    As for the game... I just can't find much to like in this. The gameplay was never a *great* thing outside of occasional multiplayer in the first one, and really the only thing going for this game are its improved graphics and models over the first game. Aside that, oh boy was the story a train wreck of completely nonsensical decisions that were both uncharacteristic and sloppily written.As for the game... I just can't find much to like in this.

However. since its a sequel, this games narrative sucks the big one. Naughty Dog games thrive on the movie like experience; this game fails because the character switch is something I as a fan did not want, nor feel like it was warranted. The deconstruction of characters, false advertising and editing of promotional material to the games release is appalling. The story is laughable, making people go on long quests for no reason, resulting in more needless bad things to happen. The violence and horror from the first game were warranted; the brutal scenes seem to be done for the shock value.

    This is a below-average-quality zombie game masked with AAA graphics, familiar faces of much-beloved characters, and a number of unusually perfect reviews from notable critics. It may be painful to accept for diehard fans who have been waiting years for this title, but I must sadly say that in my experience, I have found that what you've probably heard is true: there is no soul behind the facade.

    The gameplay mechanics have been marginally improved from the original game. I emphasize 'marginally'. They are still clumsy and ultimately not as well executed as rival titles. New mechanics such as the "jump" are functionally useless and often add nothing of any true value. It looks but does not feel like a videogame released in 2020. I admit the Last of Us shared the same issues as this sequel, yet it was able to get by with a very well executed and emotional character-driven story.

    TLOU was short, sweet, simple, and powerful - towering above other games in the genre. This new entry in the series comes nowhere close and fundamentally fails at continuing the narrative in any meaningful way, ultimately creating a bland, inconsistent, frustrating, unrewarding, and pointlessly tragic story riding largely on shock value. At the end of the game I found that the message it chose to deliver fell totally flat and was not conveyed in any sort of logical way; those who embraced the Kindergarten-level philosophy that the plot tried to impose ended up suffering and losing the most.. What? It doesn't teach a lesson. It revels in throwing expectations to the wind and interjecting torture.

    The narrative is also NOT what the promotional media implies. For those of you who simply must see this game for yourself or are considering picking it up for the $10 it's worth in a later PSN sale, I won't spoil it for you. But be aware of this: the promotional media is misleading with unrelated scenes stitched together and characters substituted with others to create the impression that the narrative is something it is not. I have never, ever felt cheated by a tactic like this before – usually I smile and think "wow, they got us!" – but I feel... betrayed.

    If you love the unique characters and dynamic relationships of the original Last of Us, you will not enjoy this game. If you love the simple but powerful narrative that drove the original Last of Us, you will not enjoy this game.

    This is a disappointing game designed by a company known to abuse their employees. It does not carry the magic of its predecessor. Buyers beware.    … Expand

The 7 years it took to make this game were evidently not used to make a better story, and the smoke and mirrors tactic naughty dog employed to trick people into buying the game was an egregious act that no major media outlet is covering because the only thing publications such as IGN care about are brownie points and being in the good graces of naughty dog and sony. Apparently receiving early review copies are the only thing that keeps games like these on top, but take a second and think about it for yourself: perfect 10/10's, 100/100's ? Something shouldnt feel right here for you. A 10/10 is a perfect game, and while absolutely no game is perfect, this one is far from it. This game is nothing like the first, and anyone going into this game based on the previous will be extremely disappointed. Neil Druckman and Naughty Dog severely under performed and might have possibly killed one of the most beloved franchises and main characters in gaming. I hope this game and its failure exposes the failures of pandering to audiences and ignoring core gamers, and expose media outlets for lying to the public to increase the number of copies sold.… Expand

    This franchise is all about the story. Without the story the game means nothing. This game does have great visuals and decent gameplay, but the main focus needs to be the story. The story is awful and it tries too hard to make you feel sorry for people that you immediately don’t want to feel sorry for. The ending was completely ridiculous and have no sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Comparing the quality of the writing in TLOU2 to GoT S8 is both appropriate and the kindest thing you can say about the writing.
    Having waited 7 years for the sequel to the most intense, satisfying & powerful cinematic story in gaming, this is a disaster. All the characters act like they're in the first few months after the pandemic & struggling to come to terms with their new, violent reality. It permeates the game. There are some interesting ideas & themes that are never fleshed out or explored & are constantly mired in dialogue & behaviour expected of modern college kids, not those raised in the apocalypse. The technical aspects are as stunning as the performances, the story is nonsensical & unsatisfying at best. The gameplay is completely at odds with the narrative themes it so ineptly attempts to thrust at you, with all the subtlety and appeal of a homeless person thrusting a rotten pigeon carcass in your face and asking you to kiss their baby. It's the poster child for ludonarrative dissonance. There are enjoyable moments to be found, but even though it's a short game, it drags painfully. The ending is unsatisfying and invalidates the theme Neil claims he built the story around even more than the gameplay which not only forces you to slaughter trainloads of strangers, but take satisfaction in it, as shown by the constant mumbling both player characters constantly indulge in every time they do anything or think anything.
    The story is barely worth a point. I've added a bonus point for the brilliant work on display by the production teams, none of which can remotely compensate for this intelligence insulting indulgence in narrative imbecility, stitched together by a complete reliance on constant, unbelievable coincidences and truly cretinous behaviour by all the characters, but especially those previously shown to be smart, cunning, suspicious and capable. What a waste.    … Expand

    I withheld my judgements till the time I had finished the game, thinking that may be something else would happen that would make me change my opinions, but no.

    The graphics are good, the world looks good, but so much of this game has not been changed from the first part, which came out seven years ago. You’d think when a game takes this long to create, almost everything would see an overhaul. But no, many things didn’t. The gameplay is the same, the stealth is the same, the death animations are the same for multiple enemies, the upgrade elements are the same, the upgrade station looks the same, the whole system is the same. Level design and exploration is all the same. Even the exploration is marred by so many invisible walls. This game gives you the illusion of having the freedom to explore, only to be met with invisible walls and pre planned loot and dialogues. The story doesn’t give you any freedom at all. It basically spoon feeds you a story that you have no control over. It asks you do certain actions, without giving you any choice at any point, then in the end it scolds your for doing the things that it told you to do.

    This game tries so hard to teach us moral lessons but it’s so forced that it doesn’t belong here. This all looks so plastic. There came a point in the game, when I felt so drowned into the sea of new characters and this sudden trend in this game, where I had to suddenly care about them and just forget about the two characters that I had been building my relationship with, since seven years ago, that I just stopped caring about the story. I stopped caring about the characters, and I certainly didn’t feel any emotions by the end of it. All I cared was to finish the game and get it over with.

    The linearity of this game is so evident, that you realise that you are stuck in the fairy land of one person‘s cruel fantasies and childlike urges, and their whimsical delusions. It’s their world, and they show you the start, the middle, and the end. All you have to do is hold the controller and watch a movie. You get no option at any point in the game. Not during combat, not during story, not during exploration. This is the game model that frankly should be kept far, far away from the public, because to all the people who like democracy, this is a slap in the face. If I wanted to watch a petty revenge fantasy which was so far off from its sequel, I would have gone and watched a petty revenge fantasy which was so far off from its sequel. I wouldn’t have wasted $60 and 25 hours on it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very upset and sad to see one of my favorite games of all time ruined by such a poor story

    The Last of us to me is a story driven game that thrives on good writing and unfortunately they could not continue this into the second game. Going into the game I was very impressed with the graphics and gameplay. It felt amazing and it was great to be back into the Joel and Ellie story. Killing off Joel was unfortunate to me and how he went out was bad writing, but it did not kill the game for me. Early on playing as Ellie I actually enjoyed the game and loved the brutal side of Ellie. It was once you took control of Abby the game went completely downhill. I remember the second the Ellie side ended and I saw myself controlling Abby I had to stop for a second because I could not believe I had to play as a character I hated so much. I personally did not enjoy playing as Abby one bit and her story was just something I was forcing myself through to see what happens with Ellie. To rub salt in the wound even more about Joels death then making us play as Abby to kill Ellie was probably one of my least favorite experiences I have ever had in any game. Every-time I was killed by Ellie as Abby i was excited and just wanted it to end. Finally towards the end of the game we got to be Ellie again hunting Abby down one last time. At this point the game already went sour, but I had hope there could be a little light left in it. Unfortunately I was completely wrong and they found a way to ruin the game even more by sparing Abby. Ellie being completely broken at the end was tough to experience and left me feeling upset and wishing I had never played the game.

    Story: 0/10
    Gameplay: 10/10
    Visuals: 10/10

    Conclusion: As a Huge fan of the first game I was very disappointed and sad to see one of the best games I have ever played destroyed by such a terrible story. What made the first game so memorable to me was the story and getting so invested into Ellie and Joel only to have it ripped away from me in Part two    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're a fan of the original Last of Us and Joel and Ellie are your favorite characters - i have bad news for you. First and foremost, don't trust any fake reviews, that linked here, if you want an honest opinion check SkillUp review on youtube or visit reddit for Last of Us 2 for honest discussions.

    WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

    For some strange reason, Neil Druckman thinks that Game of Thrones Season 8 and The Last Jedi are the masterpieces and decided to follow the same footsteps.

    During the first hour of the game, Joel is killed like some trash NPC, ignoring his character personality and cautious (to unknown people) behavior towards strangers.

    Then you play as Ellie, to EXECUTE DEM REVENGE, but, then, Jessie is killed like a trash NPC. It was so hilarious i can't even describe in words.

    Next, you play as a Joel killer named Abby in order to symphatize with her (HELL, NO, TY) and then you try to kill Ellie by yourself (controlling Abby)

    During the ending Abby bites 2 fingers from Ellie's hand, but Ellie hallucinates about Joel and REVENGE IS BAD, ELLIE, STAPH! Then she spares Abby's life and sit down.....trying to play Joel's guitar, but there's -2 fingers on her hand, so she can't.

    120 out of 10

    If you consider yourself a fan, pretend that this game doesn't exist. It literally the worst insult a developer can do to it's famous franchise and it's fans.
    Not only that, but Neil Druckman insulted countless of people over twitter, calling them "homophobes" and saying things like "DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T BUY IT, FCK YOU" (this is a quote).

    So, be smart and follow the advice Neil Druckman himself - don't buy it.

    The game is so awfully writted with weak characters, almost zero development and trashy second protagonist, which you can't even kill as Ellie at the end.

    Amazing to look at, really how did they get this out of a PS4 pro, cannot fault it.
    The sound design is great, a few repeated lines that keep been said but still great for this age of tech.
    Animations are great/fluid.

    The OK
    The acting is a mixed bag, it's well done but the script is at times is cringe.

    The BAD
    This is the big bad that destroyers all the other good work, the story is painfully bad. By that I mean its The Last Jedi bad (ok some like that film)
    There are decisions made in-game that are "wtf, did they forget about character behavior/knowledge in the 1st game" plot holes, side stories where I was let saying out loud "Why are you making us play this long side story... it's crap" then the wonderful swap where you play as a person you basically hate....and this is not even mentioning a worse death than Luke in The Last Jedi.
    I get people need to die in games and films, to motivate others, give a reason for their actions, but write it well and in such a way that even those who disagree with it, still see the reason and can understand it.
    After about 15 hrs I was just playing to finish it, get it done, sadly it got worse near the end but by then I had given up and just wanted it finished so I could get it on Ebay.

The foundation for TLOU becoming such a good game is mainly because of the story line and the way naughty dog decided to present this story line just seems rushed and very bad written, even the character personalities is totally changed. in what world would Joel follow a stranger into their group of people? Playing as Abby for half the game is boring and torturing. Btw the ending sucked even more than Joel being killed off. Please fire Neil Druckman :)… Expand

    The pacing is horrendous. At some points you want cutscenes to end because the conversations and characters actions are so bad, and you want to get back to the gameplay, which actually drags for too long too. You are into this repetitiveness mess for the entire game.

    They obviously traded character development for shock value. Characters are as smart as the person who writes the lines for them. The violence and gore are over the top, and non of te characters learned anything from the things going on in this world. Characters felt like they were just put in there in order for Ellie to get her revenge.

    The ending is also the most unrealistic thing I've seen. For a game aiming to teach you something out of the reality of it's own world, the ending makes absolutely no sense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow I literally have no words to explain how disappointing this game is. The story is uninspiring just a whack revenge story. The only reason for killing joel was to give us this sorry excuse for a sequel, how does a man who survived everything the world has throw at him for the last 25 years gets killed in the worst possible way ever. than the game makes you play as the person who kills joel for a big part of the game in order for us to feel bad for her and justify her actions of killing her. horrible story whoever though this was a good idea obviously didn't understand the story and attached fans felt with joel and ellie for it to end with joel being killed off in such a petty way its completely idiotic. I and probably many fans though that joel would die in this game but in a more meaningful way, protecting ellie or sacrificing himself, not for a disgraceful revenge story. the fact that they make you play as this character is pretty much the worst decision ever. I put the controller down uninstalled the game and returned it to gamestop. never have I ever wanted to kill a video game character more than abby and it turns out ellie doesn't even do it. yeah heads up ellie has no problem murdering about 100+ people to get to her just to let her go in the end. worst of all ellie literally loses everything, joel, dina and the life they created, she even loses her pinky finger and ring finger and cant play the guitar anymore. holy crap the girl walks into the woods and the credits roll. what a terrible ending for such a loved character this sequel defiantly should not have been made.… Expand

Falling from grace almost overnight, by injecting politics, pushing an agenda onto the public. As well as claiming several YouTube and Twitter accounts with DMCA claims. Sony and ND have severely tarnished their reputations among the gaming community. TLOU2 tries too hard to claim the players attention, relying on it's brand of cinematic dramatisation. It's a gruelling journey of depression and bleakness, drowning in morbidity. Aside from flach back segments, there is not a single moment of respite or joy like the first game had, which helped the pacing and added contrast to the story. In fact, the flash backs of Joel and Ellie are the best this game has to offer, which is ironic. The established characters feel out-of-place and poorly written, along with new characters, who are either boring or annoying. The story is so laughably bad, I had trouble pressing on as I felt the writing get progressively worse. It's appropiate to say that the comparison to GOT S8, or The Last Jedi feels hits the nail on the head. The gameplay is okay. A somewhat improvement on the first game's stealth and combat, which were already cumbersome tedious. TLOU2 feels more like a new coat of paint, rather than an much needed overhaul. The game is gorgeous to look at. Probably the best looking game of this generation. The environments are phenomenal and well designed. Unfortuantely the cons far outweigh the pros in this 25 hr long sh*t show of a story. Which is why we all play ND games. For a great story. And this ain't it, chief.… Expand

The story in a game comes first above all other aspects a game has. What made the first game of The Last of Us special was an awesome story and the connection you felt with its characters along the game. In The Last of Us Part II, it’s the opposite. It’s all about taking revenge and trying to hunt the antagonist, because they hurt the protagonists of the first game. The goal is very disoriented and most part of the game you feel like you are running in circles only based on catching the antagonist. Literally the story is like an “catch me if you can” game that repeats itself over and over again. The half of the game you are forced to play as the antagonist, which you feel no connection with. I really wanted to like this game, but for me the story is everything in a game and this felt like a very bad side-story. And of course the media are saying that the bad user reviews are just because they come from people that are homophobic or don’t like the politics the game has. I have nothing against that the protagonist is gay and I don’t judge people based on their orientation. By the way The Last of Us: Left Behind had also a LGBT aspect and it was taken very positive by the gamers (because it told a good story). The majority of the bad user reviews its because of the lack of story the game has. Don’t fool yourself on believing the 10/10 critics that the media scores and don’t ignore the opinion of the consumers that don’t get payed by saying it’s a 10/10 game.

To a point that i was recording to my Youtube channel and after 2 hours to the game on the scene that everybody knows i turn of everything, deleted my records and return the game this bad WTF. One the best games 4 years ago became the worst game i ever played hands down and i refuse to play with other character.

    waited 7 years for a rushed pointless plot and horrible character representation. it made no sense. Waste of money, waste of time. TLOU went from the best game to the absolute worst. The only nice thing about the game is the graphics.

    It seems unfair to me that the media is forcefully saying that we are giving bad scores for intolerant, that's a lie, first, no important decision in the game is justified or worthwhile, the antagonist is terrible, and regarding progressivism I have no problem, but they arrive to a point of making it inorganic, finally the end of the game is empty, without any sense, unjustified and youIt seems unfair to me that the media is forcefully saying that we are giving bad scores for intolerant, that's a lie, first, no important decision in the game is justified or worthwhile, the antagonist is terrible, and regarding progressivism I have no problem, but they arrive to a point of making it inorganic, finally the end of the game is empty, without any sense, unjustified and you feel that it was not worth the trip… Expand

    Further proof that the media is corrupt and dishonest, that wokeness ruins everything, and the utter failure of current Naughty Dog leadership. No amount of graphic or gameplay advancements make up for a paper thin, trite, and dull story.

    Эксперимент, явно, не удался. Понял на первом часу игры за что такой большой рейтиг у критиков, видимо, иначе им просто не заплатят :)

I for one would have doomed the world to save Ellie regardless of any choice. That’s how much I loved her and loved how much Joel needed her. You butchered everything that meant in the last of us 2. The comment I read in one of these reviews said it best. This is the last Jedi. Y’all have gone off on a political agenda. Being woke is more important than good story telling. You failed at everything in tlou2 that made the tlou1 as great as it is. These reviews are not bots but a reflection by the fans on this sh.. show. So sad. Was so hoping you’d have made another great game. What a disaster. Ps if your graphics weren’t as good as they are I’d have given y’all a 0.… Expand

    It is just a big disappointment. Graphics and game play is better than the 1st one, but it is overall a boring experience. The story is the main problem. It just felt very forced and full of plot holes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the whole game hoping to have even a little semblance of enjoyment I had with the first game. Instead, it was a depressing narrative with a plot that made little sense whatsoever. I seriously made this account to review this game because it was that bad. So bad, in fact, that I’m going to pretend it wasn’t canon and this game never existed. A revenge arc WITHOUT the revenge aspect. Does that make any sense? I absolutely love Joel and Ellie, and while I admit I Joel’s death didn’t come as a shock to me it was the poor writing and terrible plot that ruined the game for me. Why would I feel any sympathy for characters that butchered Joel? I understand why Abby wants Joel dead. In fact, I actually really liked her connection to Joel- being the daughter of the Fireflies surgeon. However, Joel was never a perfect character. We loved him because he was flawed. The game just feels so artificial in coercing scenes to make you sympathize with her when that can never be the case. To make matters worse, they force you to play as her for 6+ hours in an irrelevant story line about Scars just to put more hours into a game. Playing as the person who killed our beloved main character Joel. To make matters even more terrible, we play as Abby and beat the ever loving crap out of Ellie. Fun. In an entire plot about going from A to B to C and killing people from Abby’s crew, it was just so boring and unoriginal. Last of Us was unique with its powerful story telling. In this game, the narrative was so weak. It focused on shocking the audience with random jump scares and random sequences that don’t make sense (the pregnant woman Ellie killed. Of course she wouldn’t say she’s pregnant while Ellie aims a gun at them, attacks her, and would conceal her stomach with heavy clothing.. because then we couldn’t have that gasp moment right??) While Ellie kills everyone and their grandmother for revenge- with stealth and stabbing people in the back and through their throats- she apparently has a change of heart at the end when fighting Abby. Does that make any sense to you? The woman who killed Joel, murdered Jesse, bit off her two fingers, and almost slit pregnant Dina’s throat she just lets her go? She definitely would’ve killed her at that point. Why would she act like a samurai and want to fight Abby honorably? The whole “lets fight! Make the first move. Or I will kill Lev.” The whole I can’t let you leave bit. That’s not Ellie. She’s an avenger. With her resolve, she would’ve stabbed her once she cut her down from the pillar. Ellie didn’t need to think twice when killing Nora. She left Dina to travel across the country, again, to end it once and for all. What a joke that she just magically changed her mind.

    The worst part about this game is how Naughty Dogs butchered the characters you cared most about in TLOU1. I guess Tommy is fine but lost his eye and his brother. But Joel was killed even though he wouldn’t have placed himself in that situation but sure. Whatever. Then, Ellie doesn’t avenge him. Ellie loses everyone she ever cared about. She can’t even play the guitar. Why not give her a break? All for some stupid unrealistic and artificial plot about revenge not being the answer.. This would only make sense if Ellie actually killed her. I hope this game gets the flaming it deserves. It just destroyed this franchise. I don’t even care about Joel dying, but his death was absolutely wasted and used to fuel a garbage plot line. And, for the hundredth and final time, NEVER gets resolved.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must say that the thing that shocked me was the way that Joel got killed. Couldn't understand how an experienced man who was in hiding trusted a group of armed people that he just met and got slaughtered like a pig. Story and narration was poor, characters blunt and unlikable. For me really bad decision whoever chose this scenario just shot Naughty Dog in the foot.
    Graphics stunning 9/10,

    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]
