    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lazy Writing/storytelling, Boring characters, and an ending that spits in the players face. Ellie is just wooden compared to the first game. Joel is disrespected as a character and the abby character is forced and not organic at all. 7 years for this? Major disappointment. Biggest let down of 2020… Expand

    Спойлеров нет.

    First game - story driven, relationship building between Joel and Ellie, good balance between gameplay and cuscenes.

    Second game - agenda driven, decisions from characters which make 0 sense, uninspiring story. At this point I have a feeling they'll change kratos to a trans female.

    The worst ever!! There is nothing new in this game, I can say it's a reboot for TLU1. All environments are the same and your enemies can't have a good reaction to your actions OR they have an extreme and too visement one. When you set the difficulty higher the game spare all equipment from you and it's hard just because you don't have anything. Otherwise I think R* can sue against SonyThe worst ever!!

    A clichéd dogma seems to have manifested - that if you do not like or appreciate this game's storytelling, you're too ignorant to comprehend its symbolism or complexity. Couple this with the prevalent bigoted comments, there seems to be little focus on rational criticisms aside from a quick acknowledgement that a few exist. Instead, the more exhaustive discussions often seem to digressA clichéd dogma seems to have manifested - that if you do not like or appreciate this game's storytelling, you're too ignorant to comprehend its symbolism or complexity. Couple this with the prevalent bigoted comments, there seems to be little focus on rational criticisms aside from a quick acknowledgement that a few exist. Instead, the more exhaustive discussions often seem to digress into this belief that the majority of scrutiny has an ulterior, alt-right motive (beknownst to the reviewer or not). While it is important to talk about considering it could very well be true, the toxic and polarizing result leaves little room left for those valid critiques.

    And I (among several others I've spotted) thought there were huge problems with the game that aren't nested in anti-progressive attitudes...

    On the vaccine - my interpretation (and it could be wrong) of the first game was that this was nothing more than fleeting hope amongst an incredibly desperate rag-tag group of abused and abusive individuals. There was little, if any, inductive evidence provided to suggest that one could actually be derived from Ellie, aside from minor lip-service. There was no invitro-testing, data analysis, or even procurement of proper scientific equipment to produce one, presented/mentioned in the storyline. Then there's the manufacturing, development, adverse-event monitoring, and proper coordination of conveying this information to other researchers/physicians (and how many of those are left?) across the continent in order to vaccinate everyone, assuming there would be no other unforeseen phenomenon, catastrophes, wars over the drug, etc… All in all, the science was left to your imagination, which is fine, but my imagination never really lead me to believe that, in this universe as presented, it was viable. So I understood (though didn't necessarily agree) with Joel's motivations in the first game, and why I felt that his lie to Ellie was so moving at the end.

    I'm unsure if the story of LOUII was already planned during the development of the first. If so, I think the first one should've been handled differently. If not, then I'm not clear as to why so much weight was given to the effectiveness of the vaccine, as it was never construed to be. This trivializes the ethical justification for Abby - as I do not truly believe she was utilitarian, nor her father. Thus, it's hard to agree an "eye for an eye" was ever properly indicated, which I think was the intent of this revenge plot.

    So I didn't really like the story for that main reason. The gameplay was also a bit boring -- it just felt dated, and perhaps there were just too many interactive cinematic parts. I strongly disliked the soundtrack... I didn't find any of the (very few) tracks moving, aside from a few pieces, and most of the game you trudge through silence. Though the actual sound effects were solid, as was the voice acting.

    Graphics, on the other hand, were brilliant. It's a shame I can't get as much FPS as I'd like from a PS4, but nonetheless, they were absolutely phenomenal!

    Overall - I'd give this game a 3/10. The main value resulting from the artistic portrayal of the environments. It wasn't really fun to play, the story was a bit too long, and the motif of revenge has been done better before. At $60... that's asking too much for the quality that it is...    … Expand

    5 anos de espera para vir esse lixo, estou muito decepcionado com a sacanagem que a ND fez com os fãs de TLOU, se tivesse uma bola de cristal, pediria para que o jogo ficasse travado na primeira versão mesmo para não ter jogado esse lixo.

    I do not like this game, i can't accept the dead of Joel in that way from the daughter of a PNG of the first TLOU, i can't accept impersonate the hateful character of Abby, i can't accept the vapid ending.
    The story of TLOU ends in the first game, there was no need for a sequel, don't buy this garbage.

    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]
