    For a lover of the first game in the series and a major follower of The Last of Us, I found this game rather disappointing. If you want to get slapped in the face by an agenda driven plot this is the game for you.

    Так бездарно слить первую часть игры, напихав во вторую кучу непотребства и скучнейших часов прохождения - это нужно уметь. Разрабы, вы уже задрали своей нахер толерантностью. Вас нужно пиздить (желательно ногами), чтобы эта хрень улетучилась из вашей башки раз и навсегда. Когда уже наконец-то будете делать акцент на игру, а не на желание угодить всяких мондавошкам?

    Одно дело, когда темнокожий герой подходит для игры/ фильма (например, Блейд), а другое дело - везде впихивать без причины черных, геев и прочее непотребство. ЗАДРАЛО!!!!!!!
    Про геймплейную нудятину я уже молчу. Геймплея нет как такового. Можно похвалить только художников, аниматоров, которые как видно трудились в поте лица.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is a perfect example how graphics and smooth animations dont make a good game. the story was so garbage and unsatisfactory that i got bored after the first hour. after the death of the main character of the first game in the first hour, i couldnt care less about the rest of the deaths in the game. this game focused way to much about some political agenda than writing a good story. i really was excited about this game and they certaintly let me down.

    Омерзительная игра. В которой тебе предлагают влезть в шкуру вонючей немытой лесбиянки. Играть в это решительно невозможно, как по этическим так и по эстетическим соображениям.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mai e poi mai mi sarei immaginato di dare al secondo capitolo del gioco un voto così basso. Imbarazzante. A parer mio, gli autori hanno rovinato Joel, devastato psicologicamente e fisicamente Ellie, ridicolizzato Tommy e tanto altro! Incredibile. Di fatto, gli eventi del secondo capitolo, potevano essere compresi, accettati e discussi in altro modo, se questo fosse stato un gioco a se stante o magari, se la trama fosse stata diversa o sviluppata in modo da dare al giocatore una scelta multipla e non far vivere ""passivamente"" una narrazione irritante e, per certi versi, deludente. Vi sono molti bug (che probabilmente fisseranno) ma nelle fasi stealth mi sono trovato in difficoltà. La musica è eccellente grazie al maestro Santaolalla e altri. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game has amazing graphics and music but the story is all over the place. You can't kill the main character in the first 2 hours of the game by a character we don't even know about, at least do it right. The different character transitions is awful. The only good part in the game is the flashback with joel and ellie. The ending is horrible. Waste of 25 hours I'll never get back. Expand

    Technically, I think it’s brilliant, I give it five out of five. It stands in its own league, it set the bar sky high. Actors and artists, way to go! Everything else... is just the Death Valley, the Killing Fields, the Plains of Sorrow. A video game is supposed to be entertaining; to me, TLOU2 is anything but. Instead, it’s a recipe for violence and depression. I'll play through TLOU againTechnically, I think it’s brilliant, I give it five out of five. It stands in its own league, it set the bar sky high.

    Extremely frustrating game.

    Один бал за графику. Дизайнеры молодцы.
    Механика игры осталась на прежнем уровне.
    Ну а про сюжет и говорить не стоит, вы сами всё прекрасно знаете. Нудно, затянуто, неинтересно. Это не то, чего ждёшь от продолжения культовой игры.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Гитара топ, графика отличное, всё остальное засрали. 7 лет ради вот этого?.. Купите игру, обязательно пройдите 1 часть. Поймите, насколько это часть гениальная, старая конечная, но стоит того. А потом купите и сыграйте во вторую часть, и поймёте, почему у людей бомбит. Атмосфера и сюжет сведён лишь к одной теме и не как не развивается, а если учесть, что это не отдельная игра, а продолжение, то у людей закономерно бомбит от того, в каком направлении игра пошла.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To clarify, I don't think most people care whatsoever about having gay and lesbian characters in games. That doesn't affect my rating at all. I'm rating this game low because the plot of this game and character development is garbage. While the graphics are beautiful and they did improve some of the game play mechanics, I didn't like Last of Us as a series for the gameplay. It was all about the characters and their adventure. They totally ruined that by killing off characters you care about. They make you dislike characters, then play as them. They kill off characters left and right where you literally like no one and don't have fun playing. The worst part is the ending. Wow. Such garbage. There is no payoff. Ellie is left as a shell of her former self. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Poor storyline ruined this game, killing Joel off is the first of the big mistakes this game made killing off the best character is just **** the entire games story was completely pointless you spend the entire game trying to kill Joel’s killer only to let her go in the end. I didn’t have a problem with the lesbian relationship, but the transgender character is a joke I think that your “gender identity” is the last thing you should be thinking about during a zombie apocalypse there are bigger problems to deal with. The only saving grace of this game was the visuals but the gameplay was the exact same as the first game just adding a few things, if they want to make another game they should make brand new characters and do it from the start of the apocalypse and get a new director telling the haters to **** off, no you **** off games are not about pushing a political agenda.

    No multiplayer that the first Last of Us had. I couln't play anymore after just playing 45 minutes into it. They need to remake the events on this game. Graphics and gameplay don't matter if the story completely turns you away.

    It is not the story itself that makes people dislike this game. It is how the story is told and how the writers and designers lead you through it that makes people feel sick. It is not about difference and not about doing the unexpected. It is about the condescending attitude you can easily feel from the writers.
    1 point for the hard work of the rest of team. It is obvious that their work

    This game was such a disappointment, the first game was amazing and one of my favorites ever but they completely butchered this one. The gameplay is great however the story is one of the most poorly written stories I have ever seen in my life. Neil Druckmann is a sorry excuse of a writer

    This game has astonishing attention to details, graphics is just great. And that's actually that. No more memorable characters we loved from the first part. Motivation of characters is broken. Story is broken. Abby is disgusting and was probably first modeled as a male character. 2/10 just for graphics/audio design.

    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]
