    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just embarrassing to look at.
    Imagine just relentlessly slaughtering hundreds of people and several dogs just to get to the person who killed the equivalent of your dad and stopping at them because you have an epiphany right after they literally bit your fingers off during the fight. Like, okay. Would never happen. If Ellie actually killed Abby it would have been an overall better story. Still bad, but better than what actually happened. And the ENTIRE TIME you're playing Abby, you just wanna go back to Ellie. You never, ever, ever care for Abby or friends. You can't. You just keep thinking about how she killed Joel. I dunno if they were ever expecting us to like Abby, or if we eventually were just supposed to, but it never happened for me. Not even close. I was so mentally checked out of her story halfway through. It was so boring.

    And even Ellie's story, I never really cared at all about Dina, and I straight up disliked Jesse. The best parts of the game were when Joel and Ellie were together again. And in my opinion, if those are the most enjoyable story parts, then there's a disconnect/failure with the game. Cause it means I'm still connected to/invested in the past. So much so that now that it's gone, I don't actually care about the present in the game.    … Expand

    -If I were just rating it on graphics, ambiance, and music it would be perfect.
    -Gameplay is pretty much the same as the first which is fine, kinda frustrating at some points but
    overall a still good play through.
    -Were it face plants is in the narrative, characters, and plot.
    -I expected this game to be about Ellie, it would have been disappointing if it wasn't. I'm not "triggered " because she's gay. I've been rockin' gay female Shepard since Mass Effect 1. Certain character deaths were kinda expected to move the story along (the hero arc formula).
    -It feels heavily padded out to introduce new characters that don't really seem to serve a purpose other than to kill time. I never came to identify or even like any of them. Forgettable comes to mind. Most of the character plots and arcs go nowhere leaving me just wondering "why were they even there?".
    -The game makes a point to make you feel bad. It ham-fists the "dichotomy of man" constantly. I felt like it was nagging me almost to the point were I almost quit playing.
    -Its dark and depressing. There's no sense of hope or optimism. The first game gave you a dark, surly, cynical main character that life took everything from, and over the story rebuilt him with a likable, sassy, lost child. This game says "Don't even bother trying to live. Life's just going to come and kick you in the d#$k anyway" style.
    -Some reviewers seem to want to give it a high score for what it tried to do, but other games have already done it and done it better.

    Felt hollow with just a political narrative. The gameplay felt smooth and improved but not the main focus. Story and character usually was. It mattered little to care for the beloved characters of prior just to focus on other characters' poor introductions and involvements.

So they killed Joel in the most humiliating way possible, killed every other character the player would care about, left us with no reason to continue playing the game but to avenge Joel but then we let the murderer walk away in the end just like that?

    The graphics and gameplay are amazing, however the story and it's execution are a disaster. The characters are inconsistent with the first part, there are plotholes and making us play as a character that we will never like is a horrible choice. They force a story that does not make sense. They can only save the franchise by starting the next part with ellie waking up from a bad dream.

    Graphic: One of the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen, the intention to details and the lighting everything is just perfect.

    Story: However this is where the game really suffers, Especially when it's a story based game, it is the core that makes the first game such a succes, it's just so bad from the incredibly weird plot holes, and questioneble decision that the characters make that really set so far away from their personalities from the first game, it's just like horror movies when the female character checks a dark room that makes weird noise with no protection whatsoever, it's just dumb.    … Expand

If anyone ever golfs Ellie, Joel would've killed every last one of them in the whole country. He would've become The Last Of Us. The fact that the story is so depressing to the point that leaves Ellie completely alone is beyond disturbing. Its almost a torture to play the game. I mean, there is nothing wrong making a game with a darker thematic, i say darker because it's actually quite gnarly and sick. I just feel sad for her and.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are a few main reasons people review bomb this game and call it a "terrible and horribly written mess"

    1. Joel is the Main character you play as and sympathize with throughout most of the first game. He gets killed in the very first 2 hours of the second game by a woman named Abby, whose father was killed by his hands in the Hospital near the end of the first game.

    2.The story makes little to no sense as Abby and Ellie make some very questionable life choices and by the end of the game both suffer and live a somewhat miserable life with no actual conclusion to the "revenge" plot.

    3.LGBQT+ is something no one really wants to see in their favourite games but we have all of it here. The worst part of the game is that it's way to violent to the point it shows both a pregnant woman get killed off and have a 13 year old kid beaten up and hung up on a pole left to die with his best friend Abby.

    4. Abby right... No one likes Abby we can agree on that note. I had little to no sympathy towards her after she killed Joel. She got her revenge of course but the fact the game forces you to play as her nearly half of the game is a disgrace. Almost kills every likable character in the story and by end of the game she gets aways with everything just because Ellie wasn't strong enough to avenge her friends and Joel. I'm sorry but I learned no life lessons from this Naughty Dog.

    Hope they make a DLC of some sorts otherwise this gets no actual positive feedback other than the fact that the game looks gorgeous and the gameplay itself is average at best.    … Expand

    After 10 years of waiting for the 2nd part I never thought they would manage to screw the story up. Gameplay is old and past its time. The grafics are nice but that's it. The story is stupid beyond belief. Characters are bland and boring. Not worth the price tag. Feels more like a walking simulation

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game could have been great, the visuals are amazing, the gamplay is ok and sadly that is where the praise ends, the Story is bad, the acting is wooden from Abby, Eli and Joel, everyone else is utterly forgettable.

    I was bored playing through this game and was surprised when I had to kill the main characters from the first game, the set up was bad, the implementation was bad and the payoff never came and if this was a cinematic movie (which it felt like sometimes) I would have walked out and asked for my money back. I also found some really strange moments come up in the game like the inserting of modern western political views without context, I do not care about the bickering of westerners when I play my games and felt it was out of place in this game that made the characters unlikable.

    All in all I would say the game is not worth buying simply due to the boring gameplay and the bad story, if you do buy this game and like it then that is fine, it is not for me though.

    in the off chance that Naughty Dog does read this please try to remember that your audience is not just western baizuo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Técnicamente es de lo mejor de la generación. Pero tener buenos gráficos siempre me ha parecido que no justifica ser un buen juego. TLOU destacó por ser un juego que nos cautivó con su historia donde en cada capítulo querías avanzar más para saber que iba a pasar y La historia es lo que te motivaba a seguir jugando y avanzando. Esto no pasa en TLOU2..... Si nos centramos en sus características jugables no dejaría de ser un Uncharted con otra ambientación... por lo que la historia es clave en esta saga... El problema no es que maten a Joel (es algo que se sabe/intuye desde el primer momento que anuncian esta segunda semana parte ¿que puede pasar tan fuerte como para ellie abandone una vida tranquila y empiece una guerra?) el problema tampoco es que hayan lesbianas como muchos colectivos quieren justificar para victimizarse (las personas que argumentan que ls criticas a este juego son porque ellie es lesbiana me parece que no han jugado al primero, solo por recordar en TLOU sacaron un dlc cuya historia te contaba que ellie es lesbiana...por lo tanto, ya se sabía que ellie es lesbiana y TLOU no recibió las criticas que esta recibiendo la parte 2 ahora).

    El problema real de este juego, es que a nivel de historia ha bajado de nivel muchísimo. No digo que la narrativa sea mala, pero la historia lo que pasa y como pasa está cogido por pinzas... las argumentaciones que dan para justificar lo que pasa son de película serie B y la manera de desarrollarlo y terminarlo no valen para nada. Al final tras terminar el videojuego, me viene a la cabeza una capitulo de the big bang theory en el que Amy le dice a Sheldon que la película no tiene sentido porque las acciones de indiana jones no afectan a la trama... pues esa sensación he tenido con esta segunda parte...
    En mi opinión la muerte de Joel era necesaria, pero no me ha parecido el mejor momento de hacerlo ni la mejor forma de hacerlo... Quizás el problema ha sido como lo han organizado, quizás una mejor forma de abordarlo hubiera sido empezar con abby buscando a joel, conociendo a los lobos y por último matando a Joel y ya empezar la parte de ellie. O haber tenido dos campañas separadas....Quizás hubiera sido mejor dejar dos finales y que te dieran la opción de vengarte o no y hubiera sido opción del jugador hacerlo.... no lo se no soy desarrollador de videojuegos, ni guionista, sólo soy un consumidor de videojuegos al que no le ha terminado de convencer esta segunda parte de uno de los mejores juegos que ha jugado...

    El caso es que me parece un gran error como lo han abordado, me parece un error que maten a joel en las 2 primeras horas del juego, te hagan emprender una guerra, en mitad de un momento crítico te cambien de personaje (a un personaje que estas odiando fuertemente en ese momento) y empiece toda una campaña política para hacer que sientas empatía por ese personaje... yo simplemente no puedo... no puedo sentir empatía por abby después de ver lo que ha hecho, si primero hubiéramos jugado con abby antes de saber lo que pasaba con joel quizás hubiera sido distinto... pero así no.

    Si nos vamos al gameplay la primera parte en esa zona abierta antes de llegar a seattle es maravillosa... es lo mejor que tiene el juego... a partir de ahi todo decae... el juego se convierte una repetición constante de conseguir recursos en zonas vacías, matar enemigos, fin fase...

    Tampoco creo que se merezca el hate que ha recibido el juego, ni mucho menos las amenazas a los trabajadores y actores del juego, pero si que me parece que han convertido lo que podría haber sido una gran saga en un juego del montón...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game dose have breath taking graphics and slightly upgraded game play but the story is absolutely unforgivable! It is worse than "The last jedi" and the "Game of thrones" final season. Yes it's that bad!!
    The much loved lead character from the first game Joel, gets killed by a extremely butch female named Abby who has a very narratively weak and petty reason as to why she commits said act. What makes it more confusing is that Abby kills Joel straight after Joel saved Abby's life. The narrative of this game was lazily written, full of plot holes, doesn't really make sense and has hours of boring drawn out filler to buff out this overly long 20 hour game. It is a revenge story with no revenge at the end of it. The ending is shockingly poor. The 2 main female characters (Ellie & Abby) are rebels without a cause committing heinous violent acts for no apparent reason other than self gratification. This game is basically 20 hours of mindless brutal killing. You are forced to play as Abby for 10 hours who is a new main character introduced in this game. She is empty and has nothing that anyone can really relate to unless you are a psychopathic killer that happens to be an extremely butch female steroid junky. Ellie the vulnerable innocent child from the first game is now the lead character as Joel is dead and has been transformed into an unstoppable all action super soldier. She is now a mindless killer who is out for revenge at any cost. Her sense of humour and vulnerability that defined her in the first game has completely been stripped away and we now have a basically brand new character unrecognisable from the first game. It is insane how over powered Elie and Abby are in this game. Swiftly dispatching men that are twice the size of them. This game is unbelievable and the plot is hard to keep up with.
    The only time I really enjoyed playing TLOU2 was during the flash backs but other than that it was a complete chore to play through. In my opinion this is one of the worst sequels ever in books, movies or games. It's definitely in my top 3. Avoid like the plague and save £60. Just pretend that this doesn't exist and go back and play the first game again. Thank me later.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason this game hasn't gotten a 0 from me is because of the graphics and design and gameplay which gets very repetitive (which is almost exactly similar to the first one). The plot ruins the entire game. Tbh, I knew that there was a high possibility Joel is gonna die. But the writers literally fecked his entire character to kill him in the most improbable way which is what ruined this for me. Don't think the ppl upset with this are just upset because a beloved char died. Most ppl aren't upset with the RDR series which have killed off loved chars as well. Joel in TLoU : "He ain't even hurt"
    Joel in TLoU 2 : Saves a person from zombies while running *away* from said zombies and goes to their base and says "I'm Joel, we live nearby" to a group of heavily armed strangers.

    They just changed his entire personality so that he could be killed at the start of the game for "shock factor".

    Not to mention the fact that this is a revenge story without any revenge. Ellie kills dozens if not hundreds of ppl to get to Abby and then spares Abby because ReVeNgE iS bAd. Basically a bs move to force bs philosophy down the players' throat. Don't even get me started on the fact that Neil inserted himself as a character in the game. And his character spit on Joel's dead body. Not only that, he had the most disgusting sex scene with Abby.

    Also, ND's backhanded schemes of misleading advertisements and their overall response has been pretty telling why this game was so disconnected from the fans. TL,DR: This game completely ruined the characters and character arcs from the previous game. Its a revenge story with no revenge. Its the equivalent of Game of Thrones S8. The creators don't seem to know the difference between "realistic" and just straight up torture/misery porn.    … Expand

Она настолько вдохновила меня, что я даже написала несколько фанфиков, хотя фанфики по играм я обычно не пишу. Это была потрясающая игра, лучшая в своем роды и Вы, уважаемые разработчики...просто слили ее в сраный унитаз. Да-да. Вы взяли свой многолетний труд, положили его на пол и насрали на него. Так что просто браво!
    Я никогда не ожидала, что можно быть настолько безмоглыми уродами и так ненавидеть свою аудиторию, которая блять деньги Вам платит! Вы харкнули в лицо каждому своему фанату! КАЖДОМУ! И Вам даже дело до этого нет, потому что нет и у Вас и мозгов!
    Сделать Джоэла, любимца миллионов, бесполезной тупой псиной и убить его как псину...это просто...я даже не буду писать, чего я Вам за это желаю.
    Я не люблю ЛГБТ и прочее, так что мне было неприятно смотреть и на лесбиянку Элли и на эту культуристку Эбби, но я решила потерпеть, ради новой истории моего любимого героя...НО ОБ БЛЯТЬ СДОХ КАК ПСИНА ЧЕРЕЗ ЧАС ПОСЛЕ НАЧАЛА ИГРЫ!

    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]
