    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2/10 за графику и атмосферу. Ужасный сюжет, который не стоил смерти Джоэла. Абсолютно не раскрытые персонажи, которые не вызывают ни капли сопереживания. Недосказанность и нелогичность преследует нас всю игру. Очень спорный момент с жестокостью, тут с ней явно перебор, что безусловно даёт крутую атмосферу, но выглядит как какой-то фетиш создателей.
    Очень обидно за эту игру, столько стараний вложено в проект, а получилось не понятно что.
    Игра должна была стать великой, не решись они на такой эксперимент. Многие хвалят за такую смелость, я же не вижу в этом ничего хорошего. Фанатов жестоко обманули, обещая им в трейлерах одно, а продавая совершенно другое.
    ЛГБТ повестка не делает игру хуже или лучше, на неё абсолютно плевать.
    Хотелось бы хорошей истории, с нашими любимыми персонажами, но этого мы уже не получим. Надеюсь они не станут делать продолжение, потому что этой игрой убили всю франшизу. Те кто пишут что наслаждаются игрой несмотря на сюжет, очень вам завидую. Но я считаю что сюжет стоит на первом месте, хорошая история может перекрыть все остальные грехи (to the moon тому пример). Здесь же наоборот, сюжет перекрывает все остальные плюсы игры.
    И оспаривая главный контраргумент всех защитников игры, она плохая не из-за ЛГБТ повестки, это абсолютно неважно, она плохая из-за ужасной истории. Сюжет этой игры это надругательство над первой частью, над фанатами, кредит доверия уже не вернуть.
    Спасибо за самое сильное разочарование в жизни, тратить деньги на следующие части франшизы смысла не имеет.    … Expand

Game play was pretty good... but the whole game was ruined by poor story telling... making characters make choices against there established personalities and get themselves killed because of it... and then have to sit through 50% of the game as the villan and try to get our simpathy points... last but not least we don't even get to kill the person I want to kill!!!! **** this pretentious piece of ****… Expand

    When to me this is a bad game it ignores your freedom of choices and free will in this game so you have different outcomes for game play it's lazy game design. In that sense I am not saying it looks bad I am saying from a graphics and game design much of the game was focused on making you do only what NEIL WANTED you to do. It's very lazy and cheap sure looks great as we can tell but itWhen to me this is a bad game it ignores your freedom of choices and free will in this game so you have different outcomes for game play it's lazy game design.

It's very lazy and cheap sure looks great as we can tell but it better look great with all that confined space you travel. Now you compare this to GOW and Detroit become human. We were promised more from Detroit become human. GOW looks great story isn't bad but it doesn't again give you many choices YOU want to make as a player. Games need to evolve as a whole and stop giving us "pretty" games pretty doesn't equal a good game. Sure I want my games looking good but I also want good amount of frames I want good game mechanics new ways to do things add and improve on game play be able to make choice in the game. People got mad with this because with this linear game story is what matters and they killed off Joel the cool older father figure that saves Ellie. Then making religious people out to mass murders of an insane cult. Then adding trans into the game weird choice but ok the story is all that needed to be good. That is all that mattered in this game. They F it up and you don't even get to decide the outcome. If you killed someone who was like a father to me and saved me your damn right your ass would be toast.… Expand

    This is a poor game of revenge. No one acts like they did before. Joel and Ellie act like they dropped a few IQ points since the first game. The theme of humans are the real monsters falls apart since it feels completely contrived.

    Trash, just straight up trash. I’m sure you’ve all seen the spoilers. This game just didn’t have any respect for the original story wise. The gameplay is fine, nothing bad about it i have to say in particular, but i played this game for the story. The continuation of the first one. And this? It’s... it’s just not it chief.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So angry, I had heard all the rumors and spoilers, but thought no, I'm going to give it a chance. I'm going to make my own mind up, maybe the story of what leads to the spoilers would make up for main character deaths. No, no, no, it doesn't, I'm maybe 1 hour in if that, and the graphics and textures of the world are awful , the interactions with scenery is like that of a nintendo64 game. But then neil druckman whom has literally put himself in the game he has ruined literally spits on Joel as he lays there bleeding from his head, and then he thretans to shoot ellie and is only stopped but another npc. Thanks to amazon I can return this piece of crap and get my money back. Defiantly not a MUST PLAY, more of a MUST AVOID. Like spiderman 3 and the last jedi, this game has ruined what could have been a great franchise.… Expand

Part 1 is all about a man and girl and getting the solution of the world a cure for a virus but he is not willing to sacrifice her since she is the cure and saves her. Part 2 the man is kill by revenge in a stupid way and the game is no longer about a cure but about a love triangle, revenge and forgiveness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a dissapointment. Not because I expected a full fan-service game where Joel and Ellie would roam the world happy together, but because of the simplistic, naive and really Preachy writing that provides the player with zero choices (e.g. alternate endings) and zero critical thinking: it feels as if there is just someone that yells "ohh look how bad revenge is", "how can you do that" the whole time you play.

    The story does not have a steady pace, the dialogues are cringy and the characters (especially the secondary ones) seem to have lost their depth ad complexity (nothing like Bill, Sam, David or Riley of the first game).
    Joel and Tommy are completely out of character (They say their names to the strangers in the first minutes, really???) and Joel's death is just anticlimactic for the shock-value of it no build-up, nothing.

    We are forced to play as Abby, a character that the game reeally insists we have to like and sympathise with (some manipulative tricks here are ridiculous- see repetitive dog-petting while Ellie only kills dogs) and her gameplay takes up about 10-12 hours, almost half of the game, at a timing where there is so much anguish for what will happen to Ellie, that you simply want to be done with it and rush it. There were zero references on that aspect of the game, a really sneaky move by Naughty Dog, probably because they would be afraid of backlash that would reduce pre-orders.

    Lastly, the ending is ridiculous. No closure, no revenge, Abby gets away after having commited her revenge, while Ellie regrets it and loses everything nonetheless. I wouldn't mind if both protagonists died and we got to see a more Shakespearean ending of nemesis for the so called circle of violence; that would at least be interesting. Instead, we get another anticlimactic moment and a mild hint for a part-three, that will be depended on the sales of the second one I am sure. Pity.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "They Laughed at Us" Deception.
    I think deception is a word that translate the meaning of this DLC of the first game. This is not a new TLOU game, is more like a really sick joke than a game.

    TLOU 1 is my favorite game of all time, I played it a lot, I played at least 7 times the campaign. And I just love everything about It. The mechanics of the game is simply awesome, the plot is extraordinarily immersive and beautyfull, this game make you love all the characters of it. Maria, Tommy, Bill and of course, Joel and Ellie. TLOU 1 tell the history of this duo in a simple and fantastic way, the fights against the enemies and even the discussion of Joel and Ellie is made in a way that everything fits perfect. TLOU 1 is a MASTERPIECE in the plot, in the mechanics of how the game works and how this "New World" is against everyone and obviously, how the characters are built to fit in the game.

    TLOU "Pt. 2" is the very opposite of TLOU 1, the characters are there for the hell of it, however much the mechanics and adds of this new game are really cool, like breaking windows and really modifying your weapons is insane, and the setting is amazing, as the sounds of everything. But this is a game based in the plot, and if the plot is terrible, so the game is just a piece of garbage. It starts by killing my favorite character of all time in a stupid way. JOEL EVEN SAID IN THE FIRST GAME NOT TO TRUST ANYONE, SO HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD JUST BELIEVE IN A TOTAL STRANGER LIKE ABBY!!!! WOW NICE ONE NAUGHTY DOG!!!
    In this game, not like TLOU 1, they don't mind making you like the characters, the developers criated some flat characters and expect that you to care about them, and they expect you to be sad about their deaths, thing that we don’t care about. You are supposed to like and love the new characters, but when they die, you simply ignore it and keep playing. And in the middle of the game, you are forced to play with the killer of Joel, for 9 ****** hours. And they want you to believe that Abby is a good person by forcing events that make it seem like she really is, and of couse, in a terrible way. The final is just horrible, they make Ellie forgive Abby in a trash way, with the excuse that Ellie doesn’t want to become like Abby, Which is honestly idiotic considering everyone who was killed by Ellie. Speaking about Ellie, they took a ready-made protagonist and threw it in the trash, everything that shaped Ellie for a deep character in the first game was thrown in the trash and she turned into a dumb flat character who only thinks of revenge and nothing else. It's frustating how bad the plot of the second game is, this is not a continuation of the masterpiece that was the first game. This is nothing but a bad joke turned into a triple A game. By killing Joel, our beloved protagonist, you simply ignored all the mass of fans of the first game and stepped on your feelings.
    For new people that are playing this game, they could tell that is a great game. But in my opinion, this "sequel" is nothing more than a stupid sick joke, this thing could be called "They Laughed at Us" because the developers did it with the lovers of the first game. They think that making a SJW protagonist is a reason to make the plot horrible, while you play 30 hours of campaign suffering expecting that it ends.
    Last but no Least, there's no reason to force you to like Abby and understand her. i played all the TLOU 1 with Joel, so i love him, and i really care about him, and killing Joel will not make me happy, not at all. Killing Joel means that you ignore the hole thing that was the first game, all the relationships and moments that made Joel a fantastic character, and you put an terrible excuse that "we are goin' to make a game different from all the others". This game sure doesn't deserve the GOTY, TLOU "Pt,
    . 2", as I said a lot of times, is just a joke that need to be forgotten.

    As I said, deception is a good word to translate the meaning of this game.    … Expand

    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]
