    Drakman damn killed the legend. Dumb vile gay.
    It would be better if this freak was never born.
    How much do you need to be scum to screw up such a series?

    My resume after 5 hours of play: Lame history, bad gameplay, gorgeous exteriors, awful interiors.

    The game feels severily dated in the gameplay. the skirmishes were heavily scripted, and the 'game' is 50% dated gameplay and 50% cinematics and walking around.

    The first part of the title was a WAY BETTER game than this second part. skip if you can, or wait for a heavy discount.

    I can’t say much because I don’t like spoiling but whoever wrote this game doesn’t understand some basic story writing aspects that all the great writers for books/movies always follow. There isn’t an arc, a point of maturity, it’s a hollow husk that borrows the name of the previous game only in letters.

    Shame because this could have been a good game. I’ve sold my copy and warned my friends.    … Expand

Правильно ли сделал Джоел или нет - каждый решал сам для себя. Даже без учёта обильной левой пропаганды, про которую и без меня уже много сказано, сюжет игры получился крайне посредственным, не имеет и толики глубины первой части. Персонажи не вызывают каких-либо эмоций и сочувствия, прописаны крайне слабо, кто умрёт, а кто останется жив вы поймёте сразу. При всём этом игра крайне затянута. Проработка фракций и их мотивация находится даже ниже уровня какого-нибудь Metro Exodus.

    Какого-либо графического прорыва, что был у первой части тут тоже нет. В геймплейном плане разбавили разве что собаками, а в остальном эта всё та же первая часть с её достоинствами и недостатками. Гайки всё так же волшебным образом материализуются в оптические прицелы, можно таскать на спине целый арсенал, но к каждому оружию можно носить по 5-10 патронов, ветки прокачки не вариативны, а некоторые и вовсе бесполезны. Стелс всё такой же бутылочный, а перестрелки нудные. Никакой работы над ошибками, увы, не произвели.

    Просто надругательство над первой частью и идеальный пример того, что некоторым произведениям сиквел не нужен, а то и вовсе противопоказан.    … Expand

    Один из худших сиквелов, в которые я играл. Не понимаю фанатиков, которые говорят, что чтобы оценить игру, необходимо пройти её до конца. Если игрока кормят фекалиями с первого часа игры, то необходимо отказаться от такого блюда, а не пытаться распробовать получше чтобы прочувствовать что же перед созданием своего "Шедевра" ели наути дог.

Графика приятная, но неболее, невероятного некстгена нет. Но вот сюжет, отношение между героями, посыл - это плевок в душу первой части и всему разумному. Не хочется спойлерить, тем более многие и так знают концовку благодаря слитым данным и прохождению игры на ютубе, так что попробую расписать избегая конкретики. Не смогли придумать нормальной завязки, потому выбрали ту, которая самосвалом проезжает по концовке первой части. Она ломает всё хорошее что было в оригинале и дает историю уровня би-муви, при этом невероятно претенциозный, но донельзя очевидный. Мстить плохо, ууу. Надо прощать, ууу. Зло умножает зло, ууу. Задумайся, игрок! Если тебя хотят убить, не нужно защищаться и убивать, потому что этим ты сделаешь больно кому-то! Для этого посыла создатели выкручивают на максимум количество бессмысленного насилия и оставляют его не где-то за кадром, как принято в более-менее приличных продуктах, а по максимуму суют игроку в лицо. Смотри, человека долго и упорно избивают, тебе нравится? Нравится? А ты не только любишь насилие, ты еще шовинист! Расист! Не терпишь ЛГБТ! Уххх, плохой! Но ты прости всех и всё придёт в порядок. Надеюсь что игра провалится в продажах и это будет достойным урокам тем, кто лепит столь явные идеалогические поделки. 1 балл только за хорошие флешбеки, напоминающие какую хорошую игру можно было бы сделать.… Expand

    This has been a big disappointment as a big fan of the first game. There are a lot of elements in the game that contradict what the series stands for. Also that weird romance scene is totally out of place and awkward.

    As a big fan of the first game I was really dissapointed with the lazy writing of the Part 2. They managed to write Joel to behave nothing like the original character. He was always playing safe and always keeping the distance to people, because he knew people would come after him and Ellie. That alone breaks my heart as a fan of the original story.

    Todays games are much more than just games and developers know that. It's multi dimensional art. It's a very powerful media and this time that power was used in a wrong way. To send a strong political message.

    Ripley from Alien and Sarah Connor from T2 are one of the best action characters in movies. Including both genders. They were great because their stories were written so well. The story and the characters supported each other. This time the characters got in the way of the message that Naughty Dog wanted to tell. It's sad that they sacrificed one of the greatest games to the altar of politics.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll give it a 2/10 for the two fingers ellie lost. Very poor choices by script writers and directors especially that awful slam piece where the two guys ( one of them abby) engaged in sex, and Sony wants to censor DMC 5 and FF cause they portray woman as woman, shame on you. Playing as the antagonist, ND wants to be edgy and blur the lines but we all know Abby is the bad guy. And to go through all of that and then a flashback stops you from killing her is ridiculous, so you dont even get revenge.. that was such a big point/theme was revenge and it falls flat. Wont be supporting naughty dog again as they write material worse than fan fiction. On the black list you go with EA and Bethesda.

    It really appears that he added a sex scene into the game just to add himself to it. There is no other explanation, the scene is disgusting, unnecessary, and comes completely out of the blue.
    The original characters behave nothing like they were in the first game.

Aiming is bad, but all ND games have so so weapon aiming, enemy A.I. is woefully unbalanced - you can either kill someone a few feet away from an enemy without being spotted, or an enemy can spot you hiding under a car 50ft away and mayhem ensues....
    Voice acting is good and music is a continuation of the first game.
    But for a game that has been in development so long the changes made to game play are minimal - especially when you consider it's also a jump from Ps3 to Ps4....
    The story is just wave after wave of 'guilt killings' and angst ridden dialogue that is desperately trying to be radical and daring but is just a chore to listen too and watch - the washed out colours and the overall oppressive mood make you long for a moment that lifts the mood.
    Characters are not very likeable or relatable and after a while it's clear that ND are more interested in this as an interactive movie about social and sexual political views rather than an actual video game.
    I understand the desire to make it very cinematic as it is linking to a HBO tv show, but player input is mostly reduced to a viewer...
    The writing has made the amateur mistake of making the game characters fit into a narrative rather than the characters dictate the narrative, forcing a main character to be shockingly 'out of character' most of the time...
    It is also way too long and could have been trimmed down several hours and may have benefited for it.
    If you enjoy movie style games, like a smattering of limited stealth, and can endue a story that made me reach for anti depressants and a bottle of vodka then you will find something to enjoy....

    One thing, that i did like story-wise was the relationship of Ellie and Dina. It felt natural and believable.I enjoyed that.But it all falls apart on this mess of a story

    Gameplay is awesome, but the story ruins it all.(After all it's a narrative story) Also, Sony false advertised JOEL in the trailers. JOEL appeared on many parts of the trailers pointing that there would be an adventure with the duo, but they fking replaced it with Jessee.Also the flashbacks of TLOU were altered to comply with this story.

    A mess of a game. How low did naughty dog fell.

    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.
