    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me first say that I am happy there are more diverse characters .. The Issues with the game come from the fact that the story is not only bleak and depressing (imagine Alien 3) but the themes of revenge and the relativistic nature of good v evil are overdone ..

    The first game was good because it took a cliche story and made it special with the beautiful characters and their relationships ..

    The gameplay is basically the same and hasn’t really changed much .... This sequel is not good ..    … Expand

    Fairly simple story and misaligned with the plot of the first game, it just seems like they made the game with the legs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. from a technical point of view, the game looks very good
    graphics, physics, the work of designers, animators - beyond praise
    fights and skirmishes became more dynamic.
    What sways the plot: I'm absolutely not interested in Ellie's orientation, how the relationship between Joel and Ally has changed,
    can understand, the girl grew up, teenage nihilism, etc. But, why did you have to kill your favorite character? why am I being forced to play for a killer, I absolutely do not **** her life, her feelings and experiences, I am not physically pleased to play for this disgusting giant woman, it's the second day of the game for Abby and I don’t want to continue the game.

    Thanks to those people who worked on the game. screenwriters sucks    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was excited for Last of Us 2 since its announcement as i enjoyed the first one greatly. I played this game and i have never been let down so much in my life. This is all because of the poorly written story. All of the deaths felt rushed or dry and the ending of game had no pay off and just made you felt bad because you played the game.

    Abby had potential to be a good character but forcing you to play her after you just watched her kill a favourite character is awful. You get zero interaction between Joel and Ellie in the actual game as he is dead within the first hour of the game.

    The best scene in the game is actually a flashback that involves no combat or story progression with showing Ellie receiving a birthday gift of a tour of a dinosaur / space museum from Joel. This scene is what LOU2 should've been but it was tainted by poor writing and character deaths.

    The game makes you feel bad by making you hunt down and kill the people who killed Joel and then make you play as Abby to showcase the pain you've caused. But this doesn't matter as they don't bring these characters up ever again. Manny was one of Abby's best friends and he gets sniped by Tommy and killed, he is never mentioned ever again by Abby. It also pulls this pregnancy card by making you feel bad because you killed a pregnant girl, even though she resisted when you asked her to point on a map and attacked you.

    Jesse was a fun character who cracked multiple jokes at all times with a bright personality and was a good adition to the cast, but was wasted drastically as he had like 6 scenes in the game and is killed off because he ran through a door and shot dead instantly. He is then forgotten like he never existed and only ever mentioned once again after him dying like 40% through the story on a **** piece of paper which is just focused on Dina.

    Dina was a good character which also was ruined by being placed in the back. She comes with you to hunt down Abby but mentions she is pregnant and is told to stay still in the Theatre and uses a radio to track down Abby via her friends. It makes sense to stay put but just sleeps after that and gets no screen time until later on where She and Ellie in a generic "Happy Ever After" scene where they get their own farmland and house with a great view away from all of the evils and society. But she just ditches Ellie when she goes back to hunt down and finish abby.

    Then Issac the leader of the Wolfs just dies, accomplishing nothing to the story other than to make it understandable how the Wolfs lost the attack to the scars because they had no leader. The two scars where okay characters but where ruined by little screen time they show up late into the story and get a good story arc by saving abby from other scars, then its ruined by the child scar getting upset and running back home to his mom, despite running away from him cause he mom tried to kill him.

    The last scenes shows another group which uses others as slaves by pretending to be Fireflies. Abby and Lev are caught and forced into slavery for 2 months. Ellie hunts them down to this area and attacks the compound to hunt down and kill Abby. She finds her but she is very skinny and basically on the brink of death to make you feel bad for Abby and then they fight each other with Abby restraining from fighting but being forced to by Ellie. Ellie then wins the fight and is about to kill Abby and decides not to because Revenge is bad, then lets her go and loses two fingers in the fight and heads back home to find Dina has left her and She can't play guitar anymore.

    The combat was ok. It was good but certain set pieces are poorly balanced on the Hardest Difficulty. Such as the area where you must wait for Lev took rescues from a horde which attacks in you in a locked room before they bust down a ambulance window. If you are low on supplies this room gives you little to none to survive which makes it impossible and can be a soft-lock. Later combat sections are just large open fields with large amount of patrolling enemies which drop the FPS drastically and force you to kill to proceed but on the Hardest Difficulty this is frustrating because you can't aim precisely against large groups of enemies with a PS4 controller.

    To put this shortly. This game feels like everybody worked their butt off to produce an amazing game but they were forced to follow bad directions from poor story telling by N. Druckman. This game does everything but the story really well and since this game is all about the emotional story which was what made the LOU1 a masterpiece. It kills the game and makes it a chore to play with no pay off.

    The story was just terrible, was i supposed to feel bad for abby for the ten minutes she was a child. For one thing i did not like when she killed joel in the most coward way of killing him like seriously people save you and you shoot him in the knee.

People need to understand that Joel oiled a lot of people and what he did was wrong. Everyone knew that! Actions have repercussions. I love Joel so much but that’s what happens. But overall the storyline is amazing!!! Hopefully there’s gonna he a second one!… Expand

    I don’t have enough time or energy to explain how devastating this abomination of a sequel is. I am not a hateful person and I hold TLOU so close to my heart. What creators/writers have done to these characters, the one’s that meant something, is borderline unforgivable.

    I am, in this particular case, grateful for those leaks and the automatic cancellation of my preorder.

    There are so many bad and incoherent things and moments in this sequel. From the awful writing and beyond. There are some moments in this game that give me a heartbreaking glimpse at what could have been.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything Naughty Dog built up in the first game was thrown away in the 2nd. Joel dies at the beginning without us even playing as him once. Missed opportunity but I got over it. We play as a character we have no emotional attachment to as well nor care for. The revenge story begins...I can deal with it. We then get what felt like a symbol female empowerment with the lesbian scenes and muscular female character. I can deal with it. We then are reminded of what Tommy is doing for revenge yet never get the opportunity to play as him. Another missed opportunity. Dina announces she's pregnant. How does this affect the story? Why even add this part? Nonetheless, the first half of the game was bearable. The 2nd half of the game is a different story. We are forced to again play as the character we do not care for. There is nothing the developers can do for us to sympathize for Abbie yet they force her story on us anyways. Jessie dies in an instant. Why even have scenes of him if he goes out like that? The least the writers could have done was instead of being fatally shot, have him hurt enough to fall to the ground and tell Ellie to tell Dina that he's sorry he can't be there for Dina since he knew she was pregnant before Abbie finishing him off with a gun to the head. But no, he is taken out with a snap of a finger. Tommy goes out the same way presumably. Again, we are forced to play the character for most of the game we do not care nor are emotionally invested it. After wasted hours playing as her, still do not care. It was during this point I just wanted to stop playing this garbage. She lets Ellie live AGAIN. Fast forward, we find out Tommy is alive. That was literally the only positive about the 2nd half of the game but now he's disabled with a missing eyes and a limp resulting in most likely no future in a potential 3rd game (I don't want one after this mess). Do we really want revenge after this? We were put through being forced to play a character I don't care for and lets Ellie live TWICE already. If the developers just had to FORCE the story, give us the option between choosing Abbie's story and Ellie's and I guarantee you, it would be unanimous that players choose Ellie and only choose Abbie because they're curious, not because they care for her character in any way, shape, or form. Awful game and it's generous I'm giving this game a 3 out of 10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us part 2. oh god, alright. story wise, trash. everything else (graphics, gameplay, sound, voice acting, ect) amazing. hense the 2. for me, the reason i enjoyed part 1 was because of its increable story, compelling plot, and characters. having a dude who lost his daughter, through horrible eevnts, almost lose a second one was compelling, and felt human. on the contrary, we have a angsty revenge story. not to mention the fact they killed the best character of the game, joel, just like that. abby seemed like such a interesting villain, with her backstory and all. but it was ruined by the writting trying to make us think she was right to kill joel, just completly contradicting what the first game had worked so hard to do. thats bad writting. also why in the heck would joel trust a random girl he just met? he spent the first game not trusting anyone, and that was why his bond with ellie was so special, thats why saving her was so special. cons over, on to the pros.

    1. the game play
    the fight scenes, and npc's felt more real
    2. the graphics
    i mean this one is a given 3. sound
    jeezous the music, amazing. i could listen to the osts forever
    4. voice acting
    this is where i have to give major props. i mean just listen to the running moan in agony, it sounds like they are in real pain. ashley mever disapoints, hearing ellie scream as she watched joel be murdered in front of her hurt me on a level i didnt think a game could.
    5. the monsters
    oh my god the monsters. i still cant get over the part at the begining where ellie fell through the ceiling and ellie almost got eaten by a clicker (then the clicker was shot by dina but no one cares about dina) 6. graphics
    imma say it again. this game made me forget this wanst live action. every little detail was amazing. i am not at all hating on this game, i actually enjoyed a lot of the scenes, (mostly the flash backs with joel, sorry but ellie and joel are just too cute together)

    in conclusion 2/10. sorry but story is very important to me    … Expand

Naughty Dog horribly messed up this game, and adding on the way that they horribly handled the leaks by filing false & downright illegal copyright claims on anybody they could, this game is just a massive failure and let down. Had the writers at Naughty Dog had a bit more common sense and had they actually used sound story design techniques rather than using some cliche revenge story which has been done a hundred times over, this game would have been in contention for one of the best video games of all time. All that being said the gameplay is what you’d expect from TLOU. I’m not sure what all these “professional critics” were talking about when they said that Naughty Dog had “evolved the gameplay from the first game” as it’s almost a carbon copy from the 2013 original. Many hours of the game can be summed up as a “walking simulator” where the game simply tells you to follow someone or tells you to go from point A to point B constantly with no real gameplay. This honestly could have been better as a movie rather than a game. That being said, the graphics are stunning and the visuals and atmosphere are downright gorgeous. The game is well optimized and runs smoothly with minimal bugs and glitches. The game does a good job of putting you into the world and making you feel like you’re really in the game. Sadly I can’t give this game a high or even average rating. TLOU2 hinges heavily on having a good story to make up for the lackluster and extremely linear gameplay. However it’s really hard for a game in 2020 to be considered good or even great with dated gameplay that almost completely mimics it’s 2013 predecessor, when the whole story, is just one massive, uninteresting revenge story. Had this game had a far more compelling storyline with good character development and at least decent characters, it could have been at least a “good” game.… Expand

As much as I would have wanted to go in the game open-minded, it wasn't easy, as moments in the story are so confusing and irritating that it is too distracting. As a fan of the original, I knew that someone important was going to die, but to kill them off at the start before we get to experience in this new game, it is more than disappointing. This game gets some things right and some wrong. The first good thing about this game is the visuals and the scenery. The environments look real, the facial animations look incredible, the animations, in general, look amazing. This game took a first good step in the next generation but that's about it. The narrative of this game is close to pointless. In the first half of the game, you get to play as Ellie, where you are introduced to the mechanics and the characters. You make your way to Seattle to try to find Abby, the other "protagonist" of the story to seek revenge, as she did for her father. You end up killing all her friends, who had a pretty insignificant impact to the story and the game and then you transition to the second half of the story, where you get to play as Abby. In the second half of the game, you are given another perspective to the story, from Abby's point of view. You get to see the characters from flashbacks that are shown previously to all the events that occur in the 1st half of the game. All characters in this game are thrown in the game for some sort of companionship more so than the relationship that you got in the first game. People come in the game and die not that long after with no real emotion from the character that you play. Two characters which I think that Naughty Dog got somewhat right is Yara and Lev, the two scars which are being hunted down from their own cult for breaking the laws. Unlike most of the other characters, you are given some backstory from both of them as you progress through the game which is welcoming at first, but just like everyone else in the game they don't last, so Yara is killed eventually in a horrific way. As you enter the final hours of the game, you kind of think to yourself was this even worth it. Close to finishing the game, you play as Ellie hunting down Abby for what she did as she still has those awful nightmares relating to Joel's death. Just before you get to kill Abby on that beach, Ellie changes her mind and tells Abby to leave. You then go back to the house which you lived in after Day 3 in Seattle and you reminiscence of the events that occurred before Joel's death. You end up on a note which is quite awkward and pointless. You just played 25 hours of a game which constantly spat at your face for the sake of violence. Violence wasn't a thing which bothered me, but it happened way too often for some sort of emotional impact. The characters in this game came in and left pretty quickly. The story is nothing like the first, where you spent time with the main cast and grown to love them pretty quickly. A sequel wasn't necessary but if it would have happened, people would be happy and excited as they got to spend more time with the main characters. This game is nothing but disappointing throughout the 25 hours which you get to play, with gameplay same to the first's which isn't something terrible but would have expected something fresh and new to the formula. If I was to rate this game based on its technical and visual aspects, it would get a 10 for graphics and visuals and 5 for gameplay. I think the game had many things going for it, and I understand if they couldn't top the original but a better and effort would have been appreciated. A lot of people who hate on this game are usually criticised for being either a homophobe or sexist for the pure fact that you ain't focusing on Joel, and I think that isn't the problem here. The fact that the characters you are spending time with are so emotionless and have no real character development from the start to the end of the story is really why people don't like this game.… Expand

    I would give 11/10 if possible. Perfect game on every aspect and probably the best story in videogames history.
    Absolutely disgraceful seeing a 3.8 of the metacritic users, I honestly don't understand what's supposed to prove.

    Lo pasé hace 4 días y hace 3 lo comencé a jugar de nuevo, me tomo estos 3 días entender bien la historia y ser objetivo con el personaje de Abby, ahora pienso que para un mundo post apocalíptico la historia es genial, triste, pero genial. No todo va a salir siempre y nadie se saldrá con la suya en un mundo sin ley

    I bought this game without hearing any of the rumors that were floating around apparently. Started playing and just got tired of being beat over the head with the wokeness. After hours of being wokedified it tries to have a story only to destroy key aspects of past characters. 3 hours in I just quit. Anyone wanna buy it real cheap. No, for real. Like Anthem cheap.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wanted to like this game, I wanted to like it as much as the first one but it is SO bad.
    The graphics look good and the combat is still nice but that's it, that's the good point. Ellie and Dina are cute too.
    The story is a joke. They spit on the face of every fan of the first game. Joel's death is whack. He wouldn't say his name to strangers like that when he knows some people out there want him dead. Abby is a **** character as in she is badly written. The game is a big boring walking simulator for the most part. They make you play as Abby way too much especially after she kills Joel which is dumb since you don't want to play as her and when you face Ellie you just want to die. The ending is absolute **** Joel basically died for no reason and Abby gets to walk free and Ellie is all alone in the end. I'm giving it a 1 instead of the 4 I originally intended to give because no game as ever made me this angry for all the wrong reasons.    … Expand

    Can absolutely understand why the narrative bothers a lot of people but for me, I enjoyed it for challenging me in a way never done by any game other than maybe Red Dead II. Combat encounters are fun and engaging and the graphics are just absolutely stunning, some of the best in gaming today (although Ghost of Tsushima’s environments are giving it a run for its money). GOTY so far!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite all the review bombing (on both sides, positive and negative), I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and give my honest review. I try to keep it vague, but I couldn't keep it 100% spoiler-free.

    If you think this game deserves anything close to a 9 or 10, but have not yet beaten it, you really need to do that first. The first half of the game is incredible, but it takes a nosedive after Seattle Day 3. You'll know exactly what I mean when/if you get there. If you have gone through it all and still think it's a masterpiece, then that's great. Congrats on having your perfect sequel, and for being part of the 3% of players that have the "completed the game" trophy. Anyway, onto my review.

    Throughout the first half of the game, Ellie is hunting certain named NPCs. You either find them dead or kill them yourself, all in pursuit of a High Value Target. There are some incredible parts here. For example, Seattle Day 1 has an incredible free-roam section, and there are flashbacks to Joel and Ellie that really make you see where the 10/10s come from.

    The second half, though, tries to humanize those already-dead named NPCs via an obscene amount of flashbacks. It tries to make you feel bad that they're now dead, whether it was by your hands or not. This falls flat, though, because not only are they 6 hours too late to try to get you to feel for these people, but the reasons you're hunting them in the first place are very good ones, that most players will agree with.

    In the end, the High Value Target gets to walk away, because the game assumes by now that you feel bad for doing what you did. It doesn't matter that you were *forced* to do it by the game, it's your fault.

    If this was any other game, it'd be maybe a 7 or 8, but it's The Last of Us Part II. They completely **** over beloved characters to make this mediocre plot with a cliche message happen.

    The gameplay is fun, the character-on-character dialogue is great, the graphics look great, the RPG mechanics are well-fleshed-out, but the overall plot is so unforgivably bad to me that it kills the whole game, because the reason I consider The Last of Us to be one of the best games of all time is due to it's plot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally really enjoyed this game, the animation, voice acting etc.. . I’m going to start with my negative of the game, this being the amount of time you play as Abby, I love what they did and thought this was a great concept but I felt it dragged on for a bit to long, the flashbacks were great revealing why she killed Joel, her battle against the terrifying Rat king was one if not the best boss fights across the two games, the decent down the skyscraper was sick and the fight vs Ellie was really cool as it allowed us to see our own tactics used against us, everything else I felt could have been shortened or scrapped if that meant the loss of the decent down the skyscraper part I would be perfectly happy to see that go if it meant I finished playing as Abby sooner. But other then that I really enjoyed the game and would highly recommend it to someone who enjoys a good story game. I think my favorite parts of the game were 1. Ellie and Joel flashback scenes I don’t even need to explain why i loved these scenes 2. Ellie and Joel’s final conversation the day before Joel’s death, this was beautiful as it shows Ellie’s strength as she begins to learn how to forgive Joel, this I think was one of my favorite scenes as it brought up all my emotions from playing the game. 3. The uniqueness of the entire game, I have Played the first game which was unreal although both are similar in play styles this story is very unique and something I am willing to get behind.

That said, this sequel gets easier to play once you accept that unlike the first game this story is not about Joel and Ellie, but rather about how violence and revenge affects the people living in this post-apocalyptic world. I loved the difficulty. I played on survivor and it is challenging but rewarding. survivor difficulty is in my opinion the best way to play the game. I also loved the gameplay (fights are long, brutal, and satisfying), the sound, the soundtrack (especially the new use of synths during the fight scenarios), and the graphics. However, at the end of the day this game is story focused. For me, the story feels wrong and I wasn't sure how to feel about it until I finished the game. I respect Naughty Dog for what they tried to achieve and even though you feel some of the moments in the end I don't think they were able to do the same with the main characters. There are still some beautiful story moments involving Ellie and Joel reminiscent of the first game but the bad storytelling stuff is just extremely hard to ignore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the last of us 2 has amazing graphics it fails to tell a great story. I did pre order this game and I ended up getting this game a day before it was released in the mail. My excitement was short lived. It was an extremely disappointing experience after finishing the game. It was hard to even on after the first 2 hours of playing. It's a far cry from the first game. The first game was not only visually stimulating but also gameplay was amazing and you fell in love with the story. There was so much development with the characters Ellie and Joel. It told a story that you invest yourself into. The last of us 2 did nothing of the sort. The character building was sadly missing. Where you thought that you would be able to play both characters that you so loved from the first one we were all sadly scammed. That's right, I said scammed into thinking we would get to explore Joel and Elle's relationship as they got older together. What they did to Joel was Savage. We all know that main characters die all the time but normally not in such an unsatisfactory way. It was like a f-you Joel you deserve an ugly death. It wasn't the fact that he died but the fact of how they did it. Abby's an extremely unlikable character. The game fails in making her relatable or likable. It forces you to play her after she has already clearly been designated as the villain in this story. It was basically torture having a play Abby through half of the game. You think eventually that she'll have some redeeming quality but it never happens.This game could have been amazing, it could have been great, it could have been epic but now it's just an epic fail. Granted if you hadn't had played the first game and grown to love Joel and Elle and how they are together, this one wouldn't be that bad of a game. It's still not that good of a standalone game though. I waited for this game for a long time and it was definitely disappointing. If I could get my money back I would. Naughty Dog has definitely betrayed their fans.… Expand

Gameplay is mostly the same with some minor and arbitrary differences. The story is substantially worse, the writing is exceptionally more mundane and cliche than the first. The overarching theme being "revenge bad". That could have worked if it built the characters up at all, but mostly the new cast is either forgettable or so poorly written that you just don't care about them. As for the visuals, they were fantastic. I will give the game that it has some of the best visuals and ambiance I've seen in years. It was disappointing as I really wanted to like the game, especially considering how much I enjoyed the first game. Otherwise the plot and pacing is erratic. There are numerous flashbacks throughout the game that although they are quite enjoyable would have been much better placed in different parts of the game. I would explain more, but I'm trying to keep this review spoiler free. I think its ridiculous that anyone is saying the game is bad simply because Ellie is in a relationship with Dina. There's no reason that should detract from the game or story. Although I will say that Dina's character was quite boring in my opinion, like many other characters from the game. It seems like they could have done a lot more with many of the characters, main and supporting. They just simply didn't play a large enough role in the plot or really express themselves much. Especially considering that Naughty Dog has shown they know how to write good characters and character development in prior games. All in all it is a lackluster game when compared to The Last of Us 1. If we are not comparing the two at all, although it would still be lackluster it is not really a bad game. It's just much worse in comparison to its predecessor. I did like some new parts of the gameplay such as the increase in skills able to unlock with medicine and some of the new ways to use terrain. However, neither really adds that much to the game. Realistically I would rate the game a 2.5. It's an alright game, but again it is just to lacking in comparison to the first game. Regardless, I still think Naughty Dog makes good games, I just feel like they severely missed the mark on this one. Worse being that it was on such a beloved IP.… Expand

    This game is slow to start and the controls are not that fluid. And I feel if an agenda wants to be pushed politically or personally. It shouldn't be done in a video game. To have certain things the way they are is just a point. Good for you naughty dog. I know I'm only one person but I won't buy another game made by your company.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has nice graphics and good animations. I also liked Joel and Ellie parts of the game. Other than that its hard to find anything good about the game. Story is simple and quite boring to be honest. Characters are boring and most of them are not developed enough to care about. Joels death didnt make justice for him at all and 10hour side plot with Abby was pain to get through. I just wanted to game to end. Overall very disappointing game.… Expand

    Please just play through it. I promise, if you can go in with an OPEN MIND, you will understand what the game is about. Anyone who already has decided what to think will be disappointed.

    Not as great as the first game in terms of story, although gameplay and graphics are better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said. This game is BEAUTIFUL it is a freaking masterpiece design-wise. Gameplay is also just improved in every way from the first game. Literally can't emphasize that enough! If all you care about is gameplay and graphics BUY THIS GAME! Hell I'd even say rent it if possible. I unfortunately do love story and will honestly play very bad games if the story is interesting enough to me. Story matters more to me than gameplay and especially now more than ever. I want a world that can take my mind off of our horrible world we live in. This game succeeds in that regard for the first half of the game, then you are violently pulled out of this immersive world shoved against a wall and beaten and told to love and sympathize with a character you hate. Not only that but you get to spend the next 10-15 hours playing as her. This is where the game is ruined for me I can't stress enough how awful the game gets after the first half.

    The best way I can describe this feeling I have is I feel the same way now as I did after watching star wars the last jedi(or after playing KH3). It feels like Naughty dog just wanted to SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS and that's all they cared about. They didnt wanna give us those powerful feelings from the first game they wanted to give us something divisive. They wanted us to argue over this game and be mixed about it. They lied to us in the trailer specifically to trick us. I know they wanted this because the sections of the game where ellie is with Joel (the birthday for example) are literally the best and most heartfelt moments. They made me feel like I was playing a master class of game but then they slam you back to the world of this game almost like a cruel tease. I'll be honest I'm sad Joel died I hated it, I honestly was one of the people who thought his choice at the end of the last of us was wrong and selfish and even figured he'd die because of it. I didnt want him to though....and definitely not the way he did. But again I actually support his death in some way he was kind of meant to die this game it made sense and the anger I felt was so real it gave me goosebumps and I knew I wanted to destroy all the people involved with it. But then ya don't you brutally beat one girl from the group to death (a minor character from the group I might add)and the rest of their death's are just self defense usually and it's over quickly. Then when you finally get to Abby and it's time to make that jerk pay....Abby kills your friend maims Tommy and kicks your ass.....BUT WAIT we get to go after her I shouldve known Ellie is a bad ass and is gonna make this ***** pay for everything we're gonna get the vengeance for Joel's death......oh wait no Ellie gets her fingers bitten off by Abby and then let's Abby go because she suddenly doesn't want revenge anymore......oh and Ellie can never play guitar again the one connection she still had with Joel, Abby took that too. Cool.....I guess....so Ellie loses everything and that's the story.....great but hey at least she sacrificed everything......and then.....still didn't get....vengeance.....yep.

    This series is now honestly dead to me I miss young Ellie and Joel's adventures. Maybe that's the point of this game is that's where it should've ended but because of Joel's actions he's caused Ellie (and us) and the world more suffering because he couldn't let go and just cherish the time he did spend with her. Idk but I guess I'm just disappointed with the game because I feel let down. If you disagree with me I'm happy for you and respect your opinion I wish you the best and hope you found this review helpful. Best of luck my friends    … Expand

    Great game. I have spent 3 days on TLOU2. I wanted finish this game to know how all ends and it the same time I wanted this game to never end. The end of the game leaves you with your thoughts and you just sit and think "What developers wanted to say?"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Druckman sits in his office that was built by The Last of Us, what he needs to realise is that the real creative force behind that game was Bruce Straley. Bruce is missing from part II and you can tell.

    The thing that is really making me butt hurt about the whole thing is the lies Naughty Dog and Druckman have told, in order to sell the game. Doing a model swap with characters to add Joel into the game even well after he's no longer in the game. Druckman even said in an interview that Ellie was DEFINITELY the only playable character.

    Which leads me to Abby, why? is my first question. What was the point of having to control her for over half the game. For myself and probably 90% of the fans out there, the last of us is Joel and Ellie. It never needed a sequel but if it was getting one it better be about those two is what everyone has said. I forced myself to play through the Abby bits as quick as I could, no collectibles, no upgrades to weapons or stats nothing as I wanted to get back to Ellie.
    The game has been touted as being about the circle of violence and revenge and how its bad. But Abby gets everything she wants in the game while Ellie......

    You know what I just can't do it anymore, if your looking to buy this game and you love the first one, please for the love of god, pretend this doesn't exist and theres only one game, go play the last of us remastered then imagine a sequel in your mind, it will be better than this tripe.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Like a lot of other people, I was absolutely hyped for this game only to be disappointed in the worst possible way. Not only did they kill Joel early in the game, but they also forced us to play Abby (his killer) for half the game and also forcing us to like this hated character with an absolutely retarded and meaningless backstory but also killing Jessie (an unimportant side-character), Tommy (He doesn't actually die but we think he does at first), badly wounding Dina (another side-character that has no meaning) and beating up Ellie in combat. After that Abby gets enslaved by a random slavers-trib, Ellie tracks her down, frees her first, then fighting against her in combat, almost drowning her (Ellie also looses 2 fingers) only to just let her go afterward. What the Game of Thrones Season 8 **** is this???.

    In the end Ellie ends up alone, unable to play guitar, and wanders off into the wilderness. I can't describe in words how utterly disappointed I am in a game that "could" have become one of the best games ever made. The only reason for the 3 points is the graphics (which are astonishing) and the gameplay which is fun but only as Ellie. (still feels like the same as from 2013).

    If you want to play a game that feels like the last of us, It's worth buying but if you came for the story. You'd be better off watching season 8 of Game of Thrones than with this ****    … 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]
