    The last of us part 2 is such a dissapointment from the original.. Sure the game has technical achievements and looks stunning but the story is non existent and just plain stupid.

    This game just perfect. History is a roller coaster of emotions, where there is no right side. Everyone is a hero in his own story.

Lo mejor que se puede hacer es ignorar lo que se anda diciendo y simplemente jugarlo o ver un gameplay si no se quiere o puede gastar el dinero. Este juego vale la pena, no lo dejen pasar por estupideces de internet.… Expand

    So much for a 10/10 masterpiece.

    It's really hilarious seeing all the fanboys who denied the leaks now upset over the plot.

    Dated gameplay. Ok graphics. Laughable plot.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically the game looks and plays fantastic! But good god the story direction, taking a beloved character that was built so well in TLOU1, guarded, necessarily cold but loving, an expert survivor who could pick out an ambush from a mile away - turning him into that? Hes not even the same character. That scene set the tone for the whole game and to make you play as Abby after the fact for a solid portion of the game? Its honestly so dejecting - and not in the way I felt when Lee in the walking dead died or Dom in Gears of War. It was a pointless death forced in the first 2 hours by a character you want us to sympathize with when we have no prior experience with them. It's hard to complete the thought at the moment but its just saddening that a story beloved by so many was used to push an agenda that it now has only hurt.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Of Us 2 was a monumental disappointment after the first 4 hours of story. While the gameplay was captivating enough for me to finish the game at least once I don't see myself replaying this game just because of the story alone. It was a poorly written mess that left a sour taste in my mouth like no other piece of media before. I will remember this game, not because I enjoyed playing it, but simply because I hated it that much. Don't waste your money on this.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No amount of lovely graphics, amazing work by the actors, sound design, and user interface improvements can change the fact that many things in this game just do NOT make any sort of sense. (I cannot be appeased by the addition of a dodge and jump mechanic when you brutally murder one of my favorite characters of all time).

    The Last of Us Part II attempted to try and coerce the narrative that Joel's death triggered an intense feeling of vengeance in Ellie and that urge for vengeance resulted in her losing everything and winding up alone (According to her; one of her worst fears).

    Why does the narrative of this game codemn Ellie for wanting to avenge her Father-figure and reward Abby for gaining revenge on her father? Surely, if the main theme of this game is about condemning hate and violence, then why is it that Abby, a character we have literally almost zero history with rewarded with killing Joel and avenging her Father, while Ellie, who has suffered the loss of many friends and the guilt of survival because of her immunity punished for wanting to avenge the only person who was like Father to her?

    What. Was. The. Point?

    It is quite clear that the intent was to make it appear that Ellie loses herself to her vengeance. In many aritcles about the game, the phrase; When You Seek Revenge, Dig Two Graves has been used, but I am quite curious as to why Ellie needed to learn this lesson and Abby was able to succeed in this regard. Why should I care about Abby? They do not even give me time to like her before she callously tortures and kills Joel (effectively robbing another daughter of her father).

    This could theoretically work, but it would take much more gameplay with Abby prior to killing Joel then Naughty Dog decided to do. Killing Joel within the first two hours of an almost thirty hour game is as illogical as some of the characterization and plotlines shown throughout this work. Perhaps it is not the best show, but given the character limit and for the sake of coherency, I wanted to make it rather brief and easy to follow.

    -Abby's father, Jerry Anderson, was going to kill a 14 year old girl on the off chance that there could have been a vaccine made. There was no quarantee this would work and if it did, how well would a vaccine be able to be made and circulate throughout the world given its current state 20 years after the initial infection and fall of civilization? Who is to say it would not be hoarded by the powerful and used as leverage.

    And was Ellie even aware that this would result in her death? I feel that's an important factor to make known to a person, especially as a doctor. Most of Ellie's dialogue going towards St. Mary's hospital indicates that she believes she will survive the procedure. Neither Marlene, Joel, or the Doctor allowed Ellie her choice. But we know why Joel did it. He couldn't lose another daughter.

    -How in the world did Abby and her group manage to track down Joel to Wyoming and how did they find out a man named Joel killed her father? Did she brutally torture and kill every poor schlub named Joel until she managed to stumble on the right one because Neil Druckmann decried it so?

    -How did Abby and her group travel from Seattle, Washington to Jackson, Wyoming and not suffer any injuries or deaths in their group to and from their destination? In the previous game, Joel and Ellie just barely made it to Salt Lake City and they both nearly died multiple times, as well as lost Tess, Henry, and Sam during the whole trip.

    -Why the hell would Joel and Tommy (two seasoned survivors trust Abby and her group)? Why give them the location of their settlement? Joel has been established as ruthless and cynical. Yes, it's been four years since the first game, but Joel spent 20 years (five times as long) as doing everythig he could to survive and has been shown to be resourceful and strong.

    -"As a hardened survivalist, Joel displays terrifying intensity, strength, cunning, and fierce fist-fighting prowess; he can perform fatal chokeholds, string combinations of hard punches, and other miscellaneous attacks with little fatigue or hesitance, and he has become adept to the point where he can out-brawl and overwhelm opponents half his age quite quickly. " The Last of Us Wiki. Apparently, the writers forgot this in their haste to put the main character of the previous game down like a dog and shove Abby at us like a replacer.

    I don't like Abby. Nothing will make me like Abby.

    As far as I'm concerned, the only Last of Us game is the first installment and the Left Behind DLC. Naughty Dog, you really screwed the pooch on this one.    … Expand

    The Last of Us part 2 is an amazing game, the combat and the way the weapons feel are superb. Ever bullet or arrow that you receive and dish out has weight.

Ever bullet or arrow that you receive and dish out has weight. The design and sounds of the infected/zombie like enemies will make your skin crawl. The human enemies are interesting because they all have names. Sometimes it was frustrating when you stealth kill an enemy with a silent range weapon (bow or silent gun) and the AI can instantly deduce which direction you are with with out checking the body. However that's the only negative thing about the combat in my opinion. My only other nitpick is that their was only one part where you could freely roam a large map. I originally expected several sections like this but another one never came. Obviously the story and acting is amazing. The ending was heavy. This game is a clear 10/10. Not sure why people are review bombing it, this game is clearly brilliant. 10/10.… Expand

    The story is a giant middle finger to anyone who played the original game. Let’s not beat around the bush and talk about how naughty dog placed so much emphasis on Elise’s sexuality. Good for her, but most of us knew this from the first game, it was an amazing revelation back then and the subtly leading up to it really made it an amazing moment.

Good for her, but most of us knew this from the first game, it was an amazing revelation back then and the subtly leading up to it really made it an amazing moment. However when it came to last of us 2 it added nothing new for this game outside creating a controversy. The game spends the first two hour reminding how Ellie likes other girls and shows us a ton of intimate moments that adds nothing to the story or Ellie as a character outside of things we knew from 7 years ago.

    Then came the biggest middle finger when Joe, the main character of the first game, gets unceremoniously killed off and turned the game which was known for its story and it’s character development into a revenge story and Joe being relegated to your generic parent who kept secret from his kid and eventually die as a result of the secret. It was the character development between Joe and Ellie that made the first game’s story so interesting yet the game completely throws it away to tell a generic revenge story. Hope those woke points you got to guarantee a good review from critic is worth it because the improved graphic is the only other thing this game has to offer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Хочу начать с того что игра выглядит очень красиво геймплей напоминает 1ую часть (которая намного лучше чем эта а почему расскажу потом) но при этом добавились новые механики например прыжок, ползание и т.д. Поменялся и.и в лучшую сторону(поймёте по мере прохождение если уже прошли 1ую). А теперь хочу сказать про сюжет. Сюжет становится непонятным после финала почему? Сейчас расскажу. Основной сюжет начинается с момента где Джоэла убивает накаченная баба с клюшкой для гольфа и это всё на глазах у Элли. После чего начинается путешествие в котором мы убиваем куча народу чтобы убить убийцу Джоэла. Но в конце битвы Элли решает оставлять в живых Эбби(накаченная баба) и после этого получается что всё время Элли занималась хрен знает чем и что она сделала все жертвы напрасно потому что она цели не добилась но если игра дала выбор оставить в живых эбби или нет это сделала игру намного лучше. Но в конце был намёк на третью часть потому что её подружка Дина оставила её в одиночестве чего Элли боялась больше всего и после этого мы видели сцену где Элли идёт на поиски Дины. Мораль в том что насилие приводит к большему насилию. P.S забыл сказать про флешбеки Элли с Джоэлом и это выглядит прекрасно вот и всё.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Сценарный провал. Почти вся линия с Эбби чушь. Зачем ей спасать "шрамов"? Ради чего? Например: Пусть Оуэн не просто прятался, но и был бы ранен. Эбби узнала это, взяла аптечку и пошла в океанариум. По дороге её взяли в плен "шрамы" (забрали все припасы, включая аптечку). Потом, та же сцена встречи с Ярой и Левом. Они её спасли. Отбивались от зараженных. Но Эбби бросила их в опасный момент. Пришла к Оуэну. У него ранение в руку. Он говорит, что: "Это ерунда". Секс... Проснулась, почувствовала вину, что бросила детей. Пошла их искать, потому что идти не далеко и не опасно. Нашла. После перепалки с Левом, уговорила их пойти в океанариум. Вернувшись к Оуэну, увидела, что у него воспалилась рана. Решила идти в больницу за аптечкой, чтобы спасти любимого, а не Яру. Идут с Левом в больницу (Лев спасает сестру, а Эбби Оуэна). Во время пути они вынуждены помогать друг другу, чтобы выжить. Лев несколько раз спасает Эбби жизнь, а так же Лев оказывается хорошим «парнем». Возвращаются. Операцию делают и Оуэну и Яре. Яра и Оуэн до этого несколько раз ссорятся, а после операции Оуэн шутит, что они не такие уж разные (Оба теперь без руки). Лев узнает о готовящемся нападении на остров и сбегает, чтобы спасти мать. Яра и Эбби отправляются за ним в погоню. Эбби говорит, что не пойдет на остров и будет ждать в лодке, но приплыв на остров все же идет за Ярой. Находят Лева. Он дома, забился в угол и плачет. Мать повесилась. Оставила записку, что не может вынести позор из-за такой дочери. Лев винит в этом себя. Бегут с острова. Встречают одного "пса". Эбби случайно убивает его, защищая Лева. Это видит Айзек и еще несколько "псов". Стреляют в Яру. Эбби говорит, что она не предавала Айзека и все вышло случайно. Айзек кидает ей нож и говорит, чтобы она доказала свою преданность убив Лева. Эбби отказывается. Яра стреляет в Айзека. Эбби и Лев сбегают с острова, убивая всех и «псов» и «шрамов» на пути. Возвращаются в океанариум. Находят трупы Оуэна и Мел. Эбби идет мстить, Лев идет за ней, но говорит слова из их религии, что месть не приносит облегчения и все такое. Когда Эбби приставляет нож к горлу Дины, а Элли говорит, что та беременна, Эбби говорит, что ей насрать и Мел тоже была беременна. Элли из последних сил кидается на Эбби и Эбби вырубает её ударом тыльника ножа по голове. Эбби подбирает пистолет и направляет на Элли. Лев говорит, что беременная не выживет одна и одним выстрелом Эбби убьет троих (Элли, Дину и ребенка). Эбби их пощадила. Элли не знает, почему Эбби их не убила. Она была без сознания, как и Дина. Когда Тонни уговаривает Элли поехать в Калифорнию и отомстить, Дина возражает, что Эбби их не убила, на что Тонни врет, что это он спугнул её и Лева. И так далее... Можно было добавит логики в сценарий, но, увы. Вторая часть, скорее всего, похоронила серию...… 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.

    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]
