    The visuals are the best of ANY PS4 game... period. I didn’t know the system was capable of graphics like this. If you told me it was PS5... it would trick me.

    Now, the story does not draw you in like the first one. You can tell it’s a much weaker plot, but it’s no way the worse I’ve experienced. What helps honestly is the motion capture and acting is incredible. The gameplay and    The visuals are the best of ANY PS4 game... period. I didn’t know the system was capable of graphics like this.

    The gameplay and combat is tight. It feels very responsive and perfectly tweaked.

    Overall, I think the user Metacritic score is too harsh and the professional critic scores are too high.

    At this point, the story would have to go off the rails or level design fall apart in the later part of the game for being rushed for me to have a different view.

    Up to this point... I’d give it an 8.8 not a 3 or a 10.    … Expand

    One of the best game i ever played ... i really dont know why metacritic continue with this people voting 0 or 1 xD Its impossible a game like this have 0 or 1 rated, only toxic pleople and people without brain can vote that.

The game is definitely not the 10/10 lots of game reviewers gave but definitely a nine , and don’t just think it’s bad because of the spoilers you really have to play it for yourself, all that it keeps from a 10/10 is the anticlimactic ending , naughty dog tried to make us like Abby but that’s what they failed at so in the end I still wanted to kill her which sadly didn’t happen… Expand

    Es hat eine super Grafik sowie Spielwelt. Die Charaktere sind super geschrieben und gut dargestellt, die Story ist auch gut ab und zu zeigt es leichte schwäcenh und der ein oder andere Bug ist auch da. Trotzdem ist das Spiel super und meiner meiner Meinung nach das Geld wert. Alle die die Story haten haben das Spiel entweder noch nicht gespielt oder erzählen scheiße, es sind aber auch nur Meinungen aber es ändert nichts daran das das Spiel super ist. Auch das enttäuschende Ende ist zu Kritisieren da es gut getan hätte Abby zu töten um Joel zu rechen, da das Ende meiner Meinung nach anders sein sollte ist bestimmt auch die Meinung der anderen.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only if this game was not spoiled, we would witness a great game, but because it is people don't enjoy this game there. As a developer it feels an immense pain in heart seeing your game being hated by so many people out in the wild. The game in which you worked so hard, took care of every little detail and ensured that everyone could play this game by giving upto 60 accessibility options being hated by such a large amount of public could make any man go feel worthless and sad. First of all kudos to all the people in Naughty Dog who worked day and night so hard to make such a great piece of art only to be hated by public just because it got spoiled. The ethics and morality of people have fallen to such great degree one can't imagine. People flooding with negative reviews, even when they haven't purchased the game and not experienced every character in it. I have even asked a man if he had played the whole game, to which he replied, "nah! I watched few you tube videos and this game is **** Despite living in a world where proverbs like Don't judge a book by it's cover or One man's trash another man's treasure are prevalent, but it seems they are just mere words, whose importance and meaning no one understand. There are many things in this world many events, that people disgraced and hated at first, but over time people came to knew that they were utterly wrong and hate themselves for criticizing for what that people or events which were so beyond that time that they were classified as total nonsense and madness. Flat earthers, people whenever they heard long time ago that earth was sphere by some fellow who knew what others can't ever think of in their life, just laugh at him and call him a mental fellow. But with time, the whole world knew they were wrong and he was right. But they can't do anything except sobbing and showing remorse, because that fellow is no more then. Heliocentric model of solar system is another example and story of Nicola Tesla and Edison is another. Over time we came to knew the reality, and how these people thought way ahead of their time, and gave us that knowledge which seemed like pure fantasy stuff.
    Last of Us 2 is one of them, and i can't explain how brutal but impactful and captivating this game is, and i have never played something like this ever in my life. The first game showed us the story that everyone wants, a loving bond between 2 people who don't know each other but still put their lives on tip of knife just to protect each other and have a happy ending. The second game continues on that impactful story, just this time we see a story that everyone gets. When it's pandemic, the world is destroyed to a extent in which last of us take place, their are no heroes and no villains. Life is equally harsh on everyone, and no one has got special powers so he can never die. When there is such a pandemic and you lost your loved one forever, you don't see who killed your loved one, you don't care how big noble person he is, it doesn't matter to you whether he was just defending himself, you just see him as your enemy and that whats this game is all about. Due to the pandemic, the people ethics have fallen to lowest level, that is they only care about whom they are familiar with, and that is the first level of caring. People watched the original game story from Joel's perspective, but if you make a player play the story of abby's only from part two, who has no prior experience or knowledge of part one, then for them Abby is a hero and Ellie and Joel are villain. Cause in this pandemic when everything is harsh and brutal, you only have your family and friends whom you can trust. And even when they die, you are just left with remorse and thirst for revenge. With no moral or crime system, people are free. And this is what part 2 shows us. It doesn't tell the story of one person only, but thousands and thousands of other people too, who are just looking for a reason to survive too, and it want to establish a fact that no one is a HERO, everyone is just doing, what a normal person would do on that particular event. The whole game is beautifully crafted. Being able to save myself from any kind of spoilers, i enjoyed the game to it's full extent and every second cinematic feels 100% true, except few sex scenes which could be true but were inappropriately added, which just soured my experience, everything else was what Naughty Dog is renowned for. I specially like the character Lev, and he just made me remembered of Ellie, who just protected herself and Joel, but this thirst for revenge only made her a monster. There are many things in game, which are so deep in meaning but can't be recognized by every player. Due to words limit i have to finish writing here only, but if you are one of those people who hate this just because of Opinions, then you are missing a great experience which you will never be able to experience on first place, as you are spoiled. My gratitude from deep heart to ND:)    … Expand

    Graphics are amazing, but the game is far too long. More, the story is very confusing and very detached from the first game. The enemies are seemingly psychic, which breaks the illusion.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People are honestly just mad because the game revolves around a lot between Ellie and Dina’s lesbian relationship. But honestly, if the developers want the audience to feel attached to a brand new character, that’s what they have to do. It’s a bit overboard for someone like me who doesn’t really see this much LGBT representation in media, but I see what they did and I respect it. If something happens to Dina, how do they expect the audience to feel something for her they same way if something were to happen to Joel or Ellie in the first game? There’s a lot of people that love the game, they’re just not the one searching the internet for spoilers and the opinions of others, and are currently still playing the game for THEMSELVES.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Все, кто поставил 0 этой игре, вы в своём уме? Из-за двух намеков на ЛГБТ у вас крыша полетела. Вы не замечаете прекрасной картинки, огромного технического труда, красивого дизайна мира, живых персонажей, чувственного сюжета и взрослого. За каждый поступок следует наказание, которое Джоэл и получил, а в концовке получила и Элли. Я люблю Джоэла, я рыдал, когда его убила эта баба, но когда я дальше прошёл и понял причину, то осознал, что это полностью вина Джоэла, он сам на это решился в первой части и получил во второй. Игра имеет огромный моральный посыл и после концовки даёт поразмыслить над произошедшей историей. Элли мстит за Джоэла, так как и Джоэл хотел спасти Элли в первой части, он убивал всех без раздумий, только ради неё, потому что любил её. Во второй части она не смогла спасти его, но решила мстить и также без раздумий убивала. Как Джоэла настигла кара, так и Элли. Эта история очень крепкая и намного взрослее, чем в первой части, которая была построена на любви и привязанности, на детской восторженности, даже во время апокалипсиса. Во второй же всё наоборот: грусть, отчаяние, безысходность - всё, что преследует тебя по прохождению. Элли уже не маленькая девочка и она полностью осознаёт всю угрозу этого мира, всю его опасность, теперь нет места восторгу, теперь только выживание... Эта часть прекрасна, все кто её засрал только из-за ЛГБТ-повесточки - те полные кретины. Игра взрослая, кроме Эбби, у которой огромные бицепсы и трансгендера, нет больше ничего! Ориентация Элли ещё в первой части установилась и в дополнении ''Left Behind''. Так что ничего удивительного в её отношениях с Диной нет. И место в Сиэтле.. Там и в реальной жизни есть такие же указатели, флаги и т.д. Боже, стоит только за что-то ухватиться, так сразу все начинают срать продукт, несмотря на всё остальное, видя только сраные повестки! Люди, вы не в себе, лечитесь, а игра отличная, безумно рад, что она по сюжету именно такая, это всё приводит к логическим завершениям. Если вы хотели, чтобы вторая часть была такой добренькой и хорошенькой, чтобы абсолютно ничего не происходило, то вы забыли в каком мире живут персонажи.… Expand

Now while I havent finished the game I can tell you that so far the game has been a masterpiece from the intense situations and the story so fa. Great controls and visuals with certain RPG elements. I cant wait to see how the rest plays out.

    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.
