    Attention please! This is a review written by someone who HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED AND FINISHED THE GAME. The whole freaking 30 hours, yes. I'm also not going to spoil anything here, only talk about the overall experience.

    First, lets talk about those 30 hours. **** hell, this game is loooong. I swear to God, they could've easily made 2 games out of all the events and stuff that happens in    Attention please! This is a review written by someone who HAS ACTUALLY PLAYED AND FINISHED THE GAME. The whole freaking 30 hours, yes. I'm also not going to spoil anything here, only talk about the overall experience.

    First, lets talk about those 30 hours. **** hell, this game is loooong. I swear to God, they could've easily made 2 games out of all the events and stuff that happens in this game. And absolutely nothing in it feels like "filler" content, the game just bombards you with action after action, twist after twist, it's insane. The game also has more locations and places to explore than I could've ever imagined, it's RIDICULOUS. Not ONE of them looks rushed or anything lesser than a masterpiece in terms of detail and visuals.

    Talking about visuals, HOLY **** You played Uncharted 4? Yeah, this game looks considerably better. I don't know how it's possible, but it's true. TLOU 2 has absolutely no right to look this good on a current gen console. The PS4 goes out with a bang with this game.

    STORY. Oh, **** What the **** do i even say here... I close my eyes and I see scenes from the game. Play it. Do it and you'll understand. I'm kinda going through my adjectives here, I don't even know how to describe it. The game will take you on a ride and there's no getting off until you reach the end. It's history making kind of story. People will talk about it for years to come.

    I left one of the best parts for last... The gameplayyyyy. Visceral. **** Visceral. Absolutely ridiculous what they did here. No other game comes as close in terms of making your enemies feel ALIVE. Making your character feel alive while in combat. No game has did what TLOU 2 has done in terms of gameplay. EVER.    … Expand

    One of the best games I ever played.
    Emotional rollercoaster, the game takes very brave choise with the storyline. I loved and hated the game I cried and loughed throughout the gut ranching story.
    Incredible piece of gaming and story telling history

    I've just finished my 2nd playthrough, and my only complaint with the game was that I had to turn on a few of the navigation accessibility options to get through some of the more challenging and/or open levels and puzzles. I think that's more of an issue with me as a player, and a credit to the studio for allowing me a solution.

I think that's more of an issue with me as a player, and a credit to the studio for allowing me a solution. So, after finishing the game twice, and helping my girlfriend who is also playing through it now, I'd say the hate is at worst toxic and at best hyperbolic. There are some decisions I'd prefer changed, in regards to the order in which the story beats play out, but that's a minor gripe when I can sing high praises for the other parts of the story that I loved. Even if you don't necessarily like the story, the gameplay and technology on display here is insane. I played through very stealthy on the default difficulty the first time and it was fun but standard stealth action fare; it was when I let loose on a custom difficulty and just faced the music head on that the game really shined for me. You will see bits of gameplay that you'd swear were a cutscene. It's mesmerizing. It's a very violent good time.… Expand

    The direction this game took was not in-line with the first game. The treatment of the characters was bizarre. Not really sure what kind of message there were trying to aim at here but this game is negative for the sake of shock value and pessimism. A very well-crafted and constructed BAD game.

Well, Naughty Dog was certainly successful at leading me to that obvious conclusion. However, the way that they conveyed the message of hate was so reckless that it was completely counterproductive. It only lead me to hate the game itself and want revenge inflicted upon the writer himself for his blatant disrespect of both the original characters, as well as the passion of fans themselves towards those very same characters. The writing could have been done much more "constructively" in regard to both character development and plot. It needed more purpose, I honestly felt like this game was void of any and it even bled over to make the original game's plot irrelevant. It's disgraceful that no "critics" were even remotely critical of this game. It has its strengths sure, but it certainly has its considerable flaws too. If graphics and gameplay are your driving force in selection of games considered to be enjoyable, this will be an acceptable addition. If you want a good, heartfelt, and well executed story like I enjoyed most about the first game, this is not par for the course...if anything I'd prefer a mulligan actually.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay takes all elements of the first installment and polishes and improves those experiences. Level design and setting are breathtakingly rendered and create tones that match the story beats. Despite others' negative story reviews, I loved it--the narrative takes chances and risks reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid 2 that challenge the player to become emotionally connected and reactive to the characters (old and new) and their decisions. While some players may wish for "canned," one-dimensional characters who make predictable moves, the story asks takes on the cyclical cycle of revenge by asking the player to participate in all sides.… Expand

    Напишу сразу, я ненавижу когда разработчики принудительно запихивают в игры LGBT элементы, и тем самым их портят. THE LAST OF US PART II не обошло это стороной, и тем не менее, игра ШЕДЕВР. Не знаю почему идиоты ставят игре 0 и 1, может потому что Элли ВНЕЗАПНО стало лесбиянкой( это было понятно из DLC к первой части игры,которая вышло почти сразу за ней), или потому что в нее не играли.Напишу сразу, я ненавижу когда разработчики принудительно запихивают в игры LGBT элементы, и тем самым их портят.

    Единственный минус игры что долго раскачивается начало, возможно у некоторых не хватило терпения пройти дальше 3 главы. Сюжет,геймплей,сцены, реплики, окружение,дизайн уровней, физика и баллистика оружия, ГРАФОН( да, тут он выдавливает все соки из PS4).

    I'm seeing all of the hate for this story and I'm genuinely perplexed. I was enthralled for nearly the entire game, despite the massive plot holes and sometimes meager exposition. Every performance was top notch, the actors did a wonderful job fleshing out their respective characters rendering them likeable and tangible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I not only finished this game, but also watched other players play it. I feel like I was betrayed and shot in my head from behind. After all 6-7 years of waiting, all we've got is such a poor story with too many plot holes. Neil Druckmann didn't do his job well, for more exactly he did it terribly. Here are details of what I think about this game:

    Pros:
    - Game-play: good
    - Sound: great!
    - Graphic: very good
    - Environment: very good

    Cons:
    - story: terrible (the way Joel gave up his life, the unreasonable ending, etc)
    - plot holes: disgusting
    - character design: fairly okay
    - character development: unreasonably ridiculous
    - We gamers and players are forced to play Abby, and have no option to choose to deal with her at the end of the game. We don't like it !!! You tried to bring much more back-story of Abby to force us to feel with her, to make her a new main playable character, right after she killed Joel in a dirty way. Now that's the most terrible writing in history. Don't play with human emotions!    … Expand

    I never thought I'd see so much hate levied at this game which at first glance seems like evangelical-conservative-sovereign-citizen-kryptonite with almost every element being anathema to that world view but I think that's incidental to the random hate.

    It seems like in every comment I see about this game's ending that the people who hate it understand the ending, they just flatly refuse to accept it. This game constantly flies directly against US revenge culture which has always clashed heavily with Jesus's concept of forgiveness.

    This is why they don't offer a meaningful rebuttal to the message of this game, they just pick it apart like the babies picked apart The Last Jedi or Empire Strikes Back when they came out. The actual reaction to this game is what makes it a masterpiece more than the story itself.    … 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.
