    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, my critic isn't in ANY WAY directed to any aspect of gender as said so by many people who enjoyed the game. First of all, adressing the story problems of "retconning", wich is directly affected by the character of Joel, that dies very early in the game (problematic in this sense and also on the fact that Naughty Dog has put scenes with him in the trailer, but in the final product is another character), making the way for the entire plot of Ellie's revenge. The story by itself is pretty weak and cliché, but could at least had some more convincing end. For example a very simple way of fixing the end: Both Abby and Ellie getting captured and they are forced to work with each other to escape the enemies, and then later, have the very same ending. Why? Because this would at least make more sense for Ellie's internal emotional conflict. Gameplay-wise it's kinda ok, nothing changed that much from the first one but at least I could see some improvements on the AI and map exploring (it's a little bit bigger if compared), but again, nothing really changed. I expected more from Naughty Dog, this is the first time that they are doing something more 'risky', but at least I waiting for something more convincing. Huge congratulations for the team that worked on the engine, as well the animations, sound design, voice and acting. Sadly I can't say the same for the writing. 4/10. Expand

    TLOU Part 2: "How bad do I smell"
    Fans: "like a hot pile of garbage"
    They spent 6 years creating this game, but how much time did they spend writing the story? Two hours? The plot is as bad as the scrapped initial version of fanfic written by a depressed teenager.

    The Last of Us Part II could be a pretty good game, but Naughty Dog didn’t give a damn and trample what the players in the first part loved (you lived and empathized with the main characters), and now you don’t understand why this is happening on the screen. Disappointment, resentment, anger - this is what this game will give you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I find it hilarious that people who complain about alleged "Reviews bombing" post reviews here that say nothing about the quality of the game and even admit that they only rate it to go against others and to manipulate the score, but whatever...

    Tlou2 hast good graphics and gameplay like its predecessor, its sound Design ist formidable, like its predecessor, and its really good at creating tension, like its predecessor. And here begin the problems, even for the stuff that's good there just isnt an awful lot of improvement compared to the original.

    Tension ist good, but where the first game switched between light and dark moments, adding contrast and therefore amplifying the emotional effects, Tlou2 for good parts, especially towards the end, is just all dark and the missing contrast makes you go numb rather than keeping you on the edge..

    However it is the story where things just fall apart, ND tries to convey the message that "vengeance is bad", which is cliche af and everyone already knew, but hey. They try to drive this home by splitting the game into a part where you play as Ellie from the first game and a part where you play as Abby, a new charakter who is introduced to us by means of her smashing Joels head in. And then they try to make you feel sympathy towards her... Yea, it just doesnt work.
    See, questioning the purpose of the fight and the status of the "villain" by making you play as him worked in Assassin's Creed 3 because you played as Kenway BEFORE being told that he was a templar. It made you question the evilness of the Templars by showing you that they believed themselves to be doing the right thing, because you believed yourself to be in the right while playing as him.
    Tlou2 introduced Abby by having her kidnap, torture and kill a fan favourite character from the first game and then makes you play as her going all "yea she has reasons and you should like her", well guess what it doesnt work. Matters arent helped by her being an unlikable ****
    It could have worked if they had put her part in the beginning of the game, having you hunt down her fathers killer without knowing who that is, and then after revealing it switching to Ellie, but the way it is it completely fails at what it sets out to do and the Abby Part is just dreadful to go thru as you have to play a charakter you despise.

    So the Story begins rather well, then turns to trash then gets somewhat better again and then culminates in an extremely unsatisfying ending. Glorious. And I paid money for that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the biggest freak in the history of the gaming world, first of all I want to make it very clear that I PLAYED the game, I AM NOT an Xbox fanboy and I AM NOT a bot, I would NEVER in my life imagine living this moment to see the company that I loved doing this with the fans themselves, INCOMPETENCE from beginning to end, Neil Druckmann you are NOT a god of game writing as you think you are, respect the fans, this game is made for them and not for you and your ideologies, Halley Gross you DO NOT serve to script a game, get out because you already destroyed a gigantic franchise and we don't want any more tragedy, unfortunately on June 19, 2020 we didn't just experience the death of Joel, a character we love so much and who dies in a ridiculous way, with the character taking actions that do not fit his personality, but also marks the beginning of the fall of ND, at least with the grotesque direction that the studio has been taking recently, I don't even know where to start with this bomb, on the technical side, it is undeniable the talent of the developers that the studio can be proud to say that they are part of, the visual quality is the best alongside Red Dead Redemption II that I have seen, the quality of sound is also excellent, the audio design of the shots, the breaking glass, the rain is exceptional, all this with the arrival of the new generation of consoles, will be overcome in a short time, what will remain in the future is the narrative, the gameplay follows the same scheme as the first game, without much innovation, but the game is so long and drawn out that after a few hours everything starts to getting tiring, , but none of that is what marks in narrative titles like this, but of course, the story, and my friends, is UNBELIEVABLE something as poorly written as the script for this game coming from a super developer and a super production of millions and millions of dollars, it is UNACCEPTABLE, it is disrespectful to the fans of the first game, HUNDREDS of HOLES of script, I will mention some of them here as an example, Ellie traveling around the USA twice after revenge and in the end giving back? Did she kill a rattlesnake coldly 10 minutes before forgiving the person who took everything from her life? Did Jesse and Ellie abandon a pregnant woman feeling sick inside a theater despite the 1 billion bills Ellie finds from people who died waiting for rescue? Couldn't they take her to Jackson and continue the hunt afterwards like the Abby who waited 4 years for her revenge? Did the pregnant Dina fall from a height of 5m, 6m and continue the journey normally? Abby let Ellie and Tommy live? Did it not occur to her that they could come after revenge in the same way that she herself did? Forcing us to feel something for Abby, that she has friends and such and a few hours later she kills dozens of WLF that the game itself tries to pass that are her friends? Yara having surgery with equipment that had been abandoned for 24 years and after half an hour getting into all the dirty Seattle water? What's the point for Lev and Yara to save a wolf? Why does Abby risk her life to get this equipment from the hospital for a seraph, since Joel, who saved her life, was not only content to kill, but also to torture? The convenience of Joel's script finding and saving Abby? Jesse dying worse than any NPC in the game? Tommy getting shot in the face and then showing up alive? Mel pregnant with a bigger belly than Dina's and normally participating in WLF activities, jumping, climbing, killing seraphites while Dina can't even move after a certain part of the game? Why did you try so hard to pass that Joel was a villain? Is Jerry the reincarnation of Jesus Christ who never did anything wrong in his life? Lev to go back to his camp even though he knew his mother wouldn't support him and Abby to go after him knowing about the war that was going to happen? Why wasn't Ellie's immunity exploited in this game? Where's any reference to characters like Sarah, Tess, Bill, Henry, Sam, even David? Wouldn't it be magical to have a scene of Joel taking Sarah to the park before the whole outbreak started? What did Joel do throughout his 20 years until he found Ellie? You DESTROYED ALL of the characters in the first game, MISCHARACTERIZED ALL of them, Joel and Tommy never let their guard down for an armed stranger the way it was, Ellie was a happy and outgoing girl now she looks depressed and distant, the feeling is that she would commit suicide at the end of the game, was that the intention? Tommy would never act like that **** with Ellie, they even separed Tommy and Maria, unfortunately it was 7 years of waiting and a game that SHOULD NOT EXIST, for me and for thousands this game is not canonical and it never will be, Abby is a PSYCHO, WE DO NOT LIKE HER and NO WE WANT TO PLAY WITH HER, very sad for ND and especially for her employees who worked EXCESSIVELY in a game as badly scripted as this one.

Shame, the game doesn't utilise it in best way possible - first game had so much more to offer in enviromental puzzles and even the map design was much better too. In first hour or maybe little bit more, TLOU 2 pretend to have almost open world - and then it's at it's best. After that, it's only downhill.
    Graphics - oh well, that's amazing. Actually - that's the only good thing about this game. The quality of 3D mogels and textures is breathtaking... but man, those animations. If only anything else in this game had this quality!
    So let's get down to bussiness - aside from few annoying bugs, there is one glaring problem with this game. Story. The writing.
    THE ONE MAIN THING, that made TLOU 1 game of the generation.
    Writing in TLOU 2 is just bad. And I'm not talking about things people were "shocked" in spoilers and leaks. It's bad - yeah, THAT bad or even worse, because there is lot more sh*tting on game we all loved, than spoilers shown. But I mean also a writing all along the way is bearly ok. You can just feel, that people who crafted TLOU 1 with love ain't working on this one. It's like this game was written by someone with inferiority complex, who hated their predecesors and wanned to hurt them, by destroing their legacy.
    And people jump the wagon of hate because of minority depiction and so on. I don't care if Abby is trans or not, as well as I don't care if Ellie is gay or not. What I do care is poor writing choices, that forces you to do cruel things, just to imidietly scold you for it. It's seems like it was written by someone, whos biggest writing achivement up to date, was writing imaginary arguments with people who he didn't like, and winning with poor artificial arguments. Smartest things this game have to offer is "killing is bad", "revange is wrong". No shait Sherlock. You just killed hundreds to spew that idiotiy...
    In the end, I belive this game is biggest miss in Sonys history, worst game that Naughty Dog ever made. It really is as people call it - 8th season of GoT or Last Jedi of the franchise.
    It's a show of one poor actor that injected himself into the game (at least twice!), to show to whole world, that he have mental issues. And he do! But to be honest - he needs help, real help. Insted, someone gave him few million $ brand, to jugle with his own mental problems.
    To sum it up - if you like TLOU 1 = AVOID like a plague.
    If you never played TLOU 1 = why do you even bother?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 rides on a lot of goodwill from the incredible The Last of Us. Without that goodwill the hype would not be there. Unfortunately, I can't say that it has lived up to the hype.

    Everyone critic(Mostly paid shills) and most positive user scores(Of which mostly come from inactive accounts with only one review) are calling this game a masterpiece without any good reason and this is just BS.

    Graphics:Its stunning by all means even for PS4 standards. Character design however looked like ass.

    Voice acting: Again very good, nothing to complain about.

    Gameplay: Nothing to complain about. Its great, but nothing breathtaking or new.

    Story: What I can say is it’s far too long and structurally awkward. But it’s in the second half that this game really falls apart. There is a distasteful theme of underlying patronizing that makes the game feel like a 25 hour endeavor that only exists to tell players off.

    We are forced into performing certain actions we don’t want to do, only then to be admonished for doing so. Often these are contrived parts which compromise the integrity of the characters simply to facilitate certain plot points to get a desired reaction. As such they make decisions that are often fundamentally incoherent and illogical.

    The inconsistency of the treatment of certain characters performing the same actions during the second part is, at times, embarrassingly bad. The ending is a very good example of this it’s laugh out loud ridiculous in its lack of logic. The plot is clumsy, ham-fisted, and trite. Subtle this game is not and comes across as a series of cheap parlour tricks.

    Killing Abby was literally the whole point of the almost the entire game, sparing her made Ellie's journey just all the more pointless. One might argue that she did it because she knew that killing her wouldn't bring her back, but revenge isn't about bringing people back, but giving them justice.

    Ellie also killed dozens of people just to get to Abby, so she might as well have finished what she started, that way the ending would have had a greater impact. At the end, Ellie lost Joel, her father figure and closest thing she will ever have to a family, Jessie, Dina and Tommy threw in the towel on her and left, she got her 2 fingers bitten off, she lost her chance to avenge Joel and she can also no longer properly play Joels guitar anymore, the only memory she has left of Joel, forcing her to leave it behind.

    My Verdict: Everything that made the first TLOU special was just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    Some might compliment the games Graphics, Voice acting and Gameplay but have to remember that this is a Story driven game. In TLOU 2 case, it absolutely sucked in its core aspect, that being the Story.

    You can't judge a beat-em-up game for its graphics and story when the combos don't work and when it suffers from input lags.

    You can't judge a Strategie Game for its voice acting when it has anything to do with Strategy( Example being Command and Conquer Tiberium Twilight)

    You can not Judge a looter shooter for its Design and Graphics when the game is fundamentally broken. This was also the reason why Anthem failed and got ultimately axed in the first place.

    And lastly, you can't judge a Story driven game for its Voice acting, Gameplay and Graphics when the Story is utter crap.

    Most of the fake users here giving positive reviews can't even make a single convincing argument for the Story.

    What made the previous game special is just gutted out to the point of being disrespectful, leaving few positives in its place.

    I wouldn't be looking forward for a TLOU 3 considering that the majority of the devs behind this and the first game quit the studio due to the horrible working conditions and the abusive crunch that Naughty Dog put these people through. And frankly, im done with Naughty Dog as a whole.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm really disapointed with the game, of course the gameplay and graphics are amazing, but the story is so poorly driven, making me play with non carismatic characters like abby, she killed joel, and the game tries to force you to like and unserstand her, while ellie goes crazy **** killing pregnant women.

    The story would be a lot better with joel alive helping Ellie, on the last moment get revenge on Dina death, the game wanted to surprise, but it's not that what most people wanted to see, the first game is about hope, and a man who lost hes daughter and do everything to save another girl from everything and everyone, se second game feels empty, a journey without a purpose with the bad ending with Ellie not killing Abby.

    I'm feeling very bad for waiting so much time for a game and it's story ruining all the good points.

    This game is a complete destruction of the good impressions I have of TLOU (part 1).
    Unfortunately, many people gave money to Naughty Dog for this "master piece".
    I truly hoped that this game didn't sell well.
    Many people below have already given their opinion, so I just wanted to demonstrate how dissatisfied I am for playing this game.
    I hope this company goes bankrupt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is really destroyed by a poor story. They have used the old revenge story as a crutch to make a sequel instead of writing something interesting in the beautiful world they created. The killing of joel is a perfect example of trying to shoehorn a character into this game that has not earned their place and then being forced to play as that character is just insulting. They do not redeem themselves and instead come across as psycopathic. The ending is a big let down with no payoff. They think they are being clever by letting Abby go when in fact its just weak storytelling. The good are the graphics, which are beautiful. The voice acting is good. The game play is OK and though a step forward is not a huge step. I enjoy playing games as an escapist means to get away from the world. With this game too much of the world follows you in and makes it a tedious affair. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be fair and not give too much information, I will section this review. I will not go into the leaks or spoilers for the first part of the review. In the spoiler section, I will begin just by giving some notice regarding the leaks, in this way, in case you wanted to know whether the leaks were true or not, you can read that part and not go into the rest of the spoilers, in case you will still play the game.
    Context: I'm a big fan of the previous games from Naughty Dog and loved the Last of Us. I do understand that some might not enjoy that much the mechanics or find the movement and other things a bit obsolete compared to other games today. But in terms of story, I loved the first game, and was really hyped for the second game.
    When the leaks came out, I read them, was thouroughly dissapointed, but decided to give them a benefit of the doubt and I bought the game. There were so many mixed reviews, that I just thought: I want to make up my own mind about it.
    Review: To be fair to the game, I will have to split this into two parts. First, the gameplay is much improved. Having said that, if you did not like the gameplay in the first game, I'm not sure if the improvements will change your mind. It does control more smoothly and there are some improvements to how combat and traversing works. I loved the gameplay and thought that it was a good mix of improving it while still having it feel like the first one. If they ever make a third, I would hope it would feel more modern and quick in terms of responsiveness. The comparison was, though not as bad, I felt kind of clunky moving, like the first Batman in Arkham Asylum. At least I had a sense of that, when compared to how I expected Ellie to move when compared to experience in other games. Anyway, the combat and stealth were all very good, I like the set pieces I played through and it was good. I felt a bit more options this time around given that the spaces are bigger. I thought this was a welcome addition. The graphics are excellent. Not a single word other than that. Let's move to the second part then, the story: I hated every single piece of it. I find it completely disrespectful to the fans of the first game. Comparison I have heard of comparing this game to the last season of Game of Thrones or to the Last Jedi are accurate. I will delve more in the spoiler section, but let's just say that they threw out so much potential in story arcs and character development, just to get rid of our favourite characters, portray others in a dramatically incoherent way this time just to bend to their whim of what they wanted to tell as a story, included new characters that just did not capture me. I hardly cared for them. And when I did (in the sense of story decisions that I would obviously say: do this, the characters seem to not care themselves...) The game is so bad that I have just finished the first half and have no desire to continue playing. Yes, I've started into the second part, but (explained in the spoilers), I am sick and disgusted at naughty dog. I have decided to just wait for Angry Joe to do their twitch stream and I will watch the rest of the game instead of playing, I think it will be more cathartic for me that way. I can't stomach it otherwise.
    So, technically this game is as perfect as it could be for the end of this generation and being a continuation of the first game (technically). Storywise, it just poops on the fans and leaves us disgusted and asking how they, as a studio, could have stooped so low and thought this would be good. I recommend watching reviews that aren't positive to get an idea of what I'm talking, since here I will limit how much I will say. The writers try to come out as philosophical and in result actually just deliver a plot that no one wanted, about the relentless anger and revenge that not even their characters are able to make believable (so many opportunities to turn back), and poor, very poor character development... I couldn't care less.
    Spoilers: .........
    Yes, the leaks were true. The story begins by (after some intro), Joel and Tommy saving Abby (who has come to revenge her doctor father who died when Joel saves Ellie at the end of the first game). Yes, PGA tour Abby kills Joel in a gruesome way with a golf club and you are forced to watch. Yes, you play the second half as Abby but, as I mentioned above, I was so disgusted by this part, I had to stop. By the time they transition anyway, you already know the ending, and I've looked up that you do have to battle against Ellie as Abby.
    This story is sh*t. it is so uninspired. It brings nothing new to the discussion of violence or revenger. It is a soulless plagiarism of the first game, destroying the characters we loved (both Joel and Ellie). There are flashblacks that show a glimpse of what the game could have been. this is an empty shell. I regret buying. The writers did not care about the fans.

Thats where the good stuff ends...The story feels like its utterly motivated by all the wrong reasons. Its a mere vessel to throw identity politics at us and also spit in the face of beloved characters while doing so. Its hard to delve into anything without spoilering, but suffice to say i will not be giving naughty dog another dime after this. Ultimately a lesson in how NOT to treat beloved characters and the effect of awkwardly injecting identity politics into videogames. NOTHING good comes of it as it will ultimately never represent the majority(while never fully satisfying the moniroty its designed to appease) so you are alienating a vast core audience and all the while treating these beloved characters like dirt. Its not rocket science. This is a bait and switch series where they gave us a perfect tale in the first game only to use the sequel to try and sneak in a social justice success story...and it wont work. Other downsides are underdeveloped, unlikeable characters, awful pacing especially towards the end, map size thats big just for the sake of it losing the focus and pacing of the first game. I could go on but even writing about this failure of a game is a chore. Very poor naughty dog...so very poor. Amy hennig must be laughing at this and its taught a lot of people that mainstream game journo's/sites are nothing but mouthpices for large publishers/devs and simply cannot be taken seriously(if that wasnt already clear long before now).

Me termine el juego en 3 días , después de una paliza de 26 horas, y la verdad es que la historia no me gusto, no me compro un juego e invierto mi tiempo para pasarme todo la segunda mitad del mismo padeciendo (casi 12 horas), con ganas de que termine rápido o de tirar el mando a tomar por saco..., y El que lo haya jugado entenderá por donde voy, y ya del final ni hablar... :(

    También creo que nos han engañado con la publicidad que se hizo del juego, yo trabajo en ese medio y me parece nefasto el uso que han hecho dl mismo...

    Después, el resto del juego es espectacular, gráficamente sobre todo, tiene momentos únicos, las cinemáticas son geniales, al igual que las animaciones de los personajes también, pero la historia, a mí personalmente, no me gusto.

    Creo q The Last of Us merecía una secuela mejor y creo q la ausencia de Bruce Straley se ha notado mucho, el proyecto le quedo un poco grande a Neil Druckmann, en cuanto a guion y narrativa. Esa es mi opinión.

    por ejemplo tomáramos la silueta de cualquiera de ellos, todos parecerían silueta de hombre genérico (incluyendo los personajes que presuntamente son mujeres).
    Lo peor del caso es que estos problemas se quedan cortos en comparación con la terrible y francamente vomitiva narrativa que el juego presenta. Desde el principio y durante todo el juego el guión resalta mucho pero por lo absurdo que es. Los personajes siempre están diciendo **** o ****ing en todos y cada una de sus escenas. Y no es que uno se espante de las groserías pero después de escucharlas tan excesivamente los se vuelven ridículos y muy "cringe". La historia principal sigue todos los ciches que se podrían esperar del genero, aderezada de manera muy obvia con un mensaje pollito ultra-izquierdista. Llegando inclusive a niveles que harían incomodar hasta al más neutral de los jugadores.
    En conclusión es más que evidente que Sony y/o ND compraron reseñas perfectas para cubrir el fiasco que es este intento de juego.

The writing is very poor, much like Star Wars 8 and 9, where it is ok if you have no context of what’s going on but for the fans it is completely ruined. I am not going to consider this canon.

    No hagan caso a las críticas de las páginas oficiales, están más compradas que la franquicia de Resident Evil. La jugabilidad es lo mejorcito, pero es obvio que es una mala copia del primer juego y de las mejoras que dió Days Gone.

    Un juego deplorable, la historia es un desastre, personajes forzados, sin pasado, nada que ver con el primer juego. El tema de la inclusión está muy forzado y

    Un juego deplorable, la historia es un desastre, personajes forzados, sin pasado, nada que ver con el primer juego. El tema de la inclusión está muy forzado y al parecer todos los personajes se modificaron para encajar la idea, cosa que molesta, no por el hecho de abrir el tema sexual, sino porque pareciera que se obligó.

    Los personajes están mal ubicados, sin trama, secuencias imposibles, como las batallas que tiene Abby con Ellie, muertes de personajes importantes a lo tonto.

    Un tercer bando renegado solo para torturar a la antagonista, sin explicación, sin motivo, un extra chocante. Un final que nadie debe ver, nada qué ver con el final épico que le da la mirada de Joel y Ellie junto con la estupenda música de Santaolalla. NO gasten su dinero, no vale la pena, recuerden con cariño el primer juego y no compren esta basura política.

    Además, quién quisiera jugar con un personaje que mató, a la columna vertebral de la historia, te ponen la historia de Abby para sentir empatía con ella, no tiene justificación, Joel no torturó al doc, aunque estés muy enojada, no se compara, odié jugar con ella.

    Good looking graphical visual doesn't help the whole this piece of trash game. Let be real, putting bs political influences into the game is a stupid idea.

    Honestly didn't play this game myself. I Watched the spoilers before the game released, canceled my preorder, and decided to wait until Skillup and Angry Joe played it first. Man am I happy I saved my $60 because they both have nothing good to say about the story. Even Pewdiepie was hating playing it, and that's saying something.
    To clarify, I have watched the full gameplay, I just never

    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]
