    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра произвела сильное впечатление. Намного более сильное, чем я того ожидал. Игру, по моему мнению, не испортила даже перенасыщеность "гендерных проблем", хотя изначально мне казалось, что это убьёт сюжет. Но нет, к моменту развязки все это ушло на второй план. Выводы, которые делают герои по ходу игры очень сильно меняют героев и это видно по их решениям - от начальной тяги к мести герои приходят к мысли, что месть - ничего не изменит.
    Но есть одно, от чего моё сердце до сих пор разрывается - смерть Джоэла. Из за этого хотелось понизить оценку на 3-4 балла, но я сдержался. Ведь я понимаю, что не все должно быть так, как мне хочется. Это - жизнь. И игра следует тому же правилу. Разработчики не побоялись хейта за принятие непопулярного и осуждаемого в обществе решения. И это круто. Немногие студии могут этим похвастать.
    Хотя мне кажется, что я бы смог решить эту проблему без смерти такого яркого, самобытного и колоритного персонажа, как Джоэл. Однако, к сожалению, не я работаю в компании.
    В общем, ставлю заслуженные 10/10. Игра оправдала ожидания. Игра обогнала свое время. Люди это поймут, немного позже. Через год, может два, но точно поймут. Thank you for this experience, NAUGHTY DOG.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I see a lot of people in metacritics complaining about the game's history, how horrible it is and its the worst ending of all videogame industry. honestly I loved the game, I love how you get upset with Abby in the beginning for killing the joel, but you start to sympathize with her during the game because even if they don’t accept, she had her reasons for doing what she did, not only with her but with her friends also mainly with Alice (the dog) when you play with Ellie and you go to the Aquarium I remember that I killed that dog and I didn't have any remorse for it but later on I was very sad when I went there with Abby and I realized that it was Alice that I had killed.At first I believed that ellie was right with her mission but every time I progressed in the story I start to see that it wasn´t doing her well because she didn´t care about anything expect her and her mission, she didn't care about Tommy, Jesse, and even Dina, she left Dina and her son to go look for Abby, we see throughout history how selfish Ellie is , and I think in the end she realizes that when she is playing guitar in the empty house. But in summary I think people didn´t like the game because it didn't end like they wanted, they wanted a happy ending but this game is not about that, its about explaining to a person that in revenge nobody is right or wrong, revenge will not bring you comfort or happiness, only more sadness and destruction and i loved the last fight you see ellie completely insane trying to kill Abby and when she is about to do it she has a quick flashback of joel playing guitar and she lets her go, you later see that this scene that she remembered was the scene that Ellie forgives joel for what he did and this is such a strong scene that I admit, I cried a lot, Ellie being able to forgive Abby for what she did its really sad but good , she has to live with the consequences of her actions but now she can live in peace . remember its easier to suffer than to forgive , Yes i give this game a 10/10

    Thanks for reading and have a nice day    … Expand

I will include a huge spoiler-alert before entering the sections containing spoilers, so don’t worry.

    As most of the critics already said, the graphics and level designs are great. Many different areas, very versatile looks, every shot could be a wallpaper, beautiful details, skin looks very realistic, motion capture is awesome and was also used for in-game situations. Gameplay works as known from the first part, fun puzzles that are not too hard, great fights with zombies and humans, you can almost always choose whether you want to go stealth or all in. All in all very fluent and realistic gaming experience.

    I am actually shocked about the bad reviews the game got in the first days after release regarding the story. Many were disappointed. I am not. For me this is the best ND piece so far.
    Who wants the well-known narrative of two disturbed characters trying to reach a destination together and growing together emotionally, should clearly play Part 1 again. As Part 2 is really different. Zombie apocalypse is no bed of roses. Part 2 is emotionally difficult, the characters are twisted, things are dark and mean. And things are not only emotionally demanding for the characters, but also for gamers. ND is showing once more that they dare to go new ways, also story-wise. They show that events and characters are not only one dimensional, good or evil, black or white. So for me many parts of the game were not easy to emotionally process, but i loved the challenge and was not disappointed in the end.

    !!!!!!
    !!!!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!!!! STOP READING !!!!!!
    !!!!!!

    In the last scenes of Part 1 for me it was already clear, that there would be no funny-and-happy-walking-around-with-lovely-Ellie-and-Joel stuff. A conflict was already established, as Joel lied to Ellie. So I was prepared for going solo with one of them from the start. Joel's violent death was shocking but necessary to pave the road for the story, ND wanted to tell us: a revenge story with a huge twist.

    We are used to one-dimensional stories, that give us guidelines of who to love as a character and who to detest, whose goals are rightful and whose death is fair or unfair. When Joel went in to rescue Ellie out of love at the end of Part 1 we tend to forget that his killings might have consequences as well, that he is not only lovable, that he might take the lives of many people, who are loved and lovable as well.
    And that's what we see in Part 2: Both Ellie and her “antagonist” Abby do very gruesome and inhumane things, both kill and hurt for goals that seem fair to them. The game gives us insights in both sides of the story and makes it possible to see both strong characters as human beings with huge flaws but also great human qualities.
    Don’t get me wrong: at the beginning for me it was really hard to play Abby. I was angry to play the person, that killed Joel. I jumped off many high places with her to see her hurt ;)
    And time after time I opened up for her perspective and her goals. I understood that Joel and Ellie also make up for great antagonists who do detestable stuff.

    All in all I could write a whole book as a review, as there are so many things that came to my mind. But after I think I covered the main issue for the bad reviews just a few last fast thoughts:

    con

    The character of Dina was indeed very flat and didn’t manage to establish an emotional relationship

    I would have liked a few more overlapping events with Abby’s and Ellie’s story lines

    ending came too abruptly, was very sad

    pro

    Love the diversity in the story: gay love, very strong female characters, transgender issues, ethnic variety, criticism of extremist groups that suppress different ideologies

    Lovely building of relationship between Abby and Lev

    Story open for Part 3 :)    … Expand

    This game is amazing! I loved the first game. Played it like 10 times at least. And was exited for this game. Although u was scared because i knew they wouldnt top the first game. I started playing this game, and everything from the graphic to the characters to the gameplay is perfect. Such a good game and really a must play.

    It deserves a 10, dont listen to people saying that it is bad, most of them didn't even play the game and just review bombed it, the gameplay is a 10/10 better than the first and the story is something you will enjoy if you look at it realistically, not as a fantasy, the story is just amazing and totally recommend it.

    Currently replaying it on Survivor+.

    This is one of the best games I have played in my entire life.
    The range of emotions... I went from crying like a baby, to feeling rage, guilt.
    It is a roller coaster.

    I have been counting down the years, months and days to play TLOU II and have rewatched every trailer a dozen times. I would have been disappointed with anything less than a 10/10 game.

    Naughty Dog has not let us down.

    TLOU 2 is far and away the most developed and intricate game I know aware of. The character development and storyline is on par with the best of cinema and the graphics are about as photo-real as todays technology can handle. The story, emotion, combat mechanics, world-building, physics, horror, characters/VO, graphics, music and sound all working flawlessly and in harmony makes the Last Of Us II feel like a next generation of video gaming. I felt like a character in a well-crafted movie.

    This game is what publishers will strive to be on par with for the next several years. Well done Naughty Dog. The developers and everyone involved should be incredibly proud of what they have created.

    Unfortunately people are narrow minded and have decided they don't like a game with homosexual characters, or the death of a beloved character, and are acting out like overgrown children to voice their hatred. Don't listen to them. They are the worst of us. They are scared of the importance of what you have achieved.

    Much like the first chapter of TLOU, part 2 will be remembered as a masterpiece.    … Expand

    It's not a perfect game but it's the best game I ever played. When story told in game/book/video can torn you apart leave you speechless and brokenhearted, when you feel joy and sadness and later you hate creators because they engage you emotionally and later when you have been vulnerable give you a blow... It's always 10.

    Absolutely brilliant. Very different to the first game, but gives characters consequences for that actions in the first game. It's not the Joel and Ellie story anymore, so if that's what you're looking for, it's not what you're in for.

    Best game ive played this generation. No doubt. Its a true masterpiece in storytelling and game design. It takes the characters from the first game and builds on tjen while introducing a brand new cast og characters which are equally as interesting.

    It takes many bold moves story wise which imo pays off in the end.

ЛГБТ пропаганда не влияет на развитие повествования практически никак. Смерть Джоэла не является слитой, потому что этот персонаж заслужил её. Он убивал, грабил и лишил человечество единственного шанса на спасение. Сюжет является очень тяжёлым и жестоким, потому что это постапокалипсис.

    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]
