    The story of the game and the characters are so annoying that I literally want to punch the screen and curse whenever they say a single line of dialogue.

I'm glad that they killed this franchise because the third entry would be so terrible that would cause a global extinction event similar to the one presented in the game. I only feel sorry for the developers that actually had to go through the hell of delivering this story under Neil Druckman's dictatorship. I bet he thinks he's the next Scorsese of gaming.

    The story and the gameplay here are all amazing. To be fair if you were looking for a cathartic ending that leaves you feeling good, you won't get it here. You'll get a gut punch and a slap to the face and then credits role but that doesn't equal bad, that equals reality and the way stories sometimes end in the real world.

This is a game that forces you to think about and face the reality of your actions. If you are the hero in your own story, then you are inevitably the villain in someone else's story and this game makes you experience the consequences and repercussions of your previously "heroic" actions. that is why the story telling is so masterful here. There is nothing in this game that makes it deserve the negative reaction that it got, just don't expect to feel good about the things your character does because you shouldn't feel good if you're driven by revenge.… Expand

    Gameplay felt too repetitive with sprinkles of cinematic to break up the monotony. Falls very short of its groundbreaking predecessor.

    Not quite as great as the first, but I was overall very pleased with the final product. The visuals and gameplay is a huge improvement of the first and many other ps4 games, the story was emotionally draining, and the motion capture is beyond amazing. I still believe the pacing and structure could’ve been improved, but it doesn’t take away from the fact the I love this game.

    This game blew me away. I was skeptical from the people telling me it was garbage but after a friend gave me his copy I was shocked on how amazing and innovating this game is with its story writing and it’s attention to detail in gameplay. This is a must play for all gamers

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part 2 is a tale filled with tragedy and even more death but this does not take away from the beauty that can be found within. The first last of us game is widely considered as a classic video game with very few faults, the story is both tragic and heart warming and the connection between Joel and Ellie is almost second to none. The second installment of the franchise however is a drastic change in tone. Almost instantly the player is hit with an emotional moment that is one of the main dividing features of this game and often causes the most controversy. The story also can be very disjoined at times with numerous flash backs and sometimes flash backs in flash backs. The gameplay is a massive improvement over the first game, making all melee weapons feel weighty and all the guns feel like they need extra precision. The graphics also are absolutely stunning, the sheer amount of detail within the vast landscapes are simply breath taking. All in all the story is a beautiful mess with disjointed segments and sometimes un necessary plot beats. The gameplay is masterful and fun and of course the graphics are drop dead gorgeous. If you are a fan of the first game I highly advise you to play this but with managed expectations.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tired of the LGBTQ Political agenda. Ruined the ENTIRE STORY and the game developer still tries to sell us Abby as a good person when in fact she is the worst fictional character. The hypocrisy of the game developer is just plain stupid. As if people in a post apocalyptic world care about this stupid LGBTQ agenda. They would try to repopulate, rebuild and survive. It could have been an amazing game but why not ruin it with hypocrisy and add some...TONS of LGBTQ stuff in and there you have...a garbage game de la Créme. Disappointing!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. if i were to rate this a year ago when the game came out this would no doubt be a 10 for me. i loved my first play through but going back a few weeks ago i have some issues with it.

    the games far too long. on average it’s took me around 23 hours to beat. i get that they want you to play as both characters but does each section need to be upwards of 10 hours? and on top of that you also have to do the unnecessary santa barbra 2 hour killing spree just to get to the end of the game and have ellie do nothing to abby. the person she hates the most and who she’s wanted dead for the last 25 hours of gameplay. what-

    the love triangles. one is pushing it but 2? really naughty dog? at least with dina, ellie, and jesse you have some character development and they come across as somewhat interesting but mel and owen are barely characters. owen is only there to be a love interest for abby but then mel is there to be the love interest for owen... how does that make any sense? and then owen just ends up cheating on mel, his pregnant girlfriend with abby the night before ellie comes and murders them. talk about jamming plot into the span of almost no time.

    the pacing. if you’re telling me this game has good pacing you’re objectively wrong. if you actually wanna play the game you have to wait 2 hours and slowly sit and wait to watch joel die so you can go to seattle and actually play the game and forward plot. it’s obnoxious. and no i’m not mad because joel died, he absolutely deserved to. joel was by no means a good person and people tend to forget that because he’s the main character saving this girl but he hurt a lot of people and i think he deserved it. as much as i loved joel i can’t say his death was unexpected it was just the question of how. and i think his death was fine. he had literally no option but to go with abby because he would’ve died there and then by zombies if he didn’t go. but you play for 13 hours as ellie getting revenge for her father figure that was murdered in front of her and then you wake up for day 4 and jesse immediately dies, tommy gets pinned, ellie looks as if she’s about to get shot and then boom. you switch abby. who you play as for the next 9-10 hours of the game. i physically had to stop for a bit after the switch because it was so **** stupid. the only part that saved abby’s section was yara and lev who are by far the most interesting characters in that game. them and the seraphites kind of ways are very interesting to hear about and see. the rat king boss fight is also really intense and enthralling and i can’t say i was expecting that. as well as day 3 with abby when you get to the seraphite island and make it to yara and lev’s mom to find out she’s dead and then have to escape the island in hopes of getting away from both scars and wlf is really fun and exciting. but that first day as abby is truly miserable. they present it as if it’s an entire other game and start from scratch with a brand new storyline 12 hours into a game you thought was already getting a bit repetitive; but for the sake of ellie and to see how she got out you kept going. and those flashback placements.. my god. you have a day full of action you’re psyched for the next exhilarating thing and boom you’re in a museum with joel. it’s a real turn and while i loved seeing joel it felt out of place and just there for the sake of being there. also the ellie storyline of revenge is bad but also let’s go kill all of these people one by one brutally for information about someone we’ll end up sparing is extremely confusing.

    overwhelming positives:
    as i said yara and lev’s storyline really shined and made the game for me. hearing about what they’ve been through and lev’s backstory is so so interesting and always had me wanting more. the visuals and atmosphere were stunning and you feel as if you were really in a post apocalyptic version of the areas. i also loved the combat mechanics and the stealth options. never have i seen a game do stealth better then this one. the ability to duck in a building and hide in a room after mowing people down or lunging into a field of grass and picking people off with your silenced pistol was so so cool and fun. day 2 as ellie really stuck out because of its nonstop combat and exploration of areas whether it be in hillcrest or the hospital there was always something new.

    overall the game sticks out. for good and for bad. it will still resonate with me for making me so invested in something during a time where it was hard for me to enjoy life. and while it has some major flaws it’s still at the end of the day the last of us, not the one we all loved years ago but the one that showed us how brutally honest that world can be. it’s an extremely raw and emotional game that should be seen as it is. it’s not groundbreaking it’s not horrendous. it’s the last of us part 2.    … Expand

    In the first part, it was interesting for me to watch how Joel opens up to Ellie and their changing relationship, here the adventures of a lesbian who is not 1% sorry, not sorry for her ugly girlfriend, it's only a pity for Joel that he tore up his ass so much for this. And it's funny to watch only positive media reviews, because everyone is afraid to go against modern realities.

    Снова потенциально интересный мир был сведён к мыльному сериалу.
    Как там говорят история о людях и их отношениях. Ну да, так почему бы не сделать игру про гопоту с района? Почему никак не развивается идея разрушающегося мира? Почему мы не наблюдаем становление нового порядка? Совсем ничего.
    Ну потому что личная драма безусловно важнее. Ходячих мертвецов бросил смотреть ровно по той же проблеме. Я пришел сюда не за этим.
    Сюжет первой части работал, т.к. он был мне ближе. Были понятны мотивы и персонажи. Кроме того игра состояла не из одной чернухи, а скорее наоборот. Менялась от беспросветного ужаса к надежде на обретению нового смысла жизни. И вот честно, если в вашей жизни появится сын/дочь/племянник/младший брат/сестра, то сюжет сработает идеально.

    А вот во второй части нет ни одного персонажа, с которым я бы мог себя ассоциировать (ну почти). Возможно именно поэтому, за историей скучно наблюдать.
    Даже в название вынесено не просто цифра 2, а именно "Часть вторая". Но это совершенно не так.
    Скажу даже больше. Мне кажется, что невозможно быть фанатом двух частей одновременно, они противоположны по настроению и посылу.
    Можно к обеим частям относиться нейтрально, если сюжет вас не зацепит.

    А в целом в полку звездных войн, терминатора, охотников за привидениями и т.д. прибыло.
    Очередная франшиза вывернутая на изнанку в угоду прогрессивным идеям.
    Не покупайте это и не поддерживайте осквернителей своей валютой, если вам не понравились перечисленные выше продолжения некогда великих франшиз.

    Оценка моя безусловно абсолютно субъективна и в определённой степени отображает протест против вектора развития современных веяний.
    Но, потратив средства на данный продукт, я в праве высказываться о его качестве.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished The Last of Us part 2 and was totally disappointed.
    The only nice thing I found and that I saved was the gameplay but only because I had fun.
    I state that I was totally indifferent to the story and what was happening in the game, but I followed it all to see how horrible the writing was. The story is told in a horrible way unlike the first chapter, also the game becomes quite predictable with the situations that will happen to you during the game, for example you know that there will be a jump scare, enemies that will attack you, moments when the character falls and other situations such as finding resources before enemies I have bosses, safes and more. For a game that wants to be realistic it is full of forcing to move the plot forward and meaningless moments. For example Tommy who enters Seattle with the horse but when we arrive we find the gate closed and the power turned off, when with Ellie we go to the hospital from Nora and after capturing her we throw ourselves into the hole under both without a mask but the soldiers only notice that Nora does not have the mask, Nora who could give a false information to Ellie about where to find Abby since they were alone and that Nora would have transformed / died from spores, Jesse and Ellie separating while going to the aquarium, the map that falls to Ellie at the aquarium but no one notices even when they return to the theater, Ellie who knows why Abby killed Joel but in the game is not shown how he knows, Jerry Abby's father who should be younger than Joel during the first TLOU but who does not know how he became so good and can create the vaccine despite its alleged age does not correspond with his medical knowledge especially in a post-apocalyptic world, Abby and Lev who are going to the hospital and while crossing the bridge fall right into a building where there is a swimming pool still full of water, the part where Abby arrives at the hospital alone and the WLF soldiers ask him if she has arrived swimming and Abby replies that her boat has gone but checking the area there are no steps to get to new and the only passage to get there by boat has debris and barbed wire, Abby who is not killed several times because she is saved once by Manny, two by Yara, the farm where Ellie, Dina and JJ are that is poorly protected by bandits who could assault her and other forcing and meaningless scenes with which the plot manages to move forward. The enemy artificial intelligence is good but nothing as great as it seemed to me at first look. I didn't like the two The Last of Us and I don't care about their story, characters etc, but honestly I found the first chapter clearly superior on almost everything except the gameplay that in TLOU2 has improved assault her and other forcing and meaningless scenes with which the plot manages to move forward. This review is based on my personal and subjective experience. P.S. Excuse me for my bad English.    … Expand

    Jugablemente creo que es de los juegos mas precisos y pulidos que se han visto en mucho tiempo, el guion y la narrativa creo que se caracteriza por dos cosas:
    Primero la dureza y la crudeza con que el juego trata a todo y a todos, siendo esto algo poco visto con tanta dureza en el mundo de los videojuegos.
    Y segundo la capacidad que tiene el juego para enfadarte y hacerte dudar de tu moralidad como ser humano. Y si por eso creo que el juego es grandioso ya que, que un juego te genere ese sentimiento y esa sensacion tan dura es el vivo ejemplo de que el juego esta escrito y dirigido de una manera increible.
    Por ultimo a nivel tecnico es simplemente el techo grafico de una generacion. Ningun juego creo que consigue estos niveles ni por asomo, y os hablo desde el punto de vista de una ps4 normal. No me quiero imaginar como se disfrutaria este juego en un pc con una 3090 en la actualidad.

    Por todo ello hacer una mencion especial, al que para mi es el mejor estudio de la actualidad Naughty dog gracias a ellos tenemos los mejores juegos y tambien nuevas vivencias en el mundo de los videojuegos.    … 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]
