    I was never so disappointed with a game as I am with The Last of Us Part ii. The game falls flat on the face in the story department and as the story is what the game is all about therefore I don't recommend it to anyone who cares about characters! The waste of money in comparison to the first part.

Поделюсь трезвыми впечатлениями, пока они свежее. Знаете, хочу сказать что игра мне понравилась, не смотря на те глупости что были в игре. Сюжет... Знаете, всё таки я им почти удовлетворён, как то пусто на душе сейчас. Я понял почему игру так возненавидели, но знаете, иногда и заслуженно в некоторых моментах, а иногда нет. Слеза не упала ни разу, да и не падала никогда при прохождении игр. Стоп, сейчас давайте без спойлеров, пожалуйста, я уверен что ей ещё есть где упасть. Хочется сказать огромное спасибо всем художникам, аниматорам, звуковикам, примите мои соболезнования, я понимаю как это, сам разработчик. Они проделали огромную и тяжёлую работу, на твёрдую десятку, с учётом железа для которого они всё это делали. Игра далеко не шедевр, и далеко не самая плохая, она не заслуживает ни 10 ни 3 бала. Если спросите сколько бы я ей поставил... Лично я бы поставил 8 балов, не знаю справедливо ли это, так как понимаю какие бурления вызвала эта игра в сообществе игроков. Я сам считал эту игру таким говнищем когда посмотрев некоторые моменты игры, и посмотрев многие видео на эту тему, прочитав многие мнения в интернете. Я собирался смотреть прохождение чтобы покекать с глупостей и побомбить, но словил себя на мысли, что всё не так уж и плохо как может показаться на первый взгляд.… Expand

    I cannot recommend this game enough. Furthermore, I imagine the negative review spamming for this game comes from a large community of neckbeards who are unable to cope with their narrow view of the world. Their fragile egos were shattered by the creative direction this game went, rather than it sticking to their myopic expectations. Cheers!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally finished this game and I must say that this is one of the best game I've ever played. The game is so dark and brutal which is why this is one of my favorite game now. It's sad to see so many 1 ratings and most of these people have problems with how a character look physically and that their favorite character Joel dies. I loved Joel, he was my favorite character too but characters die that's how some stories are written and that's what make a story good and I think writers made the right decision to kill Joel the way it happened. Abby's character had great character development. Seriously can't understand people giving this 1 rating. This is a story about revenge and forgiveness, maybe put aside your personal problems with how a character look and how they should look or character orientation and maybe then you'll see how great the storytelling is and the message behind the story.
    The gameplay is satisfying and graphics were unbelievable. The level of detail in every single scene is on the next level. I just stared at the environment in every scene I entered. I think this is the best post apocalyptic world I have ever seen, better than the zombie movies.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ellie and joel are completely out of character, naughty dog false advertised us in their s*tty trailers, selling this game off as an adventure of joel and ellie, while joel gets killed off at the very beginning of the game.
    Naughty dog literaly abused joel to bait us, to suck our money out our pockets, cause they knew nobody wouldve bought the game if we, the audience, the fanbase knew ,the game was about emo- ellie and gorilla-abby. Also they made him dump and naive af, because they didnt come up with any better ideas of creating a plot. none of the characters choices made any sense and the ending also makes no sense at all, this is abuse and violation to the name of the last of us.
    i dont even wanna give one single point to the graphics or the gameplay because after the story and the characters got raped like that, neither the graphics or the gameplay make any difference at this point    … Expand

    I steadily finished the game at 27 hours. I need to make a remark here: I am not against LGBT nor do I particularly adore it. We are all people, aren't we? What I do not like is when instead of telling a story people try to attach some agenda to it and make it look like it was always there. In other words when it is not sincere. Now back to the game.
    First thing that you notice is the    I steadily finished the game at 27 hours. I need to make a remark here: I am not against LGBT nor do I particularly adore it. We are all people, aren't we? What I do not like is when instead of telling a story people try to attach some agenda to it and make it look like it was always there. In other words when it is not sincere. Now back to the game.
    First thing that you notice is the graphics. It is clearly the best looking game of its generation. I don't need to tell you that at the same time it does not freeze and it does not have loading screens apart from initial one, though it takes a staggering amount of your hard drive.
    Gameplay has evolved since the first game: you can dodge, brawl is more viable than in the first game. YOu can craft more things and instead of scarce manuals you have about 5 skill trees with 5 skills in it. All the skills are passive, but useful. Upgrading weapons looks really neat: all modernizations are visible and character performs them real life style.
    The most controversial thing is game plot. I really tried to avoid spoilers before playthrough and actually managed to do it. Now, when I have finished the game, I have to say, that the plot is mostly good. The scenes are built in a way that you sometimes left hanging and wandering how this situation ends, but plot drives you through many events leading to this, showing you different perspectives before you see its end. It drives you mad, but in a good way, just like in crime novel when you see many interesting events, but still want to get to the end faster to find out what happens. That is definitely a good pacing and the most story complicated and diverse game for Naughty Dog. The bad thing here is that there are many chapters that you go through alone and it makes them somewhat tedious, because there are no dialogues, no inner dialogue, just silence and action/exploration. There is a reason for that, but it still looks like somewhat step back from first game where characters were always chatting about something.
    I felt that the game is somewhat easier on the HARD difficulty, than the first game. Maybe I am just more experienced after beating the first Last of Us. Going back to the LGBT agenda I have to say that it surely does not take the central part of the plot, actually not even near. That is why it saddens me so much to see so many angry reviews where people refer to the game only as a lesbian-agenda-game. It is as if you say that Max Payne is only about f-ng subway. The important part for me is, going back to what I said in the beginning, here relationships are shown in sincere way. which is important for me.
    Mostly I have to show respect to Neil Drukmann for making it a non-compromise second part of a two-part story instead of making a standard sequel, that we see every year in October-November.
    I think, that most people would love the game, that is only if you are open to new experience, though if you want something particular and feel uncomfortable having something differ from what you expect, you might not be interested. Good luck to everyone reading this, hope you have a great day!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The biggest disappointment in my gaming years.
    The Last of Us is one of my favorite games of all time. I really like the games from Naughty Dog so there is no hate towards the company neither Neil Druckmann. BUT! I CAN'T STAND THE FAKE MARKETING YOU DID WITH THIS GAME. That was a low-punch to the fans of the series and should be penalized in some way.
    Story was so forced and unenjoyable. They relayed on cheap "shock factor" moments that became more of a meme at times.
    Gameplay was brutal. But did not innovate that much from the first game, but still! is fun as hell! The graphics and scenery are beautiful! Best I have seen in years.
    Sound design was top notch too.
    The lack of new infected is just sad. I really feel they could have created more of them, but no. We get a couple new ones and a boss. (That boss fight was particularly good)
    Secondary characters are forgettable and you do not get to connect with them at all. The ones coming from the first game do not act like them anymore and that will infuriate you if you are a fan of the 1st game.
    I get that they tried "something different" but in this case it didn't worked at all. It felt more of a chore to start my PS4 and continue with the game.
    It's sad that the characters from the first one are left with nothing. Their character development was thrown into the trash in exchange of the new ones.
    I cannot recommend this game at all if you're a fan of TLOU1. It will be a waste of $60.
    TLOU is a story-driven game. And when the story is that bad, you can't put a good mark on it even if the gameplay/sound design/scenery are incredible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games ever made.
    Really good acting, story and maybe some of the best graphics I 've seen so far.

    I get why a lot of people did not like the ending or the killing of a major character in the beginning of the game. Nevertheless there is no doubt that this is a great game. When I finished it I felt pretty empty inside. One side of me wanted Aby to die and one side of me wanted her to survive. I also felt the same for Ellie. Why should she get to survive after all she has done to so many good people?
    I think it was the ending that the game needed but maybe not the one I really wanted. I don't really know.
    The above feelings is exactly why this game is so amazing. It makes you feel stuff for the antagonist, it makes you question your own loyalty to the protagonist and it makes you question revenge, even if the end feels like you just saw a Lanthimos movie and your heart is about to fall in the darkest place ever.
    This is not a classic Denzel Washington movie and should never be one, where revenge is a dish served cold. It is freaking warm and you can feel how much revenge is about doing bad things no matter how much you need it.

    I feel that the bad user score this game has got is because of the lack of objectiveness in the gamer community or maybe in the world in general. Maybe that was the point of Naughty Dog's game from the beginning: to play on the objectiveness of people.

    To conclude I think this is a must play game.
    You will either love it or hate it or feel empty inside, just like me.    … Expand
