    Вся игра - это наглый обман, играющая на чувствах людей, прошедших первую часть, купивших игру чтобы вновь отправится в путешествие с полюбившимися героями. А в итоге пол игры играем за играем за безразличного нам персонажа. Вердикт, лучше бы эта часть не выходила.Вся игра - это наглый обман, играющая на чувствах людей, прошедших первую часть, купивших игру чтобы вновь отправится в путешествие с полюбившимися героями.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to give this game a 10/10 review, due to there are so many unreasonable negative reviews, and this game completes the whole story.

    First, the story is good, and it does not deserve like 3, 2 or even 0 of 10. I know some of the elements in this game might anger many people, such as SJW and multi-cultural as well. However, you can say you hate these elements, but you cannot destroy the game via some unreasonable and unreal reviews. I might only give it an 8 or 9 before I saw the whole internet is like bullying the creator and the team of this game. I really hate this phenomenon, like I am living in some kind of censorship country.

    Second, there is a reason it calls part 2 instead of the last of us 2. In my opinion, the last of us part 2 complete and extend the whole story behind the previous game in 2013. There must be a consequence when you against the world benefit to save personal interest, and the result is not just the dead of Joel. It is the struggle between Ellie and Abby. Obviously. Abby is a nice and ordinary girl who just wants to revenge her father's death, and she let Ellie, with killing intension, go twice. Does Ellie know it? Yes, she knows why Abby killed Joel, she knows Abby only goes to Joel, and She knows Abby let her go twice and did not kill Dina. This is the reason why Ellie's last trip is so unstable and with so many unsure. And it turns out, Ellie let Abby go when she can kill her. Because she found that what she wants is not Abby's death, it is not revenge. She just wants peace and the get rip of the moment of Joel's death. She is not sure that killing Abby can give her peace or not, so she does what Abby has done to her...let her go and never come back. There are so many things in this story... I am going to play the second round.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. Perfect gameplay, perfect story and atmosphere. In my opinion, people cannot rate this game if they don't play it by themselves. And it's really sad for my to see so small rate for this game...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love love LOVED this game! The gameplay was engaging and heart pounding. I enjoyed playing as Abby and found her story as captivating as Ellie’s. The symmetry and poetry between the twos stories was heart wrenching. In Haven the entire sequence on horse back had me crying and my palms sweating.

    While mentioning crying I can’t NOT talk about THAT scene. My breath was held the entire time and I could barely see it all through my tears. It was absolutely heartbreaking and I need to commend Ellie’s voiceactress as she did a superb job. I feel that the ending to the game for me was very lacklustre. Everyone was able to find some peace and instead of learning from the vicious cycle of revenge, pain, revenge, pain the story was showing; Ellie leaves her family only to attack Abby at her lowest and then no go through with it??? It felt.... shallow and like it missed the mark. Though I appreciated that they explored actual consequences for actions for Ellie. Overall the game was stunning and the story was gut wrenching, but missed some marks here and there. 9/10    … Expand

    This game pisses me off so much. It's a game that defecates on the original. The biggest reason is practically the messed up story. They killed Joel in the stupidest way possible, you spend hours doing parkour and looting, you have to spend ten hours as Abby, and you receive a disappointing ending that makes the entire adventure useless.

Every character is dumb, a psycho, an edgelord, or straight up an idiot. The few ones who could be good are often overshadowed and ruined by the retards around them, or just die randomly. Spent my playtrough laughing most of the time. The problem is that the game wants to be taken seriously, but it fails miserably after 2 hours. Forgettable cast and plot. The ending is got season 8 "subvert expectations" level garbage. A solid 6. Just skip the cutscenes. All of them.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - The graphics are amazing 10/10
    - Combat is also really good because you see how they tweaked the fighting from the first game to part II and how they added many more things,which i think create a good gaming experience. (at least for me it did) 9/10
    - Amazing cast 10/10

    Cons
    - Joel being killed off for shock value.
    I personally think that they should've killed him in part 3 or maybe not at all,because i just think that the whole idea of killing off the main protector is so overused nowadays in these post-apocalyptic games.
    - This game is full of forgettable characters
    - Character development that was developed in the first game was thrown out the trash in part II
    - They forced us to sympathize with abby
    - So many plot holes, like way to much
    - There were one to many parts that were unwanted and unnecessary
    - The ones who wrote the game apparently forgot what made the first game a masterpiece.The Last of Us isn't The Last of Us without Joel or Ellie.
    - Waited 7 years to just see one of the most beloved characters of the gaming industry tortured to death and then we see our little girl Ellie all alone and sad.Which is her worst fear by the way

    Ok,so i am gonna to stop yapping,sorry for the long read
    in Conclusion I think that there are good things about this game and a lot of bad things about this game as you can see.It killed me to see such a good story and characters go to waste.I am so disappointed in part II.The way they handled the original characters that we grew to know and love was just messed up,but i also wanna send a big thanks to everyone who put a lot of effort in this game.I think for me The Last of Us ended with the masterpiece that was the first one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll start of with the positive things about the game, gameplay is handled very well. They enhanced much more than the first game, with new mechanics and challenges. Better AI and of course new enemies with bug environments allowing you to be stealthy or aggressive with the amount of the room. Graphics are amazing and they did have some pretty cool levels. A couple of nice characters that were built upon. I do like Dina’s and Ellie’s relationship just wish it was more explored on. Cool zombie types, and love how bloaters we’re aggressive. Now with the main issues of the game. Joel’s death was disrespected, with him going out of character (even after 4 years I’m sure they would play it safe just as Tommy). That’s what bothers everyone. The character who built upon in the first game was spat on with a horrible death. He deserved a fitting end. If that’s a small issue you naughty dog it’s not since they should know how to Deliver a character’s beginning and end. The story was a huge mess, they way of how naughty dog structure it was painful and disappointing. Making you play Abby after the death acne of Jeese feels way worse and Joel’s killer. Trying to build empathy for her but we all had hatred towards her which was a horrible way of delivery on how the story was structured. Actually no the game forces you to like Abby, which is a horrible way showing the aftermath of this. There was no need to make the player have to play her as of how the game was structured. Abby felt very unrealistic, she shouldn’t have muscle like that and no I’m not saying that every women doesn’t have the ability to gain that. No I’m saying she shouldn’t have big muscles like that since it’s a zombie apocalyptic world we’re I’m sure they don’t have much food like that since there’s few resources just as every other supply. Ellie feels out of character in game just as Joel’s death, when we get to her beating Nora, she doesn’t feel as much pissed off as she was when she was killing David. Yes I understand they were both different situations but I felt it could’ve been handled better. David wanted to chop Ellie, but Nora was a person who stood along side with Joel’s death. Ellie should’ve hit Nora interrupting as she spoke of her immune system, making her talk, showing how mad she is, of how badly she wants this revenge. This game was made to be hatred as the first was love. But we don’t feel hatred from Ellie, just hatred from the fans of this game. Not to mention of how we don’t see Nora getting beaten up but we see Joel getting clubbed. Shows a bigger disrespect to the character. There’s not enough character development other than Ellie (a bit). We were also given the most unnecessary sex scene, no need to have that. Ellie didn’t feel as much emotional during the aftermath of Joel, which is what bothered me, along with Tommy. Not to mention the ending, it destroys Ellie, this isn’t a game of hatred or revenge anymore. Doesn’t even feel like a Last Of Us Game. It was about survival, now it’s about killing people and having sexual acts along with pointless events. This game is the biggest F U to the fans. Majority of the fans are going to pretend this never happened, everything could’ve been delivered better within the story. So far it’s the biggest F U to the fans and the company. I know Naughty Dog won’t survive this lost, not just because of the people who left the project, but the amount of disappointing fans. Creator of Naughty Dog, basically had sexual intercourse with every fan which did not give consent. Wish I did read the leaks, this made my brother having to suffer to fix the PS4, and buy The Last Of Us Part 2 twice due to issues of the PS4. As us fans get a F U from naughty dog, we give one back but one much harder. Never again to trust them and buy a product from them.… Expand

    A game in which I had high expectations for the first part, it was one of my favorite games. The simple story of a simple revenge, overly large areas to explore being a linear game to get 4 resources and the over-inclusiveness makes it a very boring game. I am sad that they destroyed a saga that could be unforgettable in a good way.

    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.
