    If you go into this game blindly and you have any amount of empathy, you'll probably love it by the time you finish it. I think it is a masterpiece. Don't believe the senseless hate.

    And honestly.. all these game critics who gave this game 10/10, are shooting themselves in the foot

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After some time past and I have finally finished playing this masterpiece I have time to write a review. Objectively speaking the game earns 10 out of 10. And even if we consider the fact that the first part of this game was an unrepeatable masterpiece and a Magnum Opus from ingenious Neil Druckman, the Last of Us part 2 comes insanely close to this border. The game is huge and enhanced at least 3 time in comparison with the first part. It affected both story and locations. When first time you enter the Center of Seattle you are amazed by such a huge sizes of map. Your first thousghts accompanied by extraordinary amazement and euphoria, "wait this should be the main location where story takes place". With an excitement you look for resources, cards and other stuff because game wants tyou to do. Game is not easy and casual and you have to do your best to adequtely spend resources. Each shot is done by risk. Each bullet costs. SO you enjoy searching for loot. Locations are not easy and usually are accompanied by enemies like uneasy zombies, people and even dogs. Each type of enemy requires you to choose different style of playing. And this is plus. By the walkthrough you would visit the most of the places of the entire Seattle and this is not all. Game is insanely big and wide. It is not just a corridor shooter, but a really interesting stells action. In terms of mechanics game offers interesting amount of ways to play. You can crawl under cars, under grass. You can break windows and other stuff. And in terms of level design it is also interesting. Story telling and musical accompanement are one of uppermost important features in the game. Story is not too fast and not to hectic. It takes you from the beginning and scurpulously opens its cards. The philosophical idea that lies below the game is interesting. And narrative directors did a really good job. Many times you would think that the game is going to end. But it has more to show you. Sometimes you might get bored but accident plot twist will not allow you to get so. In terms of sounds and musical accompaniement, Gustavo is genious of music. All of the music in the are clearly in phase with the hard and uneasy story. The game will make you cry in some scenes. And the sound of guitar which represents the heaviness of the plot will blow up your emotions. And finally I don`t understand people yelling about this game. I really can`t see minuses except of some minor issues. But at all I can`t see the game by their eyes. Before the game I haven`t entered metacritic to not to destroy my expectations. So my opnion is fully objective. 10/10 magnum opus, great job Naughty dog, I think to repeat such an achievement would be hard. Expand

    Sadly, the writing - though it has its moments - is just not good enough for a story driven game. Some plot points are flat out bad. It’s always a problem when writers force their real life politics and ideologies in their games (regardless if it makes sense or adds to the story), just trying to educate the player how to think properly. TLOU2 is doing exactly that. It’s The Last Jedi and GOT S8 all over again. Since the story and the characters are the main selling point for this game, their quality will make up most of my rating score and as a fan of the original I couldn’t avoid the feeling that Part II isn’t just not written for me - i.e. fans of the original - but intentionally to piss me of; just as if the writers didn’t like the original and wanted to kill its legacy on purpose. I just feel cheated.
    The Gameplay is quite repetitive and doesn’t really come up with anything new in respect of the first part (Which isn’t really necessary to be fair)
    Overall it’s a beautiful looking disappointment of a game that had the potential for true greatness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's no direct spoilers as such but I have put the spoiler warning on just for how I talk about a certain section or two. I have just finished my first playthrough of the Last of Us Part 2 and have played 46 hours and 37 minutes according to my autosave. It is a very worthy sequel to the original which I absolutely adore and is probably my all time favourite game. I absolutely love part 2. I was devastated early on, though I don't think I was surprised though in denial about what may come up until everything transpired, and it actually affected my mood going forward in to the beautiful settle. I suppose I was in a very sombre state and had cried in a way I hadn't cried at a game before. On top of crying, I laughed later on as I came out of my funk and then was in terrified at a section later on in the game. The game plays really well, and I love being able to go prone reminding me a bit of metal gear crawling through the greenery. There's quite a bit of as you'd expect gameplay wise and great story telling as you'd expect with a Naughty Dog game. It threw some unexpected twists as well, playing as other characters to get a different perspective on the situation. It's very gory at times, very bloody and certain things are wince enducing. It's a very brutal world and is portrayed very well and it's a game I highly recommend to anyone that loves story driven games with a stunning world. Expand

    Nobody can deny the amazing visuals and overall quality of this game. That being said I don’t think Neil Druckman could of done a worse job with the story. The heavy handed liberal nonsense is pushed at you basically from the start. Terrible narrative which was such a large part of what made the first game great.

    As I write this, the man is bragging about the *amount* of reviews on metacritic, stating it has exceeded the amount given to the previous game. It says everything you need to know about him and his philosophy - "get attention at all costs" and "no such thing as bad press".

    As for the game itself, there is no game. There never was - this game, as well as the previous one, were all about the story and the characters. And since that aspect didn't just fail, but actively antagonizes and spits in the faces of both new players and old fans alike, it doesn't have any saving grace.

    It's absolute garbage and the equivalent of someone taking a dump in the middle of the room.

    It's simply uncivilized.

    Visuals: 9/10 - phenomenal looking game
    Sound: 9/10 - sounds intense when it needs to, and emotional at other times
    Voice Acting: 10/10 - very convincing performances on par with movie level
    Gameplay: 3/10 - here is where things take a dip, how is the gameplay not any better (or even worse at times) than from the prior entry that is 7+ years old? It's not innovative, glitchy, non responsive sometimes, and overall very shallow and got boring within a few hours
    Story: 1/10 - it seems that the writers completely missed what made the original game good. This game disrespects characters, has others make irrational decisions that do not align with their personalities nor the plot, introduces new characters that are unfortunately irrelevant (sorry but we don't care about them), and lastly lacks any message/theme/point in the end. What is the takeaway from this game? What did we learn or think about? It contradicts all the takeaways of the original, it contradicts itself and its new narrative, and frankly it doesn't make sense at the end. Maybe next time Sony should have less political messaging in their game and more competent writers.

TLOU 1 was a masterpiece, it was story like we never seen before, it was breathtaking. TLOU 2 is beautiful looking game and it has great gameplay. Well gameplay doesn't have much innovation, but it worked in TLOU1 so i am good, but i don't get what happened during development of this game. How could they give this story green light. The story itself is just a messy garbage. None of the characters are interesting NONE!!! When some character dies you feel nothing like they werent even there and they die a lot. I just don't get why would you follow first game story with a story about revenge it seems lazy. This whole theme revenge is bad it's stupid. half of the game is basically pointless it's just the same **** but from the enemy side. After finishing this game I just feel like i wasted 30 hours. iT was truly horrible experience and i hope everybody that reads this review will understand that this mess is not worth your time and money.

    Besides that, I'm really tired post-apocalyptic games/movies/shows where it's all about shock value. If you can't write something decent, you go for shock factor and that's pretty prevalent in this genre. This game turns that mantra up to 11 and unfortunately, tarnishes the first game in the process.

    Would not recommend.

    О сюжете: он великолепно построен. Никакое произведение не идеально, к каждой детали можно придраться, но эта игра получила шквал критики из-за гомофобии, трансфобии и прочих порочащих наше общество вещей.
    В сюжете прекрасно проводят параллели: беременные персонажи для зеркальных ситуаций и описания Эбби и Элли с точки зрения поведения в похожих ситуациях; местами кольцевой сюжет, показывающий флешбеки из начала в конце повествования; акценты во флешбеках (например, невозможность игры на гитаре сменяется сценой, где на гитаре играет Джоэл); да даже имена героинь созвучны для большего желания сопоставлять.
    Все персонажи на своих местах, никого лишнего, всё позволяет раскрыть главных представителей сторон конфликта.
    Людям нужно больше думать над сюжетом, над эмоциями и над всем происходящем в картине, а не разбрасываться помоями.
    Мне чертовски обидно за всех, кто принимал участие в создании этого шедевра, потому что многим из них приходится получать гневные письма и даже угрозы смерти и жизни (как актрисе, которая сыграла Эбби). Я досмотрела титры до конца и благодарна каждому человеку, что приложил руку к этой игре.

    К сожалению, люди ждали не этого. И не все способны тратить время на разбор сюжета.
    Возможно, эффект ложного ожидания заключается в маркетинговой компании. Сцена лесбийского поцелуя, например. SONY знали, что многие издания на это отреагируют и сразу напишут о "гниющем обществе". Недавно я видела трейлер, в котором Элли бежит по тоннелям в метро с красным освещением. Я считаю, что с таких точек и нужно было рекламировать игру.

It’s insane how good this game looks on 7 year old hardware. The game-play is also amazing. ND took the pretty good gameplay from the first, and improved on some of the worst elements.

There is 2 thing that is horrible in TLOU2, the story and the characters, including Joel and Ellie, Story is really terrible and makes 0 sense IMO.

Animations are good, mechanics are good, the combat system is good, graphics are good, horse mechanics are bad dialogues are good, Since the main points of TLOU are the story and the characters it is 1/10, This review may take hella dislikes but this is my personal idea so I don't care.

    Won’t Say any spoilers about the Game but I will tell you right now The Game is Good. Not Great But good. The Gameplay is The Best Experience you will ever have. The story is Good and Bad. The ending is the worst ending you will ever see in a Video Game sequel. So it is your choice if you like to try this game. Great Gameplay. Not so Great Story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Разочарование года, с унылым повествованием, посредственным геймплеем и абсурдным исходом. История должна была цеплять, но что мы имеем в итоге? Со смертью лучшего персонажа умерла и игра, Элли не смогла заменить протагониста первой части, а путешествия и вся лгбт-нудятина с подружкой и их неинтересными "отношениями" ни в какой счет не идет с путешествием и реально развитием отношений старика и девочки в стиле дорожного приключения. Первая часть основывалась на взаимоотношении двух разных персонажей, они находили общий язык, поддерживали друг друга, что вторая часть просто взяла и растоптала. Вы хотели сделать хорошую игру? Что ж, определенные аспекты, несомненно, удались, только какой смысл есть конфету, когда в это время тебя поливают дер*мом? Expand

    To preface this, I was a massive fan of the first game and more specifically, it’s characters.

    Only minor plot spoilers.

    To preface this, I was a massive fan of the first game and more specifically, it’s characters. Joel and Ellie’s relationship felt natural, as well as their character decisions and development - and while the game overall had a dark tone due to the world it was set in, there was still a sense of optimism and hope carried by the wonderful father-daughter relationship that developed over a well-paced, simplistic story. The story wasn’t particularly original (much like the newest title) but it was told without trying to overcomplicate or overanalyse and let the relationship carry the game. Unfortunately, what players loved about the first game is destroyed in the sequel. I fail to see who this game was supposed to appeal to - most of the new characters that the game desperately tries to get you to sympathise with are thoroughly unlikeable, and not once did I feel guilty for enacting Ellie’s vengeance upon them. The game is pretty explicit in that it is wants you desperately not to feel like this and does everything to make you feel bad about killing. This wouldn’t be an awful plot device if used in a different form of media, but forcing the player to kill and then say ‘wow, you’re a really bad person’ isn’t effective and the ‘violence is bad, revenge destroys everything’ motto that is echoed throughout the game is painful and inaffective at, well, anything.

    The game isn’t without positive moments, though. There are flashbacks with our loved protagonists from the first game that genuinely brought me to tears, and the gameplay is a nice upgrade from the first game although not revolutionised. Ultimately, the Last of Us Part II is at its best when focusing on the relationships between characters - while I thoroughly disliked most of the new additions, Ellie’s girlfriend Dina stood out as one of my favourites. She is funny, passionate, and their relationship feels natural. Every time the game changed to focus on its antagonist, I just wanted to get back to more important plot moments with this duo. To sum it up, The Last of Us Part II took some great narrative risks that didn’t pay off but has redeemable qualities. The developers obviously aimed to make this a harrowing experience that would make the player feel depressed and look at the original characters in a new light - instead, it feels painfully hollow and disconnected from everything the first game did so well.

    It is amazing how can one of the most amazing games ever can become a flat, unbelievable, hollow experience, riddled with identity politics. The irony here is that the game developer is pandering to a woke mob that will never play the game and pay for it, but completely rejects its loyal fanbase.

    As for the game engine, it is amazing and breath taking. Everything is extremely detailed

    As for the game engine, it is amazing and breath taking. Everything is extremely detailed and immersive. The mechanics and physics integration is spot on. The game story on the other hand is flat, hollow and unbelievable. Characters decision are poor and suffer from a tunnel vision syndrome.
    Everything feels artificial and sanitized. You can feel it as a metallic taste in your mouth for an hour to come.

    The only thing I felt when playing the game was red hot anger, because they ruined the master piece that the original one was.

    Sound: Baker an Bailey did a great job, as expected of them.

    Gameplay: Upgrade of gameplay system from part 1, but it got boring to me halfway in. Violence can be off puting to some, but I personally wasn't bothered by it.

    Story: I just couldn't resonate with characters. Doing a genocide is good through the game, but somehow killing is bad when telling their story. Half of the game story feels like a bad sidequest from rpgs, implememeted just to have higher playtime.

    TL:DR If you liked 1 one for gameplay, you will probably enjoy this. If you enjoyed 1st one for story, you will cringe with characters with more plot holes than swiss chesse

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Forgive me if this review is hard to understand. I'm not the best at writing. This is my personal take on the ending and why I believe the ending was fantastic. Ellie gained her humanity by not killing abby. She didn't kill someone out of revenge. It took ellie hitting rock bottom to realize that this viscous cycle of hatred just needed to end. It was over. Killing abby wouldn't bring joel back.


    Abby and ellie go through the same experiences, just at different times and they handled the situations differently. Abby got her revenge in a brutal way.... but she still felt empty. Killing joel wasn't the solution she thought it would be so ultimately she decides to go back and help Lev and Yara (the queen) as a desperate attempt at some kind of personal redemption. Also, her nightmares about the hospital continue after killing joel.... implying that getting revenge truly did not give her the closure she thought it would. Ellie murdering abby when she's just trying to take care of lev at this point (which is similar to joel taking care of ellie) would have taken everything from her. She would have lost every part of herself that made her human. She would have lost herself beyond redemption. She saw a chance to keep a part of herself (her logic, common sense, human decency, hope, humanity) by not killing abby, and she took it. She realized that the cycle had done nothing but cause death and loss to both her and abby. Abby lost mel, Owen, Nora, and Alice. Ellie lost joel, jj, jesse, and dina. And in a way, abby and ellie lost a part of themselves. Abby lost basically all of her humanity by actually taking revenge. Ellie lost a bit of her humanity and her common sense. She abandoned something she wanted more than anything (a happy family) just to continue the rage cycle. However, she didn't do the same thing they did, which gave her hope and humanity. She didnt continue the viscous cycle. She became better than abby and the other WLFs. She broke the hateful cycle. She made a choice to save what little bit of herself she could. In that moment, it wasn't a game about loss anymore. It was a game about hope and human decency.

Se avete sempre voluto giocare nei panni di Micah Bell in red dead redemption 2, o avete sempre sognato un simulatore di golf degno di questo nome e se amate le storie di vendetta dove alla fine di una lunga sequela di morti fra uomini donne e bambini il protagonista decide, illuminato dalla grazia di padre pio, di risparmiare la persona reale oggetto della vendetta, allora questo è il gioco che fa per voi!!!! Immergetevi in un meraviglioso mondo post apocalittico dove le uniche brave persone rimaste sono gli zombie. Godetevi una trama coinvolgente quanto quella dell’ultima stagione di Game of Thrones, espedienti narrativi intelligenti come quelli di Star Wars rise of sky walker, personaggi costruiti con la stessa cura e attenzione delle comparse in 50 sfumature di grigio e un finale che vi farà rimpiangere quello di how I met your mother. Giocate nei panni di Ellie, l’amata coprotagonista del primo gioco e divertitevi a vivere una sequela interminabile di traumi e orrori che la segneranno a vita. Potrete giocare ( e dovrete) anche nei panni di Abby, figlia di un npc casuale del primo gioco (a quanto pare molto importante), e unica persona in tutta l’apocalisse ad avere una scorta segreta di steroidi e anabolizzanti. All’inizio potrete non amare lei e i suoi terribili amici, ma dopo svariate ore di gioco..... continuerete a detestarla, ma poi.... la odierete ancora di più.

Godetevi una storia avvincente e per nulla contorta e piena di cliché, intervallata da interminabili flashback, che sottraggono solo tempo prezioso per finire questo supplizio.

I am already playing it, and it was not as ambitious a game as they were commenting, those of naughty dog, I have noticed many bugs, a very serious downgrade, and I see that it has the same graphic engine as the first one. Abby's character seems like a robot, what an ugly character, I am playing as fast as possible to be able to kill her in the bloodiest way, because heck how horrible is, I have also noticed some lows of incredible frames, and even so the notes gave it a 96 and almost 100 in all really?, this smells like you paid journalists very well, that game becomes monotonous and continuous in graphics and things to do, the ps4 pro can not over there I suppose I think that in the next generation the graphic change will be noticed a little more and the game will be more fluid in terms of frames. But the story was shattered by the argument of leading Joel into an ambush so easily, such a careful guy, and who didn't help other people, is so stupid. well this game in my opinion is overrated, the score it should have had was a maximum of 70,For people who are used to playing good games, and who have good stories and good graphics, this does not surprise us, it is not innovative and leaves a lot to be desired, rather it seems that the first one is better composed in everything, because even in graphics making comparisons are better in the flashbacks of the moment that joel kills the doctor and runs away with ellie. This game was left to several Junior developers posing as seniors and they destroyed the story as well as the design of the characters that they did not like everyone,overrated score, that game is a 70.

    Joel acts completely out of character and dies in such an anticlimactic way, then you play as his killer for 8 hours. Even finding out why she did it doesn't help, she's such an obnoxious, poorly written character.

I had a daughter between the first and last game and was excited to play this second one.

It was not the right move I will be taking my copy to the resale shop tomorrow if they will take it. If you liked the relationships of the first game don't do it, if you only cared about game play then it's not so bad but if you care for story at all look somewhere else. 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]
