    Достойное продолжение истории. Очень смелый и безжалостный сценарий. Качество исполнения выше всяких похвал. Очень плотная тягучая, часто пугающая атмосфера. Браво!

    If you can get past all of the gay agenda pushing, the story is actually very well written.

    I love the realistic violence in this video game. The kill damage animations, coupled with the realistic reactions from the enemies friends are second to none. But, after about 40 hrs in, it almost feels a little too dark and violent.

    The only other negative for this game, and I’m nitpicking here, is the pacing on a few parts throughout the game.

    Besides these things, this is one of the best video games ever created. Graphics = 10 Gameplay = 10 Replayability = New game plus so ☑️

    The bad reviews for this game were done by people that have never played the game and were butt hurt because of the leaks. I’m almost certain about that.

    This is a must play if you own a ps4.

    Try the game for yourself, you will not regret it!    … Expand

    The amount of emotions that this game makes you feel is unbeliavable, first game that i see that requires you to be mature, no other way you will understand the games message, that is so good btw, gameplay insane, you can play on multiple ways, for sure you will find a playstyle for you, and about the grapichs, cant believe that a ps4 provide that experience, insane game.

Het heeft geweldige graphics en een goede verhaal lijn. Er zitten soms wat mindere stukken in tijdens het spelen maar als er doormiddel van flashbacks meer van de verhaallijn bekend wordt dan leer je het verhaal waarderen . Heb enorm genoten van deze game echt een aanrader. Vind het wel jammer dat het zo eindigt zou hier echt graag een vervolg op zien.… Expand

I have never thought of Naughty Dogs games as an achievement in writing. The Uncharted games and even the first Last of Us has never done anything ground breaking in telling a story. The love the first game gets confused me because it was a solid story but it didn’t do anything exceptional. TLOU2 is by far the boldest take in story telling and that reflects by the hate it has received. Again I don’t think ND are geniuses in their writing ability but I do appreciate this take in this case. The duality of holding two opposing forces as a single truth is exceptionally difficult to convey and the fact that only 5% of the population can even do this shows why people have review bombed this game. The game requires you to have an open mind which was a risk they took because most people simply do not have this ability. And for that I applaud ND in doing this because it truly subverted expectations in a clever way unlike some other properties (The Last Jedi). The game is a must play despite some writing missteps in areas of the story — the story itself is excellent in how they wanted to tell it.… Expand

    The game-play in The Last of Us Part II was incredible. The improvements to the user interface, the amount of craft-able materials, the behavior of the AI characters, and the level of detail in terms of level design are outstanding. I found myself very immersed in the world, worried about the enemies spotting me. The simple addition of being able to go prone and adding higher levels of vegetation to double as "cover" for the player is genius. I felt like the things i had issues with in the first game such as loosing too many arrows to them breaking, were alleviated. I find that I get more of a feel of "I don't have enough resources to build what i want to build or to get across this field of enemies". Whereas in the first game, if you took the time to search around and loot the nearby buildings, you'd find yourself full on nearly all materials. I consistently felt more immersed in the world as I would audibly cheer when i found that pair of scissors I needed to craft another set or arrows or that final container piece to craft another silencer.

    In terms of story, I just don't think it holds up to the original game. HOWEVER: I do not think this game tarnishes the great reputation the first one created. As Neil Druckman said in one of his interviews pre-release of this game: The last of Us was a game about love, Part II is all about hate. I understand what other players mean when they complain about not having the "option" to make important choices in the game, but I firmly believe that in a world such as the The Last of Us, those decisions are necessary in order to survive, I do think the story would be more compelling if it was told in a different order, as you jump around in the timeline of the main characters' lives fairly often, but I can overlook that.

    Overall, what I can say about this game is this: I waited nearly 7 years to play the sequel to my all-time favorite game, and I can confidently say I had a great time. While the story isn't quite up to par compared to the previous title. I truly believed that Naughty Dog captured lightning in a bottle, and to expect them to create that same feeling twice is asking a little much. The Last of Us Part II is meant to show you that even in a world post-apocalypse, there is no black or white when it comes to morality. Every person makes good decisions and terrible decisions, but it's up to you to understand that hate only creates more hate, and revenge will only get you so far.

    This game will make you think about your actions, and shows you the consequences for making them.    … Expand

    I genuinely loved the story of this game. It's wrenching, and difficult, and challenging, but fundamentally is about people trying to work through difficult emotions in a world that fosters violence but ultimately, doesn't reward violence.

It is two stories which are largely separate, but reflect each other's themes of revenge, pain, and how people cope with emotions they can't deal with because the world has gone to hell.

    Either you're into this kind of a rough ride or you're not.

    In terms of technical execution and design, it's nearly flawless. I've encountered a few floating-object bugs, but nothing game breaking. Controls, graphics, interface, and level design are superb.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off by saying i am a huge fan of the first game. The Last of Us had what feels like a perfect story with amazing characters and a world that felt dangerous and real.

    ***OVERALL REVIEW 8/10***

    *******SPOILERS AHEAD********

    The Last of Us Part 2 continues the story of Joel and Ellie. And I can say that it is a worthwhile sequel that not only continues the story that was started in the first game but expands upon it. The story of this game isn't perfect, it leaves me mostly satisfied with a slight sour taste in my mouth. The choice to brutally murder Joel works, but left me a little disappointed to see Naughty Dog remove such a crucial character especially after seeing the leaks. I would've liked to have seen a little less of a predictable revenge quest. But once you understand the reason for his death it all ties together with the first game near perfectly. I would've liked to have seen a little more mourning from the characters in this game rather than jumping right into the action. This choice can feel quite abrupt and can feel like they were rushing into the rest of the story. Although I was a little unmoved at this choice I found myself near tears at how emotional some scenes are. The death of Joel felt impactful and disturbing in a way that sticks with you and it is shown through Ellie in her relentless journey for revenge. This makes you look at yourself, and makes you think about how far you would go for the ones you love and how much you are willing to lose. Towards the start of the game you are quickly introduced to Abby who feels dangerous and mysterious as you question her intentions. Quickly some of those questions are answered as she brutally murders Joel in front of Ellie. But after this event you immediately are brought a slew of new questions about Abby that keep you attached to your controller trying to grasp at what the answers may be. This tension effectively runs through the first half of the game when you play as Ellie accompanied by Dina and later on Jesse. But this tension feels slightly ruined when you hit a climax and are forced to play as Abby which you were hunting down for most of the first half of the game. This choice made me a little annoyed hoping the next act would move back to Ellie but this doesn't happen till about the last hour of the game. I wish Naughty Dog would've used this time to have you play as Ellie and show you Abby's crucial moments. This feels especially painful when you are forced to play as Abby beating the sh*t out of Ellie and a pregnant Dina. Although this choice is a little frustrating it is effective in telling you Abby's side of the story and showing you that there really is no bad guy in this story, and that this isn't just a revenge quest for Ellie. By the end of this game when the credits rolled I found myself wondering and hoping for some sort of sequel or continuation of this story that gave me a little more closure even though this game ends on a good note leaving you with most questions answered and a large over arching lesson that is explored through this entire game. Many may find this game intensely violent to a point that you may need to look away. But every moment of violence feels justifiable and appropriate when looking at how harsh this world is and what most of these characters have been through, and what they must do in order to survive. This isn't a game for the faint of heart. Moving to the characters, I found most of them understandable and relatable especially those connected to Ellie and Abby. Naughty Dog does an impressive job exploring every character. For example, learning about Dina's relationship with religion, when interacting with completely optional story moments. These moments and things like notes spread throughout the world, and optional conversations help build a more believable and relatable world. Moving to combat, it is greatly improved in comparison to the first game that it builds upon. Ellie (and Abby) can go prone crawling through grass and hiding from enemies and stealthily taking them out. Melee combat is also greatly improved with a dodge button making combat feel more expansive yet intense. You also have a large arsenal of gear that gets larger as you progress through the story. Ellie and Abby can also move more efficiently through combat and the world moving more easily with a jump button and being able to squeeze through small spaces. Lastly I would like to bring up how impressive the visuals are in this game. Looking at each environment is a different experience, there is meticulous detail in every area. No space looks the same as another. Looking at every environment feels like you are one step away from being there in person.

    In conclusion, The Last of Us Part 2 is a gripping experience that continues the story of Ellie and expands upon the world of The Last of Us in new ways and tells a memorable story that is definitely worth checking out for new and old fans.    … Expand

It doesn't just surpass the its predecessor in every department, but soars above the lofty standards we've come to expect from Naughty Dog.

Die Diskussionen die entfacht wurden sind nach Abschluss des Spiels definitiv greif- und auch irgendwie nachvollziehbarer. Es ist kein Spiel für jedermann und sicherlich keines welches Spaß bereiten will, dafür sind die Folgen und Lektionen der Charaktere nämlich zu schwer zu ertragen. Das Spiel zerrt an den Gefühlen und Emotionen, lehrt einem den Hass und verunsichert gleichzeitig wieder.

    Ich fühlte mich schlecht als sich im Verlauf des zweiten Story-Teils meine Gefühlte für einen Charakter, dem ich zu Beginn nichts weiter als den Tod wünschte, sich grundlegend zu verändern schienen. Diese Person wuchs mir tatsächlich entgegen meinem Willen ans Herz und ihre Erlebnisse öffneten mir soweit die Augen, dass ich jegliche meiner Taten (bzw. unserer bis dato geliebten Protagonisten) in Frage stellen musste. Der Wunsch nach Rache mündete über zum Wunsch nach Gerechtigkeit. Dass es ein Spiel schafft mich emotional so zu verändern ist schlicht eine große Leistung, wenn es auch gleichzeitig eine maximal böse Angelegenheit war.

    Auf das Gameplay will ich gar nicht groß eingehen, das Prinzip ist nahezu gleich wie beim Vorgänger.... wenn ich aber Revue passiere dann punktet der zweite Story-Teil vor allem in Sachen Level-Design, Action und kommt auch noch abwechslungsreicher daher als der Beginn des Spiels. Was hier an Schauplätzen und Inszenierungen geliefert wurden ist wirklich nicht von dieser Welt.

    Für mich ist The Last of Us Part II ein wahres Traumspiel und eines, welches mich auch Tage danach nicht loszulassen scheint. Ein intensives, unangenehmes und in meinen Augen wichtiges Werk, welches das Medium Spiel auf ein neues Level anhebt. New Game Plus ist bereits gestartet und die Platin Jagd begonnen.

    I think that this game has excellent graphics. No doubt about it, but i dont know why is everyone hating it so much. I know that everyone was looking forward to play as Joel and Abby killed Joel in the second hour of the game but they make you play as her and you can see her past and story of why did she kill Joel. Maybe there could be more about her past, not just 15 minutes, but at least for me she is a good character and i understood her why did she do that. And Joel was the one who killed her father.

    Lets talk about the end of the game:
    If I was Ellie, i would not listen to Tommy and i would not try to kill Abby again. She had a family. But ok, understandable. She traveled to find her and thats what happened. And there, in my opinion, should be a chance to make your decision, if you want to kill her or not. I dont know what you would do, but i would have troubles making this decision.

    Dont hate me for my opinion but i dont know why are people mad at the story, the last of us part 2 is not perfect i just dont think this game deserves such a hate.    … Expand

    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...
