    This game is an excellent example of a technically excellent game with awesome graphics (for PS4). But also it is a game with incredibly badly written stories and extremely boring gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What you have here is a game with stunning graphics (just like the first) and mediocre, clunky, slow, and outdated gameplay (just like the first).

    What made the first a masterpiece was not its gameplay, but its characters and story. It was a journey of loss and gain, of despair and salvation, of a father and daughter. How a father would do anything to protect his daughter.

    This game fails to capture that at all. Taking all the ham-fisted agenda out of the mix as well as the actions taken by Naughty Dog and Sony in the lead up to the release...the story itself is just poorly told. We get no payoff to the events that concluded the first game. You get Joel acting uncharacteristically stupid, being emasculated, and then being unceremoniously slaughtered right off the bat. Die patriarchy. But it also means we get no resolution between Joel and Ellie in relation to the conclusion of the first game.

    No one gives a hoot about Abby. She’s not a compelling character. She’s not a likable character. Yet we’re stuck with her for much of the game. And then when all is said and done we don’t even get a proper resolution to the revenge story arc. Ellie kills hundreds of people just to let Abby live, because reasons. Abby accomplishes her goal. Woohoo. Meanwhile Ellie has lost everything. Her father, her partner, her fingers, her friends...but hey...crippling depression is all the rage.

    You have a ton of media either kissing its rear because of its “progressive themes” or because they are afraid of losing access. It’s not THAT good. Get real. And then you have a lot of fanboys and fangirls that haven’t yet come to terms with how bad the story actually is. This is a “The Last Jedi” situation through and through. When you sacrifice story and character for agenda this is what happens. Probably wrote the story in an afternoon.    … Expand

    Of course I could mention the story, but do I really need to do it? It feels like it was written by a teenager trying to be edgy. If you think that "mature writing" is just throwing a lot of violence and sex at the screen, you're totally unqualified for the job.    … Expand

    The game's graphics are beautiful. Great mechanics like the first game. Amazing environments by the concept artists. Stellar voice acting. But the story is TERRIBLE. One must judge for themselves, but I don't believe this game should have been made. They found a way to give the most depressing ending possible to two of the greatest characters of all time.

    游戏缺乏新意，剧情庸俗，叙事及格，画面很好，音乐很好，演出很好，动画自然，急于与前作划清界限，令人费解。既然开发者现在自称是New Dog，那就打个0分鞭策鞭策，希望New Dog能取得长足进步。

    Sony and Naughty Dog bribe the media to give the game glowing reviews, but the consumers see right through their corruption. What a terrible way to end the PS4 era.

    The first part was much better. This game lacks freedom of decision-making to change the story of the game. This is a major flaw.

    When Neil druckmann said "we don't use the word fun" he REALLY wasn't kidding. Tlou2 is a betrayal to the original game's character, story, and fans. I should have listened to the rumors. i'll just pretend that this game doesn't exist

    What kind of story do you want to tell,but it was a terrible way of saying it.Especially for a linear story game!!!!A bad story is a failure of the game.And this work completely negates the values ​​of the previous work, which is the most failure.

    Regarding Abby, Her behavior is not bad, she can help people who have helped her, but she and Joel have different values. She thinks it is    What kind of story do you want to tell,but it was a terrible way of saying it.Especially for a linear story game!!!!A bad story is a failure of the game.And this work completely negates the values ​​of the previous work, which is the most failure.

    Regarding Abby, Her behavior is not bad, she can help people who have helped her, but she and Joel have different values. She thinks it is worthwhile to sacrifice to save all mankind. But Joel accompanied me throughout most of the United States. When she came to power, she brutally killed Joel. How do you make me feel good about her? The bond between Joel and me, how can a passer-by just debut! Finally forced me to forgive her, can you forgive your enemy?Although as the story progressed, let me understand Abby's person.It's farting!Since Abby can succeed in revenge, then let Ellie also succeed in revenge,After all, Abby has completed his revenge.This is fair!

    In addition, there are problems with other roles. As an impressive supporting role, Jesse died so sloppyly as a cannon fodder. As soon as Gina opened her support for Ellie’s revenge, she didn’t say she was pregnant, and finally persuaded Ellie to give up her revenge. Was it teasing me?

    The most serious problem is Ellie, which is completely inconsistent with previous works. She is a real Virgin Mary **** has already killed so many people, even at this time she could not bear the heart,this fly in the face of Ellie's "Tough" public image.After Joel's death, she can still fall in love happily and forgive her enemies in hard revenge. Sorry, I am a fool. I cannot understand the generosity and friendliness of the screenwriter. I only know that if Ellie is dead, Joel will kill the enemy without hesitation.

    As for the ending, what I want to say is, at least please give me a choice.I know there is no real right or wrong in this environment, but my bondage with Joel is deeper,Although Abby has his own justice but I don’t want the screenwriter to forgive Abby for me. I want to avenge Joel.

    In addition to the plot, the remaining parts have maintained a high standard, whether it is music, pictures or details. But the expression of the plot is so bad that it disappoints players who are looking forward to the sequel.

    Most importantly, Joel’s method of death is unacceptable！！！！！！！！

    I give the game a high score in production, but I give the plot 5 points because it is too far away from the previous game.The screenwriter overturned the previous values ​​and turned the work into a mediocre work and a out-dated TV series.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я не понимаю кто решил, что это будет хоть кому-то интересно. Игра просто невероятно длиннющая. Главного персонажа, которого любят все игроки, убивают сразу же в первые часы игры. И это объясняется тем, что Джоел убил отца Эбби, ЧТОБЫ СПАСТИ ЭЛЛИ. А теперь вопрос: почему мне, как игроку, должно быть не плевать на Эбби и ее папашу?
    Как я могу сопереживать персонажам, которых я вообще не знаю?
    Джоел это главный герой прошлой игры. Мы играли за него, знали его историю и мотивацию. Да если бы он хоть 10 отцов убил, все равно ни один игрок бы не поменял свое мнение о нем.
    Персонажи ведут себя как полные идиоты. Томми то говорит "НЕЛЬЗЯ МСТИТЬ ЭТО ОПАСНО", через несколько часов: "ТЫ МНЕ ОБЕЩАЛА ОТОМСТИТЬ ИДИ МСТИ"
    Джоел никому не доверял в первой игре, с какого черта он просто так говорит свое имя и где они живут НЕЗНАКОМЦАМ?
    Про концовку я вообще молчу. Всю игру Элли убивала сотни людей, чтобы добраться до Эбби. И в итоге она ее просто освобождает И В ИТОГЕ ОТПУСКАЕТ. Просто прекрасно!
    Единственное, за что я не ставлю игре 0 это музыка и визуальная часть. Игра выглядит и правда просто невероятно. Но как говно не заверни, это все равно говно. Не советую никому покупать эту игру, лучше сохраните время и деньги.    … Expand

    A good movie producer: "We've got 2 hours of entertainment for your and the message, but you only pay for the 2 hours and can skip the message". The Last of Us 2 uses the opposite approach: "We have been so carried away with the message so we written the most illogical and officious script, sacrificed those you hold dear and many more things just to be sure you get our moral".

    What a waste of seven years. At some point these AAA developers need to think about who they are making their games for. Is it for the sweet sweet critic love, or for the actual people who play the game and enjoy escaping reality. The saddest part of it all is they will still make a ton of money and just continue to make what they want, audience be damned.

    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]
