    nice game ruined by a political agenda its a shame game creators get their freedom stolen to support minorities just for political reasons and not by giving a real history base in the original material just disapointing how the media push too hard to throw SOJW agenda right in our faces :(

    This is the worst game Naughty Dog has ever released. While it tries to continue in the footsteps of its incredible predecessor, it does drive extremely well-designed gameplay, and an eerie atmosphere expected in a post-apocalyptic world; however, it completely fails to entertain the player in a meaningful way. The story lacks proper depth and obviously panders to a fringe audience. ThisThis is the worst game Naughty Dog has ever released.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is graphically strong. Well done voice acting. The game was fun to play throughout. The story though, was an absolute mess. You play as Ellie until they kill off Joel. Then they get you to spend the next 10 hours playing as a very manly female character that killed Joel. Those 10 hours I just wanted this character to die the whole time and I grew 0 connection to her. Finally at the end of the story Ellie is going to get her revenge....and she wusses out and let's her go for some reason. The story was horrible. Everything else was good, but the story is supposed to be the best part about naughty dog games. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would honestly give this game a 7/10 if it weren't for such an awful story. Joel was needlessly killed off in the beginning and the story never made me feel sympathetic for Abby. As time went on me playing as her I grew to dislike her more and more. There was no pay off in with ending either. Ellie lost everything to find Abby and she just gets to walk away scott free. It just doesn't sit right with me and it really pains me to give this game such a low score. The first game is my favorite game ever and this is such a fall from grace. A game can have the best game-play, graphics, and sound, but if it has a terrible story it ruins the whole game Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing graphics, but this is normal is ps4-ps5 you can not wait graphics from ps1. The gameplay improve a lot that is great, HOWEVER almost everyfan loved this game for the history and characters, we didn't play the first part to save the freaking planet, we did it in order to see the history between Ellie and Joel, when we saw and felt how Joel retake a lost special feeling when travel with Ellie and know that he doesn't want to lose his new family. If I have to be honest I was afraid because I couldn't find the way to explain a new plot in order to justify a second part for this game. Now I know this was the worst way to do it, we literally have to play with the damn killer, and you try .. no, you make the player take some kind of empathy to this character and it doesn't work. At the end Ellie lost everything, the last chapter when Ellie went to California in order to find Abby was the worst idea I ever see; Ellie didn't reach her goal (well, she does, but at that point anything didn't have a sense. That fight was bland for me), and she end's alone (WTF).....
    I think they did this part after see they screw up at beginning. Literally 60% of history are flashbacks that are not flash (bad joke I know)....
    They show us characters without relevance and poor development that as you know if you played they died in bland way....
    SUMMARY, is a great game if you really don't care the plot, sadly this game for the most of us is not just the graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was boring way longer than needed and sought out to make the player hurt and destroy what was left of the other game. The ten hour side quest was boring and had crappy replacible characters if it would have stop a little bit earlier at the farm I would not be as mad but it push it self to villainnises the main character and force dumb decisions the last chapter was rush and pointless and yet you still don’t get revenge. In they end Ellie left without her family she had revenge and even her ability to use a getair the game play was good but it was drawn out way to long to make a 25 hour story it’s crush’s fans of the last game by giving a beloved character a terrible death. It makes you feel bad for even playing a gives the story a terrible ending. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like this game was written by a child who didn't even play the first game. They completely forgot that Joel is smart and unlikely to trust strangers. (If you played the first game you know this) Shoving him into a situation where he is helpless and giving him a pathetic death, he should've died to protect Ellie or something not this... I'm not mad that he died I'm mad at how he died and then they tried to make us sympathize with Abby. That did not work at all and I hated her all the way until the end and playing as her was boring. She deserved a death worse than Joel's but Ellie just walked away for no reason after everything she's been through to get to her and the hundreds of people she's killed. That would've redeemed the game if she at least got her revenge. This game was a disappointment and a waste of money. They ruined this franchise. I hope the writer for this game gets treated how they treated Joel. Expand

I had a small piece of hope that it would be at least somewhat good as I already expected Joel would probably die in the squeal just not in the way the leaks showed. When I played the game and saw how they made Joel/Tommy go against their characters, by telling these people where they live and their names when they do not know these people at all. The way Abby just kills Joel when at this point the player has no idea who Abby makes her insufferable. All the work they do to try and make her sympathetic does nothing. At the end of the game, I agree with Ellies's decision to still go after Abby cause 'it can't all be for nothing'. It does not make sense that she would almost just let Abby go, she had just killed a man to get information on where Abby is. The ending is inconsistent with Ellie's character, as the entire game she has been killing people to try and get to Abby, and it is stupid she did not just shoot her in the head. Ellie's ending is bad and she does not even get revenge if she had just killed her straight away all that would be different is she would still have 10 fingers. A waste of £160. Collapse Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game came out after 7 years of waiting. After telling one of the best stories portrayed in a video game drops the **** ball. The death of joel was almost enough for me to not want to play this game but I still gave it a fair chance. I thought what was clearly going to be a revenge story was still going to be great even though one of the best complex characters Naughtydog gave us was dead. Boy was I **** wrong. Besides giving us no true conclusion to the story you as a player are almost forced to like someone you clearly cannot. After Ellie goes after Abby to get her revenge you you as the player are forced to see the same techniques and tropes from the first game played out between Ellie and Dina/Abby and Lev. You see Ellie take the place of Joel wanting nothing but to get the job done while Dina tries to bond with you and almost make light of the entire journey youre on. If that isn't enough Dina plays almost no point in the game besides being a liability to you. She goes on the trip knowing full well she is possibly pregnant. She even states that shes at least a few weeks late on her period. If you know that you could possibly be pregnant why would you go on a trip where you could possibly die? Granted she does have this connection with Ellie but that connection isn't nearly strong enough for her to go on this revenge mission. Once she is outed as being pregnant she just stays in the hideout while Ellie goes alone until other characters join along on the revenge like Jesse. As the game progress's Ellie gets closer and closer killing every friend of Abby's only to decide not to continue after her because they don't have a lead. Throughout the entire time youre playing as Ellie you get flashbacks of Joel and Ellie together. Them celebrating her birthday or showing how Ellie now knows how Joel lied to her about the Fireflies and there being no cure. All these moments do nothing but spur you on to get your revenge for the Father that was taken from you. After deciding to give up on revenge out of nowhere Abby and Lev appear at the temp hideout and youre thrust into playing as Abby. Youre forced to see why Abby wants her revenge so badly. How Joel killed her father the doctor who Joel shoots in the operating room. This moment alone couldve been a great driving force in Abby's character but instead you're shown what she's done after killing Joel. How she's working with WLF and all theyre doing. You're forced to see the dynamic between Abby and her friends and honestly you just see how bad of a person Abby is. Besides sleeping with her ex who is already dating someone who's pregnant with his child you're forced to watch flashbacks of them together. I really wanted to know why was I forced to do this? All the energy I had up until this point is thrown away and now I'm just sitting here not caring about Abby and any of these other characters. As Abby is doing her job with WLF she gets captured and is saved by some Scars. After narrowly escaping death multiple times she decides to have a change of heart and go back and save them. After going through all these challenges and dangers she finally sees how her all her friends are dead, her and Lev go after revenge now. They make it to the hideout only to have her kill Jesse, almost kill tommy, beat Dina within a inch of her pregnant life and almost kill Ellie. At this point the story shifts and Ellie and Dina are now living in there lil happy home with their baby on a farm. You find out that even though they seem happy Ellie still can't handle what has happened to joel. She gets one last chance on revenge and she gives it up, SHE GIVES IT UP AND LETS ABBY GO FREE. If this wasn't a slap in the face the game ends showing that Ellie and Joel were going to try again at having a relationship, at being father and daughter. The scene you're shown is the night before the game essentially starts. You go off on this revenge story that is utterly pointless and worthless to the player. There is no lesson to be learned about revenge, there is no conclusion to help the player move on. Ellie just goes off now all alone back into the world. I love how Metacritic and Neil Druckmann didn't care about the reviews thinking this was just people basing their reviews off of Joel's death. It wasn't Joel's death that made this game bad for me it was the lackluster story with a bad ending that did it for me. The fact i'm forced the play as my enemy would have been ok. But the fact you try to make me like her is a **** After she kills Joel why should I like Abby? Should I like her because she saves a trans child and takes them under her wing? Hell no she's still a poorly written character who can't stand on her legs. Throughout the entire playthrough of Abby's story all I could do was see why Abby as a person is someone I couldn't be friends with. After waiting 7 years for a game I thought was going to be amazing it turned out to be a complete waste of my time. Expand

    However, in this game we have a lot of flaws, the character that is suposed to be a hero is one of the most hated (Abby) because the story make you first hate her to like her after, and to work on this you have to play 10 hours of abby and you're still traumatized by the first scenes.
    In gameplay terms is the same of the last game, that doesn't has so much appel as the story. In overral , the game looks like a visual tech.

    This game had everything in the world going for it. A strong story continuation of the first game, a strong fanbase, and a renowned studio creating this game. The game took two steps and fell on it's own face. A complete spit in the eye for all fans of the first game, and a failure of a story that will truly go down in history. Along with things like GOT and starwars.

    As LGBT+, I would say thanks for the representation, but no thanks. We are portrayed with the nuance Jerry Lewis showed Asians in 'Still Laughing’. As someone who has sexual relations on a regular basis, I can only say ‘ouch’ for poor Abby. Even Uckmann would have yelled out in pain

The only reason to play this game is to watch Joel die and then delete it because that’s the only thing this game hasn’t going for it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never reviewed a game before like this and actually created this account just to do this. The last of us part 2 is as poorly written as it is beautiful. After completing the very lengthy story of the game I truly still can’t comprehend why the writers of this game chose to treat these beloved characters with such disrespect. Joel’s death is something I won’t even get into because of how obvious it is on how disrespectful and poorly thought out it was. The rest of the story on the other hand is possibly the worst narrative I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. The story follows a revenge plot with no pay off mixed in with a confusing attempt to make the player play as and sympathize with the very person that committed the heinous act of brutally murdering Joel and other characters during the story. Throughout this time playing as Abby (which was nearly if not half of the game) I had zero empathy for her and her group of friends and was honestly just bored and not wanting to continue through the story. This boredom was also attributed to the games poor pacing as it would constantly throw you into intense pivotal scenes only to pull you into a flashback from years before. As much of a massive fan as I am of the original game I have never felt so disappointed and utterly betrayed as I have after experiencing the last of us part 2. This in my opinion even with the success in sales will forever be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history. Expand

    Easily the most disappointing game I’ve ever played. While the game performs great and the graphics are absolutely beautiful, there’s no getting over the fact that your forced to play as the most hated video game character for 10 hours. Games are supposed to be fun, I guess ND didn’t get the memo.

    The direction the story takes by removing a character the fandom was hoping to play as, to then switch them out to this other non relatable non likable character really ruined it for a lot of people.

    Was excited after playing TLOU, but this is just a kick in the face for all fans. Token characters with unbelievable stories and behavior just for the sake of making them more diverse is frustrating. Sorry to see such a good first part sink so low. What was Naughty Dog thinking?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game does extremely well with it's visuals, audio, and setting. But falters on the characters and gameplay, not innovating on either. But absolutely drops the ball on a boring and dead narrative that's barely intriguing at the best of times. The whole intro sets the entire tone for the rest of the game... disappointing. The intro skips four years, and does nothing to tell us what happened during that time, nor why there's a group of fireflies who have somehow managed to track Joel down in the middle of nowhere? Not to mention as a man who full well knows that he is being hunted, drops the ball on keeping up an alias. I have no major issues with Abby, but the plot for Joel to die lacking major impact because it just dropped it on you out of nowhere with no real lead up. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dear Naughty Dog,

    I just finished playing The Last of Us: Part II and I could not be more disappointed. Matching or even topping your original The Last of Us was a far stretch, and I don’t think that a lot of people were actually expecting you to do so. However, the critics are raving about TLOU2 ‘It’s a masterpiece’. The players have spoken too, and they think it’s a slap in the face. I agree with the other players.

    I really wanted to play with Ellie (and also Joel), but you have brutalized those beloved characters like they meant nothing. Joel gets killed by a nobody within the first hour of the game, and then Ellie is kind of going on a revenge mission but the game is not at all about that revenge. The game is about Naughty Dog’s double LGTBSETGGSWRGF (whatever letters are in it these days) community being shoved down players throats.

    No, I don’t care that I (Joel) killed Abby’s father in The Last of Us
    No, I don’t want to run around the woods for hours and hours with a few Asian people who have nothing to do with the main story.
    No, I don’t care about Abby
    No, I don’t want to play with Abby for 60% of the game
    No, I don’t want Abby to run around that hospital hallway for the 5th time in a nightmare playthrough
    No, I don’t want to run all over America to get some first aid kit for an Asian NPC I don’t care for. Amputate the arm and be done with it. It’s the apocalypse. I’ve killed hundreds of people in this game. I don’t give 2 cents about the people who helped me from getting hanged in the woods.
    No, walking simulator for hours and hours with Abby through camps, stadiums, hospitals and skyscrapers does not work for me to get any sympathy for Abby. She killed Joel, I don’t like her.
    Why does Abby need to show off her ‘superior' Hulk strength every 15 minutes?
    Why does Joel say his name within seconds of meeting complete strangers (and get’s killed for it)
    What did your team at Naughty Dog think when they laid out the plan for this game? Let’s start off with Ellie, let the player roam around with her for a few hours, and then in the end give Ellie back to the player for one lousy mission?
    Why do you, as a game company, lied in your TLOU2 trailers about Joel? ‘You didn’t think i’d let you do this on your own?’ This is false advertising.
    Why would I care about Owen, his dog or the Aquarium after pointless hours of roaming around there? I already KILLED them as Ellie. I love dogs, but telling a story this way does not give me any remorse whatsoever.
    Did you think players were going to enjoy hitting Ellie in the theatre and chasing her down? She’s Ellie for crying out loud.
    Tommy. He’s a character. Just for your information. He might be useful for the story?

    As you can see, there are some minor questions and issues I have with this game. The political and social agenda that has been shoved down my throat for hours was not entertaining or fun at all. I never thought there would be moments I would have liked to uninstall the game and just watch the ending cinematic online. I pushed through however, hoping that my pointless flashback with Abby would be short lived. Instead, I had to play for hours, and hours, and hours with a character who ruined the game for me. At one point during the sky elevator chapter, I just forgot who she was (on purpose) and said to myself that this was just another generic Tomb Raider or Uncharted video game. This is not The Last of Us. I will never play this game ever again, and I feel that Naughty Dog has lied to the gaming community. Maybe you should have just made a revenge game and let us kill all those monsters who killed Joel. Your writing is bad, and I don’t give 2 cents about your double agenda. You make entertainment products that are not entertaining. I was so glad the game was over. TLOU has some wonderful environments that are spoiled because I just ran past them at some point. Just to be done with it. I didn’t care anymore. Abby just ran into hordes of monsters and I enjoyed being killed by them. The credits should have rolled there and then. But hey, in the end we got to put some sheep in a barn with Ellie, that’s gotta count for something. I’m just sorry that we as a gaming community are the sheep and Naughty Dog is laughing in our faces. Maybe, in 2027 when The Last of Us Part III comes out, we can have a backstory about the armed soldier who killed Joel’s daughter in The Last of Us Part 1. Maybe we can get some sympathy for him as well. Good job Naughty Dog, by ruining a fantastic franchise. I hate The Last of Us Part 2.

    Game developers at the start gag your mouth with duct tape and next 25-30 hours you have no other option then following their scenario.
    And almost every move is so illogical, so absurd that it makes you sick. But your mouth is gaged so it's slowly filling with your own vomit.
    In the begging you admire fantastic graphics, landscape and environment with every little detail on it - it is really remarkable work.
    But in the middle of the game, where interesting plot twist (no spoilers!) is happening, and you are supposed to get very strong feelings of your previous actions - you feel nothing. You can not feel anything, because those were not your actions, those actions of game developers and you have mouth full of vomit because of those actions.
    And then the finale comes. At this moment your mouth is literally 1 second to explode. You have no other feelings except this torture to end. And game developers remove duct tape They explain you motivations of main heroes, their feelings, their metamorphosis, what they become. And you feel catarsys, you scream, but not because you emphathize to heroes. You scream because you finally free your mouth of this 25-30 hours of vomit.
    The story is great. Not original, but still great. And if it is told during 5 minutes it can even make your eyes wet. The graphics, landscapes, environment, music - all of this is fantastic.
    But with all those physically and mentally disgusting characters; illogical actions; forcefully shoved SJW content; not a single chance for player to make his own decision - all of those make make players to remember only taste of vomit in their mouths.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Close to platinum because I want people to understand that I have gone to the lengths required to fully review this game

    Graphics - 10 - With the leaps Naughty Dog has made in the years since the first game, this game is stunning to look at. The environment at times looks unbelievably real, and the characters are beautifully detailed. However, some visual glitches persisted throughout my playthrough and some actually were enough to completely ruin my immersion in the game. T-posing, bright red artifacts appearing whenever gore occurred and models ghosting through various objects. Unfortunate but in spite of that, the game is one of the best looking on the PS4

    Sound Design - 9 - This department absolutely popped off and created some of the most satisfying sounds I've ever heard in a game. Cleaning and creating weapons, shooting and reloading, and having a weapon make contact with an impactful thud all add to immersing the player in the game. Absolutely phenomenal work.

    Level Design - 5 - Fantastic decision to use Seattle as the setting for the game, but abysmal direction for not utilizing it more other than a few sparse enemies here and there. Encounters can be boiled down to: explore wide open area, kill 4-8 enemies, explore some more. The level design is top notch, but with so little enemy encounters it can at times feel like a playable tech demo meant to look pretty with no real substance behind it.

    Gameplay - 7 - Mechanically plays the same as the original for better or worse. The game is clunky and rough to handle at times which is to be expected unfortunately. This series was never well-known for it's groundbreaking gameplay so it's serviceable at best, but it's a shame they didn't attempt to .work upon an obviously aged aspect of the game.

    Story - 0 - This is where the game falls apart. The Last of Us, regardless of what the writers try to justify, was about the relationship of Joel & Ellie. A man who had lost his child at the onset of the outbreak, and a teenager who had lost her parents travel together across the country to find a dubious organization known as the Fireflies. They bond over the course of the Journey and become inseparable. Joel made the decision to save Ellie from the group who was willing to murder a child for a cure that had VERY slim chances at succeeding, and even then after the entire course of the game along with multiple lore sources the question was brought up "Would a cure even matter at this point?". The second game immediately derails this by painting Joel's actions as the wrong one, and spends most of its run time attempting to show Joel in as bad of a light as possible barring some flashbacks that should have been the basis of the game to begin with. Ellie is reduced to a bitter villain through the course of her journey which is made to make the player feel awful as Abby & Lev are propped up as the "new" Joel & Ellie which wouldn't need to occur if Neil & Halley had followed through on "Honoring Ellie and Joel specifically". By the end of the game most of the cast introduced has been needlessly and brutally murdered by both Ellie and Abby. **** saying that Abby should have died, the whole game should not have been made at this point because the credibility of the studio has now been put into question and they've rendered the entire first game pointless because of their efforts.

    This game series was brought up to its "Pillar of Gaming" status due to the story, nothing else. The fact that valid criticisms are being disregarded or generalized is completely disgusting, and it's such a shame because this game could have been a story about hope and forgiveness. Instead all that's left is anger and shame.

    3. Los chasqueadores todos son mujeres y con la mismo modelo además de que los modelos de los demás enemigos te podías encontrar con tres NPC iguales en un mismo edificio hay muchas cosas repetidas.
    2. Hay veces que en algunos escenarios se baja mucho la calidad del escenario como tal.
    Cómo dije anteriormente el juego destaca por su sonido sus gráficos y la forma en que interactuas con el control para todo pero eso no lo justifica nada

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II.
