    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game isn’t it. To say that men and homophobes have an issue with this game is insulting and disregards the fact that you have to play the game as a Abby while she wants to kill Ellie. What happened to this game honestly? I’m a woman, and it’s sad that I’ll have to announce that when giving a score to this game to be able to show that MEN aren’t the only ones upset, and I’m not a homophobe. Now that I’ve cleared that up, this story does not compare to TLOU1 and the gameplay doesn’t either when players are forced to play as the antagonist in over 10 hours. The theme for this game is obviously ‘revenge bad’ but still Abby should get away with killing the lead character from the first game without any repercussions? Lmao I can’t do anything else but laugh at this point. I could’ve spent my money on other things and this feels like a waste of time and money to be honest.… Expand

    The game itself looks really nice however as a fan of the first game I feel that the story of this game dose not come close to part 1 , there is no bond with the new characters and no loyalty to the old ones, it's a revenge plot where you fail at getting revenge

    My main issues with the game are as follows
    1. Destroying Joel's character and killing him off the in the first hour of the game.
    2. Spending 10ish hours playing as a character I loath.
    3. After going through everything we don't even get the payoff of killing Abby at the end.
    4. The gameplay feels extremely outdated and boring and felt more like a chore by the end.    … Expand

    This takes the 1st place as the worst sequel ever made.I see lot of reviews giving points for graphics or gameplay.If you want those just play RDR2,it does it better.Thats not what made the first one a masterpiece,it was the story.And they wrote the story with indentity politics in mind.It is so bad that sometime you think its taken from a fan fiction website.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Прошел игру на PS4 Pro, купив ее в день релиза. Ожидал, что что-то может пойти не так, сливы были весьма настораживающими, но решил поверить репутации студии ND, которая всегда выдавала только потрясающие игры.
    Так сильно я еще не ошибался. Мне не жаль потраченного времени, тем более мне не жаль потраченных денег (в конце концов, художники, нарисовавшие прекрасную графику должны что-то есть) - мне жаль потраченных нервов. Не могу сосчитать количество моментов, когда я либо пробивал себе голову от лютых фейспалмов от тупости поведения персонажей, либо орал в телек, что так не может быть.

    Что меня разочаровало больше всего:

    -Сюжет. А точнее, его отсутствие. С такой завязкой сносной концовки просто не могло случиться. Если бы Элли убила Эбби в конце - это была бы банальная история о мести. Но она хотя бы принесла моральную разрядку игрокам. Если бы не убила - мы и так видим результат в оценках игроков и всеобщем негодовании.
    -Персонажи. Поведение персонажей просто противоречит здравому смыслу. Начиная от начала игры, где Джоэл просто выдает всю информацию незнакомцам, при этом даже не ожидая засады (что в корне противоречит характеру персонажа и тому, ПОЧЕМУ этот персонаж так долго живет в мире пост-апокалипсиса), заканчивая концовкой игры, где Элли щадит Эбби.
    Это не история о ненависти и прощении. Это история о тупости.
    -Однообразный и затянутый геймплей. Игра не изменилась ни на йоту. Это все та же TLoU 2013го года. Боты все такие же тупые. Зомби все такие же раздражающие. Головоломки все так же вызывают зевоту и желание скорее с ними покончить. Игру просто неинтересно проходить.
    -Эбби. И нет, мне плевать на то, как она выглядит, и что она сделала. Не плевать мне на то, что персонаж - пустой болванчик, которого вплели в сюжет, чтобы создать конфликт, который ни к чему не привел. Сегмент за нее точно так же не имеет никакого смысла, кроме растягивания продолжительности игры, и не раскрывает персонажа совершенно никак.

    Что мне понравилось:
    -Превосходная картинка.
    -Звук
    -Игра актеров. Пусть из их рта и вылетал дикий бред, но бред этот был самозабвенный и не вызывал чувства, что актер отрабатывает повинность. Говорю я сейчас об англоязычной версии, ибо проходил я игру именно в ней.

    Пусть Нил Дракман и думает, что создал очень обсуждаемую игру за счет того, что в ней присутствуют controversial персонажи и сюжетные повороты. На деле это не так.
    Игра просто пустая и я чертовски удивлен тому, насколько студия упала в грязь лицом, создав такой проект. Никто не обсуждает сюжет за его глубину, неоднозначность и "О боже, там есть лгбт персонажи". Обсуждают игру за ее поверхность и полное отсутствие идеологии.    … Expand

For example they could have had him fight off a large group of people and infected and die in an epic last stand scenario with corpses of men and infected scattered around a large area. Not this **** with Abby. And speaking of Abby, she should have died in the end, but no she lived and god knows where she went.

    Absolute disappointment, the story sucks, the graphics are meh, and if you are looking to create sexism where there is none well you've achieved that. If I met this tyrant of a being (I wouldn't even call it human) in reality I'd hit it with a shovel, so good job for making everyone feel like that. Hopefully when the world stop catering to the mentally ill we can have our peace back.

    I can’t believe they spent “7 years” on the follow up to the masterpiece that was the first title in this franchise and came up with this. For those who’s main straw man is “oh they didn’t like the lgbt aspects that’s why the didn’t like it,” this couldn’t be further than the truth. I have no problem with inclusion from all walks of life as long as the story is compelling.

I have no problem with inclusion from all walks of life as long as the story is compelling. That being said, what a **** MESS Neil **** and his team came up with. While the graphics are above average, I am judging this as a story driven game, just as the first one was. And boy, what an absolute mess the story is. More than deserving of a 0/10, TLOU2 is a forced, contrived, repetitive plot that **** on the previous attachments and submits the player to a ridiculous “revenge bad” lesson that no one gains anything from. Christ you’d think 7 years and they would have found a better route to take this franchise. Characters show up and die for seemingly no reason at all, pacing is completely off compared to the first game, character development is nowhere to be found. It seems as if the writers took a vacation when it came to writing compelling characters. Forcing us to play as Abby for 10 whole hours was a very questionable decision. I can’t even believe I finished this game. By the end of my 25 hours, I have never felt less satisfaction from a game that I spent $60 on. It was so out of character for Ellie to not finish the job after killing 100s of characters on her way to make Joel’s death worth something. I don’t care what anyone says; the ending to this game was an absolute travesty, nothing is gained or learned, the developers assume you have never seen a movie before and force the revenge is bad element so damn hard that it takes you completely out of the game. This should’ve been a separate title as it is completely unbelievable that this is attached to a franchise that garnered as much acclaim as the first one. I feel bad for those who animated the game as there was definite effort put into the visual aspects, but all seems for not in the end. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME IF YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST ONE. The sheep who were paid to review this positively were done so to mislead you, this is definitely one you can skip.… Expand

    DO NOT BUY IT!
    Graphics and gameplay is pretty nice, but that’s all.
    Most of us were liking the the first part because of the amazing story and Charakter Development. The bonding Story of Ellie and Joel was amazing. We could cry, laugh and be happy and angry with them.
    But now they just completely change the Charakter of Ellie and kill Joel right at the beginning? That’ dog ****.
    Also the you have to play have the Game with Abby who tortured and killed Joel. I absolutely hated that.
    Also I have the feeling that they have stretched the game quite a lot because of all the unnecessary long ways. I absolutely didn’t have that in the first part.
    Every Charakter was just lame. In comparison the bow and traps friend of Joel in the first part was way more interesting then all of new characters in this game.
    Also Ellie kills hundreds of people on here way for revenge and then she rescues and spares her main target Abby even though she tortured and killed Joel, she nearly killed Tommy and she killed Jessie.
    That’s just a lot of bull ****.

The graphics were amazing and that's the only thing that was good about this game. The story lacked and everything about it screamed that this isn't the last of of us. Killing off Joel in the beginning of the game was a slap to the face of people that enjoyed the first game. I don't know who or how these decisions came to be but this game has let so many down and in all honesty naughty dog should feel let down as well, you guys and girls have decided that you didn't care for your fans and went with such a negative turn that this game needs to be thrown away and started again. The only way to save this is to make amends and to release a new last of us that we all deserve. I wont give this game a zero because that would be wrong but a solid 1 is what it deserves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really don't want to write this, because it hurts like hell.
    But this game is a complete joke. Sure there are a few good parts in the game (mostly flashbacks to Joel and Ellie tho, I really enjoyed those). It was a cool idea to view things from 2 different angles, I have to give them that, but they did it wrong. What Abby did so early in the game causes no one to have any sympathy for her for the rest of the game, her sad story does not change the opinion we have about her. If only they put that in a different order, maybe it could've worked better.

    Character development... well I guess I can see what they were going for? But poorly executed, everything the characters in part 1 stood for was chugged out of the window. We know Ellie and Joel from the first game and we know their stories and where they come from, but they seem so empty in part 2. They are not the same people at all. They ruined the ending as well, I don't even care that Ellie let Abby go, what bothers me the most is that she now lost 2 fingers, which makes her pretty useless for a sequel, if there will ever be one, that is.

    Gameplay wise, yah it's pretty nice, I'll give that, felt smooth.
    Graphic wise, very good.

    About the whole SJW thing, I really do not care if a character is lesbian, or trans, I really do not care. But it is clear this game is ruined by politics, which makes me sad and angry beyond belief.

    I just hope this all turns out to be some kind of **** up dream or something, otherwise I have no hopes for a part 3, because well, Ellie's hand is ruined, no way she can hold a weapon now and I refuse to play as Abby ever again. Hopefully she magically grows those fingers back or something.

    I really hate to say this, but I feel like this franchise, which had so damn much potential... is ruined. Well done devs. This game is an absolute joke and an insult to the first game as well as to us, the fans of the original. As if someone beat the game to death with a golf club and spit on it's lifeless body.    … Expand

    A pointless 30 hour journey filled with forced oxymoronic narrative choices that comes off as confused and/or clueless at best, tonedeaf and/ or stupid at worst.

    The visual presentation is nothing short of stellar and a few areas being so open invites a pseudo open world like feel in an otherwise linear game, allowing for enough freedom for the savvy explorers.

    The visual presentation is nothing short of stellar and a few areas being so open invites a pseudo open world like feel in an otherwise linear game, allowing for enough freedom for the savvy explorers.

    Audio design may be hit or miss but ND nailed it for the most part.

    That however is the end of the good....

    The game meanders with one too many "dead ends" and shifting perspectives that attempts to make players empathize with the cast and yet achieved nothing as it is an impossible task to begin with. And all of it culminates to the most unsatisfying and pathetically hypocritical writing I've ever experienced out of any of ND's narrative driven outings.

    If you're here looking for a strong character driven and sensible narrative ala the 1st game, then look elsewhere. The causality in this game's narrative is as irrational as it is illogical to the point of stupidity and pointlessness.

    If you're into the gameplay then I can see a good 3 or so playthroughs with the new game plus option ls total before you get bored of it all or annoyed. Accessibility options are there for those inclined for a more streamlined experience, which is a bonus I suppose.


    All in all, if you're a fan of the original who are invested in the world building and characters, this game will come off as a spit to your face and a waste of 30 hours of your life. If you're a casual fan that are in it for the gameplay then have fun.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game yesterday and honestly, I'm just frustrated. I played TLOU 1 for the first time in 2014 (the remastered edition) and I loved it, so I was very hyped when the sequel was announced. The thing is this game is just awful. I was able to avoid all mayor spoilers but if I knew this was going to be this bad, I wouldn't have spent 70 dollars in this crap.
    SPOILERS BELOW

    Now, to start, the graphics are great but the gameplay is pretty much like in TLOU1 with some new additional mechanics. They could've changed the general gameplay in those 7 years between 1 and 2, but after all, it works. Those are the only things "good" things I can say about this game.

    Now, why the game sucks.
    Just within the first 2/3 hours not only does the game has major plot holes, but it kills Joel. Literally, it just kills him in the worst way possible. The problem with this is that Joel is the best character of the first game, and to have him killed of like that just sucks. Joel's death is the reason why Ellie sets out on a revenge quest... which hardly feels as one. Not a single moment makes you feel like you are avenging Joel, it just feels like Ellie going in a killing rampage just because of the sake of it.

    Then there is the problem with Ellie. My issue isn't with her being a lesbian. No, the problem is that she is not the likable and compelling character that she was in the first game, her personality is weak and she's just a plain, unlikable teenager that kills people. She is no longer that great character that transformed Joel in the first game. Apart from that, the game sets her in a revenge quest, in which she kills lots of people in order to reach and kill Abby(Joel's killer) only to let her go because, apparently, violence is bad (even tho you've just killed hundreds of people in the last 24 hours). It makes the game pointless and it sucks, because the ONLY person you really wanted to kill is the only one that you can't, it's just crap.

    Other issue with this game is the hole Abby thing. The fact that you must use her as a character half of the time sucks. Why would I want to play as Joel's killer? She's a bad character and it's impossible to enjoy playing as her. I bought the game to play with either Joel or Ellie, not this crappy character.

    And finally, in consequence of this, the game ends up being just... violence, which for a 24-hour game ends up being repetitive. The first one was violent, sure, but it also had great storytelling, great characters and character development. This game lacks one of the best things about its predecessor that is the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

    I waited this game for years and for them to make such a terrible one just disappointed me. They introduced a new, awful character who you are forced to play with, destroyed Ellie's character and killed off Joel, their best character, in the worst and stupidest way possible. The story ended up being crap and ruined what could've been one of the best franchises in videogame history. I’m giving this game a 2 instead of a 1 only because of the gameplay and graphics. Do yourself a favour and don't buy it, save that money.    … Expand

    Really enjoyed the game. I appreciate that we get to play as Donkey Kong, really bold move by Naughty Dog. Too bad the script was written by an actual monkey. Gameplay is truly innovative, now we are using ropes instead of ladders. I rate it -10/10, because it has a little something for everyone.

    However that's in no way going to make this a good game because it's just messed up beyond all recognition. If you loved the first game like I did you will find nothing but disappointment here.
    While I do hate that political correctness has been injected into this game in various ways it's not the main reason to not play it, that goes to the terrible writing and direction that the story takes.
    The characters of Joel and Ellie are nothing like they were, they're now both clueless and senseless idiots, Abby is not likeable or sympathetic to trying to force players to like her is ridiculous, Joel's death wasn't unexpected but goddamn it was so poorly done that it was nothing less than insulting and the ending was probably the second worst part, after the golf scene, because it doesn't do anything. Nobody learns anything, no revenge is completed (except Abby's) and now we're just expected to leave everything unresolved and be happy with it cos "Joel plays guitar so everything is alright."
    Naughty Dog has ruined this game for political ideology, a story that is not deep, interesting, well written, artistic or clever, it's terrible messaging and it's complete lack of understanding of why people loved this franchise. The character interaction and development is gone and spat in our faces.
    Terrible, terrible game.

    (And before you say it's because I'm a bigot or right wing or anything like that, read it again. The main negativity is the story and how it was written.)    … Expand

    The game seemed amazing at first and even Joel's death didn't make me dislike the game because I thought like many others that the devs would have utilised his death to make an amazing revenge story(We was wrong). Later on you play as Abby, the killer of Joel, for quite a significant amount of time. This completely made me lose interest in the games story because I didnt care for Abby as a character at all really. Later on I realised that Joel was dropped into scenes in the trailer, where in the game he wasn't even in them scenes and he was replaced by other characters. Naughty Dog has really flopped with this one and I think they should pull the game from stores and do the fans right by changing the story.    … Expand

In contrast this game states everything is black or white while quite literally spitting on the first games legacy. With scenes specifically made to be only shock factor, and leave you feeling sick at your stomach because you don't even get a proper resolution despite it being well within your grasp. And that is unforgivable and would lower any score dramatically if the reviewer did their job properly.… Expand

The problems lie with the story. The relationship between Ellie and Dina is portrayed very well, but the treatment of Joel does feel like a slap in the face to someone invested in this series. Naughty Dog has tried to make us sympathetic with the character Abby who kills Joel, but this part of the story is grossly mishandeled. After this, the player is then forced to play half of the game as Abby who is a flat and unlikable character even with the issues pertaining to Joel aside. Huge dissappointment after a 7 year wait.

Using Joel's death as a PLOT DEVICE to "motivate" Ellie for revenge?!!!?!?! You literally had every option open to you so "genius" Bruckmann says "Hey! Let's kill Joel! The players will LOVE IT!"

    This REEKS of idiocy that panders to the most simple minded individual and tries to pass itself off as "thought provoking" and "intellectually stimulating."

    Then to flip the script and be stuck as someone that just killed off one of the most cherished characters for the first game, with not even the illusion of choice at the end is INSULTING.

    People whining about "well you didn't play past ______ so you're opinion and review shouldn't count!" Tell you what? I have this carton of milk here. It may or may not have been sitting out for an entire week. But you can't have an opinion about it until you finish the entire carton. And you can't smell it. And regardless of how it tastes, you MUST finish it before I care about your opinion." You honestly think every single person that hated on this game in the first three days should not immediately go get their refund because they must endure 15-20 MORE hours of a game they hate before they can voice their displeasure? If that were the case, every person whining about Donald Trump should have shut their traps until 2020 when they can actually vote his a$$ out of office. (I didn't vote for him and he needs to go!)

    Do yourself a favor, if you're on the fence about this title, go watch a stream or a play through. The graphics and detail rocks, the sound and voice acting are good, and the gameplay will likely feel familiar to you from the first title. But if you're not sure you can endure 25-28 hours of a story you may or may not like, watch a few hours first. You'll at least know what lies ahead before you spend your money.    … Expand
