    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Дракман нам даёт понять, что будет 3-я часть. НО(!), щачем нудно было убивать Джоэла в самом начале игры, зачем нам показывать в сюжете одну месть. Зачем нам нужна Эбби(терминатор), зачем нам показывают её жизнь и так сказать дают сравнить терминатора с Элии. Зачем, зачем, зачем.... 5/10, где 4 - графика и прочие мелочи и ещё +1 балл за концовку, которая даёт понять, что будет продолжение. Нил, услышь нас и убери все недочёты хотя бы в DLC… Expand

    When you finish the game you are gonna ask yourself "Was it worth it? " Answer is for me a big NO. Except gameplay this game is pixar movie. Good animated one but with a bad story. I can watch a bad pixar movie for 10 dolar or I can get a Disney+ and watch a bunch of good animation movie. This GAME does not deserve 60 dolar.

    Truly a disappointment. First off I can’t stand SJW stuff, never have never will. TLOU2 ruined some of my favorite characters. I can’t believe I waited 6 years for this. I keep thinking this is just a bad dream and I’ll wake up to a solid game that everyone loves :(. The sex scene was kind of hot though I wish there was more of that.

In terms of gameplay, there is nothing revolutionary here, I would say that it is simply boring, just such a development of the first part. I had the impression that the game is a bit long (by the plot) and was starting to tire me because in the second part of the game how it was presented to us was not very interesting to me. In my opinion, the potential that was hidden in it was wasted, maybe it's not wasted 7 years because the game outside the story and gameplay looks really good. But is graphics in games the most important? NO. That's why I don't understand why NaughtDog decided to lead the narrative like that. It could have been an outstanding game but unfortunately in my opinion it is at most good. The game does not deserve 0 but as well as 10. To sum up, the game did not meet my expectations, and I do not know where these 10/10 are from.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After a few hours in this game it’s exactly what I expected. A lot of the combat and controls feel recycled and marginally improved if at all. The graphics are a step up, but the gameplay feels monotonous. There are strange mini-games and constant swapping between characters which kind of feels out of place.

    Beyond the gameplay comes a feeling of forced inclusion as the story rips apart everything that the first game built up. The beautiful strong character dynamics shared by Ellie and Joel is destroyed in this game (literally). Only to be replaced by seemingly forced indoctrination into an LGBT community where transsexual, and homosexual ideals take center stage. Even to include an extremely perverse scene of sexual intercourse between two males. This game serves no purpose beyond pushing an agenda and destroying the legacy of an amazing game. I recommend you avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    Absolute technological marvel from the whole technical team at Naughty Dog. The level of quality and skill of craft is seen from beginning to end and I cannot praise this high enough. Even on the base PS4 you will be in awe as you explore the varied environments over the course of the game. The world comes alive from trash on the streets, clutter in the houses, light sources that react to everyday materials and nature, textures and meshes that mimic real life, foliage breaking through cracks of a collapsed society, and sound design that brings you into the brutal world you know from the first game.

    Unfortunately, the experience is ruined by poor writing and story telling from the first death to the last, through hundreds of infected, humans, and even animals. The progress of story telling jumps all over the place, characters are dull and only introduced to throw into the meat grinder, and everything is misery for the sake of shock. Characters from all representations are introduced over the course of the game which is a great step forward for all groups, but actually sympathizing or caring about them will be a hard sell for many. You will be angry, frustrated, and wanting to rush through much of the story in attempts to bring back focus for another character.

    The game reads like an attempt to be but falls on its head with a hard fail of an ending that is left open for more of the same in the future. Some major restructuring would have done this game some benefits and likely avoided how it is being absolutely **** on right no by the general majority. Is this saying that review bombing is good in this case? No. I want to warn people; The trailers cannot be trusted and have edited footage for pushing sales.

    I cannot recommend this game. If you were a fan of the first just leave it as that. If you come into this you will feel like walking away by hour 3. You will have half of the 25 hours playtime (on average) in this state of mind. This is by-design and in no way to the benefit of the player.

    The Last of Us was lightning in a bottle and will not happen again at the Naughty Dog studio under the current director and writers. Violence is bad and we all know it and this isn't introducing new concepts or becoming an instance classic. You are hurting your existing brand and will only be remembered for that.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

    While in TLOU you get to see how Joel saved Ellie by killing a surgeon and stopped humanity’s only chance at finding a cure, in the TLOU 2, you get to know who the surgeon was, who his daughter Abby was and who his close and loved ones were – but only after you watch them kill off Joel

    The character building in this game is strong and nuanced

    You get to see Marlene and this surgeon at odds with themselves about carrying out the surgery, knowing it would cost Ellie her life, given how he’s a father himself - Abby says she would’ve given her life had it been her - and finally how Abby had her father taken away from her at the hands of Joel

    While Joel’s death at the start is jarring, it gets the player riled up enough to want to go after Abby

    Its only after this that you get to know Abby better as a person, her dad and her whole crew better and have a moment of, “Holy **** if someone did that to my dad, I wouldn’t care, I’d want to kill them too”

    Neither Ellie or Abby are objectively bad people, but an ‘eye for an eye’ world causes them both to kill off each other’s loved ones off till they’re the last people standing – while going after each other, Abby and Ellie simultaneously get to know each other and where they’re both coming from respectively The gameplay is realistic, brutal and visceral - stealth is on point, and the gunplay and melee combat is waaay better than TLOU - you have to time your dodges and hits right, and its very engaging - the seamless transitions from cinematic to gameplay are amazing

    Yeah there are lesbian characters, POCs and a sex scene in the game, but that’s just part of storytelling, the same as it would be on a Netflix show

    Like in the real world, people take digs at each other and talk and act believably This game is riddled with moments of characters making ‘bad’ decisions under pressure and a fit of rage, which is also realistic - have you never been on the spot and made a bad move because your anger couldn’t let you think straight?

    The message this game sends in a time when the world is so riddled with chaos and a thirst for vengeance is a message that resonated with me You could avenge someone, but it would never end there - someone who cared for them will always come around to get back at you - its a cycle that’ll never break unless someone decides to be the better person and ultimately forgive the other

    I’m with the critics on this one, its a 10/10 for me    … Expand

Very disappointing considering the first 10 or so hours are so brilliant in terms of game play, graphics, and the moments where Ellie shines. It hurts even more after playing a flashback with the 2 original characters that shows that naughty dog knows what the fans wanted and yet still chose this horrible story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Please watch the first few hours of the game before you decide to buy it. This game is what i can only describe as torture p0rn + Jake Skywalker + dany forgot about the iron fleet.

    A lot of the promotiona footage was altered to make you think you are geting Joel but in reality they ither replaced a character that is actually there in the ingame cutscene or "aged up" Joel and Ellie to make it look like it's not a flashback. In reality Joel get's killed in a completly retarded way cause Niel Druckman wanted to make torture p0rn. The rest of the game is all abaut revenge but in the end we don't even get that cause Ellie decides not to kill the golfer that beat Joel to death cause... revege is bad? This is after she killed a ton of other people in her persuit of revenge but she randomly decides that the one who actually killed Joel can live. I'm suuuure this has nothing to do with the fact that Hulk golfer and "deffinitly not Niel Druckman" **** in the game.

    The "game" parts are good so i guess it's technicly better than COD and whatnot but this story deserves a dedicated "storyless mode".

    Overall, this is a bad movie sequal on a good but not amazing game skeleton.

    8 gameplay

    Neil Druckmann has single-handedly destroyed this series, this studio, and has polarized the video game community the likes the industry has never seen.

The result is a game created by a man with a narcissistic personality disorder, coupled with authoritarian tendencies with an insular world view who disregards any constructive criticism that is aimed to improve and give feedback to what is "just another video game".

    Any normal and avid movie fan can analyse this story and see the gaping plot holes that exist within the character arcs, the stories narrative, it offers ZERO cohesion from the last game, the narrative ideas and tropes are taken straight from Quentin Tarrantino's works (speaks for the originality of the lead writer). There is no levity or nothing really that the fans have been dying to find out, nothing original from the first game, just a tone deaf piece of work from Neil Druckman who said, and I quote "We don't use the word Fun": a walking simulator with sleepy cutscenes in between tackily placed, repetitive gameplay and artificial game lengtheners resounds with his philosophy.

    This game is not in any way a masterpiece, to characterize it that way would do a disservice to the meaning of the word itself. It is an "Okay" story, with overused ideas, executed in a disappointingly disorganized way.    … Expand
