    Игра просто шикарная, не понимаю почему в нее летит столько хейта. Физика крутая, сюжет просто супер, сохранял интригу до конца, жаль джоэла с Эли конечно, но джоэл плохой персонаж, он погубил надежду человечества.

    While I can see why some smooth-brained people don't understand the story this game is trying to convey, I personally love the game. The gameplay is excellent, the upgrade mechanics for the guns and the characters are top-notch, and the story is a tragic tale told in a tragic world, just because Joel didn't go out in heroic glory for "saving" Ellie, everyone is review-bombing the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never been more disappointed with a game in my life. Terrible story, boring repetitive gameplay throughout the whole game, terribly written script, terribly awkward sex scene/confusing love interests, horrendous character progression (the game actually makes you dislike your once favourite character, Ellie), one of, if not the WORST ways to kill off Joel, showed zero respect to the fans and the character, one of the worst and most disappointing endings, lack of gun and melee choices, absurd violence and an unnecessary amount of killing dogs, a weird and very draining attempt to make the player feel guilty when playing as Abby, also an idiotic event where you tell Tommy you won’t help him find Abby (seemingly ruining their relationship) just to eventually go looking for her and then finally returning home to see Dina and the kid gone with Ellie left absolutely all alone.… Expand

    Pior história que já tive o desprazer de ver em um game, nenhum sentido, personagens péssimos e mal escritos, narrativa exaustiva e chata, diálogos horríveis, se pudesse voltar no tempo jamais teria gasto tempo e dinheiro jogando este jogo horrível.

    Gameplay is fantastic but the main part is the story and the story is bad as hell. Boring new characters, old characters acting stupid and the ending is not f* satisfying when you are going on a revenge trip. I hope Ellie died at the End of this Game. Thank you Neil Druckman and Hailey Gross for destroying a game this was once good... In Germany we would say:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a masterpiece. if you liked Part I you MUST play Part II. Although, the story isn't obviously as amazing as the first, it is waaaaay darker and scary. What set me off was the character change halfway through. What I thought was just going to be me controlling Abby as a filler for the story (like in the beginning) turned out to be half of the game. I really hated it at first because I hate this character, but it actually ended up being very enjoyable.

    I understand what people are saying that it sucks that Joel was killed off in the starting hour of the game. But, if that's the only reason you chose this game to be a 0 (which in most cases seems to be it) that's your loss.

    Don't listen to these negative reviews telling you not to play the game, don't even listen to mine telling you TO play it. If you want to play it, play it.

    It is a 10/10 for me. What excites me more is if they do it right, this story will be AWESOME in the HBO series.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It couldn't even be compared to the story of the first game, also Joel's relationship with Ellie is much better in the first game, more developed and deeper, but it's still a very good game, and the game's combat system is great. But bruh everyone is crying because joel dies and that's why they give the game a bad rating, and yes that scene was horrible and joel wasn't as smart as in the first game but that doesn't make the game bad, yes there are people who It justifies that the game is bad with other aspects but I have seen people who just say that the game is bad because Joel died, literally a streamer broke the disc just because Joel died.

    Extremely well made game from start to finish, it is easily one of my favourite games. It has such a big emotional impact on the player, the story is gripping and very interesting until the very end. Gameplay and graphics are top notch. Simple 10/10. To all the review bombers: try to be a little bit more open minded and first finish a game before reviewing it.

    Yes, this game is ultimately a disappointment. It's story is generic, and the latter part of the game is overlong and embarrassingly pretentious.

If you were pissed about having to play as Joel at the end of the first game, you're going to despise playing as some of the worst characters ever in a video game here. It's technically gorgeous but I think the original benefited with Naughty Dog working as a team. In this game it just feels like Neil's pompous ego driving the game making decisions. I regret my $180 collector's edition purchase. But the game itself is worth playing as long as you're not bothered that it makes the original masterpiece a little less special. Angry Joe's review sums it up'. I'll never play this game again while I've played through the original 3 times.… Expand

    This is a tricky one to review without spoilers but I think I can manage. So I was a MASSIVE fan of the original. In fact it's the only modern naughty dog game I like. So I was pretty hyped for this until the bomb dropped... Then I was worried and almost didn't buy it but on launch day I woke up and 20 min later I had bought it and started playing.

Then I was worried and almost didn't buy it but on launch day I woke up and 20 min later I had bought it and started playing.

    The thing about this series is everything that makes it good is story based. The gameplay is very basic and easy stealth. I can literally play on hard and get through every section using stealth kills and that includes the ones where they basically try to force gun fights. So it's not the greatest as far as gameplay goes. I'd give gameplay a 5/10 which means average on my scale.

    Now the story..the potential saving grace of destroyer of scores. It's both bad and good but unfortunately mostly bad. Don't get me wrong, there are still moments that feel genuine and some dialog that is good. The problem is it's far outweighed by genuinely bad writing.

    I don't care about genders or someone's preference in partner. So that's not the issue so please don't even go there. No...my problem with the story is it's just bad. It's badly written, it's poorly paced and the important moments feel forced. Basically things happen more for shock value than they do for the benefit of the story.

    In the original it was the story that pushed me to beat it. I HAD to beat it as quickly as I could because the story had me hooked. Without that being the case in this one I had to force myself to play which is why it took me till 3 days ago to beat it and then collect my thoughts on the whole thing.

    I hate it...I wish I didn't, I really do. It's unfortunate really.    … Expand

    But i gave up - just as Naughty Dog gave up on what made Last of Us memorable and great.
    (hint: it's the characters).

    TLDR:
    It's a story about revenge. The circle of hatred.
    The circle is only broken because the story-writer throws in a "twist" at the end. (i shall not spoil it)
    It sucked and certain parts of it requires willing suspension of disbelief.

    Maybe you would enjoy it or maybe not. Buy it at your own risk.

The game itself is amazing, gameplay is very pleasant and it’s almost an upgrade from the first game, also the graphics are very much an improvement, impressive to look at. It feels like an open world, so sometimes, especially in the beginning it feels a bit overwhelming but soon you’ll get the hang of it and it’s really nice. The game menu has an accessibility feature and it has a lot of great things for people who are not that good at the game, it helps. What ruins the game is that Ellie almost looks like a man, yes she is lesbian, fine we get that, but why make her LOOK like a man? I don’t get that, even her voice, it’s like this rough sounding lesbian woman and okay that maybe fits a lesbian woman but it’s too much and it’s simply not the Ellie I remember.... And then Joel suddenly dies by the hand of this woman?... man... woman who looks like a man? Yes, a woman who looks EXACTLY like a man! And then you HAVE to play as HER HIM! For almost the rest of the game, and I would get that if she/he was a lovable character but she/he isn’t, I hated her/him for the entire game, so that was absolutely awful, playing like that. The story ruined the whole game. The music wasn’t good either. The first game left me with this deep feeling inside when that last music started at the credits but this... there was NOTHING... music was bad, ending was meh...

    I completely forgot. they promised we wouldn't have to kill dogs but guess what... we have to kill DOGS! So unacceptable!!! And why the lies??!!    … 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]
