    I truthfully believe this game is getting way too much hate. I mean people are giving this game 0s and 1s?! Cmon now. This game is arguably one of the best survival games I’ve ever played. Yes I will admit naughty dog did have a very controversial story that upset a lot of fans but I don’t think this should distract people from the several positives of the game.

For example naughty dog implements a open world aspect of the game which works absolutely flawlessly. Exploration will lead you to finding various upgrades , weapons, collectibles, and cutscenes that give you some more background regarding the story. The gun mechanics also work really well as well. While the story could’ve been better, people should also make sure to recognize the hard work and several advancements that naughty dog made in regard to this game.… Expand

    Долгожданный проект от Naughty Dog. Игра революция в техническом плане. Революция в плане проработке деталей. Ещё не было игры, где настолько бы уделялось внимания деталям. Единственная игра, которая по своему качеству, стоит рядом с RDR2.
    Сюжет рассказывает нам о мести. А чему нас научил Артур Морган? «Месть-забава для недоумков». Сюжет учит нас тому, что не стоит обезличивать людей.    Долгожданный проект от Naughty Dog.

    Нил Дракманн сделал то, чего от него никто не ждал, то за что фанаты первой части его будут недолюбливать. В сюжетном плане он сделал эксперимент, который не всякий игрок способен понять. «Хороший антагонист это протагонист собственной истории.»
    TLOU2 – это не просто игра. Это философия. Такие игры выходят один раз в десять лет. Надеюсь, планка игр от Naughty Dog никогда не упадёт.    … Expand

Ellie is a great protagonist, the supporting characters are great. The UI is great, the action is fun. The puzzles are great. The cutscenes are amazing. It's a shame we live in a world where people leak information without context and others are review bombing the game for what seems to be no apparent reason. I am so glad I bought it and would do so again. I am definitely planning on a new game plus run through.    … Expand

    A shocking disaster. Paying no respect to the first game, Last of Us Part 2 progresses the series in an offshoot direction, with a message completely opposite to that of the original—failing to justify its name as a "part 2" to the story.

Paying no respect to the first game, Last of Us Part 2 progresses the series in an offshoot direction, with a message completely opposite to that of the original—failing to justify its name as a "part 2" to the story. While the gameplay remains fine and the graphics top notch, the unbelievably and at times laughably bad storyline makes The Last of Us Part 2 a game to remember for all the wrong reasons.

    Firstly, the good. The graphics are among the best we’ve seen out of the ps4. A true spectacle from start to finish, the 3D modeling work, animation, voice acting, and production value in general are all fantastic. The gameplay is… fine. If you liked the first game’s gameplay you will like the gameplay here, but likely not very much more if at all. The game barely progresses its gameplay in any meaningful way. The jump button is pathetic. The aiming is stiff. The melee combat is an improvement with the dodge mechanic, but it remains a button smashing contest now with one added button, the dodge button. The dodge mechanic can be readily abused and enemies can regularly be ran past all together. So that’s the good, on to the terrible: the story.

    Every character acts unlike themselves. From Joel to Ellie, the cast you used to love has been abhorrently butchered. Joel and Tommy have been watered down to bumbling idiots and Ellie has become an unlikeable mess. Character motivation goes out the window as the writers of this game seem to think everybody playing are complete idiots.

    Violence is wrong. Violence is bad. Yes, we get it. We got that in kindergarten. At no point does the game push itself to give the player choice, at no point do the writers ask themselves is this worth throwing away the meaning of the first game. Ellie, a hollow shell of her former self following the early events of the game, no longer provides the regular comedic and energetic flair she provided from the first game. Fine, character development right! Well who's going to provide the levity? Nobody! Life sucks! That's what the writers will say, oh so smugly. Everybody you meet is slated to be awful or be killed. And the writers will revel in the kills that they force you to play. How many dogs are you ready to kill! We made the enemies scream extra-long so you really get that violence is bad. After all, revenge sucks... right?

    No! Says the fanbase! How could you possibly think anybody would want to play as Abby? After the things she does, there is no redemption. The writers seem to have failed to realize that we, the player, have played 20 hours as Joel. We understand him, and we understand the situation. We also understand that this is a sequel, 7 years after the original--Joel was obviously going to end up here. But like this? At the hands of an npc who not even Joel remembers? Right at the beginning of the game? You don’t even get to play as Joel for more than 10 minutes. False advertising could be argued! Be warned reader, you play half the game not as Joel or Ellie! But as somebody who was in none of the promotional material or trailers--somebody who you will come to hate so bitterly within the first moments you meet her. Abby will go down in history as one of gaming’s biggest **** ups.
    The shame is that in a vacuum, the Abby section could have been a good spinoff Last of Us game. I suspect somewhere in the tumultuous 7 yearlong development that this may have been the case. But as it stands, sandwiched between the horrors that are the beginning and end--Abby, like Joel and Ellie, has been ruined.

    The ending will leave players shocked that they wasted so much of their time and hard-earned money. But hey, now we know that revenge is wrong, right? We now know the difference between responsibility, peace, and accountability! We now know what real pain looks like! What it means to be human!

    1/10 on metacritic since there are way too many people who have not played the game giving the game a 10. The real score is a 6/10 or 7/10 for me. Anyone who says 10 is blatantly ignoring not only the flaws in story, but also the mediocre gameplay that has barely progressed from the first game. A 10/10 gameplay experience should really push a genre and set a bar in some respect. Does this game have any stealth ideas that push the genre past where it already was? No. How about the third person shooting? The platforming? The puzzles (the handful that there were)? Nope. If you really enjoyed the gameplay that is fine, but none of it sets any kind of bar. The only bar this game definitively sets is in presentation and acting.    … Expand

This game deserves to be fully played before making assumptions off the leaks I also didn’t think I was going to enjoy the games but I had already pre ordered it so I played it when I played as Abby I almost stopped playing I was so mad at naughty dog Bc they forced me to play as Abby but as I played as I saw what her back story was and how she was affiliated with Joel it’s makes you question who is the good guy and who is the bad guy and the answer is no one is it’s a story about humans who seek revenge but find regret and loss and deserves to be played for the amazing gameplay and story that could’ve been told differently chronologically then being split in two different stories that jumble up but it’s still a great story with beautiful scenery and with a story that will have you remember it for a long time… Expand

Now, i already beat it, and i can say that is the most emotional and breathtaking game of this damn world. Indeed, it doesn't start in the best way, but the developing of the story is just amazing.

    [SPOILER FREE REVIEW]
    The game's story is indecisive at large, a lot of people love it, a lot of others hate it.
    The intro of the game is by far one of the most amazing entry's in video game history that I've seen with the amazing cinematography which seems to be inspired by Hideo Kojima's famous MGS5 one-shot cut scenes.

    The story itself is all about revenge, it's dark.
    The game isn't meant for everyone, the story it entails is dark and heartbreaking.
    There are some character deaths which has sparked controversy, which I myself personally found amazing as I filled up with hatred to continue the rest of the game.

    Personally, I love the story, but even if we take away the entire story and just focus on the game play, I would give the game a 7/10. The game on Survival is BRUTAL, It's exciting and makes you come up with hundreds of new ways to play the game. If you see a user score of 0/10 or 1/10, you should best leave it ignored, the amount of graphical achievements, art direction, game play, animations, they're way beyond anything I've seen in gaming.

    This game has surely surpassed technical leaps, to give it such a low score is disgraceful.
    While I do think the first game is better than the second one story wise, overall my experience in Part 2 was a lot more fun due to it's flashed out mechanics.

    This story is all about moral choices in a world that is cruel and you should ask yourself....Would you personally end the cycle of revenge?

    Just cause the game has characters that you love, doesn't mean they're safe, nor should they be perfect as people want them to be, and that's the beauty of this game, it's real and raw with emotion.

    It's a masterpiece for me, not meant for everyone.    … Expand

Yes, Tommy becomes a cripple and Ellie never gets the chance to forgive Joel as she wanted to try. But that’s a bit like life, a rollercoaster of emotions and conflict. I was conflicted when Abby was bashing and wanted to kill Ellie, I was in controller until I wasn’t, I wanted it to stop, but I felt the same when Ellie finally went for her final revenge. Lots of lovable characters died, I like Manny too! And Owen was alright. But that shows you how unforgiving this world is. Maybe Abby’s and Ellie being able to let go set path for something greater.… Expand

    The game deserves its attention, it’s a pity for those young people who, most likely because of the aggressive mood towards the LGBT community or other incomprehensible moments, could not enjoy the game itself.

    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.
