    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the game from the graphics to the gameplay and even the story. It had rough parts and I can see why people are hating on the game’s story (making you play as the killer of our favourite character). But despite that, I really enjoyed the game.… Expand

    No es tan malo como todos dicen y para aquellos que le dan una mala puntuación solo por la muerte de Joel y no has jugado el juego quita tu opinión solo haces que las personas lo odien o que la gente ya no quiera comprarlo, la verdad lo recomiendo el juego es bastante bueno y no me considero un fan solo lo jugué porque mi papa es fan.

    Playing this game after all the hype has died down, i can say that the last of us 2 is a good game. The combat is fun and the atmosphere and exploration is phenomenal.

As for the story it has some interesting design choices, but it never bothered me. i have never seen or played as anyone like abby or ellie in a video game before. Honestly i liked the strange hyper-woke storyline, it felt foreign and refreshing to me, and not something i have seen before. I am glad naughty dog didn't bend to the trolls and had the balls to pursue their genuine creative vision, even if that vision was a strange story about an excessively buff lady fighting a lesbian in the zombie apocalypse. What can i say, i liked it and thought it was an extremely interesting, albeit kindof strange game with fantastic production values and fun gameplay.… Expand

    Superb game with excellent gameplay, which surprisingly was even better than the first instalment. Graphics are awesome. Storyline is great, although I wanted to play the part of Joel more - having been through part I all the way with him. My only gripe was that I wanted Ellie to beat the hell out of Abby, but I couldn't advance the storyline when this happened!

После полного прохождения игры могу вам с уверенностью сказать игра стоит своих 4.499₽ стандартное издание !

    На втором часу игры убивают главного антганиста первой части ! Это уму не постежимо ! Как можно было убить Джоэла ,до сей поры не понимаю ! Да ещё половину игры мы играем за какую то перекаченую бабу по имени Эбби! Ладно с меня хватит ...    … Expand

    Last of us 2 has one of the best gameplay mechanics, level design and atmosphere in any game I've played in recent years. When you play it, you will just feel it like it is real. The thrill, the action, the survival! Everyhing is there.

There is was this one part when I should feel sad when something happened to a character I loved, but game progressed so fast that I even didnt have second for it. And the memory of the character got dumped.

    Great experience, but scenario isn’t so good, as i wanted to. Gameplay is good, but in the end become pretty boring, so i was playing just to see the ending. Quality of the game is on very high level, but i got less emotions, that i wanted to

    "The Last Of Us part 2" is a powerful and a depressing game in all the right ways.
    The amount of hate this game is getting is really silly at this point, I get that people don't like some writing decisions in this sequel, but there's no reason to trash the game because of it, they made some bold choices, and it all worked for me.

    The Last of Us Part II takes an unconventional narrative approach, compared to its predecessor. It takes some unexpected turns, so it is best experienced without spoilers. The player is not intended to like many of the game’s events, and this is used to drive the story forward.

It takes some unexpected turns, so it is best experienced without spoilers. The player is not intended to like many of the game’s events, and this is used to drive the story forward.

    The parallelism, intertwined with the cinematographic techniques Naughty Dog uses to deepen its commentary on themes such as revenge, guilt, violence, and forgiveness are groundbreaking, and the utilization of these techniques helps the game reach a high bar of nuance and complexity, rendering it worthy of analysis. The game’s great writing and direction are supplemented by the performances of the main cast to really make the game come to life, and the soundtrack greatly amplifies the game’s emotional impact. Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey’s superb performances as Ellie and Abby, respectively, are also enhanced by Naughty Dog’s technical achievement in fluid facial animation. From a technical perspective, TLOU2 is irrefutably a masterpiece.

    The gameplay feels realistic due to the game’s great animation and realistic enemy AI, and if the game were shorter, I feel that the gameplay would not have grown somewhat stale by the end. As a whole, I felt poor pacing sometimes bogged down an otherwise great narratively driven experience.

    Without spoiling anything, there were a few, rare moments that didn’t land well for me in the narrative, but for the most part these moments were necessary evils in delivering this kind of story. I also wish some of the new cast of characters were more fully fleshed out. These complaints, however, are minor in the context of a game that otherwise blew me away, and risk-taking should be encouraged in any medium.    … Expand

    This is really a love and hate game. Good storytelling, but you don't want to ever go back a play the it again...and in that way it fails.

    what a great game. i personally dont think it deserved game of the year but i digress. it needed to explain itself in a few parts. and i have a weird feeling that this wasnt the original storyline they had planned. more like they catered to the sensitive/"woke" crowd

    I honestly don't know why the fan base is so negative about this game. It has good graphics, good story, good everything. I'm confused why they hate it so much. Sure it had backlash due to many delays, but I didn't expect it to be this much when the game released.

Some of characters dies too suddenly. Music as good as can be. I also didn't understand the ending when Elly let Abby to go. As for me it was too taut and vague. Of course it was made to continue story but c'mon. Also want to say that without lgbt propaganda the game can be much better because transgender kid - the last thing I want to see in serious story. But at all game is very good. Highly recommended to play immediately… Expand

É um ótimo jogo, não tão bom quanto o primeiro mas é excelente, a história é mais fraca e eu também acho que a Naughty Dog foi desleal com os fãs nós trailers mostrado que o Joel participaria da jornada novamente, mas morre de uma forma que nenhum fã aceita, pois não é o Joel ali, e o jogo ainda te força a jogar com a assassina dele por aproximadamente 9 horas, e o final é um pouco decepcionante. Mas é inegável o ato que eles alcançaram outro nível em expressões faciais, gameplay e gráficos. Tirando a maior parte da história, é sim um dos melhores games disponível pro Play4… Expand

I may be wrong, im not a professional reviewer or anything. But yeah, this is my opinion. I think it really deserve GOTY. Remember the leak? That a lot of people got spoiled from? Yeah, i remembered that, I also got spoiled at that time. To me, the story is better in Tlou1 but the combat is better in Tlou2. Thats all form me, soryy if my english was bad.

    Gameplay:
    One of -- if not the -- best gameplay experiences I've ever had. I enjoy games pretty casually; rarely getting too absorbed in them. It's unusual for me to think about a game outside of when playing it. However, with The Last of Us Pt. II, I woke up every day anxious to start playing and was happy to spend all my free time with it. It stayed with me when not playing it perhaps more than any game before it (besides CoD when I was a teenager...).

    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]
