    I think that this game is technically perfect, the story has so forced elements to cause impact in the player that makes a empty experience, do not buy this if you have affection with the first game.

    Un maelström de délires SJW, un crachat au visage des joueurs ne souhaitant pas adhérer à l'agenda progressiste devenu une caricature du "progrès".

    L'homophobie n'a absolument rien à voir là-dedans, je suis moi-même lesbienne mais ne supporte plus cette propagande permanente !

    Je mets la note de 0 pour contrer les donneurs de leçons de service et leurs 10/10 militants.

    Jogo Muito bom, deu um 9 pois eu acho que a relação do Joel com a Ellie poderia ser melhor trabalhado e Sua morte também deveria ser melhor elaborada e não ter acontecido muito cedo.

    There is no information on Abby. Abby kill Joel and we need to control Abby at all. Crazy.
    In addition, why against this game is again lgbt etc. I do not understand. I cannot see these characters are happy at all.
    I did not enjoy the game and the post adveristment shows Joel and Ellie to celebrate father day. Which is totally disgusting.    … Expand

    If they wanted to destroy the characters from the first game and give us a story devoid of anything that makes you feel good; then they should have made a different game. Don't call it the last of us 2, because it's the worst sequel I've ever played.

    It makes you feel dead! Don't play this game if you want to enjoy a story.

    There are things that will always be with you. Not like burns that you don’t remember until someone asks. But others, mental burns that you can’t get rid of, that every day with you, that you need to put up or try to heal at any cost. Justice, good and evil, all this is subjective in the eyes of the beholder, and often patching wounds with the help of revenge only gives rise to new wounds.There are things that will always be with you.

    Many thanks to Neil Druckmann and Naughty Dog for incredible emotions, impressions and countless deep questions that I will not stop asking myself.    … Expand

    It is a technically speaking game, the gameplay is good, it has wonderful graphics, some beautiful scenes, beautiful music, the problem with the game is the story. It had a very strange course, characters dying for free, the joel's death was very meaningless, the joel from the first game would never die like that, it is a game but with a very controversial story.

    I came here to rate this game as it should be rated, it’s not a 3 or 4 out of 10, it’s an easy 10/10 game and completely does justice to the first game.

    Lets start off with the positive: the graphics looks good, The environment is beautiful to look at, the gameplay is pretty average with new step-up to its previous game, and the voice acting is great and the music is great. Now knowing The Last of Us, the core of the game is story and characters and this game doesn't deliver that.

They tried to take this into a new direction and I don't like it imo. It's like everything from the first game is banished from this game like a sequel wasn't supposed to happen. When I saw the trailers for this game, I thought we were getting another Joel and Ellie bond adventure, but what we got was totally different. The fact that people liked the game and not looking back at the trailers makes it feel like they were manipulated with lies that they didn't know. I have played disappointing games before, but nothing lower than this fanfic of a game.… Expand

    In short, the first half is pretty good, probably an 8/10 by itself. Only real qualm is that characters make a lot of dumb, unbelievable decisions. I truly struggled to finish the second half, it was just terrible and I hate it so much.

    I was fan of first game and consider myself a Naughty Dog fan boy so I was going to love it no matter what. The game itself for me is just an extension of the first. Felt to be just extra levels to play through. The story is very enjoyable but I would have preferred to choose the the path of the story rather than being led to the final outcome just as an observer.

    All I can say is you pathetic entitled brats scoring this game so lowly need to get a life. Pathetic. If you liked the first last of us then there is no way you can dislike this one. It builds on everything the first got right, and ties the story up perfectly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ставлю 10 балов что бы внести свой вклад в установления справедливой оценки. Игра качественно продолжает сюжет первой части, и если что не понравилось то это скорее дело вкуса нежели сценарные проколы. В игре великолепная графика,качественное звуковое сопровождение, крутая атмосфера запоминающиеся персонажи и т.д. и т.п, в основном одни плюсы. Из минусов лично для себя выделю затянутость сюжета играя за Эбби, видеть Элли хотелось бы больше. Игра подарила кучу эмоций - ностальгию, улыбку качественно перетекающую в слезу смешанных чувств, злость(бомбило иногда, особенно когда заставили за Эбби против Элли сражаться) чувство тревоги в некоторых моментах и легкое чувство смятения и неопределенности в финале. В общем,не верьте 99% негативных оценок,это оценки людей которые скорее всего не игравший в эту игру и знающих о ней только то что Элли лесбиянка.Кстати о пропаганде ЛГБТ, в игре действительно присутствуют нотки толерантности(не толерастии) но на сюжет не влияют да воспринимаются адекватно. Честная оценка игре - 8.5-9 баллов, но ставлю 10 из за наплыва неадекватов.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a little late at this point but I want to air my view since I cannot contain my frustration and disappointment at this point.
    I just got done with this game and I am left with a complete and utter feeling of disgust and a hole being shot in my gut.

    Before I descend into my rant, I just want to commend what went right: The Graphics, The Game Mechanics and the Voice Acting.

    Now...

    The story telling and writing is in shambles. Most of the supporting characters are shallow and cringe which makes these inter-personal relationships seem superficial in that they only serve to make the cogs of the story work just for convenience sake.

    This game tries so hard to be a set apart from the first, that it completely breaks itself.

    If TLOU2 was a completely stand alone game with no ties to the prequel it still falls flat in that it betrays the player by making Abby the antagonist become utterly and completely hated within the first 2 hours of game play.

    So everyone is now on board with Ellie's revenge drive, great!
    Lines are drawn:
    Ellie = Good and
    Abby = Bad

    You play your way through and are fed this revenge plot and battle your way through various traumatic events and come to a climax.
    But instead of exacting your well deserves revenge you are then FORCED to play Ellie's antagonist and empathise with your enemy, which completely railroads you into developing a hate/but I have to play through this relationship with Abby.

    You are betrayed for placing all your empathy and feelings with Ellie when you play as Abby.

    At this point no sane and sound of mind person would feel comfortable with this change up.

    Moving on...

    You start to develop feelings through your game play with Abby for her situation and start to understand why she did what she did.

    ***Great I get you Abby! Let me play as Ellie now***

    Unfortunately, the worst part of the betrayal is that you are FORCED again to fight Ellie, which is uncomfortable and you don't really want to do it. Which sane person would feel comfortable and want to actually have a hand in destruction of the protagonist and be okay with it?

    Going forward...

    The ending... I don't get the thought process in the decisions made, they are uncharacteristic and are completely unsupported.

    Why did Ellie let Abby go when she flashed back to Joel?
    - Did she think Joel wouldn't want her to do it?
    - She literally gave up her family to keep the promise to Tommy and to ease her own mind (part of the explanation she gave Dina), so why stop?
    - She had nothing left to lose except to get her long awaited revenge.
    - It certainly couldn't be that she didn't want to take a life because she has a laundry list of people she's already take out in her path for revenge.

    It makes no sense in Ellie's perspective, the decision is uncharacteristic.

    But if you think about it this way:
    ** The creator now has 2 loved characters
    ** You as the player, as much as you don't want to admit it, have mixed feelings for both characters in the end and you might second guess yourself when you try to choose between them.
    ** It isn't like Ellie knows what Abby has been through..... BUT you as the player do know! Which, however you phrase it, places you in a position where you start second guessing who you're going to root for.
    ** So the decision was made for you by the creator, a shallow flashback was the reason to stop Ellie ending Abby.
    ** So it's not your decision ** They creator spared both his characters ** You are then left with no resolution and feeling frustrated ** You were railroaded and none of the things you did in the game actually mattered ** Lead through an emotionally charged story with no resolution But the game sure is pretty though.    … Expand

If you're bombing the game because you're angry and haven't finished the game, I implore you to continue and see the storyline out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From trailers we were promised Joel and Ellie. While I understand that both Neil Druckmann and Anita wanted for the game to have a strong feminist agenda, killing the John Wick character of your game AT THE START ain't it, Chief.

    Abby would've been likeable if they build up her badass motif then have her kill Joel at the end. That way, the players wouldn't feel like dropping the game from the first two hours. Besides, why, why one earth did our 50 yrld man-- probably in his 60s now, died when he was a fantastic survivor of the first game. You can't just say "oh he mellowed out", ask veterans, they still have their instincts. I love the gameplay. I like the graphics. Kuddos to them. I appreciate how they ttied to include more of the minority. I just wish they presented the story in a more jawdropping way. I actually would love the stoey and the theme of forgiveness if it was presented better, just a few tweaks would've made the game a masterpiece Anyways, still love Ellie. I wish they gave Joel a proper death.    … 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.
