Естественно как и большинство игроков я обратил внимание на феминистическую повестку,тут огромное количество сильных женщин. Перед второй частью я прошел первую и там я не помню ни одного моба женщину,a во второй их так много ,что сложнее найти моба мужчину чем женщину. Но как мне кажется не стоит так ненавидеть игру за пару лесбийских сцен и огромное количество сильных и независимых. Да, мне тоже не нравится эта повестка,но эту игру я советую и буду советовать всем.

Scavenging becomes a bit tiresome but finding a little trove of goodies still raises a smile. Absolutely brutal and gruesome at times. Not sure the enemies calling each other by name makes me feel any less guilty when everyone you meet seems to be a psychotic murderer! Completely seamless level loading, assisted by some very well scripted intermissions. Love this game. Expand

    La mejor secuela posible si quieres sentir el dolor de lo que pasa, valiente, sin tapujos, seguramente no hará feliz a todos pero era necesaria tal o como el tite Neil nos la ha contado. 10 en todos los sentidos, quizás sólo mejorable unos puzzles más complejos, por lo demás es puro amor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is what happens when you put themes and hidden meanings above the plot; you get a bad story. This is a byproduct of a developer thinking of themselves as an “artist” and that everything they do is “art”. The story is terrible and it ruins the legacy of the first game, just because Druckmann had to stroke his giant ego because he thinks no one loves the characters as much as he does, which is arrogant and insulting to the fans. The execution of Joel’s death was the most pathetic, shock value writing I have ever witnessed even though I was expecting Joel to die. Every character is utterly bland and uninteresting. Naughty Dog sacrificed the character development of Ellie and Dina for Abby and her friends, who everyone hates. Playing as Abby feels like a forced attempt to make us like her, an irredeemable character. Everyone bought this game because they thought they would be playing as Ellie and it would be her story. If I had known half the game would be Abby’s, I would not have bought the game. I don’t know why a game company would sabotage their own game like this. I would rate it more than a 0 because of the graphics and sound quality, but in 2020, every game has great graphics and sound design. What made The Last of Us II the most anticipated game of the generation was the story, which it hopelessly failed to tell. Expand

The users giving this game a super low rating are just immature and frustrated that naughty dog didn’t do what Star Wars the force awakens did and play fan service, giving people what they thought they wanted- or they’re homophobic and can’t keep an open mind about anything. The story here is unmatched by any other video game out there and probably 95% of movies out there, but it’s just so heartbreaking watching these events happen to characters that you have grown to love. But that’s life and sometimes stories are sad- that doesn’t make them bad stories- they make you feel things. Naughty dog was in a unique situation coming into this game where we care so much about them and that could be a gift or a curse. This game would not have worked if it wasn’t for the first game where they had a chance to build that backstory. I laughed and I cried. By the time it was done I just felt shaken, but I’m pretty sure that’s what they were going for. I was left wishing things ended differently but again not because it was a bad ending, but because I just wanted so much more for Joel and Ellie...however this was an amazing game with ALL the feels...

    One word "Masterpiece". Yes some story arcs were difficult to take in at first but as we progress further in the story it all make sense.

I feel many are hung up on Joel's demise and while that scene was tragic, and could've been handled better, all of the other aspects of the game were flawless. I personally love the dynamics of combat, and (while playing on hard) found survival to be a great challenge. I'm well aware that the ending is very debatable, I found TLOU2 to slightly edge out it's predecessor just because of the content and length of story. Please try this game out before making a informed review! Expand

    Finished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at timesFinished it once and I could never bring myself to replay it again the idea of the story was there they were headed in the right direction but the truly unsatisfying ending that makes you feel like the entire journey was for nothing and failed attempt to make you understand or like Abby with the 5+ hours of gameplay were the 2 major blows for me. the gameplay can get very boring at times and feels like your spending to much time clicking triangle trying to find out where to go next instead of actually playing the game the whole love triangle heavily influenced LGBT thing was way to focused in the game not that I have any problems with it but once agendas start running the show in video games it starts to mess with the plot point and can start to confuse the players immensely I love almost all of Naughty Dogs work but when they said “Fun” was not a word they use they took it to another extent they took the game out of the video with cutscenes that easily take up almost half the game not to mention the Abby parts big sheeeeeeeeesh. Aside from all that we all expected the Combat, Gameplay, Customization, Visuals, Graphics, Soundtrack, Infected, Mechanics, AI to be phenomenal which it was but with The Last Of Us being a mostly story driven game and “Ellies Revenge” never really being a thing I think its fair to rate it a 5/10 would I buy it again ? Definitely not for the 60$ price point especially with it having no multiplayer mode but if you could snatch it for a lower price it definitely would not be a complete waste like I said right direction but was not executed in the right way not that everyone expected it to be a Disney fairytale but it really does feel like there’s no possible way this is what a company like Naughty Dog comes up with in a 6 year development of one of the most cherished PlayStation exclusives of all time Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A stunning game. Visually and mechanics-wise it improves upon everything the first game did right. The attention to detail, atmosphere, artwork, are all spot-on, 10/10. Storytelling-wise, 9/10. The way Naughty Dog did it was bold and unusual, and I dare to say revolutionary. In TLOU 2, the story is stripped of narrational perspective: the thing that makes the heroes get out of a pinch, makes you sympathize with your hero and his ideals. In other words, the plot is indiferent to the two sides of the story: Ellie and Abby. It doesnt favour one or the other. What you get when employing this is a true journey of self-reflection. You can't hold on to anything or anyone, you can't just take the side the story takes because there isn't one. That's the way this game got me feeling. I couldn't hold on to Joel. I couldn't bear to see Ellie hurt, but I couldn't hold on to her either. I could empathize with Abby to some extent, but I couldn't condone her actions and couldn't hold on to her. Everything about this game was heartbreak and despair. The game accomplishes this lack of narrational perspective almost perfectly, but I feel like the Abby side need more reenforcement. We have to have in mind that Ellie was a character with a lot of history and emotional value. She was, therefore, at an advantage. That's where I feel the game failed. The two sides of the story are supposed to be equal, but Abby, because of her narrational disadvantage and lack of internal insight ( by internal insight I mean the "peep" at a person's mind, like Ellie's journal entries), feels too much like a side character. This is, for me, the reason many, while empathyzing with her, didn't care for her enough for that empathy to feel real and meaningful. This is the main reason I give the game a 9.
    Now, I can't make a review of this game without addressing Joel's death. At first, I was dumbfounded. On the earliest hours of the game, they killed our dear The Last of Us hero in the most horrible way possible. I thought it was merely for shock value, but it wasn't. You see, the narrative had a problem. How can the game portray the broken relationship between Ellie and Joel? How can you truly have a sense of the tragic, the despair, the hopelesness that they feel? So they kill Joel. They make it even more tragic. Because now they didn't even have the chance to try and fix what they broke. And the storytelling that they got in exchange for Joel's death was breath-taking. They don't tell you the whole thing together. They tell you pieces of it. Flashbacks. Memories. Journal Entried. Photos. And that's the truth about loss. That's all you got of your relationship. And because Joel is dead, you cherish those moments and little things much more intensily, like Ellie does too. So even though I was very sad that Joel died and to this day it sometimes comes back to me, I think it was very very well done. Hats off to Naughty Dog to doing a very risky thing work wonderfully.
    This game was loss and injustice portrayed beautifully well. But maybe it wasn't just that. I like to think that, at the end, when Ellie utterly lost everything and everyone, she also found what she was looking for. And that's a very special thing, for game with such a desolating ending, to leave a somewhat uplifting taste in your mouth.

My biggest problem with this game was the story. The first game's story was super emotional, devastating, and beautiful, all at the same time. This game...was not. The entire course of the game, I felt very disturbed. The game is dark, more so than the first. Do not get me wrong, I do not mind if games are dark if they're pulled off well, but this game was not. I can't describe it without getting into spoiler territory, but the story to this game actually made me feel really depressed. The pacing of the story was weird, and the plot twists were executed very poorly. I felt like the gameplay and upgrading was superior to the first one, but it got repetitive. The amount of times I felt like I needed to be stealthy got very old. Enemy A.I. felt very inconsistent, and stealth encounters were at times very easy, and other times, weirdly hard. Many of the characters from the original game were ruined for me, and I was not a fan of many of the new characters.

    For some positives, I will say that visuals are breathtaking. Some of the best I have ever seen in a video game, actually. There was also one level in the game that was open world-ish, and I wish there would have been more sections like this, because it was done very well. The voice-acting also felt professional and very well done.

    Overall, as a video game, this game is pretty good. I was able to finish it, and as somebody who has a huge backlog of games I've started, but never finished, that's an impressive feat for a 20 hour game. However, as a sequel to the one of the most beloved games I've ever played, I was very disappointed with the direction Naughty Dog chose to go for this game. If you are a fan of the original Last of Us, approach this game with caution. I would recommend at least one playthrough, but do not go in expecting this game to be like the first, because it's not.

    Deceptive advertising, in the trailers of 2016, other types of events were shown, and the Story looks interesting and good, but in the Final Game it was a tremendous lie, 3 points only for the Gameplay and the Graphic level, but in a game that the main thing was history, I leave a lot to be desired ...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having completed a full playthrough of the game, I'd advise you not to waste your money. Cringey dialogue, lazy writing, no payoff. There's no silver lining. No levity. The one message the game has is "violence and revenge bad" and it beats you over the head with it repeatedly, like you're a mentally challenged toddler, while pretending to be deep. The game does its very best to make you feel like a piece of **** for doing the things it forces you to do. The sounds people and animals make as you viciously beat, stab, hack, or shoot them are horribly realistic and drawn out. Your enemies' companions and the owners of the dogs you're forced to brutalize cry out in horrified, despairing anguish at their deaths. and in the end, it snatches the only possible motivation any sane person could have had for continuing to play the game after Joel's death out from under you at the very last second and just leaves you feeling disgusted and depressed. Neil Druckmann has beaten this franchise to death with a golf club and spit on its mangled corpse.

    I made this account solely to tell you how much I despise what was done to this game. This is the first time I've ever bothered to review a game, that's how pissed off this piece of trash made me.

    Save your money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game plays very well it looks great and the story isn’t that outrageous ofcourse joel was gonna die that was obvious from the moment we completed the first game if they ever did a sequel, along with quality of life upgrades the game is greatly enhanced.
    Now for the bad part eventhough we can understand abbys anger over her fathers death the game doesn’t give us a real connection to abby until near enough the end of the game really the game wasn’t structured well rather than change characters at the 12 hour mark they should have switched between the 2 characters throughout the game that way it would have flowed better and we wouldn’t feel as angry about being forced to play as abby especially after spending so much time with ellie and upgrading her aswell also there’s no real dialogue between ellie and abby in any of their interactions ellie doesn’t even know abbys reason for killing joel she just assumes it’s in retaliation for the fireflies and not someone as close as her own father i feel if this dialogue was used then ellies decision to let abby live at the end would have had more context and understanding.
    If the game had such changes I would bump my rating upto a 9

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's quite sad waiting so long for what they delivered. The game design is nice, stunning graphics, immersive sound, fun gameplay, but the plot was honestly just terrible. The way they kill off Joel, he didn't die saving Ellie or doing something heroic, he died to someone he saved. Naughty Dog really killed him off just like that. Not only that, but we also get to play as Abby, the girl who killed Joel in cold blood after he saved her. After Joel's death, it's only natural to want to seek revenge on Abby, which never actually happens. In the end, we're left with Ellie who is now alone and missing 2 fingers, while Abby is left in one piece. Ellie went through everything for absolutely nothing, if you're in it for the gameplay, by all means, go ahead buy it, but if you played the first game and are mostly there for the plot beware, you might be dissapointed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the hell out of this game and yeah i know people that read this review are probably gonna disagree but i liked the story, the death of Joel what surprisingly early in the game but it sets the entire revenge plot, the only thing i didn't like is that ND false advertised the story by putting Joel in scenes or make Ellie older in scenes then the published version does but putting that aside i loved it that much that i took some time to platinum it and managed to do so, Abbeys part was sometimes boring but i does make you feel for the character that did murder the series most loved character but as you'll find out it was with a reason behind it. I will end this review by saying that i can understand peoples hatred towards the game i can understand some aspects about this game could be misleading for those who really loved the first game. But i loved it. Expand

    From reading some of the ‘reviews’ here, it’s painfully obvious that barely any of them played the game, and if they have, they didn’t finish it. That being said, the game doesn’t go without it criticism. In fact, I found I enjoyed myself playing through the game a second time, allowing myself to take time to really take in the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been playing video games for almost 20 years and this is now my favorite game of all time. The game looks absolutely amazing, the art style is gorgeous, the face expression is the best I have ever experienced in a game, the level of details is astonishing, gameplay is simple but polished and very enjoyable, whether you like stealth, gun fights or exploration, I usually get tired of games halfway through but not with this game. The story is a roller coaster of emotions from beginning to end, and is very well directed. It is darker, more mature and more realistic. I liked most of the characters even Abby and her crew. What people need to realize is that every person in the game has a back story that motivates his actions, and people that he cares about and wants to protect. We all played the first TLOU and grew to love Ellie and Joel, but the reality is that Joel by saving Ellie, made a slaughter house of fireflies in the hospital and doomed all humanity in the act (even Ellie was angry about it), so him having enemies that wants his head is natural and chances for it to actually happen was always high. Maybe his death could have been a little smoother I don't know. But hating the game just because of Joel dies is unjustified, It's like hating Game of Thrones just because Ned Stark dies. In brief, this game is a masterpiece and the best game I have ever played.
    It saddens me how much free hate it is getting. The game got out the 19th of June I woke up in the next morning 10 hours after the release and there were already more than 10000 negative reviews (mostly zeros) complaining about everything even the ending!!! how is that even possible??? Imagine being like an art designer or something for the game working so hard for all these years creating this magnificent world and be rewarded with thousands of "0/10 this game is f****** garbage" by people who didn't even play the game. At least if you don't like the story (which is a subjective matter) give some credit to the undeniably good thing. No one can deny that the game looks amazing. No one can deny that the gameplay is great. No one can deny how good the game sounds. No one can deny that the cinematics are astounding. No one can deny that the facial expressions are astonishing... So please people don't hoop in the hate train without thinking for yourself.

The gameplay was amazing and the design, artwork, further on, graphics were gorgeous, you can't deny it, so how do you ever come with a statement of a rating being below 2? Half a point for characteristics and biography, because half of it made sense and logic and the other half was poorly writen **** and im a good **** detector at poker, reference included. Spoiler alert further on, to just come up with such a dumb story line for Joel's death is disrespectful for the character itself and the fanbase, shame on you, especially not even taking the responsability for it aswell. I mean seriously, the death of another poor souls father which is a doctor is too poorly written, especially when the girl, if she even was told, knew his name, and name only. So im supposed to understand that she traveled the entire USA, looking and calling out every guy named Joel, alive or dead, and killing every person named Joel. Im sorry for swearing, but for **** sake, i ain't no detective, but you sure as hell need to know more ablut the person, and i sure as hell know, no one in that hospital knows Joel at all, or how he even looks like, or where he went. Enough about this, everyone who rated below 6 was smart enough to understand that. Now, everyone hates when the game does not allow the person to choose on anything or isn't allowed to try and do something about something, especially during the ending, and yall know which ending im talking about. We were "used" in this game for nothing in the end, waiting for that something, which we never ever got or will even get close to. Basically the game was about nothing but knowing that, spoiler alert, Joel dies. They even forced us to play with the character we hate later on, disgusting. Might aswell create a new rating, hey ESBN, here is a new suggestion, "forced torture", how does that sound?
