    I actually finished this game and this is not a review bomb. So this game has about 3 parts to it. The first part I was thinking if they end it here it was a pretty alright game. Then they have me switch characters to play what I did from a different side which while different felt redundant. Then they added a third part which was so unnecessary and annoying for me.

The game is not a 3 because some elements are good such as the graphics and bits and pieces of the story. The gameplay while fun at first got old after about 10 hours. There are a lot of enemies in this game and miles of paths which at some point I just turned the difficulty down all the way to plow through the game and it still took way too long to finish. They could have ended the game 3 different times but instead they keep dragging it on. Overall don’t buy it. Especially for 60. I’d recommend watch a YouTube movie on it or wait till it’s 20 dollars.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É um jogo simplesmente impressionante, que tem como tema central a vingança. As ações de Joel no primeiro jogo iniciam um ciclo de vingança entre o grupo de Ellie e o de Abby, a filha de um dos médicos assassinados por Joel. A vingança vai destruindo tanto Abby quanto Ellie, assim como tudo e todos em sua volta. Isso fica mais evidente através dos flashbacks, que mostram a beleza do mundo, enquanto a atualidade mostra a destruição. Cada morte gera uma retaliação, formando um ciclo. O ciclo é interrompido somente quando elas desistem de buscar a vingança e seguem em frente. Gráficos e jogabilidade impressionantes, assim como novos infectados e desafios enfrentados, e uma trilha sonora incrível e personagens bastante cativantes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every step forward in this game's narrative confirmed my greatest fear: that not only did a sequel never need to exist, but that making one had the very real potential to harm the legacy of two characters we all grew to love over the course of the first game. Worse still, we were sold a false bill of goods. Every advert we saw and every word out of Naughty Dog's mouth told us that we would be going on another journey with Ellie and Joel. We did no such thing. Instead we were treated to Ellie and Joel being brutalized and tossed aside so that Naughty Dog could force upon us a new protagonist that none of us wanted or cared about. The utter contempt with which Naughty Dog treated its own beloved characters and the dishonest way in which they've dealt with the fandom override any and all of the good qualities this game has. What score could I possibly give a game that seemingly exists for no other reason than to trash what I love and spit in my face except zero? (Note that I was forced to give it at least a 1 because the website has decided not to permit reviews giving the game a zero despite zero being an option)… Expand

A disgracefully misplaced story stacked on top of illogical plot holes and stupidly contradicting character development meant it was one of the most frustrating games I've ever played. The gameplay was good, much the same as the first one and the game looks gorgeous from top to bottom. However it is the creative equivalent to Tommy Wiseau getting to direct the sequel to Citizen Kane. At least in that scenario I could laugh, whereas in this one I just want to cry.

    The only good thing about this game is the graphics and sound design.

It seems the story honestly would be better off if they just left Joel and Ellie alone and has used different protagonists. As I was playing through the game I honestly didn’t care about any of the new characters which is due to the failed writing. Also, one would imagine that when creating a sequel you also attempt to push your gaming mechanics to a new level to raise the bar of gaming and create a fresh experience while maintaining what worked in your previous game. Instead, ND decided to just do a copy and paste of the first TLOU, which feels outdated and out of place in 2020. I honestly had to force myself to finish the game due to a lack of interest or engagement, so I at least would have an trophy to show for the 60 dollars I burned on this game. If you like disappointment, this is the game for you. The game is getting a 3 out of 10 only because of the graphics and sound tbh, the art (with the exception of the character models) and sound design teams deserve applaud, every other team should re-evaluate the work they do and ask themselves if what they’re doing will push the franchise in a positive direction or negative. I will not be buying any future naughty dog games or listening to critic reviews. I would honestly bet critics were threatened to leave good reviews after playing TLOU2.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the game on survivor difficulty. I’ll start with the things I liked about the game. First of all, it looks beautiful. I stopped multiple times throughout to take in the environment. Pretty amazed they got it to run at a near-constant 30fps. Secondly, I really enjoyed the flashbacks between Joel and Ellie; especially the in the museum. When Joel had Ellie put on a helmet and pretend to take off into space, it brought tears to my eyes. What a cool moment.

    I also enjoyed some of the new additions to the game. Having dogs be able to track your scent was pretty cool. I had fun using the crossbow, and that basement hospital fight against that giant mutated infected (or Rat King, as it’s called) was pretty awesome.

    Sadly, that’s pretty much where my enjoyment ends. I’m not even sure where to start. They did Joel a huge disservice in the way that he died. It is an insult to think that he would abandon all of his past survival skill, knowledge, experience, etc. and mosey on in to this unknown group’s location. How do you go from: ‘I’ve been on both sides’, ‘I’ve struggled for a long time with surviving’, and ‘Don’t trust anyone but yourself’ to: ‘Greetings random group! I will blindly put my faith in you and lower my guard! This is my brother Tommy, and I’m Joel! I killed a doctor that was working on a cure!’ It just doesn’t make sense.

    That brings me to Abby. Holy crap, how unlikeable of a character can Naughty Dog make? You expect me to give a crap about this character at all? I love the feeble attempts ND makes to try so hard to get us to sympathize with her. Let’s see things from her P.O.V and look at her reaction to her dad’s death. Mmm, nope, sorry, don’t care. That ‘shock’ fell short by the way. It was super predictable that she was related to the doctor. Every time I was forced to play as her, it was a struggle to keep going. Why the HELL would you force me to play as Joel’s killer? That 10 hour+ ‘side quest’ culminating at the showdown between the WLF and Scars was awful. At no point did I ever want to play as Abby. And why do I care about some stupid power struggle between these two factions? It was incredibly boring. And to think that in the end, Ellie didn’t even get revenge. I understand the whole ‘act of mercy’ angle, and that Ellie told Joel at the end she was ready to try and forgive him, and that she thought of him when she chose not to drown Abby. But WTF. She escaped death how many times to hunt Abby down?! And then she was going to make peace with the fact that she had to let Abby live. But oh wait, she’s having PTSD because Abby is still alive, so she leaves Dina and JJ (whilst knowing that Dina won’t be there when Ellie gets back), so she tracks down Abby AGAIN. And then she’s like...NAH it’s fine, get out of here ya little rascal :) I felt very little satisfaction by the end of the game. Very disappointing.

    And the relationships in this game. I love Ellie, but I didn’t give a crap about her relationship with Dina. The thing about Joel and Ellie’s relationship in the first game that made it so special? It happened organically, overtime, onscreen. They wanted nothing to do with each other at first. But you, the player, got to see their dynamic change gradually throughout the game, and it was interesting. But with Ellie and Dina, they’re just into each other like it’s something we already should’ve known about. The most backstory we get about them is from Ellie’s entries into her journal, which is a poor way to try and build character relationships. The same can be said for Abby and Owen. At no point was I interested in anything they were saying or doing with each other.

    And some smaller grievances. It was really cool in the first game how when Joel pointed his gun, you heard his breathing get much louder, like he was scared and on edge. They got rid of that here which stunk. Also, it was cool at first how when upgrading your gun, they would show you making the addition, but that got old quickly, especially if I was trying to make multiple additions to the same gun. I just felt like I wanted a fast forward button the entire time.
    I also wanted to talk about Tommy running off on his own to go find Abby after Joel died. Uh, why did he do that? Tommy knows Ellie. He knew that she wanted revenge just as badly. He clearly did not want any harm to come to her. Why did he not go with her? Wouldn’t that be the best way to ensure survival?

    In conclusion: The original Last of Us is one of my favorite games. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so hard on Part 2. Abby is awful, unlikeable, and boring. The fact that I had to spend so much time playing as this character was terrible. I replayed 1 more than once at this point. I have 0 interested in ever replaying 2, because there’s so much of the game I would want to skip over. It’s so disheartening to see how bad this all turned out...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man I just finished the game and had to make a Metacritic account to talk this through.

    Graphics are beautiful, music is great, characters are complex... The damn story though.

    In my 20+ years of gaming, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. The first 2 hours we had to swallow the hard pill that is Joel’s death, brutal and I feel unnecessary so early on in the game, senseless in the way it was done but I pressed on, accepting that this was the plot driver of the game and ready to get revenge as Ellie and actually happy to have Dina by my side. The first 10 hours of gameplay were ok, one of my favourite parts of the game actually was watching Ellie and Dina’s relationship develop as well as appreciating their dynamic much like Ellie and Joel’s in the first game.. however this doesn’t last long.

    I appreciate Ellie’s thirst for revenge as the plot driver, I felt it was strong enough and although I struggled to enjoy playing some parts, I did want to rush to the Aquarium to **** up Abby so it was to my surprise when we don’t find her but then she turns up at the theatre, ****s up Tommy and kills Jesse?! Man I was ready for her to BURN, I had watched the interviews with NaughtyDog and thought I understood why this game was about hate... but oh no was I wrong. Gun pointed on Ellie and fade to black to some **** I have never been so mad at a video game before, NaughtyDog had me HATING this game with 15 hours still to play.

    **** Abby and **** her arms. **** her backstory, her friends and any other associated **** I did not care one bit that her dad was the surgeon or that her arms are top dog in the WLF. I could’ve gotten over all of this if we only had to play with her for like an hour or so but half of the game.... HALF OF THE ****ING GAME PLAYING AS THE **** WHO KILLED JOEL, WHOSE ONLY PERSONALITY TRAIT IS ARM DAY?!?! Those 10 hours were the most painful to play, I genuinely did not enjoy one moment of it. If NaughtyDog wanted us to experience a new character and explore new storylines which tie into Ellie’s then they should’ve literally picked any other character. It feels like they asked us to play as David from the first game after everything he did to Ellie - violated is the word I’m searching for here.

    Not only was the gameplay painful and unrelenting whilst playing as Abby but what felt worse was I had no emotional connection to her other than hate. I did not want her to live and was angered by every cut scene. I did like the introduction of the Scar kids though, Yana and Lev was it? They made the gameplay a little bit more bearable as I painfully waited for the words, SEATTLE DAY 3 to appear on my screen.

    One bit I will admit was cool was going to the island, during the thunderstorm as the WLF attacked the Scars and being involved in some of the fighting. It felt deliciously dramatic as everything unfolded and was on fire... only to once again be let down by Yanas death followed by NaughtyDog forcing some uncharacteristic kind of sibling/paternal bond between Abby and the newly orphaned Lev. Let’s skip past some **** and talk about the theatre fight scene. It was cruel of Naughty Dog to make us play as Abby while she beat the **** out of Ellie. Cruel to make us watch pregnant Dina be impaled with an arrow. In my opinion, Tommy should’ve killed Lev and then they should’ve switched us back to Ellie to finish of Abby but NO that would’ve been too kind to the audience wouldn’t it. The disappointment just settled in my stomach as I realised Abby got to walk away after 18+ hours of either chasing her or playing as her. Even after the 10 hours of playing as her I still wanted her to die.

    So the next very odd but momentarily wholesome small bit of gameplay of Ellie and Dina with the baby at the house. Finally I thought, finally Ellie has some peace, the secluded house, Dina and the baby to look after, sure a little PTSD here and there but who doesn’t have that in that world right? I really was hoping for end credits to pop up at any moment, Ellie had some peace I didn’t need more than that but man did I cry and beg right alongside Dina for Ellie to stay after Tommy asked her to go back out for revenge.

    The whole story/gameplay after that felt so forced. Abby and Lev searching for Fireflies and Ellie chasing them in California? Basically shooting through a whole concentration camp INJURED just to find this **** only to have a pathetic punch up and then... letting her go. Man I ****ing hated playing the remaining 5 hours more than I did playing the 10 with Abby, something I did not think was possible at the time. The one silver lining was the flashback with Joel at the end, my heart felt warm knowing he didn’t die thinking Ellie hated him.

    **** NaughtyDog, you should’ve got your writers from Uncharted 4 on this but instead looks like you got someone from Ubisoft to destroy Ellie and Joel’s story.    … Expand

    This game is an improvement over the original in many ways. I was hooked from beginning to end. I just finished playing TLOU1 before diving into the sequel, and I truly appreciate Naughty Dog’s effort in keeping the series fresh.

    The storytelling and acting are setting new heights for gaming as an art form on par with movies and books.

    An absolutely horrible story. Horrible writing that depends on way too many plot contrivances to be taken seriously. The characters are laughably stupid... walking into a room full of armed strangers, leaving a map behind that the enemy can use to find you, ambushing your enemy from behind with a stick of wood rather than just shooting them in the back, etc etc. Also the Abby characterAn absolutely horrible story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *SPOILERS*
    This game is a perfect example of destroying a whole universe and your reputation. Let's cut to the chase.
    Joel's death, the way it happened. It's ok to kill a main character. But the way you do that and curcustances ARE important. That scene wasn't even horrible/shocking/whatever devs wanted to show us, it was pathetic. Why did you do that? Just to shock the audience? Well, killing a main character does not make you a great writer. To give Ellie motivation so story can go further? But the revenge didn't happen. So what's the point? Kick off the MAIN character at the very beginning like he is nothing. Like he is not even secondary character - devs represent him as tertiary character. Even secondary characters in video games (the first game, for example) have much more respect to them. I still can't believe this happened. The way you did that is such a disrespect to a character and story at all.
    Playing as Abby half of the game. Really? This game is ALL about Joel and Ellie, so why should player even play as her HALF of the time? No one even cares about her. Especially if this character beat a beloved character to death. And then, devs wanted us to sympathize her? It's pretty stupid.
    The ending. The ending is the worst I've ever seen in my life. Just imagine - Abby has beaten Joel to death. Ellie chased her down. To forgive her. Wow, how? What was the point? To prove revenge is bad? And now Ellie has nothing. I'm just speechless.
    Marketing. You showed the audience the scene with Joel in one of the trailers. And then you replace him with secondary character? Really? "Subvert expectations"?
    The hate about the game. Go to reddit/youtube/twitch if you want to know the real reason why all the people are upset about the game. The REAL reviews. Don't developers even see the REAL situation, the real failure? Such a spit to the original game. You wanted a strong woman? You had one in your own game - her name was Tess. Another one? Boom - Marlene. Now people hate feminism and anything related to it even more. Even LGBTQ+ community downvoted this game because of wrong representations. Everyone is losing with this game. Devs, players, LGBTQ+ community, females, males, black people, white - everyone.
    This game is called "The Last Of Us Part II", right? Then, it is supposed to be about the same characters, story, right? Because it has "Part II" it the title. But no. The only few things that have something in general with the first game are - title, flashbacks. That is all. It is not even close to the first one.
    The only reason why I don't put 0/10 is the graphics and the environment design. That is all. That is the only good thing that I can say about this game - "It just looks pretty". Anything else is just as bad as it could be and even worse. Oh, flashbacks are pretty good. I have never seen in my entire life such a disrespect, lazyness and luck of ideas. You must be either lazy or don't even care about your own game. Or both.
    I had been waiting for this game for 4 years. Someone had been waiting for even 7 years. And at the end we did get this. Can you even imagine?    … Expand

Be warned coming in that the tale told here will cause your stomach and emotion to steer in all different directions.

El juego en cuestión de mecánicas, jugabilidad, escenarios, gráficos y soundtracks está excelente, pero la historia no está a la altura de todos estos aspectos mencionados. La personalidad de Ellie no parece la misma de la parte I y la muerte de Joel fue sin gracia y sin drama alguno, ademas el antagonista principal "Abby" no es un villano a la altura para el juego, está poco desarrollado y es imposible simpatizar con ella. Hay juegos en los que el villano es odiado pero a la vez es irreemplazable por su originalidad y este no es el caso. Además ni hablar de ese final tan malo. Importante... al decir que la historia es mala en ningún momento estoy diciendo que es a causa de la inclusión ni nada por el estilo, eso no tiene nada que ver, de hecho esta bien que lo hayan hecho ya que cada quien hace su juego a su manera, pero hay que aceptarlo, el desarrollo de la historia es horrible.… Expand

And u make me fight ellie? Wtf ND? Ultimate dissrespect to joel. U wanted us to sympathize with abby but sorry when the person u have loved for 7 years dies like this, unlike ending him in a respectful , noble and badass way, we just cant.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game wholeheartedly upsets me. I cannot believe that people genuinely enjoyed this game. I can't fathom why or how there are so many 100/100 reviews for this game.
    People say that those who dislike this game are hard-right conservatives that hate the idea of homosexuality, feminism, and the idea of strong female characters. I assure you that the reason why the user reviews are extremely low has nothing to do with this.
    THE problem with this game is the story. In the first game (The Last of Us) Joel is extremely cautious, cold, calm and collected, never let his guard down, and never gave any information to people he did not trust. However within the first hour of the game Joel tells strangers where they live, their real names and to top it all off, he trusts them right off that bat.
    This is not the Joel we learned to know of in the first game of the series. It is sad to say, and it seems like to me that the developers decided to throw out the development of the story for a single message... ("Revenge is bad, it will do no good for you and will consume you").
    Don't get me wrong, the visuals of the game are insanely well done, and I love the new intricacies regarding the overall gameplay, however, this game is a story-driven game and the story doesn't really have anything to show. You don't really feel like you go anywhere.
    I found no enjoyment in playing or watching the story... why would the developers make you play as a character while you beat the crap out of the main character that you've known to love with another "main" character that you've learned to hate. I just can't see what they were going for here, and neither can the other 40,000 negative reviews.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all,lets get into the things this game does well.
    This is one of the best looking games I have ever played.The visuals are nothing short of magic done by naughty dog.The gameplay is solid,although not much of an improvement over the first one.The animations are incredible,and the acting done by the cast(regardless if you like their character or not) is probably the best in the business.This game is a technical master piece, and no one can deny that.

    The story,however,is what the first game did best, and what people were expecting from this game,too. I can't believe I am writing this on a naugbty dog game,developers responsible for the uncharted series and the first last of us,but the writing and the story here feels underwhelming at best.The characters,who are brilliantly acted,are poorly written. And how they treat joel is not justified at any point throughout the game.The new characters introduced are just not fleshed out.
    You don't get to spend too much time with them,which means no emotional connection,which means you really don't care about the stakes.
    And the absolute nonsensical decision to let you play as Abby,the girl who kills joel at thr start,just does not make sense.
    They tried hard to make you sympathize with this character,but throughout her section,the chances are that you will not develop any sort of connection with her.Thats because,in my opinion,the last of us has always been about Joel and Ellie.Not just random groups of survivors.Most people will not care about this random group of people you are introduced to.They wanna play as Ellie,and progress as her.The whole section of Abby feels like an 11-12 hours of tideous side quests...and don't get me started on the island part.That island section was put there just for political agendas.
    Nothing more.Adds nothing to the story,and goes on for far,far,FAR too long.And the game acts like you give one bit of damn about whats going on with these characters.
    The ending is one of the most pathetically written endings I have encountered in a video game.So all in all,the story,which was supposed to be the strongest part of this game,is the weakest part of this game.
    I really wanted to believe that the hate this game is getting is unnecessary,I really did.
    But after playing it myself,I would say it deserves it.    … Expand

    In-your-face political propaganda is merely icing on top of a very disappointing and poorly written story. Which in a game series built around storytelling is pretty bad. This game shouldn't have happened.

    it is well done game with fascinating story of humans for different angle of view its not video game for people who just wants the main character kill everyone in his way to the end its game for grown up people who wants enjoy a outstanding story and game play and music not just some killing machine with no sympathy with Regret and no result of the actions.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The graphics are nice and do not betray the expectations set by the original game. It could have been better and the potential of the PS4 Pro was not properly utilised. The gameplay is repetative and the mechanics are lacking.

    The story is the worst in the history of gaming: you kill the protagonist and play the murderer with no explanation and you also play the daughter-figure of the victim, whose primary purpose is revenge. In the end you don't get revenge though, and the storytortures you with unskippable filler just like a low budget anime. It is almost like the story was made bad on purpose...

    I dunno, it seems that some video games designers have run out of plots and all they have left is shock value. Well, some shock value can be interesting but to be shocked by "torture porn" as many have called it, and the shock of having to play as a lesbian, well, you can have that shock! I like female protagonists in video games, Tomb Raider's Lara Craft, Horizon Zero Dawn's Aloy, andI dunno, it seems that some video games designers have run out of plots and all they have left is shock value.

Ellie and Abby are just disappointing in comparison.… Expand

    The game is with very bad story.It forces you to play with character that you hate for the half of the game.Also I don't cared about almost every new character and played from start to final.Nothing make sense in the story and it's make only for gay and trans people not for the last of us 1 fans and it's made bad.They could make it good for all people but they made it bad for everyone

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was waiting since 2013 for sequel and this is what we get? Yes, its nice to watch and listen this game, gameplay hasnt changed much, but story is so bad that I hated to play it. Why would I want to play as Abby? Neil Druckman said they idea of playing for someone else instead of Joel or Ellie is bad and here we are. I dont want to play for Abby half of the game which kills Joel, who saved her life before in the game and then watch Joel and Tommy doing dumb decision´s like offering WLF to visit Jackson to restock and resupply :D Joel recognize trap in the original game and now he is blind? It´s sad. I will pretend that TLOU2 didnt happen and everything ended how it was supposed to in the original game.… Expand

    I myself enjoyed the game it looks amazing the voice actors are great and I liked the story. There were sad,angering,funny moments but I think they balanced out. The ending was not what I was expecting but thats a good thing I like story's you can't completely figure out makes it more fun. Ive read so many reviews bashing this game and wonder if people even played the game. One statedI myself enjoyed the game it looks amazing the voice actors are great and I liked the story.

One stated played for 15 minutes and didn't like it but was stating things that happen many hours into the game in 15 minutes not possible. For people reading these to see if this is a good game to try id say give it a try and make your own opinions on the game. Like I put I enjoyed it but not everyone will.… 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]
