    This is a poor game of revenge. No one acts like they did before. Joel and Ellie act like they dropped a few IQ points since the first game. The theme of humans are the real monsters falls apart since it feels completely contrived. The theme of 'revenge never pays off' falls apart since the clear villain of the game gets everything she wants by the end of it. For a better game of revenge,This is a poor game of revenge.

This game has very misleading trailers and the reviewers were allowed to talk only about the 1st half of the game based on the early copy agreement. ND gave fans the perspective that this is a revenge story with Joel and Ellie on the journey and the only playable character is Ellie.
    ND talked about how this game is about honouring Joel and Ellie which is not true at all. They completely changed the last of us for the sake of telling a dark conflicted profound story but the execution was not good. If you love the characters in the 1st game, i recommend you not to play it cuz it is so disrespectful to fans. If you want a conflicting morale story with politics included, you may enjoy it. Even then you will find the pacing of the game bad and your interest in playing it will decline and you would just want to see the ending which is unsatisfying making the whole story and new game + pointless.

    The game director said fun is not a word to describe the last of us 2 so if you are looking for a fun game, this is not it.

    You might like characters but you will find it pointless to cuz of the story.

    The gameplay , graphics, mechanics, voice acting are all amazing but the story fails and the last of us 1 was known for its beautiful story.


    If you love tlou1 characters especially, let their story in your mind end there. If you are curious ,watch on youtube Joel confession to Tommy and Joel sings to Ellie, Ellie's museum birthday, Joel and Ellie guitar strings , Joel confession to Ellie,Joel Jackson party, Ellie talks about Joel decision.

    Watch it in the this order.

    If you love and care about the Joel Ellie Tommy relationship , do not play TLOU2.

    May your survival be long.
    May your death be swift.    … Expand

    "The game where they kill your loved ones and do nothing" Part 2. How is it possible that they completely forget to develop the story and only focus on a person's sexuality. Who the hell asked for gender identity in the characters when people just loved the story? Terrible and I will never buy from this video game company again.

    The story consistently reiterating a theme that was present since the ending of TLOU 1: Is this killing OK? Shouldn’t I try to save this person? What if that means killing someone else? Sometimes there are just no good choices.
    There is a huge twist somewhere in the game that the developer took a big gamble on, and I believe a lot of the controversy or hate of the game came from there. But that very same twist is also what makes this game so rewarding. The complex emotional journey I experienced playing it would not be possible without that twist.
    Gameplay-wise, some levels dragged on a bit long; I wish there was less time spent scavenging but overall a largely exciting, mainly-steath gameplay that allowed considerable freedom in most levels.
    Bottom line: I would recommend this game wholeheartedly to anyone who appreciates a gripping, dark, unique, and emotional experience rather than a one-sided 'hero' journey.    … Expand

    This is a great sequel worthy of The Last of Us. Don’t listen to the review bombing saying “ItS bAd WrItIng”. It’s excellent, emotional, complicated storytelling. A few minor quibbles keeps it from being a ten (e.g., it’s a little dark, there’s too many human enemies to infected enemies). Overall, Naughty Dog knocked it out of the park.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 SPOILERS BELOW.

    Please don't read below if you haven't completed the game.

    1)Some argue that Ellie killed so many people to get to Abby but then let her go.

    It is because she sees JOEL in Abby. Had she killed Abby then Lev wouldn’t get the same care she got as kiddo.

    People argue that Joel could sense ambush but he & Tommy walked straight in to an ambush in TLOU2

    This game happens years after TLOU. There are lot of people who travel the country to do trade with a settlement

    Joel traded a lot & He could have assumed Abby's group as traders

    Why Ellie goes again after Abby?

    It's not just because of Tommy visiting them but Ellie's own trauma of losing Joel brutally haunts her.

    So she wishes to end it by confronting and killing Abby or being killed. But she sees Joel in Abby and so she let's her go and finds peace.

    It's Abby who actually loses more than Ellie in #TLOU2

    Like many even I hated to play the game as Abby from day 1. But as the story progressed it became intense.

    Every QTE scared me.
    I wanted both Ellie & Abby to live. That's what this game does.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Эбби отстой. Ее плохо раскрыли, отсутствуют предпосылки в прошлой части. Такое ощущение будто сюжет переписывали наспех и не успели доделать. Геймплей хорош, графика супер!
    В целом можно было бы и так но дизайн некоторых персонажей подкачал:
    (Эбби - ужасна по определению, Дина - не так красива по сравнению с актрисой, игравшей ее, Джоэл - пускай и постарел по сюжету, но выглядит слишком уж плохо, особенно по отношению к певой части)
    "повестку" не рассматриваю в принципе тк это тупо и если у тебя есть голова на плечах то ты сможешь понять что эта (повестка) ни на что не влияет

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last Of Us Part II is a good game, story wasn't as powerful as the first installment and killing Joel was a huge disappointment but at the same time I can understand why Neil Druckmann made that decision to let Ellie's character and story evolve. You also get to play as Abby and Naughty Dog tried to make you see her side of the story and understand there is no good guys in Last Of Us, however I'm too stubborn and Joel is one of my all time favorite characters so she can go suck a d***. Also the other side characters aren't very likable. Dina is a pain. Mel is a whiny b****, Manny isn't funny and Owen is one of the most vanilla characters.

    The graphics are way ahead of it's time and I did have fun playing this game. My huge problem with it is the ending. The ending made the whole game pointless and gave Abby the better ending compared to Ellie. I would of rather the ending have been a dream like Dallas and Joel is still alive.

    Was it the game I wanted? Graphics 100% Controls and Crafting 100% even the world they had from the original was 100% but if tweaks had been made to the storyline then this game would of been a proud sequel to one of the greatest games ever made.    … Expand

    A great way of making a point. This is one of those games that leaves a lasting effect. In the past, Spielberg has said that video games don't move audiences the same way as movies; I think this game disagrees with him (and I'd hope he'd agree with that).

I'm hopefully staying clear of spoilers when I say this: there are parts in this game that make you want to turn it off, not because it's a terrible game but because it's a great one, one where you just want it to stop because you know that by proceeding you'll be proven wrong in your understanding; and I think it's this that people are struggling with. It's a lesson in understanding, a lesson sorely needed for us all. For those of you taking those 0s and 1s out of 10 into consideration I'll ask you this: how can a game with such incredible graphics, attention to details and game-play have a 0? Many will scoff and say the game's writer has done something very wrong at the start. It's a dystopian future, one where the character's decisions have lawless consequences. If you liked the first game and are interested in this one then just play it. Make your own mind up; all I'd suggest is playing it all the way through before reviewing it. Many (not all) of these 0s and 1s seem to have appeared within the game's first day of release. It took me just over 30 hours to complete the game.… Expand

Da trama densa e impactante ao visual que é uma verdadeira pintura, temos um gameplay refinadíssimo, que evoluiu em tudo o que a ND fez nos ultimos anos. O jogo simplesmente não tem defeitos, algo raro nos dias de hoje. Que venha a parte 3!

    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]
