    Such great potential, wasted for a bad story. This game is disrespectful to the fans of TLOU and the franchise. They could have made an incredible game if they considered what the fans would enjoy but instead it seems that the writers just wanted to be edgy and political. I hope naughty dog doesn't make this mistake again or it will ruin them.

En donde este juego me parte el alama, y parece que esta hecho PARA CABREAR a los fans, es en su guion, su narrativa y las drasticas decisiones adoptadas. Hay gente que lo justifican diciendo que son decisiones valientes, y es cierto, son valientes, pero no puedes adoptar decisiones que nadie quiere, y que cabrean al jugador. No puedo recomendar esta segunda parte al que le haya gustado la primera, es imcompatible. La mayor decepcion de la decada para mi. Expand

    Ruined what the first game had going. Characters are dry and 2 dimensional. Joel died to early like they were just trying to get rid of him for plot convenience if you could call that a plot. I'm just gonna pretend ellie was sacrificed for the cure in the first game and that be the end of it.

    No improvement of the controls well atleast any noticable ones returning characters seem to poor imitations of their original counterparts many new character dont give much impact and the story which is the most important part to work on in a last of us game was unfulfilling and to be honest the fact the make you play as a character your gonna hate is bad planning after you already hate them

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. False advertising they showed older joel and ellie but in the game the scenes are flashbacks with young joel and ellie so that annoyed me, they really did us like how abby did joel.

    Abby was the worsr part of the game mainly due to not being likable because well she killed joel... To top it all off they force you to beat up ellie as Abby... Why? Who thought that waa a smart move,who thought playig as abby was a good idea..

    The ending waa a disgrace abby gets to have her revenge get a new best friend and to top it all off has a lead to a group who can help her.

    Meanwhile Ellie gets nothing and loses everything.

    Now onto the review.

    Gamplay is a solid 5/10

    Graphics is a 10/10

    Story was a 3/10

    Ending 2/10

    Overall a 3/10

    A flawed game,the last of us really was more like the worst for us.

The writers had to completely change the personality of many characters to fit the narrative instead of having the narrative fit the characters as something that would naturally progress if the characters had not been so massively changed. And the problem with Abby specifically is that the game setup the shock moment before the humanized moments so we as players could not be invested in her when it came time to tell her story. Expand

The characters are completely unlikable and don't feel like the same people from the first game. The whole plot is so convoluted and doesn't flow well togethor. You'd think with all the time Naughty Dog spent on the game, they would have made this even better than the first one. Overall gameplay and mechanics are slightly updated versions of the first game. In all honesty, I believe Naughty Dog should completely redo the game in order to please diehard fans like myself. The things done in this game are just disgusting and a disgrace to the first game. For that I can only give this game a 3/10. Expand

In the stroy it keeps telling us why we should not kill, but in the story you legit kill hell lot of people. That's very different from the story and does not make any sence. At the time went users reach the ending, users will realize that the entire story was very unfair to Ellie since she last her family, many of her friends are dead or hurt, her relations to them are broken. But if you see Abby, she got everything. She has a home and friends to go bacl she got a boyfriend, and everything else. Don't you think that Naughty Dog was forcing on PC too much that they have forgotten to respact the part 1 characters? Don't you see that Naughty Dog has turn their faces from us and become as a another slave of a PC? I think this is the worst choice that Naughty Dog have ever made.Beside to the story, the Naughty Dog was not showing the best performance that they could do and the moves that were showed on trailers were not abke to do them. To acutally do those cool moves showed on trailers, you would be wasting your ammos and you will not be able to play the game efficiently. This is my review. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello and good morning from where I am, I wanted to post this review starting with the fact that I would give this a 5-7 in the ratings but due to reasons I will soon talk about you will see why.

    Firstly I would like to say this game is not bad visually, it is an extremely beautiful game and one of the most graphically splendid games in the last/current decade however the mechanics are not as they could be, assuming that the assumptions that Naughty Dog pushes their employees to the brink of insanity are true it is understandable but where it lacks in refinery it offers an excess in accessibility truly making it so that anyone who is anyone can finish the game which is good on their part.

    Now the issues.
    Let me let out a disclaimer first, I have not played TLOU part 2 nor will I play.
    The reason why my review is so low is because of the story, the build up and the way the media are handling it. Firstly the story is horrendous, I've seen better writing in shows like Eromanga Sensei (shameless plug) anyway so the story is bad, starting from the way Joel and Tommy where acting in the beginning, they were acting like they only been surviving for a few days which as we all know is a lie, Joel of all people would know better after all in the first game he was untrusting and over cautious, to the point where he could anticipate an ambush for him to go and die in such an obvious ambush is insulting. Then it gets worse, Joel death was not necessary but it was expected but they did not make it worth it because Elly goes through the game killing over hundreds of people but spares Abby because of reasons not explained, she had a flash-back of Joel and stopped. Why?! The game won't tell you, Neil won't tell you and the media won't tell you because there is no reason why except to get you to come back and buy the next game. If this were truly a story of the cycle of violence Abbey should have died in that moment and got her due reward for killing Elly's father figure, ruining her relationship, biting her fingers off and basically ruining her life.

    Aside from the story we get Sony and Naughty Dog's blatant abuse of the copyright system and throwing out DMCAs to everyone who dared to even look at TLOU 2 leaks/memes the wrong way. I understand that you would want to keep these things uptight so you could make more money as a company but to abuse a system so much without consequence just because they talked about it is not okay and it will never be okay no matter what universe your in Naughty Dog and Sony will always be in the wrong in this situation. To add to the fire is Sony's double standard with censorship, so let me get this straight a 3-D fully acted scene in a game by a Sony exclusive is brilliant but a tiny bit of cleavage needs to be scrubbed from the face of the planet, that is not a good business practice, actually to be honest it isn't actually one or the other for this one anyway it isn't right what they are doing and should reevaluate their censorship rules.

    Finally the media the media has decided to collectively group all the haters together and put a label on them like, their transphobic, homophobic, perfectgamephobic or bots there all bots, instead of reporting the actual issues like the DMCAs, false advertising, etc. they want to paint any failure on us bigots for not supporting the game, as a journalist they need to cover theses stories with divinity and grace, refraining from pushing the narrative for their own gains and the defeat and deflation on the opposing side.

    That is why I must give it one. If you SJW, feminist **** people wanna kill me here's my twitter @LambdaOf_Chaldea try all you like to beat me down but you won't stop the truth from coming up and Metacritic if you delete this review you are admitting your helping Naughty Dog and you have your own terrible agenda to achieve by keeping them happy. I thank you for your time.

    People think this game is being brigaded because it's getting a tonne of 0 out of 10 scores, but a 0 out of 10 is legitimately the appropriate ranking for this game. I mean what did they think Last of Us is? What do you think made the first one amazing? The graphics? The zombie theme? The gameplay? They certainly helped but no, it wasn't any of that. It was Ellie and Joel's relationship that made that game good, and this game just left that very thing in the dust in the first two hours of the game.

    So I'm sorry, it doesn't matter how good the animation is, how good the graphics are, how cleaned up the gameplay is. The story itself destroys this game. It doesn't just fail to add anything to the game, it completely detracts from it, erasing any good points the technical aspects granted this game. It deserves every 0/10 it gets.

    Story isn’t compelling for most of the time. Bad decisions were made by all protagonists. Gameplay meh, very similar to the first part not really new mechanics that get you excited and deepens out anything in the game. Graphics are pretty good but it’s still PlayStation 30fps so that could never be a 10 out of 10. For instance HZD looks more asthonising (graphically) than this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you've ever watched Game Of Thrones, well...this is the "Game of thrones" of computer games.

    The first "Last of us" was one of my top 5 games of all time.
    Really felt attached to the characters and you really get to see Ellie and Joel become like father and daughter.

    With LOU2 they completely change who Joel was as a person. Why would a man who has clearly done bad stuff in the past...
    just randomly give his real name to a bunch of strangers, when they know the areas and who's around?! They (him and tommy) know there are people who may be after them because of Ellie/fireflies and their own past.

    They give him one of the worst deaths within the story. No build up to it...no nothing.

    Then they make you spend half the game playing as the person who murdered Joel in an attempt to make you feel sorry for her(Abbi), even though she doesn't have any remorse for the people she kills throughout the story. Ellie only wants revenge for Joel and you see that in the situations where she kills people, you see her heart breaking because in every situation...you(Ellie) are attacked first and HAVE NO CHOICE but to kill in defence.(the game doesn't give you any other options)

    Absolutely butchered this game!

    This game COULD HAVE been really good, even with this "Abbi wants revenge" as the games basis...even if Joel died ....but they played it all completely wrong...

    If you can't connect to the characters, how are you expected to enjoy or at least have 'the want' to play this game.
    And the fact that they keep trying to block any sort of constructive criticism from the public (y'know, the people that they want to take money off of) especially on social media is a joke!

It seems like an attempt to take all that is sacred in the human experience, and force you to feel nothing but negativity.

    I played the first game back in 2013 on ps3 and i was just amazed how beautiful the narrative was and how complex and detailed each character was, for me it was the best game I’ve ever played. Then I decided not to buy xbox one and buy ps4 just because I wanted to experience this game once more on the next gen console. And since then I've total of 8 playthroughs and another 2 on the left behind. I loved that game so much that I get bored of it. Then when part 2 was announced I wasn’t sure if I wanna play because the ending of the first was so perfect that I thought Niel Druckmann would just ruin it if he tried to continue it ( If it ain’t broke don’t fix it ) Then it came out and every single idea they put in the first game they just kill it in this one, they’re trying so hard to spoil everything you loved about the characters. I got to a point where I don’t know what am I playing. And I can’t event get back and play the first part because it’ll remind me of how bad the second one is So my advice to you if you haven’t played it and you love the first one just don’t try to ruin your experience by playing this, trust me it’s not worth it

The game seemed fine until you are forced to play as this terrible monster, Abby, and then forced to SPARE HER LIFE at the end. What a waste of time. Why play a game that's all about revenge only to not get it at the end? I waited this many years for this? To see Joel get brutally murdered for no reason right off the bat, a character that was perfect and beautiful, then see his murderer get spared, without a choice of your own? How disgusting! Revenge was the answer here. Without it, the game is a waste of time and a meaningless story. Only giving it a 2 for graphics. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game breaks my heart for all the wrong reasons. A 7 year wait for the sequel to on of the greatest video games ever made all for naughty dog to screw it up. I adored the last of us but part 2 is a terrible game. the gameplay is fun and the graphics look great but that's as far as the praise goes for this game. within the very beginning of the game Joel who is widely considered along with the likes of Lee Everett as some of the greatest father figures in gaming is killed. this was expected however the way they did it was terrible. having a man who once ran over someone he didn't trust within seconds of meeting them get tricked by someone and ultimately getting beaten to death in the most undignified way is so poor from the writing team. however i'm not as torn over this as the majority of the last of us fans as i was constantly focused on getting revenge and killing Abby. I truly hated Abby but as i was playing i was conscious of this and accepted this was naughty dogs way of setting her up to die at the hands of Ellie but this is where the game went from decent to absolutely horrible. the first half of the game sends you out on a revenge quest and when you finally get to the end time rewinds and you have to do everything you just did with Ellie in Abby's shoes up until the final confrontation. this is one of the worst decisions ive ever witnessed from a game. making you spend half the total play time playing as one of the most hated characters in video game history is dreadful. after getting back to the final confrontation between Abby and Ellie maybe just maybe if after all of this Ellie got the revenge she spent the whole game getting then I could leave somewhat satisfied but no. after the entire game is spent based around a revenge plot you never even kill Abby which absolutely baffles me. this game is truly awful from a story and writing point of view and it really seems like an entirely different studio produced this disgrace of a sequel to such a monumental game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After waiting 7 years for a game which had promise and high expectations, Naughty Dog has proven to somehow break their trust with fans and anticipated gamers. The gameplay is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game because it has kept the consistancy of the first game with a few upgrades and tweaks. The storyline however, the biggest reason why fans fell in love with the first game, was the most lacking. It is clear that Naughty Dog has created a sloppy storyline based on inconsistant character development and its clear shift to focussing on new characters. Joel's death is one that most to all fans expected but the timing and execution is why the story has failed. His character in this game is clearly inconsistent with the first game as the Joel that all fans have come to love was cautious, on high alert, and not trusting of new faces. Therefore, it is not clear why in part 2, he would trust a new character, walk into an environment where he can be ambushed and then introduce himself, all while knowing the reputation he built on the first game. Secondly, the sequence of events of this game is what makes Abby a highly unlikeable character. If we learnt about her past along with Joel and Ellie's adventure after the hospital, this would have made a stronger built up tension and when Joel was killed, would have had a better pay off and stronger moral dilemma between the revenge. Joel and Ellie's relationship is also dropped which is another factor in its problem. Naughty Dog, why in the world would you get rid of the reason why fans love the story and the game in the second part to replace it with revenge and new characters, fans did not wait 7 years to see. It is clear that the overarching theme of this game is revenge. It is not a good theme. Considering Joel and Ellie's relationship had hardships because of the betrayal, it would have made more sense to make the theme forgiveness. While Abby faces the concequences of the loss of her father, we also follow the storyline of Joel telling Ellie the truth, and then Ellie learning to forgive Joel to bring them back together. When this happens, Abby hunts Joel down and then kills him. By this point, Joel and Ellie's has had a proper conclusion, both characters fully developing. By killing Joel in the beginning and only finding out that Ellie was open to forgiveness the night before his death, provides no closure to the story. Furthermore, forgiveness can also include hope which the first game featured. Hence why certain scenes in the first game lifted up the mood and released tension. Part 2 however, is solely based on revenge and because of this, most of the game is depressing and frankly, off putting. Personally, I found myself stopping half way through because of the toll it took on my mental health. Yes, it is sad he died, why can't there be sections of hope? Times where the game is so beautiful you just have to sit in awe. Instead, this franchise has become based on a depressing plot. I found myself turning on something overwhelmingly happy like Animal Crossing or SpiderMan PS4 to keep myself feeling happy. Learning Abby's story after killing one of the most loveable characters also makes her a lot more unlikeable. While it is known that sequals are worse than the first, Naughty Dog has created a new low of which many game developers will never reach.
    Naughty Dog, you **** up.

Sadly the story, the most important thing imo, was so bad and forced and cringy that i cant give the game more than one point. Now some spoilers about that disgusting story, so pls dont read beyond this point if you havent played the game....
    I feel like this game was just made to promote political stuff. Like i support different sexualities and that women are equal to man and all that but come on dont force that stuff on me when i am trying to play an action game. Things like abby looking like an absolute machine who never skips working out and supplements in a time with extreme food shortage and all that is just pathetic. And Mel jumping from a solid 3 Meters as pregnant women like its the most casual thing made me cringe so hard. They also killed almost every male character (mostly by women) and not a single female character was killed by a man. And yeah letting Joel die like that and then frocing me to play that joke of a Character called Abby to force me to sympathize with her made me almost quit the game. There are still so many things to complain about but i dont want to waste any more time on that trash and neither should you.

It may have been a more positive outcome if the sequence of events was re-organized in a way that we get to understand what was the driving force of the antagonist in doing his/her actions rather than just bluntly forcing it on the first portion of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLOU 2 Review

    After playing through the game, and watching a full playthrough, discussing it with peers, I’ve come to the conclusion the story was not thought out. The gameplay is awesome. Seriously, the realistic blood splatter, the incredibly detailed gore, body deconstruction, and environmental destruction all show that good money was spent on the gameplay. But honestly, who plays The Last Of Us(TLOU) for the gameplay? I don’t pick up Doom Eternal or Mortal Combat thinking “Man I can’t wait to be enthralled in a gripping story!” the same way I don’t pick up The Wolf Among Us for the gameplay. The story was patchwork at best, a completely unpleasant game with terrible pacing at worst. It seems like Abby’s story was added in as an afterthought, and the order of events shows that. The developer clearly wants us to empathize with this character they plucked out of a Gears of War game (the MoCap body is literally a woman openly using steroids). Her physique aside - which admittedly breaks immersion for some reason – I HATED her for mercilessly beating one of the industries most loved characters right in front of Ellie who you still probably care about from the first game 7 years ago. How can you expect us to empathize with someone when you’ve started their interaction with the player from such a low? The order should have been, introduce Abby, and trick the player into thinking TLOU isn’t about Joel and Ellie anymore. Then maybe I would have liked any of her gang of poorly written friends. Seriously, they have the Spanish guy the dumbest lines ranging from “I just want to drink and watch Anime” to eluding to lewd acts with every woman on their base. That said, Owen and Mel were exceptions as at least they called Abby out on her nonsense for being a garbage person, but I suspect this was just me needed SOME catharsis and wanted to see someone get back at her. Half-baked character’s aside, then after you convince us to like Abby after showing her saving Lev(Lily?) or her flashback with her dad or SOMETHING likable, not a sex scene for cheap shock value, then surprise us with Joel’s murder.

    I will never forget the moment in the first game when Henry shot himself, or when Ellie as a child defeated a dangerous cannibal group ON HER OWN and had an emotional breakdown as Joel comforted her, or the last scene in the game where she makes Joel swear to her that what he said is true and the WAVE of emotions evoked from the game-ending right thereafter she hears his lie. I can’t even remember the Spanish guy’s name, or the transgender kid’s twin sister’s name, why Demi? Deana? likes Ellie other than she is ALSO into girls. TLDR: The story in this game was mediocre, poorly structured, too fast-paced, and clearly rewritten too many times with late revisions to form any semblance of an emotional connection that the first game had.
