    Feels like just walking dead... If they changed all characters and said that this is walking dead, would be better, that's not the last of us

    At first after finishing the game I honestly couldn’t say I liked it. I almost hated it. That was what was so interesting to me.

Not the just the engaging and “fun” parts of revenge where you can feel awesome hacking at people on your road to what you believe is just. This is about all the parts of revenge. The ugliest parts. The depressing parts. We aren’t meant to feel good at the end of this game. We leave it feeling sobered. Anyone who had trouble playing this game, as did I, you are not wrong in feeling that way. This game is heavy. You are meant to have a hard time. But I am glad I finished it because it’s a game that will stick with me for a long time much like the first if not more than the first game. It’s meant to stick in your head and alter how you see things. This game was an experience. The first game felt like a journey where we were able to see Joel and Ellie. However, this game it was like I was Ellie. I was the one dealing the blows. I was the one having the traumatic feelings. I was the one right in her shoes. This game is meant to be played, not watched. You are meant to hold the controller. If you don’t, you are doing this game a great disservice for something that games this generation don’t do. It is thought provoking and it is sobering. Go in it with an open mind, leave all your expectations at the door because this shattered mine.… Expand

    Я не ставил специально высокий бал игре, чтобы люди понимали, что так бороться с играми бесполезно. Люди выступают за свободу слова, но когда она им не уместна они жалуются. Что в принципе очевидно. Эта игра по всей строгости может получить 8 баллов, никак не 9 и не 10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easy things first.

    Graphics are amazing.
    Has been pointed out by many, no need to talk about this anymore.
    The voice over acting is very good.
    Music is nice, but some more fitting 'mood music', while fighting through the different areas,
    would have been even nicer.

    The gameplay is not that much different to TLOU.
    Some minor improvements, but nothing spectacular.
    Feels familiar and I can't say it really bothers me that much.

    Now, the story.
    If you look at the game as a pretty lengthy DLC, the story is actually ok.
    A tale of revenge and its consequences.
    The moral being delivered might not suit everyone, but there has been worse.

    The problem is though, there is no game that preceded this DLC.

    Imagine TLOU2 being about Joel and Ellie diving deeper into the questions that actual matter in this universe. Being it a potential cure, the 'actual' origin and events of this apocalypse or anything else that actually had a major impact on the universe.
    What if there are more people like Ellie? It would put the actions of the known characters in a different light.
    After the game would have dealt with those things, this DLC could have been a nice fit to wrap things up.

    But this is not what the players got.
    What we got was a vehicle to transport a message.
    Which again, might be fitting for a DLC.

    The whole experience feels artificially stretched.
    You can tell what type of enemies will be around the next corner or fence.
    You fought the infected in the previous section? Time to frag some humans now.
    Rinse and repeat.
    Cut out the repetitions, and you end up with a 10 hour DLC.

    The experience just felt shallow.

    Flashbacks can be a nice way to provide additional insight on a character's motivation.
    Here, they feel like an excuse for not being able to deliver a immerse game in the first place.
    You go back and forth and it feels irrelevant.
    There's no bonding with characters, no matter how many flashbacks you go through.
    Flashbacks may add some additional insight in other games, here, they provide the only insight and it feels hollow.

    Would players be able to bond with Abby?
    Would players be able to understand how the death of her dad turned her into the person she's portrayed as?
    I'd say, yes, absolutely!

    But you don't get the chance to do so.
    The time spent playing Abby is wasted by rescuing people you care even less about.
    People that have no actual impact on the rest of the story or the character development.
    The latter was probably the intention, but the game never manages to pull this off.

    The devs and all the work they put into the technical aspects of the game would have deserved a much better story. I would be disappointed (to say the least) as, for example, an environmental artist, that my excellent work is being held hostage by this story. The story and character development made TLOU great for many players. The impressive technical accomplishments, by that time, were the cherry on top. TLOU2 delivers on the cherry part, but the cake is just awfully undercooked.    … Expand

If on the other hand you want to kill zombies and walk just grinding with no reason, then this is a fairly expensive way of doing that. The graphics and physics of this game are top notch for the PS4, but I think is not worth the suffering. Would you go to the cine to see a great CG movie with a horrible plot? If yes then this is your game. Just be aware that is trying too much to be politically correct.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. К сожалению, разочарование. Конфета с говном. Визуал прекрасен, сюжетная составляющая очень слабая. Вместо того, чтобы поменять порядок частей, дать сначала отыграть за Эбби и проникнуться мотивацией, нас заставляют (а это игра, где нельзя скипануть геймплей) играть за персонажа, который считывается сразу. Все ее поступки предсказуемы. И ты играешь, надеясь на глубину, а ее нет. Просто тратишь время на однообразный геймплей, который работает только в связке с острым сюжетом и переживаниями. Как только они исчезают, геймплей начинает раздражать. В итоге, получается плохая работа, которую, конечно же, защищают тем, что мы просто чего-то не поняли или слишком неэмпатичны , чтобы прочувствовать. Но история, за всей мишурой глубины, очень и очень простая с обеих сторон: со стороны Элли и со стороны Эбби. Просто в первой половине есть эмоциональная привязка, во второй ее нет.

    Концовка, вообще, раздражает.

    В сухом остатке, сценаристы банально не справились с двухсторонней подачей элементарной истории, видимо, из-за того, что давным давно потеряли связь с реальностью. Жалко потраченного времени.    … 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.
