    A great example of how great work of programmers, designers and actors can be ruined by one person.
    I really enjoyed the gameplay, visuals and even the plot of this game. But some of the moments were really disgusting. And this was enough to cross out all the positive emotions.

    This was a terrible, awful, and disgusting game. So bad I took it to my local gun club and all the members at the club shoot it to pieces with 20/12 gauges. The story is awful, the fandom is toxic waste, and the mechanics/performance are about as good as fallout 76

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not going to lie but this game doesn't desserve the zero im giving it. But with all the review bombing that's bringing the score up Im trying to balance it out. This game was very disappointing with how they decided to go with the story. You only enjoy playing the first few hours until your beloved character gets killed by one of the characters you sill be forced to play as for the rest of the game. This game was an absolute piece of garbage despite it having a beautiful scenary and accessible gaming features. Had the story been properly written it would desserve a 10 in my books but as it is this game should have never been made and only serves to further other peoples political agenda. Don't buy this game unless you get it from a second person like ebay because it would be better to not give these arrogant jerks (cough cough neil druckman) any more of our moneh.… Expand

    The only reason I gave this gave a rating above a 0 is because of the graphics and animation. Those are the best I've ever seen on a console game before, but if I am reviewing about story, its a 0 from me dawg. I honestly dont know what went on over at Naughty Dog with this game, if you are expecting the same type of story, character ark, forget about it. The name is what sells this POS.

The characters you have learned to love were treated in part 2 unworthily. Abbie's part could have been perfect for a DLC and a foretaste of the future multiplayer mode. Would have rather seen Joel's and Ellie's story together. I don't mind if certain characters are treated. But ND has forgotten how important the 1st part was for many!

    Can't say its better than the first installment. Because it makes the first even better. It completes the story making both games merge into one. A great but heavy experience analysing the worst and best aspects of human nature. A must play for all fans of story driven games. For a real survival experience I would suggest the hardest difficulty options. The lower ones are way too generous.

    On the technical side nothing to say, really, everything was improved.

Except for the stealth, they somehow decided sneaking past was not acceptable anymore and you're forced to kill basically everyone to survive the transition to the next area. Weird, but OK. On the story side, everything was worse. Too many forgettable characters popping up everywhere, that the story wanted you to care about no matter what and tried so, so hard to humanise. They also tried to make give Abby-Lev relationship as much weight as the original duo, Joel-Ellie, but failed miserably first and foremost because that relationship developed in the span of three days or so, and that's kind of unrealistic. Abby going on a killing spree against the people she'd been living with most of her life, to protect a kid she's just met from a faction she's been conditioned to hate and trained to kill is definitely the cherry on top of this mess of a story. The pacing was all over the place, leaving you on a cliffhanger for almost half of the game. Characters making stupid and highly questionable choices, as if they forgot what a world they're living in and in complete discord with what they were in the first game is a lazy way to try and make the point of the story valid. Story aside, this game was extremely unenjoyable simply because they got rid of the stealth I loved so much in the first game, that allowed you to choose whether to sneak past or kill the threats. Extremely disappointed by part 2 and the time I spent playing this was 100% wasted.… Expand

    The Last Of Us Part ll - это произведение искуства над которым работали СОТНИ разработчиков.

    1. Графика 10/10; эта игра не сравнится не с одной игрой, ну может только с "Red ded redemption," персонажи выглядят как реальные люди, текстуры на максимальном уровне и локации очень живописные. 2.Саундтреки 10/10; Они очень душевные и иногда пробивает, и очень вписываются в общий геймплей.    The Last Of Us Part ll - это произведение искуства над которым работали СОТНИ разработчиков.

    1. Графика

    10/10; эта игра не сравнится не с одной игрой, ну может только с "Red ded redemption," персонажи выглядят как реальные люди, текстуры на максимальном уровне и локации очень живописные.

    2.Саундтреки

    10/10; Они очень душевные и иногда пробивает, и очень вписываются в общий геймплей.
    Например: какой-то грустная каст цена очень трогательный саундтрек.

    3.Сюжет

    10/10; он очень длинный и интересный сюжет который описывает персонажей сначала с одной стороны а потом с другой стороны, вот например Эбби, её все возненавидели потому что она убила Джоела, но она его убила изо того что он убил отца Эбби спасая Элли от смерти в больнице. Весь сюжет крутится во круг мести за кого то, Эбби отомстила за своего отца убив Джоела, а Элли хотела отомстить Эбби за убийство Джоела. Всю игру нам показывали как персонажи игры пытались друг другу отомстить за ковото, и Нилл Дракмен показывает то что если ты над чем-то зацикливается над чем-то то нужно останавливаться потому что это может прести к проблемам например со здоровьем, в игре это месть Элли всю игру шла к Эбби этобы этомстить ей за смерть Джоела и в этоге когда Элли шла вместе с Диной, Элли по дороге убила всех друзей Эбби, и всё это эз за месте к Эбби, и в этоге Элли оставила Эбби в живых потому что у Эбби остался только Лев.

    4.Персонажи

    10/10; Персонажи очень вырожено показыны в игре, Элли покоза взрослой вечно недовольной женщищиной; Джоел который стал более мудрым и спокойным папой для Элли; Дина которая хочет хорошей жизни и счастливой семьи; Джеси который вечно крутится вокруг других чтобы кому-то помочь; Томми который крутится постоянно с женой налаживая порядок в семье, ну и токдалие.

    5.Вывод

    The Last Of Us Part ll это шедевр над которым работали 7 лет не покладая рук, Нил Дракмен показывает в игре что нужно останавливаться и не решать всё местью и чтобы дружить с другими людьми которых ты абсолютно не понимаешь.    … Expand

Don’t let the negative reviews fool you liked they did I. As a huge fan of the first game since 2013, seeing articles of the spoilers of Part II & it’s characters before ever getting my hands on the game left a sour taste in my mouth and made it hard for me to enjoy playing it after I bought it on release day. But everything the internet told me was a lie (Who would’ve known) besides Joel getting killed with a golf club. Yes it made me sick at first, but honestly, whoopty **** doo. Yes, he was a beloved character and still has a near & dear spot in my gaming heart, but he really deserved his death. Ever since the end of the first one when he lied to Ellie, I knew it was coming. He became the villain & set it all in place. What they did with this game was impressive on all fronts, from the story & characters to the upgraded and elevated graphics & gameplay from the first game (which everybody loved but somehow complain about now with the 2nd when it’s literally the same execution, twice as refined with more versatility & options in combat.) The next lie is that Abby is Transexual. No. She’s a straight women who trains extensively in the gym to get a warriors physique in the sick world she lives in. You boys just aren’t grown enough to enjoy female characters you aren’t attracted to. All In all. The hate this game receives is **** criminal and I highly suggest getting the upgrade for it on PS5. Engaging, thought & emotion provoking, grotesque experience worth playing through. 10 out of 10.… Expand

    Naughty Dog betrayed the expectation of the TLOU fans. This should be a store that has nothing to do with Joe and Ellie. I'll never buy any Naughty Dog games, and any games direct by Neil Druckman. And I'll tell all my friends not to do so.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us an amazing game, one that has been extremely influential on most story-driven games today. With acting that’ll make you melt, an incredibly detailed and gorgeous world and an absolute revolutionary story, The Last of Us became an instant classic. After years and years of waiting for the sequel to this groundbreaking title, it’s finally here - and it’s glorious.

    The incredible voice acting is back, and it’s really Ashley Johnson as Ellie, and Laura Bailey as Abbey who completely destroy every single scene they’re in. There are so many constantly changing and evolving motifs (such as the guitar) that run beautifully throughout the story, and writing that challenges any blockbuster movie. The graphics, animations and sound design are easily the best I’ve seen in any video game. The gameplay completely elevates and annihilates that original’s, with an infinite increase in variety in how you approach different missions. But really it’s not these things that people are mad about. So what did I think about the story? It’s absolutely fantastic. Now, I think everybody knew Joel was gonna die. But it’s not until you see it that it really makes an impact. That scene is so brutal and heartbreaking, but never have I felt so emotionally attached to a character in any form of entertainment. The emotional connection that you build with Ellie in this game is groundbreaking. It felt like anything she felt, I felt, and the same with abbey. And so after that I wanted revenge, I wanted to kill those **** that killed Joel. But then halfway through the game they do something completely revolutionary - they make me play as the person who killed Joel. Now this to me is the greatest achievement of the Last of us: making me sympathize with Abbey and making me realize that everyone is the hero of their own story. Abbey’s part of the story is not quite as airtight as Ellie’s, but it’s really the writing, and some incredible scenes (like the one against Tommy) that made me love her. In the final battle between Ellie and Abbey, I feel like the game gave me everything I needed to make me want both to survive.

    Story - 10/10
    Graphics, animations and sound design - 10/10
    Writing - 10/10
    Gameplay - 10/10

    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.
