    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to give my point of view towards this game I have already 50% of the game and let me say that it could easily be the person with the most hype in the world of this game but a pity that a person who inserted himself in the game It will kill me all the **** hype, my criticism if it is the development of a silly story and without purpose as it is in last of us 2, you could have done better things with all the characters, instead of fulfilling a fantasy and **** in the characters, I want to make clear that you have to listen to those who are truly fans, the damage done this, you should listen more to those who feed you and not to those who just want to add things so that it is to everyone's liking, since you screwed up the **** the last of us 2, you can't make everyone happy and you can never make all communities happy, so instead of locking yourself in a bubble Neil D. you should accept that what you really spat was in your fans, and I hope this fails if it is never repeated… Expand

    The game play, graphics and music are all there. I see the way the story is trying to show the cycle of violence but could have been told with better pacing. The talent and effort from naughty dog can be seen but the story has some good ideas but is not executed in the best light.

    Худшая игра 2020 года на мой взгляд.
    Кто-то говорит об ОТЛИЧНОМ геймплее... Так вот, геймплей такой ОТЛИЧНЫЙ что меня в сон клонит даже при прохождении на ютубе. Игра слила почти всех нормальных персонажей и добавила никому не нужную линию антагонистКИ, про которую я лучше промолчу. И да, я проиграл всего несколько часов и забросил, ибо уже тошнило. Блин, раздражает больше не сама игра, а    Худшая игра 2020 года на мой взгляд.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a huge fan of the Last of Us. Played and finished the first one like seven times which means I, like any other true fan built a bond, a relationship with Joel and Ellie. So, when the second game brutally destroyed Joel in front of Ellie, I accepted it in the beginning because it does build a strong story/plot. Where i changed my mind and did not agree on however, is when we had to play as Abby. The lady who killed Joel like he was thrash and especially in the end when Ellie let Abby go without killing her after the look that Joel gave Ellie right before Abby smashed his head in. How can a true fan just let that go. I honestly dont give a rats behind on what happened to Abbys dad nor do i care about any of her friends who had a part to do with Joels death, if it was up to me, kill them all. "You are pregnant?: BAM! You have a family? BAM! Awh you love each other, BAM! What i am saying is, i would have cared more about Abby and the group if all they did was beat Joel to a coma but he still lived, then the ending would have been wayyy more understanding and acceptable. Killing Joel was a huge dissapointment especially since we have to play Abby in the second act, all i know is i will never ever play this game again. Naughty dog basically ruined it for me. Now if they ever make another game, I will wait for the review rather than pre order it. I can never trust the company again to make a fair solid story. #justiceforJoelmiller #Joelslifematter… Expand

    One of the worst story sequels I have ever had the displeasure to play. Neil you are a disgrace. The follow up to goat simulator has a better narrative. You and your writers should be hang your heads in shame. Play the first hour then call it a day and think of it as an extended DLC to the original. Do not continue past this you have been warned.

    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is    Oh boy, where to begin...

    Firstly I would like to say that I never completed the first game purely because I didn’t like the gameplay but I Ioved the story so much that I watched a full walkthrough on youtube. Normally with me if I don’t enjoy the gameplay on ANY game, I will stop playing and will forget about the game like I never played it, but not with The Last Of Us. The first game is DEFINITELY one of the best written games ever and the connection you had between yourself and the characters is so amazing that you didn’t even have to play the game to feel that way, and even though I didn’t enjoy the gameplay I personally feel that the story was AT LEAST 9/10. And now moving onto the second game...

    I want to say that when the games plot leaked originally I didn’t mind and I thought it would just get better by context, but oh man I was 100% wrong. I Then started to panic a bit when it was coming out that 70% of the studio left because they didn’t like the way the game was heading and the way they treated their staff leading up to the release of this game (AKA Johnathan Cooper). And then that leaves us up till now, when the game has released. I have seen pretty much a walkthrough of the whole game missing out some parts like the middle but overall I know what this game is. All I have to say is Neil Druckmann and Anita Sarkeesian should NEVER be allowed to go anywhere near the gaming industry EVER AGAIN. And before people start to call me a homophobe, this is not the reason I HATE this game it is because of...

    1. The absolute HORRENDOUS character development/writing. You could genuinely remove some of these people from the game and it would make a difference AT ALL.
    2. The CLEAR AGENDA THEY ARE SHOVING DOWN EVERYONES THROATS. Politics shouldn’t be in games unless it is significant and essential to the games story/plot.
    3. The DISRESPECT they have shown fans from the first game because this is EVERYTHING WE DIDN’T WANT. I could think of a hundred better directions this game could have gone in.
    4. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. I COULD GO ON FOREVER AND EVER.

    I honestly don’t want to go on because what they have done to this franchise is CRIMINAL and the disrespect they have shown characters that we fell in love with in the original is nothing short of disgusting. I could go over so much more but it genuinely makes me sad, don’t get me wrong this game is beautiful in terms of graphics and it’s gameplay looks much better than the first but the reason we fell in love with the last of us is because of the story. AND THEY COMPLETELY DESTROYED IT. I honestly can’t believe they thought this was a good idea and in my eyes, there is only ONE The Last Of Us.    … Expand

You know - slighltly better than The Last of Us 1, and TLOU 1 gameplay loops isn't anything to write songs about. Shame, the game doesn't utilise it in best way possible - first game had so much more to offer in enviromental puzzles and even the map design was much better too. In first hour or maybe little bit more, TLOU 2 pretend to have almost open world - and then it's at it's best. After that, it's only downhill.
    Graphics - oh well, that's amazing. Actually - that's the only good thing about this game. The quality of 3D mogels and textures is breathtaking... but man, those animations. If only anything else in this game had this quality!
    So let's get down to bussiness - aside from few annoying bugs, there is one glaring problem with this game. Story. The writing.
    THE ONE MAIN THING, that made TLOU 1 game of the generation.
    Writing in TLOU 2 is just bad. And I'm not talking about things people were "shocked" in spoilers and leaks. It's bad - yeah, THAT bad or even worse, because there is lot more sh*tting on game we all loved, than spoilers shown. But I mean also a writing all along the way is bearly ok. You can just feel, that people who crafted TLOU 1 with love ain't working on this one. It's like this game was written by someone with inferiority complex, who hated their predecesors and wanned to hurt them, by destroing their legacy.
    And people jump the wagon of hate because of minority depiction and so on. I don't care if Abby is trans or not, as well as I don't care if Ellie is gay or not. What I do care is poor writing choices, that forces you to do cruel things, just to imidietly scold you for it. It's seems like it was written by someone, whos biggest writing achivement up to date, was writing imaginary arguments with people who he didn't like, and winning with poor artificial arguments. Smartest things this game have to offer is "killing is bad", "revange is wrong". No shait Sherlock. You just killed hundreds to spew that idiotiy...
    In the end, I belive this game is biggest miss in Sonys history, worst game that Naughty Dog ever made. It really is as people call it - 8th season of GoT or Last Jedi of the franchise.
    It's a show of one poor actor that injected himself into the game (at least twice!), to show to whole world, that he have mental issues. And he do! But to be honest - he needs help, real help. Insted, someone gave him few million $ brand, to jugle with his own mental problems.
    To sum it up - if you like TLOU 1 = AVOID like a plague.
    If you never played TLOU 1 = why do you even bother?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you don't care about the story line you have to buy this game. As the beginning i want to say that it was obvious: second part had really small chances to jump over the first. I love all Naughty dogs games, pre-ordered new ones and bought copies of remastered after completing them on previous consoles. Watching the trailers and game play was preparing me for perfect AI, planning strategy and enjoy the adventure.
    Creators succeed in some of that. AI still works weird, sometimes they hear my steps, in other situation they cannot see me face to face. Hope this will be fixed in future patches or in real life game level. Shooting is almost the same as in first part, not all enemies die after head shot, people are alive after shotgun shooting. Melee fighting is full of blood and violence, it's probably the best part which i liked in this game.
    Stealth is not variable, the amount of bullets is really small again, it looks much more funny, when in some scenes and clips the amount of ammo is infinite.
    Physics, optimization and graphics are awesome, i am not a specialist, but this game works in HDR 4K without freezes and lags, loading is super short comparing to Uncharted 4 for example.
    Storytelling: I've got the main idea about violence forwards us to more violence and Elly decides that enough of that. That everybody is equal and we have to protect our private life and don't be shame of that. But Naughty dog, answer please, why you give me to play for steroid woman, who kills our favorite hero, who all game follows pretty guy, who doesn't want to be with her because of her mental sickness, she doesn't want kids, she doesn't want to be happy, she doesn't want to live peacefully, all her life is war and vengeance. Why the most dramatic moments are going around pregnant women? You are showing us strong independent girls, who anyway become women, with letter W. They need love and understanding, doesn't matter how they look like, they are following their basic instincts. Even after all this story of Abby, i didn't feel anything good about her, her father didn't want to give Elly a chance to live and any of us would do the same as Joel. Elly made friends to go far way away from home to payback and she stops after that, becomes mommy? Saving Abby's life after she felt bad all these years, seeing flashbacks, cannot sleep, with Dina? Are you serious?
    I am disappointed and really sorry. Sorry for the creators of the first part. I was ready for the propaganda of feminism and lg bt, even about comparing/showing religion as some sect and showing how girl wants to become a boy, but writers destroyed our story, our love, which we felt about father and daughter. Tries of showing bad guys as good ones didn't succeed. Thanks for showing cuts with Joel, It was really strong. Thanks for the game, even after all my negative experience, it's still better than 90% of games today. You crushed one more second part in history of movies and gaming, after all these licks and how you act with your workers i give 3/10, because their work has been destroyed. ''I don't think i can ever forgive you for that. But i would like to try.'' You followed hype and your own wishes, instead of listening to the fans and ignoring our feelings, hope you will learn from this. If i knew what will be in the game, i won't buy it. I will not buy any story in this TLOU part II world, even DLC's.    … 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.
