    A chic game worthy of the title of the best game of the decade. not 10 because it did not live up to my fan expectations, but my expectations are my problems. Fascinating diverse gameplay, excellent combat, a lot of craft and interesting skills. Many options for passing despite the linearity of the game.

Without doubt one of the best games I've ever played. The only criticism I could level at it, is that it's hard to replay. The game tells a phenomenal story, of pain and grief and trauma. It's moving and heartbreaking. But those stories are some of the best stories ever told. But it's hard to want to face that story again. The Last of us 2 is a benchmark in video gaming and a sound end to the PlayStation 4 era.… Expand

Когда первый раз проходил, не хотелось играть за Эбби, хотелось увидеть финал. Но проходя 2 раз я ей проникся, может даже больше, чем Элли. Лев и Яра очень милые! Дина - чудо! Томми....его голос, я получал аудиальный оргазм. Джесс нудноват, но хороший друг. Эволюция Джоэла обратно в человека, такого каким он был до смерти Сары - очень порадовало. Понравилось, что он не сдал назад, и Элли его не сломала в плане выбора: нужно было её спасать или нет. Их последний разговор - шедеврален и мил. Я в восторге от игры! Спасибо Ноти дог!!! Спасибо актёрам и сценаристам!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was fantastic, and despite a very vocal community saying otherwise, it far surpassed "the sequel we deserved". We get to see Ellie grown up, using Joel's influence to forge her own path. We get to understand Abby's motivations as well. This story is all about the search for Vengeance, and how well it fits in a post-outbreak world, that is to say, not very well. If you feel torn up at the end, good, that is how you were meant to feel. These times change us all, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. The ultimate lesson is to do something valuable with the time you have left. Thank you.… Expand

    esse jogo é simplesmente fantástico, mexeu comigo de várias formas, e as acessibilidades de modificar a dificuldade e como os inimigos se comunicam entre si é fantástico, mas o que não me agradou foi o fato da campanha da Abby ser um pouquinho tediosa, mas de resto é muito bom, as técnicas de combate, os gráficos e a movimentação está ótima

    In my opinion this game is a masterpiece. Amazing graphics and amazing animations. From gameplay side this game is almost perfect. But the story ahhh how can I say, The game doing what it wants. Game wants me to hate character than it wants us to love. And it did it. Game succeeds what it wants. Best game I have ever played since 2019

    The Last Of Us Part 2 really earns that "Part 2" in the title, being less of a sequel and more of a continuation of the original, building on both the story and mechanics of the previous game for an incredibly engaging experience.

    To rattle off some bits;

    -This game is dense with content, with a length probably twice that of the previous game. Despite this, I never felt that things were dragging on for too long or inundated with filler.

    -The controls have been pleasantly polished, feeling less stiff than the original. They even added a dodge which comes in handy when dealing with infected. Like the original, the shooting feels great, and all the guns have a satisfying punch to them.

    -Environments are a lot less linear now, with a smattering of optional side paths, encounters, and puzzles.

    -The puzzles have been expanded on in terms of variety from the first game, with more platforming, rope swinging, and window breaking. The shiv doors from the original have been replaced with the previously mentioned optional puzzles as well as safes with codes hidden in the environment, so don't worry about using shivs this time around.

    -Upgrading your weapons and abilities have gone through a sort of switch. Gone are tool boxes, so all weapon upgrades are available from the start (so long as you have enough scrap), but now you need magazines to get more ability upgrades. I'd say this is an improvement because you need a bench to upgrade a weapon (and there aren't that many benches), while you can upgrade abilities anywhere.

    -Stealth has also been expanded, with tall grass being an option when trying to hide from human enemies. If you do get spotted, you can always run, as human enemies will lose track of you if you break line of sight (clickers not so much). You can also go prone, which I dismissed at first but found surprisingly useful when trying to get around ranged foes.

    -I'll avoid spoilers, but the narrative is really engaging overall and does a good job of getting you in the head-space of who you're playing as and see where they're coming from. Be warned, this game goes to some dark, heart wrenching places, but leaves you with a lot to think about.

    -This would be a 10/10, but I docked a point because the first zone of the game after the tutorial is this free roaming section that feels a bit too slow compared to the rest of the game, which I think could make a bad first impression (looking at you Pat). There are also a few too many walking sections that could have been cut down, but that's a minor gripe against an overall fantastic game.

    - I also miss the multiplayer ( ; A ; )

    If you really enjoyed the first game, I'd highly suggest you pick this one up.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the first chapter in 2015. I bought this one on day 1. The game is truly unique in gameplay, graphics, lightning and story, and it's a pinnacle of this generation of consoles. I was waiting for this game A LOT and my expectations were very high (I bought the PS3 because of the original The Last of Us). Nonetheless, the game met my expectations. The only major problem that the game has is, in my opinion, HOW the story is told, and I mean the order and the pacing through which the game and the story present themselves. Sometimes, the tension and the pacing just drop down, interrupting a climax (for example when we switch from Ellie's point of view to Abby's). Moreover, I think that presenting both Abby's and Ellie's story chronologically by alternating and rotating between their points of views on a daily basis would have brought a greater experience and a deeper attachments to Abby's friends. Instead, in the way the game is presented, it's really hard to get attached to characters like Owen, for example, because we already know that Ellie is going to kill him in a few days. Apart from the pacing and the order the game is told, the game is a masterpiece and went for something completely different from the previous chapter, something that didn't please many users. I won't say what this game excels in, because we all already know. Oh, and I played the game twice and playing through Ellie's part the second time makes you understand better a lot of things, like for example, when WLF members are talking about searching for someone who escaped (which we know is Abby only after switching to Abby's part), or when WLF members talk about a sniper killing all their men (we know that sniper is Tommy only when we switch to Abby's part). This is another outcome of their narrative choice of telling first Ellie's point and view and THEN Abby's one.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not someone that ever writes reviews for games, so i think the fact that I'm taking the time to write this speaks of itself a little bit. The last of us was my favourite game, I loved the characters and I loved the complexities of their stories and personalities. The first game questioned the morals of all the groups encountered and provided some insight into Joel's history and implied his grey moral area. Joel was not a hero, he was just the protagonist. When he dies in part 2, I had to pause the game to stop myself from having a full blown panic attack, and my vision was blurry from rage. I wanted Abby to die immediately and painfully, but by the end of the game, I desperately did not want Ellie to kill her. I've never had a game not only consider the morals of the "villain" but then completely change my viewpoint and empathy. The story wasn't about revenge against Abby anyway, she was a distraction for ours and Ellie's grief and turmoil. Ellie hadn't forgiven Joel for the fireflies, and he died before she could so her emotions was redirected to killing Abby. I don't think she was out of character. I also don't think the plot holes were nearly as bad as some people think they are. The characters made "stupid" decisions because they are written as human beings, who, shockingly, make stupid decisions! I'm not saying its a perfect game, and if you didn't like it then you're well within your right, but I do feel sorry for you that you can't appreciate this game for what it is.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “if i ever were to lose you, i’d surely lose myself” — a masterpiece, and an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. i was skeptical about the story when i saw the leaks, but they do not do this game justice. it may be set in the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse but this is at it’s core a game about loss, revenge, redemption and coping. joel’s death is brutal, but it is necessary. not everyone gets a hero’s death, especially when they aren’t really a hero. it is a testament to the skill of the writers that within the first 10 minutes of learning the story of joel’s killer, i immediately sympathised with her, and loved her by the end. this game tells the story of two women who have lost or pushed away everything they held dear — yet, neither of them is right or wrong, good or bad. they are both consumed by revenge, which slowly chips away at their humanity. what makes this worthwhile is the moments where their eroding humanity still shines through - ellie’s relationships with dina, jj, and jesse and abby’s relationships with yara, lev and owen. the lengths their hatred makes them go to in their respective paths can be frustrating and heartbreaking to watch, but the conclusion it reaches at the end of its 30 hours of gameplay is haunting and beautiful. it will stick with me for a long time.

    the gameplay is a big step up from the first. movement and combat is quicker and more fluid, there is a larger variety of weapons and crafting options, and there are a variety of ways to approach any combat situation. all enemies are smarter this time around, and the infected are scarier than ever. the environment of every chapter is much more varied, each accompanied with a fitting soundtrack and atmosphere to match. areas are generally larger than the first game which is good; but can be overwhelming if you’re a completionist who likes to scour every nook and cranny for supplies or collectibles. don’t miss out. this game is an essential experience for any gamer, especially those who fell in love with the world and with joel and ellie in TLOU1.    … Expand

    Phenomenal. Tells an admittedly divisive story, but if you go into it with an open mind there is a better chance you will enjoy it. It is not at all like the first game, it's much darker, more violent, less cheerful. A very devastating story. Gameplay and graphics are top notch and extremely enjoyable, especially on harder difficulties. I loved it.

    The last of us part 2 is a delicate and controversial game and topic to talk about. The story is written wonderfully. It has controversial scenes that make the player feel disgusted and angry.

Its a brutal game and having these flashbacks is nice to be able to breathe. This is a story that you’re not supposed to like because of the way it makes you feel and the choices you make. But it’s definitely a great game. Yes, people are attached to Joel are quite passionate and they feel his death was disrespectful. The manner in which he was killed does not determine bad writing. The way he was killed was supposed to make the player feel angry, disgusted, and emotional. In the world of the last of us, there are no villains or heroes. People die in tragic ways and it's not something anyone deserves. It was the artist's intent to make the player feel that way. I understand people want their characters to die in a heroic way but this is not one of those games. The game is a roller coaster of emotions and there will be people who appreciate the game more than others. That’s how life is. The gameplay is phenomenal and I recommend players to play it on "survivor" because it makes the game brutal and difficult. The graphics are gorgeous and I played it on my 4k tv and I was immersed in the scenery. The music by Gustavo is masterful! I have the 3d audio headphones and my experience was amazing. One of my biggest flaws is pacing after the first half. I felt detached from the experience a little. I recommend taking breaks because the game is long. It took me 29hrs to beat this game and I found many interesting moments that many players could miss if you do not explore. Overall, to me, it wasn't a story about revenge. It was about forgiveness and loss. Joel dies early in the game but the game is still about him. Whether you hate or love the game you cannot deny how it made you feel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLoU 2 - это великолепная игра. Это не шедевр игроиндустрии, однако все же Нил Дракман (как и вся студия Naughty Dog) проделал замечательную работу. Я допускаю что сюжет в игре может кому-то не понравится, но все же он великолепен. Сразу стоит оговориться, что половина игры за Эбби имеет право на жизнь, если принять условие данное игрой. Лично я принял обстоятельство игры за Эбби и даже получал удовольствие от игры. В особенности мне понравились скорее второстепенные персонажи, которых Эбби встречает, чем сама Эбби. И тут стоит немного поговорить о структуре игры за неё.
    Во-первых, Эбби это явное отражение Джоэла из Первой части. И в этом, как мне кажется, и кроется главная проблема игры за неё - она пуста. Пуста на столько же, насколько в начале пуст Джоэл. Но разница Эбби и Джоэла заключается в их спутниках. Лев сам по себе очень сильно напоминает Элли из конца игры, когда они уже дошли до Больницы. И это главная проблема игры - поворот с пощадой Элли не работает на полную. Игра за Эбби - это примерно как игра за Джоэла в конце игры, только растянуть её до 10~ часов. Это просто уныло.
    Однако это моя единственная претензия к игре, потому что во всем остальном - это шедевр поколения, игра которая точно принесет вам ураган эмоций.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having only played part 1 of this franchise about 3 years ago, i did not have to wait as long as a lot of other fans. Those 3 years were filled with pure excitement, anticipation and, of course, impatience. I absolutely loved part 1. It nestled its way close to my heart, and part 2 is no different. I put almost 32 hours into this game and I loved every single second of it. The story was nothing I could have ever expected. When they revealed that the doctor Joel had killed, was Abby's father I audibly gasped. I have smiled and shed tears throughout the whole game. Happiness and sadness were both prominent. Not to mention relief. I absolutely hated Ellie for leaving the farm, for leaving the seemingly perfect life she had with Dina and JJ, but I knew she had to go after Abby again. I felt it coming but still hated it. The Ellie boss fight was one of the hardest battles I had ever had to fight, or so I thought. The final fight against Abby certainly takes that spot. I cannot describe how desperate I was for Ellie to stop fighting. Every punch she landed made me sick to my stomach. I didn't want her to kill Abby so I just kept making her dodge Abby's punches, hoping the game would somehow sense that she, that I, didn't want any of this happening. Relief coursed through my body when Ellie stopped, realising that killing Abby would amount to an even greater loss. In the end, letting Abby live was what Ellie needed the most, which we can conclude when looking at Ellie's journal when she visits the farm again. This was one hell of a game and I applaud anyone involved in the making of it. No game, or any other type of media, is ever perfect but this game comes incredibly close. Here's to more games like this, and maybe a part 3 someday, please?… 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.
