    The story is about two characters seeking for revenge and facing the consequences of their actions, but it's packaged with incredible side characters and stories.

    This game is absolutely beautiful. The scenes are fully fleshed out with no space wasted and the story is fantastic. Though this suffers from the same issues as the first game, mostly the combat and enemy variety is lackluster and sometimes frustrating. If you liked the first then you'll enjoy this too.

    this game is not about sjw or lgtb. it's about emptiness after losing a loved one. it's about anger and rage. it's about being blood thirsty. it's about empathy and lives. it's about redemption. and most important thing is, it's about legacy.

    У игры неоправданно низкий пользовательский рейтинг. Отчасти я понимаю, почему. Отчасти - нет. Люди ждали другой игры и другой концовки, но никто не может оспорить гениальность технической части, вплоть до мелочей (например, саунд дизайн, отличное создание гнетущей атмосферы с помощью тишины, все звуки приятны, мне хотелось лупить по каждому стеклу, чтобы послушать этот звук).
    О сюжете:    У игры неоправданно низкий пользовательский рейтинг. Отчасти я понимаю, почему. Отчасти - нет. Люди ждали другой игры и другой концовки, но никто не может оспорить гениальность технической части, вплоть до мелочей (например, саунд дизайн, отличное создание гнетущей атмосферы с помощью тишины, все звуки приятны, мне хотелось лупить по каждому стеклу, чтобы послушать этот звук).
    О сюжете: он великолепно построен. Никакое произведение не идеально, к каждой детали можно придраться, но эта игра получила шквал критики из-за гомофобии, трансфобии и прочих порочащих наше общество вещей.
    В сюжете прекрасно проводят параллели: беременные персонажи для зеркальных ситуаций и описания Эбби и Элли с точки зрения поведения в похожих ситуациях; местами кольцевой сюжет, показывающий флешбеки из начала в конце повествования; акценты во флешбеках (например, невозможность игры на гитаре сменяется сценой, где на гитаре играет Джоэл); да даже имена героинь созвучны для большего желания сопоставлять.
    Все персонажи на своих местах, никого лишнего, всё позволяет раскрыть главных представителей сторон конфликта.
    Людям нужно больше думать над сюжетом, над эмоциями и над всем происходящем в картине, а не разбрасываться помоями.
    Мне чертовски обидно за всех, кто принимал участие в создании этого шедевра, потому что многим из них приходится получать гневные письма и даже угрозы смерти и жизни (как актрисе, которая сыграла Эбби). Я досмотрела титры до конца и благодарна каждому человеку, что приложил руку к этой игре.

    К сожалению, люди ждали не этого. И не все способны тратить время на разбор сюжета.
    Возможно, эффект ложного ожидания заключается в маркетинговой компании. Сцена лесбийского поцелуя, например. SONY знали, что многие издания на это отреагируют и сразу напишут о "гниющем обществе". Недавно я видела трейлер, в котором Элли бежит по тоннелям в метро с красным освещением. Я считаю, что с таких точек и нужно было рекламировать игру.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The user reviews to this game are that of the same that were trying to lay dirt when the leaks were released. I disregarded the leaks and played with an open mind and with a knowledge of unkown as to what is to be offered (this will give more of a shock factor when playing).The game offers some very crazy plot twists and overall changes to the world, interactions and characters we once knew and loved. As I played and finished the game I can understand the point of view of many angry fans, however I have found that Naughty dog developers came into this with a message and certain goal that would forever change a deep and loveable story into a dark and twisted one while also changing the way we see games, characters and interact with moral choices. Everything within this game had consequences for every action, a factor that most video games never take into account. the whole concept is new and unheard of and whenever something industry changing comes along so will haters which is why the controversy is common. Now focusing more on the story and gameplay and graphic. I have found that it is worth the 7 years wait and everything last of us that I loved during my childhood, the graphics are next gen and can only wait to see the new Ps5 tech looks, the gameplay has had complaint to having little changes, but my answer is why change something that isn’t broke? It runs more action packed, more open world where the fights can come down to your decisions and your skills and really fulfills the title of survival where you will feel like an underdog yet it will give the instinct of what it takes to survive which has been done absolutely beautifully. Now lastly to finish off the story, I don’t want to giveaway spoiler but I believed at first I was destroyed and was considering joining in on the boycotts. But after playing further in, giving backstories, showing the bold new world you begin to feel the developers plans and storyline checking out, the flashbacks Ellie has gives us characters we knew and saw them change, saw our characters grow. What I’m trying to say is that we try and replicate crazy adventures into video games so we can get an experience similar to real life (though obviously Impossible) The last of us is an unbelievable setting and makes it feel real, with real choices, real consequences and real Actions. Characters that can be hated but made them human with human factors such as pain and most of all emotional pain. All the cliche of the action hero and all the cliches of surviving the impossible is rid off, And gives us what I call the closest thing to a real life zombie apocalypse with a factor that connects us emotionally whether you love it or not.… Expand

    To whoever reads these user ratings. Ignore the noise. Most haven’t even completed the game or they are merely pissed about the characters and the plot not going their way.

    This story is absolutely one for the books and you need to play this game. It is an emotional rollercoaster that will take some huge twists and turns. It is a great sequel and a great Naughty Dog game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II is one of the best games I've ever played. Every act has its consequences. An open ending where Ellie goes alone being one more survivor in the world, while abby apparently arrived with the fireflies, we can see that when we finish the game in the menu that you can see abby's boat. I would love to see a third and last part of this beautiful game, where Ellie returns to be the protagonist becoming like Joel in the first part, a surviving and ruthless girl, struggling for a long time with the idea of ​​surviving, no matter what happens, she will find something to fight for. abby looking for Ellie because she is the only one who can give the cure for humanity, but Ellie does not give it and kills abby, she is not going to give it to the world, because the world took Joel, like Joel, that they took from Sarah.

At first I couldn't understand why this game was so critically acclaimed. Yes, it was definitely a very high quality game, but it didn't seem as incredible to me as everyone described it. Then, something happened at some point, which will completely reverse the perception, not only of the previous half of The Last Of Us Part 2, but of the whole saga of The Last Of Us. That event will lead to an ending that emotionally destroys the player, a very open ending, more than the first chapter. Personally, I recommend playing both The Last Of Us and Left Behind, both equally important for understanding the ending of the second chapter. If you are looking for a game to finish quickly and well, well, this is not the game for you: it lasts almost 30 hours, even if on the internet there are speed runs without glitches for only 5 and a half hours. From a technical point of view, well, what about ... it takes the wealth of Horizon Zero Dawn screen polygons and multiplies them out of all proportion and combines them with incredibly detailed graphics and animations never seen before. The dubbing (Italian), as in the first chapter is perfect, in some sections, as in the first chapter, even better than the original. The gameplay is the logical and coherent evolution of the first chapter, personally I really liked it. There is one thing, however, that I did not like. The bailouts and the checkpoints system, in my opinion, don't work well. In the initial part, the rescue system risks eliminating even 15 or 20 minutes of exploration, data that although the player saves later, the game will save at the previous checkpoint, canceling entire exploration sessions. On the contrary, towards the end of the game, the checkpoints are disproportionately large. Practically, every occlusion of an enemy is equivalent to a checkpoint. This will allow you to kill one enemy, target another, and if you miss the shot, you can restart from the last checkpoint without having to kill everyone you killed before making a mistake. I find this thing broken and absurd and I hope it will be resolved… Expand

People are used to heroic deaths, dramatic and with excessive tributes in a certain way they are easier to adopt since they are fictional and children's stories, but this game, being more realistic, shows that it does not matter who you are or what you have done, the Death can come in essential and unimaginable ways and above all it shows that your actions have consequences. I dare say that for this type of detail this second installment surpasses the first, however due to the different endings many prefer TLOU1. Regarding the end, whether the objective of revenge has been fulfilled or not, the end, whatever it may be, will remain the same, a sad and empty end, which shows us what can cause our desires for revenge; We hurt, affect and lose people, we move them away from us and even worse, we ourselves lose the essence that characterized us as human beings or, as people, revenge will certainly not make things change or improve much less will cause your story is better, you cannot change what happened and the best signature to pay tribute to someone is being that all that. This game is exactly the same as the first installment, a death at the beginning and a trip totally in vain due to grief.
    The game is really good, I could say it is a work of art. The gameplay, gameplay, mechanics, graphics, is superior to many games, I dare say that the best game of the moment.
    Lastly, I am sure that many of those who gave a negative opinion have not even bought the game, obviously much less have played it, and all this controversy seems to me to be due to the large number of spoilers that some streamers emitted with inconclusive, erroneous and confusing information, You are the ones who can try it, play it, and have your own opinions.    … 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...
