    The story destroyed this game. I’m sad beyond belief. The Graphic is top notch and the same with the gameplay, but the story....... Waited so long and now they bring us this? Just so sad. The second part of the game when you play as “the other” character was just so bad that you just wanted to rush trough that whole thing. So sad.

    Fantastic graphics as expected. But graphics can only get you so far especially when the story you are telling is so nonsensical. It was as if the writers found some obscure TLOU2 fan fiction online and said to themselves "YES! This is absolutely the story we need to tell! Completely disregard the fantastic story of Joe and Ellie from TLOU!" This is what happens when you inject identityFantastic graphics as expected.

This is absolutely the story we need to tell! Completely disregard the fantastic story of Joe and Ellie from TLOU!" This is what happens when you inject identity politics into a video game. You tend to alienate a good majority of your audience. Why kill off the most beloved character 2-3 hours into the game with absolutely no pay off on the revenge side of things? Little to no interaction between Joel and Ellie besides flashbacks and the golfing scene? I hope your are satisfied, Naughty Dog. Sure, you are going to break sales records with this game and make a crap ton of money. I guarantee going forward your audience is going to be extremely hesitant to pour their hard earned dollars into any sort of media produced by you....… Expand

    I enjoyed every aspect of The Last of Us Part 2.
    Gameplay and graphics are top notch, Naughty Dog at peak performance. The story is a brutal and unforgiving journey, splintering the relationships and people we meet and the people we loved from Part 1. After finishing Part 1, I did not need a Part 2. After finishing Part 2, I desperately want a Part 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Waited years and years for this game to come out and they said itll be about revenge? Abby killed Joel, she got her revenge but what about ellie? She lost 2 fingers and it seems like she cant play guitar anymore, one of the things that joel taught her and probably the most thing that will remind her of joel, dina left ellie and now shes all alone and whats even more worse is abby gets to live after all this? Why kill one of the main characters and talk about how this game is about revenge when ellie didnt even kill the one who killed joel? Its so stupid, this is nowhere near the TLOU1, neil cockmann f us all, made us wait for all these years just to get a messed up story.

    This game has one of the most beautiful scenario that i ever see, bringing back all of the tension that i felt when i played the first game.
    Unfortunately, the story that seems promising at the beginning, get confuse at the middle and end up in a unsatisfactory way. Character development is really poor, didn't have the emotional connection that we had with Ellie and Joel.

    Being a huge fan of the first game I would say this game would have a lot to live up to. Graphics wise it’s one of the most real looking games of all times. That by it self is why I gave it at least two stars. The best part of the first game is the story and putting you into heart breaking situation at the end.

Also in the game trailers it has a lot of false advertising regarding the main characters. The story is one that makes zero sense and feels like a feminist wet dream. Not only is the reason one of the main characters die ridiculous then you have to play as his killer. She’s a very unlikable character as well as the rest of her group. You play to get to your revenge against this girl who killed you father figure only to not exact that revenge. The main issue is these characters are written out of character only to push a feminist agenda. The game play is about the same except the jump button. Who cares. It really does nothing. This has really soured me on ND. Worst sixty bucks I’ve spent on a game in a long time.… Expand

    So, in all fairness since I was defending the game since the beginning, it’s only fair that I criticize it for it’s flaws. Don’t get me wrong, it was a game that was hard to put down and I do believe it’s a good game, but good is as far as I can go in describing it. It’s far from a masterpiece on any level. Game is a 7.6 out of 10

Game is a 7.6 out of 10

    Sound and Visuals: 10

    This is probably the one part of the game that everyone can universally agree was nailed. The environments were phenomenal, amazing looking flora with great graphical fidelity. Lush forests, verdant cities, dark and impending tunnels, honestly you could spend so much of the game just looking at the environments and not get tired. The use of lighting was incredible, especially in those darker environments. The visual brutality of combat was stunning in how visceral it was. The game even offers character models you can unlock so you can truly marvel at every facet of the infected, and just how much detail was put into the characters. Sound wise everything sounded fantastic, it was more of the same from the first but that’a far from a negative. Every sound really added some extra depth to the brutality of each swing. Gameplay: 7

    So this one has to be broken up and examined for each aspect. Survival/Horror aspects, Combat, and Traversal/Puzzles.

    It’s very much a more refined The Last of Us gameplay. If you didn’t like that you won’t like this. The addition of being able to go prone and dodge help open up new ways to approach your combat. The survival aspect and that feeling of terror when it came to the infected was pretty much stripped away in this one. Infected became more of an obstacle to overcome than a fear inducing enemy. The game constantly forces you to ditch efforts at stealth which kind of takes away your freedom of gameplay. However the world is much more open than the previous one. In addition the locations provided various ways to approach a combat scenario, which helps keep the fights from feeling to stagnant. Traversal was pretty decent with some decent semi-open world areas, but exploring outside of these areas rarely felt rewarding. In addition I felt there was just too much ammo available to ever really worry about, same with parts for craftable items. Puzzles were pretty minor and were neither a positive or a negative for the game. The controls are still rather clunky like the first one. (Sorry had to cut a lot of detail to make the word count)

    Story: 6

    Now, i’m not going to go too indepth in the story, as to not spoil anything, but to put it very simply: It was a 25hour long story that should have been 13hours long. At least 8 hours should have been removed and summarized into a 2 hour long segment AT MOST, (the rest could have been worked into a DLC that would be optional and released after launch) and the last two hours of the game shouldn’t have been included at all. They could have rewrote one segment only slightly, and the last two hours wouldn’t have even needed to take place. The game strives to tell a story of revenge, but drags the story in an attempt to expose you to both sides. The story is not dark, it doesn’t tackle dark and horrific themes, it’s just bleak. The game even teases a happy ending which shocks you due to the fact that it’s so bleak, just to rip it away from you for no real reason. To be fair, there are also TONS of moments where the character chemistry was so good that I couldn’t help but smile. Some really wonderful interactions between the characters and adorable moments. ESPECIALLY in the flashbacks. I understand what Naughty Dog was trying to do, and can appreciated the story for what it is, but it’s execution was far from good. The first half of the game I couldn’t put it down because i wanted to know what would happen next, but the second half I couldn’t put it down because I just wanted to get to the ending. I wholeheartedly believe that if they changed a large portion of the second half, and released it as future DLC, and fixed the ending, the game’s story would be an 8-8.5/10 alone and the game would have been around a 9 overall. It would have been a much more concise story without 3-4 pointless and unnecessary subplots. I will say that I have NO issues with how they decided to go about the game. No issues with how they handled characters, and found them and their paths to be a very natural progression of the story. A lot of the complaints are from fans that are mad about this, and they were unfounded. The characters were enjoyable So yeah, overall I sit at about a 7.6/10 for the game. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it certainly could have been done better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the game boasts great graphics and level design, the story and pacing fail this game completely. I'll say this right now, the writing is terrible. I don't say that as somebody just saying that because I disliked some of the infamous story choices, the characters are unrelatable and uninteresting. There is no emotional investment into any of them as individuals and they feel forced in there just to facilitate the story. Characters die before they become interesting, others are written so badly that you cannot care about them. The developers attempt to emotionally manipulate the player in cheap and obvious ways, trying to make the player feel bad constantly. This didn't effect me but It was very obvious and it became irksome and preachy.

    It suffers from awful pacing, most of the time it feels like a slog to get through. This can be partly due to the choice to bring the game to a grinding halt at the halfway point, only to branch off into side stories. They might be okay on their own, but within the context of the grander story, it completely throws the pacing and atmosphere built by the first half. I found myself just wanting to get back to the story but I had to revisit the same locations over and over playing characters I didn't like or care about. The ending is terrible and makes no sense, it feels incredibly forced and It felt like this entire game was built around a theme or premise, rather than built around being a great experience.

    The game itself has issues but the deceptive marketing and proven lies from the developers soured the atmosphere and has had a very negative impact on those who bought into a false premise. Terrible practices to attempt to save sales at the expense of audience trust. I truly wanted to like this game, I went into it with a positive attitude and open mind and I struggled to even finish it considering how bored and uninvested I felt by then. What a shame.    … Expand

    However this kind of game suffer from a gameplay that can become a chore, because the story is the most important reason you play, you just want to know what follows. This is when the game stumble to a pit of mediocre story telling and a plot that happens because the plot need to happens and is the plot that carry the story not the characters, on the topic of the characters, the story disrespects the characters from the first game on an attempt to create shock and subvert expectations. The game tries to give morality to an immoral with an at best an inconsistent values and at worst a forced narrative.

    It is plausible to make a cruel narrative with moral gray areas and be masterpieces like Schindler's List or Saving private Ryan. This game lack what makes those movies not fun, but a great piece of art.

    I've never written a review before but given TLOU was my favourite game as a teenager (it is the only game that I've platinumed), I though I'd give my opinion to the sequel.

    For anyone who wants the happy, magic, dancing with fairies and rainbow princesses storyline that most games give us, then perhaps a story that happens during an apocalypse isn't the game for you?
    I think I've made it clear that I think the story was brilliant, I'm not saying people that don't like it are wrong, everyones entitled to their own opinion. But saying the game has been written poorly is definitley out of order.

    But aside from that, the other aspects of the game are fantastic! The visuals blow my mind, there is one scene where the characters and backdrop actually look real. I just wonder how the PS5 will elevate this game once it's remastered! (Which it surely will be right?)
    The gameplay is much like the first, but improved. Everything feels more fluid and the way you can move around the obstacles and terrain, which goes hand in hand with the more open spaces we are given, especially compared to the first game, make it much more realistic. Even small touches like leaning over a ledge before dropping down makes the game feel real.
    I think, even if you disliked the story, everyone can agree that the gameplay is next level.

    If you're new to TLOU and are on the edge about buying it, I'd wait a little while for a sale maybe? But if, like me, you've waited 7 years for this game to come then you need to buy it NOW!
    If you love it or hate it, it's an experience none the less and what NaughtyDog has achieved with this game is unreal.
    10/10 hands down.    … Expand

    The TLOU in my opinion was never really about the characters or the story it was more like about ideas and morals.

The focus of the first game was on selfishness while the sequel shows how revenge can be a vicious never ending cycle which can claim your soul. The other important thing is to understand why the developers made the notorious second section of the game that people love to hate. The point they tried to make is that there is no good or evil in the world only humans. The other point was why someone’s revenge can be justified whilst other’s can’t.The only reason why they could not make the point is because of the leaks people already hated the second half not even giving it a chance. If you think the game is garbage just because the story unfolds as it does or because what happens to some characters than you missed the whole point of the game and yes whether some people like it or not this game does require some intelligence and a certain age. Not because of the brutality mostly because you can only understand what you see in this game if you have experience in life. You are also required to recognize foreshadowing and metphors to understand what the game tries to tell you. Also some other reviews say that their problem was the large amount of violence made them numb to it. Well that was one point that the game tried to do only they did not realized it. There are so many other heavy topics discussed such as redemption and forgiveness. TLOU 2 is a 25-30 hours soul torturing and it feels awsome. The game is not perfect there are few characters that are kind of one dimensional but I think we seen worse. The game looks stunning and the gameplay is much more enjoyable than the first one. I would describe this as more of an experiance rather than a game and I would strongly recommend it for those who are not judgemental and for those who can look past the thigs that are in front of them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Estuve leyendo muchas reseñas de este juego, pero ninguna empatizo con lo que siento, por eso escribo esta reseña, nunca antes lo había hecho, pero jugué The last of us 1 y su historia fue tan emotiva y natural, nunca pensé que la segunda parte decepcionaría tanto.
    Empezare por lo bueno, Los gráficos son excelentes al tope de esta generación, la jugabilidad es muy buena y suave, las animaciones son geniales lo mejor que he visto hasta ahora, en estos aspectos es un juego de 10, no note tanto la música como el primer juego, sin embargo lo entiendo, pues esto se debe a que siguen los mimos tonos y estilo que el primero. No dejan de ser excelentes temas.
    Ahora vamos a la parte mala. Mi opinión sobre cómo tiene que ser un video juego para que éste sea bueno, sobre todo en esta clase de juego donde su historia tiene mucho peso e intenta darnos una lección a nivel moral, psicológica, es que tiene que dejarnos llenos a nivel emocional, esta clase de historia cuentan hechos que todos conocemos pero que pasan desapercibidos en nuestra vida diaria hasta que juegos o películas como estos nos los traen a la luz y nos los dejan brillando en nuestra mente para que los recordemos y no nos olvidemos de esta lecciones de la vida que nos hacen crecer emocionalmente. Sin embargo, en the last of us parte 2 no es el caso. Al pasarme el juego no quede con una sensación satisfactoria como en red dead Redeption 2 o el mismo the last of us 1 , si no que me sentí vacío por dentro, a penas lo termine se me ocurrieron 10 historias distintas que pudieron haber sido mucho mejores que la original, entiendo lo que trataron de hacer con la historia de este juego, pero están muy mal contada y el final muy mal echo, me da la sensación de que en los últimos meses de desarrollo decidieron cambiar la historia repentinamente. No obstante pude empatizar con los personajes, me costó, pero pude entender porque Ellie y Abby hicieron lo que hicieron en este juego. Aun así es decepciónate ver como teniendo la oportunidad de haber creado una gran y emociónate historia la desarrollaron de la peor forma teniendo tantas opciones para el éxito. Una de las cosas que más me incomodo fue la forzosa relación entre Ellie y Dina, se nota en la interpretación de los actores una relación fingida no natural, es como si intentaran a la fuerza poner juntas a estos 2 personajes que no tienen ninguna conexión emocional entre ellas. Verdaderamente hicieron que terminara decepcionado de la nueva personalidad fría y sin sentido de Ellie, comprendo que pudiera haber cambiado de niña a adolecente, sin embargo, un personaje que ha pasado por tantas situaciones dolorosas, por lógica debe ser más maduro mental mente que el resto y por ende tomar decisiones mas sabias y racionales. A diferencia de otras personas, el personaje que encontré que más aceptable es Abby, ya que tuvo la madures mental de darse cuenta de que había cometido un error al asesinar a Joel de forma cruel e intento redimirse perdonándole la vida de Ellie en más de una ocasión y salvando la vida de otro personaje el cual no me quedo totalmente clara su sexualidad.
    En fin, es un juego bueno nivel visual y técnico pero falla en la parte más importante de un video juego de esta clase .. la construcción de su historia. Esto no importaría mucho si fuera un juego como The división o warframe donde la historia no es su fuerte, pero este… este juego si señores. En términos de valor es su historia en la cual recae el 80% de valor del juego, por esto las notas de los usuarios han sido tan malas, por esto el juego a decepcionado a tantas personas que venían venir una historia solida a nivel argumental. Algunos defienden el juego diciendo que este no es una historia echa para gustarle a los fans, pero por favor, sobre qué otra cosa más se pueden hacer los juegos si no para que a toda la gente le guste y se sienta bien jugándolo para sacarle todo el provecho, esa es la intención, ese es el propósito de un juego, divertirnos y dejarnos un buen sabor de boca. Espero con esto 2 cosas, que los señores que hicieron la historia de este juego aprendan y no vuelvan a cometer este tipo de errores insólitos, y 2 que la gente se dé cuenta de cuan vendida esta la prensa de hoy en día, todos dando nota sobre 9, es que no puede ser más evidente! La gente no puede seguir creyéndole a estos mentirosos que engañan a quienes se supone deberían ayudar con sus análisis para que los usuarios puedan invertir sabiamente su dinero que tanto trabajo cuesta ganárselo.    … Expand

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

    Joel killed a lot of people in the first game and it is normal for other people to take justice. But let's remember that both Ellie and Joel killed people in the past and that does not make them better people than fireflies, wolves or seraphites.
    The fireflies wanted a cure for humanity and Joel out of selfishness preferred to save Ellie by killing people who only wanted a cure. Joel saved Ellie without asking her opinion.

    The fights are the best Naughty Dog has produced, light years from the first game. The animations are shocking, literally. The best in the industry.

    In this game, they took loveable characters and said yes, they're sympathetic, but they're not the heroes and you're not going to forget it. and honestly? that's incredible writing, because it /hurts/. it would've been so easy to tell a similar story with characters we don't know so it doesn't 'ruin' ellie and joel, but that's the point- we feel it because they matter to us, this whole game is so personal to gamers because of the successes of the first game. we're invested, we care, we want them to live and we want them to be happy and that's not what this story is. they're complex, they're traumatised, they make bad choices. but they love each other. we love them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this game with no spoilers at all expecting an amazing game just like the first, and while the graphics are amazing, the game is a chore to play. Now time for the story. The first hour or so was pretty good, I personally liked the guitar scene and other scenes like that, but then comes Abby. At first I already was not very interested in playing as her because I wanted to play Ellie the hole way through. Here comes my first problem with the story, Tommy and Joel help a stranger, and that’s fine because yeah they might have become nicer over the time skip but they would not give out their names at all. Then skip some fluff and Joel dies a very gruesome and unnecessary death due to him and Tommy saying their names. His death was coming, I knew that, but so soon and so unlikely? No, not the Joel that I and thousands of other actual fans know would let himself get surround by a shack full of strangers. Then after some gameplay as both Abby and Ellie I decided that I was committed to getting revenge for Joel as Ellie, so I ignored most of Abbie’s story and focused on Ellie’s due to Abby’s just not capturing me. But as I was playing as Abby going through the standard level, I noticed that an enemy I killed looked familiar. You kill Tommy as if he was a standard NPC, a major character gets killed by a single shot to the head and it is done. I hated this so much. At this point I was burnt out by the game and was just pulling through to get revenge for Joel. So I reach the end finally, take down Abby and wait for my chance to kill or maybe even have Ellie say something like, “You don’t get to rush this” as you get your revenge.
    BUT NOPE, the entire end goal, the entire thing that made me push through this garbage doesn’t exist. You don’t avenge Joel, you instead let the killer of one of the most beloved characters in history, GET AWAY.

    No se ni por donde empezar, yo mismo he dado un 9 a la primera parte, y no le dí un 10 por los motivos que doy en la Review (realmente ningún juego es perfecto).

    Para el caso. Odio a Abby, me da igual si es tranny o no tranny. No tiene nada que ver. Símplemente pasarte medio juego jugando con un personaje al que odias y con peor jugabilidad que Ellie, simplemente me asqueaba un poco.

    No voy a hablar de Joel, aunque he marcado los spoilers. Técnicamente el juego es un 9 fácil, sí, hay Downgrade, pero es un milagro que una PS4 lo mueva, se ve fantástico, cierto que algunas pantallas son más inspiradas y otras un poco más descuidadas, como si algunas se hubiesen hecho con menos mimo, pero bueno. Mención especial a las animaciones de Ellie, son fantásticas, las mejores que he visto nunca.

    El problema es que sobra casi medio juego... es como cuando te alargan una buena peli hasta las 3 horas para vanagloriarse de sí misma. El Señor de los Anillos está justificado, el Hobbit 3 partes de 3 horas NO. Y bueno, le doy un 6 por muchas cosas buenas que tiene el juego, pero darle un 7 como pensaba sería ser falso con lo que pienso.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With this game being Part 2 of the Last of Us franchise, it has truly brought the story to a beautiful end. The game is designed to make you think and feel emotions on both sides of the story. The game wants you to know that your actions have consequences. It truly does make you wander if revenge and the actions needed to exact it are truly worth the costs involved. Both Abby and Ellie were completely justified in what they did and this is often the most difficult idea to come to terms with because we ourselves want revenge for the loss of Joel but begin to realise that if the first game was from Abby's perspective, we would have felt the exact same way for her and the loss of her father by Joel's hands. This is top notch storytelling. There is also so much to explore and discover and be absolutely amazed by in this game. The world is immaculately designed and takes what we have loved from the first game and expands on it in ways that allow us to appreciate the world we have been thrown into and the work that went behind everything we get to experience. This includes the smooth combat mechanics and even something as simple as the collectibles layered throughout the game and weapon crafting. Altogether, the game offers a brilliantly constructed story that achieves what the developers set out to do and gameplay that revolutionises the idea of what you can do within a game. The game and the developers do not deserve the controversy they received, but rather deserve absolute praise for what they have achieved.… Expand

    The Last Of Us Part II - Story writers shouldn't be allowed to work anymore. It's not problem that Ellie is gay, no, we knew that since The Last Of Us: Left Behind. Death of Joel? Well that really sucked and after that happened i wasn't feeling good, i couldn't believe it but i thought that if they decided to kill him, that they got awesome story behind it! So his death isn't reason for bad rating, no.. The reason for bad rating is that i'm forced to play Abby (who i hate!) for half a game! Is Joel killed so we can play ~12 hours character that is 'Built like Ox'? We don't care about her personality, we don't care for story, we care for Joel, we care for Ellie, we care for Tommy, we care for character from The Last Of Us! You ruined everything by introducing new character that killed Joel, you ruined our pleasure by forcing us to play Abby for half a game, you ruined everything by letting Abby go at the end. What does that mean? That Joel died for nothing? Jessie as well? I finished game for 23h 34m (Survivor if someone's interested) and for what i played it almost 24h? For which goal? Why we went thru Seattle for 3 days? What was the point of a game? I don't get it. Why didn't Ellie stayed in Jackson after Joel's death? You could have ended game then, ~2 hours after start and it would still be better ending (and game) then this..

    My rating was 6/10, probably because i'm rating Ellie's half of the game with 10/10, but i was convinced that Part II will be equally as good as Part I or even better..

    The only thing you can do right now is to start creating Part III ASAP and to try to fix this mess by killing Abby as soon as possible by Tommy's hand (because it wouldn't make much sense to make Ellie do it since you lost that opportunity). And to create awesome story with Joel in it (he can appear in it as memories, to give us new moments of Ellie and joel that happened between Hospital and Jackson, or maybe he can be only in Ellie's head, to appear from time to time..)

    I think that we fans didn't deserve this.. As you can see no one likes Abby (even tho u tried really hard to make us at least understand her by forcing us to play her and to understand her.. By showing us her's 'good heart' because of her need to help Lev and his sister.. But even that didn't help. We don't want her in Part III, we want her dead!

    Hopefully this comment will somehow reach next story writters..

    Please try to fix this mess, it's not too late.. Part III is your only chance if you ask me.

    The game ruined its potential to be a great game. The story needs a lot of improvement. Characters just not really that good or decent, so many wrongs in the game to make sense. I would be dishonest if i gave it any score, as of now it deserves a perfect zero.

They made the game play smoother, more fun, and it perfected it. This is some of the best stealth game play that I have ever seen. It's so fun and just so amazing. This game is phenomenal and don't think it's bad by just playing till a major story beat happens. Spend some time with it.

Where else would they take the story and make it as good as the last one. The game is phenomenal… Expand

    Вторая проблема данной игры это персонажи, они прописаны очень плохо, практически на каждого персонажа в этой игре мне было плевать, даже когда некоторых персонажей убивали мне было просто безразлично.
    Третья проблема так это, то что игра слишком сильно затянута, ее можно бвло бы сделать немного короче, но возможно для кого-нибудь это будет плюсом.
    А насчет ЛГБТ повестки могу сказать, что ее в игре практически нету, все что есть лесбийские отношения элли и ее подруги дины(что в принуипе нормально и я не вижу в этом никакую рропоганду, тем более это было еще в первой части) ,и один трансгендер, и его проблеме в игре уделили отсилы пару минут и это не критично(но мне кажется, что это быдо неуместно, так как в постапокалипсисе и во время войны с другой группировкой ей должно быть не до этого), поэтому могу сказать, что лгбт повестки в этой игре практически нет.
    В остальном игра просто отличная и я ставлю этой игре 8 баллов из 10, минус балл за сюжет, так как он слабоват и минус балл за недоработанных персонажей и затянутость. Эту игру хейтят незаслуженно и да библейских отсылок тут достаточно    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay is just as good as before, with a few new features, but generally the same, which isn't a bad thing- if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    The graphics are pretty good and the visuals are breathtaking as expected from a PS4 game.

    But it ain't the gameplay or the graphics that the fans, such as myself had bought the game. It was for Joel and Ellie. It was for their story that made "The Last of Us".

    And the writers had butchered it.

    The storytelling is horrendous. They tried to make "Abby", the game's "Antagonist", or another "Protagonist" (you can decide which one she is) likeable at all cost, which they miserably failed to do so. They tried to explain why she killed the game's most beloved character and then make us sympathise with her, but their attempts were so sloppy, that I only saw her as the "villain" who killed my favorite character.

    The game tried to teach you a lesson that "revenge is bad" (Unless you're Abby, because she gets a free pass, apparently ), but of course, first, it will force you to go on a manhunt and commit mass murderer in order to exact your revenge on "Abby", only for Ellie to spare her at the end after sacrificing literally everything.

    The story had also dumbed down most of the major characters. Mainly Joel. This is a character who was supposed to be an apocalyptic survival expert with over a decade of experience, but he just had to die in the dumbest way ever and that is by making an amateur mistake... Mind you, I am not specifically mad at the developers for killing Joel, I am mad for how poorly they executed it.

    When you play a game, a good game, you don't want it to end. You want to keep going and you're playing with excitement and anticipation, wondering where the story is going to take you next. It wasn't like that with this game. After roughly about 3 hours of gameplay, I stopped caring. It felt like I was forcing myself through emotional torture while trying to convince myself "it will be worth it in the end".

    It really wasn't.

    When it finally ended. I was left hollow. I was so disappointed that I didn't even want to look at the game ever again, I placed it at the back of my shelf to gather dust and lay forever forgotten. It's like a bad movie you can only watch once and don't want to talk about it after it's over.

    7 years of waiting and this is what we get.

    There's a strange mix of anti-intellectual, and often willfully ignorant "analysis" of this game going on here on Metacritic. On both sides. This game is not a 10. But it's certainly closer to being a 10 than it is to being a 0, by a cavernous margin.

On both sides. This game is not a 10. But it's certainly closer to being a 10 than it is to being a 0, by a cavernous margin.

    Without spoiling anything, the fight comes down to one simple thing; Naughty Dog thinks of their games as movies, and in this particular case they made a decision about how to deliver the story to players that mirrors narrative structure from the Tarantino novels-as-films school of thought. Meaning, Tarantino regularly plays out long scenes - long being defined as 10-20 minutes in the context of a film - before revealing to you what’s going on.

    Neil Druckman is clearly a fan of that. And so am I, frankly. It’s a beautiful thing when executed properly.

    But here’s the problem. Games aren’t films. If you’re going to play out a scene for 10-20 minutes in a film, you can trust that the director is going to pay you off relatively soon and hang in there for the angsty in-between time. In a game, that in between time could be hours rather than minutes. And in the case of TLOU2, it is many, many hours.

    That’s too long. The trope dies, and you wind up resenting the people you’re supposed to be coming to love. And hating every new encounter while you wait to find out what happens. It takes too long.

    If Tarantino held a scene for hours, rather than 10-20 minutes, I would hate that, too. The scene in the farm house at the beginning of Inglorious Basterds where you don’t know that the Jewish family is under the floorboards until 20 minutes in? Incredible. Masterful. One of the best scenes in cinematic history. On the other hand, The Hateful Eight taking upwards of three hours to reveal who the hell all the players are and what their motivations are? Too long, he lost me, and statistically, most moviegoers.

    Naughty Dog commits that same narrative sin here, except in this case it takes roughly three times longer than the sin in The Hateful Eight. That’s a *long* time. As a writer and a game, novel and film lover, even I found it painful to get through the second half of this game. I could see that Neil wanted me to love the characters involved. And I was with him, begrudgingly, for the first couple hours, but eventually I grew to resent the whole endeavor. I threw up my hands and said, **** it, kill them, or kill someone else, or kill everyone, I don’t care, just do *something*”. It was exhausting. And I don’t relish that assertion. It’s just a fact.

    Games shouldn’t use this narrative trope. It doesn’t work.

    Apart from that *one* nagging issue, let’s be clear, this game is immaculate. One of the greatest pieces of any type of media ever created. The gameplay is every bit as great as MGSV and RDR2. The graphics are absolutely insane on a very old console on its last gasp. It runs extremely well and I encountered exactly zero glitches or frame rate issues in more than 30 hours of gameplay. The delivery of the story is unbelievably seamless and the pacing is great from that perspective.

    This game is 9 parts perfect, 1 part broken. Anybody who says it’s a 0 is an incurious, unfair, self-righteous baby. And in most cases I’m quite sure they haven’t beaten or in many cases even played/purchased the game. On the other hand, I strongly disagree with anybody who says this is a perfect 10.

    My problem is not with what happens to beloved characters. That’s fine. It is the creator’s prerogative to do what they feel is right and narratively compelling. The problem is the way they do it that ensures a long, hateful gameplay slog for the real-life experiencer through more than half of the game. By the end, I was rushing through and no longer exploring because I was that exhausted. I *never* do that, especially with a game from Naughty Dog, which is my favorite creator in all media by a factor of 10.    … Expand

Но лично мне безумно жаль, что психологическим терзаниям Элли уделено так мало внимания. На них можно было бы построить всю игру — на её рефлексии, образах и страхах, а не на графической демонстрации того, на что способен озлобленный человек, который следует лишь своим убеждениям. Подводя итоги, я могу сказать, что первую часть переплюнуть было бы очень сложно, но спасибо Дракману и Naughty Dog, что они выдали продукт не хуже оригинала. В игре улучшали и так очень крепкий и интересный костяк геймплея, сделав его более вертикальным, проработав локации так, что ты всегда можешь на полную проявить свою креативность в его ее прохождении. Выдали все такой же простой сюжет, как в первой части, но засечь атмосферы, постановки и переосмыслений некоторых мыслей, сюжет выглядит интересным и интригующим до самого конца. И скажу, что как и спервоначалу частью концовку будут обсуждать многие, то насколько она противоречива, то как должны была поступить героиня итд. В этом плане игра держат планку, заданную 7 лет назад. И по сути правда, ведь всё гениальное — просто. The Last of Us Part II — это комплексное произведение, которое затрагивает много спорных тем и лишь пытается найти в них истину, а то как вы отнесетесь к ней, зависит только от вас.

    В свое время я поставил первой части 9,5/10, что я хотел сделать и со второй, но все же я не могу этого сделать так как все же среди новых героев The Last of Us Part II, на протяжении всего прохождения, я не смог выделить симпатичного мне персонажа. От катарсиса, который захватывает тебя в какой-то момент, практически ничего не остаётся к финалу. Закончилась бы эта история на несколько часов ранее, и такой усталости бы не возникло.

    Если первую часть истории Элли и Джоэла вы могли советовать кому угодно, взахлёб рассказывая почему это приключение запомнилось вам надолго, то в случае со второй частью вы тысячу раз подумаете, как эта история резонировала с вами и сможет ли она вызвать какой-то отклик в душе у другого человека. Но лично у меня она смогла это сделать, поэтому моя оценка игре 9/10, если вам нравилась первая игра, то я прошу дать шанс и второй, так как она действительно это заслуживает, игроки не знакомые с серией, лучше пройдите в начале первую часть и только потом решайте нужно ли вам оно. Повторюсь, что я буду защищать эту игру, ибо она почти Шедевральна и не заслуживает той клеветы, которую геймеры обрушили на неё из-за сливов, которые не передают всей полноты картины.    … Expand

I could've done without 10 to 12 hours. Found myself a little bored at times. Spoiler Alert... I was hoping to play with Joel more but the game minimizes that to another level. I didn't like that especially since the trailer Clearly shows him showing up and saying he wouldn't let Ellie got through it alone. Boom! I'm thinking another adventure with Joel and Ellie but this time Ellie is the main character. Joel plays back up but nope. They lied and misled everyone. Wow, just wow! The game just goes down from here on. The story is lazy and contrived. I like the concepts that they were bringing out but maybe for Last of us 3 or 4. I feel like the game could have been more palatable if they changed the sequence in the way the scenes were placed. Instead we a multi-flashback mess.

    - very good sounds and music

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...
