    This is the worst disrespect i have ever seen someone do with characters and world of a game. The writing is absolutely on the wrong side, it feels out of place sometimes and it doesn't make sense at all. Sadly, the amazing environment created in this game can't fix any of the flaws the story has. A true failure. For me this game never came out.

But the completely flipped everything they built about the narrative on the first game and butchered it. They kill Joel straight off the bat and try and make him a bad guy. For no reason. And then they make the story slow, predictable and for the first time in almost 5-6 years I uninstalled the game before I played all the way through it. It’s that bad and that’s being nice. The high meta critic score and google score is very false. If you look at user scores on any platform you’ll see this game is garbage. Naughty dog this is the worst game you’ve ever come out with. Nice job ruining a franchise.… Expand

    Naughty dog and Sony are so pathetic nowadays The plot is pure **** the way they're trying to make you feel bad about killing a dog or people is absolutely funny The whole message of the game is extremely obvious and have been done in better ways countless times. I was extremely bored. This isn't a game. This is a movie. And not a good one at that.

So many questions that could've been avoided, I'm giving you this 1 star because unlike yourselves, I care enough to respect your product (in it's Technical side) & also thank Naughty Dog for Part 1 of which is the only 1 to me that exists, I'll go relax outside & make up my own sequel story like the many other of fans have, Call us whatever but I honestly couldn't care' i got my refund, so sad to see another franchise fall to the wokeness… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. God ive noticed a lot of people online coping hard trying to like TLOU II and defending that terrible story, that´s some top tier post-purchase rationalization, i mean i get it, you invest time and/or money so your brain tries to like it, and if you like the game that´s fine, i desperately tried to like GOT S8 as well and i defended it for a bit, but later on i was made aware of all the plotholes, inconsistencies, abandoned plotlines, de-construction of characters and non sensical decisions and ending of story arcs that undid eveything that led the characters up to that point, exactly like TLOU II story, "subverting your expectations" is a fancy way to say dissapointment and is great way for lazy/bad writers to hide all of those problems i mentioned, if you like to be miserable and play through a movie with a bad revenge plot thats been done way better a million times before, especially bad because you dont even get revenge, only the antagonist that they so desperately want you to empathize with gets revenge,
    then go ahead.
    But at least try to listen to the points being made by people outside of access media that can talk honestly about it without any implicit risk of losing access, and if after that you still like it then there´s not much left to say, just dont blindly disqualify or disregard every critique or points made by people who didnt like it because i really really wanted to like the game but was unable to, i just couldnt get through a game thats constantly trying to make me feel bad for decisions the game is forcing me to make while ignoring plotholes and out of character actions. The first game wasn´t perfect either and yes that plot has also been done a million times before, but at least they pulled it off extremely well with LIKEABLE characters showing their growth together and making you care for them and their relationship, and at least the ending made sense, the doctors had killed many immune kids with no remorse and no "REVENGE CYCLE" happened to them those times, they just needed a cheap plot device now to kill Joel and validate the **** plotline and they couldnt even do that well, literally the most disrespectful and stupid out-of-character send off ive ever seen, actually spitting on the character, super subtle writing.
    Yes the gameplay is fun for the first 8-9 hours but gets repetitive really quick after that, and yes the game looks AMAZING for sure, what did you expect after 7 years of abusing their own workforce?,
    if anything the great people working at ND are the real victims here, i can get a refund for this "feelbad" simulator, they cant get their mental sanity back.    … Expand

El juego sinceramente es sobresaliente, la jugabilidad aunque al principio del juego pueda parecer aburrido, el juego va de poco a mas, gráficamente una bestia. Pero porque le doy un 5 raspado? Porque sinceramente no es un juego de suspenso, pero después de unos días de razonar el final del juego me a defraudado muchísimo. Y no me refiero a la muerte de Joel, al contrario la muerte de Joel me parece lo mejor de la trama para captar la atención del jugador. Ese momento en el que matan a tu protagonista no lo había sentido desde la muerte de Ned Stark o Robb Stark en Juego de tronos. Pero me refiero a la conclusión de la historia, Ellie lo pierde todo, desde Dina que la abandona hasta los dedos de la mano por lo cual no podrá volver a tocar la guitarra, el instrumento que le enseño a tocar Joel. Y fuera aparte de todo esto, cuando te pasas el juego cambia el fondo del menú de inicio, dando a pensar que Abby llegó a la isla de Santa Catalina. ¿De verdad me estáis contando que si hubiese una PARTE 3 el personaje principal podría darse el caso que fuese Abby? No me jodáis. Nada mas pasarme el juego reconozco que me pareció el final buenísimo, pero días después de razonarlo bien, sinceramente una decepción.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely amazing gameplay and visuals but I don’t agree with how the characters were treated in this game, so much wasted potential.

    Killing Joel had to happen in this game but the way it was done was terrible. A veteran survivor of over 20+ years just causally walking into a trap like that really left a sour taste in my mouth early on.

    Also the marketing of this game really led gamers to believe it would be a Joel and Ellie adventure when in the end Joel was only present briefly, I don’t think it’s fair for a company to mid lead people like that. Forcing players to spend a large majority of the game playing as Abby the woman who literally beat and tortured Joel to death was a terrible idea. I spent most of her 7/10 hours of game time just bored and not sympathetic to her in any way, then the fight scene where the game makes you attack Ellie a beloved character who you actually empathise with and beat her to a pulp was a joke.

    Finally the ending of the game was so anti climatic. I was so excited to play out Ellie and Abbys last fight and finally get revenge on Joels killer then she just lets her go. After Ellie has killed maybe 100+ people to get to this woman it just makes absolutely no sense for her to forgive her at the end. I will do a new game+ at some point but I absolutely will be skipping all of the Abby sections on my next play through, It could have been an actual masterpiece but Naughty Dog really dropped the ball on this game.    … Expand

    First of all, there is a difference between a bad game and a game that you don't like.

    I finished the game couple of days ago so, I took a day or two to process my feelings about the whole storyline of this game I feel miserable, sad and depressed, I feel like I have a hole in my chest after finishing the game. No wonder it is facing huge criticism from the fans. I don't think this is a bad game but a game that I didn't like. It is a miserable game and that's how it was meant to be. It was meant to be divisive, it was meant to make you feel the roller coaster of emotions that you were going through throughout the game. I don't think any game has made me this miserable before and that's what this game does well.

    This game isn't perfect but just look at the Metacritic scores: 100/100. I don't get it, how?

    Also, I understand that there will always be trolls who haven't even played the game yet commenting stupid stuff calling people out in the company for pushing agendas but it is just outrageous calling your ultimate consumers incels, transphobic, homophobic, sexist bots for not liking the game.

    Now the ending it leads me in complete despair. I completely understand people who are saying it was a thrash ending. There is a loop of getting revenge, losing things, murder, getting revenge, losing more. Ellie broke the circle finally but it felt like it was too late for that and weird time to break the circle. I wanna be happy that she grew as a person but again I am miserable because she had lost everything to get that.
    Now on Abby's side of things. She was a decent character but I never ended up liking her.

    The first of half of the game when we were playing as Ellie I thought this was a 10/10 game but when we swapped to Abby I kinda lost interest I am not gonna lie ( the only time I somewhat enjoyed playing as her was when we had to defeat the rat king and WLF vs Scars battle)

    I just didn't like Abby although I understood where she was coming from.

    Like the surgeon who you mindlessly killed in the last game had a huge impact on the story, I like that tie-up. They introduced Abby at the very beginning of the game and then she kills our beloved character from the last game. The thing I don't understand is why did they think that we will ever like her?

    I felt like I couldn't sympathise with her, I understood her but I couldn't connect to her which Naughty dog desperately wanted you to.

    You built up this crazy story with Joel and Ellie and then you move into the first game and then move into the second game where you kill Joel right at the start and then you only get to play with Ellie for the first half the game and then right at the end. I didn't like that.

    I think Abby could have been a good offshoot game. A totally separate story in the same universe but don't throw her into this. Not with Ellie and Joel.
    And what is up with killing all the wonderful side characters? Now, Joel's death is particulars tough to swallow because the way he died was just not acceptable.
    The story didn't let him and Ellie explore their relationship. They just cut it off with his sudden death. Now about Joel, he is a hard & tough survivor, always on his game and not trusting people. But all of a sudden he starts acting willy nilly running to an unknown base.
    It was forced and little hard to make logic of.
    it was a tough scenario I understand like they were getting ambushed they really didn't have a choice. But still, at the same time, I wish his death meant more to Naughty dog.
    I wished there were some more things that had taken place before his death
    He was the hero of the first game and we lost him immediately.
    I appreciate the flashbacks but that does not rationalize anything.
    This is a gloomy sad miserable game that scared me and depressed me, to be honest, It was hard to play this game for an extended period because it was so dismal.

    As per the gameplay, TLOU 2 is a great survivor horror-based game. The openness, graphic, animations, cinematography, verticality and mechanics.
    What else can we expect from a 2020 game?

    Verdict: After 7 years of wait, I was not expecting this cruelty. I don't know why Naughty dog couldn't give us what we wanted after waiting for this long.
    Imagine how bad the Naughty dog team must be feeling who have worked hard for 7 years and facing such backlash just because of a dimwit named Neil Druckman.

    Misleading trailers, editing stills, desperate attempts to lure people in. Very petty and shallow marketing tactics I would say. You already have a massive fan base why would you do that?
    Injustice was done to Joel, Ellie and the fans.
    The rage is rage and criticism is justified according to me.
    Abby geta a clean slate whereas Ellie lost everything including her 2 fingers. Farewell to her guitar skills.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLDR @ the bottom.

    The original Last of Us released 7 years ago when I was at the age of 14, it has always been regarded as the best game that I have ever played due to it's story telling, world building, sound design, character development, and graphics. So heading into The Last of Us Part 2, I had high expectations of course, Naughty Dog was well established as a amazing game development company that is always pushing the envelope. So heading into the game I was completely left in the dark, I did not watch reviews, or check out any of the story spoilers.

    The Last of Us Part 2 continues to push boundaries in regards to the graphics, sound design and overall immersiveness but it falls flat on it's story telling. When entering Seattle and taking in the level designs it's absolutely gorgeous how the game looks, and how it presents itself overall. The first half of the game keeps you captivated, it was absolutely amazing to play as Ellie again. You come to understand a lot more about Ellie and what happened during the years between the first game and the second game. Just as we hit the climax however, the story stops completely and begins the second half of the game. It kills all momentum from the first half and I felt the need to speed past this section of the game so I continue on the Ellie's story.

    Abby's section felt slow, I wasn't really invested into her story, mostly because I more invested in Ellie due to the first game. Now I'm not sure if this is the games problem, or a me problem, I just could not get into Abby's story emotionally. I feel like it's partially due to how she is shown during the first act of the story. We see her as cold, and brutal, and then the game tries to make us sympathize with her. I believe if they showed her flashbacks and story first and then Ellie's we would have come to understand her more. I don't hate her story, I just dislike how she is portrayed.

    I don't hate the game, I find it enjoyable at times and really amazing in a lot aspects, if Naughty Dog's aim was to make you feel a roller-coaster of emotions, I'd say they did it. A lot of people like this game, and a lot of people hate it, I think the best course of action is to experience it yourself, wither that through playing the game(would wait for a sale) or watching someone play. You make like it, you may hate it, or maybe find it okay, I personally find the game okay, it's a not a bad game, but it's not a good game. It's an okay game. It definitely does not deserve a 0/10, but it does not desire a 10/10.

    Ratings:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Sound: 10/10
    Level Design: 10/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Story: 2/10

    TLDR: Game is not bad, it's not good, it's okay.    … Expand

    An absolutely nonsensical game that does little to naritavly improve apon the last game. Other than the graphics being better the game does little to actualy improve gameplay and has to fall back on pandering to a niche crowd to attempt to hide it's admittedly basic story. However even it fails to get a satisfying payoff in the end. Let's hope this is truly is the last of it's kind.

    What is annoying me too is HOW they handled some characters. Characters that suddenly do stuff they did the opposite of in the first game MAKES NO sense. How are you able to mess up characters like that? There is a short * Tasteful Scene* in the game which nearly lead me to STOP playing the game because of how utterly disgusting it was. The end is so bad it questions you why the heck you played the game to get such a dumb ending.

    Gameplay: is good if you like the ctrl+c - ctrl+v from the first one with some small changes. This however was not good enough for me. Too easy to do certainly when you had so many years of development!

    The game started very good. When Joel died i had my first "i dont wanna continue" feeling. I was over that a few hours later because i was focused to kill Joels Killers. Ellie Gameplay was really good and i enjoyed it. I looted everything, killed all people quiet and tried to explore everything. THEN the part where Jesse dies.. Everything fine... she found us.. whats gonna happen... 4 YEARS EARLIER. HERE IS ABBYS BACKSTORY. I was so disappointed at this moment and then i looked up in the internet that i have to play as ABBY FOR 10+ HOURS. OMFG. I immediately was dead inside. I hated her so much, not just because she killed Joel. So i fuc...ing rushed through her part, i didnt loot, i didnt kill people... i just tried to run through and continue the story. It was a PAIN......... So until now we have 2 Gamebreaking things. 1. Joels death. 2. 10+Hours abby. Now the real **** is happening. When you are at the Theatre as Abby, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT ELLIE AND KNOCK HER DOWN. LIKE WTF????? That was so bad to watch and just stupid. I didnt care for Tommy tbh... So we are at 3 MAJOR Disappointments... THEN we play as Ellie again. I slowly recover, playing as her is fun, no matter what she does. She wanna find Abby and kill her. She goes through that town and it is SO FUN TO PLAY HER AGAIN. and now the NECK BREAKING for us Players. SHE DOESNT EVEN KILL HER AT THE END. I MEAN LIKE WTF    … Expand

La jugabilidad está anticuada, pero los gráficos son fantásticos, y la historia estará mal narrada para quienes simplemente se pongan a jugar, y no presten atención ni quieran analizar el por qué de cada acción.

    Gameplay was pretty fun for the most part. Could get a little clunky at times but nothing unforgivable. Some really cool action sequence in the back half.

    Despite the controversy regarding the story I thought it was fine. Not great by any means but not nearly the tragity people are making it out to be.

    My main issue with this game is the pacing. You play through a good portion of the game as Ellie, investing time and interest into her story, then when it seems the story is coming to a climax you're forced to switch characters to a person you've grown to hate. And honestly, I have absolutely no problem with the writing in Abby's story at all. I don't hate they made me play as Abby. I hate that they made me run through the vast majority of the main conflict as Ellie and when **** finally starts to hit the fan they blueballed me and simultaneously ruins the pacing and momentum the story has been building up to. Mildy annoyed you're left with a half chub from the impending climax, you have no choice but to hate Abby when you start down her story path.
    And the writers really didn't do her any favors. The first few hours playing as Abby do absolutely nothing to help redeem her in the players eyes. In reality it just drives that nail of hatred further into your big toenail making you want to run through her story at lightspeed. And when you intentonally compel the player to not care about, or empathize with the character they've been made to take control of, players don't give too **** if Abby redeems herself. You just want to zoom through her story and see how the standoff plays out. Much like an unwanted step-father's attention; it just feels forced.

    Now I will say that even though Abby's story gives her some surface level redemption, what really made me come around was how fun the gameplay was towards the end of Abby's story.

    You beat some **** ass as Abby. You have some really amazing visuals climbing the skyscraper bridge. And some amazing gameplay featuring action sequences which is mostly lacking from the first half of the game. That is solely where her redemption comes from in my opinion and allowed me to finally connect with her as a character.

    Conclusion: With great gameplay, stunning environments, and generally a pretty decent story with fleshed out characters; the real thing holding this game back from being great is, what I can only assume, artistic liberties/choices taken by the games director. The choice to switch to Abby when he did instead of switching periodically just completely stops all the momentum and tension the story has going for it. "Is Ellie finally going to get this ****

    "Will the people of Jackson get vengeance for Joel's brutal murder on their own turf?"

    "Can Ellie find a way to forgive Joel for robbing her of a sense of meaning from her life?" "Will Abby get bent over a desk by some guy that died 6 hours ago?!?!?"

    These are the questions I found myself asking instead of paying attention to what was supposed to humanize an otherwise ****ty person.

    ENDING: I've seen a lot or people upset that Ellie doesn't kill Abby in the end. Personally I thought it was fine she opted to not kill Abby. Did I think Abby deserved to die? Yes. Did I want her to die? You **** bet, bud.

    The entire duration of Ellie's gameplay we only get flashbacks of Joel where he's painted in a terrible light. (Outside of the museum memory) But finally when we are about to turn that **** Abby's lights out for good we get a flash to a memory of Joel. One where he's not bleeding out on the floor. Or an uncomfortable conversation. We get a flash to a memory of forgiveness. We finally see Joel in a good light, and that's what made me okay with Ellie not finishing the job. Finaly thoughts: This game could have been an easy 9/10 with better direction. So in my opinion its Neil that's to blame for the Lukewarm experience.

My only complaints are that there is no addition of multiplayero nor any additional gameplay beyond the campaign. New game plus does provide some incentive for replayability however it does not do enough to keep one playing the game for a long time. I gave the last of us 1 a perfect 10 and though this game does not equal the charm and impact of the first, it does live up to the hype and delivers on its promise to improve upon the technical features of the first… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My main issue with this game is some parts being very good, 10/10 even, and others being so unbelievably bad it almost makes you turn the game off. Naughty Dog did an excellent job in a bunch of different aspects, but ultimately failed in the most important one. I want to be clear, I do not hate the story, but i did not love it. I expected Joel to die and so did a lot of fans, and I don’t believe Joel was acting “out of character” for trusting Abby and her people. He had been in a trusting town for 4+ years and if you read the log book, they clearly try to help out whoever they can. However, the way Abby is set up simply makes it almost impossible to like or empathize with her. Joel was simply too beloved to be killed off like he was some NPC. And the fact that I had to play with his killer for 10-12+ hours was criminal. I don’t mind her being a playable character for a short amount (maybe 5-6 hours), but fans were told Ellie would be the only playable character by Druckmann himself so that was a slap in the face. Abby is also just a pretty **** person, the game tries to show you some good things she’s done to make you change your mind but Mel hit the nail on the head when she was **** her out. Naughty Dog also tried to make Ellie very unlikeable. They force you to do horrible things as her then judge you for it when you play as Abby (killing her dog for example). However, I actually really liked most of the new side characters; Dina and Jesse were great, and I think Abby’s crew had some bright spots as well. The acting in this game was some of the best i have ever seen, even with the subpar script they were given. Ashley Johnson absolutely killed it in every single scene. The facial expressions and animations are easily the best i’ve seen in a video game. The same thing can be said about the graphics, sound and music. The world Naughty Dog built and brought to life in this game is absolutely breathtaking, i found myself stopping and just admiring it regularly throughout the game. I have never felt this immersed in a game other than the first installment in this series. I’ve seen some complaints about how the gameplay hasn’t evolved at all since the last game and I don’t necessarily agree with that. While the core aspects of the gameplay may be the same even small additions like prone, dodge, and a knife that doesn’t break every time you use it give you so many more options on how to tackle each level. The puzzles in this game were your typical Naughty Dog puzzles. Not an extreme variety, you’ll get a few dumpsters and some ropes and a few secret entrances. TLOU will never blow you away with their puzzles. This game is rather easy to get lost in, however. Admittedly, I needed the hint feature to pop up on the screen a few times. The enemies in Part 2 suffer from
    the same thing they did in the first game: repetition. There isn’t much to say about this, you just fight the same 5 things the entire game, and most of them can be taken out with the same strategy. Human AI is still incredibly dumb with extremely narrow fields of vision. Dogs were a neat addition but ultimately very easy to counter. Overall, i rate this game a 7/10 with the cons being a bad set up for one of the protagonists, Joel dying way too early in the game, the way he died, drawn out sections of the game, repetitive enemies and lazy writing. The pros of this game are the graphics, acting, animation, sound, music, and level design. The story for the game as a whole falls somewhere in between pros and cons.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Setting aside my review not as a fan but a writer. Like many of us, I understand the grief to have lost one of our most beloved character. Joel set us up on a emotional roller coaster that delivered such a beautiful ending in TLOU part 1. As much as I would like to give this story a negative review I truly believe the narrative is remarkable. Yet there is no redemption in vengeance.

    The ending left me with one question.. How am I supposed to feel?

    Ellie didn't grow from her experience, she simply.. Lost it all. Abby lost her father and all of her friends, yet she continued to suffer. Both characters showed emotional and heavy losses throughout the game but none of these characters were able to grow from their experiences. The game is an emotional wreck and the constant shifts of characters eluded any real meaning that could've made for a more or better less, redemption story.

    Beside the death of Joel the only other part of the game that I got emotional on was seeing a malnourished Abby. Only then did I feel for her character knowing that both characters suffered so much. Because of vengeance? To find justice? We're rewarded with nothing but grief.

    I feel pity for both of these character.    … Expand

It feels to me like they were trying to subvert expectations so hard that they lost sight of what the players actually liked about the first game. The story manages to be so slow, yet you feel rushed during certain areas. It's a very simple concept story wise, however it can come accross as lazy and boring. If they wanted to do the revenge anger story line there were other ways to do it that didn't involve THAT scene, but that's my personal opinion. You can tell in certain areas where they are trying so hard to make you feel something for certain characters, which spoils it. They give other characters better weapons and upgrades, just so as you'll enjoy playing as them more. Towards the end it felt too jumpy story wise. What was good about the first game was it only time jumped through seasons and the very start, however I feel like they made left behind, and because it did well, they decided to use that formula. However it doesn't work as well here, it's just so jumpy through many different times that it's messy and disorientating. I am honestly so disappointed. I think there's a way to respect what the players wanted and not pander to them, however this wasn't it. But subverting expectation so badly and so much it feels like a Game of thrones season 8 catastrophe. Naughty dog seems to always hit stories out of the park but this one was a miss for me. I'm so gutted.… Expand

The story itself had a good concept, however some of the story dragged on for way too long, which made me lose interest quite quickly. My favourite thing for me about this game, in terms of story, had to be the fact Ellie was left by everyone at the end due to only wanting revenge and not thinking about any of her other friends. Due to her fingers getting bitten off at the end she couldn’t play guitar, which is meant to represent Joel and Cos of that she leaves the guitar and her memories of Joel behind.

    However my favourite thing about this game for me was the soundtrack. Oh my god it’s probably the best I’ve ever heard for a game with how dynamic and how well suited it is to the different environments!

After finishing The Last Of Us Part II I feel no need for a continuation, because I honestly don't care about that story anymore. Unfortunately for us, it took a direction that was mostly about impact and 'cringeness' than actually the great storytelling that the original had.After finishing The Last Of Us, I was so eager to continue playing that story.

A personagem Abby foi pessimamente apresentada apesar da gameplay com ela não ter sido má de todo.

    Se o jogo tivesse tido mais diálogo entre os personagens e tivesse dado um motivo à Ellie de perceber que não valeria mais a pena procurar por vingança ,aí teríamos tido empatia, mas não, preferiram deixar que ela perdesse tudo que amava.    … Expand

    This game is not as bad as everyone says it is, but it isn't perfect. It is really boring at points, especially in the second half. The combat didn't change much other than the fact you can dodge and go prone. The story was fine, but pretty bad for a Last of Us sequel. The graphics are incredible. Story - 5/10. Gameplay - 7/10. Graphics- 10/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that the game is not bad. Personally, I liked it.
    But! But there are some issues that I put 7/10 on.
    (1) JOEL'S DEATH. Yes, it is terrible and because of this already disappears some desire to play. I don't mind such a strong plot twist. BUT... but not at the beginning of the game! In the end, it would be better or better in the middle of the game, so that the emotions are stronger bursting. Well, also because of his death, there is a lack of a charismatic companion, because Dina is no good as a companion.
    (2) the PLOT. There are a few quibbles at this point:
    1) Trusting Joel and Tommy to strangers (Abby's company).
    2) The final game. Ellie was killing everyone in her path to kill Abby, and she stopped at the last moment. Of course, it could be put down to her comparing herself and Joel to Abby and the Lion. But **** This is such nonsense.
    3) the Storyline behind Abby. Yes, this is an interesting move to tell the motivation of the enemy. BUT it was so boring to play for her. But in places it was really interesting to watch. But other than that, it was boring, and honestly, I didn't give a **** Since I was more interested in watching Ellie's story. We would have done two hours of gameplay for it and everything is OK.
    (3) LGBT. I have nothing against LGBT people. As if who wants who and... Well, you understand. But the game is really too much with this theme. Sometimes there are moments where it was possible not to insert. And with friends noticed that the game has a lot of enemies NPC women.
    Well, the graphics and development in the game are great. I liked that we added the ability to crawl and jump over obstacles. I also liked the weapons in the game.
    Well, in the end, I liked the game, I got a lot of emotions from it, which made my mouth open in shock, and I can even say that I got a lot of sad emotions from the game, too. Especially after the final game, I couldn't sleep for two hours after that. But TLOU 1 will still be better.
    P.S. it is Better to take the game when there are discounts.    … Expand

    - Improved on the visceral weighty combat of its predecessor while reducing the frequency of daft puzzle sections. Loved it.

    - Second best looking game this console generation - right behind Horizon Zero Dawn.

    - The game tells a message instead of a story. Heartbreaking is the word- in a multitude of ways.

There were actually times when I was literally laughing out loud at how absurd the game was getting and my wife was laughing too. In addition, the number of glitches and bugs I found on the sad side. I found one bug that had me actually stuck in a prone position in a truck and I couldn't get out without restarting the game. I found other bugs like infected stuck in the environment and not reacting to sound at all. There was one where i was told to lure the infected out with noise, nothing worked so i had to navigate while looking through a scope to find the infected i was missing. Real fun "rolls eyes". I really find it hard to believe that anyone who is giving this a 10 has played through the 2nd half of the game never mind the whole thing. Here is an example of a non spoiler issue LOL. There is a fence. Character says I need to find my way around. In front of the fence is a garbage can that if the game allowed you to, you could just climb on the garbage can and hop over the fence. There are quite a few of these moments in the game when you are scratching your head saying, "Why would they have me do this when i can just go right there?" I understand the whole suspend belief thing, but when my wife and I are actually laughing...

    is the game worth playing? Yes. I think they put a lot of time and effort into the game. As I am familiar with the area in the first part of the game, they did take some liberties ;) If you can overlook a lot of the silliness in the game (I think the general premise of this game was built around a silly idea) it is a pretty interesting game. I am playing it on hard and while the game mentions there are a lot less supplies, I never found myself running out of ammo or resources.    … Expand

    The gameplay is great. AI is pretty intelligent and more dangerous and allies are actually helpful.
    Graphics are excellent, the amount of details are really impressive and animations are at the next level.

    That whole think with custom difficulty and controls is pretty nice. And if you have some kind of health issues like blindness or so, you can still play it and i think that is good step forward not only for Naughty Dog, but for whole game industry.

    But at the other hand there is a story and story is a VERY big part of The last of us.
    From the beginning i thought it's not that bad even though the "golf part" (even it came earlier then every fan expected). But later they just made you do something in the cutscene and wanted you to feel guilty for this and later it just seemed like they're incriminating Ellie for what she did and they where putting this new character in front of her.
    We all know that Ellie isn't the only playable character (even though Neil said otherwise before the release), but the other character is completely new, and i think that we played as Abby (new character) for too long and that was unnecessary.

    i didn't bought this game because I wanted story of new good-bad character and little bit of angry Ellie, i bought this game because i wanted to see how Ellies and Joels relationship went after the events of the first game and how they continued in they journey and maybe some new characters, but not in the way they would throw a shadow over the main protagonist from first The last of us.
    I know that Neil wanted to do first game more like Joels story and the second game do more like Ellies story, but it come out as Ellies and Abbys story and as i said, it was unnecessary.

    The way they putted the story really broke my heart and i know that Neil can do better...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t know what to think about this game. The gameplay is comprised of tense stealth segments and brutal shooting and melee combat. The stealth is still as tense and nerve-wracking as it is in the first game and there are minimal changes to combat besides some improved gore, animations and a dodge button.
    The guns still feel clunky and hard to aim, the controls still trapped in 2013, whereas the combat feels realistic and as brutal as the developers intended, giving perfect feedback to the weight of the weapons and force of the hits through vibrations in the DualShock controller. Human enemies cry out the names of their fallen companions and the dying cries of the people you mercilessly slaughter make you question why you’re killing them. The gameplay is essentially the same, for better or for worse, with some minor tweaks and improvements. I personally think it works perfectly to create intense action set-pieces (like the car chase or the melee fights with the beefy seraphites) and highly tense stealth segments.

    The environments are absolutely stunning, with nature engulfing the urban landscapes even more so than in the first game. The contrast of the grey buildings of Seattle and the green foliage and the harsh sounds of the rushing rivers creates a post-apocalyptic setting unlike any other. The lighting is phenomenal, with rays shining through windows and reflecting off of surfaces in realistic ways. All of this makes for a fantastic world that feels amazing to explore for the game’s 25 hour run time. The story however, feels confused and is riddled with plot-holes and inconsistencies. The story follows Ellie on a revenge plot, after Joel is murdered in front of her by Abby ( another playable character). The first 10 or so hours of the story were enjoyable, well paced and concise including new companion characters who I believe to have depth and be believable. Ellie however, does not respond to situations as she did in the first game. While this could be representative of the grief Ellie feels controlling and twisting her choices and decision making, I feel as though she makes incredibly poor choices that had me sighing or even laughing at times. At what seems to be climax of Ellie’s story, the player is given control of Abby for around 10 hours. This idea seems interesting and nuanced but feels far too long and somewhat frustrating as it cuts off Ellie’s story abruptly. Abby’s story attempts to create guilt in the player, showing that everyone suffers loss and grief in the cruel world of The Last of Us. While this story is rather effective at humanising the antagonist of Ellie’s campaign, showing the reason she killed Joel and her compassion for others, it feels misplaced and ill-paced. Perhaps if it was incorporated earlier or split into smaller gameplay segments it would help the stale flow that the middle part of the story suffers from. The ending of the story is not one I expected, but one I feel is nuanced and unique. It challenges what the player would expect from an ending in a story like this, challenging the morality of every decision Ellie (and the player) has made and how warped her intentions have become due to grief. While many players will feel frustrated or dissatisfied by the ending, I feel as though it provokes an interesting thought process. While the gameplay is perfectly brutal with intense gore and fantastic animations, the story feels muddled, deconstructing characters we loved from the first game and including an overly long segment following characters the player will most probably hate, yet it does have some shining moments of genuinely great story telling and narrative. While it’s certainly not for everyone, I’m sure many people will thoroughly enjoy this game. My recommendation is to play the first game, the left behind dlc and only play the sequel if you adore the gameplay of the first game enough to redeem the clumsy plot.    … 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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
