    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awesome game with several emotional punches to the gut. A story that shows how evil is a matter of perspective. The loss of a beloved character from "part one" caused a backlash from some of the more toxic fanbase that either quit the game at that point or failed to register the reason behind the test of the game. The areas in the game are vast and beautifully executed, with nooks and crannies that would be perfect for multiplayer. The only issue I had with the game was the required killing of man's best friends, but that also added to the realism of the game and was well thought out.… Expand

    I am consciously giving the game 10/10 instead of 8.5-9/10 it deserves as I think. That’s because I am totally sure that the game is underestimated too often. Ppl, bother to make your own opinions please!

The graphics of the game is the best part of this success with the soundtrack. Violemt,inntellect, I will wait for a 3 parts !!

However, in my opinion, it is masterfuly done, as it also places the player in the antagonist's shoes. The world is not black and white and everyone is driven by personal reasons. Art direction, music , sound and visuals are pure art. Masterpiece.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я думаю что игра не плохая. Персонажи хорошие но не все раскрыты полностью. Можно было уделить больше внимания Эбби и Дине. Сюжет порадовал, но коридорность игры расстраивает. Дам раскрытую оценку ниже.
    • - Музыкальное Сопровождение 10/10 - Персонажи 7/10 - Русская озвучка 9.5/10 - Английская озвучка 10/10 - Перевод Субтитров на русский 8/10 - Сюжет 9/10 - История Персонажей - 6/10 Визуальные Составляющие - Графика 10/10 - Катсцены 10/10 - Физика 10/10 - Постановка Света как в катсценах так и в окружающем игровом мире 9/10

    • Дам небольшую оценку персонажам (как визуальную составляющую также: костюмы, голос, раскрытость") - Элли 8/10 без слов и так всё понятно. Могу только сказать что одежда подобранна прям под неё. Но причёска в конце ей вообще не идёт. Озвучка порадовала. - Джоэл 9/10 (раскрытость" проявляется в конце новой части, а всё остальное из первой и так понятно) - Эбби 8/10 мне понравилось как они преподнесли Эбби как персонажа и личность. Озвучка очень хорошая и внешность не расстроила. - Лев 7/10 мало разговорчивый по своей натуре и ему это очень подходит. Так и не понял они специально не раскрыли его по больше из за его личности или это косяк? Надеюсь будет какое то DLC с Левом или что то в этом духе. Костюм подходит хорошо. Озвучка тоже. Но по началу ему не шла озвучка. Но потом привык. - Дина 6/10 Мало раскрыли Дину. Потому что для персонажа с такой ролью можно было намного больше. Одежда ей тоже подходит, озвучка хорошая и также ей подходит. - Томми 5/10 Персонаж более менее раскрыт в первой части как по мне. А во второй не очень. Хотелось бы узнать про не го по больше. Озвучка как всегда подходит и одежда тоже. На этом всё, игра вышла хорошей. Постарались ребята но ЛГБТ отсылка конечно подпортила игру. Анита Саркисян «постаралась» я вижу.    … Expand

    La historia es lo único malo de todo el juego, en todo lo demás mejoró al respecto del juego anterior, solo espero que Neil Druckmann realmente piense como nos sentimos los fans tras jugar el título y que los que solo critican por criticar por ver el final en internet y sin jugar realmente al título deberían estar sin internet

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There was a quote in the original that Ellie asked "do you think they had friends or family?" And Joel said "it's best not to think about that." This game makes you think about it whether you like it or not - I liked that part. The feeling of you feel like crap, I liked that.

    I hated Dina and Ellie's relationship, which makes up a majority of the game, to where when Ellie leaves her at the theater I was relieved because it felt forced to promote SJW stuff when it could have been handled like Drake and Elena's relationship where it was funny and smart and sweet and great despite their circumstances, but they didn't want that and wanted to go straight for the "if you don't like this relationship than you're a homophobe" type of writing (which is called lazy writing). I actually liked Abby more than Ellie, oh my word. I haven't finished it ven after hearing the leaks and listening to the backlash and all of that. Alot of the hate is out of context because of the leaks and rumors (Abby is trans, homophobic Christian cult), but some of the hate is legitimate (character motivation, and the lost of the character).

    The ending completely through me off from what could have been a good game, my final score is 5/10 because of the atrocious ending that ruined it. Ultimately, the graphics were great, music and sound 2was fantastic, but the story had pacing issues and an absolutely terrible ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was fun and entertaining. However, the story sucks and Naughty Dog should not have made part two. Part 1 in my opinion was the best game ever. The problem I have with this game is the lame story and Joel's early death. I would've loved for Joel to have a bigger role in this game. The second issue I had was playing as Abby. Why do I need to learn about Abby's past? I really don't care and a good cut scene would have been sufficient. I feel like Abby game play dragged on way too long. The last issue I have with this game was the crappy ending. All this time given to this game just to end with Abby living? Wow, I am very disappointed so much that I had to write a review.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For the people who have been waiting for this game for more than 5 years, this game can be pretty disappointing for you. I personally really enjoyed some parts of the game like beating up Abby, combat, graphics, characters. But the story line was somewhat mediocre. Especially 10 hours of Abby gameplay was really stressful and painful for me. On the other hand I missed Joel so much the entire game. It was painful to see how he was tortured and killed. But I would definitely recommend this game to everyone just to let them see what this game has to offer.… Expand

    6/10 is a fair score imo. I don't think I can recommend it at full price though, maybe wait for a sale instead.

    I think I can divide this game into 3 parts, with the 3rd part being the worst and also very short in comparison, more like an epilogue. If the game ended like I thought it would at the end of that 2nd part, the ending would have been a little bit better (worthy of a 7/10) and    6/10 is a fair score imo. I don't think I can recommend it at full price though, maybe wait for a sale instead.

    I think I can divide this game into 3 parts, with the 3rd part being the worst and also very short in comparison, more like an epilogue. If the game ended like I thought it would at the end of that 2nd part, the ending would have been a little bit better (worthy of a 7/10) and for me satisfying, but unfortunately we got an extra 2 or 3 hours of playtime before the game ended and those few hours felt completely unnecessary with an ending that was just kind of meh.

    Overall I really enjoyed the game despite it's flaws.

    - Story is kind of mediocre for me. We have seen this type of story in many movies and executed better and also much worse. Despite a weaker story, I still wanted some answers throughout the game (and I was satisfied with them) and I wanted to know what happens next. The characters can sometimes be **** stupid and make stupid decisions (some of them selfish) just to keep the game going. I also liked all the flashbacks that happen throughout the game. They didn't feel like filler to me.

    - The graphics are very good even on the normal ps4, the acting is great and so is the level design. There are also a few bigger areas this time. I saw a few (not many) graphical glitches here and there, but perhaps there are less of them on ps4 pro.

    - The gameplay has also been improved and was easily the best part of the game for me. It is very similar to the first game, except you can now also jump, prone and even hide in tall grass and under vehicles and some objects. I THINK they even added a dodge button (or was it in the 1st game as well? I can't remember), which makes the combat better. You can also craft a silencer for your gun. You no longer have to waste shivs to open locked doors. The AI is a bit on the dumber side even on Survivor difficulty and can sometimes be easily exploited, but I've seen worse in some other games. (For example: In the 3rd part of the game I managed to take out probably at least 15 humans (most of them with melee attacks) while hiding in one small hallway with 3 covers, 1 way in from the front and 1 from the back. One brave fool or usually exactly 2 enemies always stopped on each side of the door that leads into the hallway for a few seconds before only one of them came inside to try and fail to kill me while the other one walked away from the door before finally coming in and let me do it instead of coming in in pairs or groups. Also, none of them apparently knew the layout of their own house because they could have easily surprised me behind if they bothered to walk through the room on the right of the hallway that I couldn't see, but they had access to only if they jumped over a very small concrete fence first that was right next to that door.)

    - I didn't see many bugs, other than usually 1 infected being stuck in a small area and keeping aggro after losing sight of me two or three times in different encounters and a human enemy becoming invisible in the 3rd part of the game when I tried to aim at him from position that the game didn't like.
    - Looting feels a lot more rewarding this time, even on the hardest difficulty. If you try to explore everything, you will find a lot of pills, scrap and crafting components and how much ammo you will take into each encounter once again depends completely on your play-style. And you will definitely need that ammo.

    - I loved the encounters in this game. Some were really brutal, 1 or maybe 2 were a bit scary with some horror game vibes, but most of them were fun, 3 or 4 however were frustrating and they forced me to actually play well to get through them. Luckily the autosaves are very frequent during all encounters and they even helped me win a few difficult fights despite the result being a draw. Unfortunately though, for me many encounters felt like filler just to extend the game length, but because I really enjoyed the gameplay, I didn't really care.    … Expand

Therefore my opinion has been formed purely by the experience of playing this game and the first. That fact that I am focusing on the story and the gameplay choices made by the creators, instead of lauding the action and incredible environments, tells you everything you need to know about this game. The narcissism and folly of the authors undermine all of the aspects that were good and will forever sully the Last of Us legacy.    … Expand

I feel bad for those kind of gamer's because they can't see how different in story this game is telling. This one dwells on revenge and the feelings that accompany with it such as pain and suffering. It has it's heart moments but it's nowhere near where the first game was in it's story and I'm okay with that because I don't want another copy and paste game. If I had to break it down and sum it up, Part II is a masterpiece in it's game play, sound design, acting, motion capture, and all that jazz. But the story for me (which I loved in the end) isn't better than the first game WHICH IS OKAY. I loved Abby's character and sure I was heartbroken with what she did but she grew on me and I want to see more of her and her new sidekick in another game. If Neil and Naughty Dog decide to make a Part III, I would want the trilogy to come to it's conclusion by finding a cure and have Ellie do what she thought she was meant to do meaning, the first game d'welled with purpose, this with revenge, finale with redemption.

    Please buy this game and give an open minded opinion on this. If you still dislike the game, that's okay. But finish the game and give the story and it's characters a chance before making your final thoughts.    … 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]
