    Go into this game with an open mind, I adored the first game but I’m so pleased the writers decided to take risks with this story and take it in a new direction, the story is painfully beautiful and will stay with you for a long time. The world created by Naughty dog for this series is second to none, they’ve outdone themselves, I would highly recommend this game.

    This game disrespects people who loved this series. Look at the Metal Gear Series for a series that kept each game fresh and different WITHOUT disrespecting the players who MADE it successful because they supported Hideos art.

The graphics are jaw-dropping, the gameplay (especially the stealth) is some of the best and most precise, and the story is one the best game, nay, movie or otherwise, that I have ever seen. I hope the inevitable HBO series does it justice. For those of you complaining, it's not your story. You just get to be a part of it. Enjoy the ride and live in peace.… Expand

    this is the Game of thrones Season 8 equivalent of a sequel.

It is no redemption story, because the story clearly shows there is no redemption to be had. There is no revenge, because well... Ellie got old and tired when she once again remembered Joel trolling her with the guitar. --- The entire game is just a bleak, horrible, depressing, stressful and obnoxious to go through. It feels like punishment playing the game. Those bloody kills you so much used to love? Well, you will start turning away from the screen and shutting the game of because the story, the setting, the tone, the motivations, the constant stream of stupid decisions... EVERYTHING makes you want to shut the game OFF.… Expand

    Plot is moved purely by shock value.
    Any character bevelopment from a first part? Gone, snapped to oblivion to carry a "message" that contradicts itself.

    Graphics is pretty. But that's not what is expected from the game.

    Horrible writing, nonsense plot. Ellie and Joel deserved better. Goes to show what happens when a directors ego is bigger than his talent.

Тебе что финал писали люди которые написали финал для Масс Эффекта 3? Дальше, где эволюция геймплея? Да мало того, что ты не развивал его, так еще и затянул. Хуже Убисофта в этом поступил... А в способе повествования это просто шаг назад(боевочка, застовочка, боевочка)... Нельзя было сделать как раньше хотя бы это?!? И еще где ты ИИ противников потерял? А казусы в сюжете на подобие Эбби и ее фигуры(для такой фигуры она должна была столько тестостерона вколоть, что у нее бы была борода по пояс). Почему нельзя было взять за пример реальную даму из ММА? Они офигеть насколько тренированные войны... А беременная которая лазит по карнизам? Ты хоть с одной беременной общался? Ты знаешь от них, насколько это не легко? И где развитие персонажей и отношений?

    Отдельное слово дизайнерам и аниматором. Все 3 балла это ваша заслуга. Если игру можно было оценивать только за Вашу работу то это было бы 10/10. По игре видно, что Вы единственные кому не пофиг на игру. И да в следущий раз - заберите траву у Нила...    … Expand

    The gameplay feels okay, nothing too special about it.
    Graphics look amazing, one of the best for consoles.
    Story is so bad, it's just so dumb and it has a lot of plot holes.

    I loved Joel and Ellie and their bond... which is quickly killed one in this one just so we can switch to horrible characters that we are forced to play with and “love”. Or understand at least. The problem is, I don’t. I don’t understand nor love them. Imagine Nadine killing Nathan and they you play half the game as her and the game telling you it was as it should be. This is it, only worse, far worse.    … Expand

The end its so upseting, its look like all the character built in the previous game was forgotten.

For me it was technical problems added to some levels that drag for too long without any addition to the story that made me abandon it because it was just not fun to play. The first episode was groundbreaking, this one looks nice but it's a flawed game.
    EDIT: I hate leaving games unfinished, so I completed it. Sadly, after going through it, I have to say that the only things to save is the graphics, combat mechanics and a very bad story undermined the good reputation of the first game.    … Expand

    I rarely write a review of something here. Something has to seriously piss me off in order to make me do it and this game did.

    I never really liked TLOU. I mean, I thought it was a good game, but not deserving the praise it got with its shallow, basic gameplay and a plot borrowed from "The Road". Here I am now, absolutely hating its sequel. Why? Oh, there are so many reasons. First of    I rarely write a review of something here.

Here I am now, absolutely hating its sequel. Why? Oh, there are so many reasons. First of all, the gameplay didn't evolve at all after 7 years of waiting for the sequel! In game business it's like ages! I have no idea what reviewers are thinking giving this game a perfect score, but only this point makes the game undeserving it in my book. The mechanics are outdated as hell. Nihil novi sub sole.

    The plot. Oh my God, this is the worst plot that I have ever seen in the video game. How someone was willing to pay for all of the technology, mocap and graphical quality just to present such awful story is beyond me. Talking about wasted money. It would be better to just throw it in the dumpster. Bad graphics would suit this dumpster fire better, the game would be at least consistent in being crappy. Now it looks even more bizzare, having good garphics, but no overall quality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ooohhh boy... I'll start with the positives by saying that the game is visually stunning, sounds great, is rock solid mechanically, and has a bevy of difficulty & quality of life options that make the game easily accessible to practically everyone. However... the story is an absolute **** I can forgive killing Joel, I don't like it obviously, but it gives the game a strong (if somewhat overused & predictable) narrative drive. But the constant jumping back and forth between the present & the events that happened after the end of the first game kill any semblance of a consistent pace. Putting you in the shoes of Joel's killer was an interesting move, but hurt the drive to play the game (especially since they did it at roughly the halfway point of the game, when you knew who & what she was - starting the game with her, culminating in Joel's death, would've been a better move, imo [and, yes, I know - that would've necessitated a flashback at the end of Abby's portion of the game]). The biggest offense however, is the fact that this is ultimately a story of revenge... that doesn't end with either party dying. Instead we get Ellie sacrificing EVERYTHING for revenge, but when the critical moment comes - she doesn't take it. Nor does Abby kill her. Making the game's narrative not just poorly executed, but hollow as well. Sadly the game is a grievous disappointment, not in spite of its mechanical & visual glory, but because of it. It's such a glaring difference in quality between the technological aspects of the game & the narrative, that the narrative's shortcomings become impossible to ignore.… Expand

That aside, Neil Druckman bullied Amy Hennig out of the company to create a game experience that I can't describe as a game, because it's not fun. The story forces you to make some of the worst choices possible along a very, very linear pathway, and then purposefully making you feel bad for doing it, despite the fact they give you no choices, no alternatives whatsoever. The gameplay and graphics are solid enough, but those are bare necessities, not a feature. What makes things even worse is that not only was the game leaked, but all the leaks turned out to be worse than what was described. I will not go into spoilers here, but if you're looking for a game with endearing characters and gripping revenge stories, I recommend playing something like No More Heroes 2 over this game.… Expand

    Pese a todo el ruido causado, la opinión más importante es la que genera uno mismo experimentando el juego. Es un juego crudo, que te genera sentimientos encontrados pero eso no tiene porqué significar algo malo. Es una experiencia que puede no ser del gusto de todos los jugadores pero que en lo personal me fascinó para aplaudirlo.

There is a lot of emotion in everything, the enemies don't just die, their friends Cry when someone dies, a dog starts crying when his owner dies, the placement of the enemies, The stealth, the combat, the story, everything is deep and tense in this game, the world building is incredible.

    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.
