The story is great but with some minor adjustments to the explaining of the characters motives would be beneficial. On the side not, the characters animations are so beautiful and smooth, it feels like I'm controlling and actual human being who is running around and shooting other zombies. You can obviously tell that there is so much work that was put into this game that did not go to waste. I believe that they truly made something great, that I will be able to remember for years to come.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра очень хороша. Смысл игры в насилии, с чего он начинается, и к чему приводит. Основные проблемы игры в: 1.)концовках- играть за Эбби и пытался убить Элли и наобарот, при этом постоянно умирать и перезагружается, уж очень бесит. 2.) Когда когда на половине игры у тебя забирают уже прокаченную Элли, у которой уже всё оружее, ресурсы и навыки, и впихивают "голую" Эбби без оружия, ресурсов и навыков, то воспринимается это не очень хорошо. 3.) Мне понятна сюжетная линия и её смысл, но когда тебе уже насильно впихивают историю Эбби, то очень наскучивает, всё прохождение за Эбби у меня вызывало лишь скуку и неприязнь. У меня как у огромного фаната первой части, конечно вызвало возмущение убийство Джоэла в самом начале, но позже оно утихло. Я понимаю смысл истории,-что Элли сошла с ума на почве мести, но ничего столь плохого я в сюжете не вижу, теперь первая часть воспринимается как: "сказка про розовых единорогов", не иначе, ведь вторая часть намного жёстче и сложнее (в морали) . Я люблю эту игру, и всё же жду продолжение.… Expand

    I spent 1500+ hours in this game. I’d give the gameplay a 10. Love the story too but can’t really stand the way they took out Joel so overall I can only give it a 9.

The game overall provides a good storyline and what the characters had to say or do are great overall, the gameplay is great with fantastic graphics and the world in the game looks fabulous especially if you will have a 4k TV with ps5. Would definitely recommend only if you have completed the first last of us because you would get a sense of who the characters are and what they feel throughout the second part of the game. The one star its missing is the ending as I didn't really find it exciting and would go more deeper into where and when the other characters went but that could be a whole another storyline… Expand

    Gameplay is absolutely incredible.
    In PS5 you can play it at 60 fps and the realism is awesome.

    However, the story is worse than TLOUI and Abby's part is a bit boring

I've been holding off on this title for awhile now due to reviews and decided to finally play it and completed it. it is a pretty solid title, i loved the 1st game kind of sad to see what happens to some characters, but the story has emotion, kept me on the edge of my seat most of the game. I get it, people can't handle certain parts of the story and review bombs this game because of story doesn't go the way they want it to. To me the story is solid, gameplay is solid. this is a awesome game. great job naughty dog.… Expand

    This is completely up to The Last of Us 1. In fact, you can perceive a better developed "rawness" that the one they transmitted on the TLOU1, because that is the word that best describes this game, "raw". There is a lot of hate towards this game that, to be honest, made me expect the worst of it due to its reviews. It turned out to be completely the opposite. If you're a lover of non-linear stories where you got **** and need to reflect on what just happened, you'll enjoy this title. At the end of the day, this game tries to represent the rawness of real life, depression, and vengeance. From my point of vie, this is a masterpiece because it achieves what it tries to communicate and make you feel. People is hating because they didn't get their typical linear story and they aren't able to appreciate what goes beyond with their little closed minds.

    Regarding what I didn't like, it is really a lengthy game and it felt way too long. I don't know if it was made on purpose but towards the end it seems like it is going to end in several moments (because of the location) but then you realise that there are still maaaany hours of game left. I would have chosen other locations to avoid generating this feeling of "tiredness".

    There's nothing else to say. Just enjoy.    … Expand

    Very mild spoilers ahead.

    Ignore the review bombing. This game is almost perfect. It has tense gameplay, a story that pulls you in and gets you emotionally invested in everything that's going on. Personally when Act 1 was over, I wasn't angry at NaughtyDog, I was angry with the WLF and was ready to kill them all.

    Ignore the review bombing. This game is almost perfect. It has tense gameplay, a story that pulls you in and gets you emotionally invested in everything that's going on. Personally when Act 1 was over, I wasn't angry at NaughtyDog, I was angry with the WLF and was ready to kill them all. The graphics are incredible, the level of detail seen here is unlike 99% of the games released on the market, the gunplay is pretty much as good as it gets with great gore, unique voice lines for most enemies, even standard NPCs, incredible difficulty settings (that's a rare compliment to give a game) and some of the best SOUND I've ever experienced in a game. You hear every little thing in this game, from tiny pieces of glass softly crunching as you slowly creep around claustrophobic abandoned buildings, to the breath of your enemy down the hallway. The survival horror aspect of this game is also on-point. You will find yourself legitimately scrounging for ammo and trying to conserve your shots while in combat, which forces you to get creative with your approaches and actually give a damn about how you take these levels on. It's not just about mindless crouch jogging and pressing Square to stealth kill clueless AIs, and then mindlessly running through swarms of bad guys with your overpowered weaponry. The stealth is unique, creative, and challenging. The combat makes your heart race and you'll quickly find yourself getting flanked from multiple directions by intelligent AI that will actually work together to try to flush you out. The cut scenes are fully rendered and beautiful, there's not a single scene in this game that looks bad, and the mild RPG elements of collecting parts for weapons upgrades and pills for stat upgrades goes just deep enough to scratch an itch without being overbearing.

    Disagreeing with certain plot points and subjects within the game (such as the "oh violence bad" criticism) doesn't suddenly strip all of this away. Reviewing the game with a 0 or 1 PURELY on the plot, when the gameplay is at the WORST a 7/10 is just entirely dishonest and childish. Criticism where it's due, but also CREDIT where its due, and the devs that were responsible for the GAMEPLAY and visuals of this game had nothing to do with the narrative side and they don't deserve to be ripped on when they did an amazing job in every way imaginable.

    If you don't know anything about The Last of Us 2, then keep it that way, and just go into this game with a clear mind and enjoy the ride. If I can describe this game in one word it would be TENSION. Every step, every hallway, every building you search, feels tense. You always feel like you're a moment away from a horde, or a giant group of armed men with dogs and you never know when it's going to come. This feeling keeps the entire game feeling fresh and keeps you invested, as opposed to other games where you're so ridiculously powerful halfway through you just monotonously trudge around the map mowing down everything in your path. This game is NOT that. If you pick up the controller, you'll find it hard to put it down.    … Expand

Igual el vivir dos historias que se acaban uniendo no acabas de empatizar con alguna de las protagonistas de la historia. Juego de notable alto y muy recomendable para la gente que haya jugado su primera parte.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly don't get why everyone is so upset with this game. I knew from the beginning that Joel would die anytime soon, so it wasn't really a suprise to me. If Joel would've been kept alive throughout the entire game, the storyline would've been so much less interesting. In other words, it would've been exactly like the first Last Of Us game. Abby and all the other new characters were NOT badly written. Getting to know completely new characters does not have to be a bad thing, especially with (for example) Abby's backstory. The only thing I have to agree on is that the ending could've been a bit different due to the logic behind it (or lack thereof), but that's still not a reason to hate this masterpiece of a game. The graphics are a 10/10. The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I've played.… 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]
