    Играл в игру не много, всего около 30 часов
    Ужасно напрягает повестка и обманывают разработчиков. Хотя, если от этого абстрагироваться и брать во внимание геймплей в частности - он не цепляет. Скучный. Однообразные. Хотя сражения с зараженных удивили. Если бы не заигрывания разработчиков с феминисткам и прочей ересь, то игра бы вышла на 6.5/10
    А так 1/10 Так что такие дела В принципе,    Играл в игру не много, всего около 30 часов

    Absolute disgrace to what everyone loved about the first game, pure trash, shocking considering the first game was my all time favourite. Deeply upset.

    One of the most disappointing games of the year

    It felt more like a movie then a game

    If you can fall asleep then watch 20 minutes of this game and you’ll fall asleep fast

    Wow, what a hard pill to swallow, this one.

    Let's start of with the positives, the graphics, the environment and just the overall feeling of the feeling of this game world is great. Just very detailed and very convincing. Controls are okay, could use a bit more fine tuning.

    Let's start of with the positives, the graphics, the environment and just the overall feeling of the feeling of this game world is great. Just very detailed and very convincing. Controls are okay, could use a bit more fine tuning.

    The real downside for me is just the story, this has nothing to do with being against any agenda or whatever you wanna call it. I just thought that the story was very badly written, Characters making cringey bad decision and completely going out of their own way. The game just made me feel bad and akward for about 35-40 hours and it shouldn't be the goal of a game to make you feel bad, right? It should be fun. The only fun you get from TLOU2 however is the technical level of the game, not that feeling and story that it throws at you. I mean Neil Druckmann is the creator of the game and is free to do what he pleases, but making unpopular decisions has to have unpopular consequences as well sometimes and in this case it just crossed a line. I could not enjoy this game, the ending just created a empty, numb feeling, like "thanks for your effort, but all you did was in vain". All in all a great game if the story would've been written decently. The story alone would get 0-1 points, but all-in-all I think that a grand total of 3 points is rectified.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For those of you that enjoyed the 1st game, prepare to be disappointed.

    The gameplay and graphics are easily the best of this generation but the story leaves a lot to be desired.



    Considering this is a linear story driven game, thats a big issue as unlike an open world game, if im not moving the story along, im stuck. I wont go into much detail concerning abby etc but its deceiving that she wasnt shown at all in the games marketing campaign.

Without Joel ad Ellie together, this is not THE game. Change the title and characters to something else and this will be a good game. But tlou2? Nah. And the worst part is that I am forced to play as Abby to fight Ellie. This is a joke.… Expand

    Amazing graphics and atmosphere as expected. Just a shame to story line didn't match that epicness. Some much time and emotions was invested in the characters that made the first game, just for it all to be p***ed up the wall. Such a shame, GoT comes to mind

    I was looking forward to this game being a huge State of Decay fan and watching a lot of TLOU 1 "lets plays" online. I heard about the leaks and did everything in my power to just ignore it since there isn't a lot of major releases other than Cyberpunk this year. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and promptly picked it up and started to play it. I will list my Pro's and Con's below inI was looking forward to this game being a huge State of Decay fan and watching a lot of TLOU 1 "lets plays" online. I heard about the leaks and did everything in my power to just ignore it since there isn't a lot of major releases other than Cyberpunk this year. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and promptly picked it up and started to play it. I will list my Pro's and Con's below in details however I will give a quick synopsis first. One word describes this game, Predictable. From all of Neil Druckmann's tweets and how Sony has been copy striking people it was pretty obvious from the get go that this game is not for us, its Neil Druckmann's love letter to social justice. Everything was so predictable from the start. As an Asian male I heard about all of this inclusiveness and how this game was going to be a progressive step forward however the game is full of white characters. From the get-go the game does everything possible to get you to hate Ellie and side with Abby. The problem is Ellie is a beloved character and Joel is the anti-hero every game franchise needs. Abby had no back story, we had no investment towards her, but in Druckmann's mind her character checked a check box so we should just throw away our love and alliances for Ellie for Abby, because social justice! Abby's character is bland, there is no development into her, and quite honestly I didn't want to play as her, I wanted to kill her. The Joel death scene was again typical. It was a social message to embarrass the white manly male character by a woman in the most demoralizing way as possible. The death scene just like the sex scene was done for one reason, for the shock value. It was unnecessary and uncomfortable. The sex scene was disgusting and basically a rape scene. The plot of the story didn't develop well and nowhere in the game was I invested on continuing to play. Every cutscene had its injection of politics and I felt like I was being talked down too, as if I was reading a Neil Druckmann tweet. My final observation from this game is that it is a tone deaf to what we the people really want in a game and Druckmann and company are just trolling us. This was one of the worst games I've played not just from a plot line but also the characters and game play. The game play was linear and boring. I felt like I was just grinding to get to the plot of the story only to have everything I love about the game to be destroyed by a cut scene. The biggest problem I have is the media call me a woman hating, homophobic, blah blah blah blah. I'm sick of being talked down to by people in the media. I hate this game because its a bad game with a horrible plot,. You can call me names or a Russian Bot but it doesn't erase the fact that this game is a tone deaf and brief look into our current social state. If 98% of the country doesn't submit to what the media tells us to do or love then we are ________phobes, _____ists, etc. I have a few female members in my COD clan and all we talked about today was how horrible this game was so its not just men, its a majority of us that think this game needs to be buried with E.T. To me, This game isn't canon and Joel and Ellie are still alive.

    Pros
    Good Graphics, nothing close to PC graphics but good for the platform
    Cool Uniforms and Clothing
    Voice acting is top notch!
    Ellie is still one of the best characters along with Joel!

    Cons
    The trailers lied and manipulated us. I bought this game because I saw Joel grabbing Ellie and thought this would be the continuation of their story.
    All the Joel footage is just flashback its a bait and switch
    Same ole gameplay as the original TLOU its just a pebranded dot version essentially
    Terrible plot line
    Lack of character investment
    Lack of character back story
    Lack of character maturation
    Destroyed any replayability of TLOU 1 by destroying the characters
    Too much social politics inserted
    Being talked down to in cut scenes
    Being forced to like Abby by being forced to play with her and the plot trying to set Ellie up into situations that force us to not like her; even though its totally against Ellie's character.
    Forcing an 8-month pregnant woman to patrol
    Joel's death scene was an obvious social statement and made to embarrass one of the best male characters in gaming
    The sex scene was disturbing and more like a rape scene and the sex scene had no build up or backstory. Its just two people meet and within minutes they are having sex even though this man has a family.
    The Lesbian couple was touted on Twitter and the media yet are a secondary throw away character in this game
    Abby is over powered and we are forced to play with her even though we all hate her.
    The unnecessary destruction of Ellie in the end is disgusting and was again just done for shock value and to boost up Abby
    The jump function is useless
    Lack of minority characters, all the main characters are white
    Game is too linear should have been open world

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game in the graphic and aesthetic theme is excellent, very good work due to the over exploitation of the naughty dog ​​to its underpaid workers.

    It went from being one of the most recognized games for its great surround plot that introduces you to the game and creates empathy for the characters that compose it.

    In this installment, Joel's death seems very forced and ridiculous, and the introduction of other absurd characters without any purpose, especially forcing to have empathy for the plot antagonist who is abby,
    Also, in the end, it's so absurd to spend hours wanting to do the worst for what she did, and that Ellie forgives her in the end, I think that the game with these graphics, aesthetics and gameplay and a more detailed game and touching story, could be the same that the first installment, the community would have liked much more and would not have divided it by different tastes as it is now.
    Thank you.    … 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.
