    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lame story, stereotyped drama and full of cliches. As for the TLOU franchise, the hype is over the top, but the result sucks. And to think workers at naughty dog have been exploited for making this game in time. Awful Expand

    Completely undid the first game that was a massive success. Forced character narratives, very slow slog of a game. Characters act against their normal method of operation for stupid reasons to drive plot.

    Painful cringe experience.

    There's some stuff in here that's never been in a video game before. It may not be able to be stomached by most.

    Loved the graphics. Loved the little cameos, Joel the main character from the 1st game had. Loved the museum Part.
    Apart from that This game is an absolute hot garbage ruining Everything we loved about the 1st game. And, the narcissism of the game director to make a character about him and even CARDS yikes!!!!
    Ending the game on a simple "YEP". This is gonna be a nightmare to everyone

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. During your game, you are going to be very annoyed and your game is facing a lot of problems that there was no reason for such a thing to happen and the game could have formed a beautiful story and such things would not have happened. This game is aimed at your heart so that you can endure a lot of suffering and hate it at the end of the game. This game made me wait for seven years for it to end badly.
    In this game, we see the death of people whose lives end really badly, and the story has a special dichotomy that doesn't allow us to continue the game the way we want it to, and it forces us to continue the game on a person who has no interest in anything. We don't have it and we can't find an understanding of that character during the game, and he has a low characterization that we can't compare that character one percent with the two favorite characters in this series.

    Great graphics, beautifully crafted environments, solid gameplay like the first. But the story is just awful. What I know of the story ruins it. Everything and every one that was made good in the first game is completely destroyed in this one for a character that has little to do with anything really and is entirely unlikeable or relatable.

    Insignificant story full of insignificant violence in an insignificant and stupid way with an insignificant ending.

    The characters do not behave at all as in the previous part.

    Whoever wrote this story must never played the first part.

    Sad, really sad to spoil such a technically great game. Ratings are also unnecessarily high from the official websites.

    The worst story ever, in any medium. The Room has a better plot than this. A betrayal to fans and the art of storytelling. It sadly casts a shadow on the game's technical marvels and makes you unable to enjoy them on their own.

    Why I didn't just burn these 60$.......the story was just terrible. I don't care about the "agenda" or the LGBTQ characters. The story and characters are contrived. Especially Joel and Ellie did everything to fit into the games story, they didn't behave like they would in TLOU 1. I could have written more but I really am exhausted mentally after playing this game for 14 hours straight.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is visually and graphically stunning. The gameplay is serviceable at best. However with a game like this, the story is the most important part to me. In The Last of Us 2 the story is a disaster and is completely disrespectful to its predecessor. The plot is riddled with plot holes and contrivance. The ending is extremely unsatisfying as it attempts to preach a message about revenge instead of giving the player what they want. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just Finished The Game So,
    this game is like watching avengers endgame, but just imagine this..
    thanos wiped-out 50% of all living creatures, and he murdered all the avengers in a very horrible way except for thor & thor was watching thanos when he killed all of his friends, so thor goes out for revenge kills everyone standing in his way & finally gets the chance to revenge, but changes his mind at the very last second for wtv reason..
    doesn't make any sense right?
    okay, let's just imagine this..
    you play god of war 3, you play as kratos & the whole game is mainly about you trying to kill zeus, but after playing for hours killing gods & killing all these monsters just to reach zeus, & finally you reach him, you change your mind & you decide it's not worth it..
    this is some bs right?
    they are trying so hard to justify what abby did and show you that she is not a bad person, so they force you to play as her to see her point of view to all of this.
    imo.. making the vaccine should've been ellie's choice but since she was drugged, it was joel's choice, he is the one who traveled half across the country with her, he is the one who protected her & they bonded together, he was like a father to her.
    it wasn't marlene's choice, and sure as hell it wasn't Jerry's *The doc* choice either so both of them can go die or wtv.
    what he did was kinda justified because he was just protecting his "daughter" the only person who cares about in this world & when this doc tried to stop him, joel had no choice but to shoot him.
    so joel is on the right side here not this stupid doc or his daughter.
    on top of that, joel saved abby's life and she kills him anyways & at the ending if it wasn't for ellie, abby would have died there bec she was tied up, basically joel and ellie saved her abby's life TWICE like wtf
    other things that i didn't like is..
    almost none of these new characters had a backstory which is just stupid lol *except for abby ofc haha"
    i don't like how they won't lot you choose or do anything, you just keep playing until you reach this stupid ending, like if it was up to me to choose i'd have stayed at the farm & that's almost good ending to me..
    i also don't like how they edited the storyline idk that for sure but "Official Story Trailer" looked different from the final game so yeah..
    i also think that naughty dog is one of the best studios out there, but i don't think i'm going to trust them or buy any games from this studio anymore until they kick "neil druckmann" out & i'm pretty much done with pre-ordering games.

    my rating to this game would be

    Graphics 8/10
    Locations 5/10
    Story 1/10
    Characters 3/10
    Gameplay 9/10

    this game takes about 25 hours to finish it, half of them are wasted because of "locked doors" and trying to find a way in, fighting infected, & trying to find materials, it can be really boring.

    i just finished the game so i'm sorry for any grammar mistakes, english isn't my first langauge so yeah..
    i'm still processing this stupid sad ending can't believe i've waited 4 years for this bs..

    The first game wasn’t groundbreaking in its gameplay, we’ve all played that game before in tomb raider, uncharted or dying light... it was the story and the evolving relationship between Joel and Ellie that made an impact. This sequel pulls sharply away from anything that made the first game stand out.
    In 30 years of gaming experience this is the biggest disappointment I can remember ever

Despite the forced political agenda, the writing and handling of the characters is laughable. Killing off one of the main characters from the first game in the first two hours without concrete justification is lazy writing. Neil will never listen to the negative reviews because he thinks to himself "These bigoted sandwiches just don't understand my game" Mainstream liberal games media will review this game with high praise but start to think for yourself. Do not buy this game. It only helps Niels huge emasculated head grow into What it is today. Expand

It seems like it's filled with shock value, and the story was written just to "subvert expectations". There is no need for the type of violence in the game (it seems like a snuff film or something, the violence adds nothing). The characterization of characters was off. Some characters are just unlikeable in this game. The ending was horrible. This game was extremely unsatisfying and after waiting 7 years for this, I do not say that lightly.

In the first two hours the game basically destroys everything was established in the first The Last of Us, and from there it's only getting worse.

    The original The Last of Us had a deep story and interesting characters, in this part 2 we have the opposite, while keeping the gameplay and combat system (that's why I give it 1 point), there are no more great storyline or compelling characters, just a meaningless cycle of revenge that does not even culminate successfully.

    Conclusion: If you loved the first game, you should never considering to play this one, because it will ruin all your expectations. If you just play it as an action or adventure game without caring about the story then it's not that bad, but still it's not a big deal, and it certainly doesn't worth 60$.

    Graphics, facial expressions and gameplay are on point. The story is very weak, the narrative is bad and revolting. The characters are poorly developed and overall meaningless and expandable.

    The story is so disgusting and pathetic, it makes the game literally unplayable. Thank you, ND for destroying this magnificent franchise.

    Bad conflict resolution, no emotion generated, impossible to empathize with any new characters, horrible ending and final boss fighting, it seems that the final message of the game is about holding grudges and planning revenge.
    Good graphics, good gameplay, but it doesn't contribute much compared to the first one, however, the bad story of this game really left me behind for recommending

Is it nostalgia from the original’s cult following?

When you shove Ellie's sexuality in everyone's face it's obviously for an agenda, and killing a well established and loved character in such a disrespectful way is just insulting to us consumers. Saying that these reviews are irrelevant because we are "close minded" is a shallow attempt to silence the truth. But hey, at least the graphics are good, it's diverse, and it's got good IGN reviews, I guess that's what really matters. Expand

    Disappointing followed with inconsistencies, disrespect, a general lack of logic and decision making, despite the possibility
    of actually making sensible, and realistic decisions (that is basically non-existence in the entire game) that can make the game an actually interesting journey with new and returning characters, but instead, it's mostly dry garbage shoved to your face forcefully.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have n e v e r been so hyped for a game release ever. It held a lot of weight because it was one of the first games I played on PlayStation 3. The characters meant everything to me, the story was amazing. What I didn’t know was that I could get **** emotionally w r e c k e d by playing through about an hour and a half to two hours before I finally realized what this was going to be about. Joel dying, yeah I expect it but I expected it to be at the end of the game or the middle not that early on. At this point I’m like oh god I know where this is going. I was going to press on but I knew if I didn’t read the ending I wouldn’t be happy either way. To go from so high and to get so low was atrocious. Having to Go from excitement of a new game, to being like oh **** they did that but I kind of figured they would let’s just keep going to having to reading spoilers for something on the release day and then to get ran over and backed up on by the story only to realize it means nothing. I don’t even know if I can pick it up and play it again. I feel betrayed. I feel like I need a refund. I feel **** bad for the people forced to work on this piece of **** Who the hell thought this was going to be a good idea. If 2020 seemed like it was slowing down with its **** storm, no. Because this rolls right up there with corona. The only reason I even gave this game a 1 star was because I could hear the soothing sounds of Troy MF Daddy Baker, Even if only for a moment. Expand

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

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

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