    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After a seven year wait this is what naughty dog gives it’s devoted players, a game that essentially beats every aspect of what everyone loved about the original to a bloody pulp, and then proceeds to spit on it. However the graphics, landscapes and generally game design are very good, I just wish they weren’t wasting on such a piece of awful storytelling. To wrap this up, the game upon finishing left an awful taste in my mouth, very similar to the feeling I had while watching films such as alien 3 and terminator dark fate. Then again I think even that would be giving it to much credit. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine a third of the John Wick movie following the guy who killed his dog and the director trying to make you feel sympathy for him with lazy storytelling. Then at the end of the movie John Wick decides not to kill him for no reason at all. That’s TLOU2 in a nutshell. An utter travesty and desecration of the characters we all loved. Zero character development, forgettable characters, massive plot holes, unbelievable decisions, and lazy storytelling. Grade A garbage! 0/5

    The only reason all of the media and journalists gave this game perfect reviews was because they would be blacklisted if they didn’t and their wallets depend on licking the boot of fallen developers like Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll be talking about actual spoilers in the last paragraph. The rest of this review is spoiler free. This review that will be ignoring the so-called SJW/woke/whatever stuff. I know that can be divisive, so I'm leaving that out, and I think there's enough I can talk about without mentioning that.

    To start out, they basically pull a GOT finale and give Joel and Ellie the Daenerys treatment by having them do things that are completely against what their characters have been established as. And they not only do it once, but three times, some worse than others.

    That's before we even get to the company side of things. If you want to skip the company stuff, skip this paragraph. Normally I wouldn't include this in a review of the game itself, but I think it warrants mention here since many people are protesting the game because of Sony and Naughty Dog's behavior, such as the hostile workplace they've created and the blatant DMCA abuse when it's completely unwarranted. Some people literally only voiced their negative opinions of the game without showing ANY part of the game, and still got DMCA'd, which can take away people's ability to stream which is a huge source of revenue for some, essentially putting some streamers out of business for their opinions, and the fact they allowed a full blown and very revealing sex scene in TLOU2 while heavily censoring anime games (some with the same rating as TLOU2) months earlier for just being skimpy. There's also the blatant false advertising, such as them putting a fake scene in the trailer where Joel says to Ellie "you thought I'd let you go alone?" which doesn't actually happen.

    From a gameplay perspective, there's no to little improvements over the first TLOU, so some people think it feels stale. I will be fair and state that TLOU wasn't really known for its gameplay, but rather its atmosphere and story. The only positive it has going for is the graphics. So assuming you review it evenly based on graphics, gameplay, and story, giving each a 33% weight, it makes sense the game is getting 3's and 4's out of 10. If you weight the story itself more heavily, it still comes out about the same. It's a visually stunningly beautiful game... But that's about it.

    Spoiler section: The three instances of them pulling a GOT finale are these: Joel walking into a house and randomly announcing who he is, Ellie suddenly deciding to stop her quest for vengeance at the end, and Joel being the catalyst for her stopping. Most people who review this are so outraged by Joel's death that they fail to notice that they spit on his character more than once. Joel is merciless, mistrustful of others and outright says he would kill all the fireflies in the hospital all over again. He doesn't care who dies or who he kills. As such, it makes NO sense for him to walk into a room and announce who he is. It makes NO sense for Ellie to stop her quest of revenge, and it makes NO sense for the flashback of Joel to be what stops her since we damn well know he would have killed Abby without a second thought. And why the hell would you decide vengeance is bad only when reaching your final target and not stopping when you had to kill dozens of people OUT OF VENGEANCE to reach your target? And about Joel's death, I know in reality people often die unceremoniously, and their deaths are often underwhelming. Neil Druckmann outright said this game isn't supposed to be fun. But this is a video game. Video games are within the category of entertainment, a prerequisite of which is fun. So why would you make a game that isn't fun? Joel is a beloved character by the fans and he simply deserved better.

    The story of this game was so boring, the characters seem uninterested and bland. There is no emotion at all. Naughty Dog is pushing their woke agenda from many SJW's. The writing is so bad in this game. Thankfully I didn't purchase this game and avoided it.

    This game forced me to do annoying things. Through this game, I could see how arrogant and rude Naughty Dog's developers are. I had to do something I didn't want to do while playing this game. There was no choice anywhere. The developers weren't making games, this were just an educational video to educate me on their arrogance.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -I am at a loss with this game. From the written butchering of everything I loved about these characters, to the actual butchering of the characters I loved, to the complete loss of direction story-wise after the first hour of gameplay. What happened in the nearly decade long development of this game? Were all the original writers fired? Or were they overwritten by one man who thought he knew best, leading to a final season Game of Thrones situation that completely erased everything good that came before it.

    -Visually and audibly stunning, but devoid of anything resembling a redeeming quality beyond that. It is not only baffling but cruel to force the player to interact with what was a vibrant world through Abby, a character who's backstory and motivations feel hastily put together 10 minutes before the game was supposed to be presented as complete, after watching her brutally murder the arguably most complex character of the series, who was the main draw for players of the first game.

    -As for the LGBT themes that everyone seems hung up on. As any actual member of the community will tell you, if it's being forced this hard, you're probably faking it for the clout. Anyone with minimal skills of observation could tell that Ellie was likely lesbian from interactions and conversations in the first game, especially after the heavy obviousness that came in the DLC. So to overplay it and make it a constantly recurring theme and focus seems obtuse and forced. A person's sexuality is organic and who they are, not an add on that exists as a parallel to them.

    -Conversations felt unsettlingly robotic at times, there was no driving force to connect with any new characters, who presented themselves more as paper cutout stand ins rather than new opportunities for connection and emotional exploration.

    -Mechanically it was polished if unimaginative, drawing on expanding the capabilities of the platform on hardware level, and it shows how much focus that drew due to the complete and utter lack of any human connection anywhere in the game.

    -TL;DR This sequel is the runny disappointing sh*t after the best thanksgiving dinner of a first game you've ever had. Even the most highly polished turd is still a pile of sh*t. Flush and forget.

    The game is painful the play. I got the game day one and didn't believe how the reviews could be so bad, however the story is incredibly blase, if existent at all. It get's worse as you go, I've wanted to put the game down many times because it's so boring, but I wanted to see how the story ends.

    That major reviewers are giving this game 10/10 is such a farce. This is like what happened with bioware mass effect andromeda/anthem.

    LOS2 is truly bad. It's boring at best, and literally painful to play. too bad! RIP naughty dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start off, this game only gets points because of the graphics which are amazing, and the gameplay which builds upon the first one. That being said, it breaks my heart to say that this game sucks as far as story. I hated the way Joel died when I’m fact the selling point for me was that Joel seemed like he was going to be in the game so much more in the trailers. Then having the game force you to play as the antagonist Abby (the one who did it) made me hate it even more. At the halfway point when I started playing as Abby I immediately quit, then later started playing again to get the hopefully one part over with Until I realized that this would be the rest of the game. I did not care about her point of view at all because I found myself asking “is it over?” After every segment. After her gameplay I wanted the game to be over after having like 2 more hours of gameplay (a false ending) Then to have everything happen all for nothing was probably one the biggest gaming disappointments of my life. No exaggeration. Do not buy this game. It felt like a chore to finish this game and I only felt obligated to because I spent money on it. Biggest waste of time and money ever Expand

The graphics and sound effects are great but the story makes it hard to enjoy the gameplay especially when it cut to flashback after flashback that you have to play through and you are forced to play as the one who killed Joel. It wasn't fun. I am in my 2nd playthrough and I thought it would be enjoyable this time because I already know the story but unfortunately it isn't.

    I will think again before buying this game because Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 are on their way and you might enjoy and have fun with these games more than a game that was design to disturb you and punish you for loving the main characters of the first the last of us game. it really drains you and sucks the life out of you.

    Even I felt repulsed because I had no discriminatory thoughts about PCs.
    It was an attitude to teach with a sense of moral superiority, but it was not that high, and it felt like I was forced to continue eating uncomfortable food.

    Basically, the last of us Part 2's sense of subject or story is not very unconventional. Rather, it's more like a cliche.
    What was the reason for showing an obvious story through unpleasant plots and directing?
    I have no idea what the benefits of him are.
    Regardless of the unpleasantness of the PC or story, the composition itself seems to have dropped.

    I think Star Wars : the last Jedi and the sequel to the masterpiece can be a challenging choice. It would have been a more destructive story if it had done well because the return was a bold but big approach.
    But it failed miserably in an unconvincing way.
    Shouldn't we focus first on showing the game to the public as a culture and art and enjoying it? It is too irresponsible to draw only the pictures they want.

    Is there anyone who made this fun?
    Especially for people like me who have deep memories of their previous work...
    To be honest, it was more like a last of Earth sequel.
    It was a series of inconveniences while playing games.

If this would have been just a random game it might have earned a 6 out of 10 for the effort and for trying, but for what naughty dog was able to deliver in the past, this feels like they didn´t care at all about the story or the characters of the first game. This game is just nice to look at but you have to be able to completely shut down you brain, not know or not care about the first game and just want to enjoy stunning graphics. The writing in this game feels like a low budget teenage high school soap opera. The graphics are sadly so good that you can see bad acting, and I don´t want to say the actors are bad, but the characters and dialogs really just feel shallow and are surly directed by someone who doesn´t have contact with a lot of real humans. Most of what happens, happens because of unbelievable coincidences (also called bad and lazy writing) and almost nothing that the characters do is relatable or even just true to how you know them from the first game. This truly is "Game of Thrones Season 8" Naughty Dog style mixed with "Terminator dark fate" with the twist that they try to make you sympathise with the Terminator who killed John Connor for 10 hours, but giving you nothing to be able to. I could go on for days but overall: if this game was made to make gamers feel stupid for caring or trying to bond with video-game characters and showing them that playing games is a waste of time, then the message was delivered 10/10!

    This game has nothing to do with the first TLOU! You are paying for the title, not for the content!
    There is no story progress and no character development. You are forced to hate it. The ending is very disappointing and anticlimactic. You are introduced to new characters with no reedemable qualities and no personality. There is literally nothing good about this, absolutely nothing.

    Hated the story.

    Not a feel good game. Not a story you want to remembe. Very bleak at times and the motivations for a lot of the violence in this game is hard to defend at times.
    Lucky naughty dog have an excellent pedigree and I have loved every one of their games so far.

Дальше еще интереснее покажите мне хотя бы одну беременную женщину которая нормально чувствует себя на поле боя?! Это не логично с точки зрения физиологии. Геймплей однообразные, из-за большого количества повторяющихся сцен игра становится однообразной. А главное логика сюжета. Полностью потерялась. Существует уже куча игр с выбором сюжетной линии? Но знаете что? Нам дают только один выбор. Один сюжет в 2к20. Система прокачки полностью ненужная. В игре где каждый патрон на вес золота мы качаем скорострельность, все окей. Концовка полностью разочаровывает. Игра очень затянуться. Не понятная и никому не нужная история Эбби, из всего геймплея нам понадобилось 2 минуты чтобы понять не мотивацию зачем это растягивать на 15 часов тоже не понятно Я бы вернула за это деньги да кто нас спрашивает.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game doesn’t understand its players. It’s focus is directed more towards sending a message than it is to telling a story. The ending feels like a punch in the face. You’re telling me that Ellie kills hundreds of «bad guys» who have families (and dogs) and feelings and still she just lets Abby go? Ellie didn’t realize beforehand that Joel wouldn’t want Ellie to waste her life?

    Everything that made the first game so amazing is just gone from the second game. The 10 hour long journey to make us understand Abby just left a sour taste in my mouth. It felt like a bad DLC and I was constantly waiting for it to end. Besides, Abby was a spiteful and bad person. Her dad was about to kill a 14 year old girl, and she doesn’t understand why Joel would defend that girl? Her dad even expressed uncertainty when faced with the question of what he’d do if it was Abby who was immune, and still she doesn’t understand why Joel did what he did? Mel was right, Abby is a piece of ****

    I could rant forever about how bad and disappointing this game is, but the game doesn’t deserve my time. Words can’t describe how bad this game is, but numbers can. 0/10

I love the lgbtq representation and diversity in the game but I feel like most of it was unnecessary to the plot line? like it felt forced almost. Also, as a player of the game, and human being, seeing a character i was so attached with from the first game die the most brutal way possible was heartbreaking and disappointing. I think it's very obvious that joel's death was very messy and makes no sense at all. Almost like they wanted to get over with him. I hated the game with a passion. The idea was there but i the execution was horrible. it had potential of being a diverse, have a strong storyline that gives you closure, and emotional. But instead it was forced, and horrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK Don't write many reviews but had to for this one. I played TLOU about 5 times or more. Again just before this game in anticipation. Sadly, I've only played this game once and will be trading it in and forgetting about it. What a wasted opportunity to build on top of a fantastic game (TLOU). The character arc and development is extremely poor. There is no explanation for many of the plots. In TLOU you were a passenger n the journey the Joel and Ellie took. In this game,

    I can see why fans are angry and saying Naughty Dog deceived them. All promos and trailers essentially showed Ellie on a revenge spree. Yes Joel was there but it could be guess that either he or Dina were gong to die to make Ellie so angry. But the main part of the game, you're not playing as Ellie.

    Even worse, youre jumping back and forth between characters and time periods that it gets downright confusing.

    I don't mind Joel got killed. That actually made me want to play the game as it gave Ellie her motivation for what she was about to do. Bring it on!! But from there, the story falls flat.

    Then we start playing Abby for what seems the majority of the game. WTF? I hated this segment and was forced to trudge through it only to see the ending. The sections where you're fighting Ellie as Abby were just plain dumb. Many a time, I stood out in the open so Elli could kill me but that ended the game.

    I got excited when we became Ellie again, albeit it for a short moment.

    Sadly this is a forgettable game and wont be played again by me. This isn't the Last of Us part 2, may a well have called it "The Abby Chronicles".

    Such a shame Naughty Dog handed this out after 7 years of development. Would have been better to leave TLOU as a one off and done a different IP.

    I was thinking Id play this game a few times to get my fill and savour the moment. All I can say is thank God Gh0st of Tsushima and Cyberpunk are coming out soon!

    You know, I think a lot has been said about Neil Druckmann, the Israeli born director who gets to lecture you about equality in America, all the while his countrymen keep on with the relentless oppression of indigenous men, women and children, and do so in perfect impunity.

    What has been systematically downplayed however, is how boring and repetitive this game is. It drags, it drags like a snail on tarmac, to the point that it will make you question your infatuation for videogames. There is no pay off, no meaning, you will just be left empty, knowing that you wasted yet another 25 hours of your life.

    Controls are good, movements are fluid, but the AI is disappointing and the lack of innovative gameplay features, mechanics, and intelligent level design, unequivocally clues the player in as to the misguided priorities of this creative endeavor.

    To think that all of these resources, human labor, and skills, were put to the exclusive service of such a mediocre - dare I say, incompetent - director, and game designer, puts into question the reality of the meritocratic nature of this industry.

Avoided social media as much as possible, and youtube videos as well. I think I did a fairly good job of avoiding as much info as possible. So now, after weeks of torture, I finally got to play it.

    Oh my. what was this?
    First of all, how could you do that to the best part of the first game? Namely, Joel and Ellie. How could ND do that to them. Such utter disrespect.
    The main reasons I loved the first game, were simply treated like trash by ND.
    And the character that they introduced? What is this?
    The only thing I was thinking while playing was, is this some sort of joke?
    But no, it was real, and it was what they had intended.
    Immediate turn-off number one.

    Now, let me get to the story. Absolutely Horrid. What part one's story had as a story of hope, this utter mess had destroyed to become some sort of social justice public announcement. Again, I was instantly turned off by what the story had become.

    Now, the gameplay to me in the original was always secondary to the story.
    Slow paced, hide-and-seek, limited ammo gameplay. Nice, but not its saving grace.
    It is basically the same with few nice new features.

    Graphics are amazing as usually, but the disaster of a story and cringe cutscenes and agenda pushing messages won't save it this time.

    I can’t say much because I don’t like spoiling but whoever wrote this game doesn’t understand some basic story writing aspects that all the great writers for books/movies always follow. There isn’t an arc, a point of maturity, it’s a hollow husk that borrows the name of the previous game only in letters.

I have just got past the Joel death and made my way to Seattle and I have turned it off, never to be turned back on again.. There is an ‘Woke’ agenda that’s been pushed into this game needlessly. . I’m all for more female characters and more diversity in my games. But not at the detriment of the stories and characters I’ve grown to love!! Make a new IP or a stand alone story for that. And that’s not me being sexist or prejudice. I’d feel the same if you swapped out Lara Croft for a **** male character! Stop trying to be so woke with our beloved games and characters!... no one is stopping you creating brand new content but please just stop this airbrushing out the ones we love! In short... - Poor storyline
    - Forgettable, meaningless characters - Not much development in gameplay mechanics I find it astounding that the gaming industry is still able to get away with delivering poor products but is not held accountable.

    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.
