    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand the story. There's consequences to what Joel did in the first game, and they're reasonable. I loved how the game was truly of revenge, loved how we as Ellie feel the anger and are hunting them 1 by 1. But whenever the game changes to Abby's perspective, it didn't work for me. I really wasn't into it. And what I don't like is yeah we saw who she was and everything but Ellie doesn't have a clue, so what's the point. I felt super forced to play as her and I didn't like it, I also felt that they tried to hard to show she wasn't that bad but Ellie was. And well, it didn't work for me. If I'm being honest, as a huge fan of part 1, if the game would have been entirely under Ellie's gameplay, and the story doesn't stop, this would have been a 10/10. Fck Abby.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Если честно, игра мне понравилась. Она с лихвой перекрыла всю эту повесточку которая была преподнесена в виде SJW и ЛГБТ. Сюжет мне так же понравился. Не особо понимаю почему его так люто поливают грязью. В основе заложена идея мести. И она абсолютно повсюду. У главных героев, второстепенных персонажей. Даже в записках можно проследить эту тему. И конец игры как раз показывает одну простую вещь - сможет ли человек живший долгое время этим чувством изменить свой выбор. Ибо месть крайне скользская дорожка как ни крути.
    Так же хотел бы добавить следующее. Несмотря на всю нелепость Ебби как персонажа я все же останусь на ее стороне. Ибо она за весь свой путь потеряла куда больше чем Элли. Отца и друзей. Весь мир по сути рухнул. А Элли потеряла только Джоэла. Тем более, Ебби ее дважды пощадила. А это говорит о том что она не такая уж и плохая. Думаю, окажись другой человек на ее месте, он бы без каких-либо раздумий убил бы Дину вспомнив что сделала Элли а потом и саму Элли так же добил. Ну и в конце она не хотела драться с Элли так как это было уже обыкновенное бессмысленное насилие. Она ее простила за все то что она сотворила. Думаю, если Элли не была бы ранена то она без каких-либо зазрений совести убила Ебби несмотря на то что там был пацан присмерти.
    Да и под конец самой игры Элли уже начала бесить своими излишними эмоциональными всплесками и непонятным юношеским максимализмом.
    Снимаю игре 2 балла за плохую интеграцию сексуальных меньшинств которые так и бьют своей нелепостью по лицу. Кроме этого, разочаровал ИИ который был очень туп в большинстве моментов. Можно было перед носом врагов проходить в наглую и они тебя не замечали.    … Expand

    Very strong game. Not as good as the original but emotionally captivating nonetheless. Very sad to see people reviewing it before even playing. Also not liking certain aspects of a game that has many good qualities does not warrant giving it a 1/10.

    1. Story continues the first part and is very connected with it. Ellie is now a girl and she has a new partner, Dina.
    She is now not a kind girl, ready to help everyone. She became tougher and more careful (reminiscent of Joel from the first part). In general, she has matured and she quickly changes in the course of the plot and this "development" affects the end of the game.
    Dina is not a terrible character. She has her own character, motives. It seems there are no problems, but she does not reach the previous partner Ellie.
    There will be familiar characters, and many new ones that I did not like at all, but these are spoilers.
    I won’t talk much about the plot, the only thing I will say. He has many flaws and some things are incomprehensible to me, but he continued the story and the ending made me think about some things for a long time
    2. Gameplay is as excellent as in the previous part. Shooting is even more awesome, and sounds .. I recommend everyone to play with headphones, which would plunge even more into this atmosphere
    The animations are beautiful. The smallest details in the spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2. That's all I really liked and I'm very pleased with the gameplay.
    3.I live in a country in which same-sex relationships are prohibited and people are greatly humiliated for that. But I am not against it. Anita Sargsyan helped Neil Drakman, which makes me unhappy. But what is harmless here.
    The game gave me almost always positive emotions. So despite the unfair assessment of both users and critics, I put 8 points    … Expand

    Just because Joel and Ellie are the heroes of my childhood I will rate it at 8. I will also rate it at 8 for the nerves of the developers, for attention to details (which no one notices). But the finale is merged for me personally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is an ambiguous game with a heavy and complex story. About revenge and the price that need to pay for her. About the fact that the dark road of revenge leads only to emptiness.

    The plot shows Ellie's moral fall. She thinks the end justifies the means. Abby, in turn, had already committed revenge. In the course of the story, she becomes better as a person.
    Impressions:
    graphics — 10;
    sound — 10;
    gameplay — 8;
    characters — 7;
    story — 7.
    Average — 8.4 / 10.
    You can remove 1 point for SJW, there is something like this in the game, and it catches your eye a little, although it does not interfere with either the gameplay or the story.
    I'm partly unhappy with the beginning of the story. The essence of the claim is that at the beginning of the game we are not told who the new characters are and why they are taking revenge. Therefore, many players cannot understand why Joel deserved this. I think it was worth explaining right away. Such a move leads to hatred of new characters, unwillingness to understand them. Many did not even want to play for Abby.
    In the game as a whole, you need to delve into what is happening and notice the details. If you do this, it becomes clear that the story is not bad.

    The ending is also not bad. It is worth remembering that Abby spared Ellie twice. But the final decision of the main character was influenced by something completely different. Ellie recalls the moment with Joel, how after the party she went to him to discuss the incident. Next, occurs a very important conversation for their relationship. Ellie says that she probably will not be able to forgive him for saving her life, and not for saving humanity. After a moment, the heroine adds that she will try to forgive. Joel looks at Ally and thanks her with hope.
    The essence of the moment is that Ally, deep down, did not want revenge, but wanted to return Joel. She regrets because she could not forgive him before it was too late. At this moment, Ellie understands — nothing can be returned, the price paid for revenge is too high and at the moment everything is pointless. At the end of the path traveled there was only a emptiness ...    … Expand

Жму руку разработчикам за титанический труд, если они хотели угодить ЛГБТ, как некоторые выразились, то они сделали это в меньшей возможной мере, к тому же такой химии двух влюбленных девушек я ещё нигде не видел, это было очень мило и как по мне всё было крайне убедительно, актеры дубляжа и захвата движения постарались. Геймеры, сидящие на попе ровно, с кривой осанкой и не следящие за фигурой сразу же начали возникать "а шо это баба такая накаченная ээ, она чё транс ыы" идут лесом, в постапоке я думаю лучше быть накаченным бойцом, чем клацать на джойстик, тем более её ведёт жажда мести за отца. На счёт мести Элли, она правильно сделала, что не убила Эбби, ей и так досталось (смерть отца, верных друзей, сестры Льва, рабство), если кто то после этого все равно хотел её убить, у вас не всё в порядке с головой. Ставлю 8 из 10, геймплей слишком нудный, бежать до кат-сцен и всё, лучше смотреть игрофильм. Если кто-то ожидал хеппи-энда, то вы конечно обосрались, все трейлеры были пронизаны безысходностью, насилием и несправедливостью, что нам и показали, эта игра не для умиления, а чтобы вы прочувствовали всю боль потерь и лишений, с которыми нам так или иначе предстоит столкнуться в этой жизни.… Expand

    Gameplay, sound and graphics are top notch as always. But the clincher is the story and the characters. Both feel like some fanfiction author got his hands on the script for this game. This game has one of the worst endings of all time of any piece of media. It will leave you a hollow shell of yourself.

As many of my fellow reviewers, we have waited a total of seven years for this release. With high hopes, we set money aside and anticipated a masterpiece .. and we got one, but not in the way we expected.

    The first half of TLOU2 (if you know, you know) was absolutely incredible. I loved EVERY second, every interaction, everything. From the spine chilling gurgle emanating from clickers that somehow sounds even more terrifying, to the incredible acting presented by Ashley and Shannon. From the glorious realm of Jackson and Seattle, and the simple track of snow later countered by the ghostly sighting of an abandoned city retaken, it was a masterpiece. Truly. The chemistry and bittersweet moments had me lulled into a sense of security that was later cracked into pieces, as to be expected. The first part deserves positive reviews. The same cannot be said for the latter.

    I can see exactly what ND was trying to convey, the message they so horribly tried to send. However everything leading up to that message did not make it satisfactory. I did not care for the second half in the least, and even after letting it sink in, I did not end up changing my feelings or mind on the interactions at hand. Again, I see what they were doing, and I can see how they thought it would work, but the narrative was insanely weak. The half-a$$ed parallels and the "two sides of the same coin" (literally) sequence was just not where it should have been.

    I love TLOU and TLOU2, and I will continue to support ND and if they do have the balls to make a third installment, I hope to every god and deity that they do it right.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything outside of the plot and pacing is phenomenal. What ND was able to do with the PS4 hardware is very impressive and a ton of work.

    The gameplay is very good, controls great, level design fairly balanced.

    Where the game falls flat on it's face is provide a convincing plot. Essentially the game has you see all of the blow back of Joel basically exterminating the Firefly base. One of the surgeon's daughters is Abby, so from her perspective Joel is an awful person. She's hellbent on revenge which she obtains and experiences guilt. Over time both lead characters - Abby/Ellie - become aware of each other's perspective. The player gets to experience each first hand. Abby gradually grows and tries to make amends by helping Lev and pursue the Fireflies and help restore humanity/society.

    Based on what the game shows us with certainty, Ellie does not grow. After 2 years of living the good life on a farm, she effectively ends her marriage and goes on a weeks/months long quest to California to murder Abby. She finds that she's been emaciated as a slave and tortured for months. Abby still wants to leave it, but no - Ellie like a sociopath must kill. So many times I tried to walk away, and not initiate the final blow because it is so morally repulsive, but the game forces you to to end the game. She ultimately stops short of drowning Abby, but based on her return to the empty farm and leaving the farm, it's ambiguous about whether or not Ellie has grown at all as a person. Only from recent interviews do we see that she does. Had I not had that confirmation, I would have given this game a 6/10 because I have no interest in partaking in sociopathic murder porn. It's one thing to fight for survival or if the enemy doesn't give you a choice, but the game forces you to.

    Based on interviews, it's clear that they didn't make Ellie's PTSD a convincing enough excuse. Abby had PTSD too, but she grew. Also from the interviews - apparently until 18 months ago the ending was to kill Abby - whoever at ND changed that you saved the franchise, it would have been GoT all over again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful game for me. Atmosphere, graphics, level of detail, gameplay are fantastic. But on the other hand, the story and the script that divide opinions and leave something to be desired, is a story that holds you to the end, a story that makes anger and the feeling of revenge enter the player, to disappoint it an empty ending. A ending that makes you think that everything you did in the game was in vain, all the losses were in vain, playing the TLoU2 campaign was in vain. What also hurt the players and fans of the game a lot was the main character, so striking, so loved, being killed in such a cowardly and very poorly told way. And still forcing you to play a good part of the game with the killer, "trying" to understand her side, but whoever played the entire first game, the game that made you admire, support Joel, failed to swallow Abby's story. But anyway, a beautiful game from this generation.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics - amazing 10/10

    Gameplay - polished from the first, still a little clunky in closed spaces 8/10

    Score - amazing 10/10

    Story - okay overarching story. To me the revenge theme is fine. Did I expect more creativity from ND? Yes. In addition, the small things that made me love TLOU 1 are lacking: the idle conversations of Joel and Ellie when exploring, Ellie learning how to whistle, the dad jokes, etc. In addition, the new characters are overall interesting, but were not fully flushed out. Some of their actions didn't make sense. We should have explored them more. Like, why did Dina go with Ellie, why does she care so much. Why did Jesse join them, why was did he forgive Ellie so easily being with Ellie. They did so much more with less time with Bill, Henry, Sam, Tess and Marlene than with these characters over 30 hours.
    Despite this, I still liked the story. I really enjoyed Day 1 Seattle Ellie and the later half of Abbey's Story rallied hard (the attack on the Scar's Island was cool) - though I did not like Abbey's Day 1/Day 2 Seattle. I did enjoy seeing the characters again. I did enjoy the world of Seattle that was created.
    So if this wasn't a sequel to one of the best games of all time the story would be good, but knowing what ND did before I cannot feel but a little disappointed. 6-7/10 depending on my mood.

    Overall, I enjoyed the game. If you liked the last of us you will probably find parts of this game you enjoy. However, the story does pale in comparison to its predecessor.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets put this simply, this game is very good but in my opinion definitely not a masterpiece. Firstly ill say if you asked me to rate the game after my first twelve hours (which was playing as Ellie) i would've given it a 10/10, honestly the Joel death was devastating but i understood why they decided to go through with this narrative and it gave me such a will to go on to get revenge for him which therefore made me hungry to see how this story would unfold and obviously at this point i was desperate to kill Abby.

    So going through the first part with Ellie and Dina was great in my opinion, the game looked incredible and i loved the more open aspect of the game and how there are things you can miss if you dont search everything which was something i fell victim to missing Ellie sing take on me to Dina. Anyway to make a long story short i loved every moment of the story with Ellie and Dina together in Seattle. Keeping with Ellie i also liked Jesse and found their dialogue together to be interesting and enjoyable to listen to. Also the fact that the whole Ellie section included flashbacks was great for me, so yes Joel was killed yet we got to see some great moments between them especially the museum which was my personal favorite part of the game.

    Anyway going on to the revenge part of the story for Ellie, i rather enjoyed going through it seeing how much it effects her killing all these people. But obviously the cost of revenge is also shown which obviously leads to the death of Jesse which was quite a shocking moment for me to see happen but it made sense. Anyway now onto the part that stopped this game being one of the greats for me.

    So obviously now we go on to Abby and honestly ill straight up say i was devastated after finding out i was playing 10 hours of her to be honest but i thought 'oh you know maybe ill grow on her' but no not at all. Like i said earlier i was fine with Joel's death but i was definitely not fine with controlling his killer, obviously i get why they did it to understand her reasoning but i just couldn't get into her character and honestly when characters like Mel, Owen and Manny died i just didnt feel bad as i felt no connection to them, however ill quickly said i was a fan of both Lev and Yara and thought they were good additions, were definitely a good point of Abby's section and did really will them on. But overall Abby's section was only a 6/10 for me

    Anyway ill quickly talk about the ending, to be honest i personally didn't feel satisfied as i felt emptiness really as i just really wanted to see Ellie get her revenge due to my personal connection to Joel, however i did understand why what happened, happened and can say despite not personally feeling happy i get why the ending was what it was.

    Overall pros:
    . Ellie's section of the game- overall story including relationships with characters and flashbacks.
    . Look of the game
    . Attention to detail
    . Great soundtrack
    . Brilliant acting by all
    . Satisfaction of combat
    . Larger areas to look around
    . Amazing design (Characters, infected)
    . Extra dialogue (enemies communications, reacting to deaths)
    Cons:
    . Abby's story
    . Premature deaths
    . Pacing at points
    . Not great CPU
    . Sometimes overly coincidental
    . Poor character choices (Ellie leaving map for Abby for example)

    Compared to other Naughty dog games i would put this behind Uncharted 2,4 and the Last of us part 1    … Expand

    they wanted to do it dramatically like the first game for example, let's think that they want to make a dramatic introduction at the beginning of the game, the only character we have connected with is Joel it would be absurd if there was a vengeance story for dina or tommy but I have to admit that the death of Joel creates a gap in the other part of the game.The game constantly kills things we connect with for example, we love dogs at the beginning of the game and then we kill the dogs.playing abby was seriously insulting.The most ridiculous thing was not to kill abby at the end of the game.Other than that, the gameplay was very nice.

Side note im all for the support of LGBT community but story wise it felt a bit forced not speaking on ellie, but with one specific new character we meet on our journey as abby After hearing their story about them actually being a girl I just was a lil mind boggled about how many main characters shared that same story , but hey nothing wrong with just seemed a tad bit forced story wise, Yes i know abby is a SHE NOT A HE lol, but like i said play the game for your self make your own decision… Expand

    If you've only seen the leaks, and already decided that you don't like the game, I urge you to reconsider. The leaks don't do the game justice, in my opinion. Let's start with what I think the game does well, and then what it does not so well.

The leaks don't do the game justice, in my opinion. Let's start with what I think the game does well, and then what it does not so well.

    Pros

    Graphical fidelity: Arguably one of the best looking games ever made. Lighting, character models, art-style, etc. are all phenomenal
    Acting: The best acted game I've ever played, period.
    World-building: All the artifacts, environments, and character interactions really make the world feel real, lived in, believable.
    Stealth gameplay: The ability to go prone, craft a silencer, and use silent weapons like bows and knives make for really engaging stealth.
    Story: This has been the most controversial aspect of the game, but I really appreciate that the story is risky. It wasn't the safe option for ND and I like that they took a risk. I also think that risk paid off, the story they told was really impactful to me. We've seen revenge stories before, but I think this game says something unique and presents it in a unique way.

    Cons

    Pacing: As much as I like the story, I think the pacing is a little off, especially when you get to the halfway point. I also think there's a little too much down-time in game play, it doesn't have enough story set pieces for my liking.
    Gameplay nitpicks: The lack of a lock-on feature is really frustrating, especially when dealing with large groups of enemies. The addition of a dodge feature is useful and very welcome, but I wish I could lock on as well.

    Overall, I think the game deserves the hype. It makes a lot of bold choices that I really respect and I think it's worth playing if you're a fan of the first game. Don't just make assumptions based on the leaks.    … Expand

I enjoyed Last of Us 1 and went in this game after having read the story leaks a few months back. Even with that, I did enjoy the game. The combat amd visuals really deserve praising, the way AI is created to simulate real people blew me away as I was disgusted by myself when shotguning enemies' arms just to hear them scream.. And with that aside.. Yes there are one dimensional charachter moments in this game and there are forced story decisions in this game and the ending is kinda dumbly executed, and the game ia guilty of pushing cringe romance moments that you dony wanna see.. But even with all that, the game is able to recreate a believable apocalyptic world with peoplr in it mostly scum that are trying to survive by any means necessary. There are also a few beautiful Joel/Ellie moments that everyone will be able to appreciate and even though the game is mainly based on Ellie being blindly hateful and making forced decisions based on trauma.. If you look for it, Ellie and Joel's connection is strongly embodied in the game ^^… Expand

    The only problematic part is the story. They couldn't make you care for the characters as you did in the first game. Dina, Jesse, Owen, Mel? I could not care less for them. Abby is kinda likeable, but it feels really forced.(She also looks comical with the arms.)
    The revenge of the revenge of the revenge is over the top too. The death of Joel can be justified, bur the way the writers have done it is dumb. They make Tommy and Joel look stupid when they give themselves out so easily to the wolfs. The PC part of the game also feels forced and sometimes unnecessary. They shove it in your face instead of enlifhtening on the steuggles of these characters.
    The first game was so great because you loved the characters. You would kill for them. Part II just won't make this impulse on you, as it lacks such a great story and ending of that story.    … Expand

    SPOILERS

    Joel deserved to be written off in a better way, that's the simple answer to all of everyone's outcries. Was Abby such a bad character? No. In fact, if Naughty Dog Part 2 only about Joel and Ellie, Joel dies, Ellie kills whoever killed him and in Part 3 you play as Abby and her story. Everyone would have been happy. In fact dare i say, Abby and Lev had the closest thing to what Joel and Ellie had in the Last of Us (first game).

    I think the combination of playing as Joel's killer, seeing him die in such a way, and then trying to push certain concepts and ideas was a bit much. Games should show and not tell, but Part 2 couldn't live up to the hype. I will say that outside of Joel's death, this was a great game. A great ride, not the story or ending I wanted nor the path I would take at all. But adding a compelling and motivating plot (kill the people who killed our love character) + great gameplay (outside of the jump button being almost pointless) + amazing graphics. These are things that we can all enjoy, The game isn't as bad as people are saying, in fact even though i started off hating Abby and wanting her to die. And yes even I was like I don't wanna play as her i wanna keep playing as Ellie, the Abby storyline was enjoyable and well done.

    Pretty much horrible way to start the journey, amazing journey, bad transition, good (dare i say great) other viewpoint, bad ending.

То, как эта история принимает свои обороты - не может тебя не восхищать, иногда - в хорошем смысле этого слова, иногда - нет. Эта играThe Last of Us Part II действительно является самым спорным проектом Naughty Dog, отсутствие Брюса Стрейли сильно заметно, ведь он всегда мог попридержать фантазии Нила Дракманна, также приход новой сценаристки - все это ощутилось на новом их детище. То, как эта история принимает свои обороты - не может тебя не восхищать, иногда - в хорошем смысле этого слова, иногда - нет. Эта игра сюжетно далеко не тот шедевр, что первая часть, но эта игра принесла мне массу положительных эмоций. Нил Дракманн хотел показать, что не все так однозначно, как по-началу думает игрок, что в этой истории нет идеальных персонажей. Но чьей истории человек, прошедший первую часть будет сопереживать больше, той, которая уже стала как родная за эти 7 лет, пусть даже в ней не все персонажи правы, или же той, которая может быть, и правильнее, но которая нова для нас? Рассказывать про сюжет можно многое, но он действительно неплох, учтите, не шедеврален, а неплох. Но вот в чем-чем, а в геймплейной части игра стала на голову выше, да, основа у него одна, и я не понимаю людей, которые ругают эту игру за устаревший геймплей, а какой геймплей вы хотите, это тот же The Last of Us, который многим понравился, из-за своего геймплея (да, я знаю, что там не переднем плане все-же история). В сиквеле появился "вертикальный" геймплей, взятый по большей части из Uncharted, где он весьма неплох, теперь можно заползать под некоторые объекты, добавили траву разной высоты, и эта трава не такая, как, допустим в Asassin's Creed, где враг может вплотную стоять к главному герою, и не замечать его, в TLoU2 тебя спокойно могут заметить в траве с близкого расстояния, а целиться, если противник смотрит в твою сторону - еще опаснее. Касательно ИИ, он здесь стал на уровень выше, противники не стали, конечно, намного умнее из первой части, но вот если они знают от вашем присутствии, они начинают ходить не по своему обычному маршруту, а разбредаются по всей карте, точно так же и с зараженными. Появились новые очень опасные твари - шаркуны, каждая встреча с ними в игре, довольно неприятная, ибо они живучие. В игре несколько раз встретится старый-добрый топляк. Выглядеть он стал куда страшнее, а главное - теперь это как целый босс, он стал намного выносливее, и может поглотить огромнейший урон, так же в игре есть парочка еще более ужасный тварей, но о них рассказывать я не стану, ибо это с такими лучше повстречаться самому - чувства будут острее. Эта игра просто необходима к покупке, если вам нравится первая часть, она, может сюжетно и не шедевр, как ожидало большое количество людей, и их негодование можно понять, решения, принятые разработчиками очень смелые, но игра не заслуживает таких низких оценок от людей, по-большей части не прошедших ее, а просто последовавших стаду.… Expand

In a world where social stigmas have been destroyed, of course there is going to be more openly LGBT people, no one is talking about how realistic that is.

It tells a dark and gripping story with fragments of hope scattered throughout. Really cool new types of infected and even a crazy boss fight goes down. There are some moments of frustration, like how there is so much aim drift on a controller (I really don’t know how they expect us to aim without upgrading stability). Playing as Abby was frustrating at first, but Lev makes it a really engrossing narrative. Also, I really like how Tommy gets a respectable amount of screen time. Joel died, that was sad.

    In all honesty I really did enjoy the game but I can see why almost everybody hated it. It was such a shocking turn of events that I really did not see coming. Was I extremely mad about how they did my dawg Joel only 2 hours into the game? Of course I was. I was infuriated. But once I got over that and realized where the game was taking me I really did enjoy it. The decision to force players to play as Abby was a strange one and I, along with almost everybody else killed Abby in almost any way possible as soon as I was thrown into her story. However, as I continued playing I realized it was necessary for this particular story. You as the player needed to see that Abby is no different than Joel and Ellie in the world they live in. As much as I loved Joel, I sympathized with Abby (somewhat) because if I were thrown into her situation I would've done the same thing. It's harsh and dark and felt like a punch to the stomach, but that's the world they live in. There aren't happy endings in this universe and I get that.

    I also understand where they wanted to go with the whole "cost of revenge" story line and "breaking the cycle" but to me what would've made this game a 10/10 is 1 thing only. All this game needed was for Ellie to go through with killing Abby in the end. Nothing else had to be changed, she could still walk away losing everything. Could've been a tragic revenge tale. Yeah you got revenge but at what cost? Sort of thing. But instead what we got was a tragic tale that made you miserable and depressed throughout its entirety with no redeeming aspects. Yeah it makes sense in this type of environment but for me personally....it made it seem like a big waste of time. Also, the simple fact that Abby walks away freely kind of contradicts the whole point they were going for. Abby got her revenge and gets to live happily ever after but Ellie gets **** on....pretty damn stupid to me.

    At the end of the day video games are an art form. They wanted to push a message in this game and I can respect it. The story really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. There was only one problem with it and it was the missed opportunity of Ellie killing Abby. Other than that I really enjoyed it. It took me on an emotional journey from start to finish and it's a game that will stick with me for a long time. In my eyes that's what makes any form of entertainment, "good". Whether it's a movie, book, television series or video game, if it sticks with you and has you thinking about it for a long time it did its job.

    And to all you morons/devs....Just because somebody doesn't like it doesn't make them "homophobic" or "transphobic". yOu dOn'T lIkE mY gAmE yOu hOmOpHoBiC....makes you sound like huge babies that can't take criticism. Almost none of the problems people have with this game has anything to do with that stuff, cut it out.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Contrary to popular opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed TLOU Part II. While my expectations were not completely met, I was more than happy with the outcome of the game. The gameplay was intense and amusing, the graphics were very impressive on more than one occassion, and the sound design was top-notch. With all of that said, the story is where the issues lie. While I acknowledge the flaws that this game had, I believe that the pros outweighed the cons, in this instance.

    One of the main grievances I've seen people have about the game is the death of Joel - specifically how and when he died. His death, in my mind, happened too early in the game (I would've liked it if he was in the game for an hour or two more), but his death was not complete "character assassination," as some have called it. If there's one thing that Naughty Dog tried to get across in the game, it's the notion that not everyone has a heroic death. Even our heroes, as much as we love them, meet grisly and unsatisfying ends. I was astonished with Joel's death, but I was forced to rationalize it and learn to accept it, just as Ellie had to do throughout her journey in this game. I wished I could've had another adventure with two of my favorite characters of the last decade, but I couldn't. Just as Naughty Dog had hoped for, Joel's death made me upset and struck an uncomfortable chord inside of me - it fueled my want for revenge, but it was intentionally drenched in grief and disappointment.

    The next thing many people have been angry about is Abby. This comes with good reason. At first, I felt absolutely nothing for her character. I didn't like her, I didn't hate her, I just did not care. When I was forced to spend 10+ hours playing with her, I was so upset that I actually turned off my console. If Abby had been given a longer introduction (possibly with more useful information about her), I would've been more willing to play her. Fortunately, I was resilient, I picked up my controller the next morning, and I kept playing. Abby's run was surprisingly fun for me, after I got past day 1. While I never grew to like her character or feel overly sympathetic for her, I learned her lore and accepted her.

    I think the thing that upset most players was the jarring switch between Ellie and Abby. Switching from high-paced, emotionally-charged action as Ellie, to a sunny trip with Abby's father was not the smartest move on Naughty Dog's part.

    Lastly, I'd like to talk about Ellie letting Abby live at the finale. This final act of Ellie's was not Naughty Dog's way of saying "revenge is wrong" or "killing is bad." To Ellie Abby's death would do nothing for her. Ellie could finally remember Joel in a peaceful, positive state and her mind, for the first time in the entire game, she was not completely marred by the bloody image of Joel's corpse. Most players would consider Abby's death a victory for Ellie. However, in her fragile state, completely abandoned by everybody who ever cared for her, Abby's death would've been a hollow victory. There is no one to boast to, she can't undo the things that have been done, and Abby's death would've resulted in one more lost child. Abby's death wasn't a necessary part of Ellie's life anymore, as her old life completely vanished on her warpath to destroy the WLF.

    The Last of us Part II is based in reality. There are no dramatically heroic deaths, there are no protagonists or antagonists, and it seems that, with time, nowhere is safe. Living can be suffering. The best thing that one can do in the world of The Last of Us is hope for a new beginning. Leaving Joel's guitar behind, letting her grievances wither up, and accepting that the past is unchangeable, Ellie sets off to find where the apocalypse will take her next.    … Expand

At the end of the first game Joel did something pretty bad to do something good, but this game deals with its consequences. I think they did a good job with Abby - first I hated her, then I understood her. Abby and Ellie are two sides of the same coin. Yes I kinda wish we had gotten a nicer story with more feel good moments and maybe even a happy ending, but the world they made isn’t nice and actions have consequences. What we were given is what makes sense after Joel’s drastic actions at the end of the first game.

    Yes the story is not the best, i was mad the moment i start playing with abby , i had 12 hours of gameplay more or less and i thought i was about to finish the game and then abby’s story gets on the way.

    I will really appricate if abbys side of the story was optional since alot of the hype of the main story was lost due to that drastic change.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the last of us 2 came out on the 19th and it is polarising. The game is both a visual masterpiece and a 14 year olds fan fiction of the first game with a massive budget .
    Starting with a few things I love
    1. Gameplay is ‘’if its not broken don’t fix it’’ as you Charlie of the channel; Penguinz (subscribe to him) said, I completely agree with that. That is pretty much what it is. Its The last of us, in terms of gameplay and its a good game mechanically speaking.
    2. Acting is amazing and the character development in like 5 of the characters is really good and believable (until something ridiculous breaks the immersion )
    3. Crafting is pretty good, not much different to the first, not much innovation, mostly aesthetics but its still good
    4. The flashbacks are the games highlights, such as Joel and Ellies flashback parts, are the absolute peak of the game. Its like a sample of what the game could have lived up to.
    5. Level design is fantastic. Lots of places to climb, escape to, and figure out what to do. The game has a great flow in combat
    6. The art in this game is slept on. It is beautiful, stunning. If you check out the concept art it is really beautiful, so im giving massive props to the artists team, phenomenal work there. It helps an otherwise drab game to feel a little nicer when its allowed to shine
    7. The accessibility options are a really innovative idea, and is filled with specific options that make the game easier for anyone from me who is pretty bad at games despite playing them all the time since I was a kid to Stevie Wonder. Options like High contrast colouring and decoulraing of the environment make the game playable for people with vision disabilities and such, color blindness, that kind of thing. I think this is a great idea and will become more and more common in games. Theres a lot of options that are pretty silly, like prone mode makes you invisible except when enemies go right up to you for some time like 5 seconds. Its not a bad option, its just really funny and I don’t know who it is catering to. Ive never had a game with built in Action Replay before but it can be used for accessibility and also for **** and giggles.c
    Some bad things
    . The writing is objectively piss poor, its like someone played the first game and then took a lot of coke, for the entire duration of the project (but maybe druckmann was just high on life, and toxic business ethics) . I went into the game optimistic, giving it a chance. As it went on I became really really annoyed by the front seat the incredibly bad story pieces take up in the game. On the back of the cover, it doesn’t say, realistic conversation simulation and some stealth gameplay mixed in. It advertised itself as a game that is like the
    First game. Its an interactive Netflix movie. And a really bad one. Netflix would not green light this. Spoilers here on out> if you liked the first game, you will feel very sad and empty playing this game . You will have paid 70 euro or bucks for a game that actively wants you to feel bad constantly. There is no breathing, the game constantly cuts nice or good moments to put you back into nihilism and preachy generic revenge storylines. It feels like the game thinks you are an absolute idiot. It is a very predictable story, and the game revolves around it. The game advertised as a Ellie and Joel revenge story (it implied Joel with be there for a good portion of the game), but its all about trying to make you like Abby and her friends. Maybe she remorrselessly (she never shows any remorse at all) tortures a man, wanting to keep it going longer, having to finish him faster by her friends. She sees Ellie screaming and begging as Joel iOS in a situation the real Joel from the first game would never risk. She does not show a single expression of feeling moral ambiguity, she does not get emotional , she’s calculated. Throughout, whether its her friends dying or someone she’s getting, she immediately continues on and never mentions them again. No screen time is given to those things because the characters don’t even matter. Its all to justify her actions at the start. It was done so badly , it is appalling. Little of the game is you playing as Ellie doing all cool stuff. If it is its a walking simulator most of the time. Other times its a visually stunning sub par stealth game with fantastic voice acting performances and god awful writing .

    2. This game is very boring for most the time you play it, snail pacing to fill up the game. You’ll find yourself wishing it would end and when it doesn’t you’re like they’re still beating this dead horse? I kept playing hoping it would stop making you just walk and talk and do really dumb puzzles constantly but most 70 Europe I spent on the game was for a conversation simulator.
    3. The game makes you play as a character, anyone who likes the last of us or you know good writing, will hate. The game recons everythi    … Expand

I have to say it was a reality shock when I played the game, naughty dog ​​really made me realize that not everything is a fairy tale where there is a hero who does everything right and saves the world in the end, she really did a good job demonstrating how cruel the world can be, I always waited for a different ending with joel and ellie together, but that wasn’t it, that made the game more real, the real reason ellie didn’t kill abby wasn’t because of a moral lesson but because she realized that revenge only generates more revenge. the gameplay is almost the same as 1 but improved in everything

    Even though the game was incredible there were some bad points like: * artificial intelligence, honestly naughty dog ​​promised something revolutionary but ended up making the intelligence end up being a little laggy * the game makes my ps4 look like an airplane turbine, if you don't have a ps4 pro, know that the game suffers from some bugs like flashing textures and framerate drop * They focused a lot on humans, it really is not a big problem since the gameplay is good and brings incredible moments but the game forgot that they are in an apocalypse with a lot of infected * Items are not scarce, they promised more immersion in the game but it helps you at all times, when I played I always had a full inventory because I thought so many * The difficulty, both ellie and abby are super sodiers, they can take 50 shots and still stay alive, that takes away some of the realism even though the game had some errors it was a good game, maybe not the best of the year but one of the best    … Expand

Naughty Dog did not go that here, which is surprising for a company that usually does amazing things with their games. Within the first two hours of the game, a major character acts against his or her established characteristics, trusting strangers when after a full game had shown that he it she never trusts new people. This is an incredibly lazy way to deal with a major plot development. The story overall is a run of the mill revenge plot and poses little in the way of actual character development. New relationships lack anything of substance, reminding me heavily of Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman in the prequel Star Wars films. Graphically, this game is astounding, and as the PS4's lifecycle ends, will easily be the best looking game on the platform. The gameplay is a more refined version of the first, with fewer environmental puzzles, but amazing physics on the rope. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first game's combat, but the characters kept me invested. This is not the case here. Instantly, I despise the villain and the game devs for what happens. I expected this event to happen, but the way it feels is less like Obi-Wan and much more like Han Solo. So, having despised the villain, I expected to relish in the revenge, but I didn't. I didn't want to kill random people that are close to the villain, I want to kill the villain. There is a section of 10 hours in the game where you are forced to play as said villain, in a shallow attempt to make you empathize, but it does nothing. I had to put the game down and I won't be picking it back up. I have seen the end, and I'm glad I didn't waste anymore of my time. Thankfully, I borrowed a friend's disk, as he didn't even want to continue after that initial event. Overall, there was no enjoyment in this game. After all, Graphics does not a game make.… Expand

Every scene with Joel is a treasure and I can't say enough praise for Troy Baker's portrayal of him in this game. Same with Ashley Johnson as Ellie. And oh my gosh Laura Bailey as Abby. Props to her for owning that role.

    The beginning is hard. But I didn't stop playing and I'm glad I kept going! A lot of people are angry with game and immediately want to trash it without giving it a chance.

I wish they had gone a different route with the story, and yes the story had it's issues, I fully expected either Joel or Ellie to die in this one so Joel being killed wasn't a huge shock, but the biggest thing for me is how and when they chose to kill Joel, and the bits where they try to make you feel bad for Abby but I do understand what they are doing. Overall I still believe it is a good game that is worth playing.… Expand

    The visuals and graphics were amazing and and gameplay mechanics felt so smooth and intuitive with plenty of good response. The story was compelling but I felt some slight restructuring of the story order could have made Abby a more compelling protagonist and could have really allowed for rebranding of the franchise in a more favorable light

    My disappointment of the year, poorly developed characters and poorly told story, excellent graphics and gameplay of ten but the story! Oh God! What a huge disappointment and the hours you spend playing with abby were very boring and tedious, except for certain moments, this game is not to be the game of the year and much less nine or ten, I give it an eight.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all i gotta say that naughty dog did a really great job by making the visuals and the gameplay as good as possible, because the gameplay of the first part it wasnt really terrefing and in part 2 you can get a bit more of tension and being afraid of zombies coming after you because they can kill you really fast (you can get a better look at playing in survival) but i think they dont quite get it on the story part, it would be much better to start with abby story to see how she felt with the things joel have done and why she wanted so bad to kill him, apart from that the flashback were soo un organised from my point o view, because we dont know how ellie finds out what joel did on the hospital or how their relantionship was at the time joel died (talking about their last conversation, it would have a bigger impact to know that ellie couldnt say "i forgive you" to joel), another thing is that i dont know why they deciddd to make ellie the most inmature mother ever, i know joel was really important for her but it was really necessary to went to hunt abby when you have to raise a child with your twin soul?? In one part of the game ellie said that she wanted to have a farm and blah blah, but then she makes the biggest wrong choice and didnt complete his mission that was killing abby amd by the time she went back home she lost everything, dina, jj, the farm and the ability to play the guitar that joel gave to her, at least it gives you the message that revenge its not a good thing (abby learned that and had a better ending for her story) (by the way im team abby now)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Buen juego, mecánicas sarisfactorias, buena banda sonora y modelación de escenarios, sin contar la ambientación, que es increible.
    Sin embargo, la historia da mucho que pensar, ya sea para bien o para mal.
    Encuentro que el cambio de personaje fue un poco brusco, quizas si hubieras tenido un poco de cada personaje por capítulo, que se comprementara bien sería mejor. Otro punto a destacar es la duración del juego, que me parece espectácular que dure tanto pero se hace un poco tosco, como dije anteriormente si nos hubieran puesto las 2 historias entrelazadas, quizás hubiera complementado mejor. Entiendo que no todos los finales son felices, ni que todos los finales tengan que tener respuestas y eso es lo que logra The Last Of Us 2, nos deja reflexionando sobre todo lo vivido.
    Hablando sobre la muerte de Joel, encuentro que la historia tenia que progresar pero, como ya dije anteriormente, si nos hubieran metido la historia de Abby antes, explicandonos un poquito, no sé, hubiera quedado mejor.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. buen juego con algunos problemas de guión al principio, excelente gameplay y gráficos increíbles. No me molesta el echo de que ellie no mate a abby es parte de su camino, de comprender que la venganza no la llevaría olvidar. Me dolió que quedara sola.… Expand

    Игра хорошая. с сильным сюжетом. Обсуждают наверно слишком молодые геймеры. Одно что не понравилось - когда принудительно надо было начинать играть за Эбби.(пока не прояснилась ситуация и не открылась человечность Эбби)Игра хорошая. с сильным сюжетом.

    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]
