    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is terrible. The story is completely ruined by forcing you to play as a drab uninspired SJW inspired character that nobody asked for. Ellie is left to rot and none of this makes any sense. Even the core gameplay takes a massive step back.
    It’s more bland and basic than before with 0 thrills. Cutscenes are glitchy and the whole thing is a mess.

    I’m glad I took it back for Ghost of Tsushima. I’m having a waaaayy better time with that game. AAA revenge tale done masterfully.

    Technically the game is very good, especially visually. This is the only positive aspect.
    The story is horrible and you can't criticize it without being labeled anti-something. The setting is not believable, and there are some details that just don't make sense in a post-apocalyptic world (i.e. the widespread usage of 20-year-old medication found on a derelict hospital). But the worse is the characters. The main characters exist to prove points, they are there for the writer's convenience. During the gameplay, it gets even more evident that politics were behind the creation of this story, and that characters were molded into stereotypes so that that story could be written. The secondary characters are entirely forgettable.
    I finished the game only because I don't like to leave stuff undone.
    I'm never buying a game from Naughtydog again.

    1- beautiful graphics ✅
    2- great gameplay ✅

    3- story we have been waiting for 7 years................( I don’t think so )

    Because there was ton of things the story could have gone for.

    A lot of unnecessary things in the story

    The ending doesn’t answer any question

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly do not understand the direction this game took at all. After Joel is killled and you are forced to play his killer I felt many things: disappointment, anger, disgust, betrayal, and sadness. It wasn’t just the fact that Joel was gone. It was that you are this character for half the game... and you have to beat the **** out of Ellie with this character... then so you are forced to feel anything positive for this character they force you to see the backstory of people you are killling as Ellie. The directors/writers trying to “teach” us that even the “villains” are human and maybe were created this way felt so disgusting... they could have created a new game with new characters for this wasted idea. This is upsetting me to the point I can’t even finish my point.. but trying to make people dislike characters we grew to love in the first game by way of a forced story isn’t a great, and will only make us hate you for it. It’s like if all the sudden we play a new uncharted game and we kill Nathan Drake then play as his killer... no one wants to do that. These devs literally crapped all over fans with this one. Won’t be buying the third. Expand

    I feel like I was force fed food that I hate throughout this entire game. I have no empathy for the new characters. I waited several years to see Ellie and Joel grow as father and daughter; I didn't wait all this time for whatever mess of a game this is. You rolled the dice, Naughty Dog, but you bet on the wrong characters.. I'm gonna pretend this game is one big nightmare Ellie has.

No matter how hard I tried I felt no sympathy for abbey.Frankley the game wasn’t as enjoyable as the first game and the only advantage the 2nd game had over the ledgendary first game is the graphics but that’s a given at the back end of the PS4 lifespan.I don’t think if people don’t want to see politics in a film they will put up with it to the extreme that it is in a £55 Plus game. Don't bother with a 3rd as the beating heart of the game is dead.Thanks for that I hope your happy. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first part of last of us was just outstanding. A milestone in the game history. I found the second part almost hideous because of the bad story. But first to the positive. The graphics textures are great. Whe weather conditions are very realistic. You can see that the graphic detals were programmed with love. With HDR you can even recognize tiny text passages in the big world. I also find the sound and the music composed very beautifully and professionally. The music adapts to the different scenes. I also think the gameplay is outstanding. The controls are simple and not complicated. Now the negative: in some places I find the game too boring because the mission repeats itself. Search for it or find it. That was not always the case but sometimes. Why did I only give a 3 for TLOU2? The horrible bad story !!!! How can you tell such a good story from part 1 so badly? A favorite character dies at the beginning and you are even forced to play with the killer for over 20 hours. What i liked most badly was that the game tries to influence me with a political opinion. I play games for fun and not to listen to and look at any political opinions. I feel that the game was a left political party game.Then I can turn on the TV right away. The end battle of the story makes no sense to me, especially the totally bad boring ending. in the end i felt as if i had played all the time without meaning and purpose. Expand

The Story is the main selling point of this game, the world it has built and characters it has developed in the first game are what the selling point was. Unfortunately contrary to what the reviewers believe (surprise surprise) it underwhelms in this department and rather feels like a forced farce rather than a actual thought out follow up. It has moments where you see what it could have been but all too soon you are reminded of what it is. If you don't mind the story and want Gameplay the game is mostly solid, however if the story is what brought you here, Buyer Beware, this will be a Raiden moment from MGS. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I begin, I am Spanish-speaking, and I am criticized that it was done with the Google translator, and it is likely that I have errors.

    To begin, I will explain the reason for my grade of 3/10, without first explaining some things. The last game of the trilogy was very unexpected for the public, coming from a company like Naughty Dog, which since its inception has been making games with more childish tones (some less than others). At the time the first trailer was released, people were not sure what this title was going to be, which, after being released, moved everyone with a very good story, graphics, gameplay, etc. The new title would not have the same fate, it is more, it would carry the weight of marveling us all and exceeding our expectations, which clearly did not succeed, and it was not solely the fault of the company, since we have cases like Duke Nukem Forever that after 14 years of development, he did not meet the expectations at all, and people are partly to blame, for overestimating something that may not be what was expected.
    The game itself, is not that it has a bad story, it developed quite badly, but the concept is not bad, they were wrong to focus so much on Ashley, and everything that had to go through her life, when she killed the character more beloved of the saga, that is why he did not achieve his mission of making the player empathize with it. As much as you tell me about your misfortunes and miseries, the player comes with hatred since he killed Joel, and that he does not forgive him, and less knowing that the main plot of the game is to take revenge on all the accomplices and the murderer. At this point, the game wants you to empathize with the 2 characters, and wants you to think that they are all good people, which is why they have lived previously.
    PS: The game focuses too much on Ellie's decisions, as if everything revolved around her, sometimes downplaying the plot.

    Anyway, the graphics are pretty good, but there are still a lot of bugs, downgrades, artificial intelligence glitches, very ridiculous things, typical of Hollywood movies.
    A title that is not worth its $ 60 at all and makes me think that after each generation, it gets more involved, prioritizing money over quality.
    Bye.

The first day of playing TLOUP2 ruined my mood and day and only anger and revenge motivated me to move on. Don't know from what to start: the way they killed our favorite character is horrible and disrespecting, the second part of the game playing for the character that I hate and the end of the game with playing against Ellie! Whaaaaat? If you wanted to tell another story of pain and sorrow on behalf of Abby, let's thing of all people (soldiers) that was killed during the game! Does it mean that all its families will come and get revenge? Why you killed Joel in such a way? We would hate Abby even if she JUST killed Joel. Many incredibly beautiful locations were given to Abby but I didn't even enjoy it as I wanted to finish this part as soon as possible. After the end of the game I don't feel any connection with Abby, at all...I feel only empty and frustration Expand

    TLOU is my favourite game in the last decade and top 3 in the last 20 years. It had decent gameplay, great graphics and especially what made this an outstanding game is its story. Take that away and it would become average.
    TLOU 2 may be a great game for those who didn't play the first, but for us who did, this was a HUGE disappointment. Waste of time, money and ruined your credibility.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a solid disappointment saying fans have waited 7 years, the characters we loved from the first game get little to no respect, within the first 2 hours of the game, the beginning looks promising starting with joel and ellie and joel singing for her, however it takes a sharp turn when Joel, a character we played as for the first game and we came to love, got beaten down with a golf club because of an NPC you kill in the first game. The story from then on feels empty, you are forced to play as a new character, Abby, who also is Joel’s killer, her character development was poor, made to play as a character for 10 hours who you have no attachment to and after she killed a key character to the story. The flashbacks between joel and ellie were the only parts of the game I enjoyed, mainly the museum flashback. The graphics are 10/10, the best I’ve seen and the accessibility controls are amazing, however the game just lacks everywhere else. Story and character development is way off from the first game and it just feels empty and like a chore to play. The ending is disappointing and empty, probably left for a third game for Abby, which I will not be getting. Overall I think the last of us 2 is an awfully written game, with the power of the graphics and gameplay I can only give it maximum a 4/10 as it is a predominately story based game with an awful story, however if there was a multiplayer I would play that as it has amazing graphics and really enjoyable gameplay. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing it because for the money it will just be disappointing. The LGBT aspects do not affect the game whatsoever and if someone has an issue with them in 2020 they’re the issue, not the characters. the whole “revenge is bad storyline” was executed poorly, as after butchering everyone on your way to Abby, you just let her go so loads of characters were killed for no reason, I understand what they tried to do, but unlike red dead 2 where a “revenge is bad” storyline is done well. Overall 4/10 which is upsetting because from the first game which was a masterpiece to this, it is very disappointing Expand

Obviously the way that joel's character was handled was downright stupid.. Its like you kill kratos in the beginning of the game. They forced you to play as Abby(which obviously is the most boring character in this franchise). You could actually notice that they tried to make her gameplay more interesting with all the weapons and boss fights but failed miserably. After wasting more than 20-25 hours , you get a messed up and unsatisfying ending. Naughty dogs -just stick to uncharted franchise; that's all you are good for.

I am so disappointed in this game that I made an account simply to write out my frustration. This game left Ellie's character an empty husk (no personality, no growth, no change, nothing memorable) and the side characters weren't as developed as they should've. Even worst, the second half of the game is a waste of time and a total insult to the fans and its world. Instead, Naughty Dog spent the entire second half of the game insulting the main characters and demonizing them unjustly while trying to pass of the villains as some morale judges who are right in every decision they make. Instead you should have used the second half to develop Tommy further or given us more context into the whole Ellie/Joel/ Dina relationship.

    That is my whole problem with the game. I don't care about politics, LGBTQ+ controversies. I am not insulted by any of that, I just hate the way the story was developed and how I regret wasting my time speedrunning the second half.

What really matters are the people who actually play and care about it. Really disappointed in overall gameplay and storytelling. This is clearly not what the latter part of people wanted. Will not even bat an eye on this series again.

    Good mechanics. But you play very little in the game the game. Few enemies. Very bad story. It feels like you are playing a game to include some type of people than a game made for gamers to enjoy a real story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first entry to the series was incredible. However, the sequel didn’t even come close to the bar it set. This game is littered with political propaganda that doesn’t fit the narrative that was originally laid out in the first game. To find out that a character we played as for a majority of the first entry, isn’t even playable... just to be replaced by a flat out unlikable character, feels incredibly disappointing. The visuals don’t mean anything if the plot is this mishandled by a company that once put themselves at the top of storytelling. Shame on the writers of this pile of trash. Expand

How to mess up a whole history that has been developed for many years in a couple of minutes. The game play, the graphics , places , characters, and everything was perfect for me , but it’s hard to see how you can mess a game so much just changing the merely history , just for that , all the hard work of animators , creators and more stuff comes to the trash just for a bad ending and I wasn’t expecting it to be a happy ending , but either the worse ending I have ever seen , I might not be able to understand the true meaning to this ending but for me it was crap, I tried to defend this game from a long time but after this, all that I can say is “ buy it if you want to spend some couple of hours enjoying a good gameplay and not caring about the history then buy it . But if you are looking for a master piece history then please make your self a favor and don’t buy it Expand

BUT the way the story is paced out for being a sequel, and having the excruciating weight of high expectations, it was a no show. From playing the first game and enjoying it by playing it 5 more times. This sequel does not have replay-ability. As soon as the game ended I did not care to go back and beating it in the hardest difficulty, I did not care to go back and 100% the game. It was a done to done put the game down and go enjoy another game type of deal. As I would always tell my friends when it came to fan favorite movies, animes, and books. A good story has to have an impactful plot, it can come in a character death, in character development, or as a reader gather more points to the story to make it whole. In this game they went with deaths. The character they chose for deaths very agreeable into which ones would be more impactful. Now the way it’s executed is a different thing. This game did not do a good job in pacing out their “impactful plot points”. Throughout my gameplay I deeply felt the story was moving too quick. So when it came to the games impactful moments it didn’t feel like they were the main characters, it didn’t feel like those were the characters all the people cherished. It truly felt like some side character who you just met and died at the end of that journey. Even Henry and his little bother from the first game was more impactful than the main characters who died this game.
    Enough about story plot, I’m going to get to my point. I was truly disappointed in how it all turned out, I wanted this game for the longest. I was sitting impatiently waiting for the moment for TLoU2 to come out since it was announced to only get..... this.

The thing is, I can play this game and skip every cutscene (after first playthrough) because I don’t really care about the story. The story isn’t as great as it could have been, it had potential. The writing isn’t as good, the character development is poor for new and existing characters. Old characters like Joel, Tommy and Ellie (ESPECIALLY Joel) are written very out of character with ridiculously poor excuses as to why they’re written out of character. Joel was treated like some random NPC. Abby is okay, I want to like her. But she’s too forced and thrown into your face. I hate pretty much everybody on her “team,” Owen, Mel - gosh I really hate Mel, etc. Yara and Lev were fine. But the whole Abby + Yara and Lev felt very.... well, forced. I love the new shambler and rat king. I absolutely adore the more intelligent AI. This story could have been much better though, but it just didn’t pan out well. Also, the HUGE amount of false advertising in every single trailer basically telling us it’s about Ellie, and that Joel will be embarking on this new revenge journey with Ellie because he “won’t let her do this on her own.” Lots of lying, and it’s disgusting that Naughty Dog would lie to that degree just to make money off old long time fans. Unfortunately, the problem is that they wanted this game to be about “hate” and I guess they did such a good job that people literally hate the game lol. Jokes aside, I will still replay the game, but it certainly won’t be for the story. Expand

If in the levels for Ellie you get at least some pleasure from the game (due to the storyline with Dina and love for Ellie since Part 1), then the levels with Abby are just torture. I remember that I was just waiting for this horror to end and the game would return me to Ellie. The ending is ... You know, I never cried like that from disappointment. This game is dead for me.

Naughty Dog, Los héroes no mueren, cuando vieron a Nintendo matar a Mario o a Zelda, la gallina de los huevos de oro no se mata, Rockstar lo hizo con su vaquero: pero antes nos presentó el reemplazo y nos hizo amigos de él y el cambio no se sintió.. AMC lo hizo con Rick pero la serie de zombies perdió su gran audiencia. No es por homofóbia, no es por dañar el excelente trabajo de gameplay y producción, es por acabar con el héroe de la pantalla de los últimos años, el más humano, el más real, el más cercano. Lo llevaron a un nivel tan alto de entrada, que eliminarlo tan pronto fue un error. En esta sociedad moderna donde los lideres políticos, dañan su imagen robando, donde los sacerdotes son acusados de abuso, donde no hay valores, donde hay poca fé, quitarnos el gran héroe no es un acto de valor si no una cobardía, el juego puede ser técnicamente muy bueno, pero la historia es una mordida de infectados en el cuello.

The gameplay is almost entirely the same, so it’s an easy transition from one game to the next with a few surprises. The playable flashback scenes with Joel and Ellie are *chef’s kiss*.

    It was like Neil Druckman hates Joel and Ellie and spent the last 5 years writing a story to make you feel the exact same. If you're looking for an amazing story, then look literally anywhere else. Not only does the SJW propaganda completely encompass parts of the story for no reason, it adds no value to the empty shell of a story. If half of this game were its own entry to the series without the strange introduction, I might even love it. But I don’t because it’s artistic eliteist nonsense. Please don’t play this game

    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.
