If this game was less then 20 hours, I don't think I would have as much of a problem with it, but this thing drags on way to long. Between the solid, yet insanely repetitive gameplay, petty dialogue, and massive sections of gameplay that should have been just cutscenes, by the time I was halfway done, I felt so mentally drained that I had to force myself to finish it. I'm not saying that every minute has to be balls to the wall action, explosions and **** flying everywhere, but when your game is 25+ hours, and the vast majority of it is inconsequential interpersonal BS, you really got to trim some fat. Most people seem to hate the story, and while I personally despise the dialogue, I don't really care that much. I enjoyed the first TLOUP, but wasn't in love with it like some people, so I guess I didn't care as much about the characters or story in this game, or because I was in a near catatonic state by the final act of the game, haven't really figured out which one yet. I will say, one of things I noticed with the story was that it felt out of order, like they had all the major story moments in a file somewhere and accidently scrambled them. The flow of the story just doesn't work sometimes. Expand

Plot is actually good enough, but it's really hard to go through poor content to follow the story.
    Naughty Dog are good at making awesome stories but they do suck in making games.

    No se puede sentir empatía por el enemigo que mata violentamente a personajes importantes en el juego.

    Es como hacer un juego cuyo protagonista es Hittler.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, just because the game developers decided to take a lazy risk, doesn’t make the game a “masterpiece”. The execution was as lazy as it can get. What changed after 7 years of waiting? Nothing. Gameplay is a copy and paste from the first one, the only thing thats changed are the graphics, which look amazing of course but thats about it. You play the whole game thinking you might be getting some revenge but no, the game just..ends. You do all that chasing & killing for no reason at all. It’s okay for Abby to get revenge but not for Ellie? The game just reeks of lazy writing & uses some manipulative ways to make you like Abbys character & justify what she does. The first game was one of the few games that I played for 6+ hours straight the first time I started it because everything made sense, the story felt real, the writing felt natural & not manipulative. You felt like you were part of that world & couldn’t wait to see whats next. TLOU2 on the other hand, I just wanted it to end so I can return the disc & buy something else instead. Dull, lazy, uninspiring & I wouldn’t recommend paying more than $20 for this useless cash grab. We all know that the only reason TLOU 2 sold millions is because of TLOU 1. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have an issue with anyone dying. I have an issue with HOW they died. If it was executed properly & with some thought, it would make sense but it doesn’t. This formula has been done a thousand times before, “Lets kill off this character & start a revenge path which leads to nowhere”. Expand

This story bases around a pointless conflict between abby and ellie and completely disregards that ellie still is immune to the disease that is causing people to get infected and become mutants. the way they introduce abby, the character you will be playing for around 8-10 hours is horrendous. They make you instantly hate her then force you to play her for the longest period.. The ending is beyond disappointing and it makes you feel like you accomplished nothing. this is one of the worst stories I've seen on a videogame and it feels like such a waste since the game had potential on it's graphics and those kind of elements. After Uncharted 4's poor writing and this garbage story I expect almost nothing out of Naughty Dog now. Expand

    It's literally just propaganda, brave new world crap. The game itself is about as average as the first, but the story is straight up propaganda. Very creepy game. Watch a lets play to see what kind of art you'll be getting in the next 20 years from this social justice book burning culture, or lack there of.

    For people who believe that the wave of negative criticism only comes from gender propaganda, it is false. In the first part, in fact, this type of things already happened in the DLC and there is nothing more to see the note that it has on this website.

    All this this comes from how they have trampled on the story of the first, its protagonist and everything that is sown in it, the characters feel humans and act as I or anyone else could do in the same situation in a world like there. And that makes it a masterpiece.

    Here the story is artificial, a series of meaningless things are planted, you get hidden gender propaganda that is not relevant to the end of the world (perhaps because they are problems of the 21st century, and not problems of a post-apocalyptic world) and that are not of interest to the player and are also not relevant to the resolution of the plot. And well, if we leave this in the background and go to the final resolution, it is directly embarrassing. Don't **** with me, the first game has a bittersweet ending, even more sour than sweet, but this ... with this you can't empathize, it's artificial, it's empty, there's no "us", it doesn't have the values ​​or the feelings from 'The Last of us'

    The first part is soo ****ing good because is a a "human" game. Here's an outstanding game in gameplay and technically, but only that. The rest is only on the giant shadow from what their first part was.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the first one with this I really have some issues
    Pro: good looking graphics, the world and characters look just awsome, some really gross moments (even for me as a video gamer verteran), still some hints of a good story design....
    Contra: .... which could have been good if they did it like in TLOU1 where you WERE Joel i mean they just nailed it in this part you were so invested in the charakters Ellie&Joel especially that you just wanted to get them through the story and survive and even at the end (I wont spoil) which was debatable I was very excited and happy/adrenaline fuelled. But the Story in TLOU2 oh man... i dont even know where to start so Ellie is mad at Joel for the end of the first one which for me is kinda fkn **** he just saved her life period. (Spoiler) Killing Joel in the second half is not too bad of an idea if they did it correct but it was just so underwealmingly bad written, even more after that you had to play his killer to see her side of the story i mean like come on thats the least thing i want to do i just want revenge. Even more of a thing that bothers me is the end which denies you as a player the revenge Ellie just decides like "nope I m not gonna avenge the person that was like a father to me" but killing everybody else on this journey to revenge was ok ? Jesus what a letdown. I really expected better writing of naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Putting all the Leaks aside, this game just didn't get up to the standard it should've provided after 7 years of waiting.

    The first game, made you fall in love with the synergy of Joel & Ellie, made you feel like these 2 characters cannot be seperated and are bonded together together in a post apocalyptical world.
    This game completely butchers it.

    There is no Character Love in this game.
    Im not even exaggerating with this review, the game just makes everyone lose who took the first The Last of Us as a baseline.

    Here a quick Summary :
    The Graphics are really astonishing
    The gameplay overall is not bad, but very repetitive.
    The Puzzles are sadly very ... boring, especially considering how much you can do with the enviroment in videogames nowadays.
    Despite many people claiming that the game is badly reviewed because of the Lesbian action going on with Ellie, i dont think this is an issue and never has been an issue in the first place.
    Every other TLOU game has pretty damn good reviews despite us all already knowing that Ellie is not Heterosexual.
    Abby kills your favorite Character in the Story, Joel pretty early on in the game, and then tries to sympathize you with her for an insane 10+ hours.
    Noone with the last braincell would say "yes, this is a good idea, lets kill the favorite character, and lets make us play her for half the games duration".
    There are also so many plotholes in this game, that it just gets so stale and boring after some time, unbearable.
    The simple actions Ellie takes in this game make no sense whatsoever either.

    Overall, the Storywriting in this game and the *very badly* designed and repetitive gameplay made this game a 2/10 for me personally.
    As much as i want to like this game, it behaves like an abusive Relationship.
    You *want* to like it, but it hurts you every single time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics are amazing, music (when it's there) is terrific, gameplay is great; but the story is soooo generic and uninteresting. And it has nothing to do with what most vocal people say about the SJW themes or characters, is just that the "boldness" they were trying to bring was straight up bad. Gameplay and story aren't connected, you spend the entire game killing, and only in the "key moments" do Ellie or Abby feel "regret" or pain. The game does not give the player a "choice" to kill or spare (knock out) an enemy; like in Death Stranding, where you CAN kill enemies but it has a penalty, so you try to avoid it. In THLOU2 you just kill and nothing bad happens. And at a point Abby even kills her own comrades, they say her name when she holds them, meaning they know her and she has a relationship with them, but she doesn't feel bad about killing any of them? Only at that key moment she feels "bad". Both Ellie feels bad for killing a pregnant woman, and Abby draws the "same line", but then what about all the other women they've killed? Any of them could've been with child, and neither would have known, but both killed them without remorse. And I kinda can get behind the decision to kill Joel. But to do so liked that, was weak and rushed. Also Ellie was a character that didn't wanted to have to face loss again and again, and she treasured good things in that horrible world, and she can get mad at Joel for his confession, but still she wouldn't have done what she did, lose everything just to win, I don't buy that. There's no character development for the characters that we love, there "some" character development for the new ones but it is so lazy and bare boned. Some side characters die so suddenly, that as a player you don't care, showing that nothing would've changed if they weren't in the game. The sex scene had no point to being there, it had no consequence, or cause. It's a shame what they decided to do woth the story, and the characters we loved from THLOU. The game has good things, but they are dragged down due to that poor story and lousy writting. Expand

It is what it is, but I can’t help but feel disappointment and grieve when it came to how all the events in the plot were laid out.

    While the game attempts to amaze you with it's beautiful graphics, the gameplay remains unevolved from the original. However the story, the main driving force behind this game is incredibly flawed and has thrown out the quality that the prequel had established. Original characters were handled in a disrespectful manner, and had their personalities altered to fit a narrative the developer tried to pursue and failed. The game is absolutely NOT fun. I recommend that you instead play the Last of Us Remastered and forget this game.

    The mainstream critics are so detached for reality it is not even funny. If you hate the game you are slandered as a hateful bigot and anytype of "phobe" or "ist". The actions that ND, Sony, and the critics have done will be felt in the industry for years.

    Don't worry, we the gaming community will remember and we will not forget.

    Delivers and convinces in terms of atmosphere, world, violence, exploration and attention to detail.

    Feels old and outdated in terms of gameplay, gunplay, AI and crafting.

    Feels strechted out in terms of game length. A major part before the end of the game that took me about 6hrs (maybe longer for others but at some point i just couldnt stand it anymore and rushed it) was a total chore to play and I didn't enjoy it at all.

    Completely screws every character from part 1 and introduces new characters everyone hates and cutscenes you just want to skip at some point. Everything left over from part 1 is destroyed/violated/abused in this part to push a new story "direction" that I honestly didn't like at all. It feels cheap, rushed, superficial and irrational. I hate everybody in this sequel, including (or especially) Ellie and how she reacts / what she decides to do. If you play this, prepare to be butthurt. A lot. The story is a complete catastrophe.

    Final verdict: Medicore at best, I enjoyed about half of it and the more I played, the more I wanted to quit and play something else. Also leaves a very bad aftertaste after the ending. 4/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 1 had a great story and I was super excited to play Part 2. This excitement turns out to be almost for nothing. The story is not at all what I was expecting, and has so many flaws and problems that it almost ruins the game.

    Now for the good. The visuals are outstanding. There is so much detail in the game that it looks like next-gen graphics. Also, the gameplay is very smooth and is almost cinematic-like which really brings the player into the game. I would like to see some different animations (especially when executing zombies) but that is almost nitpicking. Overall the artists did a great job and pretty much carried the game.

    Now for the bad (Spoiler alert)

    Killing Joel that soon into the game makes zero sense. Now saying that sure Joel probably should die at some point however after saving Abby it would be hard I think for a rational person to beat someone's head in after they saved your life, and brought you back to your group. I feel like it would have made sense if they made maybe another game before this one which the story was exclusively about Abby up to the point in which Joel killed her father. That way we have a direct motive. I feel that them trying to justify Abbys actions by explaining why she did it was useless especially when we had an entire game dedicated to Joel and Ellie the two characters that the fans fell in love with. This major flaw kind of spurred the rest of the game to just seem erratic and depressing (kind of like GOT season 8) .

    The reason why I gave the game such a low rating is because if I am reading the book. The book itself the binding, the pages, the ink, the cover, the artwork could be perfect. However, if the story in that book is bad it does not matter how good those other things are I am going to stop reading it. That is the best way I can describe why I rated this game so low.

    I hope that they decide that this game is not canon to the actual story because I would love to see a part 3. However, if they decide to keep this story as canon I'd rather not. Even if they decided to go back in time when Jole and Ellie were still together I think that it's too late now to do that since in the future the story just falls apart and the game makes no sense.

    Naughty Dog had a license to print money with part 1 and just tore it up in part 2.

    Overall the story tanked this game.

    The Last of Us II is a game that could split your fan base like never before. Although graphically good, it is undeniable that the present political activism throughout the game could ruin what was possibly one of the best sequels of the games industry

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh man, where to begin on this.

    Background, I am an avid lover of the first last of us, the story was amazing.

    However, there are a ton of significant issues related to this game

    Graphics: Graphically speaking this game is amazing it is one of the best produced games for the PS4 that I have ever seen. Grass flows realistically, areas look spacious, etc

    Sound Design: Again, no issue here, same as the first last of us, detailed and perfect. Sounds are realistic, everything from reactions from personnel and bullets wizzing overhead, death sounds, All incredibly detailed and realistic.

    Gameplay: The same as the last of us 1, only with the added prone position. Combat is improved, but nothing remarkable. Easily considered mediocre of all the things you can note.

    Story: The story is disjointed and hot garbage. At the midpoint in the story you have Ellie kill a pregnant woman which evidently affects her negatively despite killing hundreds of people before getting to that scene in graphic ways and using expletives. The game drags on, instead of ending at 15 ish hours or so. This could've been effectively two different games and the motivations dont seem convincing at all. You jump between flashbacks, and different characters

    Overall: People play the last of us for the story, everything else in the game (gameplay, sound design, and graphics) are intended to complement the story to make it more realistic. The story is an unconvincing, disjointed mess and is a poor representation of what the series could be. Skip it and buy something that remains true to characters and doesnt just write "surprises" into the game to generate views.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before we start, I would like to say that I am not a racist. And I don't have any hatred for LGBT people and I am, to some extent, tolerant. But in the game, there is just an incredible glut of tolerance. I didn't like the game. For at least half of the game, your girlfriend Dina (also terribly annoying) shows lesbian tendencies every twenty minutes and she makes a pass at you. This is incredibly infuriating. About the plot, too, everything is very so-so. Except for Joel's death, nothing really cool or exciting happened. The plot is based on revenge. You go, go, go to the final, then just get revenge. New characters, too, no, just uninteresting and all. Compared to what the characters were in the first part, these are not interesting. From the pros, only the graphics, atmosphere and cool semi-open world. The game is crap, for me personally. The first part is much better. As a stub in the form of the second part, received the same ratings as the first-a riddle. Maybe if the first part didn't exist, this part would be cool. But, when there is a masterpiece of the first part, it is, a stub for fans and a chic game for tolerant gays, lesbians. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In all my life of gaming I haven't dealt with such a cliche story with nonsense sprinkled in as a poor attempt to “subvert expectations.” In my mind, the great reviews from all of these companies have been bought out or were formed from sympathy over the leaks that obviously annoyed the community. I played through the game since midnight launch and the story was nowhere near the impact of the first game. There were shoehorns, forced representation that didn't fit the game, a nonsense death of Joel that was reminiscent of if a storm trooper just hunted down and killed Luke Skywalker at the start if the Empire Strikes Back for the destruction of the death star. Political correctness is a cancer that ruined this game along with bad writing and poor lore decisions that feels like a slap in the face to every fan of the original game. It’s hilarious that Naughty Dog was phenomenal with the Uncharted series from beginning to end but let their biggest title slip this hard. The only redeeming quality is some of the gameplay is pretty fun but even then its pretty bland and uninspired. Im deleting the game and never playing it again and I hope many people will read this and decide to not put themselves through the effort this game takes. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who is normally a fan of Naughty Dog games and of the original Last of Us, I feel this game is a slap in the face. If you enjoyed the first game because of the story, characters and relationships, this game is not for you. Due to some questionable story-line choices, the game feels like a slog to get through and tries to force its players into a middle school ethics class rather than engross us in an enthralling story. The graphics are some of the best this generation, but the game-play rarely features anything innovative and feels like more of the same as the first game. Overall, averaging everything out I would give this game a 5/10 and similar to Game of Thrones season 8 and Star Wars - Rise of Skywalker, this is one sequel that will sorely disappoint even its most loyal fans.

    Objectively its 6/10. Lovely graphics, visceral animations, haunting sound design. Gameplay is a bit outdated, but good enough. Story is the main problem... really poor writing. lt feels like a cheap fanfic. Joel's death is simply insane, playing as Abby was mentally exhausting i would've preferred to be able to skip that part (yep, lose 10 hours of the game willingly). Ending is simply nonsensical, you kill over 200 people and yet you do not finish the job? At least they could've given us a choice to kill or not kill that roided up monstrosity.
