    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. То , как гениально манипулирует игроком Neil Druckmann- мое почтение. Постоянно разное состояние. Полярно разное. После первых двух часов (после главного спойлера ) , у вас только одно желание , разъебать всех нахуй , и по ходу компании за Элли , вам показывают море флешбеков , в которых только подогревается ваша жажда мести(в этот момент вы агресивно настроены на месть , но и не можете не умиляться этими теплыми моментами с Джоелом , вы чувствуете все на себе , буквально , как будто вы потеряли близкого человека , и вот эта потеря - перерастает в месть , которая движет не только Элли но и вами , вы на какой-то момент становитесь Элли, и чувствуете все на себе ) у вас есть цель. Мое личное ощущение на тот момент - завалить всех , кто встретится на пути , и если будет выбор между пощадой и местью , я выберу месть.
    Во второй половине игры , вам показывают обратную стороны медали , и именно тут вам объясняют , почему был убит главный герой первой части. И момент из первой половины игры , выглядит уже не так однозначно. Игра на какой-то момент охлаждает ваше трахание по поводу мести и , скажем так , делает РЕЛОАД вашего сознания , и теперь , вы с чистой головой начинаете проникаться "Антагонистом" , у которого затянутая сюжетная линия , но она необходима , ибо вы должны полностью прочувствовать атмосферу главного героя , что это не просто убийца , как мародеры из первой части , которые палили по всем подряд , а это самый обычный человек , который как и все выживали , который как и все любили , пытались построить новую цивилизацию в постапокалиптическом мире , но в жизни Эбби происходит переломный момент , после которого уже все рушится. И Эбби , и Элли выходят на тропу мести. И Дракманн показывает нам , к чему приводит эта жажда мести. И финальные сцены на ферме , это очень сильно , и эмоционально передают. Дракманн показывает , до чего может довести тебя месть, в погоне за местью , ты можешь потерять все , и остаться у разбитого корыта. Именно к этому и подводит вас игра. Играя первую половину за Элли , как я уже говорил , вы на себе ощущаете все переживания Элли. И именно поэтому , после прохождения всей игры у вас остается чувство пустоты , единственное , ради чего вы жили(играли) - пройдено. Но какой ценой ? Ценой потери всех близких людей, которые были готовы на все ради вас, которые искренне любили вас , но вам было наплевать на это , пока вы все это не потеряли.
    Лично мои ощущения после игры - опустошение. Полное опустошение. Музыкальное сопровождение + полное осмысление игры - пробило на слезы . И все время , пока шли титры , я рыдал. Это лишь часть того , что хотел передать Дракманн.
    И пожалуйста , никогда не судите о игре , фильме , книге и т.п , по ее обложке.    … Expand

    O jogo foi inundado com a nojenta agenda LGBT, extremamente desnecessário. Criar essas narrativas só pra destruir o jogo, além de outros furos na história e destruição de personagens amados do primeiro jogo. Conseguiram, queriam ser modinha e eis o resultado.

Visually it’s a stunning game, but lacks a little emotional engagement. I haven’t connected so far with the characters I’ve met or played, yet I’m almost 25 hours in. Because of the limited resources, you’re forced to scour every area to stock up for the next inevitable battle and that takes some time. This is quite laborious due to the fact some of the locations are quite disorienting and you can end up going round in circles. It’s because of this I’m now powering through and hoping I don’t have much left to do, so I can re-sell it and still make some decent money.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start off my review for this game I would like to say I thoroughly enjoyed and loved the first game and played it multiple times.

    The Last of Us Part 2 has been one of those games I have been waiting for since Naughty Dog first announced it. That was when some spoilers got leaked and people started to hate on the game, I was one of the people who didn't actually look at any spoilers and did my best to avoid anything relating to those spoilers.

    Since the game came out the game has had nothing but praise on one side while hate on the other.

    I have just completed the game and my god i really enjoyed the game and liked the characters. I was originally going to give the game a 9/10, but I have had time to think about the game, story the gameplay, the mechanics, the character development, the deaths and most importantly the story.

    The game as a whole is no where near as bad as what people are making it out to be, especially on the story side of it. Originally i really hated Abby but once i started playing as her I began to like and understand why she did what she did.

    People need to remember Joel wasn't a good guy and I really like Joel, but with all the people he killed it was bound to catch up to him at some point.

    By the time i got to the end of the game I was at the edge of my chair simply because the two characters I grew to like in this game were facing off and one minute I was hating Ellie, the next I felt sorry for her.

    That is the point of the story though, it isn't meant to be the same sort of thing that we are used to where we can predict whats going to happen where the writers do their best to please the fans. Naughty Dog did what they wanted to do and told the story they wanted. We as the audience have to play the game and experience what is being told to us. Due to how it is different to other games it seems that people don't like it.

    I do understand that it isn't a game for everyone.

    For me though I personally loved it from start to finish.

    Now onto some the Positives and Negative.

    Positives
    - The game mechanics are some of the best I have seen in gaming
    - The character development is spot on
    - When playing you feel apart of the world
    - It is quite sad in a good way of course which at me in tears at different moments
    - It was tense
    - Had some good scares
    - The skill system as been improved massively compared to the first
    - The graphics OH MY GOD IT IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL
    - The story was tense, beautiful, different and emotional.
    - The voice acting and performances are some of the best I have ever seen in gaming

    Negatives
    - Certain very small sections dragged on longer than needed
    - I came across some glitches, which didn't brake the game but did take me out of the moment for a few seconds.
    - small sections also needed more to it.

    OVERALL
    I personally really enjoyed the game, the story and the work Naughty Dog put into this.

    My advice for anyone who is thinking of playing this game is to go into it open minded and to play the game Naughty Dog want you to play/experience.

    If you are unsure on whether you'll like it my advice is to watch some gameplay, wait for it to go down in price or even borrow it from a friend.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played both. Didn't read spoilers. Wasn't sure I was gonna love 2 as much as 1. Thought a basic revenge story would be boring. People on the internet are skimming through this game as if it were a reading assignment due the next day (it shows). The game tells a complex tale of coping with grief, challenging you to objectively humanize the enemy, and themes of evolving identity analogous to the first game. Along with a ton more that I know I missed on my first playthrough. If you are on the fence about playing this game stop reading reviews, stop watching content, just find a way to play the game yourself. The experience is powerful if you just allow yourself to experience it organically. Or... Continue to spread negativity and gain nothing but contempt from others I.e. post comments about a game you truly never attempted to care about in a futile attempt to get revenge for a plotline that you disagree with. The game won't change and you being mad about it does nothing about it sales figures 4 million copies in 3 days. Learn to move on.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game and I think all the hate from it stems from the fact that people were unable to approach this game with an open mind and they shut down once Joel died. Joel was not a great man, he's done a lot of **** up **** in the first game (torture in the Winter chapter, saving Ellie and essentially dooming humanity) and before the first game (he said he was a Hunter at one point).

    The game looks and plays incredibly well, but I want to use this to talk about the story, which it seems most people have an issue with.

    Killing Joel is a great way to kick off the story and get Ellie moving. It made me mad when Joel died and, like Ellie, I was ready to go and get some revenge. I found that Dina made for a good partner, she balances Ellie's recklessness well and provides caring and contrast to Ellie's sheer determination and bloodthirsty focus. Alternately, Jessie shared Ellie's desire for revenge and willing to kill, but unlike Ellie, he has clear lines on how far he is willing to go and doesn't hesitate to separate himself from her when he feels she's going too far. When I was playing as Ellie, I felt determined to go hunt the WLF and murder Abby.

    So, when the gameplay switched and I started playing as Abby at the zoo, I felt a little hesitant, but also curious. Upon learning WHY she went to kill Joel, I felt a much deeper understanding of her. When I saw the time turn back to Seattle Day 1 as Abby and I realized I was going to have to do three days as Abby, I'll admit, I felt like the momentum of the story had been utterly halted, and I was a little upset to have to (in a sense) "restart". However, I put the feelings aside, kept an open mind, and started to work my way through it. I very quickly started to see what Naughty Dog was doing, which is something they didn't do in Part 1. They were humanizing all sides of the story: Ellie, Abby, the WLF, and the Seraphites. In Part 1, you had horse blinders on and were focused just on Ellie and Joel and what Ellie and Joel were doing and how Ellie and Joel felt, which is fine, but what they did in Part 2 made for a very interesting experience. I came to enjoy playing as Abby and when I came back to the aquarium on Day 3 and saw Owen dead on the floor, I was ready to kill Ellie. The fight between the two of them was intense for me and I wanted Ellie to die, but also wanted Abby to die. Regardless of what would have happened, I felt like it was going to be justified.

    When time skipped ahead and saw Ellie with Dina on their farmhouse, it filled me with a sense of joy that Ellie finally had a calm life. However, when she had her panic attack in the barn, that was the part of the game that made me cry (the game had previously made me very emotional and teary-eyed, but no tears falling). I felt so bad for her that despite her seemingly peaceful life, she was filled with so much conflict still. When she packs her bag and leaves Dina and I saw that there was STILL more to the game, I felt a massive sense of dread and a desire for it to just end. I had grown attached to both characters and I didn't want either of them to get hurt. It felt like being on a rollercoaster that stops and starts to slowly roll backward, which was a feeling that I don't think a video game has given me before.

    I loved playing in Santa Barbara, that sort of dry environment hadn't been shown in either Part 1 or Part 2, and it looked beautiful. By the time Ellie reaches Abby, both of them are beaten to hell and back and when Ellie fights Abby, it feels like she's doing it not because she still wants to, but there's a part of her that feels like she has to. She looks exhausted. She stops because she has that flashback of Joel, her last conversation with him, where she says she doesn't know if she'll be able to forgive him, but she'd like to try. I think part of her desire to kill Abby stems from the fact that she never got to forgive Joel, and if she can't forgive Joel, maybe she can forgive Abby. When she returns home, she finds her home empty, Dana and JJ are gone, no note. She finds her guitar and tries to play it, but cannot, due to her lack of fingers.

    The reason I give this a 9 and not a 10 is because a part of me wishes the game would have ended here (or after she sets down the guitar and walks out of the room after a few moments of stillness) and the flashback would have come while she was fighting Abby instead of after she plays guitar. Maybe that would have been too direct though. I just love the face she makes when she stops playing guitar. She realizes that in her pursuit to get justice, Jessie died, Tommy has a limp and lost an eye, Dana and JJ left her, and now she can't even play guitar, her last tie to Joel. She makes a face that is rich with realizing that she lost more than she gained and wonders if it was worth it in the first place.    … Expand

    This game destroyed everything I loved about the first game. It is filled with characters that the game force you to immediately adore. It is a dark game with no light in it. It is just another empty revenge story. It doesn't bring anything new to the table. Kinda like new Star Wars trilogy . Very dissapointing after 7 years of wait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Many of the still negative reviews are based on people who have barely played the game, or barely understood the deeper meanings of the game. Its definitely divisive and not for everyone, but sometimes for the wrong reasons. That said, I'm gonna get right into it. Joel Miller. He lost his daughter Sarah right at the start of the outbreak, and got separated from his brother Tommy. This would be Joel's entire world coming crashing down on him. For 20 years, he dealt in the Black Market, killed a lot of people and infected to survive. Probably done worse. Then he meets Tess. Tess probably would've been able to make Joel feel some degree of normalcy again. Maybe he would've had another kid. But Tess got bit and she passed, shortly after Joel met our favorite snarky and bratty teen, Ellie. They hated each other at first, man. Ellie would never listen to him, and she had such a mouth! It was hilarious at times. Joel got sick and was injured on top of it. Ellie had to go find medicine for him. After a while Joel started to get attached to her like she was his own daughter. Maybe he was finally able to move on from Sarah's death. Now we fast forward, and The Fireflies have realized how they can develop a vaccine (This is already point #1 and 2. A lot of it has to do with Spores, which is in the *air*, like a regular virus or infection.) using Ellie's mutated cordyceps growth. The only catch, is they'd have to kill her to remove it. Joel hears this and he is definitely not having it. This girl just made Joel start to be human again. Slowly getting rid of that hardened survivor exterior. He has a little girl to love again. He won't let anyone take that away from him, and even if it meant only being able to spend more time with her, he doesn't care about keeping the truth from her. Its a horrible, terrible, selfish act of love that anyone normal would find trouble parsing the morality of. This is what The Last of Us and Part II are all about. Not the black, and not the white. The GREY. Joel kills Dr. Jerry Anderson, Abby's father. He didn't have to. He could have knocked him out, maybe shot him in the legs. But he wasn't taking the chance of being chased. Joel even then kills Marlene, essentially Ellie's caretaker/surrogate mother. Joel tells Ellie her immunity had no purpose, that it meant nothing, because there are other immune people. Dozens, he says. This is another lie, of course. I love Joel, but that was all messed up. Fast forward to Joel and Ellie settling down in their new life in Jackson, Wyoming. Tommy and Joel specifically have fought barely any infected the past nearly 5 years, never mind people, sometimes only running into 1 or 2, or not even any at all. Imagine how much more relaxing their life is. Jackson has a welcoming policy when it comes to stragglers/strangers, and allowing them in the city. Thats why Joel saves Abby without a second thought and trusts her. Even going through Joel's house, HIS HOME, you can see how he has changed. He plays guitar on his porch at night, enjoying the peace. He woodcarves. He has a little picture of himself that Ellie drew for him. And its FRAMED! Joel got his life back, man! So before judging Joel's character simply because he "lets his guard down"....think of how his humanity has returned to him...! Joel over these years slowly got rid of the "everyone is an enemy" survivor mentality. This game is NOT a revenge story! Its ALSO a story about love, empathy, forgiveness and redemption. The reason we don't play as Abby first, or see her story first, is to show us a preview of what Ellie could and does become, going down the same path that Abby did. Showing us the cost and what it takes, what you lose in a quest for revenge. Ellie's journey sparked from her love for Joel, and Abby's for her love for her dad. There are so many layers to this story overall (part 1 and part 2 both) that its nearly impossible to address it all. Whether you enjoy this story hinges on whether you can understand Joel's death and Abby and move past protagonist bias, which is why its so important to address it. Abby's side of the story is about how her revenge has affected her, and what she finds to forgive herself and redeem herself, in caring for and protecting Lev and (to a tragic extent) Yara. At the end, Abby carries Lev away...just like Joel carried Ellie away. Ellie sees this and realizes what SHE has also lost. After fighting Abby she remembers her last night with Joel, and how she never got the chance to FORGIVE HIM, and can't forgive *herself*. Ellie might have never been able to forgive Joel. But she was willing to try. Abby might never forgive Ellie for Owen, Mel, and her other friends, but she was willing to try. Sparing her THREE TIMES! There's so much. It might be a bit messy, but I hope this gets the points across. Maybe this was more critical than I expected! Open your mind! Because I don't think any game should get a perfect 10, The Last of Us Part II gets a 9/10 from me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Phenomenal sequel. I went into this game with quite a bit of worry due to the abundance of negative reviews regarding the narrative choices. One of the major gripes being a particular scene involving a golf club. That scene set up the character Abby. That scene made me despise her and want nothing more than to hunt her down in as Ellie in an epic revenge story.

    The story ended up making me love and understand Abby as a character and completely understand and sympathize with her motives. It made me realize the impact of Joel's actions in the first game, and that the impact of those actions were felt on more than just faceless NPC's.

When carrying each gun you can really sense their weight. The in-game graphic is breathtaking, from lightening to objects' textures to NPC meshes. The cutscenes are a jaw-drop thanks to the meticulous and deep work the animators put in the facial expressions.
    Sound design and music are really well balanced and timed throughout the entire gameplay. They drop you into the environment as if you were living every MC's breaths.
    And now the crucial point: the Story. The nonlinear narrative is so well done that I think it's the strength of this game. Two parallel stories told one after the other to challenge the player. They wanted us to wear the shoes of 'the bad guy'. But we quickly realize that there's no hero, there's no villain, there are just people surviving a world that has lost rules and civilization. Everyone fights its own battle for their own sake. Joel's death wasn't epic. Ellie's desire for revenge wasn't fulfilled. And that's the best they could do! Death isn't epic. There's no glorious (Marvel like) death here, there is just a cold butchered body. Even if I loved Joel in TLoU and I'd have loved to play him more.
    But I don't buy videogames to play my story. I can live my story in my dreams. When I buy a game I want it to surprise me, to encourage me to see things from different points of view. Otherwise, I will always be blind.

    This is the only game I have ever played where at the beginning I was killing everyone in my way and at the end I was intentionally avoiding conflicts. Too bad for those who are too stubborn to see from other's perspective. This game really was developed for a certain persona.

    The first game was about survival and understanding how it feels to lose close loved ones!
    Then trying to reconnect with newly formed loving relationships all while again... trying to survive! The "second chapter" to this beautiful remarkable fkn game is about everything the last game was about but with the "REVENGE" element added! If you ever    This review will be short and simple!

    The "second chapter" to this beautiful remarkable fkn game is about everything the last game was about but with the "REVENGE" element added! If you ever watched or read a great revenge story you will understand what i'm talking about...

    My experience play-through with The Last Of Us 2 for me was unforgettable and has been etched within my mind till the end of my days. What a Fkn unbelievable joy i had and how much respect i have for Naughty Dogs ability to toy & play with my emotions! I applaud them! 10/10 Dropkicks!!!    … Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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]
