    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros- it’s absolutely gorgeous. The gameplay is almost entirely the same, so it’s an easy transition from one game to the next with a few surprises. The playable flashback scenes with Joel and Ellie are *chef’s kiss*. And being able to play the guitar is super cool. Cons- here we go...
    It was like Neil Druckman hates Joel and Ellie and spent the last 5 years writing a story to make you feel the exact same. If you're looking for an amazing story, then look literally anywhere else. Not only does the SJW propaganda completely encompass parts of the story for no reason, it adds no value to the empty shell of a story. If half of this game were its own entry to the series without the strange introduction, I might even love it. But I don’t because it’s artistic eliteist nonsense. Please don’t play this game    … Expand

    Excelentes gráficos para una horrible historia, con un horrible final. Absurda y sin sentido. Carece de lógica en la toma de decisiones de los personajes principales. Junto con ello se hace el intento de empatizar con otros mediante el uso obligado de dichos personajes.

    The last of us part 2 is a complete disappointment, whatever fans of the Playstation brand say to defend this game, what Naughty Dog did with one of Playstation's greatest jewels is inexcusable.

It is a disastrous game from start to finish, there are times when many of us who really play it would want to split the screen where we are playing because we really can't take it anymore, we can't take the stupid decisions of the tragically horrible story that Naughty Dog provided in this long-awaited installment. The only thing that can stand out is the quality of the animations in the cinematics, because in the playable section the graphics at simultaneous moments look mediocre, which leads me to think that in the visual section, the PS4 was not suitable to run The Last of Us 2. The truth is, I think the best thing Naughty Dog can do is leave this series behind, since they have no plans to change this game with another decent installment.… Expand

    This game spends a solid 10 hours making choices for you and forcing you towards certain actions.they also wasted 10 hrs on the game making you play as a character that to most fans is irrelevant, annoying, obscure and honestly not very relatable since we haven’t met them in the previous game, they just cropped up now. No story driven game made me this frustrated

    I have few things to say about this game. 1. It's boring, I felt as if I was watching a very long movie and a bad one at that. 2. Side characters are pointless beyond cutscenes. 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *sigh where do i start?

    Let me say my credentials so you don't think i'm a 'troll' or 'right wing bot'.

    I played The Last of Us on PS3, then got it on PS4. It became a game i would return to again and again, i played the game 6 times. Multiplayer was very fun and i happily spent hundreds of hours in the mode. I was hyped, i followed every development that the game had, nearly bought the collectors edition, but settled on the deluxe edition. With all that out of the way, i have to describe my experience.

    I stayed up late, i was in the discord of the subreddit, watching as the minutes ticked down. I was one of the first to enter the game. I was excited, I've only seen one spoiler and it was minor. I got into the game, and... i was blown away, the graphics and stuff. I remember Joel and Ellie's relationship being kinda rocky in the start. Then i was so so on the new characters, Then, i saw Joel's death. I was hoping it was going to happen later on in the game, as the marketing showed Joel alive in Seattle, so i thought maybe he was alive but brained damaged/coma. I had to stop there because it was a awful way to die, but it fits the universe. I picked back up in the morning, i wanted revenge, and i went out of my way to kill every WLF patrol in game play, i didn't feel any remorse over who Ellie killed, as she was acting in self defense. The flashbacks were amazing, between Joel and Ellie hit the right balance between good writing and character development. The only flashback that felt off because of little talking that happened was when Ellie goes back to salt lake hospital and learns what happens. We get 3 sentences and it's a shatter relationship. Then we get to the most meh of meh parts, Abby's entire section.

    Oh boy, Abby has no goal. The Entire. God. Damn. Time. Her flashbacks were nice, i really liked Owen out of the new cast, Smart, resourceful and pragmatic. Mel was the worst of the new cast, it makes no sense for her to be out in combat, the first thing that happens is she and everyone of the new cast gets AMBUSHED and she's out here thinking everything will be fine. Anyway back to Abby. This leads back into my theory of Part 1, a theory that was put out by Joseph Anderson in his review of the game, that the fireflys have no idea what the **** they are doing. I thought Part 2 would spend more time fleshing out this theory that the fireflys were bad, by replacing it with anything to make me care more about the group. Instead you see that they really are scum, they rather they sacrifice the only known case of immunity so they can excuse there own sins. They don't have the best interest in helping anyone. It's just a reactionary group trying to gasp there way back into relevance. It's not like the fireflys would be able to make this cure, or that they would give it out freely. Joel's choice was selfish, but looking at the bigger picture, it's good the best choice for humanity.

    I was really sad to learn that Part 2 doesn't try and disprove the theory i said above, as i think the writers want you to think that they are good, and Joel is bad bad man that 'doomed' humanity. So now we have Abby, a firefly member that would sacrifice herself to her cause, meanwhile, they don't even allow Ellie to have that choice. Anyway, when i was fighting Abby, i wanted her to die, i didn't want to hurt Ellie. The game forced me to win that encounter, because they knew if we played as Ellie, Abby would be dead. I think that alone is a failing of the games story, no matter what growth both characters went through.

    We had a entire game to like Joel and Ellie. We were given no backstory except key snippets of Abby's life. The parts relating to Ellie and Joel. What did she do to join the WLF? What was she doing in her time in the WLF? All of these questions are never answer or hinted at. the best guess you could do is that Abby is 'the best Scar killer' so killing people daily. It just fells like there is a ghost game that would have bridged the cap between Part 1 and Part 2 that would follow Abby and Abby only and at the very end hint at her coming after Joel. Then we have buildup and we like for sure both characters, not because they have kids, but because we could feel bad for them. WLF kill all trespasser, you think Abby's never had to shoot a family? If you think about it, the WLF is a Hunter group, a group of people who freely kill people within there territory. Instead of for supply's, for ??? why do they kill trespassers again? Could you image if aside from Scar's, they accepted outsiders in, just like Jackson? Could you imagine seeing the same **** you saw in Jackson in the WLF? Then it would be a lot more questionable, but nope, they send kill squads around to kill anyone that isn't WLF.

    Anyway, this review is getting long, i rated it a 3 because the game play graphics and sound are godlike. The story however, has serious flaw    … Expand

    NOT AS ADVERTISED AT ALL!

    This is the first game I have ever tried to get a refund on as it is simply not what it says it is. This is not a continuation of the first story at all, but instead feels like a bad spin off set in the Last of Us universe. You spend barely any time with the characters from the first game (and EVERY trailer for the second) instead being forced to play as the    NOT AS ADVERTISED AT ALL!

    This is the first game I have ever tried to get a refund on as it is simply not what it says it is. This is not a continuation of the first story at all, but instead feels like a bad spin off set in the Last of Us universe. You spend barely any time with the characters from the first game (and EVERY trailer for the second) instead being forced to play as the antagonist in a veil attempt at empathy or sympathy or god knows what. However, not only is Abby unlikable after the first 90 seconds on screen, but the narrative only continues to pile on the unlikable traits the more you play. At one point I was just continually and consciously jumping from a cliff to death for the small slice of joy seeing Abby's skull hit the rocks below. The split narrative is redundant and just detracts from both stories resulting in the end product feeling like an amalgamation of two short, bad DLC spin offs, instead of the true sequel it's intended to be.

    Game-play wise, it's much of the same from the first game. Look around, scavenge, hide, shoot. I don't mind it tbh but it does get repetitive after 7/8 hours. The boss fights were really underwhelming not providing much difficulty nor variation other than taking more damage than normal. There were also a few forced moments that were dumb, for example: a certain group of WLF deserters that you are forced to kill, even when one gives up and begs for mercy as the game will not continue without pressing the prompt. The added mechanics of jumping and dodging are so refreshing (for this game, obviously not gaming in general). I was impressed with the character animations as well. The way they fidget and twitch was a particular highlight and really adds to the realism. The graphics are great too.

    The story is just a mess. I mean where to start? As a linear game play narrative I'm genuinely surprised how it could feel so inconsistent. The cast make plain nonsensical decisions that not only go against their own established character but some even defy common sense. The big end story revelation is completely deaf to it's own plot as Ellie has just murdered her way through dozens if not hundreds of randoms, and some innocents, only to suddenly feel remorse for the one person in the entire game it would have actually made sense to kill. Not only for the character, but for the underling theme of the entire franchise - that actions have consequences... but not for Abby it seems.    … Expand

I love the fact that player can now do prone movement, and beautiful graphics on top of that. But, the story sucks alright.

    The story seems to be written by an SJW extremist with short rainbow colored hair. I hate the fact that they killed Joel (favorite character) for nothing, literally FOR NOTHING. I would have understand if Joel died defending Ellie or Tommy or some meaningful **** And the fact that the game forces you to play as Abby THE KILLER OF JOEL are utterly disgusting. And when you tried to kill Ellie playing as Abby? I'm not gonna try to finish it at that point, I'm done there. Hey Naughtydog, if you guys read this, I don't give a **** about Abby and her friends or what they have been through.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account just to to rate this one game. This is my first and last rating for a game in a website because I don't usually do this ****
    The good:
    The reason for three star for this so called masterpiece is 1) the game had absolutely **** gorgeous graphics in terms of attention to detail, scenery and also the gore 2) I really enjoyed the gameplay mechanics of the game even though after few hours into the game it gets **** boring. 3) This game made me appreciate and treasure the first game even more.
    (This next part is for all those who played the first game and is looking forward to playing this sequel)
    THE BAD:
    Whatever criticism I am gonna give this game is fully based on how **** of a storytelling the game had. I repeat I. Dont. Give. **** About. How. Characters. Look. Or. What. Gender. They. Are. I don't care about these type of things when I am playing a story driven game.
    For all those who enjoyed the first game because the ending of the game left it up to you decide whether what Joel did was right or wrong. For those who thought what Joel did was right this game shows the biggest middle finger to all you people as the whole purpose of this sequel was to manipulate you into thinking you are a horrible person for supporting and relating to Joel. The game shows you not only how he got killed but also forces you to play as the killer for the second half of the game and tries to make sure you sympathize with her and makes you believe that Joel was a **** person and deserve to die but never expands on why he was **** person besides the fact he killed a person to save person whom he sees as a daughter. The killer, Abby is so poorly written that she is willing to go full on pyschopath on Joel because he killed her dad ( because he was trying to save Ellie but **** you for supporting that **** even though he saved Abby just minutes ago but proceeds to kill people from her own group just to save two kids who were in fact from the enemy faction just because they rescued her a few days earlier. Abby proceeds to kill a pregnant character but only stops because one of the kids tells her not to. The true psychopath in this game is Abby and the second game is made just to make sure you should sympathize with this pyschopath and if you don't you don't support women empowerment. This games makes you kill people for the sake of the story then tells you are a piece of **** for doing it. It tries to be complex and rich but ended up being stupid and manipulative towards a certain character. I am fine with Joel dying for the story but they could have done so much more. Like actually spend some time in the flashbacks and show us what type of **** person he was but no, they choose to flashbacks where he was trying to have a father and daughter bonding with Ellie. They went to the extreme extend to show you how good of person Joel was and then tells you that you are a piece of **** for agreeing with Joel when he tried to save someone he loves. The story would have been way better if they just revealed Joel's death at the end when Abby and Ellie meet in the theater. They could have started of showing Ellie was hunting for a person in Seattle because they killed somebody she loved because at this point we still be thinking it was Dina (personally Dina served no purpose whatsoever in the Seattle). At this we could have keep switching between Ellie and Abby as both them continued what they were doing with their lives in the three days in Seattle. We could have seen how Abby reacted with her friends and the next scene we will play as Ellie killing off those friends. And when they finally meet at the theater, it's only then we find out it was actually Joel who got killed and not Dina. This would have been a twist worth playing for. We could have cut off so much of unnecessary time and boring fetch quests and the game wouldn't have been this bloated and dragging. As person with **** internet connection, I play mostly single player games because for the sake of the story. The first game made me think for myself on what is right and what is wrong and what is the fine line in between. This sequel exist to manipulate and forces you to agree with what it thinks is right and wrong. The characters should work around the story but sadly this story made to suit, glorify and sympathize with only one character. The worst part of this game is the fact that I can't even remember whether Joel knew why he died. I don't remember Abby telling him that he killed her father. I don't even think Elie knows why Abby killed Joel. (Please do correct me if I am wrong on this) I am only writing this review because this game broke me mentally and I needed a place to talk about this cuz none of my group of people are heavily invested in videogames especially single player.    … Expand

    Part 2 has rightfully been criticized. My objections don't rest with any alleged SJW agenda or LGBT portrayals. Rather, Naughty Dog decided that it should brutally slaughter the story. The studio insults its audience by attempting to force us to play as - and empathize with - the villain. Part 2 isn't a game because there is absolutely zero payoff. The writer decided they could cash in on the solid reputation of their first creation, destroy it, and still get people to fork over their hard earned cash for a steaming pile of garbage.

    Part 2 is sadism, nothing more. Neil Druckmann has admitted as much, and pompously proclaimed that the game will be a cash cow. Don't give him or Sony a cent for this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Обычно я не пишу отзывы к играм, это мой первый случай. В общем, я хочу поговорить о игре last of as 2, или же "одни из нас 2", как перевели наши русификаторы. И пожалуй начнем с хороших сторон игры, т. к. их намного меньше, чем плохих. Шикарная графика, детализация, думаю об этом говорить много не стоит, т. к. уже наверное все поиграли в эту игру, и увидели шедевральность здешней среды. Особенно запомнилась стрельба и модернизация оружия, сделано все на высшем уровне. Думаю, детально описывать не стоит, как я ранее писал, ето знают те, кто уже проходил игру. И так, начнем, я проходил эту игру ещё во время релиза, и недавно мне захотелось перепройти. Во время первого прохождения у меня не было желания выразить свое мнение. Вы спросите: почему я сейчас захотел выразить свое мнение, а не после первого прохождения. И я скажу, просто во время второго прохождения я стал более детально наблюдать за процессом. И я заметил что Джоела так тупо слили, даже не убили, а тупо слили. Приведу один весомый аргумент. Я уверен, что более 90% людей скачали ласт оф ас именно для того, чтобы посмотреть продолжение истории Джоела, и вы не представляете, какая была у меня радость, когда в начале мне дали поиграть за Джоела. И когда я играл за Элли, я думал: Когда же дадут поиграть за Джоела? Ждал с нетерпением этого момента, и не дождался. И знаете что меня больше всего взбесило, то что даже не показали ни каких похорон, чтобы игрок мог простится с героем, с котором ты прошел по страны. А зачем нам это? Действительно, зачем нам нужен этот Джоел, игроку же намного интереснее посмотреть на лесбийский секс, это же так важно и интересно для игрока, нам же нужно угодить фемкам, неграм, ЛГБТ существам. Что дальше будет? Секс людей с щелкунами? А чё? Щелкунам ведь тоже имеют право на удовлетворение своих потребностей. На улице зомби апокалипсис, почему же нам не запретить однополовые отношения, люди дохнут пачками, и вдруг главная героиня 2-ой части лесбиянка. Выше збс. И конечно же надо будет навязывать это игроку. Короче, я хочу сказать, что разработчики 2-ой части низко пали у меня в глазах убийством Джоела, тупостью Элли( а ведь в первой части она мне очень нравилась как персонаж, во 2 же части она стала во 1-ых лесбиянкой и во2-ых тупой дыркой, которая всегда найдет время оскорбить Джоела, который, повторюсь, прошол с ней пол-страны), и пропогандой ЛГБТ. Хочу сказать на последок, хватит сувать в игры пропаганду ЛГБТ, все вообще до лампочки, кто с кем совокупляется, я все равно не поменяю свое мнение.… Expand

    The game has some of the best and most accessible gameplay and sounddesign, alongside amazing graphics. Sadly that's not why people such as me wanted to play this game. It was the story that attracted us, and that was also the most dissapointing part of the experience. Which is why the score is so low. Had it not been for the amazing crutches it stands on it would have been a zero

    One of the weakest stories in gaming ever. Characters are literally unlikable and make no sense.
  56. RM2005

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is an utter mess, filled with bland characters and awkward dialogue. The game touches on interesting themes and ideas but the writing just isn't good enough to make you care.

    One of the main themes the game tries to explore is violence and whether or not it's justified. It tries to get us to think about how a violent act can create a cycle of violence that only leads to more misery and loss for everyone.

    One of the problems with this is that it's completely at odds with the gameplay. You are given an incredible array of customizable weapons and throughout the game, you murder so many people in all kinds of gruesome and horrific ways. The game even gives you achievements based on upgrading your weapons to a high level so they obviously want you to care about this side of things.

    You're also made to kill dogs and people to progress the story, you don't even have a choice it literally makes you stab dogs and beat people to death. This doesn't make sense because the game wants you to question your actions as a player but then the game forces you to do things you have no control over.

    The other problem is that the game brutally removes a main character from the first game and then half way through makes you play as the character that kills said character. It's not for a short time either, it's literally half the game. This decision has been praised as being 'bold' and 'brave' by some and in a way that's true but that doesn't mean it's good or that it was the right decision.

    The main reason anybody is buying this game is because they were fans of the first game. The main reason people loved it so much was because of the relationship between our two protagonists. The relationship between Joel and Ellie is the heart of the entire series and it's the reason people bought this game.

    The decision to kill off one of them isn't the issue, it's how and when it happened and what followed. Popular protagonists have been killed off again and again in every type of media. It happens in Games, TV shows, Movies and Books, and as long as it is handled well and progresses the story in a satisfying way people are fine with it.

    This game fails to do that.

    They literally tore out the heart of the series and nothing that followed made it worth it. The storylines and relationships that follow are nowhere near as compelling and emotional as the relationship between Joel and Ellie in the first game. They are pretty to look at and there are some nice set-pieces but they don't feel like they matter simply because you don't care that much about the characters involved.

    They could have made a compelling, engaging, emotional storyline that challenged the audience but when you remove the heart of the series it's almost impossible to do that. It's very difficult to get people to care about a story if they don't care about the characters involved. The emotional core of the series died about two hours in and in a game that is driven by its narrative this is a huge issue as it makes everything that follows feel a bit empty and meaningless.

    They try their best but they gave themselves a mountain to climb and they never make it to the summit. They really try their best to make you care about the people involved but none of them are all that engaging, empathetic, or interesting especially in contrast to Joel and Ellie's relationship in the first game.

    I guess the question is why?

    Why did they decide to go in this direction with this game? The game director Neil Druckmann said before releasing the game that "We knew people were going to hate it".

    I don't understand this at all, who is the game for then? If you knew that fans were going to hate it then why make this game? I understand not wanting to write a safe, fan service driven storyline but I don't get why you would write a story that fans would really despise.

    I don't know it just feels like they tried way too hard to subvert expectations and in doing so ripped out the emotional core of the entire series in an extremely unsatisfying way. It feels like a wasted opportunity to not just make a great sequel but to make more great games after this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. INTRODUCTION:
    There is A LOT to talk about in this game. It's a TOTAL MESS. It takes the story from the first game, and completely turns it upside down. And remember, it's not called tlou 2, but part 2, which implies it's a continuation of the events that happened in the first game. I played tlou 1 when i was a little kid in 2014, in 2017 i played left behind, and in 2020 i played tlou 2 in the month of june. And i decided to replay the entire saga in the month of november, finishing it in around 18 days. Tlou 1 needs no introduction. Just fantastic. And left behind gave a lot of useful information on Ellie's backstory. Things change with part 2.
    THE STORY:
    When i first played as Abby, i wondered who was she, and thought "Oh, a new character, let's see what happens with her". And it all collapses when she kills Joel. And the way Naughty Dog decides to do it, it's just SO BAD. Needless to say I instantly hated her. Now Ellie's part in Seattle isn't the problem, because I **** LOVED IT. And then, the game just starts going down and down and down when Abby reaches Ellie in the theater, and we get to play as Abby, FOR LIKE 8 TO 10 HOURS. The problem is, Abby's part of the game, it's literally a flashback of the events that led her to meet Ellie. Both Ellie's and Abby's flashbacks are just useless, they don't say anything. Because yeah, in Abby's part, there are SEVERAL flashbacks, which they're all inside ANOTHER flashback, and it gets so confusing. I found Abby's story EXTREMELY boring (Except the rat king and haven battle), when i was playing it i just repeated in my head "Please, let it be over, i can't take it anymore". And WHEN we finally reach the theater from Abby's perspective, we get to play as ABBY, FIGHTING ELLIE. I died a lot in that part, and when i did, it felt SO satisfying. But then, Abby almost kills Ellie and Dina (after having already killed Jesse and shot Tommy), but then she spares them because of Lev, and never wants to see her again. Then we see Ellie Dina and her baby living happily together, but right after, we see Tommy who Carl Grimes style survives a bullet to the head, saying he found where Abby is. The game could have ended there, with Ellie saying she's done and gives up on revenge. The game would've still been pretty disappointing, but it gets EVEN WORSE. Ellie leaves Dina and her baby, with 30 minutes of combat before fighting Abby. But the fight, IT WAS SO **** It's a super bad fist and knife fight, and it was **** if you think about uncharted 4 boss fight, which was perfect. When Ellie almost drowns Abby, she gives up and lets her go. In the fight she loses two fingers, and can't play Joel's guitar anymore. And that's it. It ends here. And i was SO PISSED when the roll credits came.
    GAMEPLAY:
    Now, the combat mechanics were AMAZING. They were INCREDIBLY REAL, the levels of gore was INSANE, and the kills felt so satisfying. Combat was my favourite part of the game because in my opinion it was AWESOME. The gameplay was pretty much like tlou 1, with many enviromental puzzles, grabbing resources and crafting weapons, and many encounters in the path. Bugs are super rare, even though i encountered a few. But it's still very enjoyable. Not perfect, but i give it a 9/10.
    GRAPHICS AND AUDIO:
    No comment. The graphics are THE MOST REALISTIC I ever saw. The level of detail is amazing. Same as sound design, and the soundtrack it's magnificent. Gustavo Santaolalla it's just one of the best videogame composers. 10/10.
    CHARACTERS:
    Just. No. Horrible. Abby's horrible. Yara and Lev don't add much to the story. Neither Dina does. Joel and Tommy they don't count since they're still awesome, but they don't appear much. And Ellie actually passed to the part of the antagonist, since in the final fight Abby didn't even want to fight, but Ellie forced her by threatening Lev. She kinda acted like an **** sometimes towards others. Totally different from 14 year old Ellie in tlou 1.
    SUMMARY:
    The game's been a huge disappointment. Within an arc of 7 years between part 1 and 2, Naughty Dog false-advertised the game, by putting lots of sequences with an old Joel in the trailers, and adding even scenes that aren't even in the game. You actually spend more time killing humans than infected. And humans lived in **** enourmos buildings with electricity and lots of other resources that you wouldn't find in a zombie apocalypse. It didn't even feel like a zombie game. But like a non-stop human killing simulator. It's just pure **** compared to tlou 1, other zombie games, and other Naughty Dog games. Totally different story that didn't spot a single thing with the first game's one. Joel gets killed by the daughter of A **** NPC, and she also gets to be one of the protagonist. It's like saying Solid Snake gets killed by the son of the one soldier he strangled in Shadow Moses. It's a total mess. Naughty Dog it's capable of a lot more than this.
    We waited so long. Just **** disappointed by this.    … Expand

I fell in love with the added ammo and crafted items. I absolutely hated what they did to the story. The direction they took with the story could have been acceptable if they went about another way. Joel's death would have been fine if it would have been later in the game, not the first 10 minutes. The real stab in the back is being forced the play the character that killed him. Splitting the game into two separate people that you need to essentially build from scrap is not cool. I hate that they made an attempt to get you emotionally involved with her. It's sickening. The cherry on top is not being able to kill her in the end. You suck Naughty Dog, thank you for taking my money and wasting my time on this pile of stinking garbage.… Expand

The performances can't save the uninteresting plot with an overused message, i've seen it done before and done better elsewhere, including in the first game where the message about "two sides to a story" was under the message of hope and healing. I hate how much this game throws it's message in our faces in an effort to make us feel bad, I don't even care about all the hate this game is getting cause I'm pretty sure the developers expected this to happen when they decided to take the story in this direction. They wanted to fill us with hate and still have us understand that our hatred at the game was part of the message, well, mission accomplished. I hate the game, I understand what the message was and I don't like it. I get what they were going for, god knows humanity still has a lot to learn about empathy and forgiveness, but i think the execution of their idea was really bad, so much so the message wasn't able to reach a lot of people. Humans, gamers specially, are short sighted and entitled by default but more than that, I think the developers are more at fault for not executing their idea properly and still expect us to like their product.… Expand

    Безумный фанат этой серии. Но вторая часть разочеровала не интересного сюжета, не разнообразия. Единственное, что понравилось это графика красивая и приятная.

    1 бал за Еллі

    Only reading qualities are the attention to detail in graphics and gameplay. It’s a technical marvel. But it’s a linear narrative game, which fails at demonstrably.

If you are a fan of the first one and have developed a connection with these characters, the sequel, this game, will throw away everything that made the first game so good, and spit in your face while at it. Imagine playing the masterpiece that is the first game, and wait for 7 years to know and experience what happens with the characters that you grew to love, only for them to go the direction that they did, leading you off a cliff and while you fall, you just wish for the fall to end but keep going for hours until you crash into the ground, and the crash is worse than what you expect. Naughty dog was under the impression that if their art made you feel hate towards it, then that means their artistically good. There is nothing clever about the garbage story that was this game. There were numerous plot armor and plot convent moments and out right out of character moments and just plain retarded decision made. The new characters are not nearly as interesting as the ones in the first game and the ones you already know are put on the backseat, and the drivers are characters that the game tries so hard to make you give a **** about but fails and just turns into a shore to tolerate them whenever they’re on screen. For hours. Of course there were some social justice elements in there but they could be dismissed because the direction the franchise chose with the narrative is way more devastating and is the main problem that people have with this game. It might be more bearable to a new comer but if you played the first game, do not, I repeat, do not play the sequel. It will ruin your outlook on the franchise. What naughty dog is doing is dismissing us as haters and bigots and not realize that we were huge fans of the first game. But because of their arrogance and denial, they have their “set in their way” attitude, dismissing valid criticism as ignorance. They genuinely think that some are bad people for hating their garbage narrative, thinking they have the moral high-horse. When in reality, they’re just standing on a big pile of **** that is their game. Kinda shows how fragile their ego is. I used to have such high respect for this company, but after what they did, especially after the fact that they spit at their long time fans, they lost all credibility for me and have of their fan base. So. All in all, I do not recommend this game. It was the biggest disappointment I’ve ever experienced in any game I’ve played ever through my life.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics and Physics are certainly the strong points of the game! This is single player story based game, so its strong point must be on the narrative part. And this part is so weak, first because of the way characters are handled, not giving them proper conclusions or completely destroying character traits for just pushing the story! Second, reusing the same combat engine from the first game (after seven years, they couldn’t come up with something new) and third, ruining the games story for pushing, like always seen in other games and movies this stupid politics agenda! Look, they made us care for Joel and Ellie in the first Last of us! So tell me, why couldn’t they just give the proper respect to them and end it in a much meaningful and respectful way?… Expand

    Обидно, что продолжение шикарной первой части вышло таким, мягко говоря, спорным. Из плюсов можно лишь выделить техническую реализацию. Сюжет и персонажи это просто что-то с чем-то.. Лучше бы она вообще не выходила. Дракмана за это уволить нужно.Обидно, что продолжение шикарной первой части вышло таким, мягко говоря, спорным. Из плюсов можно лишь выделить техническую реализацию.

    3 ставлю только из-за мести, которая в сюжете всем слепит глаза. История о девочке, ставшей чудовищем, которая уничтожала все что ей мешало в её цели. МЕСТИ. Ты уже начинаешь переживать не сколько об Элли, сколько о её поступках
    Собственно почему не 10?
    В самом начале нам демонстрируют гибель глав. протагониста первой части , которого все так любили, и его убили как последнюю собаку.

    I have difficulty writing this review. I had wanted to like this game, based on how much people seemed to love it. I heard it won game of the year, I heard it won best narrative (of which I now do not understand how) and I heard that it was one of the best games of the year 2020.

I heard it won game of the year, I heard it won best narrative (of which I now do not understand how) and I heard that it was one of the best games of the year 2020.

    I would like to say that as a game, it was fairly standard. A cover shooter with some stealth that feels fine to play, though melee combat is very clunky and feels poor. A dodge button is only used when the enemy attacks, otherwise you just press the same button and watch your character beat the enemy up without effort.

    Gunplay is normal, an acceptable level of fun to be had when shooting enemies. The guns are varied enough and the sounds are very well done.

    Music is strangely dull. It seemed to feel empty, or without reason. Like playing the main theme to a franchise when nothing is happening, it felt proper only in certain places. It was very good music but just seemed wrong for how empty the game felt.

    The story is so childish. I wonder if it's my culture, but Americans seem to like this kind of story? It won best Narrative, but I don't understand how it could. The villain is so unlikeable, and yet you're made to like them. The hero is made to be a villain, but in a childish way that feels forced. I found I was just annoyed at how silly the story was when I was expecting some kind of masterpiece.

    The acting seemed very good to me, like Hollywood movies or big productions. The story itself felt like someone had written something on a napkin over a few weeks, put it on a refrigerator and said, "Let's make this the story!"

    I'm very disappointed in my purchase. If you are looking for a story game, or an experience, then I would tell you to avoid this game. Unless you are looking for something to make you dislike American writing more, I would stay away.

    If you want a story about revenge, buy God of War, or if you want a story about the bad that comes from revenge, give Red Dead Redemption a try.    … Expand

Not fun, needed many breaks to finish the game cause fed up not playing Ellie and Joel. Imagine playing uncharted 4, but they killed Nathan and you play as his wife Elena getting revenge, but for 2 minutes, then you play the despicable Rafe Adler for most of the game and play even through times only to learn about how he lived as a kid and how liked to play Lego and had his favorite pet, and then so in and so on until what made him despicable, you still don't care and he still deserves capital punishment cause he killed Nathan anyway, and then in the end you actually don't get revenge, no, you save his life and all go your separate way. Like just ... No thank you.… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

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