    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many people think the reviews come from "haters" to **** on Naughty Dog" for the hell of it. But the SJW LGTBQ aspect of the game is perfectly fine. There is no issue there. The story is god awful. After so many years of waiting they bring out a washed out revenge story were Elie, after going on a murderous rampage to avenge Joel, simply decides is not worth it. The gameplay elements are almost basically the same and even thought the graphics are stunning it does not save the player from the disapoinment of the bad writing. Such a shame. Not recommended to buy for 60 USD, wait for a sale. Expand

Whether it be the terrible working conditions at ND, the bogus widespread DMCA claims of commentators, the forced token pandering story elements, the overplayed 'unexpected therefore amazing' story direction like the Last Jedi, or the generally just plain boring game play; this game has plenty of reasons to avoid it. The story has nothing rewarding about it and is just plain depressing and baffling.

    Please consider giving this a pass, or picking it up on discount/used. These things shouldn't be rewarded.

    One of my all time favorite games. Everything about it was good. Don't listen to all of those 0/10 scores on the first day. You have to actually finish the game, Imagine if you played the first one but never saw the end. There were parts where I considered giving up but I didn't and am super glad. Anyway it's a profound work of art in my opinion.

    The best game I’ve played ever, I understand the other critics for the history but I can’t criticize Naughty Dog for this because they took risks in this and made things nobody would dare in videogames industry. Great graphics, great sound and great history that will open new doors in future games. It’s a must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely hated it, unfortunately. For the amount of time they had, they could have come up with a better story. I wanted to give a good review, but I just can’t. When I was playing Abby I just wanted to kill myself, and eventhough the graphics were really cool with some new addictions gameplay-wise, I just, for the life of me, couldn’t enjoy playing. The only part I did enjoy was fighting off the seraphites, they were challenging and they were interesting. Everything else did not make sense. I have a lot of examples but these are just some that pissed me off:
    1. What’s the deal with this game and pregnancy? First there’s Dina but then, there’s this other pregnant lady.... You have a camp full of strong people, eager to fight and ready to do it. In what world would you let (and want btw) a pregnant woman, that is almost giving birth judging by the size of her belly, to go in search of supplies when you know you have enemies nearby also ready to fight? You’re not just putting yourself and your baby in danger, but also your entire crew. It’s just one very unnecessary responsibility.
    2. Why were there flashbacks within flashbacks? That’s just poor storytelling. You could have told the same story without all those in between.
    3. I felt manipulated into liking Abby, which did not work for me. Yes, she likes dogs. Yes, she likes children and she feels bad for dead pregnant women. So what? I do too, but that does not necessarily make me a good person. Nor a likable one.
    4. Ellie. She feels so different. I know she is all grown up now, but she lost all the witiness from the first game. She was so fun to play with and she felt very one dimensional, and angsty (not in a good fun way) in this game.
    5. I knew Joel was going to die. I don’t mind his death being very painful to watch because I knew it would be. I honestly just don’t understand how the events worked out. In the first game, you have a scene where Joel sees a man pretending to be injured. He is in a car with Ellie and without talking to the man or leaving the car, he KNOWS that it is an ambush. How can the same man be so reckless in a house full of armed strangers? I just can’t deal with the illogical character developments. It’s only been 5 years and you’re telling me that he changed so much to start giving out his name to random people knowing full well what he did to the fireflies? It doesn’t make sense to me.
    Honestly, I could spend more time ranting about this game but I am tired. This game made me feel tired and frustrated. I play to enjoy myself and that didnt happen at all. If you wanted a gut wrenching game, then you should have done it correctly. I am sorry but the graphics did not do it for me. Yes they’re gorgeous but when everything is so bleak and so badly told I just can’t bring myself to enjoy it.

    Amazing experience unlike anything I've ever seen in any medium.

    Part 2 greatly improves on gameplay, graphics and fully embraces the horror aspect. The infected are terrifying this time around. The art direction and soundtrack are incredible and the performances of the actors are amazing. This is gameplay wise the best thing I've ever played because of the amazing AI and combat mechanics. The shootouts are adrenaline fueled thrill rides that completely floored me.

    However, I completely understand why someone wouldn't like the story. Throughout the experience there were moments that made me very uncomfortable. Think about breaking bad and the good seasons of game of thrones only this time around it is you that has to do these harrowing story twists.

    Sometimes Naughty Dog's ambition exceeds their capability. There are some story moments that feel cramped in and are a little underdeveloped.

    Still, I love the direction of the story as a whole and how thematically everything is mirrored. All characters have a distinct personality and I feel like I know more about the smaller side characters in this game than some stereotypical video game protagonist like Nathan Drake or that lady from Control.

    My biggest complaint with this game is how the story is non-linear structured. I completely understand from a story tellers perspective that you want to pull the rug under from someone and create some variety with flashbacks, but this really hurts replay ability for me. I still have to go through these sections that don't really have gameplay in them every time I start up a NG+.

    It would be really cool to see an update that allows you to experience the story in a linear way in NG+:
    (SPOILERS)
    You start out as Abby in the park, leading to the events that Joel narrates in the start of the regular game, you play all the flashback scenes in linear order and the Jackson parts stay exactly the same but in Seattle you would continuously flip back and forth between Ellie and Abby without those flashbacks hurting the pacing in the middle of the game.
    (END OF SPOILERS)

    I feel like if this was implemented I would have called it a masterpiece, but it's still amazing and might be the most memorable AAA game I have experienced.

Игра с крутым, хорошим и поучительным посылом, очень грустно в конце было осознать чего она добилась, но и этим игра хороша что даёт повод расстроится, подумать над ней.

    «На поверхности это простая история о мести. Но чем глубже вы погрузитесь в игру, тем более серьезные темы сможете обнаружить. Это история трайбализма. История о том, как мы очерняем и дегуманизируем тех, кто не входит в наш круг. Это история одержимости — когда наступает пора отпустить прошлое? А когда нужно продолжать за него держаться любой ценой? Это история боли, искупления и эмпатии.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I made a metacritic account just so I could leave this review. I honestly didn't think this game could disappoint me, despite hearing there was controversy in the leaks (which I successfully avoided, but honestly it wouldn't have mattered).
    The gameplay is still fun. Stealthily killing enemies and zombies will never grow old. And the flashback scenes with Joel and Ellie are honestly the best parts of the game for me.
    My biggest problem with the game is being forced to play as Abby for half of it. It's not fun. I want to know what happened to Ellie back at the theater. All your inventory is reset. And I hated the character. She's specifically introduced as an unlikable character due to her killing Joel. Only after you're forced to play as her for several hours do they try to establish her likability.
    Why is likability so important, you may ask. Well, imagine in the last game, you played as David, the cannibal rapist for half the game. Sure, we may have slowly learned to empathize with him and his backstory or whatever, but is that really enjoyable? Especially when you're forced to almost kill your favorite characters.
    To be forced to play as Abby for half the game when we could've spent more time with Ellie or Joel is a terrible decision. ND, you had one job: continue Ellie and Joel's story. And you **** failed spectacularly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Me parece increíble lo que llevo jugado. No sé si tendré que cambiar la nota cuando acabe la historia pero lo visto hasta ahora es asombroso, tanto gráficos como jugabilidad.

    SPOILERS A PARTIR DE AQUÍ

    Respecto a la historia tengo que decir que es realmente buena y que han escogido un hilo muy bueno del que tirar y que además no está explotado. El primero terminó de forma redonda. Joel, un padre que perdió a su hija, antepuso la salvación de la humanidad a una segunda oportunidad que le dio la vida de tener a una niña a la que cuidar y recuperar ese rol de padre incomparable con otra cosa. Final empatico y redondo. Pero en esta segunda entrega nos muestran cómo esa decisión que tomó, afectó a muchas personas, personas tan buenas y nobles como pudieran ser Joel y Ellie, personas que perdieron a padres y amigos por una decisión egoísta al fin y al cabo. Es algo que rara vez nos muestran los videojuegos, donde, por norma general, matamos a "los malos" para conseguir nuestro fin y terminar con un final bueno para nosotros.
    Para mi es como ya he dicho, una historia muy acertada.
    Respecto a la sexualidad de los personajes y toda la polémica que ha levantado, yo lo dejo en un segundo plano, primero porque no tiene importancia y segundo porque su relevancia no es trascendental al lado de lo que quiere transmitir la historia que nos cuentan.

    Toda esa historia que nos cuentan ademas lo hacen con una jugabilidad brillante, con muchos momentos espectaculares, gráficos que alcanzan el techo de la Ps4 y un apartado sonoro impecable y una banda sonora muy cuidada.

    No creo en los juegos perfectos pero esta claro que esto debe de ser algo parecido a la perfección.

Why make Joel so naive as to go with strangers to an unknown location? Also, the unnecessary level of bonding with dogs you have to kill... And the ending for gods sake, you end up just letting Abby live, after she destroyed everything in your world??? What the hell naughty dog? Graphics? 10000/100, gameplay? 10000/100. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I cannot understand how on earth mainstream critics have described this game as a masterpiece. It genuinely boggles my mind. I will try and be as fair as I can to the game, and I will say it does some things really very well indeed. But there are so many flaws that the game fails to remotely do the Last of Us 1 any justice whatsoever.
    Just to start with, I am very left wing & pro trans rights, so when I hear that people are giving this game poor reviews because they are right wing, anti gay right bigots, that is just such nonsense (I mean maybe a very small handful are, but most are not), I feel it's designed to almost guilt people into not giving this game a poor rating.
    I actually didn't feel this game was trying to throw and SJW agenda down my throat, or trans issues, or gay rights. The only thing forced on us is "revenge = bad". The characters were all the types of people we would likely find in most workplaces or communities, so that was not an issue.
    Now that's out of the way, the game itself.
    This game is, for the most part, absolutely stunning. It is quite possibly the most gorgeous game to hit any console. The character models are really nicely done and perfectly animated. The world is superbly designed and I found it beautiful, even in its state of decay. Top Marks to N.Dog for this.
    But unfortunately, almost all of the marks I can give this game are just for that alone.
    A great game does not have to have great graphics, there are plenty of decent games with mediocre graphics.
    Last of us 1 looked good. But this was not the reason it was so loved by its fans (including myself). The reason I loved the game was the story. It was so well written, perfectly balanced between heart-wrenching and uplifting, and the ending was one of the best ever, allowing us to empathise with the "bad guys" that want to sacrifice Ellie for humanity, and Joels love for Ellie, and his selfishness in wanting her to live. Amazing. Beyond that, TLOU1 was largely mediocre. Graphics were OK, exploration was fine, combat was not too bad, crafting was a bit dull, but all of that was OK because of the story.
    Now, back to part 2. The graphics as mentioned, are wonderful, a massive jump ahead, but nothing else has moved forward. Combat is still just OK, the stealth part of the game is alright at best, the exploration is actually in large sections just dull. But this time, the story fails to pull the game together and save it from utter mediocrity.
    Starting with the fate of Joel. Lets just throw out his character entirely. Lets just pretend that after years of survival, Joel just decides to become a complete muppet and abandon all of the survival skills he has ver built up.
    Then there is his demise, taken out by a person who he has literally just saved, just to give shock value I would guess, but it seemed such a lazy narrative choice. Hated it. It also makes you instantly dislike Abby, I mean, we have loved Joel for 7 years and in 2 hours have seen him brutally killed. But then you have to play her, I think to make you realise she is not so bad and driven by the revenge of her fathers death, fine, ok. The issue is, her character is so thinly written, a 2D, poorly fleshed out person. You have no connection with her and so spend maybe a third of the game forced to play a person that you do not like or care about.
    Other game characters are equally poorly written, predictable, you end up just not caring about them.
    When you play Ellie, its mostly just her, a sad shadow of the Ellie from TLOU1. The flashbacks with Joel are done well, but the game is worse for not having the dynamic and light hearted fun moments that made the first game so special.
    Then there is the violence. It didn't bother me so much, but is largely over the top and often needlessly gratuitous in its deployment. But that's not what bothered me. What finally put the nail in the coffin for me was the fact that Ellie kills left right and centre, whether its women, men, dogs, there is no issue. But at the climax of the story she has her chance to avenge Joel and she just chooses that moment to forgive and forget. Really!??
    It also doesn't help that you find Joels death was all for nothing, he was making amends for his decisions in game 1. Arrggggghhhh. Really poor choice of a way to kill off a main character.
    In summary, (like this review I imagine) the game is long winded, poorly paced with unlikable or badly written characters. The gameplay is just fine, nothing more than you'd expect from a large studio, but not impressive in an y way. And the ending just sucks. But it does look nice!

I absolutely loved it, I understand the story is not for everyone but without spoiler, I found it brutal and something not many video games try, it’s worked for me and left me thinking about the previous game and all the encounters I’d shared with the characters throughout. The game is simply stunning, and the gameplay, where sticking to the first game, and alike uncharted and tomb raider series, didn’t blow me away but I found myself loving it, as I always have. It’s a shame the reviews that purposely are just to hurt the games ratings are present as I’d be interested to see how it would have compared to red dead redemption. I don’t like placing a game which is so raw in my memory in any ‘top lists’ or ‘one of greatest games ever’ but I truly believe in 10 years time the last of us games will be looked back on so fondly, and will sure be one of my favourite games. As an avid gamer I often spend £50-60 on video games from release and it can end up being disappointing and feeling money could have been spent better elsewhere. TLOU2 certainly doesn’t go into that category. A game I truly loved. Expand

Granted it can be difficult to follow and getting through the blood, violence and gore proves even more difficult. That is the point though, anyone who has truly experienced loss, pain and guilt can understand how it feels and relate to how and why the characters can do what they are doing. The choices the characters make have such dire consequences which is true in life. This game haunts me days after completing it, very few games have warranted a review. in fact only 5 games have had one and each left lasting impressions upon me that I carry with me. Naughty dog and the actresses/actors have done a truly amazing job of conveying feelings so few of us really experience the story is there it's just a bit disjointed. I recommend a second play through at the least to really see that story. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is that there were a few glitches which slightly affected the impact of the game overall. (Dinas arms disappeared for a bit) Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I must say, the game is excellent. Seriously. Locations and the world worked out simply masterpiece. Characters change throughout the game, it is interesting to watch the development of the same Ellie as a character. But! With all due respect to Naughty Dog, there are some plot holes in the game that my brain cannot explain. At some points, the game didn’t work out, such as with the death of Joel. This character sunk into the hearts of many people after the first game, but we were not shown scenes of mourning. Dina, in my opinion, is not a very elaborate character, so by the end of the game I was not hurt by the scene with Ellie leaving Dina on her last trip. AI in this part is beautiful. The way that enemies bypass you, interact with your environment and talk to each other is obviously worthy of praise. The game has some kind of LGBT propaganda, for which some users began to underestimate the game’s ratings, but this will not affect my rating, since I am neutral about this (I don’t care about other people's relationships and you should not). My verdict is 8.5/10 (it costs 9, since 8.5 is closer to 9), but Joel could have a more vivid farewell. Thanks to everyone who read, thanks to the developers for a good game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joel Fanboy's children being cranky shouldnt get to ruin this score. The game isn't perfect, and has some items that could've been better (no issues with a gay main character, but it was over done a bit). Overall though it was a really good game, with an engaging story and beautiful graphics. I wish the game had ended with one or the other dying, as it would have felt more inline with the entire message. (revenge is a cycle that never ends?). But the majority of reviews I see here that are negative are some form of "Joel died, thats stupid", and "I hate Abby cause she killed Joel". Joel killed Abby's Dad. Her 4 year story ark was literally Ellie's, but further along. People mad that she wasnt upset by her murder of Joel? Why would she be? She got revenge on the man who killed her Dad? I clearly saw the game as it was intended, which is, from both sides of the coin. And in doing so, I really enjoyed playing the vast majority of it. Good game, strong story, ending lacked a bit.
