    Самое глубокое раскрытие темы мести, и к чему она может привести. Наитоповая графика на данный момент. И очень увлекательный геймплей. Безусловно игра застолблила себе место в истории.

    "The Last of us - Part II" is a true masterpiece that even surpasses the first part. The story is dark, hard, and quite brutal on an emotional and physical level, with emotionally moving and tender moments. The game wisely and consistently continues the ending of the first game, further characterizes the protagonists and even takes the time to humanize and emotionalize the antagonists, so"The Last of us - Part II" is a true masterpiece that even surpasses the first part. The story is dark, hard, and quite brutal on an emotional and physical level, with emotionally moving and tender moments. The game wisely and consistently continues the ending of the first game, further characterizes the protagonists and even takes the time to humanize and emotionalize the antagonists, so that we also cheer with them. Telling the story in different timelines gives the story more complexity and cleverly fills the gaps between part 1 and 2. The end is open in the tradition of part 1, which leaves us somewhat depressed, but as in part 1 as well with a little hope. Conclusion of the story: masterful, relentless, emotional The technical side is at least as impressive. Like "The Last of us", "The Last of us - Part II" is an unparalleled audiovisual experience, I missed the wonderfully melancholic music of the first part here, but the game is graphically and atmospherically a feast for the eyes. While you strolled through the melancholic post-apocalypse of North America from time to time in decelerated moments in the first game, you are literally overwhelmed by the thoroughly depressing atmosphere, soaked with sadness, anger and despair. The cold and dreary bluish cast, as well as the seeded colors always convey a feeling of threat, discomfort and despair. The graphics offer a cinematic experience in cutscenes and create an incredible level of realism in the game, especially in combination with the excellent motion capturing and the acting. The game sometimes offers certain moments when there is an epic visually that is not only unusual for both games, but is generally comparable to nothing that I have seen in the medium so far. Images that completely say goodbye to the melancholy in part 1 and drift off into the realm of the doomsday scene. The gameplay is basically the same as in the predecessor, of course has been expanded a bit, but is just as in part 1 excellent, exciting, stressful, clever survival action. Conclusion on the technical side: Just like part 1, this game will inspire us even in 10 years. General conclusion: "The Last of us Part II" is an unquestionable masterpiece at every level, on which one can evaluate a game. The successor shows once again the greatest strength of the series, the story-telling, while the story in part 1 was quite simple, which was offset by the excellent story-telling, the story could not be more complex, complex and emotional. We are always offered exciting gameplay, supported by overwhelming graphics, great sound, etc. Of course, the story provides material for discussion, but it will be continued consistently and logically with regard to the end of part 1. I think that's what it means that every decision has consequences and that even when the world ends, we are still human beings and everyone has a story, emotions, fears, hopes and is ready to fight for what is important to him. Ellie and Abby are only 2 sides of the same coin. Still, despite all the harshness, brutality, and mercilessness, the game does something that other games just don't. It takes time for calm, tender, soulful moments, moments that seem trivial, dialogues, moments in which the characters are characterized and humanized. I could go on forever, but I'm just getting to the final conclusion: it's a wonderful but hard masterpiece, the story is brilliant, I can only say it's the best game I've ever played, my absolute favorite.… Expand

    Words can't describe how good this game was. Just play it through from start to finish, and then make your judgement about it. The game takes its time to craft its massive story, and it will be rewarding if you let it.

    I never go out of my way to rate things like this, but I felt like the baseless vitriol surrounding this game needed a bit of a counterbalance. This game is objectively excellent on nearly every front. Stop acting like children or you'll discourage this type of world-class storytelling in AAA games and we'll be stuck with endless Fortnites.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it, the game had fun gameplay, the notes made the world bigger, i found the story engaging. I agree that the order of the game could have been different and some characters should have gotten more screen time. It's not a perfect game but the main points i see people being angry over are:

    1. Joel's death
    2. Abby being a bad character both visually and mentally.
    3. LeSbIaNS

    1.First, Joel dying sad yes, is the world of Last of us fare on any level? NOPE. I think that there could have been other things to motivate Ellie or ways to give the story a conflict but then that would have been a different story. Joel’s death was horrible and that's the point. It’s a story about the Spiral of Revenge and why you shouldn’t go down it and if you do that you have the option to stop.

    2.Muscle woman go Golf, did not have a problem with Abby, like her after I got to play with Alice, Liked talking to her Friends, Manny A+ give more screen time. Abby is a person just like Ellie, everyone is capable of bad stuff. Abby beats Joel with Golf club? Booooooooooooo
    Ellie beats Nora with a pipe? yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh, that’s kinda hypocritical in my opinion.

    3.I am glad that we get an open and visible active LGBT+ character (two since we got Lev but his LGBT+ identity is not that explored but they at least didn’t **** it up). You know how a character goes the whole series, movie or game not being romantic or attracted to any gender and then in a end credit scene, in some brand twitter post or some other **** they gay now. Also why save their gayness until the very end? Last of Us part says **** that, here is some Lesbions enjoy. Ellie and Dina could have gotten some more couple moments in Seattle but the beginning and end part goog.

    overall i give it 8.7/10, could have been longer, could have changed some minor things, but in all honesty I don't see why people hate it but I understand not liking the game, I don’t like Uncharted but I don’t hate it.

    Perfect storytelling and character development. If you genuinely didn't like it, it means you're too emotionally weak and not mature enough to live a deep story like this. Stop writing how the story is trash, because it's not and you're just an idiot

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay i finally get why the game is layed out like it is, with Ellie first and abby second and not broken up and jumping between them - it's so the gamer experiences the whole journey - we lose someone we love (Joel's death) we're angry and want revenge, we get further and further into that darkness, we get the revenge we wanted (abby killing joel) we realise it doesn't make things better, we find a new purpose in life (Lev) we find the light. See the reason we don't want ellie to kill abby at the end is because we know it won't work and we can see it as a mistake because we are emotionally way ahead of ellie at this point. We, the gamer, completed the whole cycle and found the light, ellie is still stuck in the dark, so we are able to see the mistake for what it is. I also realised that I'm not onboard with the abby section until Lev because I can't forgive her but Lev becomes a reason for us to want abby to live, she suddenly has a purpose because she is all Lev has in this world, so it's not we want abby to live because we forgive her or like her as a character, its because we need her to look after Lev because he's an innocent in this world and we want to protect him, so we can push aside our hatred for abby enough to let her do this.

Would like to request my dear gaming society not to believe these 0 out of 10 reviews please. Be mature, be more accepting. This game is ahead of its time, far too ambitious. I know that everyone wanted to feel the same way we did by the end of the first one, but if there is no change, just like in life if there are no ups and downs, it gets stale. Therefore, my dear gamer brothers and sisters, please be more accepting towards innovation and bold steps because if we don’t, we will get the same formula games over and over again just like we did throughout this generation. Different franchises felt like re-skins this generation. Developers have run out of ideas. In such times, the last of us part II actually felt, trust me, like a breeze of fresh air, however bleak it may be. Accept this game for the love of gaming. This is nothing short of a masterpiece and then some. Best gameplay. It’s been a long time since I’ve played a game so responsive as the last of us part II. Playing it makes you whole. You will feel overwhelmed by the possibilities it presents during every possible encounter. Be yourself in this game. Make your own story through every encounter and share it with us online or with your friends. Secondly, best graphics. This game has crossed red dead redemption in terms of graphics and detail. Yes, I know these two aren’t comparable because one is an open-world and the other is a semi open-world but trust me when I say this, it is the best looking game this generation. The atmosphere doesn’t fall short in making you feel alone and miserable, as every enterable building or area has it’s own story. Reading the letters by those whose corpses have decomposed with those letters in their hands, tell stories that can make you feel like playing a side-quest at every possible location where such artefacts are found. The detail of this game needs much more appreciation. Lastly, the story, is controversial yet the message it gives is a life lesson which us, the young inexperienced people of this world will not understand and it is a known fact that we, humans, always get afraid of what we Don’t understand. You might not ‘get’ the story or you might not like it, but I’m sure you will understand it when you ponder upon it years after ‘surviving’. You will see what was taught to us through this game was true. And then The Last of Us Part II will be appreciated by each and everyone of you, I know. Please love the people who have given us this ‘change’. Love them because in this world where the world works on the basis of money, they dared to do something out of the box, which already is damaging them. Be happy that there are still such people that can dare to differ. Years from now on, this game will get all the praise that it deserves and then some. I know it. Trust me. Embrace this game. You will not regret it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here I leave the reflection I had about TLOU2.

    In Ellie's diary, in all the drawings she makes of Joel during the game she never drew his eyes, because the only memory that comes to mind when remembering him, is the look and the sad face he started to carry after the distance that the two started to have for Ellie having discovered what really happened in that hospital in the first game and saying that she would never be able to forgive him, despite being willing to try.

    And she felt so guilty for that, of not having forgiven him in time and saying how much she loved him and how important he was to her, that she was blinded by revenge just as Abby was in killing Joel.

    Before Abby met Ellie at the theater, we can see through a note that she writes in her diary, that she no longer knows why she chose to go on that journey, if she was still doing all that to avenge Joel's death or if the reason would be another (guilt)... She even hints that Joel would not support her decision to leave Jackson, as he always puts those he loves first.

    And, unfortunately, Ellie had to abandon everything she had and lose all the people she loved to understand that all that cycle of hatred, violence and revenge would not lead them to anything, because regardless of what they do, even if she killed Abby, nothing would bring him back and nothing would be able to numb the pain in a way that would make it easy.

    Most people hated the game because it has a bitter ending, but this is always the consequence of revenge.

    We felt all the pain that the search for revenge caused for Ellie added to the feeling of mourning for Joel death.

    This game is a masterpiece and shows us how much we should love and forgive those who are with us while there is still time and that is why it hurts so much and so many people hated it, because death does not announce its arrival, Joel died unexpectedly in a ridiculous way as we are all subject every day (and they mainly due to the context of an apocalypse).

    Abby in search of revenge and for all her selfishness lost Owen, Mel, Danny, Yara and all of her other friends, in addition to her tribe (the wolves).

    Ellie in search of Abby, also for revenge, lost Joel, Jesse, Tommy, Dina, JJ ... Some died and others left her ... But she lost what else had sentimental value to her, her ability to play guitar, the only connection she still had with Joel.

    BOTH lost many important people during their journeys, who would still be alive if they had not chosen the path of hatred and selfishness.

    So the phrase that defines this game is:

    "Before going out for revenge, dig two pits. Revenge is sweet, but for the bee costs its life."

    Another reflection, besides that revenge is not a worthwhile path to follow is that every coin has two sides and playing with Abby throughout the other half of the game we can understand this and understand her motivations so that she felt such a need to get revenge.

    We went into her history and we can understand everything that Joel took from her, because he was also selfish in that hospital to make a real slaughter leaving a huge trail of blood and killing innocent people in horrible ways just to save Ellie.

    In this game there are no dichotomies, as we see that each character is the hero of their own story, but if we analyze it broadly, there is no right and wrong, just like every war there are no villains, only two sides fighting for what they think the truth is.

    Anyway, The Last Of Us 2 is an incredible game that brings us endless reflections and it's okay not to like it, but all those who are giving it free hate comments, are dumb people who didn't take even a second of their lives to stop and reflect on history and in the game proposal!

    This game, in its proposal, was created to be realistic, not only in graphics and gameplay, but in content and history. And life rarely has happy endings. Life is also about loss, pain, hate... not just "lived happy ever after"... TLOU2 is there to make us feel this whole roller coaster of feelings... That's why it's amazing, because it's very difficult for a game, with fictional characters, to make you feel something in a personal way as I felt. That's why he is incredible. For the ability to touch people.    … 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.

    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]
