I went into TLOS:II with the previous game being my favorite of all time but this one (Part II) left me a wreck and one of the most moving gaming experience of my life. Everything from the gameplay, to environment design, to acting and story are truly the best in the business, a masterclass for Naughty Dog again.

    It's such a shame so many are criticizing this in such bad bad faith. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T "AGREE" WITH STORY CHOICES DOES NOT MAKE BAD WRITING. It's so clear since the release that the leaks (and the month afterwards) festered fans groupthink and confirmation bias into bombing a labor of love for thousands of people. No amount of context could ever change their opinion, which is such a shame.

    Main character development - I just don't feel em. They are not natural.

    Awkward scenes - death of Joel as a father figure, sex scene of Abby - its like some damaged person worked on plot. Sorry for harsh words. But its like that.

    Ending - It's like killing Bill, w/o killing Bill.    … Expand

    This game is absolute trash. The graphics are great and the gameplay is good, but what made the first one so great was the narrative and the story which this game fails hard. Save your money and just consider this bad fan fiction.

    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

    I wanted to like this game. I fell in love with the original for its story and atmosphere. It was something the had been done before in games, but the sum of its parts made it a game that for me was almost a 10/10 for me. When I heard that the sequel was finally coming out I was ecstatic. I was wanting to see the rest of the story of Joel and Ellie.

    Then the leaks came out...oh boy the    I wanted to like this game. I fell in love with the original for its story and atmosphere.

I was wanting to see the rest of the story of Joel and Ellie.

    Then the leaks came out...oh boy the leaks. I don't give a crap if a character is gay or trans, but what matters is that they are wrote as a human being first not just some token character that we get so much of in today's media, but what we got was this....trainwreck.

    As I said I wanted to like this game, I really did. This game had the potential to tell a great story. It tells a story, but the story it tells fell flat for me. Without going into details, I love a revenge plot. I have seen so many in movies and other games, but this one dropped the ball hard. However, I am not wanting to spoil the game for anyone out of respect for the players, not the company or its marketing.

    This could have been a great sequel if it wasn't handled so poorly. Abby could have been a good character if they handled it better, Joel was all-but squandered, but Ellie I enjoyed. It was good to see her grow up, but then the last half of the game.....urgh.

    That's why I have to give this game a 4. Graphically its fine, a good 7 out of 10, Gameplay is the same 7 out of 10, Story is an abysmal 3 out of 10. If this was a different IP I might have scored it higher with a 5 out of 10 or a 6. Yet, this is not a new IP. This is a sequel to one of the best games I have played and one that I have finished more than once just to find things i may have missed the first time. Sequels will always be judged more harshly by the fans of the previous installment. Many sequels will never be as good or even greater than the original.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of the first game and as someone who read the leaks and thought they were terrible, I really felt the game was amazing on playing it.

    The common criticisms are easily rebuked. Joel gave his name because A) Tommy already did so when they first encountered Abby, so he couldn't lie and B) He hasn't been a gruff, distrusting bad ass for years now. He's a community man who has another daughter, so he's going to soften up and in general just be nicer! He's the Joel from the prelude of the first game, again.

    The story isn't about revenge alone, that's only the first layer. It's about how love conquers it, as we saw with Abby's arch with Lev and Ellie forgiving Joel at the very end. Ellie sparing Abby isn't FOR Abby, it's Ellie forgiving herself and Joel for never making amends over the lies about the Fireflies. That's what was driving Ellie more than anything; her hatred of herself for not giving Joel a chance soon enough. By the end she's able to reconcile with that, regain her humanity, accept her dues, and move forward.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i am giving this a 3 for the amazing job the naughty dog team did when it comes to environments, graphics, sounds and fluent combat mechanics, otherwise it would've been a 0/10. its sad to think how really talented people can make such a visual and audio masterpiece just so someone like neil turn it into a huge pile of crap.
    1. you have to be brain dead to think that people had issues with lesbians, transgender or male characters dying. those who had this sort of issues are frustrated people that have literally no right to have an opinion in any point of view (not only this game), so they can keep their hate and beliefs to themselves.
    i have been a fan of the first the last of us game since the release. i was too poor to get a ps3 so i had to wait to play it when i got my first ps4 (offering an amazing experience as a remastered product). When the last of us 2 came out, i tried my best to stay away from the spoilers and was pretty disappointed with everybody hating the game (for reasons i honestly didn't understand). So dodging any unofficial information as much as possible. In meantime i preordered the game and followed whatever official news i could find, everything getting me more and more hyped! I started praising this game everywhere i could... till the last 5 minutes of gameplay...
    as we are living in an era where you don't play videogames just for the sake of doing it (like we did in the past), story plays a huge role in the gaming industry.
    so, after playing the first game for like 3 times, i got into the last of us 2 with a pretty huge emotional baggage, hoping to hop into a new adventure with ellie and joel.
    unfortunately that was not the case... grabbing the controller for the first 2 hours i fell in love with the world the game had to offer. was sad a bit i did not get to spend that much time with joel but i was ok with it... "its a big game, there's plenty of time...". till there's not...
    i don't want to dive that much into the story so i will get here what naughty dog could've done and what i really hated about it.
    1. don't make joel and tommy act out of their character. they made them look STUPID. joel was the most cautious and smart character in game (his brother as well). are you going to tell me that they will go in a house full of strangers and they'll tell them their names in the first 10 seconds of their encounter??? no god damn way! that's trash writing there. how to fix it? make abby save joel's life. then he can be grateful for it and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE i can believe that he can blindly trust her and leave his guard down... or if you're leaving it like that, at least give abby a interior conflict. like "joel saved my life, what if he's not a bad guy??". i was pissed about my favorite character dying, but i could understand the way things were going (or at least i thought i did).
    2. don't push abby down my throat for 10+ hours as a playable character after she murdered joel in that brutal manner. solution to this problem? kill joel later. use those nice flashbacks of ellie and joel at the beginning of the game and put them on the same time with abby's flashbacks (one at a time). this way you create a profound sense of loss for joel but in the same time create empathy for abby. because (and sorry for the language), i couldn't give a single **** about whatever you throw at me about abby after what she done. don't just throw flashbacks everywhere and expect people to understand that abby is human as well. WE KNOW THAT ALREADY NAUGHTY DOG.
    3. don't make me fight ellie with abby. nobody wanted that and people hated abby even more when she found out that dina was pregnant and she said "GOOD!" with a sick smile on her face! you try to humanize her but in the same time its obviously that she's a cold hearted murderer.
    the thing i hated the most about the last of us 2 story. THE ENDING. all that propaganda about "revenge is bad" while murdering hundreds of people and having literally all your friends die shows up front how poorly written is this story.
    for you as a real life person, put yourself in ellie's shoes with all the emotional, physical, psychical baggage and the ability to get that revenge on the person that killed the closest thing to a father (being forced to watch the entire brutal scene happen). please tell me you'd stay right in front of that person (after killing hundreds of people) and just say "i'm ending this here! leave! revenge is bad!".
    the last of us 2 is dark, cruel and brutal. an ending with ellie "finding the light" out of nowhere is literally garbage. solution? make 2 endings and let people chose how they feel about it. (not that hard).
    i know that there are people out here thinking that they smart for finding out the whole "secret meaning" of the game.
    if the last of us 2 would've been a stand alone game, would've been awesome! being a sequel of the masterpiece the first game was, this game is an offense to everybody that loved the first game    … Expand

    Complice di una così forte immersività è un gameplay che sfiora la perfezione, movimenti di una fluidità che lascia a bocca aperta e sopratutto un sistema di combattimento e/o stealth trattato in maniera eccellente, donando non solo numerose ore effettive di gioco ma invogliando all'esplorazione, ma anche ad unire sia l'approccio casinaro, sia quello silenzioso, mai vincolando ad uno o all'altro.
    Il mio voto va di poco sotto al dieci dato che non non mi sono imbattuto mai in nulla di fastidioso o che rovinasse il gameplay, ma preferisco arrotondare al 10 piuttosto che al nove

The gameplay was fun at times (around 1/8th of the game), the AI were smarter than in the last game, and it is visually pleasing. So, I will rate it a 3 just for that alone. but... the story and the golf club just ruined it all. If I were to rate it on the story alone, it would get an honest 0. It wasn't the politics or social commentary that was in the game that ruined it for me. I just wish Joel was around a LOT more, and if we just had to play as Abby, play her in the beginning so you can actually get to sympathize with her instead of having her almost immediately murder a beloved character in her introduction.

    What can I say? A game I have been waiting for a long time TLOU2 is here and after a full play through I have been let down.

    Now that’s not to say the game is without its merits. The most beautiful game I have ever seen beating RDR2 which is a great effort. Also the gameplay is just as good as the first game.

    I only encountered 2 graphic issues. One during a nest in the hotel the game slowed down to a stutter and I felt like I was moving in slow motion for ten minutes. The other was during a cutscene late on in the game a character had been holding a brick but was comforting another so that brick was stuck in his face making me miss all the facial expressions.

    The game is dark and I don’t just mean some of the creepy locations. It’s graphic from drug use to sex scenes and oh the violence. The game is filled with it most of the time it’s though provoking but it lays on some senseless deaths of main characters that happen in a split second for shock value.

    The characters are incredible and are a joy to witness. Ellie, Joel, Dina, Tommy, Jesse and even Abby, Owen and Mel are all superb. I thoroughly enjoyed playing as Ellie and her interactions with her lover and friends.

    My first 15 hours of gameplay I would of been giving this game a 9 out of 10. Then a switch happened. I’m sure I know what they were trying to do. It just doesn’t work. I have never played a character that I truly didn’t care if they die. The next ten hours where spent feeling forced to desperately like someone I was willing to throw of a high building over and over again. The story dips from there and I played through the worst boss fight in history. After feeling so disheartened the game gives you what you believe is an escape.

    Only to then disappoint you with the finale. It drags the whole story down to feeling like the whole thing doesn’t matter and becoming a waste of your time. I so wish they had ended it at the 15 hour mark with an incredible ending. Instead they drag you kicking and screaming for another 14 hours to such an anti climatic and sad ending it may make you question playing a naughty dog game again.

    Don’t play this game with mental health issues. There is no happiness or justice or light. It’s depressing.    … Expand

Achei o jogo incrível,mas reconheço alguns problemas que ele tem,o gameplay pra mim está ótimo,mais polido e fluido em relação ao primeiro jogo,gráfico 10/10,notei poucos bug no jogo,nada que atrapalhasse nada,no máximo foram bugs de iluminação ou eu clicar no botão de ação e o personagem trava por uns 5 segundos,The Last of Us part 2 é um jogo para ser jogado de mente aberta,não deixe seu protagonismo estraga uma história excelente,mas é claro que isso é só a minha opinião,você só vai saber se o jogo é bom,jogando.

    *Spoiler*
    Sobre a história,na minha primeira jogada eu tinha me irritado com a personagem Abby,foi difícil gostar da personagem,mas conforme eu fui rejogando eu acabei simpatizando com ela,apesar da forma brutal que ela matou Joel,eu consegui entender as motivações dela,e nao deixei meu protagonismo pelo personagem estragar a minha experiência,como a de muita pessoas clamam tanto, a morte de joel é o primeiro passo pra história,não conseguiria ver outra motivação para Ellie sem ser a morte de Joel,acho que o problema que muitos dizem do game é a forma que foi efetuada,de fato incomoda um pouco ,mas isso não me fez odiar o jogo,joel foi descuidado,ele vivia em plena mordomia na cidade de Tommy,ele não é mais o mesmo personagem do primeiro jogo,ele é um ser humano,e humanos cometem erros,esse deslize foi acima de tudo o que causou sua morte.
    No fim, é uma história de vingança continua,Joel mata o pai de Abby,e Ellie vai busca por vingança,a morte de joel acaba gerando a morte dos amigos de Abby e de Ellie,mas no fim ela consegue perdoar a Ellie e deixá la ir embora,o mesmo acontece com Ellie no fim do jogo,ir atrás de Abby faz ela perder tudo,assim como Abby ir atrás de Joel(sobrando somente Lev)a morte de Abby não traria joel de volta,muito menos faria diferença,só causaria mais dor e sofrimento a ela e a outras pessoas.
    No fim do primeiro jogo,joel faz de tudo para não perder outra "filha”,nesse processo fez uma filha perder um pai,essa troca de perspectiva foi o que fez pra mim esse jogo ser ótimo,adorei estar na jogar com duas personagens,por mais que o fim seja de partir o coração ,fico com minha nota 10 para o jogo.    … Expand

    Bad story, bad plot, lots of visual bugs, this game look and feel like a movie, a 30 hours story that could be told in 10 hours or even less. The world is very bad designed, comparising with the first game, and look even worse in a base ps4. I finished this game and I don't get what is the point, "Revenge is bad, forgive is good"? Don't buy this game, it's a total waste of money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It really is a shame that the leaks occured and prevented so many people from enjoying this game spoiler free. Or just flat-out refusing to give it a chance. The metacritic review bombing is childish, and so boringly predictable with it. It says more about outrage culture than anything else, and the lack of nuance allowed in mainstream entertainment.

    We're not 'owed' anything, in terms of story. So what Naughty Dog have done here, on the back of a very simple story in Part 1, is tell a story they wanted to tell. Not only that, but they have done it more intelligently. Both parts share the fact that they are essentially character-driven narratives, which is always the best basis for a successful story. When I saw in the leaks that you ended up playing as Joel's murderer, my first instinct was how bold a choice that was. While others were upset, I was more intrigued by the fact that they had made this choice in the first place, and that it wouldn't be a rote action sequel. ND were going to try something different, and I applauded that, while also being intrigued about whether they could pull it off, because if not, then yes, it really would fall flat.

    So, you play as Joel's murderer and the challenge ND set themselves was to turn around the player's viewpoint so far that you might begin to empathise or even like this new Abby character. BOLD. Know what may have been bolder? Player choice at the end, and an in-built prompt that told ND the result. Did the player choose to kill Abby, or let her go? The results would've been interesting, and may even have validated their story choice to an extent.

    But this isn't the player's journey. So having that option taken out of your hands, much like at the end of part 1, just emphasises that point. These aren't your characters. They're not mine. We're watching what they do. Good entertainment often makes us squirm, or uncomfortable - not enough games do that, so to have one that does, and may even make you want to turn off, is a brave developer choice. People can be mad about it; see the leaks and boycott it, but this boldness is something missing from what has become more and more an adult medium. More adults play games than children, so to have a mainstream game that challenges in terms of story, and not just violence, gore, gameplay and puzzles, is welcome.

    Do they pull it off? In the final standoff, would I have let Abby go or kill her? I would've let her go. Without experiencing Abby's arc, would I have let her go? Well, that's an interesting thought too. By the end, Ellie is shattered; both of you have slaughtered hundreds to get there, and gone through emotional turmoil - Ellie's character design at the end is shocking, as she's verging on anorexic. You can see the impact of all that hate and anger. So yeah, maybe seeing that Abby is looking after Lev (which adds to the guilt), and Ellie's own struggle at the time, might've been enough to let Abby go, even without experiencing her arc.

    As an aside, while mentioning character design, I think it has to be hats off to the dev team for Abby's design. The braid and muscle, two simple things, combine to make an immediately exceptional design. You only need to find the spoiler memes across the net to see how it captures something unique. Hats off too to not overplaying the muscles - a lot of Abby's character is inferred, and there's something human about a little girl burning her anger with muscle-building so that when the time comes for revenge, she is more than ready for it. The fact she is NOT trans, or gay, but just a muscled woman, also serves to expose the ludricrousness of the review bombs that talk about pushing some form of agenda.

    The only agenda, when it comes to the main characters, is diversity. Outside of the bubble of Joel's murder, Abby would've been (and was anyway) a kick-ass character to play. Women can be muscley too. And gays exist. It doesn't need saying, but for some people, it does. Creating a game with a diversity of main characters, especially one so in the public eye, is overwhelming inclusive. It helps normalise diversity. The more this is done, the better.

    Though the harder the push-back (see: the review-bombs).

    Is the story perfect? No. It falls foul of its own realism. In many games you wouldn't think too hard about characters coming and going, but here, after you've struggled through infected and armies, and just struggled to even find a path at times, it felt incongruous to have characters suddenly find you. That anyone wants to live in, let alone fight over, Seattle, is also unrealistic. However, everything mentioned, combined with beautiful environments and exciting, accessible, varied, FUN gameplay, make this game 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most heart-wrenching game I have ever played. An absolute masterpiece.

    First off, Joel deserved to die. I hate to say it, but it's the truth. Joel not only brutally murdered Abby's only parent but also ruined any chance of the world returning to normal. One death could have saved millions. I understand the anger after Joel died, I was angry too. I sobbed. But after playing as Abby for numerous hours, I began to understand what Naughty Dog was trying to tell us. Abby got the same kind of sick revenge that Ellie spends the entire game doing. And in the end, Ellie has to deal with what her greed has brought her. This is not a cheery game, I don't understand why people expected it to be that. Why would Naughty Dog give you exactly what we expected? Every moment of this game was another suprise, and I loved it. This game is in no way predictable.

    And to everyone who has an issue with Ellie's sexuality, keep it to yourself. I know it may be a suprise lesbians exist, but you'll have to deal with it. Anyways, why are you suprised? If you played the extra for tlou1, you would have already known Ellie was a lesbian. I personally loved this game. I would recommend it to anyone who loved tlou1. Most of the bad reviews are from those who 1) have not finished the game, 2) cant deal with Ellie being a lesbian, or 3) are die-hard fans of Joel. This game is brutal. But tough it out, you'll love it. Trust me, I had my doubts. I stuck through it though, and I'm so glad I did.    … Expand

    Neil Druckmann is an egotistical moron who ruined this franchise, and will most assuredly take Naughty Dog down along with it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *My first recommendation to someone looking to play this game, replay the first game before playing this. I think it really makes all the moments in the first half of the game feel even more powerful than they already are.*

    I think this game is getting way too bad of a wrap from a lot of people who either
    A) read the spoilers and never even gave the game a playthrough or..
    B) watched a streamer speed run it, paying zero attention to what the game was trying to portray

    It goes without saying that the graphics and gameplay are incredible as you would expect from this game, but this obviously isn't everyone's problem with the game.
    Joel: for everyone complaining about Joel's death, replay the first game before you play this and try not to get so mad when your favorite character dies (I don't remember people crying when Ned Stark got his head chopped off). Joel serves as a catalyst for Ellie's story in this game and it his death was very emotional for me keeping in mind a played both games back to back. This probably made it a more impactful death.
    Abby: by far the best part of this game (very controversial apparently). Her story is very similar to Joel's in the first game where she starts off very dehumanized because of your hatred for her after she kills Joel, but as the game goes on she regains a lot of that humanity (in the same way as Joel) by her protection of Yara and Lev. Everyone seems to be so blinded by their hatred for Abby that they refuse to even attempt to let Abby grow on them, and by that point, you can't ever develop an honest opinion on the game.
    Ellie: they push Ellie's bloodlust so far in this game that I began to dislike Ellie which I think was the entire point. i think you're supposed to see Ellie as unreasonable in her quest for revenge primarily to make you better understand Abby's side. Especially with Ellie going back to try kill Abby again at the end, it becomes so psychotic that you just start to lose it at Ellie, she has a family to look after now and she is selfish enough to still go for revenge. It's effective in the way that by the very end you don't want to kill Abby whereas I'm sure we all would've loved to at the start.
    Flashbacks: really effective for both characters development, especially Ellie's at the end of the game which helps you empathize with Ellie again

    Problems:
    A) The ending isn't the best, although I'm not annoyed that badly that Ellie goes back for Abby in the end, I think her forcing Abby to fight her was crazy as **** and probably too far. I think by that point Ellie should've just let her go straight up and that would've been more effective in resolving their conflict (Abby had already suffered enough by that point).
    B) The ordering is a bit off, I think it could've been interesting to put Abby's portion right after she kills Joel and maybe you would've felt more conflicted about Ellie taking revenge when you actually play as her rather than after the fact. But even if they changed this I think most people would still hate Abby irrationally.
    C) in playing as Abby for so long you do get a little lost in what Ellie is even fighting for (mainly just a problem with the massive gap in time between playing as Ellie and Abby)

    TL;DR
    An overall really solid game with some flaws that are way overstated. Abby is easily the best part of the game and stole the show for me. The game fails with redeeming Ellie's actions as she becomes more and more obsessed with revenge (which was probably the point). And no, there is no SJW agenda in this game, anyone saying that is probably just scared of gay and non-gender conforming people.    … Expand

It is a deep story about emotional trauma and the deadly cycle of vengeance that will continue endlessly until someone chooses to rise above it and move on. The graphics get a nice boost from the first game, the game world is much more explorable, and full of Easter eggs to other naughty dog IPs. All of the characters are like able. Including Abby and her friends. I hate what they did, but I did enjoy my time with them. The only thing that I really did not like, and will certainly be a turn off for some people,is that Alice, a good girl German Shepard, is unavoidably killed by the player.… Expand

They took everything that made the first one a masterpiece and just threw it in the trashcan. This is a failure in storytelling a disrespectful to the OG one and to us the players. Nothing makes sense. The whole game just tries to introduce us to a new character without giving it any dimension while the game tries super hard to just trash Elie for no reason. If at least they tried to give Abby dimension, character development instead of just making her a zebra savior and dog person. I can't believe they managed to ruin this game. I was defending the game until half when I saw that instead of choosing the path of good writing they chose the path of trying to manipulate the players. This is one of the most poorly written game I have ever played and the biggest game disappointment ever. I'm mad I threw my money away for that crappy game. I will never buy an ND game ever again.

    But this game's story does a huge disservice to the game and sucks out all the fun. They tried to make the story special but instead made the biggest disappointment of a sequel ever.
    I enjoy sad stuff but this game is just misery. An inconclusive misery. The game tries to set itself apart but sacrifices all the buildup and the positives the franchises had. The game is emotional only on a superficial level. But it is good at misdirecting people with depressive stuff. The main character of previous story is sacrificed for shock value and we get a mediocre story in return. It results in his overall story being meaningless just to serve as a plot point.
    This mediocre revenge trope is supposed to have some deeper meaning but it fails at that too. What is the point of deeper meaning when life or death gets decided by luck. Revenge is bad? Not if you are lucky and those whom you wanted to exact revenge on are unlucky. You should forgive others? Not if others aren't main characters. The cycle of revenge is still going on because you killed others along the way and people close to those you killed can still come to direct revenge at you. Also the story has plotholes.
    Characters and their intentions are contradictory. There are elements of the game which are mind-blowing but the whole game is super disappointing.
    I don't recommend this game to the true fans of the original TLOU and those who loved the original characters.

    The story needs to be understood. You need to pay attention to the sequence of events so you can appreciate the brilliance of the storytelling for this game.

    I want to replay it again but the story hits me hard, that I need to cope with this feeling for days before I will do my second playthrough. I already have beaten the game in survivor though.

    The story is soul-crushing, it cuts deep. You will wish you have taken this action instead of that because, in the blink of an eye, that opportunity could be lost.

    This game is mainly about Ellie's relationship with Joel. Secondly, this game is all about the act of "that" that every person has.

    If you play the game, you will understand why Ellie is eager to seek revenge despite what happened that night prior to Joel's death (this is on the last minutes of the game).

    The ending is more bittersweet than the first one that I really wish there will be a part 3. I feel how Ellie feels right now.

    [Good]

    Attack dogs
    Enemies improved a lot compared to the first game, they will try to get behind your back.
    Stalkers fully realized in this game, I've never seen a stalker on the first game.
    I like how they added hand to hand combat. I wish they will improve this on the next one "hopefully"
    Graphics - do I need to say more?

    [Bad]
    I encounter a bug in the aquarium after I fell from the vent.
    Abby's movement feels clunky sometimes, sometimes it will cause your death.
    The weapon slotting is quite confusing

    I'm glad that I never turned my back on this game despite all the bad impressions it got over the last couple of months. I hold my trust to Naughty Dog and they never failed to impress me yet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished the game. Having been developing indie video games for almost 9 years, I can confirm that although the graphics, sound design, gameplay mechanics, and the soundtrack is 10/10, the way that the story is implemented is not good at all. If you're planning to kill a legendary character(you don't actually have to), kill it in a legendary way. Joel is a character that everyone loves and cares about. People who have waited for 7 years for this game are disappointed and the game is not worth a dime from their perspective. This game is a storytelling game and without a proper story, even though all the aspects are perfect, it doesn't appeal to us. We should not be forced to play as a character that we don't like either. This game could've been at least a tiny bit better if it gave us choices at the critical points along with the story so that we could either save Joel or lose him because of making a mistake. There are many games out there that implemented the butterfly effect. No doubt that Naughty Dog could've done it as well. I guess it's all the director's fault.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review contains spoilers. So I got the game early and played it. I read or saw no spoilers before the release. I never do.

    So here is what I think:

    Pros:
    - gameplay
    - graphics
    - atmosphere
    - sound
    - music

    All those parts are undeniable very good. Its top notch. Sure the controls sometimes feel weird but they do in most of the games. It would be unfair to say this game isnt up to date in terms of all those points I mentioned.

    Cons:
    - story
    - character design
    - character development
    - plot holes

    So, even with all the pros this game is really really bad. It makes NO sense that Ellie act how she acts in certain parts of the game but that isnt even the biggest thing about why its bad.
    The reason is: character development.
    If you kill one of the most beloved characters early in the game (Joel) and want to bring in new main playable characters like Abby, you HAVE to bring WAY more backstory in order to make the player feel with her.
    I mean she KILLED Joel!
    How do you make the player like her? Bring more and more backstory before she does that. Let the players play 2-10h as Abby when she was a child or whatever. The backstory of her is basically told in 10minutes and then her dad is being killed. Thats it? And now I have to feel with her and understand why she killed Joel?
    Hell no!
    That is weak story telling. Really really weak.

    Then there are all the other new characters. Nobody is likeable. Like really. They all feel empty. They are only shells without any meaning.

    This game is just bad. Do yourself a favor and dont buy it. The reviews the journalists wrote are either bought by Sony or ND or are heavily politicly influenced. Sad thing is: because of that same journalists will most likely make this game GOTY. What a joke.

    Safe your money and buy something else.

    And last but not least: this is technically a very good game but the story/characters is/are SO bad it just doesnt matter how well the rest is done.

    You want a good revenge story? Watch "Oldboy" then you know how to make a good revenge story that shocks everybody to their core.

    This game right here? Its garbage.    … Expand

И не взирая на то, что Элли возможно это ключ к спасению миллионов жизней, происходит то роковое событие в больнице Святой Марии, которое запустит цикл мести, которая всех погубит. К большому сожалению, правда, которая выходит наружу, оставляет Джоэла непрощённым и убитым. Элли, и ее посттравматический синдром, опускает ее на дно морали, жажда отмщения вызывает помутнение рассудка, и она превращается в убийцу, которая в итоге все теряет - друзей, любовь и вероятно смысл, так как месть по итогу не состоялась, а Джоэла, вероятно, она не успела простить. Ближе к концу хотелось сказать, а не пора ли тебе уже остановиться? Я считаю, что в финальной драке она не стала убивать Эбби, так как увидела в ней и Льве себя и Джоэла. Эбби потеряла отца, а далее и друзей, ее мотив прост и понятен, а то, что она и ее группа оставили Томми и Элли в живых, говорит о ее моральных принципах, которые демонстрируются на протяжении игры. Прошу заметить, что в театре Эбби также оставляет в живых Элли и Дину. Лев играет очень важную роль в будущей жизни Эбби, так как забота о нем - это теперь ее смысл. Эбби, как человек, вызывает симпатию и после всего случившегося за нее переживаешь больше, чем за остальных. Мне нравится Эбби так же, как и Элли. Я прошел путь от абсолютной ненависти к ней до истинного понимания и отношения к ней, и все это заслуга искусного рассказывания историй.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, I don't think this game is as bad as everyone else is pointing out to be. But it's not a masterpiece either. The graphics, the score and the gameplay are some of the best that I've ever seen/heard. The only catch is the plot. Joel's death is far-fetched, as well as the ending, and playing as Abby for half of the game was extremely boring, not because of her sections itself, but just for the character, for which I have a profound contempt for and won't ever feel for her.
    Despite that, I really loved the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie. I think they are the most interesting thing out of the entire story.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game sits somewhere between a 7 and an 8 for me. It's no where near the masterpiece that was the first game, however it brings to the realities of living in a post apocalyptic world.
    Most people hate the story, and understandably it takes away one of our favourite characters, that we've come to love over and over again with the first game. Using a character we have no knowledge or love for to kill Joel is upsetting to say the least. The game then forces you to walk a few miles in Abby's shoes, to make you feel a sort of empathy for her. Whilst I continued to dislike Abby throughout the game we saw her begin to change. Where she had been lost before, her only purpose to seek revenge, now she wants to do some good. The character building was slightly weak, she had a very back and white attitude within the first few hours of gameplay and seemed to take great pleasure in killing, which is the complete opposite to Ellie.
    Abby is somewhat a reflection of Joel. When we first met Joel he was selfish and only did something if something was in it for him. We see Joel develop over time as he is made to take Ellie on this journey. I see a lot of this in Abby when she meets Lev. Her goals and perspective changethroughout the game, and her journey becomes about hope of a new beginning.
    There are weaknesses in the story. I for one did not like the idea of trying to kill Ellie as Abby. Why the developer thought this was a good isea, I don't know. I still disliked Abby at this point and it was my least favourite part of the game.    … Expand

    I can't believe that this crappy and messy game is the sequel of the beloved and masterpiece TLOU 1. I mean WTF is this game?? I didn't hear a single music/ST in the game. It's just nonsense slow guitar sounds that i heard at the cut-scenes!

    Do you remember the first scene in TLOU1? I literally cried when Joel's daughter died in his arms. I still watch the hospital scene where Joel carry Ellie and Fireflies are shooting at them! That Soundtrack. That atmosphere. That was the game fans were expecting for 7 years!! that bond between Joel and Ellie. I mean the story made sense. You knew what characters are going to do or say based on their personality. But in TLOU2 one second the 2 main characters want to murder everyone and a second later they show mercy and be like Nah!

    The gameplay is good. Not groundbreaking but it's really enjoyable. The graphics are so so so good. If i had to only rate the visuals and gameplay this game would've been 10/10. at it's worst it would be 9.5/10. The visual and gameplay designers did a great job for this game and everyone acknowledging this.

    But the story side of the game is awful. Nothing makes sense!!

    All in all this game is a waste of time for people who cared about the story of the first game or really liked the characters in the first game. specially Joel which was the main character of the first game. But if you just want to play a game and have fun and don't care about story or characters you'll probably enjoy this game.    … Expand

    First of all the graphics, the big set pieces and acting in the game are phenomenal, no one can deny it. I really enjoy the gameplay too (some people get burned out by it but that's what happens when you play like 17 hours at a time) the visceral combat is fantastic. But what I am really impressed by is the bold direction they took with the story and the way they structured it. By the end of the game I really grew fond of Abby even though she killed Joel, one of the most beloved video game characters. And even though Ellie's story breaks my heart because I care about her so much that's what I signed up for when I play a game like this. This is a bleak world and no other games leave me devastated by the end like The Last of Us does to the point I don't feel like playing anything else for a while.
    I don't know how people were expecting for ND to just make an exact copy to the first game, that was neved going to happen. Also Ellie is not that innocent girl anymore, deal with it, this is a perfect evolution of her story.

    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

    The game takes some dodgy steps with story and character development, but before we get there, let's praise the objective extraordinary achievements elsewhere.

The detail in the environments is extraordinary with every house, office    The game takes some dodgy steps with story and character development, but before we get there, let's praise the objective extraordinary achievements elsewhere.

    Graphically it's incredible. I compared with the first game on PS3 which was also an 'end of console' title and the difference is bigger than I'd imagined. The detail in the environments is extraordinary with every house, office and shop being unique and full of environmental stories. And there are dozens and dozens of them. The frame rate is consistent. The animations are breathtaking and specifically the blending and contextualisation of actions means that the characters really seem to exist in the world.

    Audio is wonderful. I love how the floors sound different as you walk around buildings, giving a sense of architecture and physicality. The enemy barks, now personalised, along with musical stings and variable treatment of effects, perfectly communicates emotion and threat as you play. The music has a lovely duality; a kind of peace versus destruction vibe.

    Gameplay is more polished than before but much the same. It tends to suffer from presenting multiple options when really stealth is the only one that makes sense. And there's a repetition with creeping up behind enemies to stealth kill. If the enemies were a bit less lethal then other strategies might have felt more consistenly feasible. But there is at least a freshness in the contrast between encounters, achieved through level design. One encounter with enemy X will be indoors between tight spaces and occluding walls, the next time you meet enemy X will be open and flat with lots of grass.

    Ellie has new abilities which add to the variety. Running and jumping yield some brief Uncharted lite platform sections, there's the addition of a new physics rope (which is a technical marvel if not used in a particularly imaginative manner) and lying down in the grass or under cars adds some useful strategic choices.

    Crafting and resource management continues to be well balanced although a strange design choice (which I hope they patch) means you can't fill some items to max if you have 2 spaces and crafting would add 3 items.

    The story has some issues. In an alternate universe there's a Last of Us sequel that's played safe. There'd be some threat to the new town where Joel and Ellie are living. Maybe Joel is injured and Ellie has to go off and find help. Along the way she encounters people who tell her the truth about what Joel did in part 1 and Ellie faces emotional turmoil about what he's done. Now there's a chance she can still do the right thing but she must choose between going off to find the Fireflies or continuing the happy life including love interest that she's found.

    This is not the path that Naughty Dog chose, and that's not inherently a bad thing (who wants a predictable story) but it is a risky one.

    The structure of the story is a little different too. It's non-linear, with time jumps and flashbacks that occasionally add energy and pathos, but more often slow the pace and dilute character motivations. Unlike Part 1, there's less sense of meeting interesting characters along the way, with most of the cast you 'meet' having been introduced one way or another in the first hour.

    I found that unlike the strong narrative driver of part 1 (get Ellie to the Fireflies), the objective here was either entirely absent (side quests for a few days until the calendar brings the next event) or was hard to buy into. Indeed, the entire plot is driven by two decisions/impulses respectively by two major characters (guess who) which seemed out of character, especially after later flashbacks.

    To be fair, I didn't agree with a couple of Joel's choices in the first game. It's an interesting question for game designers, whether or not they need to bring an audience with them like this.

    For me it felt like they missed a chance to tell a story that could ONLY be told in their world; be it something about the virus or Ellie's gift.

    My final comment is on the violence which is so extreme and draining that I couldn't fathom the point of it all. There are videos on the internet of real human on human violence that I choose not to see. The level and amount of violence here exceeds anything on TV or film. And not only does it bother me as a player, but I also worry about ND's team, who have clearly given so much time and effort to this extraordinary world and must have had to view terrible things for months on end to deliver this.

    If there's a lot of focus above on story it's because this was a strength in part 1. But they were telling a simpler story; a giant fetch quest (take Ellies from A to B) with zombies (OK, 'infected') and interesting characters along the route. Here the ambition was larger and it may have fallen flat. That does not make the game redundant; in fact I've not enjoyed a AAA so much in years. Did they bite off more than they could chew?    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us 2 is not a bad game, it's just not a great one.
    Visually, it's stunning, I have no idea how they got these kinds of visuals out of a PS4, the sound design is also fantastic and really added to the horror of the game at times. Both these things really help to sell the atmosphere of this bleak, miserable and destroyed world. But this is pretty much where my praise ends.

    The gameplay though initially satisfying with vicious kill animations quickly gets stale when you realise that there is a single stealth take down animation and that this is just a 2013 PS3 game with a shiny new coat of paint, after 12 hours I was more then ready for it to end, but I was all too aware of the fact that this game boasts around 20 hours. I was similarly bored by the gameplay of the first game as the first time I played it was in 2019, however the story and characters made me stick around as I was engrossed in their struggle. And this is where the game's largest issues pop up.

    THE CHARACTERS are just bad, they are not interesting, they are not enjoyable to see on screen, and when eventually I kill off he vilains I feel nothing as I know nothing about them, and the game knows this, that's why we get shock twists like 'she was pregenant, aren't you a monster'. My largest issues with the characters come with Ellie, I like Ellie, but not the Ellie you play, I like Journal Ellie, because now Ellie has a journal where she draws and writes down her thoughts amongst other things, but the Ellie in the journal and in-game Ellie feel like 2 completly different characters, because Journal Ellie says a lot about how she feels, but in-game Ellie never acutally shows it, they are 2 seperate entities. You get to learn more about the characters you slaughter later in the game where you play as Abby, and this was just an absolute slog, I did not care for abby and I did not care for any of her firends, which really did not help when I was supposed to feel bad for killing them.

    The ending is also just a massive cliche like most of the story, I've seen this story before, I've seen it done far better before it's just a very generic revenge thriller.    … Expand

Сюжет неоднозначен, но имеет свой глубокий смысл, который может понять не каждый.Не знаю почему игроки так занизили оценку игре.

The way it is made in part II just doesn't feels right. Storytelling method, story as it is - they are illogical for a dark world where Ellie and Joel are placed. Main theme of part II isn't new just like an original game, but there we had brilliant story and storytelling, every character was great and feels live real. Part II have beautiful picture and nothing else. Game feels like "Snow" of Nathan Drake and Tomb Raider, but Nate left it just with graphics. It was long-long and extremely boring adventure without any single reason why it must be connected with one of a best games ever created.
    It full of lies, bugs (ya it is), illogical deaths and hurting fans feelings.    … Expand

    I really don't get the negative reviews. Many of them say "this game makes me feel bad about myself". If you're not mature enough to digest an emotionally engaging game, you should probably play Candy Crush!
    You can really enjoy this game if you approach it with an open mind and don't fear the changes. It's definitely a masterpiece.

    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]
