This game doesnt know what it wants to be and in doing so is very much an average game at best nothing innovative about it nothing thought provoking. A lot of the characters are very much unlikeable and some are so cookie cutter you could argue they are interchangeable and could be taken out and it wouldnt change a thing. The story comes off as a snobby college student writing a dark story for the first time and showing it off in your face saying i know how to write take me serious. I shouldn’t have to go when playing a game ”wait a minute what? Oh man thats a plot hole” or ”I would’ve written that better” but i did and I’m sure plenty of others are as well. The combat is serviceable it doesnt do anything that another AAA publisher couldn’t easily do better but it gets the job done. The atmosphere is dark and thats to be expected the choice of music is a mixed bag though but its nothing to cry over. The Story is Divisive and I would argue significantly unpolished if its not dragging it feels rushed. Naughty Dog’s game is going to have to compete vs CyberPunk2077 ,Ghosts of Tsushima, and maybe even Baldurs Gate 3. Dont be surprised if 1...2 or even all 3 of these games outsell their newest game or come close to their sales with a better consumer rating.… Expand

    The "critics review" score shows how rotten is this industry. A 100 is meant to be a perfect game. this is not a perfect game, not even a good game.
    Unless you want to play a videogame about political agendas, this game is not for you.
    Also, i Deducted 2 points from the score due to MUSO, and SONY **** tactics with youtubers and the false copyright demans ignoring fair use.

This game has a boring gameplay, a horrible story, a lot of bugs, characters who make stupid decisions all the time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the first game. The story, the gameplay, all of that, It was a masterpiece. This is just BAD. Why do something like that? The way the Joel character is treated, the way you supposed to empathize with his killer. It's not working. The "you killed my father excuse", come on. In 7 years they couldn't came up with something better that a NPC killed? And the ending is easily the worst part. You kill hundreds of people to get to Joel's killer and then you do nothing because "revenge is bad". Unbelievable. Way to go NaughtyDog you went from absolute masterpieces like the Uncharted series and TLOU to this awful game. I guess i could not expect nothing else from Neil Druckmann, after his statements. Doesn't matter if they ruin the charactes of the first game, and with them the expctations of the players. It doesn't matter because now they have new stunnig and brave (so brave they kill an unarmed man with a golf stick, then spit on him) characters and political corectness is safe. And all the critics' positive reviews just prove what the world of media is become. You put these themes in your story and they will (and have to) love it. The bond between Joel and Ellie, the evil and good spectrum so thin, the story so simple yet so powerfull, the calm of some moments, the frenzy of others, Joel so strong and so broken, Ellie so young and scared and courageous. Nothing of that, nothing, is present in this sequel. This is just putting the almost same (very good indeed) gameplay, new unlikeble characters that you will hate and some gore and ultraviolent scene to shock you. No NaughtyDog, I'm not shock by these scenes, I am shock for the poor writing of these. Thanks to SJW. This is just so SAD.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically the game just isn't much more impressive than Last of Us Remastered, focusing on mood lighting to make up for the seven year old PS4 hardware to cover up its very clear cracks, while still utterly paling in comparison to Red Dead Redemption 2. Gameplay likewise is barely different from the first game, with minimal additions to how it's played (a very crappy dedicated jump button is a perfect symbol of this). Stages feel a bit more linear believe it or not, and no moment even approaches scary or even particularly tense.
    Both of these disappointments, however, could've been made up for if it weren't for Naughty Dog's worst story yet. Where Last of Us 1 was a nuanced character driven plot about a father rekindling his humanity, and a child growing into a hardened survivor, Last of Us 2 took a much more generic "revenge is bad" route. Joel is unceremoniously murdered after falling for a trick that he himself would've come up with during his early days as a raider, with Niel Druckmann's self insert immediately spitting on his still warm corpse as Ellie watches. Anything related to the core plot (Ellie as the cure and how or if she can survive this) are immediately pushed beyond the backburner in lieu of petty politics and soulless relationship drama. New bland characters that nobody would ever care about flood into the mix, filling the story with drivel as you shoot increasingly repetitive zombies and cultists. The game chooses to mix things up with clumsy flashbacks (including flashbacks within flashbacks; absolutely shameless), putting the player in control of Abby, the now infamous she-hulk who murdered Joel in her own act of petty revenge. The rest of the game focuses on Ellie losing everyone and everything she has left just to kill Abby, with even Joel's iconic lie at the end of TLOU1 getting brushed off and forgotten quickly. And when Ellie does finally catch up to Abby, after killing swaths of people, relationships, and infected, and losing her precious guitar-playing fingers in the process, she decides that Abby's life isn't worth the price she already overpaid for, leaves her alive, and goes home to find out that karen took the kids. I'm not kidding, after learning this valuable lesson, her girlfriend leaves with their kid, never to be seen again. The story ends with Ellie ditching the last thing she has, Joel's guitar, because literally watching not Niel Druckmann spitting on his caved in head wasn't enough.
    If the gameplay were better, or the graphics were prettier, or if story wasn't such a huge focus in every Naughty Dog game since Jak 3, I probably wouldn't care. But you don't play ND games for the gameplay. You play them to watch how events unfold. Niel Druckmann didn't drop the ball here. He stabbed the ball with a penknife, ruining the game for everyone, and then attempted to bribe commentators into saying he made an excellent play.
    But at least the music was good. One full point there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes the game is beautiful, that I have to admit. The gameplay was fluid and the environments have great atmosphere. But the reason I play these games is for the story... and what a horror show this was. I seriously considered stopping playing 2-3 times because of the decisions that were made. I will not go into detail about the anti-male feel I had during the whole game, but it really made me uncomfortable at times. On a gameplay level it slightly improved on the previous game, but it also borrowed so much from it, playing it very safe. All in all I can't understand where the 10/10 comes from .. I really don't. And the trailers did indeed lie about the story played out .. big time.
    Edit: Just finished the game and I need to change my score from 2 to 1. This is the first time I hated the game I was playing. never happened to me. Forcing fans of the first game to play as the killer of your favorite character of all time is not ok .. ever.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The long swaited sequel to one of the best games of 2013. Druckman takes a golf club to the characters who you grew to love. They are completely wasted and spat on in Druckmans 1 man reign of terror on the male patriarchy, I mean sequel. I wont deny this game the credit it deserves for how visually oustanding it looks, especially in 4k, the world around you looks absolutley stunning. But unfortunately thats the only stunning feature that can be found in this game. A typical revenge plot line that is lost in itself with the 20000 characters that it introduces and tries desperatley to make relevant to an already established storyline. Closure was the one thing I was seeking out of this sequel. The first game ends with a cliff hanger that leaves it much to the players own interpretation. Joel lies to Ellie and we are shown that Ellie knows that there is something that Joel is not telling us. Cut forward 4 years we have Ellie who is much older and a lesbian. The only closure we receive is through vietnam guitar flashbacks of Joel and Ellie. The only thing I got from this game that has given me some sense of fullfilment is the 5 minute scene mid game where Ellie confronts Joel in a flashback where she forces Joel to tell her the truth about the fireflies and what really happened while she was unconcious in the surgery room. The remainder of present day interactions showcase a rocky and abrupt relationship between Joel and Ellie that is only explained during flashback sequences as you reluctantly force yourself to progress with the main story. The only slight glimmer of Joel and Ellie that we see is one other 5 minute sequence where Joel and talk after their fallout, where Joel tell hers that if he could go back, he would do it all again and ellie half forgiving him for what he did. Im not going to even touch on the ridiculous exposition and complete deviation with Dina and Ellies coming of age teen pregnancy lesbian relationship that was nothing but mundane and boring. 2 hours into the game Joel gets fkn Murked by Abby, a girl man who seeks revenge on Joel becuase Joel kills her dad... who was some random NPC in the first game and suddenly a sequels entire plot is spun around this fact ? This game is riddled with social justice micro agressions, but that isnt why this game is bad in my opinion. This game has very poor, contrived writing that is desperatley trying to prove a point to it's audience. Its forced and extremely unconvincing. This a very big step down from it's predecessor. What makes this all come full circle is that the message behind this revenge story is that "revenge is bad m'kay". A 25 hour stretched out story that could have been honestly 11-13 hours long witout losing its depth. The game makes an extreme U-Turn when we switch focus from Ellie to Abby. Abby is the Main Character of the sequel, the game has just forced this completely new and irrelevant character on us and is trying very desperatley to force its player to sympathise with her/him by subjecting you to almost 15 hours of cringe dialogue and character exposition through ill timed interactive set pieces. The big point behind this entire plot was "breaking the cycle of violence" now the problem that I have with this is, in your quest for vengance, Ellie single handidly murders a ton of people including pregnant women. You basically leave a mass grave of bodies in your wake but when you finally confront the antagonist, the entire 25 hours you have sunk into this garbage heap goes to absolute waste as the final showdown ends in a half assed fist fight and a moraly confilicting self existential crisis. You let Abby live and suddenly Ellie DeGeneres realises after months of taking names and torturing people that suddenly she can possess the moral highground by deciding after murking 999 people, that the 1000th person is when she wants to "break the cycle of violence". The one person this revenge story leads to, is the one and only person that is spared due to moral conflict.... Gameplay can never be the redeeming factor when the story is this bad. This game fkd up when it started implementing things that the community didnt want inorder to satisy those who don't play.

I was expecting some of this due to the leaks but I was also expecting a truly ground breaking game play experience to make it all worth the pain. On my first assumption it delivered in spades, I hated every single character including ellie. Joel was the only person I identified with and I won't spoil what they do to him. My second assumption however fell flat at my feet. It maintains all of the immersion killing flaws of the first game,(Poor Enemy AI, stealh detection) as well as the gameplay that made the first game feel like a grind. (prepare to spend half of Last of us 2 crawling around, throwing bricks at walls ). The animations are quite good but after after a while you begin to see through the illusion of a seemingly dynamic action system and into the reality of a very nice canned animations system that triggers the same regardless of different approaches and conditions that should mutate them. i.e. jumping on a horse without anyone else already on it will trigger the same animation as when your partner is waiting in the saddle. Due to the momentum and carelessness of the animation your character would almost certainly knock the other character off the horse IRL. Once again this is of course pretty standard for a modern game but my point is that LOU2 is not the revolutionary game that LOU1 was. All in all, I could have done without LOU2. It only served to tarnished the sentimental appreciation I had for of the first game which is now tarnished by the nauseous bad taste from the second game.    … Expand

Yet I continued on hoping maybe I just needed more time with it like the FF7 remake or other slower paced games like RDR2. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The only enjoyable parts were the flash backs because they used already established characters with more personality, unlike the new characters that are as likable as a napkin. And with an entire game centered around a story driven narrative, the characters are the centerpiece and make or break an "adventure" game like this that is very heavy with cutscenes.

    Sure the graphics, sound, and voice acting are top notch, but what does that matter when the story is completely amateurish with plot twists that seem like they were plucked from some reddit fan fiction. Mirror opposite from the first game in terms of depth and chemistry. I really tried to appreciate the new characters, but without giving spoilers, their motives and general traits are very unlikable and flat. The entire time I felt like I was playing some generic Netflix zombie series and that's a shame. I'm aware the writing teams were changed from the previous game, but come on. Don't use the same title if this is the level of writing to be expected. Compared to the Uncharted series and the first TLOU, it's no where near as compelling.

    Overall, this games deserves a zero because it's done something I've seen very few games do; tarnish the franchise so badly that I'm reluctant to even play the previous entry again that was easily game of the year and pretend this one just doesn't exist at all. There are so many different ways the story could have been written to be more engaging and better paced, but I suppose this is what happens when a company cash grabs and knows mainstream reviewers will shower it in praise. To rub salt in the wound, there are obvious politically correct tropes crammed into this game to cast the widest net possible and upset the least amount of people. The whole experience feels so artificial as if it was created in a lab with a panel of every affinity group and this is the result. Stale, generic, and just not interesting in any way.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just horrible, sure the gameplay and graphics is tollerable for a 2020 triple A game. But the story just walks the entire franchise off a cliff. Joel's death especially. Myself and literally the entire fan base was fine with Joel dying. However, the way they killed him off was the most disturbing and dumbest way to kill of a MAIN character. Had zero affect on the story and Naughty Dog literally treated him like a naughty dog (pun intended). You can tell the writers tried extraordinarily to like Abby and sympathise with her. Although, that is quite difficult to do considering she literally killed a fan favourite at the beginning of the game. Naughty Dog had the right intentions in painting the antagonists with a good light but it just utterly failed during the execution. This game obviously had a ton of high hopes considering the first game. But, it's sub-par controls and gameplay for a triple A game. It's terrible story where you have no choice but to play as abby THE ONE WHO KILLED JOEL, not only that you have to try and feel sorry for this abby during the rest of the game. I went into this game knowing the spoiler, i was prepared. But even that couldn't stop the onslaught of thoughts going through my head while major things happened. I kept on thinking to myself, "How the **** does that make sense" or "They really messed up the story". I was feeling more pity for those who loved the original and our now playing the sequel compared to actually liking the game. In one last sentence, this game is a hard pass for me.… Expand

    This is where Last of Us Part 2 becomes a total train wreck as it forcefully introduces a new female led character which the entire story will revolve around. This new character completely relies on destroying the establish characters in order to give her any meaning in the story.

    As you get further into the story it will just get worst with uninteresting characters and infuriating events.

    If you are a fan of the original story and plan to play it (or watch it) be prepare to have it be stained with frustration and disappoint when your beloved characters are use to introduce a new main character that you totally wanted for a sequel about Joel and Ellie...    … Expand

If you, like me, are a fan of the previous game, then please do yourself a favour and DO NOT play this one. It will tarnish your memory of even the previous game, which was a masterpiece. It isn’t even about the fact that it literally destroys your beloved characters from the previous game, but also because it is completely devoid of any charm that the storytelling of the previous one had. The plot here is so scatter-brained that I still haven’t found a way to summarise it. They just went with whatever had the most shock value in THAT specific moment. And that means characters will switch personalities and motives back and forth like a yo-yo. It doesn’t matter if it’s unnatural for a character to behave a certain way, if it provides a shock value, they’ll put it in. So don’t expect to form any kind of a meaningful relationship with any character (including a certain new one they keep forcing the players to play as, even though audience has no connection with said character, and the parts where you play as them seem extremely tedious) because even by the end of the game, you wouldn’t know exactly who they are as a person. Heck even Ellie, the main character of this game! The only form of connection you will feel with the character is because she was important to you in the first game, because in this one she is barely a shadow of her former self. And I won’t even get into all the injustices done to Joel’s character so lets just move on. The gameplay, well its the same old same old. Don’t expect to be blown out of the water in this category either. They did polish it up a bit, but at the end of the day, the combat and stealth aspects are just as they were in the previous game, which is to say, outdated. The graphics are really gorgeous no doubt, but its still not enough to carry the weight of this incredible failure of a game. After all, with the new generation consoles coming out, plus the already state-of-the-art graphics in most AAA titles these days, this isn’t something that’s gonna blow your mind either. So, all in all, bad game. Doesn’t even work as a stand-alone story, because its not memorable or even good, in any sense.… Expand

There is also an extremely graphic sex scene that made me want to gouge my eyes out. Neil Druckmann thinks hes Hideo Kojima when hes really just a washed up loser. Amy Henning was the real genius at Naughty Dog. I question if I will ever buy a Naughty Dog game ever again. Please, please do not buy this game.

    I can tolerate games that play out more like interactive movies, with long, drawn out animations for the sole purpose of "immersion". I myself like to play more narrative driven games when I'm feeling up to it. But when the story comes at the cost of everything else, you better make sure that your plot is worthy of being at the front and center of a 20 hours experience.

    And in this case it is not. This isn't an understatement. The story of this game and it's character are some of the most putrid pieces of "entertainment" that I've laid my eyes upon this year. And the reason becomes quickly apparent as the game progresses.

    This isn't a story. There is no vision behind this game. It exists as a political statement and serves no purpose beyond that.

    Coming from someone who has enjoyed most of Naughty Dog's works for the past decade and a half, I never thought I'd see the day where they'd destroy the legacy of one of their most popular IP so quickly.

It's sad that the writers could not give them a better script. At times it feels like there could be something more to say that may be profound but all we get is a one liner or a joke that lands but almost ruins the mood the game tries to place you in. Then we get to the story. Single player games rely heavily on story elements. It tries to teach you ba lesson and forces you to hit yourself over the head with its forced morality. The themes it tries to portray are undone by the fact that a player has no agency in the choices thrust upon you. The writers are the puppet masters and your only option is to dance. And at the end they look to you and ask why did you do this. After playing I felt like the message that was being forced upon me did not coincide with the resolution of the game. Things felt contrived and as a result the game stumbled into a cautionary tale neglecting storytelling for pure shock. I would give this game a 4/10 .... but I also have to factor in outside influences in my score. The trailers were deceptive. They implied that some characters had a larger role. -1
    Some characters were noticeably dumbed down so that they could make terrible decisions. They did not stay true to their portrayal on the first game. -1
    The reviews from critics are congratulatory and defensive to such a controversial game and give glowing reviews to something that as a whole is not well thought out. It gives value to connived storytelling at the cost of upending the expectations of the player. It lauds the developers for bravery yet fails to call them out for forcing the story it wants to tell in such a weird and unnatural way. -1

The given story doesn't miss any opportunity to portray him/ her as broken by the world, bitter, unloving and above all: unsympathetic. Instead of slipping into the skin of the second protagonist of the first game, you are forced to play with the antagonist. I can't imagine that anybody likes him/ her, but with every scene the game tries to emphasize his/ her good side, the whole thing happens so unbelievable, that the whole story actually becomes to a soap opera. No comparison to the ingenious first part. The actual gameplay is too repetitive and frustrating, I often had problems with the camera or the incorrectly working "X-ray view". Also, dodging in close combat, especially in hectic situations, is poorly solved. Other games have shown how it works better. Graphically, the game is excellent, but as the story currently stands, the game should have ended better with the first part.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HORRIBLE PLOT! I cannot believe Naughty Dog has ruined such a beautiful franchise. I was so excited for this game but it was so falsely advertised. I loved this franchise for JOEL MILLER. He was the defining factor in my love for the game. I understand he had to die somehow, but this was NOT it! I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY AS JOEL’S KILLER! Then we get this absolutely terrible ending. Such a waste of talent from Naughty Dog. You guys really dropped the ball on this.… Expand

    The graphics and sound design is great, that is why I give this a 2/10, they deserve praise for that part. Game play is okay, but lazily they put no effort into it.

    The rest however... oh man oh man... I am not even sure how to begin.

    I can forgive killing main characters, I can forgive easy one-track stories, and I can forgive (a few) plot holes, as long as the main story and the choices have some kind of logic to it. I can even forgive playing the supposed antagonist (a psychopath by the way), or re-writing history. BUT extremely lazy writing, horrible character assassinations, coupled with really bad story I can never forgive.

    However weird it may sound for a game several years in development; this game feels rushed. They did not have time to put in a good flowing narrative, they did not have time to check the dialogue, they did not have time to develop characters or write a compelling story. A game and a franchise which is all about the story, has a sequel which cares nothing about the story. Revenge is evil, circle of evil, and revenge is bad. Got it? Oh no? Let us remind you of this 100 times so you understand what this game is about - revenge is bad!
    That is it? That is what you come up with after several years of writing and development?

    I am not sure if this is the worst sequel of all time, but seeing how the first game was close to a masterpiece I have to conclude that The Last of Us II is the worst sequel of all time. Do not buy this, do not play it. Complete waste of time. Revenge is bad, all you need to know. Revenge is bad, now go do your laundry or watch paint dry up on a golf course which is a lot more fun than playing this travesty.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely unsatisfying. The game clearly put wayyy too much into diversity and including LGBT rather then making actual interesting characters. The ending is garbage with the antagonist being practically set free. Dont buy it, definitely not as good as part 1… Expand

    I loved TLOU and all the DLCs. I had high hopes when I saw the trailer, and I ignored the leaks as best I could. The game is awful.

I feel scammed and anybody saying they had fun playing this game is in denial and desperately justifying the waste of sixty dollars that this game is. Don't bother with this sequel.… Expand

The scenes of kissing, f*cking, lesbian etc. were not needed to complete the story ..

    Sometimes the story goes off the rails, everything previously accomplished is trashed, and a political agenda is shoved down your throat.

    O jogo fala de vingança mas não te dá isso, é uma trolagem de história. Só gráficos e jogabilidade. Esse jogo não chega perto do primeiro. O diretor neil druckman ironicamente zombou nas redes sóciais de seus fans de the last. Nota zero em protesto

    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]
