    Шедевральный проект, в плане прорабоотки графики, стрельбы, физики так и в плане сюжета.
    Да есть повестка ЛГБТ, но это не значит, что игру нельзя нормально оценивать в плане сюжета.

    Here I am two weeks after finishing the game and still giving thought to the entire experience. The story and depth of the characters is nuanced, gritty and emotionally poignant. The fact that so many are angry is a testament to how beloved the characters are. Thematically the equivalent of 'No Country for Old Men' for the gaming industry. People will be talking about this one for years.

    Barring some pacing issues, this game is innovative, bold, and makes some incredibly risky story decisions that pays off for me. Been thinking about it ever since I beat it. Bravo Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann!

    I finished my second play through of the game and it is a masterpiece to me. Are there areas of opportunity? Of course... all games have them.

Play super stealthy and slow if you want, but the fast paced, jumping off boxes, hurdling through windows all while avoiding bullets and taking down “bad guys” was so much more satisfying for me! There was some clunkiness i experienced when interacting with objects, but otherwise this gameplay was phenomenal.
    The story was compelling and challenging. I have seen many people argue that this was the weakest element of the game, but I would disagree. I do not agree that people “acted out of character” or that there were pacing issues. I genuinely appreciated the direction and end result.
    Graphics... no comments needed. All in all, I loved the game. Wonderful experience!    … Expand

    Way better than everyone is saying, people just overhype stuff too much. just because it doesn’t meet overly high expectations doesn’t mean it’s bad...

    Not the game I was expecting but in the best possible way. Expands and refines the last of us gameplay and plot along with some of the best graphics of this generation.
    If you want more of the same from the first game, you won’t get it, and tonally it has a very different feel, but it is it’s equal in every respect.

    This game challenges you to think from multiple perspectives. The people who dislike this game seem to miss the point. The developers have done something different here and I personally love it.
    They have gone all out with this game and it sure plays out like a movie, even during gameplay sometimes, which is really impressive.
    Also, finishing this game will leave you emotionally devastated.

The game does it perfectly. No body is safe, no one is invincible. And it shows us that one's actions are not always good for everyone. I do understand that the game is not for everyone. But I cannot understand why some poeple would give it a zero. It is visually stunning. The story is long, complex and so enjoyable. The gameplay is even better than the first game. It should be at least a 7/10, but for me, it's a 10, without a doubt. It is the best game I have played in my entire life. Period. A game so deep and so powerful will always stay in my top.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game that expertly depicts the cycle of revenge and violence that only leads to despair. By playing as both the characters Abby and Ellie it allows you to see both sides of the story and how they mirror each other, leading to the answer that neither character is good or bad, and is just human. On top of this you have some of the best graphics I have ever seen in a video game and gameplay that has expanded on the original. There is a lot of hate towards the game promoting a social agenda by including multiple LGBTQ characters, dont belive all the negative reviews held by those that are posting hate for the pure reason of intolerance to others in society.… Expand

    It's a game about giving up everything you love for revenge. It's about you being the villain in someone else's story. It's about feeling empathy by putting yourself in another person's shoes. This game broke my heart, and I loved every minute of it.

    I’m pretty confused about all the “controversy” because this game has it all. It has a gripping story, very well written and complex characters, incredible gameplay. Beautiful environments. It’s an emotional roller coaster in the absolute best way! So much replayability and it’s such a satisfying length. You won’t regret picking this one up.

    It's 2020, I like to believe we live in a modern society, where bigots do not have rights to threat and insult people. (Ok, I know we are not living in a modern society, 2020 is actually a great indicator for that).

    Brilliant game. Don't know why it's being review bombed. Must be jealous xbox and pc fan boys who wish they had a game half this good. But if you enjoyed the first, you will like this. The story can be dividing for some, but I understand why they did it. It will make you think and challenge you. And in the end it is awesome.

It's okay to not think this game is a masterpiece, and to have problems with some aspects of the story, but anyone raving about how it's a disgrace to the characters and the world of the first game etc can honestly just f*** right off. If they'd understood the message and themes of the first game, then they would realise that TLOU II shows the consequences of decisions made by character's in the first game, absolutely true to the world ND created. To claim otherwise is just wrong.

    For me, this game is a 10, but it took me a while to come to that conclusion. I had to take a week away from video games after I finished the story. Not intentionally, but I just didn't have the heart to play anything else. This game was extremely difficult to play at times. But it's also the most fully formed and outrageously effective attempt at an immersive, narrative-driven video game that I've ever seen. Its absolutely outstanding.

    After the first couple of hours I was so invested in what was happening, why it was happening and where the story would go that I just sort of melted into the world and the story that ND are telling. It's hard to discuss any story and/or character moments without going into spoilers, but sufficed to say it's Naughty Dog's biggest and most ambitious game yet. It's probably also the most challenging game I've ever played.

    There are more than a few moments where I DID NOT want any part of what was happening on screen, and that's because this game does not shy away from showing you some really **** up **** Like, truly haunting, harrowing **** Animal lovers in particular beware. I'm the sort of guy that cries anytime a dog gets hurt or dies in a movie. **** I cry whenever dogs are happy, like those videos where their owner returns from overseas and they can't handle their excitement and joy. There there are moments where I felt sick with guilt while playing through Ellie's story.

    The violence is never gratuitous however, at least not in my opinion. It's raw and graphic and feels extremely real, but ultimately this game is a discussion about violence, obsession, and about revenge. It asks you as the player to think about how far you would go for revenge? How far is too far? Is revenge justified when it's born out of love for someone, to want to get payback for them? It shows the fallout of actions made when people let violence and anger envelop them. And it shows them in graphic detail. But it's also a story about love, grief, acceptance, and change. I genuinely believe it to be a much deeper story than some give it credit for. Again, tough to say more without spoilers. I'll leave it by saying that ND did the impossible with regard to the story they chose to tell. And I am so thankful that they did.    … Expand

    I don't normally post reviews, but I had to for this. The amount of vitriol and hate for the story told in The Last of Us 2 shows us two things:

    Secondly, it shines a light on the unbelievable lack of empathy in our modern lives. People are just so unwilling to see the world from someone else's perspective that they're prepared to send death threats to actors who portray characters in a story. Shame on them.

    Naughty Dog's storytelling in this game is just beyond anything I've ever played, and being a part of it makes it so much more connected than any film or a book. The emotion this story brings out in people (positive and negative) is so intense and raw that it leaves a huge mark. I don't know what more there is to ask from a piece of entertainment. This is the absolute pinnacle of gaming.    … Expand

    Brilliant game. Think most of the hate comes from people reading the leaks and deciding they didn’t like it before even playing it. Combat and stealth are easily the best I’ve played in any game. Stunning graphics and a great story that makes you feel everything the characters are feeling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had to create an account to rate this. The game is an absolute 10. No matter the pettiness of thousands of users that simply saw the leaks and already made up their minds, this game is not meant to please the player in the sense we are used to. Nor did the first game do that, let's be honest here, the ending was absolutely brutal in what seemed a perfect bitter sweet story.

    The combat and the stealth in this game are easily one of the best out there. It's an absolute masterpiece in this regard.

    Now people are mad about the story, but the game has a compelling and brilliant told story. It makes you see similarities from different points of views. You are forced to do things that get under your skin, but since the ending of the first game (at the very least) that has been the point of this series. You are initially resistant to play as others characters, but they grow, you begin to see how similar they are to the characters you love and are so mad about throughout it's gameplay.

    It's a disruptive game. Unique, even. It is absolutely a must play.    … 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.
