    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILERS. People are trying to say 'You're SUPPOSED to hate playing as Abby!', 'You're SUPPOSED to hate fighting Ellie'.. So they make parts of a game that we are supposed to hate and then are surprised we hate it? I was sad at what happened with Joel, sure, but it was not surprising. A main character dying is not a surprise (its been done, a lot). I was expecting it in part I, was pleasantly surprised he survived. Now it's 'Don't you know these characters are flawed?'... Yeah, Joel basically doomed humanity in game one, you are not amazing for realising he isn't perfect. GTA you play as a sadistic murderer. You don't wish you were playing as a cop. Amazingly, I didn't care about Abby's journey, because I didn't come back for her. Want a new story? Make a new game. I wanted all Ellie's journey. The people we came back for, having played the first game. New games have been made with side characters that are awesome - Chloe in Uncharted standalone game? Awesome. But they don't force it upon you, especially when that character murders the person you spent the entire first game bonding with and understanding. But considering game one was NOT done in irritating constant flashbacks, but was linear in its timeline, and only did character changes when the other main character was out of commission, it made sense. As Ellie, I was exploring everything, I was checking everything, because I was rooting for her. I wanted her and Dina to succeed in what they set out to do. I was worried for them. I wanted them to get home together. I wanted her to have the best weapons and gear. As Abby, I raced through every aspect of it, because I didn't care. I knew I didn't want her to survive! And that means I didn't care about most of the game. And in the end, there was literally no satisfaction. Expand

    Playing for Abby and trying to kill Ellie was a point when I turned the game off and felt deceived by Neil who was chasing his ego or whatever. Awful. Wish I red the spoilers and never preordered.
    Besides the script, the team did a great job btw.

People who have the game a good review use “people die” as an excuse when the subject of Joel’s death comes up and i’d agree, but only if they killed him in a way that made since, instead they ignore everything about joel and kill him. “oh Joel doesn’t trust people so easily? well now he trusts any random person who comes up to him” is definitely what the story writer said when questioned about killing Joel. They could’ve done several things to make Joel’s death better imo but just killing him just for plot while disregarding his character leaves a bad taste. Another thing i didn’t like about the story was the new characters that were added. the only one i liked was Jesse and even still he was pretty meh. they kill the main character and then throw in several new characters that we’re supposed to care about. I just think they could’ve made the new characters better and not kill every single one of them off before we even start to like them. “we’ll kill off these 2 characters that we’ve seen for about 30 minutes and expect the player to be sad about it” Another issue was the sudden switch from playing as Ellie to Abby. Quick question Naughty Dog, why tf are you making us play as the character that killed our favorite killer and then make us go through some of the most boring/predictable stuff. like at this point i already know there’s gonna be an enemy @ the bottom of this slide or at the end of this conveniently placed door/window. they also try and make us feel bad about Abby but you really can’t after yknow SHE KILLS JOEL. Pleaseeeeeeeee Naughty Dog. Please come out and say this was all a joke and the real Pt 2 will be coming out @ the end of the year for the Ps5. cause tbh this doesn’t even seem to be like the game fans of the series needed. it just leaves a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth.

    I did not like it at all, a very forced and inconsistent story, the mechanics of the game are not a big deal. I expected much more from this title but I must say that there was a very bad approach in this part that totally disrespects the first installment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Playing through the game, I wanted to give the writing the benefit of the doubt that it would get better. It didn't.

    There are SO MANY things the writer could have done but didn't and it destroyed what a great game it could have been story wise. The gameplay is the only redeeming quality of this game.

    My reasoning As a writer: (Spoiler warning)

    Abby and her friends didn't feel remorse for their actions. Not once was Abby haunted by what she did. You can't FORCE someone to feel bad for characters that don't deserve sympathy.

    Too many conversations that were never had. Ellie and Abby could have come to an understanding, but no. Many things in the writing were flat and destroyed what the first game was. Killing Joel was a mistake, Showing Abby and Her friends having no regrets for what they did, That was a mistake. Dina leaving Ellie at the end, That was a mistake.

    I could go On and On about the catastrophe this game was story wise but I can't find the words to express how disappointed I am that Neil let it fall this way. This game should have been torn down and done from scratch story wise. You wasted the actress and actors' time on this flaming pile of garbage. They all did fine but the writing, Piss Poor and it tried to Force a message rather than let the players find out on their own.

    As a writer you're not meant to force a message upon your readers or players. It's supposed to be ambiguous so they can come to their own conclusions about these things. You can't force us to feel anything doing it the way you did. This failure deserves to be a reminder that the series has been done wrong.

    Neil can say "You don't know Joel and Ellie like I do" All you damn well want because Apparently it isn't true, Plenty of us have a better understanding of their characters than you ever will.

    Neil you're a terrible writer and I Hope this failed project serves as the final nail in the coffin for you. The first game was Phenomenal and now it's apparent that you are abandoning good writing for a **** message you want to force on people. Hope this cripples you financially because this failure won't be forgotten by the fans...Ever, They will see your name and forever hate it.

    hope doing what you did was worth it, and I hope you get everything you deserve because you failed as a writer. From one writer to another your best option would be to Do it all over again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty game. But has a plot and story that feels like it was created by a 5 year old playing with army men and toy zombies. Actually now that I think about it when I was 5 I was coming up with way better stories then just “You killed my father prepare to die” ... did Neil druckman watch princess bride and say “yea... this Diego Montoya guy gets it...” lol. I mean princess bride did that because it was incredibly cheesy and stereotypical and because of that it’s a comedy... and a damn good one too... TLOU2 was supposed to be a drama... Shakespeare would be rolling in his grave for mixing these two concepts. (Besides, when I was a kid playing with the army men. My protagonist actually killed the guy who killed his father... He didn’t Pu$$¥ out at the last second like in TLOU2 LolZ. What Terrible terrible writing... ) I’m legit worried about the HBO tv show cuz druckman is directing that too... can someone fire him off it and invite in the actual original creator and writer of the first TLOU? She actually knows how to captivate an audience for a decade. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who has played the first game many times over, it's truly heartbreaking to see this game do what it did. It took everything that the first game was good at and s*** on it.

    I'll start with the pros, because despite being a trainwreck of a game there still are some. The game is visually STUNNING. I found myself at times stopping and looking around at the environments, marveling at such a beautifully crafted world. The facial animations, again, phenomenal. Voice acting? Top tier. The gameplay was something I found myself tolerating, if you've liked the first game's gameplay it's pretty much the same. Loot, craft, kill.

    But oh boy, the cons. The problem with this game was not just the borderline nausea inducing storyline but the way it was handled too. Anything that anyone would have had a problem with was snuck into the second half of the game. Naughty Dog knew that if they told players upfront about what the story is NO ONE would have bought it. They kill a beloved character that they forced everything to think had a central part in the story IN THE FIRST TWO HOURS! When he dies you haven't even left the tutorial stage of the game. I don't think his death is bad, don't get me wrong. But they falsely advertised this game as a continuation OF HIS STORY. On top of that the decisions he made leading up to his death was just lazy writing. The character in question would have never gotten into the situation that resulted in his death had he been written the same way he was in the first game. AND THAT'S THE THEME OF THE GAME. All the characters we knew and grew to love all act so out of character here, they all make decisions they never would have. This game requires a lot of buy in from the player, you have to buy in this character would do this, you have to buy into the story and the second you start questioning ANYTHING you're sucked out of the charade that Naught Dog created. It's a load of lazy story writing. ON TOP OF THAT YOU SPEND HALF THE TIME PLAYING AS A CHARACTER YOU DONT CARE ABOUT HUNTING DOWN THOSE THAT YOU DO. It's just a load of bs. The reason I am so goddamn angry about it, is that they gave us a glimpse at what a real sequel could have been. The flashback in which Ellie and Joel went to the museum? That was eff'n perfect. Make that the whole game and it's a straight 10/10, it would've been perfect. Give me more of that game, not this revenge gore p0rn and Neil decided he wanted. When you play as Ellie, all you experience is the devolvement of a beloved character, and the story is clearly set up in a way that is: Ellie bad, Abby good. (My example for this is the dog. As Ellie you are FORCED, as in HARD SCRIPTED INTO THE GAME, WITH NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO KILL THE DOG. And immediately after you are playing as Abby and suddenly you're playing fetch with the dog. Once again: Ellie bad, Abby good.) I don't give two ***** about Abby Neil, I know you wanted to write in that scene where you got some, but damn this was not the way to go.

    It's almost as if every single writer at Naughty Dog had their own idea as to what should happen, who the villain should be, who the hero should be, and they couldn't decide so they mashed it into one game and shoved it down the player's throats with Sony cheering them on.

    Naughty Dog said that their goal for the game was to create an unpleasant and merciless experience, well the sure as heck did that and then some. This game is an excruciating experience, it's not fun at all. There are very little redeeming qualities and I'm ashamed to have spent money on this steaming pile of ****. If you really want to see the game for yourself, just watch a youtube play through of it, there's tons by now. Don't give this man, and his studio, your money and time, because they will take it and make a third game that is even worse. And don't listen to the Sony fanboys who will praise this game to high heavens because they really aren't hearing the other side. Is this game a 0/10? Absolutely not. But it sure as heck isn't 10/10. Even 6/10 would be too high in my opinion.

    Do yourself a favor, don't buy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't expecting such a terrible story, especially after so many years of development and Naughty Dog's reputation.

    Pros
    Very entertaining and engaging gameplay, good improvements from the first game
    Undeniably amazing graphics
    Great performances like always
    Great music
    Good level design for the most part, once again good improvements from the first game.

    Cons
    Unlikeable characters
    Poor pacing
    Terrible story

    The game and trailers try to use shock value to make the Joel death scene that much more painful to watch, using shock value tactics and intentionally changing what occurs in trailers further proves this. The issue is not the fact that Joel died it's how he died, by trusting a stranger and giving away sensitive information to then be brutally beaten. This completely goes against his character and feels very lazy. Furthermore, I can't begin to understand how the writers thought that players would feel compassion for a new character (Abby) that brutally beat a character from the first game that everyone loved (Joel) who just saved her life. Any attempt to try to create compassion for Abby was a failure and was very forced. There are many other glaring issues with Abby's part including the trip to the hospital to get medical supplies which was very drawn out and pointless, and her part in general being much longer than it had to be. The ending was atrocious, Ellie left her comfortable life with her girlfriend to track down Abby(again), to then fight her (again), and then let her go. After killing all of Abby's friends, losing friends of her own and just getting her fingers bitten off did Ellie have a cliche realization that " Revenge bad" " Forgiveness good" I'm sorry what? I would have much preferred for the game to have ended at the farm with Ellie, Dina and the baby.

I tried to like them but it felt very one sided (ellie bad/abby good) and forced.
    The game had potential, the gameplay was good and the grafics are amazing but being a narrative drven Game it does not cut it.

    Also the game promised a lot of things falsley to add and it never delivered any.

    Can compare it o got season 8 or the last starwars trilogy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. La historia en si la veo digamos con mucha coincidencia puesto a que derrepente da la casualidad que Abby se encuentra con la persona que le tenía el mayor rencor, en cuestión de la muerte de Joel es igual fue mera coincidencia su encuentro con Abby pero digamos que podría pasar eso aceptable digamo, entonces sobre la muerte de Joeloues tenemos que saber que no es inmortal y que en este juego por más que sea el protagonista del anterior juego no es el bueno o más bien nadie del juego es el bueno ,como pasa en el mundo , simplemente quisiera que al menos se pudieran perdonar Joel y ellie, eso sí fue algo que dolió ya que cuando por fin empezaba a ir todo bien otra vez pues pasó eso que pasó , entonces con el gameplay me encantó todo , digamos que es algo realista o tiene en ciertas cosas ,por ejemplo cuando dina salvó a ellie, le dispararon y se cayó y se rompió el cristal , fue bueno el detalle que ellie se desatará con el cristal de dicha ventana , físicas también está buenas , obviamente nada del otro mundo pero si mejores que la mayoría de juegos (teniendo en cuenta que tardaron más tiempo en su creación que la mayoría de juegos que salen a cada año)gráficas igual no se si sean las mejores que se puedan en ver en consola pero se veía muy bien , ya después sobre Abby pues siento que si estuvo bien que la pusieran ya que pues nos hace ver todo de otra manera y obviamente si el juego anterior fuera de Abby pues todos quisieran matar a ellie al principio, lo único que quisiera que fuera diferente es sobre el momento en que pasamos a jugar con ella siento que ese momento todos estábamos con el odio al 100% y otros simplemente ya no quisieron jugar, otra sería al final del juego como ya no va a ver otra parte o eso supongo, que al menos tuvieras la oportunidad de matar o no a Abby , obviamente hay mucho hate por ser un exclusivo y por qué era básicamente el juego insignia de Playstation o uno de ellos, a mi me gustó ya que no es como lo típico que siempre gana el "bueno" como en las películas de Marvel, ya que la mayoría quisieran que fuera una muerte de Joel como la de Tony Stark o entre otras ,una muerte heroica, yo en verdad en cierta parte lo veo bien que fuera así excepto lo que dije anteriormente de que no se pudo disculpar, ya que en esta vida nunca sabes cuándo vas a morir y con mucha suerte podrías morir heroicamente, aparte estaban en un mundo apocalíptico con zombies, una persona que evito que el planeta entero pudiera volver a la "paz" obviamente muchas esperanzas de vivir no habría a menos que Joel sea un personaje que lo ayuda la historia ,en este caso no, me recuerda mucho a the walking dead en dos formas ,una en que este juego parece como las primeras temporadas de la serie en que la prioridad de la historia sean los humanos y peleas entre ellas ,la verdad eso pues no les gusto a muchos en la serie y pues aquí pasa lo mismo, pero se nota mucho que una vez que acabas sabes que si llega a aver una tercer parte que dudo mucho no será de humanos más bien de una cura por qué puede que Abby encuentre a los demás luciérnagas y tal vez alguien igual para encontrar la cura y al final no tener que sacrificar a ellie. Lo otro que me recuerda es a the walking dead el juego ya que el protagonista muere ,no se sacrifica ya que fue accidente que lo muerdan pero bueno. En fin igual ya sabemos que en esta época está la generación de cristal que todo les ofende ,todo critican, nada les gusta y piensan que es una basura de historia, obviamente no es una basura de historia y tampoco algo perfecto ya que es hecha por humanos ,pero está hecha por personas ,pero personas experimentadas que obviamente también dudaron al saber la idea pero después aceptaron.Si fuera de 0 a 10 le pondría un 8.9 más que nada por la historia fuera de la historia es un buen juego igual que el primero, solo que como estás o enojado o decepcionado no puedo llegar a captar todos los demás detalles del juego ya que solo juegas batte Royale Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s saying something when the most enjoyable parts of the game are the 5 minutes of flashbacks with what SHOULD be the main characters. I couldn’t care less about the new characters they forced on us for half the game, and didn’t care if or when they died. Many of the events in the storyline just didn’t make sense, such as the countless instances where it seems like the characters are going to die, but then WOW! They somehow get spared! It was just an unsatisfying game, particularly the ending. No one waited 7 years to follow along characters we don’t care about after they immediately murdered Joel, one of the few that we actually care about, no matter his flaws or the “justification.” I understand the message they strived to send, but it was executed horribly. The only two things that save this game from a 1 or 2 rating are: the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie (particularly the dinosaur/space museum - absolute perfection), and the graphics/ gameplay. The story and its execution ruin this game. Sad, since the first is the best game I’ve ever played. Expand

    The problem with this game isn’t ‘politics’, it is that it is boring. The game has not much gameplay, gameplay is very simple (like ‘walk over here, click this button, and you did it) and is heavy on the cutscenes. You could basically gut the gameplay and made this a streaming/TV special

You kill Joel in 2 hours and replace him with a character we don’t even know or have any real backstory too who the fu** hired these writer wtaf. But all right I get it make something new keep us on our seats and guessing but at least make a Coherent story and character arc. Lastly I have one final thing to say to naughty dog studios , why are you making games political.Honesty what did you think would happen especially in today’s current political climate. Your literally putting a wedge between you and half or your customers. Keep your political views out of video games plain and simple. You know most people probably more than 3/4 of the people have nothing against lgbt persons and don’t mind them being in a game as main characters but to say that we are all racist, bigots for not liking the Obviously Flawed Story and your use of editing to make it appear that we would be playing with Ellie and Joel again is wrong and probably illegal. Final words if naughty dog does nothing about ND and there writing team I guarantee you will no longer get any of my business. Expand

The first game was successful because of the story! This franchise is story-based! Which is why a lot of fans are disappointed. Not to mention the false advertising that completely made us believe it would be another Joel and Ellie adventure... when the reality was the murder of a much beloved character... in the first 2 hours of the game. It was then you lost me...Ellies revenge plot was genuine and I was with her throughout the game! I wanted that b**ch dead but then!!!!! you made me play the person responsible! Not just for 15 minutes but for the majority of the second portion of the game!!!!! and had the audacity to try to get us to SYMPATHISE! With her! No! Just no!.
    But what made me more angry was that Ellie’s revenge plot goes nowhere! The person got to live! Which makes me believe! That the killing at the beginning was just a plot device! Which basically proves that the director Neil didn’t give too s**ts about our love for the characters who we grew to care about in the first game. It’s like we have completely forgotten about the zombies and what made them interesting and again moved to the humans. Much like Walking Dead. Which in my eyes is boring. Don’t get me wrong there are some positives, the gameplay is excellent, improving your weapons has this cool animations and most of all the graphics is just stunning!! but the story had to be right and it wasn’t. *sigh*

Who in their right mind would clear a very late term pregnant woman go into a combat/front line mission and then be surprised when they get injured. Don't get me wrong the combat and leveling have been decently improved, but not enough to keep me completely invested in the story. The score (when you can hear it) is phenomenal. I just felt overall let down by how horribly the characters transformed in this so unnaturally. I really wanted to love this game and I felt cheated.

    I was bored rigid for first 3 hrs, tedious. I thought the game picked up after that & it kept my interest, but in a bad, unenjoyable way. The stereotyped politics & wokeness the creators have tried to shoehorn down your throat is laughable. I was actually relieved to start playing abby just to get away from the wooden character of Dina. All characters have been stripped of any likeability. The whole thing is bleak & pointless. It makes me wonder if ND delayed this game because they realised they'd created a turd and sought desperately to polish it.I thought the game had ended after abbys first bossfight with ellie but no, they decided to drag it on for a second non sensical confrontation ( which felt like dlc). An utterly pointless sequel besmirching the memory of the first..which I replayed immediately after just to restore my faith. RIP to a franchise that promised and delivered then slapped the face of its fanbase..

Gameplay and immersion are the only saving grace, and being immersed in the pile of garbage that is this movie is hardly a good experience. I was not even going to leave a bad review of the game until I saw the Devs' response ot the backlash and how out of touch it was and how it attempted to shift the blame on the players for their own poor writing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Liberal Neo-Marxism and discrimination. All the so called "religious" people in this game are religious fanatics who want to kill and torture a transgender person. As if all religious people from every religion were like that but apparently after the world ended, ended all types of non-marxist stereotypes of religious people and religious groups. There are no liberals among them. None of them loves others. All of them are basically New Testament era pharisees. This game is discriminating against religion and religious people. It also discriminates religious liberals when it claims that only hateful bigots survived the end of the world. All the "good guys" are non-religious people and I'll say this again, none of the "religious" people in this game help the transgender person against others of their own group. What adds up to the irony of that all was the claim of the developers of the game to say that there's moral ambiguity because they picture both the villains background and the Ellie's background. But as faithful Marxists the development team forgot that even after the end of the world there would be people who joined the religious fanatics but then disagreed with them but for one reason or another decided to not obey their rules as strictly. This has been shown to happen in religious groups in the past and is happening in many western countries today. What I described happened during the 16th century in Germany. Google Martin Luther. Yeah, after the end of the world only liberals can think for themselves according to Naughty Dog. Expand

If i can endure first 10 hours because of Elly, because of nostalgia but 2nd 10 hours (or MORE) I can't. INCLUDING SPOILERS. Ofcourse I don't want play for Abby. This is just disgusting character (outward, manner of speech, her friends). This game want me to perceive her environment like Ellie's environment, but i CAN'T. They empty, they hideous. In the same time Ellie's friends (that i know from the 1st game!!!! and LOVE) is a good persons. i don't give a **** about LGBT suppoena. I just don't like this past-gen game Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 2 points that i’m giving is just for the gameplay, to hell with the damn story
    How could a baby child named abby kill a man who traveled across the whole US in the first part just kill him with a **** gulf stick,Think about what amazing things you did with joel in the first part, how many people and zombies you killed all by your own, just killed in his **** home? If you want to kill joel just kill him good not in his own **** territory and With a **** gulf stick, the writing sucks, i can’t believe i waited all these years for a piece of crap

    Just made an account to rant here, this is the worst story telling ever in any piece of media, Neil Druckman and company should take as example on how to make the story work in tandem with the game design from Metal gear solid 3 or even master storytellers like Fincher or Spielberg. This game sucks story wise

    Grafics and gameplay is good but the story is trash and this is the worst thing about the game the player itself don't have motivations to continué playing after they favorite characters are complety idiots and no acording to the personalities of the first game

    The "lacration of us 2" é uma decepção, não pelos gráficos ou jogabilidade mas sim pelo enredo.

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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]
