пс4. Пк геЙмеры не любят, когда их бросают, хотя я тоже играю на пк.    … Expand

    Absolutely loved the first one and had such high hopes for the sequel. As much as I truly enjoyed it, there were some very large deficiencies in the layout and logistics of the story and gameplay that just felt forced. I hope they take the reviews into consideration when making the next sequel.

    Decent story (especially the ending), but the repetitive gameplay drags it down a few. Overall a must play if a fan of the original, but not for the most amazing experience. The graphics do shine to be one of the best features of this game props to the developers for making a beautiful game.

    Achei interessante o tema de vingança do jogo, uma pena que foi mal executado. A história foi o clássico clichê de: "vingança é ruim e só machuca as pessoas em sua volta", os devs queriam mostrar em como as mortes causadas pelo player pode ter consequências no futuro, o ponto ruim é que são personagens tão mal desenvolvidos e esquecíveis que você nem liga (ou simplesmente se esqueceu) praAchei interessante o tema de vingança do jogo, uma pena que foi mal executado. A história foi o clássico clichê de: "vingança é ruim e só machuca as pessoas em sua volta", os devs queriam mostrar em como as mortes causadas pelo player pode ter consequências no futuro, o ponto ruim é que são personagens tão mal desenvolvidos e esquecíveis que você nem liga (ou simplesmente se esqueceu) pra quem morreu e quem viveu, um exemplo disso são os companheiros da Abby (WLF). Finais alternativos com certeza deveriam ter sido colocados no jogo.

    O combate é o ponto chave do jogo, é uma gameplay rápida, desafiadora e divertida dependendo da dificuldade em que você está jogando, mas senti falta de uma variedade nova de inimigos/infectados e novas mecânicas de gameplay, não teve muitas mudanças do TLOU 1, exceto pela evolução dos gráficos.

    É uma pena que a sequência do grande jogo do ano acabou assim.

It falls short in the story by making us see the death of Joel by a gruesome way suffer, slowly dying in his own blood it was the saddest thing I had to feel until I found him only to see him die with a final blow in his head. that made me wanted to hunt her down and then I had to play as Abby for many hours and the only think I was thinking was when I will finish with her.… Expand

The narrative was always emotionally compelling, and the emotional roller coaster was intense, heartbreaking, and enlightening. But, it failed to achieve for me what the game was trying to do. I found difficulty sympathizing with characters, new and old, a problem that wasn't present in the first game. I found that The Last of Us Part II was very different than part I. Part I focused on paternal love, where part II focused much on hate. This of course isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the tone change was a hard roadblock to get over. The immense complexity and depth of the characters was clearly evident, however the story tended to cut corners in unsatisfying and seemingly lazy ways. The biggest failure was the pacing. The narrative tried to achieve parallel plot structure but chose to go down both narratives one at a time instead of neck and neck, even playing sections of the game in the past which eliminated a sense of surprise in coming events. The verdict; The Last of Us Part II challenged me emotionally and followed a mostly satisfying narrative supported by incredible gameplay, but the narrative shortcomings and very poor pacing tainted the experience. Play the Last of Us Part I first, and then I implore you to experience Part II and come to your own conclusion.… Expand

    Amazing environments, animations, audio, accessibility features, pretty decent voice acting, passable gameplay mechanics. Absolutely abhorrent story & characters, the focal point of the game. Can't even begin to think how this happened, especially as a sequel to the excellent Last Of Us Part 1. Real shame.

    Oh man...I played this directly after finishing Last Of Us Part I for the first time. And boy was it a jump. Story wise it was still fantastic. The main story hits hard, it's shocking, it's emotional, it's dramatic. But gameplay wise...oh God. What a chore.

Story wise it was still fantastic. The main story hits hard, it's shocking, it's emotional, it's dramatic. But gameplay wise...oh God. What a chore.

    FLASHBACKS

    I really wanted this game to end. I hate flashbacks so much and to force the player not to just watch a flashback...but to PLAY THE CHARACTERS IN THE FLASHBACK is a whole new level of my hatred haha. At one point it's like "3 years earlier." You beat that part then it says "1 year earlier" then you beat that part and it says, "3 months earlier." I was like STOP IT! Let me move forward! I think it could've cut out like 17 flashbacks and we would've still understood the points they were trying to make. There is no excuse for this amount of flashbacks.

    It doesn't help that many of the flashbacks are such mundane, boring things. Playing guitar, forcing you to play fetch with a dog, forcing you to play a mini-game where you shoot suction cupped arrows at targets...forcing you to walk through an entire museum and look at every exhibit and every display while WALKING (and not letting you sprint). And you cannot skip these things. You have to do them in order to move on to the next level. WHY?!

    And if the flashback itself wasn't painful enough to be forced to play through...the game forces you to play as the character as you travel to the place to do the boring thing in each flashback. Going to a museum? Great. You have to HIKE THERE, and SWIM, and travel for miles before reaching it. Just to go inside and do a boring thing. Fun. So. Fun.

    It makes you travel everywhere in general. Some of the moments where I almost turned the game off are when characters have to reach a building that's super far away. There's a cinematic where they're like "oh look that building is WAY over there. Let's go." and I expect it to cut to me there. But nope...the cinematic ends and my character is standing miles away. And now here I go...I have to once again hike, climb, and swim my way all the way over there. Because that's so very fun to do...

    SKILL TREE

    The skill tree is also strange. You level it up downward. So for instance if the top-most skill is crafting med-kits and the bottom-most skill is "increased health." Then you're forced to purchase every pointless skill in that skill tree just to get to "increased health." Whereas in the last game you can level up whatever skill you wanted, whenever you wanted, which was nice. I found myself just gathering things and pointlessly level up skills just to reach the one I really wanted. Felt very wasteful, as if they knew they were just designing skills to get in the way. As opposed to actually designing helpful ones that would be useful.

    PLAYING AS TWO CHARACTERS

    Just like in the first game, you play as another character in this one. I wont say who. But it goes on for so long that you kinda forget why you're playing as this person. You do a whole bundle of side-objectives that don't feel that relevant. And they have their own entire skill tree and level up system so it's a whole other branch of the game that pulls you away from the main story. It feels odd. As if they couldn't decide which storyline to commit to so they tried to just squeeze them both in together.

    The game basically doubles down on all the things I hated about it by adding a second character. Only this time it makes you go through many of the exact same areas that you already beat as the first character. Spent a lot of time sneaking around this area before? Sucks...now you gotta do it again as THIS CHARACTER.

    OVERALL

    A highly repetitive game that I wished would end many different times. In-between all the filler and fluff though is a solid story screaming for attention. But it's a chore to find, and a chore to stick with.    … Expand

    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]
