Review on 🎮 The Last of Us Part II - Standard Edition [PS4] (Uncensored) by Ada Kotarska ᠌
It works, but I don't think I'll be buying it again.
I'm a big fan of the first part. The fact that Ellie is a lesbian became clear to me back in 2022, when I played the prequel The Last of Us: left behind. There, the theme of Ellie's orientation was clearly expressed by the developers, and it did not bother me. I have a complaint in general to the plot, and not to the topic of feminism or minorities. I can’t even believe that this was done by the same studio as the first part and the Uncharted series. Well, as for minorities, you still feel that the hype topics of minorities and feminism are directly shoved here. In my opinion, everything should be in moderation. After all, a game about survival in the world after a zombie apocalypse. I have nothing against either one or the other, but almost all the main characters are representatives of the hype direction now. SPOILER CONTINUE! Joel - one of the most beloved characters in computer games - is killed at the very beginning. I think, since he was a white man and a heterosexual, he simply had no chance to survive in this game. Very disappointing. We could have left it at least, I wouldn't have been so disappointed. After completing the first part, I was really looking forward to the sequel. After passing the second part - I buried this series for myself. I don't even want to continue. 3 stars out of 5 for the graphics alone.
- Excellent graphics, on the hardware of 2022 to give out this - my respect for programmers and left-hand designers.
- Even if you remove all feminism and LGBT - the message, there are a lot of stupid turns of events in the game. Boring storytelling. The ending is about nothing. The gameplay is very tight. The amount of action is too small. Basically, you just wander from point A to point B. In the first part, this was also present, but due to the change of seasons and locations, plus the maps themselves were smaller - there was no such drag and dullness on the level. In the second part of the game, the maps are slightly larger, the levels are more empty, the level design is the same - everything is dark green.
