    The first and last thing that should be said about this is, that the sheer ambition on display here sets it apart from anything else. It is a masterpiece that while flawed, is one of the greatest experiences in gaming. If the first one was a good zombie game with a big heart and interesting characters, this one is not that.

It is a masterpiece that while flawed, is one of the greatest experiences in gaming. If the first one was a good zombie game with a big heart and interesting characters, this one is not that. It's an incredible exercice in empathy that reaches closer to art than games usually dare to go and thus ending close to an epic odyssey with a revenge plot to rival, dare I say, Shakespeare(I've a Shakespeare degree, so I'm not saying it lightly) . I've no doubt It will become a benchmark for the future of interactive storytelling. Why? , because it is a challenging and complex human story told interactively with some zombie action thrown in secondarily . This might offend some fans, but what is gained in return is a story that is smarter than it has any right to be. Forcing players to feel and think might be its greatest weakness as many of us turn to games as an escape from our existence. A game that not only dares you not to play on but to recognize your own hurt/Id. You must let the game take you where it wants even when you're in disagreement or disbelief, like myself, it's the only way to enjoy the bleakness present in the plot . And as someone who has been through some violence, I can attest to the psychology on display as realistic and valid. If you can't respect the big plot points then remind yourself that one of the things we loved about the original was its uncompromising nature. Games have come a long way from even that game and I hope this marks a shift to even bolder storytelling in the future of aaa gaming.there are some negatives that stand out in the game play, small glitches etc but the presentation alone made me forgive it. The visuals and the character models are top notch. The sound design is amazing. Play it with headphones or a 5.1 or above system. The story could be tighter as it takes a bit to get to certain points, and it could be shorter as a whole. Some of the difficulty spikes seem random and unforgiving but not enough to make me quit. They seem to be better on harder difficulty. Overall a gem of the likes I didn't know could exist in video games period.9. 5… Expand

    This game was one of the most detailed games I’ve ever played.
    It was enjoyable and it had a great storyline and I think The ending of the game makes everyone curious about the future series of last of us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personally I loved the game. I knew a little bit about the spoilers and was at first skeptical but then before playing decided to just go in with a clear mind. With that in mind, I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the way the characters change, and the themes of trauma and forgiveness (it’s not a story about revenge...it’s a story about forgiveness. When you realize that the ending is sooo much better). The story isn’t by any means perfect. There are a few areas I thought were weak and I wish they had focused a bit more on. Definitely some chronological changes I would love to see made which might help the pacing and tension of some scenes. Graphics and attention to detail are top notch. I don’t really recall any bugs in the game at all: major or minor. Very well polished up product, technically speaking. The music and atmosphere in which the story takes place are very engrossing. It’s easy to get lost in the vibe of the game, which is always a cool thing. Exploring such a huge city was neat. Anyways. It’s a great game. It’s got a great lesson in it. The story can be pretty **** heavy at times, so grab a stiff drink and be prepared to want to talk to your therapist again afterwards.… Expand

    Sadly the world is not mature enough for a controversial, thought provoking game like this. This is a masterpiece and is a shame not been able to experience it for what it is. Excellent combat, one of the very best actually, unbeliable world design and deep characters with REAL passions. Please do yourself a favor and experience this groundbreaking game.

    While playing both as Ellie and Abby throughout the game you experience a combination of dynamic game play in an incredibly detailed atmosphere. Both Directors such as Neil Druckman and Halley Gross contributed brilliant provocative writing to the table.
    In the Last Of Us world there is no good or bad, your actions receive consequences, I truly love how Neil Druckman portrayed the story of Abby, while you save Ellie from the fireflies in the first game you are given the option to shoot four of the doctors who helped do the operation on Ellie, if you look at the statistics I can only imagine many people shot the doctors, I love how The Last Of Us gives you that sense of choice because there was no need to shoot the doctors because they were all innocent people to the point when it turns out that one of the doctors was Abby’s father. I truly believe that Naughty Dog is trying to contribute something completely different that has never been done before in the history of gaming and I believe that is the concept of humanizing violence. As you play as Abby you interact with her friends and when you play as Ellie you interact with Ellie’s friends. As you play as Ellie you end up killing Abby’s friends who at the time remain anonmyous.

    For both storys Ellie has a quite simple A to B revenge mission while Abby has a slightly more complex yet interesting story that has more less nothing to do with Ellie’s story. As you play as Abby you find out about her suffering with the loss of her father and how she has prepared most of her life to kill Joel and her longterm relationship with Owen and how both Owen, Abby and Manny have fallen out with working for the WLF and how Nicholas Dixon the leader of the WLF has called war on the Seraphites a religious cult group that believe the pandemic is due to sin. As you encounter the main land Abby has potrayed both Nicholas and the WLF by befriending two young former seraphites.

    The first game offers a slightly more simple plot while part 2 brings a slightly more interesting yet diverse dilemma to the table
    Naughty Dog have taken the basic gameplay from the first one and brought it to the next level by adding so many difficult yet ingenious features.    … Expand

    Great game brought down by a toxic community. The graphics are great and the gameplay is absolutely amazing. It's pretty obvious that the people who hate on Abby barely found out that women can get buff, and they don't seem to like it. I'm not entirely sure what they expected either, getting buff during an apocalypse is pretty reasonable. That being said the story isn't nearly as specialGreat game brought down by a toxic community.

I think people have kind of jumped on a hate train with this game. It became popular to hate it almos and I've read many of the arguments as to why people dislike it. I just don't see it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 forces you to make morally questionable decisions regardless of how you feel about the characters. It's a dark, brutal, emotionally draining game that clocks in anywhere between 26-34 hours depending on how you play through it. It's a story about revenge at any cost, and what happens when that revenge becomes an obsession.

    It's a dark game for a dark time. There are no happy endings here.

    I personally abhorred the idea of playing anyone but Ellie, but by the end of the game, I felt awfully conflicted about the actions the game made you complicit in.

    Visually, it's the best looking game I may have ever played.    … Expand

    Por q hay cosas que no están muy bien como la muerte de joel que fue un conjunto de coincidencias, muchos dicen que debió morir de una manera más épica pero yo creo que es una muerte muy real para el mundo de tlou aún que como llegaron a ella no estubo del todo bien entre otras cosas. Pero el juego es una montaña rusa de emociones es genial logrando que tengas varias emociones encontradas aún q no simpatise mucho con abby considero q el final es uno bueno ya q jamás había visto q un personaje principal terminará tan solo como ellie ye eso es algo muy oscuro y atrevido, por otra parte los flasbacks con joel fuero una joya los disfrute mucho y creo q son unas de las mejores partes del juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. МНОГО ВОДЫ, НЕ УТОНИ!!!

    Убийство Джоэла в самом начале игры с которого добрая половина, а то и больше, игроков начали бомбить и ставить игре 0 даже не пройдя дальше, показывает решимость авторов (в частности Дракманна) сделать игру чисто про Элли и Эбби, если бы Джоэл выжил, то многие бы еще сильнее бомбили пытайся они показывать Элли и Эбби забыв о нем.
    Те, кто говорят, что она скучная - поиграйте на максимальной сложности, вас будут как щенков гонять по арене и вы поймете зачем такие огромные арены для боев.
    Сюжет игры не гениальный (он и в первой части не был таковым, кто бы что не говорил), но он очень хорош. Повесточка, как многие визжат, есть, но ее настолько мало и она ну вот ВООБЩЕ не влияет на сюжет, что по сути можно сказать, что ее и нет.
    Сюжетная ветка за Элли выше всех похвал, проходил с большим удовольствием и местами специально тормозил, чтобы найти еще какой-нибудь диалог или еще какую-нибудь плюху. Видно, как сильно ее изменили в сравнении с первой частью игры - и это очень хорошо и интересно. Утверждающие, что Дракманн де не имел права так поступать с героями, АУ, это его персонажи, и поступать он мог так как хотел и как считал нужным, поэтому утритесь. Что бы он не сделал, все бы ФАНАТЫ первой части орали - все равно не то. Я люблю первую часть, но смотреть, так сказать, те же яйца только в профиль, я не хотел и не хочу, поэтому я благодарен за классные флешбэки, атмосфера первой части вернулась с ними, но этого достаточно. Это другая игра, про другие темы, про другого главного героя (или героев), поэтому, спасибо Дракманну, что не сделал клишированный сиквел, который точно зайдет всем, спасибо.
    Сюжет же за Эбби, мне понравился, но он затянут. Не обосновано затянут. На прохождение ее ветки у меня ушло где-то 13-15 часов, хотя все стало понятно где-то часов за 7-8.
    Концовка игры, как и сама игра в целом, не обесценивает первую, как некоторые здесь писали, она как раз подчеркивает правильность действий Джоэла, что она спас девочку, которая в последствии сама начала разрушать свою жизнь, а затем осознала это и смогла остановится пока не стало слишком поздно (или уже стало?)

    Итог, это однозначно очень хорошо сделанная игра, исполненная на высоком сценарном, техническом и дизайнерском уровне. Красивый мир, который интересно исследовать, люди, показанные в своей природной жестокости. Да, у меня тоже был момент, когда я сказал себе - что за херню я прохожу? Однако, я дошел до конца, и с уверенностью могу сказать - это не Анчик 4, где все кончается хэппиэндом, это очень качестенная история, которая опустошит вас (если вы любите первую часть), а потом наполнит совершенно другими эмоциями, которые заставят пересмотреть события первой игры, с другого ракурса, с настоящего ракурса.    … 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]
