    Необоснованно захейченная игра. "Фанаты" первой части и просто проходящие мимо, топят студию, делавшую прекрасные игры. Игра стоит времени потраченного на ее прохождение. Полностью оправдывает ожидания, появившиеся после просмотра трейлеров.Необоснованно захейченная игра. "Фанаты" первой части и просто проходящие мимо, топят студию, делавшую прекрасные игры.

    Another brilliant story driven game from Naughty Dog. Every part of the game are absolutelyexceptional, the lighting, sound, level design, soundtrack, characters and narrative are all leaps and bounds ahead of any current game. The attention to detail is absolutely mind blowing! A must have if you're a Playstation 4 owner.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you voted 0 to 5, didn't play the game because of the user score, or are disappointed with it, PLEASE read, i beg you.

    Let's just briefely talk about the gameplay, then we'll skip to the story:
    the combat is quite simple yet fun, with impeccable animations and interactions that make it very satisfying. The pacing is pretty much perfect, alternating combat, to exploration, to cutscenes, to a bit of platforming and puzzles; during all these sections the characters are constantly discussing (even the "bad guys"), and they are so well written that they feel like they're real people. Nothing to say about the technical aspects, best in class, crazy attention to detail and animations, i'd say they're unmatched (i didn't like the jumping animations and some of the dodges tho).

    I strongly belive that part 2 is far superior in every aspect, story and narration included, when compared to part 1. I get that yall are upset that they killed Joel, i was too, but i didn't immediately discarded the story as garbage because he died and came here to leave a 0 out of 10 review driven by rage, i trusted Neil and the team, if they made me care for the characters in the first part, they could do it again with other characters, even with the "villain", if Joel dies it's not the end of the world.

    I'm seeing people say that they are disappointed not because he died, but because he died in a stupid way, letting his guard down, something that he would never do. Now, he did let his guard down in the first game too when meeting new people, even if he had no reason to trust them (like Harry and Sam), but in this case he really had no choice to follow "the bad guys" inside the house, they were running away from a horde and there was a snowstorm outside. Also, they didn't have any reason not to trust them either, they had just saved Abby, so that was no reason for her to hurt them.
    I've seen people argue that Joel knew that the fireflies were looking for him so he shouldn't have told them his name, but thats just false, Joel knew that the fireflies were disbanded an that's it.

    The second big complaint is the ending: i know that what i'm about to say sounds pretentious, but please, PLEASE, hear me out with an open mind, you... probably did not understand the ending; the message is not "revenge bad", when you oversimplify this much, anything sounds stupid, even the gratest movie or book. When Abby spares Ellie and Dina in the theater, Ellie stops wanting revenge because she realizes that in order to get it she was gonna lose what she had left (Jesse killed, Tommy and Dina Wounded), at this poin she still kinda wants to kill Abby, but she realizes that it's probably not worth it. So her and Dina go to live peacefully in a farm, which was kind of a dream of theirs. But Ellie is still tormented and can't sleep, at this point she already doesn't want revenge anymore, what pushes her to go and try to kill Abby once again is her desire to "live again", to free herself from this burden, it's not a matter of making Abby suffer anymore, it's a matter of ending her own suffering.
    When she finally gets to Abby in Santa Barbara, she sees herself and Joel reflected in Lev and Abby, she hesitates for a moment but then she decides to fight, when she is about to kill her, she sees Joel, not the Joel covered in blood that she has been seeing all this time, but a peaceful Joel, sitting on the porch playing the guitar: this means that even tho she lost everything, in that moment she got her humaneness back, which means that she can now go back to living, she can move on, and she lets Abby join "her own Ellie", Lev, and lets them get away.

    I hope i did a good job at explaining what i think, as english is not my first lenguage, anyway my words aren't enough to describe all the emotions, so i implore you, play the game again (or get it if you didn't want to because of all the negative user reviews), but this time let it grow on you, try not to flag it as garbage from the start, let the emotions flow and let the events hit you as they should, do NOT be blinded by rage. If you watch a horror movie with the intention of not being scared, you are not gonna get scared, if you play TLOU2 with the intention of not feeling anything, you are not gonna feel anything.

    One last thing, for the first hour or so that i played as Abby, i hated it too. Just look at her like you used to look at Joel, as they are one and the same.

    Edit: after not even 10 seconds "0 people out of 2 found this review helpful", this is just hilarious, 2 people voted as not helpful and didn't even read it, guided by rage. Imagine asking a for a story to make sense (which btw it already does) while acting irrationally, great job everyone.    … Expand

    Excellent craftsmanship, truly a dev team at the top of its game. Thought-provoking, stylish, punishingly brutal storytelling, and apparently the bane of edgelords everywhere. So that's a bonus! About to start my second go-round.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just replayed TLOU1 and Left Behind 2 weeks ago, then finished this sequel during the weekend. I'll give 10 points to all the amazing graphics, level designs, some really cool cinematic moments and all the hard work people have put in making this game. But despite that, I'm giving a -10 for the poor story telling and for cheating us in the trailers.

    There are plot holes all over the game, and the actions of the main characters are simply not self-consistent. What Joel did at the end of the first game was selfish and horrible, but by sharing the same journey through the whole game, I can empathize with him. While in this sequel, I know and understand what the game is trying to tell me about revenge, but it just failed to make me empathize with the main characters and their choices. The closer I reach to the ending, the less feelings I have about this story. Just trying to see how it ends and get it over with. Similar feeling when I was watching the final season of Game of Thrones.

    I really wish this sequel never existed so I could keep the good memories on the fisrt game.    … Expand

    Great game overall. The first half might be my favourite game of all time, but it deeps a bit on the second half, with an ending that is good great and not so great. Overall, this game lived up to the first, which was really tough.

    It's a beautiful looking game with a great atmosphere and incredible soundtrack. They did not improve the main mechanics very much, but added enough to keep the combat encounters fresh and engaging. The level design is also a lot better. Every area feels a more open and gives you more choices and opportunities to tackle the enemy encounters.

    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]
