    남들은 망겜이다 뭐라들 하지만 나는 이렇게 기술적으로 완성도 높고 경이로운 수준의 연출로 재밌게 플레이한 게임이 없었음. 스토리도 아쉬운 부분이 없진 않지만 수긍할 수 있는 수준이고 참신한 시도도 좋았음. 그리고 나름 이 겜임이 평화와 반전의 메세지도 담고 있어서 좋았음!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The signature writing that made The Last of Us well known is no where to be found. Choosing to deconstruct the story of the original for the sake of shock value, you can tell what Naughty Dog was aiming for, but missed by a mile. As the characters from the first game make one uncharacteristic decision after another (that usually ends in their demise) the game rushes in a slew of new characters that the story gives the player no motivation to care about. The pacing feels so bad that it often comes off as comedically derivative. Even the final scene of the game, which is intended to be dramatic, plays off as an episode ending puncline from Curb Your Enthusiasm (I half expected the theme to play as it cut to credits.) The gameplay is slightly improved from the first, but if you didn't love it in the original, you're going to spend the last 10 hours of the game begging for it to end.
    The only positive things I really have to say is that the environments and level designs are very pretty and flow well overall.

    I really loved the first game , I was a big fan of it. Which is all the more reason as to why I can't forgive this disgusting "sequel". The story isn't entertaining , full of plot holes , and the sex scenes were really uncomfortable. Even the controls suck and feel clunky. and I would love to know how they messed the controls up after 7 years of development.
    No character development ,

    No character development , beloved characters are treated like worthless beings , and the game contradicts it's own ideologies with a disgusting unsatisfying conclusion.
    And the false advertising was really shady too ,using Joel to advertise the game then treating him like a dog was a really disgusting thing to do.

    Who is the intended audience of this game ? Clearly it's not the fans of the original.

    And yes the game is full SJW agenda even when it goes against realism (like abby's body).You can't have a body like that as a woman in a post apocalyptic world , without steroids ,and A LOT of food.Character designs are supposed to be likable ,making beautiful characters isn't sexist , it makes them appealing to the players , hollywood does the same while hiring actors , they hire people with good looks , because they are appealing.

    How did those critics give it a 10? Just how ? At least now I am never buying a game that has anything to do with c u c k man from now on. Still , I am really disappointed from what happened to a franchise that I once loved.

    RIP The Last Of Us

    If you are like me, you played The Last of Us Part 1 way back during it's release on the PS3. The game had stunning graphics, great sound, good gameplay, but the things that made it one of the best games on the platform was the beauty of the level designs and above that the magnificent storyline involving two of main characters with their struggle to survive and make sense of the world.If you are like me, you played The Last of Us Part 1 way back during it's release on the PS3. The game had stunning graphics, great sound, good gameplay, but the things that made it one of the best games on the platform was the beauty of the level designs and above that the magnificent storyline involving two of main characters with their struggle to survive and make sense of the world. That recipe landed it the game of the year back then on the PS3 and then again on the PS4 when it was released as a remastered version which I also bought. I had two TLOU1 copies total spanning two systems. That was just how good it was. Fast forward to today and to Part 2 of this iconic game. Let's start with what it got right from the recipe of the old game. GRAPHICS and Level Design: Like the first, Part 2 continues on stunning displays of the environment. No complaints there. SOUND: Again, it is on par with the first. GAMEPLAY: This is for the most part on par again with the first with a few additions to make exploring more realistic thus giving it a slight edge. Sadly, from here on out it is downhill. Way downhill... STORYLINE: I enjoyed the game for about 2 hours into it. Then IT happens. Death is understandable in a game with an apocalyptic setting. It can be sad but still illicit a positive experience to the player. Flashback to FF7 when Aerith meets the grim reaper with an 8 ft blade. It was traumatic yet it didn't leave a horribly bad aftertaste by the end of the game. In TLOU2 though, it felt unnecessarily rushed. Like someone couldn't wait to get rid of one of the characters. Then to make matters worse, you have to play as the character who ended such a beloved one from the 1st game. The theme of revenge is done relatively like any other game or movie before, and it doesn't really make the player feel much excitement to see what happens next. It starts becoming boring and predictable. At least until the end where they throw you another curve ball to ruin yet another character from the 1st game. You're left with a sense of what was the point of all of this? In the 1st game, you had a clear goal. The twists and turns to reach it all fit together nicely, until the end where they also throw you a curve ball to the story. But unlike the 1st where there was a purpose to the actions that led to the end, in Part 2 the player is left with a strong feeling to scream "WTF was the point of all this!?". The story is severely flawed. The ending leaves you with nothing, and worse it tarnishes the legacy and choices made by the end of the 1st game. Expand

    You kill Joel and let someone spit on his dead body... thats nuts. I used to look forward to the cut scenes which were refreshing between all the killing. Now, playing LOU2 feels like my body is rejecting a long awaited transplant.

    Its technically a good game no question but the bit that made is special and memorable for me has been ripped out.

    This game was amazing. The story was very mature and requires empathy to view the story from the perspective of everyone involved. The Gameplay is great but the controls will take a while to adjust too but once a few encounters are completed then you will be right at home.

    The only downside to the game is that some levels and chapters are very drawn out and I feel some of the second half could have been a bit shorter. I tend to feel this way with most when I find myself ready for the ending.

    I can not stress enough this game is amazing and should be enjoyed from end to end and it requires empathy and reflection.. the final scenes will be with me forever and the ultimate message... this will be a hallmark of what we have to look forward to in future of gaming.

The plot is 5/10, it has twists and turns, but we all know how idiotic ending this game has and the developers have not changed it, according to critics who were not afraid to rate this game lower (7.0 / 10) said that many threads are forced to just evoke feelings on the player (threads about LGBT and love that forgives everything, even killing someone close yhh, fellings, more fellings, more more fellings....in a zombie survival...). Another strange thing is that the creators decided to significantly limit the number of black opponents, rly? the creators assumed that during such an apocalypse there are definitely more white people than black people?! pathological... and this is exactly political correctness....When it comes to the AI ​​(people) often is wrong/bugs, when it comes to zombies it is just like in the first part, nothing new, only a new interface, if the opponent notices us constantly we receive notifications that we have been detected and we are threatened, it is really annoying and you can't turn it off. This game is saved only by graphics! STOP MAKING GAME ABOUT LGBT AND POLITICAL CORRECT!!

    What a disgrace. I can't believe the lengths they went to ruin a simple genuinely touching and heartwarming father/daughter story like TLOU. You know, Joel, the beloved main character from TLOU... all those scenes from the trailers are flashbacks. Also... Oh yeah. He's DEAD.

    Just disgusting, appalling treatment and blatant abuse of the fanbase's trust. This company should be **** ASHAMED.

    Especially sicking this **** on people during this horrible unprecedented pandemic... way to just make your fans feel hopeless. And for FALSE ADVERTISING and blatantly abusing the copyright system to cover their tracks. Total bait and switch. This feels like a personal attack on everyone who loved the 1st game. A game made terrible human beings, not to mention slave labor harvested. Leaks 100% true.

    I got so depressed after watching the scene where Joel get murdered by the equivalent of a **** goomba I had to stop playing for 3 hrs. It's SO BAD. It's not even on the same level as TLOU storywise. It's not so much the fact he died, it's HOW AND WHY. Senseless. What a waste of a character.

    Both RDR games showed us how to properly kill off a main protagonist, and those deaths are poignant, meaningful, and actually done WELL. This was disrespectful to Joel's character and the fans as far as I'm concerned.

    I can understand killing off your protagonist if it's done in service of the story, but I can't condone this in the manner in which it happened was just plain distasteful. This was clearly done on purpose for shock value to hurt the fans, nothing more. There's nothing deep or profound about **** like this. Do they think this portrayal makes women, gays or any of the people they're trying to pander to look good? Size of the ocean, depth of a puddle.

    This game is pure hatred towards fans who enjoyed TLOU. It feels VERY personal and I'm disgusted with ND atm. WHAT IS THIS? WHO IS THIS FOR?! I HATE this game. This is just a bunch of toxic hate mongering bull**** by so-called "oppressed" social justice weirdos.

    TLOU was so sacred, so special. I'll just have to ignore it and pretend this ****ty sequel doesn't exist since the original was a perfect self-contained story. As a FORMER ND fan for over a decade, I feel betrayed.

The rest of the story feels lacklustre and unsure of its own endgame and is constantly bringing the narrative to a halt with the overuse of flashbacks and different character perspectives .

    There are many reasons to dislike this sequel, as many other reviews have demonstrated very clearly. It is also such a shame that defenders of the game (for whatever reason) use "attacks of diversity of LGBT" to label players who are genuinely, simply disappointed by the story itself, not anything else.
    This is by no means a 0 point game, because of its beautiful graphic rendering.

    This is by no means a 0 point game, because of its beautiful graphic rendering. However, this is for sure not a 10/10 game either as its predecessor. I think this game will represent the divider between the era when players trust professional game ratings, and when people only trust players reviews.

It is no wonder why 80% of their team left during this game's creation due to disagreement of its creation. Neil Druckmann and any others involved in this story, writing, dialogue, or narrative, single-handedly ruined it all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found my first playthrough a miserable experience and would have rated it a 5 or a 6.

    In attempt to explore my feelings about the game I did another playthrough, but everytime I went to unravel a thread I thought I had seen I found nothing but solid rope.
    I never managed to justify my initial impression, in fact I found that the game is actually exceptionally well written and directed..

    I feel like it my initial reaction might have had something to do with the inconsistent nature I view characters I'm playing as opposed to when I'm watching characters on tv. They are obviously characters and they have completely separate motivations from me and will make choices I would not but when you are playing as a character that isn't wildly different from you and they make reasonable choices in games you get to feel like you are the character, so when the character then begins to makes choices outside the bounds of what I would have chosen there is some level of cognitive dissonance there. This means I had to learn to watch Ellie just simply as a character and not entangle myself in her choices. In addition there were some choices the character made that actually were consistent with ones I would have made, because of an unhealthy obsession with reaching a goal that predictably lead to some bad consequences and that didn't feel good.

    Edit: Thinking it through, I really feel it stems from the ending of the first game. Remembering back to my first reactions to it I rather disliked being forced to kill one of the last remaining doctors in that world but in the years since, I've forgotten the worst acts of Joel and since it's muddled with me "being" Joel and knowing Joel is at heart a good person I've built up stories and psychological defenses to justify the acts. This game destroyed those defenses and I didn't want to admit that in a way, as Ellie, I was ultimately chasing after myself.

    I still love Joel though, as a character that had to make a horrible choice that I in some sense can understand and doesn't ultimately boil down to black and white, evil or good.. Just **** up..

    As a final note, I would recommend that you pay attention to what is going on in Ellies journal. I didn't really understand why Ellie and Dina where even a thing before I read in there that they have known eachother for years and Ellie clearly had a crush on her from before. This might be the only major weakness I found, it's fairly subjective though, others might just accept that they seem in love and are good together but for whatever reason I just didn't find it very believable before I read those journal entries.

Neil Druckmann is a genius for making me feel frustrated, angry and shocked at the game, us hating the game is intended in a, not so subtle way but ends up being so deep, so sublime, so exceptionally stunning and brave. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a gorgeous game. I cannot deny that. The gameplay is very similar to the first with some minor improvements. But those aren't the reasons why you buy The Last of Us games. The story is horrible. The death of Joel was handled so poorly. It was needlessly vicious and brutal and this is from someone who plays Doom. Not long ago Bungie killed off Cayde-6, a very beloved character, but they did it well, with respect to the fans and the character. What Naughty Dog did with Joel and the pointless revenge story after, is just bad. Don't waste your money. Preorder the new Paper Mario game or the upcoming Destiny 2 Beyond Light. Expand

There are several new characters none of which are particularly likable and some who are straight up detestable. Gameplay wise, not much has actually changed from the first game, despite what trailers had led us to believe. Above all, the main problem with this game, is even describing it as a game. Calling it a game suggests there is some level of enjoyment to be had from playing it. When in reality The Last Of Us Part 2 is a thoroughly unpleasant experience all round. I wasn't even sure how to rate this experience. a 0 might seem like i'm just another person trying to "troll" the game (a term seemingly used only when people disagree with your personal dislike of something and a way for them to try invalidate said opinion) but it came down to this. Is there ANYTHING about this game that i feel would make me want to go through "playing" it again? would i recommend it to someone who might enjoy it even if i didn't? sadly the answer to both of those questions is no. The Last Of Us Part 2 is poorly written, with no significant gameplay changes, but above all is simply not a pleasant experience to slog through. Fortunately my old house mate works for Sony so i didn't have to pay to "play" this game. Expand

    Another issue I noticed seems related the (aggressive) motion blur, causing a weird effect on the top of the screen when rotating camera fast in some scenarios, almost like a screen tearing. Turning down the effect to 5/10 seems to have helped a bit.

    Story/Character review: Score 8/10
    Whether you like the story or not its a MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE.
    The studio's vision definitely didn't match what I expected for a sequel, but it doesn't make it a bad thing at all, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and they could only make one story, from their own minds.
    The one thing I didn't like much is that they tried too much to pull some things and cause game to be boring at times.
    Character progression exists and it is an important part of the whole thing. However, I feel that the characters lack charisma.

It upsets me that I have to say this about such a dear and beloved game to both me and many other people out there, but I'll give my opinion on this game anyway.

    While the last of us part 2 delivers on the graphical front, and in its diversity and improvements in gameplay customisation and mechanics, it certainly does not on the story, it fails to give its respective fans and and it's universe a place where things really feel grounded, and does not deliver satisfying in-game objectives or a narrative that is enjoyable and understandable, if its goal was to try and get me to stop playing, then it fulfilled its purpose, because I wasn't impressed or pleased, bearing in mind I tried to keep an open mind to all of the narrative decisions, god forbid you have a good story in a quite literally story-driven game. A lot of the choices seem to be made for the purpose of creating conflict and trying to get an emotional rise out of the player in order to emphasise it's message of "revenge", but only falls head first on itself. It doesn't respect it's established universe, and doesn't care what the previous game had put in place, and it doesn't give itself time to develop, it feels like it ends before it has time to even begin. Therefore, it neither shows respect for its viewers nor characters, which I think is an understatement considering the events that take place in this game. I won't be listing any spoilers or any other reasons as to why that's the case, but I'm afraid I really cannot recommend this game. It's not just disappointing, or angering, it's honestly just sad, and not because it just didn't go how some had imagined or wanted, but because I don't think the people behind the game itself even knew what they wanted, or were even trying to communicate or accomplish with this game, it remains a mess through and through. If you're playing the game for gameplay and mechanics, then I certainly can recognise the improvements and recommend those specific parts, the same goes for graphics too as mentioned in the beginning of this, but story, is and will remain in its same awful and poorly written state, and I do not recommend it for those looking to get the deserved sequel of The Last of Us 2.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
