    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. Pure trash. This was as big of a let down as season 8 of GOT. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Give it 1 week and buy it for $5 game basket at Walmart. The graphics were great don’t get me wrong, the story however was god awful. I get killing Joel randomly to show that he wasn’t a god, but to have Ellie turn the other cheek after killing hundreds of people after she gets a chance for revenge? Terribly and sloppy writing.… Expand

    Тупая, скучная, бессмысленная, депрессивная и затянутая игра.

    Геймплей неплохой, но все-равно недалеко ушёл от той унылости, что была в оригинале. Все бои с мобами опять происходят на аренах, мобов кидают пачками всю игру. Открытые локации хоть и интересно исследовать, но они все равно достаточно небольшие и не имеют вообще никаких динамических стычек с врагами, всё заранее заготовлено.

Открытые локации хоть и интересно исследовать, но они все равно достаточно небольшие и не имеют вообще никаких динамических стычек с врагами, всё заранее заготовлено. Сама сложность абсолютно никакая, во всяком случае высоком. Возможно на максимальной получше.

    Если бы не было второй половины игры (либо она была подана просто через катсцены), то намного лучше было бы. Где-то на 18 часу от сюжета начинаешь засыпать, а многочисленные тупые моменты, которые в игре просто на каждом шагу, только сильнее бросаются в глаза.
    Построение сюжета отвратительно.

    Персонажи скучные, кроме Элли и Джоэля вообще никто не интересен и намеренные попытки привязать игрока к ним выглядят абсолютно убого.
    Есть несколько душевных, трогательных и неплохо поставленных моментов, но на фоне остального сюжета они полностью меркнут.

    Постановка сцен, актёрская игра и работа со звуком просто на высочайшем уровне, жаль что по большей части только за эти аспекты и хочется хвалить.

    Графика хоть местами и невероятная, но за ней стоят тучи фильтров, графических артефактов и множество других технических ограничений. Так же ближе к концу, вместе с сюжетом, графика как будто становится всё хуже и хуже.

    Музыка не выделяется и просто служит лёгким дополнением к сценам, вообще за всё прохождение можно даже не заметить, что у игры есть саундтрек.

    Если нужна нормальная игра про месть или просто нормальная игра, то лучше в Xenoblade Chronicles 1 поиграть.    … Expand

    After playing the whole game, I can understand why some fans hate it. We thought this was a sequel to the first one, but instead, is it's own story. The story is about just one character, instead of the duo we got so familiar in TLoU - this is what pissed so fans off. But once you realize the story is trying to do it's own thing, the game becomes much more engaging.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My heart was left broken upon completing the story. I started with so much anger, hatred, and sadness, and throughout the story those feelings are shifted, and subverted. I’ve questioned the bonds I’ve made, and questioned the decisions I’ll make. The bold “in your face” story this game tells, is an experience like none other. I never felt good playing this game, the mood was always dark, and treacherous, with small glimpses of light, only to be darkened again. For some, this story may be to deep and dark, for me the story deserves a 10/10. For gameplay I played on hard and enjoyed my experience, I will note that the infected could’ve been more terrifying as I felt the A.I. was a little dull, until fully active, then they were a force to be reckoned with. The human A.I. however were totally unpredictable and save scumming yielded different results. They almost felt real, calling out names of friends when killed, I felt more immersed and excited when I encountered the human A.I. Now the puzzles were super easy for me and gave me no sense of accomplishment, until the ropes came into play, still easy, it felt like a new experience and it was fun! You’ll be searching and scavenging big open maps, and small narrow laid out areas, I loved the level design, even the small blocked off areas felt natural, and stunning. Also this game has so many settings and accessibility options it sets a new bar for accessibility! For the gameplay I’ll give it a 9/10 as I felt the infected weren’t as menacing as the humans in the game, they felt predictable and all the glass and debris on the ground should’ve alarmed those close to me, but that may be nitpicking! Overall the gameplay and the experience I felt from this story is a solid 10/10! And I feel like the true fans will appreciate and be blown away by this title!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? Its a really good game. Aside from the mediocre story and the forced SJW propaganda, I think Neil Druckman and his team really deserve respect in creating this games environments and enemies. I'll give the story a 5 out of 10 purely for the fact that it is bland, in my opinion, and Joel's death was not given any proper context, and happened too early in the game. Ellie being a senseless killer was also an off-putting thing about the story. There is no humor or wit in this game like the first. Abby was not a bad character, despite the leaks and what she did to Joel. However, she should have gotten her own game instead of being forced into this one. My biggest gripe with the story is the forced SJW propaganda. It seems that the writers chose to tell us that Ellie is a lesbian every five minutes in the game. It got annoying after a point and I eventually lost interest in the story after about an hour or so. The new characters are bland, and I didn't like the character of Dina. She just seemed an odd choice for the game and the dialog between her and Ellie felt unnatural, forced and borderline uncomfortable sometimes. Also, most new and old characters are under utilized. However, The environment is a solid 10 out of 10. It is absolutely gorgeous, and Seattle has got to be one of the best looking environments in any video game up to this point. The enemy factions are also a solid 10 out of 10. The returning infected never ceased to make my toes curl and my heart race, and the two warring factions in the game, the WLF and the Seraphites are well implemented and deserving of the coolest enemies award, if ever there was such an award. The militaristic nature of the WLF combined with the silent, eerie way the Seraphites conduct their war makes for some epic, heart racing moments in the game. Whoever conceived the idea for the WLF and the Seraphites is really good at their job and deserves a promotion. In closing, I cannot fault the game for a few bland story moments and aspects. It's still a brilliant game if you like horror survival games, and I would recommend it to anyone interested.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Только что прошел сей продукт, и, я понятия не имею, что ей поставить.
    Я был одним из тех людей, которые яро защищали игру на релизе, мол, не-не-не, 3 слишком низко, она явно не заслуживает этого. Её хейтили за ЛГБТ пропаганду, слитый сюжет, устаревший геймплей. Ну короч не по порядку:
    1: ЛГБТ пропаганды, на мой взгляд, особо нет, есть намёки, мол, Лев этот, которая Лили, "шовинист", пару фраз, но так, если не рыться в поисках иголки в стоге сена - её нет.
    2: Не знаю, где там устаревший геймплей, но тут он оч даже клёвый. Бегаешь, лутаешь, крафтишь, стреляешь. Всё, вроде как, как в первой части, но заметна эволюция, в виде стелса в кустах, верёвках из Унчартед 4, ползанья и т.д. Вощем, ооч круто.
    И наконец, 3: Эхх, бля... Ну, что тут говорить, сюжет слили. Причём, правильней сказать, даже не сюжет, а всё, что после ухода Эбби из театра. Ну тип, реально, она пришла, её Лев переубедил уйти, они ушли, оставив Дину с пробитым плечом, Джесси мертвым, Элли с разбитой рожей, а Томми с простреленным коленом. Затемнение, ииии... Бац, они уже все живы, здоровы(ну кроче Джесси), чилят в домике в деревне. Каво? Че? Как? Ответ мы так и не узнаем. Ну, допустим они кое-как доковыляли до Джексона(хотя как, если у них только одна лошадь, которая от Джесси?), хрен с ним. Что дальше? Томми хочет мести, понимает, что Эбби в Калифорнии, предлагает Элли пойти туда, но та отказывается. Ок, пока всё ок. Следующий кадр, и Элли собирает шмотки, чтобы Эбби убить. Почему убить? Хуй её знает, ведь дальше по сюжету нам показывают, что Элли, тащемта, согласна, что Джоэл в момент спасения Элли был гандоном. Дальше ничего интересного, ла-ла-ла, стрельба, щелкуны на цепях. А потом Элли снимает Эбби со столба и начинает пиздить... Ты че, ебанутая? Ты же сама сказала Джоэлу во флешбеках, что он урод из-за своего поступка, и ты знаешь мотивацию Эбби, и ты понимаешь, почему она тебя оставила в живых, нахуя ты её пиздишь, алё? Великолепно, просто пиздец. Но Элли таки допердивает, что Эбби пиздить не надо, и отпускает её.
    Далее, Элли возвращается на ферму, но вся хата опустела(конечно блять опустела, оставила одну Дину с ребёнком на всю ферму, молодец, подруга), пару флешбеков, где она винит Джоэла в его поступке 5-летней давности, и уходит не в Джексон, а в путешествие черт знает куда. То бишь она поняла, что сделала херню. Отлично, гут, супер...
    Почему до Элли так долго доходило, что она дура? Знает лишь Дракманн. Хотя, возможно, в этом и был смысл, мол, Элли поняла, что столько дерьма сделала, что просто ушла, не желая показываться Дине на глаза.
    Концовка слила всю игру просто в пиздец, никакого оправдания поступку Элли нет и не будет, разве что в каком-нибудь сюжетном ДЛС.
    Итог вощем:
    Сюжет - 6(из-за концовки)
    Геймплей - 9
    Суммирования не будет, потому как НАСТОЛЬКО СЛИТЬ КОНЦОВКУ, это надо уметь...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game probably is one of the games that polarized the fanbase the most. There are those who absolutely hate the game, those who absolutely love the game and few of those who are somewhere inbetween.
    First off I have to say that I really detest the review bombing of this game right after release when it's obvious, that the players didn't even have the time to play this game. I also think counter rating the game as a 10/10 doesn't help either. Either way don't do this game justice.
    Now I'd like to say that I enjoyed the game as you can see in the score. I also understand, that people wanted a continuation of the narrative of the first game, yet I think it is unfair to slander this game based only on the fact, that people didn't get the wholesome, heartwarming narrative. To call the narrative of this game bad, garbage, crap or whatever other adjective people use just show that people can't rate this game as an individual game. Of course both games are connected through characters and setting, but is it really that bad for the developers to go in a different direction with a sequel? I certainly don't think so. It was quite obvious that this game is going a more darker path judging by the trailers. It may have been somewhat dishonest by the developers to alter the trailers slightly, but it is nothing new in the industry.

    Now to the actual review of this game.
    First off the graphics. one word is enough to describe it which is gorgeous.
    The mechanics are simmilar to the first game, but it was definitely polished with dodging enemy mele attacks, proning, hiding in tall grass, environmental puzzles with ropes and the absolutely detailed, smooth and beautiful reaction of the characters to the environment and hits.
    As I mentioned above, the narrative is darker than the first game. If you don't like games with dark stories and themes, this might not be your cup of tea. But if you are fine with it, a well written and very nuanced story awaits you. This game has everything a good and complete narrative needs to have. The setting, with a bit of Jackson, a very beautiful and detailed Seattle and also beautiful Santa Barbara in the last part of the game. There are the well established characters from the first game like Joel, Eliie and Tommy, but also new characters like Ellie's love interest Dina, their good friend and Dina's ex Jesse, Lev, who plays a important role and of course Abby. There also are minor characters like Abby's friends and Yara for example. Now let me make clear the sexual preferences of the charcters. Ellie is obviously lesbian, which we already knew from the Left behind DLC of the first game, Dina is bisexual, Abby is NOT transgender contrary to what was rumored pre release after the leaks, but Lev is transgender, which plays a small role in the narrative.
    The Plot as many probably already know is Joel getting brutally killed by Abby and Ellie setting off on a quest to seek revenge. the death of Joel, which is very controversial, comes early in the game. Why is it controversial? Because Joel was a well loved main character from the first game and many, think that the way Joel died, or rather that Joel acted out of character trusting strangers. But if you pay close attention to what happened before and read the logbooks in the outposts, you'll know it wasn't out of character and that the same would have happened no matter what. That was what I meant with nuanced, that you can miss a thing like the logbook. There aren't only logbooks but dialogues between characters that are missable during parts in which you control them or not so obvious dialogues during cutscenes. The game is full of them. That is what makes this story great, but also the reason why people think the narrative is bad.
    I don't want to go into too much detail, but you'll play quite a long part as Abby and it is very inportant for players to fully understand the theme and narrative of the game. If you can set aside your feelings, probably hatred and disgust, towards Abby and what happened to Joel, you'll realize that Abby's arc is very important.
    The game also have wholesome moments in forms of flashbacks.
    I don't want to write the whole story down as it's between 25 and 30 hours long and I'm also running out of available characters, so I'll let you experience the majority of the story yourself.
    The leaks have done a tremendous amount of damage to this game as it didn't show the nuanced parts and important details of the game.
    Please make sure to go into the game with a neutral mindset and please make sure to pay attention to detail as it is important to understand the greater narrative and the also controversial ending as well.

    My final conclusion: It's a game with beautiful graphics (probably the best on PS4), great mechanics and also a great story. Again it is very important to pay attention to details to get the nuances and you'll experience a great, very human story of revenge, love and redemption.    … Expand

Even though TLOU2 have a good graphic, details, and gameplay, ND too focused on their agenda and forget the very first thing that brought TLOU to be GOTY which is their storyline. Tbh I'm okay if Joel die, because he did a bad and selfish things on TLOU ending. However, that doesn't mean you have to killed him that easy, he's not that dumb to trust a complete stranger. If you remembered, during TLOU, he knew when someone tried to trick and ambush him. If you really want to kill Joel and fit in your agenda, at least dont make him looks like someone who just step into post apocalyptic world. If we compared both Ellie and Abby, the only winner is Abby, she get her revenge, still alive, got new community (new firefly), and new mother and daughter relationship which she should have realized that what Joel did in TLOU, was the same thing she did to Lev now. F-in hypocrite!

    ND, quick question, why bother developing both characters and their relationship in the first game if in the end you ruin them? Very disrespect Ellie and Joel character.    … Expand

    The Last of Us II is probably best described as a technical marvel attached to a weak story, much like Game of Thrones Season 8. There is so much good in this game, from a technical point of view, but because this is a story-based game, many, including myself, will focus primarily on the story and the characters. And unfortunately those later aspects are by far the weakest.

There is so much good in this game, from a technical point of view, but because this is a story-based game, many, including myself, will focus primarily on the story and the characters. And unfortunately those later aspects are by far the weakest. Characters are inconsistent or just straight-up hate-worthy, story direction is unfocused and themes are contradictory. Like I said for the Game of Thrones Season 8, it's such a shame seeing so much passion, dedication, work and effort virtually wasted on a weak story.… 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]
