    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There were good points in the game which i loved, flash backs with ellie and joel. But it was too much of a disrespect to the player to let you go through such **** Ruining the beloved characters, that you will wish that this was all a **** dream and never happened. I was really hoping that my anger with the antagonist(or maybe the protagonist after all) will subside as the story progress. Turns out i did not give a **** about her and i just want joel back.… Expand

    Amazing graphics, lighting, level design..
    Story is utterly disgusting. Characters lost all their charm, intelligence and personnality.
    ND just threw an overload of free violence and tell us we are supposed to feel bad. Watch how this game will be used to justify "videogame violence" afterward. I feel bad for half the studio who was shut down for speaking up against this piece of crap on    Amazing graphics, lighting, level design..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to put 4 only because of the game play and graphics, those 6 point literally get destroyed by a disgusting story. I will start talking about game play, the combat and interacting with the world are really good, really feels like being there but the looting and constant walking only to add more to the game time is really lame. The graphics are beautiful, not much to say and finally the story, killing the most important character in the franchise in 2 hours of game play is pretty stupid. Joel was one of the most likable and relevant character in the entire gaming community, he was loved by a lot of people, and he gets killed by an unreal unknown woman, yes unreal because you just can't grow those muscles in a apocalypse and its not the only thing about Abby, the developers even want us to play the most hated character in the game for half of the game. Absolute bull***t. Not to mention how annoying and boring were most of the scenes about her story. And the finale, Ellie becomes insane and doesn't even kill Abby. Feels like the developers hate Joel and Ellie. If there is going to be a part 3 (doubt it) i heavily hope it will have the spirit of the first game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to go into this review and just say… What happened? How do you mess up a story this much to the point you don’t even understand what’s going on? The story is horrible, its starts off by killing Joel and you play as the killer for majority of the game while Ellie plots her revenge in the background. It’s literally the equivalent of in your favorite show if mid-way through the season if some random person comes in and kills off the main character and replaces him/her. So much stuff just randomly happens that doesn’t make sense or is ever explained. Like many times through the game you get into these big moments and you think something is going to happen for it to just randomly stop or be interrupted without explaining anything! Why did you guys stop fighting? Why are we here now? Where is this? It’s so choppy you don’t even get to process what is happening. They went from this great story telling to just figure it out yourself. Graphics, game play, voice acting are amazing but the story is what needs to carry the game and it just wasn’t there.… Expand

    the story of this game is completely garbage, the fact that this is supposed to be a story based game yet the story itself is the worst thing about it is why its just not worth it. The 2nd half where you play as Abby is trash as she's just an unlikeable character all around which doesn't make the game fun. Also wtf was that ending?

I’ve honestly never been more insulted by the in game narrative choices made on my behalf. There are humans on this planet that behave like the characters in this game. Clinical psychologist’s categorize them as psychopaths. Rational people just do not behave this way, including the "supposedly complex" characters in this game; Naughty Dog simply drops them into the sewer to deliver forced brutality shock - again - and again. The scarcity of genuine and believable character development keeps TLoU2 floating in the sewer throughout. I’m not sure what the hell Naughty Dog was trying to do, but this game could just as easily have been called Postal 2. It failed to engage me on any level. Others are claiming that Last of Us 2 is a disservice to the established characters from the first game. I think this is too kind, The Last of Us 2 is a disservice to every character in the game - each one a mockery of humanity, and then overtly politicized which only heightens the mockery. Naughty Dog seems caught up in their own bubble of smugness, because very, very few people care if game characters are straight or gay; white, black, or blue; Human, Krogan, or Orc. But virtually every gamer does care that the characters fit the world, lore, environment, and narrative; virtually every gamer cares that the narrative is unique, engaging, and builds upon the established lore. Here, Naughty Dog simply takes a dump on the world. Yes the game looks great - but honestly, that’s expected for a AAA title. The game play is adequate - if just barely, which is expected from B level games. Given the ridiculous and insulting context of this game, I have no intention of “finishing” only to accentuate my level of disappointment. Perhaps Naughty Dogs next masterpiece will let you role-play as Eric and Dylan. This game has a single central pillar - Story - which fails badly - 2/10.… Expand

    Wanted to leave a real review. I stopped after the getting the gas at the dome and the other location. Visuals/Acting/Presentation is a 9/10.

    My problem is story and gameplay. The game plays like it's 2012, controlling Ellie feels like driving a tank. Between that, the close up camera and 20-30 FPS this game doesn't feel fun to play. I didn't have this problem with RE2, but maybe    Wanted to leave a real review. I stopped after the getting the gas at the dome and the other location. Visuals/Acting/Presentation is a 9/10.

    The story.....wow. I'll be nitpicky here but everything adds up. Starting minute 1, characters are low energy like their on melatonin or something. I get their setting a depressing tone, but there has to be someone that I like. They go into school drama with Dina kissing Ellie, but Ellies not sure, and Jessie dated Dina but he's cool with Ellie and Dina, but the bartender is a bigot, and on and on....it's torturous. You didn't give me a reason to care about these low energy, grumpy characters, why would I care about their relationships?

    They try to remedy that with Ellie and Dina's dialogue while progressing through the game but for some reason neither of them interest me. Their both kinda boring, corny jokes, just nothing interesting to say. It's weird because you'd think they'd have a lot of cool stories but they don't.

    The other character is a trainwreck, she's basically Sasuke in Naruto times 10. Not sure why I'm supposed to care about her.

    I think 4/10 is fair, maybe higher if you enjoy the gameplay. The story is a slog, pacing bad, unlikable characters, etc. Good set pieces and visuals but it's not worth it.    … Expand

    They completely deconstructed the main characters and plot. They add in characters that you will never care for and force you to play as one of them. This plot is by far the worse that naughty dog has ever done. Not a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It feels like an addon instead of a game. Without needing to spoil anything, it's an add-on where they decide to piss everyone off by killing some folks we care about. Remember The Force Awakens where Kylo kills Han? It's pretty much exactly like that. It feels like we're playing a fan made effort and the kids have decided to break all the toys simply because they can.

    The game is gorgeous, it really is. The problem is that it's so obsessed with discussing social topics that it feels like they forgot where the beauty was in the first one. The first one had more said by doing in silence than two characters ever really interacting. The giraffes come to mind - there is a sense of wonder and peace for a moment when the giraffes are found, and then the player can optionally interact with them which will cause some dialogue. Or you just ignore the giraffes. Or maybe you make the choice to observe them at a distance. The choice is ultimately the players about if they should talk or not, but the beauty is there and presented in silence.

    Somehow, this misses the point entirely. It feels rushed, which is strange considering how much time this spent in development. There was more in the scenes which was left unsaid than was said. And that problem carries forward to all the other aspects of this game. The social aspects are pretty much rammed down our throat. There no option not to simply "look at the giraffes" and instead we're forced to look. Instead of having a tender, caring moment in the presence of something we hold as majestic, we're forced to watch as two characters bang the crap out of each other instead of make love or enjoy each others presence. Frankly, the boat scene doesn't even make much sense, while we're calling this out. We go from a fistfight to... pretty much (forced?) anal sex. What happened? Is this rape? I was confused.

    The pacing problems hold fast through the rest of the game too. The formula holds almost entirely true of walk-shoot-talk and each encounter ends up blending into the next one. This isn't great - it means the locations are too generic and I stopped caring about the characters somewhere along the way. There's a lot of "pile of stuff" shootouts which occur along the way but aside of minor theme changes, they just aren't that interesting. But we have to do them anyway because the freedom like we had in the later part of the first game doesn't exist. Don't expect to sneak out of a tense firefight, you're going to kill everyone for dubious reward.

    Finally - who are these people? I definitely feel like characters are either foils and party favors or they're "developed", but that development is oftentimes contrived or feels forced or delusional. I don't really see how the moral choices for some of these folks have gotten them from A to B. Sometimes there's leaps of logic or faith which make me suspect I've missed some random clue somewhere I was supposed to find for a big reveal, or perhaps skipped some bit of talking by accident. While I don't really hate anyone for mindlessly killing someone I'm dear to from the first game, I don't love anyone either. It just feels like those Star Wars movies everyone tries to ignore. All the stageplay is there, but the writing is just bad.    … Expand

    I personally did not enjoy this game or learn any deep new messages. It was just brutal and painful and traumatic for a lesson i already knew. Play at your own risk, its not an enjoyable experience and left me feeling just empty and sad for what is left of a once loved character.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm gonna put this review in 3 parts. First why and what I enjoyed about the first part of 'The Last of us", then a general review without any spoilers, and lastly a full review with spoilers.

    The Last of Us part 1 is still the best game that I have ever played in my entire life. What did I love about it? The characters, the interactions between them, the development of their relationships. The game made me tear up in the intro! Like 15 minutes into the game. The whole game was a journey and every second of it felt impactful and like it actually mattered. The gameplay was good, but not the most important factor and probably the 'worst' part about the game. If I would rate the individual aspects of the game in numbers out of ten it would look something like this:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Storytelling: 10/10
    Characters: 10/10
    Sound: 10/10
    Setting: 10/10
    Gameplay: 8/10

    Now to The Last of us Part 2: Let's start with the positives. The world looks gorgeous, especially for a ps4, they got everything out of that console, no doubt. The soundeffects are still amazing and I felt absolutely immersed in this post apocalyptic world. The gameplay remained mostly the same, just got a few improvements compared to the first part. You could argue the gameplay is outdated but to me that was fine.
    Unfortunately, this is where the negatives start. The game's pacing felt off. Some parts were completly rushed, some parts felt like a drag where everything felt like a big 'side quest' without really getting anywhere.
    The storytelling was all over the place, characters did not act consistent, character interactions and development was weird. They did not make a good job with the new characters, I did not care about most of them. Some cutscenes did not make any sense and the story felt forced.
    This whole game felt more like a huge 'message' to and about our society than a video game. I don't mind a message/meaning behind a game. Something to think about. But it was delivered very poorly. And thats the reason I don't understand the Metascore.

    This is where the spoilers start, so be warned.

    The Last of Us 2 starts out really nice, giving some backstory to what happened in the first part and introducing some new characters. It takes about 2 hours until the 'big thing' happens. 2 hours where you get reintroduced into the game. In the first part, it took Naughty Dog 15 minutes to get the player emotionally attached to Sarah and 'care' about her.
    In this game, they take about 2 hours(!) to kill Joel, the main character of the first game and it still felt rushed. Nothing led up to it. It just happened. Joel was one of my favorite video game characters ever. And I did not feel a thing. I was just shocked and disappointed in Naughty Dog. Like, I knew Joel was gonna die in this game. But that was just really low effort...

    What's next? Ellie wants revenge and goes after Joel's killer. But instead of putting the emphasis on that, we get a plain love story about Dina and Ellie. Distracting from everything else! Now, I don't care if it's Male/Female, Male/Male, Female/Female or Human/Stuffed Animal. But if I want a love story about some 'horny teenagers' I'm gonna play something else, or watch a movie about that. There's also 2 sex scenes in this game that felt completely out of place. They just added them to add them. They didn't do anything for the story, and just felt awkward.

    So Ellie and Dina spend 3 days in Seattle. At the end of day 3 we finally get a standoff with Joel's killer, Abby. What happens next? We have to play Abby, the person that tortured and killed Joel, for 10(!!) hours worth of gameplay. 10 hours of Naughty Dog trying to make you like this character. But they are trying way too hard, a lot of it felt off, weird and just wrong. It did not work for me, I still dislike this character.
    Personally, I hated every second of it. I get the message: Ellie and Abby are 'the same'. Neither of them is evil, nor entirely good. Blah blah blah...
    Naughty Dog deceived (And it was intentional deception, they admitted it!) the players by making you think Ellie and Joel are gonna be the main characters again. And all of a sudden this new character is 'the main guy'.

    So you have to play 3 ingame days of Abby and everything you did felt like a big sidequest and had nothing to do with anything. It was just trying to make you like her. In the end she finds her friends dead, killed by Ellie. She is able to hunt them down because Ellie, Tommy and Jesse (A new guy) left the map on the floor. Which is just sooo out of character. Okay, Ellie just killed a pregnant woman and was in shock. But Tommy would NEVER leave the map. Just one example of the many character flows.
    Then you are forced to beat the hell out of Ellie, as Abby.
    2 hours of gameplay later you beat the hell out of Abby, as Ellie and in the end? No one dies. Ellie just loses everything.

    I wanted to write even more but 5000 characters limit.

When I'm watching the last episode of game of thrones I was having a mental breakdown like the hell break lose I was sad and angry at the same time I was asking my self What happened to my beloved complex multi layer characters what happened to deep meaningful surprising rational storyline I can't believe what I have witnessed  with my eyes and This horrible feeling strike me today my beloved video game the characters that I loved so much over the years act so irrational the plot is antiqued and the gameplay stretched to 25 hour's and other characters is so tedious and boring as if they all end up dead u wouldn't care less The whole game gather around go from point a to point b And do it all over again Kill or bypass enemies and go to another location over and over again For Animations and visuals is top notch one the best in the industry but we don't play last of us for gameplay or geraphics we play it because we so attached to character and it's cruel world and beautiful well thought written story and deep humen relationships but the story here is horrendous Ellie keep making so many irrational decisions that makes my head hurts  she is so unbelievable selfish it feels like I'm watching game of thrones mother of dragon last season all over again Whole thing is so cringy and super clishe revenge story.  last of us 1 storyline was unique you see the beauty and ugliness in this world and character's interaction and decisions all makes sense but here in last of us 2 nothing makes sense and storyline are full of Holes and leave my questions in the air.
    conclusion: I'm not bios and I'm not following any company politics like many big reviewers are . the hype will not affect my judgment. for me last of us 1 is the best game I've ever played in my life so
    Because of previous game ((last of us and left behind)) last of us 2 is a huge game and huge drawback to the series and this game should not exist.    … Expand

    Let me start by saying that I purchased the TLOU (PS3), TLOU:Left Behind (PS3) and even TLOU: Remastered on PS4, because of what a masterpiece the original game truly was. The story, graphics & animation, audio & voice acting, character development and gameplay all contributed to many playthroughs that also made me commit to my 1st Platinum trophy in the PSN.

    As you may have guessed, I    Let me start by saying that I purchased the TLOU (PS3), TLOU:Left Behind (PS3) and even TLOU: Remastered on PS4, because of what a masterpiece the original game truly was. The story, graphics & animation, audio & voice acting, character development and gameplay all contributed to many playthroughs that also made me commit to my 1st Platinum trophy in the PSN.

    As you may have guessed, I pre-ordered TLOU2 (Collector's Edition) and avoided the leaks, spoilers and reviews until I had completed the game. And now I understand all the hate and anger. Aside from technical improvements (graphics, level designs, animation, audio, etc.), TLOU2 fails miserably in its promise of a revenge theme that was highly marketed by the company and the media. And for those "professional critics" that argue that it's a subset of fans that don't like the game's progressive direction or acceptance of LGBT is absurd. It has nothing to do with that. As I mentioned earlier, I even purchased TLOU:Left Behind which clearly established Ellie's sexual orientation and it did not hinder me, a 35 yr old straight male, from enjoying the DLC because the prequel's storyline, gameplay and LGBT characters felt right at home in the survival pandemic world.

    ****** Spoiler Alert ******

    In the 2nd half of TLOU2, we get introduced to a new LGBT character (Lev) experiencing gender dysphoria within a community. Lev's background story with the Scars could've worked perfectly but Naughty Dog made a poor decision by pairing him with the character that everyone despised (Abby) and was forced to play with. It's also ridiculous to believe that these two characters would trust each other rather so quickly and willingly considering the history between their rival factions. I would've rather had Lev as an ally that worked alongside Ellie on her revenge tour. Needless to say, the general plot is unfathomable and fragmented into different timelines reminiscent of Westworld (which was probably suggested by Halley Gross) but is poorly executed with pacing issues. The characters and the supporting cast were uninteresting and remained weak throughout the game as many of them make inexplicable decisions or choices. This all traces back to the the beginning where Abby just so happens to run into Joel and Tommy. The mere fact that Joel (and Tommy) would help a complete stranger and follow back to her base to be killed so easily disrespects the intelligence of players and true fans of the original TLOU. We spent countless hours playing as Joel who was a rugged smuggler, shrewd survivor and proficient killer but never a schmuck. Naughty Dog's lazy team of writers then decides that both Tommy and Ellie's lives are spared after their encounter with Abby just so they can conveniently advance the game's plot for revenge. It's inconceivable in a prey or be preyed survival world that Abby's crew would allow having any loose ends that may set up for their own demise later down the road.

    And that's it. It's that simple. The storyline is disjointed, pointless and unrealistic from the beginning to the end. Revenge doesn't just slip from your fingers, the developers force you to give up, crying in a fetal position while you let your nemesis escape freely. And the nerve of them have a New Game+ is beyond me. I never wanted to finish a game so quickly so that I could resell my copy - and that is why you still buy physical (not digital) copies kids. After completing this frustrating journey, you are filled with nothing but depression, anger and disappointment. If this was what Naughty Dog and Neil Druckmann wanted fans to truly experience emotionally, then mission accomplished.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would accept Abby's tragedy if it (the tragedy and Abby herself) were revealed at least 10%. Everything is put through the ass and the plot is passed through the machine "here is our new character - love him because we said so. Don't like it? But how, she saves a girl and a boy! And look, she wants to be with Owen, but she can't! What a poor thing... Still not in love? But she had lost her father! How did she torture to death the man who saved her life? But he killed his FATHER!!! OOOOOOOOOO!!! There was such chemistry with him!!! How was it not? And the Zebra? ZEBRA ALSO!!!"
    When we start the game for Abby, we see how Danny is killed - one of her friends. Just 5 minutes later, she says, **** Danny, I would have shot him myself." Wow. This is empathy and empathy for the fact that your partner died. Mmmmm. Very cool.
    When Lev and his sister ask Abby why SHE's helping them, she CAN't EVEN answer. She mumbles something like "well, that's the way it should be... uh... well, you don't deserve this fate... uuuuu" and that's it. No logic. It does these things because the game's creators made it so. And let's remember what Abby said in response to Ellie saying that her friend Dina was pregnant? Abby said, "okay!" and if it hadn'T been for the LION, Abby would have killed a pregnant Dinah and never experienced any feelings of regret or any other human emotion.
    And about the terrorist organization - in a conversation with Owen, Abby says that people are to blame for joining the organization to "scars" and undermine roadblocks and kill people. In response to Owen that the Cicadas did the same thing, Abby says, "WELL, that's different!!! WE WERE NAIVE!!!!!". So when Abby and her friends kill people and blow up roadblocks, it's OKAY, but when others do it, it's bad. Cool. It is not a terrorist organization that even in the first part of the explosion in the city caused a stir, commotion and terror. What about the fact that GEOL saved Abby not just from death, but from a fate far worse than death. If it wasn't for Joel, Abby would have been eaten alive, and even if and fate is far worse than death. If it wasn't for Joel, Abby would have been eaten alive, and even if she wasn't, she would have been bitten 1000% and would have turned into one of the zombies, which is much worse, and throughout both games we saw how people preferred suicide instead of transformation. But Abby doesn't think for a second about not torturing Joel, but at least giving him A quick death. No, Oh nooooo. She tortures him with a special passion. When she is saved by 2 "scars", for some reason she decides to help them. Oh, Yes, let'S remember why. Because she HAD a DREAM! SLEEP, CARL! SHE JUST HAD A ****ING DREAM. And SO IMBUED that I went to the back of the hospital, almost died 2 times to get medicine. Wow. This is a change of character. The BEST the KILLER "SCARS" for four years, SUDDENLY after the sex scene and the DREAM becomes dobrodruzny. The sudden rescue of two scars is not justified by anything other than the line-by-line message of the creators "LOOK! ABBY'S GOOD!!! BETTER THAN ELLIE!!!!! LOVE ABBY!!!!!!!!!!"    … Expand

Its the Walking Dead but the zombies have mushrooms on them and is packed with modern day politics. If you enjoyed the first game, believe that it deserved more content, expect to play the additional content with no hopes of closure to the mushroom zombie apocalypse, want to play a game that the mushroom zombies have become second fiddle to the human on human drama (such as sexual preference as opposed to are we going to be killed today by **** zombies), are into playable movies, and a game that like Duke nukem forever took way too long to come out and completely missed its hype train, beautiful graphics that are on par with every other ps4 triple a game, being mislead to think you will continue to play with the same character from the first game to find out you play 12 hours of the game as the man woman, and is riddled with plot holes: then this game is for you. Even still, its not worth $60. I stand strong with the "$1 per hour up to $60" law. And that includes replay hours. Its a 25-30 hour 4 part dlc that derails from the story and has been made into child's play thanks to the dodge button. Im actually pissed off that I had to delete Modern Warfare to install this. If you've ever played a Telltales game, then you know exactly what to expect in terms of gameplay. As for the "open world" aspect, please don't fall for that **** either. The biggest area you encounter is like a downtown area, and you can explore the surrounding buildings on set routes because most of everything is "blocked off" by rubble and clutter. The best way to describe this snooze fest is Telltales Walking Dead on Monster with mushroom walkers and a dodge button. In 16 hours of play time, you spend 3 of it in flashbacks. I haven't made it to the Abbey part, but I've heard its on par with playing as Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2 for the next 12 hours of the game. If you've played MGS2, then you understand and appreciate that comparison. Get gamefly, borrow it off a friend, or wait for a price drop. They've lifted the ban on returning the game, and those that haven't destroyed their physical copies are returning it already, in waves. Play it for yourself and find out. It truly is a spectacle, if youre not a gamer. If you are a gamer, its just another boring game. Keep your politics out of our games, its where we go to escape your politics :)… Expand

    Оригинал козырял предсказуемым сюжетом, псевдонаучной завязкой, нереалистичными ситуациями, нарушениями законов собственного лора, невнятными взаимоотношениями главных героев(хотя для развития, прости Император, сюжета бандюки-каннибалы сделали больше, чем дедок с девчонкой, впору называть их главными) и бессмысленной концовкой с явным заделом на сиквел, но эффект новизны и закат актуального поколения консоли вытягивали эту Дракмановскую шизофрению со дна. Время выхода первой части говорит само за себя - дополнительное спихивание устаревающей пс3 и форсирование продаж пс4 за счёт ремастера "лучшей игры прошлого поколения", и всё это за относительно небольшие средства, благодаря которым игра была признана "шедевром" сначала игрожурами, а затем и внушаемым сообществом.
    Продолжение представляет собой вторичность от вторичности в квадрате, поскольку по сути является криво раздутым длц для оригинальной игры. Попытка натянуть старых "героев" на глобус плохо написанной драмы с элементами унылой расчленёнки, ради и вокруг которой, собственно, игра видимо и затевалась. Ну и ради поиметь пару раз бабла с фанатья, само собой. Если у вас нет вкуса и критического мышления, то эта игра однозначно для вас.
    Но отдельного упоминания заслуживают Сони и мракобесие с рецензиями на их продукты, которые имея достаточное количество бабла и армию фанатиков без собственного мнения, формируют это самое мнение задолго до выхода любой своей игры посредством игровых сми и "блогеров", а апофеоз абсурда происходит за несколько дней до релиза с выставлением на порядок завышенных оценок от одобренных изданий с упором на "невероятный и эмоциональный" сюжет и "проработанных" героев. Ваши языки, игрожуры, уже давно глубоко застряли в гузне Сони и им подобных. Вас можно понять - деньги, выставки, коллекционочки, ранний доступ, инсайды - всего этого издатель легко может вас лишить, суди вы об их играх объективно и справедливо. Печально наблюдать отсутствующее самоуважение, а также растущий с каждым годом уровень деградации игроков и игростроя, поддерживаемый ради сверхприбылей с помощью манипуляций в сми и небольшого, в рамках бюджетов подобных проектов, бабла.
    Время всегда всё расставляет по своим местам, как уже было с целой плеядой издателей, когда зашкаливающий уровень халтуры просто невозможно игнорировать и фекалии начинают переливаться через край. Для Сони первые капли уже упали.    … Expand

    Now for the negatives.
    First but not foremost are the gameplay mechanics. They are similar to the first game, which had decent enough game mechanics. Unfortunately, the mechanics in this game are actually a slight downgrade. Close combat is this formula: Square. L1. Square. L1. Square. L1. Repeat this ad nauseum on the hardest difficulty to win every engagement. The shooting mechanics were never that strong to begin with in the first game, and the fact they're ever so slightly clunkier in a newer game is more damaging than it would have been if this was the first entry in the series. You are supposed to IMPROVE, not regress. Collecting equipment is ultimately a waste of time, as the final encounter is just the aforementioned garbage melee combat mechanics, and your resources are reset each time you switch characters... which brings me to the REAL problem I have with this game.

    THE STORY.
    Holy bajeezus. The plot is all over the place. This game has no understanding of narrative cohesion. The idea of proper character setups and plot arc payoffs are utterly alien to whoever the writers on this game were. This is not Naughty Dog's first narrative abortion, the first being Uncharted 4, but this is by far on a level beyond anything I've yet to encounter in a major AAA title since Mass Effect 3's hot garbage of a plot. The deaths of numerous characters is not even remotely my problem, because if so, I would never have fallen in love with Game of Thrones. Instead, it's about the narrative cohesion: There isn't any. You leap from one narrative to an entirely different one midway through. The hamfisted efforts the plot makes from then out to get you to like a bunch of people you've already put in the ground and its blatant desire to get you to feel bad for them is ruined by the plot's structure. If the events had been re-ordered, maybe it would've worked... but it doesn't.
    But worse than that? It's the CONTRIVANCES. Every...single...major...plot point...is born from an absurdly convenient contrivance. Events transpire in the most laughably coincidental ways to get the writers' story to go the way they want it, and none of it comes from any organic story-telling. It's garbage. Hot f**king garbage. It is a mangled abortion of a script and Neil Druckmann should be ashamed of himself for directing such a schizophrenic mess of a story. And when the entire purpose of the game is to put forward a story over every other element, including gameplay? Well then you get judged based on your story, and this one S U C K S.    … Expand

If you noticed, every positive review is along the lines of "I don't understand the hate. I'm 2 hours in and I'm loving it." The reason for so many dislikes is because the second half of the game is all based on an unlikeable character that feels like torture. It's so incredibly boring followed by one of the worst endings I've ever seen. The ending might appeal to some with a message of forgiveness but that's not what we came here for.

    The game is literally called "The Last of Us PART 2" implying it's connected to the first game. Spending half the game as a character many dislike just to let them get away is awful. You don't play Super Mario Bros expecting a goomba to be the main character. That doesn't make it edgy or unique, it just makes it silly and against what the fans wanted. Imagine the goomba beating the crap out of Mario's family and Mario goes for revenge. Mario finally catches him and lets him go.

Any poignancy TLoU2 tried to have on its fresh take of vengeance is lost in the pure fact that Ellie is forced to kill countless people in the pursuit of her vengeance on Abby, which in the end is moot.

    With that in mind and TLoU2's absolute shoddy judgement of what revenge can do, along with repercussions of past sins, you can expect, I'm sure, an onslaught of sequels and DLC to follow each characters off-spring all seeking vengeance on Ellie John Wick 2 style.

    The graphics look great, although nowhere near the best. The technical aspects of the game and animations absolutely shine. The gameplay is aged, not that far different from the first, and not an improvement on similar games like Tomb Raider.

    Story is a middle finger to the first game.

    This game is more of a 5/10 but rated it 0 in response to the deluge of perfect 10's people are giving it and the blind-sided media bias to give the game perfect scores. Less than a handful of score based reviews have actually critically reviewed the game and have instead opted to champion progressiveness at the expense of shining a light on its shortcomings. It begs to question if this game was not as inclusive as it is (and therefore in need of protecting) how earnestly reviewers would have been in regards to the games glitches, dated gameplay, insult to characters and the fans of those characters, and the pretentious plot which has been done to death in much better ways.

    What's worse is the media campaign to silence the voices of the FANS who care about these things, and instead to paint a huge brush over everyone is some sort of phobe or russian bot. It's not okay for fans to be disgruntled at a game and give low scores, but it would have been perfectly fine for the cowardly media (don't want to be blacklisted or to be seen as going against progressiveness!) to spew 10/10's all over the place without any questioning as to why?    … Expand

For the sake of this agenda, it even killed a very loved character in a very hateful way. After finishing the game, I wish I haven't played it to preserve just TLOU1 in my memory.

    Controls seem to lag although that might be because I'm playing in 4k It's not true to the original and there's large plot holes and the graphics are downgraded from the trailers they might as well have just made a different game since most characters look so different than the first part,.

    Just finished the game coupe days ago, didn't spoil me before the release ... as a fan of the first game I really can't like this one and that's so sad and upsets me. There are some decisions were made which I do not understand. The greatest strength of this franchise is now the biggest weakness. The story has a lot of plot holes and it's simply not good. The gameplay still stuck in the year 2013.

    Script terrible, besides the gameplay are great. The thing is that, FOR ME, the story is essential. I play games just for the story, so I can't like this game even if have good graphics. I was waiting more cleverness in the script.

Game play is roughly the same with minor additions. The overall game is hours upon hours long. Level design is fantastic, doesn't feel like a straight line from A to B despite the levels being linear. Some of the voice acting is near-perfect, convincing & humorous . The fine amount of detail in every little thing from the sound of your foot steps, the sounds the clickers make, your victims, etc. is highly impressive! It's clear a lot of hard work was put into this game to make it look, sound and feel like a masterpiece.

    CONS: This story-driven game lacks a story and was not thought out well - it feels like the people who made this never played the first Last Of Us! The infected/zombies take a back seat which is a huge disappointment! The characters act out of character in major ways. Unrealistic character aspect in a post-apocalyptic world. Some of the characters you come across aren't exactly relatable or likable, others are just boring and don't stand out. Some of the dialogue is boring, cringe-worthy and pathetic. A plot hole around every corner. The overall message the game is trying to send is somewhat lost 3/4 of the way through.

    If you're a Last Of Us fan I'd recommend playing it....just wait for a price drop/sale or rent it.
    However, as a fair warning.... I'd advise to NOT step into this game with the first Last Of Us in mind or thinking it as a Last Of Us sequel. Best way I can explain that is by saying The Last Jedi wasn't really a Star Wars movie and you shouldn't approach it thinking it was going to be one. At least that's my personal opinion on the subject.
    Happy Gaming!

    EDIT: Originally I gave this a 4.... having just completed the game I have to drop it to a 2. Just plain awful story. Some parts are fun, the rest has this "okay, well I've already started it ....might as well finish it" feel to it.    … Expand

    Going into this game I was expecting part 2 of our story between Ellie and Joel. Instead, I got a completely generic Apocalypse story that has been done countless times in all forms of media. Not only that, but they completely disrespected the characters that we loved from the first, and replaced them with bleak, lazy, uninteresting characters.

    The story is nonsensical or badly executed and doesn't pay respect to what came before, many people who come solely for that are disappointed and rightly so. False advertising of ND didn't help either.

    This was a let down. This is absolutely not worth the price. The only good this game has to offer is the scenery and that's about it. The first one wasnt that bad either. When you wanna make a game woke maybe start it on a newer franchise. Dont ruin one that was currently doing well.

    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]
