    I feel this game is definitely masterpiece quality and an amazing game all in all I just am disappointed with the direction they took it because the last of us is my favorite game of all time and part 2 is disappointing to me but I still had fun and a great time playing probably won’t play again but still a great game

    The game is not a masterpiece but a very good game. Gameplay mechanics in comparison with the first part seems more "alive". Well-written characters, interesting fights, large locations, as well as wonderful graphics give a storm of emotions. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with this game (of course, after passing the first part).

    For me this game is an absolute masterpiece, regardless what others say about it (cuz the most of them didn‘t even finished the game), after RDR2 i thought no game can ever could break me like this again but naughty dog did it. No game got me this emotional like TLOU2! Also everyone which say the story is bad, didn‘t even understood the whole point about the story.

    I can't believe they treated Joel like that just for the shock value... another case of a franchise dying just because it has to be ruined by bad storytelling.

Но следует уточнить , что призывного ничего нет , как это было в TLOU1 , но следует уточнить , что кат сцены на высоте и твои глаза радуются им , словно смотришь на небо Аустерлийца. Визуал похвалил , теперь перейдем к такой важной теме , как гомосексуализм , феминизм , которого в данной игре достаточно... 1. Эбби имеет руки , что моё почтение... Как-будто не женщина , а мужчина... Скажу честно это неприятно , но со временем просмотра привыкаешь. 2.Сексуальные сцены как однополые , так и разнополые присутствуют... Нормально это или нет ? Не знаю , но 21 век на дворе , по-моему это необходимо принять , но я понимаю других игроков , тем более русскую ЦА , которая негативна относится к гомосексуальным меншинствам. Но к ориентации Элли удочка была также закинута в DLS к первой части. На этом предпочтут остановиться, ибо мусолить данную тему не хочу , ды и меня она как то не особенно затронула. Если не любите пропаганду гомосексуализма , то не играйте в данную игру. ( Хотя она не такая плохая , как её оценили большое кол-во ЦА) СЮЖЕТ. (спойлерить не буду ) Основной критерий, за который TLOU2 была осаждена недовольствием ЦА. Скажу пару моментов (Спойлерить не буду ) Игра пройдется вам по нервам!(Обязательно сыграй(те) в первую часть ! ) Сюжет очень необычный и в некоторых моментах может показаться глупым , тупыми , банальным , но это лишь на первый взгляд. Он помогает понять , что испытывает каждый герой , чего он хочет и какую цену он за это отдаст. Его необходимо понять и обдумать. Лично я получил от просмотра данной игры следующие чувства : злость , уныние, непонимание , отрицание. Сюжет играет по вашим чувствам , как Элли играет на гитаре. Вывод. Я могу 4 тома написать о данной игре , но не буду. Игра понравилась. Стоит ли тебе её покупать ? Не знаю... Подумай. Сначала оценил данную игру в в диапазоне 6из10 , но прошло пару деньков , и игре я щедро накинул 2 балла .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Estuve leyendo muchas reseñas de este juego, pero ninguna empatizo con lo que siento, por eso escribo esta reseña, nunca antes lo había hecho, pero jugué The last of us 1 y su historia fue tan emotiva y natural, nunca pensé que la segunda parte decepcionaría tanto.
    Empezare por lo bueno, Los gráficos son excelentes al tope de esta generación, la jugabilidad es muy buena y suave, las animaciones son geniales lo mejor que he visto hasta ahora, en estos aspectos es un juego de 10, no note tanto la música como el primer juego, sin embargo lo entiendo, pues esto se debe a que siguen los mimos tonos y estilo que el primero. No dejan de ser excelentes temas.
    Ahora vamos a la parte mala. Mi opinión sobre cómo tiene que ser un video juego para que éste sea bueno, sobre todo en esta clase de juego donde su historia tiene mucho peso e intenta darnos una lección a nivel moral, psicológica, es que tiene que dejarnos llenos a nivel emocional, esta clase de historia cuentan hechos que todos conocemos pero que pasan desapercibidos en nuestra vida diaria hasta que juegos o películas como estos nos los traen a la luz y nos los dejan brillando en nuestra mente para que los recordemos y no nos olvidemos de esta lecciones de la vida que nos hacen crecer emocionalmente. Sin embargo, en the last of us parte 2 no es el caso. Al pasarme el juego no quede con una sensación satisfactoria como en red dead Redeption 2 o el mismo the last of us 1 , si no que me sentí vacío por dentro, a penas lo termine se me ocurrieron 10 historias distintas que pudieron haber sido mucho mejores que la original, entiendo lo que trataron de hacer con la historia de este juego, pero están muy mal contada y el final muy mal echo, me da la sensación de que en los últimos meses de desarrollo decidieron cambiar la historia repentinamente. No obstante pude empatizar con los personajes, me costó, pero pude entender porque Ellie y Abby hicieron lo que hicieron en este juego. Aun así es decepciónate ver como teniendo la oportunidad de haber creado una gran y emociónate historia la desarrollaron de la peor forma teniendo tantas opciones para el éxito. Una de las cosas que más me incomodo fue la forzosa relación entre Ellie y Dina, se nota en la interpretación de los actores una relación fingida no natural, es como si intentaran a la fuerza poner juntas a estos 2 personajes que no tienen ninguna conexión emocional entre ellas. Verdaderamente hicieron que terminara decepcionado de la nueva personalidad fría y sin sentido de Ellie, comprendo que pudiera haber cambiado de niña a adolecente, sin embargo, un personaje que ha pasado por tantas situaciones dolorosas, por lógica debe ser más maduro mental mente que el resto y por ende tomar decisiones mas sabias y racionales. A diferencia de otras personas, el personaje que encontré que más aceptable es Abby, ya que tuvo la madures mental de darse cuenta de que había cometido un error al asesinar a Joel de forma cruel e intento redimirse perdonándole la vida de Ellie en más de una ocasión y salvando la vida de otro personaje el cual no me quedo totalmente clara su sexualidad.
    En fin, es un juego bueno nivel visual y técnico pero falla en la parte más importante de un video juego de esta clase .. la construcción de su historia. Esto no importaría mucho si fuera un juego como The división o warframe donde la historia no es su fuerte, pero este… este juego si señores. En términos de valor es su historia en la cual recae el 80% de valor del juego, por esto las notas de los usuarios han sido tan malas, por esto el juego a decepcionado a tantas personas que venían venir una historia solida a nivel argumental. Algunos defienden el juego diciendo que este no es una historia echa para gustarle a los fans, pero por favor, sobre qué otra cosa más se pueden hacer los juegos si no para que a toda la gente le guste y se sienta bien jugándolo para sacarle todo el provecho, esa es la intención, ese es el propósito de un juego, divertirnos y dejarnos un buen sabor de boca. Espero con esto 2 cosas, que los señores que hicieron la historia de este juego aprendan y no vuelvan a cometer este tipo de errores insólitos, y 2 que la gente se dé cuenta de cuan vendida esta la prensa de hoy en día, todos dando nota sobre 9, es que no puede ser más evidente! La gente no puede seguir creyéndole a estos mentirosos que engañan a quienes se supone deberían ayudar con sus análisis para que los usuarios puedan invertir sabiamente su dinero que tanto trabajo cuesta ganárselo.    … Expand

    "Revenge is a fools game"
    TLOU 2 is one of the most interesting games I have played. Graphics are obviously awesome. Gameplay is alright (it could be a bit more intuitive like uncharted but its not a big deal).
    The reason for the high ranking is the story. I like it. Its about the relativity of revenge. Everything someone does out of hate backfires -> thats the morale of the **** story.    "Revenge is a fools game"

    I catch myself thinking about it a lot. But the most astonishing thing about this game is: It teaches you about human behaviour. The game achieves this effect not only through its story but also through the impact it had on gamers. Never was a well-made game praised by the critics and doomed by the the users at the same time. Surprisingly the most reviews were given 48 hours after release, which is funny because the game is 25 - 30 hours long.

    However, The Last Of Us II was an experience I surely wont forget.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I pretty much knew the game wouldnt be as good as the first one. But I still brought it just to see what the story is about. The first 2 hrs you get no play time as Joel and instead we get a brutal death. Afterwards it makes you wonder why Joel and Tommy were so easy going on telling them there names and where they live. And what's more is that Joel didnt do anything when Abby had the shotgun. The two are suppose to have 20 years of apocalyptic experience but get destroyed by a bunch of rookies that didnt even think bout killing tommy and Ellie afterwards, makes you wonder if they just did it on purpose just because. Another issue in the game is that you are forced to play as Abby for 10 hrs and they try to force you to feel sorry for her. Realistically you cant because her dad was a dochebag and didnt even ask what Ellie wanted and wasnt even planning on telling Joel in the first place. There was forced romance which was not needed because it seemed so outta of place and they give the women in the game to much power which made it seem that they were being sexist such as killing Jesse, Joel and handicapping Tommy. And finally you didnt even get your revenge instead Ellie wimps out and let's Abby, go leaving you with nothing. Some people might say Joel had it coming and that he was meant to die but honestly his actions are justified. He did it because he didnt want to lose another daughter he had no one else to care for after Tess was gone. And like I said before they weren't going to give Ellie a choice to give up on her life. I regret my buy has to be one of the worst games of 2020… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to vent and express my frustration with disappointment, the story line is weak and is clearly pushing a narrative down your throat, the story does not flow well at all throughout the whole experience. We are forced to play a character during the last half of the game that I really didnt care about playing. And then I was left empty and unsatisfied at the end of the game, my whole journey was basically pointless and a waste of time. This is a problem and pattern with game developers, you start a great game and turn into crap and ruin it with sequels they think we want instead of making game sequels we want. Sorry Naughty Dog I dont think the TLOU franchise is salvageable anymore and you deserve a boycott. These game reviewer critics that are giving this game perfect scores are lying and they dont want to be blacklisted. Save your money, I had high hope and expectations and I was disappointed and lost respect for Naughty Dog.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion the game was great, good graphics, good sound, kinda gory sometimes. Yeah, true, the game didnt evolved a lot combat wise, the aiming is still kinda clunky for me ( but bow's aiming has been greatly improved)

    I think the story shouldve ended back when Abby let Dina and Ellie go, after that it feels so dragged on and literally nothing changes beside Ellie losing 2 fingers.
    Don't mind the bad reviews, the story is not an oscar winning story but its pretty good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I guess I share my back story with this franchise with the vast majority of people here. I absolutely love the first game and have anticipated the sequel impatiently. However, from my very first encounter with The Last of Us years ago I've felt more attached to Ellie than Joel so for me making her the main focus of the story in the continuation was really a dream coming true. That's probably why I find Joel's death (even despite the overwhelming sadness of the moment) a good starting point of the whole narrative and something that gives Ellie very strong motivation for the revenge.
    The first half of the game (everything up until the initial confrontation of Ellie and Abby in the theater) truly left me invested in the story and eager for more. I very much liked watching the relationship between Ellie and Dina evolving and the comfort it gave the main character as well as the player. For me, the camera shots of Ellie's back and the shift in her emotional state, were (and stil are) enough of an anti-violence message that Naughty Dog was surely aiming to deliver.
    And here unfortunately comes the second half of the story... At the beginning of the Abby-oriented storytelling I was convinced it was only for a little while (to add some valuable insights into the character's past etc.). I'm totally okay with temporary changes of the player's perspective (after all it worked in the first game), but why anyone though that it was a good idea to throw everything straight into the trash bin and to force us to solve the problems of the person we wholeheartedly hate for the next ten hours? And don't even get me started on making the player fight Ellie...
    I'm happy that they at least allowed me see the ending of the story through Ellie's eyes and it was very emotionally-charged and thought-provoking, but honestly I was so tired after this whole "Abby twist" that it wasn't as touching kind of closure as I'd been hoping for before all of that happened.
    To nicely sum the thing up, The Last of Us Part II isn't a failure at its core - it's still top notch from the strictly technical point of view, but it was unpleasant for me to see some strange storytelling experiments in my beloved game - there are DLCs for example to implement such ideas. In addition, what's made the disappointment even worse was the advertising - not a word has been said that something like that is coming story-wise and if something takes up about a half of your product, you should mention it. All in all, let me just quote Dina - "I'd give it a six".    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2 out of 10 for the graphics, too bad the rest of the game brings it down. Gameplay-wise( same as the seven-year-old entry) and especially story-wise.

    This game is not telling a story it's trying to push a message. A poor one at that and it disregards all of feelings we had towards the existing characters.

    Remember if someone kills your dad you'd best just get over it.

    The reason players don't care for abby
    is not because they're bad and they don't see her pain, it's because Abby isn't a part of our tribe, i.e. Joel and Ellie. Players want her dead and she rightfully should be. This game is so unfulfilling it's like having to sneeze but you can't.

    This story should have ended with the first game.

    Oh and all those disingenuous 10 out of 10 scores, that's disgusting.    … 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]
