    Here is what i think:
    I Think that the game is about Joel & Ellie , but for most of the game it's about joel, so why do you kill the main guy ?
    1. shock effect ? really ? apocalyptic/zombie movies did it 1000 times already
    2. they made Joel look "idiotic" by going to strangers and telling them his name ....
    That is a disrespect to the intelect of Joel, the guy was in a cruel world for a long time to know how to survive.He has the instinct of survival.
    3. To think that someone would prefer to sacrifice their daughter to save humanity ,should not be a father.
    so that on itself should not be an argument because why the **** would Ellie want to die.
    Like WTF ,she was Angry on joel for saving her life and lying just to make her feel better ?
    4. About Dina i feel like we don't really get allot of time to be "connected" to her, we don't see enough cutscenes with both Ellie and Dina.
    and yea sure i am your girlfriend , i will join you on a deadly revenge journey for no reason.

    5. Dina is pregnant ??how? WHEN? why? unnecessary thing to add to story...just a reason to put dina aside and let ellie go all alone...
    6. Le'ts also talk about how they killed pretty much all the characters in the game and we didn't get to connect to them.
    7. two sex scenes and two pregnant woman
    8. No option for making choices (i did not kill the doctor in the first game)
    The only thing that i agree with is that
    Life Doesn’t Always Have A Happy Ending
    Everybody are at risk. That is why the game took a path no one likes and not allot of games or movies do it.
    By the way i should also say that the game is not very good for your health , you get depression , anxiety .
    That can cause allot of heart problems , mental problems and shock.
    ALL THAT JUST TO MAKE THE LAST OF US PART 3 ?

    How the story could have been?
    1.Show Abby as Ellie's mom
    or
    2,Kill Dina or Jessie or Tommy and make ellie and joel kill the abby (joel dies in the way)
    or
    3.A huge group makes terror in jackson and now they on the run...
    or
    4.Make a story about other people in the world...    … Expand

    Just why? WHY TF NAUGHTY DOG. Gameplay isn't improved too much. I really only give it this score due to the incredible graphics. Yet, the graphics don't save the game because of the horrific story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible writing. This is the most unsatisfying game that I have ever played. We don’t even get our revenge, no instead we forgive the person that killed our father figure. What they advertised is not what we got. The gameplay and visuals are amazing but the story and characters are garbage. Unbelievable, I can not believe that we waited 7 YEARS for this disappointment of “entertainment”. If this game gets GoTY then I am finished with games, because I don’t want this garbage to be the future of gaming. I play games to be entertained and not to be lectured.… Expand

    Gamplay is tight and responsive, with thrilling and sometimes straight panicking moments, but in the studios efforts to make the story shocking, it falls flat, and becomes a generic revenge story which isn't bad in itself, but the way it was executed and written leaves A LOT to be desired.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I knew Joel was going to die months before the official announcement. but TWO HOURS!? in the game and in such a kick in the face way of the part 1 Fans? So the Game is around 25 Hours game play give or take for the Normal difficulty. Now I will say the graphics are absolutely beautiful the combat is very similar to part 1 ( which is fine ) but a little clunky its nothing much upgraded as they said.

    So the first half of the game is playing as Ellie with Dina for most of it out on a mission for JUSTICE for the brutal torture and murder of Joel by Abby encountering much more of the WLF than infected, despite the hordes you see throughout.

    Ellie begins avenging Joel by taking out the people who where apart of Abby's group, now it is getting slightly fatiguing with all these new characters coming into the game. There was absolutely no connection with these new characters in part 2 in comparison to the connection with Joel and Ellie in the first game you genuinely felt the bond.

    So fast forward through the first half of the story as Ellie, you stay in a Theatre with Dina and then soon to be joined by Tommy and Jesse. Abby jumps Tommy, ellie and jesse run out, Jesse instantly killed with a bullet to the head then a tense stand off between Abby and Ellie cutting to black with abby aiming her gun at ellie.

    2nd half of the Story you play as Abby, which is drawn out WAY TOO LONG, i was hoping it would be a compressed part like left behind in part 1, but no you play about 13-15 hours as Abby? you get some insight and backstory about her which i did not sympathise with her at all. It was really draining me playing as abby rushing through combat areas just to finish this day 1-3 as her ASAP. finally seeing it through hoping there would be some relief back at the Theatre. Tommy distracting abby for Ellie to make an escape but Tommy seemingly killed and I say out loud "of course you kill Tommy too" but to my disgust you CONTINUE PLAYING AS ABBY and HUNT DOWN ELLIE BEATING HER MULTIPLE TIMES.

    Ranting on way too long here but dina and ellie dont day die to Lev questioning Abby, fast forward Lev and Abby are searching for fire-flies that have reformed SO YOU PLAY MORE AS ABBY SIGH. they get captured by a faction called The Rattlers. swaps back to Ellie and Dina on a Farm which is drawn out a bit too long and fatiguing which i initially thought this would be the end game of them just at the farm with Jesses baby. Nope Ellie must end this. Ellie tracks down The Rattler base finds Abby they fight on the beach Abby biting ellies hand off and Abby is on deaths door then a flash back of joel playing guitar makes Ellie spare her all for nothing,

    Joels death all in vain. Ellie returns to an empty farm as dina left, she attempts to play guitar but cannot without her missing fingers and it finishes ellie leaving the farm. This game is a complete blow to the Original fans and disrespect to the original characters. I wont play this again its left such a bad taste and I went into this game with very low expectations still I am disgusted as to how this Story and game turned out, i Regret buying the $300 edition. Game was uninstalled the next day from my ps4, i have put away my ellie statue and anything part 2 related because i do not wish to see the reminder of such disrespect and how out of character the original characters where. Naughty Dog are not one of my favourite Game Devs any longer. It should have ended of Part 1 and part 1 ONLY. ( not to mention the scars, wouldnt they way they communicate draw in infected?)

    ( The ones truly outraged are the real Last of us Fans, not just these people who call it all out as hate and are just blindly praising regardless of how potentially terrible and disappointing it can be )

    Graphics 9/10
    Story 3/10
    Combat 6/10

    Boring and repetative gameplay for 30+ hours that was supposed to be justified by the story that is boring and repetative as well. It is full of filler episodes and cliches that are 50 years old classic of post-apocalypse genre but were advertised as groundbreaking and new.

    1. что с камерой? камера ведет себя очень плохо - посмотрит в DS-серию, как надо делать камеру
    2. что с управлением? то не прыгается, то не бьется. то можно бежать, то нельзя. по мобам - фиг попадешь. вроде бы это смесь DS + кино, но для DS слишком плохое управление, слишком.

    окей - далее - коль кино - значит важен сюжет. ктото топит что мол ЛГБТ - да пофиг, к эту претензий ноль. минус в том, что все очень непоследовательно. вот она пытает, а вот не может выстрелить. вот она валит людей пачками, а потом не может. обе - взрослеют - но все также идут на поводу мести. хотя по факту это все забывает за год. и эти все чувства разносят в клочья кучу выживщих, поселения и прочее. это какая то сказка, но которая подана как реальность. это повествование учит быть непоследовательным, не держать чувства в узде, убивать по первой прихоти и тут же - не убивать. очень все старанно... не рекомендую. это кино оставляет кучу вопросов и удивление... кино как быть нытиком и истеричкой. и это про всех, не только про девченок. и диким дырами в сюжете... вообщем - Детроит лучше. а в это не играете, не надо...

The Weapons customization.

    The bad: It seems like a bad copy of the mix of the Rambo, Final Destination and SAW movies (excess violence and gore just for the gore itself, violence only for violence, without escape valves). The game is boring. The visual impact of "semi-open environments" is soon over. Action scripted. Weapon customization is good, but magic falls off when there are few bullets and it's more "entertaining" to block and punch some enemies. There are many cracks, chests of drawers and doors that baffle because they are only put there as a decorative wallpaper. Some bugs appear (Ellie without a right arm, blocked faces in the background, blurred faces in distant models, lighting problems with the flashlight, which probably already has a patch in this regard). Scripted sequences “go forward” only go forward (which does look good, but is still a hallway). The restrictions imposed by the embargo imposed by Sony Playstation, Naugthy Dog to the analyzes limiting the opinions to only the first 13 parts of the game and from then on "the doubtful part and the controversial part" do not enter the analyzes, therefore those 10 cannot be sustained.

    The Meh!: No game is perfect. The press knew that the leaks were true and yet they never warned or warned about the changes in the cast, this detracts from their credibility due to the bias of the embargo This game is rated M for “Mature” / PEGI18, so I don't know why they are trying to sell this game to children under 18 who shouldn't be playing it. All that feeling of The politically correct and to be well with the groups that the press gave off for this game on paper sounded "good", in the leaked video it already warned us that it was not what was expected, in the execution it fails since it is not merely fun and it will make you feel bad, a video game should give you other sensations not make you feel bad. This game is not a 10/10, but not a resounding 0 either.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I preordered the game, but due to the major spoiler I had and the whirl of controversies after the game’s release, I decided to postpone my first playthrough. Here, after a year of calming down the heat, I believe I can play the game with unbiased opinions. First, the graphics is probably one of the best if not the best of the last gen console. It’s really impressive what the programmers at the Naughty Dog did to make all that happen. Second, the gameplay has major upgrades compared with TLOU1. Considering the TLOU series is heavily story-oriented, it’s impressive that so much upgrades can happen from TLOU1 to TLOU2. Last but not least, the story. As I said, both the two games are heavily story-oriented, but what makes TLOU1 unique is not its story but the way the story is told. It’s the details accumulated during Joel and Ellie’s journey that makes the final decision of Joel’s astonishing but reasonable. While in the sequel, innovations are made in terms of the storytelling, but the story itself has big loopholes, which makes the game less enjoyable. I guess the main theme the game wants to convey is the meaninglessness of revenge, but even with the innovative ways of telling the story, the game fails to do so. Instead of filling the players with the void of revenge, the strong emotion of revenge is carried on even more so towards the end of the game. A good comparison I make is with Metal Gear Solid V. MGSV is also about revenge, but the hatred towards the Skull Face and the desire to revenge abates towards the end, with the reasonable storytelling. In conclusion, TLOU2 deserves praise for its beautiful graphics, surprisingly good gameplay, even innovative narrative style, but it fails to convey its core idea because of its poor screenwriting. It would be at least a 7/10 if it’s not a story-oriented game. It’s really a pity.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, my critic isn't in ANY WAY directed to any aspect of gender as said so by many people who enjoyed the game. First of all, adressing the story problems of "retconning", wich is directly affected by the character of Joel, that dies very early in the game (problematic in this sense and also on the fact that Naughty Dog has put scenes with him in the trailer, but in the final product is another character), making the way for the entire plot of Ellie's revenge. The story by itself is pretty weak and cliché, but could at least had some more convincing end. For example a very simple way of fixing the end: Both Abby and Ellie getting captured and they are forced to work with each other to escape the enemies, and then later, have the very same ending. Why? Because this would at least make more sense for Ellie's internal emotional conflict. Gameplay-wise it's kinda ok, nothing changed that much from the first one but at least I could see some improvements on the AI and map exploring (it's a little bit bigger if compared), but again, nothing really changed. I expected more from Naughty Dog, this is the first time that they are doing something more 'risky', but at least I waiting for something more convincing. Huge congratulations for the team that worked on the engine, as well the animations, sound design, voice and acting. Sadly I can't say the same for the writing. 4/10.… Expand

    The game has horrific graphics and some decent, but repetitive action gameplay. Sadly the game is largely held back by very poor writing direction that seems intended to be annoying rather than interesting. So it has achieved its goal: it has annoyed me.

    -The graphics are very good indeed, but that's expected from the latest AAA game.
    -The soundtrack is nice. I wish they'd taken inspiration from RDR series and used music to truly enhance some moments though.
    -The story isn't good: they tried to subvert expectations but they only succceded in disappointing us. It is a truly mess in terms of pacing, lots of moments don't make sense and in the end it is pretty a boring revenge story with no payoff. They tried to send the message that revenge isn't good, which is rather unoriginal and badly done.
    -The characters I have mixed opinion of: some of the interactions are warmhearting and realistic, but in general they behave rather irrationally or out of character. Also a character is quite obviously the director which is a bit pathetic.
    -The replayability is unexistent.
    -The fun/entertainment factor is almost unexistent as too many parts of the game are just a slog.
    All in all TLoU2 isn't a terrible game, but it is a disaster when compared to the original and I suggest to simply watch a playthrough instead.

The waiter serves you the most delicious steak you ever had in your whole life on an fine silverware. They bring the bottle of exquisitely aged vine to go with it.
    Now here is the catch- just as you take the first bite, the waiter stabs you with a rusty screwdriver to the side. As you keep eating and drinking he keeps doing it again and again. No matter how delicious the meal, you no longer care and would not be able to concentrate on the meal and enjoy it.
    In the end, you are being served a great looking bittersweet dessert but you never get a chance to taste it, they let you look at it very close and then take it away. Then you are politely walked outside of the restaurant

    To sum it up I can say this game is an example where terrible story overshadows all other aspects. If you are looking for a game that has next-gen graphics, amazing audio and just want to enjoy very well done survivalaction gameplay, you should play this game for sure. If you are a fan of the first part and it's characters I would suggest you to stay away, as no matter how fluidly the game plays and no matter how graphics are amazing, you will just get frustrated and depressed by the story, and the enjoyment of the gameplay would be gone.    … 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]
