    El desenlace de la historia no es lo que esperaba, pero me gusto mucho, algunos momentos un poco repetitivos, pero al final lo disfrute, con grandes gráficos, banda Sonora genial, y una historia muy humana.

    Хорошая графика
    Вот конечно сюжет немного странноват и есть сюжетные дыры.

    Yes, it's truly a masterpiece. No game has ever taken me on the emotional ride that The Last of Us 2 has. A bold, griping, sweeping, tale that leaves you questioning all of your early opinions and emotions. Games almost never make any effort to treat all major characters as wholly human. There is always a divide, the player exists on one side of that divide, and victory is its ownYes, it's truly a masterpiece. No game has ever taken me on the emotional ride that The Last of Us 2 has. A bold, griping, sweeping, tale that leaves you questioning all of your early opinions and emotions. Games almost never make any effort to treat all major characters as wholly human. There is always a divide, the player exists on one side of that divide, and victory is its own justification. It would have been easy for Naughty Dog to take this hackneyed approach but they do something very different. You SEE what they want to do early in the game, doubt that it will work, then end up amazed that it has. In the end, any discomfort you felt along that journey is so richly rewarded.

    Never mind the social justice warfare taking place outside of the game. It's worth playing no matter what your opinion is about such things.    … Expand

    Most of the critics which rate this game poor, just didn't expect what it gives. The story tells you not what you wanna see but what the real life could be. And it could be very dramatic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything outside of the plot and pacing is phenomenal. What ND was able to do with the PS4 hardware is very impressive and a ton of work.

    The gameplay is very good, controls great, level design fairly balanced.

    Where the game falls flat on it's face is provide a convincing plot. Essentially the game has you see all of the blow back of Joel basically exterminating the Firefly base. One of the surgeon's daughters is Abby, so from her perspective Joel is an awful person. She's hellbent on revenge which she obtains and experiences guilt. Over time both lead characters - Abby/Ellie - become aware of each other's perspective. The player gets to experience each first hand. Abby gradually grows and tries to make amends by helping Lev and pursue the Fireflies and help restore humanity/society.

    Based on what the game shows us with certainty, Ellie does not grow. After 2 years of living the good life on a farm, she effectively ends her marriage and goes on a weeks/months long quest to California to murder Abby. She finds that she's been emaciated as a slave and tortured for months. Abby still wants to leave it, but no - Ellie like a sociopath must kill. So many times I tried to walk away, and not initiate the final blow because it is so morally repulsive, but the game forces you to to end the game. She ultimately stops short of drowning Abby, but based on her return to the empty farm and leaving the farm, it's ambiguous about whether or not Ellie has grown at all as a person. Only from recent interviews do we see that she does. Had I not had that confirmation, I would have given this game a 6/10 because I have no interest in partaking in sociopathic murder porn. It's one thing to fight for survival or if the enemy doesn't give you a choice, but the game forces you to.

    Based on interviews, it's clear that they didn't make Ellie's PTSD a convincing enough excuse. Abby had PTSD too, but she grew. Also from the interviews - apparently until 18 months ago the ending was to kill Abby - whoever at ND changed that you saved the franchise, it would have been GoT all over again.    … Expand

    Amazing game. Ballsy storyline that the Neanderthals will (and do) hate. The "not my Luke Skywalker" brigade will always attack a story that portrays their "heroes" as flawed in anyway. It's the humanity that means something to a character's arc. The imperfection. The fallibility. This game is brilliant.

The gameplay first off is vastly improved, there's new mechanics that allow for better combat, stealth, etc. Graphics is out of this world and the soundtrack is truly amazing. And the overall theme of this game makes the first one seem like a Disney movie. Character development is key in this game too.… Expand

El final no me gusto (lo digo como fan del Tlou 1) , pero después fui asimilando el mensaje que querían dejar. Sigo triste y enojada por cómo terminó Ellie, "SOLA" por las acciones que tomó, y justo ese era su miedo "quedarse sola". Obviamente la historia no es mejor que Tlou 1, pero Tlou 2 no es malo.… Expand

    I would give this game a 10, but it's just not a 10. It does quite a few things wrong where I would put it in an 8.5-9 range. First of all, this game makes a lot of bold decisions, and it's because of these bold decisions why the user rating is so low, HOWEVER, I think some of these decisions were necessary for the game to work. Naughty Dog took a huge risk and I think it mostly paid off.I would give this game a 10, but it's just not a 10. It does quite a few things wrong where I would put it in an 8.5-9 range. First of all, this game makes a lot of bold decisions, and it's because of these bold decisions why the user rating is so low, HOWEVER, I think some of these decisions were necessary for the game to work. Naughty Dog took a huge risk and I think it mostly paid off. Unlike most people, I grew to love all of the characters and understood why they made the decisions that they did. I hated some characters at first, (some may know who I'm talking about) but put myself in their shoes and asked myself "What would I do?" and I always came to the exact same conclusion. I would do the exact same thing they did.

    The gameplay is the exact same as the first one, so if you liked the first game's gameplay, you'll like this one as it's a bit more enhanced and intense. If the game is too easy (like most reviewers say it is) I advise you turn the difficulty up. There are SO many accessibility options that NO one ever talks about. This game is insane with how much you can customize and look in to the options.

    I don't need to talk about graphics. Stunning. Best graphics I've ever seen on any console, ever.

    But the story. This story will only reach a few many. I can't advise everyone to buy this game, cause there is no 50/50 chance you will love or hate this game. I simply can't say it. Based on the reviews that I've seen here on metacritic. There is a 25% chance you will love this game, and a 75% chance you will hate it. And that's mainly because of the bold decision they take right at the beginning of the game. But if you have the balls to get through that, and not turn off your ps4 or uninstall the game, you will go through the rest of the game and see that it's not all that bad. You'll get the CONTEXT needed and by the 2nd half of the game, if you still don't sympathize with one of the main characters, than there's a good chance you just can't/ won't see what the game is trying to do. That is where I believe Naughty Dog kind of failed, and why I'd give this game an 8.5. That, coupled with the BIG scene at the beginning of the game that should've gone down differently. Luckily for me though, I saw where Naughty Dog was going with this story.

    A lot of people may write this story off as some stupid revenge story, but it's much more than that, it's a revenge plot that does something different that I've seen very little people seem to notice. It's infuriating to me, but if you haven't bought the game yet I suggest you give it a try. Don't listen to the crap reviews.

    Notice how the positive reviews are going up more than the negative reviews each and every day because more and more people are PLAYING through the whole game, and understanding it for what it actually is. That's all I'm going to say.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed the game. Almost every single second of it.

    Gameplay 10/10
    Atmosphere 10/10
    Graphics&Audio 10/10
    Characters 10/10
    Story 8/10

    I liked the Story and character-progression a lot. I'm just not a huge fan of the ending. Thats why it isnt a 10/10.

    So my overall Rating would be 48/50 (or 96/100)

    And im already going into the New game + to get the platinum trophy.

    Město a krajina jsou úžasně zpracované. Příběh postupně mnohé vysvětluje a doplňuje z prvního dílu, posléze i co se dělo mezi jednotlivými díly. A příběh založený jen na pomstě? Proč ne. Alespoň jde vidět, co všechno člověk může ztratit když za něčím jde bezhlavě. Pasáže kdy jsem více fandil Abby než Ellie byly taky výborně zpracované. Za mě není hře co vytknout.    … Expand

    Terrible storyline, instantly killing off a main beloved character in the most simple and meaningless way, forcing player to play as the most unlikeable antagonist, total disregard of main fanbase, overtly unnecessary sexual cut scene, pushing agendas... And finally, Zero payoff for the player end game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сюжет игры не для всех. Он расчитан на людей с некоторым опытом и мирровозрением. Нас заставляют почувствовать ненависть и злость к врагам, после чего игрок идет к своей цели убежденный в правильности своих порывов. Затем игрока и Элии постепенно подводят к очередным поражениям и заставляют сомневаться в правильности своих действий. Далее в момент шока и недосказанности игрока заставляют взглянуть на ситуацию с другой стороны. Игрок не обязан симпатизировать Эбби но он должен понять ее мотивы и увидеть к чему приводит путь жестокости. Ее жизнь рушиться, у нее остаеться последний человек который ей дорог и нас снова побуждают к мести но Эбби вовремя останавливаеться и видит что после может быть еще хуже. Следом к этой черте невозрата и выводу подводят и игрока. Нам показывают Элли которая осела с Диной на ранчо и они живут вполне спокойной жизнью. Здесь игроком ожидаеться хотя бы какой то скудный хэппи энд но игроку внезапно показывают, что Элли по прежнему не свыклась с утратой и что ее мучает чувство вины и посттравматический синдром. Она снова убежденна в своей правоте а игрок закатывает глаза говоря, что ты только все испортишь, прекрати. Она добираеться до Эбби и на секунду кажеться что Элли отпустит ее видя что враг уже настрадался, но тут снова дает о себе знать расстройство при которых люди действуют импульсивно и необдуманно. Она почти завершает месть но не переходит черту подумав о Джоэле. Она не прощает Эбби. Только игрок возможно проникся если не уважением и симпатией к ней то точно ознакомленн с ее мотивацией. Элли не переходит черту из за того, что наконец отпускает чувство вины и уходит. В конце игрок и Элли ощущают грусть, тоску и пустоту которая усиливаеться пустым домом и очередными разрушенными отношениями из за одержимости человека какой то плохой идеей.
    Так же в игре показанны(максимализированны) типичные недопонимания родителей и детей (Элли зла на Джоела, который ее любит и ею дорожит) проблема как раз этой фанатичности что тоже рушит отношения(Оуен и Эбби, Элли и Дина, Томми и Мари).
    Для меня почему то особенно остро было наблюдать за психологической травмой Элли и ее попытка простить Джоэла как родителя.
    Эта игра плоха только некими мелкими шераховатостями либо тем что этот сюжет не для всех, его нужно почувствовать и понять что он работает так как нужно, он делает тебе больно выжимая и приводя к подобию отвращения, напряжения и отпускания.

    Здесь подойдут поговорки вроде: "имея не ценим-потерявши плачем" либо любимая призсказка всех родителей, которая бесит и меня:вырастишь - поймешь))    … 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.

    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]
