    Its sad to see so many people posting a bad score before even playing it. You know, just because a character is gay in the story, does not mean that there is an “agenda” gay people do exist in real life y’know.

    Visualmente y gameplay es asombroso, cuenta una historia muy oscura y triste de venganza que te hace reflexionar y no te deja con una satisfacción al terminarlo como otros juegos con final feliz. Es una muy arriesgada pero valorable apuesta en comparación con lo que estamos acostumbrados a ver en los vídeos juegos.

    A near-masterpiece. While not as tight and single-minded as part 1, its peaks go above and beyond everything that part 1 offered. As far as writing goes, this is the closest games have ever gotten to the artistry, humanity and emotional weight of top-tier television and film. Do not sleep on this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Getting this out of the way quickly: This game isn't as good as the first one. It's almost impossible to live up to the standard of the first one, simply because of one thing: expectations. The first game came out to almost no fanfare, mainly because it was a brand new IP in a genre that had started to wear out its welcome (zombie apocalypse survival), and became a smash hit, primarily because of the emotionally resonant story. This game had expectations on it as soon as it was revealed, so it was almost impossible to please everybody with this.

    That being said... here's what I liked and disliked about it:

    Pros:
    1) Gameplay is still solid
    - While most of the mechanics are the same as the first one (no complaints there), there are some new additions that keep things fresh and interesting, such as swimming, dodging, rope mechanics, dogs that can sniff out your position, new types of infected, crawling, silencers on pistols, and more.

    2) Visually stunning
    - This one is pretty obvious. Even the negative reviews of the game acknowledge this.

    3) Acting is top-notch
    - You won't find much better acting performances in any video game ever, especially the leads (Joel, Ellie, and Abby). Even the seemingly-minor characters are performed well.

    4) Narrative risk-taking that paid off
    -This is where things might get controversial. Naughty Dog took some huge risks in this game, and the fallout from these risks is readily apparent (Joel dying early on, and playing as Joel's murderer for most of the second half of the game, is what most of the negative gripes on the game are). However, I personally think they worked: while playing as Abby was a little frustrating at first, you begin to realize that there is more than one perspective in this apocalyptic universe... everybody is the hero of their own story. Because we were only exposed to Joel and Ellie's point of view in the first game, it is easy to say that they're the good guys. However, looking at the first game's ending from an outsider's view (someone that isn't emotionally involved in Joel and Ellie's story), you see a man who took away the chance at a potentially life-changing cure because he wanted to save a little girl, killing everyone he ran into along the way. Once you see it that way, it's hard to think of Joel as a hero. Even Ellie seems to think Joel did the wrong thing. Playing as Abby basically forces the player to humanize with the "enemy," making us empathize with all of the people that we spent the first half of the game brutally murdering. Once you get into Abby's story a bit, things turn around, and honestly the game picks up quite a bit in terms of set pieces and exciting encounters. Games like this take the choice out of the player's hands and force them to live with the choices these players make, and if one can shun their hate for just a moment and try to relate to these characters, the result is pretty rewarding. Plus, most of the fun stuff (gameplay-wise) happens in Abby's story, if you can make it there.

    5) Story as a whole is resonant
    -I personally don't think the story is as bad as people say. Even though I was exposed to the leaks before playing, I tried not to let those things ruin it for me. I'll say this: context matters a lot in films and video games alike. Just reading out the plot points will make almost every story seem boring and poorly-written. In this case, the story unfolds naturally, and if you let it, it all makes sense and doesn't feel ham-fisted into the narrative in order to make something happen. While the brutal violence didn't make me question my actions like a lot of reviewers say, the idea that the cycle of revenge isn't good for anyone was a good lesson to end on.

    Cons:
    1) The ending
    -I didn't hate what the ending was going for... I just feel that the way they executed it was sloppy. I can kind of forgive Abby not killing Ellie and Dina in the theater (Lev was there and convinced her it not to do it, but it still feels wrong), it was a little harder to forgive Ellie not killing Abby at the end. At first, she seemed content with letting her go as they walked to the boats, then she suddenly wants to kill her, and then... she doesn't? I get that change of heart happens, but three times in the span of a couple minutes? They could have executed it a lot better.

    2) Game doesn't get truly exciting until the second half
    - I didn't hate the set pieces and the encounters in the first half as Ellie, but... it all felt the same as the first game. As much as I loved the first game, I want things to feel a LITTLE different... it got stale fast. Sadly, you have to get past the Abby vitriol in order for the game to get truly fresh and exciting.

    3) Some of the characters sucked
    -Although the main characters are great, some of the side characters are just... there. Characters like Jesse and Dina and don't really have visible personalities, they just exist, making it hard to really care about them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part II deals in some aspects that I've never seen in a game before. It respects the true narrative of Ellie's story, as she's not the sweet girl from before the final act of the first game. A lot has gone through her mind in those years after the hospital massacre.. she feels guilty about those lives taken by Joel, but she also wants to forgive him, and that's brilliantly shown in the flashbacks. Of course, the narrative could've been different, and that's my issue, but that's art. The concept of art is not giving us what we want, but to give us something from the point of view of the artist. I've become very found of Abby, as I learned her story. She's a victim of Joel's rampage to save Ellie and that's one of the reasons I think she spared Abby in the end. Joel loved Ellie, but he was traumatized by what happened to Sarah and his wife, in that he couldn't bare to lose the last person he really cared about (of course there's Tommy, but you know what I mean). The things he did culminated on his death, and the narrative does not have flaws right here.
    The gameplay and graphics are incredible. I grew tired of the same stealth kill animations after sometime, and that's my main issue. It's a stealth game, they should've invested more on this.
    The story is not for everyone. If you're someone who sees same sex relationships with prejudice and disrespect, you should not play this game.. actually you should stick to games with muscular men and things like that (every homophobic has a fragile masculinity). Other than that, the story is painful. Heavy. And you need to pay attention to everything so you don't become an internet troll, throwing in the trash the effort of the people involved in this amazing project.
    A great game. Surely GOTY 2020!    … Expand

    Invested from beginning to end, I spent an arduous and emotional six days to complete it. It proved my theories that video games are the future medium for entertainment. In a world where movies have grown stagnant and television has taken over, there’s nothing like experiencing a story you’re actually a part of.

    In a game like this, it’d be cheap and ill-fitting to give the player choice. And I say this as a person who had difficulty pressing the square button a few times during it. Giving us choice takes away from the narrative and sticking to the narrative doesn’t feel like you’re not in control. It’s a matter of preference, as with everything, but for me, I’m satisfied with every part of it and am on a NG+ run through as we speak, noticing different things. That, and I also don’t know what game can ever follow this one up for me—not something I say lightly (I wasn’t big into God of War, for example.)

The story fits the brutal tone of the last of us world, provides several twists along the way, and concluded in the way I hoped for by the end of the journey.

Many of those artefacts were useless and did not provide anything important to the main story.

За всю игру насчитал примерно 5+- таких упоминаний (причём почти все были абсолютно ненавязчивыми). Ну и если в 2020 вас тригерят лесбиянки и т.д., то земля пухом чё)) Ну а теперь ближе к самой игре:
    Честно, не понимаю, почему так много людей недовольны сюжетом, потому что он абсолютно нормальный с интересными поворотами, очень много флэшбеков Элли или некоторые катсцены вообще доводили меня до мурашек. Игра пытается донести правильные мысли, пытается показать что хорошо, а что плохо, пытается вывести на какие то чувства и т.д. Конечно на 10 из 10 сюжет не вытягивает, но он не плох.
    Про геймплей: я играл на "выживании" и поэтому почти каждая локация это был некий челендж. Мало ресов, сложный стелс, сильные враги и т.д. Для меня геймплей не был скучный, хотя можно было бы его сделать слегка разнообразнее. В принципе он не сильно отличается от геймплея 1 части. Кстати, понравились перки. Они почти все полезные и зачастую было сложно выбирать, что же лучше сейчас прокачать, в отличие от прокачки оружия. Некоторые апгрейды уж совсем беспонтовые (и таких примерно половина).
    Не знаю вообще, будет ли это кто то читать или нет, для меня была единственная цель - поднять немного рейтинг игры, которая не заслуживает такой низкой оценки дурачков, которых тригерит лгбт тематика в игре.
    Ну вроде всё... Респект Нил Дракманну за то, что показал в игре то, что он хотел. Респект Ноти Догу за то, что сделали, наверное лучшую игру за последние несколько лет на пс. Я кайфовал от каждого момента, проведённого в этой игре (кроме одной локи с огромным количеством врагов... ну зачем????)

    Мне очень понравилась игра The Last of Us 2! Да в ней есть повестка, и что с того, мне абсолютно наплевать кто там кого любит. Эбби перекачанная, ну хорошо что после стрессов она не обжиралась а в зал шла, не окунулась в депрессию а жила местью. А как поступили бы вы? Джоэла убили, а вы чего хотел бессмертного Джоэла ?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game sits somewhere between a 7 and an 8 for me. It's no where near the masterpiece that was the first game, however it brings to the realities of living in a post apocalyptic world.
    Most people hate the story, and understandably it takes away one of our favourite characters, that we've come to love over and over again with the first game. Using a character we have no knowledge or love for to kill Joel is upsetting to say the least. The game then forces you to walk a few miles in Abby's shoes, to make you feel a sort of empathy for her. Whilst I continued to dislike Abby throughout the game we saw her begin to change. Where she had been lost before, her only purpose to seek revenge, now she wants to do some good. The character building was slightly weak, she had a very back and white attitude within the first few hours of gameplay and seemed to take great pleasure in killing, which is the complete opposite to Ellie.
    Abby is somewhat a reflection of Joel. When we first met Joel he was selfish and only did something if something was in it for him. We see Joel develop over time as he is made to take Ellie on this journey. I see a lot of this in Abby when she meets Lev. Her goals and perspective changethroughout the game, and her journey becomes about hope of a new beginning.
    There are weaknesses in the story. I for one did not like the idea of trying to kill Ellie as Abby. Why the developer thought this was a good isea, I don't know. I still disliked Abby at this point and it was my least favourite part of the game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *My first recommendation to someone looking to play this game, replay the first game before playing this. I think it really makes all the moments in the first half of the game feel even more powerful than they already are.*

    I think this game is getting way too bad of a wrap from a lot of people who either
    A) read the spoilers and never even gave the game a playthrough or..
    B) watched a streamer speed run it, paying zero attention to what the game was trying to portray

    It goes without saying that the graphics and gameplay are incredible as you would expect from this game, but this obviously isn't everyone's problem with the game.
    Joel: for everyone complaining about Joel's death, replay the first game before you play this and try not to get so mad when your favorite character dies (I don't remember people crying when Ned Stark got his head chopped off). Joel serves as a catalyst for Ellie's story in this game and it his death was very emotional for me keeping in mind a played both games back to back. This probably made it a more impactful death.
    Abby: by far the best part of this game (very controversial apparently). Her story is very similar to Joel's in the first game where she starts off very dehumanized because of your hatred for her after she kills Joel, but as the game goes on she regains a lot of that humanity (in the same way as Joel) by her protection of Yara and Lev. Everyone seems to be so blinded by their hatred for Abby that they refuse to even attempt to let Abby grow on them, and by that point, you can't ever develop an honest opinion on the game.
    Ellie: they push Ellie's bloodlust so far in this game that I began to dislike Ellie which I think was the entire point. i think you're supposed to see Ellie as unreasonable in her quest for revenge primarily to make you better understand Abby's side. Especially with Ellie going back to try kill Abby again at the end, it becomes so psychotic that you just start to lose it at Ellie, she has a family to look after now and she is selfish enough to still go for revenge. It's effective in the way that by the very end you don't want to kill Abby whereas I'm sure we all would've loved to at the start.
    Flashbacks: really effective for both characters development, especially Ellie's at the end of the game which helps you empathize with Ellie again

    Problems:
    A) The ending isn't the best, although I'm not annoyed that badly that Ellie goes back for Abby in the end, I think her forcing Abby to fight her was crazy as **** and probably too far. I think by that point Ellie should've just let her go straight up and that would've been more effective in resolving their conflict (Abby had already suffered enough by that point).
    B) The ordering is a bit off, I think it could've been interesting to put Abby's portion right after she kills Joel and maybe you would've felt more conflicted about Ellie taking revenge when you actually play as her rather than after the fact. But even if they changed this I think most people would still hate Abby irrationally.
    C) in playing as Abby for so long you do get a little lost in what Ellie is even fighting for (mainly just a problem with the massive gap in time between playing as Ellie and Abby)

    TL;DR
    An overall really solid game with some flaws that are way overstated. Abby is easily the best part of the game and stole the show for me. The game fails with redeeming Ellie's actions as she becomes more and more obsessed with revenge (which was probably the point). And no, there is no SJW agenda in this game, anyone saying that is probably just scared of gay and non-gender conforming people.    … Expand

    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z). I hate horrors.
    But I loved TLoU1 thanks to the story and relation between Joel and Ellie.
    The Part II is built on this relation, which was complicated by what Joel did and told at the end of Part 1. There are even some scenes in the same time as the Part 1, so we can live those time once again. But the weight of    I hate zombie games and movies (except Zombieland and World War Z).

    But the weight of the second story is much more heavy. I felt like a Charlie Sheen in Platoon - I could observe two similar persons eaten by hate and violence (somehow similar to Sheen observing two sergeants). And like in the Platoon similar persons become totally different. One chose hate to the end for any cost, even its own best friends and loved ones. The second... is changing on our eyes and chose redemption, compassion and hope.

    Meanwhile I could also watch the war, it's chaos and lies. At the end of the game I did what I could to not kill anymore if didn't need it, as I understood that what I was thinking about enemies before was simply not true - both sides had their rights and both were run by lunatics. And because the game shows violence so strong, I felt like I would really kill. And I felt these kills were bad.

    It was great adventure and great story. But still I hated the zombie parts - that's why I take 1 point from 10 and my honest score is strong 9.    … Expand

Its a game full of surprises and twists, combined with a imersive gameplay in a semi open world where you can deeply explore and craft.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know there are tons and tons of review of the game, but just look at the dates they were written, maybe this review will help you understand the game better. I have beaten the game, I take my sweet time with it trying to enjoy every little piece it has to offer. First of all, I’m a HUGE ND fan and I did not watch any trailer or any leak that came out, I like to experience it like a virgin. I think the game is not a 10/10 and I hope you understand why. After the success of TLOU, ND had a mountain to climb to make this game. The first one made such a revolution that it almost seems impossible to make this game, but they did and decisions had to be made. I did like the story, excluding a couple of moments, and I think the gameplay was a very good evolution from the first. The developers crafted a very cool system that adapts to your play style; melee, guns or stealth. Acting and music was very very good, also the environments were something that I had not seen before in a game. It’s obvious that the game has many many good things, but were does it slide off? I think the structure of the story was something that could have been executed a little better. There were tons of flashbacks and jumps that sometimes get you out of the mood or want to put you in another mood. If the structure was compiled different I think the game could have landed better, leaving you with much stronger feelings about the characters and the cruel world you inhabit. First of all the death of Joel was something that I was kind of expecting, it seemed too good to be true to have another adventure with Ellie. I was expecting him to die eventually, but the game kills him in an CRUEL way that leaves you desiring revenge in the firsts hours. The game NAILS the first Half as Ellie in Seattle, it’s engaging, down right awesome and brutal. Ellie suffers, gets hurt, almost dies and sees this new side of the world, but is worth it because of Joel. As the player you keep going because you need to get revenge, you want those bastards to pay for what they have done. Suddenly you switch to Abby, this character that you have nothing attached to her and no investment. You see a little of her backstory and you start playing for 10 hours as her. It’s obvious that the developers want you to sympathize with her, in my case it almost worked, even though some of the cast from this side was a little bland and uninteresting. There were times when I just wanted to get through it to get back to Ellie, I just didn’t care much about Abby. But the objective of seeing Abby as a human being is something really brave from ND, she was getting revenge also. But I think that ND didn’t realize is that we have spent 12-18 hours more with Ellie and Joel and it’s only natural that we like them more because we feel we know them better. The part of the scars and the invasion of the island made me just feel there was no end to the game and I was never getting back to Ellie. Right to the ending, I didn’t dislike it and the more I think about it I’m more inclined to say that I like it. But there’s something that doesn’t feel right, I’m left a little bit sad and frustrated, but maybe it’s what they wanted me to feel. I don’t think it’s in anyway a bad game, 0/10, hell no. The worst parts are the length and the jumping back and forth with the flashbacks and between Ellie and Abby. But I think the game has more good and awesome stuff to put it right by 8/10 for me. It’s not TLOU but it’s a solid sequel and an awesome game from ND. Finally I want to end the review with Troy Baker is the *ucking man as Joel and Ashley Johnson as Ellie; really really loved both of them. Laura Bailey was also good, but I just couldn’t love someone that killed Joel.… Expand

Купил в день релиза, перед прохождением второй части перепрошел первую ремастер. Лично меня игра захватила с первых минут и не отпускала до самого конца. Графика конечно на высоте! Сразу бросилось в глаза (по сравнению с первой частью): вода, дождь сделаны супер круто, бегущие с крыш ручейки, меняющие направление от ветра; освещение в лесу ночью в дождь, свет факелов выглядит шикарно; такая казалось бы мелочь, как возможность разбивать стекла (и у этого есть и практическая сторона, чтобы попасть куда то, или взять припасы можно только разбив стекло или витрину), осколки стекол выглядят очень реалистично. Так же заметил, что теперь когда мы убиваем врага и кто то замечает его труп, то они называют его по имени (типа сволочи, они убили Кенни!)
    Окружение сделано очень продумано и множество деталей в каждом заброшенном доме, постеры на стенах, рисунки, игрушки детские и т.д. В общем атмосфера тоже супер!
    Так же порадовало улучшение оружия, как это сделано, с деталями (персонаж сверлит отверстия в стволах, увеличенные магазины выглядят по-другому ну и т.д.).
    Из простительных минусов я бы отметил дизайн уровней. С самого начала игры стало понятно, что в точку назначения можно добраться минимум двумя разными путями, но если в начале игры выбираешь с какой стороны обойти дерево (слева или справа???), то к середине уже начинаешь плутать по уровню кругами (благо после нескольких минут топтания по кругу дают направляющую подсказку).
    Многие жалуются на сюжет и его подачу. Меня всё устроило вполне. Очень неожиданно было посмотреть на историю под другим углом. И нам показывают, что нельзя просто убивать всех подряд, могут быть печальные последствия.
    Что касается нетрадиционности некоторых персонажей, то в игре это в принципе подано довольно ненавязчиво. Про Элли можно было догадаться ещё из Оставшихся позади, ну и мальчик-девочка (или девочка-мальчик?) тоже антипатии не вызывает. И не будем забывать, что в первой части были геи (Билл со своим дружком).
    В итоге хочу сказать, что игра подарила мне только положительные впечатления и ни капли не жалею потраченных денег!    … Expand

By the end of the story, everything about the game made sense and was a real blast to play through. I took my time to explore and find all the lore and finished it in around 24 hours. There aren’t many single player games with that length, there aren’t many games that actually made me feel the way I did when playing. The whole premise had an atmosphere that is extremely immersive and the fluidity of the games progression is spot on. I can’t fault it, if I’m honest. You get multiple sides of the story and when it all actually comes together, it’s a wild and brutal ride that will leave a mark! If you enjoyed the first, you will no doubt enjoy this one. I was very anti-TLOU2 after I saw the leaks a few months back and I already knew the general jist of the story. But I didn’t let that spoil the game, the leaks happen within the 2 hour mark and the rest of the 22 hours it took for me to finish came as a surprise. The lore in this game is incredible, there are many different stories going on that you physically read through. I literally have nothing bad to say about this game. Apart from the fact people are leaving bad reviews for no reason when you can clearly see they never played it!

    Ignore the whiners. This game is even better than the first.
    The story works, the gameplay is vastly improved, and it is an excellent experience all around. Most people who hate on it probably haven't even played the thing.

    Wonderful game, and the most fleshed out suite of accessibility options I've ever seen. The story is amazing and so much more then the bland, formulaic stereotype that unfortunately run rampant in many games. Characters have purpose and motivation and it all comes together in a way that highlights the creators skills in storytelling.

For me, the brainchild of Naughty Dog is a piece of work that cannot be evaluated by any assessment, it must be passed in person (not on YouTube!). The only thing that can be said for sure is that we will not see such an epoch-making work in all senses for a long time. And yet-for me, this is a candidate for the Game of the Year.
    SECOND: leaks, scandals, Metacritic score.
    If there's one thing I've learned from all the hype surrounding The Last Of Us Part II, it's that if people on the Internet want to hate something, they'll do it, nothing will stop them. No arguments, facts, etc.
    Well, OK, you can continue to "Kill" the game, the result of hard work of the whole Studio.... And I will go on to pass, get a lot of emotions, enjoy a lot of small details, follow the plot, and then even "New Game +" start.
    I just can't understand, me and an army of Hyper-satisfied people, are we really playing the same game? Why do I understand, motivations, actions, why does it not interfere with the orientation of Ellie and Abby's appearance, why do plot twists seem appropriate and logical?.... Is it I'm crazy enough that I like it, or the INTERNET?
    How I sympathize with Drachmann..... What he feels? I think seeing a score of 4.9 points, reading like that, etc., is not the most pleasant thing on Earth.....
    You know, no one paid me money for my opinion, but I fully support and understand the decision to make an unusual sequel, Yes, it was controversial, but it's cool! This means that it can be discussed, analyzed, and thought about. Is this not an indicator of a good work, the result of CREATIVITY and effort? Do you think that an abstract "correct" continuation would be better? Most likely, we would get a "cotton", "Safe" something that would be like chewing gum without taste, it would just be boring....

People can't handle it's method of story telling, the controversy justifies it's uniqueness and brilliance. I have no tolerance for the stupidity displayed by haters. Philistines. 11/10

    The Last of Us II is an undeniably divisive yet great game and one which I would recommend to any who would listen. Though the story is weaker than the first game I still found it incredibly enjoyable. It does lack an element of hope which may cause some to stop playing, however, if- like me- you enjoy darker gritty stories then you shouldn't find this a problem.
    My only major complaint    The Last of Us II is an undeniably divisive yet great game and one which I would recommend to any who would listen. Though the story is weaker than the first game I still found it incredibly enjoyable. It does lack an element of hope which may cause some to stop playing, however, if- like me- you enjoy darker gritty stories then you shouldn't find this a problem.
    My only major complaint with the story lies in a few pacing issues (particularly in the first half) as well as tension build ups which are dragged on to the point where the tension simply dies out. There is one particular example where you are forced to wait a huge chunk of the game for one scene's tension to pay off. It would have also been nice to spend more time with 'that character' before 'that event' in the early game in order to make 'that event' a little more impact-full for newer players. Despite all of that, I found all character stories to be excellent and engaging and going into the game's second half and finale I found myself questioning my own decision in a beautiful and emotional battle of morals.
    That brings me on to the gameplay which is nothing short of excellent. For me, the mediocre gameplay was the only thing holding back the original masterpiece and believe me when I tell you that the Last of Us part II takes everything that was good about the original's core gameplay and injects it with gallons of mobility, combat options, stealth options and fun! Whereas in the first game, the combat often felt like a chore stopping me from reaching the next story beat, here, the combat feels necessary and fun. Both new infected types are a blast to fight and the new human enemies are perhaps some of the most fun of all. Enemy AI is considerably smarter (though still slightly stupid at times (though this depends on the difficulty you play on) and enemies will actively keep you moving. Ally AI has also been greatly improved though I still noticed a few cases where my allies where quite obviously in view and not getting noticed. Nevertheless, the Last of US II's gameplay is nothing short of excellent and I greatly enjoy the feature which allows you to replay encounters you have already finished on different difficulties without having to replay the whole game. Players are also given the option to replay specific chapters which works incredibly well with the many collectables you can scour the rich environments for,
    Finally, I will mention the graphics, though I'm sure you already know what I'm going to say. The Last of Us part II is the most gorgeous game I have played to date. The settings are stunning. The art work is stunning. The characters and animations are stunning. I also really appreciated the option to unlock and view concept art and virtual models and spent a considerably amount of time taking in each individual gorgeous detail which makes the Last of Us II's visuals so stunning.

    As a side note, the 'political correctness' is not shoved in your face at all and most certainly does not ruin the game.

    Overall, The Last of Us II is a great game. Is it as good as the original? In some aspects no and is some yes. Would i recommend it? Absolutely.
    I don't play games to be pampered and given exactly what I expect; I play games to feel something and the Last of Us part II will certainly make you feel.    … Expand

In the end, everyone reconciled and just waited. But then the irreparable happened, a lot of videos from the game were leaked, whole cutscenes, fights, etc. I think that this is the reason for all the misfortune that this game faced. For many people, torn scenes from the context gave them an erroneous opinion about the whole product. All this, of course, fueled the integration of LGBT people into the game (which, in fact, does not matter much in the game), and this topic has been very problematic in recent years. I am sure that the studio and Neil knew that this would happen and consciously took a risk. However, Ellie and her story have been crushingly criticized. I hope that in the future, people will learn to criticize a product only after they are fully acquainted with it.

    I have been waiting for the game for 5 years and for me it is not just a hobby, it is a personal story into which I was drawn. And I waited, waited patiently, but then leaks that were impossible to get away from (social networks, YouTube and everything else is an integral part of life now). And it really ruined my impressions, I was very upset. But despite this, I enjoyed this incredible story for 30 hours. About which I will say only a little. The plot is not something unique, we have already seen this in world cinema, but the presentation itself and how we learn the history from all sides makes this game beautiful. And it is heartbreaking, however, all as promised to us, only pain, revenge and a circle of violence.
    Everyone will always find cons for themselves, but really something that spoils the game is not here. If Naughty Dog were asked what I didn’t like in the game, I would only remember about the NPC that sometimes interferes with passing and about enemies who do not always act logically.
    Summing up, I want to say that I am grateful to the studio, to every person who worked on this incredible game. I do not stop watching a video about development, listening to podcasts, and watching early Art in Istagram. Thank you very much for everything.
    Despite the huge damage from the spoilers, I can still say that the game broke my heart and in the end I cried. I think that was exactly what was intended so that the story of Ellie would destroy not only her, but also us, the last of us.    … Expand

    The answer, in my opinion, is no the hate was not warranted, and it most definitely lives up and exceeds the hype.

    What naughty dog have achieved with this game transcends the medium. This is a bold narrative that will challenge you in your beliefs and dive into the complexity of human emotion. This is triumph from the beginning to the end.

    The story worked on every level for me, and I understand this is highly subjective. It is very possible that the story does not work for you, but i implore anyone that is interested in this game to not buy into the hate vitriol and experience it for yourself if you can.

    From a gameplay perspective, this is an evolution rather than a revolution. What worked in game 1 has been refined, and what was janky been polished. The stealth aspects have been tweaked and it is a blast to play through encounters, despite the bleakness and violence of this world.

    I have a few gripes, with the length of the game being a small issue. I do believe that the last few combat encounters were one too many, and the game could have had a more laser focused narrative at the end. On easier difficulties, enemy AI can be a bit simple, but I think playing on hard and above gives you a real challenge.

    Despite these small issues, i have still given this game a perfect score as a i believe full marks in this case is not perfection, but rather it recognises what is to my mind a masterpiece, and a story that will stick with me for years to come, and one that I will discuss and dissect extensively into the foreseeable future.    … Expand
