    The story was amazing. Don't listen to the triggered idiots. It's THAT good and maybe even netter.

    Качественное развитие идей первой части в плане геймплея - множество новых геймплейных механик которые разнообразят прохождение. Да это не прорыв для индустрии, но отличный уровень. Графика, анимации и все что связано с визуалом просто восхитительно, высший уровень! Сюжет сложный, запутаный и за ним весьма интересно следить, то как он играет с эмоциями игрока ещё не делала ни одна игра!

    I can’t rate this game bad or else I can’t post it, but I’m not a bot like the rest of the 10/10 posts. Naughty Dog, you can’t simply continue a game and break it. Don’t fix something that isn’t broken. Not only did you break the story but you failed to fix it.

    Last of Us is my favorite game and this review is the best review you're gonna get because half of these people are just doing it because it's the trend. Rating this game below a five is a joke and you're just being ridiculous. Let's start with positives, The core game play of Last of Us 2 is phenomenally the developers make there areas with multiple options to conquer there tasks ahead. The developers in this game filled their world with lots of secrets for people who find themselves to either wonder in the vast world of Seattle or people who really like to explore and know naughty dog fills their worlds with items to find. Finding a guitar where elle plays a cover of take on me or finding secret safes where you would have to find clues to find the code made The Last of Us 2 feel rewarding in that aspect. You get to upgrade your guns and find new ones on your continuous journey with also upgrading your skills. Also, the games is very beautiful and feels polished and has it's lovable characters but that is all the positives for this game which is most of the game. Now the biggest negative is the story if you never played or cared for the first game like the critics this would be a 10/10 but for the Users the people who really loved this game seeing a sequel and it's story being so broken and not for filing made everyone very outraged. The Story of The Last of Us 2 isn't bad it's just how they did it. Using characters known by the community to be used for the plot is ok if you do it right but how they did it was disgraceful and just a punch in the face for the core fans. Also elle seems to had have a personality switch which felt off compared to the lovable goof she was in the first game but of course she was also a bad ass. Elle in this game feels like she's very self centered and kinda of a all about what she has to do. This bothered most people because they rushed through the game but if you took time in the game Elle seemed to be the same old Elle through separate optional dialogue. Another main problem is that people play these games for the relationship with Joel and Elle and Joel is not really seen or used in this game how we would've liked to see. My main problem with this game is abby, the problem I have with abby is that naughty dog makes her feel like a McDonalds rip off of elle and I HATE THAT, also after spending so much time going through the three days of Seattle with a character I enjoyed, I have to play as Abby and see her prospective of life and what she did. I just couldn't do it I hate abby's character and think she would've been better if we didn't have to play as her. Overall The Last of US 2 is great with it's core mechanics and if you don't care about story I'd give it a 10/10 I enjoyed the game mechanics that much and the vast world and all the secrets to find. Unfortunately I care about the story and it makes it a 5/10 because Playing as Abby in my opinion is just unbearably difficult and also the absence of the Joel and Elle duo, Which is why people bought and enjoyed the last one, Isn't really utilized here which just makes this game feel so underwhelming.    … Expand

    I felt angry, sad, and mad. The exact emotions Ellie felt, and what pushed her forward. The writers wanted the player to experience those emotions as well, and I must say they succeeded. Even though I don't agree with how the story went, but I accept it since it's true to the world of ''TLOU''
    People who kill must be prepared to be killed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am genuinely upset and confused about this game. I loved the start, my first "why?" moment happened when I first played as Abby. I though, eh whatever, its just for this bit (boy was I wrong). I enjoyed the stoyy, the revenge that Ellie seeked for Joels brutal murder, yes i was sad and angry Joel was dead, but it's a dark world, he doesnt have plot armor. I loved every second playing as Ellie hunting down the group that was involved. However, forcing me to play as Abby was just a stupid decision. I dont care what agenda you have to show me Abbys side of the story, I played a 14 hour game as Joel, no matter what I see isn't going to make me sympathetic to his killer. Its a stupid and ridiculous choice to do this. It made me want to stop playing the game completely. Honestly, if you're a massive fan of the last of us, dont play this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I did not expect that Naughty dog would actually go there. I loved the atmosphere as always. The rainy, grungy feeling that Seattle has, together with Pearl Jam and Mark Lanegan songs, really did set the tone for me. I really liked the first half of the game. The second half of the game was the part that I liked the least since I really dislike Abby as a character. I never really cared about her past or motives. The fact that she did what she did to Joel made her automatically an enemy to my eyes. I really like how she suffered up to the very last minute. Also some deaths are extremely satisfying in chapter 3 and 4. Everyone that hasn't played it should definitely do so. Especially if you have played the first one. Do not pay attention to the noise. Naughty dog handled some issues very nicely and with respect. I disliked the fact that we play as Abby for quite a big part of the game, but I understand what the writers tried to do and I don't hate it.… Expand

    Me parece un juegazo, espectacular gráficamente y jugablemente, es atractivo, en todos los sentidos, la historia está contada de una forma espectacular, hacen una construcción de los personajes que es indispensable para entender el mensaje que el juego nos quiere dar, es un juego adulto y serio en las temáticas que aborda, motivo por el cual no lo entienden los niños que lo juegan

    Ok, let's be honest. This game is a BAD game becuase of it's story. And NO, there is no problem on the characters being LGBTQ+, if you think that's why this game is getting hate, then you are dumb.

    The game gets a lot of hate because it's an insult to their fans. Graphics 10/10 Mechanics 5/10 (same mechanics from the first game, a 2013 game really?) Story 1/10. I just broke the disc.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't know why people are hating this game so much. it's no the best game of course, it's not a masterpiece too but is a solid, fun game to play. Yes, sometimes the story it's weird or silly but that doesn't mean that the game is a 4.7 like currently is, it's not a 10 also but maybe a 7 or 8, yes, the game play is same as the first one with some improvements, not a game is perfect. But is fun man. A lot of games would love to have the graphics and the mechanics I mean for a PS4 to run it like it does it's pretty freaking awesome.
    The story is not the best but is not as awful as everyone is talking about. Yes, the ending is not as good I would like to be it could ended up when Ellie and Dina are in the farm and that's it.
    In my opinion The Last Of Us Part II is an 8.    … Expand

    This game has problems in pretty much every aspect of it. The gameplay has not evolved in any significant way since the first game, having additions that are pointless and/or are ripped off from other ND games.

The gameplay has not evolved in any significant way since the first game, having additions that are pointless and/or are ripped off from other ND games. In regards to this, the only welcome addition is the hability to "go prone" and being able to use guns when doing so, which creates interesting gameplay situations. The graphics are really good but that was obviously going to be the case since this a triple A title made a developer with plenty of resources, and yet I cannot give any credit for this aspect of the game because of the rather scarce but still present glitches that take you out of the immersion of the game just as fast as the scenery is able to pull you in, which is unacceptable in a game that spent more than 6 years in development and was delayed several times. Audio is also annoying at times, because the audio of characters gets cut off if you position youself in a slightly different way and step away from them. And the pacing also has severe problems, because there are plenty of sections where you have nothing to do, and you're just going from point A to point B, making the game extremely boring at times, which makes you just want to close the game. Others where you have to kill infected that all have their backs turned in your direction with some of them patrolling the area in obvious routes, making the stealth aspect a joke. If you want to have fun you have to go in guns blazing and even then it's more infuriating that anything else because of the lack of control provided by a controller. And except for these two scenarios you can out of a sudden have parts where the pacing of the game cranks up to 11, when you are either chasing someone or having to defend yourself from atackers. However, this being a Playstation title, in which both gameplay and graphics are rarely the focus (because of inherent hardware limitations), the game should have excelled with the story and characters, just like the first game did, and just like with the first game this could have easily not only saved the game, but turn it into an extremely more pleasurable experience, to be remembered for years and years to come. The problem is that these two aspects are the *worst* of the game. The characters from the first game behave nothing like they used to and those kinds of "out of character" situations are actively and fundamentally used to push the narrative forward, making the whole premise of the story utterly ridiculous and detached from the game's "reality". None of the characters have any kind of growth which makes for a pointless experience with predicatble occurrences at times. One of the best parts of the first game was precisely this, going along in the adventure, feeling yourself change, but watching the characters (especially but not only Joel and Ellie) changing as well alongside the player. This is a petty little revenge story (that could have been written by pretty much anyone), with a nihilistic and depressing tone that contrasts wildly with the first game, almost destroying any kind of positive message that it carried. My issue with this game is not that it is a grim experience, or the events that transpired, but the *way* it is portrayed and *how* everything happens. The grim nature of it raises *no* philosophical questions that make you think and that inspire dialogue (much unlike the fisrt game!!). The only thing it succeeds to portray is an overwhelming sense of meaninglessness making you feel empty and never truly fulfilled. The order by which the portions of the game happen feels out of place, with certain things happening way earlier, and others happening so late that you are no longer attached to what's happening, making for a boring experience. The first game is still today my favourite game of all time and now ND, in sevens years has completely butchered the love that I had for this IP. Never again will I go anywhere near a The Last of Us game, except of course for THE Last of Us.… Expand

    Where to start? Don't believe all the hype behind this game and fake reviews by gaming journalists our there. The entire story is forced upon us. For what? To fit the political agenda. It's a shame, first game is the greatest game of all time in my opinion. I'll just pretend there was never a part 2 to begin with.

    Take the poor reviews with a grain of salt. It’s the vocal minority striking again. This game is not for everyone. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s not for people who can not see things from another person’s perspective. It was hurt by leaks that weren’t true and were taken out of context. It doesn’t make the characters from the last game “the bad guy.” It let’s let’s you decide.Take the poor reviews with a grain of salt. It’s the vocal minority striking again.

Because good vs evil is not how the world works. Unfortunately, people believe that if enough people agree on something, that makes it true. Tell that to flat earth believers. The game is not perfect. But nothing is. I had a blast playing it. It was a roller coaster of emotions. It was scary. It was tense. It was breathtaking and at times, infuriating.

    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]
