The story show us different types of life's perspectives, Abby has a good argument in the narrative because she is the daughter of the scientist who knew the way to cure the virus, he suffered a lot, more than Ellie (she killed all the Abby's friends). This is not a Disney story it's crude, rude and to me show what real life is.… Expand

    But on top of that there is a very solid and realistic stealth-gameplay, which created situations I will long remember.
    And the story, and what it did with me, is a pure masterpiece. The way I felt with characters, even some I didn't want to like in the beginning, was so intense, like the best movies not often manage to accomplish. I cried (some small :) tears of joy and tears of sorrow during this tour de force.

    When I cleared the game, I realized what Neil wanted to express. In this chaotic world, there is no absolute good and evil, when we try to start from the perspective of Abby, everything is reasonable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS (do I have to do this?)

    Genius game balanced between engaging gameplay and totally unpredictable and expertly written story. We don’t normally get stories of this depth and complexity in games. This is my take on the ending:

    We go through Ellie’s chapter thinking we are enacting righteous revenge. Then the story flips and we experience Abby story, a character who we find out has seemingly completed that very same revenge (killing of their father figure). Over the course of her three days we find that the act of revenge didn’t change anything for Abby, that she was still haunted by nightmares, shes still emotionally broken from losing her father, and she still is neglecting the pain of losing Owen to Mel. She’s trying to move on because she knows revenge didn’t solve anything. Ellie pushes her to the breaking point again but this time but Lev pulls her back. Her people. THIS, is her reason for living now, not revenge. Then we snap back to Ellie and we have to go through the excruciating steps of abandoning everything for revenge. Because of abby’s story we know it won’t solve anything, only lead to more loss, but we have to go through the motions anyway.

    This was the hardest part of the game for me. I wanted Ellie to just turn the **** around the entire time. Finally when she sees Abby and Lev and the state their in, she starts questioning everything. Is this really what she wants to do? Will it bring Joel back to kill this emaciated and broken person? She thinks she has to go through with killing Abby to move on. Finally, on the brink of doing so she sees Joel, sees that she’ll never stop missing him, see’s that her forgiveness and love for him isn’t dependent on vengeance. Whether Abby is alive or dead she is left with loss. So she gives up on vengeance and truly begins to mourn what she’s lost.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great game. It’s harder to play emotionally than the first game, but for a reason. It makes you think about your actions more as a player. All the intimate details of violence make you question what you’re doing. You’re not Joel, as much as you try. And I think it’s clear that Joel wouldn’t want you to be like him. The first main plot point to happen is inevitable but heartbreaking all the same. And it just. keeps. going. +1 for Lev, the new Ellie. Because old Ellie is dead. Side note: A lot of the low user reviews for this game say things like ‘AllLivesMatter’ and make fun of social justice and lgbt people. No joke. That should tell you off the bat they’re not worth listening to.… Expand

    Overall movement is fluid and feels natural. The controls are extremely intuitive and anything you don't like, pretty much anything at all, can be changed or turned off. There are about 60 unique options and accessibility settings to fine tune your experience.

    The rope mechanics. Just using rope in this game feels like...well it feels real. Flexible materials in games are usually very fake looking. But here, it's much more convincing. For instance it needs to be bunched up before you can throw it, and the way it wraps around objects is nothing I've seen in gaming before. (you can use google to confirm this for yourself)

    The guitar. My God, the guitar. People are actually playing entire songs on it. (Again, you can google to confirm this) I'm no good at instruments but it pulls me back to when I was a kid, trying guitar lessons, It's a great feeling and it makes for a very good break in the action, helping with the pacing of the game.

    As for the story, that's what has some people really riled up. It's true that some people won't like the direction the story takes. However that does not make it bad. Play for yourself and decide for yourself, because everything else about this game is indisputably phenomenal. Don't let the salty boys convince you into missing out on this extremely well made game.    … Expand

Я не испытывал не каких эмоций. может так было задуманно?? Типо после всего этого пути жажда мести угасла?? после того что сделала Эбби. как можно было пощадить этого человека? это очень эмоциональная игра, и я понимаю что этот финал будут разбирать годами. но я думаю в финале нужно было сделать выбор убить или пощадить Эбби. Каждый бы сам решил что делать с этим персонажем. эх... да я понимаю что Джоэл и Элли тоже не самые лучшие люди. Они (убивали,пытали и т.д). Джоэл убил отца Эбби. Элли убила друзей Эбби. вообщем эта игра очень играет с нашими эмоциями и всю эту кашу переварить за пару дней не возможно. Но такие игры выходят не каждый год.

    The Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece. People keep saying Joel deserved better. Did he really?! Joel was never heroic. We rationalized his actions in the first game and created a hero’s mythology for him because that’s the nature of video games. That hospital scene at the end of Part 1 was an act of pure evil. No matter how you cut it. That was the moment Joel went from lovable fatherThe Last of Us Part 2 is a masterpiece. People keep saying Joel deserved better. Did he really?! Joel was never heroic. We rationalized his actions in the first game and created a hero’s mythology for him because that’s the nature of video games. That hospital scene at the end of Part 1 was an act of pure evil. No matter how you cut it. That was the moment Joel went from lovable father figure willing to do anything to protect his “daughter” and the memory of his biological daughter to a villain. And the fact that Ellie reveals in Part 2 that SHE ACTUALLY WANTED TO DIE, makes it even worse. In video games the quest is usually to “save the world”. In The Last of Us Part 1 we ended up realizing we played as a character who at the end stopped the world from being saved in a selfish act (that we admittedly empathized with because we experienced the heartbreak of Joel losing his daughter and the incredible bond he developed with Ellie). That STILL doesn’t justify what he did. Not only did he murder a slew of innocent people, HE STOPPED THE WORLD FROM BEING SAVED. It turned the entire video game medium on its ears. Brilliantly. And words can’t describe how genius it was for Naughty Dog to give players the “choice” to shoot the doctor or not at the end. I always thought that was ingenious. But man oh man The Last of Part 2 let’s us see just how GENIUS it was. Violence begets violence, karma is cyclical, and no good deed goes unpunished. Whether we “like” it or not Joel had it coming. As does most characters in this **** world of human depravity where THERE ARE NO HEROES. The amount of emotion Naughty Dog was able to illicit from me with The Last of Us Part 2 is some sort of artistic miracle. The key to making Abby’s character work was she was actually the FIRST character to realize the destruction her actions was causing and decided to break the cycle. So by the end of the game I loved Abby’s character and wanted her to find peace just as much as Ellie. The fact that they pulled that off is astonishing. I love her relationship with Owen and the Aquarium sequence was an ingenious set piece that they used to perfection. That being said, they used those moments of serenity against us because the moment they made us have a “boss fight” with Ellie as the villain and forced us to choke her out is one of the most gut-wrenching sequences Ive ever witnessed. In a game of movie. First time in my life I was “scared” to press a button on the controller. I didn’t want any part of it. AND THATS THE POINT. The Last of Us Part 2 is the greatest deconstruction of violence and it’s consequences ever made. In any medium. Period.… Expand

    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.
