    ***SPOILERS DO COMEÇO DO JOGO***

    A maioria das análises falando bem do roteiro do game não leva em consideração o marketing com propaganda falsa e o "Parte 2" no nome "The Last of Us". Se muita gente está reclamando do jogo porque não tem nada a ver com o primeiro isso é única e exclusivamente culpa da Naughty Dog e dos roteiristas, não das pessoas que supostamente "não entenderam o    ***SPOILERS DO COMEÇO DO JOGO***

    A maioria das análises falando bem do roteiro do game não leva em consideração o marketing com propaganda falsa e o "Parte 2" no nome "The Last of Us". Se muita gente está reclamando do jogo porque não tem nada a ver com o primeiro isso é única e exclusivamente culpa da Naughty Dog e dos roteiristas, não das pessoas que supostamente "não entenderam o propósito do jogo".

    TLOU1 é o jogo favorito de MUITA gente que esperou 7 anos pra jogar a continuação, é compreensível que estejam putos. O Joel morre precocemente em uma cena MUITO forçada (que joga no lixo uma das principais características dele, desconfiar de tudo e todos), e depois você é obrigado a jogar METADE do jogo inteiro com a assassina dele que tem 0 carisma e nem sequer apareceu nos trailers, esses mesmos trailers que baitam na cara dura que o Joel teria alguma participação na história, onde acharam que isso daria certo?.

    O jogo foi vendido como se a Ellie fosse a protagonista, todos os gameplays eram com ela e a Naughty Dog nunca mencionou que você jogaria 50% do jogo com outra personagem que nunca foi introduzida antes; e qual é o problema?, bom, a grande maioria das pessoas ignoram spoilers, gameplays e vazamentos antes de comprar o jogo, então muita gente se arrependeu de ter gastado 260 REAIS quando viu que era completamente diferente dos trailers. Propaganda falsa? Nah.

    E eu nem citei o casal Ellie Dina, que parece que existe só pra Ellie ser lésbica. Elas já começam o jogo se gostando e isso faz com que o relacionamento delas seja totalmente whatever, zero química e zero construção de personagem.
    ---"Ah, então você não quer lésbicas em jogos né? homofóbico incel".
    A DLC de The Last "Left Behind" tem a Ellie se revelando lésbica ao beijar a amiga dela, isso fez total sentido dentro da história e teve uma construção bem feita pra acontecer. Eu fiquei surpreso positivamente quando aconteceu e achei que o casal teve muita química, adoraria que desse pra elas continuarem juntas.
    Muita gente pensa o mesmo, veja a reação positiva do Pewdiepie ao beijo do Left Behind e veja como ele ficou totalmente indiferente à todas as cenas com a Dina em TLOU2. Tem a ver com roteiro mal escrito e relacionamentos colocados apenas com o propósito de agradar um grupo ao envés de agregar na história, não com preconceito.

    Eu daria um 8/10 pro roteiro de TLOU2 se fosse apenas uma fanfic, eu diria que é relativamente bem escrito, a ideia de "vingança" é algo que se distancia muito da história do primeiro jogo e se mostra algo muito raso como fator principal da premissa, mas funcionaria em uma fanfic, que quase sempre tem como ideia principal fornecer algo diferente pra quem está lendo sem manter um devido padrão de qualidade e congruência com a história original, afinal, é feito por fãs, e não escritores profissionais. O problema é que TLOU2 não é uma fanfic e tão pouco uma obra independente de outra, é a "Parte 2" de um jogo que definiu uma geração e é considerado umas das maiores obras primas nos videogames, então essas incongruências e problemas de roteiro em relação ao primeiro jogo não podem ser ignorados e a história não deve ser analisada como algo singular.

    Concluindo, mesmo com todos esses defeitos é bem possível que você goste do jogo se você se interessar pela Abby, mas, caso isso não aconteça, você vai jogar metade do jogo sem vontade pra ser recompensado com um final horrível e broxante (O final ser ruim/medíocre é um dos poucos consensos entre quem gostou e quem não gostou do jogo). Repetindo, é um personagem que nem apareceu nos TRAILERS.
    The Last of Us 2 poderia ter entrado na lista de melhores jogos de todos os tempos ao lado de TLOU1 se a intenção dos roteiristas fosse apenas fazer uma ótima continuação que agradasse à todos, mas eles foram arriscados, desde o início sabiam que muita gente iria odiar (o vazamento de um ex-funcionário revoltado e a saída de 70% da equipe de desenvolvimento da Naughty Dog provam isso), eles insistiram no erro porque queriam "quebrar barreiras" e tirar o jogador da tal zona de conforto, afinal, dane-se quem se decepcionar com o jogo, são só preconceituosos ou gente que não se deu ao trabalho de entender o propósito da história, certo?.    … Expand

    從刻意的劇情操作中明顯感覺到開發者的惡意以及對於第一版的厭惡，遊戲性當然一如既往地好，但是錯誤的劇情編排以及冗長且無法讓人同感的劇情設定使得遊戲性大大打了折扣，若要說遊戲是否帶來了甚麼反思或是教育意義我想真的是有待商榷。
    本次的遊戲系統有了更進一步的創新，以往一代有許多令人驚喜的操作方式在二代也有類似的創意，畫面上算是中上，如果2代不叫做最後生還者的話會是不錯的遊戲，但令我驚訝的還是一個開發商寧願炸毀自己建立的IP也要宣傳自我的政治理念這件事。 10/10真的是一個笑話。    (in Chinese)

Я не знаю как адекватно оценить эту игру, с технической части хорошая игра , а вот сюжет это даже не понимаю как объяснить эмоции которые испытываю , обида злость отвращение. В своё время я купил ps4 Толко ради 1 части этой игры хотя до этого 7 лет Xbox 360 был и планировал оставаться с майками. Однако поле того как прошёл 1 часть я был просто очарован данной игрой она была на голову выше всего во что я играл до этого , со второй частью же ровно обратные эмоции , очень долго ждал купил запустил начал играть и вот чувствуется что-то не то, дальше спойлеров , Джоэла слили , эли сука , девка ее страшная и мерзкая, многое в игре прям тычет тебе повесточкой, за 30 секунд сцены почти в самом начале игры она мужика оскарбила и обозвала шевенистом, хотя он извинялся и бустеров ей сделал, они все такие сильные и независимые все, второй игровой персонаж не адекватная перекачанная быдлобаба которая может руками череп поломать, смысл игры мне понятен и сюжет понятен и даже почему слили дожила , мне не понятно зачем впихивать столько вот этого всего абсурда в игру ? Я про их повестки , это все мерзко, мне не нравится и противно смотреть на их взаимоотношения и внешние виды персонажей на то что происходит в игре, как пример приведу смотрю сериал сейчас половое воспитание , и там весь сериал это одна большая повестка , но он не мерзки и ты переживаешь абсолютно за все персонажей и их отношение, в Last of Us 2 это все на столько противно что нет слов одни эмоции, и немного рационального взгляда в конце я понимаю что мне визуально не приятно играть в эту игру , но Сама по себе она уже точно не на 5 балов а побольше , однако моя субъективная оценка такова, p.s. Чуть меньше агрессии к мужчинам , симпатичен персонажей , в том числе не такую накаченную женщину , да даже если бы пухленькая была без разнице ну не Шварцнеггер. И даже комент не писал бы.

    Among the advantages can be distinguished:
    - Game is beautiful, the artists and level designers tried.
    - The animations are designed so that the characters interact with some things and the environment in an interesting way.
    - Sometimes fighting the battle is very pleased, as it effectively was made of the situation after injury or killing enemies.

    Disadvantages in my opinion are:
    - Structure of the scenario and its individual moments. I cannot believe in the authenticity of such a world and its heroes and understand that the authors wanted to make analogies in the characters' images. It is very difficult to create a sequel when there was an original before it, which a sufficient number of people already love. The authors had to understand - this is a responsibility and one must very skillfully play on the strings of the players' souls. But this plot and its details show the opposite - it works for fewer people than it could.
    And yes, dialogues. This is terrible ((((I felt the poverty and stinginess of the characters' images. They can push off the heroes in the first hours, and therefore I felt bad from the beginning to the end of the game.
    - Feels like the game should have been with a more open world. The creators were clearly technically unable to do this (or there are other reasons for this). But the predetermined linearity with long history is disappointing. I very often wanted to return to a location nearby in one chapter or another (for example to collect items). But they don't let you do that. For me this is a confirmation in the absence of replayability. It is very difficult to force yourself to replay when I would like to complete achievements. Even after some time - there is no pleasure in it.
    - There is little music. I understand that the authors wanted to emphasize the atmosphere of the environment.
    But the appropriate music is not enough to better connect the player with what he is experiencing. In some areas and moments it would be possible to make vocal trills of stringed instruments - it is depressing without them.
    I could go on, but I am very sorry to write all this. Previously, I was familiar with heavy and dramatic works, from which you can cry, worry, but feel with all your heart - it was not for nothing. TLOU Part2 is not even something close to this.
    The game could be a really wonderful creation, but they decided to make it something else, a way to convey only what you will either fully accept or reject.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest downfall of this game is the Story in my opinion. The problem is, the first game makes it so easy to Love Joel and Ellie as characters, despite Joels questionable actions, so we naturally as players want the best for him after the events of the first game. He finally finds a daughter figure again in Ellie and then he is killed off within a few years. It just doesn't feel like the right sendoff.
    Then we are forced to play as his killer and sympathize with her in a "Revenge is bad" narrative.
    Its just a bleak and depressing game and it makes me regret wanting a sequel.
    I get that Joel is no hero but I do think he deserved better than this. Abby did a lot of horrible stuff also but she gets to live but the main character of the first game doesn't? That is B.S.
    The game also uses cheap tactics to try to make the player like Abby more.

    Pros: AMAZING visuals and landscapes.
    Some good dialogue despite the poor story.
    Great flashback sequences.
    Solid Gameplay

    But for a story driven game, the story being a Miss unfortunately makes the sequel feel not needed and disrespectful to the first games characters.    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II has been a catalyst for vitriol within the gaming community this year, and I'm wanted to give my genuine thoughts on the sequel to one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.

I played through The Last of Us Part I at least 10-15 times in the last 10 years (I'm not kidding). So, is The Last of Us Part II really as bad as everyone says, or is it something else?

    Starting with the story, I am conflicted. After an event drives Ellie out of Jackson, She finds herself on a path of revenge throughout the city of Seattle against multiple factions in this 20-25 hour story. You battle the militant faction known as the "WLF" or "Wolves", as well as a religious faction of zealots known as the "Seraphites" or "Scars". This is the darkest story I've ever experienced and it exhausted me and made me miserable the entire way through, not because it's bad, but because I believe it's very well written. Having said this, I can understand why MANY gamers don't like this game. This is not a happy or joyful experience. No story has ever made me reflect as much as this story has, and I have immense respect for that. This is one of the few games that only require one playthrough to satisfy your desire to play it. Though if you play through this story, I highly suggest you go into and play with an open mind.

    Next, I want to discuss the gameplay. The gameplay is very similar to the previous title with some new additions to mechanics like traversal. You still go around collecting scraps and ammo while crafting gadgets to get yourself through the next combat encounter you'll inevitably find yourself in. This does make the game feel a bit repetitive on new game plus settings. There is a new grappling hook adding additional levels to the game allowing for the player to get to harder to reach spots off the beaten path. They've also added jumping and the ability to go prone which paired with combat feel really good! Sliding between cracks in walls while trying to escape a pursuing enemy dog or disappearing into a bed of reeds trying to regain stealth and gain an advantage on your adversaries feels amazing and rewarding, especially on higher difficulties. Ellie also has her switchblade, allowing an ease on resources like the crafted shiv from the first game. There are also new weapons and gadgets that add to the experience like a pipe bomb or the trap mine (which yes just splits the nail bomb into two separate weapons but adds for a greater need for saving resources). This game is also incredibly well crafted and designed. In my two-plus playthroughs of this game, I ran into no glitches, bugs, or crashes. Everything works so incredibly well and runs smoothly.

    Finally, I want to talk about the visuals. This game looks incredible on the Playstation 4 Pro. The environments are absolutely gorgeous whether you're exploring the overgrown urban environment of Seattle. the snowed-in mountains of Jackson, or a few other areas you'll find yourself in. The lighting and colors of the game are completely jaw dropping. Utilizing things like film grain makes the environments and background environments look extra good. The soundtrack is also the closest thing to perfect you'll find. Gustavo Santaolalla did an amazing job creating the music for this game, though it's hard to decide if it's better than the soundtrack of the first game.

    This game is not what I expected. The story is way too dark, yet still undeniably beautiful. Pairing this with the combat in between areas of story and reflection, it works well. I definitely don't think this game is a 1-2/10, but at the same time, it's definitely not a 10/10.    … Expand

As for the TLOU2, I was looking forward to it for years. Played through it and the story totally ruined it for me. The game is beautiful, the gameplay is fine but the pacing is really weird and ruins the experience, the dialogues are cringy and it has a Hollywoody feel, and not in a good way. There are too many characters with no character depth and the decisions they make are just plain stupid at times. I will play it through one more time just to see what I missed but I can't see myself picking the game up after that ever again. No multiplayer also sucks. If they ever release TLOU3, I won't bother buying it. Now I wish that Naughty Dog had stopped after the first game and just ended the story there.… Expand

    Scores:
    Story: 5/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Graphics: 10/10
    Overall: 7/10

    Pros:
    -One of the best looking games on PS4. Possibly the best
    -Zombies are intense when present
    -The story was at it's best during certain Ellie flashbacks

    Cons:
    -Main story had major issues
    -New characters are largely forgettable
    -Ellie/Abby parallel does not make sense

    Additional Thoughts:
    I think a 7 might even be a generous score, but the graphics are undeniably amazing and there were parts of the story I still enjoyed.

    That said, the main story was a bit of a mess. For the story to be successful, you had to buy into the Ellie/Abby parallel. That analogy did not work in my opinion. Ellie shows that she is generally trying to do the right thing on multiple occasions. I felt that Abby pretty much came off as a psychopath multiple times even during her section of the game. I understand they were trying to create some moral ambiguity, but Abby felt like a definite villain to me.

    Joel's death can only be described as a bizarre choice by Naughty Dog. I suspected it was unlikely he would make it through the game, but to kill him so quickly and literally spit on his body? I cannot understand how anyone thinks that his death was well scripted regardless of his actions at the end of the first game. Can you imagine if this formula was applied to other games? Nathan Drake killed by a random enemy's cousin. Mario killed by a Goomba's grandson. Batman killed by henchman's neighbor. It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous! It didn't have to be an overblown theatrical ending, but what they went with was a bad choice.

    I don't expect a perfectly realistic game since TLOU is a fictional world, but some of the choices characters make/things that happen are so ridiculous it took away from the experience. I will mention some of these at the end of my other points.

    I will also say that those who think Naughty Dog is not pushing their political views into games are kidding themselves. They have been trending this direction over the course of a few games, and I do think it is starting to detract from the experience. I wouldn't say it ruins the game by any stretch, but it is pretty transparent.

    The flashbacks were great. Really captured what made the first game so amazing. I also thought the ending flashback somewhat salvaged an otherwise bad story.

    Story Issues that Jumped Out:
    - Why would a pregnant doctor ever leave the safety of a camp?
    - Scars pretty much only exist to give Abby something to do during her part of the story
    - Why does Nora get to die off screen after she trashes Joel? Additionally, why is Ellie traumatized from killing her when she has killed dozens/hundreds to get there?
    - The doctor from the first game doesn't really resemble Abby's dad that much
    - Abby's backstory is way too short
    - Does WLF really just store all of their dead bodies in a tent inside their camp? Seems like an issue in a number of ways
    - How is Abby possibly fighting back at the end? She was hanging on the post long enough for her fellow prisoners to think she was dead, not to mention Ellie stabs her multiple times
    - Why would anyone fight zombies with their bare hands? Seems like Abby should know better
    - Seems extremely unlikely that Tommy would survive that gunshot wound
    - The fight with the giant Scar was cool, but no way he is fighting after having his face essentially cut in half
    - Ellie struggles to walk after being slightly stabbed by a tree, but Yara gets an arm amputated and is on a mission within a few hours

    Overall, good looking game, story was okay at best. Worth playing to experience the visuals first hand, but nowhere near how great the first game was.    … Expand

I'm rating this game low because the plot of this game and character development is garbage.

They totally ruined that by killing off characters you care about. They make you dislike characters, then play as them.

    This game however isn't even worth the effort to rewrite the whole review. It's painfully mediocre at best. It's a 2/10 story while waving "muh graphics" in your face as if it's some sort of crutch that will save it. The gameplay didn't evolve much either. They just added dogs to the mix so you cant camp for too long and the semi-puzzles of the first game are gone.

    Critics™ unanimously not being "Critics"? Perfectly fine! It will even look better in the catalogue when people browse and only the Critic™ reviews are shown.

    Unjustified 0/10s? Shut it down. Change the system so only Trusted™ access media can give scores for what is probably the most vital time for a game while everyone else has to wait 36 hours after release. That'll fix it! (No it won't you're just angering people more)

    But this game gets a 5/10. It's mediocre as all hell. I was going to rate it 6/10 but everything surrounding the game just makes it worse. Metacritic's is just.. it's. the Pinnacle of how games are just becoming corporatized nonsense with faceless nobodies making decisions and reacting to things they don't understand.    … Expand

Poor storyline ruined this game, killing Joel off is the first of the big mistakes this game made killing off the best character is just **** the entire games story was completely pointless you spend the entire game trying to kill Joel’s killer only to let her go in the end. I didn’t have a problem with the lesbian relationship, but the transgender character is a joke I think that your “gender identity” is the last thing you should be thinking about during a zombie apocalypse there are bigger problems to deal with. The only saving grace of this game was the visuals but the gameplay was the exact same as the first game just adding a few things, if they want to make another game they should make brand new characters and do it from the start of the apocalypse and get a new director telling the haters to **** off, no you **** off games are not about pushing a political agenda.… Expand

The second half of the game just ruined the whole game. So in conclusion, the villain can get away with revenge but not the MC and has to lose everything because they loved Abby more than the two characters that helped make the Last of us such a masterpiece.

Then hen its done tommy comes back and somehow survived a shot to the head. (yes it is possible but I mean come on) He is here to just make Ellie go after Abby because he is still mad even though Ellie moved in (kinda because she still has nightmares but still...) then after almost dying and one hell of a trip she almost drowns her she just lets her go.

The actual gameplay is also really fun if you enjoyed playing the original (which I loved). Despite this, I only forced myself to finish the game out of respect for the previous instalment. New characters, which ND try hard to get you to like, fail to invoke any sort of positive emotion from the player. I got absolutely no enjoyment or satisfaction from the whole second half of this game - especially the ending. Clearly ND was going for something which took us out of our comfort zone. But instead of the story being edgy and divisive, it ended up being poorly told and a disservice to their loyal fans. I actually respect that ND told the story they wanted to tell, instead of the story we all wanted to hear - but then it should not be a surprise when people don’t like it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to be conservative about the game. The Last of Us 2 is an average game at best and a 5 might be generous considering the hype they built up for it. I'm not going to be like other and rate this game a 0 out of 10 due to review bombing. There are till moments I have enjoyed, especially the early parts of the game set in Seattle I am very happy for. Ellie's rendition of "Take on Me" is one of the most visually compelling as well as musically beautiful cover of the song I've heard. Its beautiful and shows the bond between Ellie and her partner as well as her journey and emotions she feel. Also, the guitar moments are quite symbolic, its her remembrance of her father figure.

    To praise the game, they did get the visuals right, The Seattle area was quite well done as hasn't happened before in the game. It is quite refreshing to have a nice open area to explore. Would have been nice of Naughty Dogs to ad more of those areas in the game, but oh well. The facial expressions and emotions shown on the characters are also well done. Its goes to show that ND still cares a lot about a certain level of details for the characters. This is proven in the flashback sequences as well. One of my favorite moments in the game is from Ellie in the space capsule. Its full of childhood wonder and the idea that if civilization does go back to the way thing were, Ellie would like to pursue an Astronomical career. Or something like that. The scene shows that she still has dreams. It was done very well.

    Where the game went wrong are much more substantial in comparison to praise. The main problem of TLoU P2 is easily the pacing of the story. The first game offers a compelling story that feels like a journey and a bonding story between the main characters. The feels and journey just felt right all the way up to the ending, making the first game a masterpiece. In sequel, the story is similar to drinking a bitter coffee in one go and then you are left with just water. While I will praise how Joel's death did have an impact on my initial experience. It was a very sad moment. However, the rest of the journey felt predictable and just like any other revenge plot. I was left feeling like the story was padded out to support this instead of feeling like Ellie is going on a journey to find herself in this desolate world without her father figure. This was not helped by the game cutting out half way through to play as the antagonist Abby. While, I would say its different than the way other games approaches this concept. In this case, the decision was made poorly. To ask the player to play as the "bad guy", even if their back story is great is not the correct course the game should go. After gaming as Ellie for so many hours, just felt wrong to play as Abby, even if Abby has a similar back story as well. Ultimately, I felt dreading the experience and just wanted to soldier on, instead on wanting understand Abby's tale. On another note, Abby's side of the story was way too long compared to Ellie's story. It felt too stretched out and prolonging the inevitable. The inevitable climax was not what I expected either. Again the main problem is pacing. Having 2 "ultimate fights" to add more content in the game felt wrong and demoralizing. I my honest opinion, the game should've ended during the farmhouse segment. Instead, they decided to carry out the revenge plot. My question is why, and I'm left wondering when the game will end. On a gameplay perspective, the game has its moments. But overall, there are not as many wow moments that I'm looking forward to. Only the big Zombie glob Rat King boss fight was heart throbbing. The gameplay felt like the last game, just adding a little more to make it feel refreshing. Another issue that TLoU 2 suffers, are the characters. Compared to the last game, I much more than the main characters. Heck, for that matter, I don't know all that much about the main characters either, besides Ellie and Abby. There are not side content that explores their connection to the main characters, making me not care for them that much. This was done much better in TLoU by way of storytelling.

    Overall, I would give the game a 5 out of 10, even lower is possible due to minor nit picks. The visuals and character models as well as facial expressions technology was well done, making TLoU 2 one of the most visually stunning games on the PS4. However, the game does suffer through a poorly paced story that came to a high point too fast that results in a predictable and stretched out story just to make this game feel like a big experience. I feel that ND dropped the ball heavily and rushed the game due to corporate pressure as well as the leaks that happened to the game before it was launched. They wanted to get the game out while there is still hype. Sadly, That is where I stand with ND. I feel the developer once an incredible legacy fueled by creativity and imaginative team. Those days feel like its over however.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Все хорошо, только сюжет хуйня. Как угодно можете защищать, но мы всю игру знаем что будет. Особенно вторую половину игры (дальше спойлеры), когда за Эбби играем. И полная тупость во всем. Чтобы отомстить Джоэлу Эбби целой командой пришла и убила ровно одного человека. Больше никого не трогали. Элли пошла вдвоем с подружкой и по пути перебила всех, кого можно. Даже уже и не членов Волком, а еще и Шрамов. Просто всех вырезала на пути. Эти фишки с днями и возвращением на базу - геймплей во всех днях и локации по сути одинаковый, только еще большие толпы людей и зомби убиваешь и никакого продвижения по сюжету. От геймплея реально устаешь. Слишком много зомби здоровых и жирных, которых хрен убьешь и тратишь на них все припасы (играл на высоком уровне сложности). Это утомляет. Не сложно, но утомляет. С людьми геймплей приятный, потому что можно хэдшотом всегда убить. Так вот, за Эбби, мало того, что уже знаем, что случится с ней в концу 3го дня, так и тупость сюжетная. Она вдруг начинает повсюду таскать двух шрамов и просто насмерть за них стоит, в конце даже своих мочит, чтобы их спасти. На минутку, в первой части Джоэл две трети игры хотел избавить от Элли (помните, брату хотел сплавить). Вот это было реалистично. А это немотивированное поведение. Дальше, ладно Эбби сгоняла за лекарствами этим Шрамам, так потом, как один из них побежал в свою деревню за мамкой, она побежала за ним, бросив своего "любимого". Хотя и начиналось все с того, что она ушла в самовол, чтобы его найти и убедиться, что он в порядке. В итоге, они нашли этого Шрама, а он только что мамку убил. Хоть вроде как и случайно. Но что происходит??? Бежать к мамке, чтобы толкнуть ее об угол стола??? А сестра такая говорит, не плач, ты же не хотел и просто уходят. И все??? Это же мамка. А, ну да, и в процессе пока Эбби пробиралась к этой убитой мамке, чтобы спасти этих Шрамов, она убила толпу других. Типо они все плохие? Прям проверяла? Ты бы пообщалась, может как и эти приглянулись бы. И вообще, Эбби, ты уж определись, ты теперь спасаешь людей, или убиваешь. Ну дальше она и своих даже стала убивать. На минутку, тех, кто ее спасал не раз, кто ее приютил, как у нее отца убили и все такое. И это чтобы защищать двух шрамов, которых встретила пару дней назад, буквально. Поэтому сюжет полный трэш, какие-то агидки шитые белыми нитками. Геймплей хорош, но местами утомляет. Душный, в общем, местами и не разнообразный. На 30м зомби как-то поднадоедает. А там их добрую сотню за каждую надо убить. Визуально и техническое исполнение лучшее на данный момент. Особенно разные эффекты (кровь, вода, погодные эффекты, ветер даже, я видел как ветер поднял в воздух пакет и гонял его там).Да, геймплейно очень круто последние часа полтора, когда как раз в деревне Шрамов.… Expand

    Agency is constantly taken away from you and the story dishes out some unbelievably frustrating sequences that are ridiculous. Bad enough as a frustrating cutscene but even worse as a sequence where you have to press the buttons, but those button presses are totally pointless as that outcome will still be the same regardless.

    There was a moment where I actually believed it was going to let me craft the outcome decide what the resolution should be, I was genuinely excited I stopped pressing Square thinking maybe that way I could give up and let the world serve me justice, even at the expense of not seeing all the game. But no no don’t be silly you have to play there 30 hours movie, they know best.
    It’s not for you to expect to make some choice that has a consequence, to choose your own path.

    Ellie is the real monster more so than any character across both games. It goes on for far too long with no extra benefit. It has no final message other than the world lets bad people off if they are precious to the writer as the player should have no choice its not like its a game after all.

    Graphics and mechanics are amazing

    But the story, its not well done,
    I like their idea, I like the ending idea but I think the story building throw all the game could be much better, could be more emotional in the way they wanted, they make us to have anger and hate for abby before playing with her, we should know more about her, the "compassion" should be earlier, the game make your first impression on abby to be the evil, a demon, the worst person on the LoU universe, and next try to change your mind, that's really hard to do and they failed on that, first impression is like a tattoo, you cant remove it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All the mainstream claims of user reviews aside, I couldn't even bring myself to finish this game. Had they switched the narrative around, this story may have worked, though I still would be angry at how they marketed this story. But the sloppy way it is put together, who the heck wants to play as Abby after you see what she did in the first few hours?! Who cares why? And the lengths to crap on Ellie and her playthrough, while trying to make Abby's portion better? Oh please. And it's so freaking drawn out.I got to the point I couldn't stand playing anymore, and finally gave in to spoilers. Even after the bait and switch narrative in the advertising campaign, trash tactics BTW. Thankfully I did, because I would have been even more pissed had I played to THAT ending after 7 years! I'll pretend this one didn't happen, and go back and play the first when they obviously cared about the story they were creating for Ellie and Joel.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the last of us part 2 is a great game. With beautifully detailed graphics as expected from a Naughty Dog game. The combat and exploration are amazing as well. But it can be pretty old over time making the experience too easy since the game has a lot of salvage to find and upgrades with ease. The biggest complaint that is on everyone's mind is the story. It is written well but told in the wrong way. Making people play as a random girl at beginning to kill off a fan favorite character isn't always a good way to debut. Especially since that character growth in the first game felt completely pointless since he didn't felt like the character from the first game. Naughty Dog has shown that they are being run by amateurs who are still learning to become incredible again.… Expand

That's one of the things that got me at first; the action and fighting were thrilling, motivated by fear and the desire to live but also, the desire to be able to protect those you love. It had a really mature plot! But in this one all that was turned into just a senseless vendetta; killing unknown people like they are nothing... That's not something I can relate to, and I think completely misunderstands the psychology of a character like Ellie and the narrative of the first game. In my opinion.

    PS: The graphics, software and music are top notch, amazing, sadly in service of a writing that seems to come from an immature, violent and uncreative mind(s).    … Expand

    A great improvement from the first one when it comes to gameplay, doesn’t innovate, but it doesn’t need to, super fun to play. When it comes to narrative and storytelling, it presents us something bold, emotional and rich, a heavy story with many layers. It sticks with you for a while after you finished the game.

    Stunning visuals, great acting and music, ok gameplay. The writing however is a disgrace and the story is an insult to the original game. The writers went for shock value, perhaps due to lack of creativity or fear to produce nothing better than a mediocre continuation to the beloved first game. They ruined both characters of Joel and Ellie and introduced far weaker new characters. AllStunning visuals, great acting and music, ok gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I kept an open mind during the entire game and I still couldn’t accept the storyline. I don’t hate the storyline, but I think if they had presented it differently, I would’ve been more accepting. At first we get to play as this new character (Abby) in less than 1 hour into the gameplay, only to find out she’d kill Joel in the same first hour :)
    So it doesn’t only make you hate Abby, but also yourself for playing this game. At this point most of players would feel so much hate and anger toward Abby and want to kill her. But then half wary through the game, they make you play for 10 hours as Abby to make you understand her character. All I got from that 10 hours is that Abby enjoys killing people and she’s the exact opposite of Ellie. During
    Ellie’s part of gameplay, I loved Dina, but I wished that we got to see more of Tommy. They brought up Jessie which was the most unnecessary character. So in my opinion Tommy and Dina would’ve been more than enough as side characters. The only thing that kept me going was the thought that I would enjoy killing Abby, but that never happens. Leading to the worst ending ever.
    My score on this game is mostly for the graphics and gameplay. It’s a shame that the storyline ruined everything...    … Expand

    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.
