    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ох как же много срача произошло из-за этой игры. Выскажу свое мнение. Как игра, она мне очень понравилась, Очень крутая боёвка, перестрелки, заражённые которых ты реально боишься, классный стелс. Вообщем от игрового процесса я ловил кайф и восхищался. Но срач и не из-за этого. Сюжет мне зашёл и не очень одновременно. Игра показывает правильные мысли на счёт мести, показывает что люди порой хуже гриба. (Дальше спойлеры). Все бомбят на то что убили Джоэля, ну мне тоже не очень это понравилось, но мне кажется что авторы и этого чувства хотели и вызвать у игрока, как и у Элли. Ухх, как же я хотял всех поубивать, играя за Элли, но бомбить на то что эго убили это то самое что бомбить на то что твой отец умер в автокатастрофе например. Да, обидно, но с этим уже ничего не поделаешь. А от что в игру было вплетено ЛГБТ мне это вообще не понравилось. Я полностью понимаю лесбиянство Элли, так как это было показано ещё в первой части, понимаю мужиковатость Эбби, так как она в это суровом мире выживает сильнейший и она тренировалась, что бы отомстить, да и вы видели тот крутой спортзал, я бы сам там занимался каждый день)). НО. Есть мелкие ЛГБТ моменты которые меня бесят иии... Лев. Этот трансгендер. Из-за него весь сюжет получился таким каким он есть иии, я совсем не понимаю мотивацию Лева, а из-за этого перевоплощения пострадали её родственники и он сам и это меня бесит. Вставили лиш бы было, лучше не говорили бы что он трансгендер. Плюс затянутый сюжет немного так что 7 балав из 10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Если начать с плюсов, то можно отметить, что сценаристы смогли отлично разветвить и продолжить сценарий и показать его с разных сторон. Да, игра не подходит для фанатов The Last Of Us. Причина этому - смерть Джоэла. Я сам был очень расстроен. Но с другой стороны его смерть стала мотивацией для мести Элли, что и стало главной темой игры. Лично для меня, лучшим моментом в игре показалась её концовка. Элли, хоть и в самом конце, всё-таки поняла свою ошибку. Из минусов, я бы отметил, что первая половина игры, за исключением смерти Джоэла, была весьма скучной. После второй половины стало более динамичней и интересней. Игрой доволен, буду ждать третью часть.… Expand

The combat was fun (the was is important later), the graphics are beautiful, the environments and level design is amazing, and the voice acting is impeccable. However, the reason why this game is a 6 or 7 is purely due to the gameplay and story. The combat was fun. The first ten hours in you enjoy the combat and its a blast to play but eventually, it becomes a tedious drag similar to red dead redemption 2. The AI is laughably bad, I'd argue its nearly as bad if not worse than assassin's creed AI. This brings the game automatically to an 8 or 9, but now its the story. I really don't want to go into detail with this simply because it would require a whole essay to describe all my problems with this game. The simple facts are the reason why this story is bad is due; 1) Abby, 2) Character inconsistencies from the last game (Joel and Tommy), 3) the revenge bad plotline, and 4) pretty much every new character actually.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I don’t agree with a 5.4 rating, I just as much don’t agree with a 10/10 rating. This games pacing is horrible. You’re all over the place with this game. I was hoping the leaks would be false about playing for Abby for the second half of the game. It was flashback after flashback and then you flash forward and then flash back and then flash to the present: it was all over the place. And after you beat the daylights out of Ellie and her crew as Abby, you flash forward like a year maybe 2 years into the future with completely different takes on the characters. For example: At the beginning of the game, Tommy doesn’t want Ellie to go face Abby and just let it go, and then at the end of the game, he calls Ellie pathetic for trying to let it go?? The whole barn sequence felt like a day dream or something. It’s like if you were watching a tv show that ran 4 seasons. 1st season is great so far. It’s good, it’s interesting, and it sets the tone and setting. 2nd season, it’s all right. It’s nothing like the first season, but you aren’t as interested. Then it feels like you skipped the 3rd seasons and went straight to the 4th/final season with new characters (rattlers) and Ellie, Abby and Tommy are all different characters now.

    Despite all that, there were many good parts to the game, mainly being gameplay.    … Expand

    this game looks, plays and sounds beautiful. Few animation system hangups here and there are ok, I just hate motion blur and this game wouldnt run smooth enough without it, so thats the one point down.

    Gameplay - 8/10
    I LOVE the stealth oriented gameplay, the areas of gameplay are bigger and more vertical, there are some new fun to use weapons, stealth got better just by being able to crawl, but most of it is pretty much more of the same from the first game, it was just constantly interrupted by cutscenes and the context of the story made me sometimes NOT ENJOY being good at the game. Also too much jump scares, too many times the game forcefully takes all my gear when I just got comfortable with using all of the tools they gave me.

    Narrative script and dramaturgy - 5/10
    The characters from the previous game were absolutely out of their previous characteristics, one of the most belloved characters from previous game was flatout disrespected by the writers from the very start of the game and awkwardly recalled in flashbacks later to what we actually wanted to see after playing the first game, problem is it was out of beat of funcional story of this genre. My personal and professional oppinion is that this event should have taken place roughly half way through the game, not at the beginning.

    Other characters were acting pretty ridiculously knowing who they are what life experiences they all have. The motivation and actions of lots of those characters is just completely crazy and nonsensical. All the constant jumping back and forth between playable characters to explain it, flashbacks and unplayable cutscenes stopped me from getting to know the new characters I was supposed to care for and empathise with them later on in the game. Lots of reasoning the story used either didnt make sense in the reality of that world or was in direct contradiction of what the game tells you couple of scenes earlier.

    Lots of smalltalk between characters during gameplay or exploration was cringeworthy not just for me, but for both of my flatmates watching me play the game. It just came off like a fan fiction based on the world of Last of Us 1 written for a specific niche of the audience of the first game, but without fully respecting the previous game.

    Lingering on super violent scenes and letting characters that already went through a lot of violence and rought life, but also know peaceful life in safe communities, go through all this crazyness without having anything to reflect on it and just keep on being hellbent on more violence is surprising and shocking and I get what kind of experience they try to create for players, but the first game wasnt like that, it used violence differently when it comes to the main plot of the game, it built suspence and brought points and realisations both to the player and the character that were not so shocking, but emotionally way more hard hitting than anything in this game, I just remember feeling shocked by some cheap jumpscares and disgusted by taking some violent scenes a bit too far and completely let down by the ending.

    SO, how would I rate this game overall?

I don’t understand, why so many people think the story is boring and stupid. Perhaps because they didn’t understand all morality and meaning that Neil Druckmann wanted to convey to them.

    But it isn't, the mechanics are practically ancient, the level design is so smoothbrain that it's painfully obvious that having fun was absolutely the last priority for the developers, and the writing is on par with a Twilight movie. The dodge and jump mechanics are also laughably bad and add nothing to the experience.

    I could write an entire essay on how stupid the story and characters are but suffice to say everything you've heard is true. Everyone is awful, nothing is hopeful, and it comes off as a shallow and preachy diatribe. You will be bored to tears playing this and frustrated to the point of facepalming yourself into another dimension. Everything bad you've heard about this game is 100% accurate.

    This was a vanity project for Neil Druckmann and it turns out he isn't half as clever as he thinks he is. If you want a game with a good story and gameplay play Star Wars Fallen Order or even minesweeper. Avoid this game like zombie brain fungus.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is unavoidable that the theme is how NaughtyDog deals with the stubborn relationship in 1.
    However, it is difficult to tolerate the present work, whose humanity and affection before the pandemic disappeared from the root.
    Negative emotions are too great to make Joel a foremost player by putting Joel on the forefront.
    It seems like a consistent theme from the previous work, and I will never be convinced by the sequel that lost sight of how to convey the theme.

    Elie wants to forgive Joel's sin
    Elie wants to forgive Abby's sin
    A player wants to forgive Joel's sin
    Feeling that the player wants to forgive Abby's sin (high difficulty).

    Everything is off.
    Personally, I think that players cannot be immersed in the last Erie's disappointment unless everything is tied with equality.
    Even if Ellie's disappointment is shown from a bird's-eye view, I can't feel the weight of Joel's death, and above all I can't feel the weight of the gameplay.

    Do you want to draw opposite ego?
    Do you want to draw Ellie's forgiveness and liberation?
    After all, it's just an unpleasant game experience

    TLOU1 Suspension bridge through action game The player's emotions that increase effectively cause a chemical reaction with a scenario that draws two distorted love

    TLOU2 wanted the player to build a complicity relationship with the character through an action game, and to create an immersive feeling in a scenario that makes you feel guilty and disappointed, but the script is too bad and it is not functioning.
    I think what Neil tried to do was an experimental and interesting idea. If all went well, I think it was a great gaming experience. However, the result was the worst game.

    He completely betrayed his fans by immersing himself in the best gaming experience of the previous game.
    It's just unpleasant and bad taste, and what remains after clearing is the feeling of emptiness and fatigue.

    I used the previous work as a tool to evoke this **** feeling. And I don't feel the need at all. Nothing is convincing.

    You don't have to create what your fans want.
    However, it is unforgivable to insult the fans who supported you and the story of Joel and Erie from the bottom of your life.

    The volume and making of the gameplay part is wonderful, and it can be said that it is an orthodox evolution of the previous work.
    That's not enough.
    It's painful just to imagine playing the second lap because you're forced to play a game that violently tells a story or violates player feelings. This is an incredibly horrifying flaw in the game.

    Not only fans, Naughty Dog betrayed many people who made this game together.    … 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.
