    Желаю всем дождавшимся приятной игры. Невероятная детализация и проработка мира, персонажей и истории. Геймплей, где нету ни одной лишней детали. Огромное спасибо Naughty Dog за раскраску наших будней.

    One of the most disappointing sequels in video game history, if you enjoyed the original game for its characters and story then this game will not be for you, if you disliked the nonsense plot of Star Wars The Last Jedi or the lazy writing of game of thrones season 8 then once again, you will be disappointed playing a game that takes the story in narrative directions that should never haveOne of the most disappointing sequels in video game history, if you enjoyed the original game for its characters and story then this game will not be for you, if you disliked the nonsense plot of Star Wars The Last Jedi or the lazy writing of game of thrones season 8 then once again, you will be disappointed playing a game that takes the story in narrative directions that should never have left the writers room, the game is FILLED with unlikable petty characters who are forced down your throat as the game tries make you sympathize with them while also spitting on the beloved characters of the original in the name of SUBVERSION. The game is simply just substanceless misery porn that employs cheap shock tactics to make the player feel sad and angry although it will probably just leave you disappointed and confused in the end because it is one of the most anti-climactic stories I have ever witnessed in any medium.… Expand

    The story is bleak, the gameplay is boring and the characters are extremely unlikable.

    Last Of Us series was perfect but Part 2 destroyed its legacy....

It made me lower my expectations lower than they have ever been and I was still disappointed. The plot is absolute garbage and that is no over exaggeration. A C grade revenge plot with utterly uninteresting characters.

    Abby is some angry chick who gets saved by Joel just for her to blow his leg off with a shotgun and then to club him to death with a golf club in the first 3 hours of gameplay. The rest of the game is a one-dimensional revenge plot that tried really hard to include some edge and depth but failed miserably.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is based on a petty and childish story about "rEvEnGE" that doesn't even go all the way with it.. In a world where society doesn't exist and survival is the one and only concern, the creators decided to lecture us about how "hate brings hate" as well as introducing main characters that have no purpose other than to represent an agenda. Characters from the first Last of Us don't act like they used too and many of them die for the sake of shock value. This game is a spit in the face to all TLOU fans and Neil made sure that we get the message when his "projection" character (Manny) spits on Joel during his last moments.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I purchased this game not just for the stellar gameplay that the original had to offer, but also for the deep and compelling characters that made the first such a masterpiece. The first game had puzzles that were clever, gameplay was good and overall, pieced together an experience that the plau could grow along with as it made the world and the characters within it relatable. But you won't find that here, not in the last of us part 2. They completely kill off beloved characters out of disrespect for fans of the first, just for shock value. The story of Ellie being unique and immune from the first is barely awknowledged. They took everything good from the first and desicrated it, it's not the same characters you fell in love with and truth be told if you loved the first games characters then you will loath part 2's.

    This "game" is not anymore a game then it is a message from the developer; a message that makes it abundantly clear that if you're white or straight then this game is NOT for you. You're the bad guy here. The gameplay consists of 20 hours of stealth and combat, with very little in between to give you a break from combat. There are no light hearted moment that gives you a reprieve from its "you're so bad and violence is wrong" message. Its hours of the same thing over and over and over, which would be fine if the story was acceptable, and SPOILER ALERT it's NOT. The main characters from the previous game have been entirely rewritten for a revenge story that conflicts with who they are. The new characters are straight from the LGBT board of representatives, and designs and personalities are probably more prejudiced than I really want to admit. Stereotypes, trans women (or women that look trans) and lesbian couples that would rather hate men than forgive them for a mistake. It'sn an utter JOKE and man I really thought ND was better than this. Lesbians and transvestites don't play your games so stop catering to them. I thought the leaks were fake, boy was in the wrong. They were dead on. I'm in the process of trying to get a refund because I'll be damed to pay for a game from a developer that hates me this much.    … Expand

Because of the people who see the gender agenda, this game will have a low score, but still this game will be great. This is a continuation of the story. In that inre, LGBT people do not scream that it is there, it’s just say passes by, but doesn’t hide everything. In the conclusion I want to say that the game is a masterpiece and a worthy end to the ps4 era!… Expand

I could even forgive the awful story if the game-play offered something interesting, but again, it only gives a feel of "been there, done that", even the one thing they could have made some big improvements on, the AI, is barelly better. It doesn't get a zero because the visuals and animations are well done,it would get even an higher score if it didn't force down my throat some of the most disgusting cutscenes I've seen in a videogame, but as it is, I think a 2 is more than fair.… Expand

Context in the story is provided at such a slow pace that it starts to get annoying. Ellie, a once loved character has turned into a boring killing machine. Everything that made Ellie, Ellie, has been removed. And the sex scenes! Just why?! Why are the developers so keen on making us uncomfortable? Not to forget, so many technical bugs! Texture popins, assets load slow, sky starts to glitch sometime, and of course my PS4 Pro is a jet engine as usual.

    Absolute disrespect to the first game and its characters. Blatant agenda pushing as far as the eye can see. This game wasn't made for fans of the original, it was a politically charged cringe fest to shove certain ideals down peoples throats, and then berate them if they don't like it.

    Pass on this and get yourself a few beers or another game. You'll be damn glad you did.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolute laughingstock of a video game. ND promises a thought provoking story that after 25 hours of game time boils down to
    -Revenge bad
    -Violence bad
    The director Neil Druckmann went out of his way and said: "The game isn't meant to be fun". What is it trying to achieve then? If you're not providing entertainment, then what are you trying to do? School me? Creators MAKE YOU go though all these terrible things and then have you feel sorry for doing it, but (and this is the worse part) not in a single instance in this game can you choose to go 'non lethal'. See that random dude over there? you're gonna have to slit his throat to progress forward. See that pregnant lady? yeah you gotta butcher her too. And what if you say 'no' , what if you decide that you've had enough and you don't want to mindlessly keep on executing dozens upon dozens of people you have never met before? Well, the game just gatekeeps you out of experiencing the rest of the story. In the name of what? Neils twisted fantasy? A laughable, petty story about revenge? Creators say that the game 'makes you think' but it never actually does. People who made this game think that suffering, gore, mass murdering gives the story depth, which is ridiculous in of itself. Making your characters experience bad things doesn't make them deep, it's the things that they think and how they feel that makes them seem like a real human being. Here, they never reflect upon what they do, and what literal war crimes they've commited. In the original game, you had moments of sadness and grief, but you also had cheerful moments and comic reliefs, There is none of that here. It feels like you are watching a Zack Snyder movie cranked up to 11, everyone is perpetually angry or sad, everyone hates each other for seemingly no reason. Think of Deanerys in GoT s8 and copy paste her ridiculous flip out where she goes on to kill everyone onto every other character in this game. And after all this, laying waste to over 100+ people in graphic fashion, that phisically made me sick and the game forces you to do, you get a manifesto from ND saying that it's wrong to kill people. Are you serious?

    On top of all that pandering and literly spitting on the previous game that people loved you get gameplay mechanics from 2009. I can't stress this enough, in terms of it's gameplay design, this is one of the most outdated, unimaginative AAA game you will ever see. You get the dudes back with one button, stab him with a different one, sometimes shoot the gun, that's it. Game markets having dogs as if it was some game-breaking revolutionary addition even though every stealth game has them. All these new gameplay elements, you've seen all of them in different games, sure they are refined, but not in a way that's worth talking about.

    Graphics and sound design are top notch, you already knew that.    … Expand

    Great graphics, beautifully crafted environments, solid gameplay like the first. But the story is just awful. What I know of the story ruins it. Everything and every one that was made good in the first game is completely destroyed in this one for a character that has little to do with anything really and is entirely unlikeable or relatable.

    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.
