    You either love it or hate it.

    At first i was mad, not because the game was bad or something. I was mad because it hurts me and made me feel things i never felt before... And yes i played it 2 times just to make sure that i was feeling that stuff.. and man this game is heavy and so powerful. I understand why some people hate it and that's happened because this game isn't it for    You either love it or hate it.

So we do our best to judge the experience due to the amount of information we are given. TLOU 2 could not have been more Clear. It’s a Revenge story. TLOU pt1 was a story searching for an answer that we never got. “Is Ellie Truly the cure to mankind?” You are left questioning yourself if what you did as Joel was absolutely 100% all worth it. I guess we will never know now. TLOU 2, things we can all agree on. Mechanically the game works well nothing revolutionary but it works. The game looks good we expected that. I mean we are at the end of the PS4’s life line. Musically, sound, & audio etc....of course it sounds great as it should. Story...well...now here’s something that we disagree on. It all depends on your quest. 4yrs have gone by & that’s a long time. Lots have happened in the world since we last saw Joel & Ellie. In an instant the entire plot of TLOU pt1 goes down the drain because of a character seeking revenge. Immediately it leaves the player thinking WTF just happened?! If NaughtyDogs purpose was to create a part in a game. To go down as the most upsetting Scene to ever be written in video game history. They just won the award for that! Congratulations NaughtyDog! Put yourself in Abbys shoes for one second. I wonder how many Abbys exist in the world of TLOU. Maybe the world was filled with Abby’s since the very beginning. We didn’t see that because we were so concern on hoping that we would find a cure. If you play as Abby and you can relate & sympathize for this Character. In your quest this is who you are in the world of TLOU. I think most of us were seeking and still searching for answers. That’s the Quest that we were hoping for. RIP Joel, we still don’t fully understand WHY.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 wasn’t the game everyone wanted, but to me it pushed boundaries by evoking so many hard to swallow aspects of The Last Of Us world. It’s a masterpiece.

    I loved how this story was constantly changing my perspective on things. It went from “what is going on with you Ellie? Give Joel a break” to “go **** them up Ellie” to “I really don’t want either of these characters to die”. By the end, I was struggling to mash the square button to kill Abby, wincing as the animations are playing out. Some parts were hard to watch, but that was the point.

    The level design was outstanding. The attention to detail in each environment was amazing and the set pieces were varied and interesting. The visuals were top notch and the animations were next level. All the intricate facial expressions to the little hand movements, again the attention to detail was insane. Can't wait to see how it runs on the PS5.

    Now Im off to play it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS*
    This game is a perfect example of destroying a whole universe and your reputation. Let's cut to the chase.
    Joel's death, the way it happened. It's ok to kill a main character. But the way you do that and curcustances ARE important. That scene wasn't even horrible/shocking/whatever devs wanted to show us, it was pathetic. Why did you do that? Just to shock the audience? Well, killing a main character does not make you a great writer. To give Ellie motivation so story can go further? But the revenge didn't happen. So what's the point? Kick off the MAIN character at the very beginning like he is nothing. Like he is not even secondary character - devs represent him as tertiary character. Even secondary characters in video games (the first game, for example) have much more respect to them. I still can't believe this happened. The way you did that is such a disrespect to a character and story at all.
    Playing as Abby half of the game. Really? This game is ALL about Joel and Ellie, so why should player even play as her HALF of the time? No one even cares about her. Especially if this character beat a beloved character to death. And then, devs wanted us to sympathize her? It's pretty stupid.
    The ending. The ending is the worst I've ever seen in my life. Just imagine - Abby has beaten Joel to death. Ellie chased her down. To forgive her. Wow, how? What was the point? To prove revenge is bad? And now Ellie has nothing. I'm just speechless.
    Marketing. You showed the audience the scene with Joel in one of the trailers. And then you replace him with secondary character? Really? "Subvert expectations"?
    The hate about the game. Go to reddit/youtube/twitch if you want to know the real reason why all the people are upset about the game. The REAL reviews. Don't developers even see the REAL situation, the real failure? Such a spit to the original game. You wanted a strong woman? You had one in your own game - her name was Tess. Another one? Boom - Marlene. Now people hate feminism and anything related to it even more. Even LGBTQ+ community downvoted this game because of wrong representations. Everyone is losing with this game. Devs, players, LGBTQ+ community, females, males, black people, white - everyone.
    This game is called "The Last Of Us Part II", right? Then, it is supposed to be about the same characters, story, right? Because it has "Part II" it the title. But no. The only few things that have something in general with the first game are - title, flashbacks. That is all. It is not even close to the first one.
    The only reason why I don't put 0/10 is the graphics and the environment design. That is all. That is the only good thing that I can say about this game - "It just looks pretty". Anything else is just as bad as it could be and even worse. Oh, flashbacks are pretty good. I have never seen in my entire life such a disrespect, lazyness and luck of ideas. You must be either lazy or don't even care about your own game. Or both.
    I had been waiting for this game for 4 years. Someone had been waiting for even 7 years. And at the end we did get this. Can you even imagine?    … Expand

    Massively disappointing after such a long wait and so many promises. All the beautiful rendering, excellent voice acting and epic size of the game counts for nothing as the writing has created a revolting small minded and incompetent description of what people are. Naughty Dog appear to have got what they wanted, the game is no fun at all.

    I created an account just for this. What in the absolute hell did they think they were doing? Just trying to be edgy? I dont care but it was terrible in every way, especially the last couple chapters of the story. I will give it a 1 for great graphics and gameplay. Honestly though just wish I wouldn't have ever played it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Честно, игра не 10/10 , но уж точно и никак не 0/10. В ней есть проблемы в плане затянутого геймплея , непонятных сюжетных ходов и другово. Но в целом игра замечательная. Но основной хейт к игре ( но не весь. Конечно, в игре есть и обьективные проблемы ) связан с двумя сюжетными ходами: смертью Джоэла в начале и с тем, что в середине игры мы начинаем играть за Эбби. Но если кому-то захотелось поиграть в игру, где мы снова за Джоэла и Элли в команде проходим сложные жизненные препятсвия, можете переиграть в первую часть. Это же новая игра, с абсолютно другой историей. На счет игры за Эбби, это же было сделано как раз для того, чтобы обьяснить мотивацию персонажа и , понятное дело, заставить нам ему сопереживать. Ясное дело, что как только нам дают управление за нее, мы относимся к ней крайне негативно и думаем что ни в коем случае не будем ей переживать. И по-моему многие кто говорят про то, что их разочаровало, что игроку дают управление за Эбби, просто не прошли игру до конца. Конечно можно не начать ей сопереживать, но уж хотя бы перестать ее ненавидеть, отчего концовка уже и не кажется такой нелогичной.
    И может бы и стоило добавить в конце возможность выбора, но тогда бы потерялась сама суть самой игры: last of us это как фильм, где мы проживаем моменты жизни вместе с героями и налаживаем с ними тесную эмоциональную связь, наблюдая за всеми их действиями и принимая их.
    Мне же игра вполне понравилась, хотя там и есть понятные проблемы, ввиде затянутости геймплея , слишком невнятных смертях , которые ты толком не успеваешь осознать и в других вещах. Но так же в ней есть и множество хороших вещей. Игра явно запомнится мне на долгое время, оставив после себя определенные эмоции и мысли, на счет которых начинаешь задумываться.    … Expand

    My favorite game ever, this will be the game of the decade if a top contender, the story is very well plotted, to get the feeling of playing as abby who i once hated because of what she did to Joel, they made her reasons justified. And the story of ellie is heartbreaking and makes what this story great. 10/10 would recommend anybody play

    First 1/3rd was amazing. Couldn't leave the game because I was so wrapped up in the storyline. 2nd third became slightly monotonous but was important for character development. Third third of the game was edge of the seat storyline again. Couldn't wait to see how it finished and wrapped it all off.

    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]
