    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 was amazing from start to finish. The game has you playing as the villain for half of it, allowing you to see things from their perspective. I found the writing to be so good, it had me questioning what I thought was right and wrong. Naughty Dog hit another home run with this game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you Neil Druckmanm thanks you Santaolalla, thank you ND.

    I'm not going to lie, but at the point where you fight Ellie as Abby, I was in a rage against ND, I couldn't understand how you crush a character like that... Why you make me play with the killer of Joel for so frecking long... I was absolutely furious how Ellie was "done with that" on the house living with Dina and the baby... That's, not Ellie I thought, Ellie won't leave Abby live... we need to **** kill her...

    I only forced to keep playing the game with the only intention to kill Abby... then it hit me like a goddam train, and it hurt and it hurt a lot...

    Allow me to explain myself...

    If Ellie killed Abby, the cycle must continue, someone has to kill Ellie. But Ellie broke it, revenge won't help her, he needed closure, not revenge. And that's what she got, and no, I don't buy the "she killed everybody just to pardon Abby? YES, **** yes, and that's why Neil and the ND is a **** genius, because at the last scene when Ellie realized she couldn't play the guitar, it let her understand that letting Abby go, letting the guitar there, helped her letting Joel go...

    It's not what everybody expected, I get that, we all wanted all the game to be like the museum memory... Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you guys. It´s not...

    I cried for a frecking hour when Ellie started to play and left...

    This game has a brilliant story and I think it hit me sooo frecking hard because I was soo in the Ellie ship... but this world, this game isn't about "the good ones" and the "bad guys" this is about the actions of Joel's life and how Ellie in his absolute depression couldn't see anything but revenge, but that's not her, the true Ellie is the museum one, the "I wanna see what all the fuss is about" Ellie, the one who makes dumb joked with her first real friend.

    We need to understand what Ellie´s been through guys. Why you think we don’t see any "car with Joel scenes... any pun jokes book with Dina... because her relationship with Joel is fractured, and she lost the opportunity to repair it... She lost her first true love... and know when she finally started to trust someone, she lied at her face and have to "carry" a baby that forever remained her that his dad is dead because of her... She can’t live a life like that... That’s truly not her...

    That’s why she needed to go with Abby, and yes, it was melodramatic to "save her at the last second" but that’s what she needed, and the fingers... well... yeah, I thought, at first, that it was only on the gore side, to show that your actions have consequences, even if you don’t "end them". BUT, it was crucial, I’ll explain:

    In the last scene, when Ellie tries to play the guitar and lives, I thought that it remembered too much to Joel and she couldn’t do it, not that fresh... but not, she fiscally couldn’t play. (Maybe if there is a 3rd one shell just plays with the other hand... I don now lol.) But what I got from that, is that she needed that, she needed to leave Joel behind (figuratively with the guitar) and move on... And that’s what she does... she moved on.

    That’s why, also, Tommy broke up with Maria, because Tommy didn’t move on... He probably kept complaining and **** why he didn’t kill her... why he didn’t do that... or do the other... (You know? Like all of us when we **** up something, of think of great response on an argument 5 hours after it ended...) He didn’t have closure, or he didn’t accept what happened, and that deeply depressed him to the point he lost what he loves more... his wife.

    That’s what Ellie "got right" yes, she’s greatly affected, of **** course... for her, his whole life was circling around giving her life for the cure... and Joel took that from her.

    But know, with Joel, with Abby with Jesse, and Tommy behind, she can truly move on and be that curious badass girl, who claimed dinosaurs and make silly pun jokes with her best friend... Because, there’s nothing in her past, hunting her...

    That’s why I think it hit me so hard… because upon all the “second” half of the game, I was in rage, I didn’t want to play Abby… I didn’t care about their life’s, friends…, how many of them where… I only wanted to kill Abby… Joel can’t go unavenged. Until I wasn’t, until I saw Ellie walking away from Joel’s guitar, that I realized… Abby is Joel…
    And it was so frecking obvious, Ellie never put up stairs, Ellie never sees a flamethrower, Joel never wanted Ellie to become what she was becoming. That’s why he choked on the last memory when Ellie tells him that she may never forgive him… but she may try…    … Expand

    Possibly the most engaging story I’ve ever seen in a video game. Improves on the original game in every single way whilst taking the narrative in a whole new direction. Certainly one of the best games of the decade, and one of my new favourites!

    After finishing The Last Of Us, I was so eager to continue playing that story. I could barely wait for a sequel. After finishing The Last Of Us Part II I feel no need for a continuation, because I honestly don't care about that story anymore. Unfortunately for us, it took a direction that was mostly about impact and 'cringeness' than actually the great storytelling that the original had.After finishing The Last Of Us, I was so eager to continue playing that story.

Физика - любое взаимодействие с любым объектом приводит к результату. Убили кого-то? На вас останется кровь. Перепрыгнули через    Девайсы ps4 pro + телевизор samsung 50 HDR. Уровень сложности - высокий

    Плюсы:

    Картинка - поражает, художники не так просто деньги получали, после Uncharted 4 это вторая игра где я сделал больше 30 скриншотов, можно было еще наделать, но надо было играть.
    Физика - любое взаимодействие с любым объектом приводит к результату. Убили кого-то? На вас останется кровь. Перепрыгнули через препятствие? Снесли все что было на нем. Оружие имеет вес.
    Motion Capture - тут какой-то уже сверх уровень лицевых анимаций, просто потрасающе. Вообщем вся техническая часть игры сделана на самом высоком уровне.
    Музыка - конечно до первой части не дотянули, но тоже хорошо, хотелось бы отметить мелодию играющая в момент перестрелок и напряженных моментах.
    Флешбеки с Джоэлом.

    Минусы:

    Сюжет - к сожалению не понимаю восторженных игроков пишущих что это шедевр, увы сюжет это основа игры, а это игра именно об истории о людей в мире постапокалипсиса, так вот сюжет очень спорный и слабый.
    Клише на клише.
    Персонажи отупели (особенно Джоэл, в первой части этот человек был умен и ни кому не доверял, во второй части «Привет! Я Джоэл, а это Томми») и стали унылыми.
    Второстепенные персонажи не интересные кроме Яры, Льва и с натяжкой Оуэн, остальные просто мусор.
    Диалоги так же стали не интересные.
    Длительность игры - серьезно, можно было вырезать еще часов 10 не нужных геймплейных мест. (Дракманн кстати говорил что и так вырезал половину игры, и слава богу)
    Геймплей с одной стороны очень хорош, а с другой из-за длительности самой игры вы будете переодически уставать.
    Перебор с закрытыми проходами, в первой части они нужны были для диалогов между персонажами пока ты ищешь выход, во второй части - это просто чтобы увеличить время геймплея, а с диалогами как я уже писал тут все не очень хорошо.
    Русская локализация как всегда отвратная, много не правильных художественных вставок и актеры то не доигрывают то переигрывают. Играл на английской озвучке и вам советую.
    ВЫВОД:
    Если закрыть глаза на пропаганду которая была всунута в игру что бы подсластить пилюлю журналистам для высоких оценок - игра не плохая, но и ничего особенного исключая конечно техническую часть.
    6/10 -4 балла за невзрачность сюжета и слабых персонажей

Those are the good things about the game.
    But what is really sad is the writhing for this game. Joel's death was done in a stupid and lazy way, forced for the story to continue. Using the argument that he stayed in the community left him "less suspicious" is inconsistent, it is not because he spent 4 years in a community that made him "forget" with the outside world. He has experienced many things during 24 years of survival, and knows what human beings are like in the outside world. He would be just as suspicious as before, as he now patrols a community, so his instincts would be the same in the first game.
    Another point was that everything was very convenient during the scene, because exactly at the moment when Abby will almost be killed by the infected, Joel saved her from that situation at the last minute, and he and Tommy went straight to meet her group, and being comfortable in their presence during the scene, besides Joel being in the middle of the room, surrounded.

    The game was sold as an adventure by Joel and Ellie again, the trailers were even edited to think about it, and at no time did we see Abby in any of the trailers. the company knew that the public would not like to hear that the story would be about Ellie and Joel's murderer, Abby. We don't wait 7 years for that.
    Even showing the background of Abby losing her father, to feel sympathy for the character, it did not convince most players, as well as me, because Abby is a psychopath, and here are examples of how the game shows her with her actions in her darkest moments:

    1 - Shoot the knee of a man who saved her moments ago, using a golf club to beat and torture him for a considerable time, and kill him in front of a girl who is begging for his life.
    2 - After discovering that Dinah is pregnant, she doesn't think twice before trying to cut her throat, just not committing the act because Lev prevented her.
    3 - Cheating on her friend Mel (who was pregnant) having sex with Owen, and showing zero remorse.

    Ellie, at similar times, shows much more humanization in her reactions:
    1 - Upon hearing Nora offend Joel, she beats her in a brutal way (also to have information about Abby), and moments later, she is totally shaken after that event.
    2 - After killing Mel and discovering she was pregnant, Ellie has a panic attack, falling to the ground and hyperventilating, showing herself completely traumatized and making it clear to the player that she would not have killed her if she had known this before.
    3 - Ellie apologizes to Jesse about kissing Dinah, and the relationship begins without containing a betrayal.

    There are a lot of plot holes in the game, such as Tommy letting the map in the floor so that, in the narrative, Abby would find it.

    In the end, Part II had a great potential to be one of the best sequels of a game, but fails miserable in the story telling of such a beautiful story that was the first game.

    The Last of Us part II is a dark drama-adventure tale like no other. The hate this game is receiving is unfair and is coming only from a bunch of kids who wanted fan service, happy endings and super heroes. It’s a game for adults and only adults can comprehend the message Naughty Dog wants to convey. A must play for all true gamers.

    The Game is good, a masterpiece? Not at all, the story was decent, it could had been great if the director explained the motives before ..."the issue ahead" The gameplay was stunning, a bit repetitive at times.

    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.
