    Oh that storytling... after you made everybody hate Joel, you made the same thing to Ellie. She seems more like a maniac that needs to be stopped. It's a hard thing to play a character you hate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has nothing to do with the first game. Spoiler alert! Especially the part of the game with Abby (which is long) has the player wandering around scavenging and occasionally shooting zombies. Never has a story been less interesting. Personally I skipped almost all cinematics because I didn't care about the origin story of Abby or whoever irrelevant character.
    The graphics are good, but nothing of an improvement compared to the first game. Make yourself a favor and do not spend your hard-earned money on this compilation of irrelevant shooting sequences.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute disappointment. Loved the first one. Story is important to me and this game definitely didn't deliver it to me. The characters (especially Joel) changed completely and made stupid choices. The political agendas were obvious and distracting. Abby is definitely the worst playable character in history. The worst part is being forced to play as this unbelievable character after she butchered one of the bests. They need to flush Neil or Naughty Dog is doomed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра на самом деле прекрасна, но вот сюжет... Я не смог понять концовку, в ней слишком видно влияние женщины-сценаристки. Над сценой смерти Джоэла заплакала бы и макака, они просто убили главного персонажа первой части. Эта игра нацелена на женщин?! Нас хотят растрогать тем, что Элии убила беременную женщину, которая бросилась на неё с ножом! Да, после того как нам рассказали историю Эбби и её друзей, этот момент приобретает краски, но чтобы мы эти краски увидели, нам нужно было пройти огромный пролог. Видно что разрабы черпали вдохновение из Убить Билла, но вместо сильных женских персонажей, тут же паразитирование на первой части, финальная сцена это вообще бой двух баб в грязевой ванне. Рассказ истории флэшбэками уже не новый, и довольно грязный приём. О трансах в постапокалипсисе вообще молчу. Было очень опрометчиво брать Хелли Гросс как второго сценариста, а может Нил прогнулся под меньшинствами.

    Забыл упомянуть про часть, где Элли и Дина живут в доме, от этой части у меня ж*па порвалась на британский флаг. После всего того что она пережила в первой части, во второй, после смерти Джоэла, после того как Эбби её чуть не убила, они нашли **анный загородный дом без зомби, ПОЛНОСТЬЮ ЦЕЛЫЙ ЗАГОРОДНЫЙ ДОМ, И ЖИВУТ ТАМ СЕБЕ ПРИПЕВАЮЧИ! Это просто мечта любой 14-летней лесбиянки, но это не влажная мечта лесбухи, "ЭТО ИГРА ПРО ЖЕСТОКОСТЬ". Когда началась часть с Джоэлом я надеялся что это всё её сон, и на самом деле она лежит в больнице в городе Томми, или типа того. Но нет! Это всё происходит на самом деле. Это просто п*здец, простите за мат, но у меня нет других слов. На этот понос предлагают смотреть мужикам, которые час назад крошили черепа и вспарывали горла, со стороны Элли такая-же претензия. В итоге это не та Элли из первой части! Это смазливая девчушка, которая просто хочет жить со своей девушкой в огромном доме, без намёка на каких-то там зомби и всё такое. Очень хочется надеяться что это дело рук второго сценариста, а не Нила Дракмана, ведь если это Нил, ему пора купить такой же дом, и жить там со своим мужем.

    Ставлю тройку только за геймплей, отлично от сюжета.    … Expand

This game is great visually and naughty dog did well on the technical side of the game, but the story was awful. Not only did they destroy the main character from the first game in more ways than one, you play some she hulk for half the game. It’s fine they wanted to take a different direction in this game but could have done it in a better way. Big fan of the The Last of Us, but part two destroyed this franchise for me.… Expand

    The game has amazing graphics and outstanding acting performance by the actors. However, the story is complete garbage. Its full of plotholes, illogical character decisions and all characters stay completely falt throughout the story. All in all a very bad sequel to the original

Если я буду рассказывать все аспекты моего недовольства, то выйдет очень длинный текст, так что в 2 словах. Огромноя проблема по-моему состоит в том, что разработчики обманули игроков, они сказали, что Джоэл жив, они показали ложный трейлер, а всё потому что игроки догадались раньше времени за это уже можно снимать у игры балла так 3. Но основная проблема не в этом, скажите мне почему нельзя было дать выбор в конце? Многие игры так делают, все вы были довольны можно было бы убить Эбби и нет. Этого не сделали, потому что хотели показать игроку куда приводит месть. Но концовка от этого бы не поменялось Элли бы всё равно осталась одна, некоторые скажут: "она не хотела становиться последней мразью",но я не вижу ничего плохого в том чтобы отомстить за любимого человека, если бы игроку дали выбор, я бы смело поставил 9 баллов… Expand

The decisions that our favorite characters make here completely destroys all of the careful development and care that went in to the amazing story in the first. If you love this game, more power to you and I don't want to kill that love at all. I just can't see any true fan of series not feel like they just got spit on. It was a good run but I'm done with the last of us. Don't care for the series, when 3 comes out I'll be doing something else. Good luck to everyone working at Naughty Dog and God bless.… Expand

    Lastimável, essa é a palavra, um game que criou uma legião de fãs com a obra prima que foi o primeiro, decair tanto com essa sequencia.

    Graficamente a game é lindo (talvez o mais bonito do PS4), a física do game é disparado a mais avançada dos games que já vi (trabalho impecável), mas só.
    O ponto forte da franquia é a história e é nela que o game é um caos, lastimável!

Instead what you have here are a few jumbled plot lines, a few shocking moments, and characters tou cant really feel for. I mean jessie and owen were compelling and ellie is a fan favorite, but to never get to play as Joel and all the compelling characters die off, you are left with the trash and a terribly overstated final act about what? Forgiveness? The final act weighs down the game after everything or everyone tou could care for are already dead. I wanted to love this game. Hell, I do love everything about the mechanics and graphics, but that cant make the experience any better when there is such a lost storyline and characters that are not engaging to your audience. I feel like if you write positivity about the game you believe you are some rebel to society and doing social justice, but at the expense of what should have been the best game of the year. I want to understand what happened here and I want a different game with the characters I enjoy.… Expand

El juego es una joya SI, si eres de mente abierta tal vez te agrade la decicion final, pero a mi en un principio me desagrado, mi yo de fondo decía ¿Encerio el sujeto que acabo con todo un grupo de caníbales, que acabo con muchas luciérnagas junto con la reina luciérnaga etcétera termino así? Para mí fue una muerte FORZADA.
    El jugador llega a simpatizar con abby pero abby no simpatiza con el jugador.

    i missed the feeling of emptyness just like the first one, and i dont see joel's decision would've made me hate him the world took everything from him so he took everything from the world and i dont care about abby, her father, her crew and lev.
    And story is all missed up i was the whole time saying "what the hell is going on?" Like when ellie killed owen and mel who helped yara, ellie killed owen the guy who's close to abby's heart after her father?? And lev killed his own mother the one who's close to anybody in this world's heart even if she used to shout at you. He killed her and told abby to let Ellie go like she didnt do anything.

So i tried to be open minded and faithful until the ending that the game might actually be good and that it would be a matter of people just **** on a product for stupid reasons. Long story short, the story is FULL of plot holes. I mean my brain was hurting with all them plot holes. Its just a mess where the guy that wrote the plot just wanted to tick EVERY SINGLE thing on the political agenda list. Its just so sad to see such a prolific title with so many fans since the first game to destroy everything its predecesor just built. The rest of the game is a solid 8/10 with amazing music, graphics, enviroment, lighting, enviroment and pretty much anything else. Gameplay is fun and enjoyable even though the AI, with enemy people specifically, is not bad but not great either. So all in all the game without the story is a solid 8/10 to me but the story is so terrible that i give it a 3/10 at best.
    P.S. please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD just stop putting agendas and politics into games, i dont play games neither for those two, i play games for the fun and maybe to learn some things. OR AT LEAST if you gonna make a game about political correctness just do it right so atleast the plot makes sense.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10/10 graphics if we are talking console graphics, gameplay i'd say 9/10. Really a good baseline for a game. But the story was utterly butchered thanks to the new 'direction' they took the game. Killing an essential character that everyone loves (Which also was on the box art and everything to make believe that you would actually play as joel.) pure for shock value is such an weird way full of plot-holes is bad. Really bad. Rewriting Joel's character to make him trust strangers is weird and didn't feel like a man that survived as much as he did in the first one.

    Overal: graphics 10/10
    gameplay 9/10
    story 3/10 because the beginning parts were nice.
    I'm only giving it a three because they goated people into thinking they were gonna play ellie the whole game or joel some more. They knew exactly what they were doing.    … Expand

    Dopo la morte di Joel, la voglia di vendetta e di vendicarlo ti assale e il gioco ti prepara per viverla.
    Il problema inizia quando inizi a vivere la storia da Abby; vani tentativi di farti amare un personaggio banale e odioso, con una caratterizzazione che ti porta a fartelo disprezzare da subito.
    Personaggi importanti che muoiono senza manco un minimo di focalizzazione su quanto accaduto.
    Un gioco che per quanto lento sembra non finire mai e che non ha un degno finale, ma tutto il gioco si può riassumere con "come se non fosse successo nulla".
    Grafica e dettagli di altissimo livello che vanno a scontrarsi con un IA non proprio "Intelligente" e cambi di dinamiche di gioco per cui non puoi essere minimamente pronto e ti obbligato al morire al first try.
    Il finale penso sia il peggio possibile, neanche immaginabile prima di giocarlo.

Then Ellie ends up not even getting her revenge at the end and the make you play as Abby and you can't kill yourself. Is pretty rough. This game has the intention to delivery a story where it failed. It gave us graphics and gameplay. The horror aspects were great, but a game that was made and advertised for story based elements then fail to deliver has no right to be Game of the Year. They should have done a game where you play as just Abby first before her dad died really build the character development and have this be a 3rd game in the series.

There was a fundamental misunderstanding by the developers to understand what made the first last of us game so successful and beloved by fans, as well as a complete failure to understand why people play video games in the first place. I don’t know about anyone else, but I play video games to be entertained. In a way, playing is an escape from my daily life, or something that I can do that is fun that helps me relax. I think that this is the case with most people. I can’t see any entertainment value in a game as brutal and bleak and depressing as the last of us 2. I don’t want to feel depressed and angry when I want to unwind by playing a game. I understand that some games want to elicit some emotion from you to bring you closer to the story and make it more immersive, but they went way overboard on this one. Naughty Dog will turn around and say that it’s groundbreaking storytelling, but that’s a load of BS.

    I understand that the development team was trying to go in a different direction and capture different emotions from the user than they did with the first installment. This direction was a complete and utter failure. All I ever felt while playing this game was disgust and depression. It’s so dark and bleak, and I did not find it entertaining at all. I’ve only played it once. By comparison, I have played the original last of us at least a dozen times.

    I guess the biggest thing that bothers me about this is not the fact that they made a very polarizing, bleak, and depressing game that angered a massive portion of their fan base; it’s that they pretended like they didn’t do anything wrong and that the game that they created was made of pure gold sprinkled with Atlantis dust. The developers came off as very arrogant and elitist.    … 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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
