    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра хорошое продолжение оригинальной истории, хоть и есть некоторые минусы касательно сюжета. Геймплей игры довольно интересный, хотя через несколько часов может наскучить его однообразие. Про графику нечего говорить кроме того что она бесподобна. The Last of Us: Part II определённо одна из самых красивых игры и самая детализированная. Сюжет в игре нельзя назвать шедевром, но и плохим его назвать язык не поворачивается, так как в игре очень сильно и правильно показывают последствия действий главных героев, и то как они с этим справляются, нам показывают как жажда мести может изменить человека до неузнаваемости. Показывают что насилие это вовсе не выход и свои проблемы этим не решить. Говорить про сюжет и разбирать его можно долго. Эта игра определённо пока что лучшая игра годаи достойное продолжение первой части.

    There was something incredibly patronising about this game.
    Compared to the first game, which let you discover the world and come to your own conclusions, it felt like TLOU2 just hit you over the head with corny cutscenes void of any nuance.

The first one's ending made sense- the same cannot be said for this. Also, something being incredibly violent and morally ambiguous does not make it profound. This game could be a case study of this. This plot was not well-developed at all. They seemed to think it was complex, but Ellie's blind mission of revenge without questioning it at all was unbelievable and the opposite of this. I left the game feeling talked down to while the characters also felt repugnant, especially because in the end it was all so simplistic. My score reflects the graphics, which were absolutely stunning- the game had many moments of visual beauty.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How do you take one of the most revolutionary, emotionally complex, deeply affecting video game concepts of all time and turn it into 30 hours of revenge porn? What brain dead moron green lit this script? It is just awful. The only high points are the fleeting moments you get to spend with Ellie and Joel. Their character chemistry is still top notch, but there’s sadly precious little of it. The rest of the game is filled with uninteresting, one dimensional characters whose motivations and relationships with each other make absolutely no sense. Oh, and one of the most forced, awkward sex scenes I’ve ever witnessed. The game mechanics, graphics, sound design, voice acting, etc., are all excellent. But Naughty Dog already set the bar for all of that in the first one. All they had to do here was meet it again (and I think they actually surpassed it in a lot of ways). But at the end of the day, a game like this is about the story and the characters, and TLOU2 falls well short in that regard. Where Joel’s story in the original was one of redemption, Ellie’s story here is basically “we’re going to kill the best character in the game almost immediately, then make you spend half the game playing as the psycho that beat him to death, and THEN, we’re gonna make you let her go and take everything from you, including your one remaining connection to him (guitar). Because f*** you, that’s why.”

    As a sequel, this game just felt unnecessary. I’d have much rather they just left the original stand alone. It was a masterpiece in every sense. Part II added nothing for me, and I think ultimately only tarnishes one of the most lauded franchises in video game history.    … Expand

    Мускулистость Эбби максимально абсурдно в эпоху апокалипсиса.
    Повесточка, которая в игре не нужна от слова совсем - просто зашкаливает в плане своего количества
    Сильные беременяши, которые способны на все - что за абсурд?
    Максимально тупой ИИ, хотя по началу кажется, что не так уж и плох.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a masterpiece both technically and in its storytelling. Some might think that the revenge driven story is a bit light, but if you invest time and emotions in the game you will not be dissapointed.
    Visuals, sounds, level design and actors are just stunning. And it ranks as the number 1 game for me regarding graphics and sound design.
    I did not want to play Abby, because I had no sympathy for her, but how wrong I was. Abby is in many ways "a better human" than Ellie.
    The ending left almost left my crying and I was very surprised that the game continued after Dina and Ellie arrive at the farm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a solid disappointment saying fans have waited 7 years, the characters we loved from the first game get little to no respect, within the first 2 hours of the game, the beginning looks promising starting with joel and ellie and joel singing for her, however it takes a sharp turn when Joel, a character we played as for the first game and we came to love, got beaten down with a golf club because of an NPC you kill in the first game. The story from then on feels empty, you are forced to play as a new character, Abby, who also is Joel’s killer, her character development was poor, made to play as a character for 10 hours who you have no attachment to and after she killed a key character to the story. The flashbacks between joel and ellie were the only parts of the game I enjoyed, mainly the museum flashback. The graphics are 10/10, the best I’ve seen and the accessibility controls are amazing, however the game just lacks everywhere else. Story and character development is way off from the first game and it just feels empty and like a chore to play. The ending is disappointing and empty, probably left for a third game for Abby, which I will not be getting. Overall I think the last of us 2 is an awfully written game, with the power of the graphics and gameplay I can only give it maximum a 4/10 as it is a predominately story based game with an awful story, however if there was a multiplayer I would play that as it has amazing graphics and really enjoyable gameplay. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing it because for the money it will just be disappointing. The LGBT aspects do not affect the game whatsoever and if someone has an issue with them in 2020 they’re the issue, not the characters. the whole “revenge is bad storyline” was executed poorly, as after butchering everyone on your way to Abby, you just let her go so loads of characters were killed for no reason, I understand what they tried to do, but unlike red dead 2 where a “revenge is bad” storyline is done well. Overall 4/10 which is upsetting because from the first game which was a masterpiece to this, it is very disappointing… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start with the gameplay because it's a videogame, and that's the most important thing for a videogame.
    If you liked the gameplay of The Last of Us, chances are, you'll love it here.
    If you didn't, however, it probably won't win you over.

    The Graphics are like next-gen, I've never seen a game that looks better and I'm more of a PC player, but something I like to say is that Graphics don't make the game, the gameplay does.

    As for the story, what I have the most to say about...
    So, The Last of Us is my favorite story ever with my favorite characters in all of gaming. Ellie's "It all can't be for nothing" Mentality and Joel's "You keep finding something to fight for" actually helped me a few times when I genuinely felt suicidal.
    With the Last of Us 2, they said that they'd be honoring these characters, and I was pretty excited.
    They basically ruined every last one of them.
    I'll start by saying that the leaks are all true. (All except Abby being Transgender, she's just really muscular.)
    Ellie says she's scared of ending up alone in the first game and in this one, she gets impaled by a tree and ends up alone, Tommy doesn't want to speak with her anymore, her girlfriend left her and took their kid, her father figure is dead, she can't even play the guitar that Joel taught her how to use because she's missing two fingers because Abby bit them off, and Ellie didn't even get to kill the person who killed Joel.
    Joel dies in the most out of character way too, he saves Abby (the person who kills him) which is something Joel would not do if it meant risking himself or his brother, then when they're at safety, they just say their real names when they were former hunters and Joel must know he's being hunted after killing an entire f*cking hospital full of people trying to make a cure for the infection. Then, when Abby says his full name, he never told Abby that his last name was Miller, so he would've immediately said something like "N- No, what? My name's Joel Franklin, what the hell are you talking about?"
    (Though, how she knew this was Joel makes sense. An Ex-Firefly told them that Tommy was there, and they know that Joel is Tommy's Brother because the group that kills him was Ex-Fireflies.)
    And, to add onto that, Ellie doesn't kill Abby because she has a kid with her, even though Ellie was willing to slit the kid's throat just to get Abby to fight her when Abby was refusing to, meaning Ellie could've easily just finished her off with a single shotgun round, and if she was worried about the kid hunting her, she could've done the same to the kid.
    I know killing a kid sounds bad, but you should see what Ellie does to the dogs in this game.
    Ellie stabs them, shoots them, beats then, lights them on fire, you can even make them literally explode.
    There is simply no way that this is honoring the characters like Naughty Dog said they would.

    There are good moments though, like the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie, like at the beginning where Joel tells Tommy what happened with the Fireflies, then teaches Ellie how to play the Guitar, Ellie's 15th (?) Birthday where she pretends to be an astronaut, I thought these were really cute.
    The one where Joel and Ellie look for Guitar Strings and Ellie almost dies to a Bloater was really cool, and the last two scenes near the middle and end of the game (If I recall correctly) where Ellie finds out what happened and has a mental breakdown, and the last scene where she says she was supposed to die there and her life "Would've f*cking mattered" were just amazing. After everyone who died to the infection, it makes sense that she would react this way.
    However, these are some of the only good moments, which there are very little of. This is not a compliment.

    I watched a No-Commentary Let's-Play on YouTube to see if the leaks were true and this game was actually worth buying and I want a refund.
    I did not buy this game, I did not even *play* this game, and I want a refund.
    If you are a fan of Naughty Dog or The Last of Us, please, save your money, stay as far away from this game as possible, and pretend that it doesn't exist, spend it on TF2 hats or CSGO crates or something because those are honestly better purchases than this game.

    The Last of Us 2 lacks the love and care that The Last of Us and it's DLC, Left Behind had in 2013 and 2014. At the end of the day, I'm really glad this game got leaked because it saved me and plenty of others some money that we can now spend elsewhere.

    And, before anybody calls me homophobic transphobic or racist since I've heard people are doing that with whoever dislikes this game, I just want to say that I'm dating two people (A Man and a Woman) and I'm Trans, so, please, shut up and get off your high horse, stop saying we're review bombing this because we're transphobic, homophobic, bots or whatever and just realize that this game seriously is not as good as you think it is.

    Sincerely, Charlotte Franklin.    … Expand

    Su historia si bien muy criticada y controversial es totalmente inmersiba, aunque tiene varios errores mínimos de lógica.
    En lo personal supera la primera entrega, (aunque esto depende del gusto de cada quien)
    Es un título que se debe jugar con la mente abierta ya que su protagonista es homosexual (aunque esto se deja claro en su primera entrega y aún más en su dlc Left Behind) y se presenta un personaje trans (claramente esto no tiene por qué afectar negativamente la historia pero en su tiempo mucha gente estaba enojada por este tipo de personajes) y también hay que ser maduros ya que personajes importantes mueren poniéndonos en la piel del asesino (otra cosa que ah sido muy criticada). Hay que tener en cuenta que es un mundo post apocalíptico dónde hay que tener mucha "suerte" para mantenerse con vida, por lo que es normal que muchos personajes mueran repentinamente. Cómo dice Joel: solo hemos tenido suerte y en algún momento se va a acabar.
    Es un juego mas que recomendable y extenso, siendo el doble de largo que el primero.

    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]
