    The terrible story ruins this technological masterpiece being perhaps the best looking game on the PS4. the games mechanics and background can only carry a story driven game so far. The character development is weak and the lack of empathy I felt for Abby is a clear sign of a bad character that the developers attempted to be relatable.

    Honestly i can't believe what they did with this game, history is trash, characters who came out of nowhere and i'm supposed to feel bad for them? This game is a joke. Ending try to teach us a lesson but they did in the most lazy and stupid way, i just can't, this game isn't canon to me. Graphics aren't everything.

Endangering their lives and getting him killed. Abby is a mess, no one likes her. And tlou2 to many minds never exists. In the ending you are forced to swallow another **** pill, and that's not killing Abby. After she bites off Ellies fingers, and bashed the characters we loved from the first one.. why are we not satisfied with the ending? Because you are forced to watch the pig roam free after all the **** she did. And using her to fight Ellie was painful. Tbh I enjoyed having ellie killing her over and over. Bottom line, this game spits on tlou1. It does exist just a dark fantasy of druckman. 1/10… Expand

    This game is technically competent but a narrative disaster. It was clear from the first trailer that the game was so impressed with itself for taking the loved character from the first game of Ellie and making her gay. This destroys every character or memory from the first game and should be avoided at all costs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Metacritic won't allow you to rate this game anything below 8 or you can not post a review.
    I have no problem with gameplay, graphics, gay love or anything for that matter. My issue is the story. While Ellie shows remorse, guilt and anxiety by the things she does for revenge her counterpart Abby shows not one shred of empathy, remorse, guilt or anxiety by the things she does to get revenge. She enjoys them. The game trying to convince the audience that we should feel bad about abby doesn't deliver. The parts with abby are annoying. Time consuming and the fact we as player can not kill abby is a mistake i won't forgive. Joel had the same reason to save Ellie as Abby has to save Lev. The player does not feel empathy for Abby and the game fails to try to convince its audience to feel anything but hate and annoyance towards the character that is abby.

    No Sane person would forgive or forget the murder of their own father or mother. Yet this game wants you to do exactly that. Joel is a surrogate father to ellie as ellie is a surrogate daughter to joel. Killing Joel off is not a problem in terms of story even the way portrayed. But the fact the game forces you to sympathize and forgive abby for what she has done is not going to work for intelligent people.
    For dumb people yes, they forgive and forget quite easy. As they can’t even remember the entire story if you ask them after they played it and miss a lot of flaws and plot holes because they do not care nor pay that much attention.

    But if you are an intelligent and sane person you instantly see the flaws and double standards in this story for the two main characters. And how Abby’s own action lead to her demise with the WLF and how her own actions drive everyone away from her. If Ellie and Tommy never showed up, she still would end up with Lev on that Island not knowing what to do other then going to the Aquarium and visit Owen.
    But if Ellie and Tommy never showed up Nora and Manuel would know where that Aquarium is and hunt them down together with the remains of the WLF! Yes that’s a given.
    Other games and movies show this struggle between Rvenge and forgiveness way better. To mind come the walking Dead by Telltale (first season) and the Rockstar Masterpieces called Red Dead Redemption and RDR2.
    As it stands now this game tries to be a story about how revenge is a bad thing that will cost you anything but its depiction only shows that Ellie is the one losing everything while abby walks free and gotten her revenge and now lives by the same rule saving an innocent child against the chaos of this post-apocalyptic world as joel did with ellie.
    So, in short Abby gets to kill joel by literally bashing his head in with a golf club and then goes on to do the exactly same stuff joel did in part 1. The hypocrisy of this story is beyond believe but while abby walks away ellie gets left behind with 2 fingers missing, her sanity destroyed, no longer having the ability to play guitar, lost her relation with dina and her baby. Lost jessie. Lost joel. Lost the friendship with Tommy.
    And for people claiming Abby loses a lot too. I say this. If we assume Ellie and Tommy do not show up.
    Abby would still lose Mel, Nora and Manuel’s support the moment she helped Yara and Lev escape which leads to the death of Yara and Isaac. As Manuel explained to Mel it is ok to shoot scar kids if it helps the WLF. Nora already helped Abby escape but tells her she would bail the moment she got caught again. And Mel wanted to leave with Owen but only if he leaves Abby behind. Since Owen didn’t want to do that Mel leaves Owen when Ellie shows up. Owen would therefore the only one coming to the island to save Abby.

    Or in short. Only Owen would still support Abby. Mel hates Abby from the deepest part of her heart and Nora and Manuel would stay with the WLF hunting Abby for the murder of Isaac and protecting a Scar Child.
    That’s the way to go and spit in Joels and Abbys face while you put Abby and Lev on a pedestal. The hypocrisy in this game is stunningly high.

    Naughty Dog has died as a company for me since 1998 me supporting them. And I won’t be the only one thinking that way after this game.    … Expand

    The game is great from a technological standpoint. HOWEVER the story is utter bs. You got 7 years to build a nice story and expand the story of joel and ellie but instead decide to spend effort to build nice rope physics?!

    Disquasting game. They are creating imaginary enemies while trying to push political agenda into the faces of the fans. You failed, Naughty Dog! Sure, you think you proved something, but no cares about your message. I care about story.

    how naughty dog abusing their power to copyright strike against critism, weirdly 10/10 score from mainstream game reviewer. and how some of their employer assuming bad review as bots really a big turn off to me to try to give it decent score.

    overall, it's kinda shame how once a big amusing games turn out to be mediocre in the sequel. totally out of fans's expectation. for a game that prioritize in stories, the story kinda lacking. still might be fun to play though if player just ignore the story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a game developer I'm impressed with the environment graphics, character graphics, and character animation. I'd call it a masterpiece and give it a 10/10 on that side. Unfortunately, the game story lets the game down. This game is a testament to Woke. I had to skip several cut-scenes since I personally don't want their agenda thrust onto me, and by the end of the game I really didn't care that much and just wanted the thing to end. I was not in favour of some of the more violent scenes so I skipped them too. I think the company would have done a great job if they had stayed away from the woke agenda which would mean the critics would slated the game as they have all bought into woke. Gamers would most likely rate it highly then. Aside from the woke agenda, the way the story was presented wasn't that bad, as I enjoyed playing as different characters, but wished they had offered the player choices that would have shaped the story, instead of forcing them down a linear path of revenge. It was cool though to play the story from opposing main characters and see how they both ended up in the same place. The revenge plot did spoil the story though, and was another reason why I just didn't care when I got towards the end of the game.
    So summary is: great graphics, and animation, poor story and choc full of woke agenda, and sadly the story is such a let down, I can't give the game more than 3/10.    … Expand

We loved the last of us so much because of Joel And the amazing relationship he had with Ellie. And they took that away from us. A badass caring father figure like Joel taken away so fast. They did not respect his character and did him dirty. Also the game seems quite slow. A lot of walking and more of a movie than a game so far.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the beggining i have to say im coming from perspective of a tlou fan. First game at the time was excelent. There were some mediocre things gameplay wise but overall as a sotry driven game it was one of the best at the time and i think its still holds up very well. Why did I mention all of this? Well i think for a triple A titlle, for such a household name as naughty dog this game is a disgrace and here is why. Keep in mind this game was in development for 7 years. Lets start with gameplay. Obviously its better than the first tlou but we have to expect this with such a long time of development but still the game is too repetetive in the end you are doing basiclly the same thing over and over. There's no variety. Weapons are pretty much the same as in the first game. Game mechanics were expanded a bit but it just feels like the reeskin of the first game. Obviusly the graphics are great there sonthing bad i can say about that. Lastly the story. This story is just inexplicable. This story is just based around the fact that Abby was super lucky and dumb at the same time and somehow found Joel and then him and Tommy just had a stroke or something and forgot what world they live in and went to a camp of total strangers and acted irrationaly. There is NO single explenation for this other than that it's a bad story writing. Story is not in order which on its own it wouldnt be so bad but they did such a bad job with it is just unbelivable however approved it is a profesionall. This is a problem because they want to paint Abby as Elliev2 nut it just doesnt work because they firstlly killed of Joel in stupid way and then when we were in the END decided to let you play her?!!?? XDDD. Lastly there is a lot of manipulation i cant pass indifferently. Abby plays with dogs/Ellie kills them, Abby rescues children/Ellie kills pregnant woman. In conclusion as for triple a title for Naughty Dog and for a second instalment to this story this game is trash simply because it was made lazy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely terrible, boring and lazy plot, betraying all the characters we have come to know in TLOU previously. You will see all the online critics excuse the low user score as reviews bombing by haters and that people who reviewed this have very few hours into the gameplay so their opinion does not matter. No, I don't need to sit through the entire 3 hrs of Batman v Superman to feel that the movie is boring and pointless. The plot of this game makes characters act completely out of character like Joel who were always overly cautious and suspicious of others suddenly declare his infamous name in front of a bunch of militia; or Ellie who has zero internal struggle in morality when it comes to killing off dozens of people who merely associated to Abby who murdered Joel, but when it comes to the actual perpetrator of the crime, Abby, somehow Ellie feels conflicted, despite Abby even bit off two fingers of hers and render her no longer able to play guitar. Well-written and complex characters that we have grown to love from the first game is killed off for cheap shock value. I never disagree that Joel should die. But his death should complete his arc and requires more buildup. Anyone can spend 5mins and think of a better story buildup than this unprofessional writing.

    Besides, while you can claim the review score is biased from the review bombing from haters, you can very well say the same for the online critics who are used as a marketing tool for the industry. Therefore for me it sounds like a convenient excuse for the overwhelming negative reviews. By passing off negative comments as "haters" and "bigots" for reasons against LGBT, you never have to address how bad this game truly is.

    What a waste of my time this game has been. I can't believe I actually waited nearly 7 years for this piece of trash. I actually hate myself for playing and completing this game, even ruining the replayability for the first game for me since now I know how trash the ending is. But what do I know right? I am just a cis male with a fragile masculinity who obviously hate the game for the fact that Ellie is a lesbian and Abby looks like a dude with only 3 days in after the game is released, so my opinion doesn't matter.    … Expand

    If someone wrote this little bit different and without prominent political agenda, this game could be 9/10.

Obviously is not fun to play, actually most miserable game I've experienced ever. First off, I don't care about lgbtq, it doesn't matter to me, I absolutely don't care. What matters to me is how out of characters are in this game. How disrespectful it is to kill off Joel in the way they did. He deserved much better than this. Again, not disappointed of because he dies, it's how he died. Joel died without purpose, like a piece of garbage, like he meant nothing, by a new character who he saved multiple times before getting tortured by her. Abby, who brutally tortured and killed most beloved character in franchise, showing no remorse of taking her revenge was put in game to force players to sympathize with. FOR WHAT PURPOSE?? for what reason why we needed all of this, to care for her? It's disgusting having to play as Abby to cause even more pain for Ellie. So at this point, the game focuses on revenge. So how does Abby, who got her revenge get everything she wanted in the end, she suffers nothing from damage she caused to Ellie, she learned NOTHING. While a person who let go of revenge loses EVERYTHING.. and continue to suffer.. what is the message in that??? This story is a pile of dog ****… Expand

This game has a lot of good ( graphic arts, setting, characters, morality about violence, and much more) but SPOILERS - Abby, are you seriously?! This characters very stupid. Yes Joel killed her father, but a lot of time has passed, and Joel saved her life. Why didn’t she think for a second that maybe this is not such a bad person?! Maybe you should at least ask: Joel, b*tch! Why did you kill my father? Ok she killed him. And you seriously think that after that someone will want to play this character 40% of the whole game?! In the second act, I already had to force myself to play! And I think people like me a lot! And even after all this, I gave the game a chance because I love these characters (Ally). When the farm appeared, I already hoped that there would be such an ambiguous ending where Eli had to let Joel’s killer go for the benefit of those close to her, since violence only gives rise to more violence. But no ! And this was not enough for you, you ruined everything. As a result, Ellie still lets go of the enemy but loses two fingers, Dean and baby JJ. Where did she go? In Jackson, is Dina there, or where is she? I have many questions and no answers! Naughty dog, please, I beg you, listen to the players and draw the right conclusions! Make some kind of appeal to us players, at least with answers to the questions that, as a result of Ellie, she remains alone or will go look for Dina.

    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.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
