    Игра хорошая. Геймплей, на мой взгляд, стал менее деревянным за счёт добавления новых игровых механик. Графика в игре просто прекрасна, и на моей фатке всё выглядит более чем отлично. Однако, сюжет на мой взгляд мог быть и по лучше. Он мог быть более трагичным и глубоким, если бы Нил Дракман придерживаться первоначального варианта сценария.Игра хорошая.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing, beautiful game from start to finish. I started the game without knowing anything other than what the trailers showed and I was shocked and captivated by the story a few hours into the game. Joel's death was a roller coaster of emotions but for me, it was one of the best moments in the game. It may be cheap, but it made me feel so many things in just that one moment. I kept playing the game thinking "I've got to kill Abby!" And for the majority of the game, that was my go-to emotion. That was until I got to play as Abby, and while I'm not her biggest fan, I enjoy her moments with Lev and her gameplay the most. By the end of the game, I wanted Ellie to give up her quest of vengeance, and I for one am glad she let Abby go.

    Overall I loved the game, and I can't wait to see what comes next. I'm already on my third playthrough and I can't get enough.    … Expand

    Story sucked, characters sucked. I actually spent more time finding different ways to kill Abby than actually playing it. I can not give it an extermely low review like a 1-2 since it does get somethings right and it was a bit of fun. But comparing it to the first game it is like Heaven and Earth.

We know the "proffessional" critics are payed to give it high scores so just disregard them, truthfully the current user score is the correct one for this game - 4 or 5/10. Mediocre.… Expand

    I think people review bombing the game aren’t looking at the full scope, or maybe haven’t even completed the game. I personally loved the first game and the second was better in the gameplay and graphics department obviously, but I also though the story was equally as strong.

    Sinceramente... É um dos Melhores jogos que já joguei na vida, a história é incrível, muito boa mesmo, que se trata das consequências das suas ações, ambições, ódio, vingança...
    O jogo te deixa Tenso, Nervoso, Aflito e Divido porque ambas as Protagonistas são muitos boas, a evolução delas em saber que vingança gera mais vingança, e q a violência nem sempre e o melhor jeito de resolver.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game will definitely win game of the year without any difficulty! I think the only game that can beat head-on, would be Red Dead 2. The graphics and physics of that game, so absurd! Facial expressions are too surreal!
    The story is very captivating and honestly, I found it a bit cliché because it involved "revenge", which was already somewhat predictable. I didn't expect Joel to die anytime soon, like early in the game.
    The water, the fire, the trees, the leaves and the setting of each scene are so carefully detailed that it makes us think:
    "IF THIS IS SO, HOW WILL THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSOLES BE?"
    You see? It scares how realistic it is.
    So far, there have only been 3 bugs with me that made me die during the campaign, 3 bugs that were really funny.
    Another and unique moment, when the reflections in the mirrors failed, but that was it the game is perfect and surpasses RDR 2 in many ways!
    To see that some idiot users are purposely giving low marks because the game makes Ellie a Lesbian and all this story of love triangle and love dramas.
    Actually, **** Ellie's sexual orientation, for me, go be happy! I don't care about that, this game deserves the title of Game of the Year!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From a PTSD standpoint it didn’t make much sense to me, the ending was bizarre. They dumbed down Joel & Tommy in order to fit the death scene they wrote, which was just odd. The story felt manipulative and forced in order to uplift abby while **** on ellie. They claim the story was about action and consequences and subsequently “revenge” yet the person who couldn’t move on after 5 years (abby) who committs the act of revenge gets uplifted in the story and ellie gets written down. It all felt very unnecessary and pointless and thats not something you should feel during a game journey, that the hours were pointless. Apparently they originally had Ellie kill Abby, which would have made the story make more sense and have a more satisfying ending, but apparently they changed that halfway through, because of Halley Gross, who seems to have butchered most of the story trying to subvert expectations rather than focus on logic, previous character behavior, and just focusing on writing a good story. Its naughty dog, so when it comes to the fidelity, gameplay, animations, cutscenes, voice acting, gunplay, accessibility its all god-tier, its just a shame the story is so bizarrely written. Not having a single hour in this game to play as Joel, with all its flashbacks, is astonishingly bad writing and disrespectful to the fan base seeing as how he’s dead now and you can’t play as him ever again unless they do a Pt. 3 with more flashbacks. I don’t care if you kill main characters, tons of movies and games I love have done that, but at least write it with some intelligence and respect for the characters rather than worrying about subverting or shocking the audience. I think the pressure to do a sequel got to them and they tried a lil too hard on this one and it sabotaged them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The message that violence and vengeance is a circle that will eventually come back around to haunt you is beaten into the gamer relentlessly, so much so that one doesn't feel fulfilled or enlightened by the end of the game but physically and mentally exhausted. The games setup for improving guns and skills is made to encourage replaying the game but the thought of suffering through the monotonous repetitive flashbacks and multiple endings is painful to consider and ultimately left me shelvingn the game for what could be a long while. I think 6/10 is fair. Nice try, e incredible graphics and fluid nature of the hand to hand const are not enough to raise this score.… Expand

People die in games, movies and TV shows. In fact a lot of people died in this game and the first part, I think people need to get over it. Sorry it's not your stereotypical game, cause I know paying$60 for those is very fun to play over and over again. I'm sad but not surprised to also see all the homophobia out there. The world is an ugly place right now with the pandemic, the people believe it's a hoax, racist people, why not homophobic people too? Can't wait when your kids realize you were on the wrong side of history.

    Can absolutely understand why the narrative bothers a lot of people but for me, I enjoyed it for challenging me in a way never done by any game other than maybe Red Dead II. Combat encounters are fun and engaging and the graphics are just absolutely stunning, some of the best in gaming today (although Ghost of Tsushima’s environments are giving it a run for its money).

No I'm not sexist or homophobic naughty dog, I just appreciate good games without a political agenda being shoved down my throat. The story is woefully poor and very slim to put it nicely. You need to get your revenge, GO ! Parts of the game dragged so much I was falling asleep and pretty much had to force myself through it. Especially towards the halfway point where were forced to repeat the same actions again with a different character... Lazy story telling. Characters are all 1 dimensional and killed off without any real development. Gameplay has barely changed since the first game and still feels as stiff and clunky as ever. And the ending was a downright embaressment that makes the whole game absolutely pointless. What a mess, the graphics were nice, that's my 1 piece of praise I'll give this game, but this is naughty dog, and expected at this point, so yeah....

    In the other hand there is the story, The last of Us was a game about the last humans trying to survive in a savage world, this game ditches all that story and it's only about humans doing human things, the virus has lost all of it's weight in the story and it's just like a very secondary plot. The writers also make a titanic effort to make you empathize with the new characters and too little to actually develop the old ones, there are parts of the story that feel too long and others that feel too rushed but the worst part is that they reutilice a lot of locations and scenaries just to make the game longer in things that they could add in a cinematic.
    This is going to be the most overrated game this year for sure.    … Expand

Then in the end you let Abby go like she didn’t kill the only father figure Ellie ever had, the bond they shared was deep shown in cutscenes so why forgive Abby after completely killing all of Abby’s friends and allies makes no sense.

    Just finished it. Loved it. Beautiful graphics and animation, fun gameplay, Ellie is a badass and I love playing as her. There is a point about 13 hours ish in that something happens and it last to long in my opinion. The whole game could have been cut down by about 6 hours probably and been a little more focused m. Overall I love it and I hope they do some DLC or a 3ed game

Не стоит зацикливаться на том, что в начале умирает один из главных героев прошлой части и просто самый душевный персонаж серии, не стоит идти и поливать грязью игру, после того, как играешь за Эбби, эта игра глубже, чем кажется, она заставляет менять своё мнение о персонажах и не раз, а если осмыслить концовку, то она может много о чём сказать, у меня есть претенция к сюжету в том, как легко Джоэл заманился в засаду, это, по-моему мнению, единственная недоработка и нелогичность в сюжете.
    До прохождения самолично игры ожидал ЛГБТ-дерьмо с терминаторами на спидах, но оказалось совсем иначе если попытаться понять игру, а не проходить с твёрдым мнением.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played some games that are borderline **** but let's put it this way: They did not piss me off enough to make a metacritic account. Did you love Joel from part 1? He dies in the most "we need it for story" way possible.
    Do you like Ellie? Well she gets her life turned upside-down and you're supposed to like that. You get to play through slaughtering Ellie's friends. You are forced to kill a dog.
    I hope you like Abby, you know, the one who killed Joel and slaughtered Ellie's friends. After Ellie loses everything, she let's the **** go? I call bull****. Ellie lost her father figure, her friends, and her family (and the ability to play Joel's guitar) but we need to be happy Ellie is screwed over and Abby (Butch) gets to live out happy?

    I am glad my little brother let me borrow this as I would not have spent money on this. As far as I am concerned The Last of Us Series ends when Ellie said "Okay" in the first one.    … Expand

    While I do think players complaining about how this game is more like a movie than a game have a point, because it is, it would be equally as valid to complain that it's not an arcade style game like pac-man. This is a narrative game. It is sorry driven, and if that's not your cup of tea, then this game may not be for you.

    Honestly, though, after having played the game, I came away feeling like most of the critics are simply offended by the diverse cast of characters, and their complaints say more about their bigotry than they do about the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story feels as if the script was dropped on the floor and it was picked up in a hurry to make sure no one noticed. The game has potential but screwed the pooch majorly by having everything happen at the wrong time. Why should I feel sympathetic to a dog I killed 12 hours ago? Or a character I murdered in roughly the same time? Why are you trying to make me like Abby when she murdered Joel in front of us, let the rage sizzle for 14 hours, and then try to convince us that she's relatable and likeable? This game would have been amazing if the story would have just panned out right, but honestly, the game just feels like it was mashed together in a hurry without the tinder care and planning of the first, and is just using the name of the first game to try and get it through.

    For all the people giving this game a 10/10 I have to ask, would you even care about this game if it wasn't a sequel to one of your favourite games? Does the story actually feel smooth and beautiful to you, or do you just want to love it because you don't want to tarnish your love for the series? I seriously thought about giving this game a 0/10 just to combat all the people who I really think aren't giving their honest opinion about that game in order to keep the idea that their favourite game's reputation wasn't tarnished, or who loved it just because it showed LGBTQ+ support, or think disliking the game automatically makes you seem like a bigot, but I'm going to give my honest opinion.

    Now for the positives, the graphics are beautiful, and this is one of the most accessible games of all time. I'm nearly convinced I could go blind and there would be some option that would allow me to play the game, but other than that I'm honestly disappointed. This was not an ideal followup to one of the best games of all time. If this was any other game, it would have just been an above-average popcorn game that people would have forgotten about in 2 years. I pray that Naughty Dog listens to constructive criticism and fix the problems with this game in a third entry.    … Expand
