    If you go into this game blindly and you have any amount of empathy, you'll probably love it by the time you finish it. I think it is a masterpiece. Don't believe the senseless hate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After some time past and I have finally finished playing this masterpiece I have time to write a review. Objectively speaking the game earns 10 out of 10. And even if we consider the fact that the first part of this game was an unrepeatable masterpiece and a Magnum Opus from ingenious Neil Druckman, the Last of Us part 2 comes insanely close to this border. The game is huge and enhanced at least 3 time in comparison with the first part. It affected both story and locations. When first time you enter the Center of Seattle you are amazed by such a huge sizes of map. Your first thousghts accompanied by extraordinary amazement and euphoria, "wait this should be the main location where story takes place". With an excitement you look for resources, cards and other stuff because game wants tyou to do. Game is not easy and casual and you have to do your best to adequtely spend resources. Each shot is done by risk. Each bullet costs. SO you enjoy searching for loot. Locations are not easy and usually are accompanied by enemies like uneasy zombies, people and even dogs. Each type of enemy requires you to choose different style of playing. And this is plus. By the walkthrough you would visit the most of the places of the entire Seattle and this is not all. Game is insanely big and wide. It is not just a corridor shooter, but a really interesting stells action. In terms of mechanics game offers interesting amount of ways to play. You can crawl under cars, under grass. You can break windows and other stuff. And in terms of level design it is also interesting. Story telling and musical accompanement are one of uppermost important features in the game. Story is not too fast and not to hectic. It takes you from the beginning and scurpulously opens its cards. The philosophical idea that lies below the game is interesting. And narrative directors did a really good job. Many times you would think that the game is going to end. But it has more to show you. Sometimes you might get bored but accident plot twist will not allow you to get so. In terms of sounds and musical accompaniement, Gustavo is genious of music. All of the music in the are clearly in phase with the hard and uneasy story. The game will make you cry in some scenes. And the sound of guitar which represents the heaviness of the plot will blow up your emotions. And finally I don`t understand people yelling about this game. I really can`t see minuses except of some minor issues. But at all I can`t see the game by their eyes. Before the game I haven`t entered metacritic to not to destroy my expectations. So my opnion is fully objective. 10/10 magnum opus, great job Naughty dog, I think to repeat such an achievement would be hard.… Expand

    Отличнейшая игра с замечательной графикой (лучшей в этом поколении), потрясной анимацией, скрупулезным вниманием к деталям и неплохим вполне логичным сюжетом, поскольку после спасения Элли из госпитале, было совершенно естественно, что кто-нибудь захочет отомстить, все-таки человек 30 завалил мужик... Нормальный вполне сюжет, мне было очень интересно играть.

    Sadly, the writing - though it has its moments - is just not good enough for a story driven game. Some plot points are flat out bad. It’s always a problem when writers force their real life politics and ideologies in their games (regardless if it makes sense or adds to the story), just trying to educate the player how to think properly. TLOU2 is doing exactly that. It’s The Last Jedi and GOT S8 all over again. Since the story and the characters are the main selling point for this game, their quality will make up most of my rating score and as a fan of the original I couldn’t avoid the feeling that Part II isn’t just not written for me - i.e. fans of the original - but intentionally to piss me of; just as if the writers didn’t like the original and wanted to kill its legacy on purpose. I just feel cheated.
    The Gameplay is quite repetitive and doesn’t really come up with anything new in respect of the first part (Which isn’t really necessary to be fair)
    Overall it’s a beautiful looking disappointment of a game that had the potential for true greatness.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's no direct spoilers as such but I have put the spoiler warning on just for how I talk about a certain section or two. I have just finished my first playthrough of the Last of Us Part 2 and have played 46 hours and 37 minutes according to my autosave. It is a very worthy sequel to the original which I absolutely adore and is probably my all time favourite game. I absolutely love part 2. I was devastated early on, though I don't think I was surprised though in denial about what may come up until everything transpired, and it actually affected my mood going forward in to the beautiful settle. I suppose I was in a very sombre state and had cried in a way I hadn't cried at a game before. On top of crying, I laughed later on as I came out of my funk and then was in terrified at a section later on in the game. The game plays really well, and I love being able to go prone reminding me a bit of metal gear crawling through the greenery. There's quite a bit of as you'd expect gameplay wise and great story telling as you'd expect with a Naughty Dog game. It threw some unexpected twists as well, playing as other characters to get a different perspective on the situation. It's very gory at times, very bloody and certain things are wince enducing. It's a very brutal world and is portrayed very well and it's a game I highly recommend to anyone that loves story driven games with a stunning world.… Expand

    Nobody can deny the amazing visuals and overall quality of this game. That being said I don’t think Neil Druckman could of done a worse job with the story. The heavy handed liberal nonsense is pushed at you basically from the start. Terrible narrative which was such a large part of what made the first game great.

    How can you make an excellent game that engaged with our hearts so deeply and then without any justifiable reason, kill the main character? Seven years for proving that "humanity is cruel"? If I could return my copy of the game I would do it right now!

    Mr. Druckmann has defaced two of the greatest characters of the past decade. This is graffiti of the lowest kind, pure vandalism. His need for attention, cheap thrills, and complete lack of sensibilities has led to the creation of what amounts to little more than snuff porn.

    As for the game itself, there is no game. There never was - this game, as well as the previous one, were all about the story and the characters. And since that aspect didn't just fail, but actively antagonizes and spits in the faces of both new players and old fans alike, it doesn't have any saving grace.

    It's absolute garbage and the equivalent of someone taking a dump in the middle of the room.

    Story: 1/10 - it seems that the writers completely missed what made the original game good. This game disrespects characters, has others make irrational decisions that do not align with their personalities nor the plot, introduces new characters that are unfortunately irrelevant (sorry but we don't care about them), and lastly lacks any message/theme/point in the end. What is the takeaway from this game? What did we learn or think about? It contradicts all the takeaways of the original, it contradicts itself and its new narrative, and frankly it doesn't make sense at the end. Maybe next time Sony should have less political messaging in their game and more competent writers.    … Expand

TLOU 1 was a masterpiece, it was story like we never seen before, it was breathtaking. TLOU 2 is beautiful looking game and it has great gameplay. Well gameplay doesn't have much innovation, but it worked in TLOU1 so i am good, but i don't get what happened during development of this game. How could they give this story green light. The story itself is just a messy garbage. None of the characters are interesting NONE!!! When some character dies you feel nothing like they werent even there and they die a lot. I just don't get why would you follow first game story with a story about revenge it seems lazy. This whole theme revenge is bad it's stupid. half of the game is basically pointless it's just the same **** but from the enemy side. After finishing this game I just feel like i wasted 30 hours. iT was truly horrible experience and i hope everybody that reads this review will understand that this mess is not worth your time and money. I still have to give it a six for its gameplay and graphics… Expand

    Besides that, I'm really tired post-apocalyptic games/movies/shows where it's all about shock value. If you can't write something decent, you go for shock factor and that's pretty prevalent in this genre. This game turns that mantra up to 11 and unfortunately, tarnishes the first game in the process.

    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...
