Я не скажу что это шедевр мирового масштаба и что эта игра лучше чем первая часть тем более, но эту игру обязан пройти каждый обладатель консоли ps4, если вы хотите испытать реальные эмоции, а эмоции не всегда должны быть положительными , то эта игра подарит вам их и даже чуть-чуть больше.

    Story is nonsensical, gameplay mostly the same(which was mediocre), graphics and sound design is good, but sadly it's impossible to recommend to anyone except die-hard fans that want more of the TLoU world.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us - is best console game ever!
    The Last Of Us Part II - Story writers shouldn't be allowed to work anymore. It's not problem that Ellie is gay, no, we knew that since The Last Of Us: Left Behind. Death of Joel? Well that really sucked and after that happened i wasn't feeling good, i couldn't believe it but i thought that if they decided to kill him, that they got awesome story behind it! So his death isn't reason for bad rating, no.. The reason for bad rating is that i'm forced to play Abby (who i hate!) for half a game! Is Joel killed so we can play ~12 hours character that is 'Built like Ox'? We don't care about her personality, we don't care for story, we care for Joel, we care for Ellie, we care for Tommy, we care for character from The Last Of Us! You ruined everything by introducing new character that killed Joel, you ruined our pleasure by forcing us to play Abby for half a game, you ruined everything by letting Abby go at the end. What does that mean? That Joel died for nothing? Jessie as well? I finished game for 23h 34m (Survivor if someone's interested) and for what i played it almost 24h? For which goal? Why we went thru Seattle for 3 days? What was the point of a game? I don't get it. Why didn't Ellie stayed in Jackson after Joel's death? You could have ended game then, ~2 hours after start and it would still be better ending (and game) then this..

    My rating was 6/10, probably because i'm rating Ellie's half of the game with 10/10, but i was convinced that Part II will be equally as good as Part I or even better..

    The only thing you can do right now is to start creating Part III ASAP and to try to fix this mess by killing Abby as soon as possible by Tommy's hand (because it wouldn't make much sense to make Ellie do it since you lost that opportunity). And to create awesome story with Joel in it (he can appear in it as memories, to give us new moments of Ellie and joel that happened between Hospital and Jackson, or maybe he can be only in Ellie's head, to appear from time to time..)

    I think that we fans didn't deserve this.. As you can see no one likes Abby (even tho u tried really hard to make us at least understand her by forcing us to play her and to understand her.. By showing us her's 'good heart' because of her need to help Lev and his sister.. But even that didn't help. We don't want her in Part III, we want her dead!

    Hopefully this comment will somehow reach next story writters..

    Please try to fix this mess, it's not too late.. Part III is your only chance if you ask me.

    Regards,
    Nikola    … Expand

    This game doesn't do justice for the first game at all. If they want to say a story about the character which we didn't we even want to play then it had to be a separate game. People come to this game to play in the shoes of Joel and Eli.

When I play a game like this, the most important thing is the campaign and here is rubbish, in addition to killing the most important character in the franchise in a stupid way and trying to highlight the sexuality of some characters as if it were important, I feel that in this game executives reached out to be "inclusive" still on the technical side I can not complain much, compared to the first game there are not so many bugs, only enemies sometimes do not detect you even if you are in front of them.… Expand

    I'm so disappointed, such a great characters and beautiful story from first game. Was not continued in sequel. This game is a torture not fun as it should be. It is hard to not acknowledge the the graphics is beautiful, location's are full different things and details. But for me this is story driven game so if im disappointed about this all other things are not important.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello and good morning from where I am, I wanted to post this review starting with the fact that I would give this a 5-7 in the ratings but due to reasons I will soon talk about you will see why.

    Firstly I would like to say this game is not bad visually, it is an extremely beautiful game and one of the most graphically splendid games in the last/current decade however the mechanics are not as they could be, assuming that the assumptions that Naughty Dog pushes their employees to the brink of insanity are true it is understandable but where it lacks in refinery it offers an excess in accessibility truly making it so that anyone who is anyone can finish the game which is good on their part.

    Now the issues.
    Let me let out a disclaimer first, I have not played TLOU part 2 nor will I play.
    The reason why my review is so low is because of the story, the build up and the way the media are handling it. Firstly the story is horrendous, I've seen better writing in shows like Eromanga Sensei (shameless plug) anyway so the story is bad, starting from the way Joel and Tommy where acting in the beginning, they were acting like they only been surviving for a few days which as we all know is a lie, Joel of all people would know better after all in the first game he was untrusting and over cautious, to the point where he could anticipate an ambush for him to go and die in such an obvious ambush is insulting. Then it gets worse, Joel death was not necessary but it was expected but they did not make it worth it because Elly goes through the game killing over hundreds of people but spares Abby because of reasons not explained, she had a flash-back of Joel and stopped. Why?! The game won't tell you, Neil won't tell you and the media won't tell you because there is no reason why except to get you to come back and buy the next game. If this were truly a story of the cycle of violence Abbey should have died in that moment and got her due reward for killing Elly's father figure, ruining her relationship, biting her fingers off and basically ruining her life.

    Aside from the story we get Sony and Naughty Dog's blatant abuse of the copyright system and throwing out DMCAs to everyone who dared to even look at TLOU 2 leaks/memes the wrong way. I understand that you would want to keep these things uptight so you could make more money as a company but to abuse a system so much without consequence just because they talked about it is not okay and it will never be okay no matter what universe your in Naughty Dog and Sony will always be in the wrong in this situation. To add to the fire is Sony's double standard with censorship, so let me get this straight a 3-D fully acted scene in a game by a Sony exclusive is brilliant but a tiny bit of cleavage needs to be scrubbed from the face of the planet, that is not a good business practice, actually to be honest it isn't actually one or the other for this one anyway it isn't right what they are doing and should reevaluate their censorship rules.

    Finally the media the media has decided to collectively group all the haters together and put a label on them like, their transphobic, homophobic, perfectgamephobic or bots there all bots, instead of reporting the actual issues like the DMCAs, false advertising, etc. they want to paint any failure on us bigots for not supporting the game, as a journalist they need to cover theses stories with divinity and grace, refraining from pushing the narrative for their own gains and the defeat and deflation on the opposing side.

    That is why I must give it one. If you SJW, feminist **** people wanna kill me here's my twitter @LambdaOf_Chaldea try all you like to beat me down but you won't stop the truth from coming up and Metacritic if you delete this review you are admitting your helping Naughty Dog and you have your own terrible agenda to achieve by keeping them happy. I thank you for your time.    … Expand

    I hope that in the future games will also be developed in the direction of film, and an equal medium will be created, matching the narrative level of the greatest masterpieces of cinematography, but with the possibility of delving into and interacting with the presented world. I am not surprised that tlous2 is criticized for the plot, since there are also important and outstanding films in the cinema and very hated by ideologically aggressive people, because they contain ideally disputed themes - for example, I will quote the title of the film Ida, which in a nutshell talks about the life choices of the main heroine, and the accused of the creator of promoting anti-Polishness, where this is an obvious abuse. A similar mechanism worked in relation to the latest ND work. It was enough to raise controversial topics, and all the content hidden somewhere between the poems, which were the clue of the whole story, became invisible to blind blind critics, who did not understand what was the most important and what was only a support or an excuse.    … Expand

    I was told this game would make me emotional. The only emotion I have felt playing through the entire game is disappointment. I had so much love for Naughty Dog and The last of us part 1, I firmly feel like they were willing to risk making fans deeply upset in order to push their political agenda.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is not as terrible as people make it seem.
    For me it would be around 7.5 or so. It did some things right but also some things terrible.

    First some cons then pros and lastly some side things.

    Cons:
    There are some poor story part of the game.
    I personally dislike that I had to play as the character Abby and therefor rushed through that part.
    A bit too much focus on Abbys life, may be so people would sympatise with her or what ever. But really there has been no reason for all her flashbacks, She was an unlikeable character, bland character and pretty much just a waste of time to focus on her story.
    Few glitches and bugs.
    Bit too much "smash square" stuff like that.

    Pros:
    Visually Naughty Dog did a great work with the game.
    The gameplay may not be that whole advanced but pretty straight forward.
    There are good parts were you can explore a lot of areas, building and shops which is really good.
    Variety of weaponry is good, maybe there could have been a bit more upgrades into some of the weapons.
    The small details in both animations, world design and so on are really good. Some of them are subtle but they make it more immersive.

    Both good and bad:
    Some of the development with Ellie is done in a good way, other is not. The whole revenge thing is a feeling that most would be able to get. Also there are some old sayings "an eye for an eye makes the world blind" this is displayed well in the story were Ellie makes some poor decisions because she is blinded by the revenge.
    The story wasn't 100% terrible but not that great either.

    The Last of Us 2 could have been some kind of bigger expansion instead of a whole new game. There was a bit too much filler content.    … Expand

    This game is perfect in every way. It leaves you speechless, angry, sad and amazed. There’s not an happy ending, it’s a story to reflect, it is supposed to make you feel something.

There’s not an happy ending, it’s a story to reflect, it is supposed to make you feel something. It’s like that movie when you don’t like the end because it’s too human and it’s not happy. I felt so many emotions, me as part of the LGBTQ+ community felt embraced and represented, I wanted to stop playing when they were having that idyllic life because it was too wholesome. I felt angry when I was forced to continue pursuing Abby. But life is like this in so many ways. Right now I feeling angry because I am forced to stay at home without a job. Also really well done to talk about homophobia and put more representation in it, I think it’s the first time that I see an openly gay main character, strong and not letting pass any kind of disrespect for her being a lesbian.
    Characters were well developed, many times it felt like I was with real people playing and every time I’d go in a journey alone I actually felt alone.

    This game is a pill hard to swallow, not in a bad way, it’s just because I’d write the story differently giving a happy life in the end. I think that’s why people didn’t like, because we want to find some hope in the end and this one gave us nothing but imagination of what will happen next, and Ellie ended up alone, that really got me since her fear was to end up alone, that was so sad. So if you guys are planning a sequel either to finish the series of them trying to find a cure, and giving a happy life to Ellie so her existence has some meaning in the last of us world, bc right now all I can feel about her is sorry and she being my favourite character is like heartbreaking.

    I have to admit I didn’t wanted to play with Abby, I was reluctant and killed her many times lol but I started to like her in the end, not a big like but it just shows again how human this video game is, showing that everything has 2 sides and we can easily apply this to real life.

    This game has loads to think and process so people that are not open to accept what it brings and are projecting their own frustrations towards it will not really get it.
    Also congratulations to take the risk and put minorities in it. I saw a bunch of people get really mad about it and show their homophobic beliefs.

    I disagree with loads of stuff in this game but it doesn’t change the fact that is amazing. Will play again and please, it not a part 3, at least give us a DLC!    … 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.
