    Bad story/writing, never before seen graphics and above average gameplay. I still would recommend the game. It is really beautiful to just look at and admire.

    The Last of Us 2 is a masterful swansong for the PlayStation 4, and arguably the finest, most accomplished project Naughty Dog has ever embarked on.

    Worst game of the year. The plot is half filler. The gameplay is monotonous and boring. The entire budget of the game was spent on graphics and animation.

    They ruined Ellie and Joel. The first part was my all time favourite game. It has solid narrative and characters. ND thought they were being clever here

    Absolutely ruined.

    Whoever thought this was a good idea is a moron. I'm not going to go into spoilers, because its something I'd rather not spoil, get it from a video.

    Its genuinely AWFUL. One of the worst games ever potentially. You can't take what was a beloved franchise and **** on it.

    Game play is more of the same, story is worthless trash

    The story is cluttered but the risks they took with it and some of the concepts were pretty bold for this sequel and there's a lot that falls short but the gameplay is very fun, brutal, and satisfying and the graphically this game is phenomenal. Acting wise everyone does a fantastic job. The game is solid

    Probably the most freaked up game I ever played. By the end of the ultra-violent emotional rollercoaster my mind and soul were just numb.

    I wanted to like this game, I really did. Gameplay is good and graphics are really clean. That's about the best thing I can say about the game.

They really waste the potential of a good story here with some of the writing decisions they made. Things feel really forced. There are a lot of weird undertones in the story that really make you feel as if they are trying to push an agenda instead of focusing on a natural, diverse, well-layered characters.

    The death of a major character was extremely bad in its execution. For me this game really ruined the legacy of the original. Ellie and Joel were great characters in the original. This game was unsatisfying in so many ways.

    Neil Druckmann had an very uninspired vision for this project. While I think representing diversity was a positive thing in the game's storytelling, I also believe that character development was a failure- which ultimately cheapens the ambitious characters more than if they had just gone with a vanilla action-movie cast. You can be as ambitious with characters as you want, but if you don't build good characters, there is no element of comprehensive story telling.

    I am disappointed yet not surprised by the positive feedback from reviewers. This game was just not for me.    … Expand

    It took me 26 hours to finish "The Last of Us Part II". I don't understand people who give zero marks, even if they criticize the plot, but say that everything else is fine. I liked the game very much, I don't see any critical problems in it that make my eyes pop.

    Игра по праву заслуживает рейтинг 18+, для меня, это одна из самых кровавых и жестоких игр что я играл. Тема насилия раскрыта на 100%.
    Сюжет как многие писали, меня не оставил "у разбитого корыта". Для меня это целостная, законченая история, с невероятно эмоциональным финалом. Вся игра заставляет тебя задумываться о своих поступках.
    Геймплей. Он шикарен, проработано все до мельчайших подробностей.
    Что касается ЛГБТ тематики в игре. Да, она есть, но эта игра далеко не об этом. И судить игру из-за этого точно не стоит.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought about this game...a lot. Finished it right when it came out and since then I think about it.
    And, damn, what can I say? I love it!
    All the technicalities aside, the plot is f-ing great! I know, I know...You guys are pissed about Joel, and Abby but, like, why? Y'all really thought in this grim and nasty world of TLOU vengeance wouldn't come for him? Don't get me wrong, I loved that guy as much as I love Ellie and Tommy and the first game in general, but for me it was so damn obvious that he's going to pay for what he did. Simplest choice a writer could make
    Plot's structure is, well, unconventional, but approaching it open-minded gives you a chance to understand characters of Ellie and Abby more.
    Anyways, you can like the game or hate it. Just don't be an **** calling the creators names. They put their hearts and souls into this. Bye.    … Expand

    Despues de terminar el juego puedo decir lo siguiente:
    Sin duda el desarrollador es uno de los mejores que tiene Playstation, ya que los graficos y escenas mostradas son de una calidad soberbia, la jugablidad, las mecanicas no tienen ningun reparo desde mi punto de vista y eso que lo jugue en la PS4 slim al cual le cambie el HDD por un SSD que ayuda mucho en los tiempos de carga. Por ese lado puedo decirles que Naughtydog es de los mejores y no defrauda en lo tecnico.
    Por otro lado... actualmente vivimos en un tiempo donde todo contenido debe elaborarse con cuidado para no herir susceptibilidades y ofender por accidente a alguien que tal vez ni es gamer. Con esto no quiero decir que las empresas y jugadores no sean inclusivas o que sean intolerantes, pero por volver cada cosa nueva en algo "politicamente correcta" se sienten los cambios muy forzados y solo para dar gusto a alguien, no permiten que las obras concebidas continúen de una forma mas "organica" y se vea con contenidos forzados que manchan una historia que pudo ser sublime.
    Tristemente eso paso con la historia de este juego tan bello , que nos llevo a un nuevo apocalipsis donde en el primer juego todos sufrimos y reimos con Joel y Ellie, sangramos con ellos, sufrimos con ellos, lloramos con ellos...
    Solo en sueños podre imaginar lo que pudo ser de este juego que espere por una generación entera, y que logro decepcionarme.
    De todas formas agradezco a NaughtyDog por el primer juego que logro ser el mejor que jugué en mi vida y mis condolencias por TLOU parte 2, se que no fueron ustedes y que solo recibían indicaciones de terceros al hacer este titulo.    … Expand

    This game is an UNEXPECTED masterpiece - since I was very skeptical about it.
    People are hating on this story, not because of its quality... Because it's hard to swallow.
    Just like they initially did with the previous game's ending. Remember?
    Because it's raw, it's powerful, it's bare, it's crude... Because it's human on a scale you may have never seen before.
    There were moments where I genuinely paused the game, needing some air, because of a dramatic scene that felt like a kick in the stomach... And there were moments where I genuinely smiled back to the screen, in front of the cutest and emotional scenes you've seen in a videogame - even surpassing TLOU1.
    The amazing graphics and the beautiful soundtrack are the icing on the cake, the catalysts of this emotional rollercoaster.

    Also, enemy NPCs: another level of greatness has been accomplished here.
    They'll talk to each other, calling themselves by names, getting angry at you if you killed their companion, and exchanging information about your position.

    The gameplay isn't new, it's mostly a refined version of what we had in Part 1. Except for a couple of things:
    - The stealth feels great and realistic in this game, it's something you'll crazily enjoy if it suits you.
    - The level design is insane this time, elevating the gameplay to its maximum potential.

Она будет уничтожать и поглощать человека. Затмевать твой разум и рассудок. Действия перестают быть логичными, когда ты идёшь на поводу у мести. Насилие порождает реакцию, которая обернётся в конечном итоге против тебя. Но в таком мире существует только серая мораль, где все пытаются выжить. Это произведение дает понять что главное продолжать бороться за свою человечность и научится одному из самых главных чувств - Милосердию.

    Стоил ли говорить что нибудь о музыке в TLOU2 ? Выдающейся Густаво Сантаолалья и очередное полное попадание на струны души. Техническая и геймплейная часть - нет слов. Весь актерский состав - потрясающий. Naughty dog во главе с Нилом Дракманном сделали одну из лучших видеоигр в истории, уже второй раз.

    Engagements are way more complex and way longer than in many games. They keep you on your toes and keep the adrenaline pumping. Weapon handling is very satisfying and there's great variety of weapons, enemies and strategies Having played the full game, I can't think of any better game on this generation. For me it beats Red Dead Redemption 2 (which is comparable in tone, looks, gameplay and scope). It looks better than God of War, which is saying a lot. Combat is as intense as any war game.

    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.
