Not to criticise too much as with what he gave us was still a great game. The Last of Us Part 1 was a better story with a closer connection to characters and emotion. The Last of Us Part 2 was missing some key things in the story, which in my opinion was the misleading advertising. Shouldn’t have been done. But I still recommend the game 100%, long and intense, much more scary and action filled, making my skin shiver in excitement for what is to come of the future of the franchise. Still my favourite franchise. Recommend to play!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I fininhed de first one, immediately I started to think what was about to happen, if everything would stay ok, was open, but I realized that this was the best way to end... And to be sincere, I never wanted a second game. When I had The Last of Us Part 2 in my hands, And started the menus, I had fear of what was coming, this never happened before, so I immediatelly understand why Part 2. Playing it, I was aware that something would happen with Joel in the beginning, but not certain about his death, and then, he is killed, so easy... I felt impotent, so do Ellie, and there I got what was about, and that it means I was playing a game that try to be better than your first one in all the ways, and that is inside the game history too, we need to be the better of ourselves everyday, and the thing is, we can be better noticing who we are everyday, who we were. The game is better than your first one at everything, and reinforce the idea of the first one, in a way that you cant ran off... The idea of that in real life there are no hero, and we are people, and the characters there are meant to be people, thing that we rarely see in blockbusters of other medias.
    Like I said, Joel dies easily, but when I try to put my self in his place, things should most likely go worse... That time, there was no lucky, he could say a false name, but maybe they did before, but with years of travelers, and everything well, maybe that was the fisrt time on the spur of the moment, they just did what they did... This could happen in the reality, and in other situations always happens.

    Gameplay - On the harder difficult I could ran well, because the mechanics runs so good that I could handle easily with the enemies, mainly with the stealth.

    Graphics - I cant believe that they did it again, like the firt one, we had the game in the generation finals, and the games somteimes looks likes the new generations trailers we had, we could easyly show to someone and tells it is from PS5

    History - I had good moments, and very hard moments with this game, some people must confuse it, frustrating with it doesn't mean its not good, at least with me, they achieved what I think they wanted, I could hate and not hate anymore, and I could dislike someone I love, felt the losses, didnt have time to cry because I was in shock most of time... Thing could have been different, but they wasnt, as do life goes, and as do Joel quotes.

    I hope we have more audacity that way in industry, because when a thing is meant to be good as art, the artists are trying to be the better of themselves, and sometimes art tries to mirror the reality, and sometimes people dislike it and doesnt know, they are disliking reality.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here I am trying to compensate the unfair review bombing this game is getting. I waited until finishing the game to read what the user scores and what Im seeing a lot is players who didn't like the story because is not what they wanted for the characters.

    In the end I think that,same as movies, we need to remember that this game we are just along for the ride that Naughty Dog team wanted to tell.

    For example,as many, I started hating Abby but by the end I was rooting for her and make me feel unsured whose side I wanted to win.

    In short,I would recommend everyone to play it ,the experience is well worth it    … Expand

За основной сюжет (который на мой субъективный взгляд лучше, смелей и оригинальней чем в первой части) написаный Нилом Дракманном (сценаристом серии Uncharted и первой части  The Last of us) и Хэлли Гросс (сценаристом 1-го сезона сериала West World), персонажей которые ЛОГИЧНО и ОБОСНОВАННО выписаны в мир и сюжет игры, работу актёров, аниматоров, level-дизайнеров и в целом всей команды Naughty Dog, игра не смотря на все свои минусы стоит своих 8 баллов. Игру я прошел 3 раза и нет сомнений что в ней есть спорные моменты, но тот спектр эмоций которые я испытал играя в неё, может подарить не каждая игра и как жалко что такой проект тонет в пучине безосновательной агрессии направленной от людей которые давно придумали себе ''идеальное'' продолжение, а также из-за некоторых блогеров и журналистов которым выгодно подпитывать ненависть людей к этой игре, чтобы потом смело говорить : '' Всё кто высоко оценили игру были куплены Sony, а вот мы честные и независимые!

    This game was a lot of fun. I had a blast. The story was good, but it was depressing. It wasn't bad. It examines the two sides in any revenge story. It had great flashbacks. Hopefully we'll get single-player DLC that takes place between part 1 and part 2. Reminds me of Kill Bill for some reason.

There are really awesome. I guess my friends who has disability can play this game! He could not play shooter game so far, but now he will be able to do. Thank you so much Naughty Dog!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an incredible, generation-defining game. To those who feel upset that it's not an "ideal" story, and that you don't end up liking any of the characters – that's entirely the point. Nobody is right in war and violence, everybody has their reasons for doing things – however irrational they may be – and in a post-apocalyptic world that they're living in, everybody is just trying to cope.

    There is both beauty and brutality throughout the game. A number of characters are given satisfying arcs, sometimes ending all too soon. We go from one "side" to another, unable to decide who it is we truly care about. We're forced to empathise with both sides of the story, which is something clearly more of us need to do.

    I'm sorry that some people out there are sad that a certain character isn't a big part of this game. Perhaps they should replay Part 1 if they need to scratch that itch. Once they're done scratching, I hope they come to realise that Part 2 is an infinitely more rich and immersive game that doesn't rely simply on rehashing the original.    … Expand

    There is something seriously wrong with the gaming community if they **** all over the hard of work people because of stuff like that. People work their ass for years and then some little entitled dickheads want to **** all over it. Some people need to get a life or at least get their head out of their ass and educate themselves about game development before being idiots like that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly I would say that people are confusing a game with a story they didn't like with a game that is trash. Yes this story wasn't what alot of people where expecting but that in no way makes it bad. Naughty Dog told the story they wanted to tell and for me it was an absolute privilege to play through it. The most important thing to me about a games story is that it has to make me feel something and I can safely say this game succeed in that. I was looking forward to seeing the progression of Ellie and Joels relationship so when Joel died I was deeply saddened... But thats a good thing and made the moments you spend with Joel in the game even more heartbreaking and I loved it and by the end of the game I was deeply satisfied by the progression of their relationship. This game isn't afraid to make you feel sad and for some gamers that isn't what they want out of a game but as a filmaker I adore this level of storytelling. I really can't find the words for how much I enjoyed the story, all aspects of it, the quiet moments between Ellie and Tommy, the guitar playing with Dina etc. Such a beautiful story that I imagine took a herculean effort from everyone at naughty dog to make. The voice acting and mocap where stunning, the soundtrack is gorgeous, graphically the game boggles my mind with how good it is. I will admit that for the first maybe 20mins playing as Abby I was unsure about how I felt but she quickly grew on me and was a fantastic addition to the game as she is a beautifully flawed character questioning her morals and her and Ellies collision is beautiful once you know what they both took from eachother.

    I really love this game. Just because it isn't the story some people wanted doesn't make it a bad story/game and I find myself getting frustrated with peoples criticisms. For me this game took around 30+ hours to complete and for everyone negative review that was posted on day of release I find it really hard to believe that all of those people completed the game in less than 24 hours. The review bombing is immature and paints a distorted picture of how good this game is.

    Dine and Eliies relationship was perfect, they complement eachother so well and in the absence of Joel I was more than happy exploring with Dina. And as Abby getting to play alonside her friends was also a blast. Again I love that this game made me feel emotions and it isn't a bad thing because of it. If people want to play a story that isn't complex and challenging to comprehend emotionally then thats fine but you can't bomb the game in response.

    I love every aspect of this game and cannot wait to replay it (thanks btw for having new game+). This game made me feel sad, angry, frustrated, happy etc and its truly beautiful and is my game of the year without a doubt. Everyone at NaughtyDog I thank you all for this masterclass in storytelling and gaming, you have once again raised the bar so good luck with your next project :).    … 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.
