    Գիտեմ , որ ինձ ոչ մեկ չի հասկանալու , բայց դե, խաղը ուղղակի արտակարգ ա, միանշանակ ավելի լավն ա քան առաջին սերիան, սաղ են վատ գնահատականները, որ կան, դրել են էն մարդիկ, ովքեր խաղը չեն խաղացել մինչև վերջ։

    It's a huge slap on the face for anyone who enjoyed TLOU. I consider it the worst disappointment in gaming history.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For context, I played this game around a month ago and I didn't even particularly want to play this game this year but with all the negative opinions of this game, I just had to play it.

    Story (Spoiler Free)
    (I'll tell you when I'm about to talk about other aspects of the game)

    The first hour or so with this game is honestly perfect and feels like it is about to set up a perfect sequel to the first game but it soon strays from this path to make a different story, a potentially good story but the writing falls a little flat and character relationships feel like they're ripped out of a soap drama which is tone-deaf to what the plot really should have set out to accomplish.

    Looking at characters from the soap drama perspective it becomes clear that Neil Druckman wanted to subvert expectations in a more realistic and grounded sort of way which can make the story appear to be disingenuous to itself and what has come before often leaving behind great characters but rarely great dialogue between them and very little sense of any meaningful relationship between them.

    But occasionally the game does reach the same heights of the original on a few levels, if you asked me how much of the game reached the heights of the first game I'd say round it to 1/3rd.

    Is the story bad? no. but a lot of the foundations are struggling to hold it up and coming off of the back of The Last of Us 1 and Uncharted 4 it's a little disappointing that the story doesn't hold up.

    It's neither good nor bad.

    Graphically the game is beautiful, there's nothing really to say here, the cinematography is incredible and has its own style.

    The gameplay is top tier, a lot like the first game in that it's not deep but not overly simple, not to say it plays similar to the first but in the Survival Horror genre of gaming no other game tops this in terms of how polished the core mechanics are and I shouldn't have to explain, after all, it is a Naughty Dog Game.

    My Score: 8/10

    (Potential Spoilers)

    Honestly, it's kinda stupid how people take something so ridiculous as having a favorite character and trying their best to ensure that a particular character is the holy grail of the series, I feel like I've played many games where a particular character dies in s similar fashion where people haven't taken it so personally (not to insinuate that anybody should take the death of a particular character personally at all) and I find this whole "THE GAME IS BAD CUZ X, Y, Z CHARACTER DIES" argument immature and honestly dumb, the game has flaws but that isn't one of them, it's evidence of a deeper problem that the story faces and that is kinda mid-tier character writing and conflicting tonality. If you're on the fence wait a year until this game is cheaper or don't rush to play it, play it in your own time and on your own morals.    … Expand

    It is hilarious to see those ridiculous haters lose their **** when watching a ground-breaking game leaded by a lesbian and a muscular female figure. Sorry to disappoint you, but we are getting sick to watch another mundane episode of a middle-aged man slashing a way out to triumph. It broke my heart to watch Joel died though. Bravo Naughty Dog!

    Nearly two months past but I still couldn't move out from the beautiful story, characters and graphics this fantastic game brings on me. It will be a revolutionary gem in game history for it is the first time we have literally have female protagonists dominate an AAA game. Thank you Neil, Hayley and Naughty Dog for the aesthetic joy I gained from TLOU2.

    A testament to the advancements of the game industry. There are some plot holes, sure, but the overall storytelling and character development are great. The ambience, animations and game play are second to none. Pacing is spot on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An incredibly challenging narrative that tests your empathy and compassion in a completely innovative and immersive way. It’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. To those who’ve been affected by surface level story elements, and have felt angry and disappointed, and have taken these feelings way too far on social media, I ask you- what were you deserved? This was a great piece of art, and I hope the creators and developers know that there are people out there that have been moved by it, and appreciate it more than they could know.… Expand

    This game has stunning graphics, an interesting story because it teaches us to be open minded and have a complicated drama. The gameplay is also very good with lots of new enemies and new infected. I hope The last of us part 2 becomes the game of the year 2020. Thank you naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s frustrating that this game is so polarizing, but I presume this was Druckmann’s intentions and that he accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. I fall into the camp that was thoroughly disappointed with the story and plot. I agree that cinematics and music is stunning, and I disagree with those that say the gameplay wasn’t a step up. I liked the game mechanics and noticed improved transitions and sequencing in combat. In order to try and overcome my biases and emotions, I have read a bunch of positive reviews to see why others thought so highly of the game. What I have noticed is a trend of those who have little connection to TLOU original characters; they either played the original for the first time recently (or not at all), or the original was not their favorite game of all time, like it is for those of us who were disappointed by the storyline in TLOU2. And let’s be honest, review bombing goes both ways - a lot of these 10/10 reviews have no substance, which is telling that they were not emotionally connected to the story or are accounts created to try and offset the 0/10 reviews (which makes it hard to believe they are real reviews). Naughty Dog, you absolutely crushed us. This was the wrong story to use as a platform to examine the cycle of violence and its consequences. TLOU story was so impactful because there was hope in Joel and Ellie’s story in a desolate, hopeless world, and it was in that hope that ALL of us diehard fans found “something to fight for”. There is no hope in the storyline of TLOU2 - the revenge plot and its execution was way too easily contrived, characters decisions are forced to align to the plot’s revenge theme, rather than the characters driving the storyline and the forgiveness shown at the end by Ellie is hollow, forced, unbelievable and used as a cheap literary solution to attempt to give the whole story justification. I admit that I didn’t want to kill Abby at the end either, but it wasn’t because I was somehow newly sympathetic for her character, story and it’s arc; I was emotionally exhausted and just wanted the game to end. The characters I cared about had already been bastardized and were broken beyond repair and hopeless by this point. We the diehard fans of the original story deserve better than what was given. The story was absolutely not one “deserving of Joel and Ellie” as Druckmann promised, and a video game - a 3rd person shooter, Story- driven, apocalyptic, survival game - should not have been the vehicle to examine the cycle of violence/“revenge is bad motif”. Especially one that takes 40 hours to complete and leaves you emotionally hollow upon completion. I implore those who feel as I do to leave reviews like this in hopes that it will somehow hold ND accountable to its previous high standard of game development and prevent something like this from happening again.… Expand

Es un juego que toma muchas decisiones arriesgadas , un juego que puede meterte de lleno en su trama, que sientes que encarnas a las protagonistas y logras apegarte a los personajes como si fueras tú el que en realidad está ahí, le aplaudo, no todos los juegos pueden hacer eso. Tiene una trama sólida y muy bien redactada me gusta que hayan tomado tantos riesgos. Hay decisiones con las que no estoy de acuerdo pero si me pongo a pensar, están en una lucha dónde el riesgo a morir es muuy grande y nadie está segundas oportunidades. En pocas palabras, se merece ser el GOTY.… Expand

    Gameplay was well executed, but nothing new or original. I did enjoy the beats this game picked up and improved upon from the first. Gone are the weak puzzles, and escort missions. The story is the main center point of this game, and it doesn’t disappoint. A little heavy handed, but very enjoyable.

    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]
