    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There was 7 years available to make something of the already great and engaging story of the first The Last of us. This has somehow undid everything the first game accomplished for a "Vengeance" path that's never realized. The point of the game is to make you upset and go through awful things with unlikable characters that are not even mentioned in the trailer. The game is misleading and outright disrespectful to fans and the characters we have come to love in the first game. And again the game force's you down a path that is never completed leaving the player and only remaining character asking the same question: Why ND?… Expand

    I think I've never been so disappointed in my life. Storyline feels like Niel Druckmann just came to my house and spited on my carpet. It hurts to give this game such an awful score, 'cause Naughty Dog did incredible job on visuals/details/gameplay. But story just ruined everything.

    P.S. Just in case - I don't have any problems with LGBT or strong female characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 2 is a terrible game dont let the glowing reviews from the Shill "professional" game reviewers fool you. The story as most of us know thanks to the leaks is terrible, them killing Joel may be one of the worst things I have ever had to sit through while playing a video game. The game play when talking about the stealth and combat areas are a huge disapointment. Some of the new characters introduced are terrible and uninteresting. And being forced to play as the character that killed Joel and to have the game try to make me feel sympathetic to them, made me want to turn the game off and go throw up. I could go on but i dont want this to be too long. So in conclusion dont buy this game, save your money for something worth it, and if you bought the game and hate it even a fraction of what i do, try and return it and get your money back. Apparently some stores are not taking refunds so thats nice. TLDR Game bad, Naughty Dog bad, Dont… Expand

Mala ejecución de la historia al intentar forzadamente tener empatía con un personaje secundario inventado en esta secuela, un inicio y un final bastante agridulce para las altas expectativas que tenía el videojuego, quisieron ser un GOT y terminaron siendo un TWD.

    Terrible story takes away from all enjoyment of the game. Gameplay is better than first but the story and characters are poor. No multiplayer either. Don't buy and I wouldn't recommend watching on youtube either. Only pick this up when/if multiplayer ever drops.

By doing so, you collapsed two of the greatest characters in video games and created a half-baked story that seems like it's only goal is to try and hurt the gamer, but hey, it looks nice and sounds cool so you get a 10/10. This was a story with none of what made the first game special, instead it simply tried to drive the plot forward with forced shock value, and in the end, I guess none of this pain we all endured even mattered.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Clearly, the director Neil Druckman wrote the story as both a way to spite the former Naughty dog writer Amy Henig, who was the writer for the Last of Us 1. Killing off a beloved character, self inserting himself into the story and having a full on sex scene with this new 'Abby' character is a big middle finger to fans of the franchise and to the previous writer. Most of the 'game' is linear storytelling with very little game play aside from 'go along this path to hear the characters talk.' Ontop of that, the plot is obviously pandering towards the LGBTQ movement at the cost of depth and character design. A character is not interesting merely because they are gay. As a gay man, I really wish that companies like this would act like their product is good merely because they feature something/someone LGBTQ related. To make this dumpster fire of a 'game' worse, there is a large segment of the game that forces you to play as Joel's murderer, Abby, and attempts to make you empathize with her. "Here, the character you loved is dead because we didn't like them, now play as this new character we added just for the sake of controversy and for our writer/director Neil Druckman to have sex with." God. Awful. It's easy to see who actually played this game and saw how awful the narrative is, and who was paid by Naughty Dog to give it a good review.… Expand

    Was habe ich am ersten Teil geliebt?
    Schlichtweg ALLES! Der erste Teil war und ist ein Meilenstein der Videospielgeschichte. Die Story, in der Joel seine Tochter verliert, mit Elli jedoch Ersatz findet und mit ihr all diese Abenteuer besteht und sie am Schluss aus Liebe rettet, ist einfach unfassbar gut gewesen. Ich war oft zu Tränen gerührt und habe den ersten Teil unendlich oft    Was habe ich am ersten Teil geliebt?
    Schlichtweg ALLES! Der erste Teil war und ist ein Meilenstein der Videospielgeschichte. Die Story, in der Joel seine Tochter verliert, mit Elli jedoch Ersatz findet und mit ihr all diese Abenteuer besteht und sie am Schluss aus Liebe rettet, ist einfach unfassbar gut gewesen. Ich war oft zu Tränen gerührt und habe den ersten Teil unendlich oft durchgespielt. Kurz vor Release des zweiten Teils, noch auf Erbarmunglos die letzten Trophäen geholt. Dann kam der zweite Teil...

    Was ich gut fand:
    Grafik, Gameplay, Atmosphäre, Sound, Synchronisation sowie die vielen Zwischensequenzen, machen das Spiel zu einem echten Erlebnis!
    Was ich furchtbar finde:
    Story, Charaktere und Charakterentwicklung, Erzählweise und die völlig übertriebene Gewalt. Punkt 1: Die Lieblingsfigur zu Anfang zu töten war völlig krank Aber nein, er wurde nicht nur einfach getötet, er wurde in einer minutenlangen Gewaltorgie, regelrecht Hingerichtet. Mir standen die Tränen in den Augen und ich konnte fast nicht hinsehen... Ja, es sollte polarisieren. Ja, es sollte Hass schüren. Aber hier völlig unangebracht! Das war in etwa so, als hätte man eine Fortsetzung von dem Film Hatchiko gedreht, in der man von der absolut herzergreifenden Beziehung zu seinem Herrchen, von dem der ganze Film gelebt hat, völlig ablässt, den Hund bestialisch hinrichtet und den Zuschauer zwingt, für den Rest des Films, dem Mörder zuzuschauen. Da fehlen mir echt die Worte für... Was mich zum nächsten Punkt bringt... Punkt 2: Charaktere Was ist bloß aus Elli geworden? Das kleine, freche, lebenslustige, liebenswerte Mädchen, ist nun eine emotionslose, kaltblütige Killerin geworden, der es nur um Rache geht... Die Story könnte direkt aus einem Liam Neeson Film entsprungen sein mit dem Unterschied, dass Liam am Schluß zumindest immer seine Rache bekommt. Elli metzelt sich stundenlang fluchend durch endlose Gegnerhorden, um Abby dann am Schluß doch laufen zu lassen... Warum zum Teufel? Schwach, sehr schwach! Abby:
    Kurz gesagt: Ich habe jede Minute Spielzeit mit ihr gehasst. Ich habe sie sogar öfters absichtlich sterben lassen, um irgendwie Befriedigung zu bekommen. Ihre kurze Vorgeschichte und die Rückblende mit ihrem Vater, machen das nicht besser. Es ist einfach eine von unnötigem Hass und Rachegelüsten durchzogene Storyline, die dem ursprünglichen Geist des ersten Teils, völlig zuwider läuft. Rache ist sinnlos? Ach was, Naughty Dog, dass hättet ihr auch nebenbei dem Spieler beibringen können. Aber als tragendes Element für dieses Spiel, völliger Fehlschlag!

    Tommy:
    War Tommy im ersten Teil und zu Anfang des zweiten noch ein liebenswerter, Bodenständiger, logisch handelnder Kerl, mutiert er im letzten Kapitel ebenfalls zu einem, von Rachegelüsten getriebenen Choleriker, der völlig geisteskrank reagiert, als Elli ihm erst ausschlägt, Abby erneut zu suchen. Das widerspricht allem, was Tommy die ganze Zeit ausgemacht hat! Absolut allem. Völlig unlogisch.
    Fazit:
    Alles, was das erste Spiel für mich ausgemacht hat, habt ihr zerstört. Während ich den ersten Teil auch heute noch zum zigsten Mal gerne spiele, mir allein am Schluß mit Joel und Elli ewig die Giraffen vorm Krankenhaus anschauen kann, jede Minute genieße, hat der zweite Teil für mich einen Wiederspielwert von einer glatten Null! Die völlig übertriebene Gewalt tut ihr übriges. Ich habe nichts gegen Gewalt im Gegenteil, die Brutalität im ersten fand ich sehr gut und passte absolut zu der erbarmungslosen Dystopie des Spiels. Aber jetzt? Nach dem brutalen abmetzeln von unzähligen Menschen war ich am Schluß so abgestumpft und es war mir dermaßen gleichgültig, ob jetzt jemand lebt oder stirbt, dass es mir echt schon Angst gemacht hat. Ein Spiel lebt vor allem von der Geschichte. Das Entwicklerteam hat einen echt grandiosen Job gemacht, aber die Storywriter gehören auf der Stelle und ohne Diskussion entlassen! Ihr habt das Andenken des Vorgängers nicht nur mit Füßen getreten, ihr habt ihn erstochen, erschossen, zerhackt, verbrannt und noch auf die Asche gespuckt. Ich bin maßlos enttäuscht und wünschte, ihr hättet nie einen zweiten Teil gemacht. Bestes Beispiel, wie es richtig geht, war Uncharted 4 Lebendige, liebenswerte Charaktere mit Tiefgang, eine grandiose Story und ein absolut tolles Happy-End am Meer... Was will man mehr? Der Wahnsinn! Aber euer eigentliches Meisterwerk, euer Baby, habt ihr im Dreck verrecken lassen! Was soll dieses trostlose Ende? Elli kann keine Gitarre mehr spielen, was sie so sehr geliebt hat, lässt die Gitarre und somit auch Joel hinter sich, Dina hat sie verlassen und sie geht einsam in den Sonnenuntergang... Unfassbar frustrierend!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is a terrible game, do not let the glowing reviews from the "professional" game journalist fool you. The story as most of us know is laughably bad, but there really is nothing funny about his joke of a game. Them killing Joel is one of the worst things I have ever had to sit through while playing a game.
    The game-play if you could really call it that is not nearly as interesting or varied as the first game, seriously a large portion of the game feels like a walking simulator. The sections that do have a good blend of stealth and combat come up short when compared to recent games with similar mechanics. The new characters they introduced are also terrible and horrible and uninteresting. And being forced to play as the character that killed Joel and to have the game try and make me feel sympathetic to them, honestly made me want to turn the game off and go throw up. I think the saddest part is there are a few parts in the game that are actually good and well written. I am referring to the flashback scenes with Ellie and Joel, all of a sudden it's like I am playing a real game again with characters I like and care about, but these parts are few and very far between. they only serve as a reminder of what the game could and should have been. I could go on but i don't want this to run on for too long. In conclusion do yourself a favor and do not buy this game, save your money for a game that deserves it. And if you bought the game and hate it even a fraction as much as i do, try and return it and get your money back or trade it for a game that is worth it. But apparently I have heard that some stores are not taking refunds so that's nice.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Из всего можно похвалить только графику.
    Остальное не выдерживает никакой критики....

    1) У Элли появилась девушка. Помню, как за неделю до выхода Логвинов и ещё некоторые обзорщики заверяли игроков, что лгбт в игре будет настолько немного, что игроки этого не заметят. Ну-ну. Да в игре на каждом углу натыкаешься на лгбт. Даже можно подслушать, как обычные NPC в разговорах обсуждают как круто быть лезбиянкой... 2) Феминизм. Это тренд последних лет, и игра ему строго следует. Здесь все завязано на женщинах. Мужчины нужны только для того чтобы ныть, жаловаться, да утешать главных героинь. Если убрать всех мужских персонажей (кроме Джоэла) - в игре ничего не поменяется. На мой взгляд единственный более менее харизматичный мужской персонаж - мальчик Лев. Только ему удалось показать, что он способен принимать решения и защищать тех, кто ему дорог. Остальные - пустые статисты, не вызывающие никаких эмоций.
    Отдельно хочу упомянуть вторую гг. Женщина - качок. В постапокалиптическом мире. Вы серьезно!? 3) Сюжет. В начале прохождения, когда убили Джоэла и стала понятна вся идея игры - месть, я представил что tlou2 будет схожа с assassin’s creed II - идеальным примером, какой должна быть месть. Но нет. Главная героиня убивает всех(и причастных, и непричастных), кроме той, за кем она проделала весь этот путь) это было бы забавно, если бы не было так грустно.
    И история Эбби выглядит как сова натянутая на глобус. У «лучшей убийцы шрамов» внезапно проснулись сострадание и совесть. Ага, очень убедительно. Прямо как конница на звездном разрушителе.
    История второй части на порядок хуже, чем история первой части! И привет Игромании и прочим изданиям, которые которые пытаются оправдать низкий рейтинг игры троллями, ботами, шпионами.... Нет! Все гораздо проще. Рейтинг такой, потому что игра - говнище! Люди недовольны из-за того что их ожидания не оправданы. Главный герой первой части слит, история первой части слита, нескончаемый поток социально-прогрессивной лгбтшной ерунды. Меня больше интересует как критики и журналисты оценивали игру. За что ее так расхваливают? Да они вообще играли?    … 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.
