    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра просто слабая. В ней слабый тривиальный сюжет. Часть персонажей есть постольку по сколько. Боевая система абсолютно не изменилась. Игра вообще не развивается. Она просто топчется на месте. Ну разве только графика поднялась. Хотя в игре много статике. Не все можно разбить. Точнее сказать почти не чего разбить нельзя. Но есть вазы или флаги которые можно разбить или сжечь. Игра напичкана клеше. Вы видите грузовик под которым можно пролезть наверно кто-то нападет когда из него влезете. Прислушиваетесь некого нет. Пролазите под ним и баз на вас нападает зомби. Как неожиданно. И таких моментов море. Разработчики просто не умеют делать стримеры поэтому вы будете зевать и смеяться над их попытками. В одном моменте мне так все надоело, что я шел просто и стрелял во всех зомборей. Играл я кстати на среднем. И когда всех убил я начал ходить и лутать локацию. Когда все обыскал я пошел к сюжетной двери, которая открывалась очень медленно и в друг, когда я ее начал открывать на меня полетели зомбори накал страстей, съедят или нет вырвусь или нет. Думаете я так себя чувствовал? Нет я думал какого они полезли, когда начал открывать дверь а не когда я тут гранаты кидал и из дробаша стрелял. Или, по-вашему открывающаяся дверь громче оружия и гранат? В игре кстати рандомно лут. Что неимоверно бесит. Я пользовался револьвером, а пистолет не тратил. Так вот мне падали патроны только на пистолет который и так под завязку. Вы скажете, но у Эли сумка за спиной не ужели она не может взять хотя бы на один патрон по больше. Нет. Игра искусственно создает ощущение отсутствия патрон. И это сильно бесит. Например, встречаете врагов они в вас стреляют как будто у них тонна патрон. И они не кончаются. Вы такие ага и загружаетесь с контрольной точки и убиваете их по одном тихо и незаметно. И у них вдруг не одного патрона нет. Почему? А потому что надо создать ощущение безысходности и отсутствие боеприпасов. А сюжет — это вообще. Вы убили 200 человек. А Эли где-то в середине жалуется, что она видишь пытала девушку что бы получить информацию. Которая той еще мразью была. Да мне побоку. Любому было бы побоку. Она же чуть тебя не грохнула. Была бы она удачливей она бы тебя забила и еще бы радовалась этому. Кто так сюжет то строит? Сюжет так же создает тонну вопросов. Например, в игре говориться только один врач мог сделать вакцину и его убил Джоил. Это вы видели еще в первой части, если играли конечно. А почему только он? Или это он создал вирус? В первой части говорится что это цикады. И вроде бы тогда все сходится. НО нет. Тогда зачем они пытались вакцину сделать? Карты большие, но пустые и скучные. Делать там вообще нечего. Много припасов вам не дают собрать. А больше там и делать то нечего. . Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite what everyone says about the game, I genuinely believe that this game is yet another masterpiece from Naughty Dog. This game really forces its audience to do things they don't want to; it forces them to think and ponder some extremely big philosophical questions truly. Yet, like any game, this one is not perfect.

    GAMEPLAY: The Last of Us gave the world a revolutionized gameplay, and this game expands on that gameplay. A significant aspect of the gameplay that caught my eye was the smoothness of it all; the game did not feel clunky or stiff, much like the first one was. As well as that, they added a sort of skill tree system where to get the next perk; you have to buy the one right before it. Unlike most skill trees, this game is really more of a skill column, which did take me a while to get used to, but it grew on me. Now for one of the controversial topics, the gameplay section of Abby. Depending on how you play, this section takes roughly ten hours. This section of the game really makes or breaks the game for a lot of people, the combat becomes slower just because Abby is a more heavyset woman than Ellie. In terms of gameplay, it doesn't change much more.

    STORY: The story is really what turns everyone away from this game. Neil Druckman (the director) definitely expected there to be a lot of backlash and hate for the product he and thousands of other created. It wasn't fan service and believe it or not that angered so many people, hence why the user score is so low. The number one thing people had an issue with is how they killed off Joel, I'll admit it it is a really tough plot point, but this is the story that is created, it is sad but what is wrong with it? Characters die, especially in a world like this, in fact, I appreciate that they killed Joel because they went for a challenging story that would test anyone who played. After Joel is killed the story continues with Ellie going to Seattle with Dina (Ellie's partner). This area of the game is filled with a lot of small beautiful moments surrounded by an overwhelming atmosphere of anger and dread, this continues until you get to Abby's section of the game. By this point, you know that Abby is the one who killed Joel so rightfully no one really wants to play as Abby. While this may be the case for many, I implore whoever reads this to just continue with an open mind. Abby is a beautiful character with a life very similar to Ellie's. Joel did a lot of bad things to Abby and her world around her, things that would make anyone go mad with anger and revenge. This section is so vital to the game and I believe is what really makes it the masterpiece that it is. There are some aspects of the story I would change but they are not major plot issues, I just would've loved more from Ellie and the new people in her life.

    All I have to say about the graphics is that they are fantastic, I have zero complaints.

    Overall I'd give the gameplay a 10/10 and the story an 8/10. This game is now one of my favorites of all time and I will never regret the money nor time i Have spent on this game. I am a very proud fan of this series and the messages that come with it.

    The game is top, and it has a bad rating due to the fact that many did not like the ending, because it is very touching, because of this, and the whole Haight in its direction and in the direction of the game developers.

The way story, writing, acting, game play and setting are carefully interwoven to increase the effectiveness and impact of all the single constituent parts is exhilarating.

    This is a tale, an experience, that will haunt you for days and nights, long after you've put down the controller. These people will stay with you, find a place into your heart, and they will force you to reflect upon yourself as well as their actions.

    Everyone deserves the boon of being able to experience this piece of art first-hand and unspoiled. Utterly amazing.

    One of the most deep experiences I've ever had considering every single type of media (cinema, literature, and everything else).

    I was deeply affected by the story and never ever thought that a video game would ever reach that level of emotional intensity. It's bitter and one of the saddest things i've seen in my life.

    This game isn't just for adults. It's for mature people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played through the game twice at this point just to have a good opinion and to give the best review possible. This game gains a lot of controversy and now I understand why. It is not a 10/10 game as the reviewers say, but it is not a 5.6 or a 0 as the users rate it either. The game is definitely flawed and is not as perfect as the first one was. As both a naughty dog and the last of us fan, I waited for very long to play this game. I wanted to see out the story and the perfect cliffhanger the first one ended with. But sadly, by the end I was left confused and frankly not satisfied with the story or the characters.

    It has positives, with which Im gonna start. The gameplay is fantastic. Even though they only added proning, dodging and jumping to the game, it gives the already great gameplay the first one had even more depth and options to have fun with. I found the mechanics great and the weapons good as well. The game is its best when played on survival difficulty since it forces you to use all available resources in any given situation. The graphics are also amazing and breathtaking, the environments and the action sequences are great as you might expect from naughty dog. the sound design is one of the best I have ever been exposed to. Playing this with good quality headset will enhance the experience greatly. And as you might expect from a naughty dog game, it involves and uses your emotions very well.

    But I do regret to say this game has very low lows. The characters and the story are very poor compared to any previous naughty dog game. It felt as though they crumbled by the pressure of the greatness they achieved with the first game. For me, playing half the game as Abby was a huge disappointment. I did not care for her. I did not want to play as the person who killed the character I loved so much from the first game. I found myself rushing through the parts where I had to play as her, both because I thought they werent gonna be as long or as relevant. I did not had any interest at all about who she was, who she liked and disliked and what her background is. I did find some value in understanding what her motivations were for killing Joel, but that did not justify me playing so much as her.

    I bought this game to play as Ellie. It is as simple as that. I wanted to see out her story, I wanted to understand how everything affected her. And even though the game has a very clear message that the past will haunt you, that revange is not always good, and that this girl that you loved lost her innocence, It felt as though they almost completely destroyed all the flawless character development they achieved in the first game. I repeat, I wanted to play as Ellie, and halfway through the game I found out that I would not play as her as much as I wanted to.

    This brings me to how much the writting and the gameplay favored Abby. She gets some of the coolest action sequences and some of the most relevant moments of the story. But the thing is I did not care about her at all. It just felt as grinding for me, just to come back to where the story involves Ellie again. Then, Im left with me still playing as Abby getting to almost kill Ellie even though I did not want to. I found myself letting Abby be killed by Ellie just to get the satisfaction, but the game didnt give me that choice. It just pulled me back to do what I was suppossed to be doing.

    Naughty dog is an expert in story driven games. But this game is too story driven for its own good. It tells the story they want to tell. It doesnt give you any choice in whatever happens in the story, and that is not always bad, but when you were so emotionally invested from playing the first game, it just feels like they are manipulating you into completing the story they want to.

    Overall the game is pretty damn good and it achieves a lot. It is deffinitely one of the best games i played this generation on the ps4, but I was very dissapointed with how it turned out story wise. The characters deserved better, Joel and Ellie deserved better. I did not care for Abby, for anyone she loved, and for anyone she met. It felt as if all the characters in her side of the story were just shoved in there and they expected you to like and undesrtand them. But I didnt, and I doubt anyone did. I played The last of Us and I cared for Joel and Ellie because of that. The sections of the game that have joel and Ellie are some of the best, but they are so few and far between that the game just ruins them.

    So.. I give this game an 8 because I am a naughty dog fan and a The last of us fan,but if I was not i Could have given it a 7 or lower. Gameplay is good, graphics and audio are good, but story, progression and characters are poor, especially after all the hype and expectation the first game caused.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People giving this game a 0 are just as bad as people giving this game a 10.

    Yes, the story is awful. They layer tropes within tropes, with my favorite example being the child who runs away from the cult because they are being forced into a marriage with an older man... but don't want to because they are... transgendered? I am all for equality and consider myself somewhat of a social justice warrior IRL, but this just feels like they had a story put together and then decided to inject hot-button social issues into every plot point where they could fit them. The problem though is that even if the story didn't include the SJW overload, it would still be a mediocre story with an unsatisfying ending.

    At the end of the day though, the fact is that this game is a masterpiece in level design, gameplay and graphics. If you could skip all cut-scenes and just have an adventure in post-apocalyptic Seattle hunting down bad guys and zombies while scrambling for scant supplies, the game would stand among one of the best games of the year.

I do understand why ppl don’t like the game or the story bc while playing it I wasn’t sure about it either but the thing is I actually understood it. The game that u play makes u feel so much emotions that other games wouldn’t and it worked apparently since so many ppl hate the game. While playing it I felt sad, angry, happy, scared, confused and more. I remember I hated Abby so much and I didn’t want to play as her but I’ve actually grown to like her. She did grow as a character, she became a better person. Lev and yara made her better. At the end I was disappointed in Ellie for leaving her family just to get revenge on someone. And when she was fighting Abby I’m so glad she didn’t kill her bc she still has her humanity. At the end Ellie lost everything bc she was driven by revenge, and I think Abby grew more as a person than Ellie bc she learned how to let go. I love Ellie and I’ve actually grown to like Abby. I rated the game as a 10 bc the story is so good and it made me feel so many things that not even other games could do. The gameplay was also amazing and the graphics too. This has to be like my favorite game of all time. I just hope everyone can stop calling the game bad and understand it bc it is a masterpiece just like the first one. Expand

    The Last of Us Part 2 is the best example of successful and correct sequel. TLOU 2 doesn't use the formula of original game, Naughty Dog has created absolutely new game, which offer different emotions, feelings and experience.
    The thing which a lot of people hate is the plot and I understand why, but I don't support them, because I didn't wait the same story about relationships between Joel and Ellie as in the original game. The first twist maked me cry but not hate game only because of the death of great character. The story of TLOU 2 is very complicated and deep. If you want to feel this game fully, you should play on your own from the beggining to the end and without getting spoilers. It's sad that some people don't give this game the chance after the first twist. I really wish more people could feel this game as I feel. Moreover, I was suffering from depression for some days after I had finished game.
    This game is not only about redemption. It’s about self-hate. Ellie hates herself because she feel her guilt over her attitude toward her close person. The self-hate became hate to all world. Also, ND shows the path of degradation and evolution of the antagonist and protagonist and It’s amazing. It allows players to feel characters fully. I mean that how ND make the story about redemption is very creative and exciting. All I want to say that you can hate some events of the story, but you can’t deny its greatness.
    Gameplay is ideal, but there is no a lot of new features. ND didn’t create something new and incredible. Anyway, the gameplay is interesting and, what I like very very much, cinematic. Playing tlou 2 is like watching film due to amazing animations. I believe that games must be aimed at cinematic gameplay.
    And, of course, ND’s insane details which cost a lot of crunches, energy and nerves for developers.
    In conclusion, I would like to say again that The Last of Us Part 2 is the game which gamers can be proud of. Naughty Dog risked very much creating this plot, but, in my opinion, the result was amazing. Thank you, Naughty Dog for this experience. I am looking forward for TLOU 3 and new IP.

Так что надеюсь увидеть её в 3 части)

    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.
