    The first game feels like a movie wrapped up with flesh and blood in a poetic way. This sequel is just pure flesh and blood that makes me wanna throw up.

    The gameplays feels clunky, as if the designers did not play test before releasing this next installment. It’s a shame that the enemies were not further developed, because the gameplay often feels repetitive.

    Stop buying this game folks, especially for those who have played the first TLOU, because Neil Druckmann is gonna tear your heart apart and stamp on it. Also, TLOU2 just gave us a perfect example of how political correctness destroyed a perfect series.

It's like a horrible Interactive movie where the gameplay it's just grab objects, it's decepcionant how they kill Joel in the first hour it is very forced just for wanting to make Ellie the protagonist only to advertise with feminism and the empowered woman who does it very badly since it shows that she is very forced and there are several games that have tried to do this and if they do because they did it in a justified way and not as forced as they did here… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't be mislead by the fake reviews or ones done by players that have only played 2-4 hours of the game before reviewing. 50% of the game is played with a different character that we know nothing about. Which might deter some players as it would've deterred me had I not fallen to the same fate.

    Gameplay 6/10
    Graphics 9/10
    Music/audio 9/10
    Character design 3/10
    Cinematics & Dialogue 9/10
    Story 1/10
    Overall (Since it's mostly a story focused game) 3/10

    -- Characters were bland and easily forgotten; they had no impact in their roles and were simply supportive characters to make the player feel less alone, they served no big purpose in the story
    and they felt as though they were added only to kill off, which could've worked if they bothered making them matter more to the player, e.g. (Sam & henry in The Last of Us).
    -- Story fell short due to having many plot-holes: (Big spoilers):

    - Multiple flashbacks felt unfitting and randomized at times, which took the player outside the immersive experience one should experience
    - Joel's death felt forced to illicit a poor shock experience which could've been executed better
    (Either added value by learning more about Abby beforehand, or delayed further into the game)
    - Playing as Abby after a cliffhanger scene made the experience unenjoyable and most players agreed that her role took a very long part in the full game, fixing the issue could've been resolved with her role being played in future DLC or simply shortening her gameplay time. This resulted in mass outrage and fans were not happy with good reason. It's simply not fun to play as the antagonist that killed the previous loved main character in such a gruesome way, and finding any way to empathize with her was gone after her deed.
    - The ending is a cliche; revenge is bad, which is okay if it wasn't contradictory to itself. Abby left undeserving of mercy where Ellie lost everything dear to her without compensation. It's realistic but unsatisfying. A good story can be shocking, sad, and emotional without destroying what everyone loves, and it's unfortunate that Neil could not understand this point.    … Expand

First and foremost, the gameplay, flashback sections, and graphics are what singlehandedly saves this game from what is the worst **** story ever written in all existence and why I'm giving this game a 4 instead of a 0. Remember that LOU2 panel awhile back where neil said, "We wanted to honor these characters so just trust us, we're gonna do right by you"? Remember that? kill one of our favorite main characters in the first 2 hours in the most retarded out of character way possible by the most unlikable character ever, spend the entire game as a hollow burned out ellie killing everybody around her but right when the player finally gets to kill the one who we, the players, really wanna kill, we decide to just let her live instead....... oh yeah..... and we spend damn near the whole 2nd part of the game as this **** who killed our favorite MC as the game tries to get us to sYmPaTHiZe with this **** cuz sHe'S gOt fEeLiNgS tOo and vEnGeAnCe LeAdS 2 mORe vEnGeaNcE mAnNn. so ellie lets her go and she gets away with neil and anita's new bargain bin ellie while our ellie goes home to find everyone she ever cared about gone and now she's broken, empty, and alone with a mangled hand and can no longer play guitar.....................right.................

    Good graphics, great music, horrible story(and no it's not BOLD it just sucks), and boring game-play.
    this game had so much potential but naughty dog decided to allow an SJW to write the script and it's blatantly obvious, and the developers were just lazy, improving on nothing but graphics.
    do not buy this game. just watch someone else play it, your day will still be ruined for less money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I bought the game despite all the leaks, despite how bad it looked. I wanted to love this game, and I wanted it to be even better then the original. There are plenty of people who are upset about Ellie being LGBT+ and other stupid complaints, but I'm not here to complain about that. I open the game expecting to be in love with the characters and story, just like the original, but not only did I not even get out of the first cutscene without the game glitching out and soft locking, the combat tutorials were just plain bad, with the introduction of dodging and the combat nerf being annoying mechanics for both me, who played the original recently enough to be familiar with the gameplay, but for my brother who hasn't played it in years. The dodge mechanic just flat out sucks, it doesn't work often, makes combat extremely repetitive, and with the combat speed of all the zombies in the game, you can never not use it for melee fights. The writing is something I'd expect from a 12 year old girl who just got off a binge of those awful Netflix movies, the 365 Days type, where the writing is bad, but it's "mature" enough to make them feel older then they are. The game opens with about 20 minutes of teen drama and sex, something straight out of high school movies, and then the first part closes out with Joel being killed by some girl that is just flat out annoying, in a way that makes no sense for his character, and very early. It makes the plot feel rushed and it genuinely ruins the game from the start. The game doesn't get better from here. This honestly plays out like a bad fan fiction, and the worst part is I know NaughtyDog won't address it, remake it, or make a better third game to fix this dumpster fire of a sequel. So now what I and many others consider one of the best games in video game history, it essentially ruins the original game and the entire franchise as it is now. I'm honestly disappointed in the studio for this massive oversight on garbage writing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is not the most action packed of its peers, so it NEEDED an amazing Story. Graphics are Nothing next to Gameplay and Story. Since the Gameplay is lacking, the Story really needed to be phenomenal. (Like the first game). Instead we are left with a character you dont sympathize with, and the idea that the characters you love are the bad guys. It tried to hard to be deep, subversive, and Edgy. It doesn't have to be sunshine and Roses, but the game tries so hard to be M-Rared that it sacrifices story. They bring in cute dogs to have a fan favorite brutally slaughter it, they kill off a main character like hes nothing, they beat Joel ti death for a reason to broad to mean anything, and completely undermine the theme presented in the game. If a the main idea is that, revenge cycles never end, then you should stick to that idea and have revenge cycles not end. Then the character you hate has several flash backs that turns mediocre idea, into an obvious shoe in. If she really was planned, then she should have appeared at the hospital, if she is this christ figure the game makes her out to be, then why dont I care for her? I see many people saying Criticizing the game makes you a bigot. Let me just say, the representation in this game is great, and doesnt effect the game in any way. It's not treated as a big deal, which is good, it makes it seem like what it its, a normal thing, not some HUGE deal. I like that, but the way the game ends is just depressing, it's edgy for no reason. It hands you this **** idea, that you are a bad person, who deserves a **** life, even though you didnt make the decisions. It's like telltale punishing you but in a game where the decisions are pre-made. In the end, the game seems pointless, there to send a message that is empty. It's not depressing, its not deep, it's just a waste of resources and money. The idea employees were abused is already bad enough, but now their work is being **** on by a horrible story? Pathetic. The game is full of unnecessary Sex, and violence, but lacks the bloodlust when you wanna see it. They'll show a murderered dog, bleeding and whimpering, they'll show Joel getting his head smashed, Ellie losing a thumb, Dina being brutalized, Jessie being shot, Tommy losing an eye, but wont let us watch Ellie Kill Abby's Crew in detail, or even let us kill Abby in the end. I dont care about Abby, and that's not anyone's fault but the story. She's poorly written, and since she quickly kills a fan favorite, its laughable that they think well grow to like her. Imagine being forced to kill people as hitler, then getting called a bot or bigot for not enjoying the character. It's also extremely funny how they try to make us feel bad for Abby's (Forgettable) crew, but everytime one was killed I giggled and felt good, was I not supposed to enjoy that? Cause I really did! Tommy sniping that guy was AWESOME. It was amazing to see! Then the end has Abby suddenly worse for wear, in a christ like position, that's when I lost it. I dont CARE that she got hurt. We spent all that time with her and all i could think was "hehehe Nice". She is a ****ty protagonist and a ****ty antagonist, the last of us was built on the father daughter relationship, it is a mistake to remove that component. It can work, but I doubted it would. The revenge story is only made worse by the laughable ending. Abby is let go, Ellie is single and cant even play guitar. Its edgy for people who dont like being edgy, its deep for people who have only ever stood in puddles, it's a story for people who have only read Alphabet books. It would be one thing to be unsatisfactory, but the lack of understanding its fans, and message, is another thing. Dont expect me to feel bad, don't expect compassion for a character we never cared about! Abby is very Similar to negan from the walking dead, there are 3 VERY different things they do that make him so loveable, 1.)Negan makes up for his actions, 2.) He does get punished in prison and a slit throat, 3.) They dont expect you to love him at all, the fans CHOSE TO after he was fleshed out, after he killed a side character; and after his intentions were made clear. He did it to neutralize a threat, Abby did it cause she was mad, and she gets away with it. Thank GOD I borrowed the game, it is a mess that (much like the star war sequels) focuses too much on being shocking. If you watch all the cut scenes at 2x speed and never think of it again? 10/10 game But the second you start to put any thought into the story, it all comes undone, 7 years of painstaking work wasted on some game with an identity crisis, you turned the last of us into a teen novel, the same type you mocked in the 1st game. When Van Gogh started, he painted the hands of the peasants, he took a risk to make his art, he took time to think of the theme to present, the last of us tried to think, but stumbled and fell so hard on its face it ruins the franchise as a whole. Summary:**** happened I guess… Expand

First ND bait and switch you into thinking Joel was gonna stick around the game only to kill him off in the first 2 hours by a nobody who's life he just saved. Not only did Joel and Tommy act like **** idiots, they don't even think that the strangers have ill intent. The **** was all that about not trusting people in the first game, then? Then Ellie. They turned her from a witty and likeable character into a sociopathic piece of **** killing and torturing anyone she can only to not kill Abby in the end because of a bull**** flashback. The only reason I'm not giving this **** show a 0 is because the gameplay is good. Not groundbreaking or original but good and satisfying.… Expand

    They should've known better than to do such a thing to a masterpiece like the world that was built before this installment. Highly disappointed, will be telling everyone who will listen not to bother if they appreciate quality writing in their games

    I was reading the user reviews for this game and they just made me so sad, to the point where I had to make this review.

I read hundreds of stupid comments such as, "I think that most of the hate is coming from the fact that Ellie is gay", "You guys are hating on this game purely because they killed Joel." and "I saw many critics on the second main character Abby, which is totally a fully reveal of the hatred against those women who have a body image which doesn’t fit the Standard norm...." I believe that if you enjoyed the game, good for you, I really wanted to enjoy it, but some story decisions presented here made that impossible. I want to first get it out of the way that from a technical aspect, this is a masterpiece. I mean the graphics, sound design, level design, and score. Now let's talk about the gameplay. I am very mixed on this. The gameplay on The Last of Us II is nothing revolutionary and barely does enough to differentiate itself from the first game, but the gameplay is almost always enjoyable and entertaining, only sometimes getting repetitive. Now the real divider, the story. I do not think killing Joel is necessarily a bad decision. As a lot have pointed out, it makes the world feel believable. But in the way that the game actually played out, Joel's death sucked all the life out of the game. The really bad: We should not have to play as Abby. I think Naughty Dog just though like, Joel killed Abby's father, so the players will connect to her, right. Wrong. Of course, Joel has done immoral things in the past, but these things are part of his character, and we love his character either way. The fallout of his death also caused one of the worst character decisions in the game, Ellie. Ellie is now a shell of her former self, she has no character and just kills the whole game. I just think that the premise of a revenge plot is not a strong pull for a game because the only way it can end is Ellie killing Abby. If not, then the whole plot will feel like it was for nothing, this was what happened. If Ellie had actually killed Abby, that would have been a bit better but it would have felt like Ellie had not learned anything and her character would have developed nothing from the start of the game. The side characters are kind of useless and add nothing to the story. I think that for The Last of Us II to have been a good game, the writers should have thought of another hook for the game. I think that most of the people are tricked into liking this, thinking it is a deep, dark and depressing game. Those things don't make a good game, a edgy game isn't necessarily a good one. Interesting and dynamic characters make a good game. I'm not the biggest fanboy of the first Last of Us, I don't hate this game because Ellie is gay or some idiot things people might say, I didn't have fanfiction that this game didn't live up to, I wanted a game that respected while still changing and growing the characters in ways that feel believable and true to the first game, sadly, The Last of Us II fails at every fundamental aspect of storytelling and while its presentation and tone is stunning, I cannot bring myself to give a high score to a game that didn't give me a reason to invest with the characters and story.… Expand

Decisions like Joel's death, the introduction and focus on a brand new character (Abby) with very little backstory and depth and the many obvious politically influenced implementations all result into what might be my least favourite game of ALL TIME...and i have some very low standards.
    #GodBlessTheLeaker
    All the Negatives(+some extra)
    -Repetitive gameplay
    -Typical Revenge story
    -''Brand new combat'' consists of dodge, throw and strike
    -The game is a lot more linear the the first
    -The stealthy approach in any situation is undertaken by the fact that you can clear a wave of 20 enemies by shoot an' run.
    -The antagonist is an underdeveloped character with a strong motive, but that is just it...there is nothing else about her.
    -Sonic Level Fanfiction writing
    -Zombie encounters are none existent
    -Story Telling plot holes
    -The game spits at you AND Joel's face

    Positive Points (+some extra)
    -Eye Candy
    -Beautiful Music
    -Flashback set pieces are enjoyable

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll start by saying that from a technical standpoint what they've managed to squeeze out of 7 year old hardware is phenomenal. The soundtrack and the fluidity of the games animations and character movement are top shelf also, however sadly for me this is where it ends.

    The story is incredibly poorly written and the ending made me question the whole point of it, and not in a good way. The treatment of some of the legacy characters is infuriating because of how they act completely differently from the first game. Joel and Tommy seem to have suffered from the worst case of amnesia recorded in human history and this is completely out of character and makes zero sense as they would never act the way they did in that certain scenario. Some of the dialogue used in game made me roll my eyes in disbelief ("Bigot sandwiches" and "Brainless brother duo") as its just bad and ultimately cringe-worthy.

    The newly added jump button is implemented badly and seems to be there as a filler but the combat has improved from the first one and the newly added vertical scenarios make some combat situations interesting. Crafting is identical to its predecessor with the addition of a silencer that can help greatly during battle although the bow is still the stealth weapon of choice.

    Sadly though in my opinion this game pales in comparison to its predecessor for its storytelling and character development and that's a damn shame. I really can't recommend this game for anything other than its visuals and audio but as we all know it takes more than a pretty paint job and a nice song to impress some people, myself included.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I copied this review from a user named Jeremy Maillet who commented on google review because I agree with all his points and have the same opinion. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

    The positive reviewers like to act like they are making good points when arguing why Joel was meant to die. No one disagrees Joel deserved to die, he was never established as a morally good character and he made a selfish decision which condemned the human race. No one is angry Joel died we are angry about how he died. My take on this would be much different if we were introduced to Abby long before she brutally murders Joel. They set them self up with an insurmountable task of creating empathy for Abby. And they didn't even try, we got a ten minute scene where she saves a Zebra with her father then they reveal Abby is the person who convinced them Ellie should be murdered to save humanity. If the writers are trying to make the player empathize with Abby why would they establish her as the one who condemned Ellie which inevitably led to Joel killing her father?

    Later on in the story we are introduced to Lev who saves Abbys life. This prompts Abby to betray the wolves to save Lev. This decision of Abbys feels like a fruitless attempt by the writers to establish Abby as a morally good character in order to gain empathy from the audience. They're trying to define Abby as selfless contrary to her making numerous selfish decisions. It's hard to say anything for certain about Abby's character because every other decision is conflicting. One moment she is selfless the next she is selfish. When it comes to condemning Ellie her morals are for the good of the many but when it comes to saving Lev her morals are for the good of the few. She gets very angry when she finds out Ellie has killed her friends yet she's already betrayed these friends and was prepared to leave these friends behind to help Lev.

    The story overall is nonsensical and revolves around and characters literally abandoning and losing everything in a fruitless quest for revenge. Both Abby and Ellie quite literally sacrificed everything over avenging the deaths of two people in a world where everyone has lost someone. Death and violence is around almost every corner of this world. Yet for whatever reason these two people are so special our characters travel thousands of miles killing hundreds to enact their revenge. Even after watching the bond which is formed between Joel and Ellie in the first game I have a hard time believing that Joel's death was enough to bring on this murderous rampage. Especially after Joel and Ellie’s rough relationship has been established.

    This world isn't the same world we were put into in the first game. There is no hope in this world, there is only violence and sadness. The violence is so over the top that by the end of the game I was completely numb to it all. The game heavily relies on shock value that was brought about through overly violent and grotesque actions perpetrated towards beloved characters which was so overly used it left me feeling nothing when the game came to it's final conclusion and this mattered the most. At no point were we given any sort of relief or loving character development which gave us respite from the sadness and violence of this world previously. In the first game Ellie provided 90% of this relief from the awful world we were witnessing. But she is now a shadow of her former self, despite spending her years safe and sheltered in a settlement with electricity she has completely lost the spark we saw in the first game. The conclusion of the game is hollow, hundreds die in this needless revenge plot and one singular person being saved who the player has established no empathy for is supposed to bring meaning to all the meaningless violence.    … Expand
