    Незаслуженно политая грязью игра. Чем думало то стадо, что пошло эту игру дизлайкать - не понятно. "Феминистические" моменты встречаются очень редко. Сюжет подан грамотно, геймплей эволюционировал. Не слушайте тех людей, что говорят, будто игра про феминизм. Они не играли в неё и вовсе не знают её сюжета.Незаслуженно политая грязью игра.

    One of the bests games of the generation. I honestly think the second part of the game it's a little bit too long. If you like the first game and, if you have an open mind, it's your game.

La personaje principal despues de matar todo lo que se cruza en su camino y dijo todo, llegando al momento culmine de su matanza recuerda que la venganza no es buena, no la lleva acabo y sale perdiendo otra vez. Y la enemiga desaparece muy tranquila, y lo peor de todo es que tienes que jugar con ella una buena parte del juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually the game looked great. I enjoyed certain aspects of the game but hated that you are forced to play as someone who killed Joel and want to be Joel aka Jessie who I was starting to like. It made me hate her more when she beat Ellie in their first fight against each other. The Siblings scar story was probably the most interesting thing in this game. I feel like the story was trying to combine two different stories to make one game. It would have been better rearranging the story so it didn't feel like it was hopping around everywhere. Overall what's the point of all this sacrifice and body count on both sides to not go three with getting revenge for Joel or Abby getting revenge for her friends dying. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: +intense and fun combat (due to brutal animations, level design and combat scenarios) +well written story and characters (as good as in the first game/ btw Joel isn't out of character before he gets killed, his behaviour fits the situation and his character arc in this game) + creative but risky storytelling (might be make it or break it for many) +outstanding animations and voice acting +breathtaking graphics, visuals and levels + beautiful soundtrack Cons: -a few characters stay a bit underdeveloped -looting can sometimes take you out of the immersion and be a bit tedious Expand

    En el apartado gráfico es una joya visual más sorprendente que logra llevar al máximo el PS4.

    Por otro lado el juego cuánta con extensos y largos tramos de "relleno" que en algún punto vuelven tediosas o cansadas tus horas de juego, se podrían recortar, más no omitir partes de la historia.

    Con este título te espera una gran experiencia narrativa y de jugabilidad, pero si cuentas con pocas horas de juego, o solo buscas divertirte todo el tiempo, este juego no es para ti.
    El juego no logra superar el nivel narrativo de la primera parte, pero logra estar al nivel, pero en jugabilidad logra superar con creces a la primera parte.
    Pero si quieres tener una de las mejores experiencias narrativas y gráficas de Playstation este juego te encantará.

    Yet another game publisher that has bought its ‘great reviews’ just to drum up hype and make their sales targets like death stranding...best game of this generation? Pfft! More like a lesbian romp with a terrible script. Managed to sell mine on ebay and get my money back before its value goes down to a 5er in 2 weeks time.

    My real estimate 9.5. The path of Ellie is stunning. I passed with great pleasure! But the path of Abby leaves much to be desired. It was hard for me to pass this game. No, she did not cause difficulties. It was hard to force himself to play abby. I'm sorry that the developers have taken such a decision.

Сценаристы не смогли ни меня, ни кого-либо из здоровых людей расчувствовать зеброй и мелкими азиатами, всем отвратительная Эбби и все сюжетные ходы связанные с ее аркой. Геймплей однообразный, стелс работает очень странно и чаще всего необходимости прятаться по кустам нет вообще, всех можно спокойно и так покрошить, скучно вплоть до сонных позывов. В части с Эбби пропадают собаки, которые действительно были серьезной опасности при прохождении за Элли.
    Игра де-факто заслуживает 6-7/10, если бы не продажный игрожур, то у пользователя никогда бы не возникла мысль идти и обваливать рейтинг этой игре.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story :
    The emotions and images established by Joel in the previous work are completely destroyed. Joel and Tommy who had survived in the harsh environment for years is willing to trust strangers, To the full extend of giving their full name when they know Joel has a lot of enemies is illogical. I personally do not mind Joel being killed but the way where he was killed make it a cheap death for a character that we had so much love in the previous work.

    Abby as someone who had seek for revenge for years willing to let the rest of them go dint make sense. She did not consider that there are revenge possibility or think that their group is too powerful for someone to have any possibility of revenge capability. Being The passerby who killed our favorite character she absorbed all the hatred and become the most hated character in game. Yet we are forced to play as the killer trying to establish some form of empathy and sympathy as a player for this character.

    Lastly, Ellie who lost everything in the end, her capability to play the guitar that was her link to Joel. Losing her loved ones for the act of last revenge. She knew what She is going for when she decided to go, and yet giving up on revenge on the very last minute after killing all the people in the game? This is punishing to play as the player, we should be given the choice if we wanted to kill Abby.

    Gameplay : Basically Same as last generation

This is actually the type of drama movie (at some point the I got tired of gameplay and started to “run through” the fights, so I won’t say anything about it), which I really love. With heavy narrative, ambiguous well-revealed characters and very emotional scenes. For a long time I did not have games from which it was so difficult to tear myself away.
    With all the community dislike for Abby (which is just populist suicides when playing for her), I empathized with her more than Ellie.
    Yes, she killed Joel (the actions and choice of which led to all further events), but she avenged her father, to a lesser extent a lost chance for humanity. She is no different in her motives from Ellie. But in the end she lost much more for external reasons. Unlike Ellie, who, in a fit of anger, turned her back on everyone whom she cherished.
    The very SJW agenda here is so insignificant that it can’t be called an agenda. Neil - well done.

It’s been almost three weeks since I finished the game and I am daily analyzing and thinking about the date of characters, what was, what could have been and possible what still might be. It isn’t often I have been baffled and thrilled by a game quite like this. The last time was probably part 1, red dead redemption 1 or even back in MGS3. I will keep things short; Part 2 is a worthy and true sequel! Excellent stealth gameplay, fun set-pieces and explosive joy from start to finish. Wonderful graphics, acting, music and the feel of the world is far beyond any other experience out there these days. The story is emotional and you are right to hate some parts of it if you want. But believe me when I say that there are so much meaning and beauty in those moments you might hate and if you open your eyes and think about human motivation and the justification of making this sequel, it will all make perfect sense.

    This entire game is like a season of GOT, and then I’m talking about one of the food once. Do yourself a favor and buy this game. A true modern masterpiece.Say no more

    From an objective point of view the game is a smooth 10/10 from the gameplay, the graphics, the sound as well as the characters. There is little room for other opinions, I think.

    The story is...something else. I didn't like the story here and there unconditionally, also the ending left me rather empty. Still, it has to be said that I really enjoy the game and I think that's what matters. If you didn't like the story here and there and therefore you think the game deserves 0 points, that's something you have to decide for yourself.

    The general gameplay is better, combat is more fluid, AI is a bit better, though still easily exploitable especially with lying in the grass. I hated the dogs, but that is more because I do not enjoy graphically killing dogs in video games.

    I also enjoyed the story, I liked the way they told it, and I understand why it upset many people. Without spoiling anything it is a rather generic revenge story, which does not have many surprises but has some holes. I admire Naughty Dog how they are able to convey emotion with their games, and I think they were guessing that this story and the way they told it would lead to something like this.

    I think this game became a victim of the hype train, many were expecting it would both cure COVID and eliminate world hunger once it comes out, but it did not. It was just a good game. If you for some reason get to read this I would say wait for a sale and play the game yourself.

    At the end of the review there will be major spoilers marked with SPOILER.

    First of, this game is not a 0/0. Neither is it a 10/10. The only thing i have against this game, is the story. Everything besides the story, gameplay, sound so on and so on, is fantastic. It really is fantastic. Where the problems start for me, is the story. ND takes some choices throughout the game that i do not agree with.. It’s not just because of Abby, because actually, the overall gameplay experience and missions you play as her is more fun and enjoyable than Ellies. It’s how they do it. A lot in the story doesnt make sense compared to the first game. But you’ll have to play it yourself to understand.

    The ending is the biggest flaw. It’s executed so bad. It’s an overall good game and enjoyable experience, but it had flade. SPOILER**** The ending. Playing as Abby in the last mission was a mistake. Ellie losing the fight like that and Abby just storming off was weird. And yeah, part of it is just that you hate to see the “hero”/main character get beat up/lose. Either way gane was good, just not what i expected. And not as good as it could have been.

    Too Violent. Poor pacing, terrible story. Gameplay needs smoothing out. Been waiting so long for this game, can't believe how bad the final product is. I think things just went bad in the pre-production stage. The first game was violent but this pushes it beyond my acceptable taste threshold. The characters are just not as likeable and their motivations not as strong or compelling as the original.

    I have finished this game twice since its release, which was a week ago.
    I believe this is one of the best pieces of narrative in video games that I have ever played. Its thematic construction is always on point and it makes you feel things no other game has ever made me feel before (not like this, at least). Among those things there is hate, discomfort and fear, which might explain why

    I believe this is one of the best pieces of narrative in video games that I have ever played. Its thematic construction is always on point and it makes you feel things no other game has ever made me feel before (not like this, at least). Among those things there is hate, discomfort and fear, which might explain why some people were immediately against the game.
    The story is non linear, but the structure answers to the themes of memory and forgiveness which almost nobody has tackled in youtube comments since it is less evident than the story of revenge.
    The gameplay is nearly perfect and it feels much more diverse and exciting than the mechanics of the first game, not to mention the graphics and the world design.
    This game is a rare specimen of what narration can within the interactive media. In a world where multiple endings and alleged player agency are kings, this game tells a story we might not like, but which must be told and leaves us no choice. Violence and vengeance are cycles which must be broken and not everything must end with death, even if the path towards growth is built on violence.
    Anyway, I do not mean disrespect but I believe that when (or if) some of the haters read George Orwell's 1984 (the most popular example of an acid ending I could think of), they threw the book to a bonfire, wondering why the hell didn't Winston Smith just entered the Ministry of Truth with guns blazing and then fought the Big Brother on top of the Big Ben and then proceeded to kill him with a bazooka. "I don't know, bro. It's disrespectful to the readers."

    Best sequel ever created. An incredible continuation of Ellie's story. I don't understand why the game is so disliked. Can't there be a relationship between two girls in a post-apocalyptic world? Or or did you all give a low grade because of Dina's armpits? Let's see what kind of armpits you will have in a post-apocalyptic world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the first game. It tells a story about how people found each other at a time of extreme hardship.

    Part 2 tells a story of how every character you loved lost each other including themselves . The game kills Joel early. I was so sad. I kept telling myself that the story was going to be worth it. So I kept playing. The game forced me to act unreasonably violently when playing as Ellie. I kept telling myself that the story was going to be worth it. So I kept playing. The game forced me to play as Abby for 10 hours . I kept telling myself that the story was going to be worth it. So I kept playing. In the end, it wasn't worth it. The game wants me to empathize with Abby. Maybe I could have if the storytelling was better and the story was rearranged in some way. The result is I couldn't. Abby feels like an unlovable ****

    As someone who see the lou1 as the best story with the best characters of all time, lou2 is disappointing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8/10 Gráfico, ok. Qual jogo AAA tem gráfico ruim? Isso sustenta a experiência? Hoje em dia tudo é realista, não chama mais atenção. Muito melhor um gráfico estilizado como Guilty Gear, Granblue Versus ou Cup Head. Ambientação é muito boa sim, mas também não é novidade. O primeiro jogo já tinha essa qualidade de fotografia e ambientação. Mundo vazio, destruído, cheio de planta e fungo. Apenas uma atualização gráfica de um conceito já bem executado no primeiro jogo. 4/10 Gameplay repetitivo e padronizado de 8a geração com puzzles absolutamente descartáveis. Zero novidades após 7 anos de espera. Grande decepção. 5/10 Trilha sonora. Zero carisma, porém a ambientação é boa. Você consegue cantar alguma das músicas do jogo de memória? Música do Pearl Jam não vale. É do Pearl Jam, não do Last of Us.
    2/10 História absolutamente podre. Ellie tem uma personalidade detestável e destrói a vida de todos ao seu redor com suas decisões imbecís. Em diversos momentos personagens ficam convenientemente burros. Por exemplo:
    - Você, com uma arma na mão, recebe uma chave de perna de uma pessoa amarrada e não consegue atirar na pessoa? Por favor.
    - Dina, que matou o agressor da mãe à facadas aos 10 anos, ataca a Abby de surpresa com facadas laterais que cortam superficialmente. Que lixo completo! Um insulto à inteligência do jogador.
    História forçada, personagens antigos destruídos, personagens novos sem carisma e convenientemente burros pra favorecer a narrativa. Nota final 4/10. Aspectos técnicos bem executados, porém, mais do mesmo. Uma repetição do primeiro jogo com uma história pior.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. * The ending of the first game sets up the second game really well for a couple of possible things to happen.

    1. Humanity is condemned due to the actions of Joel, so it makes sense that he'll be killed or face some major consequences in the second game. However, I think they killed him too early, in a random encounter, which is bad imo.

    2. It doesn't make sense for the fireflies to disband after they lose Ellie, they could've gone after her in the second game, and Abby's story could've been embedded within that main story. (PS: Saying that Abby's father was the last person who could perform the surgery, is a **** reason for the fireflies to disband. It's a throw-in reason that they made up for the second game and wasn't even foreshadowed in the previous game. Moreover, Abby's father had Mel as his best student. They also had the whole continent filled with all sorts of people and factions to go through and look for a competent enough doctor, so it doesn't make sense that there won't be any other doctor out there that can preform the surgery.)

    3. The second game could've been a second journey where Joel and Ellie try to fix their broken relationship, or maybe Ellie tries to escape to the fireflies, to save humanity and Joel follows her on this journey, trying to stop her and maybe the player gets some sort of choice, either help her get to the finish line (for real this time), or try to force her back and end up getting killed.

    * My thoughts on the story they chose to use:

    1. The story of the game is supposed to be a commentary on how revenge is bad and it'll only bring pain and hurt to you and the people around you. Ellie's action felt very unrealistic and stupid for her character to do, even if she was blinded by revenge. Abby spared Ellie twice, and in the second encounter, she spared her loved one, her kid and Tommy, she could've easily killed them on her way out after knocking Ellie out.
    It felt very strange for Ellie to fully settle down then to choose to go after Abby, especially because that it could put Dina and JJ. in harms way. It felt like a contradiction to the type of person that she was set up to be in the previous game and in this one.

    2. The pacing of the story was really weird. It had a lot of unconnected plot points (Mostly the Abby section of the game), it felt like it could be a part of a standalone game, rather than half of the main game.

    Even with everything that I discussed above, I still think that It's a very enjoyable game, that I loved and would recommend to people. However, It's not the type of game that I enjoyed enough, that I would replay it. I heard someone put it best, It would be good as a separate new IP, but sort of meh as the The Last of Us Part II

    Great graphics!

    Tough to stomach story, and no likable characters. Felt like it was going for “woke” instead of a great game. I am a straight, white male and there’s nothing wrong with that, and I’m tired of every game and movie trying to say otherwise. I’d look past that if there was a good story there. There wasn’t. Wish I had not spent money on this, just because I liked the first

    The technical execution of the game is at the highest level. The facial expressions of the characters are just something incredible, emotions over the edge. Especially, of course, in the Ellie-Joel scenes.
    I will not talk about the plot, some like it, some don't. For me personally, the pluses outweighed all the minuses, and the pluses, of course, are Ellie-Joel's scenes.
    The ending is simply heartbreaking. And very grown up. And very, very sad. But I did not see anything illogical in this. It seems to me that everything is on the case. Everybody lost!
    Except for the players, of course))

    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.
