    Фанат первой части. История, сюжет, персонажи - во всё это действительно верил во время прохождения.
    Данная же игра - большое разочарование, для меня лично. Персонажей как будто подменили, в мотивацию не верится совсем. Мир стал добрым, дружелюбным - в нём можно завести ферму и отгородиться электрической проволокой? Ещё раз, не верю.

    Искренне считаю, что произведение было законченным после первой части, история была рассказана и не нуждалась в продолжении.
    Тем грустнее, что технически данная игра - одна из лучших на рынке. Анимация, графика, локации, управление - на высоте. Видно, какое количество труда было вложено в разработку, но это только половина игры, как оказалась, не самая важная.    … Expand

    This game is extremely negative, full of death, sadness, and has a horrible ending. I bought this thinking there's no way Naughty Dog could mess up an amazing IP, but sure enough, they did. If you want to feel depressed after finishing this game, then play it. Otherwise, you aren't missing much besides a ton of swearing, violence, and gore.

    La primera parte es uno de mis juegos favoritos de todos los tiempos, pero esta segunda parte... si bien jugablemente me sigue pareciendo exquisito, la historia me dejó muy muy frío y los personajes tampoco me parecieron tan buenos como en la primera parte.

    Le doy un aprobado por la jugabilidad, pero fue una gran decepción para mi después de haber jugado a la primera parte

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers. After loving the first game so much, what a disappointment this game was. Characters I all hated - Tommy's cool - relationships I could not connect with, decisions about plot, no improvements in core game play like stealth and enemy AI. Until this game I thought Naughty Dog could do no wrong in story telling. This game was full of awful characters you hate and the way this game was written forcing you to play as those characters, ugh. The ending was maybe the dumbest I have ever seen. I'll take a NES game from my childhood that ended with "THE END! GAME OVER" I am glad Ellie ended up alone. Jump button? It got me in trouble more than anything. I forced myself to slog through until the end and I wish the game was 10 hours shorter.

    Some good things here like when you come across the Scars. Dogs can smell you. That is about it.    … Expand

Геймплей остался на уровне первой части, ничего нового не добавили. Всё та же слабенькая прокачка, прятки в траве и тому подобное. Локации стали даже более однообразными, чем были. В первой части хоть был снег, тут он тоже есть (полчаса в начале), потом ты смотришь всю остальную игру на заброшенный город. Ну и сюжет про месть, чуть лучше, чем в любом Assassin's Creed, а в том же Rogue он даже лучше. Короче лучше в это не играть, а просто прочитать сюжет, доиграл только из-за того, что было жалко потратить деньги и не пройти.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first played this game, it was my first experience to "The last of us", so my review is gonna be much more positive than others (and just so you know, I'm in a playthrough of the first right now. Will write a review when I beat that). Anyways, lets get on why I think this game is painfully mediocre.

    1: Joel's death. After playing only HALF of the first game, the sequel pisses me off SO hard. Like, I would consider main characters dying acceptable if it tied perfectly with the story and it's themes in a clear way, while also keeping it subtle. Tlou2 does absolutely none of these! What it does is instead focus on the SIDE characters (abby) in the second half of the game, which is straight up filler and a waste of not only my time, but everyone who's played this game's time. And even in the Ellie half of the story, it just shrugs off the theme it attempted to show in more of a preference towards humanizing everyone that ellie meets. That works for some stories, but THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO THE LAST OF US! It completely ignores the theme it tried to narrate until the very end of the game, where it also neglects it's theme by making it focus on ellie and abby's rivalry. And at the very end of it all, ellie spares abby, along with trans baldy with her, which is SUPER STUPID JUST KILL ABBY YOU DIPSH!T ELLIE! Anyway I talked for too long.

    2: The gameplay. It's last of us gameplay of course it's really good! Probably the only thing I really like about this game, outside of tommy (btw tommy is god tier character). But then you're reminded that the 1st's gameplay exist, then you play the 1st. If you want better gameplay from tlou2, play tlou, you won't regret it!

    3: The obnoxious bugs. When you consider that the last months of development were during the pandemic (insert infected joke here) and the fact that the game was rush immensely for a 2020 release, of course there's gonna be a lot of bugs. While in the 1st they were only visual glitches, in the 2nd, they are full on "you clip into the wall while walking into a building and you die" type glitch. I probably ran into 10 glitches while playing this game, the 1st one I talked about actually happening to me in the overworld section of the game. I also found a glitch where you dance around a door before you open it, yeah that exists.

    Anyway tlou2 is mediocre or byeeeeeeeee.    … Expand

    Abby and Ellie are not “heros” or “villains”. They’re just people making choices, some good, some bad. They both grow and they both decide to end the cycle of violence, but more than that, they both find meaning and understanding in life through their journeys.    … Expand

The story isn’t awful in it’s characteristics, but the pacing makes this game unplayable after the first play through. I almost didn’t finish it the first time around. It made the 2nd half of the game extremely unenjoyable, all I did was rush through everything as fast as I humanly could on survivor. The game play is fun but simply copy and pasted from the first game. Honestly I do like the drama but nothing is added to this world, only one new infected and one unique zombie boss that honestly was one of the best parts of the game. It simply doesn’t feel like an apocalypse. Not saying it has to be like days gone hordes in it but like, not make the zombies in the backseat. The sex scene as well was simply unneeded, all it did was expose one person as a cheater and another as a emotionless **** who never can be redeemed. They try to show two sides of a story but end up making one side simply and utterly unlikable because they never learn their lesson. It was nice to see representation of LGBTQ+ in a game and not have it forced down the players throat and be sjw like, but one character not being transphobic doesn’t make them a good person, again, they never reflect on their choices and never gives the other side an apology or anything. I admittedly maybe I rate it a 4 because of the high expectations I had for this game, but that was because the 1st was the only game ever to actually make me feel attached to the point I cried. It is okay for the fact for certain people to die in this game died, but the manner of which they died, in a dramatic and cinematic game this is, it’s just wrong and a slap in our faces. I love ya naughty dog but please, please, PLEASE if there is a part 3, don’t hurt us like this again you still have solid building blocks these characters CAN BE REDEEMED AND LOVED AGAIN. I bought last of us 1 for both ps3 and 4 and bought last of us 2 the day it came out, but if the third feels like how 2 felt, I won’t buy it. To finish this off on a high note too all the actors and programmers of this game I cherish and love the effort and work put into this game, everything but the actual progression and how things were handled in the story were absolutely gorgeous, no one deserved any hate for who they portrayed, it seriously got me through this game and it was as perfect as the 1st. Neil if you see this please don’t leave this game ik what I say is maybe harsh, but you have what it takes, you made the first game, don’t let this game make you spiral. Your ideas for this game were good, like I said that alternate ending sounded amazing. Sincerely and with hard love, Mythicalbellyrubber (p.s. after writing this I did decide to go up to 5, 4 is too low of a rate and is not a under mediocre game)… Expand

You spend a big part of the game just walking og watching cutscenes and the story told here is a mess, the big twists in the story was so easy to see coming. For some reason they force you to actually play through a lot of the cutscenes in the game, making a second playthrough a chore. At the end I felt like a wasted my time playing this game, the story was boring and what felt like 70% of the game was cutscenes or walking from point A to B while listening to the characters talking.

    This is one of those games that people have either lovely or hated, where do I stand... well despite the good things it does, I completely and total HATE is game, and hate is the right word for this.

    The good: - Graphics and attention to detail is something to be commended. - Animation of every character and NPC is flawless - Combat is satisfying and does require you to think    This is one of those games that people have either lovely or hated, where do I stand... well despite the good things it does, I completely and total HATE is game, and hate is the right word for this.

    The good:
    - Graphics and attention to detail is something to be commended.

    - Animation of every character and NPC is flawless

    - Combat is satisfying and does require you to think either on your feet or ahead of time

    - The Acting is solid from everyone, even the grunts that you're forced to kill say their lines to the highest standard

    The Bad (where to start?):
    - I said the graphics are amazing, but I don't think the visual design looks good, it's mostly grey, grey as far as the eye can see which isn't fun to look at.

    - Level design is quite simply either an over-sized corridor that doesn't look like a corridor so as to trick your brain into thinking you're not walking down a corridor, or walking down an actual corridor.

    - Mission design is pretty much, "hey see that place off in the distance, we gotta walk that for some reason, and they'll probably be something in our way that we need to brutally kill" CTRL C for 20 hours.

    - Furthermore... IT'S 20 GOD DAMN HOURS LONG!!! Way longer than it has any right to be, which makes playing it oh so very boring and frustrating after the first 10 hours.

    - Story... Jesus Christ. Metacritic only allows 5000 characters for a review, I'd need 5x that to fully example how unbelievably terrible the story, plot, writing, characters, themes and world-building are, but here's my thoughts in brief:

    - the only way I could fix the story is if it was completely rewritten, from start to finish it's stupid, slow, ridiculous, nonsensical, and full of filler, which is why it's 20 hours long

    - the plot only works if all the characters had a lobotomy beforehand, but as far as I'm aware they didn't so the plot doesn't work on any level except maybe for baby's first dramatic fiction writing.

    - despite the characters being played very well by some very talented actors who I can tell put their hearts and souls into this stinker, the characters are all terrible, despite the writers trying to make you like "certain" characters more than others, you end up hating everyone when you take a step back and think about it for 2 minutes.

    - When the overall theme of "revenge is bad" is not only predictable and has been done in a thousand other, better stories, but is horribly executed here, for example (no spoilers) Ellie does something pretty bad thing at the mid-point in order to get revenge, she seems very shaken by the experience immediately after and you'd think being a reasonable human being that she'd call it a day because of it, but in the next scene, she's completely fine, err...

    - The world in which this game takes place, i.e. zombie apocalypse doesn't sit comfortably with the overall theme, plot and story, the infected are simply there to add some continuity points and be another thing to kill, and this possibly could have been forgiven if this game wasn't attached to one of the best games that come out in the last decade and was a new IP, but it is, unfortunately, a sequel to that game which doesn't expand on the information given to us in the last game so you're more or less just wondering what's the point of this game if it's not going to expand on what the last game gave us.

    And sums up my thoughts on The Last of Us Part II, it is a game that has no right to exist the way it does, it adds nothing to the world, and literally takes everything from every single character, the first game had an overall theme of "hope", a theme that stopped that game from being a pain to play, this game is a misery to play, of all the games I've played, the good, the bad, and the forgettable, the game I regret playing the most is this one.

    For me, this game doesn't exist and The Last of Us was simply the last game in that IP    … Expand

    Great graphics, voice acting and game mechanics. Exploration is not rewarded.

    The big issue is that the story tries to subvert expectations but does so in a ham fisted way. People invested in the characters from the first game will find the subverting wrenching and brutal. Attempts to justify the narrative are also ham fisted. Story and exploration aside the game is well put together.

    Story-wise this game is a mess, relies heavily on shock value, the trailers clearly tried tricking the fanbse that you'd have more time playing as Joel, and overall it has so many other narrative problems that are worthy of being in a Netflix-original show. It really is that underwhelming.
    I wasn't really a fan of the first TLOU game but at least I was looking forward to see what was going to happen next, in TLOU2 things felt like they kept dragging on and on and on and on.
    But credit where credit is due, technologically speaking the game is a true work of art. it looks good, it plays good, the little details really sell the realism the game's going for and it has a lot of accessibility options that are always well received.    … 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.
