    This game, has caused me to loose faith in the industry. ND sold out, and I hope this bombs even more then Anthem. Never have I felt such a need to voice my disdain for a video game. DOWN WITH THE DOG

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I literally made an account just so i could review this joke of a sequel. I have never been more passionate about a game or cared as much about a game being bad and this is BAD. Game play is fine i guess same as the first game a little more buggy with the enemy A.I. and fight animations but its whatever. My problem is that this game is literally pointless. Their is absolutely nothing gained for Ellie and all she did was lose. All that was learned is that revenge bad. Let me start off with that i was ok with Joel dying i basically knew it was gonna happen but the way they did it in a way that made the least sense. Joel who is borderline 60 years old whose been surviving for almost 30 years by not trusting anyone. trusts a group of random strangers heavily armed and outnumbering him and Tommy and he just introduces himself and tells them where their camp is. these characters were not this freaking stupid we are talking joel and Tommy here i just god. it is such lazy writing. and the next worse part is you play as the character that killed joel for literally half the game and your just playing her while hating her and you just feel like garbage the whole time.And if you dont hate her then your just a psychopath. Ellie just loses everything in this and all to teach that revenge bad so you don't even get the satisfaction of killing the one that killed Joel. i was so exited for this game and i know they could have done it right. but it just feels like a bunched of mashed up crap together. imagine if they had just done the flashbacks and playing as Abby as to humanize her all leading up to Joels death. that would have worked so much better but it just feels like a lazy agenda push. i have never been left more unsatisfied with a games ending in my life. and so much work leading up to it all while your just feeling dead inside. I'm sad to say that i Strongly advise people just not play this game and just think of only the first game as cannon. 0/10 Literally pointless. A soulless uninspired sequel. Ruined my day.… Expand

The Last of Us DLC that showed Ellie as a lesbian was very well received, it told a beautiful story. Her relationship with Dina throughout the game on the other hand is so weird. They had sex once while high and all of sudden they call each other babe? That is just not how humans work. The problem of the game is bad story writing. It sucks that people try to paint this as bigotry.

    SPOILERS for all the nonsense in the game

    Joel and Tommy just present themselves. Its absurd how careless they are given how much they lived through in the game.

    How the hell did they found Joel? Can you just imagine spending years hunting someone down with NO INFORMATION whatsoever.

    It would be just so much easier if they killed Ellie in beggining, there was NO reason to let her live. They saw the town and how many people where in there, why would they risk an open war?

    The ending just adds salt to injury. It throws in your face: Everything you've done this game was pointless.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's quite a bit to say about this game. The gameplay is fantastic and I enjoyed the combat systems, environment etc. But, I didn't buy this game for the visual experience. I bought it for the story, and boy let me tell you what a let down.
    Story starts off leaving off with the events of TLOU and starts to build on a dynamic world that ND has created. Here is where it all goes terribly wrong. Joel gets killed extremely early in the game, and I was heartbroken and turned off from trying to complete the game. But hey, I thought why not give it a chance. The story is filled with shells of characters trying to fill into a terribly written story line in a post apocalyptic world. The things I loved the most about TLOU is the relationship between Joel and Ellie, and how much they have bonded. To be robbed of continuing that story is absolute garbage. Joel's death was a complete retcon of his character that they have built from the original game. Then to top it all off I have to play as someone that ruthlessly murdered him? Oh ND I expected better. The only emotional connections I had were the Ellie flashbacks. Graphics, gameplay, and visuals were amazing. Story was pretty meh.    … Expand

    Worst story for a game ever. So we're supposed to feel sympathy for the Fireflies, whose half baked plan to make a vaccine for a fungus (something we can't do in real life with money and a functioning society backing research) got them all rightfully killed. Bad game. Also they crunched their devs to death forcing them to do what is practically slave labor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Review Contains Spoilers*

    I played TLOU1 in 2014 and it easily became my favorite game and was clearly ahead of its time, but it seems the writers at NaughtyDog completely missed what made that game so memorable. I waited 6 years for this sequel, and it was incredibly disappointing to say the least :(

    I will start off by saying that the graphics/visuals, opportunities for further exploration, and flashbacks were some of my favorite moments; as well as playing as Ellie in the first half of the game. These are the only reasons this game even deserves as high as a 5. However, the story on the other hand….

    *Joel dying in the first couple hours of the game......in TLOU1 Joel was the type of guy to literally trust nobody and take no **** from anyone. Why on Earth would he think to help a random straggler in Abby and think following her somewhere was smart? AND THEN TELL EVERYONE HIS REAL NAME?? Like c’mon, anyone in their right mind would use a code name or something at the very least and not be so naïve, especially Joel.

    *Abby's Story/Ellie Ending: This game haphazardly attempts to get you to empathize with Abby and the fact that her dad was the surgeon that Joel killed at the end of the first game when he saved Ellie from the Fireflies. Guess what? I DON'T CARE....I can't understand the game showing her kill Joel in the beginning and then 10 hours later showing us why she did it. At that point, she is my least favorite character and I do not care about her in the slightest. And the fact that we have to play as her for the entire second half of the game is ridiculous and a boring/repetitive revenge journey. They should stick to a single storyline for an entire game and not split 20+hours between Ellie and Abby. I even let Abby die a few times when I played as her because that's how little I cared for her character or story.
    Not to mention the fact that Ellie went through this huge revenge plot and kills everyone in the group, except her. Wtf is that? Track Abby down once, let her live. Track Abby down YEARS LATER and still let her live?? Like I understand the ultimate journey is supposed to emphasize that Ellie lost everything along the way, but it's just such a horrible way to end the game. Seemed completely empty imo.

    *I believe another reason the story was so obviously misrepresentative of the first game was that there was too much virtue spotlighting. NaughtyDog tried soooo hard to make sure they were politically correct over actually providing the emotional connection necessary to keep my attention and love for the game. How does an entire group, in the middle of an apocalypse, care if someone is gay or transgender? Literally makes no sense to me and they forced Lev out... Abby and Lev are not the duo I want to see in a game; if it's not Ellie or Joel, what's the point?
    And let me preface all that by saying that I LOVED Ellie and Dina's relationship. It was one of my favorite moments and I feel like that wasn't explored fully, nor were the actual stories of Dina and Jesse. More time should have been put into their stories.

    Overall, I just feel NaughtyDog completely dropped the ball with so much filler and nonsense and lost everything about what made TLOU1 so extraordinary. They should have catered to the fan base that played that unforgettable first game all those years ago, and it certainly feels like they forgot what made that game so successful. This game is not replayable unless you’re a glutton for punishment.

    *Ultimately, after playing the game, I think a better storyline would have been something like the disbanded Firefly group getting back together and infiltrating Jackson. Maybe, they kidnap Joel and take him prisoner and then we have to follow Ellie (+ Dina, Jesse, or Tommy) travel and fight to eventually save him and bring him back. I think the fact that Naughty Dog completely destroyed the Joel-Ellie Dynamic and eliminated the emotional connection of TLOU1 made the story of TLOU2 so terrible.

    Please Remaster the game and save the series!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The gameplay, graphics, and the other technical things in this game were beautiful. I liked the LGBT+ representation as it makes for a more realistic world. However, what made The Last of Us 1 such a great game, was the story,well developed characters, and the consistency of the actions those characters took with their personalities. My two main issues with this game was the manner in which Joel died, as well as how Ellie killed all those people to avenge Joel, but when it came to the one who was actually responsible, she lets her go.
    Joel in the first game is characterized as an extremely cautious veteran in his world, he was able to spot an ambush with a single look, and furthermore, even Ellie who was far less experienced at the time had a distinct distrust in strangers, refusing to give them actual names. In Joel’s death scene, Tommy gives his real name which is understandable as he didn’t go through what Joel did and hurt/make enemies of nearly as many people as Joel did. Joel on the other hand, actually gave his real name while being in a room full of absolute strangers surrounding him on either side? Not to mention they were both aware of rival groups like hunters, WLF, and others that would willingly kill anyone not associated with them. Yet he gives his actual name, and then gets killed. Furthermore, the placing of his death is amazingly bad taking into account that we’re supposed to attempt to empathize with Abby as we play as her for a large part of the game. It only made me hate the game more as I played as this character who does atrocious things to the people I grew to love from the first game as well as many innocent people.
    Ellie’s initial response to Joel’s death was perfect, she was ready to go after Abby immediately to avenge her murdered father figure. I like most of what happens in the story from that point on, until it comes to killing Abby. Not only does she not kill her for murdering Joel, she doesn’t kill her when she has the opportunity, seconds after ABBY BITES HER FINGERS OFF. It isn’t consistent with who Ellie is as a character, she has a body count of hundreds if not in the thousands, and the one person she refuses to kill is the one who murdered her “father”?
    It is useless for me to state my issues with the game without presenting a way to fix it. As shown by your user score, the fans overwhelmingly dislike this game, it spit on the beautiful legacy of the previous game, similarly to how Joel’s dead body was spit on and insulted. As stated previously, I am not adverse to Joel dying, however it should have been done in a more ‘consistent with the character’ manner. For example, instead of him dying in the beginning, we have Joel, Ellie, Dina and whoever else set out on a journey to investigate rumors of a cure/vaccine being found. This happens right after Joel tells Ellie the truth of what happened with the Fireflies and the ending of the last game. She is extremely confused and conflicted, Dina comes in and helps her work through it, building that romance, and together they guilt Joel into going with them to investigate. Simultaneously, we meet Abby, who is searching for the man who murdered her father. We watch her develop relationships with her companions, play as her as she overcomes different obstacles and they grow to love her. The theme of forgiveness becomes an underlying theme as during Ellie’s journey, she starts as being hateful and disrespectful to Joel for lying to her and taking away humanity’s chance at stopping the infection. But through multiple days/weeks of traveling together, being reminded of old times through flashbacks, Dina playing Devil’s advocate as she would have never been able to fall in love with Ellie if Joel hadn’t saved her etc. She would come to forgive Joel. On Abby’s side, her father was a surgeon who tried to find a cure, so she heads to where a ‘cure’ is found(same place as Ellie) for clues on her father’s killer. Eventually, they meet as Joel and Ellie save Abby. They start traveling together and both parties start to become friends as they work their way towards the cure, once they get there Abby realizes Joel is the man who murdered her father, but is conflicted as she knows the reason why, and Ellie as well as the others convince her to forgive Joel. Ellie helps make the cure with her blood or something like that, and boom, it ends with Ellie and Joel playing in their guitars with their new family around them.
    If this is too much of a radical change, then a simpler one would be Ellie finishing the job and killing Abby, then Levi. When she kills Levi she mirrors the words Joel said when he killed Marleen.Then the ending is the same except that when she finds she is unable to play the song, she flashes back to Joel and says “I guess I’m the last of us” or something along those lines and walks off.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is nowhere near deserving of anything above 5. I’ve chosen 3 because I think its bastardizes the series but would probably more aptly give it a 3.5, for two reasons:
    The game is a technical marvel and graphically is very impressive, the best ND looking game to date and one of the best looking games of this gen. The game also includes unlockable flashbacks with Joel and Ellie and these are what really give the extra .5 I would realistically give and also why the game is only a 3.5. If the whole game had more of Joel or Elie or introduced new characters that had such a deep and well thought out relationship as Joel or Ellie, Part 2 would’ve been fantastic. Unfortunately, beating Joel with a golf club 2 hours in dashes this. As soon as we take control of Abby, the one who murders Joel, the story becomes confusing and jumbled, with multiple flashbacks and jumpcuts and is very hard to follow. Abby herself is unlikeable and very hard to find any sympathy for. The other characters are forgettable and have no defining characteristics that make you want to find out more about them, apart from Dina, who makes sense because she’s Ellies partner.
    Ellie herself is less likeable, constantly hating on Joel and the majority of males to be honest, she’s simply an **** even to Dina but I immensly enjoyed the interactions she had with Dina and the small respite in the game with her and Dina living in the farmhouse was really cute and did go someway into exploring Ellie’s response to intimacy and romance.
    The ending, the point I will end this review on, is atrocious. The whole game is revolved around revenge, of course. Ellie tracks down Abby after getting seperated from her earier in the game, leaving Dina and Dina’s baby behind (obviously, not their baby, Dina was impregnated by another character earlier but then they broke up). Abby has been tortured and beat and is essentially being crucified, on death’s door. Ellie frees her and they both go to a nearby dock, to escape via boat. Ellie then threatens to kill Lev, a boy Abby has been travelling with, if Abby doesn’t fight her. This devolves into a fist fight (in a world where guns exist and Ellie actually has a few on her person and in a world where survival of the fittest dominates), where Ellie gets the upperhand but then let’s Abby leave with Lev, despite murdering her friends and 100’s of others and the whole point of tracking Abby was revenge for Joel. Ellie then comes back to the farmhouse to find Dina and the baby gone and tries to play guitar, only to find she can’t as she lost two fingers in the fight with Abby. One more cutscene plays, where Ellie says in a flashback at Jackson, the starting area, she can’t forgive Joel for saving her at the hospital, credits.
    Let’s hope and pray TLOU3 is never made or if it is, with Druckmann far away as possible. If he and the other management who made devs work 100+ hour weeks for this game leave, I wish ND the best on their next game, otherwise, people on the bottom of the ladder, get the hell out and don’t look back.    … Expand

    Incredibly poor choices in the story. More CG than gameplay, its like a bad interactive game. I believe that some public will enjoy, but for me, its like the got final season, just using ways to impact without considering a lot of thing from the first game (Joel character totally destroyed). I only liked to play guitar lol

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 所以我很早就開始玩遊戲了。在發布之前，我沒有看到或破壞任何東西。我從來沒有做。

    所以這就是我的想法：This review contains spoilers. So I got the game early and played it. I read or saw no spoilers before the release. I never do.

    So here is what I think:

    Pros:
    - gameplay
    - graphics
    - atmosphere
    - sound
    - music

    All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned.

    Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.

    This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke.

    Safe your money and buy something else.

    And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done.

    You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core.

    This game right here? Its garbage.

    End of story. Collapse

    優點：
    -遊戲性
    -圖形
    -氛圍
    -聲音
    -音樂

    所有這些部分都是不可否認的，非常好。其一流的。當然控件有時會感覺很奇怪，但是在大多數遊戲中它們確實如此。就我提到的所有觀點而言，說這款遊戲不是最新的遊戲是不公平的。 缺點： -故事 -角色設計 -角色發展 -密謀漏洞 因此，即使有所有職業玩家，這款遊戲也確實非常糟糕。Ellie表現自己在遊戲某些部分的行為是沒有道理的，但這甚至不是它為什麼不好的最大問題。 原因是：性格發展。 如果您在遊戲早期（喬爾）殺死了一個最受歡迎的角色，並且想引入新的主要可玩角色（例如Abby），則您必須帶來更多背景故事，以使玩家對她有感覺。 我的意思是她殺死了喬爾！ 您如何使玩家喜歡她？在這樣做之前，請帶上越來越多的背景故事。當她還是個孩子時，讓玩家扮演Abby 2-10h。她的背景故事基本上會在10分鐘內被告知，然後她的父親被殺。而已？現在我必須和她在一起，並了解她為什麼殺死喬爾？ 一定不行！ 那是虛弱的故事。真的真的很弱。 然後是所有其他新字符。沒有人是可愛的。真的很喜歡。他們都感到空虛。它們只是沒有任何意義的貝殼。 這個遊戲很糟糕。幫自己一個忙，不要買。記者撰寫的評論要么被索尼公司收購，要么被ND收購，或者受到了嚴重的政治影響。可悲的是：由於同樣的原因，記者很可能會將這款遊戲定為GOTY。真是笑話。 放心，買些別的東西。 最後但並非最不重要的一點：從技術上講，這是一款非常出色的遊戲，但故事/角色太糟糕了，剩下的事情做得如何都沒關係。 你想要一個很好的複仇故事嗎？觀看“老男孩”，您就會知道如何製作一個很好的複仇故事，震驚每個人。 這個遊戲就在這裡嗎？它的垃圾。    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game only has one thing going for it. Graphics. There are no words to describe how disappointing it was to play this game. Forcing myself to finish, just to get to the ending, and wishing I could go back and stop halfway through. Graphics cannot make up for the abysmal story that is the Last of Us Part II. (Spoilers) This game wanted to act like a Game of Thrones rip-off by trying to kill as many main characters as it could, along with almost all the new supporting cast. Nothing about the story unique in any manner.

    Joel died, by a group of Fireflies, that were hunting him. For a story about revenge, each side in this story continually let people go, when it made no sense. Fighting as Abby for the Ellie Boss Fight was horrible. I wanted nothing more than to die, but alas, I could not continue the story if done so. Which, while on the topic of Abby, was a horribly written character. No redeeming features graced this character and it was sad to say that not even Owen (her love interests) could help. Manny, who was barely in the game was more interesting than either of these characters. All of which end up dying when you start her play through, so you already know how everything goes.

    The twists of this game were terrible. Pregnant women, people dying, and continual ending vibes wrecked this game. I didn't care for exploring because of how dull the game was and I missed the different vibes the first game gave you as you travelled across the states. All in all, a waste of time that I uninstalled as soon as I finished the game. It's a shame that this was the game I waited years for and even worse is how the play on words in the trailers affected everything I thought this game might be. RIP Joel. Your watch has now ended.    … Expand

    Joel, a person who's been careful and paranoid as all hell for all these years just goes onto introduce himself to a bunch of strangers??? For all he knew they could have been a bunch of cannibals......

    And don't get me started on the shi*** ending, Ellie not killing Abby after all that she was forced to go through was the biggest kick in the balls any of us have ever experienced. This is exactly what happens when companies cater to the whims of the SJW retards.    … Expand

Que me vengas con el discurso de que la venganza no es buena es hipócrita luego de haber matado a medio mundo. Los gráficos buenos ya no convencen a nadie, la historia es pobre, Joel tuvo una muerte humillante, siendo que fue el ícono del juego anterior. Una muerte más digna era para él, no un palo de golf.

Read the Forbes article titled, “‘The Last Of Us Part 2’ Is Getting Predictably User Score Bombed On Metacritic”. This article points out that the 40,000 user reviews for TLoU2 on Metacritic is way more than the user reviews for even the top 3 MOST SOLD GAMES EVER, which includes GTA5, suggesting that people are tacking multiple bad reviews onto this game. It also points out that a lot of these reviews were made before people could have played through the entire thing (since it takes about 25 hours to play through) as the reviews were made shortly after release.

    With all of that considered, this game is as close to a masterpiece as you can get. It not only lives up to the expectation that Naughty Dog sought but twists that prospect into something totally unexpected from the first game. Naughty Dog has once again delivered an enthralling, super detailed story with smooth gameplay and beautiful graphic design. TLoU is the only series that has ever impressed on my emotions, and this second installment is no exception. In fact, I'd say Part II affected me more than the first. Please play this game and give it a real user rating; I am confident this game is not worth the currently low rating of 4/10.

    I have to say that this "nerd rage bomb" is disappointing. It must be the result of a generation that can't handle not getting a trophy for coming in last place. Life is complex, and there is just as much interesting drama and context to learn from while experiencing the low points. I used to be a person that would discount the critic reviews thinking they were biased by industry politics, and I would instead focus on the consumer scores believing that I could not be deceived by my nerd peers.
