    I think the game unfortunately highlights the worst in people, not because of the game itself but because of bigoted responses. Reading some responses including on Google, It left me almost in tears to think how much hate is out there. The game is a 10. Thanks naughty dog

    I... don't even think art can be judged like a primary school exam, but people who think it is a zero are wrong, objectively wrong. It's not the developer's agenda that provokes your anger, it's yours. Jewish people exist, ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, overall

    Never has a game made me cry so much. A incredibly powerful experience.
    I really didn’t think a sequel was necessary but it justified itself 100x in my opinion. Hoping a grounded mode gets added soon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first time reviewing a game, it's not usually something I do, but I couldn't not give this game a 10. It truly is a masterpiece, and something everyone involved in the development should be really proud of what they have achieved!

    Try to ignore the amount of bad reviews, that amount of bad reviews in such a short space of time clearly shows they were not reviewing the whole game! Yes, a certain characters story comes to an end, and yes it sucks that it did, but c'mon guys - what did you expect? Did you genuinely think ND were going to basically mirror the feeling of the first story... They've switched it up, and I for one absolutely loved the experience. Give the game ago and be open minded.

    The graphics are truly spectacular, the gameplay is similar yet polished, the story is different but that doesn't make it bad, if you accept it and see where it takes you then it really is a great experience.

    Easily my favourite game on PS4, and I'm yet to talk to any of my pals who disagree. I finished it on Sunday night and couldn't stop thinking about the overall experience of the story.

    Of course there are a couple things they could have done different, but anything major enough to lower my score? Hell no.

    Anyway, this is just my opinion, but I felt the need to briefly write my thoughts on the game, so hopefully anyone involved in the making of the game may stumble across it amongst all the unnecessary hate, and appreciate that the majority of people accept it for everything it is, and truly appreciate the masterpiece they've created.

    Thanks for making one of my lockdown weekends a much better experience with this game!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's be honest, the game obviously deserves more than 1/10, but it's definitely not a 10/10 either.

    The only reason I'm rating 1 is because of how blatantly biased the critic reviews are. I mean scores of 100? Really? You're saying the game cannot be improved AT ALL? In any regard? Wow. Just reminds us once again that you can't trust critics to have your best interests in mind when it comes to spending your money on video games. (Shout-out to the 5 critics that had the balls to give an honest review)

    Pros:
    - Animations (loved the modification/upgrading of weapons, death animations, etc.)
    - Sound design
    - Graphics
    -Environment / atmosphere

    Could be seen as either pro or con:
    - Story / sequencing
    - Characters / character development

    Cons:
    - Some bugs
    (e.g. Couple instances of my weapon going invisible when killing an enemy, then reappearing after killing them lol)
    - It tries to be realistic, but didn't go as far as I expected
    (e.g. Reloading a 2 bullet mag, to add 3 more bullets to it, but your character drops the old mag on the ground that had the spare bullet in it)
    (e.g. Dina teleports to her horse when you get on yours if she's not directly next to it)
    - Looting became boring and repetitive over time
    (i.e. Pick up screws, pick up a bullet in a drawer, open a safe, etc., over and over again)

    The story?
    The game clearly tries to mess with your emotions in a number of ways. It also displays multiple "lessons" that may or may not get you thinking:
    - The cliché lesson of revenge only leading to your own downfall and a feeling of hollowness was desperately injected. Except in this instance, you don't even get to exact that revenge in Ellie's POV. You kill hundreds of people, lose two fingers, lose Joel, lose your partner, just to simply... give up and not follow through? Lol. Yeah you kind of feel sorry for Abbie in the ending fight scene, but if this is the direction you want to take your game at least give Ellie (a.k.a. the player) SOMETHING after all that suffering and grinding.
    - There was also the lesson of "two sides to every story", which I have to admit was portrayed in a way that most people don't usually consider (I'm not referring to the timing of the scenes in-game, but the amount of details of the "other" person in general). I appreciated this aspect, but I didn't like the way they sequenced all the events and flashbacks.
    - Then there's the lesson of "you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone". Another aspect I liked (Because it's a valuable life lesson, just like the previous lesson). A pretty sad realization for Ellie, but unfortunately it was too little too late. It's heartbreaking that Ellie couldn't move on from what Joel did, and couldn't just enjoy her time with him to the fullest before he was killed.

    Relationship?
    Okay we get it, Ellie's a lesbian. No one is saying there's a problem with that, but the way it was portrayed in game is like a religious person trying to force their religion on you. We don't need the details. Add that to the hyper-masculinity of Abbie, and the fact that Lev is a transsexual? Then you start pissing people off because it feels like you're trying to push an agenda in your game, when all we want to do is play games.

    Joel's Death?
    Naughty Dog meeting room: "sHoCk FaCtoR gUyS!!!"
    Sure, it makes sense for him to die because of everything he has done. But the way they killed him and the timing of it? Lol. Also why was he so trusting of these people in the first place? Doesn't make sense.

    tl;dr / Summary: In my eyes the story seemed as if the devs watched GoT or TWD and said "I wanna do that! Look how successful they were!". Overall, it was an unnecessary sequel for anyone that has played the first game. Why would anyone want to waste hours upon hours playing a game just to see their beloved characters completely humiliated and destroyed? At least in GoT you were able to move on with other characters... But this just seems like a game for sadistic people or people that have never played the first game. It's $60USD for a 2020 Depression/SJW/Flashback Simulator... With some redeeming qualities (Especially if you've never played the first game)...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is not about Revenge.
    This game is about the lack of forgiveness and the cry for blood.
    This game is about (for the most part) everybody out to do good, but convinced of that self image always ending up attacking others and seeking revenge on others.

    There is a deeper layer to this when the creators say "we feel like this story needed to be told".
    There is a deeper layer to almost every character of some importance or power being a woman.
    There is a deeper layer to almost non of them doing any better than the men.
    There is a deeper layer to almost every man dominant in the story being in the flashbacks.
    There is a deeper layer to Elli pretty much beginning the game with calling someone a "biggot".
    There is a deeper layer in players/fans calling this game out for being "made for SJWs".

    Among these layers are the facts that we are all just human, just because men are out of power (or in case of this game, dead) will not make the world a better place, women will light it on fire just as much. And there is also the fact that people will feel trigged, will start to look for a fight, because at first the woman dominated world with a lesbian protagonist that replaces the man sounds like tagged on to please "SJW" and the Media (Oscar bait in the movie world i suppose). But it's not. You got to look at these deeper layers. It's very well crafted.

    The biggest downside of the game is it's gameplay. It's great, it's fun, it's well don, it looks good... but sometimes you just want to be in the story, see what happens next and instead you have to cut through buildings for the next couple of hours. It kinda gets in the way. I can't wait to see what HBO dos with it's adaptation. This could become what "The Walking Dead" should have been.

    It's a great ride, try it... and see if you are willing to forgive, willing to not jump at the triggers the writers put in this game just for you to bark, just for you to go looking for a fight (albeit a less deadly one). This is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isnt perfect, and worse than the first one. But more than half of these reviews are by people who have either not even touched the game or have not even finished it, which u can tell based on the fact that 18k ppl review bombed it in the first few hours when this is a 20+ hr game and from the fact that a lot of the reviews have no clue what happened in the game, which is quite sad, because this is a good game. The best parts of the game are the graphics and the gameplay, but the story isn't nearly as good. I don't understand why tf they made us play as Abby after she killed Joel, I feel like playing as Abby should've been dlc or smth rather than something I have to do to see the finale. But the parts with Abby still had enjoyable gameplay and great scenes. Now the story, it wasn't bad but not great either. The only two problems I really had was the **** ending, and playing as Abby, I understand that the end is supposed to show how Ellie accepts Joel's death and knows that killing her wont bring Joel back. But Ellie killed hundreds of people to get to her, and now when she finally does she feels empathy or regret?

    Anyways apart from that the game is pretty fantastic, playing on the hardest difficulty was extremely fun to add a sense of realism and made each encounter so much more stressful and exciting. And even though there aren't too many new things in stealth, the fact that u can now prone and some of the sequences with water lets to experiment with the combat system a lot more. Basically, u should buy this game but the story might be a bit of a dissapointment.    … Expand

    So, in all fairness since I was defending the game since the beginning, it’s only fair that I criticize it for it’s flaws. Don’t get me wrong, it was a game that was hard to put down and I do believe it’s a good game, but good is as far as I can go in describing it. It’s far from a masterpiece on any level. Game is a 7.6 out of 10

Game is a 7.6 out of 10

    Sound and Visuals: 10

    This is probably the one part of the game that everyone can universally agree was nailed. The environments were phenomenal, amazing looking flora with great graphical fidelity. Lush forests, verdant cities, dark and impending tunnels, honestly you could spend so much of the game just looking at the environments and not get tired. The use of lighting was incredible, especially in those darker environments. The visual brutality of combat was stunning in how visceral it was. The game even offers character models you can unlock so you can truly marvel at every facet of the infected, and just how much detail was put into the characters. Sound wise everything sounded fantastic, it was more of the same from the first but that’a far from a negative. Every sound really added some extra depth to the brutality of each swing. Gameplay: 7

    So this one has to be broken up and examined for each aspect. Survival/Horror aspects, Combat, and Traversal/Puzzles.

    It’s very much a more refined The Last of Us gameplay. If you didn’t like that you won’t like this. The addition of being able to go prone and dodge help open up new ways to approach your combat. The survival aspect and that feeling of terror when it came to the infected was pretty much stripped away in this one. Infected became more of an obstacle to overcome than a fear inducing enemy. The game constantly forces you to ditch efforts at stealth which kind of takes away your freedom of gameplay. However the world is much more open than the previous one. In addition the locations provided various ways to approach a combat scenario, which helps keep the fights from feeling to stagnant. Traversal was pretty decent with some decent semi-open world areas, but exploring outside of these areas rarely felt rewarding. In addition I felt there was just too much ammo available to ever really worry about, same with parts for craftable items. Puzzles were pretty minor and were neither a positive or a negative for the game. The controls are still rather clunky like the first one. (Sorry had to cut a lot of detail to make the word count)

    Story: 6

    Now, i’m not going to go too indepth in the story, as to not spoil anything, but to put it very simply: It was a 25hour long story that should have been 13hours long. At least 8 hours should have been removed and summarized into a 2 hour long segment AT MOST, (the rest could have been worked into a DLC that would be optional and released after launch) and the last two hours of the game shouldn’t have been included at all. They could have rewrote one segment only slightly, and the last two hours wouldn’t have even needed to take place. The game strives to tell a story of revenge, but drags the story in an attempt to expose you to both sides. The story is not dark, it doesn’t tackle dark and horrific themes, it’s just bleak. The game even teases a happy ending which shocks you due to the fact that it’s so bleak, just to rip it away from you for no real reason. To be fair, there are also TONS of moments where the character chemistry was so good that I couldn’t help but smile. Some really wonderful interactions between the characters and adorable moments. ESPECIALLY in the flashbacks. I understand what Naughty Dog was trying to do, and can appreciated the story for what it is, but it’s execution was far from good. The first half of the game I couldn’t put it down because i wanted to know what would happen next, but the second half I couldn’t put it down because I just wanted to get to the ending. I wholeheartedly believe that if they changed a large portion of the second half, and released it as future DLC, and fixed the ending, the game’s story would be an 8-8.5/10 alone and the game would have been around a 9 overall. It would have been a much more concise story without 3-4 pointless and unnecessary subplots. I will say that I have NO issues with how they decided to go about the game. No issues with how they handled characters, and found them and their paths to be a very natural progression of the story. A lot of the complaints are from fans that are mad about this, and they were unfounded. The characters were enjoyable So yeah, overall I sit at about a 7.6/10 for the game. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it certainly could have been done better.    … Expand

Жму руку разработчикам за титанический труд, если они хотели угодить ЛГБТ, как некоторые выразились, то они сделали это в меньшей возможной мере, к тому же такой химии двух влюбленных девушек я ещё нигде не видел, это было очень мило и как по мне всё было крайне убедительно, актеры дубляжа и захвата движения постарались. Геймеры, сидящие на попе ровно, с кривой осанкой и не следящие за фигурой сразу же начали возникать "а шо это баба такая накаченная ээ, она чё транс ыы" идут лесом, в постапоке я думаю лучше быть накаченным бойцом, чем клацать на джойстик, тем более её ведёт жажда мести за отца. На счёт мести Элли, она правильно сделала, что не убила Эбби, ей и так досталось (смерть отца, верных друзей, сестры Льва, рабство), если кто то после этого все равно хотел её убить, у вас не всё в порядке с головой. Ставлю 8 из 10, геймплей слишком нудный, бежать до кат-сцен и всё, лучше смотреть игрофильм. Если кто-то ожидал хеппи-энда, то вы конечно обосрались, все трейлеры были пронизаны безысходностью, насилием и несправедливостью, что нам и показали, эта игра не для умиления, а чтобы вы прочувствовали всю боль потерь и лишений, с которыми нам так или иначе предстоит столкнуться в этой жизни.… Expand
