    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Видно, что за этой игрой стоит большая работа. Проработка разных аспектов и правда отличная, пожалуй даже и историю можно принять. Но все разбилось для меня, когда заставили играть за Эбби. Игра из last of us 2 превратилась в игру по мотивам. Атмосфера на месте, качество на месте, но нет связи с персонажем. И для last of us это критично.
    В первой части нас познакомили с болью Джоэла, с тем как он перешагнул через эту боль и принял Элли в свою жизнь. Мы делили боль Джоэла и переживали вмести с ним за Элли. Во второй части мы делили боль утраты вместе с Элли, нас двигала жажда мести. Что должно было заставить меня проникнуться теми же чувствами к Эбби, особенно после завязки? Это странное решение не работает для меня и, очевидно, для многих. Ряд сомнительных решений превратил эту игру для меня в 7ку, и это особенно жаль ведь всю первую половину она ощущалась как 9ка.    … Expand

    Personally, I, like many others, do not like what they did with the characters. And of course LGBT people. Also, this game cannot be given a negative review.

    Clunky controls cannot play. Narrative not engaging at all. Music is poor with annoying sounds

    This game is an atrocity. It took everything that made the first game good and destroyed it (maybe except gameplay). Holy **** what a disappointing story! I expected much more, sad.

    To paraphrase Jim Sterling talking about Shadow of War:
    - TLoU was an example of how to take a tired formula and turn it into a great game
    - TLoU II is an example of how to take a great game and turn it into a total f*ck

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us part 1 was a masterpiece of a game, it had clunky gameplay at times but it was a beautiful game set in an interesting and compelling world that pulled you in both violently and subtly, it was a true work of art. Unfortunately everything we loved about the first game was thrown away for cheap shocks and poor writing in the sequel. Everybody in the game is either an idiot or an unloveable a-hole leaving you almost nobody left to care about. They completely disregard how characters they've developed characters and how they act in order to force the plot to go where they wanted it to go. It feels like they wrote who they want to kill and how they want it to end and then went eh we'll figure it out at some point and then just forced the plot down a railroad to disappointment. They to be quite honest just spit in your face and the characters we've grown to love faces to tell this really cliche revenge story that has been told a hundred times and a hundred times better than it is told in this game. The game is paced rather poorly and you are bored for at least the first 2 hours if not the first half of the game entirely as it just crawls along like your grandfather driving on the freeway. It then forces you to play as a character you have no desire to play as and no interest to play as trying to humanize someone they've already made you hate. The graphics look fantastic and the voice acting is amazing but those are really the only good things about the game, the gameplay despite seven years hasn't really been innovated at all and remains the same thing we've had for years and the story is written so poorly that all the pretty graphics cant cover it up and even if the voices are great when the material is garbage you cant really get excited for it. Overall this game is sadly an insult to fans and itself and leaves you with only anger and disappointment as you wish you never played it and could take back the time stolen from you by this pointless slog through the sewer known as The Last of Us Part 2.… Expand

    I will start by writing that yes, the game doesn't objectively deserves a 0, but I rate it that way because it doesn't deserve a 10 either - far from that and what matters is the average score so I want my contribution to bring it as low as possible.
    This out of the way, people might think that is stupid, please read to the end.

    This out of the way, people might think that is stupid, please read to the end.

    Everyone is unanimous to what's good and what's bad in this game - at least everyone who's honest.
    The mocap and other technical aspects are top notch and the accessibility features will probably be a proof of concept for years to come. That's said, good job on that.

    Now on everything else ... To me, the game is a complete failure on mostly everything.
    The gameplay in the last of us 1 was quite simple with gathering supplies, crafting different tools and shooting/melee sneaking on ennemies. What has changed in 7 years ? Not much. So little actually that it wants you to wonder, what have you guys been doing for 7 years on that front ? Did you really spend 10% of your time working on the actual gameplay and 90% on accessibility features ?

    Now to be honest, it wouldn't even be that bad since once again, everyone agrees that what made the last of us 1 a great game wasn't really the gameplay, but the story and its characters.

    Now is the rollercoaster and where i've got my beef.
    I didn't really care for that infamous scene - I was actually expecting it even though I hadn't seen any leaks, I mean the game has been advertised by Sony and ND as a quest for revenge, and in all gameplay trailers you would see Ellie as the main character ? You don't need to be a genius to make 2+2 and figure out the very few reasons that would be a motivator for Ellie to start a revenge spree.

    Does it make sense though ? Most people are arguing that involved characters would have not acted that way and it's true. You don't build up a character with traits, knowledge, behaviors, to throw that up the windows because it is convenient to make a plot advancement. And that stuff also happens with Ellie who is really just **** most of the time.
    The rest of the cast is honestly weak and uninteresting and the story in itself is pointless. I guess you would say thats the whole point of vengeance being pointless but after 30 hours of doing repetitive scavenging hunting, it leaves you with a bitter taste, not because of the story ending but because you wasted your own time. The game leaves you with nothing.

    Finally, I want to emphasize that i'm not one to care for political agendas and stuff in games, mostly I don't even care about reviews - my account creation was to make a review against what blizzard had done with warcraft 3 reforged, that says a lot about how much it had to take for me to write a review.
    Regarding the whole agendas stuff, I didn't even knew who Neil druckmann was but I have to say after seeing the bigger picture, I'm convinced that there actually is political agenda in that game.
    There's too much of it. Too much of Druckmann himself in the game :
    The DR Uckmann game card ?
    The motion capture for Manny being Neil Druckmann ?
    Neil Druckmann being jewish and the only represented religion in the game being judaism ?

    This stuff is Kojima level of putting yourself as a director into your game to the point where you put some of your own personal beliefs into the game and to the player that you shouldn't be.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the representation of minorities, sharing culture and all of that but here there is something really wrong and at some point we can't just shut up to SJW and political correctness bullying.

    I guess anyone's take on the game is as good as mine but at least in put my cent to the discussion because I don't want the videogame industry to become what Naughty Dog just did.    … Expand

The game itself has not really improved since it's previous installment in the serious from the crafting mechanics to puzzle solving. The story itself has many plot holes and leaves so many questions with no answers. Also the 10 hour portion where you play a not so favorable character is not needed and should not have gone that far, I didn't care for this character for them to build on them. The current characters from the the first series are not improved upon but have literally thrown everything they have done in the first game and decided to be a different character entirely. This game needs a serious rehaul on the story to get a more positive outlook.… Expand

Why am I being forced to care and play as a character for over 12-15 hours who has zero personality and who basically kills your father. Does the game deserve a zero? Gameplay wise no, story? Yes, it was that bad. Just made playing the game not worth it. Could have did so much better. Very very disappointing… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last of Us Part 2 takes its time to develop the story. A story in a very hostile world that will end some beloved character’s lives. It also introduces many new characters, e.g. Abby who kills Joel at the beginning of the game. That death was a real shock (especially after playing the first game) but it fits into a world where there is no government, no rules and no law. It‘s a modern Wild West where revenge creates more revenge. At first I hated Abby for what she did, but after playing the second half of the game I was glad how the final confrontation ended. I wanted her and Lev to survive as I could understand her motivation at the beginning of the game. And I really felt like she changed over the course of the game. Please don‘t believe these review bombers. Naughty dog introduced some LGBTQ+ characters in this game but I (a 30 year old white cis male) never had the feeling they were forced into it. They fit so good in the story. Especially Lev - a trans character growing up in a religious fundamental environment. I‘ll never know how it feels to grow up in such a hostile group of people that want to kill you for who you are. But I‘m glad he found Abby who accepts him for who he is. You see I‘m texting about fictional characters as if they‘re real existing persons. That‘s what Naughty Dog did with this game - it made me forget it is a game.… Expand

    People are hating on this game because of it's controversial moves. Especially ending. But ending of the 1st part was contoversial too. That's what makes this game so speical. It's not about good and bad people. It's complicated and make you think a lot. Especially after ending.

    Naughty dog had end so long ago. (Most of creative and talented staff are left the company.) And this is How people with creative skill, without talented can do.

    The writing is atrociously bad. The writers ignored major character personalities. There's a self-insert into a sex scene. They went full SJW on this. There is nothing enjoyable about this game - no, this political statement. You'd have more fun having a SJW scream profanities at you.

    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.
