The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered

神

It's a hot take for me to say that I thoroughly enjoy this quite a bit more than the first. I can't argue that it's perfect, and my gripes mostly come from the experience of actually playing rather than its story. A lot of the hate for TLoU2 comes from either a bigoted stance or a plain dislike of the plot, neither of which make a lot of sense to me but I suppose the latter isn't as bad. I loved that this is a somewhat offbeat revenge telling that ultimately ends up unsatisfying. Many people argue that Ellie sparing Abby was an awful choice by the writing department and that they were incredibly dissatisfied. I can't help but, at the very least, interpret that as intentional. I would assume that sparing Abby was a deeply difficult choice for Ellie as well. The amount of hate Abby and her respective actress got was pretty harrowing, either stemming from the fact that she killed Joel, or that she's a woman with a very muscular physique. I think it's ridiculous to be upset over her physique, when she is literally surviving a zombie apocalypse and receiving military-like training whilst being on a revenge path. If we're being smart, every one should be jacked to ensure survival. As for her killing Joel, I can understand the emotions that were felt behind it. He was the main character in the first game, and one we grew to deeply love and care for. I do believe it's worth acknowledging that despite our adoration for him, Joel probably deserved worse than what he got. It is not ridiculous for Abby and other people to view him as the scummiest person on earth. I believe the writers intended for this, for us to feel that hatred towards Abby after she kills him, and I also believe that this point went over a lot of people's heads. The missions sometimes have you play as Abby, a way for the players to connect with her virtues and motivations, if they weren't understandable enough already. People view this as grating, but it really is players being blindsided by Joel's fate. I find Lev's character to be very interesting, despite the hatred for him as well, most of it being rooted in transphobia. I saw it as a parallel to Joel and Ellie's relationship and nurturing a child that originally wasn't yours. It's not a direct mirroring, but it follows a lot of the same patterns. The core theme of this project is that revenge isn't worth it, and we should break the cycle of violence. Because who knows, if Ellie killed Abby then maybe Lev would've tried to hunt her down, thus continuing what the game advocates against. Overall I think it's a solid 9/10. I really enjoyed this, and the roguelike mode is very enjoyable too.

Игра потрясающая. Как бы люди не спорили о сюжете, геймплейно это просто великолепно ! Один из лучших нарративных экшенов игровой индустрии !

好玩

Ну вот и завершено прохождение второй части этой великолепной серии игр. Что я могу про нее сказать? Игра стала масштабнее, красивее графически, геймплейно разнообразнее, а самое главное - игра стала взрослее. Авторы создали историю, которая заставляет испытать весь спектр наших эмоций. Она заставляет задуматься над происходящим, и каждому сделать соответствующие выводы. Тяжелая история. Если в первой части этой серии игр Элли мне очень понравилась как личность и персонаж, я проникся к ней симпатией, то во второй части серии я испытал совершенно противоположные чуства к Элли. По моему скромному мнению, поддавшись жажде мести и встав на путь того, что она совершает в этой истории, Элли стала тем человеком, который заслуживает пули не меньше, чем любой убийца в этой игре. Она стала "Одной из них". А как же Эбби?! Если в начале истории мне также казалось, что Элли действительно стоит отомстить Эбби за содеянное, то со временем я проникся историей Эбби, и понял всю ошибочность этой позиции. У обоих персонажей очень тяжелая судьба. Но то, через что прошла Эбби, не пожелаешь никому. Я максимально проникся судьбой Эбби, и мне ее стало искренне жаль... Элли приняла единственно верное решение в конце игры. Я бы очень расстроился, если бы она сделала по другому. Спасибо Naughty Dog и Sony Interactive Entertainment за эту великолепную серию игр, особенно за то, что мы можем ее лицезреть на платформе ПК. Однозначно советую всем любителям видеоигр ознакомится с данной серией и конкретно с данной частью. Игра просто великолепна!
