    Прошёл игру и она мне понравилась. Задумка Дракмана - бомбезна. Сюжет подаётся как хорошее кино. Геймплейно тоже претензий нет. Это первая часть с новыми фишками.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 SPOILERS BELOW.

    Please don't read below if you haven't completed the game.

    1)Some argue that Ellie killed so many people to get to Abby but then let her go.

    It is because she sees JOEL in Abby. Had she killed Abby then Lev wouldn’t get the same care she got as kiddo.

    People argue that Joel could sense ambush but he & Tommy walked straight in to an ambush in TLOU2

    This game happens years after TLOU. There are lot of people who travel the country to do trade with a settlement

    Joel traded a lot & He could have assumed Abby's group as traders

    Why Ellie goes again after Abby?

    It's not just because of Tommy visiting them but Ellie's own trauma of losing Joel brutally haunts her.

    So she wishes to end it by confronting and killing Abby or being killed. But she sees Joel in Abby and so she let's her go and finds peace.

    It's Abby who actually loses more than Ellie in #TLOU2

    Like many even I hated to play the game as Abby from day 1. But as the story progressed it became intense.

    Every QTE scared me.
    I wanted both Ellie & Abby to live. That's what this game does.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's difficult to talk about this game without addressing the elephant in the room. Obviously, the tragic death of Joel is a controversial and divisive move. But many of those fans who either didn't actually play the game, watched on YouTube or read the spoilers and decided to instantly review bomb based upon this need to learn how to deal with loss. It wasn't done as a cheap shock tactic. The death of Joel is literally the driving force of the entire plot. It would have been so easy to make a game where Ellie and Joel set out on another cross country adventure. It would have been popular with fans and sold well. But it was not the story that was told, nor was it destined to be. What instead unfolds is a tragic and bleak look into the consequence of revenge. The sheer discomfort we feel at learning about the darker sides of our favourite protagonists, as well as the slow realisation that they were never really the good guys begin with, is an unpleasant sensation. It doesn't sit well with us, especially when compared to the relatively uplifting story of the first installment.

    But the story progresses, and we delve into Ellie's hate driven revenge quest. And its brutal and cathartic, while dotted with sweet moments of earnest love and nostalgic visits to museums. As we start to see these memories become darker, and the consequences of the first game begin to manifest in broken trust and estrangement, so too do we see present day Ellie fall deeper into a pit of despair and hatred. Its uncomfortable, particularly when she makes certain unforgivable decisions. We want to change her actions but we can't. And that's really what makes it so powerful. This is not "poor writing" - it's a testament to how much we have grown to love and genuinely care for these fictional characters.

    And then the second major divisive decision comes into play at the midway point of the game. Spending the second half playing as the character you hate the most, and have just spent hours hunting relentlessly, is at first incredibly jarring. The second wave of 0 score reviews from people who actually did play the game almost certainly stemmed from this. I get it. Why would you want to hear what Abby has to say? You don't care, you just want her brought to justice. That's how I felt initially, and I spent my first hour or so as Abby feeling very apprehensive. However, by the end of Seattle Day 3, I didn't hate Abby. In fact, I was almost rooting for her. I grew to love her as a strong protagonist. I liked Owen, even if he was a bit of a douchey bro. I liked Manny, he was a decent human being who just wanted to take care of his father. I liked Mel, who had no interest in hurting anyone. And I absolutely fell in love with Lev and Yara, and their entire overarching plot.

    I didn't want Abby to die. I didn't want Ellie to die. But they both did terrible things with similar motives. The final few hours of gameplay were incredibly tense, stressful, and emotional. I have never experienced anything quite like TLOU part 2 in any other form of media. I understand people who legitimately played the game to completion and still didn't like it. It's not a happy game, nobody is a winner and everyone is a villain. But i absolutely loved every second of it. For me, it was an absolute masterpiece of storytelling, and it will stay with me for a long time. Unquestionably 10/10.    … Expand

    This game it isn't perfect, but most of the people that have posted horrible ratings, haven't even played the game, so that's why I put a 10, so the people that see the ratings don't have a bad first impression, the ending isn't that bad, yeah it could be better obviously, but it dosen't deserve the toxicity of all this xbox ****

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a masterpiece!!!
    I'll tell you why by looking at the complaints haters have.

    1. Joel's death What they say :- poorly dealt Fact:- he dies in the hands of the person he just saves by getting his leg shot with a shotgun and beaten to death with a golf stick. That is painful psychologically and physically. People wanted a predictable lame death of Joel??

    2. Abby getting to live in the end
    What they say:- it sucks to see Ellie not getting her revenge
    Fact:- Ellie got her revenge. Abby was able to kill Joel because her group outnumbered Joel and Tommy. Ellie kills her group therefore killing the indirect reason that helped Abby kill joel. And Ellie killed the Abby that killed Joel by making Abby realise that revenge only got innocent people killed.

    3. Structure and pacing
    What people say:- the game is slow and boring
    Fact:- these are blind haters who are probably xbox fans because the 1st game has the same pacing and that game is awesome!    … Expand

    The other main complaint seems to be that it shows you that NPC's that are slaughtered in their thousands have lives and families and you , to quote Bill Munny, "take away everything he's got and everything he's ever gonna have."
    There are many other games that allow you kill everything in sight and a few like Sniper Elite even give you an achievement for clearing the map but this like a few other games shows the consequence of your actions.

The gameplay is simply stellar, with almost infinite possibilities and situations that are never the same. The gameplay of Ellie and Abby are different from each other but equally beautiful.

Unfortunately this is a game that is not suitable for the general public given the depth and difficulty of the themes and how they are shown to everyone. A journey into Ellie and into the human mind that not everyone could understand, but we know that masterpieces are not always recognized by everyone.

    Its so great the way they make us doubt about what we think, is Joel truly a good character? Is Ellie acting right? Is Abby acting right? Undoubtedly, these two characters have been through a lot of SH*T! Its a post apocaliptical world, bad stuff can happen to anyone So all the complaints about Joel dying early, or other comments like that he didnt deserve to die    Game is absolutely amazing

    Its amazing how at the beginning of the game we HATE Abby and her friends...we really want to kill them all and take vengeance, and when we play the first Seattle day with Abby feel line “wtf” I wanna kill her not understand her...afterwards, I noticed HOW WRONG I was, she had all the rights in the world to did what she did, and Ellie forgiving her at the bery end its a beautiful ending, out protagonist giving a full stop to the cucle of hate, to the cycle of vengeance, finally overcoming her inner demons    … Expand

    The game is amazing. Really ambitious, and even when it may have some flaws in its pacing and some gameplay mechanics, overall it's a masterpiece. It engages you and makes you feel so many emotions as few games have ever done. Its something you definitely must experience on your own, and let it fill you and immerse you in the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genuinely genius game. I don't think people realize this, so it has to be said: Joel is a piece of **** He's great, don't get me wrong, he's one of my favorite characters of all time! He's a very kind and likeable man just trying to do his best, but like my alcoholic father who disowned us he is incredibly flawed and his flaws literally damned the entire human race. Not only this, but he did kill Abby's father. Abby killed Ellie's surrogate father. It's a revenge story where the point of the story is that "the violence doesn't end until the first party forgives." Playing as Abby serves to accentuate this theme by humanizing her as a sympathetic villain. I've also seen people say that the way Ellie acts makes no sense, but she's always been an incredibly angry character. She was filled with rage in the first one, and Joel taught her to be kind, but he betrayed her so it makes a lot of sense that she would fall back into her darkness. Both characters are equally right for taking revenge, unfortunately neither are completely right for it. Someone needed to forgive, and both learned that by the end of the story. The plot points are great, the character development is fantastic, the improved gameplay is orgasmic, and y'all just don't know how to behave because you're salty about storytelling elements you don't understand.… 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.
