    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After completing the game twice and getting 100% on it I feel that I have enough of an understanding of it to write down my opinions!
    This game is polarizing to say the least. Let’s start with talking about the elephant in the room, the story and the characters. In my opinion this story was GREAT. It made me feel so many emotions that I have a hard time to even comprehend. In my opinion the story was crafted so finely that the emotions you feel so closely corresponds with the characters that you are interacting with that it almost feels like you are there and experiencing the loss and despair.

    *SPOILERS*
    When Joel got killed in front of me I felt a hole in my heart that I didn’t know how to fill again, if this isn’t great storytelling I don’t know what is. To be able to make the players feel this connected to these characters is a feat of its own.
    Through the whole journey this made me feel a connection with a main character that I have never felt before, I was just as angry and lost as Ellie through this emotional horror story. The part of the story that I had a hard time with was some parts of Abby’s storyline. My only gripe with it though is that it was too long. That said I like the direction Naughty Dog went with it though. Starting Abby’s side of the story when you still hate her and want nothing else than to finish her off to growing to sympathise with her by the end of her storyline. I never liked her, but you don’t have too and I think that’s the point. She, just as Joel and Ellie isn’t perfect. They all screw up, get people close to them killed and does anything and everything to succeed in their own crusades.

    Let’s talk about the gameplay.
    This game, more than the first one, has really nailed what the gameplay should be in this world. Searching for ammo feels rewarding and makes the world more real when you have to scavenge around the whole map to find useful items. The fact that you can go in and out of stealth also really sells the probability of the world more, as being caught by an enemy no longer feels like you messed up the section but instead you just have to adapt your approach and adjust on your feet when something goes wrong!
    The gameplay also makes a great addition to the story, matching the gameplay to the two different characters which also helps to sell the world.

    I’m not saying the game doesn’t have flaws, because it does. It’s not air-tight but god damn it’s good. Like they could have been more clear with how overwhelming the horde of infected where to further sell why Joel and Tommy would follow Abby in the first place. Mostly to show people that this is still the hardened and careful Joel that we knew from the first game. This will, after the smoke of war has settled, be considered a masterpiece and will definitely be remembered as great game. I remember when the first game came out how many people (including myself) right after finishing the story also where pretty mad at it for robbing the player of what felt as the goal of the game. But after thinking about it and playing it again, I was in love with it and I think a lot of people would feel the same way about this game if they gave it a chance with an open mind!

    Thank you Naughty Dog.    … Expand

È troppo tutto, sono abbastanza presa a male da alcune cose messe a cazzo di cane, perché sti idioti non sapevano come "chiudere" il capitolo per far subentrare sicuramente qualcosa di nuovo, infatti per un paio di ore di gioco cose che non hanno senso, soprattutto guardando il finale. Bella merda, noi fissati con sto capolavoro che avete reso una stronzate colossale. Delusione totale. Si salva solo la grafica praticamente, di trama e storia zero.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is an absolute mess, nobody in the WLF is interesting at all they all suck and have no brains (why tf send a pregnant lady out on the frontlines in the first place). All the stuff in between big parts of the game is extremely boring and not engaging. What made the first game so special was the interesting, funny and MEANINGFUL dialogue happening throughout the story. None of that exists and part of that is because, uh idk, prolly because you killed **** Joel in the first 2 hours of the game. We never get any of those moments between Joel & Ellie and never get to see their relationship evolve. I also have never felt a game try to shove a character down my throat to get me to like her with how they did with Abby. It’s really laughable and depressing at the same time because I had such high hopes. Gggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Expand

    Очень ждал игру! Думал, что создатели первой части не смогут сделать хуже. Смогли!
    1. Ставлю 1 балл, который заработали художники - единственные, кто справились со своей работой в этом проекте. Работа художников действительно впечатляет!
    2. Сюжет наивен и прост, напоминает мыльные оперы начала 90-х годов с актуальными вопросами, по мнению авторов. Мотивация персонажей отсутствует.    Очень ждал игру! Думал, что создатели первой части не смогут сделать хуже. Смогли!
    1. Ставлю 1 балл, который заработали художники - единственные, кто справились со своей работой в этом проекте. Работа художников действительно впечатляет!
    2. Сюжет наивен и прост, напоминает мыльные оперы начала 90-х годов с актуальными вопросами, по мнению авторов. Мотивация персонажей отсутствует. Глупости в поступках поражают - как эти люди могли выжить в постапоке? Во второй части, с сюжетной точки зрения, только эпизод дня рождения Элли могу отметить как хороший. На самом деле на 3,5 из 5, но на фоне остального - отличный.
    3. Игра потеряла в динамике, левелдизайн отвратительный и может ввести в заблуждение только размером локаций. Выход, который 2/3 случаях сопряжен с QTE, просто потому что так захотели разработчики.
    4. Геймплей стал хуже. Годная новая механика только одна - переползания. Почему убрали различие в бутылке и кирпиче - не понятно. Кроме того, в зависимости от ситуации их нельзя сменить. Вообще одноразовый лут раскидан в стороне от арены. Двухкнопочная рукопашка просто смешна.
    5. Боты тупы, (проходил на самом высоком уровне, доступном из коробки потом открываются еще, но играть в это нет ни какого желания). Теряют из виду в упор. Боевка с зараженными стала не интересна, по причинам из следующего пункта.
    6. Сместился акцент с ближнего боя на дистанционный бой что сделало боевку посредственной. Очень много лута в игре, особенно огнестрела, который ни как не оправдан лором и сюжетом. Лут лежит тут потому что его положили здесь разработчики, а не потому что так могло бы быть в постапоке.
    7. Насыщение лора отвратительное. Записки пустые, так еще и написанные как под копирку. Собираемый материал ни как не обогащает сюжет, не раскрывает героев вообще непонятно зачем добавлен в игру в бешеном количестве - просто чтобы был.
    8. Во время игры постоянные флэш бэки к первой части игры. Просто взяли набор знаковых мест первой части, переиграли их в лор второй части и типа новый продукт. Постоянное ощущение что взяли первую часть и выкрутили все бегунки на БОЛЬШЕ, ТОЛЩЕ, СТРАШНЕЕ однако смотрится все это фальшиво.
    9. Игра не оправдано затянута. С сюжетной точки зрения смена стороны не вызвала сочувствия, а только недоумение от очередных ни чем неоправданных решений персонажей, и раздражения от ощущения смены шкурки героя, за которого играешь. Хотя Элли имеет имбанож и винтарь, аналогов которому у Эбби нет.
    10. Абсолютно не запомнилась музыка, ее там просто нет. Ни одной композиции не запомнилось. Ни каких ассоциаций не осталось.
    Обзор был подробнее, но ограничение на символы.
    Если вы еще не покупали эту игру - играйте лучше в первую и считайте что второй не было.    … Expand

    Its an 8 for me. The story is presented extremely well. Its just not as good as the first tale. The gameplay is improved and exciting. And the game is long with a lot of value. I will say, making the platinum trophy more accessible through way easier trophies.this time around, is a but of a let down.

    I finished the game 3 days ago, and I can't stop thinking about it. I don't think I ever feel this way about a game. This game touch on subject that even 13 Reasons Why failed to delivered. It's a very risky move, because I don't think many players would get it. It's not just simply about breaking the cycle of violence, it's a bout how people deal with personal trauma and healing.

    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.
