    Honestly speaking, one big disappointment (gameplay, plot, characters, lore - everything from the first part is ruined). I would not recommend this game to anyone. Also, the authors' response to criticism was from being adequate. The game is purely awful, while the authors started emphasizing political context of criticism in order to make better impression. Such a disappointment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely loved the first game, played it over and over again, and when I heard they were making a second one, I couldn’t contain my excitement!! But when the second instalment arrived.........well I can say I’ve played it through once and will not be playing it again. The game itself was very well done and the graphics were flawless, but I didn’t enjoy playing Ellie as much as I thought I would and the whole character swapping was the final nail in the coffin. The biggest setback for me was the story, from the moment Joel died I just felt like the game betrayed him by letting us play the girl that killed him and tried to tell her sob story so that killing Joel wouldn’t be so bad. Then right at the end after all that struggle, Ellie let her go!! I mean WTF?!?! Just a totally piss poor effort from naughty dog. Will not be playing the third if there is unless it’s a total rewrite of this poor effort of a story!! Expand

    Loved the original game, this one....not so much.

    Graphics and atmosphere are top notch. However there is no way this is a 10/10. Games like Bioshock, GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout NV are 10/10 games that are replayble, this is not.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story is poorly written. Characters act so out of how they were described in the first chapter. Joel's death makes no sense. The protagonists of the first game exist here only to be killed or destroyed for some reasons. Manipulative section to make you feel sorry for the villain. New characters are not interesting at all.
    The gameplay is good but almost the same as the first one. Good graphic at least.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This sequel made me feel like I was watching Game Of Thrones Season 8 again- an initially beautiful & strong story, totally trashed. And no- I am not hating "because my favourite character died", or that there was LGBT representation, or that Abby was "Swoll" (I wish i could throw punches like her). I am awarding 1 score for the graphics, and 2nd score for the game play. The story, its plot-holes and other nonsensical things (like PREGNANT women going to war or a woman being A FEW WEEKS LATE on her period, venturing into a zombie-infested wild country) get absolute zero. And a special ZERO for making us play 70% of the game with characters we didn't care about. The music is fantastic though, but that's not Naughty Dog's talent, so they dont get a score for it! Expand

I too have waited a very long time to play this game, I purchased it on release (my birthday), and while I found it a little slow to start with, I now find myself at the mid point in the game completely invested in the story and it's characters. The gameplay is amazing, and without any doubt this is the best looking game on the ps4. Very few games have compelled me to play through them again, however I played through the first game in this series several times, and once I have finished this game I can see myself doing exactly the same. It's a great game, experience, emotional rollercoaster filled with tender moment, heart stopping scares, great action and amazing presentation. It's not going to be for everyone, it can be tough at times, frustrating even, being hunted by a bunch of infected with no supplies is a scenario I have found myself dying in time and time again, but it is rewarding too. In my opinion, and I may be wrong, this is the game PS4 will be remembered for, and I would encourage anybody to at the very least try it. Maybe my opinion will change when the end game credits start to roll, but unless naughty dog have done something seriously wrong with the second half of this game, it's s perfect 10 for me. Expand

I’m pretty numb towards the writers of the last of us 2 right now, and have been since I saw Joel die. Why was this even brought up at the table? Which genius had that bright idea? Cuz it’s dumb! Every fan out there wanted Joel and Ellie to fight more monsters and grow into a deeper father daughter type relationship. Not this. Nobody asked for this. Nobody wanted what we got instead. Nobody. I hope someone learned something from this butt plunging, no soap, disheartening taste naughty dog left to all it’s “previous” fans. The game sold big numbers cuz fans thought they were getting Joel and Ellie back for another fantastic adventure. Had people have known what was really about to happen sales numbers would look very different. Then they make me use the very character that kills Joel... which I didn’t want any part of! I had to pause the game and think about if I really was gonna continue or not. I asked myself some very hard personal questions about my level of forgiveness towards people and if I was willing to go through with trying to understand Abbey’s side of the story. I didn’t want to. But I chose to stuff my emotions and see what naughty dog wanted me to feel. Fine, let’s go. Abbey grew on me and I started to feel her pain. Thanks for teaching me that, really. I’m better for it. Then you make me fight Ellie??? NO, I won’t. I don’t want to. Why!? Wtf! What’s wrong with y’all? I don’t want to fight her, I love her like a sister from 5 years ago, remember. What the hell is wrong with you people? Ok, so I can’t progress in the story unless I try to kill Ellie, so FINE we have to do it I guess. Now at this point I’m playing the game with nothing left to feel about Joel, or Ellie or Abbey cuz I’m too scared to like any characters anymore! So I’m just pushing buttons to get over the story by now. Maybe my love for artwork or the console itself will help. So I get to the end and abbey is looking like a crackhead but she still strong enough to go toe to toe with Ells. Whatever. It’s finally over and Ellie lost her girlfriend over for nothing. Water her time going to look for fake revenge. At least give me a reason to like somebody somewhere! Damn! Not even a little! Just rape me. Take my money and run. I haven’t felt this used since Glenn was killed of from walking dead! I’m not buying another game by naughty dog. Not after the way they treated my loyalty to their characters. I bought PlayStation avatars of the characters I loved, paid more money for the amped up version, and for what? To get it all taken away. Fool me once... Expand

What I have a problem is the lazy, heavy handed, hollow, and failed narrative it TRIES to pull off at the end. It blows my mind that they couldn't see this coming. Did they really think they could introduce us to a new character/narrative that is SOO good that we forget what we fell in love with in the first game and are willing to forgive the destruction of that. If Neil/ND are actually going to take their own 'moral of the story' from this game, then there shouldn't be a Part 3 or any humans dying in the hands of our protagonist in any of their games from now on. They killed their own franchise. And their fanbase. Unforgivable. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Incredibly disappointing! Combat and gameplay slightly improved from the last game, but the story is god awful. Ellie doesn't feel like Ellie. Joel's decision at the end of the last game is declared fundamentally WRONG, and he's a bad person who needs to make it right. No profound moral dilemma, just a hamfisted message about the "cycle of vengeance", and a depressing one at that. Druckmann was allowed a little too much creative freedom, and as a result, the game doesn't know what it wants to be. It tries to do several things at once, and fails intensely at all of them. Naughty Dog has broken their consistent cycle of quality, and sh*t the bed in one of the biggest franchises in
    AAA gaming. The ending leaves WAY too much open to interpretation, making it impossible to predict the likelihood of a sequel. If they do make a third game, I hope they steer far away from what they've done here! 1 OUT OF 10! Joel deserved better!

    Post Script: Just remembered all the early advertisements for this game, and how prominent Joel's character was in them. We were all lead to believe that Joel would be very important to this next game, and Ellie's motivation would be the death of Dina. Naughty Dog literally LIED in their advertising. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS LACK OF TRANSPARENCY BY PURCHASING THE GAME, TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO PAID FULL PRICE TO BE DEPRESSED FOR 20+ HOURS! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Story is where the complete mess is, illogical and abrasive. Some might say torturous. I found it to be very unpleasant and a waste of time. Story is a 1 out of 10. So that brings the overall score to a 4. But I’m giving it a 2 because it should have been another AAA title in my collection. It’s like a toxic relationship that you regret and wonder why you spent any time in it at all.
    For a much better written review, search for Vice's Zacny last of us 2 and you will find a spot on review that really breaks down this game. And I am not a fan of Vice at all. I only found out about the Vice review because I saw that Sony contacted him about his review, which isn’t a good look. And that’s coming from someone whose favorite console is PlayStation. That doesn’t foster an environment that encourages honest reviews, criticism, or discussions about games. I will probably never buy a Naughty Dog game again.

Honestly i don't care about the kids who vote 0 to games like this because they're frustrated about the death of Joel. This game is the highest point in our generation and deserve the 10, for the kids who don't understand the meaning of this game: shut up.

    * The grapich is wonderful, the details are perfect, lights and shadow are managed very well and the glance is spectacular.
    * The plot is complicated: Abby kills Joel because he killed her father, Ellie want revenge and kills a lot of Abby friends, so Abby search for revenge (again) and the story takes this way.
    * The charact design is excellent.
    * The gameplay is good and varied.

    The Last Of Us, the best game of our generation, is also one of the most hated games of our generation. But this is life.

I will say honestly that when i saw Joel being murdered by Abby, I truly wanted her dead. But te game was playing on my feelings, and that shows how great is Neil Druckmann as scenarist. By the end of the game, I didn't want to kill Abby at all, because she had already gone through some s***t. And I didn't want Ellie dead as well. And I think that the ending of that game is just amazing. I was feeling empty (in a positive way). I am really waiting for the III part!!! Expand

So yes, the vengeful feeling really got the best of me, and I was just too trigger-happy to thing wisely. It's not that I had a choice, mind you, but I wouldn't have chosen any different, without learning the full picture. But then the game offered me another perspective that I grew to like and grew fond of. When all hell broke loose and everything dawned on me, I was the idiot who believed I was right in the first place. Well, you know what I'm talking about, especially if you completed the story. I liked to be manipulated by not feeling accomplished or the main hero of the story. I had very little agency. Point me a game that makes you feel like that. But before you do, do yourself a favor and play this game. Expand

    First of I will be posting no spoilers and the following is my opinions on the game, that should be obvious to most people but some people get really offended by other peoples opinions so thought I’d include that statement for them.

The storyFirst of I will be posting no spoilers and the following is my opinions on the game, that should be obvious to most people but some people get really offended by other peoples opinions so thought I’d include that statement for them. This game is fantastic, the characters and setting are vastly more immersive than the first. The emotions connecting the characters, feels very real. The story they are trying to tell involves a lot of complex emotions. I understand some plot points have been hotly contended but in order to tell this kind of a story it needs to be done. I’ve often find myself both very hopeful and very Machiavellian in regards to humanity and society. This story happens to appeal to that very nature. The gameplay is very fun and tense when it needed to be. I couldn’t be happier with the way it has turned out and I see the reactions from angry gamers about the controversial plot point as a testament to how well written these characters are. The world is fleshed out really well the environment are open and linear which is perfect. The score is somber and thoughtful and I genuinely got lost in the music when it would kick in and exhilarated when it Would ramp up for a fight. The enemies are expertly crafted and will go down as some of the best enemy concepts ever, truly terrifying.

    Naughty dog has always delivered thee best games, The Jak and Daxter series was arguably one of my favourite game series and uncharted is one of the best game series ever made. The last of part II has ensured that the PS4s life cycle is going to end stronger than ever. Congratulations to Naughty Dog I cant wait for the future games from you.

Accept it already in real life there are, have long been and will continue to be some people with an orientation that is not familiar to you and they are not to blame for this and to judge or reproach them for this is stupid. And I would understand if the game screamed that LGBT is cool and let's all become gay, it's better than being straight, but NO. The game just has these characters and that's it! Have you ever played the game at all? I doubt that many of you have bought it or even have a console.

    The game itself fully meets expectations, the plot is presented very cool, the characters seem to be alive. The technical part is almost on top. The game actually deserves 9/10, but considering that now its rating is due to a bunch of inadequate monkeys with post-Soviet values in their heads, they need special support for a 10/10 slap.

All the hate is just like "I don't want it that way" - "the characters are dumb" - "Elli is not as sweet as in the first game". Yeah sure - but things can change in 4 years. Maybe there a less ambushes and Joel wasn't as sceptical (and he was somehow - like talking not that much, asking "yesterday" and stuff like that) like back than in all the q-zones. Different land - different people. And his relation and living with Tommy, settling down has maybe changed him. Elli on the other side is just on an emotional roller coaster ride and is trying to figure out what to do. She has hard moments and break downs. Abby is just a cold-hearted solider. Just like a character in the game said: "You are a bad person, Abby." And she tries to change that by helping these kids. Same as her loved person, who tries to change as well. Maybe she wants a new life. She is not following rules and is unpredictable, but hardly trained and signed by these harsh world.
    And like everybody else said: atmosphere is top notch, gameplay flows, graphics, sounds. All very very good. Like the hospital basement. Climbing down the broken building. These mediterranean's-feeling coast stuff. I liked it a lot.
    But yeah, the second part of the game has some long stretches. Could be better here and there. But overall I was pretty well entertained. And my expectations where high as well. But I wanted a different story and I got one. I am happy with that. It's a brave game. Like Sekiro. And that wasn't loved as well because expectations weren't matched. But it was still a good game in what it wanted it to be.

As a huge fan of the first TLOU, I want to start off by saying this is now my favorite game of ALL time. What Neil and Naughty Dog has accomplished is nothing short of excellence. 10 years from now, people will be talking about how TLOU2 has revolutionized the gaming industry. Future video games will be influenced by its brilliance.

    Critics have claimed TLOU2 is not worthy of praise due to its dark story line and character development. It is true, the game is very dark, but many great stories are. The same can be said about The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and many of the top shows or series nowadays. Remember when Jon Snow died? Fans protested and claimed they weren't going to watch the show anymore. The Walking Dead has also faced backlash and criticism for its plot points. If a critic can't understand TLOU2's ultimate theme and message it offers, it is probably why those critics rated the game with a low score. In a world dimly lit, there is a bright fire that burns with a very positive message. The game and character decisions are very realistic for the environment and situations they are placed in. A story being "dark" doesn't diminish the fact that the story arc is incredible. There is also, in my opinion, a very positive message to be had if you play it all the way through, even if it comes from dark circumstances.

    Many have blasted the game for its character development. There are a lot of people resistant to change, which you can see in the real world today. TLOU2 has so many themes about oppressed peoples, cultures, and nationalities, which some may not like. However, many (not all) are bigoted people that really don't want to see diversity in a video game, let alone real life. The character development is actually what makes the game compelling and has brought passion out of gamers, both negative and positive. Most giving unfair scrutiny to the game are biased critics that will never try to walk in another person's shoes or look at life from a different perspective.
    The storyline and characters are much more deeply rooted than most can understand. For something to change the way we look at things, it is and will be controversial. This is why Neil Druckmann states, "The game is not for everyone."

    I am fascinated by how well written the story is, but the gameplay also excels. TLOU2 expands on what its prequel already did well, adding some new mechanics to Ellie's ability to fight or flight. With the abilities to go prone, dodge, and jump, the gameplay is leaps above its predecessor. The graphics are absolutely the best I've seen in a video game, lending to its realism and makes everything even more believable.

    I truly hope there will be a third installment for TLOU. Seven years is a long time to wait for a sequel, but the wait was well worth it. Thank you Neil and the Naughty Dog team! I truly look forward to at least a trilogy and can't wait for the HBO series to air.

I can kind of understand the disappointment of some players concerning the story because the end sets everything to normal kind of. I feel that what would have made a better ending, is the last flashback of Ellie with Joel. The one at the dance was so sad for me because I taught it was the last words of Ellie to Joel. But actually during the last flashback I was expecting something more emotional between these 2, maybe something that recomforts Ellie in not finishing the job. I found the last flashback sad and think they could have been more to it. That would have made a perfect ending. But seriously what a game Expand

Playing as both the protagonist and antagonist is a very brave concept that Naughty Dog must be commended for. The story takes a second play through to truly understand and justify itself and is definitely not for people who don't believe in giving video games that much breathing space, which is totally understandable too, each on to it's own. After all that's said about the form of narrative, the gameplay mechanics remain faithful to the original, while every aspect is enhanced. The sound design and atmospheric tension is extraordinary, and I don't think any game comes close to what the ambiance achieves with its horror and survival elements. The graphics is 'next gen' so say the least. The colour palette is fresh and is worthy of immense artistic merit. The lighting is incredibly rendered, with this being on par with extraordinary games like Red Dead Redemption II and Control. To conclude with, it's only a moment of time before the true feelings of the game is acknowledged and the preliminary hate goes away. This is a masterpiece. Definitely Game of The Year Contention.
