    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is linear, with some maze like corridors, with cinematic “cutscenes” and some fights between that. Map structure is very basic: you get a corridor that leads to a maze that leads either to an empty room or a combat room. Object placement is retarded if there are combat elements. Monsters will spawn at predefined locations and attack you or the humans that are chasing you. And the rooms have no actual other entrances then you came and leave from. AI is invincible and has unlimited ammo. They are also doing much more damage and can shoot a lot faster. So if you’re in a fight you can literally wait for you companions to rush the enemy. Zombies are way too easy, some of them have more HP and another design, that’s it.
    Story is 40% Cut Scenes, 30% Maze, 20% Combat and 10% other stuff. Without spoiling too much, the story is very bad. They are living in a homosexual friendly utopian village, playing guitar, dancing, hearing loud music. All that in a post-apocalyptic world. They don’t care about zombies, only about anyone that hates homosexual individuals. You are fighting a religious cult about 80% of the actual gameplay game. 5-10% is mini games like playing a guitar in a cut scene. No real post-apocalyptic feeling. By the way, most of the story was written or at least suggested by a “strong-woman” social fighter.    … Expand

    Graphics are beautiful. Combat feels clumsy at points. The stealth is non existent because everyone is naturally blind until you change settings. The story feels like a fan fiction of someone who hates the first game and never understood what makes it good the relationship Ellie build in the new game is kinda cute and sweet but all other characters feel like cut outside of their precious selves.

    This game is a massive kick on the balls to it's predecessor, not only the story is **** bad written and boring, but the entire set feels forced with SJW propaganda worthy of an LGTB parade, this is supposed to be a serious game with actual impact on characters but it doesn't even let you kill the main antagonist, truly a disgrace to the first game.

    The last of us Part 2 is a slap in the face for fans who waited nearly a decade for this game. They treated their old characters like garbage and they changed their personalities just to fit the script. Killing off one of the most beloved characters in the first 2 hours of game is not good story writing. They poorly represented the lgbt community and are just virtue signaling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Waited a long long time for this game. Highly HIGHLY disappointing. I don’t care if they wanted to kill Joel but respect the characters man. They made Joel go out so easy but that’s wrong he would have at least took out a couple on his way out. Also not to mention they didn’t even put effort into his death mean look at Tommy he’s leaning up against a dresser looking in Abby’s direction and didn’t notice she grabbed the shotgun!?!? They just ruined one of the greatest games of all time. Plus it’s so based around the LGBT community. Okay okay Ellie is lesbian you don’t have to remind us every 30 seconds. The entire game was based on revenge for our loved character Joel and we didn’t even get to avenge his wrongful death. My suggestion to them would be to make a DLC telling a different story where Joel doesn’t die. That’s the only thing that can save them now.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I may come back and update this review, as I'll probably play it twice, but it has been a bitter disappointment and waste of money. Joel, an eternally-careful and experienced character, willingly gives up his identity. This leads to his brutal death. Ellie then goes on a rampage to avenge his death, killing pregnant women, dogs, etc. along the way. She then stops short of killing the actual person responsible. It is an aggressively stupid plot, monotone in its characters and their motives. Anyway, graphics are some of the best ever. Gameplay is about the same as last time. But for a narrative-driven game, the narrative was poorly executed. I feel bad for the technical talent and time that went into this inherently flawed game. I'll never forgive Druckmann, who clearly still needs his hand held by professionals. He's a confident hack--the very worst kind.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's **** It's a poorly-made teen novel. A cheap lesbian novel in a post apocalyptic with a poor script and characters developer in a world where one of the lesbians gets pregnant lol wtf.
    Where was the dystopian / apocalyptic plot of the previous one? The game is based on Ellie's personal relationship and Abby LOOOL THAT IS A **** NO ONE IS INTERESTED ABOUT ABBY'S PAST.
    Everything was perfect until the DLC. It is a very long game showing a rebellious teen **** lesbians and a Joel who is killed on the first 2 hours of the game, knowing that the same character in the previous game, when he meets Ellie with a **** knife, he almost killed her and did not even trust in her. WHILE HERE... YOU TRUST EASLY INTO A GANG OF STRANGERS AND THEY KILL JOEL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME LOL ahh ... but after all, the ending is a CRINGE masterpiece. If they changed the name of the game, maybe it would be a good game, because this is not the last of us. Life Is Strange for example, like so many, is A MASTERPIECE.

    I can even tell you that it is the worst game in history. It's ridiculous. And better not to mention the SJW, and the disgusting and ridiculous fan service. When a game has the overtones of "we are going to open your head by forcing political and sociable ideologies" it is automatically a score of 0/10. Whoever says it's a good game, can suck my balls bag, because this is not a good game at all. I would rate it 0.5/10 at most because the gameplay in the fights improved a bit.

    98% of people do not mind that there are homosexuals, trans in games in the middle of 2020, what ruins everything is that they want to force an ideology in vain only for a minority with the mere fact of selling it, ruining a story with a poor script/storyline. When people mix this kind of thing in art, it's crap, and worse when in the video game environment where the vast majority don't care if you're gay or not, if you're nobinary or asexual or the crap you are. We want to play and have a good time. until dlc is 10/10 the game. This part was not necessary if they presented it like this. The vast majority say that this **** would not even become canon of the BAD it is.

    If you think that people hate this game "unjustifiably "(for homosexuality) then you have **** floating in the skull. The day that people know to understand when a concept is exploited, sold to the masses and forced (ruining art), we going to progress as humans. Games are for distraction and fun, not for forcing and mixing them up with crappy politics. If you want to consume that, turn on the television.

    Please don't mess up the art with political propaganda and disgusting fan service anymore, it doesn't work. Learn from a **** time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Las of us is undoubtedly one of the best narrative driven games that I've ever played. For seven whole years I have been hyped for a sequel now, and I wasn't completely disappointed. Naughty Dog did deliver on the graphics and gameplay front, a lot. I have absolutely no complaints for them from that standpoint. However, the game begins to fall apart from the second part of the story development arc. I'll go more in detail about this now, so warning for major spoilers ahead.

    The decision to kill Joel and create a whole plot based on revenge was, although a bit generic and cliché, a good one to create a sense and thirst for vengeance and revenge in the player. That way we could 100% relate to Ellie and as a result her motivations. The decision about letting us play as the killer of Joel was also a good one, albiet was not executed properly at all, which is as good as it being a bad decision. I get what the writer was trying to do, to create a moral gray ground for the reader. To make the reader empathize with both characters motivations. But I really don't think they succeeded on that, and that's because of the simple fact that this new character Abby was not developed in the story arc. The players never got enough exposure to her, and so could never try to find the spark that would trigger emotions for her. The player however has been exposed to Ellie and Joel for an entire game in the past, and so ended up biased and hating Abbie. I think if the writer had just planned to let the player play as Abbie from the start, right from her childhood. Without ever mentioning Joel or Ellie for the first part of the game, but then put forth Ellie and let her play and kill the characters that we had spent half the game forming a bond with, maybe then this idea would've worked?

    Even so, I don't think that adding a generic revenge quest was the right decision. Like, of all the possible plot movers, why did the writer decide to use the most generic and bland and already overused plot opener? Maybe they could've made the plotline where Jackson is overrun by a massive horde of infected, where Joel sacrifices himself to save Ellie. Most people die, and the few that remain alive start to fight amongst themselves from the pressure, and two sides are formed. Then Ellie and her friends end up killing the other side. Now they have to run from the infected, and have to try and survive anyway possible. With nowhere to go, the struggle for survival as they keep scavenging and hunting and barely manage to keep themselves alive from the infected as they roam the ruins of the world, and maybe at this point of the plot slowly people start dying one by one, until its just Ellie left alone. Then we could have a flashback of her saying that the biggest fear she has is of being left alone, which by a cruel twist of irony, she is now forced to face. As she trudges along, hoping to find some sort of settlement who's rumours she heard was somewhere very far apart. The last of us, the original game had us traveling a lot. Struggling to survive from place to place and the sense of desperation and the fact that death was literally around any corner was a very real threat. It was something that attracted players to it. The sequel, does have that feeling too but I think its completely lost and falls flat, since the motivating factor to be put I to that life and death situation, that is revenge, just does not sit well. And even if the writer wanted to make this a game about revenge, then they should've let us play as only Ellie, who does manage to loll everyone, even Abbie, but in the process begins to lose her own morality and her own mind. She realizes that she has become a monster, that she is just a shell of a human being and that she has become just like Joel. She struggles to find peace even after taking revenge, as her guilty conscience for what she's done slowly starts to eat her up from the inside. Maybe something like that would've been a good flow of conflicting emotions, as the player themselves struggle to play as Ellie, as they keep watching her slowly lose her mind and go completely crazy with PTSD she caused for herself.

    Another fact that I can't overlook is the complete lack of any or minimalism character development in the relationships of Ellie with her friends or even the fact that she hated Joel. There were minimal interactions between Ellie and Joel, which I was hoping to see more of. Also even if there were interactions, it always lacked the feeling of love and emotions that should've been there. It just felt...empty and fake and forced. Overall, Naughty Dog did a splendid job from the game design and graphics perspective, but a huge part of the franchise; the narrative experience is where everything falls apart. A major piece of the puzzle for the last of us franchise is its narrative experience, and they couldn't succeed in that department. It pains me to see the sequel I was hyped for end like this. 4/10    … Expand

Joel becomes a old man with low alertness and no resistance towards crisis. This is totally different from TLOU 1. Also, the ending is a **** Ellie's objective is revenge but she gives up to kill Abby after she already kills hundreds of enemies. This is non-sense. At last, fk you Neil Druckmann, fk you ND.

    This game is a disaster. The character development is flat, and I don't care about Abby, even Ellie. The gameplay and artistic value had huge potential but, I felt that it was decent this time around. They should have kept the narration and flow simple but effective.

The beloved characters are unrecognizable and the whole game is just one giant grief-porn. I have no problem with the idea of slipping into the role of the supposed antagonist of a story and i also don't have a problem with dark truths. What i have a problem with is trying to subvert expectations by creating the opposite of a hollywood happy ending and false marketing. Since when does plain, brutal gruesomeness make a game artful? A story does not gain gravitas by eliminating every spark of hope or happiness. There needs to be a balance. Yes, an apocalyptic world is a hard and gruesome one and humans are vile creatures, but humans are also empathetic, hopeful and have the ability to act morally. With humans there is always darkness and light, but the light that was so beautifully interwoven into the harshness of the first game is missing entirely. This is Game of Thrones Season 8 and Glenn's death in the walking dead all over again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I just finished the game and I have mixed feelings about it, the graphics, design are incredible, although the gameplay is not very different from the first, because with all the time they had could have added more elements. Let's talk about Joel, I understand that the idea of he ​​dying could happen sooner or later, but the way it was it seems that they wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible just to fit Abby into the plot, they could have written a better story about how he would die. Gameplay was good in the beginning, but oh boy, how did it get repetitive, an infinite loop to do the same things over and over again, and getting Abby to forgive Ellie twice is kind of stupid isn't it? at that moment, in that world, it was a beginner's mistake and everyone knew it. Now talking about Abby, I don’t think it’s all bad to put her on the plot or even make us play with her, but man, what a boring gameplay, in the first moment until 1 hour after starting to play with her I wish I had stopped to play, just one key moment was to kill that infected giant, which was different and really interesting, why after all this time there is just few variations of infected? They tried too hard to make a good plot, and forgot the rest that could be much better. I finished the first game 6 times, and in this one I have no desire to play again, It's heartbreaking to see how they ruined the story, I don't care about the political agenda, but how hard you tried to do this and forget about everything else, so there’s no comparison with the first game, my grade is based on the first game it’s a 10 and this is a 2, so don’t keep thinking that gaining 95 of the critics who gained early access to the game is better than us who paid $ 60 on it . My expectations were high, TLOU will always be one of the best games for me, but this one is close to the worst, The best reviews are from IGN Japan, Game Revolution, your real grade from the Critics should be 70… Expand

    The appeal of this game as his predecessor is the plot. This is a heavy plot-based game where characters are the most uninteresting and the decisions feel forced. It's also a long game, if you watch a 2 hour movie and is trash at least it was a short experience, this game lasts 25 hours and doesn't redeem his poor writing at any point.

    Also:
    Realism, fine it’s an apoplectic world and people would lose everything, but cmon it is just a game that we waited 7 years for and the main reason most of us loved the first one was the Ellie and Joel relationship. There were plenty of other options such as Dina or Tommy getting killed and the story goes from there. This is what the trailer those years ago suggested. Also, I stand by my point that Joel died in a ridiculous way. Did he deserve to get killed? He did wrong definitely but at least let him die saving Ellie.
    People mentioned about letting Abby live because of taking care of Lev, tbh that’s fair and I can understand that.
    Is this good story telling? Personally no as it’s a normal revenge plot but again it’s up to you.
    Is the ending bad? Depends on how you see it, personally yes.

    The storyline is utter trash. Being dark and violent doesn't make it a master piece IGN. I get that this could be somewhat subjective but something that isn't is the plot holes, characters act in stupid inconsistent ways or nothing like they did in the first game. Joel is now a complete moron.

    And yes if you have had enough of identity politics in your escapism then stay away from this.

    The gameplay is competent but hasn't moved on at all really from it's 7 year old predecessor. There are much fewer puzzles and they are even worse than the ones in the first.

    The graphics are amazing, though and i liked the environments. Some of the new enemies are cool to fight as well.

    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...
