    One way to kill a franchise, kill the hero, spit on his death body, and force the user to play with the killer.

    Просто жесть, главная героиня, находясь в мире пост апокалипсиса жалуется на сексизм с первой секунды игры. На мой взгляд это плевок в лицо всем тем, кто прошёл войну.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT DONT READ UNLESS COMPLETED. The Last of Us Part II follows up an a masterpiece that emotionally wears you down and makes you fall in love with its characters Joel and Ellie. If you have experienced life and know what loss is, than The Last of Us Part II will emotionally wears you down in a completely different way. It was designed clearly to.invoke a whole other feeling and it blew me away. It is a it blurs the lines of good evil that we often believe are set in stone, and results in a feel good fairytale for the ones we didn't want to feel good for, and it is a tragedy for the ones we know and love dearly. In the end, Ellie's biggest fear in life that she mentioned in the first installment, becomes her reality after choosing hate over love. This should serve as a cautionary tale of staying true to yourself and how careful we need to be about picking up the sins of our father figures. And how when we realize the error of our ways, it can be too late.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worlds/levels are beautifully crafted, the characters look great. The story though doesn't make much sense: Characters don't behave like we know them and make choices that every fan of the game would frown upon. The game also made a false advertising over who we play as. Frankly, we play the second half of the game as a character that is hated by the player. The also try to tell us she's a great characters by showing her pet dogs and be an animal lover.
    If you only knew what she did at the beginning of the game you'd hate her. Despise her.
    And then we're forced to play as her. It's absolutely ridiculous and I am so disappointed from Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first review for a game I am about to give. Please don't flag me as a bot Metacritic because of this. I played the game on Survivor difficulty and it took me 33 hours 41 minutes to complete. I feel like I have earned the opinion I am about to give.

    Story(Spoilers): I started the game off vaguely hearing of the spoilers, knowing what happens to Joel, but not how it happens. That was the extend of my previous knowledge. I noticed friction between Joel and Ellie. I knew something went down between them where Ellie was not happy and Joel was slightly heart broken. The acting in this game was very good when you can convey such emotion in your face without needing to say words. I was broken inside after seeing what happened to Joel. Every person who saw this had the same heartbroken and shocked reaction that I did. We all hated Abby at that moment, but I'll get to talking about her later. Ellie and Dina had a sweet relationship in this game. There were some genuinely nice moments they had together. I didn't like how in the first 10 minutes of playing the game I was reminded 4 times of Ellie being a lesbian through a bigot and other comments made. Having genuine sweet moments of people in love holds more weight than making them feel like the world doesn't agree with their choices. Ellie is out for revenge and the story progresses rather well through the days leading up to finding Abby. I was forced to kill dogs in this game, which I wasn't happy to do, but I do understand in war these things happen. I love my current dog(Apollo) dearly and understand how it can affect people. When we finally catch up with Abby she is as evil as ever. We know why she wants to kill Ellie with all the terrible things Ellie did to Abby's friends. We just don't care. Ellie is who we saved from that hospital because of the love Joel had for her. We understand we doomed the world, but we just don't care. The best line from Abby's point of view was when we had the flashback to the day of the surgery. Abby's father is asked if it was his daughter could he do the same thing. Knowing his daughter would die on the table. Her father never answered the question directly. He just danced around it. When the time came where we had to play as Abby the entire community had the same reaction, disgust. We don't care who is was leading up to that point. The only question I had was how she because so ripped though. To get that built as a guy it takes consuming massive amounts of high protein/low carb foods. For a woman it is even harder to achieve. How angry would you be when there are people starving out in the world and some one decides to eat 4 times what others do just to maintain that build? I mean doesn't she have to go on missions? She would need to reserve possibly 8 hours a day to maintain that. A perfect example is the end of the game when she losing all that muscle from starvation. Anyways, at first I thought it might be a mission or two where I would play as Abby, but when I noticed the days progressing the same way as Ellie's story line I was not happy. I don't care if she throws balls for dogs or befriends some scars. When Abby's long portion finally ended we finally get a nice part where Ellie is second mother to Dina's baby. It's nice has Ellie seems happy at first, but than you realize that she suffers from PTSD. Tommy shows up and gives information on how to find Abby to finish things finally. I can best describe Ellie as a soldier who just never left the war. She is so damaged inside that she doesn't know how to live in peace. This happens to people all the time. Ellie leaves her for one last mission and after finding Abby, rescuing Abby, than forgiving Abby for killing Joel she heads back to an empty house. No Dina and no baby. The final scene shows the last conversation Ellie and Joel had before that terrible chain of events happened.

    What started as a review ended up being a therapeutic release of my feeling towards this game. Does this game deserve a 10/10 by the scared game critics who don't want to lose the influence of Naughty Dog? No way. Does it deserve a 0/10? Not that either. If Abby was turned into a character more similar to Owen than I would have been happy. She would have seen the flaws in constantly being at war and just got tired of it. She sides with Ellie in a fight against a new enemy that has Joel die tragically trying to save Abby from this other threat. I didn't go into the game wanting to hate Abby. Naughty Dog did it for me and tried so hard to change my mind, but never succeeded.

    The failure was not in the graphics, acting or game play. It was in the story. It had potential, but Naughty Dog dropped the ball and it rolled under the fence. Leaving us all as sad puppies.    … Expand

    The gameplay and graphics are probably the best the ps4 has ever seen and the only reason I give this game a 6, since the story tries to be so many things but just ends up being flat, boring and an insult to the fans of this franchise who waited 7 years for a story that wasn’t needed or wanted, only adding new characters that feel forced and don’t add anything to the world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is exactly the same as the first game. background look great. The plot is awful. I loved Joel, he made the first game awesome, and an hour and a half into the game he gets his face smashed in with a gold club and spit on. Ellie goes on a brutal revenge killing spree but in the end when finally given the chance to kill the person you set out for, decides "killing is bad". Made almost the whole game a pointless... This game is awful. Don't buy it. Play the first game and leave it at that.… Expand

    Beautiful game, beautiful characters, amazing gameplay. If you truly play this game through and understand the story then I don’t see why it’s getting so much hate. Sure some characters die, some choices are not ideal, but that’s just how it is. I loved the game and do not regret buying it one bit.

    O jogo foi destruído, a historia do primeiro foi ignorada, nos obrigam a jogar com um personagem detestável tentando justificar as ações dele. Joel é um mercenário experiente, nunca tomaria as decisões que tomou nesse jogo.

    Fantastic graphics with the gameplay of the first game polished to a mirror sheen.
    the story while not the most original is well executed and like the first game is carried by the characters within it, while some risky decisions were made throughout the story i felt they really paid off.
    the game joins the ranks of bloodborne and god of war as being the best of this generation for me.

    Between The Trolls rating 1's despite likely not playing the game and the people who missed the point of the story, this will be rated lower than it truly deserves. In this game, Naughty Dog told a story which asked people to set aside their own biases and their own hate and the game put them in the shoes of the "other" to get the player to understand another person's perspective.Between The Trolls rating 1's despite likely not playing the game and the people who missed the point of the story, this will be rated lower than it truly deserves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I go too far, I must admit that TLOU2 is a
    technical marvel. The visuals are stunning, the soundscape and voice acting is incredible. The gameplay is passable (as to be expected of a story based game) and is very similar to TLOU. However, the big problem with this game is the story. Not a single character in this entire story is likeable (except maybe Lev), which is a big problem if you’re spending 30 hours with them. The deaths are weak and unsatisfying, with the majority of characters (such as Joel, who’s death was executed terribly) being given a mediocre send off done for shock value and easy plot development. The plot itself is incredibly generic, with the barely explored theme of “revenge is bad” being beaten into you with the complexity and subtlety of a baseball bat. Throw in having to play as Abby (who they desperately try to make sympathetic despite brutally beating Joel to death TEN HOURS of gameplay before) for 12 hours, and a good chunk of the game simply isn’t fun. And of course, we can’t forget about the atrocious ending. After sacrificing everything and killing hundreds of innocent people, Ellie ends up letting Abby get away, leaving us thinking, “that’s it?” Overall, the game story is just like the ending, an unsatisfying waste of enormous potential.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the immensely great gameplay that builds off the first game, along with a stunning visual setting in Seattle, I can't ignore the fundamental flaws of the story itself. It isnt the gay relationship of Ellie and Dina, nor the buff Abby. My main problem is the treatment of the characters such as Joel. Unlike many, my problem isnt the death of this beloved character but rather the timing, execution, and logic of it. Joel, the strong, untrusting protagonist of the first game, falls victim to Abby by giving out his name. They do this only 2 hours into the game to set up their revenge plot. The game tries to be philosophical but fails to do so. Then, the game forces us to play as his murderer for half the game and attempts to make us sympathize with her. Despite many not doing so, the ending doesnt even allow Ellie to exact her revenge, not even by the will of the player. Giving a choice to do so would've not only made it more immersive but made more sense considering Ellie murdered so many of Abby's friends in pursuit of justice for Joel. It's a convoluted story with beautiful gameplay, but, in my opinion, a game like the Last of Us should be more about narrative than gameplay. I just wish this game lived up to the success of the first game.… 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.
