    "Everything is better than Part 1"
    Especially in story Part 1 was a bit cliché, but Part 2 was fresh.

    Excellent continuation of the first game, highly recommend! While I wish a couple segments of the story went differently, I was still very impressed with it overall. The message and themes of the game were very thought provoking. Would highly recommend!

    This game is awesome, don't let the negativity of others ruin what is an amazing work of art. Naughty Dog outdid themselves on this one. The attention to detail and story telling are second to none.

    A game with a generic concept (a zombie apocalipse) and a generic gameplay (pretty much borrowed from Uncharted) cannot kill what made it outstanding, which was the relationship between Ellie and Joel.

    What a banger! Plot instantly got me, getting revenge was priority for me after the first 2 hours. Graphics is insane, even on normal PS4. Love it!

    6 hours into this trash of a story. Already feeling disgusted. The game looks amazing and gameplay is brilliant. Giving 1 star for that. Else what they have done to the story is despicable. People like Neil should not be allowed so much power to destroy amazing characters like this. What a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't planning on writing a review for this game but 10/10 reviews are so dishonest that I had to write one.
    This game is not as awful as many people say but that's only due to the action scenes, the story is absolute crap and they basically took a huge dump on the first one (which I loved).
    Firstly, what's good in the game?
    - Action scenes: They are numerous and awesome (most of them are at least, I am not a big fan of the infected scenes)
    - Attention to detail: This is obvious, they really did pay a lot of attention to the details, love the guns, love the bows, love how the glass cracks when you step on it...etc.
    - Songs/Music: The guitar stuff is awesome, I liked playing the guitar in the game
    So what's wrong with it?
    - Characters: Ellie is an awesome character and so is Joel but that's not because of this game but the previous one. The other characters are trash, I am sorry to say. Ellie's gf is a non-character, I'm not sure what Ellie likes about her. She's not funny, not interesting, not cool. Almost the same goes for Jesse. However, the worst is Abby. Why am I forced to play almost half the game as Abby when my first encounter with her is when Joel and Tommy save her and she kills Joel. I don't really care about him being killed, it's a part of stories, the mentor character usually dies to give the chance for the mentored the chance to grow and deal with stuff alone, that's fine. I did not feel any connection to Abby at all, the gameplay was exciting but that's it, I kinda wanted her to die all along. I get the story, I get that Joel killed her father but and that this was a revenge mission for her but why force the player to play with her without giving enough playtime where the player can connect to the character? All the other characters are absolute trash and not even worth the time to write about them.
    - Conversations: Sometimes they seem to be forced, they really tried to make them sound "genuine" but in some places they just fail: the Sherlock joke, the craving it part stand out to me as too forced.
    Overall: Don't buy it now, only when it's cheaper. The gameplay is fun but the story is trash, definitely not one of the greatest ever.    … Expand

    This game leaves a pain in the heart, especially when it is said and done. It never goes the way that you want it to go or you would think it would go. Every character in the game has his own motives, drives and also demons that fights inside. The game does a great job puting you in the shoes of these characters and somehow justify their actions as brutal as they may seem.

The game does a great job puting you in the shoes of these characters and somehow justify their actions as brutal as they may seem. At first i was really sceptical of the way Naughty Dog decided to go with the story, but when i finished it, I had no doubt in my mind that they did an extraordinary job. The epilogue of the story was the part that made it in my mind one of the greatest games i have ever played. It really closed very well a cycle of revenge and also actions that had no turning back, to the point that makes you wonder how did we come to this and was this vengeance really worth it after all? But just as real life you just have to look forward and live with them.… Expand

    Пожалуй это самое большое разочарование за всю историю игровой индустрии, ждали 7 лет чтобы получить плевок в лицо и дело не в завышенных ожиданиях, а в том что игру натурально слили сценаристы, мне очень жаль людей, которые работали над локациями, лицевой анимацией, звуками и многим другим, эти люди заслуживают наивысших похвал, но все их старания разбиваются о безнадежно тупой сюжет.Пожалуй это самое большое разочарование за всю историю игровой индустрии, ждали 7 лет чтобы получить плевок в лицо и дело не в завышенных ожиданиях, а в том что игру натурально слили сценаристы, мне очень жаль людей, которые работали над локациями, лицевой анимацией, звуками и многим другим, эти люди заслуживают наивысших похвал, но все их старания разбиваются о безнадежно тупой сюжет. Геймплей не претерпел больших изменений, это все та же игра, только стала она больше походить на анчартед 4 своей однообразной рутиной. Единственное хорошее в этой игре это флешбэки из прошлого, после которых ты вновь возвращаешься в игру, которую буквально заставляешь себя допройти. ЛГБТ есть и его стало сильно больше по сравнению с первой частью и если раньше это не мешало и выглядело органично, то сейчас это вставляют просто чтобы было. Геи, лесбиянки, феминистки, трансгендеры и тому подобный цирк на колесах будет сопровождать вас всю игру. Напарники могли бы вообще не добавляться в игру, смотрятся совершенно не к месту, никакого интереса к ним вы не будете испытывать, когда Элли начинает ходить одна, вы вздыхаете с облегчением.… Expand

    And 1 just for visuals. Other then that this game is not Last of us part 2. Don't know even what this is. Virtue signaling for media's approval. Characters destroyed. Who created this did they even play the first part? Easily the worst game of the decade and most disappointing game of all time

    Bought game, played for 2 hours, watched the rest of the game on youtube in hope that somehow they will cleanup this mess from the beginning.

    It's such huge dissapointment and disaster. The story feels unnatural as same way as the last season of Game of Thrones. Why ? Why didn't you publish it with different title.

    There is zero creditability now for Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On the technical site the game really shines, everything looks amazing, the acting, the emotions, voiceacting everything is brilliant. 10/10 for me. I got to say it kinda felt like Uncharted 4 with TLoU skin, gameplay wise, which in my opinion is not a bad thing as I loved Uncharted 4.

    Storywise and this is only my personal opinion and I'm happy for everyone who got what they wanted out of the game and the story. We knew the second game will be really dark and I looked forward to this.

    We even knew that Joel would probably not make it and that he would go out one way or the other.. For me personally Joel was my character, I really loved him in the first game and while he may not always made the right decisions, I as a player could still stand behind him because we knew why he did what he did. In the second part we now get to see that some decisions have really harsh consequences.

    I generally like revenge plots in games and in movies but I really did not like the way they tried to play it out in this game. Maybe if we would have gotten more time with Joel & Ellie together, how they developed in the years we haven't seen them and then get to know Abby, her struggles, her story of revenge etc. before she gets her chance to complete her revenge it would have resonated better with me.

    Playing as Abby after she killed Joel made it hard for me to continue and the end didn't do it for me. I think with a better order of events the same game could have been much more enjoyable. I really tried to feel bad for Abby but in the end she was still the one who killed the character I cared the most about. The story had great moments and I don't want to spoil to much but I think this game is still worth a playthrough. Maybe with knowing what I know now I wouldn't pay full release price but it is what it is.

    Ending the game left me feeling empty and unsatisfied, maybe that is what they wanted to archive but honestly I'm not looking forward for a third part.

    I would love to give this game a 10/10 but I just can't. I love ND and I see where they wanted to go with this but it just isn't for me, and that is Ok. I think for anyone that is not as invested with Joels Character as I am the game will be amazing. That's why I give it a 6/10 but remember for you this game could be a 10/10 so play it, in the end it's just a game and it is not on us to decide which directions the creators want to go.

    On a side note, I really have to disagree with people saying that they pushed some kind of agenda in this game. It didn't feel forced and I think it fits the way the game is designed. Sex scenes are normal in 18+ series/movies and shows a side that is often dismissed in storydriven games.    … 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]
