    This game is just heart breakingly disappointing comparing this to previous Naughty Dog titles and feels like major kick in the face compared to the first game. It lacks all the organic subtlety and beautiful character relationships of the first game. There are so many ham fisted attempts to get players to feel a certain way that they can see it a mile away as shallow and forced.

It lacks all the organic subtlety and beautiful character relationships of the first game. There are so many ham fisted attempts to get players to feel a certain way that they can see it a mile away as shallow and forced.
    The lack of different beats through this game made it dull and repetitive. Almost the entire game focuses on showcasing as much gore and how "dark" the game is while flashbacks of happier times appear to add no meaning to the plot.
    The writers want you to feel morally gray and think about all the npc's as being people and yet lack the time and effort in humanizing them which leaves you with subpar characters that are one dimensional. Either that or the main characters have drastic mood swings jumping from one morality to another instead of properly building character development and don't appear to reflect real human beings. The game seems to hold itself on a high pedestal for showcasing a diverse ethnic cast with people of various different sexual orientations yet appear to use them as a gimmick or they have no development or they get killed off quickly.
    It's just incredibly sad to see how this company appears to have dropped the ball on such a beautiful franchise. I wanted to love this game so badly and I just couldn't when I see them hit every writing mistake you should never do in a story. It just seems like these wasn't enough testing of the game to make sure everything read well and hit the correct target audience.
    Note that I also wasn't spoiled by any leaks. I saw this game with fresh eyes and it still made me disappointed. The game is pretty and gameplay is fun which are it's only saving graces.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2 was an overall depressing departure from what we came to love in the original. Characters were uninteresting. Gameplay was basically unchanged despite some minor changes. Can not deny the visuals are beautiful. However, nothing will remedy the fact that 10 hours of the game should have been avoided and should be avoided entirely. What was anticipated as a major success, really turned out to be a major bust. If this were a standalone game perhaps it wouldn’t be as bad. Sadly this is a sequel to a much beloved game, that does very little to improve upon it, if not muddy the waters. #sad… Expand

Honestly this is the first time I have every had to make a review on a game ever so sorry for that but I’m done with all of this game and it’s bs I’m now 17 I played the first game while I was 10 still remember so much and the good old days wasn’t accually a fraise we all would say but I’m give it maybe a 0 becaus I’m pissed and that is because of I’m pissed the fact is why would u trick us with ohh Joel is going to be there throughout the game and then immediately kill him i the first two hour of the game it was a joke but hey maybe if we got to kill Abby and the full team boom we get fengness like bruh as soon as I saw that I had to sit there on stream so fusrated like omg I finally play this game and now that I finished I’m so frustrated that all day I sit there saying why why would u do this and then make me play as here and beat up Ellie then leave us off we’re Abby is all good in her boat but Ellie can’t play guitar and lost her fam and let her live so bad. Like I don’t care about Abby but hey they could have at least done something better like we start off a little bit out of Jackson and have to make our way there go actually through the full game as both Characters and maybe throughout the game u get choices u got to make as Abby and when that day we saw in the first hour of the game u can choose to to save Joel because abbys squad don’t like him too and Joel saved Abby so then we could Have Abby giving that back to him after her friends attacked him but idk just can’t get this out of my head anymore so frustrating to know I can’t play as Joel in the next game and now I can never play the first game ever without rembering what happened in the 2 but honestly rip Joel one of the greatest characters to ever be in a game :(… Expand

    To start: yes I played the entire game start to finish. I avoided spoilers, was prepared to hurt, and confident that even if TLoU II wasn’t as good as the first one, there would be things I would enjoy about it and the story would be amazing if not utterly devastating. I adored the first game and couldn’t even imagine the sequel being anything close to something I could hate. This wasTo start: yes I played the entire game start to finish. I avoided spoilers, was prepared to hurt, and confident that even if TLoU II wasn’t as good as the first one, there would be things I would enjoy about it and the story would be amazing if not utterly devastating. I adored the first game and couldn’t even imagine the sequel being anything close to something I could hate. This was especially true as I watched one critic review after another glorify the game to no end and declare that what ND had produced was a near “flawless masterpiece”.
    Now, after investing nearly 30 hours into the game and throughly processing my thoughts and emotions, I can only wonder if I even played the same game as these other people. The Last of Us Part II is visually beautiful and has a play style that is enjoyable and reminiscent of it’s predecessor, the unoriginal mechanics have improved little over the last 7 years and have only a few things about them to make the game stand out. The redundant encounters along with lack of customization and rewards for exploration however are unable to compensate for the one-dimensional story-line that is overly predictable and made worse by a cringe worthy set of new characters who bog down the emotional impact ND seems to have so miserably failed to deliver. It’s crazy to me, that such a long campaign somehow manages to feel so extremely rushed, thrown together, and chaotic all at the same time. And while there are a few tear jerker moments and a handful of new faces that did have incredible potential (Jesse & Dina for example are fantastic) they are all put on the back-burner or severely outweighed by piles of uninteresting and poorly developed chapters centered on highly unlikable characters like Abby, who take a tremendous amount of effort to connect with at all. This factor is so overwhelming that it makes it difficult to grasp how anyone could possibly finish the game and say with a straight face they thought this is in any way, shape, or form a satisfying journey or conclusion.
    I also find it completely idiotic that anyone believes that the issue with this game is some kind of a “SJW agenda”. Ellie’s sexuality, and the few other diverse mentions, can hardly be classified as a distraction or negative to the game. I actually found her relationship with Dina to be very endearing and one of the few story points I liked. I was even excited to see such a diverse cast, but being that all LGBTQ+ and characters of color here are disgustingly mistreated—either dying anti-climatically/horribly, barely used, quickly forgotten, and/or have endings so miserable its a struggle to understand why they were added at all.
    The Last of Us 2 makes it easy to feel lost.
    Nothing about this sequel brings closure and the only thing you’ll be wondering after you’ve finished it is “what was the the point?”
    The concept of “revenge wrRoNg” is a lesson that could be taught from Disney children’s show’s or derived from common sense and yet Naughty Dog chose to spend their entire time stating the obvious through uneventful means, frustrating and un-engaging story-telling, and by spitting on the very shades of grey choices and characters that once made this series great.
    I wish that I could say that the handful of good moments this game has made the time and money you could spend on it worth while....but the best way to describe this entire experience would be disappointing and pointless...Like GoT or the Star Wars sequels you feel like you have to finish it to the end (if you can even force yourself to do so—which, for me literally felt like an effort at times) but once you do, you just wish you had saved yourself the trouble. While it’s great to subvert fan expectations and introduce twists and turns throughout the plot, such decisions need to be executed properly and in the correct order; not wildly smashed together with under-developed story additions and highlighted by empty deaths scenes that do little other than provide shock value...another trait that has already been done repeatedly and much better. I feel like users that see no problem with TLoU2 are like individuals who insist that The Last Jedi is “misunderstood” and fans “just need to embrace different ideas” sounding like you are listening to a self-proclaimed “intellectual” that trying to convince us that **** flung at the wall is somehow “art” when in reality it really just is...actual **** Sometimes, being “different” for the sake of being different isn’t artistic, it’s just distasteful and lazy.
    I respect and encourage anyone willing to play the game to decide for themselves how they feel about it as simply reading a synopsis does not give a complete picture/warrant a full review...but, the warnings that there is a good chance this game will leave you feeling like you wish you could just take a hot shower and forget everything you just witnessed are not far off. Overall score: 3/10    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I completed The Last of Us Part II. And I hated it.

    First of all, the score of Gustavo Santaolalla is just perfect. The gameplay is great. The graphics are awesome (except some scenes, like the model of Ellie in the flashbacks of the last minute of the original game). Now, TLOU is a heavily story-based game. And this sequel lacks completely coherence, originality and meaning. It's bad writing at it finest.

    Look, I loved the first game. It's characters, their bond, the ambiance, the soundtrack... But this one just doesn't feel like a real sequel. The only moments I felt like I was playing a real sequel of the last of us were in the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie.
    I'm okay with Joel dying, but the way it happens its just poorly written. It isn't "brave"; It's cheap. The whole -parent figure dying and fuels the journey of his kid in name of revenge- is overused. Also the whole "revenge is bad" is extremely overused. And at last, -forgiving the enemy to not become an horrible person-let go the past- cliche, has been reused so many times that it has become comical. By the way, most of the game is filled up with a lot of plot holes and the pacing of the story is so tedious and boring.
    And, at last: Abby. She's unlikable. Her character has pretty much no depth. We are forced to play as her for sooo many hours in a game that was supposed to be an Ellie's new adventure. It almost seemed to be more like an Abby's stand-alone game. And if that were the case (without including Joel or Ellie and ruining their arc's), we wouldn't mind.

    So, to sum up: Loved the soundtrack, graphics and part of the gameplay (which can get very repetitive, and boring due to the slow pacing and the story) Absolutely hated the story and writing, direction and purpose of it.

    This ain't The Last of Us. At least, not for me.    … Expand

    (with respect) translated from Spanish to English.

    Anita Sarkesian love letter by Neil druckman.

    good to start we will highlight the good, graphics, ia, modeling, ready that is the good (now the bad and what is loaded to everything you name above).
    To start I want to clarify before they tell me homophobic and blah blah blah I'm not, since 1 (in the dlc) already knew about elly and it didn't seem bad to me.
    The game in plot terms is a complete GARBAGE (and do not come to me with that of a dark game for dark times) first in the 2 or 3 hours of the start they **** on one of the best characters in history in a CYNICAL AND WITHOUT SENSE, Joel is killed by abby so cruelly that he makes us hate hatred of abby's own character (or whatever) in addition to another character like Neil druckman spitting on Joel's body and making fun of him (in fact the actor from this character later on Twitter made fun of Joel as well so confirm my theory).
    But instead of complaining about what Miles already says, I'm going to contribute something from me for this, this is nothing more and nothing less than a script that tries to be cryptic giving a message in the style of death stranding (although death stranding is a better game by far) the moral that everyone understood is revenge is bad but other than that goes that Neil druckman wanted to represent the heterosexual white man through Joel and a transgender person through abby and they wondered what represents elly, well elly does not represent a person if not a decision and what decision? The one of the patriarchy and the one of the white man, the movie hero or the one of the inclusion and justification of abby, therefore tlou2 makes the player feel guilty of what elly is and makes you try to understand how elly made the right decision to Assuming Abby had a justification for doing what she did (revenge is bad when it comes to killing a transgender but not for spitting on Joel's face and doing many other things without any argumentative justification) nor talking about Elly losing everything so that at the end he said "better not" is a NO sense of argument and is THE WORST WRITTEN IN HISTORY, so Neil druckman only used the characters to represent ideologies and stereotypes that he based on his own ideology decided to kill and mock in the game (it goes without saying that the TOTAL INFLUENCE OF ANITA SARKESIAN is noticeable) if that were not enough, she also wants to make a tlou3 that I imagine will be some garbage like that and that will use this pseudo-descriptive plot structure p To represent ideologies and distill hatred towards the one who does not like it (basically the right).
    Also druckman can not say homophobic and haters to those who put a bad grade since the one as I say above had a very good reception and already knew about elly.
    Therefore, as the bad story does not allow the discerning player to enjoy the other aspects and makes you play with a hateful character (and who is more powerful abby because that ideology is more powerful) the game is titled "a card of love Anita Sarkesian "and her grade is 0.    … Expand

No the characters are laughable just how stupid they killed off Joel then added a character named Abby to which has no back story. or even mentioned in the first game, and don't get me started on the plot because that **** is all over the place while making the player play as Abby through 70% of the game **** that let us play as Ellie and Tommy not that ****. Man **** this game naughty dog should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this piece of **** of a game. Like | said before the story made no sense at all and the only time it was good when Ellie and Joel were together talking. This game also felt like a cheap jump scare to try and make it more spooky and even had a walking dead feel to it by bringing up that 2 characters are pregnant. Just no hell Joel even felt out of character to which in the first game he ran over a guy who claimed to have a injured leg while in this game he tells some random strangers who he and his brother is and where the camp is. Like what are these idiots thinking when writing this who gave the okay to let something like this even be released naughty dog I'm honestly 100% mad at you.

    If this review helps anyone my advice DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT ALL once I am able to I am asking for a refund on this game money wasted on a piece of **** of a so called game and if you want a better game go play the first one better than this piece of ****    … Expand

    It would be totally fine if this is not "Part II" but a whole new story. Now it just seems like Naughty Dog is mocking the Part I fans.

    TLOU2 is the game with the worst story I have ever played in my life. No matter how good the gameplay is, a failed game TLOU2. Please don't bring it up and I hope this game will not receive the GOTY award this year. Because he doesn't deserve it.

    This has nothing to do with homophobic or transphobic attitudes and just wants to point out a honest review about a story-driven game.

    First of all, the gameplay, the graphics and the mechanics are clearly on top as expected. It's amazing how naughty dog always pushes the console to its limits to present a very good looking and well playable game. When it comes to the main part of    This has nothing to do with homophobic or transphobic attitudes and just wants to point out a honest review about a story-driven game.

    First of all, the gameplay, the graphics and the mechanics are clearly on top as expected. It's amazing how naughty dog always pushes the console to its limits to present a very good looking and well playable game.

    When it comes to the main part of TLOU2 which is the storyline, I have to say I really tried to feel the storytelling, but I didn't had any emotions at all beside three little moments. (Beginning, Flashbacks and the very end in the cutscene, not the playable end)

    Playing more than 50% of the time as a character who is hated deeply, mainly causes the problem that we don't get the chance to take the main and side characters to our heart. All of you who played the first part can agree my statement when I say that the characters from TLOU1 are the only ones, to who we have an emontional relation with. All other characters in Part2 are more or less meaningless.

    After a few days since I finished the game I clearly have some disappointment in me because I am a huge fan of Part 1 and Part 2 doesn't come anyway near. So I don't blame Neil Druckman alone for the poor written story. I mean, such a big studio should be able to handle a quality management. When I watched the credits at the end of the game and reached the part "Quality Testers" I literally thought: "OMG - You had one job". I don't really know if they were quality testers of the story tough.

    I mean, a studio what brang along masterpieces like Uncharted and a godlike game like TLOU 1 should be able to know what a good game shoud look like.

    Personal opinion about Naughty Dogs reaction:
    Claiming fans bots, transphobic or homophobic is clearly a childish behaviour when it comes to defend themselves because of the poor reviews. I mean there are people who are more tolerant related to theses points than others but I dare to say 90% of the people have a common sense and know how to criticize a game. Ok maybe the word selection could be better sometimes tough.

    However, all the hatings and discussions give TLOU2 more and more publicity what ND doesn't deserve with this regrettably poor written game.    … Expand

The story side is utterly garbage. They tried to disconnect themselves from the first game by being aggressively progressive in their story, but by doing so they disconnect themselves from the gamers.

    It’s a shame really, the complexity of the characters are nonexistent in the second one. I hope whoever decided this was a good direction will be fired or replaced from naughty dog. I legit returned this game when they killed Joel, and forced me to play as Abby. GTFOH. Abby is as complex as a piece of rock.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I completed the game in roughly 30 hours on Hard Mode

    Major spoilers.

    First off, the game has what we all agree on is good graphics, and similar gameplay with no real improvements from the first game 7 years ago. While the gameplay is still quite fun, it is dragged down by senseless side quest objectives and a garbage story line with terrible characters development. This kicks in when you play as Abby, which is really obnoxious and feels like a chore. I found the Rat King (THICCC BOI) to have better character development and build up than her in every way.

    A lot of the sections were interesting, the first open area Seattle environment was interesting, it felt like Metro Exodus in a way, until it becomes more linear with some exploration into safes, supplies, etc. One thing I found really disappointed by was when I was forced to play Abby, which honestly felt at least like 10 hours at least. This wasn’t advertised in anyway at all. Especially after watching her beat a beloved character to death. Just a small taste of my experience with this game, honestly save your money for Ghosts of Tsushima that releases next month. This game is just a miserable experience for the player, and it excels at that. Neil **** tries to subvert expectations but really just proves to be a laughing stock. This game is and will not be GOTY. CyberPunk will stomp out this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is false advertising. The trailers say you're getting a Joel and Ellie experience/adventure when you're getting an Abby and Lev adventure. The way Abby was introduced into the story felt forced and contrived. Abby's dad especially feels annoying to listen to because of how he is willing to sacrifice a young girl for a cure that might not even work. Yeah I know Joel did some bad things but he didn't deserve to go out the way he did, and no one wants to play as Abby because she killed him after he saved her. I gotta also point out that this game has graphic sex scenes that feel uncalled for. The first game didn't need them, or even uncharted.... so why are they in here? This game shouldn't be called the last of us part 2, but The Last of Us 2 wrong number, in honour of making the player play as a killer who was about to kill a pregnant woman.

    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...
