    The craft is incredible. The little details show how thoughtful and passionate Naughty Dog is (each character has their own heartbeat which determines their breathing, stealthiness, and endurance???).

Incredible replay value, especially on second playthrough once you have new perspectives. The story is literary and has no interest in catering to lowest common denominator expectations. The best game I’ve ever played. PS The haters are embarrassing Expand

    Entertaining gameplay that does nothing new but works Great. The story is really really bad and makes no sense whatsoever. Lets Just remember part 1 as a contained story and forget about this one.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nothing super new to gameplay so I just played this to get to some other titles releasing later on (Tsushima and Paper Mario). Story felt like a slog especially the second half (couldn’t get invested in the new characters at all). It felt like unnecessary padding added to the game at some points. Positives are that I liked the somewhat open world concept and city exploration as well as the very enjoyable, challenging, rewarding boss fight with the rat king. Expand

    What can I say about this game I am disappointed in the direction they went with this game.
    I did not like the characters and what they did with them.
    This game got me riled up angry even. that is never a good thing. does this game have any good parts sure, the gameplay is fun you will enjoy killing humans and infected. The world itself looks amazing. it's just the story that is bad

    If you are looking for pure gameplay and just play games for gameplay then this game is for you.
    If you play for the story stay clear of this game,
    I myself can not recommend this game.

    The Good: Visuals and sound are remarkable. Level design is decent. New rope mechanic is nice.

    The Bad: Fist TLOU story was what made it one of the best games ever. TLOU2 story on another hand is garbage. Characters don't make me care about them at all and the ending is horrible.

Finalement le scénario d’une vengeance pas mauvais mais tellement long... un mélange du syndrome David Cage, mais aussi celui des farcry où tu refais sans cesse les mêmes actions. Je fouille, gunfight, cutscene et ça pendant 35h. Alors oui les graphismes sont au dessus de la moyenne sur PS4, oui les ambiances sont bonnes et parfois incroyable mais franchement où était le plaisir... se retaper les 3 jours était une purge,,, je ne parle même pas de la ferme... franchement c’était... chiant, je n’ai pas d’autre mot. Si aujourd’hui nous devons accepter des scénarios aussi longuet sous prétexte de leur ouverture d’esprit je préfère refuser de jouer. Une mention spéciale pour le chapitre avec Joel où Elie mets les écouteurs lors du décollage de la fusée, j’ai lâché ma larme, un grand moment de jeu vidéo. Malheureusement le seul. Je suis le premier déçu. Expand

    But no one is laughing because this could and should have been an easy win for naughty dog. But they decided to do something different. Different is great but risky. This as not the franchise or time to be different. And I'm not talking

This as not the franchise or time to be different. And I'm not talking about some pc nonsense about lgbt+ or muscles. The new characters are fine but the writing is poor and the characters are wasted.

    Sadly eveything else is awesome from sound to graphics to gameplay. Amazing stuff. But the story and focus and pace and the feeling you have when it's all over ....is unpleasant. The game makes you feel ill. Sad...And angry but at the devs...not the clever writing.

    Buy it on sale and decide for yourself. 6/10 maybe 7 but not at full price and not when the devs keep behaving like spoilt children.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 정말 모든 게 엉망인 게임입니다. 우선 스토리에 개연성도 없이 우연성에 기댄 전개가 너무 많습니다. 메세지를 전하고 싶으면 보는 사람이 좀 거부감이 들더라도 납득할 수 있게 이야기를 촘촘하게 만들어야죠. 이건 뭐 이야기를 통해서 자연스럽게 메세지를 전달하는 것이 아니라 메세지를 위해 자기들이 마음에 드는 요소들을 여기저기에서 갖다붙이고 연결은 대충 한 느낌이에요.
    그 여기저기서 갖다 붙인 요소들에는 PC 요소도 있는데 PC 요소가 자연스럽게 이야기에 어울리면 모를까 너무 이야기에서 겉돌아서 거부감만 들고 오히려 PC를 싫어하는 사람이 만들었나? 그런 생각도 듭니다. 동성애자인 엘리는 복수 땜에 정말 많은 사람들을 죽이지만 정작 복수의 대상인 애비는 용서하는 이해 못할 모습을 보여주고 디나는 엘리와 사귀면서 제시의 아이를 임신하고 동양인인 제시 가지고는 전혀 우습지 않은 인종차별적인 유머나 치고 있고 별 비중도 없이 걍 허무하게 죽여버리고 이게 진정 PC를 위하는 건지도 모르겠어요.
    그리고 애비를 플레이하게 만든 게 애비한테 공감하게 만들기 위해서라고 제작자가 인터뷰를 했는데 그 말도 이해를 못하겠어요. 자기는 자기 아빠를 죽였다고 자기 목숨을 살려준 조엘을 잔인하게 죽였으면서 앨리가 그것에 대해 복수하니까 살려줬더니 은혜를 이딴식으로 갚냐는 위선적인 모습을 보여주는 장면에서 바로 애비로 플레이하게 넘어가는데 어떻게 이게 애비한테 공감하라는 겁니까? 악의적으로 애비에게 공감 못하게 순서를 그렇게 만들었다는 게 더 설득력있을 것 같아요. 그리고 임신한 애인이 있는 놈이랑 바람피고 수없이 이중 잣대를 들이대는 캐릭터를 누가 좋아하고 공감을 합니까?
    게임성은 좋다 전투는 재밌다 그러면 뭐해요. 스토리겜에서 스토리가 망해버렸는데 다시는 하고 싶지 않은 게임입니다. 1점도 아까워요.

This game may receive a lot of hate from its fans, and to be honest I was very angry myself seeing a character I love so much and have such a deep attachment to receive such a horrible fate. But being the big TLOU fan I am I needed to see how Ellie’s story unfolded despite how sad I was. After completing the game I can safely say with all my heart that this game is a masterpiece and I would give a score above ten if I could. If you’re a TLOU fan, please give this game a chance. It will not disappoint in the slightest. The immersion and emotions you feel while playing this game is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced from any other game I’ve played. You feel every little thing Ellie feels, you truly become one with her through this wild but beautiful experience Of a game. Expand

I think this game depends alot on its story ( because of the lack of entertaining gameplay) so of you don't like the story I don't think this is the game for you OR if you have already seen the story or a full walkthrough on youtube I don't personally think playing the game for yourself will offer anything new. Like for example Horizon Zero Dawn , even if you know everything that happens in the story is a game worth playing by yourself because of the amazing gameplay , this one not so much because of what I said about the combat not being so often and in the end this is a video game review not a movie or tv series review anyways I'm glad I played it and I don't think this game is trash just because I don't love the story , but I definitely don't think this is a masterpiece or as good as the first one ( The first one with this combat would be amazing ) so that's why for me it's a 7-8 out of 10 Expand

Very few changes that make a difference from the 1st one. Feels like the same game without the interesting story totally misses the mark thru out.Below average game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ok so i know im a bit late to the party, and the game probably dident get better from me playing it with a couple of weeks break in between each sesion, but damn this game was just not able at all to draw me in. and dont get me wrong.

    so first of all this game i defenetly not a 0 a 1 or even a 2. it is atleast a 3. but at the same time it is no way near a 10 if the game had cut out about 1/3 of the game/storry and had a nother more "fair" end to it, it might had been like a 7 or at moste an 8

    i dident minde Ellie being Lesbian though i felt like it added something pretty meaning less to the "main storry" of the game.
    so before i start "bashing" the storry i wloud like to say that i love TLoU1 and the uncharted games with nathan drake as main character, with Uncharted 2 as on of my favorite games ever, and i will get back to this later.

    Ok so the game looks great, the gameplays feels nice and all that, but that is simply not enough to make up for the storry. So if i am to be honest i wloud have loved the idear of playing as Joel again, in another grand adventure with him and Ellie, but that was not the case, but i sertainly dont minde playing as Ellie. its actualy kinda nice i would like to say. and i love the flash backs, and would even say thoes are the best part of the game. all the sime wee get to spend with joel and ellie together even though they have their problems they are trying to overcome.

    But Ellie has become the strong woamn one would exspect her to become with Joel as her "mentor" and that is nice. so after playing about 10 hours as Ellie in this world that feels a bit like a open wold game but also a bit to small for it to be that. i found the maps to be a bit to big for a linear game and offen found myself runing around to loot everything/check it all out witch ad a lot of time to the game. but at the same time a bit too small.

    but then the game comes to the part where it all feels like its about to end with he faceoff between Ellie and Abby and its feels like its about to end in some spectaculair way, wich it probably should have, but it does not do that. and then you have to play like another 10 hours as the villan in withc i was just thinking the whole time "sooo am i soon done with playing as Abby?"

    and this i where i come back to the uncharted part. because in uncharte the lost legacy wee get a i got a very simleair experience with Nadime who is made one of the villans of uncharted 4, and i could just not make my self get any sympathie for her in lost legacy, and its the same thing with Abby.
    like no matter how sad it is for her that Joel killed her father and all that she still kiled Joel.
    and well on top of that they try to make one care for all her "friends" from the WLF witch just feels like a drag.

    like you spend a coulpe of hours with Tess in the first game and in that time i got way more attached to her than i got to anyone of the new characters from this game. what im trying to say is that the only "main" characters from this game i care about is Ellie, Joel and Tommy. thats it, i pretty mutch never end up caring about the rest of them.

    ok so after playing as Abby for way too long we finaly end up in the spot where wee played as Ellie last, and i was imagening that the game would shift over to playing as Ellie again, but instead after shooting Tommy in the head (witch he aperantly survives) it makes you fight Ellie and damn did i dislike that part even more than everything els in this game. HELL **** YES i disliked that a **** ton.

    well with out spoiling too much Ellie and Dina then survives and lives a "peacefull" life for a year or 3 witch also just feel like they are draggin the game/storry out, wich then ends in Ellie leaving to finaly REALY kill Abby.

    well the game redeems it self a bit with the last cutscheen with Ellie and Joel talking alone.

    soo in conclusion dont by the game, watch it on youtube or someting.

    i was really disaponted by it and i had keept my self away from ALL spoilers besidel like a trailer or tow.

    if i were to end my review with individual score for the components of the game they wloud be:

    Graphics/music: 9/10

    Gameplay: 7,5/10

    Storry: 3/10

    it has some good moments, but it has way more bad ones and that is not something the game can afford and playing at least half a game as a character you dont like is just not enjoyabel.
    i give it a 4 in total.

    with it being a game to this price it needs to diliver more than 4-6 hours of good gameplay especaly from a Developer like Naughtydog. sorry

    I loved the first game with its wonderful characters and well told story, you really felt something when important characters died because they were well written and it was believable, on the other hand tlou2 says screw that it takes a whole different direction. If you truly want to play a masterpiece I suggest you skip this one and get the first game, now thats a great game to play.

    One of the greatest games of this generation.
    I would have eliminated 4 or 5 hours of unnecessary gameplay, but the narrative, gameplay mechanics, graphics... are breathtaking.
    I seriously can't understand the problems with the narrative, the caracteres are human 'till the bone, the development of these is great... Dark and raw. Real.
    Without a doubt, the game should have gone on sale years later.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like most people Joel's death was shattering. After the first game and playing as Joel through all the struggles and waiting 7 years to do it again, to not get the chance to again was a disappointment but to have his death within the first hour was even worse. Feeling emotionally flat while playing the game afterwards. Setting out as Ellie for revenge, this is a big difference to the Ellie from the first game the spark and joy is gone from her outlook on life, Rage and brutality replace them. Going through the story I enjoyed a lot of the new features, nothing better than a silencer headshot. Stalkers are a much better enemies and always felt anxious when encountering them. Exploring is great and finding all the collectibles of how people are living through the outbreak are intriguing and I do like the Dina and Ellie interactions within the open world, which when your playing day 1 in Seattle are amazing. Flashbacks with Ellie and Joel hit home just how much you miss playing as them and bring the first game vibes back. Seeing the heartbreak when Joel finally confesses what he did in the previous game and Ellie reaction and her leaving Joel. On the flip side when you flip to playing as Abby - Joel’s killer, the flashback seem to drag and this is where the game pacing lags abit. I get what naughty dog was trying to do with Abby, anyone who has had their dad killed would of course want revenge on the person. But we had already played through a 20+ hour game as Joel connected to the character waited 7 years to play as him again and to have him killed and then to play as his killer, personally not a fan and I couldn’t connect to her as a character and all of her friends are throw away characters and forgettable and I had no attachment to them at all. Maybe if this game was all around Abby and then maybe Part 3 was the Ellie/Abby face off there could’ve been abit more investment with Abby side of things. But personally I never was fully invested and was just trying to get through to where we had left Ellie. What I will say about Abby part of the game is it definitely has the bigger standout moments. The ratking boss fight in the hospital a favourite, The climb up the building and crane, dodging tommy sniper rounds, fleeing through the forest with only your melee attacks against stalkers and the fight and flee of the Scars island while burning are all standout exciting moments. Ellie has some great campaign moments too (the first encounter with the scars a personally favourite, hearing those whistles for the first time) Abby moments standout more and are more memorable which the developers maybe have Abby these better moments so people could enjoy playing as the character more. Lev I felt was thrown in to show a compassion side to Abby but this connection felt forced and didn’t really have enough time to develop a connection with them the same way Joel and Ellie in the first game. Then we play as Abby fighting Ellie, and in this part I hated it I just wanted to get through it as quickly as I could didn’t enjoy it one bit. Then we get to the cutscene and when Abby holds a knife to pregnant Dina and Ellie says she’s pregnant and Abby response is “Good” and is about to slit her throat before Lev stops her. This shows that Abby is still a monster and hasn’t change, I get she wants revenge for her friends and Owen and Ellie had killed Mel who was pregnant as well. But at least Ellie felt physical sick from her actions and was shaking, Abby was going to enjoy killing Dina, both Abby and Ellie could both be consider monsters with their brutality but at least Ellie was likeable. Then Ellie goes for revenge one last time leaving her life behind and goes through the rattlers picking up a great silenced machine gun, finds Abby tortured and has one final brutally battle against her, I personally didn’t care if Abby lived or die, I was over it the story had drained me and I was done. The first game I could pick up and replay again and again. This game I’m not sure if I could commit to playing again no matter how go the gameplay is, when the story is as depressing and unenjoyable id rather play something else for minding numbing gameplay goodness. This game is one you have to play to make up your own mind I can see why people will love it, but I’d highly recommend waiting until the price drops before committing to it, in case you end up hating it. All I can say is The last of us part 3 will be interesting if they ever make one. Expand

    Just completely disappointed with this game. First I'll start with the pros. The visuals and voice acting are extraordinary. The negatives however far outweigh the positives. The gameplay is completely unchanged from part one which makes it feel more like a DLC than a new game. And of course there's the story and writing. What a complete and utter mess.

    -I've droped the game when saw the reason why Abby killed Joel.

    Now spoilers:
    There are no reason in such violence killing Joel. Abby's father totally deserves his death, cause if you are ready to take someone's dauther life without asking, be ready to die from father's hand. The reason why I've droped the game is that gamedevs force me to play for f*cking **** person for 13 hours without any reason. I don't care at all what life she had after/before father's death. If only author would have some imagination and probably take and spend some more time to think about plot, it could be 10/10 game. (Some ideas, imagine if Joel killed her siblings or parents that time, when he was smuggler. For example, Joel brings some medicine and Abby's father stole it for Abby's mother to heal, but Joel had to bring it back otherwise he might be dead and thats is what I've expected! 2 sides of dying world, where people live with only one rule "kill or die" and there are no bad or good, everybody just want to survive. And what I've got ...

I loved TLOU and the Left Behind DLC, basically because they combined great graphics, sound and gameplay with compelling storylines. The good first: TLOU2 is hands down the best looking and sounding game on PS4. Props to those guys for raising the bar to a standard that won't be met again until the PS5. There's great action scenes in TLOU2: riding and shooting, chilling boss encounters and creepily dark rooms full of clickers etc. I would say 10/10 for Graphics and sound and a solid 8 for gameplay, which is basically the same as in TLOU part 1. But the story is just such a jumbled mess. Characters making decisions that are completely out of character, new characters you don't give a **** about, an unnecessarily jumbled timeline with needless flashbacks and cutscenes that just seem to drag on forever (and you actually have to click/walk through to add to the tedium). To top it all off, an underlying message of "Revenge is bad, nobody's really good" that is layered onto it so thickly throughout the game, like the cheap cheese on a Subway sandwich. Likewise: it nastily clings to your palate and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. When you finally come to the (equally illogical) ending of it all, you just don't give a **** anymore about any of the characters. This franchise is ruined by the ridiculous messaging so obviously pushed by the lead storyteller. And I'm not talking about LGBT representation, something most fans like me are completely cool with and was masterfully done in the Left Behind DLC. I'm talking about the typical post-modern crap: the "lol-nothing-matters, everything is morally gray, there is no good and bad" trope that pervades the writing and makes it indeed impossible to feel anything real for any of the characters, because they act like most people would never do, even under these stressful circumstances. At the end of it all, I was just left with the biggest "Meh" ever and was glad that I didn't have to go though endless cutscenes and backstory on characters I don't give a ish about anymore. Druckmann really needs to take the L on ruining a great franchise. If ever there is a Part 3, I hope the whole writing/storyboard team that did this gets the boot first. He's now accusing everyone critical of the abysmal story as being bigots etc., where apart from the usual pathetic trolls, most ppl are just genuinely pissed about a story with truck-sized plotholes and him pissing over every character from the original franchise. Sorry about the review turning into a rant, but I've looked forward to this game so much and like many, had the experience completely ruined by this lame story. So 0/0 for the story and a big FU for Druckmann for ruining what should've been game of the year for me. Expand

Abby is so unlikeable and should be the villain because of that. Nobody wants to play as abby. The first 10 hours were great but playing as Abby is horrible. Owen is boring, Mel is as annoying as Abby. U should play the full game as Ellie and not be expected to like Abby despite her killing Joel. Tommy barely features and Jessie, the only good new character is killed by Abby for no reason. I think this game is a 6/10 but we can’t let the writers think that this story is actually good. I wouldn’t have minded the story if Abby died at the end but of course she didn't because Abby is perfect and Ellie is trash.This game could’ve have been incredible but the morale of the story is that violence is wrong and Ellie is bad despite abby trying to kill every main character.

Показывают что насилие это вовсе не выход и свои проблемы этим не решить. Говорить про сюжет и разбирать его можно долго.

    What Joel would have wanted?
    Lmfao damn you’re dumb
    Even Ellie herself told Tommy that “If it was one of us,Joel would have been midway through Seattle”
    Joel would have never forgave Abby for killing ellie,Tf you talking about
    The story is absolute bs
    A lot of things don’t make sense at all
    Joel and Tommy trust a whole ass gang and enter their lodge just like that? (keep in mind Joel didn’t trust ellie when they first met lol) a gang that is out near Jackson for absolutely no reason you trust them with your names and where you live,Wow Ellie’s story is so similar to top Characters Kratos and John Wick
    And guess what?These 2 never stopped till they got revenge.
    Did they know there were consequences?
    Yes they did
    Did they still take the revenge road?
    Absolutely and they have nothing to regret
    The game is about Forgiveness?? Lmao
    Then why did the character who forgave loses everything while the other who got revenge got away and will probably live happily ever after with lev and the fireflies while Ellie Lost Joel,Tommy,Jesse,Dina & JJ,Her finger and the ability to play the guitar which was the only thing left from Joel btw and pretty much herself
    Yeah exactly poor writing.
    You know,Those 3 characters had their enemy between their hands.
    Let’s see what each did
    Kratos:Beat the **** out of his “FATHER” till he died
    John Wick:Shot the dude who Killed his “PUPPY” instantly Ellie:AbBy i’Ll lEt YoU gO ._.
    This story is so bad lmao
    Notice how I said “Father” and “puppy”?
    Cause if Kratos was not willing to forgive his father and John couldn’t let go of a Puppy then Ellie surely shouldn’t have let Abby live.
    And you guys notice how all Males die (Expect Tommy who gets paralyzed) I just found that interesting And the story doesn’t make sense at all when you think about Our mentality (as humans)
    Pretty sure most of us would kill the hell out of Abby if we were Ellie,Cause if someone kills someone close to me and I have him/her between my mercy,I would torture them to death.
    And that’s why this game sucks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La jugabilidad es aceptable (se podría mejorar), los gráficos están geniales (sobre todo en la parte donde es mundo abierto), pero la historia esta horrible y el cambiar de personaje a la mitad del juego para iniciar desde cero con un personaje que no quieres es aun peor, quisieron dar a entender que la venganza es mala, con una pésima historia.
    Ahora resulta que Ellie después de matar desde los 14 años, le afecta agarrar a golpes a una persona y termina casi traumada.
    Por alguna razón quieren que sientas empatia por Abby, una persona que toda su vida vivió con la idea de vengar a su padre y matar a Joel, todo gira en su al rededor en esa idea y al final lo consigue, el problema es que después de eso la quieren poner como alguien que protege y ayuda a la gente.
    Ellie lo pierde todo, incluso lo único que le unía a Joel después de muerto (poder tocar la guitarra), pero Abby si se va feliz con su nuevo hermano adoptado y perdonada por todo lo que hizo.
    La historia no tiene sentido, esta demasiado forzada, el volver al pasado para jugar cosas que no tienen relevancia sobre la historia es una perdida de tiempo, en el final no entiendo porque libera a Abby, debió solo matarla de un tiro, la pelea es lamentable en todos los sentidos y mas porque no muere nadie, en ese momento si hubieran muerto ambas creo que toda la historia hubiera tenido el sentido de "la venganza es mala", pero no, ahora tienes que vivir con la idea de que todo el juego es una mierda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even after a couple of weeks of going over this in my head it’s still hard to know where to start.

    The biggest issue here is that this game is the much anticipated sequel to The Last of Us, which was a great game with an engrossing story. The major talking point here, and why this game is so polarizing, is the story itself.

    Frankly, the story is a mess and my biggest problem is the continuity of it. The games story suffers greatly from a case of too many ideas, all trying to be be crammed in to to one encompassing volume. We expect some level of flashbacks in the story as per in the first game, but the constant switching and changing up of viewpoints is downright Tarantinoesque.

    I don’t expect this could have been fixed simply by making the whole sequence linear, that's too simplistic, and there are points to be made of events happening in parallel that makes the storytelling difficult from a single perspective, if not impossible.

    However, this greatly detracts from the continuity, and I never got the sense of engrossing story I did from the first game, the disjointed nature of the storytelling made it a chore to follow events to a conclusion. And when we get to the conclusion its such a jumbled mess it makes you wonder if the 30+ hours you’ve put in were worth it.

    It seems that Neil Druckmann had the concept of where the story wanted to go, as a parable of vengeance, but made it so contrived that the execution of seems to have been extremely poorly managed. Whether it was the high expectations set by the first game, or he simply wilted under the pressure to resolve character arcs that were always going to difficult to manage. (You wonder how the death of a key character such as Joel could have been handled so clumsily.)

    There have been some controversy about the characters, but personally, I could not care less about the sexuality, gender or musculature of the main characters. Just make them engrossing and fit in to the story without awkwardly and randomly lurching from one event to the next, breaking any sense of immersion.

    There are other negatives, such as some of the combat sequences, when the controls and jagged camera angles can make for some frustrating gameplay, which can also get repetitive. But these are minor compared to the storytelling debacle.

    As for the positives, the level design and environment are great and visually stunning. You can tell a lot of effort has been put in to this and the small details, for example the way water runs off objects and pools, are incredible. As a stand alone game it may have been enough to make it good, even great.

    So in conclusion, the damage has been done, it’s out there now. Maybe they can salvage something from it, but it will stay with me for a while as a major disappointment – for not being able to live up to the expectations as a worthy sequel to the much loved first game in the series.

Joel have survive this long in part 1 to know not to trust anyone but the devs have to take side with LGBT and the down syndrome side of the world to try to make their game "special" guess what you're all failures and the game does not deserve to even exist. What did you think would happen by making Joel die by the hand of SJW? The storyline sucks the choices that the main character makes is not the brightest who the f* came up with this story plot??

Playing as Abby made me grow impatient because I simply could not for the life of me like her. She is not Ellie or Joel, I simply don't care for her. Don't get me wrong - the graphics are phenomenal, gameplay is fun (although nothing has really changed since the 1st game) - but my god, the plot is just so.. meh. 7 years for this? ugh. Expand

    Поставил ноль, никакого хейта в сторону всяких там меньшинств. Сюжет был для меня главнее всего, графика, мир, новые персонажи, даже оценивать это не хочу. Почему? Все просто. Сюжет игры - месть это плохо. Круто, классно, не зря ждал, спасибо.Поставил ноль, никакого хейта в сторону всяких там меньшинств.

    Первая часть заставляла переживать и любить героев в отличии от второй части, где на протяжении всей игры просто идёт кровавая месть и драки, убийство за убийством , сюжет притянутый за уши напрочь портит персонажей и заставляет ненавидеть их всех за их поступки, ужасное начало из за убийства джоела, после чего начинают нам показывать воспоминания о нем, зачем ? Я должен ощущать тоску и скорбь, как после убийства ЛИ в ходячих мертвецах, а вы сделали из этого всего грустное посмешище, где ужасный финал и ужасное начало, которые не приводит к логичному сценарию и развязке

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Добрый день.
    Хотелось бы сказать пару слов об игре. Прошел игру на своей ps4.Начну с минусов.

    Просмотрев многие видеообзоры на YouTube я сделал для себя определенные выводы.Почти все проплаченные ютуб блогеры говорят, что ЛГБТ повестки, неравенства - нет.Да? Серьезно? Во-первых мы всю игру играем за женщин и нам не дают играть за персонажа мужского пола.Во-вторых в некоторых местах в игре мелькают флаги ЛГБТ. Мне как здравомыслящему человеку все равно по сути какой у тебя цвет кожи,какая религия у тебя, педик ты или нет, НО и д и т е н а х у й со своим равенством. Все должно быть в меру. Разработчики игры сделать, к сожалению, этого не смогли. Банальный пример, когда в первой части Одни из нас Джоел убивает отца Ебби, то он бляха муха - афроамериканец. Во второй же части он белый. Скорее всего, разработчики сделали это потому что началась волна протестов в Америке после убийства полицейскими афроамериканца и решили поддержать бедных темнокожих. Да с р а л Я на них.Прогнулись под современный мир, а про чувства фанатов просто забыли. Браво Naughty Dog!!!

    Еще один очень неприятный момент связан с обманом игроков. В одном из трейлере нам показали момент, где Джоэл спасает Элли от бандитов. После чего Элли спрашивает его: Что ты тут делаешь ? В итоге, в игре нас спасает Джесси. Они специально пошли на этот ход, для того чтобы внушить игрокам, что якобы в игре Элли будет работать в паре с Джоэлем. Второй раз браво Naughty Dog, Вы обманули своих игроков, для того чтобы люди поверили, что они смогут опять также классно играть вместе со своими любимыми персонажами.Деньги ведь лучше, чем признание и любовь к игре от игроков.

    Концовка мне понравилась в принципе. Разрабы добавили слишком много новых персонажей и не смогли их рассказать по нормальному. Моя оценка сюжету - 5.5. Ну крч, сюжет не оправдал моих ожиданий. Расстроило больше всего.

    Плюсы:
    Графон, музыка, flash back-и , звуки в игре все на классном уровне.

    Спасибо за внимание.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's only one thing that really hinders this game. The story. Everything else is excellent. The voice acting, the graphics, just the over all execution of the technical side is pretty great. I am a big fan of the first game, and i liked the simplicity of the crafting. The stealth left some to be desired but I never looked at it as a straight stealth game.

    The story is.. Its just ham handed in how they try to get you to care even an ounce about the characters from the outside perspective. These characters literally come into your home in the beginning and bludgeon you're beloved character to death. While i sincerely believe their reasons why they did it, as a fan of the first game and the main characters I simply wanted one thing and that was to kill those people (in game duh). I wanted nothing to do with them but for them to suffer and be scared I was coming for them. This is not what we got. We play as them and the game gives us all these nice and caring perspectives and all the reason why they think we should like the character Abbey but really. I couldn't care less about her and her journey. I wanted nothing to do with her or her friends. I loathed the entirety of her side of the game play. I do not know what drove the writers/creators to go this route but I just can't wrap my head around why they did it. Why did they think this was a good move?

    Since this is a story game and the whole gameplay is built around the story, we can say for sure that this is a failure. The narrative is poorly structured. The motivation of some of the characters looks contrived and inadequate as well as their actions. At the end of the game, you have a feeling of wasted time. The gameplay has not changed since part 1. He got better, but nothing more.

    What a pity.
    The graphics is perfect, gameplay is good in general. The storytelling, however, is very confusing. The plotline gives you a very bad first impression on one of the protagonists and assumes you will understand her feelings later. It is a very bold and arrogant approach that can easily piss off the players. No rational writer should do something like this because human is more

No rational writer should do something like this because human is more emotional than logical in most scenarios, especially when playing game as entertainment.
    In addition to the ill-organized plotline, the game makes very blatant depiction of excessive violence that I do not believe is necessary. Some of the scenes could be very disturbing, to the extent of "grotesque". Though it is justified by the restricted rating, I would not recommend something as violent as this to anyone I care about.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Normally, I do not write reviews but this game was a huge disappointment and is probably one of the most overrate games of all time. The Last of Us 1 was not great because of its gameplay. No, it was all about its great story. And I also expected a great story from part 2. But the story in part 2 is pretty bad. Almost no character development, many plot holes and the timeline of the story is inaccurate. In fact, the game is almost too long. You have too many characters and the game is split into two parts whereas you play another character in the second part. And the final chapter of the game seems to be incomplete which makes it basically needless. In the first game, the story was only focused on the relationship between Joel and Ellie and its development. And as already mentioned, in this game are too many characters involved which makes the story overloaded. There aren't even any improvements of the gameplay. And for a game that takes place after a zombie apocalypse, there are not so many encounters with zombies except for the first few hours. Mostly, you have encounters against hordes of humans which can be annoying. The graphics are nice, but not the best on the PS4. God of War has better graphics. The most controversial about this game are the SJW elements. Nobody had any problems with Ellie but if the old, white man Joel has to be killed to get more diversity is a disgrace for every fan of the first title. ND denied to follow a political agenda, but the developers clearly made some statements before the release and keep doing it on Twitter. Most people have no problems with a female or a whatever character. No, most people gave a negative rating because of Joel's death and this awful story. It is unbelievable that Metacritic deleted some negative reviews. Most negative reviews are pretty detailed compared to the positive ones which are superficial. And if you are interest in a game that should be frightening and also be about zombies: better buy Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil 2. 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]
