    Definitely people expected better story like part 1 and me too,but Nautghy Dog worked on this so hard and they also made a good story for showing the cruel world of The Last Of Us.

Было очень много переживаний насчёт продолжение the last of us, однако игра не только оправдало ожидания, она их превзошла, naughty dog сделали очередной шедевр.С технический точки зрение сложно представить игру которая превзашло бы эту,Невероятно внимание к мельчайших деталям.С точки зрения повествования она очень драматичное местами очень трогательное.Но после концовки меня преследовало чувство грусти и опусташение.Путь к мести очень тернистое и тот кто пойдет по этому пути потеряет многое.… Expand

    This is a Brutal game in many aspects. It looks beautiful, it sounds beautiful and it plays beautifully. At the same time It's like watching a Clint Eastwood movie, so it's emotionally challenging and taxing. I believe that 's the reason a lot of people dislike it but that is not to say this is not objectively a good game, make no mistake, this IS a very good game.

    This game is a technical masterpiece. Incredible gameplay and world building through exploration. Lots of people can't cope with the story, because some bad things happen to beloved characters. This is subjective- lots of fans want challenging storytelling, rather than pandering fairytales. The world of The Last of Us II is screwed up- of course things are going to get dark.

    If you have only watched gameplay online or read spoilers, you should still try playing this game - after all, it's a video game- not a film. It needs to be played- you will be put into the shoes of some very complex characters, but if you invest the time, the payoff is incredibly moving (and redemptive!)

    I am suspicious of all the negative reviews before it was possible to complete this 26+ hour film- I think lost of people just saw spoilers or streamers playing and decided it was trash. But you should only take reviews seriously that have actually played the game- not everyone will love it, but many will think it's an even better game that the first! I actually might consider myself among them- gotta start my second playthrough to be sure :)    … Expand

(Spoiler free) The Last of Us part 2, is an experience that will push your buttons, make you hate the developers, make you curse at its charecters, will make you cry because you can't control your anger anymore. Naughty Dog has always rewarded our faith with their games. Except for this one. This game will either build you up to a better you, or make you hate Naughty dog for the rest of your life. Sometimes we get so attached with certain emotions that we lose sight of what's right and what's wrong. This is the game where you will feel wrong when you do the right things, and you will feel right, doing the wrong things. The game will make you question your morals and ethics with everything you go through in this game. With a near flawless gameplay mechanics , and breathtaking visuals you are about to experience something that you don't want to experience , but is necessary to experience as human beings. The Last of Us part 2, is an incredible game. However, as a Gamer I may never be able to forgive Naughty dog because of the mental breakdown they put me through, because of one thing which I can't mention because of spoiler purposes. But maybe one day, I'd like to try. My rating as a Gamer- 7/10

    My rating as a critique- 9/10

    If you never played The Last of Us , you will highly likely love this game, but if you did play the first one, you will most likely never forgive Naughty Dog. - Nahian Kjellberg Punk    … Expand

    Very disappointing for the last of us brand. The characters have very unbelievable actions and motivations. The ending it very drawn out and unnecessarily bad and defeats the whole purpose of the game. Sad to see a AAA title of a beloved series sh!t it’s own pants and throw all it’s progress down the toilet.

I think Naughty Dog spent too much time “empowering everyone” that they lost sight of that was important. This game stopped being The Last of Us halfway when the player is forced to play as Abby. No matter how much they tried I never cared for her story especially because of the plot structure. There are dozens of ways they could have made this a more compelling game but instead we got an absolute mess of a plot that has no meaning at all until the very end. I didn’t find the game terribly woke but the story itself is the major problem and ruined my memory of the franchise forever. Please don’t make another one. That plea extends to the HBO show too.… Expand

    Most people hated the death of a "certain character", but it was a necessary step to make you feel the emotions other characters felt during the game, it justifies some later actions of characters.

I do agree that this death was a little bit stupid, they could have done a much better job at setting the scenes that lead to that moment, because this "certain character" had a completely different personality that wouldn't lead to this at all. Gameplay is a bit old fashioned but they managed to make it fresh, and it becomes boring as you approach the end of the game. Animations and cutscene transitions are probably the best I've ever seen in a game. The main point of games is to make you feel invested and that's what this game did, well at least to me. Although the plot can be summarized in one word, the story is the emotin that was shown durin the whole game, it's actually really close to the first game in that department, it is weaker that the first game but it has the same idea where the plot was search for fireflies buf story was Joels coping with loss of his daughter. I would have given this game an average score of 7 but there were some scenes that really binded this whole story together and made it wort to play, at least to me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, while the game has an incredible graphics and improved the first game in gameplay, something that already seemed difficult because the first game is a masterpiece, I was terribly disappointed by some creative decisions, such as the fact that in the preview videos of the game in previous years, it could be seen that Joel was alive during the story, as in the scene where he prevents Ellie from being discovered by the Wolves, a scene that they later replaced with Jesse, in addition to the first preview showing that Joel He accompanies Ellie in her revenge when she is playing the guitar and says "I am going to find and kill every last one of them", so in my personal opinion, they sold me a story and the one I bought was a totally different one, in addition to I do not know a living person who, in his right mind, when his father or father figure is killed in this case, kills everyone and lets the murderer live. I loved the story, I liked the inclusion of Abby, but the fact of killing Joel, made him play every minute with a feeling of frustration. We are waiting for this game for many years, we are going through a pandemic at this time, in which this game would have made a difference, by making the lives of many happy this year, that we are having a really bad time and that we save money for this game, money that could be spent on more important things. A real shame.… Expand

Gameplay and graphics aside(they're amazing), the story is absolutely horrible, we waited SEVEN YEARS to see Joel again, and he gets killed in the most humilliating, incoherent and forced way possible. The false marketing they made with this game is also pathetic. Nobody cares about Abby, no matter how hard they tried to humanize or makes us sympathize with her. This is the worst game Naughty Dog has ever made.… Expand

    Was a huge fan of the original story. Though to be honest, I only played it through once as I wasn't really into the mechanics of the game-play. As you could imagine then, I was only invested in seeing how this fictional world and the characters within it would develop in the sequel (whilst trying to avoid the spoilers of course).

    Here's my takeaway after experiencing this lengthy game: ND focused on furthering the dystopian angle together with a revenge-based plot driver, which sounds like the makings of a very compelling and tense game on paper. However, without balancing it with any humanity from any of its characters, the world just feels like a hollow sandbox for clickers, dog murderers and bigots with the central characters feeling artificial because their personalities and actions are just ticking boxes instead of driving a compelling story.
    It's a real shame, but I just can't score this above a 4 as it just didn't work for me as a story. Full credits to the design and software teams behind it though, who created a super-high quality graphical experience! I heard that people who work at ND are treated inhumanely during the crunch period, so they deserve much much more than this for their talents!    … Expand

    The story mirrored Uncharted 4 in some of its themes - Nathan & Sam couldn't quit hunting the treasure despite the damage it was doing to their relationships, and the increasing danger to their lives. They had the option to stop and go home several times, but chose to continue anyway. They knew the risk, but had to see it through. It's very human to become focused on one goal, and lose sight of everything else on the way.

    TLOU2 requires an amount of emotional empathy on the players part. You will need to think about what is going on in someone else's head. It may not conform to how you feel at the time, but you have to be capable to discard your thoughts and feelings and empathise with someone else. You're an actor in a story, rather than a participant making choices.

    Just like the real world, there are no good or bad people. We just do what we think is right at the time, and our actions have either negative or positive consequences, based on your viewpoint. We are all also imperfect - we make mistakes, and we make irrational choices based on our emotions.

    The game makes a point of making the player reconsider their first impressions, and perhaps admit to themselves that what they thought originally was not entirely correct. We are all guilty of instantly judging a person based on a single action, without knowing the full context about why they would do it.

    "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

    I thought the cinematic direction, cinematography, acting and story were all excellent. I found the gameplay very enjoyable too. No game is perfect, but by current gaming standards, this is as good as it gets. 10/10    … Expand

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
