    A key moment to actually prove that gaming journalists are either paid for giving good reviews.
    The game itself is clusterf... of a story that only one man likes; the creator.
    Technically it's ok.
    I don't we ever will see a game reviewed so differently between users (real gamers) and sellout journalists.

    Boiler plate game-play. Not disappointing, but nothing to write home about. Not much more to say. You wont find it difficult, but you wont' be blown away either.

    Visuals swing wildly between truly breathtaking environments to horrendous abominations with the character models / Mocap. We might have actually found the lowest point of the uncanny valley here. Quite an achievement, being more jarring - not worse you must understand. Technically it's all very well put together it's just so much more unsettling - than Mass Effect Andromeda.

    But the story is where we really struggle. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but the story is terrible. Every beat of this story reads like someone who wants to prove what a big clever boy they are. It's a basic "If you seek revenge dig two graves" story, filtered though the eyes of someone who thinks they have something clever or original to say. They don't. They really, really don't.

    You know when a writer wants to prove that their story has depth, so they fill it with pointless unnecessary character death because "Death makes it deep!" (Think "Xmen The Last Stand"). That is the closest thing to an original idea in this story. It's just one long slog through misery porn because someone never learned there are other was to have a real emotional moment in a story.

    This is not Aeris' death in FFVII.

    This is not Johns death at the end of RDR

    This is Luigi coming up to Mario and saying "Mario, I have-a the AIDS" and Mario looking direct into the camera and saying "Mama Mia! AIDS is-a Bad!" while a single tear roles down his cheek.

    The writers think they're saying something important or unique about revenge, but I can't hear it over the sound of their own fart sniffing.

    Sorry to harp on about the story, but I cannot emphasise enough the shallow cynical trash this story is. It actively lessens the story of all other Naughty Dog games. Jak and Daxter is a worse game now for being connected to the company that made TLOU2.

    This games gets 1 point from me because there has been some real talent involved in some elements of the game (Again, the environments are beautiful) but for the rest of this game? I deeply regret that I had to spend my own money on this game.

    I could name quite some examples but take death stranding as the most recent one before this.

    I think the people who create games like these have chosen the wrong medium. They want to be directors and therefore fail to deliver what I call a true Game. If I want to watch a great drama I start Netflix and not my console...

    The point why these games get insanely high critic scores is that the people who do nothing else but play video games each day, all year round as a job become more and more like art critics who are bored by the art. The yearn for something freaky ,fancy, unexpected and games like last of us are a welcoming change in their routine. But like art critics who go nuts about a painting that shows little less then black stripes on white canvas they lost their connection to the casual guy next door and what he likes.
    The last of us part II is more a video then a game and instead of being fun to play it needs to shock you to get your attention, in my opinion, a cheap tactic.
    Test it for an hour before you buy this, probably it will help you to save money that you can spent on a real video GAME.

This game is the bravest act ever done from a publisher like Naugty dog in this case. Many players didn't like the terrifying and dark way the story was told, but that is exactly what Naughty dog wanted to do. This game is the most emotional thing I have ever experienced.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, I think the negative reviews have such low scores as a result of the INSANE 10/10 critic scores. SPOILERS* This isn't a 10/10 game, not even close and no human in their right mind could think so. The game plays beautifully, looks stunning but leaves you feeling totally unfulfilled and empty. Its a shallow and medeocre experience. This is mainly due to the torture and killing of one half of the most beloved partnership in video games early in the game. We are then forced to play as the perpetrator of this act... To say I wasn't particularly interested in keeping said person alive was an understatement. Nothing that ND & ND did subsequently to this could undo the hatred I had for that character. If anything we should have played Abby from the start, allow to build a report with her, understand her motivations before the brutal killing we are forced to witness. This would then bring the two sets of characters together and justify the games story tangent. This is only part of what is a disjointed affair at best. Drawn out and poorly thought through. I think ND and ND have underestimated how beloved their characters were with everyone who played the first game. This game destroys all of that goodwill. This game turns characters we cared about into revenge zombies, as mindless as those infected we are forced to ENDLESSLY kill. As the game concludes we are left caring about nobody. Do I want a sequel? Maybe, if they can somehow rehabilitate Ellie and allow her some redemption. Otherwise, leave your crackpot ideas at home Neil Druckmann, you have managed to ruin a beloved franchise, where were the dissenting voices at Naughty Dog, surely there were people who disagreed with this suicidal direction? Was it worth 7 years of waiting?? Nope, it really wasn't. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm going to get the incredible characteristics of this game out of the way.
    There is no doubt in my mind that this may be the most stunning video game I have ever played.

    - The graphics are out of this world,
    - The audio design is complex and atmospheric
    - The voice acting was phenomenally done by a group of incredibly talented actors.
    - The environment has an engrossing allure to it that makes made me feel like I was truly there.

    However, there are a few fascinatingly apparent flaws that I will not get out of the way: storytelling and character development.

    In a game franchise such as The Last Of Us, the graphics and audio design is hardly anything compared to the impact the story has on the player. There are far too many shallow characters, plot holes, timeline shifts, and unnecessary plot points for this game to exceed the gaming industry with the same success shown by the first game. Not to mention the horrific choice made for Ellie in the ending. Here are a few notable mentions:

    Con #1) Why does Ellie's anger show no recollection or representation as seen in The Last Of Us 1? When Ellie was faced with situations in which she needed to defend Joel, she killed everybody in the way. No questions asked. But in this game, when Ellie finally has her chance to avenge him, how the hell did Naughty Dog decide that Ellie no longer had a hatred towards Abby after she receives a flashback of Joel's brutally bloodied head? Because Ellie felt for Abby? Because she thought if she killed Abby she would be doing Joel wrong? Did we forget this game was about Ellie's revenge? All of Abby's friends were murdered, she killed Ellie's friends with no hesitation. All of Ellie's friends were murdered, yet she doesn't feel the need for revenge, the entire point of this plot. Now some may argue that this is an act of Ellie maturing and understanding the consequences of her actions. To me, that is a load of BS. Ellie has made many choices in this game that stray so far from her as a character that it almost feels like a different person.

    - Con #2) Abby, alongside many of the new characters in this game, have absolutely NO depth in any way. The only characters I really felt for were the ones shown in the previous game, I wonder why that is. Naughty Dog tried unbearably hard to introduce "the other side of the story" to show that Joel had it coming for him. Was that "other side of the story" even remarkably moving or reasonable? Absolutely. Not. Why were we given so much time with Abby to understand who she is and her relationship with her friends and father yet not a single hour of it was enjoyable or justifiable? There were 100% zero sympathies I felt towards this girl. So not unless you give me a Last Of Us Part II dedicated to why we should care about this Abby girl or why her story even remotely convinces me that killing Joel in the way she did was okay, I'm going to say this is a case of a disastrous narrative and Abby is garbage excuse for an antagonist/main character.

    Con #3) I'm not even going to explain how horrendous the writing is in some of these side-characters. The number of plot holes that are accompanying them makes me want to throw up just as many times as Dina did. I will say that the story seems engaging when you are playing through Ellie's POV and there aren't any cutscenes to ruin it...
    The fact that I need to say that the best part of the game was playing through the museum flashback two years prior to the events of the main plotline with Ellie and Joel shows just how unenjoyable the game really was for me.

    Naughty Dog put so much effort into trying to show us that we were the true bad guys yet non of that effort had a single ounce of pay off. If you want us to fall in love with your new characters the same way we fell in love with the original ones, give us more time, please. Give us the depth and development that Joel and Ellie and Tommy have. One of the main reasons Abby even exists was that she was a perfect way to introduce the idea of gender fluidity, LGBTQ+, and independent femininity into a video game. But it just wasn't necessary. All-in-all my main gripe about this game is that some of the best writers in video game history have somehow messed up what was 7 years of anticipation and hype for one of the worst stories I have ever experienced.

    I will be giving this game a 3/10 sheerly out of pity for the incredible artists, sound designers, animators, and voice actors who put so much work in to hard carry the writers that developed this tragedy.
    So how can I put this lightly? If you have the money to purchase this game, put that money into something else, and walk away. And to those who have already played the game or have watched a playthrough, I am so sorry. You and I are gonna take a deep breath and pretend this didn't happen. Deal? Deal.

The first of these is a lot of twists in the plot, I never thought that with a very good character they could do that. Secondly, the game for Abby alerted me, it is very long and boring. What can I say about homophobia, but nothing, it is very small there, as for me it is only at the beginning and because of this I am not ready to lower the rating of this game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really can't describe how much of a joke this game turned out to be. Seven year wait with a lot of hype surrounding it. Everyone grew to love Joel and Ellie together, and their father/daughter relationship. Then after all these years you release it, the sequel to a truly great game. Within two hours Joel dies like a **** rat, nothing heroic, nothing smart, no sacrifice, just cold brutal ****

    I think everyone knew that Joel was going to die at some point in the game, but within 2 hours of a twenty some hour game, damn. And they have the **** audacity to have us play as the **** who shot his leg with a shotgun, tortured him for several hours and then ending his life infront of Ellie with a **** golf club to the skull. That right there should have been where I stopped playing.

    The slog fest that is the Abby(Joel killer) storyline lasts for 10+ hours, even if you rush it which you probably will do, since they **** ended Ellie's gameplay on a cliffhanger with Abby about to shoot her, after she has just came to kill Ellie. I can't even make this up, they force you to play Abby's storyline to make you humanize her, but all you can think about is Ellie and the **** cliffhanger. Like who in their right mind gives a flying **** about Abby after you see her beating the **** out of your favorite characters from the earlier game?

    I want to wrap this up, since it's actually way too much stuff to be said. Basically Ellie moves away to a farm with Dina and her baby, far away from everything. She is suffering from PTSD and nightmares about Joel dying. So she sets out to find and kill Abby, again. You find her tied up and dying, you are also dying. You fight, she bites off two of your fingers, you hold her under water to drown her, but you don't kill her. She drives off in a boat with her kid to join fireflies and attempt to have a good life.

    Ellie returns to the farm to find the house abandoned. Ellie sits down and plays on the guitar Joel gave her, it sounds like **** cause she misses to fingers, she puts it down, camera pans to window where we see Ellie walking into the horizon. Leaving the only thing she had after Joel died, music. She lost her **** girlfriend and Dina's kid, basically Ellie's kid, and **** Tabby is seemingly living her best life in a town of 200+ people. Roll credit. **** this game. DO NOT BUY IT

    I rarely ever leave negative reviews for games but this really crosses the line. Not only is the story incredible incompetent and completely disrespectful to the legacy of the original game but the gameplay itself is so boring, incredibly tedious and archaic. There's barely any gameplay improvements over the previous game. I struggled even finishing it.

    I honestly cannot see how critics can give honestly this game perfect 10/10 scores in the state its in. Like the game feels like it's not even made for an audience in mind but rather Its made for Neil himself and Twitter followers. No wonder 70% of the staff left Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seeing beloved characters getting punched, kicked, murdered in the most horrendous disgusting ways one can only imagine (and literally spit on by the creative lead) is not my kind of enjoying rare spare-time. Slashing through hordes of enemies only to spare the goal target in the end is not good writing. At least have the balls to let the player decide! But then you can’t build a sequel with Abbey in the lead I get it.
    You see when Glenn got his head bashed in by Negan - that was the same disgusting stuff noone wanted to see and it not only killed the character but the soul and heart of the franchise. You can like this game of course but it’s definitely not that masterpiece the forces it to be. For all these 15 out of 10 "critics" praises it actually deserves the 0 to even the odds. But to stay fair and not giving these hate mobs points, I stick to the 3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game itself as an adventure is good. But the plot of the game did not like me at all. Pour Joel on the second hour of the game-Joel who went with Ellie through a bunch of bandits, cannibals, etc. helps the first girl on steroids. After Joel's death, you are filled with hatred, and you go to get revenge. OK you play for Ellie and get used to it, but then the second part you play for Abby - for the one who so cruelly killed Joel, why, why, I want to end this part as fast as possible. Not once did I get the hang of Abby's story. Closer to the end, there is no strength to play, but damn it when it's over. And the ending is just complete **** you can't get back at Abby - there's just no way.
    Another of the disadvantages is the obsession with LGBT topics, I do not condemn LGBT, but for me the game is clearly too much.
    I miss Joel-the most adequate character in the game.

    This game has NOTHING for stretches of 5-10 hours. This game feels like it was made by a movie studio trying to win an Oscar, but in the end NOBODY loves the game, not even the intended audience. People deem it playable compared to releases of unfinished games which plague the industry. The game is a slog to go through.

    I see what they were going with it but they flopped terribly in the execution it's infuriating...I mean who tf wrote this? A teenage intern? I really have nothing more to say without spoiling...there is a ton of other games with silly stories and who reads this must have seen a movie or played a game with bad writing that goes nowhere but this time the story was perfect and the sequel ruins everything (take Game of Thrones season 8 as an example)...
    To put it in one sentence: compared to the first one it gets a zero from me nothing more sadly.

    Gameplay, The bad: 6
    The gameplay is the same with some refinements...it still is clunky and last-gen just looks cooler so a 6 I guess...

    Graphics, The good: n/a

    2 points for the two original protagonists from the previous instalment. Gameplay was good but the peace was slow, and the characters’ actions (particularly towards the ending) were not justifiable by the development of the whole storyline. Most importantly, the messages delivered were too politically correct, sometimes enough is enough.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought the game to see for myself to see how bad it really is. It’s definitely not a 2/10 but a lot of the story doesn’t make sense. Like why make Abby a man’s body with a woman’s head? Why didn’t they just make the Abby character a just a man instead? Why was Joel being so out of character telling strangers who he was? Why would anyone in their right mind let a pregnant woman go on patrol? Wouldn’t it be extremely Irresponsible for Ellie and Dina to live by themselves with a baby? They add in slight lgbt problems and a trans character which normally I wouldn’t mind, but feels slightly out of place for a post apocalyptic world. Gameplay is really impressive but gets tedious and boring when your character is alone scrounging with no companion to banter with. Also definitely not a fan of the ending and where they’re going to take the sequel if they make one. Expand

    Insanely hard story to tell, which requires a lot of maturity to understand. although at first it seems unbalanced, it manages to do what so many games fail to with so much gritty content; tell a complex story with intertwining themes so strong you not only see the reasoning of your characters actions but feel the consequences/guilt/shame of them as well.
    Overall it was 2 sides of the same

Los gráficos de este juego me parecen impresionantes sí, pero el resto es decepcionante, después de 7 años desde el primer juego había mucho que contar sobre el pasado de Joel, sobre el tema de la cura, etcétera, sin embargo se han fijado en mayor parte en una nueva historia.
    Además había mucha polémica que no tenía que ver con el juego, los que conocíamos The last of us 1 conocimos un juego que se basaba en una buena historia, sin más.
    Además, los tráilers que sacaban al final resultaban siempre ser montajes, haciéndonos pensar que en el juego íbamos a estar mucho más con Joel cuando todo eso ha sido falso, nos han engañado y me parece mal porque hemos pagado por lo que nos habían enseñado, si luego resulta que todo lo que han enseñado es mentira pues se han quedado con nuestro dinero y nosotros nos hemos quedado decepcionados.
    Por otra parte, me parece horrible tener que pasarte la mitad del juego con la persona que ha matado a un personaje muy querido.
    Y el juego quiere enseñar que la violencia y la venganza no es la solución, a través de que te pasas todo el juego matando a un montón de gente que no conoces de nada y que en verdad no te han hecho nada a tí directamente, para al fin llegar a la persona que de verdad te ha hundido la vida y dejarla en paz, es decir que todo lo que haces en el juego y todo lo que pierdes, arriesgas y matas por el camino es en vano.
    En conclusión me parece que se tendrían que haber centrado en la historia del primer juego sin tanta polémica y no nos deberían de haber engañado.

Normally that would be a good thing, but with how bad the story is and how much you'll end up hating the characters for either being sadistic and unsympathetic or just complete morons to make the plot move forward, the length becomes a burden. It's probably the longest Naughty Dog game to date, and the payoff is nonexistent. The ending is terrible, there's no multiplayer like in the first game, and playing the game from start to finish feels like a chore. I had to intersperse my play through with intentionally killing the new ma'am at every opportunity just to get some satisfaction over this. Spare yourself the $60 and just watch spoilers online if you're really curious. But you're better off just enjoying the first game and pretending like this one doesn't exist.

    One can clearly see Druckmann's sentiments with Bruce Straley's creation, the beautifully written TLOU 1 and Joel/Ellie, that he despised the great universe he inherited. He took characters that provided hope and an interesting story only to twist it, by being needlessly violent and sadistic, in a pathetic and useless way, with his storytelling.

    Some things that the hitchhiker Druckmann did, thinking he was being clever. (After all his in-game trading card had him "Brain 100"):

    -Fabricating footage in the trailers, swapping character models, and claiming that Ellie is the only playable character(as well as his co-director Anthony Newman claiming you don't have to kill dogs but there's an unavoidable QTE) -> Failed.

    As Druckmann said in an interview "Protect the story" but a leaker foiled that disgusting, money-grubbing tactic of "wanting the cake and eating it too" i.e lying to the fans "Hey I made a game that honors the first one" in hopes of getting their money, whilst simultaneously pushing your own second-rate narrative and pandering messages. The leaker, in a heroic manner, saved many people from spending money on the sequel that does nothing but spit on them, yet Naughty Dog did their best "to save fans from spoilers" by DMCA striking every single YouTube/Reddit/Twitter account to prevent their False Advertising and sleazy marketing from being exposed prior to release.

    -Add 12 hours of gameplay from the perspective of an NPC's daughter/Joel's killer in hopes that the player realises Abby's humanity and empathises with her. Even went as far as to make it very difficult for Ellie not to kill every dog she encounters and have Abby pet and play with dogs with ease. Even went as far as to rewrite the incompetence, desperation, and barbarity of the Fireflies from the original TLOU 1 - in hopes of letting the player forget the voice notes/documents found showing how foolish the so-called vaccine plan was - to paint Joel as a selfish, cruel, man. -> Failed.

    Abby playthrough was, as a whole, a chore, a bore, and an uninspiring, unrealistically built, character. that not only had no qualms with killing her own people days after meeting the 2 seraphite exiled kids Lev/Yara, but had no qualms banging a man with a pregnant girlfriend. Such a poorly written, bottom of the barrel, character having half the game's playtime doesn't surprise me when an incompetent director is in charge of a large, heavily awaited, sequel. Druckmann flopped under pressure and succumbed to his inferiority.

    Anyways, the appreciation of this story solely relies on your ability to relate to an NPC's daughter avenging her father that wanted to murder an unconcious child, without her consent, for chances at a so-called vaccine, with a bunch of side characters that get got and a few meaningful ones.

    No one, one the score scale, is really arguing about the beauty/music/gameplay/graphics of this game as that's top-notch. Because those people did their due diligence in making sure their job is done properly. It seems the story director for this game Hitchhiker Druckmann, was caught up his own arse for so long, he forgot he had to come up with a decent script up until release.

    Remember folks, never trust trailers, or any promotional material from these game companies. Never trust, always verify. There won't always be a based leaker that saves you from the greatest sleazy scummy act, like Naughty Dog tried to pull, with regards to other wanna-bes

    Forced narrative and awful divisive content and the story was terrible - half of the game was playing with some character you absolutely detest.

    This piece of software was designed to cause outrage and massive dislike. This is unfair to all those who bought this thinking they were getting a Joel and Ellie sequal (just like the trailers alluded to).

    The game play began to get very repetitive and didn't need to be 20 hours long. Naughty Dog have obviously dropped the ball on this one. Such a shame a this was almost guaranteed to print money.

Don't waste your money on this ****, the game is also being mass returned and refunded here in Australia to the point where stores aren't accepting any more copies. You can safely say **** Naughty Dog as a company with this title, don't support them or this death of a franchise. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um jogo fora de série, superou as expectativas, lógico que não esperava pela morte do Joel, foi uma grande reviravolta e uma grande emoção, estava esperando por ele aparecer, infelizmente não aconteceu, mais não devemos ter medo de fazer grandes mudanças, afinal, grandes mudanças nos levam a grandes vitórias, cada fase me deixava mais empolgado para ver o que estaria por vir, depois de dias jogando e aproveitando essa grande obra de arte só espero pela parte III, THE BEST GAME EVER!!!

    The game looks and feels like a perfect game, but sadly the story is such a mess, that i had no joy at playing this game at all.

    Graphics and design is a 10/10 for me. Story is really a 2/10. What makes it even more worse is the false marketing and bait, which makes the game even more unsatisfying. The whole LGBTQ thing seemed so forced and unnatural, that i felt more like a message than

    Story is really a 2/10.

    What makes it even more worse is the false marketing and bait, which makes the game even more unsatisfying. The whole LGBTQ thing seemed so forced and unnatural, that i felt more like a message than a story. At the end of the day I feel betrayed and discouraged. I wish I would have never played this game ever in my life.

    It leaves me no choice to give this "game" a 1/10.

    Unbelievably disappointing and heartbreaking. I returned the game and will never purchase another title from this studio or Druckmann. I have never seen such horrible writing, pacing, and tone. They spit in the face of the fans and destroyed the characters we loved for nothing more than the furtherance of the creators ego.

    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]
