It's the same as the first and in the sequel it's actually a chore and is boring and tedious. Level design is the only good thing about gameplay. A.I. is cheap too (some enemies are cool like the dogs). Honestly, if you think story is enough to overcome such backwards gameplay then why not put movies in the same category. They have such good story that you don't need any gameplay. The gameplay doesn't push the industry anywhere but back to the PS3 era. We have seen this gameplay before. There's nothing new and everything is very old.

    The story. Holy heck the story. Shock for the sake of shock has been done before. There's nothing new there. If you want to experience a repeat cycle of it then a montage of shock fanfics on the internet would do better. Trust me, you've never experienced anything like it. But even if you want to do shock then don't expose yourselves as ametures. What made Game of thrones initially good was that they knew how to pick up the story after the shock hit. Everyone went to try and replicate that but it was easy to tell the fake from the professionals because the fakes never understood that the power of GOT wasn't in the shock but the intriguing political duels and battles surrounding it. After "that" scene this game's story and characters become very awkward in their lines and acting. The script writers have no clue how to write a story from that point on and thought a cheaper version of GOT shock would be enough (pfft, ametures... hey, i'm actually sounding like a real critic). This game just keeps going back and forth and back and forth between stuff without character progression and without giving meaning to itself nor to the game it is a sequel of. Quite the opposite actually, it takes out all meaning from the first game. And the one point where they had an oppurtunity and could have maybe pushed the industry forward despite having a horrendous game before that point was completely missed. They could have given us a choice to kill her or not as that's the uniqueness of video game story telling. But nope, they opted for a linear approach (to be fair, it's not like giving us a choice there would have been newand revolutionary either) which is something seen in the oldest narrative games on the store and every movie on the planet, and then critics say this story pushes the industry forward in terms of story telling? No. That's Detroit. That's Witcher. Those pushed the story telling in the industry and the Witcher did it whilst advancing the gameplay in each entry. This, TLOU2, is just an insult. This game deserves to not be rated anywhere near those games or any game over an 85 anyway. The story was pushing "revenge is bad" via its linearity so bad that it failed. In the end, i didn't feel like revenge is bad. Abby gains everything while Ellie loses everything. Everyone except Abby loses in the cycle of revenge. Abby is the only one to have her moment.

    And by rating it as high as the critics have, they have nuked and cheapened and made meaningless all the hard work, effort, awards and approval the gaming industry has fought for all these decades. By falsifying reviews on the PS store even before the game's release (which is why i didn't review it there and decided to do it here) sony has spat on the work of all game developers and the industry. You have cheapened the efforts and achievements of the first TLOU game. If TLOU2 deserves a high rating, then many other games deserve higher.

    I give this game a 1 for good level design and good visuals, even though the latter is expected in a game coming this late in the PS4 life. But its flaws are too many and too deep.

    And don't get me started on the creepiness of Neil Druckman.    … Expand

    Ok well, I’m not gonna say anything, if you have played the game, you probably know why, yup? I consider myself a tolerant person, but the there is some **** called exaggeration, which Naughty Dog guys forgot the meaning of. There is some sort of things I can comprehend, somehow, but exaggeration have never been in that group.

    Why would they do the fans of this game so dirty? Just pandering to game awards and LGBTQ+ folk for no reason other than causing drama. Just make games for the games sake and stop this pseudopolitical garbage. There is a lot of great game design in here but none of it came from Neil Druckmann.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only feeling I felt when I finished the game was sadness. I can't really believe how the second game can be so bad, while the first game is so beautiful. The Last of Us was a brand I valued a lot. I still value the first game very much and I enjoy it even though it has been 7 years. However, I was very uncomfortable even when I finished the second game for the first time. Maybe I gave the game such a bad score because I was very emotional, but I am sure this game does not deserve 95. There are thousands of games and movies about zombies. What makes The Last of Us so popular is their characters. Father-daughter relationship between Joel and Ellie. These two characters make this game valuable. I'm not saying anything to Joel's death, I'm just bothered that it was done so badly. While I missed these two characters so much, I think we should have spent some time with them. Not with flashbacks! I think it would be a better time for Joel to die later. The death of Joel in the first hours of the game made me angry, I was angry not because he died, I was angry because we couldn't spend time with him. I also congratulate whoever came up with the idea of ​​playing with Abby. He/She couldn't make the game worse. I felt that the time I played with Abby was wasted. Another issue is that Abby isn't dead at the end of the game. Ellie is returning for revenge, but just losing more. Two fingers and Dina. So if this is a story of revenge, it's definitely Abby's story. Why is Ellie in the cover art? You have destroyed people's trust with false advertisements. In my country, this game is 1 in 4 of the minimum salary. I'm not sorry for the money that I spent. I’m sorry because they ruined the game that I love so much. Such a disappointment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a gamer who actually played through the entire game before writing a review, bravo Naughty Dog.

    I'd like to point out that both The Last of Us and the remastered version have just over 9000 user reviews each since their releases, which are overwhelmingly positive, and somehow The Last of Us Part II has 41629 user reviews on the third day since it's release, which are overwhelmingly negative. And if you do some scrolling through the reviews, you'll notice that most of them were written on the release day. It took me 25 hours to plow through the story and beat it on the easiest difficulty with minimal sleep and breaks over the course of two days, so there's no way that all these people actually beat it on release day.

    The new game has improved on a lot of the existing features and added a few new ones. Weapon and player upgrades have been expanded. The listening mode has been improved. There's plenty of optional objectives that usually result in upgrade materials, collectible items, or even a new weapon on occasion. There's new terrifying infected enemies and a boss that I'm sure will cause some nightmares. The game also provided some of the most beautiful scenery I've scene in a game yet and I had to stop several times to take a screenshot of the moment.

    As for the plot, there's way too much unwarranted hate. I loved Joel and I hoped that he wouldn't die, especially after hearing about and avoiding the leaked plot and the outrage, but it would have made sense for him to die at some point in the story. I wouldn't have killed him off so early in the game, and I would've had him go out in a blaze of glory defending Ellie or something, with sad but touching last words to her, maybe in a letter if he didn't get to say them, but I'm not the writer.

    I also noticed a lot of hate, dislike, or contempt for the portrayal of LGBT characters in the game, which is funny because the first game already had that to a lesser extent. Now it's at the forefront and people have a problem with it? Remember when Joel and Ellie had to seek out Bill, and when Ellie swiped one of his gay porno mags? Or the DLC 'Left Behind' when Ellie has her first kiss with her friend Riley? Although, I wasn't the biggest fan of Ellie's love interest, Dina, because she could've done better, but it was her first love, so I'll cut her some slack.

    The story WAS GOOD. Maybe it didn't go into every little detail that I would've liked, or expand on certain characters more, and it wasn't how I would've written it, but it was a good story overall. Putting you in control of the "enemy", Abby, and trying to humanize them and explain their motives was interesting. At one point, you have to try and kill Ellie, and it was hard to do because I didn't want her to succeed, so I let her die multiple times and enjoyed her deaths.

    The game had some interesting characters and it did really well at showing that sometimes good and evil are indistinguishable, which is something they explored in the first game with Joel, the fireflies, and now with the new factions. Everyone was doing bad things for the right reasons. It was all so morally grey. That's part of why I loved the story so much.

    Overall, I give the game a 9/10 because of the lack of multiplayer and improvements that could've been made, but I'll make it a 10 to spite the haters.    … Expand

The idea of the plot is precisely conceptually cool, but some kind of torn realization makes the impression blurry and you feel the events in the game separately from each other, because the connection between them is not really felt.

You can see this with your own eyes - I don’t need to tell you. Just look at the difference between PAID shill reviews who are on board with the SJW/diversity/gender politics band wagon and reviews from people who are honest and UNPAID who work their asses off every day to be able to buy the things we enjoy. We don’t work all day to fight to get to the weekend only to crack open a game that goes south within the first hours of the game - and continuously goes south right to the end.

    Yeah, that’s great - all the shill reviews are going on and on about graphics, and lighting and “mood” and they’re not even being truthful about story and characters. They just want you to keep your head down, eat up the story slop and move on to the next BAD GAME like a mindless drone. They got their money from you, they could care less about anything else after they robbed you of what could have been a well oiled story with amazing characters. I will close by saying I will NEVER buy a naughty dog game again, ever. Thanks for the slap in the face. I hope this disaster sinks the stock of your company and buries you. You deserve it. How’s that for a fake review?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So disappointed in the choices made by the developers. I loved the first game and have spent so long waiting for this to come along. The graphics were beautiful, the gameplay took everything I loved about the original and tweaked it, but the narrative decisions were heartbreaking in the worst way. It felt like watching the final season of Game of Thrones again. Someone who loved the original game as much as I do must have raised their voice during the development process to tell them they were going down a path that their loyal fans most likely wouldn't want to go.

    Much has been made of the diversity of the game, and Liberal political subtext. Despite some mediums diversifying to the point of being unrealistic, in this case it didn't really bother me. What bothered me most is that the makers thought they could somehow enlighten the player on the issues of violence and prejudice when most people have come back to escape and be absorbed into a story that can be an emotional roller-coaster, but not one you want to get off of.

    The hardest thing to accept was Joels' relationship with Ellie after what they had been through, his relegation to a background character who makes evidently very poor decisions for a man so worldly wise, and his horrific death at the hands of a small group of people after having despatched hundreds of different enemies during the previous game. Joel is actually spat on while dying in a pool of blood, Ellie crying and pleading for his life - why would you do this to your fans who've waited so long to be reunited with these characters, and why later on make us play again as the killer only to have Ellie let her live after spending the whole game seeking revenge?

    It brought back thoughts of the Walking Dead/Negan story arc and we all know what that did for that show......

    Naughty Dog, I think it was a conceited mistake to assume this game would be accepted based on the amount of work put in, how technically good it is and how greatly anticipated it was - the narrative didn't further the original story, it threw it away.

    I am glad I still have the original to go back to, and genuinely sorry that the sequel storyline ended up as it has....    … Expand

    But for (last of us part 2) same aspect of design for maps , animations and fight variations its good enough no judgement but im giving it 0 because id want my favourite game to teach me whats right or wrong and abuse my love for the game for hidden agenda , dont take me wrong im with lgbt rights but dont make the games teach ppl or oppose ppl ideas cause everyone who plays want to escape the world and not live in another idea !!!
    Thats real world thinking and now lets jump to in game story changes !!
    How the hell ellie became lesbian ? Its only her and joel in the world fighting together hows that possible ?
    She was 14 and in that age obviously if the ones is gay it shows !! Why we dont see that in the part 1 ?? Not to mention (left behind) dlc who started the choas in the story Finally :-

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man, I am just disappointed, heartbroken, and disgusted by the crap Naughty Dog just put out here. I remember seeing the trailer for the first game (the og one from 2011) and thought “wow, what the hell is this?”. Never thought about playing it until I got my PS4 which came with digital remastered version. God damn I **** loved it, became my favourite story for a video game ever. Then I heard they’re making a sequel and I personally thought the game didn’t need a second game, because I thought the first one ended perfectly. But I was still excited, then few years later and after avoiding the spoiling leaks I got my copy. I **** WISH I GOT THE GAME SPOILED FOR ME, THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE! Now that’s off my chest, this game is full of plot holes, poor character development, and just overall bad writing. Especially if you’re a fan of the last game, if you’re a hardcore fan like me then I’m so sorry. I just can’t believe they kill one of the most beloved video game characters and had the balls to replace this dead lovable character with their KILLER?! Then Naughty Dog expects you to feel sorry for this unlikeable new character and justified for why they killed this loved character. Neil **** Druckmann are you delusional? Oh yeah, they make you feel sorry for this new character way after she killed Joel **** it, I’m spoiling it). So you have no **** idea why this character killed Joel until way after, And when you do find out why she killed Joel you don’t **** care. Because you already hate her guts. So yeah don’t buy this game if you’re a fan, The good thing about this game is obviously the graphics, gameplay, beautiful visuals and soundtrack, and top notch acting. So this game is good except for the story, on a technical view, this game is awesome, but that terrible story made it hard for me to finish this **** Sorry for the bad grammar and ****… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have finished the game and my conclusions are still very negative after reflecting on it for a few days...

    The technical aspect of the game is incredible and everything related to the environment and the mechanics are quite well elaborated.

    The game tends to be too long and unnecessary in some respects and breaks with all the themes that were built in the first game.

    The story is simply bad, the characters are rewritten for the benefit of the plot, too many plot conveniences and an empty, meaningless and inconclusive ending.

    SPOILERS!

    I do not disagree that Joel dies, the idea of ​​revenge is an interesting concept on paper, however, the execution is always more important than the idea and this work fails completely in the execution.
    Joel's death is hasty, forced and a very large character potential is wasted by removing him from the plot.

    On the other hand, the scene of Joel's death doesn't make sense, how did they know who Joel was? How come the shelter doors were open when they escaped from zombies? Why does Abby mention that she knows him without having interacted with him before?

    Because of this, all those pleasant moments between Elie and Joel are lost, and the story to try to "justify" Elie's behavior, makes use of very boring flashbacks that in hindsight do not make much sense and are mere routine memories to appeal to. the good moments

    And the worst part is Abby, because it is the character that begins this sequel. The game tries to give humanity and empathize with it, however, it is done at an important moment and just when it kills Jesse. Not only that, but in a revenge story, the least you can hope for is a personal relationship and character building between Abby and Elie. However, there is no character dialogue between the two, and Abby is the least, one of the most forgettable characters due to the little characterization she has and what will be remembered for having killed Joel.

    The ending is disastrous and also makes no sense in the first place, the group that kidnaps Abby what is that group supposed to be and does? Where are they supposed to go at the end with the boat? Why does Elie let Abby live? They have not spoken at all or a constructive interaction, are you really trying to make believe that someone does not kill another person without knowing a little what that person is like? Why is Dina leaving the house? What about Jackson?

    This sequel raises more questions than the first, but these are not due to a depth of a good story, but a totally convenient script and without having delved at all.

    Revenge is a controversial topic that can take a very important role in a story like The Last of Us, however, considering that there have been plot conveniences, little or no character construction and empty outcome. Well, it does not manage to open a conversation about humanity or offer a good outcome according to what was stated in the first game, much less the second.

    This game may be a wonder, as I said before, in the technical aspect and a reference in the evolution of video games in terms of aesthetics. But in the narrative aspect it is a failure and I hope and I only wish this game were not like that because it is unprofitable and it causes me a lot of disappointment.

    Technical aspects: 9/10
    Playability: 8/10
    Narrative aspects: 0/10
    Replay the game? Absolutely no.

    A game like The Last of Us does not stand out for the gameplay or the graphics, it stands out for the story and that is why without a good story that has a minimum of coherence, it does not deserve a 1 for not fulfilling the fundamental piece of this franchise.    … 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]
