Запомните уже наконец игроделы, НЕТ НЕТ и еще раз НЕТ, Людям НЕ интересны нетрадиционные наклонности персонажей, это отвратительно, эта игра МОГЛА ВПОЛНЕ СУЩЕСТВОВАТЬ БЕЗ ЭТИХ ГЕЙ НАКЛОННОСТЕЙ. Что касается самой игры, это шедевр, в плане графики, анимации и даже сценария. Даже факт убийства Джоела оправдан тем, что его смерть стала сильным мотиватором мести Элли. И посыл игры в том, что месть приводит человека к тому, что он своими руками рушит не только свою жизнь, но и жизни близких, которые так же пошли на поводу мести. Месть это лавина, которая к концу сметает все на своем пути. Но все же, не Элли начала это, и даже не Эбби, целиком вина лежит на Джоэле, который убил отца Эбби. Но разработчики не предоставили вариант что с ним делать, линейность обеих частей кстати и есть еще одна проблема всей истории в целом, но это не так существенно. Возможно лет через 10-15 нам предоставят обновленный ремейк)) Только ПОЖАЛУЙСТА БЕЗ ГЕЕВ))))) Naughty dog молодцы, игра однозначно ушла в коллекцию!… Expand

    I can’t understand why such negative feedback from users. The game shows what was done with love for detail. With a story that makes you empathize with different angles and does not leave the player on the sidelines. Significantly increased locations and their sizes, improved combat, crafting and leveling.
    In any case, this game is worth playing!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So guys first of all i can understand all the negative comments from the bottom of my heart concerning the Story plot. For me it was also a mental Horror trip and absolutly not what i expected.
    BUT exactly this is what makes this game so unique. The Problem is that we as Players love Ellie and Joel so much and identify with then that we are Not able to see things from an objektive point of view. Think about it..what makes joel and elli better then abby and there friend, or all the people they killed during their journey?
    This game wants the Player to see things from a hole different perspective and exactly this is the method to Show us the brutal world of the last of us.
    It hurts to be honest but on the other side its what makes this game so damn realistic.

    For me it was really to much, but i respect what they did there.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel's actions from St. Mary's Hospital were filled with consequences that were not addressed in the first game's story, but perfectly setup for the second game. This sequel explores how those actions in that hospital had impacted many people, therefore a consequence was revenge (Abby), which led to more revenge (Ellie). If any person thought Joel would not die in this game they were blind to the first game's ending. People bash this story and yet at the time of writing only 14% completed the game, the story, as I summarized it, is great. The game play is fantastic, it continues on the original's and adds more of what we love. Graphics are insanely beautiful, gore is detailed and horrific. This game is great, simply put.… Expand

The graphics are incredible, the gameplay is smooth, but after looking at how things turned out in the story, I literally didn't feel like playing anymore. I got a physycal copy and I'm gonna sell it for half the price. This game isn't worth it.

    The gameplay is good, but not as awesome as it was promised. The environment and surroundings are marvelous, though it becomes repetitive quite often. You vague too much through the map, it takes long time to have a bit of action. Although there are some intense moments, most of the game is boring.

    The story is certainly awful. For a game franchise that relies on story, it is horrible.    The gameplay is good, but not as awesome as it was promised.

    The story is certainly awful. For a game franchise that relies on story, it is horrible. Too many conveniences, plot holes, questionable decisions. The message and reason of the game is totally lost and messed up. How can you deliver a message od forgiveness when all characters kill without hesitation other people? Scars do not hesitate, Fireflies kill without even asking. As soon as anyone see you, you are shot or stabed. Then it becomes stupid to try to show you the point of view od someone else in order to emphatize. It is an apocaliptic world, you will do whatever you have to in order to survive and save your beloved ones.

    Another thing that concerns me is to see the quantity of people and how easy they move to another place to visit someone or go to a base. It makes you believe that there is almost no danger regarding to infected ones. Human beings are the ones to be afraid of.

    I can say without doubt that this game is awfully written, not tested to verify errors, and showed things that did not accomplish.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece. You go into the game well knowing something devastating is coming your way. The game delivered that. It might not be what people wanted. But honestly there wouldn’t have been a part two if not for that event. The flashbacks the game has provide you with some of the most heartfelt and purest scenes. The INCREDIBLY details in gameplay the movement the flow from cutscene to gameplay once again. The upgrade system and work bench. Everything was looked after with so much care and detail. The thing that I probably love the most about this game is the relationship between Ellie and Dina, the chemistry the warmth in the most subtle of ways. And the fact the game never made use of the bury your gays trope. A trope that has been used so many times and is so damaging to the community. In fact they did the opposite. We get a taste of what it can be like. And what in my opinion is to come after the final shot in the game. I don’t think I’ll truly like Abby ever, I understand, but don’t agree. And even if it starts out of guilt her most redeeming quality is caring for the seraphite children. Lev is one of the purest characters I’ve ever met and in many ways reminds me of Ellie in the first game. I wanna say the acting and talent this game contains are out of this world. Everything comes across so well. The screams are felt in your bones. And scenes that are happy make you sob happy tears. The game is supposed to make you feel exhausted by the end of your search of revenge and you do. It plays on your mind for hours on end. But to me after that last Scene with joel. The game ends on a much lighter tone. One with hope and closure.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited for this game for many, many years and was so excited as soon as I got it, I avoided any possible spoilers and came clean to the game knowing that the first game was perfect and even played it twice and enjoyed every moment. Eli and Joel were simply amazing and couldn't help but connectto them.Then, came the second game.In one word - disappointment! the beginning is just annoying, this moment that killed Joel with such indifference, I knew he would die at some point but not like that, no way he would have helped Abby. He is suspicious and relentless and would just leave her alone to handle her self and never enter to a trap. And then comes the moment when I'm just full of hatred for abby and just want to kill her and get revenge on Joel's damn death. and then, shamefully i'm going to play abby?! Why the hell?! The whole game I was waiting to be back to olay as elli and it didn't happen and for a long time we were as this damn abby that sometimes I put her to death even though I played her and didn't feel pity, and then when the meeting finally happens, again, I have to fight elli?! wtf ?! Just **** And at the end we still let abby go and let her go ?! And beyond the main characters, the whole story about the bad guys is just unfounded, briefly reminiscent of the wonderful Spider-Man 2 in his failure that was to manny bad guys and their stories unfounded. who are these WLF and why were they created? Who are these scars and why were they created? and who is this group from Santa Barbara and where did they come from and what is their story ?! Oh And there are also zombies .... just a messy game and a miserable story and it would have been better not to go out with this game, not to ruin the first one ... the ending of the first one was perfect! And the story, too, had a simple basis, and in the second game there was just one big mess. And let's talk about the trailer, in the trailer we see Eli playing in a guitar in a house full of dead people and Joel suddenly comes in slowly and tells elli "whats'up kiddo?" And than she tells him she's going to kill each one, mmmmmm where's that scene?!?! Did ND Lied to us? Leave details ?! disgrace!!!!!! One good word - the illustration, the graphics and everything is simply stunning, it was a blast. In conclusion- Don't buy the game, save your money!… Expand

The fact that the story is being so dramatic and violent shows us that the human race is capable of anything to achieve their goals, and that's exactly what TLOU Part II tells. And seeing such a wonderful game destroyed by people (bots) who have not even played it, exasperates me so much. Well done Naughty Dog !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got acquainted with the first part already in the reissue on PS4. The game undoubtedly hooked me and settled in my heart, and the news of the sequel made me just tremble. I was impatient to see the old characters after many years, to find out what became of them and what path they went through. And I got it all in the second part.
    From the first sight, the first sound, you feel the love of the creators. You look at Joel, Tommy, and Ellie, and you remember how the journey was made. However, this path was a stumbling block. When you finished the first part, did you have any questions? Did Joel do the right thing? As a father, Yes, but as a person on whom the survival of the species depends? Many people looked at what was happening through the prism of the fact that they were killing simple bots, but after all, in the essence of the story itself, there were the same people trying to survive in that disgusting world. And as we see, there are no actions that have passed without a trace. I didn't see any spoilers, but I suspected that something would happen to Joel either off-screen or in-frame. And so it turned out.
    A question for those who think the game is bad because Joel was killed: "Why?" You know what kind of world the game is in. This is not a Marvel's happy ending. Here, death can occur at any moment. Killing Joel is a great scenario solution, showing that if you bring death yourself, you can't hide from it later. The character of Abby is not just a woman with cans, like a bodybuilder, and squeezing heavy weights. Yes, it may have been different, as it may not have been LGBT ideas, but this is the world where we live. But the plot of all this does not change its essence. Drakman-well done, that was not afraid to reduce the impact of all this to a minimum.
    The character Abby turned out to be well-written with a story that you understand. She has a difficult fate, like everyone else in the game. But people see only a shell, inside which a person is just as vulnerable and weak, who wants justice. The characters of Dean and Jessie were not very clear. They were not enough to understand who and what they were.
    In General, the plot is good, not without flaws, but there will never be an ideal scenario in the world. There will always be victims for the sake of history.

    Gameplay of the game has made a leap forward. Of course, the base remained unchanged-craft and stealth. But the new interaction with the world just blows your head off. Gorgeous interaction with the world, combat and stealth tactics are infinitely diverse, you do not feel safe even in apparently empty places where no one is present. Enemies are not stupid bots, as in 95% of games, you are not allowed to sit still not in battle, not in stealth, and the success of survival is only your skill. I can scold only for the prolonged action towards the end, or I just got too full of it. There are no comments about the image and sound - 10/10. I wanted to explore the world more and more, so the presence of only one open location for research is upsetting, I would like more.

    I don't know why people don't see the pros of the game, but only the cons. If you are fixated on Dina's armpits, then the very movements that irritate you have won. You didn't see the game, you only saw the cover, which had a small scratch on it that you stuck to.    … Expand

    This game is stunning to look at, just like the first. The graphics are so incredible that it almost feels like you are watching real people during the cutscenes. The voice acting is also 10/10.
    Gameplay is very similar to the first and so the only real change obviously is the story.
    There were a couple of things I disliked about the games story which is why I give it an 8/10 instead of 10.
    A fantastically beautiful game but not quite as good as the first. I would definitely like to see a Part 3. Well done Naughty Dog.    … Expand

Of course there are some interesting improvements in TLOU part 2, for example we can hide now in the tall grass, jump, avoid punches, break windows (amazing animation BTW.), explore bigger locations and use the map, but these are not big changes and generally it feels like playing the same game. We still need to plan each encounter with enemies and use different strategy, we still need to search for supplies and "spend" each bullet / weapon careffuly. I also like story despite the hate. It's shocking and surprising and I feel like it's a good continuation to the previous game (some people were expecting a fairy tale for real? :p)

    TLOU1 was already 10/10 from me, and TLOU2 is even better. Part 2 takes gamers on an emotional rollercoaster with insane graphics and fun combat, and I will replay it many times for sure.    … Expand

    NO SPOILERS. I PERSONALLY RATE THIS 8.9/10 but I will be putting 10/10 because too many users bombed this review as 0/10.

    Before I start this, I will say that if I've known the spoilers/ending before grabbing a copy, yeah I'll probably hate the game too. Because the way people spoiled the story did not include how the characters built up the events to get there. The build up to the end    NO SPOILERS.

    Before I start this, I will say that if I've known the spoilers/ending before grabbing a copy, yeah I'll probably hate the game too. Because the way people spoiled the story did not include how the characters built up the events to get there. The build up to the end of the game consists most of what is good in the game. You'll SURELY hate it at some points, and that's what ND is actually getting at. You will be forced to play the game against your own will because you're just the one who controls the character, not the one who makes decisions. People missed the point of the game, saying the it's about forgiveness, if that's what you've heard. Well, it's more than that. Playing it with no spoilers will be one of your best experiences in a PS4 game. Just like what the main character feels, you won't feel like accepting what is about to happen. And Naughty Dog sure did that part.

    Gameplay: The gameplay alone gives it away. 10/10. There are MASSIVE maps and grounds where you have the choice to explore further or just evade the area, despite having a linear flow story. One exciting thing here is the wide range of upgrades for weapons and ability. You're going to have to think smart about this since you have scarce resources. This is a Naughty Dog game, so you should know what to expect when it comes to the details of the game. The way the player can control the character is just something you are going to geek about. The controls are still familiar, nothing to worry about. It's not that hard to learn the new moves added. Even the most subtle details are story driven. The way enemies react. The way your character reacts. Very real. Make sure to explore the areas!

    Story: NO SPOILERS. It's not perfect. But the way the story was executed may redeem it. There's this one part that is gonna make you want to get it over with because you want to know what is going to happen next. Easily, this is a 8.5/10, just minus 1.5 for some plot cliche. So moving on, the story will make you feel the hatred your character rages in. People will say there is no character development, but there is. And the lack of thereof is actually a part of it. As the player, you get to connect with the characters as you go on with their journey. Remember, you control the character but it's not your decision that is being made. In this way, you can feel what THEIR feeling, also thanks to the good acting. To be honest, this game could break your heart or could just make you hate it. But that is because that's how good the story goes. Hating it is actually what makes this game good, story-wise. That's the point of it, after all. To feel that bringing something to an end will fill the void pain, longing, and hatred caused, but no. It will always leave you feeling empty, no matter how much you desire revenge. Because again, that's how real this game could get. Remember, this is not like the Uncharted series where every ending meets a happy ending, or a fulfilling impression. This game takes place in a world where sometimes people have no choice but to do what has to be done, even if it's against their moral code. And this "moral code" may be the reason why so many players hate this game, but remember, being human is complex. Mind gets f*cked up and it can get really dark that it makes a person feel enraged to have the strength to do things (good or bad), but it also gets vulnerable once a person reaches a breaking point, so you just get to leave things, finished or unfinished. Again, that's how REAL the game gets. Too real, maybe some can say.

    If you're the kind of person who really looks closely into the character of a game, you'll get a lot of insights from playing this game, more so than you think you'll ever have about it. Glad to have it in my collection. This takes a place in my all-time favorites.    … Expand

    The Last of Us has long been a revered title, but the storytelling always did the heavy lifting.

TheThe Last of Us has long been a revered title, but the storytelling always did the heavy lifting. Providing interesting context to simplistic environmental puzzles and fairly standard third person action through an interesting dual character development arc and stunning graphics for the time was enough to embed it in the zeitgeist amongst other classic Playstation titles of its era. The Last of Us 2 is The Last of Us, again, but this time without the environmental puzzles or competent storytelling. Smoother animations, slick cutscenes for embarrassingly uninteresting weapon upgrades, and a shiny new pass at Joel's facial hair can't hide the lack of innovation in mechanics, ever-present movement jank, and repetitive gameplay objectives. I am sick of conveniently somewhat-jammed doors blocking arena exits, reading nigh-dictative letters that no one would ever write, and listening to characters mindlessly chatter away while they investigate dangerous territory in a zombie apocalypse. I'm sick of enemies with infinite ammo weapons that magically either disappear when they're killed or suddenly only have two bullets left in them if they don't. I'm sick of flashbacks within flashbacks, and hearing the NPCs cry out when the fourth guy named 'Angel' is killed. The Last of Us 2's particular brand of faux-realism smacks of weak design requiring further iteration, which is a devastating notion given this game's long development cycle and near-identical nature to its predecessor. At its core, there is only highly-standard third-person shooting and two-button melee combat, with the addition of some mild stealth elements. It was done better before the first game's release, and it's been done better since, but the development team thought there was no need to improve upon any of these elements.

    Thus far I've avoided directly talking about the story. I'll continue to do so, but I will address it in vagueries, because it's an important part of why this game doesn't work. After an inciting incident, and the conclusion to a shorter story arc, there is a twist that involves a perspective shift. This perspective shift is meant to humanize the antagonist in the game, and ultimately show that revenge is an endless cycle of unsatisfying victimization and pain. This shift occurs at the absolute peak of the audience's hatred for the antagonist character, at the moment when the revenge is about to be carried out. The story resets, and you are expected to grow to empathize with the antagonist, who carries out the initial incident over a misinterpretation of events of Seinfeldian proportions. You play again back until the climactic point in the story, which turns out to not be the true climax, and then you play again to another unsatisfying climax. This ass-backwards attempt at subversive storytelling results in a situation where I can imagine many people playing this game hoping for the death of their own player character. And yet, with each death comes a loading screen, as the story demands you take this character that you hate to the story's conclusion. Imagine the famous Call of Duty mission "No Russian", but for eight hours and you aren't a spy that gets betrayed. Hamfisted attempts at characterization and heartstring-pulling ensue, as they are necessary to try to win you over. Whether or not these work on you depend on how hypocritical you're willing to be about killing some people and saving others, because apparently killing for revenge is somehow worse than normal killing.

    It's the same game again with prettier graphics, less to do, and less to care about. The twist this time is that there is no redeeming value, interesting character development, or satisfying conclusion to the story. This game will be a flashpoint of controversy for years to come, despite its critical praise and financial success, due to the politics surrounding the story, its creator's now infamous persona, and the breathtaking division that has been sown in the series' fanbase.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of us part 2 is a decent sequel to the first game but falls short in many aspects. Those aspects unfortunately being story related. No doubt the gameplay is fantastic, the atmosphere is amazing, the scenery and graphics are incredible but the story made no sense to me at times. I enjoyed most moments in the game but the abby sections that you are forced to play about 15 hours into the game were really bad. The reason why they were really bad was because after Joel's death you're forced to play and feel empathy for the killer. I didn't like abby one bit. I didn't feel sorry for her considering she brutally murdered joel and tortured him in such a way that it was hard to watch. The narrative for the last of us part 2 is revenge and by the end of the game when you finally catch up to abby and are ready to kill her you let her go. While i can understand this, it completely contradicts what the entire game is about and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. At least Ellie does survive at the end though. That was probably one of the most relieving moments of the game. Overall I'd say fantastic gameplay, graphics and scenery but poorly executed story and for Abby's section poor character development. Oh and the Rat King section made me poop my pants.… Expand

    After playing Part 1, my entire viewpoint on video game narratives changed forever. I've always been the kind of guy that liked, puzzles, shooting, and SFX. But all that changed when I experienced the first game.

    After seven years of waiting for the second game, I can safely say that TLoUP2 exceeded all expectations I could have ever accumulated in all that time I waited.

    The story takes you for the wildest emotional ride you never thought you could get from a video game. Where Part 2 walked, Part 2 ran. The devs at ND made some INSANE choices that only made me respect their work even more. With bold twists and turns at every corner, you can never be more than two steps ahead in the plot. This story is going to change the way I see games just like the first one did.

    The game-play is riveting as one could expect. There are a lot more options when facing enemy encounters, keeping you on the edge of your seat and the brim of your mind. Nothing is more satisfying than getting though dozens of enemy without taking a single bullet.

    I wasn't spoiled by leaks(fortunately), and it seems like the ones that were and still complain about the game seem close-minded and/or they haven't played the game. Love is love, there's passion in the little things, and this game, when played, will give you an outlook you never knew you could possess.    … Expand

    I don’t understand all these negative reviews left, the majority being on the day of release, so they have barely played the game at all.
    people are complaining about the characters and how different Ellie is, they seem to have the image of the 14 year old girl from the first game... the fact that she is now a young adult (19/20) seems to confuse them, she is not going to be a standard young adult by today's standard as she grew up in a apocalyptic world...
    The game takes away the effect of being able to run in and gun everything down instead you have to think carefully about the encounters, and plan your moves carefully as one wrong decision could be the difference between life and death.
    The story is based on Ellie’s quest for revenger after the brutal murder of Joel, its more based on the physical and emotional effects of her decisions and actions, and you can see her character change due to this throughout the course of the game.
    I am speaking from knowledge of the game as i have completed it once and am now on my second play through.
    Now i admit there are things that could be done better and explained more, however the overall game is amazing, i also love the fact that they are diversifying with their characters with Ellie being gay and Dina being Bisexual, it just brings to light that just because there is an apocalypse doesn’t mean everyone will suddenly be heterosexual.

    Don't believe the hate, that's for sure. Hate comes from people who read/watched the spoilers and now they just react like child who didn't get his candy. And I'm 100% sure that it comes from people who didn't even finished it. To be honest - if ND gave you what you wanted, you'll be upset that "it's the same and I've waited 7 years for nothing new, this game shouldn't be made". Instead, ND gave you the story which THEY wanted to tell and they were sure that some people would be angry, some people would love it but, what's most important, it will give you EMOTIONS and everyone would be talking about it. So, love it or hate it, they've succeeded and probably they love what's happening right now.

    I've finished this game (trophy said that only 15% of gamers finished it currently) and it's just unbelievable. I've never been so emotionally gutted like this by any game. I've cried a little at the end (I didn't cried at the first one, which I love). From gameplay mechanics it's definitely not perfect (but best "arenas" or "levels" are near the second half/ending of the game) but still it's a 10 from me because no other game accomplished this level of writing, directing and acting. No other game is leaving you with that level of emptiness. I don't think that any other game showed you that you won't accomplish anything from hate except senseless violence with no rewards on any level.

    It is a great story with beautiful graphics and good gameplay/mechanics. It's not perfect but no game is perfect. Leave your expectations, take a deep breath and give this story a chance. Just trust those authors. You won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think what people are forgetting is the amazing journey of the last of us where a reluctant Joel takes Ellie on a journey to help humanity, in this journey its highlighted that Ellie needs Joel in both the connection built but also gameplay survival.
    The sequel finds Ellie and other characters take on the 'alpha' role in gameplay and assisting side characters as a full circle moment. This game demonstrates the vicious cycle of good vs evil and in who's eyes that can be perceived.
    Remember that Joel did a questionable deed at the end of part 1.
    In a quest for vengeance that the game makes you want badly you find yourself feeling disturbed by the actions taken by the games lead character. When you play as the other perspective you really dislike the playing initially and I found myself rushing this story arch. Amazingly the game forces you to learn and grow with the character and start to understand their side of the feeling of torment and destruction brought upon their life from actions in the first game.
    However, you still want your vengeance as Ellie. Once you get to the point of vengeance you don't really want Ellie to do it as you have become disturbed with how vengeful the character has become and lost who she is. It feels as though Ellie in her final fight realises that this path has cost her everything and more due to her actions and yet Joel knew what he did was wrong in the first but could live with that decision. He would not have wanted Ellie to become who she has. It ends with her accepting that this vengeful path has no end and the game manages to make you feel at peace with liking your lead character again. Any other route would have lead to a slight distaste for Ellie herself for myself The game has you encounter many other tribes and factions in the second and can lead you to believe and think that the distruction you cause may have hurt or messed with the wrong tribe causing another endless cycle of vengence as everybody is the good guy in their story and everyone is the bad guy.

    At points playing as other characters that were affected by Joels actions in the first they end up hurting their own faction and in gameplay you hear them state they will do what it takes or "kill every last one" all for what they did. This is showing them to be the same as Joel yet initially being against his actions. Making you the user realise that no one is truly good and will do whatever it takes in order to do the 'good' they perceive.

    Thoroughly enjoyable to play that leaves you emotionally drained. Some charater movements were still rough, such as supporting AI walking into you and this pushes you out from cover or hinders your movement. The main charater should cause the AI to move out of the way when you run near buy in this the AI was an immovable wall causing some frantic scenes of fighting to cause annoying deaths. Also occasional lead cahratee bugs such as Ellie's phantom broke arm that disrupted being able to aim properly. This was fixed by having to reset that save point but still small issues that should be experience with a game of this level and time in development. These small but disruptive issues that break up the enjoyable experience drop my score from a 9/10 to 8.5/10

    Love the game, the direction and message and truly holds up the last of us deep and disturbing storylines



    Worth a play for everyone to make their minds up. Very much a film game that heavily carried by the storys emotional journey    … Expand

    Ok so let’s count some of the worst parts of this game:
    1. Joel dies in the most ridiculous and horrible way possible.
    2. You play as Joel’s killer, mrs Olympia. 3. You freaking have to fight ELLIE midway. 4. After going on her spree she decides to let Joel’s killer go... ok then.. 5. Worst ending ever! Ellie is literally left with nothing! -10/10 would not recommend. Also:    Ok so let’s count some of the worst parts of this game:

    -10/10 would not recommend.
    Also:
    Realism, fine it’s an apoplectic world and people would lose everything, but cmon it is just a game that we waited 7 years for and the main reason most of us loved the first one was the Ellie and Joel relationship. There were plenty of other options such as Dina or Tommy getting killed and the story goes from there. This is what the trailer those years ago suggested. Also, I stand by my point that Joel died in a ridiculous way. Did he deserve to get killed? He did wrong definitely but at least let him die saving Ellie.
    People mentioned about letting Abby live because of taking care of Lev, tbh that’s fair and I can understand that.
    Is this good story telling? Personally no as it’s a normal revenge plot but again it’s up to you.
    Is the ending bad? Depends on how you see it, personally yes.
    Does it make sense? Ellie became a mom so I can see it as Lev was there so she let Abby go, still upsetting as Joel never gets the justice he deser    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and great gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story just isn’t good and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. And the ending tries so hard to make you feel sad, without making any logical sense.My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

    If you are a genuine fan of the original game, save yourself the time and do not waste your money on this hot garbage! Neil **** and his lap dog Rita have ruined an amazing story by folding to the way of sjw pandering politics. The graphics are Top notch don’t get me wrong, but the story and treatment of characters is Pathetic and lazy. I am bitterly disappointed with this but hey it’s 2020

    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]
