    While the graphics and gameplay are great, shockingly great, the story is not. In fact its horrible. You also spend way to much time as Abbey a new character that they really want you to care about. It doesn't work. The storyline is just so terrible it almost makes you want to stop playing the game. Do not waste any money on this game. It's overall a beautiful looking piece of junk.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing to say: im not a native speaker of the english language, so if i make some mistakes, forgive me. now with the rate:

    The game have very good graphics, and lovely designed ambients, it makes you feel lost even if you're always progressing in a tunnel, the character design is pretty good, and the great thing 'bout it is that every female character looks feminine without being a beauty stereotipe, and the mechanics are more or less the same with the previous game, even if the addition of the dodge move adds some variety on the bare hand combat,(even if makes it quite simple to figure it out and break the mechanic expecially in one on one situations) for what concern the story and the general internet rant about the excessive presence of sjw topics, i totally disagree, we knew that Ellie likes women since the Dlc of the first game, so no big deal (you cant say that it was forced in the game) and for what concern the character of Lev i found it quite well written, because the reason of his/her decision seemed to me more like a rebellion against his/her clan, than an lgbt thing: to me looked more or less like Mulan, ( and she was asian too) so if we axcept it from Disney we can axcept it also from Naughty Dog,
    Now bout the ending, to me it was OBVIOUS that the game didnt want you to kill Abbie but wants you to sympathize with her traumas and the loss of her father, the game wants you to see that Abbie and Ellie are 2 faces of the same coin, the product of times of terror and atrocities, and how is simple to lose yourself and to lose the ones you love, im my opinion it was a great message to give to people.
    I have some little points that i didnt liked or in my opinion could be emphatized more:
    - spend a lil more time to show the progression of the hate between Mel and Abbie (maybe with some lil flashback)
    -make a playable section of some of Ellies nightmares while she 's in the farm with Dina, to let u feel the urgency of find and Kill Abbie the last time
    -Avoid the Playable last boss fight or make it less long, and bring some more talkative content (im my opinion the game should have finished with them taking different boats without punchin eachother)
    i really dont understand all the hate by the community, you all should buy it and enjoy.
    JUST BECAUSE THE STORY DOESNT END THE WAY YOU WANTED IT DOESNT MEAN THAT THE GAME IS BAD!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you really enjoyed the first game because of how beautiful the story was and the relationships in that story, and if you found yourself attached to the characters at all, you will NOT enjoy this game nearly as much, if at all. It’s almost like the COMPLETE FORGOT why the first the last of us was so successful and adored, and has such obsessive fans. If you’re playing this game without playing the first one then it will be moving and emotional and a nice rollercoaster. But if you are playing this game off of excitement after the first game you WILL be disappointed. I played the first one with my friends and family and we all continuously said we’d love to see Ellie and Joel to grow together. And they all said there favourite character and one of the only reasons they liked the first game was because of Joel and his relationship with Ellie, then to see him die at the start of the game completely ruins the idea of the game. It’s like going on call of duty and removing all guns from the game.

    The good parts about the game I would say are the aesthetics are beautiful and it always looks amazing walking around this game, also the flashbacks to Joel and Ellie make us remember how good the game use to be and those moments were special, also playing as Abby actually was an interesting concept to see what she had gone through as well but then to put the player through the disgusting task of having to fight and beat Ellie is an awful idea, I don’t care what anybody says it is horrendous that we have to fight against the character we’ve always loved, that along with Joel’s death crushed the ratings so low. It’s not being special and unique in the story and the way it’s played it’s just being deluded. I hope they remake it and it was all a dream and they do a story at least some more of the Ellie and Joel action we all love and are not tired of as we’ve had to wait 7 years anyway it will be amazing to get some more of it in a nostalgic way.

    WHEN YOU HAVE NO TOOLS AND NO EXPECTATIONS LUCK WILL START YOUR SUCCESS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS AND ALL THE SUCCESS ONLY INTELLIGENCE WILL KEEP THE SUCCESS.    … Expand

    Naughty dog literaly abused joel to bait us, to suck our money out our pockets, cause they knew nobody wouldve bought the game if we, the audience, the fanbase knew ,the game was about emo- ellie and gorilla-abby. Also they made him dump and naive af, because they didnt come up with any better ideas of creating a plot. none of the characters choices made any sense and the ending also makes no sense at all, this is abuse and violation to the name of the last of us.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it breaks my heart to see so many negative reviews for this game.

    This is not an easy story to endure. It’s truly heartbreaking to see these characters that you’ve grown to know so well go through such pain. That being said, I would encourage anyone who thinks this story is only about revenge to give it another try with a different lens. The way I see it, when Ellie decides to not kill Abby, she’s not forgiving Abby so much as she’s forgiving Joel. The fire and pain that fuels her rampage to kill Abby is not exactly fueled by Joel’s death, but rather the pain and conflict that comes from Joel’s decision to pull her out of the hospital. Joel is a very flawed character, and he’s certainly not a hero. If Ellie had killed Abby, she would have been just as bad as Joel was. She loves Joel, but she knows his death was a consequence of his actions. She doesn’t think he deserved it, per se, but she’s just like Abby, trying to get revenge for her father’s death. If you can’t empathize with Abby, I can understand why you don’t like the game, but I would encourage you to try. I found all of the characters to be very well written and very much like real people.

    That’s my essay. The gameplay is also very fun and the graphics are stunning.    … Expand

That was not Joel at all from the previous game. He wouldn't go out like that and playing as the killer of Joel in the 2nd half of the game took the enjoyment out of it entirely. I get you wanted shock value but the order and execution was atrocious. The way you lured in fans with false advertisement expected to be a Joel and Ellie play-through..nope a completely different ordeal because you know well If Abby was going to be in the front cover it wouldn't sold as much. The one aspect the previous game made was the story and you pretty much butchered it.… Expand

    Joel muere de forma muy estúpida, prácticamente entregándose a Abby.
    Ellie deja de ser un personaje dulce y valiente, a alguien irritante e hipócrita a más no poseer.
    Dina solo existe para decir que Ellie es lesbiana, pues pues a las 5 o 6 horas de juego ya la dejas abandonada en un teatro.
    Abby es una antagonista plana y sin gracia, pues solo es una soldado más sin motivación mayor que matar a Joel. Su razón de existir es por culpa de un personaje nada importante del primer juego y eso también le resta puntos.
    Desaprovecharon por completo utilizar a Tommy durante el juego y en su lugar nos pusieron a jugar con Abby, y he aquí otro de mis problemas. Nos meten su historia en un momento interesante y nos corta por completo el rollo. ¿Por qué la necesidad de hacer la historia de Abby tan larga? Que sí, que es para empatizar con ella y todo, pero yo no quiero jugar 11 putas horas con un personaje que odio por matar a Joel, y su historia es aburrida... No nos dice nada importante, solo lo que hicieron Abby y los demás después de estar en Jackson. Eso no me interesa en lo absoluto. Después nos meten una innecesaria e incómoda escena de Abby teniendo relaciones con Owen... No tenían que hacerlo, es simplemente innecesario y asqueroso. La historia avanza un poco y tenemos que darnos de puñetazos con Ellie, dejándola casi muerta.
    Pasa un poco más de historia y vemos el como Ellie sufre por la muerte de Joel, por lo que decide buscar a Abby para matarla... Y aquí, lo peor. Su final. Ellie encuentra a Abby y no la deja ir, pues quiere matarla. Se pelea con ella en el océano y, antes de matarla, tiene un flashback que la hace dejar ir a Abby... Ole tus huevos... ¡ASÍ NO ES UN SER HUMANO! ¡UN SER HUMANO SI LA HABRÍA MATADO! Háganlo bien la próxima, joder. Ese final no sirve, sólo hace ver a Ellie más hipócrita de lo que nos habían mostrado. Después de matar a cientos de soldados WLF y a los amigos de Abby, ¿a la asesina real la dejas vivir? ¿¡Qué te pasa!? Ellie, ella casi te mata, ella mató a Joel, a Jesse, casi mata a Dina y dejó a Tommy sin un ojo. Matala joder...
    La historia de este juego es decepcionante, y va cayendo en picada con cada momento importante que pasa... Es una gran pena.    … Expand

Yo sé que da rabia no poder matar a la persona que le quitó la vida a uno de los personajes más queridos. Solo voy hablar del final. Yo, y espero que para vosotros, veo a Ellie como si fuera metafóricamente la esperanza, y Abby la humanidad. Abby es fuerte, grande y fuerte como la humanidad, Ellie es pequeña, ágil, intenta cumplir sus metas, también pese a que es débil en su interior hay fuerza. En la batalla del final, se unieron la esperanza y la humanidad, la esperanza venció por qué es lo último que se pierde en la humanidad, también Ellie le dejo libre por qué hay que seguir adelante. Ellie también en la primera parte era esperanza. Con estos términos yo me doy cuenta de que es espectacular.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soooo. First of all this is not a review bombing, thats why there is no zero rank. Well I finished the game yesterday. And for me it was awful. Don't get me wrong, not everything was awful. I loved the gameplay mechanincs, graphics, soundtrack and AI. First half was very good, I really enjoyed the game even after that horrible death of Joel. But one thing I can't get over is how stupidly the death was written. That whole situtation is so damn stupid in wider perspective of previous game and all those situations Joel and Ellie went through. Remember how Joel saw "injured" man on the road and exactly knew what that was about? He was so experienced after so many years of survival. Same for Tommy. But now? Well I'm Tommy and this is my brother Joel hello hello come to our town you really bad looking strangers. Oh and Joel, could you please stand in the middle of the room without gun in your hand just to be easy target? Thank you. I mean come on, that is really poor writing. And don't tell me that after 4 years living in the safe city BUT still going on patrols killing clickers and dangerous strangers Joel would get so soft and incatious. I won't even start about lies in the trailers, but at least they could leave Joel in game as Ellie's halucinations or something because of that PTSD. At least we would have some sort of farewell with Joel's character. 20+ hours of gameplay and there was maybe 2 hours top with Joel around or somehow included. But how could ND do worse after this I asked myself while playing. Well the other half of the game you play as this really unlikeable character Abby who murdered Joel gruesomely. Her side of story really bored. I really didn't care about her NPC father or romance with Owen etc. How could this be a good idea? I'm really sad after this waiting. If they would at least include Joel more in the story. I hope there won't be any part III. And I hope Troy Baker will play some new awesome character in a game that is not made by Naughty Dog because I really like that guy.… Expand

Such a shame as the team is talented and the first game + DLC where very strong both in pacing and story. There was also strong diversity representation in the earlier games that was done in a way that serviced the story more gracefully and did not feel like ticking a box. The characters you turn up for are treated poorly. Better handling of Elle and Joel would have left space for Abby and Lev to shine. This game tries so hard at killing their original image that it successfully takes away the charm of the reason it has been so successful, as if it is disgusted with its own DNA. It pains me to write this review and I truly hope they bring Elle back from this unnecessarily overly dark place and fix the HBO show with stronger stories. 7 years is too long to wait between most creative projects and it shows. Naughty Dog are good visual game developers but their creative narrative team have hurt themselves. Please don't send hate or any threatening reductive statements to any of the people involved in this game, it's not right and isn't helpful if you are trying to give constructive feedback to help future titles.… Expand

    Game play is the exactly the same as first one. Ok I can live with that.
    You kill Joel, ok, I also can live with that considering this game is about Ellie
    The story doesn’t make any sense at all. Let’s look at characters, so much conflicts:
    Tommy: after Joel died he tried to stop Ellie, and went after the group himself to protect Ellie, but no, later towards the end he showed up all angry and encouraged Ellie to go after Abby all by herself Ellie: kill hundreds to just spare Abby
    Abby’s Dad: what a lovely caring person saving a Zebra in the forest, then 2 seconds later he insisted to murder Ellie, won’t listen otherwise Abby and Owen, I really don’t know their story, why they broke up? Why they back together?
    Ending: when Ellie decided to kill Abby, she didn’t just shoot her? Abby shot Joel in surprise right after Joel saved her, so she deserve a fair fight? Besides, how could Ellie think she could take Abby down with her bare hands? She already been beaten twice before, why she think she can win this time with a very bad injury? All just doesn’t make sense. I try to like it, but I can’t , Because, I’m not stupid. Thanks for ruining the last of us, well done.    … Expand

    I can’t imagine how a wonderful storyline game in 1st part can be this worse in the 2nd part, we waited for 7 years to play again with the characters that we loved and it was a shock.
    Anyway the gameplay is good the graphics is great but none of these can make a difference for me because we loved LOU for the story.

    We could explore the relationship between adult Ellie and Joel and we will never get that again. All because the writers were so desperate to subvert expectations and feed us a bad story and at the same time boast about their horrible writing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, I can understand why people disliked the game: there were some obvious continuity errors with certain characters and some character decisions were questionable given their previous actions in the first game. As well as that, the killing spree that Ellie goes on after the introduction could have been adjusted to fit better with the ending; it didn't really make sense for Ellie to do what she did in the end given everything she had done in the lead-up to it.
    However, the story in itself whilst emotionally harrowing and uncomfortable to say the least, did achieve Naughty Dog's goal (which they were vocal about well before release). The ideas of the cycle of violence through the search for revenge was really well developed and was really effective. The attempt to end this cycle at the end of the game was handled poorly in the terms of player satisfaction, but really well in terms of demonstrating the impacts of endless violence and how Ellie actually achieved her greatest fear "of ending up alone."
    Player satisfaction is obviously one of the most important points when critiquing a game and clearly there were some problems here, however they all served to further the story and Naughty Dog's goal. The improved gameplay mechanics and stunning graphics coupled with brutal gore and realism made for a really exciting, shocking and gruesome playthrough. The way that the different difficulties allowed for more versatility in gameplay and encounter options was really awesome and made re-playing the game on different difficulties really enjoyable. All of these features of the gameplay (graphics, realism, gore and mechanics) all served a purpose in Naughty Dog's overarching goal, and, coming to understand that, made the game more enjoyable because I was able to recognise the importance of my actions and the significance of the storyline.
    The new (and old) characters that were introduced in the game were for the most part fleshed out and developed quite well. Ellie's companions, Dina and Jesse, were really well made characters who i was able to care for and feel emotionally attached to. Abby was a really surprising and rather difficult character to play as on my first playthrough. I thought that she was developed well, however it was still very difficult to get over what she had done in the beginning. Abby's friends, on the other hand seemed a bit rushed and unimportant to me. I didn't feel much connection to them when playing as both Ellie and Abby, their deaths were kind of dry and meaningless, with the only really impactful deaths being that of Owen and Mel. Even still, both of these characters were quite forgettable in my opinion, with their deaths only being impactful due to the significance of the pregnancy to both Ellie and Abby.
    The environments and enemy factions were really awesome and well developed, with really interesting lore available to be found around the world. The gameplay environments for both characters were also really nicely made, however I kind of felt like Abby's portion of the game had more big set-pieces and exciting battles and events. I felt like this was a bit forced and stinted as it almost seemed like Abby's portion of the game was designed to be fun and memorable so that players would begin to like her character more. If this was the case then I would say that it backfired because it became kind of obvious and repetitive, making me almost like Abby less because i knew that she was being appeased by the developers.
    Finally, a major problem for me was the way that Joel was killed off. Before the release I had kept away from the spoilers, but just from the trailers I knew that something big was going to happen to Joel and Ellie. The brutality and inhumane way that Joel was killed made it much more difficult for the player to build any empathy for and relate to Abby. As a result, it was difficult to play as her because the player already hated this character. So, I think Joel's death could have been handled better by the developers, which would have made it a bit easier to play as Abby and it would have seemed less forced.
    Overall, I really enjoyed the game. The story was difficult, emotional, harrowing and real, and specific events that began the game were really tough to sit through especially as a lover of the first game. The world-building, gameplay, graphics, realism and most of the characters were really well made and truly enjoyable to experience. Naughty Dog's goal was really well fleshed out and made for a really interesting and thought-provoking story, however the ending did feel a bit forced and disappointing. I recommend the game, but make sure that you are open-minded and prepared for more than just your normal video game. It was much more philosophical and thought-provoking than I anticipated, and i loved it!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No respect for the characters or original story. Threw the baby out with the bathwater in an attempt to be edgy and give Ellie a reason to go out into the world. There were so many better storyline that could have been used. It was like an old 70s rape drama where the significant other is brutalised just to get the hero to go on a revenge quest. Lazy lazy storyline and disrespectful of the special place these characters had in the fans hearts. It wasn't even done well. Just brutal and slightly sordid with no real meaning to the death, as even at the end it never means anything... its given no depth of context, just a cursory surface level back story.... that would have resulted in Abby killing him, but not the torture that ensured. Then the m Muddled swapping from Ellie to Abby left it hard to build the same level of investment in the characters that we had last time. When we get to a point that we have to play through us as the gamer beating Ellie, it lost it for me. So many interesting possibilities never explored, such as the scars… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The last of us 1 was an absolute Masterpiece, a true 10/10 Game, a Sequel wasnt needed, but since they announced it, people were of course excited to see what Naughty Dog would come up with, and since Naughty Dog was till now regarded as one of the Best Game Devs, what could go wrong right? riiiight? Well it did go wrong oh Boy did it go wrong.

    The First Game had not just great Graphics and awesome Sound (Music) but more importantly a superb Story that People were totally Sucked in, and awesome Characters that we loved and could identify with.

    We felt with those characters, had a smile on our Faces when something nice happened, had a tear or two in our eyes when something sad happened, and i would say all the people who loved this game, fall in Love with Joel and Ellie and their heartwarming Father / Daughter like Relationship...

    and here we have The Last of Us 2....what does it have in common with the first Game? Well 1. The Name, 2 Great Graphics (Pushing the PS4s Hardware) and again Great Sound but thats about it....

    The Story is a MESS, same with the Characters! Everything we loved in the First Game was ruined here, they literally shat all over the first Game! And yes, the fact that they killed the belowed Character of Joel in the First 2 Hours, with less than 5 Minutes of interacting with him is **** but its not even the fact that they Killed him...no, most people were expacting him to Die in the Sequel, the **** Part is how he died! They Turned both Joel and Tommy into complete Greenhorns! Esspecialy Joel who would Trust like no one and is always super Carefull with what he does, suddenly trusts those Strangers, follows them in a Closed Area, and allows to be surrounded by those Armed Strangers like a fool! Followed by Tommy telling those Strangers his Name and where they Live and than Joel telling them his Name, even so he would never ever do that?! Its like they held a Sign over their head that says "kill us!" This was so unbelievable poor Story Writing - and no! explaining why this happened does not make it right! They just wanted to kill him so they could deliver this mess of a Garbage Story.

    And like thats not allready frustrating enough, afterwards the player is forced to play as his Murderer for around 12 Hours!!! wtf was that!!! Playing 12 Hours as this extremly unlikeble She Hulk Like Psychopath was a Torture for almost all the people who hated this Game, and reason for many to Quit the Game at this Point and / or even Return the Game!

    What is further annoying is the blatant and forced try of the Devs to make us like these new Characters (Abby) and make us think that they are the good ones while at the same time trying to make us think that the old Characters are the bad Guys (Ellie Kills Doggys = Ellie baaaad, Abby Plays with Doggys and Saves Zebra with her Dad = Abby gooood) nice try but failed hard!

    And Naughty Dog trying to make us believe that Revenge is a bad thing....really???? So When Abby grows up from childhood to adult and hunts down Joel all the Time just to Kill him because he Killed her Father (because he wanted to Kill Ellie!!!!!!) that Revenge is ooookkkkkkkk, but when Ellie than wants revenge for Joels Death, that is suddenly baaaad??? Not to mention that after she slaughters all of abbys friends and an army of other people, at the end she suddely decides not to Kill Abby??? wth!!!!

    so we are even denied revenge on that horrible person, that is abby, so she gets away with murdering our beloved character joel in the most brutal and disrespectfull way, Joel is gone, Ellie in the end completely broken down, what kind of Garbage is this???

    Druckman said that probably many wont like this Game because of all what i just said....well damn right we dont!!! This Game is a gigantic middlefinger and kick in the faces of all the Fans of the first Game! For me this game does not exist! Last of Us ended with the First Game. Period! Also iam done with Naughty Dog, as long as they dont kick that Druckmann out and apoligize for this utter mess, iam never again buying anything from them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By the way, 0/10 Scores and 10/10 Scores are both **** this **** is no Masterpiece so all those "bought" Perfect Scores are a joke, at the same time the Stunning Graphics, Sound and the good enough Gameplay are reason enough why Zero Scores are also nonsense.

    I gave it 3/10 because 1 Point for Graphics, 1 for Sound and 1 for Gameplay, i was thinking about 4/10 but The last of Us heavily relies on Story, and when the Story is bad - like it is here - than the best Graphics, the best Sound and the Best Gameplay wont save it! Therefore 3/10 is my Score, with a big "dont buy this crap"

    by the way, i was lucky enough that i could borrow this game from a friend (who also hated it!) so thank god i didnt waste money on this Garbage Train, and didnt support Naughty Dog for this Mess that they delivered!    … Expand

    The bad: The story. Some may find it interesting. I found it painful. If you enjoy misery, torture, pain and death, this is the game for you. When I play a game I want to be happy, grow with the character, and feel good about it, at least at some point with a turn in the story when the bad turns to good. TLOU2 is a story with an unhappy start, and unhappy middle and an unhappy end, all the while sprinkled with misery, pain and death. There is NO happiness in this game. None. Who likes that? Apparently pro game critics who don't represent the people who play the games.

    I don't think this game was review bombed by social justice warriors, at least not primarily. it was legitimately hated by most who played it and then felt miserable after toughing their way through the whole thing.

    My rating of 4 is a true score. If it were a 0, I would have quit after an hour but it was at least good enough for me to get all the way through to the depressing ending.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: level design / voice acting / atmosphere

    Middle ground: gameplay - it contributes to the atmosphere yet at times is very repetitive

    Cons: Writing

    First off, the whole premise of the game feels wrong. At the end of 1, we`re left with two questions. How`s Ellies and Joels relationship going to develop and what about the cure. Both do not play a part in 2.

    Their relationship evolves through flashbacks, which are more about Ellies journey (clinging to revenge + forgiving Joel for his lie and maybe herself for accepting it). To me they lacked weight and emotion bc Joel was already dead.

    The cure doesn`t matter at all. Why didn`t the remaining fireflies take the notes about the surgery with them? Is Abbys dad the only doctor left in the world? Mel could have tried. If sacrificing herself was so important to Ellie, why did she go back to Jackson instead of trying to locate the remaining Fireflies - after travelling back to Boston all by herself?

    The story evolves through various conveniences and plot holes: Why is the gate open, when Joel, Tommy and Abby ride for her friends. A hole in the fence, so that Ellie can slip through just in time to watch Joel die. Why is Mel allowed to go on a mission, considering she`s pregnant and humanity is dying out? Why does Abby take Yara with her to go after Lev? She only got one arm, just went trough the amputation and is a huge liability. Etc.

    People acting out of character: Joel and Tommy giving away information to armed strangers, when Joel would`ve killed Henry and Sam in 1 and could smell an abush from a mile away. Ellie screaming Joels name when she finds the hutt but doesn`t jet know who`s inside. Abbys group not guarding the house when seconds ago there was a horde outside. Or them letting Ellie and Tommy go, when the WLF sure has a habbit of letting people off the hook easyly.

    Trying to depict a brutal and gritty and therefore real world, yet everybody shooting at you does have unlimmitted ammo, you can get all wet but your gear still works, the body types of Abby and fat-man-slaver at the end in a world where nobody gets enough food, or your attack-dog usually going straight after every Scar (i.e. Lev and Yara in the aquarium) but can still be sneaky silent, when you go into stealth mode yourself.

    Trying to make the player feel guilty by having NPCs shout out names when you kill their comrades is pathetic, bc you get forced to do so plenty of times. The gamplay doesn`t change at all and therefore doesn`t reflect Ellies or moreso Abbys realization that violence isn`t always the way to go.

    The structure of the game is the worst part of it: It should have been about Abby and her crew. Getting to know them and building up an emotional attachement. You should have revealed that they`re hunting Joel somwhere in the middle or right at the end. That would`ve created conflict for the player. Instead you introduce Abby as Joels killer and expect the player to sympathise with her afterwards. In about 10 hours, when we had a whole game growing used to Joel and Ellie.
    I wonder why people don`t like her.

    Speaking of Abby: To me she`s a sociopath. Not only does she kill Joel, she tortures him (he himself did no such thing) and then proceeds to play with dogs and joking around with Manny as if nothing happend. No remorse.

    One could argue, that she rescues Yara and Lev to attone for her deeds, but it isn`t made clear. A game is a visual experience. Leaving that much up to interpretation is fine for books or if you have a capable live action actor. What`s your message worth when people don`t get it? What`s the moral here? Go brutally murder sb and never pay the price for it. As long as you`re nice to some random kids you`ll be fine (losing her friends is no punishment, bc the player didn`t spend enough time with them to get invested).

    Same goes for Ellie. It`s an internal struggle about forgiving Joel and herself, yet she never earns that. Hunting Abby, killing thousands, giving up on her family. Even at the end, when she travells a considerable amount of miles and has time to rethink, she still wants to kill Abby. But the player is to believe that an image of Joel playing guitar is enough to let Abby go free, when Ellie never showed enough doubt along the way.

    If I´d be fair, I´d give it a 5/10. Maybe even a 7/10 if it wouldn`t be a sequel to 1. But for striking down youtubers left and right, for proudly stating you wanted to make a controversial game and then whining when there`s controversy, for payed reviews, for accusing people to not like strong females or whatever kind of representation when the only thing they do is call out the flaws in your story and most importantly for false advertisement ND gets a 0/10.

    Only way this`ll turn out okay is, if there is a 3. But now it won`t be made, bc no one is going to by it.    … Expand

    I have been waiting 7 years for this game. I already expected Joel death But NOT LIKE THIS!

    I already super depressed about HK problem and I am now in another country and looking for a job.

    I just wanted to escape the reality a bit and enjoy what Ellie and Joel facing in Part 2. Then what kind of **** you feeded me? Joel and Tommy become an Idiots, After 10 hrs playing, feel like final battle with Addy and you need me to control that **** murderer for another 10 hours? WTF?And even her story, enemy and weapon even better than Ellie? You know what, everyone dont **** care her story. We just wanted her died. NOW

    Either you are crazy, or you just think we will just accept all thing like the Joel and Tommy in the game. Even we play Addy first. The reason of killing Joel is not convincing.... remember Joel just saved her **** life.... so did the Levs. Why she kill Joel without hesitating then agaisnt her ex-friend because of Levs. It doesnt make any sense.

    And finally, Ellie already give up revenge, you force her to revenge. Kill ton of people then give up when almost killed her? WTF. And she lost everything because this revenge? How about Addy, she revenge To Joel then why story show she is “good guy” and Ellie is “bad guy”? Come on, this is the end of world! Everything is “Grey” and no right or wrong. Political correct is just bull**** in that world.

    BTW, I am gay and I am Asian. Dont use us as an excuse to cover up your ****ty story. And political correct, right? Then why make joke for asian ONLY? So Asian doesnt need political correct?

    I am from Hong Kong, I am not going to snowflake, just wondering your definition of “political correct”. Part 1 got a lot of political correct thing either like gay and lesbian. But to be honest, I dont care if Ellie is lesbian or even Joel is gay. If the story is good, they will be good. You even doesnt need to write more bull**** like part 2 to make them “correct”.

    Finally, The Last of Us only got Part 1. Joel lie to Ellie and having happy life in Jackson. The End.    … Expand

    "The Last of Us Part 2" is a visually stunning game that offers a variety of thrilling elements such as stealth gameplay and action sequences. However, the game's story is not always logical and there are several plotholes that can be frustrating for players. The game features several characters whose choices and actions are often illogical, and this contributes to the overall sense of the story being implausible.

    One of the most criticized aspects of the game is the portrayal of the main villain Abby. At the beginning of the game, her actions are borderline psychopathic as she murders "a man" in front of "a young woman", who is practically his daughter, while she is literally begging for his life. The motivations and reasons behind her actions are no excuse for the murder as the wronging indirectly done by "the man" to her were in some ways a legal and ethical duty of "said man". Later in the game, the developers try to make players like her and agree with her by portraying her as a nice person. Additionally, players are forced to play as Abby for half the game, which can be difficult for players who find her character unsympathetic.

    The game is heavily criticized for attempting to force the developer's ethical views and beliefs, concerning life and death situations in a post-apocalyptic world, onto the player through the character of Abby. The game tries to make players like and sympathize with Abby despite her unjustifiable actions, leading to a feeling of manipulation and lack of agency for the players.

    The game's portrayal of sensitive themes and its treatment of certain characters has also been criticized for being insensitive and tone-deaf.

    Overall, "The Last of Us Part 2" is a game that boasts impressive graphics and solid gameplay mechanics, but is let down by its illogical story, plotholes, and its portrayal of sensitive themes. The game's attempt to force the developer's ethical views onto the player through the character of Abby and the manipulation of players' emotions makes it hard for players to fully engage with the story and characters. While it offers some thrilling elements, it ultimately fails to live up to the high standards set by the first game in the series.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fantastic game and sequel to 2013 The Last Of Us. This game has superb storytelling, graphics, gameplay and a huge amount of graphic violence. This game keeps you hook throughout its 20+ hour run time. Characters dynamics and interactions are almost as good as the relationship between Ellie and Joel. This games character development even makes you love side characters and even people you shouldn't. The only thing I can think of as a downside is Abbys section of the campaign could have been a separate thing like Left behind was in the first game as it took away from Ellie's story a wee bit even though that section was still fantastic. Last Of Us part 2 is a Worthy follow up to the amazing The Last Of Us.… Expand

    I will miss Joel and sincerely hope Naugty Dog will release part 3.

The camera loves to linger on characters being mutilated and killed while the author(s) try to shame you for what "you" did (there are no choices.) American politics is dense throughout the game and seems gratingly out of place in the post-apocalypse world, which would no doubt have developed its own distinct politics and likely not the kind we see in 'TLOU 2'. The gameplay, which was never what anyone played TLOU for, is quite boring--for what it's worth.

    It's a story driven game and they failed. There is no other way to put it and I find it unbelievable that people actually like it...

    About the plot, they use a main character that everyone loved and their relationships that they carried from the first game and just used shock value for the plot of the game. THIS IS JUST BAD! If you can't creatively come up with a solution or explanation for your plot but must rely on shock value and there attachment to the character and have them killed off 2 hours into the game!
    This game had so much potential and they killed it. I just feel bad for the developers, the amount of work they've put in just for one guy to screw it all up must be devastating. It's a gorgeous game but it's a story game and if the story fails the graphics can't make up for it.

    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.
