    We can see the construction of the carachters. In the first part we see the love, Joel and Ellie making a friendship. In the second part, we see the revenge that will take the two protagonists, because they love someone, who was killed. In the end, the question is, Does Ellie have to take revange? The answer is not easy. You can see the choice between her family, or Joel. The Last of UsWe can see the construction of the carachters.

The Last of Us part II is not another game of Naughty Dog, is probably the end of the one of the best games in the history. You can see all of the emotions in the characters, all of the intentions to stay alive in a world where everything is scarce. Does Ellie had to have an end of queen? This is not a story of Disney. In the first game, in the diary of Ellie, we can her love for womens. There's not something politically correct. 10/10 to this game.… Expand

    Es un juego muy simple, tiene huecos argumentativos en la historia un comienzo tosco mostrando y con uno de los peores finales no lo recomiendo mucho ya que el fuerte de the last of us la primera y asta el DLC era la historia que nos cautivo, para mí seguidor de juegos de play diría que fue uno de los peores errores tirarse este juego

    The gameplay, music and graphics all amazing and 10/10 but that story so disappointing there’s nothing wrong with characters dying but all build up for nothing? I honestly felt like there was a void when I finished it and there was more to come. The story ruined this other wise amazing game with great gameplay and graphics

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay where do I start, rating this game a 4/10 is sad. It truly breaks my heart to rate this game a 4/10, but it truly deserves this rating. This franchise is legendary and it's sad that their second installment of the game is a big disappointment. This game technically is amazing, it has jaw-dropping graphics, incredible animations, awesome cut scenes, great fighting mechanics, and acting. But where this game goes wrong is it's story. Since this is a story driven game, you'd expect the game to have an amazing story just like it's predecessor, The Last Of Us 1. Unfortunately though, the story of The Last of Us Pt 2 incredibly fails expectations. The first installment of this franchise was iconic and it was written perfectly to show human emotion and hope. The second installment falls into a terrible cliche of revenge. The revenge cliche starts with the death of Joel, he is tortured and killed by Abby right in front of Ellie. As a fan of the game, I was incredibly mad at how they killed Joel! The way they killed Joel was an amazing example of lazy writing, Joel would have never ever put himself into that situation in the Mansion. Joel would never be stupid enough to say his real name in front of random people he's never met. I mean for Christ's sake, Joel didn't even trust Ellie in the beginning of The Last of Us 1, why would he trust random strangers? it's the apocalypse! It's clear that Joel would have never put himself in that situation, so why did he? Lazy writing!! So after this event, Ellie goes on a killing rampage to find Abby. Ellie kills all of Abby's friends but never finds her, so Tommy suggests just leaving and letting it go. She agrees until Abby comes out of nowhere and kills Jesse, she then threatens Tommy's life at gunpoint. Abby points the gun at Ellie, the scene cuts and then we as gamers are forced to play as Abby for 10 hours to know her backstory. Naughty Dog, we don't care about Abby! The point of the game was to kill her, so why would you think it'd be a great idea to make us play as the woman who mutilated Joel, for ten hours? This ten hour gameplay with Abby was so boring, and I resented every second I had to play with her. That isn't the worst part though, Naughty Dog makes you beat the living **** out of Ellie! I really don't understand how this game was approved! Anyways, Abby lets Ellie live again, Ellie trys to forget about what Abby did, but she cant, so she once again goes to find her, and once she finds her, (after killing multiple innocent people) she lets her go! Hahahahahaha this game was just pointless! There was no meaning, just death! This game had a horrible intro, horrible plot, horrible character arch, and horrible ending! They made us sit and wait for seven years for this poorly wrote game! What's crazier though is how Naughty Dog is responding to criticism. They are calling every low rating a bot, or a misogynistic person, or a transphobic person, or a homophobic person. Wake up Naughty Dog! We are none of the above! I support LGBTQ+, and I'm not misogynistic! When woman are put in lead roles I don't mind, it's the same as if they were a male. Ellie is one of my favorite characters in all of gaming, same with Clementine from Telltales's The Walking Dead! We're not mad about Ellie's sexuality, we're mad about how Joel died, and how poorly written the story is.… Expand

    I understand the criticisms the game is getting. The game makes some ballsy moves both gameplay and story wise but I can appreciate it for what it tried to do. I still enjoyed it but it's hard to not get frustrated/confused when the game is split up the way it is.
    I think the game does a really good job of humanising enemies and forcing you to see things from different perspectives.

No    An honest review of The Last of Us Part II from someone who has actually completed the game fully:

    Gameplay: The gameplay for this game is very familiar if you have played the first game with some additional tweaks to make it better and not to mention it is brutal and visceral. The dodge button adds a bit of strategy to melee encounters as enemies can counter you and get hits off. No longer can you just mash square for a guaranteed kill. Ellie is more nimble than Joel. She can jump up to high locations, squeeze through cracks and go prone. Being prone is a game changer as you can hide under cars, shoot while laying down and even craft while laying down. It adds another element to stealth. AI is greatly improved as they will sneak, flank and shoot you behind cover. I can't count how many times I'm getting shot at from someone I couldn't see and spot an enemy peaking out from a crack in the wall. Infected enemies remain relatively the same except for the stalkers who are greatly improved and will hide behind cover and attack you when you least expect it. Standard issues with 3rd person camera obstructing your view. Overall: 9.5

    Sound: Not much to say here. It is top notch. Gunshots echo through the air, enemies gargle and choke on their blood after a stab with Ellie's knife. Infected sound visceral and scary as ever especially the clickers. The soundtrack is intense and heightens pivotal moments. Voice acting is great. Although I haven't tried it, it is recommended to play this game with surround sound headphones to enhance the experience. Overall: 10

    Performance: for a Naughty Dog game which is usually polished I was surprised to see the occasional glitch in this game. I had downloaded the day 1 patch however got an instance where Dina's body didnt fully load through an escape sequence, Ellie teleporting and then having audio sync issues, and a huge framerate drop during a scene heavy on graphics that required a restart of the checkpoint. Nothing game breaking but took me out of the immersion for those moments. Overall: 9

    Graphics: The game is beautiful. The details in the character models and environments are amazing. There's not much to say here besides it is on another level. Facial animations are so good you can tell see every ounce of emotion on the character's face without them saying anything. Overall: 10

    Story: Here is the big one and the most controversial one. I can 100% see why fans of the original Last of Us don't like this story. This game takes huge chances in character decisions, story arcs, and perspective. But I very much enjoyed it. I've thought about this and this was probably the worst game to ever get leaked ahead of time because you truly can't appreciate the story without playing it. The characters are so complex you simply can't get a sense of who they are through video clips. The story challenges you to see violence from the perspective of different people with their own motivations and lives. The main story isn't really about revenge as much as it is about empathy. It's so hard to describe this story without spoiling, but the main thing is it is full of twists and turns, and it will bring out your emotions. It is also much more darker than the first game. It isn't perfect though. There are moments where it dragged for me especially towards the end. I felt like it was going to end like 3 different times. And there is a moment in the middle of the game that kind of turns things upsides down which can feel a bit jarring and disjointed from the main plot of the story. Another criticism I have is I wish they would have made the reason for the decisions some of the characters make more clear especially at the end. You are left open to interpret which I understand that was by design but also leaves you a little confused and feeling without closure. Basic summary: Ellie is living in a nice city with an established community. A tragedy occurs and she sets out on a quest for revenge. That obsession with revenge is explored in how it changes her and the people around her. Her relationship with Joel is explored as well as the lie he told her at the end of the first game. Overall I think this story does an amazing job with storytelling and the message its trying to give despite some long winded moments and structure issues. Overall: 8.5

    FINAL GRADE: 9.4    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry for my English!

    I isolated myself from social medias since the 19th June till the moment I walked the game through to avoid spoilers. I haven't seen any leaks and didn't watch the trailer just because I forgot about it. I experienced so much emotions, roller coasters, felt sad and powerful, happy and bitter.

    I was really shocked to see so many hateful and aggressive comments, people are writing threats to authors, calling players who enjoyed the game dumb, destroying discs...

    Joel's death hit me hard, I really love him and his relationship with Elly are just a treasure. But that's why it was a base for a story about the hate - opposition of the first game which was about the love. In other way we couldn't share Elly's grief, though her relationships with Dina, Jessy and Tommy are sweet and warm too - we don't know them as good as we knew Joel.

    I witnessed a death of the beloved person and it haunted me for a long time. Everything reminded me about that day, music, certain food, hospitals, people who reminded me him. I felt like I'm forgetting his face and voice, that everything that left are memories about his last minutes, his last breath. It took a lot of years to cope, but now I think and talk about our greatest memories only, our jokes, movies we enjoyed, journeys we made. He left, but it doesn't change my love for him.

    Revenge never brings happiness, never erases the past. Elly waited for a relief, feeling that she did everything right. But one more death and one more child left alone will not fix anything. A moment when Elly remembered Joel playing guitar hit me hard again. For long months she couldn't remember his sight, all her dreams and thoughts were about his brutal murder, how she couldn't do anything to help him. But without killing Abby her emotions came back. Joel is in her manners, skills, hobbies - he is with her all the time. I literally cried remembering my own grief and understanding Elly's feelings at this moment. At the beginning I felt very uncomfortable playing for Abby, it was obvious from the first scene that she'll be a problem. And though I wanted back to Elly's route too, I enjoyed scenes on stadium, flashbacks about her silly, but kind father, her simple and natural a fear of the height, her inner fight to trust two young seraphites. She didn't get a relief after the revenge too - nightmares, a very risky help to enemies. Even her braid being cutted is like a symbol that she's not invincible or the most strong, somebody don't even need a clear motive to use or hurt you.

    Game is not trying to make you to hate Joel - we saw by ourselves what he did. Maybe it was a real hope for a humanity and certainly was a tragedy for families and Fireflies. Nobody can accept or justify his actions - but we all understand why he did it. For a person you love you're ready to turn the whole world upside down. Flashbacks were a best surprise for me. Maybe till the end Elly didn't "see" them, she needed to cope to accept them again in the heart.

    I spent five amazing evenings with this story and going to reach the platinum. I'm just sad how rude some people act.

    P. S. Remember that Elly loves dogs too, she petted one in Jackson and one of her gift guesses was a puppy. Also in the farm sketches she had a dog.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing THE LAST OF US PART II it took me a while to find the right words to review this game.
    Having not read any leaks, this story is not what I expected, but that's exactly what makes this game so powerful! Naughty Dog plays with all your emotions - and at one point you might think to yourself "I don't want to do this anymore".
    But this is not simply a story of revenge and hate, it's a story of love, rage, loss, and - above all - forgiveness.

    Yes, killing of one of the two main characters is not what we wanted to see, but it shows us, that this post-apocalyptic world is relentless and every decision has its consequences. This is not only true for Joel - his decision to save Ellie at the end of Part 1 dooms humanity, makes Ellie eventually hate him and ultimately kills him - but also for Ellie.

    How much are you willing to risk to get your revenge? For Ellie the answer to this question seems to be "everything". And only "everything" is good enough to travel through this harsh and cruel world. Yes, Joel's death was a punch in every gamers face, but it was necessary.
    For a long time he was Ellie's "everything", the only one who cared for her. Think about that scene in the first game when she says "Everyone I have cared for has either died, or left me. **** except for you!" - she had no one, and now her "father" is gone.
    The flashbacks during THE LAST OF US PART II help us to understand their relationship in the past few years. The amazing museum-sequence shows us how full of love this relationship is, yet other flashbacks let us see Ellie's scepticism about Joel's firefly-lie and her absolute disappointment when she finds out the truth.
    These flashbacks are crucial to the emotional roller coaster this game is - and they are crucial to understand how everything plays out in the end.

    Having to play as Abby for a big part of the game was frustrating, seemed unnecessary at times and even made me angry. it felt like Naught Dog wanted you to like this person - and I wasn't ok with that at first. But without knowing her story, getting to know her character and intentions, she would have been just another villain. Yet her story is quite similar to Ellie's.

    But while Abby seems to become more and more humane, Ellie's development goes the other way.
    Losing Joel fills her with so much hate that she seems to have no mercy for anyone. She kills everyone who tries to get in her way, not even hesitating to use torture. The lovely, intelligent and nimble-witted teenager turns into an almost emotionless killing machine. And when she throws away her life with Dina on the farm, the character we once loved seems to have vanished. But this final seek for revenge is her only way to find closure.

    And this final payoff is probably not enough for many gamers.
    But fighting Abby to absolute exhaustion and seeing Abby's and Lev's suffering is all Ellie needs to find closure - to be humane again. At this point she might not find forgiveness for Abby but for Joel.
    And Ellie sitting at the beach, crying, was the most gut-wrenching moment I've seen in a long time.

    Over all, the plot could've been more pleasing, since some major plot decision seem to be pointless, but I think in the end, it fits together beautifully and tells a human story that is full of emotions. it had me crying in the end - and what more do you want from a video game?
    Everyone can write a happy ending, but choosing to go the difficult road elevates this this game to a new level.

    Gameplay: as fun as the first game. Some great new additions: crawling, silencer, different training manuals...
    Graphics: stunning. Every detail looks amazing and especially the characters look extremely realistic. Also superb acting - another wonderful performances by Ashley Johnson.
    Music & sound: the music plays a big part in making this game so emotional. Best moment is probably Ellie singing "Take on me".

    For me it's an absolute masterpiece!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us Part 2 is definitely not a game for everyone. The gameplay has vastly improved since the first game while retaining the formula that made the first game successful. The graphics are gorgeous, it feels less clunky, but by adding bigger environments that can sometimes appear to be a semi-open world, it can become more tedious for the average casual gamer. Although you definitely don’t have to spend the majority of the time looting, if that’s is how you want to play, it’s good having the option, and the rewards for playing like a completionist, which are very good this time around. The violence is tough to watch and to experience, but that is absolutely the point. At several times, I had to stop playing the game and take a pause several times because it is pretty tiring and deals with a lot of heavy themes.

    The story is by far the most controversial aspect of this game. People have grown to love and respect these characters, and while I get why a lot of people don’t like this game, it is Naughty Dog’s game and these are their characters. Everyone involved in the making of this game knows the characters, and their motivations for doing what they do, a lot better than the average player and I’m completely convinced they didn’t betray the characters in any way. Joel was a very distrustful character who had done a lot of bad things until he met Ellie, who ended up changing the way Joel is, making him more compassionate. Living in Jackson has softened both Ellie and Joel, they have become more trustful and are bringing people to Jackson all the time. The moment when Joel dies you can see by the expression in his face he was thinking “I let myself trust these people and this is what I get”.
    People seem to not be understanding that they don’t have ownership of these characters, who are as imperfect and ever-changing as any person in the real world. It felt horrible when Joel died, it felt horrible when you had to play as Abby after seeing what she had done, it felt awful when you had to beat the living **** out of Ellie. I hated doing those things, but that doesn’t mean that the game is bad. When watching this kind of “mature” media, you have to accept that bad things can happen, and in a post-apocalyptic world, they probably WILL happen. These events help the characters grow and develop in ways we hadn’t seen before. If people wanted the characters to stay as they were, they probably should just stick to playing Part 1.

    This game managed to make me feel different about a person I absolutely abhorred, by showing you their side of the story, and most importantly, their motivations. Both Ellie and Abby do horrible things in the memory of someone they loved. Mid-way though the game, Abby starts to become a Joel-type character. A person who has been horribly hurt who starts doing bad things until she finds a better purpose in helping other people who need it (In Abby’s case it was Lev, and in Joel’s case it was Ellie). People are saying the ending is anticlimactic, but I think it actually shows the most character development I’ve ever seen in a game. It helped destroy the cycle of violence and revenge that had been taking place. The only way Ellie was able to do this, was by forgiving Abby, otherwise, the cycle of revenge and violence would have just continued when Lev recovered and realized what Ellie had done to Abby, but when Ellie came to the realization that this was Joel’s story all over again, only this time it was another person, she decided to stop, giving the player a sense of closure and realization. I felt like I got a life lesson out of this game. By keeping an open mind and not closing yourself to what you think SHOULD happen, and just experiencing what DID happen you can experience a masterpiece in storytelling that can affect your life in a positive way. This is one of my favorite games, I didn’t enjoy the game, but I still believe it is one of the greatest pieces of media I have ever seen and played and I, personally, would recommend this game to anyone who wants to experience an amazing story with twists at every turn. It contains a lot of symbolisms and touching moments, if your are open to them. You won’t feel great playing this game, but you can appreciate the lessons it leaves you with and the care that was put into making such a complicated and engaging story. I will definitely remember this game for years to come and don’t regret playing it in any way. Thank you Naughty Dog for taking a risk and making what felt organic, instead of what people wanted to happen.    … Expand

    The mix between stealth, open fights and exploring is more than splendid! Normally, I‘m not the person to explore game enviroments exhaustively, but TLOU2 just keeps me interested enough, to keep on searching for upgrades, ammo and other supplies. Furthermore, the world is just so beautifully designed, that I often times just climb on a car and just stare at the environments. The crafting and upgrade systemis easy to understand and not as annoying as in other games. That being said, I really think people should snap out of it and learn to think outside of the nutshell. The way the story‘s told is Hollywood worthy and it‘s already one of the best games of the year. I also reckon it being relevant in 10 years.    … Expand

There are few games like this totally surpassed the previous setting and enhanced the whole story to a new level. Ellie doesn’t have a chance to forgive Joe, but she did that to Abby. We hate Abby at the beginning when she got Joel killed like a dog, but while we play as Abby, it is clear that Abby is just another Ellie who has a different background, connection, bond and of course body type(joking here, man! Abby is the beast, look how strong this character is!) Both of them could be good friends if they are in a different world, just like Joel thought Sara would like Ellie at the previous game. This game discusses the relationship between revenge and forgiveness, and the turning point is the one you want to protect with. Such a wonderful game, such a thoughtful game.… Expand

How can people rate this a 10. 1st of all, Joel has 20+ years of smuggling, he should know to fake his identity. But you throw that away and make him an idiot, Tommy too?? Like what were you guys thinking? Having Joel and Tommy the idiots of the game, disappointing. Joel should've known he was being led into enemy territory, example was in the first game where Joel knew he was being tricked by some hunter and ran him with the truck. 2nd of all was the false advertising, how disgusting is that. Tricking your fans, having our hopes high about Joel, then tricking us with flashbacks and Jesse. Naughty Dog, how can you make TLOU so good and come out with a sequel so bad??? 3rd and final, the way Joel died. A beloved character that WE FANS HAVE A WHOLE GAME WITH dies within 2hrs of the game to a chick that we don't care about and don't know. SERIOUSLY?? AND WE'RE FORCED TO PLAY HER AND FEEL SYMPATHY? Absolutely not. If you wanted to end the life of a main character that the fans love so much, at least let him die a hero, protecting or saving Ellie. 1/10 because of graphics.… Expand

That said, take the tens of thousands of negative reviews with a major grain of salt.

    Being part of that 20 percent, I have to say that this game is so much more inspired and has much more depth than it's getting credit for. From the game's design, to yes, the story. So while it may not be what you expected/wanted it to be, ND still did a good job of providing backstory and explaining WHY certain events may have taken place. I will admit, the game can feel a bit drawn out at times, and perhaps it is. But it's not as hollow and "predictable" as people are making it out to be. (Not unless you've seen the leaks, which I was fortunate enough to avoid.) Despite all the outrage, TLOU2 is one of the best titles I've played in quite some time. If you're a fan of the first game and didn't have it spoiled for you, please do yourself the favor of playing TLOU2 someday. Whether that means paying full price or buying it on sale, it's every bit worth the experience.    … Expand

    The first game left you happy but with a question, this game leaves you hopeful but empty. Really makes you have a new perspective on conflict.

    The gameplay was great, I always play on the hardest difficulty and it really feels like my life is in danger with every conflict. Graphics are great in gameplay and cutscenes. I like the characters, even tho most of the time there is a level of gloom so they can't really share there personalities.

    I do say I think they forced the LGBT movement not with Ellie but with Lev. Lev could of had a thousand other reasons to be kicked out of the Scars. I mean they are a cult, make up a rule. Now everyone is mad about Joel, and it did suck for him to die and to die the way he did, but that doesn't mean it wasn't done well. There are plenty of movies/shows or what have you that have similar scenes with a beloved character to die. This is the world, Joel always said their luck would run out sooner or later, and his finally ran out    … Expand

    I've never felt compelled to write a review for a game, but after playing The Last of Us Part II and witnessing the drama, I feel I must share my opinion.

    Story:

    The most important part of any linear, narrative-focused game. Unfortunately, it is this game's weakest part. At it's basic level, this game is a revenge story with a message that revenge is unimportant and harmful to the one seeking it. It's been done before but most stories have been; the key is how each take handles it. I do not feel that this game does anything new or unexpected with the concept, with the only twists being the lack of payoffs. There's also a disconnect between the theme of revenge and violence being bad and the majority of the gameplay. By the end, players will be accustomed and desensitized to violence, not put off by it.

    Worse still, the story's message causes characters to behave illogically at various points. If characters remained true to their nature, the game would either go in a different direction or the message of "revenge is bad" would have to be dropped. As it stands, different characters jump between bloodlust and mercy, often in the same scene, and each time it makes little sense.

    The worst part of the story, however, happens at about the mid-point. Having reached the climax, the game abruptly shifts and essentially begins again with the player starting at an earlier point with no upgrades or collected supplies. About half of the latter part of this game is played through in this way until arriving at the same climax as before. This is the equivalent of starting a story over and it utterly disrupts the progress. The story is not nearly abstract enough to call for this diversion and the result is a disjointed feeling of two different stories cobbled together. The natural thing would be to let the story progress from the climax and end, with the diversion appearing as an unlockable scenario to play when the first part is completed. It's not a radical idea but it makes sense and it prevents the derailment of the story's flow.

    The story is an average, uninspired affair brought down by characters plagued with inconsistencies and a bizarre narrative choice.

    Gameplay:

    It takes what the first game established and polishes it. The gameplay cycle of exploration and combat is the same with additions to stealth and combat mechanics. Gunplay especially feels more solid compared to the original game and melee options are also expanded upon. Exploration and puzzle solving sections also feel more robust. That said, none of the mechanics outdo games focused on one or fewer elements.

    Graphics:

    This is the pinnacle feature of this game. From character models to environments to animations, the only word for them all is "gorgeous". This game takes the style of its predecessor and upgrades everything to take advantage of the more powerful hardware. There's not much more I can say about it, except that the coders, animators, and artists are the real stars of this game.

    If this were end of my review I'd rate the game at five. Zero is for games that cannot function. Ten is for an immaculate product that does not exist. Despite the technical achievements, my score is dragged down by the story. That said, there are two more issues that I cannot in good faith ignore.

    1. Content Strikes and Review Embargos

    I'm combining these because they both have to do with censorship. When the leaks for this game came out, Naughty Dog was completely in the right to take down any clips, images, and discussions of the spoilers. Opinions on the contents without the contents, however, were different. Naughty Dog does not own people's opinions and such a shocking example of censorship is unforgivable. In addition, preventing critics from discussing the full game's story when that story is, again, the biggest part of the experience makes for half-finished reviews that do not give consumers the full picture. I'm deducting one point from my review in response to both these points.

    2. Crunch Time

    People say this is a problem with the game industry and they are right. With recent articles about Naught Dog's use of the concept, however, and looking at the beautiful graphics, I feel the crunch was especially cruel here. These employees are artists, not mules to be ground down by impossible burdens. If a game can't meet a release deadline without using sweatshop hours, push the damned release back. That goes for all game developers but I can only imagine the sacrifice Naughty Dog's employees had to endure to polish the game to this level. Until I see evidence of improvement, all of Naughty Dog's products I review will receive a penalty of one point.

    Summary:

    This is a gorgeous game with adequate gameplay let down by its story and the developer's questionable actions. Whatever awards the game receives, I hope the ones to accept them are the people who gave so much to make it possible, not the man standing on top of them.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is singlehandedly one of another of Naughty Dog’s great games. No, nobody paid me to say that. It is my own objective opinion. Every single aspect of this game is enjoyable which is why I think it deserves a 10/10. I won’t get into details but this story is simply the consequence of all of Joel’s actions put into a game with Ellie having to deal with those consequences, whether it’s having to deal with the countless lives that were lost from not having a vaccine to her having to fight a woman whose dad was murdered by Joel. No one is right in this game and every one is wrong. There are so many layers to this game, and to pick that a single person is wrong would be ignorant of this game’s story. Ellie’s bloodlust versus Abby’s revenge for her father was beautifully written. And one more thing, the reason that Abby was so broken up about her father’s death, wasn’t because someone killed him in cold blood but that based on a previous conversation she would have sacrificed herself for him, so she had the guilt of blaming herself for her father’s death her entire life, which caused her to be more intense, stronger, and to be more powerful. This is simply a good game, and I understand that some sensitive viewers will have a problem and can give their opinion but in general this game is amazing. Again, 10/10… Expand

Ultimately I really wanted to like this game but despite enjoying the gameplay which while outdated is still pretty good overall and only really begins to drag about half way through, I have to find myself agreeing with a lot of people on the story. Put simply the story did not satisfy me at all, watching Joel be killed in such a brutal manner even though he had done horrible things was pretty terrible in my opinion and overall going all the way through the game only to have Ellie spare Abby is pure garbage. Naughty Dog should have at least made the player choose whether to kill or spare her but instead the whole game feels empty for me after Ellie sparing her. I just despise that Ellie goes through so much and sacrifices so much and doesn't even kill the one person who actually killed Joel despite cutting people down like **** weeds for the whole story. TLDR a good solid 7.5 out of 10 which is dragged down to a 4 for me because of how disappointed I was by the end of it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First 15 hours were great and seemed to justify killing Joel as it was folding out into a great story.
    Playing as Abby changed that though. I felt forced to like her and feel sorry for her which I just didn't. I didn't care about anything that happened to her because Ellie is the character I, and everybody else, was connected to and the reason this game was purchased.
    To make matters worse you then want me to play as Abby and try to kill Ellie?? I let Ellie kill me and it claimed I failed the mission even though that's what I wanted to happen! I thought the ending may make it all worthwhile but it didn't. Abby was let free by Ellie, Dina left her and Ellie lost fingers in the process! It made me incredibly sad and angry that Joel was killed off for such a poor story and for no reason at the end.
    If Joel REALLY had to die, I would have preferred it to be via a bite and Ellie has to search for a new doctor to make the cure and sacrifice herself to save Joel from becoming infected OR kill Joel herself.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers: I think my only major complaint with the game is that the ending left me feeling empty and hopeless. Ellie saved her humanity by not killing Abby but still lost everything. Her one fear was ending up alone and at the end of the game she is. Not even able to play the guitar, her last connection with Joel. I also never really cared for Abby after the brutal killing of Joel. I still wanted her to pay, even after shifting to her perspective, which I found way too long too. I was never on her side and no amount of storytelling could have changed that for me. Everything else about the game I loved. I don’t think it was bad writing per say, but it was definitely not the outcome I wanted for characters that I have loved for 7 years. Why does Abby get the happy ending when Ellie and Tommy suffer? I just can’t wrap my head around that decision.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To whoever read it: let me start by saying that (1) I am not a troll but a serious 35 yo gamer, (2) TLOU1 was one of my favorite games, (3) I have no problem at all with the LGBTQ+ community.
    This is literally the way of destroying one of the greatest games ever created (actually TLOU1 was recently voted as 'game of the decade').
    SPOILERS AHEAD! STOP NOW TO AVOID THEM!
    Let's see how to start with. The first game was loved by millions of gamers not because it was the scariest, deepest, post-apocalyptic game with flawless controls but because of its fresh and excellently delivered story. That's the very reason why it's still a game that you love to play and that's why it will always be a masterpiece.
    Let us write about TLOU2 now. I will demonstrate the positive comments first because to do so, I won't even have to waste more than a couple of lines:
    1. The point where the horse dies in the beginning is something that I wasn't expecting, it was fast, and I loved it.
    2. The Joel/ Ellie part in the museum proves the lost potential that the game had... It was the best part of it in my opinion.
    3. The scene where Ellie falls into the water with Jesse (while in the car) was really good too.
    4. Abby fights the best resident evil-type enemy that we have ever seen in a LOU game.
    5. The, covered in flames, battle between the Scars and wolves was visually stunning.
    And that's it!
    Negative ones:
    1. Joel dies like a dog; a death that, always in my opinion, being the protagonist of the first game and a beloved character of ours, didn't deserve. This is also done very very early; I might have understood if that was happening around the middle of the game.
    2. In multiple cases we see that Ellie has become a scared fragile little person. I really don't understand why the creators chose to do that. That was the last thing I was expecting from this character. Ellie was a 'catchy' character exactly because of that! She was a bad-ass 14 yo girl; that's the main reason why TLOU1 was different than all the other scary post-apocalyptic games. Let me prove my claim: Dina appears to be more bad-ass than Ellie having killed a person at 10 yo comparing to Ellie who did so at 14. I don't have to say much about Abby; she is by far more bad-ass that the scared version of Ellie we got in this game...
    3. I didn't feel any bond with ANY of the new poorly presented characters.
    4. I never got into the song that Joel sung to Ellie. First time that she played it was fine; the next ones though seemed that ND tried to force us to feel something about it... (That's how I felt it at least.)
    5. We can partially understand Abby's hate towards Joel but to play with her?! Spend around half of the entire game to play with the most hated character that we have ever seen in the game? And go after Ellie too with her? No. That was just too much and I was forced to do that. From the moment I started playing with Abby, about who I didn't care at all, I was wishing for the game to end. But then I was getting more moves/ expansions/ weapons for her and I knew that I had to play more and more. I hated this part deep into my guts. My solution to that would be to play some (most?) of Abby's part BEFORE she killed Joel. I think that like that it would have been easier for the players to digest Abby's character as being the second main one.
    6. Each character had too many problems and conflicts and in the end I was emotionally drowned by that (Ellie vs Abby, Abby vs Mel, Ellie vs Dina, Dina vs Tommy, etc).
    7. Even though I saw that ND considers of creating a third LOU game, I think that LOU2 should have been finished at the house where we first see JJ. What follows (which is just a couple more hours) could have been fully developed in a third game (with Fireflies etc). It feels that they 'burned' the idea of Rattlers.
    8. This is a general comment about ND. I find it EXTREMELY misleading to the point that people might actually be able to sue ND that they altered the trailer of the game to show something that DOESN'T represent the game itself. Pay attention here. I am not talking about copy pasting different parts to alter the story so you have surprises when you play it. I am talking about putting Joel in the trailer to trick us that he actually accompanies Ellie in the adventure. Because of that alone I think that ND is the dirtiest video game company ever.
    9. What a horrible end... Everything was in vain. The people Ellie lost, the people she put in danger, just to let Abby go and for what? She felt bad for her because of her condition? She saw her as Joel and Lev as herself been protected by Joel?
    10. Awful story... What a pity; I am not pissed, honestly. I am as sad I can be for this game, which I was expecting for the past more than 5.5 years (since my last replay of LOU1 on PS4) with excitement...
    I played LOU1 on PS3 and then again on PS4 and I'll definitely play it yet again sometime in the future. I will not play LOU2 ever again though...    … Expand

The story is interesting and great BUT it doesn’t fit the first game not even a single bit. I know they said that they’re taking a different approach with it and that was a big mistake in my opinion. They could of killed Joel in later parts of the game and nobody would complain. Some are giving negative reviews because of LGBTQ+ implemented in the game but that’s just stupid. I personally didn’t care about that but the problem was lack of connection between Ellie and Dina. I enjoyed the game nevertheless, even tho I was hoping for a better story. First game still holds the crown in TLOU franchise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Fantastic game. It builds on the world of the first one, with amazing graphics and great story telling. The banter between characters is great, and the highlights in the game almost always involve interactions between them.

    Cons: Occasionally the pacing isn't great, giving you a little too much space to explore which slows down the story a lot. The combat continues to just be OK my opinion, and with stretches of gameplay alone, with no minor character banter, can drag, and doesn't quite live up to the first installment (which was a 9.5 for me). But pretty damn close.

    Overall though, still one of the best story/atmosphere games on this gen of console.

    For those hating: Stop being sexist bigots. I bet if Ellie and Joel traded places at the start, and everything else stayed the same, you all would love the game. Get your heads out of your asses, and grow up.    … Expand

    Most importantly the story. It is a vehemence.
    You get the chance to play a game that could not be more gray in terms of what or who is right. At frist it was kind of weird to switch and actually the the story from another perspective .Espacially because you are switching at a really important moment of the story. But after taking and going that way till the end it all makes sense and it can only fullfill all its strength of storytelling by doing exactly that. You are playing hero and bad guy at the same time.

    The game doesn't impressed me in any way. The gameplay is a bore-fest paired with weak story & plot holes. The treatment toward known character is disrespectful & most of the characters is pretty uninteresting. I didn't have any love toward the first one but I fully agreed that it is a far better game than part II. I don't really know who is this game for and for what crowd it is pandering to.

There are no moral choices for the player and you are subjugated to the 'plot' which is so poorly written.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine if on the next installment of God of War, Kratos gets killed by some elf's child for revenge 2 hours into the gameplay. That would suck.
    After all the buildup of the character of being such a badass and a fighter, the character dies in such disrespectful way and this happened to Joel.
    When I first heard the leaks of Joel's death, my prediction was that Ellie's girlfriend would get murdered and Ellie goes out for revenge. Joel follows her and when Ellie gets into trouble, Joel would be saving Ellie and during the process get killed. This angers Ellie even more and motivates her to get her revenge. I honestly think this would a respectful way to present Joel's death, saving Ellie.
    Joel's death is not even the worst part. With good writing with such major character dying so early in the game, I think the game could have received 9/10, but rest of the writing is horrible too. For second half of the game, the player is forced to play as Joel's killer, Abby and I think the devs were trying to make players sympathize(?) with Abby for her actions and make her look like a good person or likeable character (which was not working for me btw). Some of her actions are horrendous and it pissed me off that I had so play as her for such a long time and it felt like a waste of time for me. I think Abby's backstory could have been released as DLC (idk who would buy it) and cut down the main campaign's playtime significantly.
    Finally the ending was so unsatisfying. You play 20+ hours to let Abby go. I guess Ellie had this sudden realization that revenge is bad after killing hundreds of people to get to Abby. Ellie was fine killing so many people but she can't kill one person who actually killed Joel. After that, she returns to the house where Dina was supposed to wait for her to find nobody waiting. The game ends with Ellie failing to play guitar since she lost two of her fingers in final confrontation with Abby. It also shows this bittersweet conversation between Ellie and Joel about Ellie telling Joel that she won't be able to forgive Joel for what he did at the hospital from Last of Us and you can see Joel holding back his tears. I honestly felt so bad for Joel this game who saved Ellie because she reminded him of his dead daughter, Sarah, just to be disrespected by Ellie and get killed by random new character. Also, when did Ellie become such a **** This is not the Ellie I remember from the first Last of Us who was mature for her age and understanding.
    The first Last of Us had so many appealing side characters like Bill, Henry, Sam, Riley and even David ( who did his job to be terrifying). Some of the new characters from Last of Us part 2 are Abby, Jesse and Dina and I honestly found none of them relatable or appealing. Their dialogues were boring and I wish they had more character development in such a long game (20+hrs btw).

    It would be unfair to say that there are no good things in Last of Us part 2.
    They introduce new enemy types such as dogs and shamblers. It is nice of them to introduce more enemy types but I honestly wish there were more new enemies.
    Graphics also look amazing. It is easily next gen graphics and there's no denying that.
    New controls such as prone and jumping. Prone is somewhat useful but jumping might as well not exist if not for some geological puzzles.
    Gameplay is almost exactly same as first Last of Us which might be both good and bad. It means there were no improvements but personally for me, I was satisfied with it.

    The game looks amazing but that is about it and having such a long playtime doesn't help either, making it such a waste of time. I think this was such a wasted opportunity as a sequel to such an amazing game. The first Last of Us ending was perfect for me and did not need a sequel and I wish I can forget Last of Us Part 2 ever existed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No offense Naughty Dog but I hated The Last of Us 2. And not just because of Joel’s death. If you’re anything like me and you loved the developing relationship between Ellie and Joel in the first game, you would be sorely disappointed with this game. It’s only redeeming qualities are the graphics (which I will give them credit for, they are outstanding), gameplay (a little outdated but still okay), and the soundtrack. Sadly it ends there. The main reason people play this game is for the STORYLINE, and a decent one was not even remotely present in this game. Why spend years and years crafting this beautiful father-daughter like relationship between Joel and Ellie just to have it destroyed in the second game? Killing off Joel so soon in the game was a horrible move, and a big blow to those of us who love Joel (which I’m sure most of us do). To make matters worse the Ellie-Joel flashbacks, in my opinion the only good part of the story, appear AFTER his death which leaves such a bittersweet and melancholy feeling knowing he’s going to die a cruel death eventually, by Abby no less, a character we are forced to play before she dies and after for a huge chunk of the game (and I don’t even like her!!! AT ALL). If he had to die it should’ve been later in the game when they’ve established a real storyline because it happened too suddenly. Secondly the game is just downright depressing. It’s not fun to play whatsoever, because Naughty Dog mislead all of us with that BS advertising of Joel helping Ellie on her quest for revenge. Instead we were greeted with a swift death and the introduction of underdeveloped and bland characters. And guess what? They all end up dying or abandoning Ellie at the end (surprise surprise!) where she is just fingerless, unable to play the guitar (her only connection to Joel) unmotivated, and depressed. Which make us players incredibly depressed too! There was absolutely no reason for this to happen to Ellie. Seriously, we spent all the time killing and killing so violently just to get to Abby then we don’t even get to kill her at the end. It’s like, hello, what was the point of all that then? And it doesn’t help that I feel absolutely no remorse for Abby either. I WANTED her to die. All in all this storyline was a big risk on ND’s part but it did not pay off. I’m sorry but if a game leaves you feeling so enraged and sad it’s not a good game. These critics are out of their minds, they are only reviewing it on a technical level and are clearly not attached to any of the characters or storyline like true TLOU fans. 0/10.… Expand

    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]
