    The Last Of Us part 2 had me go through all the emotions. I could not put the game down once I started engaging in the story. It has great character development as well as a well put together story to follow. This sequel is true to its name as a part 2 of The Last Of Us. This is one of the best game I played this Generation. I can't wait to replay this game over and over again. Great jonThe Last Of Us part 2 had me go through all the emotions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve seen a lot of hate because of the playthrough with Abby but it made the game much better. The soundtrack, the mood and the overall ambience of the game was perfect. Definitely a shock in the beginning for me because I never read or look at spoilers.. but I continued with the game regardless. I like how they made you contemplate if Ellie and Joel were the real bad guys for what they did to Abbys Father. It’s a nice change of pace and closing to Elles Story. Hopefully a third game comes out where you play as Abby.… Expand

Но и также в противовес всему откровенный слив. Во первых разрабы ввели в заблуждение всех своим трейлером, где Джоэл якобы отправляется с Элли, из за чего я с полной уверенностью продолжения приключений побежал и сделал предзаказ, а в итоге ожидания были разрушены, как это назвать если не обманом? Во вторых прохождение за Эбби - шляпа. Ну не смог я ей сопереживать , хоть и пытался, правда пытался. В третьих странно прописаны персонажи. Джоэл так беспечно подставился в начале, вы серьезно? Томми швыряет из стороны в сторону. Дина очень понравилась, но её взяли и вывели из игры грубо говоря. Хотелось ее больше в игре, больше химии с Элли. Отступники "шрамы" тоже симпатизировали, но хотелось бы увидеть бы их за компанию за Элли. Простите, но какого рожна я должен играть за какого то высосанного из пальца персонажа, если я хочу играть за героев первой части. Ну не волнует меня Эбби, да понятно, она тоже человек, да убили отца, но кого это волнует когда ты сопереживаешь родным персонажам, которым была посвящена целая игра, а тут тебя пытаются за пол игры заставить полюбить совершенно чужого персонажа, да и ещё забившего до смерти клюшкой Джоэла, который, напомню, без разговоров бросился помочь незнакомке. Но это все лирика. В общем можно долго говорить, но повторюсь игра в целом хороша, драматична и вложено в нее сил немало, но это не совсем то что лично я ждал столько лет. Графика, физика предметов и персонажей на высшем уровне, чувствуется кропотливая работа. Геймплей супер, а особенно понравилось куча всяких тонких настроек. За это отдельный плюс. Минус за обманутые ожидания посредством лжетрейлера, слабый сюжет и неудачное решение передать игроку управление за Эбби, да и в целом ее за уши притянутую историю.
    P.s. напоследок хотелось сказать что после всего того что прошли главные герои первой части, взяли и так бездарно слили Джоэла, ещё и в самом начале. Можно было столько всего интересного придумать, столько драмы нагнать, развить тему "цикад" и вакцины, возможно и что то другое, было целое непаханое поле. Но увы и ах.    … Expand

I wish I didn’t see the Metacritic stuff before playing. I went through the game and tried to forget about the critic and user reviews to not be pushed in either direction. I did my best, and after, still, fill a void because people don’t seem to feel the same way.

    The story had its ups and downs. I don’t mean in the writing, I mean in how I felt. I think it was done on purpose. I hated certain moments of this game. Particularly towards the middle and end. But as it went on, I became attached and understood the reason behind why I am playing. The game makes it seem like it is a story of revenge, and for parts of it, it is. But that is not the major theme. It branches out and does things that many of us did not want to happen. It pushed the limit on storytelling. It went against the grain of what people most likely wanted. It definitely isn't what I wanted or expected, but I really enjoyed all of it. I just had to finish the game and sit on it for a night before I took the time to write about it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. para mi este juego esta bueno, no me gusta como esperaba pero tampoco me parece mal juego, sin embargo que yo me esperaba que muera joel ya que en esta historia no hay ni buenos ni malos la historia trata sobre supervivientes a una "pandemia", sin embargo a eso no me esperaba que muera asi, porque ya como vimos en la 1ra entrega, joel es una persona que después de esta catástrofe, empezó a desconfiar de todos, el se dedicaba a el contrabando( el daba armas a grupos y ellos les pagaban),también cuando se encuentra con sam y henry el desconfía demasiado al principio, entonces me parece muy raro que cuando abby le dice a joel y thomy que pueden ir a su mansión donde están sus amigos me parece raro que joel y thomy no desconfíen en ningún momento a pesar de lo que paso cada uno, en cuanto a abby me parece que ustedes quieren que entendamos y que nos encariñemos con el personaje, pero la mayoría llego a entenderla pero no a encariñarse, también elie al final entiende por que abby mato a joel, lo que pasa ahí es que elie entiende el sufrimiento de abby pero abby nunca entiende el sufrimiento de elie, y en cuanto al final a mi gusto( mi opinion) hubiera estado bueno que elie matara a abby así cerraba ese "ciclo" que tanto busco, porque elie principalmente queria venganza contra abby pero tuvo/quiso matar a todos sus amigos, entonces para mi elie tenia que matar a abby asi cerraba ese ciclo, pero eso lo digo como historia, en cambio el juego te da una moraleja de lo que causa la venganza. En mi opinión el juego si esta bueno pero no mucho pero no es malo esta en un punto intermedio, en cuanto a jugabilidad, graficos, un poco de la historia, y esas cosas el juego estuvo muy bueno, lo unico son esas cosas que recalque que EN MI OPINION arruinan un poco la historia, pero no la arruina del todo ni mucho, son pequeñas cosas que a mi gusto cambiaron todo el rumbo a lo que yo esperaba. Pero el juego en si esta muy bueno y me parece que no deberia tener todo el hate que tiene, nada mas lo que recalque y pocas cosas mas, pero no cambia demasiado la historia, la verdad que el juego esta bueno en si.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having played the first game and loving it, I was beyond excited to play the sequel. I avoided the leaks and came into the game knowing nothing. After finishing it, I can't help but be disappointed. It seems Naughty Dog forgot what made the first game special. The quirky bits, interesting side characters and interesting story are not very present in this game. I was extremely disappointed to see that Joel's demise came because he trusted a stranger. Especially after being so cautious in the first game. But it had to happen considering this is a revenge story. So that out of the way, I am beyond perplexed as to why I had to play as Abby for half the game. It seems as if they tried to make Abby seem better than Ellie by trying to give her better parts, playing with dogs and giving more character development. All in all, I'm beyond disappointed and hope Naughty Dog gets back on track with their next game.… Expand

    INCRÍVEL, um jogo que deve ser jogado por todos, apesar da história não ser oque a maioria dos fãs queriam, é um jogo que deve ser jogado, gameplay realista, gráficos muito bonitos, trilha sonora impecável, the last of us part 2 não é sobre personagens e sim sobre pessoas, e um mundo devastado não só por uma doença mas sim pelo ódio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WTF did I just play? So if this game was a standalone game and were not a sequel to TLOU1 than it would be a pretty decent game but oh boy if you compare part 1 to part 2 there are dimensions between them. How could someone approve this kind of story writing? Almost all characters act out of their character what we learnt and seen throughout the first game and then they gave us new characters with almost no personalities and killed them off pretty fast and everyone just forgot about them like they never existed. I could go one and on and on but that would take too much time. So in conclusion:

    Gameplay: 4/10 (it's almost exactly the same like the first one)
    Music: 9/10
    Voice acting: 9/10
    Story: 2/10 (this is generous because of the flashbacks between Joel and Ellie)
    The game: 2/10

    If you loved the first game don't bother to buy the sequel you'll be disappointed how poorly they write and treated the characters we fell in love with through the first game. If you support this game it's like you would spit on joels corpse.    … Expand

    This is a story based game. Therefore if the story fails you have to minus more points even though the graphics and game play is exceptional. The story fails, Yes 3/10 seems brutal but if you played Sekiro and the boss's and combat suck you would take extra points off even though the world and graphics are really cool. If you do love misery porn then this will be a 10/10 for you

    One of the best stories of all time. Never does a game manage to impact on your emotions as heavily as TLOU2, whether good or bad, undoubtedly this game has impacted many people deeply. Round it off with stunning visuals, top class sound design and upgraded gameplay and you’ve got one of the best games of all time.

    Ну, что сказать! Игра сама по себе не плоха, сюжетная линия среднечек (не для фанатов 1 части), любителям толерастии особенно понравится (тут им и лгбт и сильные накаченные независимые дамы, ну и как же без трансгендеров). Графически очень понравилась! Но советую ее проходить только на ютубе, так как очень долгая и эмоции она вам не передаст в отличии от оригинальной версии.Ну, что сказать!

    The only reason I gave an 9 is because I played just first 5 hours of the game otherwise probably I will give a 10. So far is a great game from my perspective, I don’t care about any LGBT **** in the game, I just enjoy the game and period. Beautiful looking and a good story with twists and turns ! Good one Naughty Dog !!!

    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]
