    Великолепная игра. Достойное продолжение 1-й части. Совершенно не понимаю хейта к этой игре, сначала пройдите, потом критикуйте! История очень интересная, графика, окружение, проработка мелких деталей выше всякий похвал. Игра очень длинная, ощущение, что прошёл игру, 2 dlc, ещё и фильм посмотрел) В общем всем советую, не слушайте других, если понравилась 1-я часть, то смело берите эту,Великолепная игра.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay let me explain. The graphics of this game are BEAUTIFUL!! So much attention to detail the scenery is breathtaking and don’t get me started on the infected. The newest infected are cool yes but the stalkers!! Oh man those things are going to give me nightmares...they scare the living crap out of me!! BUT to where it fails...THE STORY!!! It was a MASSIVE disrespect to the fans! Yes we expected for Joel to die BUT NOT LIKE THAT AND RIGHT AWAY!! And the ending...okay okay I did feel bad for Abby at first because she was basically tortured and I KINDA...that a really WEAK KINDA felt bad for her...BUT...SHE NEEDED TO DIE!!!! The story, the writing, the characters ALL GARBAGE!! Sorry Naughty Dog you disappointed so man fans with...THIS. But like I said graphics were amazing, the infected SCARY AS HELL thank you For that… Expand

    Never usually post reviews but I feel the amount of hate this game is getting is unfair.

    I loved the game from start to finish with the gameplay and story keeping me hooked along with how amazing the game looks. Very well written and acted, I felt so immersed within the game throughout and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Very, very good game. It’s a shame of the reception it has achieved.

    What an emotional rollercoaster ride. The story perfectly displays raw emotion in it's most primal form. The characters were all stellar. If you were expecting a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

    The game graphics is awesome, gameplay is awesome, but the story is garbage. Lazy writing, and the characters seems like they are not from the first Last of Us game. Joel being non-cautious is bullcrap. other characters are forgetable, and that big arm lady is bullcrap, how can you gain those muscles on women on post apocalyptic world? is she a cannibal?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. in Ellie's song 'Through the valley' she repeats : "No I can't walk. On the path of the right. 'Cause I'm wrong."

    Naughty dog didn't chose an easy path, to please the player, but never in a game before i loved to disagree with what I was doing with my character, but I was driven by a story, like Moby Dick somehow, and not with the feelings of the game giving fake choices.
    They succeed what Walking Dead series tried to (last seasons at least), making disturbed characters that you can relate to, empathize to, never characters animation felt so alive, with great acting. Even Seattle has a story, visually.
    If the game isn't about Joël that much, TLOU 1 was more about Ellie at the end of the day (remember that we skipped 20 years of Joël's life). And now we face collateral damages her life (saved) engendered, literally in the skin of protagonists, which might be disturbing, but also exciting.
    It definitively not deserve a **** note because you wanted a story you expected .
    Now about the gameplay, to make short, the violence makes it so reel, it almost hurt when you get shot, I found it more immersive than many FPS. I'd wish a better menu though, Days gone was more intuitive with weapons. But hey, i didn't give a 10 :)
    And visually, it's stunning.
    A must have, if you are not bother to feel uncomfortable by the experience.

Part 1 was a masterpiece with it's character creation, development, and interaction with one another, I don't understand why they abandoned that process which clearly worked. If you never played part 1 then I can imagine none of this would be an issue but for those who have, it is clearly an issue.… Expand

El videojuego como tal es muy bueno, graficos excelentes, animaciones de 10, detalles soberbios y por estar pulido sin bugs todo bien hasta ahi pero no llega al 10 por los malos momentos de la historia por el relleno innecesario de gameplay con Abby y por tocar temas como la homosexualidad de Ellie y escenas de sexo que no eran necesarias, por matar a Joel de una manera ridícula, tonta y cruel, por mostrar a Joel como personaje jugable cuando en realidad no se se juega con El, por querer que empatize con Abby durante 10 horas a mas y no lograrlo y por el final que es un despropósito a las 30 horas de juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe The Last Of Us Part II to be an amazing game , not just due to gameplay, which has been improved since the first game, but story-wise as well. Many people are upset about Joel's death, and the fact that ten hours is spent playing as Abby, but I believe this adds character growth, and shows that the game will not be pulling it's punches. It tells a dark story, set in a dark time, and shows that not everyone can have the happy ending they deserve. In terms of gameplay, imagine the first game, with more involved melee combat(being able to dodge, for example) and more crafting recipes available. The games stays fresh when switching characters, due to different weapons, different allies, different character abilities, and different melee combat. The difficulty settings allo each person to make the game's difficulty to their taste, allowing AI to be smarter or dumber, resource availability, player damage received and dealt, even the friendly AI can be modified to be more aggressive or passive. There are afew minor visual bugs I encountered, but they were easily fixed, but that is the only fault I encountered, and why I rate this game a 9.8 out of 10.… Expand

However, these qualities don't outshine the bads of this game, since The Last of Us is focused on the story and the characters. The story doesn't progress in a natural way, the manipulation of the events by the writer is blatantly obvious. In that sense, the characters are often forced to do things that are out of character or simply incoherent just so the story can be driven to the writer's desired direction. Aside from Ellie, Joel and Tommy, the characters weren't duly explored, which made me think "if they die now, I don't care" a lot. The message about revenge was also poorly conveyed, mainly because, once again, the story feels very artificial. Another bad aspect is the length. 20+ hours is too much for a first play in a game like this. It's unnecessarily dragged where it doesn't need to be. All in all, I wouldn't recommend.… Expand

    Gameplay wise it added some interesting mechanics which allow stealth to be a more viable option, however the loot and shoot method still works a charm.

    Enemy design was great, with some new introductions and reworks.
    In the case of the infected, the way the different enemy types worked together was awesome, something that last of us 1 was missing.
    The introduction of different factions gave the human AI a breath of fresh air,with different factions having a different amount of aggression and tactics.

    Visually the game looks amazing, there is no arguing that, another Naughty Dog masterpiece.

    The music even during gameplay fits every scene perfectly, from darks sewers and apartments to populated streets, the music is ace.
    Love the little guitar set pieces during gameplay too.

    From a story perspective, Naughty Dog built another interesting world, that I thoroughly wanted to explore.
    While many players are not fans of a particular part in the story, this series it not 'happily ever after World', but one of suffering and growth and I think part 2 develops on this in a interesting way.

    Overall I really liked the way the story progresses and while I do have some questions about certain characters development, the overall cohesion of the characters works well.

    Thanks for another awesome story ND.    … Expand

    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.
