    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I understand the story. There's consequences to what Joel did in the first game, and they're reasonable. I loved how the game was truly of revenge, loved how we as Ellie feel the anger and are hunting them 1 by 1. But whenever the game changes to Abby's perspective, it didn't work for me. I really wasn't into it. And what I don't like is yeah we saw who she was and everything but Ellie doesn't have a clue, so what's the point. I felt super forced to play as her and I didn't like it, I also felt that they tried to hard to show she wasn't that bad but Ellie was. And well, it didn't work for me. If I'm being honest, as a huge fan of part 1, if the game would have been entirely under Ellie's gameplay, and the story doesn't stop, this would have been a 10/10. Fck Abby.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Если честно, игра мне понравилась. Она с лихвой перекрыла всю эту повесточку которая была преподнесена в виде SJW и ЛГБТ. Сюжет мне так же понравился. Не особо понимаю почему его так люто поливают грязью. В основе заложена идея мести. И она абсолютно повсюду. У главных героев, второстепенных персонажей. Даже в записках можно проследить эту тему. И конец игры как раз показывает одну простую вещь - сможет ли человек живший долгое время этим чувством изменить свой выбор. Ибо месть крайне скользская дорожка как ни крути.
    Так же хотел бы добавить следующее. Несмотря на всю нелепость Ебби как персонажа я все же останусь на ее стороне. Ибо она за весь свой путь потеряла куда больше чем Элли. Отца и друзей. Весь мир по сути рухнул. А Элли потеряла только Джоэла. Тем более, Ебби ее дважды пощадила. А это говорит о том что она не такая уж и плохая. Думаю, окажись другой человек на ее месте, он бы без каких-либо раздумий убил бы Дину вспомнив что сделала Элли а потом и саму Элли так же добил. Ну и в конце она не хотела драться с Элли так как это было уже обыкновенное бессмысленное насилие. Она ее простила за все то что она сотворила. Думаю, если Элли не была бы ранена то она без каких-либо зазрений совести убила Ебби несмотря на то что там был пацан присмерти.
    Да и под конец самой игры Элли уже начала бесить своими излишними эмоциональными всплесками и непонятным юношеским максимализмом.
    Снимаю игре 2 балла за плохую интеграцию сексуальных меньшинств которые так и бьют своей нелепостью по лицу. Кроме этого, разочаровал ИИ который был очень туп в большинстве моментов. Можно было перед носом врагов проходить в наглую и они тебя не замечали.    … Expand

    Very strong game. Not as good as the original but emotionally captivating nonetheless. Very sad to see people reviewing it before even playing. Also not liking certain aspects of a game that has many good qualities does not warrant giving it a 1/10.

    1. Story continues the first part and is very connected with it. Ellie is now a girl and she has a new partner, Dina.
    She is now not a kind girl, ready to help everyone. She became tougher and more careful (reminiscent of Joel from the first part). In general, she has matured and she quickly changes in the course of the plot and this "development" affects the end of the game.
    Dina is not a terrible character. She has her own character, motives. It seems there are no problems, but she does not reach the previous partner Ellie.
    There will be familiar characters, and many new ones that I did not like at all, but these are spoilers.
    I won’t talk much about the plot, the only thing I will say. He has many flaws and some things are incomprehensible to me, but he continued the story and the ending made me think about some things for a long time
    2. Gameplay is as excellent as in the previous part. Shooting is even more awesome, and sounds .. I recommend everyone to play with headphones, which would plunge even more into this atmosphere
    The animations are beautiful. The smallest details in the spirit of Red Dead Redemption 2. That's all I really liked and I'm very pleased with the gameplay.
    3.I live in a country in which same-sex relationships are prohibited and people are greatly humiliated for that. But I am not against it. Anita Sargsyan helped Neil Drakman, which makes me unhappy. But what is harmless here.
    The game gave me almost always positive emotions. So despite the unfair assessment of both users and critics, I put 8 points    … Expand

    Just because Joel and Ellie are the heroes of my childhood I will rate it at 8. I will also rate it at 8 for the nerves of the developers, for attention to details (which no one notices). But the finale is merged for me personally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is an ambiguous game with a heavy and complex story. About revenge and the price that need to pay for her. About the fact that the dark road of revenge leads only to emptiness.

    The plot shows Ellie's moral fall. She thinks the end justifies the means. Abby, in turn, had already committed revenge. In the course of the story, she becomes better as a person.
    Impressions:
    graphics — 10;
    sound — 10;
    gameplay — 8;
    characters — 7;
    story — 7.
    Average — 8.4 / 10.
    You can remove 1 point for SJW, there is something like this in the game, and it catches your eye a little, although it does not interfere with either the gameplay or the story.
    I'm partly unhappy with the beginning of the story. The essence of the claim is that at the beginning of the game we are not told who the new characters are and why they are taking revenge. Therefore, many players cannot understand why Joel deserved this. I think it was worth explaining right away. Such a move leads to hatred of new characters, unwillingness to understand them. Many did not even want to play for Abby.
    In the game as a whole, you need to delve into what is happening and notice the details. If you do this, it becomes clear that the story is not bad.

    The ending is also not bad. It is worth remembering that Abby spared Ellie twice. But the final decision of the main character was influenced by something completely different. Ellie recalls the moment with Joel, how after the party she went to him to discuss the incident. Next, occurs a very important conversation for their relationship. Ellie says that she probably will not be able to forgive him for saving her life, and not for saving humanity. After a moment, the heroine adds that she will try to forgive. Joel looks at Ally and thanks her with hope.
    The essence of the moment is that Ally, deep down, did not want revenge, but wanted to return Joel. She regrets because she could not forgive him before it was too late. At this moment, Ellie understands — nothing can be returned, the price paid for revenge is too high and at the moment everything is pointless. At the end of the path traveled there was only a emptiness ...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне кажется недовольные фанаты, которые ноют как дети из за "плохой концовки" должны "позакрывать свои пердаки". Жму руку разработчикам за титанический труд, если они хотели угодить ЛГБТ, как некоторые выразились, то они сделали это в меньшей возможной мере, к тому же такой химии двух влюбленных девушек я ещё нигде не видел, это было очень мило и как по мне всё было крайне убедительно, актеры дубляжа и захвата движения постарались. Геймеры, сидящие на попе ровно, с кривой осанкой и не следящие за фигурой сразу же начали возникать "а шо это баба такая накаченная ээ, она чё транс ыы" идут лесом, в постапоке я думаю лучше быть накаченным бойцом, чем клацать на джойстик, тем более её ведёт жажда мести за отца. На счёт мести Элли, она правильно сделала, что не убила Эбби, ей и так досталось (смерть отца, верных друзей, сестры Льва, рабство), если кто то после этого все равно хотел её убить, у вас не всё в порядке с головой. Ставлю 8 из 10, геймплей слишком нудный, бежать до кат-сцен и всё, лучше смотреть игрофильм. Если кто-то ожидал хеппи-энда, то вы конечно обосрались, все трейлеры были пронизаны безысходностью, насилием и несправедливостью, что нам и показали, эта игра не для умиления, а чтобы вы прочувствовали всю боль потерь и лишений, с которыми нам так или иначе предстоит столкнуться в этой жизни.… Expand

    Gameplay, sound and graphics are top notch as always. But the clincher is the story and the characters. Both feel like some fanfiction author got his hands on the script for this game. This game has one of the worst endings of all time of any piece of media. It will leave you a hollow shell of yourself.

As many of my fellow reviewers, we have waited a total of seven years for this release. With high hopes, we set money aside and anticipated a masterpiece .. and we got one, but not in the way we expected.

    The first half of TLOU2 (if you know, you know) was absolutely incredible. I loved EVERY second, every interaction, everything. From the spine chilling gurgle emanating from clickers that somehow sounds even more terrifying, to the incredible acting presented by Ashley and Shannon. From the glorious realm of Jackson and Seattle, and the simple track of snow later countered by the ghostly sighting of an abandoned city retaken, it was a masterpiece. Truly. The chemistry and bittersweet moments had me lulled into a sense of security that was later cracked into pieces, as to be expected. The first part deserves positive reviews. The same cannot be said for the latter.

    I can see exactly what ND was trying to convey, the message they so horribly tried to send. However everything leading up to that message did not make it satisfactory. I did not care for the second half in the least, and even after letting it sink in, I did not end up changing my feelings or mind on the interactions at hand. Again, I see what they were doing, and I can see how they thought it would work, but the narrative was insanely weak. The half-a$$ed parallels and the "two sides of the same coin" (literally) sequence was just not where it should have been.

    I love TLOU and TLOU2, and I will continue to support ND and if they do have the balls to make a third installment, I hope to every god and deity that they do it right.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything outside of the plot and pacing is phenomenal. What ND was able to do with the PS4 hardware is very impressive and a ton of work.

    The gameplay is very good, controls great, level design fairly balanced.

    Where the game falls flat on it's face is provide a convincing plot. Essentially the game has you see all of the blow back of Joel basically exterminating the Firefly base. One of the surgeon's daughters is Abby, so from her perspective Joel is an awful person. She's hellbent on revenge which she obtains and experiences guilt. Over time both lead characters - Abby/Ellie - become aware of each other's perspective. The player gets to experience each first hand. Abby gradually grows and tries to make amends by helping Lev and pursue the Fireflies and help restore humanity/society.

    Based on what the game shows us with certainty, Ellie does not grow. After 2 years of living the good life on a farm, she effectively ends her marriage and goes on a weeks/months long quest to California to murder Abby. She finds that she's been emaciated as a slave and tortured for months. Abby still wants to leave it, but no - Ellie like a sociopath must kill. So many times I tried to walk away, and not initiate the final blow because it is so morally repulsive, but the game forces you to to end the game. She ultimately stops short of drowning Abby, but based on her return to the empty farm and leaving the farm, it's ambiguous about whether or not Ellie has grown at all as a person. Only from recent interviews do we see that she does. Had I not had that confirmation, I would have given this game a 6/10 because I have no interest in partaking in sociopathic murder porn. It's one thing to fight for survival or if the enemy doesn't give you a choice, but the game forces you to.

    Based on interviews, it's clear that they didn't make Ellie's PTSD a convincing enough excuse. Abby had PTSD too, but she grew. Also from the interviews - apparently until 18 months ago the ending was to kill Abby - whoever at ND changed that you saved the franchise, it would have been GoT all over again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful game for me. Atmosphere, graphics, level of detail, gameplay are fantastic. But on the other hand, the story and the script that divide opinions and leave something to be desired, is a story that holds you to the end, a story that makes anger and the feeling of revenge enter the player, to disappoint it an empty ending. A ending that makes you think that everything you did in the game was in vain, all the losses were in vain, playing the TLoU2 campaign was in vain. What also hurt the players and fans of the game a lot was the main character, so striking, so loved, being killed in such a cowardly and very poorly told way. And still forcing you to play a good part of the game with the killer, "trying" to understand her side, but whoever played the entire first game, the game that made you admire, support Joel, failed to swallow Abby's story. But anyway, a beautiful game from this generation.… 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.
