    TLOU2 is rank #1 best game ever. It's a story about mercy and transgenders who need more representation in media

    There is no other #1 game

    Un engaño comercial que realmente deja mucho que desear. El juego se plantea como progresista, sin embargo solo termina siendo una forzoso historia que parece una burla a los temas que busca representar. Hay series animadas para niños mayores de 7 años en netflix que manejan mejor estos temas y con muchísimo menos presupuesto. Una burla.

    Al final es otra temporada más de walking dead.

    This game is a big disgrace to the first one. No love or respect whatsoever for what made the first one of the best games ever. Do not buy!

    Visuals are great and gameplay is fun. Story not so much. Add the lack of multiplayer and I cant say I'm happy with the price I paid for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only way I can describe this game is bitterly disappointing!! I was a huge fan of the first game and had high hopes for the sequel, however unfortunately any potential that the game had was wasted due to various plot holes, a woeful story and some characters who despite there potential are never fleshed out and therefore it's extremely difficult to gain any kind of significant connection to them.

    The game does have a number of positives. It is visually and audibly stunning, Naughty Dog has again raised the bar in this respect. The level design is great and despite it being linear there are still plenty of options to get around and make it a somewhat unique experience in certain areas.

    Unfortunately this positives are simply not enough to overcome some significant short comings. Firstly Joel's death. I have no issue with Joel dying however the way in which he died is pure idiocy, Joel and Tommy are two seasoned veterans of this world who have survived almost a quarter of a century in this post apocalyptic chaos and understand that trusting people can get you killed. So they conveniently become naive idiots solely for the purpose of story progression it makes no sense whatsoever!!

    Dina and Jesse are two characters with significant potential, however neither are ever really fleshed out as much as needed so much of that potential goes to waste.

    Then onto the second half of the game. You are made to play as the character who bludgeoned a beloved character to death for TEN hours Who throughout the game has shown almost psychopathic tendencies. During this phase it's intended for the player to develop empathy and a connection to Abby however this just doesn't happen due to the lacklustre story line, awful story telling and a cast of characters who are either painfully dull or ridiculously unlikeable with the only exception being Lev who sadly comes across as an Ellie type figure from the first game to allow Abby to have some weird Joel type journey of discovery just without any of the charm of Joel and Ellie's made made it great. Also in this section the attempted emotional manipulation of the player with the use of cheap tricks becomes evident. Doing everything possible to paint Abby as a compassionate person whilst trying to guilt grip you for action undertaken as Ellie that you had zero choice but do. These tricks are cheap and don't have the effect the developers where hoping for.

    Finally the ending of the game is a got mess. The message that revenge is bad and somebody has to end the circle of violence. This fails completely when both playable characters where largely guided by the need for vengeance and the one who took revenge got away free to start a new life with Lev. Whilst the person who ended the cycle and did the "right thing" ended up with no one and nothing left and is now facing her biggest fear of ending up alone. The hypocrisy here is utterly baffling and undermines the entire message the developers wanted to spread.

    I can see the idea of what they were trying to pull off however it was so shambolically put together it landed a million miles wide of the mark. That added with the fact that everything that made the first game the beloved masterpiece that it is and the characters as iconic as they are has been dismantled to the point that the only really significant character remaining from the first game is now a shadow the character we had such a connection with. I can safely say that there will be no additional play-throughs of this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We were told that the first TLOU is a "simple story, complex characters". Well the second one is a "simplest story, simplest characters". Sorry that we appear to be not THAT simple.
    Straightforward plot. Straightforward message that is aggressively repeated from one cut-scene to another. I was missing a person jumping out in the corner of the screen with the sign “Revenge is bad!” if someone had still not realized it. C'mon we are not stupid i even felt offended since the game communicated with me as if i really am: D

    the characters ... main and minor. so flat, shallow, sketchy. It's so difficult to sympathize with them (at the same time in the first part they were so natural and lively that it was difficult NOT to sympathize). The decisions they make, motivation in various situations, dialogs - everything looks forced, overact and false.

    Perhaps it is a good plot move to kill Joel since it could have opened so many confrontations within the heroes but the game just flushes him down like a trash and this looks like disrespect to studio’s previous work. So many ideas could have been discussed with Joel got killed - regret, priorities, overcoming the desire for revenge, the path to forgiveness, understanding and acceptance. Yes, it's trivially but it meant to be a simple story and complex characters. Speaking about Abby, has she got the relief after killing Joel? Does she feel any regret or fault killing comrades? How does she feel growing in a military society and at the same time being a sweet daughter of a rather gentle farther? Maybe she has become obsessed with revenge because her love (i don't even remember his name), that could have become her support and life meaning, makes another girl pregnant? Even disliked by almost everyone Abby could have been a complex and interesting to watch character. I don't even speak about Ellie! But despite of showing these dramatic and emotional drivers we are shown rather a long intimate scene between girls that means absolutely nothing for a story-line. Yeah, priorities in 2020. Even this touchy topic could have been woven elegantly in terms of a conflict between Ellie and homophobic people where Joel was the dearest person who understood and protected her in this situation and now he is dead and she faces it all alone and feels how important Joel's support was for her and how she really in need of being protected and encouraged even being so strong and independent BECOUSE it is a child-parent relationship that was so thoroughly built in TLOU 1! Gosh, so many ways to develop the characters!!!!!!11 And yes, Joel tries hard to drag out the story in the beginning and in each and every flashback…the only alive and natural but dead character ahaha.

    I feel so sorry for people who put their soul in making the technical part of the game since it's brilliant. But thanks to scenario a lot of people have come to hate this game :(

    P.S. critics are useless. Such a pity.    … Expand

    The story is the worst part here, without going in to spoilers it is a complete mess, a particular character is shown little respect and really ruined the rest of the game for me. The developers also took a risk and tried to do something g different but quite frankly it was a terrible decision. With a game like this that is so story driven it doesn’t matter that the graphics and gameplay are good, I was not engaged and just felt disappointed by the poor story.

    Sound/visual design: 1.5/2. You can tell the environment design had a lot of passion. Sadly, the sound design was not at all impressive.
    Character design/interaction: I won't spoil it but expect forced "developments" to the story throughout the game. Grows tiring very quickly. 0.5/2.
    Fan impression: tempted to give it an 0/2. However a game is better than no game. Even if marginally. 0.5/2.

    Final impression: game left very sour taste in my mouth. Underwhelming and dishonest. Forced interactions and unimaginative situations meant to emotionally exploit or condition the player in place of a properly installed script. Would give a -1 because it's one of the rare sequels that makes me wish they were never done as they destroy my passion for the IP (StarWars jarjar Binks says hi).

    Final score : 4-1 = 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt disappointed enough with this game to actually go and post a review online, which I dont think I've ever done before. Spoiler free part:
    The story was just a waste of time. The gameplay was solid, music, voice acting, graphics, etc. All superb, so please understand how bad the story had to be to get such hate. The first half of the game was fun, overall off to a great start. The problems arise half way through, when the terrible decisions come through. I'M GOING TO BE CLEAR, my dislike for this game has nothing to do with it's LGBTQ themes, I was actually excited to see how they would handle these in the storyline. My issue is with the story progression, and the characters.



    !!!!!!!!!!!! Spoilers !!!!!!!!!!!

    Abby is just an unlikable character. I knew Joel at some point was going to die and I knew the game would mostly be about Ellie which made sense, I was ok with that. I DIDNT know Joel would brutally killed by Abby in the first hour. Seems like we were promised a LITTLE more Joel than that, but ok, revenge quest starts early. It was fine for the first half...then, the switch. We actually have to play as Abby. The character we all hate for killing Joel. And we don't just play as her for a little, or in little bursts. you play almost an entire half of the game as her! And despite SOME cool scenes, you don't stop hating her. Playing as Abby was a "meh" experience at best. She's boring and the first impression of her is an irredeemable one. I can't count how many times I repeatedly let her die in game. A solid ending could have saved it all, but the ending was meh as well. Ellie spares Abby to end the cycle of violence, which is an odd place to draw the line after Ellie just spent three days stabbing, shooting, bludgeoning, dismembering, torturing, impaling, intentionally infecting, strangling, blowing up into actual pieces, and lighting on fire, what must have been 100 people at least. But Ellie travels all the way to Santa Barbara to... not kill someone.

    If all you care about is gameplay and graphics, this is a great game. If you like stories,, but you didn't play the first, its ok.

    But if you LOVED the first as much as I did, and loved the characters, and waited 7 years to see what happened to them, this game is heartbreaking. LOU was a masterpiece, 10/10. It deserved a 10/10 sequel and got a 4/10 AT BEST. Part 2 had all the makings of a great game DESTROYED by awful story choices which for a studio of this quality is inexcusable. Therefore, one star.

    The trailers led us to believe this would be the next chapter in Joel and Ellie's story, it wasn't. It was half a game about Ellie and half about someone we don't care about and don't like. We deserved a better story than this. This isn't what we were promised.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first chunk of the game seems to be leading to a story that we expect from Naughty Dogs, however, after the first major plot development the story tanks. Most of the characters especially Abby who are introduced have so much time wasted on them, but I never grew to care no matter how hard I tried. They were attempting to craft a story about the consequences of revenge, but it lacked any sort of interesting points, It could be summarized by two words "revenge bad" basically it was a cliche that ruined the experience. Of course, the game looked beautiful and the gameplay was interesting. They developed and expanded well on the systems set up in the first game. Without the crap story and writing, but rather a story of the caliber expected of the series, This game could have been a 10/10. But again the story was such a letdown and it drags the rest of the game with it.… Expand

    - The story is a simple search for a person for revenge that then does not materialize, everything that happened was useless.

Sisters arm is smashed to pieces with a hammer, sister is killed, he kills his own mother, a war destroys his home island, literally everyone wants to kill him as soon as they spot him, ...) Even in a post-apocalyptic world, I think that is quite something. Oh I see but this lovely "girl" Abby comes to his rescue. A glimpse of hope!
    The only thing they skipped is that the child of Owens girlfriend is already 1 month old and Ellie slashes the babies head off. If you are in such a rage you cannot stop, can you? Maybe they left this for part 3.
    But of course, its all for a good reason, the deep message behind it bla bla bla
    For me this story is just trash. Revenge and too much violence is bad? I tell you something, I already guessed that before playing the game. And the political correctness, although I am not against it in general, is so over the top that it would ruin the story, if there would be a story.
    They sacrificed everything that the players loved about part 1, maybe to satisfy Neil Druckmans ego? Who knows.

The last of us 2, un juego que a nivel gráfico y de sonido es sorprendente así como su exquisita jugabilidad, no existe alguna queja por esos aspectos tan cuidados, con una simple historia de venganza que no supo ser llevada por la dirección correcta para dar un desenlace natural a un historia que lo merecía. La historia flaquea desde el punto en el que controlamos a abby, que no es el hecho de controlarla a ella sino el que nos quieran hacer parecer que abby es un humano como para enpatizar con ella, recordemos que ella esta tomando venganza por su padre el cual fue fulminado por 1 tiro por el protagonista Joel, para lo cual ella lo tortura y lo golpea durante bastante tiempo para sentirse mejor, también durante una de las charlas se le escucha decir que unos niños que atacaron a unos lobos recibieron su merecido al ser acribillados dándole igual el hecho de que sean niños. Además de ser un humano terrible no evoluciona para nada en todo el juego, lo único que vemos es como involuciona debido que al final sale con la suya y vuelve a la secta de las luciérnagas. Una secta que se olvidó en el primer videojuego que el fin no justifica los medios. Se que el juego te quiere llevar a un mundo donde se hace lo que sea por vivir pero es algo raro como socialmente podemos tener aceptación pero no humanidad por las otras vidas si eso nos beneficia. Creo que nauty dogs forzó demasiado la historia para poder darle sentido pero exagero mucho las cosas y al final no resuelve ni un solo conflicto, no evolucionan los personajes, la historia queda inconclusa y el personaje de abby se sale con la suya.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a massive fan of the Original The Last of Us game, I had high hopes for this latest installment. Technically the game runs great and the extra specs of the ps4 allow for much more open levels and graphical improvements. Theres a few minor gameplay improvements but more of the same here.
    All this however only counts for the one and only star awarded in this review.
    Everything above are bells and whistles when it comes to Naughty Dog games such as The Last of Us and the Uncharted series. Its the plot, the storytelling, the character development, and how invested we are in the characters.
    This is were The Last of Us 2 falls flat.
    Out of all the scripts that were proposed at naughty dog this is what they chose, its truly bizarre.


    Spoilers...

    To sum up, Joel is killed very early into the game. Ellie sets out on a revenge story which pales in comparison to Joels death scene, I expected hell hath no fury, some very tame encounters. Not only that halfway through the game you play as Joels killer and finish out the game with her.
    Its just bizarre that they thought that we'd feel such little sense of loss for Joel that we'd be happy to play as his killer for the remainder of the game.
    If the plot they've chosen to go with has to have Joel dead then atleast make it about revenge for Joel, and not have me play through half the game trying to convince me Joels death was justified because i for one am not interested.
    Its a story that nobody wanted i think thats the consensus here. They should of went with a better script in my opinion, and written another adventure for Joel and Ellie. Its a simple as that. Oh what could of been...    … Expand

    I will give it points for the graphics and general production values. Otherwise the game itself is hardly an evolution on the original. The worst part is the writing which is really a slap in the face if you wanted a real continuation of the first game. The worst part is that the game's director has a self insert character that has sex with the protagonist. Avoid this game if you can.

    The storyline to me fails to deliver in a similar way to the previous game, for a story driven game this is quite problematic. Characters were not really fleshed out, and returning characters felt different to the point that I believe if they had just made this game with a whole new cast of characters it would make more sense. Even saying that particular character choices and storylines just didn't feel like they were made to a good standard. The pacing additionally felt strange with story points from the start of the game are only being concluded much later at which point I had lost interest in following, as the lack of focus made it seem like they were irrelevant.

    In summary the story disappointed me, and I hope the multiplayer experience gives me a reason to keep the game    … Expand

It became a chore for me to complete the game. Characters in the game are possibly the biggest flaws of the game. Politics and games have been trying to mix for a while and Naughty Dog sure as hell did not make any progress. The political narrative in the game is so blatant that rather than focusing on what/who these characters are you see them as a sort of ‘puppet’ representing someone else’s political views. It seems like every new character introduced has some sort of ‘characteristic’ or ‘trait’ to appease a certain audience. The story a conglomerate of political ideologies, trying to address all current societal issues. As a result it removes immersion from the story and prevents the player from caring much about any characters.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bevor jemand meint ich sei dem Spiel gegenüber nicht fair, ich beziehe mich hier auf die Story. Die technische Umsetzung dieses Spiels, das Environmental Design, das Acting, auch alles visuelle sind absolut beeindruckend.
    Zum Ableben von Joel:
    Beim ersten zusammentreffen rettet Joel Abby das Leben und dennoch wird sie Joel töten, obwohl sie dadurch mit ihm quitt sein sollte. Schon der Anfang dieser Story ergibt keinen Sinn. Joel ist nicht mehr der den wir kennen, er wirkt in dieser Fortsetzung ziemlich weichgespült. Joels Charaktereigenschaften im ersten Teil sind: Geplagt vom Tod seiner Tochter Sarah, macht er alles was getan werden muss um zu überleben, war selbst schon ein böser Junge, traut keinem u erkennt schnell Gefahr, (besonders durch andere Menschen) fühlt sich verantwortlich für die Menschen die ihm was bedeuten, ist misstrauisch u unverwüstlich. Nun in Teil 2: Blauäugig, verweichlicht, bedauernswert u auch sonst das komplette Gegenteil von dem was ihn einst ausgemacht hat. Bei ihm läuten nicht mal die Alarmglocken wenn er auf eine größere Gruppe Fremder trifft, die mit Militärfahrzeugen u Ausrüstung vor seiner Stadt sind ohne den Grund für ihe Anwesenheit zu kennen. Wie ist Abby überhaupt mit einem Fahrzeug den langen Weg zu Joel gekommen? Alle Straßen in diesem Spiel sind kaputt o blockiert. Tommy lädt diese Fremde sogar in ihre geschützte Stadt ein um "Vorräte aufzufüllen" Wie naiv wurden die Brüder hier gemacht? Joel wird ins Bein geschossen. Ellie kommt dazu, richtet aber nichts aus weil sie ihr Überschungsmoment nicht nutzt. Das sind -1 Intelligenz für ihre Charaktereigenschaften. Auch Ellie ist nicht mehr dieselbe wie im ersten Teil. Die junge Ellie war mutig, rebellisch, auf einzigartige Weise schräg, sarkastisch, liebenswert und direkt. Die erwachsene Ellie ist nur noch eingeschnappt, aufdringlich u zornig. Man hat die persönlichen Eigenschaften der Charaktere komplett ausgetauscht. Abby hätte an diesem Punkt auch Ellie u Tommy umbringen könn. Damit würde man zumindest verhindern das man verfolgt wird. Aber Naughty Dog hat sich entschieden, diese beiden Protagonisten so langsam u leidvoll zu zerstören, wie man es sich nie hätte vorstellen könn...
    Ich könnte noch weiter auf die schlechte Story eingehen, aber das würde den Rahmen sprengen, daher mein Fazit:

    Das hier ist so eine Geschichte die einst gut angefangen hat u dann schlecht weiter erzählt wurde. Wie z.B. bei Star Wars. Die Story fühlt sich an wie schlechte Fanfiction die von jemanden geschrieben wurde, der den 1. Teil gehasst hat. Warum hat man überhaupt etwas so ausgelutschtes wie Rache hier thematisiert, wenn es im 1. Teil um etwas wesentlich interessanteres geht: Verlust. Man hätte etwas tieferes von diesem Game erwarten können.    … Expand

At the time of the announcement of the game in 2016, i was still delighted with this, and waited for the release of the game, periodically replaying the first part. knowing how they like to post various rumors, I avoided all information about the game in order to dive into the game on my own. In the first hours, I got an unexpected pain from the plot twist, but continued the game, I wanted to understand that everything was not done in vain, and everything has a logical development. Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed. The illogicality of actions began with the behavior of Joel, who changed in character and now trusts the first person who comes across and tells all the information about himself: where he lives, what he and his brother do, what their names are, although it is obvious that nobody in this world can no longer be trusted if you never knew him. As a result, the character of both Joel and Ellie changed. The supporting characters are just dummies, without an interesting story and any logical actions.
    Especially pleased with the pregnant doctor, who has nothing to do and she went to fight in the last month, just delirium. Already now it is difficult for me to continue to write a review, with each written word I am more and more in pain from what continuation they made on the first game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline is an utter mess, filled with bland characters and awkward dialogue. The game touches on interesting themes and ideas but the writing just isn't good enough to make you care.

    One of the main themes the game tries to explore is violence and whether or not it's justified. It tries to get us to think about how a violent act can create a cycle of violence that only leads to more misery and loss for everyone.

    One of the problems with this is that it's completely at odds with the gameplay. You are given an incredible array of customizable weapons and throughout the game, you murder so many people in all kinds of gruesome and horrific ways. The game even gives you achievements based on upgrading your weapons to a high level so they obviously want you to care about this side of things.

    You're also made to kill dogs and people to progress the story, you don't even have a choice it literally makes you stab dogs and beat people to death. This doesn't make sense because the game wants you to question your actions as a player but then the game forces you to do things you have no control over.

    The other problem is that the game brutally removes a main character from the first game and then half way through makes you play as the character that kills said character. It's not for a short time either, it's literally half the game. This decision has been praised as being 'bold' and 'brave' by some and in a way that's true but that doesn't mean it's good or that it was the right decision.

    The main reason anybody is buying this game is because they were fans of the first game. The main reason people loved it so much was because of the relationship between our two protagonists. The relationship between Joel and Ellie is the heart of the entire series and it's the reason people bought this game.

    The decision to kill off one of them isn't the issue, it's how and when it happened and what followed. Popular protagonists have been killed off again and again in every type of media. It happens in Games, TV shows, Movies and Books, and as long as it is handled well and progresses the story in a satisfying way people are fine with it.

    This game fails to do that.

    They literally tore out the heart of the series and nothing that followed made it worth it. The storylines and relationships that follow are nowhere near as compelling and emotional as the relationship between Joel and Ellie in the first game. They are pretty to look at and there are some nice set-pieces but they don't feel like they matter simply because you don't care that much about the characters involved.

    They could have made a compelling, engaging, emotional storyline that challenged the audience but when you remove the heart of the series it's almost impossible to do that. It's very difficult to get people to care about a story if they don't care about the characters involved. The emotional core of the series died about two hours in and in a game that is driven by its narrative this is a huge issue as it makes everything that follows feel a bit empty and meaningless.

    They try their best but they gave themselves a mountain to climb and they never make it to the summit. They really try their best to make you care about the people involved but none of them are all that engaging, empathetic, or interesting especially in contrast to Joel and Ellie's relationship in the first game.

    I guess the question is why?

    Why did they decide to go in this direction with this game? The game director Neil Druckmann said before releasing the game that "We knew people were going to hate it".

    I don't understand this at all, who is the game for then? If you knew that fans were going to hate it then why make this game? I understand not wanting to write a safe, fan service driven storyline but I don't get why you would write a story that fans would really despise.

    I don't know it just feels like they tried way too hard to subvert expectations and in doing so ripped out the emotional core of the entire series in an extremely unsatisfying way. It feels like a wasted opportunity to not just make a great sequel but to make more great games after this.    … Expand

    Abby must be one of the best villains/evil person of any video game ever, because i have played 100s of games and i have never felt this level of deep hate towards any villain ever. Usually it's just cool to fight evil bosses or chase down bad guys, but Abby is different, she really makes sure that you are going to hate her on every level possible.

I would have been fine with it, but they completely screwed this story up and actually wanted to brainwash you into thinking that Abby is actually good person. This is complete nonsese and not only that, they let her go at the end of the game. But biggest mistake of this game was that they force you to play as Abby for over 10 hours after she brutally murders first game's main character. Equal situation would be, if Doom Guy would get killed and you would have to play rest of the game as Demon who killed him and at the end Demon gets away and they wanna brainwash you into thinking that Demon was actually good guy. I feel absolutely nothing towards this series anymore, this second part completely ruined my interest in first part, forever. Because now first part is completely pointless, whole adventure in first part is no pointless. Awful writing, awful story, awful characters, overall bad game and also example how never, never treat your main characters.… Expand

If you enjoyed the first game, do yourself a favour and give this a miss. This is the only game in my platinum collection that left such a sour taste in my mouth that I created an account to leave a review so others would not have to go through what I did.

    The story is actually one of the most pretentious dog piles I've ever witnessed. The writing thinks it's 100 times more profound than it actually is. In reality it's about as deep as a puddle.

    After playing this I felt angry, confused and insulted that a game company would feel that this is acceptable to do. How do you go from a great first installment with an amazing touching story and characters to suddenly turn full SJW and make garbage like this. This is the future of identity politics in gaming. Man = bad, push for sjw politically correct narrative.

    The game we all loved, the game that made us wonder, explore the beautifully crafted relationship between Joel and Ellie in the first game.. ruined by this undeserving sequel. Many movies and entertainment products rarely ever exceed the prequel but this one completely demolished all built bonds and completely disrespects the characters like they meant nothing. Shame on Naughty Dog

But all of that is **** useless because the story is awful. One of the main characters is killed in a brutal way at the beginning of the game, and then they force you to play as his killer for at least 1/3 of the game. They try to make her likeable but it only makes the game worse, she's not funny, loveable, she just a forced character that should never have seen the light of day. At the end of the game when Ellie can take her revenge she decides to spare her! THE GAME IS A REVENGE STORY BUT HAS NO REVENGE SECTION.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do you even start...?

    People on subreddits and different media outlets called out the people who saw the leaks. They were called homophobic, transphobic, and all sorts of things.

    I consider myself an intelligent person, and as such, I've never cared for sex, gender, or affiliation in the games. I consider myself open minded, and never had a problem with anything, as long as it made sense, and it the story was written well.

    Obviously, I had no problem with Ellie loving women. It was hinted at in the DLC of the first game, and it played out in this one without any kind of issues. (The love triangle with Jesse, Dina being pregnant, and pregnancy giving Dina a plot armor was kinda meh though)

    But oh boy, the writing in this game. It's unbelievable. It's just ... wow.

    The man who taught Ellie how not to trust strangers, just randomly saves someone (doesn't even care if she's infected or not, because you know, it's not like there's an apocalypse happening). He goes one step further, he says "oh you live there with God knows how many of your buddies? Sure let's go", and then he practically introduces himself "Hey, I'm Joel". Of course Abby instantly knows it's the Joel she's looking for, since she saw the town 4 minutes ago with probably hundreds of people, and she already confirmed on Facebook, that there's only one Joel in there.

    So she goes on and brutally murders Joel. She murders Ellie's father figure right in front of her eyes. I expected Joel to die in the game, but definitely not like this. Disrespectful would be putting it lightly. Even the game devs said that they want to create a meaningful story, and not base this on shock value. Well, guess what this is. (Yes, shock value).

    So, after this, you're kinda left hanging and thinking, "okay, but they had Joel in so many places in the trailers, this can't be real". It is. Most of the scenes you saw are flashbacks that are just too short, but still show you the potential in this game. The thing it could have been with good writing. In other parts, Joel simply wasn't there. ND put him there for you to buy the game obviously. Calling this false advertising might be going a bit too far I guess (I'm not a legal expert though), but it's certainly a dick move which will cause some loss of trust among the community's members.

    Through the flashback scenes by the way, Ellie will learn the truth about the ending of the first game. She then starts hyperventilating and crying, because she didn't get to die. Yes. She's crying because she survived. The game practically tells you that there was only one doctor who could make the cure in the world (lol) and he's dead now because of Joel. You're not allowed to think that maybe, MAYBE the fireflies wouldn't have been equipped enough to start producing serums for EVERYONE, or even create the serum AT ALL. Joel is painted as the evil being that destroyed humanity's last hope. (You had this question popping up at the end of the first game as well, but back then, you were allowed to think about it). I saw a Youtube video discussing this (sorry, I don't remember the channel) and the guy mentioned that he wouldn't give up his life for anything at 14 years of age. Well, I wouldn't either.

    So what's after this?

    Well, you go to Seattle, murder every living being associated with our great friend, Abby. Along your journey here and there, you will encounter the religious (? I couldn't really figure out) cult, the Seraphites, that just kill for fun. Obviously the message here is... Religion bad? I don't really know.

    Also, did I mention you play as Abby for 8-10 hours? Oh yeah, you have to play as Joel's murderer, and what's worse, they'll try to get you to actually like her. I mean... If they change the ending, and take these hours out of the game, it might not even be as bad as it is.

    Before the ending, there will be a few nice moments (mostly flashbacks), and some horroristic ones. And of course, endless, useless violence. Ellie freaks out because she murders a pregnant woman (in self defense, since as she's about to lower her guard, they approach and try to kill her), and Abby comes back from her tour with her new friend. They fight, but end up going their separate ways after that.

    And the ending... You actually find Abby, and force a fight, but since you have a vision of JOEL (who was brutally murdered in front of you) you decide - after murdering half the United States - that it's actually not worth it... ok. You also lose a couple of fingers.

    I'm not an expert on changing hands with guitar, but she definitely has 5 fingers on the other hand, and with 3 fingers, you can play pick, slap, or fingerstyle. So she leaves the guitar, obviously.

    We get a final scene with Joel, so after all this, you may feel a bit better.

    I think this game was not developed to be naturalistic, it was just developed by a psychopath.

    It will get GOTY ofc

    4/10 for me. Visuals.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically amazing game, wonderful locations, character models look good, gameplay is similar to previous game.

    Negatives outweigh the positives, tremendously. The story is abhorrent in every sense of the word. Logically, it doesn’t make too much sense in grand scheme of the overarching plot. It almost feels as if TLOU1 and TLOU2 are in entirely different universes. While it might be innocuous at first, the romance/sexual plots become increasingly contrived and painfully exasperating. The juxtaposition of multiple sexual trysts in a apocalyptic setting make the game jarring, and at points unbearable. There is one sexual encounter that is completely tasteless, and actually felt ashamed viewing it, much without my consent. The emotional highs are at best counterfeit of any actual human response. It feels as if the characters become bizarre caricatures of what somebody who has never interacted with society would think normal people would behave. If someone told me the story was written by a pre-pubescent teen tasked at writing a zombie holocaust melodrama, i would believe them. It’s that bad. Shallow and devoid of any realistic emotional nuance, this game is a dud and falls flat, far beyond the expectations of the first game.

    I would not pay the admission price for this game, wait to get it on cheap, or find another way to play it. The asking price is to much for such a abomination of story telling.    … Expand

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