    Me ha parecido un juego con un gameplay y un apartado técnico impecable. En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada.

En cuanto a la narrativa, considero que está correctamente ejecutada. Podrían haberlo hecho mejor ya que hay puntos en la trama que no están bien desarrollados o implementados, e incluso hay partes que se sienten alargadas o que no aportan nada importante, pero el cómputo general de la historia me ha parecido muy bueno, tal vez no al nivel del primer juego, pero no por eso me parece malo. Es un gran juego y hay que saber leer entre lineas su guión, que es complejo, y veo que mucha gente solo se ha quedado con la capa superficial. Como he dicho, hay cosas en la historia que no están bien definidas, pero no considero que sean fallas graves. A nivel de gameplay es lo mismo que vimos en el primer juego pero más pulido, no inventa la rueda pero funciona de maravilla. Los escenarios son más abiertos en algunos tramos y da un punto interesante a la exploración y el crafteo, habiendo por supuesto otros de mayor linealidad, el diseño de estos escenarios son muy buenos, aunque a veces son algo caóticos, aunque supongo que es algo hecho a posta puesto que estamos ante escenarios post-apocalípticos.

    Un gran juego, a nivel personal me gustó más el primero, pero este mantiene el nivel.

    El juego es genial, el único problema es que creó una expectativa muy alta con la primera parte. La historia de TLOU1 es relevante para el mundo, sin embargo en TLOU2 vemos una historia mas enfocada en una venganza donde vemos a los personajes desarrollarse con una trama más oscura que su predecesor.
    El mundo de the last of us solo nos dice que los sobreviviente lo logran porque han

    El mundo de the last of us solo nos dice que los sobreviviente lo logran porque han cometido cosas horribles y esto genera un ciclo de venganza y odio.
    En mi opinión la historia es bastante buena y te muestra varios puntos de vista; no se dejen llevar por los malos reviews, ya que este juego no merece un cero.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i walked into this game with an open mind & the benefit of the doubt. i knew about the leaks, but i chose not to believe them. joke's on me. EVERYONE felt so out of character. joel's death was awful and insulting, but maybe i could've looked past that if the story got better. spoiler alert, it didn't.

    the heart of the last of us was ellie & joel's relationship. and then you tell me that ellie's been mad at joel for YEARS? and then joel gets killed by a bunch of characters we couldn't care less about? not to mention, it was extremely convenient how they found him. and by extrememly convenient, i mean lazy storytelling. another thing that bugged me was how ellie & tom's grief was depicted. sure, this whole game is that they both make it their sole mission to get revenge, but they didn't feel like they were grieving (until the very end, but the end is a whole OTHER story). and abby. goddamn abby. listen, i know what they were trying to do. but they failed. abby's character is not likeable at all (none of her friends are, either). her story might've been the game's attempt at making us see her side, but it felt like an aggravation. her father was willing to KILL A KID. A KID WHO WOULD'VE PROBABLY DIED FOR NOTHING. because there WERE others like ellie, but for some reason this game forgot about that. and the ending was just. hollow. it leaves you feeling empty, and not the good empty. heck, if it ended at the point where ellie & dina were living in their little farm i could've digested it. but it dragged on and on and ellie lost EVERYTHING and for WHAT? to drive in that 'revenge is bad'? that's a too cliche lesson that is NOT worth all that was lost. ellie deserved better than just walking into the woods alone to god knows where. it's like the developers missed the WHOLE point of why people liked the last of us. personally, i loved TLOU because of its story, a story about two people who couldn't be more different finding each other in a world with no mercy. how no matter how awful things got, they had each other. i loved TLOU because of its message of love and hope and found family. TLOU2 was bleak and about hate and never felt like it was a sequal to the last of us. they tried to flip the script, do something new, and it failed miserably. i could never accept this mess as canon. on the other hand, i have to give the actors & animators & world builders credit. they did a wonderful job. the gameplay was good, albeit a bit repititive. but it wasn't worth it. they should've just taken the success of the first one and left. it's a shame.

    The Last of Us Part II remains a controversial game, despite its great gameplay mechanics. It is not possible to please all audiences. In my opinion, the story has many well-written characters. Naughty Dog breaks conventions and shifted the story to a more darker tune.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is a very polarizing game, with different narrative threads weaving together to make a complete story.

    This game does an amazing job at showing how ones actions can have a huge impact on not just themselves but others around them. You can literally rename this game "The consequences of Joel Miller". All the major plot points in this game happen because of Joel decisions in the first game.

    First let's talk about game play. It is leagues beyond the first game having very smooth animation and pretty good AI. In this game you would generally have 3 different play styles depending on who you are fighting. The WFL, The Seraphites, or The Infected. Also playing as the quick and agile Ellie makes it easier to sneak around. Then playing as the brutish Abby makes head on attacks a lot easier. Along with the gun upgrades and character progression trees, you have so much customization. This game is refined to the extreme.

    Graphics/Art: This is one of the best looking games this generation. If not the best looking game to come out in this era. ND jammed packed this world with some much life and detail. Playing in the forest area of this game really made it seem next gen. The character designs and the art are out of this world as well. I noticed especially with the infected. The first Clicker I saw looked much more violent and deadly.

    Music: Once again the Last of Us music is phenomenal the games soundtrack plays on every scene so well. Even outside cut scenes the music while exploring fits the tone of each environment you are in. 0 complaints from me.

    Story: Let me just say this. This games story is beyond the first game. Let's get the elephant out the room; Joel's death. It makes perfect sense that Joel dies this way. Without even knowing the rest of the game his death in my eyes was done perfectly. Joel is not the good guy and never has been. Many in the in-game universe would describe him as a monster. Tess said "Joel we are not good people", Tommy hates those years surviving with Joel because they did terrible things. Joel has killed many innocence and has destroyed many of families. He has tortured and beaten so many people. Eventually that would catch up to him. Abby asked Joel "To guess who they were". Joel has crossed so many people he cannot even make an educated guess to who is coming after him. I love Joel but I can see he is not a good person and is flawed. He got the death he gave so many himself. Also it is perfectly in Joel character to save Abby. He has been in Jackson for 4 years and their main objective is to protect the people in their community and also expand it. They have saved brought people in numerous times over the 4 years. And that is explained within the first 3 to 4 hours of the game.

    Now while following Ellie we get to see her get revenge on those who wronged her. While playing as her you feel her rage and you want her to kill everyone that hurts Joel. But something that was not expected was Ellie slowly starting to break down because of what she is doing. Nora, Mel and Owen are great examples of Ellie not having the stomach to do what she thinks she needs to do. Ellie part of the game is emotional and you believe in her the entire time. Also getting to see how Joel progressed through flashbacks was amazing. We get to see how soft and tender he became over the years. Really well done story telling.

    Now in my opinion the best part of the game. Playing as Abby. When I first started playing as Abby I knew what ND was doing. And I was rolling my eyes because there was just no way I would side with Abby. But as her story continues and you see it play out. You began to realize that Abby has more compassion than Ellie or Joel. Many times she could have killed them all but she never wanted to end up like her biggest monster "Joel". She even runs parallel to Joel in the first game. While he found solace in Ellie, Abby found solace in Lev. By the end of the game I wanted Abby to win. Because she gave chance after chance to people who really did not deserve it.

    Overall do not look at anyone in this game as good or bad. There is no black and white. Only shades of grey. Although I liked Abby in the end, she is still a bad and terrible person. Joel is still my favorite character but he is a monster.

    Go into this game with an open mind and let ND take you on an adventure.

Ofcurse this game is not meant for sensitive people, but if you can take it till the end, is worth every second of it. Dramatic and tragic story, but full of emotions.

    O jogo é excelente em todos os aspectos técnicos, porém apresenta uma história bastante incoerente com um final muito decepcionante e frustrante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the very start of this game i enjoyed it, the game is dark, gritty and very emotional. Joel's death hits like a truck and throughout the game you can sense the loss in Eliie. Ellie's thirst for revenge it something you can get behind, well, for people who played the first game. And as the story unravels and you learn of Abby's reasoning you can start to understand her reasoning. As for the technical parts of the game, the graphics are top notch, the combat feels like an improved version of TLOU1, which i loved. The music in this game will give you serious nostalgia for the first game and some of the songs in it will get you emotional and in some cases, may even make you shed a few tears. one thing i wasn't keen on was Abby's section, especially after what she had done to Joel but i think that was intentional. All in all this is a great game that is deserving of all the praise (and some of the critiques) but not deserving of all the review bombs from people who claim to hate the ending even on day 1 of release. No game is perfect and all have their flaws but this to me is one of the closest you can get to an actual 10/10 so that is the score i will give it. All of this comes from someone that has played and platinumed the game. Expand

    What a Hell of a ride. One of the most well craftet games there is. I do think it lacks in some parts but that did not bother me all that much personaly. No matter what you think about the story and how it played out, it obviously triggert a lot of emotions, and that is something only very few games can achieve. Form your own opinion about it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the pros of this game based on my opinion are as follows
    - the graphics are great
    - the gameplay is smooth
    - the voice acting is absolutely phenominal
    the negatives of this game based solely on my opinion are as follows
    - the treatment of the characters is horrific
    - the story feels very forced and doesn't flow like with one flashback you find out Abby's reason for killing Joel which is he killed her dad. I feel no sympathy and he made it clean while she tortured him without hesitation.
    - Being forced to make decisions like killing dogs as Ellie when we were told we would have the option
    - The sex scene where druckmann I mean manny rawdogged Abby had no actual point in being in the game other than more shock value like with killing joel
    - It feels like I am watching a TV series and not playing a game
    - at the end of the day it is a story driven game and it is unfortunate that the story is this bad when the voice actors did so well on their end and the gameplay and graphics are so good because I can only give it a 4 out 10

As, a player while playing with Ellie, it will make you feel why am I even playing this. The thing is there is no motive. The first game had hope, that the virus could be a cure. Hope is not the emotion this game has gone for, it's revenge mostly.
    The character Abbey, is the worst character I had to play with in my gameplay history. Every time, she died I hoped she remain dead and the story end's right there. But, no she's the protagonist and the game makes you suffer her 10 hours long gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. В плане графики игра шикарная, но геймплей однообразный и затянутый. Главная проблема игры - плохо рассказанная история. Дело даже не в том, что происходит, дело в том, как это происходит. Убийство Джоэла поставлено неправдоподобно. Финальное решение Элли ничем кроме лицемерия не назовешь - вырезать толпу случайных людей, включая беременную женщину, но пощадить ту, ради кого вся эта заварушка затевалась, - где здесь логика?

    Показать, что месть - это плохо, можно было куда изящней. Создается впечатление бессмысленного графического насилия ради насилия.

    Персонажи... Я целиком и полностью за репрезентацию ЛГБТ в медиа и новость о Дине и Элли меня очень обрадовала. Но их отношения выглядят картонными. Подавляющее число персонажей в игре выглядят картонными статистами, двигателями сюжета, включая Элли и Джоэла, которые растеряли где-то свою харизму после первой TLOU.

    Такой извращенной мизогинии тоже стоит поискать. Игру обвиняют в феминизме - где он здесь, простите? Всё зло в этой игре творится женскими руками. Сильная женщина - это не та, которая вырезает врагов толпами, наплевав на мораль и человечность. Меня, как женщину, такое представление "феминизма" глубоко оскорбляет.

This game breaks storytelling boundaries as the first one did, although it forgoes the simplicity of the first game. The story feels like a eloquently written T.V Show, with an episodic structure. Moreover, The Last of Us Part II is by far Naughty Dog’s largest game, in length and scope, spanning over 30 hours for my first play through. The game feels very well paced, albeit for the slightly prolonged ending, however, this does not detract from the true experience of the game. Additionally the gameplay system is very well done, with great feeling weapons, survival-horror like set pieces, that match the likes of the resident evil series, and calm, drawn out sequences that usher in a calm yet terrified feeling for the games many twists and turns are very tough to detect. Naughty Dog, has also gone absolutely above and beyond in their graphical fidelity of the game as well as animations. This game is by far the best looking game of the generation, with absolutely crisp visuals on both the standard PS4 and PS4 Pro, from the way water slowly darkens and muddles Ellies bags and clothes, to how naturally Ellie would react to her environment by sliding when she goes prone on a smooth surface, or put her hand against a shelf as she walks past it. Least but not least in the gameplay, is the gruesome melee combat, and although the dodge button adds quite a bit of variety to the melee systems, the melee combat system is very reminiscent of the first game, although in a good way. Each strike upon you or your enemies feels impactful, and heavy, from Ellies slashes of her switchblade, to the thundering thump of a pickaxe, melee combat never gets old with immense graphical detail from how blood splatters depending on where Ellie hits, to how dynamic your dodging feels. Overall this game stands up tall near the first game, for it offers a completely different story, that is much more haunting and revenge focused than the first one, however was a necessary evolution in Ellie and Joels relationship. I would also like to add that from viewing the leaks after completing the game, it seems possible as to why people were mad at the game, however the way Naughty Dog is able to piece the moments together turn out to be far greater than how the leaks portrayed the game. I would definitively recommend this game whether or not you have been previously spoiled. Expand

    I actually finished the game, unlike the majority of these reviews. It was the best game I have ever played. I think the story was perfect and masterfully written. Don't listen to the hate, play it yourself and have an open mind.

    I put the game down halfway through, ain’t about to finish it. Achieved similiar "stunning graphics" on most of my PC games. Sold my copy on the used market already (yes, I warned the buyer, as is fair).

    Welcome to repeat land. If you like dumb AI and harrowing sneak missions, you go girl.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most people hate the game because they killed a main character and that's just life. Imagine a post apocalyptic world that has gone to hell for years now, you'll do anything to survive. Joels death isn't undignifying, it's a death. Everybody's fighting to survive and will do anything to do so. This is just a game trying to be real, not fun. GOT finale killed the main main character and that made sense, same as Joel, he tried to save a girl, the girl wanted to kill him, they were running from a horde and had nowhere to go. Feels like everyone is butthurt because undignifying deaths for big characters but this is a game trying to be real. That's why you have both perspectives in the story. Everything is a moral grey area, characters aren't good or evil, they're just human. They don't care you've liked a character for X hours of gameplay, characters just see a threat and won't event think of giving a "good death" to someone who ruined their life. Everything about the game is great, graphics, gameplay, acting. Also everyone complains about not being enough Joel in the game but everyone keep forgetting it's a sequel and not a standalone game. We've had a complete game to see Joel' and Ellie's relationship. Both Abby and Ellie do terrible things for different proposes, but each one is right in it's own way. A lot of people complain about being forced to play as Abby and that's the point of it. You're Ellie and you're killing dogs and people to find who killed Joel but she doesn't know what life is to this characters, until Abby's story. It gives you a bitter taste of everything Ellie has done through the first 10 hours of the game. It's a distopya where everyone is selfish and searching for the best for them. There's no hero to our story, we're just screwed up people trying to get by. Maybe some play games to feel good and joyful and that's why games like Mario exist. This is trying to reflect society and how the moral of humanity has changed because of how badly the world is doing. We don't play TLOU2 to be a hero, we play it to be a person. Maybe the first part seemed to be a hero story but in the end you just see everyone is flawed and selfish at some point. Joel sacrificed the entire human race for Ellie, and of course this had to have consequences. They live in a world where making a mistake will most certainly kill you. That's why you don't run through a door, let anyone live... But we're human, most characters experience happiness throughout the story because that's just what life is, ups and downs. You'll have to kill dogs, women, families to get by, but that never will mean you can't have a laugh in the middle of the storm. There'll always be a human part that feels empathy and compassion, that believes humanity might not be so bad after all, and that's why they let people go. No character has a strong enough morality to always be doing the right thing, everyone tries to protect what matters to them, no matter what. Aside from this, the agenda argument is just stupid. Being gay isn't a character defying trait. We were introduced to Ellie being gay on the dlc. No trans characters unnecessarily placed on the story. Most people started talking badly about the game after Joel's death but it's nonsensical to expect everything going right in this world we've seen our characters live in. Honestly a whole game revolving around fan service would just be boring to play. Everything expected just happens, but that's why we loved the first one, it totally ignores the hero trope and shows us a real Joel, doing wrong things for his loved ones, ignoring the cost of it. With all of this said, I've found the last cutscenes to be really ambiguous and not conclusive in anyway, the main revenge plot concluded, but Ellie's life just ends up as a mystery. Not really angry about it, but I would have liked to get a more concise conclusion to Ellie's life, not just her revenge story. Leaks ruined most of the game, but I can say it's definitely worth playing and experiencing it for yourself. It won't be wasted money in any way Expand

There were times I wanted to put the controller down and never pick it up, but I couldn't do that to myself. I think that people have given this game a bad rap because the story does things they don't like. If a story only does good things to characters you love then you can NEVER have any good growth or conflict. If someone plays through this whole story and doesn't like it. That's fine, it's not for everyone and people are entitled to their own opinion. I think many of these negative reviews aren't by people who actually played it all the way through. There is no way this game deserves less than a 5/10. The graphics and gameplay alone are a 10/10.

    Long story short: play the game with an open mind, and prepare to be upset, disappointed, angry, and heartbroken. This is a story about human nature. The good, the bad, and the ugly of human nature.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a piece of art. And art is not supposed to make you feel comfortable. It is supposed to have a message that is worthwhile telling. This game is a masterpiece. I say that as a fan and as a trained peace mediator. The game deals with the circle of violence and shows an realistic picture of how grief, PTSD and empathy work. It delivers a message, I always graved for people to hear. And it delivers it in a way, that is so powerful. The fact that so many people complain about it shows that it was necessary to make it. A lot of important art got a lot of backlash at the time. I believe that the haters are on the wrong side of history here.
    I was horrified, when Joel died. But I was also proud, that Naughty Dog hat the courage to do it. I am so disappointed with a lot of Pop culture that are afraid to take a bold step like that. And in my opinion, it was the only logical thing to do. If they spared him, their message would have lost its impact and it would have resulted in a mediocre story and a big case of whateverism. If they went for fan service, I would forget it in a year. But now, I will always remember it. This game triggered so many different feelings in me and just hit the mark completely. I don't think, I can describe the value it had for me. Every second of it was perfect.
    Thank you Neil and Naughty Dog for creating a game, that was not just fun but also had artistic value like no other!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Regarding the story, it seems good to me that a dramatic and dark turn has been made, since the same game means that there are neither good nor bad, that the only thing that can be found in the last of us part 2 are points of view and thoughts different from those of the protagonists, do not lie, it hurt me that Joel's death was so fast, but outside of that, the game is really fine, it has a deeper narrative and even the songs that are played in the trailers and in the game they have to do partly for the same story, an example would be true faith, which basically says that ellie's revenge is like a drug, a drug that makes you crazy, and around the game you can to see how Ellie little by little is destroying herself inside and out until she is left alone because of revenge as dyna abandons her and because of Ellie many die.
    Regarding the End, it bothered me a little that ellie did not kill abby, but after a few minutes I understood that with that final flashback of joel, ellie realized that even if she kills abby, joel would not return and everything would be the same and the cycle of Vengeance would not end, what ellie does in the End is to act with the head and in the most human way possible, it is at that moment in which there is an explosion of emotions, I feel that this game was made for a more mature perspective and dark, a story that does not focus on the typical, for me the end, as sour as it may be, has seemed to me a good closure for the story of ellie, I know that many do not like the game and directly classify it as rubbish, but really the game is something that we are not used to, and for that reason and its history or gameplay, etc., at least for me it is a good game

    The Last of Us part II is a poorly written narrative that takes unlikable characters and drags them through a series of miserable situations to try and illicit some sort of forced sympathy from the players. A protagonist needs to be first, believable, then, relatable. The writers failed to make their character's either.

    It isn't just the story that is the problem, but the storytelling, the execution. pacing, believability, and transitions from gameplay to story were so far from the standards of the first game it is hard to believe this game was made by the same developers.

    About 20% of the reason I looked forward to this next installment in the franchise was for combat and game play. That' the only reason I gave this game a 2, rather than a 0.

    There is more I could critique about this game, but I don't have the energy. The disappointment is exhausting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is pretty hard to put my thoughts into words so if I look at specific points without spoiling the game then:

    Positives:
    -Graphics: Graphics are a high level and the detail and passion that went into the product is visible.

    -Animation: Excelent animations

    Negatives:
    -Gameplay: this is more a personal problem as I had this with the first one too. Though I had hoped they would have changed / improved more in 7 years.

    -Characters: This is where a major problem lies. Established characters act out of character and there is no development. A certain character who I will not name ends up being someone you play as and at the time you get there you feel nothing for that character or the ones around them. Also it is fine that they want to show you a revenge plot but they figuratively and literally spit on older characters.

    -Plot: I have seen a revenge plot a hundred times and I also seen it a hundred times better. You miss a connection when you just killed hundreds and now should feel bad about a single one.

    -The ending: I don't wanna spoil the ending, but let's just say the end feels empty like ash in your mouth as the whole goal of the game is not reached at the end.

    I personally love the last of us 1. But 2 misses the point of the first game completely and ruins characters. For me who finds story in games important this isn't a game for me. I would. I would, however say that if you're a person who liked the last of us 1 gameplay and visuals that you might like this too. I personally had hoped this game would reach new heights, but sadly instead of new heights it has reached a deep low point for me.

Even though TLOU2 have a good graphic, details, and gameplay, ND too focused on their agenda and forget the very first thing that brought TLOU to be GOTY which is their storyline. Tbh I'm okay if Joel die, because he did a bad and selfish things on TLOU ending. However, that doesn't mean you have to killed him that easy, he's not that dumb to trust a complete stranger. If you remembered, during TLOU, he knew when someone tried to trick and ambush him. If you really want to kill Joel and fit in your agenda, at least dont make him looks like someone who just step into post apocalyptic world. If we compared both Ellie and Abby, the only winner is Abby, she get her revenge, still alive, got new community (new firefly), and new mother and daughter relationship which she should have realized that what Joel did in TLOU, was the same thing she did to Lev now. F-in hypocrite!

    ND, quick question, why bother developing both characters and their relationship in the first game if in the end you ruin them? Very disrespect Ellie and Joel character.

Much of this games controversy comes from a moment that happens early on, and whilst many may feel angry or confused with the devs decision, please carry on playing as all the questions you may have are answered perfectly through the course of the game. I am so glad that developers Naughty Dog chose not to play it safe and rehash the story from the first game and instead tell a story that they wanted to tell, a superb one at that. Obviously, too many snowflakes don't like this approach (the same people that complain when other developers or filmmakers don't come up with original ideas may I add) and would much rather have more of the same. Too me, this game is a must-play. It will make you laugh, cry, angry and sad but also will make feel satisfied in the end. It's visually stunning and plays like a dream. The characters are complex and written in a way that will question if they are really the good or bad of the story is. Make your own opinions people, don't listen too others especially in the type of society we live in where the world is overrun with too many entitled dicks. Play this game, if you don't like it fine but at least you gave it a try but if you do I'm sure you will have the same love that I and many others have for this masterpiece. 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Play this game... Expand

    Great game. People are dumb for hating on it. Great mechanics, combat is flawless; shooting is very advanced and better than the original. The story is realistic, it's not always lullabies and butterflies. It's a **** zombie apocalypse!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited until I finished the game to write this. Ignoring all the negative reviews. Upon completion, I was thoroughly disappointed with the experience and left with the thought of "THIS took you guys 7 years?..wtf..."

    *Spoiler warning*
    -The gameplay is the same as the original, which I find somewhat clunky.
    -Characters are awfully shallow.
    -The story has no purpose besides "revenge is bad" and ultimately feels pointless.
    -They had a heavy SJW agenda with this one... I'm all for treating people equally, but Jesus Christ guys I can't even tell if Lev has a gender because of the way you sloppily allude to it!
    -Too much romantic drama that feels forced.
    -Shambler death animations are cringy and weird. (here let me grab you and stare as you die)
    -A ton of plot holes; the whole story wouldn't be possible if Abby didn't have God-tier luck...
    -the best storytelling is in the scenes with Joel and Ellie and they are few and far between.

    They tried the Red Dead method and failed miserably. Why? because they make you play half the game as a character that kills someone you came to know and love. Once that point in the game hit, I didn't even want to play it anymore. As Ellie, I would explore, scavenge up and down, go for 100% completion. Once I got into Abby's shoes, I just wanted the game to be over. The best part of playing as Abby is seeing all the different death scenes.

    This was the first game I pre-ordered and got the special edition of in over 5 years. (facepalm)
    They effectively tarnished the reputation of The Last Of Us with this installment. If you played the first one, save yourself the heartbreak.

Thnx Druckmann for my depression.Story 1/10, im cried whole 30 hours ever. blyat' ненавижу, ненавижу все что происходит спустя 2 часа после начала игры. Я такого вообще не ожидала! От этой игры я получила просто кучу мощнейших эмоций. И все это почти негативные. Это была и грусть и подавленность, печать, злость. Да, с технической части все хорошоотлично, но я люблю эту вселенную и персонажей не за графику и детализацию, а за историю. ОДНАКО чего стоят прекраснейшие флэшбэки, как например песня и игра Джоэла на гитаре, музей. Они просто на вес золота. Про философию и серую мораль все понятно и блабла. Насчет лгбт пропаганды не вижу ничего в этом смертельно страшного, это на историю (повторюсь- говенную) мало повлияло. Тем более на фоне того , как просто сидишь несколько часов и охреневаешь от того, что самого любимого ГГ больше нет и не будет. Это не то , что хотели наверно 99% игроков в том числе я. Лучше бы второй части никогда не было. Для меня ее не существует. Expand

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
