    The Last of Us is my favourite game of all time so I was excited for the sequel, even though I got spoiled about one of the major events. This event sounded questionable but I decided to wait for context like many of the critic reviews said to before I judged it. My thoughts on the game overall by the end was graphics 10/10, gameplay 9/10, story 3/10.

This event sounded questionable but I decided to wait for context like many of the critic reviews said to before I judged it. My thoughts on the game overall by the end was graphics 10/10, gameplay 9/10, story 3/10. The story just killed my enjoyment of The Last of Us Part 2 completely. It is so terribly written. There are some good moments, which is why the story gets a 3 and not a 0 but they in no way make up for the awful story choices that are made. Joel's relationship with Ellie is spat upon, characters make ridiculous choices, and the mystery woman, played by Laura Bailey, is, in my opinion, one of the worst video game character of all time. This character and the way she is portrayed is one of the big reasons why the story is so bad. Not only that but the ending is just awful. It completely undoes the message they were trying to tell and makes everything feel pointless. Again, the graphics and gameplay are amazing, but I just did not want to replay the game and witness such a terrible story. I returned the game yesterday. 4/10. The graphics, gameplay and some story elements are good but since the overall story is so important to The Last of Us Part 2 , and most of that story is horrible, I had to give it a 4. Now, whenever I replay the original The Last of Us, I am going to have to pretend that this never happened.… Expand

    The last of us part 2 was undoubtably of the most anticipated games for years. However, this only further fuels the immeasurable disappointment from the fan base.

However, this only further fuels the immeasurable disappointment from the fan base. The story and characters are focused on fulfilling a sickening agenda, rather than written towards their well established fan base from the first game. The story is filled with plot holes, and you are forced to play unlikable characters. If you read the story's script, you'd think it's some twisted twelve year old's first fan fic. The reality however, is you're reading a AAA studio's script, and this is just a taste for the harmful contaminence that is slowly infecting other games.

    TLOU 2 could ruin the gaming industry for years, if not mark the end of the entire industry. Sadly, there is no doubt TLOU 2 will make game of the year, and that should scare you. Just take a look at the spineless critic reviews.

    If for some reasons you still choose to play this abomination, BUY IT SECOND HAND. That way you will not support the developer's agenda.    … Expand

Totally dissappointed with the direction the game took, gameplay and graphics obviously amazing but the story bombed, it must have been a 5 mi ute brainstorm to develop this story with the killing of Joel thrown in because the writers thought it would be a defining moment of gaming and it totally wasn’t due to the lazy and nonsensical way it was written.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe this is the actual game they decided to go with. This is a f**** joke. Druckmann.... seriously? It looks like You sold your soul in the name of what? WTF dude? It's your child, and you killed it, I hope you know it. As a huge fan of the first part (which i completed several times) i had at first some doubts about the sequel, i was feeling like.. damn is it even a good idea to develop the second part? The first had a perfect ending because of giving the players a chance to imagine on their own what happened to the main characters and how they lived on. But when the rumors about the second part were confirmed, i thought to myself - ok, let's give it a chance. I'm now after fresh finishing the sequel, and really i can't believe I spent 50 bucks for this piece of **** Really. Now don't get me wrong, i love the dark climate, perfect graphics, open world, exploration, cutscenes, twists, etc. But... i guess even if all of these are close to perfect and probably best in the game industry, it's still not enough when it comes to really bad scenario.

    You literally ruined all what was beautiful in the game, and by what fans fell in love with the first part. I even think that the story of the sequel was originally different, but during these past 7 years something have happened, and all changed. You can see it even by watching the trailers. Fans now can assume that it was on purpous that You've put in the 'smart' way a Joel in the key scenes, so that fans would think he's alive during the whole gameplay and he helped Ellie in her journey. And yeah - everyone's now think that it was just a 'little' manipulation in video editing. But on the other hand You can also think that Joel originally was meant to be alive... Anyway - let's get to the point.

    There are at least dozens of ideas for better story for TLOU2 and still keeping alive both main characters. I understand the whole story, really I understand the point view, its idea, the path that Ellie was walking on, the cosequences of Joel's decisions, forcing a player to get into the shoes of the opposite site, and understand that each site had its motivations, rights, etc. I also understand what was going on with Ellie, and why the game was so depressful in the end, but its all something completely different in the core idea/plan for making this game, its way more complex on many fields, it talks about hate, love, tolerancy, forgiveness, changes, regrets, PTSD, choices you make and its consequences, etc. But guys - the way you served it, a chaotic mush and rollecoaster of emotions sprinkled with dumb decisions.

    Seriously what the **** was on your mind to let Ellie kill hundrets of people in order to avange the only person that truly cared about and looked after her, and in the end you decided - nah... let it go Ellie. I repeat - i understand your point view, but its really naive thinking she would really let Abbys go. And the moment with biting off Ellie's fingers... wtf? stupid, gross, dumb and unnecesairy. Similar as it comes to Joel - he was one of the smartest guys in game history ever. Thinking he would get ambushed so simply and in so dumb way (and Tommy too) is a ****ing joke. It looks like You completely didn't have an idea of how to move on with scenario. The same as it comes to Ellie - she acts as the Joel taught her, on the other hand she completely ignores those lessons, and for instance let her enemies live on (so they might have a chance to kill her in the near future). But even all of these are not as dumb as the idea to force players to play the WTF-out-of-nowhere character and move Ellie to the corner for the half of the game... JESUS F****** CHRIST.

    I hated Abby from the very first moment to the very last. The idea of getting into her shoes is understandable, but the way you've done it completely kills everything. At the end of her campaign i thought to myself - jesus ****ing christ... finally. And the scene where the players had to hunt for Ellie - the most beloved character, You are really the kings of stupidity and ignorancy. I don't know who approved this **** idea, but it's a ****ing joke.

    All those ratings of so called 'critics' were paid, we all know that now. The scale of the difference in critics and players ratings speaks for itself. The best and most beautiful thing in the game in my personal opinion were the flashbacks with younger Ellie and Joel. Now I would give someone a whole lot of money just to forget there is even something like TLOU 2. It completely ruined the story i fall in love with, the emotions, relations, journey, characters. Congratulations morrons.    … Expand

    Then, to make me play as the villain, whom I do not care about, and still do not, seriously wrecked the mood and love I had for th game.

    Just finished it. It's bad. It's a terrible revenge story that has forgotten all character building from part 1. The gameplay is as dated as the first game, but the writing is one of the worst I've seen in a game without even having to acknowledge the political agenda. Watch it on twitch if you have to, but don't waste your money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to make this a fair review.

    Congratulation Naughty Dog, you made your hetero-normative white girl, who is built like a dude, and her ex-boyfriend, a white male, your most compelling characters of the game.

    Why do I rate this game 4/10? Because the protagonist, Ellie, is an utter bore and really a terrible person. That's fine if this is by design, but that is what impression she gives me. As much as I hate Joel's death, and that particular scene is pretty awful, and I don't just mean uncomfortable to watch, I mean the setup was lazy.

    They say in fiction that the protagonist is the one who changes the most. Well, then your protagonist is Abby. Abby has a classical arc. She does a heel-face turn and shows some genuine heroic capacity. Ellie is angry and bitter the whole time, and her dialog with Dina is cringe-y. Whereas Abby has good conversations that move her character forward. Ellie and Dina just exchange YA romance novel bromides about their love. No hetero character in the history of gaming has ever obsessed as much about their love interest as in this game. It is mind-numbing. So that takes away a number of points.

    The next big reason is that ND does an incredible job at rendering a post apocalyptic Seattle, but the game mechanics feel like they are stuck in 2013. Most of the lore has no depth. The war between the WLF and the Scars is filler, and is just there to provide two factions so that the co-protagonists have someone to kill other than the inexplicable number of infected that run around in a war zone. There are quite a few times when you think, "This just makes no sense."

    There are a couple good infected moments, however, including one in the hospital basement that i particularly liked, but it was there for "boss" value, not because it was born out of story. So those are my reasons it didn't rate higher, terrible Ellie arc and dated gaming mechanics. Also, the scenes that take place after Seattle are terrible, and further my opinion that Ellie is just a terrible person.    … Expand

TLOU1 was one of the last PS3 titles I ever bought before generation leap, and I loved it. Ellie was a bratty but likable teen girl under the care of Joel was a cautious survivalist that'll kill you in cold blood if you even gave him a whiff of being a hazard to either of them. TLOU1 story was overall enjoyable with generally good themes, and a bitter sweet ending depending on personal feelings on what you'd do in that position. Without giving away too much away about TLOU2, both characters seem like different people all together with awful consequences in the sequel. What's worse is you play as a third character who is 100% unlikable in every way that they try to get you to feel sympathy for despite what she does to Joel and Ellie early on. Then when it's all over, you feel absolutely zero satisfaction, the game's plot ends just as senselessly as it began. Sony's first party single player exclusives get criticized as "movies not games" which isn't entirely unfair, but usually the story is at least at a movie level of quality so you enjoy them anyway. This one's gameplay is just the first game's rinsed off and presented to us again with slapped on gimmicks like dogs. Which would be fine if the story wasn't one of the worse ever in a modern videogame. I can't honestly think of a single story between 2006 and now that I hate more. What a disaster. I'm giving the game a 3 because there is nothing redeeming about it other than it's visuals and that'll be short lived with next gen around the corner. I'd probably rate it higher if Sony and Naughty Dog weren't so toxic and misleading about the game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game and I can tell why the hate.
    (note I played the game on hard difficulty before I change it to easy difficulty because I just wanted to finish my pain)
    First the positives:
    TLOU2 is one of the best looking games of this generation.
    The first hours of the game build the tension perfectly (before that controversial scene).The exploration is well rewarded.
    and...that's it.

    Mixed:
    the gameplay, they add DOGE button that makes the game a cakewalk, you can easily rush and enemy and not be punished by it, (note most of the game I played it on hard until the last two chapters of the game), I had a lot of clunky moments where the camera didn't look where I wanted and there is no button or to immediately change your view from left to right like in other games. You have enough supplies to go and wage war and the enemies are either dumb as a rock or intelligent like a predator, I had moments where they could easily see me through walls or tall grass, finally, the companions (I will talk about their traits and character in the story section, now only the technical part) are useless, they spot me a lot of times with them because they refuse to turn off their flashlights or just let me do all the killing for me, except in the scripted parts (duh).

    The bad:
    New human enemies that heavy type like in any videogame, but they resist 2 bullets to the head that kill the sense of realism of the game.
    Clickers are easier now, you have a knife that doesn't break and you don't need to sneak behind them, you can easily grab them from the front and easily kill them. So...they are not scary anymore like in the first game.
    So many bad level design, when you want to do a part super sneaky, the game purposely is designed for you to fight them, like the first level you encounter the scars (the e3 gameplay showcase level).
    At the end of the day, the game is no longer about survival but an action game.

    The awful: story and characters
    brace yourself, Im about to end this game's career...wait, other people already did it, nevermind.
    As you know, tlou isn't about the gameplay, but the story, that's why I like tlou 1 story and worldbuilding, but the gameplay is what it lacks.
    Since this game is about story, you must have a good one, unfortunately it doesn't
    First: the death of Joel, people aren't mad because Joel died, their mad because how he died. They changed core design character traits from the first game. Joel and Tommy woul've never help Abby, Joel woul've never trust the wolf easily, Joel would've never do something risky that would've put Tommy in danger, guess what, they did it in tlou 2 to have their revenge story.

    Second: Ellie, In the end Ellie end would've never spare Abby, she would've never regre killing Mel (just because her girlfriend was pregnant), thats bad writing. Ellie would've let jessie take dina back to jackson and look for tommy to help her kill everyone.

    Tommy: at leats he is consistent, but he get the screentime of Haru in Persona 5, non-existant.

    Jessie and Dina: they are one dimensional, and have no reason to help you. Their line are generic and honestly Jessie is just a meat-bag, that wouldn't be bad, but the game tries so hard to care for them put the game does not put reasons to like them. Jessie: I look up to Joel (but we never see this, we don't know the realitonship of joel and jessie, therfore we dont care).

    Dina: I love you, we do this together. that's the only reason...a generic reason if you ask me and she doesn't add nothing more, their dialogues are boring or just obvious. She is like Navi in TLOZ OoT, but she is useless.

    Abby: she is just a **** she has no likeable traits, not even at the end of the game or when you use her. She is all muscle and no character. And brings most of the plot holes: how did she know how joel looked liked? How did she track you down when the map you drop didn't had your hiding location? why did she goe back for those kids (just because of a dream, that is weak as hell)? SO MANY WHYS (but I need to spare my characters).

    Owen...I like owen. He is consisnten and a likeable charac ter with good goals, unfortunatley he is underdeveloped.

    The rest of the WLF: the game tries so hard for you to like them, but in the end is useless, because you know this guys are just as worst as the scars. They are not better and at somepoint even worse, their actions when you use Ellie are potrayed as phycos, but when you use abby they are good folks. And there is such a big disconnect, bad writting once again.

    Scars: they are not consistent, they dont use the "old world stuff". But they do, and the reason is because they use it when convinient. Yel says that, literally he/she says that.

    Finally the ending: the worst written ending I've seen. Is the least video game ending of all time. When you play games, you want at the end to be a payoff. Guess what, there is none, you let Abby go away, and all that killing for nothing.    … Expand

    Naughty Dog’s story telling on this one is a low point in an otherwise great catalogue of stories. They work overtime to make you feel guilty for loving the characters from the first game. They force you to play half the game as one of the most unlikable game characters in recent memory. Once the game reaches a fever-pitch with Ellie, they restart the whole game with a new story with horrendously bad characters. They constantly skip past/present/characters and end up with a story that ends up not saying anything at all.

    Sadly, the writing - though it has its moments - is just not good enough for a story driven game. Some plot points are flat out bad. It’s always a problem when writers force their real life politics and ideologies in their games (regardless if it makes sense or adds to the story), just trying to educate the player how to think properly. TLOU2 is doing exactly that. It’s The Last Jedi and GOT S8 all over again. Since the story and the characters are the main selling point for this game, their quality will make up most of my rating score and as a fan of the original I couldn’t avoid the feeling that Part II isn’t just not written for me - i.e. fans of the original - but intentionally to piss me of; just as if the writers didn’t like the original and wanted to kill its legacy on purpose. I just feel cheated.
    The Gameplay is quite repetitive and doesn’t really come up with anything new in respect of the first part (Which isn’t really necessary to be fair)
    Overall it’s a beautiful looking disappointment of a game that had the potential for true greatness.    … Expand

Immergetevi in un meraviglioso mondo post apocalittico dove le uniche brave persone rimaste sono gli zombie. Godetevi una trama coinvolgente quanto quella dell’ultima stagione di Game of Thrones, espedienti narrativi intelligenti come quelli di Star Wars rise of sky walker, personaggi costruiti con la stessa cura e attenzione delle comparse in 50 sfumature di grigio e un finale che vi farà rimpiangere quello di how I met your mother. Giocate nei panni di Ellie, l’amata coprotagonista del primo gioco e divertitevi a vivere una sequela interminabile di traumi e orrori che la segneranno a vita. Potrete giocare ( e dovrete) anche nei panni di Abby, figlia di un npc casuale del primo gioco (a quanto pare molto importante), e unica persona in tutta l’apocalisse ad avere una scorta segreta di steroidi e anabolizzanti. All’inizio potrete non amare lei e i suoi terribili amici, ma dopo svariate ore di gioco..... continuerete a detestarla, ma poi.... la odierete ancora di più.

Godetevi una storia avvincente e per nulla contorta e piena di cliché, intervallata da interminabili flashback, che sottraggono solo tempo prezioso per finire questo supplizio. Intendiamoci, il gioco è meraviglioso da guardare, con paesaggi incredibili e grafiche mozzafiato, anche il gameplay è molto divertente, o almeno finché il gioco non ti chiede di pestare brutalmente Ellie usando Abby e le sue manone da scaricatore di porto. Ma ora basta denigrare l’aspetto di Abby, in fondo non è giusto odiare qualcuno per il suo aspetto; infatti Abby è splpersoorribile,… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me begin by saying that the game play mechanics are fantastic. It feels like we're playing a next-gen title on the PS4 Pro, the game is visually pleasing. The story is where the game lacks the most. We spend a good half of the game as Abby, the antagonist of the story. This character felt so forcibly written in. While playing as Abby, the player is forced to go on this unpleasant journey into brutally killing characters that were so beloved from the first, it felt so wasted. The ending left a lot to be desired.… Expand

    I wanted to give a higher rating but I can't. First of all props to the animators, programmers, actors, game designers and everybody in the art team. Second of all DON'T ever make people work years on something that's bad from the start because it's clearly poorly written. I have trust issues.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I tried to like this game. Played it almost twice, once on moderate and the second on survivor. First time was horrible, the story was all over the place, no character development and some of the most stupid decisions I've ever seen characters make. Abby is incredibly disgusting and ND failed to make me empathize with her. Second playthrough I tried to get some value out of gameplay but the AI was as bad as the first one and broke my immersion so many times. By the time I got to Abby's part, I just uninstalled. I'm done with Naughty Dog at this point. Hope their next game is better, but I'm certainly not buying it. Screw all "professional critics" by the way. Absolutely disgusting media manipulation.… Expand

    Teribble story which only the poeple who enjoyed GoT season 8 will maybe somewhat like and teribble gameplay which adds nothing new to the originals gameplay except a prone mechanic and a jump button which without the game would be no diferent.

    Just like the first game but worse. Same combat and stealth mechanics. A much worse story.

    The first last of us was both a brilliant game and a story. Watching a play through of it on YouTube was the main reason I bought a ps4.

I even took a vacation from my work at home job to finish it in one go. So needless to say my expectations were very high. And my disappointment is at epic proportions. This is GoT season 8 situation all over again. Characters are behaving noting like themselves. Plot holes are in every corner. Noting in the story makes any sense. Writer is obbsosed with trying to teach us a lesson but doing a miserable job of it. This is a dumpster fire of a story. And the story is the main thing that attracted to me to these games in the first place. So graphics and gameplay alone can't cover up my displeasure about it. In the end I'm very sad that I wasted my time with this. And I'm very sad another writer wich has no love or respect for his characters ruined a story for us fans and all other people who worked very hard to create this game.… Expand

    The end ruins everthing. The first game si so good, this second are so bad, nothing than the first.Thoroughly disappointed with the story. Gameplay and graphics are the best the PS4 has seen. However the line ‘This can’t be nothing’ is literally not true. Once you’ve finished it it literally has been for nothing! SAVE YOUR MONEY please

    I don’t really know what the developers were going for when they released this game but I sure hope it wasn’t to just utterly disgust the fans.

    I had to create an account on metacritic and leave my rating that's how bad the game was. Waste of your money and over 24 hours of time. The only redeeming part about the game is sound design and a few visually astounding scenes, everything else is complete trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The way this game tries to conect us to the plot is just flawed, making we play as the antagonist doesnt help either. Killing off such and important character right in the begining was the wrong decision for this game and the rest of the story is just worse, who thought that killing every single charecter but the antagonist was a great idea?… Expand

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    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... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
