    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I give it 1 only because ps5 version works great in 60fps. Other than that it is a waste of time and money. I do not know what was in the director's head but the way how Joel was killed and the fact that for the rest of the game you are forced to play his killer - Abby makes me sick. How the **** someone was thinking that this would be a good story. I am so upset. I wish i could refund.… Expand

    Worse than corona virus, don't ever buy it. Better play the first game and be done with it.

    1 point for decent graphic and 1 for optimization. Story is awful, the game is too bloody and there is too much violence in it. The characters, like the story, have degraded compared to the first part. Don't play or buy this game.

    Как всегда очень крутая детализация окружения от ноти дог! Игра очень сильно погружает в свою атмосферу. Локации интересные в которых интересно перестреливаться и стелсить. Анимации на самом высоком уровне. Каждое оружие ощущается по своему, импакт отличный от попаданий. Ближний бой очень сочный. По сюжету вопрос нет. Мотивация главных героев для меня лично понятная.

    1/10 for the technical aspect, well done to anyone involved as an artist/designer.

    Its just that the story is so bad, that i never want to play it again. The characters are boring and have nothing to do with the ones from part 1, except visually of course. The world building is nonsensical and boring. The advertisement and those trailers ND showed before had nothing to do with the final product. Outright fraud in my opinion. In no way is this a organic continuation of the first one, or a opportunity to reconnect to the characters youve grown to like.

    All those praises from the "official gaming journalism" just shows how much those is worth these days. If i could have gotten my money back, i definitly and gladly would have given the game back. Naughty dog hasnt seen a single dollar from me since then, and they likely never will again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can never think of giving 1/10 to a game like this. The technical execution is impeccable, BUT the plot is disgusting. I don't blame the agenda for this, I blame the fact when you play as the character who killed your favorite character from the first part. When a screenwriter makes Abby understand, it's disgusting. All attempts to justify Abby are worthless. I was sincerely glad when her friends died. Since the obsessed with revenge was NOT ELLIE, but ABBIE. WHO PREPARED FOR REVENGE MOST OF ALL? ELLIE OR ABBIE? I am sorry that I played THIS… Expand

    Uma porcaria de jogo. Ainda bem que eu não gastei 1 real nesse lixo, peguei emprestado e parei de jogar na metade de tão tedioso que é. História mal feita, cheia de furos e coincidências, personagens descaracterizados, personagens mal usados. Jogo feito pra agradar críticas e não aos fãs do The Last of us 1, só vendeu bem porque os fãs do 1 foi no hype. Uma decepção total.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly don't get why everyone is so upset with this game. I knew from the beginning that Joel would die anytime soon, so it wasn't really a suprise to me. If Joel would've been kept alive throughout the entire game, the storyline would've been so much less interesting. In other words, it would've been exactly like the first Last Of Us game. Abby and all the other new characters were NOT badly written. Getting to know completely new characters does not have to be a bad thing, especially with (for example) Abby's backstory. The only thing I have to agree on is that the ending could've been a bit different due to the logic behind it (or lack thereof), but that's still not a reason to hate this masterpiece of a game. The graphics are a 10/10. The Last Of Us Part II is one of the best games I've played.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m late to the party but I just finished the game.

    Here’s a wrap up:
    Story 10/10
    Graphics 10/10
    Gameplay 6/10

    At first, I was angry after Joel died. I wasn’t even sure if I’d play through the whole game. I felt angry, shocked and…confused.

    I think it shows how Naughty Dog wrote an amazing script.

    Characters had interesting background stories. The diversity was great and Ellie and Abby were two strong females leads.

    My only issues is the redundancy in the gameplay. I felt I was doing the same thing over and over again. If there’s another chapter, I’d think about changing the gameplay or controls.

    To conclude, I recommend this game to anyone who likes a good story.    … Expand

    Eu não gosto de jogos desse estilo, mas a história é fantástica, os personagens cativam e os inimigos dão mais pavor do que os infectados do game em certa parte, não gostei do final mas isso não é um jogo de escolhas então ok né, vale muito a pena jogar para quem quer ver e se emocionar com uma boa história

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ¿Es que nadie ha entendido nada?

    LOU II podría haber sido una pieza audiovisual en la que incluyeran el conflicto entre las dos facciones principales y los gráficos mejorados, y los dos protagonistas en medio, y hubiera seguido siendo un 10 para la crítica. En vez de eso el juego experimenta y destruye cualquier concepción previa de los protagonistas (aunque eso suponga enfrentarnos a realidades que no nos gustan). Para mí, el concepto de juego "sobre el odio", aunque pretencioso para algunos críticos, es perfecto. Y sé que es perfecto porque un año después de haberlo jugado sigue pasando por mi cabeza, maravillándome lo mal que me lo hizo pasar, lo desacuerdo que estuve con Ellie, lo que sentí cuando vi que, desde otro punto de vista, los buenos pueden ser otros. Otras críticas hablan de que los SCARS no tienen sentido en el mundo de LOU2. Para mí el mundo de LOU2 es una visión casi más radical que otros mundos apocalípticos como el de the walking dead, pudiendo retorcerse el fanatismo sin límites.

    Llevo 30 años viendo películas,series, libros, videojuegos. Y LOU2 es una de las piezas audiovisuales que más se ha quedado en mi memoria, más me ha afectado y más me ha hecho reflexionar. ¿No es eso ser el juego perfecto?

    Ah, y luego están los gráficos. Brutales. Y la jugabilidad. Sólo hay que ver videos en Internet para ver que, igual que Red Dead 2, este juego no va a ser el modelo de los juegos que vengan próximamente porque están demasiado adelantados al resto de desarrolladoras.

    Lo más triste de todo es que, a lo mejor, adaptan la serie debido a las críticas, invirtiendo decisiones que para mí son fundamentales. Estoy de acuerdo en que yo puedo estar equivocado, como Druckmann (de hecho hay muchísimas críticas negativas a este juego), pero hace falta gente tan valiente, y equipos con tanta libertad creativa como Naughty Dog.

    En conclusión, juégalo y ódialo. Pero juégalo entero, porque es único.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The choice to flip perspectives into the character that you intend to hate and build an in-depth, emotional background around is one of the most interesting and creative choices I've seen in a game in years. I feel that many gamers who disliked this experience have a difficult time parsing their emotions. Having played through both installments in the series twice now, I still do not understand why people tend to show so much affection towards Joel, but save none of those feelings for Ellie. I am reading nothing but disdain for her character, which is odd given that she has far more gravity in the story, and far more character development over time. Yes it is difficult to grieve a character you have grown a love for, but instead of feeling so possessive over a fictional character and despising the developers for "killing him" (y'all, he's not a real guy. it's gonna be ok), instead try dissecting these feelings and WHY you feel them. The Last of Us is a story of complexity - there is no black and white. Every survivor in this universe has a story to be heard, and I so enjoyed being given the experience of seeing a new, fully rounded perspective in this post-apocalyptic world. I truly think that this game will be regarded as one of the best games of all time. Once gamers grow up and acknowledge the consciousness of the writing, they will see that not ever game needs to have a Capital H Hero and Capital V Villain. The game reflects compassion, deep sorrow, vengeance, endurance, pain in a way none of us can truly know and I think that's what people are most frustrated with. The feelings are bigger than them. And that, to me, is what makes the game very powerful. And to those complaining about "SJW" politics, grow up and go outside. Meet people. We can have one gay character in a broad sea of games featuring straight, white characters.… Expand

Геймплей остался на уровне первой части, ничего нового не добавили. Всё та же слабенькая прокачка, прятки в траве и тому подобное. Локации стали даже более однообразными, чем были. В первой части хоть был снег, тут он тоже есть (полчаса в начале), потом ты смотришь всю остальную игру на заброшенный город. Ну и сюжет про месть, чуть лучше, чем в любом Assassin's Creed, а в том же Rogue он даже лучше. Короче лучше в это не играть, а просто прочитать сюжет, доиграл только из-за того, что было жалко потратить деньги и не пройти.… Expand

    The visuals, audio, and gameplay were the best in this generation. However, the story, pacing and character development were disappointing. These were the qualities that made the first game a masterpiece. Graphics and gameplay get old, but a good story is forever. A sequel was never necessary.

    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.
