For the people giving bad grades cause they dont understand the story and the meaning behind it u should really play attention cause this is not a game where everyone is happy this game shows that every action you took in the first game with joel has consequences he kills so many people and this story shows that joel is not a hero and naughty dog showed that through abby's story, there are so many messages in the game like after the last fight with abby ellie is alone wich she mencioned was her biggest fear in the first game, tommy in the end represents those who couldnt understand abby's side and he lost an eye showing the blindness of those who only think of revenge and cant see that this is not a hero's story this is a "realistic" world where dog eats dog, and there is this cycle of hate that goes for to long and ends with ellie losing everything Dina,JJ, her friends and her fingers wich she used to play guitar the only thing that connected her to joel leaving her with nothing.

    Gameplay whise was a big upgrade from the first game the different craft style, the way the enemies showed the and freedom they give u to explore the areas.

    The graphics are perfect not much to say about that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. first game is a masterpiece. this game is bad. the gameplay is only slightly changed but after this much time that amount of improvement feels like a step back. the biggest let down was all the lies. neil told us when the sequel was announced they wouldn't return unless the story was good and he said how important these 2 characters were to him and the team. both characters were ruined and unrecognizable to the characters we loved by the end of this game. ellie had family friends and a home, now she has nothing and is alone. and joel well joel is dead in the most bs way they could write full of a million coincidences to make it all fit together. neil also made sure to lie and tell fans with trailers joel will make it deep in the game and that he's a main character still just to find out it was faked. neils hubris was on full display as he thought he could lie to all the fans and still make the story good enough that we wouldnt hate it. you failed fans and the characters neil. his new fav character abby is maybe the most dislikable person ever written in anything. she does and says more disturbing things than joel but she does it for revenge and hatred unlike joel who did it for love and survival and yet were supposed to accept her by the end even though she's worse than joel and killed him after a long drawn out torture we have to watch. sound design is a mixed bag. glass breaking and other objects sound great but most guns and the atmosphere noise is sub par and often just silent like nothing in the world makes a noise without ellie. don't make me kill dogs with no choice then try and make me feel bad. no one wants to kill dogs. you can tell they wrote the end first and that they couldn't come up with a good story to get you there. the the end game is so disconnected from the gameplay leading up to it its insane. abby gets ellies forgiveness and remorse after ellie just killed 100s of enemies she didn't even know, but abby who she hates for a reason can live, abby who has given her ptsd is now forgiven. joel is a murky character but he's clearly the good out of many evils in the world. abby is not murky she's just a bad person who only cares for herself and she works for the evils in the world willingly. lev/yara is the only likeable part of her story but its entirely them, abby stinks. hope the show retcons abby so joel and tommy just watch her get eaten instead and go home and have great lives. this game not improving on the sales of the first show how much a mess this game is. 10 million plus people loved the first and yet you managed to deliver a product that even in an improved gaming market with more ps4 than ever they could not even expand sales a little. tlou part 3 is going to flop hard when ever they inevitably force the next turd out as part of the shows story needing to continue rather than an actual idea for good story telling.… Expand

It is also useful to look at it from this perspective.

    Also, as proof of what I said, women who grew up under the pressure of men in a way that they could not display natural behavior behave masculine, popular culture and adolescents think that all women dress and act like women. There is really no difference in the game made for people, they understand that this game is really no different from what they see in life, human relations, etc. situations because the psychology of upbringing changes people, the environmental factor makes women this way, this environmental factor is the last point in the game, I have observed in my own life, grown up under pressure. women act like men, if anyone experiences and observes this, they will make a positive criticism anyway. In his opinion, an intelligent person who has created a game completely reflecting his thoughts will immediately notice this situation. Congratulations, the game is heavy, not for people who do not know the truth. There is a mindset that wants the game to be Apex.    … Expand

Joel, just like Luke, gets completely s**t on just to "subvert expectations", a slap in the face of all fans of TLOU part 1. Most of the new characters are uninteresting and by halfway through the gameplay gets really repetitive. Which leaves us with the story, a pointless revenge story without the big payoff. I don't know what they were thinking when they wrote this, but they clearly missed the mark, at least with fans of the original. A low score is given for ruining and killing off one of the most beloved and interesting characters without even giving him a proper ending or purpose. What a shame naughty dog, went from top studio to irrelevant all thanks to Neil druckman AKA the new Rian Johnson.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately this game is horrible and it could have been great. The first game was great because of the relationship between Joel and Ellie that the player got to experience. It is strange that the developers did not understand that this was the reason for it's success. In the second game there is nothing of that kind. You basically play unlikeable characters (Abby) and also have to endure several very questionable and explicit depictions of gay scenes (you cannot imagine, hard to watch). The first game didn't throw this topic at you constantly and not to that extent, therefore it never bothered me.
    I basically just wanted to play a zombie game with a great story (like the first) - I bought my playstation 4 for the TLOU1 game and waited a long time for the second without checking the spoilers. Good luck to Naughty Dog with selling the next game to that niche market. Apperantly they forgot who their customers are and what they want.
    There are many more problems with this game. You can read them all in many other reviews. The IP is definetly dead after this. Maybe even the developer. Another franchise ruined :(

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And once again the paid off shill game journalist and devs are in full damage control trying to shape the narrative. Sorry but if you in your right mind give this glorified MOVIE a 10/10 you need your head checked. Lets not even get into how bad the story is compared to the first (the first few hours is literally spent watching a dating rom com) or how the game completely and pointlessly **** on a beloved character or the lackluster ending. No lets forget all that for a minute. It's just NOT a fun game to play, at all. It's a glorified interactive movie. Listen Druckmann, get you a deal with Netflix, and make a full fledged tv show/film it's clearly what you really want to do. It seems like the more advanced consoles are becoming, the less games are being games. If this is what PS5 has to offer, all the games just being walking simulators, then my hype has died down a bit. Find a new formula Sony. Every game being a movie is getting tiresome and old. I don't even feel I need to even talk about the plot, it's not even worthy of mentioning. I will just go on pretending this game never happened, erasing from my memory and only considering the original canon. Way to take a solid game, and completely **** on it's legacy. 10 years from now we could have all looked back at the original TLOU as a great quality game. Now everytime people look back, they will just remember how trash it's sequel was, great job Naughty Dog. Can't say i'm surprised though. ND first started dropping the ball with Uncharted 4, then it's spinoff. I guess we should have expected this. The only reason i'm even giving this game a 4 is because of it's good animations.

This game is about endless violence, a disturbing amount with no player choice in the matter. This game makes Joel and Tommy seem like brain dead morons that forgot they survived as hunters in this world, who just blindly trust a random group of strangers and leave their weapons in another room to get locked into a room completely surrounded and say, "oh well we live right over here, I'm Tommy and this is my brother Joel. WHAT YA'LL ACT LIKE YOU HEARD OF US!" completely out of character for them. Forcing a dumb early death that reaks of god awful poop tier writing. Druckmanns self insert character proceeds to spit on Joel's corpse much like he is spitting on the fan base. No sane fan of the first game will ever like this garbage. Naughty Dog and Druckmann have betrayed all of us. This is a revenge game WITHOUT REVENGE. That's right folks. At the end of it all Ellie has NOTHING and nobody left and decides to just let Abby go, after getting her fingers bitten off of course. This depressing game ends with her not even able to play the guitar anymore. JUST WHAT!!?? Who is this game even for Druck? IF YOU HAVE DEPRESSION DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. 0/10 pure tumblr tier trash.… Expand

After finishing the Last of Us I never wanted another game with similar gameplay, I didn't even want another game in the series. When they released The Last of Us II I ONLY bought the game to see how the story would continue. Unfortunately, the story is essentially a rushed cash-grab with surface level themes like "Revenge is bad". I hope I'm missing some hidden message in this mess but it doesn't seem like it.

From start to finish you can see thaylt no love or fan service went into this game and sadly they failed in trying to copy some of Rockstar's writing with a main character death. Unfortunately theg went way too far and screwed up the whole game because of their conservativeness of the modern world... Sorry, But this is not what I expect from a Naughty Dog game and I hope you see that the fans are unhappy with the game even though you paid game reviewers to give you perfect scores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story was very forced in some parts, I was disappointing, but in a very bad situation, Tommy and Joel trusted a person without even asking what she was doing there and arguing about, once Joel was or suspected, that doesn't change in a callous person like him, and Tommy in good faith, just like the beginning of one when Joel didn't want to stop giving a ride to a family when the outbreak broke out. Abby's own revenge, after 5 years, is a little forced and finds its target as it was, given on a platter, once again forced. An interesting point, despite the strength, playing with Abby should cause aversion, Joel's postmortem gameplay, as much as fighting Ellie. Ellie's moments of remembrance with Joel are very touching, the highest point in history, the only point that is not forced, emotional! Another forced part was done by Tommy, demanding Ellie's participation, Tommy always seems to be calmer than Joel, trying to do less or worse, time to stay on fire because he believes in the ideals of the group, then in Jackson, starting a family and using City . In the end, less, Ellie didn't kill Abby, I was already rooting for either, I was already totally lost and Ellie paid a very high price and didn't see how it could be different. Be surprised that Ellie has known the whole truth since the beginning of the story, the group's motivation was already predictable, and to hope that Ellie's revenge would be balanced with the truth told by Abby and Tommy by denying or confirming everything. The story of the first one was the best because it was fluid, without forcing it, you could understand or Joel when he resisted bonding with Ellie and then killing the workspaces to save Ellie. Naughty Dog was audacious with the story, because it is not an infiltration of Abby in Jacksson, as the group was planning and ending a revenge in the first meeting between Abby and Ellie, it was interesting the attempt to provoke aversion when using Abby, but if one the intention was to create sympathy, try to make the player understand Abby's side, I don't think I did, a person who keeps security for 5 years and leaves a recent murder of his friends alive, doesn't make any sense to me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us: Part II is an undoubtedly story-based game. So my review will be focused almost entirely on the story. The gameplay is incredibly similar to the first with added movement options and different enemy types.

    Instead of following in the steps of its predecessor, the sequel throws away much of its character-development, atmosphere, and world-building for the sake of adding a playable antagonist. Despite early news promising the development of Ellie and Joel's bond, the latter is killed in the prologue of the game by said antagonist. Instead of naturally becoming a revenge story, the writers try their hardest to make the player emphasize with Abby - something incredibly difficult to accomplish if the player developed a connection to the protagonists from the first game. Characters close to Ellie die or abandon her unceremoniously throughout the course of the game in scenes that seem more reliant on shock value than good writing. Those who die are always taken out by Abby, and you'll occasionally play as her for these scenes. At the ending, Ellie saves Abby's life before challenging her to one last fight. Despite having two of her fingers bitten off in the struggle, Ellie gets the upper hand and is all set to drown the woman who has taken everything from her. With a brief vision of Joel flashing through her mind, she makes a disappointing decision to let go of Abby and allow her to get away. At the end of the day, Ellie is left with nothing. The player has gained nothing.

    The central issue that pervades the entire story is characters acting unlike themselves. Tommy and Joel give their names and home location to an armed group they just met. Jesse, who has been shown to have a level head, rushed through a closed door into a room that could have had any amount of hostiles. He was, of course, immediately shot in the head and killed. Ellie murdered possibly hundreds in her quest to kill Abby, and not only untied her, but she also challenged her to some strange form of honorable combat before letting Abby go free. It is not good writing. It's characters acting completely unpredictable just for something terrible to happen. It's like they can't create shock value without making someone act like an idiot.

    Lastly, there is no joy in The Last of Us: Part II. Not if you came into it with the previous characters in your heart. Every beloved character is dragged through the dirt constantly with no moments of reprieve. It's one miserable scene after the other. The only "uplifting" moments tend to happen when the player is controlling Abby. At the end of the day, there is no satisfaction for the player. None for Ellie. None for Joel, Tommy, Jesse, or Dina. You don't get your adventure with Ellie and Joel. You don't get your revenge. You don't get a glimpse of the hope for a better future that was present in the first game. It's devoid of hope. The only thing you get at the end of the day is a message that revenge is bad, but it falls flat once you realize that the only person who got their vengeance is the one that came out on top.

    The only people who legitimately enjoyed playing The Last of Us 2, for it's story, are people whose ONLY personality trait is either their gender, sexual orientation, or skin colour.    … Expand
