The plot is 5/10, it has twists and turns, but we all know how idiotic ending this game has and the developers have not changed it, according to critics who were not afraid to rate this game lower (7.0 / 10) said that many threads are forced to just evoke feelings on the player (threads about LGBT and love that forgives everything, even killing someone close yhh, fellings, more fellings, more more fellings....in a zombie survival...). Another strange thing is that the creators decided to significantly limit the number of black opponents, rly? the creators assumed that during such an apocalypse there are definitely more white people than black people?! pathological... and this is exactly political correctness....When it comes to the AI ​​(people) often is wrong/bugs, when it comes to zombies it is just like in the first part, nothing new, only a new interface, if the opponent notices us constantly we receive notifications that we have been detected and we are threatened, it is really annoying and you can't turn it off. This game is saved only by graphics! STOP MAKING GAME ABOUT LGBT AND POLITICAL CORRECT!!    … Expand

    The 2nd WORST GAME of ALL TIME. This **** drivel is the most disappointing thing since MASS ERECT 3. Basically this game is like if the medic from Ground Zeroes killed Big Boss. A complete travesty.

    What a disgrace. I can't believe the lengths they went to ruin a simple genuinely touching and heartwarming father/daughter story like TLOU. You know, Joel, the beloved main character from    The 2nd WORST GAME of ALL TIME. This **** drivel is the most disappointing thing since MASS ERECT 3. Basically this game is like if the medic from Ground Zeroes killed Big Boss. A complete travesty.

    What a disgrace. I can't believe the lengths they went to ruin a simple genuinely touching and heartwarming father/daughter story like TLOU. You know, Joel, the beloved main character from TLOU... all those scenes from the trailers are flashbacks. Also... Oh yeah. He's DEAD.

    Just disgusting, appalling treatment and blatant abuse of the fanbase's trust. This company should be **** ASHAMED.

    Especially sicking this **** on people during this horrible unprecedented pandemic... way to just make your fans feel hopeless. And for FALSE ADVERTISING and blatantly abusing the copyright system to cover their tracks. Total bait and switch. This feels like a personal attack on everyone who loved the 1st game. A game made terrible human beings, not to mention slave labor harvested. Leaks 100% true.

    I got so depressed after watching the scene where Joel get murdered by the equivalent of a **** goomba I had to stop playing for 3 hrs. It's SO BAD. It's not even on the same level as TLOU storywise. It's not so much the fact he died, it's HOW AND WHY. Senseless. What a waste of a character.

    Both RDR games showed us how to properly kill off a main protagonist, and those deaths are poignant, meaningful, and actually done WELL. This was disrespectful to Joel's character and the fans as far as I'm concerned.

    I can understand killing off your protagonist if it's done in service of the story, but I can't condone this in the manner in which it happened was just plain distasteful. This was clearly done on purpose for shock value to hurt the fans, nothing more. There's nothing deep or profound about **** like this. Do they think this portrayal makes women, gays or any of the people they're trying to pander to look good? Size of the ocean, depth of a puddle.

    This game is pure hatred towards fans who enjoyed TLOU. It feels VERY personal and I'm disgusted with ND atm. WHAT IS THIS? WHO IS THIS FOR?! I HATE this game. This is just a bunch of toxic hate mongering bull**** by so-called "oppressed" social justice weirdos.

    TLOU was so sacred, so special. I'll just have to ignore it and pretend this ****ty sequel doesn't exist since the original was a perfect self-contained story. As a FORMER ND fan for over a decade, I feel betrayed.    … Expand

The visuals are nice and very satisfying for 2020 standards but are hardly as groundbreaking as corrupt reviewers are making out to be. As the for the story, this game deliberately makes an attempt to destroy and bastardise the legacy and fate of beloved characters in order to cheaply subvert expectations and push a political agend. The rest of the story feels lacklustre and unsure of its own endgame and is constantly bringing the narrative to a halt with the overuse of flashbacks and different character perspectives . The ending is a disgusting disservice to the efforts of the player and leaves beloved characters in a depressing and hopeless scenario whilst characters hated by the fan base are set up for a sequel.

    Avoid this game at all costs if you enjoyed Part 1. This is a bastardization of the characters you knew and loved. There are long and boring areas and several hours with nothing to do at all except search hoping to advance the story. But trust me on this, you don't want to advance the story. You want to request a refund immediately.

    There are many reasons to dislike this sequel, as many other reviews have demonstrated very clearly. It is also such a shame that defenders of the game (for whatever reason) use "attacks of diversity of LGBT" to label players who are genuinely, simply disappointed by the story itself, not anything else.

The technical stuff is there, graphics-wise it feels like a 2020 game, but oh god, the story is so badly written and full of social and politic agenda It makes you wonder why Bruce Straley left the studio 3 years ago when this was in development and Sarkeesian became a consultor for the game.

My eagerness to play as Joel and Ellie and continue their adventures were stopped dead in their tracks as quickly as it began, If The Last of Us was the high point in Naughty Dog's career, this is surely the low. It is no wonder why 80% of their team left during this game's creation due to disagreement of its creation. Neil Druckmann and any others involved in this story, writing, dialogue, or narrative, single-handedly ruined it all. It actually pains me to know we waited 7 years for this... but as for my friends and I, this game doesn't exist. The story ended with the original. This is a disgrace… Expand

But those aren't the reasons why you buy The Last of Us games. The story is horrible. The death of Joel was handled so poorly. It was needlessly vicious and brutal and this is from someone who plays Doom. Not long ago Bungie killed off Cayde-6, a very beloved character, but they did it well, with respect to the fans and the character. What Naughty Dog did with Joel and the pointless revenge story after, is just bad. Don't waste your money. Preorder the new Paper Mario game or the upcoming Destiny 2 Beyond Light.… Expand

There are several new characters none of which are particularly likable and some who are straight up detestable. Gameplay wise, not much has actually changed from the first game, despite what trailers had led us to believe. Above all, the main problem with this game, is even describing it as a game. Calling it a game suggests there is some level of enjoyment to be had from playing it. When in reality The Last Of Us Part 2 is a thoroughly unpleasant experience all round. I wasn't even sure how to rate this experience. a 0 might seem like i'm just another person trying to "troll" the game (a term seemingly used only when people disagree with your personal dislike of something and a way for them to try invalidate said opinion) but it came down to this. Is there ANYTHING about this game that i feel would make me want to go through "playing" it again? would i recommend it to someone who might enjoy it even if i didn't? sadly the answer to both of those questions is no. The Last Of Us Part 2 is poorly written, with no significant gameplay changes, but above all is simply not a pleasant experience to slog through. Fortunately my old house mate works for Sony so i didn't have to pay to "play" this game.… Expand

    It just isn't fun. It's just another third-person shooter (which are a bit weird to me out of the gate without mouse controls). It adds nothing new to the table. Also for a game that has such a huge focus on story and cutscenes, the animations simply aren't good enough--they are rickety and unrealistic.

It upsets me that I have to say this about such a dear and beloved game to both me and many other people out there, but I'll give my opinion on this game anyway.

    While the last of us part 2 delivers on the graphical front, and in its diversity and improvements in gameplay customisation and mechanics, it certainly does not on the story, it fails to give its respective fans and and it's universe a place where things really feel grounded, and does not deliver satisfying in-game objectives or a narrative that is enjoyable and understandable, if its goal was to try and get me to stop playing, then it fulfilled its purpose, because I wasn't impressed or pleased, bearing in mind I tried to keep an open mind to all of the narrative decisions, god forbid you have a good story in a quite literally story-driven game. A lot of the choices seem to be made for the purpose of creating conflict and trying to get an emotional rise out of the player in order to emphasise it's message of "revenge", but only falls head first on itself. It doesn't respect it's established universe, and doesn't care what the previous game had put in place, and it doesn't give itself time to develop, it feels like it ends before it has time to even begin. Therefore, it neither shows respect for its viewers nor characters, which I think is an understatement considering the events that take place in this game. I won't be listing any spoilers or any other reasons as to why that's the case, but I'm afraid I really cannot recommend this game. It's not just disappointing, or angering, it's honestly just sad, and not because it just didn't go how some had imagined or wanted, but because I don't think the people behind the game itself even knew what they wanted, or were even trying to communicate or accomplish with this game, it remains a mess through and through. If you're playing the game for gameplay and mechanics, then I certainly can recognise the improvements and recommend those specific parts, the same goes for graphics too as mentioned in the beginning of this, but story, is and will remain in its same awful and poorly written state, and I do not recommend it for those looking to get the deserved sequel of The Last of Us 2.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How do you take one of the most revolutionary, emotionally complex, deeply affecting video game concepts of all time and turn it into 30 hours of revenge porn? What brain dead moron green lit this script? It is just awful. The only high points are the fleeting moments you get to spend with Ellie and Joel. Their character chemistry is still top notch, but there’s sadly precious little of it. The rest of the game is filled with uninteresting, one dimensional characters whose motivations and relationships with each other make absolutely no sense. Oh, and one of the most forced, awkward sex scenes I’ve ever witnessed. The game mechanics, graphics, sound design, voice acting, etc., are all excellent. But Naughty Dog already set the bar for all of that in the first one. All they had to do here was meet it again (and I think they actually surpassed it in a lot of ways). But at the end of the day, a game like this is about the story and the characters, and TLOU2 falls well short in that regard. Where Joel’s story in the original was one of redemption, Ellie’s story here is basically “we’re going to kill the best character in the game almost immediately, then make you spend half the game playing as the psycho that beat him to death, and THEN, we’re gonna make you let her go and take everything from you, including your one remaining connection to him (guitar). Because f*** you, that’s why.”

    As a sequel, this game just felt unnecessary. I’d have much rather they just left the original stand alone. It was a masterpiece in every sense. Part II added nothing for me, and I think ultimately only tarnishes one of the most lauded franchises in video game history.    … Expand

    Joel is killed brutally. Someone people spent much of the first game building an attachment with. I believe it’s because Naughty Dog doesn’t think games should have straight white males anymore. You play the second half of the game as his killer. How ND thought this was a good idea eludes me. Abby (the killer) is not a likeable person. People want to play more Ellie instead they have to play as someone they hate. The story is all about revenge being bad, yet Abby gets hers and walks away while Ellie loses everything. The game doesn’t give you the choice to kill Abby as Ellie. Robbing you of what you want to do because god forbid Neil Druckmans leftist masterpiece character Abby dies.    … Expand

    The Last of Us was built on a strong story, very well told, with a sensational script, which made a deep connection between the player and the characters. At The Last of Us 2 there is simply no logic in the events, it seems that there is no script, and they simply ended the narrative to defend a political / social agenda. As a fan it hurts me to say that, but they ended up with The Last of Us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Neil Druckmann just made a $60 SJW propaganda instead of the game we waited for 7 years. Don't get me wrong, I'm not furious about the game containing characters with various races and sexual orientations. I have absolutely no problem with that. However, I'm furious for TLOU 2's inconsistently breaking all the characters' personalities in order to make a point, characters' motivations that don't add up in order to make a point, and throw away/killing characters with no sensible explanation IN ORDER TO MAKE A **** POINT. For what? so that Mr. Druckmann could enlighten us about 'how video games should treat their female characters'.

    If these aspects of the game was advertised clearly from the trailers, I would have not be so angry at least, because if that was the case, I would not have bought it in the first place. Instead, Naughty Dog released a trailer deliberately deceiving customer as if the TLOU 2 is all about Joel and Ellie's story. But the reality is far harsh. Joel dies in the beginning of the game and you are forced to play as the killer Abby half of the game as if the game was forcefully educate players "See? Abby is not so bad. Joel was the bad guy in her eyes" and this take was done in very poorly paced manner.

    This piece of abomination made people realize the fact that the success of previous TLOU was accomplished by collective efforts from talented staffs once Naughty Dog had. Namely, Bruce Straley.

    Don’t buy this propaganda and don’t trust 10/10 user reviews for they are bought by Sony. ND and Sony seem very desperate. Why? because they know the game is so **** up.    … Expand
