    The Last of Us Part 2 is a technical masterpiece, right up there with titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War. The amount of attention to detail gone into the game is astonishing. You can really see the hard work Naughty Dog put into crafting this wonderful experience. The game does have pacing issues which in my opinion prevents part 2 from being the near flawless experience.The Last of Us Part 2 is a technical masterpiece, right up there with titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War.

The game does have pacing issues which in my opinion prevents part 2 from being the near flawless experience. Everything else however is 10/10 in my eyes from the environments and level design to the graphics and animations. The story is a lot longer than the first game (32 hours for me to complete) but it needs to be as there are a multitude of complex characters, all with their own story to tell and by the end of the game you really feel for each of them in true Naughty Dog fashion. The gameplay and sound/music continue where they left from the first game and really help set the tone for an incredibly dark, gritty and an emotionally exhausting experience.
    This game makes you question everything that you thought you already knew. One of the definitive games of the generation and probably of all time.    … Expand

Большинство, кто пишет негативные отзывы даже не прошли игру. На момент, когда я прошел игру, ачивку за законченный сюжет получило всего 20% юзеров.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story:

    Let's start chronological with the Prologue. I think the Prologue is the weakest point in the games story. A prologue should introduce the player to the characters and story, sadly this prologue fails to do so. All the new characters stay rather bland, even Dina, besides you spend around an hour with her. Also Abby seems rather bland, while she is not when you play her later, she only hates Joel. Why? Who knows.

    So: Joel dies by Abbys Hand. Many people complained that Joel says his name which is out of character with the first game. Yes, this looks like it at first glance, again the prologue fails to explain backgrounds, you only the get puzzle pieces late in the story, like a conflict with Ellie and probable knowledge that a group hunts the both down. I think Joel sacrificed himself to save Ellie, thinking if they got him, they won't chase after Ellie. The last good deed he could do, to make her forgive.

    However after the prologue the story gets stronger and stronger. The writing is excellent! You play 3 days as Ellie with Dina and Jesse on your side, searching for Abbys group and then the past 3 days as Abby from her perspective.

    You learn all the characters emotions and reasons, though you probably never really agree with their actions. You understand them, but you might not agree with them. This is where the story gets so strong as it organically avoids a black and white thinking. There are no heroes and no bad guys, only humans driven by emotions like hate, revenge, love, sadness etc.

    You see both "sides" and you learn to like all the characters. You not agree with their actions sometimes, but you understand... It's really a roller coaster of emotions. Brilliant writing, can't explain it otherwise!

    The Epilogue and ending also show how much hate and revenge can destroy you and your relationships. The relationship Ellie built with Dina is destroyed over the fact Ellie can't let loose and have to hunt after Abby again, in the end leaving her alive, like she did in Seattle. Coming home, Dina gone, Ellie lost 2 fingers can't really play guitar anymore, the guitar Joel gifted to her.

    Really excellent writing! Prologue a bit weak, some later cutscenes should appear here, but keep going and you get rewarded with an amazing story!

    Also if you think there is some agenda here, you didn't understood the story one bit. The game more shows of violence is causing even more violence and how it and revenge and hate can destroy people.

    Also Abby is not said nor mentioned to be LGTB. Not sure where this got from, but only because she is muscular, means she is LGTB? I think not.

    Gameplay:

    Definitely a huge improvement to the first game. They took the first games gameplay and expanded it. You have more upgrades, more weapons and more possibilities to deal with enemies. Stealth and Combat are better to do, the encounter areas are bigger allowing for more ways and possibilities. Also you can now climb, swim and dive.

    While the game at it's core is still a pretty linear game, there is a hub area at the start and in general the levels are bigger as ever before. Encounters go very fluent into each other, while you walk around, explore and try to find the right way to go. Also you should explore to not only get collectibles, but also training manuals, useful items, upgrades and new weapons.

    A little downside is, that there are not much differences between Ellie and Abby. They have different weapons, but with exception of 2-3 weapons, they feel the same. Even the upgrades are more or less the same, just in different orders and skill trees. Movement is the same as well.

    Nonetheless so far the best Gameplay in a Naughty Dog game and definitely on par with other excellent AAA titles.

    Graphics:

    Do i really have to say something here? Amazing Textures, Models, Levels and Animations. Really an eye to detail. It looks gorgeous! Watch a trailer, what you see there, is in the game 1:1.

    Sound / Music:

    Perfect as well. Amazing sound design and amazing music tracks, still have a few in my head. Better as the first game as well, the composer really did an amazing job and surpassed his work of the first game!

    In the end:

    While the Prologue is the weakest point, The Last of Us Part 2 is an amazing game. The Story is really amazing, no "agenda" to be found, as said, if you see such a thing you didn't understood the story or outright didn't played the game.

    Besides that Gameplay, Graphics and Sound / Music are on amazing levels and the Game is just awesome! Play it!

    I give it a 9 / 10. Despite the weak prologue, the game is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't let the short-sighted anti-LGBT community dissuade you from what is arguably one of the greatest sequels for a video game ever made next to Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, RDR2 and more! While the game's gameplay is fairly similar to part 1, the fact of the matter is that they've improved the enemy AI tenfold, added quite a few mechanics to the game as well as a new and interesting way to explore the environments around you.

    Honestly, people hate on the game because they expected another Joel and Ellie story ala Uncharted but instead got **** by the creators of the game and instead went with a multi-perspective take on life in this world and how pointless a revenge quest is in the first place! If you can't grasp the greatness of the game over shortsighted issues, then you aren't looking at the bigger picture at all! This is one of the greatest games I've ever played and would recommend it to anyone I meet!    … Expand

    It is a technically speaking game, the gameplay is good, it has wonderful graphics, some beautiful scenes, beautiful music, the problem with the game is the story. It had a very strange course, characters dying for free, the joel's death was very meaningless, the joel from the first game would never die like that, it is a game but with a very controversial story.

    There are things that will always be with you. Not like burns that you don’t remember until someone asks. But others, mental burns that you can’t get rid of, that every day with you, that you need to put up or try to heal at any cost. Justice, good and evil, all this is subjective in the eyes of the beholder, and often patching wounds with the help of revenge only gives rise to new wounds.There are things that will always be with you.

Needless to say I really wanted to play this game, I never preorder games. So rewind to when game previews came out. They're saying "it's bleak and not a fun game but it's not suppose to be. Yada yada all that jazz."I watched a few of those but one preview made a really good observation without really spoiling the game for me. I think it was IGN, I'm not sure, but the preview said you, as Ellie, and your crew are not the good guys in this game. As a matter of fact, I will take a step further and say there are no good guys in this game. Just people doing bad things that are not as bad as the other people doing bad things. Everyone does everything they do to survive so can you really say there's a lot of room for morality in a video game with a the backdrop of revenge like this? Every decision has a consequence and that comes tenfold in this game. Anyway that little tidbit alone got me personally excited to play this game. Now I'm not a hypercritical person so I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the game. I'm not saying there aren't plot holes and bugs and AI incompetence. Those things exist. I am saying it wasn't enough to draw me out of the game and stopped me from wanting to see it to the end. By the end of the game I was as exhausted as the characters and I felt like we both just wanted to see an end. And when that end came I wanted more so I hopped on the remastered and booted up Factions. Can't wait for that to drop or any DLC for TLOU2. I recommend you to play it and let your opinions be the ones that guide you. If you liked the first one you owe it to yourself to give this one a shot.… 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]
