    叙事有结构性问题。编剧在自我感动中设置了该剧情，让人厌弃自己所操控的角色，这是糟糕至极的游戏体验，我不得不讨厌该编剧。
    The narrative has structural problems. The screenwriter set the plot in self-movement, which makes people disgusted by the characters they control. This is a terrible game experience. I have to hate the screenwriter.

First, to be fair I love this game, part one It was like a masterpiece in all respects He did something new that I had never seen before I lived with the characters and lived with the terrifying world All enemies are humans or walkers unbelievable For me, it's the best game I've played in my entire life I got excited for the second part right away with the end of the first part I waited for many years to follow the news until the second part was officially announced I was excited to see this story complement ,

    finally after 7 years waited
    When I played the game in the first chapter, I could not believe what I saw Something amazing is the evolution that happened in the graphics Sounds and directing Reality ,
    I got so excited to move on To discover and see this amazing world And know what happened in the story , I was actually very disappointed I don’t know why the director wants to hate fans of the game ,
    He ended the life of a main character in the game Unacceptably He was killed by someone who saved her life ! Just very easy without any introductions , The director was not satisfied with that
    He tried to make us love a killer character (Abby) He has made her a bad story I played in it more than the main game character (Ellie) I just wanted this to end I've got bored

    He wanted to make (Abby) superhero And struggling With a very weak and very boring story , Rather, a more terrible act than that in one of the chapters made me control a (Abby) To kill a (Ellie) !

    I have reached some point in play I want to know what the end I want to take revenge for (Joel)
    In the end Nothing happened Just each one went his way

    (Abby) She survived what she did and make him superhero struggling ,
    (Ellie) Just forgot (Joel) what he did to her I also thought this was clear when I caught the guitar to play But she could not Because Abby cut her fingers Just put the guitar and the game is over !

    To be fair My rating is (4) Only for design and gameplay Also great soundtrack In general everything was a piece of art
    But the story is very bad Even worse than that .    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My brother and I were huge fans of the first game, the story and cinematic experience itself was unlike any other game that we had ever played. Never had either of us been so moved by a story before. The game play for the first game is not as smooth or good as part II. That's a given since it's been 7 years since the first game. TLOU Part 2 looks amazing in terms of graphics, game play, and voice acting. Despite that, both of us felt that the second game story wise, fell flat on it's face.

    The execution of Joel's death that happens and is in the beginning 2 hours of the game, to unwise and uncharacteristic decisions of Tommy and Joel, not balancing the game with lighter tones and jokes (like the first game), forcing you to play the game in a way where you wish you could make a different decision, makes it impossible to truly enjoy this game.

    After Joel gets killed, it's super difficult to even continue playing this game, since he's gone and you end up playing as Abby. In one word, I would describe this game as depression. It's hard to empathize with a character (Abby), who you know nothing about and you don't have an entire game to make a connection with her, unlike in the first game with Joel and Ellie.

    I think if the execution of the story was slightly altered, it could've been a phenomenal experience, but due to inconsistent writing that doesn't line up with the previous game, it's an utter disappointment.

    Story wise: 3/10.
    Character development: 5/10.

    Horrible story choices, so that's why it stays at a 3, since the first game story wise was a masterpiece.

    In the words of my brother, "I wish that I didn't waste 80$"    … Expand

The ending so anti-climactic borders on ridiculous. Imagine killing a good number of enemies without mercy even a pregnant one just to get to Abby but at the last minute Ellie let's her live. Is that story about revenge?… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game could have been great, I love the world this game takes place in so much and I think the level design as a whole is fantastic. Obviously it looks and sounds amazing and the acting is second to none. While the game play isn't fantastic I think it serves it's purpose just fine. Hell, there are even some elements of the story I liked but man, for the most part the story is a complete mess. This game introduced a ton of new characters, only 2 or 3 of them get any development or significant screen time and I'm expected to feel bad for killing them on more than a basic human empathy level. I think the biggest problem this game has is it's structure. There are scenes where I thought they were only there cause they didn't know where else to put them. If the game started with the three flashback scenes of Joel and Ellie and also Built up Abby in that time before she kills Joel the story would already be five times better than it already is. This game needed a better writer to fully take advantage of the themes that had been chosen.… Expand

    This game is an absolute masterpiece, kudos to Neil Druckmann and the Naughty Dog crew. Hands down the best, most immersive, emotionally draining, and intense video gaming experiences of my life. I can’t wait to immediately replay it.

    I am a huge fan of tlou. Though I try my best to lower my expectations , I find it hard to say that tlou2 is good RPG game. Everything except for the story is great, I'm especially impressed with the detailed character model and stunning physics effect (best ropes in video game history!).

    But this is a story focused RPG, therefore major flaws in storytelling are simply not tolerable.    I am a huge fan of tlou.

Characters don't behave consistently 2. Unlike it's predecessor, theme of this game feels somewhat distant for me. I found it hard to sympathize with the choices made by main characters. 3. I'm not happy with how some returning characters were portrayed. I have a lot of love for them, they deserve better.    … Expand

    It has one of the best stories ever the only minus point is that you play Abby for so long even though she is the one who killed joel, would have preferred to play Tommy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Нил Дракманн создал игру о том, чтобы ты попытался понять других людей, но ты не понял Нила Дракманна.

    Это печально.

    По сравнению с первой частью, эта игра реально шедевр. Эта игра на голову выше первой части, но фанбои не приняли смерть Джоэла, поэтому ставят нули.

    Сценарий и режиссура на высоте, на уровне топовых голливудских фильмов. каждая кат-сцена к месту и проработана до мелочей. Понятно абсолютно всё, не поймёт только слепой или тупой.

    С технической точки зрения тут тоже 10 из 10, никаких вопросов ни к графике ни к звуку нет. Дизайн локаций так же на высоте, куча, просто куча деталей, мелочей.

    По сравнению с первой частью, где Джоэл всю дорогу шёл и убивал пачками каких-то непонятных компьютерных болванчиков, здесь прописано и продуманно всё. Правда, не раскрыли особо Шрамов, но думаю, в ДЛС уделят им внимание. В остальном же проработка персонажей, сторон конфликта и сюжета в целом, повторюсь, на уровне отличных голливудских фильмов.

    Не знаю, что еще сказать. Скажу так, как посылку тем, кто ставит нули: Если вы не поняли посыла автора, то это не значит, что игра плохая. Если вы поняли посыл Автора, но он вам не понравился, то вы не поняли посыл автора.

    Игра крайне гуманна и она про гуманизм и понимание другого человека, через крайнюю жестокость, как художественный приём, Ноти дог говорят нам о милосердии и гуманности. Вот о чём эта игра. Начните уже понимать других людей, хватит делить мир на чёрное и белое. В мире нет плохих и хороших, черных и белых людей, все люди одинаковые.    … Expand

The graphics were phenomenal and I can’t believe this is not a PS5. Once more, Naughty Dog has shown us that video games are perhaps the best tools for story telling. What a game! Devastating ending and fulfilling in its own way. The reviews that comment on the political statement can go play some other game. Crime and Punishment isn’t an easy read, but it expands your ability to appreciate literature and makes you a better person for it. If you can’t handle it, there is Marvel.

The story is realistic and brutal. It doesn't hold your hand and expects you to understand how revenge works. A major theme in this story is that there are no heroes or villains in the real world. Just people who make good or terrible decisions. There is no main character and anyone can die anytime. In a world as brutal as this one, people rarely get a death that they deserved. If you can understand that, then you should like this game.

    In relation to other reviews. It's popular to hate on things in this day in age. It's ok to like things. But also, when reviewing a game it is important to look at it objectively. All aspects of this game are near perfect. The only thing that is controversial is the story. On that fact alone anyone giving ridiculously low scores like 0s or 1s obviously acting in bad faith because its fun to follow the hate train. Taking into account the quality of the game and my personal enjoyment of the story I believe the game warrants a 10/10. Regardless of the trolls and bandwagoners, those who are genuine about their dislike/hate for the game's story show that they care in some manner and felt some kind of emotion. A game that can draw emotion from people is proof that there is something to be emotional about. Therefore, If you're slightly curious, play it first then form your own opinions.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Waited 7 years for this game, thought there was no way ND could make a bad sequel. Holy cow was I wrong. Game starts out pretty solid, iffy on Joel dying in the first roughly two hours, but whatever. Then we get to play as Abby... I have never cared about any character or subplots less than her’s. We don’t care about her and Owen. We don’t care about the crammed-in war against the Seraphites. We don’t care about any of that. ND somehow found a way to water down the specialness of their own main character in their own game. The whole “two sides of the same coin” gimmick just feels tacky and subtle as a sledgehammer. Ellie collects trading cards, Abby collects coins. Ellie couldn’t swim, Abby can’t be up high in the air. Mel was pregnant, so was Dina. You can’t make this stuff up, they really thought they were onto something with this. And don’t give me any of that anti lgbt or transphobic stuff, Abby being masculine has nothing to do with my critique or mostly anyone’s. Makes the sex scene a little off-putting (yeah you get a good look at her naked in the game) but it’s not a valid reason to dislike her. Her inclusion, body type and looks aside, is still the main thing that ruins this game. It’s almost as if ND gave us Ellie to focus on and care about and gave us Abby almost like how your mom made you take your younger sibling with you to places as a kid; you’re still having some fun, but man did they REALLY have to come too?

    In conclusion if you’ve read this far- game was good until they shoehorned Abby in there and expected us to like her. Could’ve been a great game but ND dropped the ball.    … Expand

But it was performed in a way that all fans are supposed to feel on purpose and to make this as spoiler-free as possible without giving away too much. Here are my pros and cons of what I think of this game as a whole

    Pros:

    1.) The gameplay is nice, fluid, and immersive to play

    2.) Graphics are nicely detailed and cinematically visual/appealing

    3.) Sound designs are amazing

    4.) The story is epic and unique in a way that you thought you could never feel with such a high variety of emotions

    5.) Acting is phenomenal and highly underrated

    Cons:

    1.) Part of the narratives in the story could've been changed for a better outcome

    2.) Some character developments needed some slight improvements

    Verdict: The Last Of Us Part 2 is a great game and originally I was gonna give this a 10 or 9 but with the story narratives making me feel bittersweet in some ways and thinking of what direction should the franchise go next if a Last Of Us Part 3 were to be made next in the future. Overall I give The Last Of Us Part 2 an 8/10 simply because of the fact that I still had fun playing this game and the experience that I had with the story was really interesting to see. The last thing I want to mention is that for this review on Metacritic I'm gonna put the score as a 10/10 since I want to be generous to show my support for the game and even though my actual rating is still an 8/10 for me but in my opinion, I thought this felt right to do. :)    … 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.
