    This game is as good as the first game to me, I did not like the idea of playing as Abby, until it happened, I could understand everything she's been through and even though no one is good or bad in a post-apocalyptic world, Abby is way more moral than Ellie, Ellie is now a different and selfish person, this game made me go on an emotional roller coaster    (THE REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS)

    Игроки перестали воспринимать авторские произведения в роли наблюдателя. Конечно каждый школьник - мастер сценарного искусства и знает как действительно было бы лучше. Без спойлеров - это отличная, эмоциональная игра.

    The game has 10/10 graphics and almost close to that in gameplay and environment. But the story is appalling, their execution and pacing is just straight-up bad.
    The choices they made in what happened and when it happened, is just something that deserves a 0/10. But the gameplay and the rest is good, but the game is not worth playing in my opinion.

    Fantastic game, much better than the first, the second half while not as good as the first is still fantastic a must buy game! My only regret is that people on other consoles will not be able to experience this masterpiece!

    I wish I could delete my memory just to be able to re-watch it and be again astounded. I just want to thank all the Naughty Dog's people to have created again something that goes out of the schemes, something truly human and truly raw. Love u all.

    Buen juego, es triste, demasiado diria yo, pero eso no quiere decir que sea malo, es de los pocos juegos que nos hace sentir cosas, sean beunas o malas. Lo de mutilar a Ellie estuivo demasiado, aunque tiene su significado.

    Gameplay and controls weren’t much more innovative from the first game and in some cases the first game has better things going for it like for example the dodge mechanic is very abusable bringing down the strategic value the first game had. This game still feels fun to play but the same can be said for games over a decade old so I don’t think that’s a big achievement.

This game still feels fun to play but the same can be said for games over a decade old so I don’t think that’s a big achievement. Various bugs that ruin the immersion which is basically the only thing this game has got going for it really. The graphics are good, it’s not super advanced graphics from older games on the system but more of a super polish and detail that makes the graphics stand out so much and give great immersions to it. The world is still super linear which is a bummer and a huge miss on ND’s part. The setup was there to search these outposts for information in an any order in an open world type of way which would have boosted the immersion of the this games world and just world exploration in general but instead the game keeps to being linear for story reason I guess? The story is pointless at best and a hot mess at worst. A personal revenge story is that last thing a fan would want for this game especially the way from the way it’s gone about the way it did. I believe what fans wanted to see the most was how the arguable bad decision Joel made at the end of the first game impacted the world in a plot that took a grander scale than what was shown in the game fans got and how the characters would try to fix this dangerous bloodthirsty world without a cure. As for the story we got I won’t go to into my points too in depth but on a rundown I can say most of the side characters were boring and had too much screen time, the main characters were out of character or were just also too boring to get attached to. The small talk when roaming is stupid. It’s like it’s trying to be uncharted but in that game it makes sense or even in the first TLOU it makes due to the way the characters aren’t absolutely at some of their worst times in their life it made sense for them for through out some casual words here and there. This game tries to be all brooding but then you get some causal dialogue from those brooding characters and it’s like a complete disconnect form the actual story. At last but not least the pacing and direction is all over the place. This could have easily been fixed if the game was like the first two hours all throughout the whole game where you hop back and forth between characters within reasonable time. Two problems fixed with one solution. I would rate this game lower if I took the marketing into consideration with the model swapping lie, the lighting changes and I think graphical changes(not sure about the graphics), and more realistic gameplay and enemy AI lies but there could have been limitation reasons for the latter two points(but not the deceiving model swapping) so I’ll subside my feelings to that. Over all this game is boring, dragged on, and had much lost potential. 3/10… Expand

    Worst story ever since Game of Thrones Season 8.
    Whoever signed that should get fired cause he was seriously only looking for cheap money grap.
    Maybe even watched too much ST Picard. Refund and never buy a game from them again.
    Site even blocks negative reviews and only lets post positive ones. How shady can you be?

    Very poor effort by Sony and Naughty Dog. You had one thing to do: make the sequel just like the first game, but you failed completely. Where are the good characters and story? None in this game.

    Gameplay is the same thing also, I got totally bored around half of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Video games are really good at delivering catharsis through violence. The first game did that when you were forced to slaughter all those people to save a character you cared about. Bioshock Infinite did something similar when you had to save Elizabeth. Or God of War with Atreus. But for the first time that I've seen, The Last of Us Part II tried to emit a DIFFERENT emotion through violence. You as the player were not in line with the motivations of your characters. Naughty Dog created a disconnect between player and character that heightened a feeling of discomfort when having to commit violent acts. I've never seen that narrative technique done through a video game. As a result, certain violent scenes WERE not cathartic. They felt wrong. Beating up Abby at the end felt wrong. Beating up Ellie as Abby felt wrong. Killing Owen and Mel felt wrong etc... the developers purposefully robbed us of catharsis in order to effectively deliver its thematic message about the futility of revenge, hatred, division etc... it was a NEW usage of the narrative toolset of the medium that I really have to applaud and commend. Yes, the game has problems (i think it bit off more than it could chew, and left certain characters underdeveloped and archetypical) and perhaps the first game was more cohesive and better paced... but the majority of the criticism seems to come from an unfortunate misreading of the plot or a lack of appreciation for darker themes. I'm overall very happy with this sequel. I'd more honestly give it a 9/10 but I think it's necessary to offset some of the troll reviews here.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра получилась очень захватывающей и длинной. Как раз один из минусов ее искусственная "затянутость", но это компенсируется геймплеем и боевыми сценами. Если первая часть была добротным фильмом, то вторая часть скорее сериал из 10 серий, 2-3 серии можно было бы удалить.

    НИЖЕ СПОЙЛЕРЫ!!!!

    Многие упрекают ее в уничтожении главного героя, но пройдя полностью для меня это не было огромной потерей. Как раз игра задает настрой и атмосферу, в этот раз она разрушительная и гнетущая. После прохождения наступает опустошение эмоциональное, т.к. на протяжении всей игры сильно привязываешься и к Элли и на удивление к Эбби. Нападки в сторону сюжетных поступков компенсируются внимательным прохождением.

    "Джоэл глупо подставил себя ..."
    Живя в защищенной местности и периодически встречая небольшие группы они с Томми приглашали в Джексон путешественников. Т.к. понимали что голодные, уставшие чужаки вряд ли откажутся от крова и еды.

    "Эбби ну прям мега нереальная ..."
    Её руководило только чувство мести, все навыки и форму, которую она приобретала в WFL, нужны были ради одного... Отмщения за любимого отца. Она была одержима и затем опустошена, после совершенной мести. С WFL ее уже ничто не связывало, после совершенного поступка и она искала новый смысл существования. Защита Лева, отношения с Оуэном как раз были зацепками к ее новой жизни.

    Претензии к навязыванию тем ЛГБТ или прочим штукам тоже необоснованны. В игре не показывают какие-то преимущества или доказывают "повестку", все в мире ТЛОУ2 страдают одинаково. Игра моментами через чур жестока и порой в Элли видишь безумие. Это наводит на мысли кто же в истории истинный злодей и есть ли они вообще в этой части...    … Expand

    It's hard to shake the funk this game leaves one in. I feel lost, like I need to constantly talk about my experience. I've spent the last day reading all sorts of opinions on the game in an attempt to still my longing for the world I've had to depart. The ramblings of people who love it, people who hate it.

I feel lost, like I need to constantly talk about my experience. I've spent the last day reading all sorts of opinions on the game in an attempt to still my longing for the world I've had to depart. The ramblings of people who love it, people who hate it.

    As much as the debate can be infuriating at times, it lifts my spirits to see a video game dare to be so divisive, to take these kinds of risks. So often AAA games feel safe, almost pandering in their simplicity. Rarely can they match the artistic integrity of cinema and literature. I feel here, as in the first game, we are seeing the envelope being pushed. It's thrilling.

    The Last of Us Part II didn't feel perfect all the way through, I'll gladly admit it. I didn't always agree with the pacing or the story choices. It could easily have been shorter. Tighter.

    But I was so invested, as if taken by some kind of fever. Sleep became a secondary function, necessary only to gather energy for the next gaming session. The gameplay loop; explore, gather, fight, plot... for me it just clicked. Some of my favourite moments were just gathering alcohol and rags.

    A technical marvel in every single department, I am thrilled and delighted to see how far video games have evolved in my lifetime, from DOS to cinematic wonders. The acting and writing of such a calibre that I had a constant lump in my throat. It's the kind of cultural experience that doesn't come around every day. Created with such purpose and intent, one can feel the will of the creator in the finished work.

    It's okay to hate it. Art that doesn't divide can hardly be called just that.

    I hope you give The Last of Us part II a chance.    … 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]
